Jinyun Lao Dao did not come alone, and he was accompanied by three burly men who were old, middle, and young.

"King, these three are the protectors of the Dharma in our door, and today they were recruited by the king and came to serve in the court."

In the palace, Jinyun pointed to the three people who followed behind him and introduced to Lu Yuan.

As his words fell, the three people behind also took a step forward and saluted Lu Yuan.

"Cool ......"

"Cold Tiger ......"

"Hanhua ......"

The three of them each reported their names, and then bowed down together: "Meet the King of Chu." ”

As a few people bowed down, Lu Yuan's eyes fell, and he secretly looked at them.

These three people are all surnamed Han, and I don't know if this is a name inheritance unique to Feishuang Dao.

However, their aura has indeed reached the innate level, but compared to ordinary martial arts masters, their aura is a little more ethereal, and they look more like Taoists than martial artists.

Just thinking about the identities of these three people as the Immortal Gate Protector General, this difference can be understood.

It is probably the unique difference between the Xianmen martial arts and the ordinary martial arts in the outside world.

Lu Yuan didn't care too much about this.

No matter what difference they have from ordinary martial arts masters, as long as they have this strength.

What he needs is innate first-level combat power, so he doesn't care whether this innate cultivation is a martial art, an immortal method, or a mixture of immortal and martial arts.

Therefore, after seeing the three of them saluting, he couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and said: "A few Dharma protectors, please hurry up, now my Da Chu is about to establish a meritorious career, it is the time to seek talents and heroes to use force."

Everyone is willing to enter my Chu country, and Lone is overjoyed. ”

Lu Yuan expressed his joy, then looked at the circle below, thought for a while, and said: "According to the convention, anyone who enters my Chu State can be crowned with the position of protecting the country.

Since several people are from the Taoist Sect and practice martial arts, they will be canonized as the protector of the country according to the past practice, and they will be listed in the first grade. ”

The Protector General is the title of Protector specially prepared by Lu Yuan for those Jianghu warriors.

At this point, in the state of Chu, the clone that belonged to half a monk refined by him was exclusively the title of the real person who protected the country.

Of course, if there are other monks who practice immortal law to vote, they can also enjoy this real name.

However, at this juncture of the Ascending Realm, all the monks who want to come to Kyushu, as long as they have the conditions, should choose to ascend.

In the end, there was not a single monk who could stay, but there was only one in a hundred.

Therefore, this title should only belong to Lu Yuan's clone from now on.

In addition to the real people, among the monks who come to vote, the monks from the Buddhist sect have the exclusive title of protector.

Originally, the name of the protector was the name of Ji Hui of Baifeng Temple, but with the death of this holy monk, this name was also empty.

Lu Yuan had already decided that except for the Buddhist monks, other ordinary martial artists, even if they came from the Buddhist Sect, would no longer give this number.

From then on, real mages were exclusive to monks in the Chu State.

The rest of the innate masters who practiced martial arts were specially given the title of protector god to distinguish them.

However, the above is only a preliminary idea, whether to implement it in the future, or if something changes in the implementation process, he will also be flexible.

Nothing lasts forever.

"Thank you for the reward."

After receiving the seal, the three Dharma Protector Divine Generals, who had already passed through the sect, bowed down again and thanked him.

Seeing this, Jinyun next to him couldn't help nodding slightly.

He had studied the state of Chu.

Therefore, I know that in the Chu State, the innate first-level characters, except for the ones cultivated by the Chu State itself, basically take the road of protecting the country and being titled.

For example, the two real people who are now leading troops to attack Hanzhong County are both monks, and in terms of strength, they are comparable to the martial artists of the Innate Second Realm, and they are not inferior to Jinyun himself at all.

But this kind of character is still just a real person who leads the country.

In terms of level, it is the same as the three sect protector generals he brought, and the protector gods he received, but he can't just take the first grade.

If you look at it from this point of view.

The three Dharma Protector Divine Generals who took refuge in the Chu State in the door will definitely not be bad in the future.

Even if he passes the test and can gain trust, he can theoretically lead more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight outside the country just like those two real people who protect the country.

This is undoubtedly a high power for a country.

If this can really be done, then relying on the three protector generals, as well as the power they hold, it is enough to protect the development of the sect in the Chu State.

'However, the two Dharma protectors of the Chu State have never heard of a reputation before, could it be that they are the same as the King of Chu, who got the legacy of their ancestors from somewhere, and was lucky enough to cultivate the scattered cultivation of mana?

If that's the case, you might be able to go and woo it.

It's just that after they were born, they were in a hurry to take refuge in the Chu State, chasing Ronghua and wealth, most of them were not people who could cultivate with peace of mind, and it would be difficult to become a climate in the future. ’

Jinyun secretly calculated in his heart.

Although it has reached an alliance with the Chu State, it is impossible for the interests and needs of the Feishuang Dao and the Chu State to be completely identical, and this old way has already figured out how to dig the corner of the Chu State.

It's not that he deliberately targeted the Chu State, but the main thing is that this time he ascended to the Immortal Realm, which was too dangerous and abnormal.

Although the Northern Netherworld Formation can indeed be used, there is no news from the Ascended Beings of the past dynasties, and the pressure brought to future generations is unimaginable.

No one knows, after ascending to the immortal realm, will there be any unpredictable risks?

Therefore, this last group of Kyushu monks undoubtedly chose the practices of the predecessors of the immortals, accumulating the strength of their side as much as possible, and then flying to the immortal realm.

It's just that now in the world of the end of the law, the aura is exhausted, and it is impossible to improve one's strength by cultivation.

Therefore, for the Kyushu monks who are preparing to ascend, the best way to enhance their strength is to pull more fellow Daoists to ascend so as to enhance the strength of their camp.

In this way, if there is really any danger in the fairy world, there are people who can help share and resist.

Even if you think darkly, if you are alone, when you encounter force majeure, you can have one more person to attract firepower, so as to give yourself a chance to escape.

This represents the interests of all Kyushu monks.

Compared to this, although the Taoist system that remained in the Kyushu world was important, when it came to importance, it was still far less important than one's own interests.

And think about it from another angle.

If you can really kidnap the two real protectors of the Chu State, then if you lose the two innate combat power at once, the strength of the Chu State will definitely be greatly reduced.

At that time, in order to gain a foothold in the world, in order to fight against Ning Guo, he naturally had to rely further on the Flying Frost Dao.

Taking this opportunity, it is impossible to say that the sect can also reverse it, infiltrate and control the Chu State, and completely turn this country into its own puppet.

If it can really be done at this point, then the Flying Frost Dao can be regarded as being reborn from the ashes to educate the country.

Of course, the above is an ideal state, and Jinyun is not sure whether it can be done specifically.

didn't go over to test the two protectors of the Chu State, but he had already made up his mind to do it.

And for this matter, there is quite confidence.

Jinyun doesn't believe that compared to becoming an immortal and ascending to the immortal realm, can this worldly prosperity and wealth be more tempting?

After all, if you can really become an immortal and live forever, then all the wealth and wealth will be just a passing moment, and you will have a lot of time to enjoy it in the future.

There's no need to rush into the moment.

Thinking like this in his heart, Jinyun didn't show it, he looked at Lu Yuan in front of him, and he didn't feel embarrassed to face the future bitter lord at all, and said with a smile: "By the way, the king, my Taoist master will lead the core disciples of the sect to arrive in Chu State in the middle of next month, and the Taoist master hopes to meet with the king and talk about the cooperation between the two parties. ”

Is the main thing about Flying Frost Dao?

Lu Yuan naturally didn't know, Jinyun, the old guy, was playing bad water, and when he heard the other party's words at this time, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "This is naturally no problem." To be able to have a meeting with the Flying Frost Daoist is exactly what the king wants, and when the Daoist arrives, he can come straight to the palace and wait for him alone. ”

While speaking, Lu Yuan was thinking in his heart that after seeing the Flying Frost Dao Master, he might be able to learn more about the secrets of the world from the other party's mouth through conversation.

These sects, which have been inherited for thousands of years, have mastered many magical powers, not to mention.

Just recording 10,000 years of history is an unimaginable wealth.

If you can't get some from it, then you can get a glimpse of the historical context of tens of thousands of years from ancient times to the present.

If he can master this, then it will undoubtedly be much easier for him to explore the secrets of history in the future, or to activate the Northern Netherworld.

Of course.

For these, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry.

These Kyushu monks will soon soar to the top, and they won't be in this world for long.

In the future, as long as the world of Kyushu endures, it will belong to him alone after all.

At that time, in this peerless world, I had a lot of time to slowly dig and rummage for the opportunities left by the ancient monks.

Those Dao systems left behind by the Immortal Sect can't escape from their own palms.

In this regard, Lu Yuan has full confidence.

Because he didn't believe anyone could survive him.

……

After canonizing the protector of the Flying Frost Dao and setting a meeting with the Flying Frost Dao Lord in the middle of next month, Jinyun completed the task and left in a hurry.

He is also busy with the migration of the sect, and he has a lot of work to do.

And after entering the palace this time, he also made a temporary intention to want to be the corner of the country, and he also had to do this point.

Therefore, when I go back, I will select people and send them to Hanzhong to try to contact the two real people who protect the country.

A lot of chores, it's just busy.

Lu Yuan didn't know for the time being that someone was planning to pry the corner of his doppelganger.

It's even more unclear whether this person who wants to pry into the corner of the wall is still his ally who is now in the honeymoon period.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't have a seizure on the matter, and he would eventually hide it.

It's just that after these monks of the Flying Frost Dao ascended, and when the Chu State attacked the Ning State and gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou and Kyushu, it was indispensable to come to the wave to liquidate at that time.

How happy the Flying Frost Road is now, how crippled it will be when the general account is calculated in the future.

It's just that Jinyun, who is preparing to show his skills, is not clear about this.

It is impossible to know what kind of consequences his temporary intentions will bring to the sect in the future.

The connection between Lu Yuan and several clones is really well hidden.

In this world of the end of the law, even if many immortal sects know the art of Dao soldier refining, it is difficult for outsiders to associate him with the two clones.

After all, aura is rare.

All the monks cultivated by themselves, but they didn't think the aura was enough!

There are also a few who can be willing to give up precious spiritual qi and spiritual objects to consume on the external Dao technique of refining Dao soldiers.

And I don't know this details, and those who plan to start with the doppelganger and plan the Chu State are destined to make a big mistake in this regard.

Lu Yuan had already foreseen this when he was refining the clone, and he had been waiting for the fish to take the bait.

The only thing that is not clear is that I don't know who the first person to take the bait is?

He had been waiting.

……

After conquering Hanzhong, Lu Yuan issued an edict to reward meritorious soldiers, and then ruthlessly gave himself two doppelgangers and promoted a wave of titles.

On the bright side, the drama is full.

Anyway, they are all their own clones, and no matter how much they are rewarded, they are also left-handed to right-handed, and there is no difference at all.

However, through these generous rewards, it can also inspire a wave of morale in the army and inspire people.

For this kind of thing that benefits without expense, Lu Yuan is of course willing.

In addition to rewarding the army, Lu Yuan also issued an edict ordering the two forbidden armies originally stationed at Jianmen Pass, as well as a forbidden army from the Western Jin Dynasty in Xiangyang County, to stay in Hanzhong County as local garrisons.

At the same time, Huang Xuan was appointed as the governor of the three western counties, with jurisdiction over the three counties of Hanzhong, Xichuan and Hegu in the western part of the Chu State, and was thoroughly responsible for dealing with the affairs of the Zhou State and the Fan people.

On the domestic side, the Ministry of Officials has begun to draw out officials from all over the country and prepare to be sent to Hanzhong to take over the newly occupied land. The Ministry of Rites is also preparing for the Enke examination and preparing to select a new group of officials.

It is expected that by the end of the year, the gap of thousands of officials in Hanzhong County will be completely filled one after another, and the rule of Chu will be established.

In addition to the election of officials, Huang Xuan, who has taken over Hanzhong, has also begun to reorganize the captured Zhou soldiers and expand the soldiers and horses under his command.

According to the plan.

He will select the elite from the surrendered troops, recruit new soldiers in Hanzhong, and then create two new forbidden armies.

These two forbidden armies, together with the three forbidden armies remaining in Hanzhong County, will form the main defensive force in the northwest of the Chu State.

In this way, when the county government and county soldiers of Hanzhong County are established, then only one county in Hanzhong has 130,000 standing soldiers and horses, which can be described as a strong army.

Then there are Yangping Pass and Xiegu Pass, as a basis, and Huang Xuan, the clone of the innate second realm, even if the Zhou people send an army of 500,000 to attack, Hanzhong County can block it.

Even if the situation is urgent, there is still a forbidden army in Xichuan County, as well as the county soldiers of Xichuan and Hegu counties.

These people combined, there are more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, and they are also under the jurisdiction of Huang Xuan.

As long as you want, you can be transferred to Hanzhong County at any time.

So in an instant, Huang Xuan went from an ordinary local governor to the most powerful local official in Chu State in an instant.

Not only is he in charge of the three counties, but he also commands a total of nearly 200,000 standing soldiers and horses, and nearly half of the power of the Chu State is under his control.

For a time, many people who did not know the truth in the court and place of Chu were very worried about this.

Many people believe that handing over half of the country's territory to one person is really a risk of supporting the army and self-respecting, and one carelessness will lead to the division of the Chu State.

Many people wrote to Lu Yuan, asking for the edict to be withdrawn.

However, Lu Yuan basically ignored this.

Of course, he knows that half of the territory, one-third of the country's soldiers and horses, are handed over to one person, what is the risk?

But that's just what outsiders see.

As a doppelganger, handing over the three western counties of Chu to Huang Xuan is essentially just Lu Yuan's left hand to his right hand, and he is still in control.

Nowadays, this division is only made in order to save administrative efficiency and more effectively coordinate the manpower and material resources of the three western counties.

Of course.

In addition, Lu Yuan also has some fishing meanings.

He wanted to see if Huang Xuan's banner could be fished out from home or abroad if he could fish out some people who wanted to make a fuss about it.

If you can take the opportunity to clear some hidden dangers, it will be a good thing for the Chu State.

Therefore, even if the group below has a supper, Lu Yuan still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Even in the midst of the noise, he issued two more appointments.

One is to let the newly surrendered protector general Hanhua serve as the Xichuan defense envoy, responsible for assisting Huang Xuan and managing the defense of Xichuan and Hegu counties.

The other is also to let the protector general Han Liang, in addition to the defense envoy of Qianzhong, manage the defense of a county in Qianzhong.

Well, yes.

The originally scheduled head of Qianzhong, who was appointed by Qingyunzi, has changed again.

Because Ziyun Dao suddenly joined forces with Ning State, the border defense pressure on the eastern front of Chu State increased sharply, and the current defense line planning has been insufficient, and it must be strengthened.

Therefore, Qingyunzi's Qianzhong governor has been changed by Lu Yuan to the future Lingnan governor.

In the future, after conquering the Su State and the South China Sea State, Qingyunzi will lead the southern expeditionary army and guard the Lingnan land on the spot.

He himself was a general who led heavy troops and was stationed in Nanhai County, responsible for the first-line defense of the handover between Lingnan and Ningguo.

Even Xiangyang County in the north, considering the increasingly complex situation now, this northern gateway to the Chu State also needs to be strengthened.

Lu Yuan had already made the three forbidden armies transferred from Dongting County during the Northern Expedition stationed here.

In this way, counting the remaining two forbidden armies in the county, Xiangyang County also has five forbidden armies with 100,000 soldiers, and counting the local county government and county soldiers, there are almost 120,000 soldiers and horses.

With such a heavy garrison, when Lu Yuan planned to make a move against Ning Guo in the future, he asked Zhou Qing to lead these soldiers and horses to attack the three eastern provinces of Xiangyang County, which were under the control of Ning State.

These three prefectures are located north of the Yangtze River and south of the Han River, just like a dagger, fiercely inserted into the heart of the Chu State.

From the east of the three provinces to the south, crossing the river is the capital of the Chu State, Baling, which seriously threatens the security of the Chu State.

In such a critical place, of course Lu Yuan had to take it into his own hands.

And after capturing the Eastern Three Mansions, the defense line of the eastern border of the Chu State can also extend a hundred miles to the east, and at the turn of the Yangtze River in the Eastern Three Provinces, a dangerous place called Xiakou, a defense line was set up to block the Ningguo Naval Division outside Dongting County.

Taking this place, the water and land defense line around Baling can be regarded as completely perfected.

Only by laying down the three eastern prefectures of Xiangyang County can the Chu State have all the benefits of the Han River and share the Yangtze River natural risks with the Ning State.

In this way, there is Zhou Qing in Xiangyang County in the north, Lu Yuan in Dongting County, and Qingyunzi in Nanhai County in the south.
