Chapter 859: The King of Shu

The madness caused by the Holy Armor soldiers in Vermilion Bird City did not affect too widely, although this matter was like a leaky colander, which had spread all over the streets and alleys, and women and children knew about it, but in the five major legions, it was not affected too much.

On December 28, the third day of the countdown to 558, the first batch of prisoners of war who were to be incorporated into the Panlong Army from Xiangyang City all the way south arrived in the valley of Sichuan, and the number of soldiers and horses was enough to reach tens of thousands.

Outside the city of Sichuan, the temporary school field, dense camp center, but it is an open flat land, tens of thousands of soldiers according to a team of 100 people arranged into hundreds of phalanxes, is the so-called 10,000 people, overwhelming, from the point of the platform to look down, people like mountains and seas, densely packed.

Liang Hongyu, Qin Liangyu and other most of the main generals of the Panlong Legion have rushed to Vermilion Bird City, and only Wu Zixu and Sun Bin are left in the Panlong Legion, and on the general platform, Wu Zixu and Sun Bin are surrounded by a group of generals, and they go to the general platform, overlooking the entire school field.

"It seems that this batch of soldiers and horses is very good, standing neatly, not moving like a mountain, but unfortunately the killing spirit is weaker, and this momentum is not formed!" Wu Zixu swept over the army formation and commented.

Sun Bin smiled faintly and said, "It's not bad, I went to Xiangyang City specifically, and I fought and fought with several other legions, so I gave priority to selecting 20,000 people! The soldiers standing here are all at least seven years old, and most of them are from the forbidden army and the three major legions of Youzhou!"

"Don't look at them now, they don't have much killing energy, as long as they are trained a little, these people are sharp weapons on the battlefield, but now, this army of soldiers and horses has no soul, so it looks unsatisfactory! In just three months, I can turn them into an unrivaled army!"

Sun Bin said confidently that Sun Bin and Wu Zixu had been serving as the military advisor of the Panlong Legion before, although the two were responsible for the action plan of the whole army, but the two did not directly lead the troops, not that the two did not want to receive them, but that there were no suitable soldiers for the two of them.

Each department of the Panlong Legion originally had its own main general, and although the soldiers and horses that were expanded locally were all suitable soldiers, most of them were untrained hunters, young and strong, and it would undoubtedly take three or five years to train a strong army.

For various reasons, Sun Bin and Wu Zixu have not been able to lead an army alone, but this time it is undoubtedly a good opportunity, most of the prisoners of war exchanged from the Tang Army are soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, and these soldiers are the most elite part of the empire.

However, it is obviously not so easy to subdue this army and horses, the chaos of the empire, the-for-tat between the prince and the new emperor, most of the main generals in the army have been purged, so that the soldiers are out of chaos, and they don't know who they are loyal to, this kind of confusion is undoubtedly the biggest killer of a strong army.

Sun Bin didn't say anything on stage, and after standing for a few minutes, he announced his disbandment, and the generals didn't know what to do.

"What are you going to do, the combat strength of this army is not a problem, and the body has almost been raised these days, but it is not easy for them to recover that kind of spirit!" Wu Zixu naturally saw what the biggest problem of this army was, the soldiers who lost their faith were undoubtedly the saddest, and the glory they had always thought had collapsed.

"Hehe, the mountain people have their own tricks, but we still need to wait, fortunately, there is no rush now, we still have time to do this!" Sun Bin said.

Vermilion Bird City, the Soldiers and Horses Envoy's Mansion, the backyard, Leng Zhuo looked at the latest information from Shuzhou in his hand, but he threw it aside: "It seems that we have to wait a little longer!"

Liang Hongyu picked up the information on the table and swept it up, but Leng Zhuo said, "How about it, the exquisite battle armor can still fit you!"

There are a lot of female generals around Leng Zhuo, Liang Hongyu, Qin Liangyu, Long Wushuang, Bai Shuang, Sophia, You Ji, Nanfeng Ling, these women all lead the female guard camp, and even command a legion, in addition, Nangong Yuhu, Beicheng Bingxin, and even Wei Zhilan all want a set, although they don't lead the troops, but this does not prevent them from wanting to, and it is not good for Leng Zhuo not to give it to anyone, fortunately, this exquisite armor is not lacking, even if it is one or two sets short, it is not a big problem.

"Well, it's very suitable and comfortable to wear!"

"This King of Shu is a talented character!" After a while, Liang Hongyu, who had read the information, finally spoke.

Leng Zhuo nodded and said: "The King of Shu is indeed an outlier, I thought that the peaceful environment in Shu would wear down the King of Shu, but who would have thought that this King of Shu, who is usually inconspicuous, made a move, it was such a thunderous horse, and the appeal of this King of Shu in Shuzhou was too strong, I didn't expect those nobles to be so supportive!"

The information is just from the Shuzhong Dazhou Administration, the city of abundance, this is located between the Tianhe River and the Osmanthus River, is the most populous in Shuzhou, the largest area of the super city, pick up the scale, actually not less than the ancient Chang'an, the current emperor.

Shuzhou Chengping, the land of Jiufu, grain three crops a year, hundreds of years of chaos, which leads to the population of Shuzhou Jiufu is not less than hundreds of millions, which also leads to the dense population of Shuzhou and Sichuan, and many big cities.

The King of Shu is very ancient, can be traced back to the second emperor of the empire, the King of Shu at that time was the most powerful heir to the throne, but when the old emperor was dying, he was named the King of Shu, and the disguised distribution was in a remote place, and after that, the King of Shu never went out of Sichuan Jiufu again.

A hundred years ago, the rebellion of the kings, the king of Shu supported the Shenwu Emperor, provided money and food, and played a huge role in the re-establishment of Kyushu for the Shenwu Emperor.

But low-key does not mean that the Shu king's lineage has no influence in Shuzhou, on the contrary, this Shu Wangfu, which is not obvious in the plain mountains and waters, is quite influential in Shuzhou, and the holy sect army crossed the Pingyang River into Xiping Mansion, the hinterland of Sichuan, and the Shu king's lineage finally stood up.

As soon as the king of Shu stood up, he shouted, and suddenly all the nobles of the nine provinces of Shu and Sichuan responded, and even the commanders of the three major legions of Shuzhou were willing to accept the commander of the king of Shu, it can be said that all of a sudden, Shuzhou has a strong party, and the current king of Shu, who is only forty years old, is the grandfather of the new emperor, and it can be said that the weight of this prince is no worse than that of several other grandchildren.

Shuzhou's soldiers and horses, there are three major legions such as pus-packed, there are also noble private soldiers such elite soldiers, as soon as the king of Shu stands out, the nobles have dispatched their elites, gathering in the city of abundance, don't underestimate the nobles of Shuzhou, maybe a Shuzhou nobleman has more than two or three thousand soldiers and horses, less than five or six hundred, but can't stand the Shuzhou nobles more!

The land of Shuzhou, divided into nine inner provinces, outer nine provinces, the inner nine provinces are now the nine provinces of Sichuan, and the outer nine provinces refer to the autonomous area of the Tusi, although it is also divided into nine provinces, but there are no imperial officials, all ruled by the Tusi, although the Tusi Territory is sealed by the empire, but many times, there is often friction with the Inner Nine Mansions, and between the Tusi Leaders, there are also constant attacks.

At the same time as Shuzhou Chengping, Shuzhou is also the most chaotic place in the empire, and because of the Tusi leader, the number of nobles in Shuzhou is huge, and all the elites under their command are elite, and most of the private soldiers have been passed down for several generations or more than ten generations.

This force is usually scattered on the vast territory line between the inner nine provinces and the outer nine provinces, in normal times, all people only know the three major legions of Shuzhou, and not many people will pay attention to this scattered noble private army, but when the king of Shu ascended to the heights, the power revealed by Shuzhou made Leng Zhuo's heart tremble.

The five hundred nobles of Shuzhou, in a short period of time, gathered no less than 300,000 elites to take over the defense of the inner nine provinces from the border of the inner nine provinces, and as soon as this force was invested, the advance of the holy sect army was suddenly stopped, and the momentum of the previous breakthrough all the way also hit the wall one after another, and the elite soldiers of this noble army were defeated.

Treating Shuzhou as a piece of meat on a board can be said to be the biggest mistake, and Leng Zhuo's road to Shuchuan seems to be full of twists and turns.

"It seems that the time to enter Shu is going to be postponed, but it's okay like this, Shuzhou let the Holy Sect fight, we just hurry up the time to recuperate, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"

"Well, after two years of war in Chuzhou, the place is shattered, and this year's harvest is reduced, the support army is already overstretched, and it is good to take a breath, but the two prefectures in Chuxi cannot be taken back immediately!" Liang Hongyu said.

"Sooner or later, you have to get it back, the most important thing now is to reorganize the various armies, this time to receive a large number of prisoners of war, how to integrate into the army is the key! Your Panlong Legion has received a lot of prisoners of war this time, and the Panlong Legion has a thin foundation, so if you want to complete the integration, you can go way!"

The empire spent 558 years in chaos and comfort unconsciously, Chuzhou because of the stability of the situation, finally passed a number of years, time into 559 years, with the rolling Tianhe water flowing, winter passed, spring came again.

The exchange contract with the Tang Dynasty in Zhongzhou in the north ended in February, and when the last batch of prisoners of war set foot on Chuzhou soil, more than 440,000 captured emperors were absorbed by the five major armies of Chuzhou.

And with the spring blossoms, Beicheng Mingyue, who returned to Beijing in the north last autumn, went south again, and the Beicheng family secretly separated, Beicheng Mingyue took part of the Beicheng family to the south by boat, and the secret power of the Beicheng family also began to go south, and at the same time, the Ximen family also sent a team, although the Ximen family and the Leng family did not have much intersection, but Ximen Blowing Snow had a good relationship with the Leng family, and Ximen Blowing Snow's daughter was the next head of the Ximen family to repay the hope, and the natural Ximen family was also involved with the Leng family.

And this time to the south, in addition to the private affairs of the two families, Wei Guogong also received the emperor's order to go south, and at the same time, the imperial princess Situ Xue also left the palace and went south to Yangzhou, and an open and secret battle has quietly begun.
