Zongwu: My business is to engage people

Chapter 45: An Army of One Hundred Thousands

After Jiang Yuan obtained the full-level Zixia Divine Art, the True Yang Purple Qi generated in his Dantian was a special ray of True Qi.

As long as Jiang Yuan completes the condensation of Gang Qi and reaches the peak of the second level, he can use this ray of true Yang purple energy as a guide to condense his own true energy and reach the first level.

【Ding】

【The big people in the sun are prosperous and prosperous, and the big people in the darkness are Shura and ghosts. Mission release: Become the top purple-level killer in the Bone Palace and be rewarded with a full-level immortal golden body. ]

Immortal golden body!

Jue Wushen's unique skill, a magical defensive skill that even Wuming in Heavenly Sword state couldn't defeat using Ten Thousand Swords Guizong. nice one.

Jiang Yuan let out a breath, cupped his fists and said to Qingmian,"Thank you very much.""

"This is the condition I promise you, no need to say thank you. Are you really planning to fight against Da Qi’s army? Not ready to leave the Land of Five Cities?"

"I have a reason to stay."

Qingmian nodded and did not ask any more questions. Everyone has their own secrets. This is the case for Jiang Yuan and the same for himself.

"Then be careful. As far as I know, there are many masters hidden in the Daqi army. There are several third-level masters alone, and it is rumored that there are also second-level masters in charge."

Jiang Yuan is not surprised. It would be a real surprise if there were no masters in Daqi's army. If a few martial arts masters randomly ran into the army and directly carried out a beheading operation, then there would be no need to fight this battle.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yuan asked Chu Wu to protect him in his bet.

"Thank you for reminding. Qingmian, I want to be promoted to a purple-level assassin, do you have a way?"

"Um? Qingmian said in surprise:"Why are you so keen on improving your assassin level? I don't think you are short of money.""

"Who said that it was better to support Dongzhou City in the past, but now there are hundreds of thousands of people in five cities waiting for food, and the money is completely insufficient!"

Qing Mian rolled his eyes at him, not believing it at all.

"There are ways, as long as you can afford the money, just find a purple-level killer to help you guarantee a purple-level mission. However, the purple-level mission is quite special, requiring at least the assassination of a second-grade warrior; there is no one to help you complete the mission this time, so you have to think clearly."

Second-grade warrior?

That's not a big problem.

Jiang Yuan said readily:"Okay, help me ask who is willing to guarantee it. Price is not an issue."

"good"

……

Time flies, three months have passed.

In the past three months, the Land of Five Cities has taken on a completely new look.

With the assistance of Yan Qing, Mu Hanyan quickly expanded the Dongzhou City model to the other four cities. For a time, the people's support was overwhelming and the model received rave reviews.

Dongzhou City, in the city lord's palace.

Han Tong, Yan Qing, Ran Lie and others stood proudly in the lobby, with their faces glowing and their backs straight.

Especially Han Tong and other four major city lords. In the past, when walking on the street, the people were afraid to dodge; now, as long as they go out on the street, everyone is enthusiastic, as if they regard themselves as saviors.

I was completely convinced by Jiang Yuan in my heart.

"Mr. Jiang has arrived."

As Jiang Yuan stepped into the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, everyone quickly bowed and bowed with fists in their hands.

"Meet Mr. Jiang. Jiang

Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile:"No need to be polite, just sit down.""

"Thank you Mr. Jiang. After Jiang

Yuan sat down, he looked up at Ran Lie and asked,"Ran Lie, how many troops have you recruited now?"

Ran Lie said excitedly:"There are almost 100,000 soldiers entering the camp, and 60,000 of them have begun to possess combat effectiveness after two months of training." The remaining 30,000 to 40,000 people are still new recruits who have just joined the army, but they only need a short period of training to form combat effectiveness."

"To be honest, looking at these 100,000 people now seems like a dream to me."

An army of 100,000 people!

Three months ago, Jiang Yuan said that 100,000 soldiers could be gathered in the land of five cities, but he still didn't believe it.

Yan Qing touched his beard, full of admiration.

"This is Mr. Jiang's new policy that has won the hearts of the people. As long as one member of a family enlists in the army, any tax for the family for ten years will be abolished. The people have been suffering from excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes for a long time. Now that their problems are solved, the people are enthusiastically joining the army."

"Master Jiang’s plan is so brilliant!

Han Tong laughed loudly and said:"Now I am walking in Black Cloud City, and many people are kneeling around me." Tsk tsk... To be honest, after being the city lord of Black Cloud City for so many years, I feel like I have only been acting like a city lord in the past two days. Jiang

Yuan said calmly:"The people are the foundation of a region. Only by considering their interests will they follow us.""

"Not bad"

"It was Mr. Jiang who had foresight."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then asked Mu Hanyan

"How are our food and armaments?"

Before, the other two city lords did this. Later, Yan Qing and Mu Hanyan took over. Those two guys had no ability in this area.

"There is enough food and grass to sustain an army of 100,000 for half a year. The grain and grass we purchased from other states are on their way by water, so there should be no big problem. Arms……"

Mu Hanyan looked at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing stood up and clasped his fists and bowed:"We have requisitioned all the blacksmith shops in the five cities. We have now made armors and weapons for 50,000 people. In addition to the original 10,000 combat soldiers, there are a total of 60,000 armored soldiers. Soldier."

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly.

"If it's not enough, continue to build it. At least 100,000 armored soldiers will be needed."

"Yes, I'll keep an eye on it."

Jiang Yuan nodded and took a deep breath.

"Now the five cities are developing in a good direction, but there is still a knife hanging over our heads, and that is the battle with Daqi. Now that the March period has arrived, I think Daqi will There's action"

"Ran Lie, I asked you to send scouts to investigate, what will be the result?

Ran Lie replied in a deep voice:"Three days ago, the 200,000 troops stationed in Daqi began to mobilize. According to the scouts, they may bypass the nearest Tiger Leaping City and go straight to Dongzhou City.""

"oh?"

Jiang Yuan sneered. He was planning to fight to decide the outcome! Completely destroy his lair.

"But we can find out who the leader of the other party is?"

"Daqi Dingbianhou Qi Wen.

Jiang Yuan asked in surprise:"Dingbian Marquis Qi Wen?" Where is Feng Xinyue and others? They don't participate? Ran Lie hesitated and said:"

Although Feng Xinyue and the other three are in the Daqi army, they have no positions and are not involved in military affairs. They are just like bystanders. According to the information obtained by the spies I sent to Daqi,"

"There is no such person as Feng Xinyue in the royal family of Daqi Dynasty. They came to Daqi Dynasty a few months ago, but Feng Xinyue has entered the palace before and refused to worship the Emperor of Daqi. As for Feng Xinyue's identity, currently Can't find it yet."

Jiang Yuan looked relieved. What he was worried about was that Feng Xinyue would end up personally and command the army to fight with him. Feng Xinyue was fine, but that Meng Qingping was not a simple person and was not that easy to deal with.

Since they didn't interfere, his The opponent is Dingbian Marquis Qi Wen, which is much easier.

Jiang Yuan stood up and said:"Since Da Qi has started to move, we can't be idle. Since Qi Wen wants to bypass Tiger Leaping City, I won't let him do it."

"Ran Lie"

"exist"

"I'll ask you to assemble an army of 50,000 men and follow me to garrison in Tiger Leaping City. We will set out at Yinshi tomorrow. The rest will continue to garrison Dongzhou City."
