The so-called ferocious army is the army of Yue that was incorporated after Xiong Wuliang took revenge on Yue Guo.

At the beginning, all 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Vietnamese army surrendered, and the most elite 10,000 of them were selected by Xiong Wuliang and organized into the Fierce Army—this is an army specializing in mountain and jungle warfare, and under certain conditions, it can exert a combat power far beyond that of the Quyang New Army, which is also a foot soldier.

In Xiong Wuliang's planning, these 10,000 soldiers will play an important role in the 'Lingnan Pioneering' and the next 'Raiding Bashu'.

Take a longer view - wait until the time to cross the mountains to attack Qin, or attack Korea with mountainous terrain...... The brutal army must also be the main force in attacking the fortifications.

At this moment, Lu Yi is reporting to Xiong Wuliang about the current situation of the fierce barbarian army-

“…… The new equipment has been fully equipped; The three armies have been training rigorously in Langya, and the results have been remarkable......"

"The brutal army is up and down, ready to fight at any time!"

Xiong Wuliang nodded with satisfaction - the loyalty of Lu Yi and this fierce army is still worthy of trust.

Since the integration and reorganization of this fierce army, Xiong Wuliang has also been cultivating this army as his own lineage - all the treatment is compared to the Quyang New Army and the Xiao Cavalry Army.

In the distribution of new equipment, Xiong Wuliang is also very generous!

The 10,000 fierce barbarian army, equipped with a light wooden stud-inlaid small round shield, removed the Changge halberd, which caused inconvenience in the jungle, and chose the curved sword that prevailed in the land of Wu Yue - Wu Hook.

The so-called Wu hook is a unique scimitar in the land of Wu Yue.

In this era, the main battle weapon of the Central Plains country, in addition to the Changge halberd, is the straight sword. Due to the backward iron-smelting process and other reasons, the sword, the main battle weapon that prevailed in later generations, was not yet popularized in the Warring States period.

And Wu Hook, shaped like a sickle - is a rare knife in the world!

In jungle combat, Wu hook can be cut and stabbed, the technique is flexible and changeable, in addition to combat, you can also chop rattan, which is really better than a sword.

In addition to Wu Hook, the brutal army was also issued with a half-body front breastplate that was mainly lightweight, which ensured protection to the greatest extent.

Three pairs of studded cowhide combat boots ensured the mobile combat capability of this mountain unit in the jungle.

In addition, it is Xiong Wuliang's housekeeping weapon - the standard wooden repeater.

With such equipment, it is really armed to the teeth!

In addition, after being incorporated by Xiong Wuliang, he trained all day long, fully ensuring three meals a day and balanced nutrition......

In short, the fierce army, the soldiers are strong!

Lu Yi finally concluded: "The fierce army is ready! I am willing to die for the prince! ”

After that, Lu Yi saluted solemnly.

As Xiong Wuliang's subordinate, the treatment of the brutal army is really good, and the monthly salary is soft...... Lu Yi even always felt unsure!

In this way, the fierce army is looking forward to fighting day and night!

It is necessary to prove his role to Xiong Wuliang as soon as possible...... Otherwise, this money is really unsafe!

Thinking of this, Lu Yi added another sentence with gusting hands: "Please show the prince and the marquis - when will the fierce barbarian army go to Lingnan?" ”

Xiong Wuliang tilted his head slightly, glanced at Zhaohua, and then smiled mysteriously......

"There's no hurry."

"Playing with him."

……

According to Xiong Wuliang's original idea - with the fierce army and Lu Yi, a powerful general, coupled with the power of the nobles of the Chu State, it should be easy to develop Lingnan.

But in this way, it will indeed be like Qu Yuan said - the nobles will make a lot of money in Lingnan.

It does not match the general direction of strong stems and weak branches.

Fortunately, we have summoned such a strategist who lacks virtue to smoke, and offered Xiong Wuliang a plan - drag!

Let the Lingnan Pioneer Group composed of those nobles go first! And Xiong Wuliang has to put on a completely indifferent attitude at the moment!

In this way, these aristocratic forces can feel Xiong Wuliang's 'sincerity', and they no longer need to worry about being criticized by Xiong Wuliang or even taking the opportunity to weaken their strength...... Subjectively, they will be more willing to participate.

But when they really arrive in Lingnan, they will definitely pay a lot of price due to various reasons such as poison barriers.

In this way, it has the effect of weakening them!

When the time comes, Xiong Wuliang will come out of the mountain as a 'savior', and he can show his strength - the thieves, diseases, etc., that the nobles have suffered heavy losses in Lingnan will be easily destroyed here in Xiong Wuliang.

Second, we can also take the opportunity to put forward more demands - such as the regulations that Xiong Wuliang swore to 'whoever pioneers the land will belong to whomever he pioneered'...... You can change it when the time comes.

Third, let those nobles know that the Lingnan pioneer will not be able to play without Xiong Wuliang!

Tut.

After Zhao Hua offered this strategy to Xiong Wuliang, even the unscrupulous Qu Yanghou couldn't help but be amazed-

Summoning slippery, you're a real dog!

But...... Won my heart!

As a result, Xiong Wuliang drew a cake without any bottom line at today's daytime conference - a posture that he wanted to hand over the entire Lingnan to the nobles to divide up.

In fact, this guy is already ready in his heart - sit and watch the nobles send a wave, and then Shi Shiran will come out to clean up the situation. When the time comes, it will be given to those nobles who have already seen the wealth of Lingnan with their own eyes and have been fished into a warped mouth...... Propose new conditions!

It's too unscrupulous!

Of course, Lu Yi didn't understand Xiong Wuliang and Zhao Slippery's foot (risk) wisdom (evil) and more (use) strategy (heart), but as a newly surrendered general, even if he was eager to fight, he had no room for refutation, so he could only frown and say: "I hope to start fighting ...... early"

"The sons and daughters practice all day long, and they are looking forward to a real sword and a real gun!"

"Let the prince see that your money is not in vain......

Hearing this, everyone in the room laughed.

Xiong Wuliang couldn't help laughing, and said firmly: "Don't worry, it won't be long." ”

……

At the beginning of the summer of 302 BC, the first large-scale southern expansion in Chinese history began!

According to the agreement between Xiong Wuliang and the nobles, the nobles formed hundreds of pioneer groups with their families as units. However, Quyang Hou Xiong Wuliang did not interfere too much in their actions, but only set a time for everyone to set off in unison, and asked the pioneer groups to 'watch and help each other'.

For such a request, the pioneer groups naturally gladly accepted.

After some 'iterations' of the Tui En Order, as well as rounds of reductions in Qu Yuan's new law, the forces that can be mobilized in the hands of the nobles are actually much lower than before - for example, in terms of private soldiers, the nobles (except for the Marquis of Quyang) have been strictly limited by the new law, and the upper limit of having private soldiers is only a hundred at most.

Slaves and servants of the clan...... They were also released as free men in large numbers by the new law, preventing the nobles from taking advantage of the loopholes of the new law.

As a result, the nobles are seriously understaffed!

But fortunately, these aristocratic families have a big business, and the emaciated camels are bigger than horses - although the fiscal and tax rights have almost been cut clean, after all, there are hundreds of years of savings in the treasury, and they are quite rich in financial and material resources.

Therefore, the so-called 'shortage of manpower' is no longer a problem.

The aristocrats did not hesitate to pay a lot of money! Hired rangers, weary people, prodigals, doormen, absconding criminals...... A notorious but very large number of pioneer regiments were formed.

In the first round of pioneering, a total of 532 nobles made a move!

The total number of people is as many as more than 30,000!

After Xiong Wuliang got the news, his face blossomed......
