Zhao Hongming restrained his mind and constantly adjusted his breathing, sitting posture and mood in order to better enter the cultivation state.

After two months of his cultivation, the Thunder Destruction Law Body had reached the level of the Innate Sixth Grade.

According to the current progress of his cultivation, in just over three months, he will be able to cultivate the Thunder Destruction Law Body to the Martial Courage Realm.

When he arrived at the Martial Courage Realm, he could initially try the method of controlling thunder.

This is the power of heaven and earth that can only be mastered in the ancient immortal law.

And before that, the Thunder True Intent cultivated by this Immortal Martial Arts Method needed to be assisted by the blood of the True Dragon and various precious medicinal materials in order to cultivate the Thunder True Intent enough to be pure enough and strengthen the physical body enough so that he could better accommodate the power of the Thunder.

After refining all the wishing power in the wishing stone in his body, Zhao Hongming took out the blood of the true dragon and some precious medicinal materials from the practice room.

Zizizizi.

His naked upper body splattered into small, dense arcs of lightning lightning.

At this time, Zhao Hongming's mastery of the Thunder Destruction Law Body was already very proficient, and he was able to easily transform the true intent of the thunder into the power of the thunder, and release it instantly when attacking, making his attack power even more powerful.

The thunder light wrapped around him was like a silver snake, constantly swimming.

Suddenly, Zhao Hongming's eyes froze, and the porcelain bottle containing the blood of the true dragon on his body exploded.

The blood of the true dragon was spilled.

The thunder snake that roamed over him rushed out, enveloping the blood of the true dragon.

In an instant, the true dragon's blood shattered into countless tiny blood beads, turning into a suspended blood mist.

At the same time, the precious medicinal herbs on the ground also crumbled into tiny pieces at the same time, merging into the blood mist.

Zhao Hongming walked into the blood mist naked, his whole body was boiling, and under the urging of immortality, his body seemed to turn into a furnace, and the rolling heat wave gushed out of his body.

Those precious medicinal herbs began to exert their medicinal properties under the high temperature, refining the flesh and blood on him, and refining all the essence of the dragon's blood into it.

This situation lasted for half an hour, until the blood mist on his body completely faded away.

There is a long straight knife in the practice room, which is used by Zhao Hongming to practice the knife technique in the practice room, and it is a good knife that has been tempered thousands of times, and it is also very handy when using this knife to perform the [Open Heaven] martial arts.

After refining the blood of the true dragon, Zhao Hongming opened his eyes and pulled the long straight knife out of the scabbard.

Suddenly, he noticed that there was an electric arc beating on the blade.

Zhao Hongming was surprised, he held the knife with both hands, urging the true intent of the thunder to transform into the power of the thunder and surge onto the blade.

This time the urging was not a one-time move, but the long knife was treated as if it were his own limb, so that the power of thunder could circulate in it.

The power of thunder fits perfectly on the blade and becomes endless.

A crackling bolt of lightning appeared on the blade.

He felt the tyrannical sword intent on the knife body.

Zhao Hongming was silent.

He held the long knife and waved it lightly, and the Dao Dao thunder light changed with it, turning into a thunderbolt and slashing down.

Zhao Hongming withdrew part of his defense, let his hands touch the blade, and suddenly felt a sense of paralysis.

"This should be the ability after the optimization of [Heavenly Reward for Diligence]."

The ultimate goal of the entire exercise of the Thunder Destroying Law Body is to master the Brilliant Heavenly Thunder through cultivation, and in order to achieve this goal, the early stage focuses on the strengthening of flesh and blood.

Therefore, there is no clear supporting martial art, if there is one, it is the power of thunder that comes with the reinforcement process.

The five major realms of this Immortal Martial Arts, for the Thunder Destruction Law Body, the Open Pulse Realm and the Tongqi Realm are both introductory, and only when you reach the Innate Realm can you truly transform thunder.

"However, in more than three months, with many resources such as the Wish Stone, I have cultivated the Thunder Destruction Law Body to the level of the Innate Six Grades, and the speed is already very fast. But during this period of time, in order to improve this immortal martial arts, the focus of cultivation was on this martial arts, and the cultivation progress of other martial arts and immortal skills was lowered a lot. ”

Cultivating through the [Heavenly Dao Reward for Diligence] martial arts panel requires a lot of energy and time to achieve results.

However, Zhao Hongming's time in a day is absolute, and he will not spend a few more hours because of his hard work.

The progress point that is improved through diligent study and hard work every day almost falls within a fixed range.

If too much time was spent cultivating the Thunder Destruction Law Body, then the progress of the Eight Desolation Immortal Skills and other martial arts would be delayed.

After practicing too many exercises at the same time, it is almost inevitable that the progress will be shared.

But what is more gratifying is that while the Thunder Destroying Law Body cultivation will bring a bonus to the root bones, it can also make up for the loss of his energy sharing to a certain extent.

Zhao Hongming held the long knife in his hand and continued to use his knife skills.

Combined with the Thunder Power Long Knife, the sharpness has been raised to a new level.

The incomparably hard diamond rock was left with knife marks about an inch deep.

For such a result, Zhao Hongming is quite satisfied.

After many attempts, Zhao Hongming took a knife flower in his hand and put the knife into the sheath.

After a few arcs of electricity popped off the handle of the long knife, it calmed down.

The two true intentions in Zhao Hongming's body were rushing, making him continue to devote himself to intense training as if he was not tired.

A month later, the armaments from Daliang City were secretly sent to Ying County and to Zhao Hongming's hands.

Gao Yanshi stood beside Zhao Hongming, who had just finished his cultivation, and reported: "Your Highness, the 100,000 armaments sent by Your Majesty this time are currently piled up in the treasury, is Your Highness going to check it?" ”

"No need, let Zhang Yi and Wu Qi dock for a while." Zhao Hongming commanded: "Be sure to let the 30,000 Wei warriors be full of armor." ”

It turned out that the Wei Wushu trained by Wu Qi was only 1,000 people, and these 1,000 people had shown great organization and extraordinary combat effectiveness in some of their past operations.

Later a thousand expanded to three thousand.

But the number of people is still too small, and thousands of people are often at a disadvantage on a large-scale battlefield, especially when they are about to face the Zhao army next, even if the number of elites at this point cannot determine anything.

What's more, there are still many high-level martial artists in Zhao Guo's army.

Zhao Hongming, Wu Qi and others knew that if they wanted to gain a foothold on the border and deal with the menacing Zhao army, they had to expand the size of the army.

So, under his instruction, Wu Qi also began a series of recruitment activities, through the name of Mingjiao, to recruit martial artists within the ten cities of Ying County to expand the number of recruits.

Fortunately, a large number of martial arts forces in the south of Wei went bankrupt and followed several waves of displaced people to Yingjun.

There is no shortage of people.

In order to recruit troops smoothly, Wu Qi and Zhang Yi worked together to formulate an extremely detailed military merit system, with distinct ranks, covering from the first-class public scholar to the second-class Shangzao, all the way to the highest 20th level of Chehou.

As long as it is a soldier of Wei Wushu, no matter how big or small the position is, whether he is a nobleman, a commoner, or a slave, as long as he beheads the head of the enemy officer "A Shi", he can obtain the first-class title "Gongshi", and he can get Tian Yiqing.

The more enemies you kill, the more military merit you get, the higher your title, and the more rewards you get.

Until the Marquis of Che, who gets the highest title, he can use one county as a food town, get clothing, rent and food tax, and be hereditary for two generations.

What's more, if the merit is great enough, in addition to the title, it is also possible to obtain the [Killing Sutra], an immortal martial art.

With such a design, Zhao Hongming has measured, basically winning a battle, the junior official is promoted to one level, and the big official is promoted to the third level.

The resources he has now gathered, coupled with the support of Emperor Zhao Hongming of Jian'an, can afford it.

After comprehensive consideration, he adopted the military merit system formulated by the two.

Under such a policy, the treatment that can be obtained by joining the Wei Wushu can be compared to the first- and second-rate martial arts forces of the Wei State, and even better than many martial arts forces in some places.

As a result, a large number of martial artists who had nowhere to settle or had other ambitions wanted to get a better life and future by joining Wei Wushu.

After a period of recruitment and strict screening, the number of Wei Wushu has expanded to more than 20,000 people, and the set goal of 30,000 will be completed in some time.

Now that the armament of Daliang has been delivered as scheduled, Zhao Hongming almost did not hesitate to hand it over to Wu Qi and let them equip it as soon as possible.

Spring is coming soon, and there is not much time left for them.

Gao Yanshi bowed his head and turned around to convey Zhao Hongming's will downward.

At this time, Zhao Hongming seemed to think of something and said, "Wait a minute." ”

Gao Yanshi paused and said, "What else does Your Highness command?" ”

"You send someone to the king's treasury and give those pennant flags to General Wu, there are corresponding ways to use them, so that General Wu can use them well."

The way of the Wang family's formation is very exquisite, even if it is an ordinary martial artist, it can also produce some effects of four or two thousand catties.

The array flags collected from the Wang family's arsenal, plus some of them he refined when he cultivated the Formation Dao Sutra, there were quite a few of them, and it was really a bit of a waste to put them in the treasury.

Gao Yanshi nodded in response and didn't stay any longer.

Winter goes to spring, and everything recovers.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

According to the news from the border and the spies in Zhao, Li Mu of Zhao has not moved much, and is still in a state of assembling a large army.

At this pace, Li Mu will not attack this summer, and will not wait until after the autumn harvest.

There are still more than four months to go.

Although Li Mu had no intention of attacking, his intention to capture Yingjun was already very obvious at this time.

Freight between Ying River and Zhao has been suspended, and many unfamiliar faces have appeared in Luling City, and the law and order situation has deteriorated.

For a time, the entire Ying County was enveloped in a depressing, dull atmosphere.

Taicheng, the main account of the Eastern Army.

Pu Yuanqing, the lieutenant of Yingjun, has been staying in the Eastern Army since Feng Yi returned to the court, and even Yingjun rarely goes back.

As a martial artist of Sword Casting Villa, he was originally from the Eastern Army, and he became the county lieutenant of Ying County by coincidence.

In his opinion, he is a martial artist of the congenital nine grades, his strength is not low, and in this far-reaching place where the emperor is far away, the so-called position of the county lieutenant is just a nominal salary, anyway, if something goes wrong, he still has to rely on the Eastern Army.

There is not much difference between Yingjun and him.

He simply stayed in Taicheng, where the Eastern Army was located, most of the time, and even Zhao Hongming had been in the domain for half a year, and he did not show up.

After all, it is not too bizarre to patrol outside for half a year as a county lieutenant, and a hairy little prince is not worthy of his respect.

Their Sword Forging Villa was indeed an unpopular martial arts force at the beginning, but now it is not what it used to be, and he has this confidence.

"What kind of wind is it today, Captain Pujun doesn't go to practice martial arts, and he doesn't discuss the principles of life with the girls who are moist, why do you have time to come to my small place?"

Outside the tent, a burly man in armor walked in.

He was seven feet tall, had a long beard, looked to be fifty or sixty years old, and was the chief general of the Eastern Army, Lu Zonghui.

"General Lu, don't come unharmed." Pu Yuanqing got up and hugged his fists and said, "It's been a long time, let's take a look at the old general." ”

Lu Zonghui sat on the main seat, took off his helmet and said, "Captain Pujun doesn't need to go around these passes with me, let's say, what is the main purpose?" ”

Pu Yuanqing complimented: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the general's eyes, I don't know if the general has heard about Zhao Guo's current movements?" ”

"Is it about Li Mu's transfer of troops?"

"Exactly."

The general of the Eastern Army raised his head and said, "What, there is a change?" ”

"Hehe, I don't know what the general thinks about this matter?"

"What can you think, as always, the armament is. Da Liang's side had already learned of Zhao Guo's movements for the first time, and had already ordered me to prepare the army and defend it together with King Wu. At the moment I have 120,000 men in my hands, which is enough to defend. ”

"I have a big gift here for the general, I don't know if the general will accept it?"

"What gift?"

Pu Yuanqing said mysteriously: "100,000 soldiers." ”

Lu Zonghui's face was moved: "Captain Pujun, please elaborate." ”

"This is also something I learned about by accident in the Sword Forge Villa, and I think I have no deep relationship with the general, so I have come to tell the general." Pu Yuanqing said step by step: "Do you know, what is Zhao Guo's main goal this time? ”

The general of the Eastern Army said without thinking: "Yingjun." ”

"Does Ying County have the interests of a general?"

Lu Zonghui, the general of the Eastern Army, reacted and said, "Do you want me to ignore the life or death of Yingjun and let the Zhao army go?" I am afraid that this will cause criticism and give other martial arts forces a pretext. I don't know what this Ying County has to do with 100,000 soldiers? ”

"Definitely. I want the general to use this to negotiate terms with Emperor Jian'an. ”

"Oh?"

"The general is not above the temple, and Emperor Jian'an secretly prepared 100,000 soldiers and armor to give to King Wu in Ying County, and this is still given in the name of the Eastern Army."

"Is that true?"

"Many of these weapons flowed out of our Sword Forge Villa, can we still not know?"

This time, Pu Yuanqing was also entrusted by the sect, and he looked forward to taking this opportunity to make the Eastern Army, which was still swaying, completely fall to them, so he had to come here to act as a lobbyist.

Hearing this, the general of the Eastern Army became a little suspicious.

"I think the general should negotiate the conditions with Emperor Jian'an before the Zhao State attacks. Before that, you can stand by and wait for Emperor Jian'an to agree to the general's request before making a decision. Pu Yuanqing hit the railway while it was hot: "For example, if you give King Wu 100,000 soldiers, this is originally a general's, and it is not too much to let Emperor Jian'an give it to the general, right?" ”

"Let me think about it again."

"There's no hurry, it's still early." Pu Yuanqing knew that the general of the Eastern Army did not have much information in his hands, so he simply stopped and said: "Alas, I also specially told the general for the sake of our good friendship, the general must think about it, and I am also for the good of the general." ”
