Chapter 348: The Divine Sword King

Long Tao did not snatch the horse and escape, but fled and killed on foot, attracting thousands of Wagang troops to chase after him.

In order to delay time, he deliberately slowed down, turned back from time to time to kill the enemy, deliberately fell into a heavy siege, and gave the enemy hope of killing him, so he led the pursuers in a large circle nearby.

Xu Shiji was a famous general after all, and soon recovered his composure from the shame and anger of being defeated by Long Tao's move, and divided 5,000 men and horses to pursue the Yunbao convoy with all his might, leaving only 2,000 people to chase and kill Long Tao.

Long Tao grabbed a war horse, performed the technique of combining men and horses, got rid of the pursuers, and chased the 5,000 pursuing troops to kill.

He rode alone, flexible and free, picked the opponent's cavalry team to attack, killed and injured dozens of horsemen and horses to attack and then turned his head and withdrew, disturbing the Wagang army was annoying, but there was nothing to be done.

After going south for fifty miles, Long Tao met some palace maids who fled for their lives, and knew that Sima Dejiao had followed his instructions and used the strategy of suspicious soldiers to disperse the palace maids who accompanied the team one after another, so that they scattered and fled, making it difficult for the Wagang pursuers to judge the correct direction of pursuit.

In fact, the retreat route designed by Long Tao for the convoy was to go straight to the south of Tongji Canal, blatantly pass through the sphere of influence of the Wagang Army, pass through Wagang, Weicheng, Jiyang, and Waihuang, and reach the vicinity of Jixian along the Tongji Canal.

In order to deal with Yu Wenhua, Li Mi dispatched a total of more than 150,000 troops, and the elite of the Wagang army was exhausted, Long Tao expected that the defenders of the rest of the cities of the Wagang army would not be too many, and the 5,000 Xiaoguo army could definitely escort the treasure team to Tongji Canal safely.

Five days later, Long Tao came to the dock outside Jixian County, Xu Shiji's pursuers were still fifty miles away, and he had completely lost the opportunity to catch up with the convoy.

Bu Tianzhi appeared on the deck of a big ship, Long Tao flew onto the ship, and Yun Yuzhen and Chen Laomou all rushed out of the cabin.

Yun Yuzhen threw himself into his arms without hesitation, and said diligently: "Brother Kuan, you are finally back!" ”

Bu Tianzhi and Chen Laomou looked at each other and smiled, turned around and turned into the cabin.

Long Tao hugged Yun Yuzhen, kissed her lips, and said with a smile: "The leader of the Yuzhen Gang, so unreserved, aren't you afraid of losing the prestige of the gang leader?" ”

Yun Yu Zhen smiled sweetly: "People can't take care of so much, you don't know how anxious Yu Zhen has been waiting these days!" The spy came back and said that Xu Shiji chased you with thousands of soldiers and horses, but he worried people to death! ”

Long Tao said in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that he deliberately left him alive in order not to affect the plot of Li Mi's attack on Luoyang, which would it be this kid's turn to chase me, but he said: "I deliberately entangled with them for a few more days, so that General Sima could smoothly transport his belongings away, if I had known that Yu Zhen had come here to wait for me in person, I would definitely come back earlier!" ”

After speaking, he hugged her and walked into the cabin.

The big ship set sail and headed south along the Tongji Canal.

Long Tao and the three of them sat around the table, and Bu Tianzhi was reporting on the progress of Yunbao.

"General Sima's convoy arrived early yesterday morning, and all the belongings were loaded onto the flyship and taken away, and General Sima took 5,000 Xiaoguowei and more than 3,000 troops to cross the river and head south."

Chen Laomou said excitedly: "I have roughly estimated that the property recovered this time is worth no less than 800,000 taels of gold, which is enough for us to use for a while!" ”

Long Tao looked at Yun Yuzhen, "What's the situation on Yuzhen's side?" ”

Yun Yu Zhen smiled and said, "The 20,000 Xiaoguo army has already settled in Hongze Lake, and now I am waiting for you, the Divine Sword King, to return to the palace!" ”

"Divine Sword King?" Long Tao was stunned and said, "What's going on?" ”

"Naturally, it's a new name for you!" Yun Yuzhen covered his mouth and smiled, "Since Brother Kuan is preparing to start an incident, he must make a banner, otherwise how can he lead one side?" After discussing it, let's ask Brother Kuan to call him the King of the Divine Sword for the time being, and as for the matter of being called the emperor, it will not be too late for us to obtain the city in the future. ”

"This name is too ......" Long Tao raised his forehead and smiled bitterly, "It's too casual, isn't it, how does it look like a one-sided overlord?" Even the self-proclaimed King of Garuda who eats people Zhu Cang feels much more decent than this! ”

Bu Tianzhi said: "Master Yan must not think that we are based on your sword random name, in fact, this is our decision after careful consideration, now we are just starting, the most needed is appeal, the name of the master's sword, in the poor people is very appealing, many poor athletes are willing to rush to this name." ”

Yun Yuzhen smiled: "Brother Kuan, this name was not called out by us in the first place, but was given to you spontaneously by the people who came to join the army, and now it has spread, and you can't change it if you want to!" ”

Long Tao was puzzled: "Join the army? ”

Yun Yuzhen nodded and said: "Well, more than 20,000 Xiaoguo troops have settled in the area of Hongze Lake, it is impossible not to move at all, and within a few days after the news spread, some people came to sign up for the army, and named them to come to the Divine Sword King!" ”

Chen Laomou grinned and added: "That's right, that's right, they all think that you have an artifact in your hand, and you are the true son of heaven destined by God, and the people nearby have sent wine, meat and food to worship you, the real dragon!" Haha......"

Long Tao smiled speechlessly and bitterly, what else could he say when the matter came to this?

The next day, the big ship arrived at Hongze Lake, Sima Dejiao and other generals led an army of 30,000 to meet the King of the Divine Sword, and when all the soldiers called the king, Long Tao knew that this nickname was completely pressed on him.

The army was inspected by him on a field thirty miles east of the lake, and Long Tao rode around the circle, returned to the front of the formation, and immediately announced the reward for the three armies.

When the morale was high, Long Tao controlled the war horse to stand up, the front hooves were in the air, the head was neighing, and the dragon slaying knife appeared in his hand out of thin air at this time, and he was held high.

This miraculous scene made all the soldiers enthusiastic and shouted in unison: "King! King! ”

"I know you all miss your hometown in Guanzhong."

Long Tao's clear voice overshadowed the voices of the audience, and reached the ears of every soldier, and the army fell silent, and everyone listened attentively.

"Your relatives back home are also waiting for you to go back and live a happy life. However, the faint king is dead, the world is in chaos, the heroes are rising together, and the war is endless, where is there a happy place in this world? If the world is not unified for a day, your relatives will rarely have a happy day! You are all good men, why don't you lend me a passion temporarily, I swear here, I will take you to kill a world peace, lay a paradise on earth, let you return to your hometown, and enjoy a prosperous world with your family! ”

In the end, Long Tao lifted the reins again, and pointed at the sky with his sword, like a mighty god.

The blood of the soldiers surged and they shouted again.

"Long live the King!"

"Swear to follow!"

The cry spread all over the four fields and did not disperse for a long time......

After the military parade, Long Tao summoned the generals and leading officers at all levels below Sima Dejiao, as well as the leaders of the Jukun Gang Yun Yuzhen, Bu Tianzhi, Chen Laomou and other leaders, to discuss matters together and initially formulate a simple organizational structure.

Long Tao imitated the old Sui military system, set up a guard house, and each guard unified the army, with one general and two generals, and the generals of all sizes under their jurisdiction.

Therefore, there was a shortage of soldiers and horses, and only a palace was set up for the time being, with Sima Dejiao as the general, Zhao Xingshu as the general, Li Xiaoben, Yin Zhengqing, and Dou Xian as the subordinate generals, and the Janissary Mansion commanded the original 25,000 Xiaoguo Army, which was renamed the Divine Sword Janissaries.

The Praetorian Guard Mansion is responsible for military training and conquest matters, and in addition to the Praetorian Guard Mansion, there is also a Divine Sword Mansion to deal with other miscellaneous matters.

The Divine Sword Mansion is composed of the children of the Giant Kun Gang and more than 3,000 chariot transporters who have surrendered, and is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Yun Yuzhen, Bu Tianzhi and other leaders of the Giant Kun Gang.

Since the emperor had not yet been declared the founding of the country at this time, he only briefly divided the responsibilities of each person, and even Yun Yuzhen, Bu Tianzhi, Chen Laomou and others had not even decided their official positions, and their actions were still based on the way of the previous gang, and everything was rearranged after they had a foundation.

Although it was only taking shape, everyone was excited, as if they were seeing a new empire slowly emerging.

After the partition was completed, everyone discussed which city to take first.
