The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Gou Xi voluntarily surrendered his military power in order to save himself.

After the other three looked at each other, they also stood up, each holding a military token and a seal, and said to Duan Tianyang: "Sir, we are also willing to resign and return home."

Although they were extremely reluctant to give up their military power, they understood that power was insignificant compared to their lives.

Taking into account the lessons of Dong Zhi, An Qinshan and Fang Quan, they no longer dared to cling to power.

Duan Tianyang looked at the four of them, sighed softly and said, "It turns out that everyone wants to return home. Well, everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't force them. From now on, the Hongxing Army will be responsible for the daily expenses of the four generals. What do you think?"

After hearing this, the four of them thanked him in unison: "Thank you, sir!"

Duan Tianyang first eliminated Dong Zhi and An Qinshan through Fang Quan, and then took advantage of the situation to eliminate Fang Quan. This series of actions shocked the rebel generals such as Gou Xi, forcing them to surrender their military power to save their lives.

After this series of operations, the Hongxing Army was completely under Duan Tianyang's control, and all internal factional disputes were resolved.

If there are still factions left, the only one left is the Hung Hsing Society.

Duan Tianyang has demonstrated a profound strategy that is inconsistent with his age in eliminating dissent and potential threats.

It can be said that he played all the rebel leaders such as Dong Zhi, An Qinshan, and Fang Quan in the palm of his hand.

It effectively prevented the internal disintegration of the Hongxing Army and laid a solid foundation for the unity and growth of the entire army.

After taking over the rebel forces, he quickly set about completely reorganizing the Hongxing Army.

With the merger of Fang Quan's army and six other rebel forces including Dong Zhi and An Qinshan, the number of troops under Duan Tianyang's command increased to more than 500,000.

However, although Xiguan and Beiguan are vast in area, they are short of resources and cannot support such huge military expenditures, forcing him to optimize his military strength.

Duan Tianyang acted precisely, mainly targeting Fang Quan's army and the surrendered rebels. These forces totaled nearly 300,000, and were eventually reduced to more than 100,000, leaving only loyal elite men.

Afterwards, he cleverly dispersed these selected soldiers into various legions, achieving efficient integration of the army.

Eventually, the total strength of the Hongxing Army was reduced to 400,000 and redivided into four major corps.

Among them, the Second Corps was led by Xiao Fang; the Third Corps was commanded by Guan Hu; and the Fourth Corps was led by Zhao Xuan.

As for the crucial First Legion, since the ideal general has not yet been found, Duan Tianyang, as the commander-in-chief of the Hongxing Army, personally serves as the leader of the legion.

When the various legions were first established, the First and Second Legions were the most powerful. Most of their members were elite members of the Hongxing Army, who were battle-hardened and well-trained.

On the contrary, the Fourth Legion has the weakest combat power, and most of its members are former rebels.

Zhao Xuan had no complaints about this. After all, as a rebel, he was promoted to the commander of the Hongxing Army. Duan Tianyang's promotion of him was understandable.

In fact, Duan Tianyang did not intend to make things difficult for Zhao Xuan, but because among the generals of the Hongxing Army, only Zhao Xuan could be called a talented general.

The Fourth Army, which had a large number of rebels, was handed over to him for reorganization in order to help him build a strong army quickly.

It is worth noting that the cavalry units left by Fang Quanjun are also in the Fourth Corps, which is the only cavalry corps in the Hongxing Army.

Compared with the cavalry battalion led by Huang Guoan, it is much larger.

At this point, the Hongxing Army was officially established in the Divine Realm, with 400,000 soldiers.

Although Duan Tianyang was not granted the title of Lord of the Imperial City and was only Lord of a subsidiary city and Chief of the City Guards, he was already one of the most powerful people in the Divine Realm.

As the Hongxing Army became famous in the Divine Realm, Duan Tianyang's name also became known far and wide.

He began to become extremely busy. You know, the daily food, military pay, and equipment required for an army of 400,000 are all huge expenses.

Managing such a large army is not an easy task. The Hongxing Army claims to be a regular army and will not plunder civilians.

On this day, Duan Tianyang was discussing matters with the generals of the Hongxing Army in the City Lord's Mansion of Shengluo City.

Yan Bin rushed in, looked around, and whispered to Duan Tianyang: "Brother Tian, ​​something happened in Jinluo Town."

"What's the matter?" Duan Tianyang drank his tea calmly.

"The chief of Jinluo Town's guards was killed." Yan Bin said cautiously.

"Who did it?" Duan Tianyang put down his teacup suddenly, frowning.

"Fang Fengcheng, Fang Quan's nephew."

"Is he alone?"

"Yes."

"Who is this guy?" Duan Tianyang was puzzled. After all, the town guard chief he sent was a very powerful person and was accompanied by hundreds of elite soldiers. However, he was killed by this man alone. It was unbelievable.

Yan Bin whispered, "Fang Fengcheng studied under Tongtian Pavilion and was the last disciple of Tongtian Pavilion elder Yuan Yin. He was an outstanding martial artist and arrogant. Even Fang Quan couldn't control him. When Fang Quan went to Shengluo City, he was busy suppressing bandits in Qifeng Mountain and did not go with him. He must have learned of his uncle's death, so he took his anger out on the chief of the Jinluo Town Guard."

Duan Tianyang laughed out of anger when he heard this.

Yan Bin cleared his throat, hesitating to speak, and finally said: "After Fang Fengcheng killed the town guard chief, he also... threatened to come to Shengluo City to find Brother Tian and avenge his uncle."

Duan Tianyang sneered: "If he doesn't come to find me, I will go to find him. If you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again in the spring breeze. Fang Quan's nephew must not be allowed to stay!"

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Tieyi stood up and said, "Brother Tian, ​​leave Fang Feng's achievements to me. Within three days, I will bring his head to you!"

Zhang Yi stood up abruptly upon hearing this and shouted, "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? Brother Tian, ​​let me take his head. I am willing to file a complaint. If that fails, I will..."

Duan Tianyang interrupted him and said with a smile: "It's just to kill someone, why do you need to file a lawsuit?"

He thought about it, then said seriously: "Well, Zhang Yi, you take a thousand brothers to Jinluo Town. It would be best if you can capture him alive. If not, bringing back his body will be fine."

"I obey your command!" Zhang Yi's face was full of joy. He stepped in to salute, then bowed to Qiu Tieyi with a smile on his face, turned around and strode away.

Looking at Zhang Yi's back gradually walking away, Qiu Tieyi looked a little disappointed.

Duan Tianyang said: "Tieyi, you should stop running around during this period of time."

"What does Brother Tian want you to do?" Qiu Tieyi asked curiously.

Duan Tianyang said slowly: "There are many hidden warriors who have come to seek refuge recently. You have to examine them carefully and accept those with good cultivation into the Hidden Martial Hall."

As the branch of the Hongxing Society responsible for assassinations and murders, the Yinwu Hall has too few personnel and is in urgent need of expansion.

Hearing this, Qiu Tieyi smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brother Tian."

Duan Tianyang turned his gaze to Yan Bin and asked, "Yan Bin, is there any new news from the princess?"

Yan Bin replied, "Two days ago, my brother who went with the army sent back a letter saying that the princess had led her army to attack the Jin Kingdom's Taishan. There were 50,000 to 60,000 Jin troops stationed there, and the princess still had 80,000 soldiers under her command, minus the wounded."

Duan Tianyang frowned when he heard this, and was secretly worried.

He had seen the map of the entire Jin Kingdom and knew that Taishan was located in the heart of the Jin Kingdom. Before leaving, he gave Yi Shuirou many warnings, asking her to proceed steadily and not to rush into anything. But now it seems that Yi Shuirou did not take his warnings to heart.
