Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Chapter 2116 Shock (Subscription Request)

Seeing that Lei Wanche and Lei Chongmao were still skeptical, Meng Zhao explained,

"I have 100,000 Yangwu troops under my command. In addition, I have 120,000 private troops in Liangzhou. They are all elite and brave warriors. However, we are short of good generals and generals. Therefore, we need to train more talents.

The Lei family is a family of generals. As for the art of warfare, the first Marquis of Beining was a great family, and the art has been passed down from generation to generation. Up to now, there are few rivals in Dayong. My Meng family also admires the Lei family's art of warfare.

Therefore, I hope to temporarily transfer some available talents to Lord Lei's camp and the army to serve him, so that they can learn advanced ways of deploying troops, increase their knowledge, and improve their own abilities.

Secondly, I also hope that these people can interact more with Lord Lei, so that they can be close friends in the future, and avoid unnecessary troubles when we need to join forces in the future."

Meng Zhao's words were sincere, but everyone focused their attention on the 120,000 private troops in Liangzhou that Meng Zhao mentioned.

This is the land of Liangzhou. Not only do they have 120,000 soldiers, but they are all elite. They are 20,000 more than the nominally orthodox Yangwu army. How is this possible?

People like Liu An, Yan Libing and Shi Jiawen were just amazed, while Lei Wanche and Lei Chongmao, father and son, were horrified.

If we talk about the military strength alone, Meng Zhao alone commanded an army of 220,000. These were not just the soldiers who were there to make up the numbers, who were weak, hungry, and could only serve as cannon fodder. They were truly brave men. It was simply incredible.

If we count again, we will add in the soldiers of the Meng family in Nan'an, the soldiers of his Lei family, and the army of the Tan family in Yanzhou.

To put it bluntly, the entire northern land is actually already in Meng Zhao's pocket. At least from a military perspective, the resources and military force that Meng Zhao can mobilize are enough to make him the number one warlord, and he is leading by a huge margin.

This just confirmed what everyone had thought before, that Meng Zhao had made some arrangements in Yanzhou, and he also had the means in Liangzhou.

Of course, the difficulty here is definitely not small.

Lei Wanche seemed to be thinking about something. Under normal circumstances, if such a large military force appeared in Liangzhou, it would not be impossible, but it would be discovered very quickly.

However, due to a once-in-a-century heavy snowstorm in the north, Liangzhou suffered severe damage and the government system was almost paralyzed. Local powerful people emerged and many tyrants appeared, which gave many ambitious people an opportunity.

However, even with favorable external environment, it does not mean that such a big thing can be accomplished easily.

It was also by chance that Meng Zhao smashed the plate of a big shot, seized 30,000 elite troops and many masters by trickery and plunder, and used them as the foundation and backbone to continue to expand, and only then did he have the current size of an army of 120,000.

Of course, Mrs. Jie, a native of Liangzhou, also made great efforts.

If Meng Zhao could meet Nangong Yao in the future, he would keep his promise, kill him, seize the origin of the chaotic body, and avenge Madam Jie.

"Of course it is possible. King Meng Long is indeed a gifted and arrogant man. He is a god in the world. He has managed such a big situation without making any noise."

  Meng Zhao laughed and said meaningfully,

“He who does not plan for eternity is not qualified to plan for the present; he who does not plan for the overall situation is not qualified to plan for a region.

I just put some more considerations.

In fact, Beitang Shu could have taken control of the military power of Liangzhou, but unfortunately, he was assassinated and was one step too late. Although Liangzhou is still prosperous, it is still leaderless. "

Others didn't hear anything special, but Lei Wanche, who was one of the witnesses at that time, had his pupils shrink and was shocked by Meng Zhao's boldness.

He heard that the Ninth Prince Beitang Shu had intended to go to Liangzhou to gather military power and planned to take him and the Lei family army with him. However, a sudden assassination nailed Beitang Shu to Jizhou, and he dared not go out openly anymore.

At that time, everyone thought that it was the work of an evil demon who wanted to demonstrate to the Beitang royal family, which triggered a massive demon-killing campaign that resulted in countless casualties.

Lian Meng Jizu became famous for leading a large army, setting up formations, and killing a powerful master of the evil demon sect.

Now Lei Wanche heard that the assassination of Beitang Shu was actually the work of Meng Zhao.

In addition to surprise and shock, there is also deep fear.

At that time, Meng Zhao did not have the fame and martial arts he has now, but he was actually able to arrange such an assassination and instruct a master of the evil way to do things for him. This was really beyond his expectations.

It is estimated that Meng Jizu did not have such background and means at that time.

In addition, Meng Zhao's methods were too cruel.

I'm afraid that King Meng Long has long had the ambition to dominate the north. In addition to secretly developing his own power and gaining more military force, he is also weakening his competitors.

Among those who have the potential to dominate the north, Beitang Shulun is second, and no one dares to claim to be first.

  It's a very simple truth. Bloodline and reputation are Beitang Shu's first core competitiveness. How can others compete with him without a righteous cause?

Thanks to the uncrowned king strength of the Lei family and the Meng family in Jizhou over the years, as well as the two strong powers competing for hegemony, Beitang Shu could not display his ideas no matter how great his status was.

In addition, the decline of the Beitang royal family in recent years has also made Beitang Shu restricted in his actions and unable to display his abilities.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Beitang Shu, despite being Meng Zhao's biggest rival in dominating the north, has made little progress.

It was not until he forced back the coalition forces of the Hu and Man tribes through military exercises that he was commended by the court and appointed as the governor of Ji and Liang states.

Although Liangzhou is large, it is independent of its own government. And because of its unique geographical location and environment, except for the Fire Dragon Cave, one of the Thirteen Families, it has not produced any overlord-level family forces like the Meng and Lei families that are second only to the Nine Surnames. It is much easier to tame than Jizhou.

Beitang Shu did have the opportunity and ability at that time to temporarily gather the Liangzhou army, and even had the hope of taking Liangzhou into his own hands.

What a pity! Meng Zhao's simple and crude assassination attempt hit the weak spot and directly ruined Beitang Shu's plan.

Not only did the Ninth Prince's plans come to nothing, it also indirectly led to a drastic change in his temperament. He is now moody and no longer the wise king he once was.

Lei Wanche could even hear that Meng Zhao was intentionally pointing this out.

As for why.

He most likely thought that it was this Beimeng Dragon King who was now relaxed and wanted to integrate the forces at his disposal and intimidate him at the same time.

  Let’s calculate how much information Meng Zhao revealed to them today?

The engagement with the Tan family, the private army in Liangzhou, and what was said today, the conspiracy against Beitang Shu.

Every single one of these incidents would cause loss of life and unrest in the area if it were spread out.
