Jingzhou, located in the core area of the north-south advance and retreat of the Xishu Road, has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. At the same time, because of Wang Ruoli's choice, Jingcheng, the largest city in Jingzhou, not only served as the capital of Jingzhou, but also became the Taoist station of the governor of Xishu Province.

After Jingxiang's affairs were finished, Wang Ruoli took his subordinates and cronies and went to Jingcheng.

Yao Hong, the assassin of Jingzhou, took the civil and military officials of Jingzhou and rushed to the outside of the city to greet him.

Unfortunately, Wang Ruoli did not say anything about this grand welcome ceremony, and after entering the city, he immediately began to arrange and sort out various matters of the Xishu Road, especially the most important military issue.

The following month, Wang Ruoli convened a military meeting of Xishu Dao, summoning more than a dozen generals of the Immortal Dynasty army in Xishu Dao, as well as more than 2,000 local army generals, all of whom went to Jingcheng. All of a sudden, Jingcheng was hot, attracting the scorching eyes of all forces, among them, the Song Dynasty court, the king of Huiji, and the king of Baoqing, who attached the most importance to this.

In the previous Song and Chu wars, King Baoqing not only lost Nanhu Dao, but also lost his troops, and now there are only 220,000 immortal Dynasty troops left guarding Nanguang Dao, which is not much different from the nominal Ligong force. However, the king of Huiji, after the rebellion of the seven kings and the war of Song and Chu, his power has further grown, especially the army of the Immortal Dynasty has expanded to 700,000, which is more than the sum of the two kings of Linzhang and Baoqing.

On the one hand, Wang Ruoli went through several battlefields and fought a series of brilliant achievements one after another, and successfully shaped himself into a generation of famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty; on the other hand, Wang Ruoli was inaugurated as the governor of Xishu Dao, and his name was right, and his orders were transmitted to various states and counties.

Perhaps, whether it is the emperor of the Song Dynasty, the king of Huiji, the king of Baoqing, or Wang Ruoli himself, they all far underestimate the powerful influence of a general with high prestige on the army to which he belongs. Today's Ligong Ruoli, his prestige in the Song Dynasty army is like the sky, and no one can compare. Just like the more than 2,000 local army generals in Xishu Dao, as well as the more than 20 million local armies under their control, there is basically no psychological rejection of being assigned to Ligong, and even for Ligong to take over the post of governor of Xishu Dao, he faintly feels that it is taken for granted.

Of course, the focus of Wang Ruoli's attention is still the army of the Immortal Dynasty in the Xishu Dao. Now there are 200,000 Immortal Dynasty troops guarding Xishu Road, although all of them are nominally under the command of Wang Ruoli, but this is not the case.

Except for the 80,000 Immortal Dynasty troops led by Wang Ruo's relatives, they were led by Xiao Baohuang, Bai Yao, Yang Pu, Miao Yi, Fan Ye, and Xiang Xuefeng, and the other Immortal Dynasty troops belonged to different camps. Lu Size, the general of Luyang to which King Huiji belonged, and the 70,000 immortal army led by the generals Cen Jing, Fang Chai, and Xu Qingshan. Nie Feng, the general of Nieyang, to whom King Baoqing belonged, and the 30,000 immortal army led by the general Wu Li. In addition, there are 10,000 immortal army led by Xuan Shitong and Zhang Wenzhong, who are currently unknown to the faction.

It is worth mentioning that the Xishu Dao military meeting went very smoothly.

Wang Ruoli relied on his high prestige, with the help of the power of the governor's position, and took advantage of the fact that the Song Dynasty court, the king of Huiji, and the king of Baoqing did not know his determination enough, and carried out a large-scale reshuffle and reorganization of the army of the entire Xishu Dao.

Most of the people in the Song Dynasty were all

In order to sit firmly in the position of governor, Ligong will definitely choose to compromise, but no one thought that Ligong would not hesitate to offend all forces in order to take control of the Xishu Dao army in one fell swoop. Yes, Wang Ruoli is confident that he not only has the means to subdue all the Immortal Dynasty armies in Xishu Dao, but also believes that he has the strength to suppress any backlash in the army.

With the successful conclusion of this Xishu Dao military meeting, Wang Ruoli began to select and form his own personal guard army, and the scale expanded to 20,000. Although only the cultivation of Dan Yuan and above the three transformations has the qualification to enter the army of the official guard, but the matter of selecting the personal guard is still in full swing, and the enthusiasm is high, whether it is the local army or the immortal army, how many people want to enter the army of the prince who has left the prince.

Wang Ruoli took the opportunity of selecting the pro-guard army to reintegrate all the armies in Xishu Dao in a big way. As for those spiritual realm powerhouses in the Immortal Dynasty army, they were actually detained by Wang Ruoli in Jingcheng.

The crane tower, located on the edge of the Jingjiang River, is staggered and overlapped, and the angle is lifted, as if it is a crane with wings ready to fly.

Although the Crane Tower is not the tallest building in Jingcheng, it is the most famous viewing place in the city. Ascending the Crane Tower, you can not only have a panoramic view of Jingcheng, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jingjiang River. Since ancient times, the Crane Tower has not only been favored by the literati, but also praised as a landmark building in Jingzhou by the people of Jingzhou.

At this moment, Wang Ruoli is standing on the top floor of the Crane Tower, outside the guardrail, is it the slightest cold wind?

Behind Wang Ruoli, in addition to Yu Lao, there were eight other people. On the left are Wang Ruoli's descendant generals, Xiao Baohuang, Bai Yao and other six people, and on the right are Lu Yuan, the former general of Jingxiang, and Yao Hong, the assassin of Jingzhou.

"Young master, it's cold. Yu Lao, who was behind him, held a cloak and carefully draped it on Wang Ruoli's shoulders. Although Wang Ruoli is now a high-ranking and powerful father-in-law, Yu Lao is still used to calling Wang Ruoli Young Master, and he is also the only person who can call Wang Ruoli that way.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu. Wang Ruoli smiled at the corner of his mouth, feeling the cloak on his body, and there was an inexplicable warmth in his heart. Although with Wang Ruoli's current cultivation realm, he doesn't care about the cold and heat at all, but he is very interested in this kind of simple and simple life. Just like the old, since he was a teenager, he has been by his side, taking care of himself, protecting himself, and placing deep affection on himself, not a relative, better than a relative.

"Lu Yuan. Wang Ruoli slightly straightened the cloak he had tied, looked ahead, and said lightly.

"The subordinates are here. Lu Yuan, who was in the rear, hurriedly stood up. Since the fall of Jingxiang State, the remaining important generals in Jingxiang Land, the highest positions are Wei General Lu Yuan and Right General Qingfu, of course, the former general title has long ceased to exist. After Qingxuzi's self-apologizing for his crimes, Qingfu returned to the sect and became the new head of Qingxumen. As for Lu Yuan, as a captain of the Ligong Guard's army, he was left by Wang Ruoli's side, and those sergeants who were drawn from Jingxiang, Qinan, Jingkang and other places were uniformly allocated to Lu Yuan for dispatch.

"Those excellent seedlings selected from Jingxiang Land can still adapt to Jingcheng when they arrive in Jingcheng?" asked Wang Ruoli with a look of concern.

"Returning to Grandpa, the land of Jingxiang has gone through that bloody change

Those who have entered the army are all outstanding descendants of various sects and families. Lu Yuan replied cautiously, "Just like Xi Mufeng, Jiang Jing, Tu Dazhong, He Yiyi, Xie Lingju, Lan Xiang'er, Lu Xiyi and others, they are all materials that can be made, and they are all Jingxiang students who were at the same time as their grandfather. ”

"The people who serve in the army of the major forces in Jingxiang are very good at choosing. Wang Ruoli snorted lightly, breaking but not saying that he was broken, as if he remembered the past, "Back then, my father also opened a handicap with Xi Mufeng and Jiang Whale. By the way, Xi Mufeng, it should be the Yuan Period, right?"

"Yes. Lu Yuan pinned his hopes on it, "Xi Mufeng has excellent qualifications, has made rapid progress, and is now a captain of the Immortal Dynasty Army. ”

"Good. Wang Ruoli patted Lu Yuan's shoulder lightly, and sighed meaningfully, "My father hopes that in the future, some people who can be of great use can come out of your Jingxiang Lieutenant Camp." ”

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will not dare to relax. Lu Yuan hurriedly said respectfully.

Wang Ruoli nodded, and turned to look at the six generals under his descendants.

"Xiao Baohuang, this time my father-in-law pulled you out and entered the Death Army, do you have any complaints or thoughts, might as well tell me about it?" Wang Ruoli looked at Xiao Baohuang and asked directly.

"The last general will not dare. When Xiao Baohuang heard this, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Grandpa does this, he has his own father's reason, and he will not speculate without authorization." ”

It turned out that Wang Ruoli selected the pro-guard army this time and took the opportunity to reorganize and integrate the army of Xishu Dao, which was actually only a secondary aspect. What is really important is that the thirty-eight spiritual realm powerhouses to which Wang Ruoli belonged to the general side drew out thirty people to form the "Death Army", which was divided into three teams, with Xiao Baohuang, Luyang General Lu Size, and Nieyang General Nie Feng serving as team leaders.

"In the army of the dead, how do you view the 'army of the dead'?" Wang Ruoli then asked.

"Grandpa forgive the sin!" Xiao Baohuang knew that Wang Ruoli wanted to hear the truth, so he confessed first, and said cautiously, "From the dead army, not far from death, everyone knows that this is the grandfather's plan to capture the thief and capture the king, and set up a 'away from the dead army' trap, so that people have to drill, and they dare not drill, so they can only obediently suffer from house arrest." Looking at the current situation, although there are many grievances, but the hearts of the people are not aligned, and the last general believes that no one of them can get out of this trap. ”

"Yes, death is not far away, and his heart should be brave. Wang Ruoxing moved and said slowly, "However, this is only one of the purposes. Xiao Baohuang, my father let you enter the Death Army as the leader of the first squad, do you think that this father is just for you to supervise those spiritual realm powerhouses?"

"Could it be...... Could it be that Grandpa really wants to form such a 'Death Army'?" Xiao Baohuang was shocked when he heard this, and shook his head unconsciously, "This is a fantasy, it is simply impossible! For a long time, the spiritual realm powerhouses of the Shenyuan Continent are not only high-ranking existences, but also limited in number, which is really not enough to form an army. Just like the night guards in the middle of the court, even at their peak, there were less than two hundred. ”

"Yes, if you want every soldier who has left the dead to reach the level of a general of the Immortal Dynasty, this kind of thing is really difficult to climb to the sky. Wang Ruoli took a long breath, looked at his generals, and said categorically, "However, the road, step by step, as long as the father does not fall, there will always be a day when it will be realized." ”
