On the way to Nanerfeng, Gu Zuo asked Cheng Shanhu: "Have you found Tian Chao?"

Cheng Shanhu shook his head: "It's been more than ten days, and the corpses that can be identified have seen it, but there is no Tian Dynasty." ”

Tian Chao is the son of Tian Chengsi, the general of Hebei, and Tian Chengsi sent two groups of people to rescue him, but they were all silently blackened by Southern Wuzhou. At the last moment of the decisive battle with the beast tide that day, almost everyone in Nanwu Prefecture went to the battlefield, including of course Tian Chao, who was mining in the pits.

As early as when Gu Zuo had just come to his senses, he asked Cheng Shanhu and Liu Xuanji to find the whereabouts of Tian Chao, and what to do after finding Tian Chao, everyone didn't think about it, but at least they should give an explanation to the Hebei Army. It's just that so far no one has been lived, no corpse has been seen, and this is very difficult to do.

As he spoke, he arrived at the Lingyuan Daoist's Metaphysical Hall, where the formation mages left by the Huashan Xixuan Sect were repairing the last two virgin arrays, the three-element extreme true magic array was refined by them, how it should be repaired, they were very familiar with it, of course, Gu Zuo paid four thousand five hundred guan for this, and it was quite expensive to offset it with three thousand spirit stones.

There is no shortage of spirit stones in Nanwu Prefecture, but when the original Taoist chief negotiated with them, this spirit stone was divided equally over a period of three years, and 1,000 spirit stones were paid every year, hoping to inform all the sects in the world in this form that under the influence of the beast tide, the production of the veins of Nanwu Mountain had suffered serious damage. In fact, the repair cost of the 3,000 spirit stones also included a large number of probes and other mining equipment.

When Gu Zuo asked him if he could temporarily activate the Three-Yuan Extreme True Array, Kong Jindan kept shaking his head: "Forgive me, Master Gu, although the work has been done ninety percent, but the magic circle is one, even if it is only one point, even if it is barely opened, it will collapse after a while, and the entire large array will be abolished at that time." ”

Gu Zuo also practiced in the Nanhua School for two months, and knew that what they said was right, but he came with the hope of what happened, and after the hope was shattered, he did not reluctantly leave the Metaphysical Museum.

The great monk of the Hebei army left Nanzhao in advance half a month ago, but the two generals Cui Qianyou and Yin Ziqi, who commanded the army, were there, and these two were great masters in the early Yuan Dynasty, and no one in Nanwu Prefecture could compete.

As for the strength of the Hebei Army, Cheng Shanhu, who joined the army as a military division, also knew a lot, and said at the moment: "The Hebei military town is different from the imperial court's economic system, such as the forbidden army, a team of 50 people, a capital of 100 people, a battalion of 300 or 500 people, but the Hebei army is different, the imperial court is not allowed to give them a small number of establishments, but they are very abundant in terms of troops, not mainly battalions, but capital-oriented, often a capital of three or five hundred people, led by Jindan monks." Xia Guan has bothered to inquire these days, and the cavalry battalion that came to help this time is divided into five capitals, five Jin Dan, and the one we arrested does not know which capital it is. ”

Gu Zuo frowned, there were two Yuan Babies and five Jin Dan in the two thousand cavalry army, compared to the three thousand people in the forbidden army, there was only one Yuan Ying in Chen Xuanli, and the remaining Zhonglang generals were only Jin Dan. If the Hebei army only has two thousand people, even if there are ten Jindan, it is reasonable, but as far as he knows, the Hebei army has at least more than 100,000 people, if this is the case, then the Jindan monks will reach a terrifying five hundred, which is more than the ten authentic sects in the world combined.

Since he heard about the name of the Hebei Army, Gu Zuo has paid attention to this border army, but once he came to this world, he has already changed beyond recognition, there is Chongxuan, there are so many authentic people in the world, he doesn't think An Lushan can do anything, but after coming to this inference, he couldn't help but take a breath.

"How can it be so strong?" Gu Zuo asked.

Cheng Shanhu said: "I inquired with some generals of the forbidden army, and they said that this time the beast tide swept the Central Plains, many sects were broken, and many monks were recruited by the Hebei army. ”

Gu Zuo is now not afraid of the Hebei army left in Southern Wuzhou, but he is afraid of the two Yuan Infants, since the Three-Yuan Extreme True Array cannot be activated, it seems that he can only rely on the Liangyi Sword Light Array and the Red Refining Fire Cloud Array.

Not long after, more than fifty foundation building monks from the four emergency teams arrived first, and Gu Zuo reorganized it and reduced it to three teams, which were temporarily led by the senior brothers of the Shendanlou, Zhuo Youxing, Zhang Mowen and Yang Sanfa, and stayed by his side.

After an hour, the middle battalion of the Southern Wu Army was also completed, followed by the four battalions on the left and right and the front and rear and the Shendandu. The front and rear battalions and the Shendan had already fallen to the shelf, Gu Zuo simply merged them into the left and right battalions, and transferred 200 people from the middle battalion to supplement them, bringing the left and right battalions to 300 people.

This is the new structure of the Southern Wu Army: 300 people in each of the three battalions on the left, center and right, and more than 50 people in the emergency rescue team, totaling more than 900 people. After dealing with the Hebei Army, the emergency rescue team will be transferred to the command of the Law Department to enrich the Law Division.

Such a force composed of pure monks should be unique in the world, and the combat power is definitely needless to mention, but the cost of military salaries is also the only one in the world. According to Gu Zuo's rough calculation, the annual payment of spirit stones should be around 40,000.

In addition, there is also a Huaixian battalion, this Huaixian battalion of 400 people is not under the jurisdiction of the military division, and is directly under the Huaixian Pavilion, because they are originally disciples of the Huaixian Pavilion. In the future, Gu Zuo would expand the Huaixian Camp to five hundred people, leaving them with a budget of forty thousand spirit stones per year.

Coupled with the number of spirit stones paid to the personnel of the six divisions, the total annual expenditure is almost about 90,000 spirit stones, which is roughly the same as the number of Huaixian Pavilion's share of the spirit stone veins.

Therefore, developing Nanwu Prefecture well and obtaining other sources of income is the direction that Gu Zuo is committed to in the next step.

These are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.

It took two hours to complete the preliminary reorganization of the Southern Wu Army, and the sky gradually darkened, and the sentinels sent to the northeast rushed back to inform Gu Zuo of the movements of the Hebei Army.

"I told you that the Hebei Army has not moved. ”

"What about Wang Jindan and Commissioner Qiu?"

"Still staring over there, warning if there is a change. ”

Gu Zuo breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Cheng Shanhu: "Let everyone eat." ”

In the middle of the night, the butcher and Cheng Shanhu presided over the Liangyi Sword Light Array and the Red Refining Fire Cloud Array respectively, tense their nerves at any time to guard against the surprise attack of the two Yuan Babies of the Hebei Army.

There was nothing to do all night, and when the day rose from the South Four Peaks, the smile of the little lady Chaoyun also appeared in the red glow of the sky - this was a warning signal from Qiu Dabo, who was monitoring the Hebei Army.

The Hebei Army was dispatched.

After a short time, Qiu Dabo flew back to Nanerfeng with a scarf, and said as soon as he landed: "The whole army of the Hebei Army has been dispatched, and Cui Qianyou and Yin Ziqi are in command of the army. ”

Cheng Shanhu hurriedly asked, "Which way did you go?"

Qiu Dabo said: "Just out of the camp, it hasn't been separated yet, Brother Qingming is still watching, and he will be able to see it clearly in a while." ”

Cheng Shanhu arched his hand: "There is Brother Lao Dabo." ”

After Qiu Dabo finished speaking, he flew back with a scarf and continued to keep an eye on the movements of the Hebei Army.

Half an hour later, Qiu Dabo and Wang Jindan returned at the same time, and the exact news they brought was that the Hebei army had taken the northern road.

Gu Zuo nodded at Cheng Shanhu, and Cheng Shanhu immediately ordered: "The whole army goes down the mountain!"
