Douluo's coffin Douluo

Chapter 223 Red Valley Desert
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open from the inside. Cao Yu, who had been guarding the door all this time, turned around and saw Zhu Shengshuo and Jiang Lie walking out.

"General, farewell."

Jiang Li took the helmet Cao Yu handed over and put it on, and slightly cupped his fists at Zhu Shengshuo.

"Ah."

Zhu Shengshuo's sharp eyes scanned the surroundings like an eagle, approached Jiang Li, and said calmly, "When Zhuqing completes the family trial, I will send someone to send her there."

"Okay." Jiang Lie nodded, and exchanged a glance with Cao Yu. The two left the general's mansion straight away, and then got on their horses.

After leaving the vast city without saying a word, Cao Yu turned his head and showed curiosity when he came to the mountain road outside the city, "Young master, how did you talk with the general about the marriage?"

"It's going well. In addition, the matter of Wuhun Palace and Tiandou Empire has basically been resolved." Jiang Li rode a horse and followed Cao Yu around the mountain path, where the trees were verdant and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

"That's really great. I knew that the General has always had the world in mind. Even if he was thinking about the future Star Luo Empire, he would not make things difficult for you."

Cao Yu was really happy for Jiang Lie, turned her head again, and couldn't help laughing, "Young Master, I'm actually quite curious, what kind of person is that girl you like?"

"You know, even if you are not the prince, if you marry the general's daughter, half of the Star Luo Empire will be yours, and you will truly reach the sky in one step."

"Forget it, there is no comparison between the general's daughter and her."

Jiang Li smiled mysteriously, said no more, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and rushed forward quickly.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, then sighed twice, shook the rein in his hand, and followed quickly.

Haohan City is not far from Zhongxiu Mountain. Among them is a Beiye Canal, whose source is Zhongxiu Mountain. It flows from north to south, passing through Haohan City, two secondary cities, and five sub-districts. Mingque Mountain outside.

So according to the flow of the river, you can find the original road. Jiang Li also slowed down a little along the way, stopping and going, and getting to know a lot of places.

After all, even though he will have a map in his hand for future wars, he will have it in the world... but if some terrains and cities are imprinted in his mind, he will not suffer too much.

After nearly two days, Jiang Li finally saw the familiar outline of the mountain in front of him, like a painted landscape painting in front of him. As the sound of horseshoes approached, a bird was startled in the woods.

"By the way, Cao Yu, the general told me to let me train with your army and cooperate with simulated battles. I haven't been on the battlefield, so I need to exercise."

"Okay, after I go back, I will bring brothers from other teams over to cooperate, but the young master is very talented, and he will definitely be able to do it after practicing."

Jiang Li turned his head and looked at him with a smile on his lips, "You've only known me for a few days? You flattered me so soon?"

"No, no, this is sincerity."

Cao Yu blushed, "Actually, young master, although I am a soul sage, compared with the other subordinates of the master, I am a little bit out of step, just an errand runner, really, you haven't seen those people, wait If you see it, I guess I will become a scumbag."

Jiang Li was taken aback, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a broken smile, "Then hurry up and curry favor with me now, do you know the principle of proximity?"

"That's for sure... Wait, what's the principle?"

"boom."

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Jiang Li flew off his horse, and by chance, Jiang Po also came over. The moment he saw Jiang Li, he breathed a sigh of relief and came to ask.

"How are things going?"

"Fortunately, dad...I need to find out more about the material matters discussed with you before, otherwise I don't feel relieved."

Jiang Po expressed his understanding, turned around and walked in front, "Come here."

After returning to the room on the mountain through the secret passage, Jiang Po sat opposite him with a calm expression, "Presumably, General Zhen Guo has already told you about the size of the army, right?"

Jiang Li nodded solemnly, "He said that he holds one-third of the army, but because the army is too concentrated, he needs to transfer the army to other cities to disperse and balance between regions. years or so."

"But I want to know, Dad, you said that the chance of winning is [-]%, besides the one-third of the troops, what do we have now?" Jiang Lie frowned and asked.

This is also a question he has been thinking about along the way. Could it be that Jiang Po still has other troops in his hands?

Jiang Po smiled faintly, "You forgot that I told you that as early as eight years ago, after my strength entered the recovery state, I have actually been planning this matter, especially in the past two years, I have traveled a lot."

"Because as far as the entire continent is concerned, the Star Luo Empire is located at the southern tip of the continent, and its latitude is low. Especially the southernmost tip of our empire is the Chihe Desert, which forms two extremes with the extreme north of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Jiang Lie nodded, "I know this. The extreme north of Tiandou is located at the northernmost tip of the mainland, the temperature is extremely low, and it is snowstorms all the year round. It is basically a no-man's land, so the local spirit beasts are rampant. Very dangerous."

"Since you understand, then I don't need to say more. It is the same as Tiandou's extreme northern land. The Chihe Desert is at the southernmost point of the Star Luo Empire. Its specific location is two hundred kilometers behind the Star Luo City. It is also the last place of the Xingluo Imperial Family."

"It's dry and hot all year round. Although there are still soul masters living there, the number of permanent residents is significantly smaller than that of a livable city with a pleasant climate."

"Combined with the harsh local climate, it is not suitable for the expansion of various construction sites at all. The economy and the scale of soul masters are also very weak. The Xingluo royal family rarely interferes with that place and neglects management. Especially in the past hundred years, almost It is developing indulgently, and the army is stationed there only once in ten years to conduct inspections.”

Jiang Lie froze for a moment, then was startled, "So, Dad, you don't mean to say that you took that place for yourself, did you?!"

"Smart." Jiang Po was taken aback by surprise, and nodded with a smile.

"The people in that place are actually very easy to control. Because of the empire's indifference, the local people have no concept of the empire at all. Most of them just want to live, or become soul masters, and migrate to other cities in the empire to seek revenge. develop."

"It took me about half a year to convince them of me, but I didn't reveal my identity. Instead, I set up a few temporary teams in the local area through my friends, with about [-] soul masters, to conduct some military activities. base construction."

"Two years have passed now, and it can be regarded as a small achievement. At the same time, some powerful local soul masters have also joined the army."

"But……"

Jiang Lie scratched his head, "Such a small force, now it's up to two thousand..."

Two thousand... In front of a huge army of millions of soldiers, it almost turned into scum every minute...

"That's not the most important thing."

Jiang Po smiled confidently, "Did you forget what I said just now, the most developed thing in Chihe Desert is not the local soul masters, but... soul beasts."

"Soul beast!"

Jiang Lie was startled, "That's right, I almost forgot that the Chihe Desert is the same as the Extreme North. Because of the climate and terrain, there are fewer humans and more spirit beasts."

"Especially in those core areas, almost no humans can survive."

Jiang Po smiled lightly, "What if I say that 70.00% of the local soul beasts have been subdued by me, and even formed into my soul beast alliance army?"
