Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Those who raise their heads to rebel out of impulse or will can only be called rogues and bandits.

What Longcheng wants is not bandits, but a rebellion with a strategy, a layout, and a promising future.

Bai Shuai had promised him an excellent prospect. He would use the Hushan Shenwei Army in Liangzhou as the main force and absorb the unruly people as soldiers. In a short period of time, he could increase the number of troops by 100,000 or more. Although it was not as good as elite troops, it would be enough. Bluffing.

Their purpose is not to cause trouble in Liangzhou, but to attack from both sides with the Pudu Sect, and then cooperate with the outside world to capture Lingwu City, known as the gateway to the three states in the North, so as to gain strategic initiative.

With Lingwu City, known as the gateway of the three states, with developed water systems, convenient transportation, strong folk customs, and extremely rich people, we can use this as an opportunity to attack Jizhou and Yanzhou respectively, or choose one.

Bai Shuai also has his own preparations in Jizhou and Yanzhou. The other four armies mentioned by the hook-nosed man will join forces with the Shenwei Army at this time. Not to mention destroying the dead, they can also greatly promote the attack on the city. land efficiency.

In the most ideal situation, Bai Shuai and his group hope to take the entire northern land into their hands.

If the three northern states are included in the palm, they can become kings and hegemons. After all, among them are Jizhou and Yanzhou, two of the nine ancient states. They are rich and prosperous, and they have great potential to compete for world hegemony.

Even if this most perfect goal cannot be achieved, according to Longcheng's plan, Lingwu City can be used as the foundation to advance to the three places to form a local separatist regime with Lingwu City as the base, and compete with other capable forces in the north. The earth is competing for the possibility of the King of the North.

All in all, everything is based on the situation that Lingwu City can be captured, and the risk is low and the reward is extremely high. There is no reason for Longcheng not to take a gamble, and even betray the big shot who once cultivated it within the organization, and invest in Baidu. Under the Shuai Menting, it can be considered a semi-cooperative, semi-subordinate state.

But now, the Shenwei Army has been captured, and there is no one in Liangzhou. In addition, although Liangzhou still has four armies, it is basically impossible to cause any splash when each has a powerful person in charge.

Not only was there no future, but it was also extremely dangerous. He didn't even want the position of general to be given to Longcheng.

"Hey, Longcheng, don't be so absolute. Since Meng Zhao can take away our Shenwei Army, why can't we take away his Yangwu Army?

Compared to the Yangwu Army, what is the Divine Power Army? "

This is also true. Not talking about manpower, but just talking about the quality of the soldiers, it is a huge difference.

The Shenwei Army actually recruited ordinary people at the beginning. They used the military's secret methods, combined with resources, and time to build elite soldiers bit by bit. Although they were strong, they were not very powerful.

The Yangwu Army is different. This is the first army established in Lingwu City in more than a hundred years. It comes from disciples of various large and small families in the city. They are also experts in martial arts. There are countless acquired realms. , there are many congenital ones.

If the Shenwei Army can be expanded to 100,000 troops, then using the current Yangwu Army as the basic skeleton, it is more than enough to expand the army to 500,000 troops. The premise is that the troops and logistics can support such a large army.

That's all, the Yangwu Army is a serious establishment of the imperial court, and the resources, equipment, and benefits it enjoys are far beyond what the Shenwei Army can match.

If the two were really brought together for a sparring match, it would be the Shenwei Army that would be defeated, not the Yangwu Army, even if the former had been established longer and had been training for longer, while the latter had only been established not long ago.

If people were asked to choose, of course they would choose to be a mighty general, not a mighty general.

But Longcheng was also a great man of his generation. Meng Zhaodu had to admit this. How could he be swayed by his few words?

"You put it lightly. You think Meng Zhao is far away in Liangzhou and there is no one in the Yangwu army, so he can do the same thing as him? You and Bai Shuai think too simply."

Longcheng directly denied it without giving any face, saying that the Divine Power Army and the Yangwu Army were completely different situations. To usurp the Yangwu Army like Meng Zhao usurped the Divine Power Army, in his opinion, was simply a fantasy, and there was no chance of success at all. There is no possibility.

There are many factors involved.

First, the Divine Power Army is located in the mountains, has a simple structure, and is very little affected by external factors.

Meng Zhao didn't pretend to be a bigot and just knock on the door and force people to surrender. Instead, he first relied on his identity as the son-in-law of the Danchi clan and brought five thousand soldiers and horses to become his own. After a period of adjustment, he took advantage of Su Hongtu's advantage. At this critical moment when the evil soldiers broke through the limits, they surrendered to the middle and higher-ups of the army in one fell swoop, achieving a feat that seemed impossible to ordinary people.

This is an indispensable miracle of the right time, right place and right people. Even Longcheng is not even 30% sure that it can achieve this. Therefore, even if he hates Meng Zhao and wishes to cut this man into pieces, he still has to admire him. , I have to admit his awesomeness.

But Yangwujun is different.

This was a government army established with the approval of the Ministry of War of the imperial court. It was registered in the Yonglong Court and the military headquarters. The position of General Yangwu initially involved a battle, which ended with Meng Zhao's victory.

If you want to steal the position of General Yangwu, the most critical point is to get the recognition of the court. This is Dragon City, and there are many grassroots shortcomings. It is completely different from a noble disciple like Meng Zhao.

Secondly, the internal affairs of the Yangwu Army can be said to be intricate and closely related to local aristocratic families, sects, powerful men, and gangs. There are so many forces involved that even Longcheng cannot fathom them.

Meng Zhao's ability to control such a large army largely relied on his reputation, his status as a son of the Meng family, his family's military power, and the support of local forces.

The support of local forces also comes from two aspects.

First, Meng Zhao himself has huge power radiation here, and is a super-class existence. Just annexing the Iron Hand Society has established the size of the Meng family, not to mention the Meng family that is constantly developing and growing?

At the same time, Meng Zhao also actively cultivated relationships and made good friends with people of all sizes, even subordinates of the Thirteen Families, and established relationships that ordinary people could not do.

Second, Meng Zhao is also a weird person. He took the daughters of three families in the Lingwu City Family Alliance as concubines, forming an in-law relationship, and gained the acceptance and support of the local family, thus completely solving his worries.

These preparations are no longer comparable to Dragon City.

When Longcheng came up with these factors one by one, the hook-nosed man was a little confused. He really didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns.

As an army, the Shenwei Army is relatively pure, but purity also means that it is easy to capture.

The Yangwu Army is too mixed. Although mixed is not a good thing, from the perspective of involvement, it also prevents some ambitious people from trying to usurp military power.

Only Meng Zhao, and only Meng Zhao, can truly control the Yangwu Army.

"Well, since we can't seize the military power, why not just use up the Yangwu army, which is impossible?"

Long Cheng had no choice but to press his temples on both sides and sighed,

"It is impossible to consume the Yangwu Army. The only one who can command the Yangwu Army now is Meng Zhao, and with the support of various forces in the city, even if the Pudu Sect comes to attack and defend according to the city, it is enough to have no worries. What is the use of it? "
