Yu Qingzhi, Tang Linna, and Lin Yueyin are all interested in shutting up.

They all felt that Populus euphratica was a bad stomach, and they didn't know what bad ideas they were fighting again.

From their point of view, they were willing to attack the bandits around them in order to kill them all. Otherwise, they will definitely be worse than dead!

Just look at Ling Qing's treatment. The person in charge of the Suizhou branch of the twelve-story building is now a complete dog. As long as Hu Yang has a look and a move, she will come up and curry favor with her. Her sense of dignity was completely absent.

The fact that Hu Yang did not kill those bandits immediately was definitely not merciful to them. He must have had a worse way to deal with them.

Sure enough, when night fell, Hu Yang left the team alone and sneaked into the night.

No one knows what Populus euphratica is going to do. However, everyone knew that he was doing something bad.

It wasn't until dawn that Populus Hu came back.

And all the thieves quietly dispersed.

Tang Linna couldn't help but ask curiously what was going on.

The result is conceivable, Hu Yang kept silent, or he talked about him left and right, and never answered positively.

"He's not going to refine them all into slaves, is he?"

"It's possible!

"What does he want so many slaves for?"

"Anyway, you don't need to spend money to support them, and one more is better than one less. ”

"He's not going to turn Rongzhou into his own territory, is he?"

Several women were muttering behind their backs, quietly guessing the purpose of Populus euphratica.

They all felt that Hu Yang was playing a big game of chess.

Perhaps, he can really turn Rongzhou into his own world?

Their speculations soon became reality.

In the time that followed, the old trick continued to be repeated.

Whenever he encountered thieves or rebels who were not long-sighted, he would refine them into slaves.

When it was still several days away from Lingao City, the capital of Rongzhou, the slaves under Hu Yang had exceeded 5,000.

Ling Qing left the caravan to lead this powerful army of slaves. They began to fight everywhere.

There is no doubt that any rebel or bandit is no match for the slave warbands of the poplars.

The slave team of the poplar is very special in nature.

They will share the damage.

Unless they are killed in seconds, they can't be killed.

In other words, a soldier in this slave army will always be immortal as long as he is not killed on the spot.

There is no doubt that such an immortal body has great benefits for the improvement of combat effectiveness.

Even if you don't know any combat skills before, after dozens of actual battles, you will become a master.

Not to mention, these slave soldiers were also able to learn some of the exercises and some of the combat skills from the poplars.

As a result, before Hu Yang and the others arrived in Lingao City, his slave team had already conquered Lingao City.

Ling Qing led hundreds of slave soldiers to welcome Hu Yang and the others outside the city.

"Hmm......" Tang Linna felt that she wanted to say something, but it was difficult to say.

"This ......" Lin Yueyin and Yu Qingzhi also felt weird.

None of them could have imagined that the situation would eventually develop to this end.

They also thought they would have to be careful about dealing with rebels or thieves along the way. Unexpectedly, Populus euphratica is the biggest rebel leader!

The slave team controlled by this guy is definitely the most powerful military force on the ground in Rongzhou!

Now, Hu Yang has occupied Lingao City and has become the overlord of Rongzhou.

I don't know what kind of mood the forces behind it will be.

They will definitely be confused, and they don't know where this poplar is sacred, right?

"What? Lingao City has been occupied by a group of thieves who don't know their identity?"

They have just finished assembling and are ready to go to reinforce Rongzhou, ready to suppress the rebellion in Rongzhou!

Unexpectedly, before he set off, Rongzhou had already fallen.

The fall of Lingao Castle declared the complete bankruptcy of the battle plan.

There is no longer any need for them to reinforce Rongzhou. If you go, you can only beat the dog with meat buns.

"Who is this poplar? Is he from the Twelfth Floor?" Wang Tong, the commander of the imperial army, was very puzzled.

"I don't know. The leader of the spies smiled helplessly and said, "I've never heard of this name. I'm sure that there was no such person in the Twelfth Floor, or around the rebels and thieves. He must have been found by Ling Qing temporarily. ”

"But the troops under his command are extremely combat-effective!" Wang Tong frowned.

"Yes!" the leader of the spies was speechless, with a bitter expression.

They really don't have any information about Populus euphratica.

Populus euphratica came from the west. His message has not yet reached the Eagle King Pass.

Also not receiving news from Hu Yang was Mo Yang, a high-ranking rebel officer. He had a strong army of 30,000 rebels.

"Where did this poplar come from?" Mo Yang was very puzzled and worried.

He came to Rongzhou directly from Hetu City.

His mission was to set off a huge storm in Rongzhou and shake the whole country.

He had done it successfully. In a very short period of days, he lit sparks on all the ground in Rongzhou.

Originally, he was ready to conquer Lingao City in one fell swoop in the next few days, and give the rebellion in Rongzhou a perfect ending. But he didn't expect that when he woke up, Lingao City had been occupied. Moreover, the people who occupied Lingao City were actually a group of unknown bandits!

"I don't know who he is. However, his subordinates are very complicated. Zhang Er Mazi, Liu Xiaodao, Wang Dagong, Brahma Tiandu, Yu Guanyin and others all became his subordinates. And that Ling Qing is the person in charge of the Suizhou branch of the twelve-story building. Jin Moran, who was in charge of intelligence, said.

"The composition of his subordinates is so complicated, and the number of people is not large, how can the combat effectiveness be so strong?" Mo Yang felt more and more puzzled the more he thought about it, this is not normal!

Everyone knows that a rabble cannot fight. No matter how large the number of people is, the rabble is also a rabble, and it is not effective at all. Even, the greater the number of rabble, the lower the combat effectiveness. Because everyone will tear each other down and pull each other's backs.

For this, Mo Yang himself is very clear. Therefore, there are not too many thieves or bandits in his team. He can't let the rabble from outside degrade his fighting power. But Populus euphratica did the opposite.

The original Lingao City was garrisoned by about 10,000 imperial court troops, which was also considered elite.

As a result, Ling Qing only used 5,000 people to conquer Lingao City, which was simply terrifying.

Now, he is faced with a serious question: should he attack Lingao City?

If Lingao City was occupied by the imperial army, of course he would attack immediately.

However, it was Ling Qing who captured Lingao City. And Ling Qing, that was the person from the twelve-story building.

Broadly speaking, the Twelve Towers and the rebels are the same master. We're all in the same boat.

Without the consent of the three princes, his rash attack on Lingao City would definitely cause a split within his own forces, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
