In the big tent of Guanquanzhou, Wang Zixuan and Wu Yong sat opposite each other.

"It seems that Tiannian is going well on his side. Wang Zixuan said.

"For the Lin Pavilion Lord, it is only a matter of time before he wants to break through the three passes and six stops of the Chu State, and the only problem is the last of the three levels. ”

"Judging from the current power of Confucianism in the Chu State, if Confucianism is willing to help the Lin Pavilion Master, then Gujiaguan will not be a problem at all. ”

Wu Yongwei analyzed the difficulties faced by Lin Zheng in detail for Wang Zixuan.

"Confucianism has an appointment with Tiannian in advance, and if Tiannian attacks the Chu State, Confucianism must do its best to help. Wang Zixuan said.

"The question is whether Confucianism is still willing to help the Lord of the Lin Pavilion after having the power it has now. Wu Yong said.

"Don't worry. Wang Zixuan heard the sound of the battle horn at Bianguan, and said as he stood up: "Let Tiannian deal with it himself, he has this ability." ”

"How is the news of Guanquan and Feng Ming?" Wang Zixuan asked Wu Yong.

"In the Shang Dynasty, there was a huge storm, and many unidentified people have entered Guanquan recently. Wu Yong nodded, as long as it was related to Feng, it was easy to roll up a huge storm in the mall.

"The matter of the phoenix life spirit can be leaked to the Shang Dynasty, remember to bring the news that the Zhou Dynasty is ready to use heavy troops to pacify the Western Regions. ”

"Will the Shang Dynasty believe it?" Wu Yong was puzzled, how rough the strategy of three hundred taels of silver in this place was, and it was far from the strategy that Wang Zixuan usually used.

"They're coming. Wang Zixuan smiled treacherously and walked out of the big tent with the Great Wind Sword.

Wu Yong nodded, and watched Wang Zixuan wear a good battle armor and walk out of the big tent, remembering Wang Zixuan's treacherous smile Wu suddenly realized in his heart, it turned out that this was a yang conspiracy used by Wang Zixuan against the Shang Dynasty, and the Shang Dynasty had been chasing the spirit of the phoenix for many years, and he would come back to Guanquan to investigate no matter what.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong sighed secretly, the pavilion master of his own family was thinking jumping, and he was not much more clever than his own stubborn thoughts.

"It's the hardest thing to tell if it's true or what's false. ”

Wu Yong sighed in praise and silently got up to handle the matter.

On the other side, Shen Yueting came to Sizhou next door with 3,000 people to recruit troops, and the city lord of Sizhou had already been surprised by this, and came forward to ask Shen Yueting to recruit troops after a few polite words.

However, Shen Yueting waited for many days and didn't see many people to register, so he had to order his subordinates to set up a stall in the city. In less than half a day, nearly 1,000 people had been recruited, and the city lord of Yunzhou City came to the barracks to discuss with Shen Yueting.

"Brother Shen. "The city lord of Sizhou City is a middle-aged man who looks shrewd and capable.

When the man entered the big tent, he chatted with Shen Yueting enthusiastically.

"City Lord Han. Shen Yueting hugged his fists and smiled: "Sit." ”

"What is the reason why City Lord Han is here with me?" asked Shen Yueting with a smile.

"I marched in the city today, and I found that there were more soldiers recruiting in the city, causing residents to gather in groups, which affected the order in the city......," Han City Lord said with a tactful look in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Lord Han, I will take people away in a few days, and it won't affect for too long. Shen Yueting said with a smile.

"Commander Shen misunderstood what I meant, what I meant was not that I couldn't set up stalls in the city, but that I needed to pay the stall money. Lord Han Cheng saw that Shen Yueting didn't understand, so he spoke more bluntly.

"Stalls money?" Shen Yueting was stunned when he heard this, and then understood that the city lord of Han was asking for a bribe from him.

In the past, Shen Yueting would definitely tie up this city lord, but the next time he came to recruit troops, wouldn't he run further?

Shen Yueting remembered all the things he had committed because of his impulsiveness, and said with a smile patiently: "Don't worry, Lord Han, this recruitment is for the Chu defense line, and when I bring people back, I will naturally have money to send them." ”

"Then I'll wait for Brother Shen's good news. The Han City Lord laughed and turned to leave.

Shen Yueting looked at the back of the Han City Lord, and wondered in his heart that he was not worried that he would not send the money, and then Shen Yueting seemed to feel the law of the operation of this world and laughed at himself: "After all, I still have to come here to recruit troops next time." ”

"The Pavilion Master is not happy. Shen Yueting sat in the big tent and figured out what had happened.

In the Yunzhou City Barracks, Yan Liang officially took over the second battalion, that is, after Yan Liang took over, there were many slackness in the battalion.

Yan Liang stood on the high platform of the training ground, condescending to overlook the entire training ground, and in this way, he could see clearly who was training seriously and who was cheating and playing tricks.

Yan Liang found that the phenomenon of slackness mostly appeared in the squads, and rarely appeared in the squads, so Yan Liang knew what was going on in his heart, and after writing down these squads, he left the training ground.

On another large-scale training ground, Lin Zheng was sitting on a high platform and quietly watching the 150,000 people below waving their weapons at the wooden man, his eyes revealing a complicated feeling of satisfaction or disappointment.

"Your Excellency. Yan Liang appeared behind Lin Zheng with the roster.

"What's the matter?" Lin Zheng asked back.

"This is the roster of those who have slacked off training in the second battalion, most of the rosters are from the same squad, and the subordinates think that someone has taken the lead, as long as the leader is beheaded, the remaining soldiers will be able to return to the right track. Yan Liang analyzed.

"Not bad. Lin Zheng nodded, Yan Liang's analysis was reasonable and reasonable, it was likely to be like this: "Now that the analysis is clear, what are you looking for me to do?"

"Please enforce the law. Yan Liang handed the roster to Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng gently pushed the roster back: "That's your barracks, you can come how you want, I will only punish you when you do something wrong, but the premise is that you have to make a mistake." ”

Yan Liang nodded with the roster, turned around and left Lin Zheng's training ground.

At night, it was silent, and the soldiers were a little tired after a day of training, and some tents were already snoring.

Yan Liang walked through many tents alone, according to the records on the roster, Yan Liang was looking for those slacks in training one by one, one slack will infect the whole team, and one slack will infect the whole army, and such a major event is bound to stifle it in the bud.

Finally Yan Liang found the first tent, and Yan Liang stood outside the tent and faintly heard the sound of conversation in it.

"What kind of bullshit Heavenly Master Pavilion, as soon as he came, he increased so much training, when Commander Liang was here, he only trained for one hour a day, and then the time was freely distributed, how happy it was at that time. ”

"Isn't it just a Heavenly Master Pavilion who committed treason, it was not exterminated by the imperial court back then, and now it is resurrected. ”

"That's it! Guilty of treason and sent to the Heavenly Master Pavilion, why should Lao Tzu listen to him, Lao Tzu doesn't train seriously, I see what he can do to us. ”

"The law is not responsible for the public, with Brother Zhang covering, what are we afraid of, we don't train seriously. ”

"Don't worry, since I am your captain, I will definitely be responsible for you to the end!"

"Who are you responsible for?" Yan Liang finally couldn't bear to walk into the tent.

The man surnamed Zhang, who was still bragging, saw Yan Liang walking in with a sword, and the whole person was stunned.

"Great, my lord, we are just too tired to brag after a day of training, there is no need to draw a sword, right?" The man surnamed Zhang swallowed his saliva and stood trembling in place.

"Too tired?" Yan Liang snorted coldly: "If someone else shoots ten shots, you shoot three shots, and you're embarrassed to shout tired at me?"

"My lord, my lord, we must train well from tomorrow, no, no, we will go to the training ground from now on, your lord, please let us go." The man surnamed Zhang still wanted to beg for mercy.

Yan Liang was unmoved: "Those who disturb the hearts of the army will be killed." ”

After saying that, he didn't see Yan Liang take out his sword, and the man surnamed Zhang immediately fell to the ground.

"You clean up here, and elect a captain by yourself, if I see you slacking off on training again tomorrow, I will reunite with your brother Zhang. ”

"Also, don't let me hear you speak ill of the Heavenly Master Pavilion again!"

Yan Liang snorted coldly, so frightened that the remaining ten people trembled and couldn't help nodding, and then Yan Liang left the tent.

In one night, Yan Liang explored seventeen tents at night and killed more than 20 soldiers to strengthen the army's heart.

On the second day, Yan Liang stood on the high platform of the training ground again and held the handrail to overlook the entire training ground, this time the soldiers were in good order, and no one slacked off in training, and the drill was pleasing to the eye.

Shen Yueting's recruitment of troops was generally smooth, and the city lord here also took money to do things, not only specially sent people to ask people door-to-door if they were willing to become soldiers, but also publicized it in the vegetable market.

It's just that some young men came to join the army because they were instigated, and then they quarreled with their families in the recruiting ground, which attracted some negativity.

In the past, Shen Yueting would definitely give an order to let those young men go back, but now he understood the difficulties that Lin Zheng had come to the present with this almost falling apart Heavenly Master Pavilion, and he also understood that the sooner he entered the Chu State, the greater the benefits to the Heavenly Master Pavilion, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Shen Yueting resolutely did not leave the person whose name was registered.

But Shen Yueting also received all kinds of infamy because of this.

"They scolded me outside?" Shen Yueting sat in the big tent, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard his subordinate say that a large number of people had gathered outside the barracks to denounce him.

"Scold, scold. But those who draw the line and trespass on the barracks will be killed. Registering a fugitive is guilty of the same crime as a deserter. ”

"Yes. The commander was a little frightened when he saw the cold appearance of his deputy commander, and hurriedly nodded and walked out of the big tent.

"Brother Shen?" Sizhou City Lord Han City Lord came to the barracks again.

"The original Brother Han, I don't know what you have to do here?" asked Shen Yueting with a smile, but he also knew that the other party must have found some other reason to ask for money.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that many people have made a fuss in the city recently, and even some people have used their connections to find me, these people are all important positions in my city lord's mansion, and their children are impulsive, but my city lord's mansion always has to operate, right?"

City Lord Han said with some embarrassment.

"Brother Han, the adult in my family is not very good-tempered, the original army of 300,000 was a full 30,000 people, do you say that it is not angry? Shen Yueting said: "If the important position is gone, you can recruit again, but if your life is gone, you will have nothing." ”

Shen Yueting stood up and patted the Han City Lord on the shoulder: "I'll add thirty percent of the money to you, and you go back and settle them." ”
