After Shangguan Xiu finished speaking, everyone present nodded in unison and said, "Yes! Brother Xiu!"

"Ah Jin, tomorrow you allocate some silver to come out and build the hall card of Shura Hall, and all the brothers of Shura Hall in the future will use the hall card as a certificate. ”

"Okay, Brother Xiu. Qian Jin immediately responded.

Shangguan Xiu's establishment of the Shura Hall at the beginning was completely a whim, just to facilitate the work for Tang Yu, and now, he really put his mind into the Shura Hall and carried out a series of refinements to the interior of the Shura Hall.

Even so, the Shura Hall at this time was only beginning to take shape, and compared to the huge Shura faction in the future, it was far from it.

The next day, the city lord Liu Yun was busy posting announcements, making it clear that Wang Dao's murder had nothing to do with him, but the actions of his people, while Shangguan Xiu and his brothers began to carry out drastic reforms of the Huya Pass defenders.

First of all, the establishment of the 10 battalions of Huyaguan was reduced to one battalion, with Zhan Xiong as the battalion lieutenant, and there were 10 brigades under the battalion, each of which had an uncle, Cao Lei, Yuan Mu, Ding Leng, Jia Caixuan, Hao Shu, Sui Tangjing, Shao Han, and Qin Chuan, and the other two vacancies were filled by Peng Fei and Jin Lin, who had performed well in the battle against the people.

There are also ten squads under each brigade, and there are ten chiefs, and the post of chief is held by soldiers who are brave in battle.

After being downsized, the establishment of the Huya Pass garrison is finally no longer as chaotic as before.

On the other side, the Shura Hall also began to recruit people on a large scale, and the two branch hall masters and eight banner masters took advantage of their authority to recruit the defenders to study the Luo Hall.

With the banner of Shangguan Xiu, the recruitment of Shura Hall can be said to be a response, and nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers in the city, without exception, all joined Shura Hall.

Shangguan Xiu and the heroic people in the hostile battle are all witnessed, this time the reason why they were able to hold the tiger tooth pass, repelled thousands of soldiers, almost all relied on Shangguan Xiu alone, that was really in the thousands of troops to take the head of the enemy general, in one fell swoop to scare away the soldiers, following such a hall master, people are willing in their hearts, but also have motivation in their bones.

The backbone of the Shura Hall has also created thousands of Shura Hall cards.

The hall card of the hall master is polished by beautiful jade, it is a beautiful jade card, the hall card of the branch hall master is a gold medal made of gold, the hall card of the flag master is a silver medal, and those who can enter the eight banners are elites, their hall card is a bronze medal, and the gang below is an iron card.

It was from this time that the army under the command of Shangguan Xiu was wearing two cards, one was the military card of the Wind Army, and the other was the hall card of Shuratang.

The hall card is greater than the military card, and the hall order is greater than the military order, and this feature has also been continued, becoming the most distinctive place for the Shangguan Xiu people.

It is not easy to rely on the strength of the current battalion to hold the Huya Pass, and Shangguan Xiu has set a condition of doubling the military salary and levying new recruits into the army.

It's just that the effect is very limited, and there are very few people who are willing to come to Huya Pass to join the army, and in the past few days, the number of defenders at Huya Pass has not increased much.

On this day, the City Captain's Mansion received a letter from Yicheng. Long Yang, the captain of Yicheng City, asked Huya Pass to send troops and join forces with him to exterminate the rebels in Shuangyang Town.

Yicheng is located in the east of Huya Pass, only 60 miles apart, and Shuangyang Town is located in the north of Yicheng, which is close to Yicheng.

It has not been a day or two since Shuangyang Town rebelled against the party, Longyang has led troops to crusade several times, and also beat the rebel party away several times, but as soon as he withdraws his troops back to Yicheng, the rebel party will run back to Shuangyang Town, and so on several times, Longyang has no good way to deal with it.

Not long ago, he sent 200 soldiers to garrison Shuangyang Town, but within three days, the 200 soldiers were defeated by the rebels, losing more than 100 people, and only more than 20 remnants of soldiers escaped. Longyang was furious and led his troops to attack Longyang Town again, but this time the rebels in Longyang Town did not flee and stayed in the town to fight to the death with the Yicheng army.

The rebellious party resisted stubbornly, and the Yicheng army led by Long Yang could not be attacked for a long time, in this case, Long Yang thought of the Huya Pass, which lived next to Yicheng. He had also heard about the Huya Pass defenders led by Shang Guanxiu who had repelled thousands of soldiers, so it can be seen that although the number of Huya Pass defenders was small, their combat power was very strong, and if the defenders of Huya Pass could come to their aid, it would be much easier to completely exterminate the rebels in Shuangyang Town.

It was in this situation that Long Yang sent a letter to Huyaguan asking for help, asking Shangguan Xiu to send troops to help.

After reading the letter sent by Long Yang, Shangguan Xiu brought Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong and others to discuss countermeasures with them.

After everyone arrived, he handed over his letter to everyone for circulation, and when everyone read it, Shangguan Xiu asked, "What do you brothers think?"

Luo Ren frowned, shook his head and said: "Brother Xiu, we can't help with this, the defenders in the city only have a thousand brothers, and we have to beware of Fanzi's sneak attack, divide the troops to help Yicheng, what if Fanzi calls?"

Zhan Xiong said: "It stands to reason that Yicheng is close to us, and Yicheng is in difficulty, we should help with this, but our troops are too small, and it is extremely difficult to replenish the troops, and a wounded brother is equal to one less brother, it is really ...... It is not advisable to make unnecessary sacrifices. ”

Even Zhan Xiong, who hated the traitorous party, didn't think he should come to the aid of Yicheng now.

Shangguan Xiu sighed thoughtfully and said, "Yes, our troops are too small. With the location and importance of Huya Pass, even if there are 10,000 garrisons, we only have 1,000 people in our hands. We must expand the number, and by any means, we must replenish the troops, at least five battalions must be built in the city!"

Everyone looked at each other, with a wry smile on their faces, five days have passed, and less than 30 recruits have been recruited, and it is estimated that it will be enough to establish five battalions in another year or two.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Shangguan Xiu said with deep eyes: "The reason why we can't recruit new recruits is because our reputation is too small, and no one in Zhenjun knows about our existence, so we have to do something earth-shattering, only in this way will we be known by people, and people will come to join us!"

When people heard this, their eyes lit up, and they said in unison: "What does Brother Xiu mean is that we are going to help Yicheng this time and help Yicheng defeat the rebels, and make a splash?"

"Haha!" Shangguan Xiu smiled, shook his head and said: "With the strength of two cities to fight a rebel army in Shuangyang Town, even if it wins, it is a matter of course, how can it have a blockbuster effect?"

"Brother Xiu means ......"

"Go out of Xiguan (Huya Pass), enter Shah, and crusade against the fans who came to invade my border pass!" Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and he said word by word.

When everyone heard this, their jaws almost fell. There are dozens of large and small tribes in Shah, and the Ba tribe that came to attack the city as the main force last time is not considered a strong tribe, even so, they still have thousands of soldiers, and they only have a thousand people, so what qualifications do they have to crusade against others?

Luo Ren swallowed his saliva, looked at Shangguan Xiu cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, I'm afraid that as soon as we step into the territory of Shah, we will ...... was destroyed by others......"

"Haha!" Shangguan Xiu laughed on his back and said, "Fanzi thinks the same way, so Fanzi would never have expected that we would take the initiative to go out and counterattack them." Surprise and attack it unprepared, which can greatly increase our chances of victory!"

"Brother Xiu...... Which tribe does Brother Xiu plan to attack?"

Without waiting for Shangguan Xiu to speak, Qian Jin, who had been sitting in the corner silently, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Daba tribe!"

Hearing his words, everyone present rolled their eyes together, and Cao Lei said angrily: "You sit down quickly!

Shangguan Xiu asked with great interest: "Ah Jin, why did you say that you want to fight the Ba tribe?"

"For the money!"

"What?" everyone raised their eyebrows in unison.

Qian Jin Zhengse said: "These days, I have been dealing with the merchants of the Ba tribe a lot, and I heard a news from the Ba traders. ”

"Oh?" Shangguan Xiu asked curiously, "What's the news?"

"The Ba tribe has discovered tungsten gold in their territory. Qian Jin whispered.

"Huh?" Hearing the words tungsten gold ore, Cao Lei stood up unconsciously. Shangguan Xiu was also shocked and asked, "Is this true?"

Qian Jin raised his fingers and said: "Brother Xiu, I swear, that's what the Ba people traders said! Last time the Ba people caravan was robbed, it was they who transported the collected tungsten gold to Xijing (Zhenjun County) to sell, and on the way back, tens of thousands of taels of silver were robbed, otherwise, the Ba people would not be angry and devastated to gather the fine tribe and the white bird clan to attack the tiger tooth pass." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Cao Lei shouted.

"What's the use of talking about it earlier? The tungsten gold mine is in the territory of the Ba tribe, and it has nothing to do with us, but now that Brother Xiu has decided to take the initiative, I think we should fight the Ba tribe first, and strive to take down the tungsten gold mine and get it into our hands!" Qian Jin licked his dry lips and said with a shiny eye.

Tungsten gold is too precious, tungsten gold ore is equivalent to a cornucopia, a cash cow, can master a tungsten gold mine, not only solve the problem of their own spiritual weapons, but also return a large amount of gold and silver.

It's no wonder that the spiritual cultivators of the Ba tribe use spirit arrows as ordinary arrows, it turns out that they have tungsten gold ore as support, and they don't care about the consumption of spirit weapons at all. Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled and fell into deep thought.

In the past few days, he has been thinking about taking the initiative to attack, but the object he chooses to attack is the fine and white bird clan, relatively speaking, the strength of the fine and white bird clan is weak, and it is easy to fight, and it is close to the tiger tooth pass, and he can run after the fight, and it is convenient to retreat, which can play the role of killing chickens and monkeys, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and can make a name for himself, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Now that he learned that the Ba tribe had mastered a tungsten gold mine, Shangguan Xiu had to reconsider his strategy.

If you can win that tungsten gold mine, of course, it is great, but the question is, how can you take that tungsten gold mine?
