After communicating with Sun Siwen and letting the other party continue to do it boldly, Lu Yuan returned to his mansion.

Now with the arrival of the imperial army, especially the arrival of the two innate grandmasters, the assassination of the Holy Maiden of the Five Poisons Sect, which had been hanging over his head and had been worried, could finally not be so worried.

The Zhou and Miao coalition forces have two innate grandmasters, and there are also two innate grandmasters on the imperial court's side.

Lu Yuan finally didn't have to shrink into the barracks every day, and lived as an ascetic.

After half a month of traveling, he was also a little tired, so after returning home, he let the maid take a bath, then shrank into the quilt and slept beautifully.

In the early morning of the next day, as I used to do, I asked Lu Yuan to get up on time, and then after a little washing, he practiced the palm technique.

Although now that he is about to break through the innate nature, he even has to start cultivating the immortal method.

But Lu Yuan's martial arts moves did not fall behind.

The palm technique that should be practiced will still be practiced, and in the Chiyang Divine Skill, the swordsmanship and fingering techniques included in it have also begun to try to contact.

However, the time is short, and if you want to practice these martial arts moves, it will be impossible in less than ten years.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry.

As long as you can break through the innate and press it with a strong martial arts true intent at that time, for those under the innate world, it is crushing, and you can't use moves at all.

As for what about being congenital?

This Lu Yuan felt that with his steady nature, even if he broke through the innate nature, there was a high probability that he would not take the initiative to fight against a master of the same level.

What's the good of fighting and killing, if you are not careful, it is easy to lose your life.

In contrast, he prefers to sit in the army, drive the army to attack and kill the enemy, and let others do their best, while he sits in the rear, waiting for the result in peace.

Innate cultivation, with Lu Yuan's thoughts, this is more of a deterrent, like a nuclear bomb.

Don't care if you can play it or not, at least I have it, then I have the qualifications to sit with other innate people and negotiate.

Regardless of what other people do, anyway, here in Lu Yuan, innate force is more symbolic than practical.

Either he doesn't make a move, and as soon as he makes a move, he needs to make a final decision, so that he won't engage in a big battle with someone for 300 rounds.

"Well, there is also the Taiping Daoshu. After breaking through the innate nature, you can try to cultivate.

At that time, on the surface, I am an innate martial artist, but secretly I am an immortal cultivator.

The combination of martial arts and immortal law, I can't say what kind of immortal martial arts can be created?

If someone else doesn't know my bottom and ventures to fight me, he will definitely suffer a big loss and leave his life for me. ”

Lu Yuan thought of the scene that was very likely to occur in the future, and couldn't help but laugh.

As a steady person, this method of keeping an extra hand in everything and secretly being a yin person is the most suitable for him.

There is always such a thing as hole cards, the more the better, and there is never too little.

That's it.

Even if he will soon have the innate martial arts true intent and the immortal family exercises, Lu Yuan does not despise the martial arts moves, but is still practicing hard.

After all, life is impermanent, and the situation is changing.

No one knows if the more one-handed martial arts practiced at this time will play a big role in the future?

For the sake of conservatism, it's always right to practice a little more when you have time.

After practicing the palm technique for an hour, rinsing himself, changing into clean clothes, and having a hearty breakfast, Lu Yuan went out to the military camp outside the city.

After leaving for a long time, he handed over the 20,000 army to his disciple Li Liang and ordered him to be responsible for training new soldiers and reorganizing armaments.

At this time, I came back and was about to move my troops, so I naturally had to take a good look at what the effect was.

……

Barrack.

The sound of call signs continued, the military drums beat from time to time, and then the flags were waved, and the soldiers who had formed a formation on the school field slowly changed their formations with the drums and flags.

Lu Yuan stood on the platform, looking at the army that was changing formations below, with a serious expression.

It can be seen that for the soldiers at this time, it is still very difficult to change the formation, even if it is just a simple turn left and right, changing the formation, it is very difficult to do.

At this time, you can see some soldiers with poor foundations, who fall behind the team as they change, and then collide with others, causing chaos.

However, in general, relying on the foundation of the original 5,000 veterans, it is still possible to maintain a certain formation.

"Master, the disciple practices diligently every day, one small exercise a day, and one big exercise every three days. After two months, there is no problem with walking in the array, but the technique of changing the military formation is still a little worse. Next to him, Li Liang, who had been in charge of leading the troops for the past two months, looked at the chaotic military formations that occurred from time to time below, and said with a little apprehension.

Lu Yuan handed over the army drill to him, which was valued and trusted.

But now that Shizun has come back to inspect the army, it is such an achievement, and it is undoubtedly a loss of points.

"It's already pretty good."

Lu Yuan turned his head, looked at his disciple's slightly apprehensive expression, and said with a smile: "The new soldiers in the army have only been recruited for two months, and they can understand the array and understand the banner and order, and they are already a little bit weathered.

After practicing like this for another half a year, you can be pulled to the battlefield and fight in array with the enemy.

I handed over the army to you for training, and I really didn't see the wrong person as a teacher. ”

Lu Yuan has led troops for several years, and he is not a person who does not understand military affairs.

In order to train 15,000 veterans, he stayed in the barracks every day and supervised the training at all times. Even the training in the back was not enough, and he went outside to fight for half a year, which led to the glorious results of quelling the Qixingmen rebellion in March.

It is precisely because of this experience that he knows that it takes a lot of energy and time to train good soldiers and elite soldiers who can fight in formation and meet the enemy without defeat.

It cannot be achieved without a lot of hard work and money investment.

At this time, Li Liang was able to achieve his current results in two months, and he could already be called a person who was good at military training.

For this disciple, Lu Yuan didn't have time to appreciate it, how could he blame it.

"These are all high-quality soldiers recruited by the master, and with the assistance of many brothers and sisters in the battalion, this achievement can be achieved, and the disciples dare not take credit." In the face of the master's praise, although Li Liangxin was happy, his face was humble.

"It doesn't have to be this way, it's your credit, it's yours. Can you still treat your own disciples badly as a teacher? ”

Lu Yuan said a word to his disciple, and then said: "You have made meritorious military training, and you must not be rewarded." I have a martial art here, you can copy it and learn it, and then return the original to me afterwards, it will be counted as a reward for you. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yuan took out the Chiyang Divine Skill he had prepared in advance and handed it to his disciple.

The Red Sun Divine Skill that was taken out only had the first seven layers, and the last two layers were deleted, and there was only one matching move for swordsmanship.

But even so, this deleted version of the Chiyang Divine Skill can also be cultivated to the second Wonder Sutra, counting the supporting swordsmanship, it is already a first-class martial art that is not weak in the rivers and lakes.

"Thank you for the teachings."

Li Liang looked at the martial arts handed over, and when he saw the four big characters of Chiyang Divine Skill on it, his body trembled.

As one of the few registered disciples who were closer to Lu Yuan and Zhou Qing, of course he knew that his master and senior brother were majoring in this Chiyang Divine Skill.

"At this time, the master gave me this merit, could it be that he plans to accept me as a true disciple?"

Li Liang thought of this in his heart, and the excitement was almost impossible to hide.

God knows how embarrassed and difficult it was for these registered disciples to face Lu Yuan and Zhou Qing.

Let's see what kind of treatment is the genuine disciple Zhou Qing?

Look at yourself, what kind of treatment are these people?

is nominally a disciple, but in fact he is undoubtedly with his subordinates, and he is not his own person at all.

Lu Yuan's dozens of registered disciples, not to mention how much he envied Zhou Qing and how much he wanted to become a true disciple.

Is the dream about to come true at this point?

Li Liang trembled his hands, took over the Chiyang Divine Skill, and said with a slight trembling tone: "Master rest assured, after the disciple goes back, he will immediately copy the secret book, and he will return the Divine Skill tomorrow." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, copy it slowly, and don't pass on the exercises."

As for the thoughts in the hearts of his disciples, Lu Yuan, as a master, was naturally very clear, and smiled at this time: "After you finish copying the exercises, remember to practice diligently. If you can break through the first-class realm, you will be accepted as a teacher and listed as a true biography. ”

After getting the Taiping Taoist Book, Lu Yuan knew that his idea of wanting to develop obscene was basically impossible.

But even so, it doesn't mean that he has to be tough.

Cultivate more disciples, let them become talents, and then give yourself this teacher to work hard in the world, isn't this much stronger than fighting alone?

And the Chiyang Divine Skill, for Lu Yuan, who was about to break through the innate and cultivate the immortal method, was no longer the most core exercise cheat.

At this time, you can take it out and reward your disciples and use it to improve their strength, just like the previous Flowing Cloud Palm and Qi Replenishing Heart Sutra.

At present, there is only one first-class disciple of Zhou Qing, and the number is still too poor.

If he could cultivate a few more first-class disciples, so that they had the strength to take charge of their own affairs, Lu Yuan could even let go of the conquest.

Just let these disciples work for the teacher, and let them each lead the troops out to fight.

Therefore, Lu Yuan followed the imperial court's Ten Grandmaster Plan, and also planned to engage in a Ten Disciple Plan.

Cultivating ten disciples with first-class strength, and then cultivating 100,000 soldiers, such a disciple can lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he can touch them in the face of the innate grandmaster.

And with such a foundation, even if Lu Yuan wants to take all one county, it is no longer an illusion.

After all, ten first-class masters and 100,000 soldiers and horses are here, which is enough to be worth two or three innate grandmasters.

Counting Lu Yuan's own strength, as long as he rebelled without knowing his face, then even if Dongting County was divided, the imperial court would have to pinch his nose and recognize it.

"And I can also expand while contacting the Jianghu Grandmasters who have been attracted by other imperial courts, and cooperate with the alliance. At that time, several parties will join forces, and the localities will protect each other, no matter how dissatisfied the court is, it will have to swallow this breath for me. ”

In the plan with the top ten grandmasters, several other Jianghu grandmasters, joining forces vertically and horizontally, is a method that Lu Yuan has come up with these days.

Compared with those grandmasters with six surnames and seven clans in the imperial court, Lu Yuan and those grandmasters of the rivers and lakes are obviously not the same as these family grandmasters.

At this time, even if they are temporarily united, it is only for the sake of interests, and there is no friendship at all.

And since it is for the sake of interests, then the benefits given by the imperial court are interests. The interests that these Jianghu Grandmasters want to fight for are also interests.

In the land of the nine counties of Dayue, why should Lu Yuan give these people two counties?

Among the top ten grandmaster plans, there are four Jianghu grandmasters, accounting for forty percent of the power. And this kind of strength, but only two counties can be obtained, and they are all broken.

This distribution scheme is obviously unreasonable.

You must know that in rich places like Yuzhang County and Linhai County, almost one county is worth three poor counties.

Therefore, the imperial court seems to have divided into two counties, but in fact, the number of people who may lose money and food is less than one-tenth of the total, and it is not trivial at all.

Lu Yuan felt that in the nine counties of Dayue, the four of them could occupy one county by themselves. On the side of the imperial court, just guard the five counties that are the most core and wealthy.

That's fair.

Of course, the above are only Lu Yuan's temporary thoughts. Whether it can be done in the end, whether it can be done or not, depends on the change of the situation.

The world is impermanent, and everything is uncertain.

At that moment, he didn't know what the outcome would be.

But even so, it didn't prevent Lu Yuan from slowly increasing his strength according to this plan.

Cultivating Li Liang at this time is like this.

And the effect......

"Master rest assured, the disciple will practice diligently, break through the first-class as soon as possible, and worship under the master." Li Liang got Lu Yuan's encouragement and promise, and knelt down on the spot, looking simply not too excited.

Breaking through the first-class, in fact, is not too difficult for Li Liang.

After all, now that he has practiced the eighth canon, he can break through the first-class if he has four more canons and one strange sutra left.

There are a total of five meridians, even if you don't use external forces, you can break through the first-class even if you only devote yourself to penance and practice for fifteen years.

In reality, this is clearly not possible.

Not to mention that Lu Yuan would give the Tonifying Spirit Pill or other Divine Blood Spirit Pill to the meritorious disciples from time to time to cultivate the strength of the disciples.

As far as Li Liang's disciples are concerned, in private, they will actually pay out of their own pockets to buy the Tonifying Pill with Zhou Qing to practice.

In these years, most of those who can practice martial arts are wealthy.

Although many of Lu Yuan's registered disciples were promoted from the bottom, they were not wealthy. But that doesn't mean there aren't any rich kids.

There are more than 40 registered disciples under his seat, half of whom are from poor families and the other half are from rich families.

And generally, the strength of disciples from rich families is better than that of poor families.

After all, people have practiced martial arts since childhood, they have a foundation, and they are willing to spend money to buy medicine and practice, and their cultivation is faster than that of their fellow disciples who have no money, which is normal.

Coincidentally, Li Liang belongs to the category of wealthy families.

Although his family is not a rich country, it can be regarded as a wealthy family.

took out three to five thousand taels of silver to buy medicine for Li Liang to practice, and it was still no problem. Counting some of Li Liang's own income, taking a bottle of tonic elixir every month is not unaffordable for him.

Compared with these investments, if you can break through the first-class and worship under the abyss, then everything is worth it.

A first-class master, and a congenital teacher, if you release this kind of identity, you are afraid that you won't be able to get the money back?

At this time, Li Liang had already decided that after he went back, he would persuade his parents at home to sell most of the family wealth and use it to buy tonic elixirs to help him practice.

The future of wealth is in front of him, if he doesn't fight at this time, he will definitely regret it in the future.

"You can have this ambition, I am very happy to be a teacher, and I am waiting for the day when you will become my second true disciple."

Lu Yuan liked Li Liang's attitude very much, and then continued: "After a while, I will continue to send people to recruit troops, and there should be 20,000 new soldiers in the camp by then."

The training of these people is also left to you.

I don't want you to practice well in a short period of time, as long as you can pull these people out and fight in a row within a year.

This can be done, right? ”

was poured into the previous meal of ecstasy soup, how could Li Liang say no at this time, and immediately set up a military order and said: "Master rest assured, the disciple can set up a military order, and if he does not train the soldiers for a year, he is willing to engage in military law." ”

Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "Then the matter is settled." ”

Then, he didn't continue to talk to Li Liang, turned his head, and looked at the military formation drill below.

……

After reading the army, Lu Yuan stayed in the barracks again.

Although there is no need to fear the threat of the innate grandmaster for the time being, the training of the army still cannot be put down.

Coupled with the role of a little steady, Lu Yuan still chose to stay in the barracks, staring at the training of recruits, and at the same time, it was more convenient to deal with military affairs, such as the expansion of the army.

The matter of expanding the army by 20,000 is related to Lu Yuan's next strategic planning, so on the second day after he returned to the camp, he had already arranged for people to go to other places to recruit troops.

However, now that Dayue is fighting every year, the soldiers in various places have long been recruited and exhausted. Even if you want to recruit qualified soldiers, it is also difficult.

In places like Linhai County and Yuzhang County, after hundreds of thousands of troops were recruited by the imperial court, there were not many qualified soldiers left.

And the few remaining people in Yuzhang County were also recruited back by the people sent by Lu Yuan earlier. According to the disciples who went to recruit soldiers at the beginning, there are no brave people in Yuzhang County.

Looking at this statement, you can imagine what the situation is over there.

And Dongting County is even worse than Yuzhang County.

Therefore, if he wanted to recruit troops, Lu Yuan had to go farther away.

He sent two groups of disciples to Jian'an County and Nanhai County respectively through Yuzhang County to recruit troops.

Jian'an County and Nanhai County, although they have also experienced war, have been pacified for three years.

After three years of recuperation, the vitality has recovered a lot, and the population preservation is quite perfect.

If you go to these two places to recruit troops, you can still gain a lot.

Even considering the future, Lu Yuan specially ordered. If there are more qualified soldiers in these two places, more can be recruited, and there is no need to limit the number of soldiers who die to 20,000.

Now in the troubled times, the population is getting smaller and smaller, and the elite soldiers are also fighting less and less. In the future, it will become more and more difficult to recruit qualified soldiers.

So if you don't take advantage of this time to recruit more people, you won't know where to recruit troops when you really want to recruit troops in the future.

As for recruiting more people, how to raise them?

"With soldiers and horses, are you still afraid that you won't have money to raise?"

Lu Yuan thought in his heart while writing his official document on the recruitment of General Pingxi, drying it and giving it to the waiting disciples below.

In troubled times, if there are soldiers, they can grab land and money. With the land money and food, it is natural that they can afford to raise soldiers.

It doesn't even matter if you can't grab it.

When grabbing land, the surplus soldiers and horses that cannot be raised are consumed, and the expenses are naturally small, and they can afford to raise them.

At the same time, in the conquest, we can also obtain a hundred battles elite soldiers through continuous wars and continuous survival of the fittest.

No matter what the result is, it is acceptable to Lu Yuan, and he will not lose money left and right, and he will not lose money.

It's logical, and there's nothing wrong with that.
