Zhu Ming took the initiative to hand over the military power in exchange for his life, Jin Ping, Luo Zhen, and Qi Kai looked at each other, and the three of them also stood up, holding their respective talismans and generals in both hands, and said to Shangguan Xiu: "My lord, I will wait...... I would like to return to my hometown!"

It is true that they are reluctant to hand over military power, but compared with their lives, what is military power? With the experience of Jiang Lian, Di Qing, and Guanglin, they now dare not cling to their military power and refuse to let go.

Shangguan Xiu glanced around at the four of them, sighed faintly, and said, "You all have to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown." Well, everyone has their own ambitions, since the generals have already made a decision, it is inconvenient for me to block it, in the future, the daily expenses of the generals can be provided by the Zhenxi Army, what do the four generals think is good?"

"Master Xie!" Jin Ping, Zhu Yang, Luo Zhen, and Qi Kai bowed again.

Shangguan Xiu first used Guanglin to get rid of Jiang Lian and Di Qing, and then logically used this to eradicate the Guanglin lineage, and at the same time, he deterred Jin Ping, Zhu Yang, Luo Zhen, and Qi Kai, the four rebel generals who led the army to surrender, forcing them to surrender their military power in exchange for their own lives. After this series of actions, the Zhenxi Army completely became the army of Shangguan Xiu, and there were no other factions within the Zhenxi Army, and if there were factions, only the Shura Hall faction remained. The next chapter has been updated

It can be said that he single-handedly played Jiang Lian, Di Qing, Guanglin, Jinping, Zhu Yang, and other rebel generals in the palm of his hand, avoiding the internal division of the Zhenxi Army and laying a solid foundation for the comprehensive integration of the Zhenxi Army.

After taking over the military power of the rebels, Shangguan Xiu began to carry out a drastic integration of the Zhenxi army.

Now that the Zhenxi Army has controlled the entire territory of Zhenjun, it is not appropriate to continue to call it the Zhenxi Army, and it is too one-sided, Shangguanxiu officially renamed the Zhenxi Army as the Zhenjun Army, referred to as the Zhenjun Army.

Shangguan Xiu's direct troops are close to 200,000, and now they have joined the subordinates left behind in Guanglin, as well as Jiang Lian and Di Qing and other six-way rebels, and the total strength has been more than 500,000 people, the area of Zhenjun is large enough, but the land is too barren to support such a huge army, Shangguan Xiu then began to streamline the Zhenxi army.

The main targets of his streamlining were Guanglin's subordinates and those rebels who had taken refuge from Zhendong, these armies together were close to 300,000 people, and Shangguan Xiu cut down more than 100,000 people, and finally left behind basically the elite men who were loyal to the Zhenjun, and then Shangguan Xiu scattered all the remaining more than 100,000 soldiers and incorporated them into his own direct army.

At this point, the total strength of the Zhenjun Army was reduced to 400,000, and the establishment under its command was four integrated corps. The commander of the second legion of the Zhenjun Army is Luo Ren, the commander of the third legion is Zhan Xiong, and the commander of the fourth legion is An Yifu, as for the commander of the first legion, Shangguan Xiu couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, and as the commander of the Zhenjun Army, he temporarily served as the commander of the first legion.

At the beginning of the establishment of each legion, the strongest combat power was the first and second two legions, and the officers and men who formed these two legions were basically from the directly subordinate army of the Zhenxi Army, and they were all soldiers who had undergone long-term training and had been on the battlefield for a long time.

The weakest force is the Fourth Legion, and most of the personnel who make up the Fourth Legion are from the rebels.

An Yifu has no complaints about this, he can achieve the position of corps commander as a civilian, Shangguan Xiu's promotion of him has made him grateful to Dade, and Shangguan Xiu did not deliberately give An Yifu small shoes to wear.

In Shangguan Xiu's view, among the brothers under his command, only An Yifu is really handsome, and the fourth legion with the most rebels is handed over to An Yifu, and he can train the fourth legion into a very effective legion in the shortest possible time, it is worth mentioning that the cavalry corps received from Guanglin's subordinates is in the fourth legion, which is also the only cavalry corps in the Zhenjun army at present, as for the cavalry commanded by Sui Tangjing, it can only be called a cavalry battalion, and it is far from reaching the size of the corps.

At this point, the Zhenjun Army was officially established in Zhenjun, which is a large army dominated by Zhenjun people and a strength of 400,000 people, although Shangguan Xiu was not canonized by the imperial court with any official positions and titles, only a small battalion captain title, but in fact, he is already one of the most powerful local princes in the country of Feng.

With the establishment of the Zhenjun Army, Shangguan Xiu's name really spread throughout the Wind Country.

Since the Feng people didn't pay much attention to the barren land of Zhenjun, when they suddenly heard that there was such a person as Shangguan Xiu, and he was also the commander of the 400,000 Zhenjun army, they all felt as if he suddenly appeared from Zhenjun overnight.

After the establishment of the Zhenjun Army, Shangguanxiu also became extremely busy, and there were too many affairs to deal with next, an army of 400,000 had to eat, drink, money, food, and armaments every day, and it was not easy to feed such a large army in Zhenjun. Moreover, the Zhenjun army claimed to be the regular army of Zhenjun, not the rebels, and it was impossible for them to arbitrarily rob the people of money and food.

On this day, Shangguan Xiu discussed military affairs with the generals under his command in the county governor's mansion.

Since Shangguan Xiu went on a killing spree in the county guard mansion and beheaded Guanglin and dozens of generals under his command, he moved to the county governor's mansion to live, he was not afraid of the bad luck of the lonely ghost coming to him, in his mind, his ideal official position was the county lieutenant, so that he could also justifiably command his Zhenjun army.

When everyone was discussing military affairs, Zhao Chen hurriedly walked in from outside, he looked at the people left and right, and then walked directly to Shangguan Xiu's side, bent down, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, something happened in Shuangtai County." ”

"What's the matter?" Shangguan Xiu picked up the teacup and took a slow sip of tea.

"Brother Xiu, the county guard and county lieutenant we sent to Shuangtai County were killed. Zhao Chen said cautiously.

"What?" Shangguan Xiu heard this, put the teacup on the table with a snap, frowned, and asked, "Who did it?"

Zhao Chen bowed down and said, "Yes...... It was Guanglin's nephew, Guangfang. ”

"Guangfang? he is the only one who did it?" "Yes, Brother Xiu!" "Who is this Guangfang?" Shangguan Xiu's face was puzzled, Guangfang alone actually killed the county guards and county lieutenants he sent to Taizhou, which is also too unbelievable.

Zhao Chen whispered: "As far as his subordinates know, Master Guangfang is from the Divine Pond and is the closed disciple of Elder Jiao Zhan of the Divine Pool. This person is strong and maverick, and he doesn't pay much attention to Guanglin's uncle. The reason why Guanglin didn't bring Guangfang when he came to Xijing was because Guangfang suddenly ran into Tianmen Mountain to suppress bandits. ”

"Therefore, now that he has finished suppressing the bandits, he came out of Tianmen Mountain and found that Guanglin had already died under my knife, so he vented this anger on the county guard and county lieutenant in Taizhou. Shangguan Xiu laughed out loud and said.

"Presumably so. Zhao Chen nodded in response, and after a pause, he cleared his throat again, and said softly: "The brother over there in Taizhou reported that after Guangfang killed the county guard and the county lieutenant, he also said that he would come to Xijing and ...... I want to find Brother Xiu to pay for his uncle's life. ”

"Hmph!" Shangguan Xiu sneered and said: "If he doesn't come to me, I still want to go to him, Guanglin's family, when the grass is cut and rooted, since Guangfang is Guanglin's nephew, this person must not be left!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Qiyue stood up, intervened in the salute, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Xiu, hand over this Guangfang to your subordinates, and your subordinates promise that within three days, he will bring his head back to see Brother Xiu!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, and before he could answer, Li Qiuteng stood up and said loudly: "Kill chickens and use cattle slaughtering knives!" My lord, the head of this thief will be handed over to the last general to get it, the last general is willing to make a military order, if you can't take off the dog head of Guangfang, the last general will ......."

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand at him, and couldn't help but smile: "It's just to kill Guangfang alone, and not to fight, what kind of military order is there?"

After a pause, he changed his words and said: "Okay, Li Qiu, I will give you a thousand soldiers and horses to go to Shuangtai County, if you can capture the live mouth, it is naturally the best, if you can't capture the live mouth, you can also bring back the corpse of Guangfang." ”

"The last general obeys!" Li Qiu was overjoyed and intervened to give a salute, and bowed to Duan Qiyue happily, then turned around and strode out.

Looking at Li Qiu's departing back, Duan Qiyue showed a look of disappointment. Shangguan Xiu said: "Old Duan, you shouldn't go out during this time. ”

"I don't know what Brother Xiu commanded?" Duan Qiyue asked curiously.

"There are not a few dark cultivators who have come to defect in the past few days, and you need to be responsible for reviewing and screening, and include those brothers who are really willing to join and are strong in spiritual martial arts into the Shadow Banner. Shangguan Xiu said: "There are too few brothers in Shadow Banner, and we also need to expand our manpower as soon as possible. ”

The Dark Flag and the Shadow Flag are two sharp blades in Shangguan Xiu's hands, the former is in charge of intelligence, and the latter is in charge of assassination.

Duan Qiyue was happy when he heard this, nodded again and again, and responded: "Yes, Brother Xiu, my subordinates will definitely handle this matter." ”

Shangguan Xiu turned his gaze, looked at Luo Fu again, and asked, "Old Luo, is there any news from the county lord?"

Luo Fu's face was straight, and he said: "Two days ago, I received a reply from my brother who went out with the army, saying that the county lord had led the army to attack Asan in Ningnan, and there were fifty or sixty thousand Ningnan troops stationed in Eshan, and the wounded soldiers under the command of the county lord were lost, and there were still 80,000 soldiers who could fight. ”

"Asan ......" Shangguan Xiu muttered and asked, "Where is that? Do we have a map of Ningnan?"

"Yes, Brother Xiu. Xiao Jue replied.

"Take it at once, and show it to me. ”

Xiao Jue agreed, walked out quickly, and after a short time, he took a large map. Spread the map on the table, Luo Fu stepped forward, looked for a while on the map, pointed his finger, and said: "Brother Xiu, this is Ashan!"
