In the red clay city sky, "the black smoke that the wind does not blow away is like a dark cloud covering the sky", and columns of smoke are spewed out from the chimneys that are placed in the clouds, "like a demonic beast that spews smoke".

When the sound of metal percussion sounded crisply on the iron platform under the huge bamboo shed, "it seems that there is only one sound", but when you listen closely, you can hear that every hammer falls, the sound is strong and weak, but the dry hundred hammers are lifted and fell, and a rhythm has been formed.

Zira's weapon was thrown into the pool with a clamp in the cold ice spring, and a mist rose from it, and it was the Weapon Workshop of Red Clay City, which had hardly stopped running since the war began.

The number of craftsmen recruited from Chuzhou, Yangzhou and even other places was placed here, and the number once exceeded 30,000, of which carpenters, blacksmiths and leathermen accounted for more than ninety percent, and every day a steady stream of weapons, armor, leather armor, arrows and other war materials were produced

The Red Clay City, which almost enclosed several surrounding mountains, has been expanded several times, and the population of the entire Red Clay City is as high as tens of thousands, and among the huge number of people, the largest number of "except craftsmen" is the barbarian slaves.

From the first life of the Weeping Blood Valley towards the Savage Jungle, the more easily tame barbarian women were trained to patrol and guard the Golden River and the safety of the Weeping Blood Valley, and the men were filled into the army of barbarian slaves.

From the thousands of barbarian slaves at the beginning of the establishment of the Weeping Blood Castle to the current 'more than 70,000 barbarian slaves in the Red Clay City', it is not enough to clean up the surrounding tribes, and they have begun to plunder the farther jungle to fill the labor gap in the Red Clay City.

These tens of thousands of barbarian slaves are not soft-footed shrimp 'living in the jungle and harsh environment all year round' Every adult barbarian has experienced the survival of the fittest in nature, and the rest are all warriors who survived the battle, and in the barbarian tribes that advocate strength, strength is admired.

Tens of thousands of barbarian slaves gathered in one place, but this power is even far beyond the point that the Weeping Blood Valley can control, once these barbarian slaves are violent, the Weeping Blood Castle will definitely be destroyed, and there will not even be any scum left, but so far, among this group of barbarian slaves, there is not a single one who has been violent.

Not because the savage nature of the barbarians has dissipated, and they are 'willing to be enslaved,' but because of the soil above their heads. Possessed by a brutal enslaver, the lord of Red Clay City, 'Zhang Han.

Zhang Han was one of the first generals summoned by Leng Zhuo, but unlike Zhao Yun, Li Yuanba, Dian Wei and others, who had been following Leng Zhuo's side, he had been stationed in the Weeping Blood Valley in obscurity, leading the huge slave team to build the Weeping Blood Valley. Weeping Blood Valley has the scale it has today, and Zhang Han has made a lot of contributions.

After three years of silence, he has been burying himself in this reckless jungle, and finally, Zhang Han ushered in Leng Zhuo's appointment.

"Governor Xuan, Lao Zhang, I have been in this barren mountains and mountains for a long time, but the news of the external rain is not very well-informed, but the young master of Hu is leading the troops to confront what holy religion in Chuxi, the specific situation is not known, I don't know if it can be for Lao Zhang!,'

Xuan Chen served as a governor of the logistics transfer yamen in Nanping, of course, "this is only an official face, in fact, the whole logistics transfer yamen has become the brain of Leng Zhuo's forces, and Xuan Chen is also mixed with some core resolutions, this time" is because the situation in Nanlin Mansion may have a big change, so he walked this way.

Xuanchen put down the teacup in his hand and smiled at Zhang Han and said, "General Zhang is polite." However, the general wants to listen, 'Xuan Chen will naturally tell everything he knows!,'

At present, the situation in Chuzhou is "there is an enemy who is snooping on the outside, and there is a disaster of Xiao Wall inside", which can be dangerous, and most of the four prefectures in western Chu west of Xiangshui have fallen, and the holy army, the nobles, and the private army are in rebellion, and the local gate lords have also attracted soldiers and horses, and the king of Qicheng is called the king of the "local erosion", which is out of control!,'

"Along the line of Xiangshui, Nanhu County in the north is still stationed in Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other departments, as well as about 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Poyang Water Army, which can be stalemate on the first line of the southwest mountain range, and the Xiyan Mansion in the middle of the country is along the three counties of Xiangshui, and the young master organizes more than 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend the territory, and the situation in Jialin Mansion in the south is better, Qin Qiong, Bureau Chi Gong, and several generals still occupy the two eastern counties, and they are still holding on to the natural danger!''

"Now the Suzaku Datang has stepped up the recruitment of new soldiers, and the remaining several main divisions are expanded, but it is not an overnight thing to restore the former strength, and the Li Tang army, which has recently been resting for three months, has recovered from the previous embattled army, and has also begun to move, "It is estimated that before the end of the year, it will invade Chuzhou south again!,"

"But Li Tang in the north, we can't manage that far, but this time we came here" because the nobles of Nanxing Mansion and Nanlin Mansion where we are also turned against each other, and now they have been connected in series, "It may happen at any time!"

"You also know that there are not many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in the hands of the young master, and the army has been expanded in the form of a baggage battalion before, although it has also achieved some results, but the time is too short after all, and there are some restrictions, so the strength has been insufficient, although the aristocratic private army in Nanxing Mansion is in our hands, but Nanxing Mansion is so large, and the strength of several county towns has also become weak, and the only one who can move is the cavalry of General Huo Liang, but this army has to maintain the peace of Nanxing Mansion and at the same time guard the Weeping Blood Castle, and it is impossible to mobilize too far. ’’

"Nanlin Mansion is now choking our passage to the outside of the Weeping Blood Valley, 'once Nanlin Mansion is in turmoil', Suzaku Mansion will also be implicated, and our foreign trade routes will also be affected, so no matter what, Nanlin Mansion must ensure stability!"

"I understand!'' Zhang Han nodded, although the situation in Chuzhou was chaotic, but it was not traceless, it was worn, that is, the interests were in effect, and the young master took the soldiers and horses to defend Xiangshui, "just to ensure that Xiangshui, a waterway that connects to the outside world", and the same pacification of Nanlin was also to ensure the stability of this golden road.

War is about money, and by ensuring the safety of this trade route, you can continue to engorge yourself and grow stronger.

"There are some words 'Actually, I don't know if to ask' General Zhang has been in charge of Red Clay City for more than a year' has never made a mistake, but this time the situation is a little different, and several military advisors are also a little worried, will there be some uncontrollable situation in this armed slave army!''

Zhang Han asked with Xuan Chen's heart, but he smiled and said: "Governor Xuan, you can rest assured, 'My old Zhang doesn't dare to pack tickets' under his hands, but this group of barbarian slaves is absolutely available, 'others don't dare', as long as 'I give an order', the 70,000 slave army will be available in an instant!, who dares to stand in the way of the young master, 'I Zhang Han led people to step on him directly!,'

"With General Zhang's words, 'I'm relieved', but General Zhang's formation of a slave army 'can't let go of the operation of Red Clay City!

"Of course!''

At the end of the 557th year of the empire, a barbarian army was formed in the Red Clay City, a city of miracles in the wild jungle, and a barbarian army that crisscrossed most of the empire's territory and conquered the wilderness in the south.

Zhang Han, as the commander of the barbarian slave army, directly organized the more than 70,000 elite barbarian slaves in the red clay city into three slave army divisions, the most elite of which was the first red clay division, which was composed of barbarian slaves who had been in the weeping blood valley for a year, and selected the warriors among the barbarian slaves to form the first beast cavalry brigade, although the mounts were a little messy, but it was a well-deserved beast cavalry brigade.

The reorganization of the slave army went smoothly' because from the very beginning, Zhang Han would implement the hierarchical system of barbarian slaves, as the general of the Qin State who was in charge of the Legalists, the system was 'almost strict laws and regulations like a machine, perhaps when other armies, Zhang Han's system was too strict and tyrannical, but for the barbarian slaves, it was power, power.

Among the barbarian slaves, there was a strict hierarchy, and Zhang Han alone could not manage such a large group of slaves under any circumstances, so he looked for those powerful barbarian warriors from among the slaves, and after subduing them by force, he appointed these people as leaders, and then set up the layers of "and the higher the rank", the more full strength he enjoyed, such as women's "comfortable houses", plenty of food, and even no need to work.

As a barbarian in the form of a tribe, he was "himself under the rule of semi-slavery", but Zhang Han's perfect system of rule was "a perfect slavery, and under this system" there was "no hope of advancement, and you could also have privileges", as long as you were strong enough to defeat those who stood at your head.

It was with this system that Zhang Han established a large net among the slaves, and began to operate irreversibly, and the newly captured slaves spent time in the adaptation system and elimination, and those who adapted to join and those who did not adapt died here.

There is a plain along the Hongshui River in the Red Clay City, where the 25,000 barbarian warriors of the 1st Red Clay Division gathered, Zhang Han stood on a huge mound, riding his huge moon rhinoceros, looking down.

"Slaves, your masters, the lord of the Weeping Blood Valley, the Marquis of Ping'an has issued a secret order to 'form the armed forces of the Red Earth City' and you 'will become one of them' to be selected to stand here', showing that your loyalty and strength have been recognized by me, follow me, go to the enemies who dare to stand in the way of the lord, and establish meritorious deeds, you will take off the hat of slaves and become brave and loyal warriors, even nobles under the lord's command!"

"Now I declare the '1st Division of the Red Clay Legion formed' take up the weapons under your feet' 'Follow me to conquer!,'

"Roar, roar, roar!" Tens of thousands of barbarian slaves in the square roared and raised their blades, and a wild battle from the heart instantly filled the whole body, and the roar shook the red clay city, covering up the sound of striking iron, and rushed straight into the nine heavens.

The 1st Division of the Slave Army was formed' and set out a day later.
