Cultivating immortals, starting from immortality, bright moon toast together

“Okay, then it’s up to you.”

Cui Zhifu nodded, and his heart was quite satisfied.

For Lu Yuan’s ability to lead troops, he still trusted him.

After all, it was this person who led the troops to quell the Wugang chaos and suppress the Miao rebellion.

These are all real merits, and they cannot be fake.

Then the two discussed some more, mainly on how much money to give, how many times to allocate it, and which soldiers to recruit.

Lu Yuan naturally asked to give more money, and he had to pay earlier. This time, Cui Zhifu said that it would deal with it as soon as possible.

And in terms of the source of troops, it is naturally the same old way, recruiting some hunters in the mountains.

Anyway, in the mountainous area of Shaoyang Mansion, the most lacking thing is these brave mountain people.

It wasn’t until nearly noon that all of these issues were finally finalized.

Cui Changqing left Lu Yuan for another meal, and then let people leave.

Back in the mansion, Lu Yuan asked people to call Liang Hu, and the people arrived quickly.

“Sir, are you looking for me?” Liang Hu saluted.

“Lord Prefect asked me to recruit another six hundred soldiers, and I plan to leave this matter to you.”

Lu Yuan looked at this Liang Hu and ordered: “People still recruit those mountain people, with young people and good shooting skills as the priority.” ”

“Don’t worry, my lord, there is a lot of chaos outside, and the people below are not having a good time. I don’t know how many want to become soldiers and find a way out. In less than ten days, I’ll help you recruit people. Liang Hu replied in a loud voice.

This old man who is an official fan has become more and more energetic since he became a patrol. After working on military affairs, he didn’t even see that he was old, but his face was rosy.

Last year, he even took a concubine, and at the age of forty-seven, he was not afraid of being squeezed dry by that little lady’s skin.

Not long ago, I heard that the concubine also gave him a big fat son, which made this old man happy, and sent joy candy to Lu Yuan.

“Well, go ahead. I don’t worry about having you to do things. Lu Yuan nodded and waved for people to retreat.

After explaining the recruitment, Lu Yuan continued to stay at home in the next few days.

Today’s meeting and conversation with Cui Changqing gave him a wake-up call.

Now the country of Dayue is becoming more and more declining, and no one knows when it will be over, when there will be no master in the world, and the dragons will chase the deer, I am afraid that there will really be no peace.

At that time, even if it is Lu Yuan, it does not mean that he can hide, he can hide from it.

After all, even if he cultivated now, he would need a lot of medicinal materials to assist. As long as you buy medicinal materials, you must have contact with the outside world.

This world is chaotic, and even it will have an impact on his cultivation.

Unless he can wholeheartedly hide in the mountains, stay for decades and not come out, after shrinking this period, wait for the world to be peaceful, and then escape the world.

However, this choice is only the lowest for Lu Yuan. If it is not a last resort, it will never be chosen.

“Troubled times may be chaotic, but they also represent opportunities. I can’t be spared, can those gangs with big businesses be spared? ”

Lu Yuan thought of the mental method that he was gradually practicing to the end now, and his eyes couldn’t help but show a trace of coldness.

Kill in troubled times.

The order of the world has collapsed, and for him, it is not a bad thing.

“After all, strength in troubled times is respected. With enough strength, no one will care if you kill many people. ”

Today, Dayue’s still stable situation is actually a protection for Lu Yuan. But on the other hand, it is also a constraint on him.

With the imperial court pressing, even if Lu Yuan wants to go to those big factions to kill people and grab merit, he must worry about the risk of being pursued and killed by the rivers and lakes and the imperial court.

But the imperial court is gone, no one maintains order, everyone takes care of their own, and many things that could not be done originally have no restrictions.

For example, leading troops *** lake gangs.

If there is an imperial court, and the unauthorized transfer of troops is a rebellion.

But without the imperial court, the thousand soldiers and horses under Lu Yuan would not have listened to him.

Do whatever you want.

“This military training, it’s time to grasp it well.” Lu Yuan thought so.

Originally, he was going to train a hundred personal soldiers, but now it seems that this quota may be increased to two hundred or even four hundred.

Although this will make his annual expenses thousands of taels of silver.

But thinking of the benefits cultivated by these personal soldiers, this little effort is nothing.

“Then it was decided.”

The tone set, Lu Yuan’s mood was much better.

The big more fell and fed himself.

This time, he will take advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to eat well, and it is best to eat.

A few days later, Liang Hu, who was in charge of recruitment, returned to Fucheng with six hundred men who had just been recruited from the mountains.

Lu Yuan personally returned to the barracks to receive it.

When it was confirmed that these recruits were about fifteen to twenty years old, after the strongest plasticity.

He couldn’t help nodding in satisfaction, and then turned to Liang Hu and said, “You did a good job in this matter, go to the silver room to receive fifty taels of silver, this is your reward.” ”

After taking two months’ salary at once, Liang Hu suddenly blossomed with joy, and thanked him again and again: “Lord Xie rewarded.” ”

Then, he went to get the silver.

Now this old man Liang has a wife and a concubine, three children below, plus five servants. That’s a lot of money every month.

Even if it is twenty-five taels of silver a month, the decent life you want to live is still tight.

Now he can get fifty taels of silver, which is enough for his whole family to moisturize for a long time.

……

After receiving the recruits, Lu Yuan did not return home, but stayed in the barracks, where he personally supervised the training of the recruits.

In fact, he will not train troops, and the various queue flags in the barracks have their own special people to be responsible.

Lu Yuan stayed, mainly to let these recruits know who was the boss, who gave them money, and who should listen to them in the future.

To put it simply, it is to let these big-headed soldiers recognize the Lord and know who their surname is.

However, although he did not interfere in the training, Lu Yuan still selected two hundred and fifty people from among the recruits and veterans.

Together with the fifty-man pro-soldier team recruited earlier, a three-hundred-man barracks was built.

After passing on the exercises to these two hundred and fifty soldiers, Lu Yuan spent two days teaching. Then let the old soldiers take five of them and be responsible for teaching those who come after.

After practicing like this for a month, these selected soldiers have all gained a lot, and some of them have good talents, and they have even trained their internal strength.

This made Lu Yuan couldn’t help but be surprised, and he even thought in his heart whether to pick a few more good seedlings from them and accept them as named disciples.

After all, the first-class masters of the rivers and lakes, there is only one true disciple and five named disciples under him, which is really a little chilling.

However, although he was moved, he did not directly put it into action.

Instead, he was ready to take another look, and when these seedlings behaved better, they would emerge from the crowd of pro-soldiers, and then accept them as named disciples.

In this way, you can not only harvest disciples, but also use their deeds to motivate those recruits and make them practice martial arts more diligently.

Wouldn’t it be beautiful to kill two birds with one stone.

Just when Lu Yuan’s military training was hot, in October, news came from Xichuan County. After being besieged by the Shu army for two months, the city of Xichuan County finally could not hold on and was broken by the Shu army.

That Western Shu emperor Li Xiong directly set the capital in Xichuan County, and even re-engaged in a heavenly sacrifice, once again swearing his hegemony over Xichuan County.

Then the Western Shu army raised 100,000 troops, marched eastward, and successively attacked the two remaining provinces of the imperial court in Xichuan.

Until he was in Wushan Prefecture, because the imperial court urgently transferred a group of reinforcements from Dongting County, and then relied on the local terrain, he barely blocked the Xishu army and kept the last capital of Xichuan County.

But even so, nine of the ten prefectures of Xichuan were occupied by the Shu state, and most of Xichuan County fell.

In the face of Western Shu, which has been called the establishment of the country and is in full swing, the imperial court wants to retake Xichuan County from this traitor, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

However, as a martial artist of the rivers and lakes, Lu Yuan has the news that the city of Xichuan County has fallen and Xichuan County has been lost. Although he was also shocked, he was more concerned about the details of the destruction of the county.

“The imperial court was originally in the city of Xichuan County, and there were 20,000 elite soldiers stationed there.

Later, he urgently requisitioned the men in the city, and gathered enough 50,000 defenders, and there was no shortage of money and food, which could feed the defenders for more than a year, enough to wait until the imperial court sent reinforcements next year.

However, the result of this battle was that the defenders only lasted two months and were breached into the city. It’s just too weird. ”

Although the morale of the defenders plummeted, there were many examples of cities easily taken.

But Lu Yuan always felt that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court of Xichuan County should not be like this.

There must be problems that others don’t know about.

Sure enough, just when he felt that something was wrong, Cui Changqing came over again.

“Li Xiong, the pseudo-emperor of the Shu thief, was promoted to innate three months ago, and then personally put on armor and attacked the city of Xichuan County.”

Cui Zhifu’s first words made Lu Yuan’s heart shock.

Li Xiong was actually promoted congenitally?

Hearing this news, he felt a sudden in his heart.

No wonder, no wonder.

The innate master martial arts Tongxuan, in the martial arts can be called a generation of grandmasters. Such characters are enough to break the army alone, even in the face of the 10,000-person army array, they can also come and go freely.

If a congenital master steals the city, then it is not unusual for the city of Xichuan County to be breached.

After all, the Xichuan Army is only a remote border county of Dayue, although it is rich, but because of the closed terrain, the martial wind is not prosperous, and a congenital grandmaster has never been born.

‘Now that Li Xiong has been promoted innately, should it be said that the times create heroes, or heroes create the times? Lu Yuan sighed in his heart, and he couldn’t help but feel a little envious.

Others have become innate and become emperors.

But now that he has gone through more than ten years, he is still only a senior first-class, and he doesn’t even have further exercises later, let alone the innate realm.

Even Li Xiong’s path showed him a direction.

‘Maybe I can also try to rebel and claim the emperor, and then lead the army to plunder all the way, so that maybe in a few years, I can also become a congenital?’ ’

Li Xiong was able to break through the innate so quickly, and Lu Yuan did not believe that the other party was a genius.

There are many talents in the world, and I haven’t seen a few who can break through the innate?

Therefore, Li Xiong was able to break through so quickly, most of them still rebelled, and he has caught something good in recent years. Just like the blood jade centipede that Lu Yuan got at the beginning.

With this kind of divine blood heterogeneity, it can break through the realm one after another in a short period of time, and achieve innate all the way.

This kind of routine of killing people and robbing treasures is more in line with normal logic.

And it is precisely because of this experience that Lu Yuan sees this road again, and Li Xiong, who is farther away, will be so fiery.

Because success stories are just around the corner, it’s hard not to get others to follow suit.

‘No, directly rebelling against the emperor is too eye-catching. That is equivalent to walking directly from the back to the front desk and attracting the attention of the world. This is not conducive to my lewd developmental strategy. Lu Yuan used great perseverance to suppress this somewhat crazy thought.

The gun shot out the head bird, Li Xiong was declared the emperor, and broke through the innate.

But his actions will undoubtedly attract crazy retaliation from the Great Yue Imperial Court.

Although the world of Dayue, many places have been destroyed.

But even if you only rely on the residual strength to defeat a Western Shu traitor, it is still not a problem.

As for innate?

If nothing else, let’s just say that the current Dongting County, but there is a congenital grandmaster pressing?

I have to say that the Lord Lieutenant who has innate strength in the county is also one of the reasons why Lu Yuan does not dare to rebel.

Because it’s too close.

If his side dares to rebel, tomorrow the captain will dare to kill him, and directly take his own first rank from among the ten thousand troops.

Don’t doubt the strength of the innate grandmaster, whether it can do this.

In the past, too many unfortunate people have died because of this, and Lu Yuan does not want to be the next example to warn future generations.

All kinds of thoughts surged in his heart, and Cui Changqing next to him continued: “Xichuan County is lost, and my Dongting County will face the Shu thief directly. Therefore, the county guard ordered, I and other prefectures and localities, should immediately train the township bravery, form a vigilante group, and guard the locality.

So I decided that in addition to the 1,000 Fu soldiers originally recruited, another 5,000 Xiangyong were recruited on the Fucheng side, and the rest of the counties also recruited 1,000 people, so that counting the Fu soldiers, I could get 15,000 people.

In addition to the government soldiers, these villagers are brave farmers for the people, soldiers in their leisure time, practice endlessly, and guard the countryside.

You are the commander of the palace and the head of the military attaché, so you should be responsible for this matter. ”

It seems that the establishment of the Xichuan Shu Kingdom really gave this prefect great pressure and shock. At this time, he changed his conservative style and radically began to recruit so many sergeants.

You know, even if it is a peasant soldier, for a small mountainous province with a population of only more than 200,000, it is also a great burden to recruit 15,000 people at once.

In this regard, Lu Yuan naturally had no objections, and readily agreed: “No problem, this matter will be left to me.” ”

As a commander, the more soldiers and horses in the palace, the stronger his strength and power.

As for the highest military and political chief of a prefecture is Cui Changqing, nominally all soldiers and horses are under the control of this prefect, and he is only a subordinate problem?

A civilian official, when the time comes, really pass on the order, the army will not carry it out, and will he not be allowed to nod his own commander?

Of course, if you really disobey, it is almost like rebellion.

Because of Sun Siwen’s relationship, Lu Yuan and Cui Changqing still get along quite well, and he will not do this when he is not necessary.

But after giving the order, Lu Yuan still subconsciously asked: “Lord Cui, in addition to our province, do other provinces in the territory also want to recruit Xiangyong?” ”

Cui Changqing nodded and said, “Not bad.” The county guard decided that in order to resist the invasion of Shu thieves, it was also for the sake of suppressing the rebellion. It is estimated that a total of 200,000 troops will be recruited in the ten provinces of the county for national use. ”

An army of 200,000…

Hearing this number, Lu Yuan was silent, and then he became more and more firm about his idea of being a obedient and good official of the imperial court.

Just in Dongting County, there are 200,000 troops.

Faced with such a scale, even if he completely controlled the fifteen thousand troops of Shaoyang Mansion, he would not be able to turn over the storm at all.

Not to mention, there must be other armies of the imperial court transferred in the follow-up, which is even more terrifying.

Facing the imperial court, which has been driven crazy…

Can’t afford to mess with, really can’t mess with.

Just compared the strength of the two sides, Lu Yuan was decisive.

How good is the peace of the world’s wife, always thinking about what to rebel for?

As a good official with a strong heart, he felt that it was necessary to contribute to the stability of the place.

……

Just when Lu Yuan made up his mind to be a good official and began to actively train troops, on the other side, his good apprentice also made a choice that would affect his life.

Dongting County, Tianmen Province.

The mighty river, like a running dragon, flows eastward.

A building ship floated on the river, hazy and looming in the fog.

Zhou Qing sat on the bow deck, took out a coarse cloth, and wiped the sword in his hand. After two wipes, the coarse cloth stained red with blood is thrown away, and the sword is sheathed.

Suddenly, the wind blew over, and the strong smell of blood hit the nose.

I saw that on the deck in the distance, scattered corpses were spread on the ground, and a large amount of blood had stained the deck red.

However, for all this, Zhou Qing was not different, still calm, just turned his head to the side, and another sitting figure asked: “Brother Guo, are you really sure that you want to return to Xichuan?” ”

The figure next to him was named Guo Yunshan, a young man in his twenties, dressed in blue clothes, handsome in appearance, but at this time, his expression was a little bitter and gloomy, which greatly reduced his temperament.

At this time, hearing the inquiry, he nodded and said, “Good, I’m going back.” ”

Zhou Qing frowned, “Now Xichuan has been captured by the Shu thieves, and the Shu thief emperor Li Xiong is the enemy of your entire family.” Now that you return to Xichuan and enter his territory, it is tantamount to entering the Longtan Tiger’s Den, and once discovered, then there will be no life in the Nine Deaths. ”

This friend he recognized these days is a famous martial arts family in Xichuan County and a direct descendant of the Guo family in Yuzhong.

Originally with this background, Guo Yunshan should be Jianghu Tianjiao.

But all this was ruined with the Qiang rebellion three years ago.

Just as Lu Yuan guessed.

Li Xiong was able to break through the innate in such a short period of time, relying on plundering the resources of various martial arts family sects and piling them up.

And the Yuzhong Guo family can become a martial arts family, in addition to the powerful exercises inherited, what is more important is that their family has mastered a divine blood xenomorph called the Green Blood Spirit Snake for generations.

Relying on this spirit snake, the Guo family has been able to produce geniuses from generation to generation, ensuring that the family has no shortage of first-class masters and maintaining wealth for thousands of years.

But also because of this, when the order is broken and the rebels call.

This kind of spirit snake also became the fuse for the demise of the Guo family.

Because Li Xiong, the emperor of the Shu thief, came to the door to ask for it.
