Chapter 39: Bitter Trial
After that day, those captives became proper, and they didn't dare to make a sound when they saw Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Xiao asked them to kill chickens, and no one dared to pick up the dogs.
Zhang Xiao did not manage government affairs, nor did he manage military affairs, and even uncharacteristically did not teach his soldiers.
Because Zhang Xiao doesn't need to do it anymore, someone does it better than Zhang Xiao.
Although Zhou Gouer is immature, he is quite handy in handling government affairs. After all, there are not many things on the mountain, and all he needs to care about is food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is no different from what he was responsible for before, and may even be a little easier.
Because the newly surrendered subordinates were already frightened and did not dare to make any demands.
As for the army, the 100 men and horses under his command were trained by Liu Fu.
As for the newly surrendered people, Zhang Xiao handed it over to Zhao Jintong, who surrendered to him.
The sword that Zhang Xiao threw at Zhao Jintong slashed at Zhao Jintong's armor, and it didn't kill him, he just fainted.
When he woke up, he took the initiative to surrender to Zhang Xiao.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao divided the more than 1,500 subordinates into two parts, and the most elite 100 of them belonged to Liu Lu's subordinates.
After this battle, the Liu brothers can be said to have been reborn, and it is not a problem to train 100 elite soldiers.
Of course, with the ability of the two of them, they can train a hundred people.
The other more than 1,000 people were handed over to Zhao Jintong and put him in charge of training.
After all, Zhao Jintong was born in the border army, and he still has the ability, the reason why he didn't swing it out was just because he was suppressed by Luo Fang, and it was a good choice for Zhang Xiao to hand over the people to him.
The reason why Zhang Xiao is so generous is not how much he trusts Zhao Jintong, but that Zhang Xiao knows that the courage of Zhao Jintong's subordinates has been completely frightened by Zhang Xiao, and few dare to disobey Zhang Xiao's orders.
Taking a step back, even if these guys dare to rebel, Zhang Xiao will be able to suppress them with his backhand.
Zhang Xiao has this confidence.
Both government affairs and military affairs were assigned by Zhang Xiao, so Zhang Xiao, who had nothing to do, began to practice martial arts by himself.
Because after the battle of Hutou Village, Zhang Xiao finally understood the importance of personal force.
Zhang Xiao's martial arts are not ranked in the rivers and lakes, that is, he is just a second-rate expert, but he can influence the war of "thousands of people" with his own strength.
In a sense, Zhang Xiao is already a "thousand enemies".
And so on, so is it possible for a first-class master to influence a war at the level of 10,000 people, whether a master of the Grandmaster realm can influence a master at the level of 100,000 people, and whether a strong person with a great grandmaster can influence a war at the level of a million.
Legend has it that Fu Cailin, the master of Yijian, single-handedly resisted the Liaodong army of Emperor Yang of Sui, Zhang Xiao originally thought it was a little exaggerated, but Zhang Xiao now feels that it is not exaggerated.
Thinking about it again, above the great grandmaster, there are Sun En, Yan Fei and other masters who have obtained the Broken Void level, Zhang Xiao really attaches importance to martial arts.
Zhang Xiao originally thought that as long as there was an advantage in numbers, no matter how strong the master was, he would be able to use people to die, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
Of course, Zhang Xiao is a little arrogant about this, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Xiao's soldiers and ordinary soldiers are two different things, but the question that Zhang Xiao thinks about is indeed not wrong.
A real master can decide the outcome of a war, if Zhang Xiao does not have strong martial arts and only focuses on honing the army, then one day he will be assassinated.
Zhang Xiao really worked hard this time.
Because Zhang Xiao practiced the "Heaven Mending Heart Method" and the "Flower Heart Method" at the same time, Zhang Xiao's true qi increased very quickly.
These two mental methods are the top mental methods of the Demon Gate, and they are superimposed in pairs, and the degree is twice as fast.
Of course, it's fast, but it's not without its pitfalls.
Although theoretically speaking, the martial arts of the Flower Sect and the Heaven Replenishment Dao can actually be fused together, for example, the evil king Shi Zhixuan fused these two internal skills together, and the true qi he cultivated was neither "Flower True Qi" nor "Heaven Replenishment True Qi", but the Tianyi True Qi that fused the two together.
However, Zhang Xiao didn't know the trick, so although he cultivated the "True Qi Between Flowers" and "Replenishing Heavenly True Qi", the two true qi could be said to be distinct and did not interfere with each other.
Zhang Xiao tried to fuse these two internal qi together, but the distance between the two internal qi collided, and the meridians were almost broken.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao naturally did not dare to try such a dangerous thing, but Zhang Xiao could be sure that he had stepped on a powder keg.
Although the two exercises are now distinct because of the different cultivation routes, as Zhang Xiao's true qi continues to become profound, there will always be a day when these two internal qi collide, and there will be no possibility of survival for him at that time.
However, Zhang Xiao was not particularly worried, because Zhang Xiao knew that Shi Qingxuan had the "Immortal Secret Scroll" in his hand, and if he found a way to get it, he would find a way to fuse the two exercises and transform them into the "Immortal Seal Method".
Even more extreme, after the martial arts are completed, you can also go to Shi Long to seize the "Longevity Formula" in his hand, and then abolish your own true qi and rebuild the "Longevity Formula" instead.
After all, Zhang Xiao is still very young and can afford it.
Zhang Xiao can't say what will happen in the future, but in any case, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain.
All Zhang Xiao needs to do now is to cultivate his internal strength and improve his strength.
In fact, unless one cultivated to the "Innate Realm" one day earlier, the conflict between these two True Qi would not really burst out.
And from that realm, Zhang Xiao is still far away.
No matter how hard Zhang Xiao cultivates, it is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite and become a "grandmaster-level" powerhouse in the innate realm in one step.
Zhang Xiao would spend about fourteen hours of twenty-four hours a day practicing martial arts, and then spend eight hours dealing with some government affairs and some miscellaneous items, leaving only three hours of sleep.
Zhang Xiao could feel that he was constantly getting stronger almost every day, the originally thin true qi became more and more powerful, and Zhang Xiao's martial arts became stronger almost at a degree that was visible to the naked eye.
Zhang Xiao even doubted that he was the kind of martial arts wizard who was unique in ten thousand, otherwise how could his strength improve so quickly.
But seeing Chen Mo's situation, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little weak, because Chen Mo's cultivation degree was even three points faster than Zhang Xiao's, and regardless of his true qi for the time being, his shadow sword technique had already practiced the fifth style, "White Rainbow Penetrating the Sun".
Zhang Xiao even vaguely felt that Chen Mo's current strength might be one point higher than his own.
Although it was only a possibility, Zhang Xiao did feel a sense of urgency, and he practiced martial arts more attentively.
Seeing Zhang Xiao and Chen Mo working so hard, the fourteen teenagers in the martial arts department also practiced martial arts desperately, and their strength improved at different levels, and Zhang Tian, who had the fastest cultivation, even had the strength of a third-rate master.
Most of these teenagers are practicing the family tradition "Kwai Shui Duel" taught by Chen Mo, although this kind of exercise is far from catching up with the "Heaven Mending Heart Method" and "Flower Heart Method", but it is not known how many times stronger than the "Changchun Gong".
There are only two exceptions, Heaven Defect and Earth Deficiency, and what they cultivate is the "Heaven Mending Heart Method".
Zhang Xiao only spent less than an hour every day to check their cultivation progress, and most of the time was managed by Chen Mo.
Zhang Xiao only instructed him not to pass on the "Heavenly Heart Method" lightly, otherwise it would definitely lead to death. As for other things, Zhang Xiao almost let go.
For Zhang Xiao, the most important thing now is to improve his strength, and other things can be put down first.
(Thanks to the reward of Luo Yuyun, I finally achieved a breakthrough of zero, and I added a new chapter today as promised.) If I can accumulate two brothers to reward me, no matter how much, then I will add one more. For me, it's the "quantity" that counts, not the "quality".
