197. Chapter 195

Fengli County, inside the city lord's mansion!

Du Long summoned Fu Bo, Sun Lin and Xia Ye to discuss here, which was also the first time that Xia Ye had participated in such a highest-level meeting since he officially participated in the affairs of Fengli County!

After being polite to each other, Du Long turned over and took out a stack of materials and handed it to Sun Lin and said, "Sun Lin, you have to organize the Shadow Guard to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the targets on this list, and find out the reconnaissance content indicated on the list as soon as possible, and report it to me in a summary manner!"

"The last general obeys the order!" respectfully stepped forward to take the stack of materials, Sun Lin returned to his seat, his eyes roughly swept the first page of the information, and he could see that most of them were the names of the generals of several major legions of the Blue Moon Empire, and there were only a few generals of the Chishui Kingdom!

"Fu Bo! The recruitment of the Xiao Cavalry Legion will continue, but the review conditions can be appropriately relaxed, that is to say, outsiders can also join the Xiao Cavalry Legion, the target is about 10,000 people, and these 10,000 horses are not allowed to participate in the escort mission of the secret base of the Black Xuantie Mountain, and can only participate in the delivery of materials from a few gold mines!" Du Long explained to Fu Bo again.

"Hehe, as long as the review conditions are relaxed, then with our treatment, the recruitment speed will definitely be very fast!" replied with a smile.

"No! The treatment of recruiting soldiers this time should be appropriately lowered, the same as the treatment of the guards of Fengli City, it doesn't matter if the recruitment speed is slower, in short, these soldiers and horses are just used to hide people's ears, there is no need to be too anxious!" Du Long hurriedly said the real purpose.

"Oh, I see! Then I understand! Since this matter is not urgent, it is better to leave it to Steward Xia to handle it!" Fu Bo nodded and smiled.

"Uncle Xia, then I'll leave this matter to you! Of course, proper identity review is also necessary, but it's not that strict!" Du Long nodded and looked at Xia Ye with a smile.

"Okay, I'll do my best to handle this!" Xia Ye replied without any delay.

"Very good! Fu Bo and Sun Lin are going to get busy! Uncle Xia stayed! Qinglian and I have come back from the capital, and it's not too late to finish dinner together and go to run errands!" Du Long looked at everyone with a smile.

At this point, after Du Long handed over the task, the meeting was over, and everyone was very busy, and he didn't talk nonsense!

With Princess Huofeng and the three members of the Xia family finishing their meal together, Du Long took his two daughters to Heixuantie Mountain, where he met Ou Yezi to learn about the progress of equipment production, and after dealing with some important affairs in the production base by the way, he rushed to the demon beast swamp non-stop.

In the Demon Beast Swamp, more than half a month has passed, and this place has completely changed!

On the largest land, cattle and sheep appeared in herds in circles, and outside the Hu people's camp, patches of fertile fields were reclaimed, and you can see that many seedlings have emerged in the fields!

On the other few pieces of land, tens of thousands of iron-armored water rhino heavy armored cavalry, tens of thousands of wolf cavalry, tens of thousands of heavy-armored water pattern horse cavalry, and light cavalry each occupied a piece of land and began to carry out military training in full swing!

Of course, the personnel and mounts are in place, but now the weapons and equipment are not in place, and the Black Xuantie Mountain Secret Weapon Factory has increased a large number of manpower, working overtime every day, but it still can't meet the demand!

Therefore, in order to ensure that everyone was not left behind in training, the experienced General Xu Yin formulated a very scientific training plan, dividing tens of thousands of horses into three batches!

One group is responsible for farming and grazing, one group is responsible for queue attack, martial arts training, etc., and the last group is fully equipped for charge attack and defense training, and the three groups of men and horses are rotated every half a month!

Du Long took his two daughters to inspect around, and while affirming Xu Yin's batch training method, under the advice provided by the Ring Spirit Beauty, he put forward some suggestions for improvement in farming, grazing, and military training!

In the end, the three of them lived in the camp on the largest land of the Demon Beast Swamp, and inside the Hu Clan camp, there were several large tents that were specially used for other high-level temporary living.

Here, after Du Long had finished some important affairs every day, the rest of his time was spent cultivating and refining pills!

There were six Golden Flame Beads to absorb and refine, and there were still a large number of spiritual herbs waiting for him to refine into pills, and all the time was full......

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year 1008 of the Star Calendar, and sure enough, as Du Long expected, after the Blue Moon Empire completed its military assembly, it used the excuse of Wu Sui, the leader of the Iron Hammer Legion of the Chishui Kingdom, to kill nearly one million troops of the Blue Moon Empire in the Red Moon Pass, and in the name of revenge, launched a huge war of aggression against the Red Moon Pass of the Chishui Kingdom!

This excuse is really ridiculous, the Blue Moon Empire launched a war of aggression against the Red Moon Pass, and then killed a million troops, but used this as an excuse to send troops again?!

But whoever has a hard fist in this world has the right to speak, and even if others know that they are shameless, they are helpless!

The entire army of 600,000 troops of the three legions attacked the Red Moon Pass with all their might, looking at the formation, it seemed that they would not stop until they captured the Red Moon Pass!

In the face of the protest of the Chishui Kingdom, the Blue Moon Empire released its words, as long as the Chishui Kingdom is willing to hand over the culprit Wu Sui to the Blue Moon Empire for punishment, then the Blue Moon Empire will immediately withdraw its troops, otherwise, it will definitely not give up!

The king of the Chishui Kingdom would not be so stupid as to think that after handing over the famous general Wu Xuan, the Blue Moon Empire would never invade his country, and it is estimated that after they get Wu Xuan, they will just withdraw and go around for a while, and then immediately turn around and launch an attack!

In short, the Chiyue Pass where the famous general Wu Sui is located, it is an impenetrable dangerous pass, once the famous general Wu Sui is lost, the Chishui Kingdom will definitely not be far from extinction!

Under the attention of the countries on the mainland, the Blue Moon Empire launched a war under such a shameless pretext, from the initial 600,000 troops, all the way to nearly a million, and continued to attack the Red Moon Pass every day, and the battle situation was extremely fierce!

The outbreak of this war shocked many generals of the Haotian Empire, including the old and new emperors, and the target of their shock was not the war itself, but the words of Du Long, the youngest Zhengsi Xiaoqi Zhonglang general in the continent just a few months ago!

All things have been fulfilled!

Especially the two emperors, the old and the new, only they listened to Du Long's detailed analysis of what kind of troops the Blue Moon Empire would use this time to launch a war against the Red Moon Pass that seemed very fierce on the surface, but in fact it was a war with a lot of thunder and little rain!

From the analysis of the information received, when the Blue Moon Empire launched an attack on Chiyue Pass this time, it ostensibly used a large number of troops, but in fact, it launched an attack every day, and before each attack, it was always necessary to let the large siege equipment throw a large number of stones at Chiyue Pass in advance, and then send people to rush up, once it felt that something could not be done, it would immediately withdraw its troops!

In other words, they are mainly attacking from a distance, supplemented by close combat, which is clearly in line with all the conditions that Du Long said!

On the occasion of the New Year's celebration at the end of 1008 in the Star Calendar, the Blue Moon Empire, which had just launched a war for less than half a month, took the lead in announcing a truce, saying that it would wait until the New Year's celebration was over to seek justice from the Chishui Kingdom.

Since the attacker took the initiative to strike the war, the Chishui Kingdom was of course happy to see it happen, but the nearly one million troops still outside the Chiyue Pass always kept the Chishui Kingdom on its back, and this New Year's celebration obviously couldn't be so comfortable!

For the Haotian Empire, this year's New Year's celebration can't be so comfortable, as early as the late stage of the Blue Moon Empire's army assembly, the empire's top brass issued a second-level combat readiness order to several legions adjacent to the Blue Moon Empire, and several main generals have returned to their positions, ready to meet the sudden attack of the Blue Moon Empire at any time!

Second-level combat readiness order, the Haotian Empire does not need to carry out a national war mobilization, only the legions that receive this combat readiness order need to be careful and prepare for various wars!

As the commander of the Loyal Martial Legion, Du Zhentian can only stay inside the garrison of the Loyal Martial Legion in Chilong Gorge this New Year, and there is no way to return to the imperial capital to accompany his family for the New Year!

In the past few months, Du Long's strength has improved by leaps and bounds again, from the first order of the Qi Sea to the fifth order of the Qi Sea, with an average increase of one order per month, which is still the result of his efforts to suppress it under the advice of the Ring Spirit Beauty!

Every time his strength increases, the weight on his body increases a lot, and then there is a whole month of devil-like extreme training, so that the physical strength can adapt to the speed of strength growth as soon as possible!

Only in this way can we ensure the stability of the foundation and be more beneficial to the growth of strength in the future!

The fifth-order strength of the Qi Sea, in the dantian space, the five liquid energies slowly swirled and rotated in a mysterious trajectory, just like an ocean whirlpool, which was both beautiful and spectacular!

During the Chinese New Year in the capital, Du Long naturally had another secret discussion with the old and new emperors, although the new emperor was much more convinced of him, but he still didn't believe that the Blue Moon Empire would launch a fierce general attack on the Red Moon Pass for a whole year, even if it was to hide people's eyes, there was no need to pay such a big price!

The new emperor still underestimated the ambitions of the Blue Moon Empire, and they were able to spend decades patiently planning against the Haotian Empire, and seeing that it was time to close the net, even if they raised the strength of the whole country, they had to ensure that this big plan could be successfully implemented!

After the Chinese New Year, Du Long returned to the territory again!

After another three months, Du Long, whose strength had reached the eighth order of the Qi Sea, could no longer improve his strength by taking the three-grade spiritual liquid, the reason was very simple, in the case of Ganghuo's lack of improvement, he could only take the third-grade spiritual liquid twice to improve his strength, and every time Ganghuo doubled, he could take the third-grade spiritual liquid one more time!

It's a pity that Jin Yanzhu only got a total of six, which is only enough to increase the chance of taking the third-grade spiritual liquid six times at most, so after reaching the eighth order of the Qi Sea, Du Long, who is exhausted by Jin Yanzhu, has to rely on his own hard cultivation to improve his strength!

Of course, if he can find Jin Yanzhu again, he will be able to improve his strength through spiritual liquid again!

It's a pity, after eight months, let alone Jin Yanzhu, he was looking for treasures everywhere in the Demon Beast Forest, and he didn't even encounter Ziyanzhu again, and originally wanted to buy Jin Yanzhu through the strength of Zhenbao Zhai, but as soon as he heard that each Jin Yanzhu reached 150,000, and it was still priceless, Du Long immediately dispelled the idea of buying Jin Yanzhu!

In the three months after the New Year, the Blue Moon Empire once again launched a continuous attack on the Akatsuki Pass, and a large number of stones were thrown to the Akatsuki Pass every day, and a large number of stones were piled up at the Akatsuki Pass, and the defenders of the pass had to send troops out to clean up these rocks.

In this regard, the army of the Blue Moon Empire surprisingly did not stop it, outsiders did not know the reason, but Du Long and the two emperors, the old and new, knew it!
