Chapter 508: Training

Shangguan Yun had a grand dream, and the country of incense and accumulation occupied an important position in it, and he envied the good fortune of the dragon king, and he actually met such a unique country in the process of fleeing.

His dream is this: with Biyucheng as the core, annex the entire Western Regions, west to Shule, east to Loulan, occupy Xiaoyaohai as a transit, and take Xiangji Country as the most stable rear.

Shangguan Yun ran to the country of incense regardless of the danger, and persuading his sister to surrender was only one of the reasons, the most important thing was that he wanted to see this land with his own eyes.

He was struck by what he had seen along the way, the Land of Aroma was probably the most inhabitable region for human habitation, with a vast expanse of fertile uncultivated land and a pitifully small population under the rule of those stupid nobles.

Forests, mountains, rivers, legends, the best cover for the land of incense, from the topography, it does not belong to the Western Regions, only two roads maintain a hairline-like connection with it, one road is located in the northwest, before crossing the vast swamps and endless forests, the second road is the trail in the Wushan Mountain.

Shangguan Yun does not intend to close this land again, just Xiangban, he has been thinking about how to open up a smoother road and introduce a large number of people to the country of Xiangji, after two or three generations, it will not only become a granary, a medicine warehouse, but also a "human warehouse", providing endless soldiers for Jinpeng Castle, until then, the Western Regions can really be said to be able to stand with the North Court and the Central Plains.

He didn't get a chance to tell his sister about his big dreams.

Shangguan Ru has changed into a different person, and the transformation process is diametrically opposite to that of the third brother, one has gone from being good at killing and strong to being soft in resisting killing, and he is unwilling to use even real weapons, and the other has jumped into the abyss of killing from deep affection, and has never looked back.

But she hasn't changed a little, she still has a passionate and beating ambition, which she herself has not yet noticed, but Shangguan Yun recognizes it at a glance.

The capital of the country of incense was in good order under her rule, the plants in the city were restrained, and a large number of vacant places were restored to habitation for former slaves, and when Shangguan Yun arrived, she was organizing manpower to repair the crumbling city walls.

Shangguan Yun judged from this that Ru's sister is still a typical child of the Shangguan family: no matter when and where, no matter how depressed and pessimistic, she is a ruler in her bones.

Those children of the same clan who are willing to live under the people are not worthy of the surname Shangguan.

After the first meeting, Shangguan Yun knew that he would never be able to convince his sister.

Shangguan Ru was very happy to see the third brother, and at the same time surprised at his choice after being released from prison, and bluntly said about it, "Third brother, you are betraying yourself. ”

"Aren't you the same?"

"I was young and ignorant, I didn't have any ideas of my own, I didn't care about betrayal. ”

"Young and ignorant?" Shangguan Yun smiled, thinking back to his teenage self, although he was young, he was not ignorant, as early as the age of thirteen, he had already formed a set of theories in his mind, whether it was the teacher Mr. Zhang Ji or the Dubu Wang, there was no way to convince him.

So, he did betray himself, so completely that sometimes he felt a little sad, as if his former self had been murdered, "You've made up your mind?"

Shangguan Ru nodded, didn't say what his idea was, Shangguan Yun didn't ask, he gave up persuasion, in order to show respect for his sister, the two abandoned their ambitions, just like ordinary brothers and sisters, chatting about the past and commenting on relatives and friends.

Shangguan Yun was unrestrained, he could walk inside and outside the capital at will, and the arrival of him and the group of guards caused a lot of commotion among the women, Shangguan Yun let his subordinates do their own thing, he himself refused all temptations, and only carefully observed the customs and customs, and made plans for the future great cause.

Must take the country of incense, at any cost, Shangguan Yun has already made up his mind, for a time, he even wanted to launch a coup d'Γ©tat at that time, and soon gave up, since the Dragon King came, the situation here has been different from before, what happened in the capital will soon be transmitted to the Xiaoyao Sea, as long as a small number of dragon troops come to the rescue, he will be besieged.

He didn't want to gain and lose.

Shangguan Ru was training the army, he also saw it, and it was because he saw it that he didn't take it seriously.

At that time, a coincidence happened, and several groups of wild men ran out of the forest in the northwest to harass the residents outside the city, and Shangguan Ru sent out all the thousands of female soldiers who had completed the initial training to drive the wild bandits back to the forest, and at the same time built fortifications at the edge of the woodland to prepare for long-term defense.

All Shangguan Fei saw was a group of chirping women, chopping around with rudimentary wooden knives, similar to a child's game in the stone castle.

He didn't expect that this would be the prototype of an army, and the training of female swordsmen might be noteworthy for others, but as for Shangguan Ru, it was not only normal, but also deserved.

Shangguan Yun left quickly, Shangguan Ru's plan to train the army continued, she was a little addicted, through the training of female soldiers, not only cultivated a force that could defend the country, but also achieved many of her original goals, such as the integration of slaves and nobles, such as the jealousy of women has indeed been greatly reduced.

Strangely, both of these things were expected by Old Man Mu.

"This is the human heart. "Old man Mu became a philosopher, after a period of recuperation, his body basically recovered, but his skills were sluggish, only recovered to six or seven percent, he can still be regarded as a master, but he no longer has the strength to crisscross the Western Regions.

"People's hearts are always aware of hindsight, how much ability there is to have a big idea, like me, when the martial arts are low, the lower the apprenticeship, the higher the martial arts, the greater the temper, and when they are invincible, they can't help but look down on the world. So, take care of your female soldiers and don't let them get too strong. ”

There is no need for Old Man Mu's reminder, Shangguan Ru is impossible to teach advanced martial arts, she abandons all the training methods of Jinpeng killers, and only teaches them the most basic sword techniques, and then practices bow and archery hard, the purpose is to let the women in the country have something to do.

There are more and more female soldiers.

Gu Shenwei gave strong support, not only sent fifty masters, but also sent a lot of iron arrowheads, as for the short bow and arrow shaft, the country of incense can be used locally.

Most of the fifty archers were the savage soldiers of the Dragon King, and their arrival also solved the problem of intrusion in the northwest, and through negotiations, the two sides reached a reconciliation, and established a market in the border area, which opened every ten days, and exchanged ideas, and the country of incense was thus given a batch of ready-made bows and arrows.

The threat of invasion has been lifted, and Shangguan Ru continues to train female soldiers under the pretext of making them independent.

Old Man Mu sat in prison and had enough time to analyze Shangguan Ru's every behavior, so in the end, it was he who pointed out Shangguan Ru's true thoughts, "You want to keep in touch with the Dragon King in this way. ”

The dragon king already had a wife, and Shangguan Ru felt that he had long forgotten that concern, and was awakened by the old man Mu's words, and only then did he clearly see the hidden expectations in his heart.

Training female soldiers has become the main content of her correspondence with Gu Shenwei, most of which are very simple, such as "A certain woman shot a hundred steps away today, although she did not hit the target battlement, her strength is good", and never touched on the topic of number and equipment.

Gu Shenwei's reply is also very simple, always after talking about the current situation in Xiaoyaohai in a few words, he casually mentions the expanding female soldier army, which is nothing more than common sense such as "the shooter is the first to seek far, and the head is still second".

Under Gu Shenwei's orders, these letters were all secretly transmitted, mixed with other official documents, in fact, even if someone stole a few letters, they would never have imagined that the number of female soldiers in one stroke had expanded to an astonishing number.

In order to prevent someone from inadvertently leaking secrets, Gu Shenwei also gradually narrowed the passage to the land of incense, reduced the delivery of materials, and only allowed the most trusted people to come and go.

Shangguan Ru kept all Gu Shenwei's letters, and after being woken up by the old man Mu, he took them out again, read them alone, and every one of them did not fall, and after reading a letter and drinking a small sip of wine, he often smiled at the corners of his mouth, but after reading them all, he cried bitterly, and was drunk until dawn.

After that, she kept her letters more securely and began to devote herself to training feverishly.

The person who needs to transfer emotions is no longer a woman in the land of incense.

She also thought that sooner or later, the female soldiers she trained would be used by the Dragon King on the battlefield and participate in endless killings, or the old man Mu would solve her worries.

"You don't have a choice, the country of incense is no longer a paradise, the Dragon King is defeated, Jinpeng Castle, Beiting, and the Central Plains will all rush in to occupy here, the means will be a hundred times more ruthless than the Dragon King, you will lose your foothold, and the women you protect will become the trophies of men, so, when necessary, they are not fighting for the Dragon King, but protecting themselves. ”

Not only that, but Old Man Mu also taught her a lot of military training tricks and the art of arranging troops, "It's all things that I used to learn when I was idle and had nothing to learn. ”

Old Man Mu is very modest, and Shangguan Ru is sometimes even embarrassed, but she controls her kindness to prevent her from being fooled for the second time.

Finally, Gu Shenwei decided to use this army, which was secret to the entire Western Regions.

From the very beginning of the surprise attack plan, he suspected that the army of Tuo Nengya could not be kept secret at all, and he had never imagined that the dragon army was in a precarious period, and riding on the wall to watch was the reaction of almost all normal people, and it was impossible to plug all the loopholes with punishment and co-optation.

All he had to do was prepare his back.

Gu Shenwei left alone in the name of tracking down the traitor and taking over the army, but he was actually going to pick up the female soldiers of the country of incense from afar.

There were more than 8,000 people in total, far exceeding his expectations, although the training time was long and short, and they were not yet fully mature, but they were already useful, as long as they could keep the enemy out of close combat distance with a rain of arrows, they would not lose to any male soldiers on the battlefield.

In order to plan the route in detail, when he had to pass through some tribal villages, he sent a vanguard army to surround them, and in the name of the dragon king, he asked them not to leave the village for half a step for several days.

In the end, a total of 7,000 people reached the slope of the sea.

Shangguan Ru herself did not come, she refused to participate in the war, and she refused to meet the Dragon King at such a time, but she sent the old man Mu who had greatly reduced his martial arts, "You are not allowed to kill a person, as long as you protect the safety of the Dragon King." ”

Old Man Mu suppressed the excitement in his heart and solemnly accepted the task.

Gu Shenwei had already learned of his underground rebirth in the letter, so he was not particularly surprised, but the first task for Old Man Mu was related to killing, "Come with me to assassinate the commander of the enemy army." ”

The Dragon King is not of much use in the war except to stabilize the morale of the army, so Gu Shenwei thought, why not give full play to his strengths? He is a killer, and this can never be changed.

He knew that this decision would be opposed by everyone around him, but it would also surprise all enemies.
