Chapter 859: The Shu King’s Vein

The madness caused by the Sacred Armor soldiers in Zhuque City did not have much impact. Although this incident was like a leaking colander, it had spread throughout the streets and alleys, and was known to everyone, but it was not affected much in the five major legions.

On December 28th, the third day of the countdown to 558, the first batch of prisoners of war who were about to join the Panlong Legion arrived in the Sichuan Valley, with the number of troops reaching tens of thousands.

The temporary campus outside the city of Sichuan, with densely packed tents, is an empty flat ground, with tens of thousands of soldiers arranged in a group of hundreds of square formations. As the saying goes, tens of thousands of people are covered with the sky. Looking down from the dot platform, people are like mountains and seas, densely packed.

Most of the main generals of the Panlong Legion, including Liang Hongyu, Qin Liangyu, etc., have rushed to Zhuque City, and the only ones who are staying in the Panlong Legion are Wu Zixu and Sun Bin. On the general stage, Wu Zixu and Sun Bin, surrounded by a group of generals, went to the general stage and overlooked the entire schoolyard.

"It seems that this group of soldiers is very good. They stand in a neat manner and are as motionless as a mountain. Unfortunately, the killing aura is weaker, and the momentum is not formed!" Wu Zixu swept over the army formation and commented.

Sun Bin smiled faintly and said, "It's not just good. I'm a special trip to Xiangyang City. After competing with other legions, I was allowed to select 20,000 people first! The soldiers standing here are at least seven years old, and most of them are from the Imperial Army and the three major legions of Youzhou!"

"Don't look at them not having much killing energy now. As long as they are trained, these people will be powerful weapons on the battlefield. But now, this army has no soul yet, so it looks unsatisfactory! In just three months, I can turn them into an unparalleled strong army!"

Sun Bin said confidently that Sun Bin and Wu Zixu had always served as military advisor of the Panlong Legion. Although the two were responsible for the entire army's action plan, they did not lead the troops directly. It was not that the two did not want to lead the troops, but that there were no suitable soldiers to lead them.

The Panlong Legion's divisions had their own chief generals, and although the local troops were suitable for the troops, most of them were untrained hunters and young men. It would undoubtedly take three to five years to train a strong army.

Due to various reasons, Sun Bin and Wu Zixu had never been able to lead the army alone, but this time it was undoubtedly a good opportunity. Most of the prisoners of war exchanged from the Tang army were soldiers who had experienced battles, and these soldiers were the most elite part of the empire. If it weren't for the new emperor of the empire, the prince turned against him, causing the disaster of Xiao Jiang and his own martial arts, these soldiers would not be so easy to be captured.

However, it is obviously not that easy to conquer this army. The chaos of the empire, the confrontation between the prince and the new emperor, most of the commanders in the army were brutally cleansed, leaving the soldiers out of chaos and do not know who they are loyal to. This kind of confusion is undoubtedly the biggest killer of a strong army.

Sun Bin didn't say anything on the stage. After standing for a few minutes, he announced his disbandment, which made the generals not know what to do.

"What do you plan to do? The combat power of this army is not a problem. You have been well-off these days, but it is not easy to restore their energy and spirit!" Wu Zixu naturally also saw what the biggest problem of this army was. Soldiers who lost their faith were undoubtedly the most tragic. The glory they always thought had collapsed.

"Haha, the mountain man has his own tricks, but he still needs to wait. Fortunately, there is no hurry now, we still have time to do these things!" Sun Bin said.

In Zhuque City, the military envoy's mansion, and the backyard, Leng Zhuo looked at the latest information sent from Shuzhou, but threw it aside with scattered words: "It seems we have to wait a little longer!"

Liang Hongyu picked up the information on the table and swept it up, but Leng Zhuo said, "How about it, Linglong armor is still in your body!"

There are many female generals around Leng Zhuo, including Liang Hongyu, Qin Liangyu, Long Wushuang, Baishuang, Sophia, You Ji, and Nanfengling. These women all lead the female guard camp and even command a legion. In addition, Nangong Yuhu, Beicheng Bing Xin, and even Wei Zhilan all want one. Although they do not lead the troops, this does not prevent them from wanting it. Moreover, it is not good for Leng Zhuo not to give it to anyone. Fortunately, this Linglong armor is not short. Even if one or two sets are missing, it is not a big problem.

"Yeah, it works very well, and it's very comfortable to wear on your body!"

"This King of Shu is a talented person!" After a while, Liang Hongyu, who had read the information, finally spoke.

Leng Zhuo nodded and said, "The Shu King's lineage is indeed an anomaly. I thought that the peaceful environment in Shu would wipe out the Shu King's lineage, but who would have thought that the Shu King, who is usually not visible and uncovered, would be so thunderous when he took action. Moreover, the Shu King's appeal in Shuzhou is too strong. I didn't expect that those nobles would support him so much!"

The information was just coming from the capital of the Dazhou in Shuzhong, Tianfu City. This big city located between Tianhe and Guihuachuan is the largest super city with the largest population and area in Shuzhou. Its size is not as large as that of Chang'an in ancient times and the imperial capital today.

Shuzhou Chengping, the land of the Nine Palaces, the grain was ripe three times a year, and there were few chaos for hundreds of years. This led to the population of the Nine Palaces of Shuzhou and the population of Sichuan was no less than billions, which also led to the dense population of Shuzhou and Sichuan and many large cities.

The Shu King's lineage is very ancient, and can be traced back to the second emperor of the empire. At that time, the Shu King was the most powerful heir to the throne. However, when the old emperor was dying, he was named King of Shu and was sent to a remote place in disguise. After that, the Shu King's lineage never left the Nine Palaces of Sichuan again.

A hundred years ago, during the rebellion of the kings, the King of Shu supported Emperor Shenwu and provided money and food, which played a huge role in Emperor Shenwu's redefining the nine provinces. In that turmoil, the King of Shu was not dismissed, but was deeply favored. However, the King of Shu seemed to be very low-key. After a blister, it fell into water again. It can be said that the King of Shu was the best at enduring.

But low-key does not mean that the Shu King's lineage has no influence in Shuzhou. On the contrary, this Shu King's Mansion, which is usually not visible, is quite influential in Shuzhou. When the Holy Sect army crossed Pingyangchuan and entered Xiping Prefecture, the Shu King's lineage finally stood up in this hinterland of Sichuan.

As soon as the King of Shu stood up and called out, all the nobles of Sichuan and the nine prefectures in Sichuan responded. Even the commanders of the three major legions of Shuzhou were willing to accept the commander of the King of Shu. It can be said that Shuzhou had a powerful party at once. The current King of Shu is only forty years old, but he is the grandfather of the new emperor. It can be said that this prince's weight is no worse than the other grandchildren.

The soldiers and horses in Shuzhou include pussy goods like three major legions, and elite soldiers such as nobles. As soon as the King of Shu stood up, the nobles dispatched their elite troops to gather in the city of Tianfu. Don’t underestimate the nobles in Shuzhou. Perhaps a Shuzhou nobleman has more than two or three thousand soldiers and as few as five or six hundred, but there are many nobles in Shuzhou!

The land of Shuzhou is divided into nine inner palaces and nine outer palaces. The nine inner palaces are the current nine Sichuan palaces. The nine outer palaces refer to the areas where the chieftains are autonomous. Although they are divided into nine imperial officials, they do not have imperial officials and are all ruled by chieftains. Although the chieftains are enfeoffed by the empire, they often have friction with the nine inner palaces, and the chieftains are constantly attacking.

While Shuzhou was peaceful, Shuzhou was also the most chaotic place in the empire. Because of the chieftain, Shuzhou had a large number of nobles, and all of them were elite soldiers under his command. Most of the private soldiers were passed down for generations and dozens of generations.

This power is usually scattered on the vast territory between the inner nine palaces and the outer nine palaces. In normal times, everyone only knows that the three major legions of Shuzhou are not many people pay attention to this scattered noble private soldiers. However, when the King of Shu climbed up and shouted, the power revealed by Shuzhou made Leng Zhuo frightened.

In a short period of time, the five hundred nobles in Shuzhou gathered no less than 300,000 elite troops to take over the defense of the nine nobles along the borders of the nine nobles. As soon as this force was put in, the progress of the Holy Sect army was immediately stopped. Moreover, the momentum that had been unstoppable along the way also hit a wall one after another, defeating the elite nobles under the front of the front.

Taking Shuzhou as a piece of meat on a chopping board can be said to be the biggest mistake, and Leng Zhuo's way into Shuchuan seems to be full of twists and turns.

"It seems that the time to enter Shu is delayed, but this is fine. Shuzhou lets the Holy Sect fight, so we just need to hurry up and rest and watch the tiger fight!" The situation in Shuzhou has stabilized, and Leng Zhuo is no longer anxious. Now Leng Zhuo is a little worried about the Holy Sect.

"Well, after two years of war, the place in Chuzhou is shattered, and the harvest this year has decreased, and the support army is already in short supply to fight, so it's good to take a breath, but the two prefectures in Chuxi cannot take it back immediately!" Liang Hongyu said.

"It will be brought back sooner or later. The most important thing now is to reorganize the armies. This time, how to integrate into the army is the key! Your Panlong Legion has received a lot of prisoners of war this time, and the Panlong Legion has a weak foundation. If you want to complete the integration, you can go a long way!"

The empire spent unconsciously in chaos and comfort in 558. Because of the stable situation, Chuzhou finally passed a year, and it entered 559. As the rolling water of the sky flowed continuously, winter passed and spring came again.

The exchange with the Tang Dynasty in the north ended in February. When the last batch of prisoners of war set foot on the land of Chuzhou, more than 440,000 captured emperors were absorbed by the five major legions of Chuzhou.

As spring blooms, Mingyue, who had returned to Beijing last autumn, went south again. The Beicheng family secretly separated. Mingyue, Mingyue, took some of the Beicheng family members to sail south, and the secret forces of the Beicheng family also began to go south. At the same time, the Ximen family also sent a team of people. Although the Ximen family did not have much interaction with the Leng family, Ximen Chuxue had a good relationship with the Leng family, and Ximen Chuxue's daughter was the next head of the Ximen family whom the Ximen family had hoped for. Naturally, the Ximen family was also related to the Leng family.

This time, in addition to the private personalities of the two families, the Duke of Wei also led the emperor to go south. At the same time, the imperial princess Situ Xue also left the palace and went south to Yangzhou. An open and secret struggle had quietly begun.
