Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 153: Sense of urgency, Wei soldiers expand their army by [-]

Zhao Hongming used the [Tiandao Rewards Qin] martial arts attribute panel to break through the Thunder Destruction Dharma Body to the innate realm, and his whole body was filled with powerful power.

After being tempered by the blood of the true dragon, the essence and strength contained in his flesh and blood have increased a bit, becoming as hard as iron. The condensed true seal of the giant also has a mark of thunder and lightning between his eyebrows.

Zhao Hongming closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body.

He found that on the bridge of heaven and earth he was imagining, the true meaning of thunder and the true meaning of immortality blended together, rushing through his body without any sense of blockage.

Zhao Hongming's mind moved, and the cyan half-human figure appeared behind him.

He shouted softly: "Ziyue!"

Two completely different true meanings began to circulate rapidly, overflowing outwards with him as the center, constantly filling his flesh and blood, accompanied by the sound of thunder that had never been heard before.

Filled with the two true intentions, Zhao Hongming's body began to swell, and his body that was originally only about 1.7 meters quickly grew to two meters.

The clothes on his upper body were tightened, and then "collapsed", burst by the swelling muscles, and turned into pieces of cloth, hanging on his body.

The muscles on his body seemed to have broken free of their restraints, and began to squirm, grow larger, and finally take shape like mud being stirred.

Due to the exaggerated muscle expansion, his neck became short and thick, and when his head was raised, it looked like a ferocious monster.

All over his body, muscles like tree tumors were piled up on his body.

Zhao Hongming looked down at his palm. The joints of each finger were rough, and every time he moved, he felt an unusually familiar lightning touch.

His fingers were slightly open, and a subtle arc appeared.

Not only the physical body, but also the eighteen floating arms behind him had an electric arc traveling around.

Standing in the practice room, a violent aura spread around him with him as the center. The blue bricks on the ground began to crack uncontrollably, and small broken particles splashed out.

In an instant, the entire practice room was filled with such a smell, making it difficult to approach.

Zhao Hongming made an estimate in his mind. Compared with the current level, the combat effectiveness has increased by at least [-]%.

After the optimization of [Tiandao Rewards Diligence], the effect of one plus one is greater than two has been achieved.

Zhao Hongming also had a rough idea of ​​his own strength. He breathed out gently, and the Dharma behind him slowly faded and disappeared.

Then, the muscles all over the body squirmed, like a deflated rubber ball, gradually changing from a state of more than two meters to the usual 1.7 meters.

Returned to normal body shape.

Although it is not as scary as it looked just now, it is still somewhat strong, with well-proportioned and strong muscles everywhere in the body.

At this level, he was in a sea of ​​thunder, and he was confident that his body could withstand it.

When he has cultivated the Thunder Destruction Dharma Body to the martial arts level, he has no fear of all kinds of thunder and other power of heaven and earth.

Standing in the middle of the practice room, Zhao Hongming couldn't help but look more confident and at ease.

boom!
He made a fist with one hand and hammered it violently in the void.

Bursts of lightning burst out from the fist surface, making a thunderous explosion.

Zhao Hongming felt the powerful power contained in his body and felt better than ever before.

After a cup of tea, Gao Yanshi's sharp drake voice came from outside the door.

"Your Highness, General Wu Qi has something to ask for."

Wu Qi?

Zhao Hongming frowned. He was training troops in the mountains at this time. What could be important?
"Ask General Wu to go to the study. I will be there in a moment."

"The servant knows."

Zhao Hongming lowered his head and looked at the rags hanging on his body. The original clothes had been torn and became very inappropriate. There was no way to summon his subordinates.

He sighed helplessly and asked his servant to pick out a suit of clothes that fit him and put them on again.

In the study, Wu Qi stood like an old pine tree, looking down at the ground, without anything.

"General Wu, if you are not training troops in the military camp early in the morning, why do you come to this king?"

Zhao Hongming walked in from the study room wearing a red and black brocade suit, and the sound came before anyone arrived.

Wu Qi looked at Zhao Hongming with a serious face and reported to him the news that Zhao Guo Li Mu was going to use troops against Ying County: "Your Highness, I have received some news. Zhao Guo General Li Mu is recruiting major martial arts forces and The civilians are expected to organize an army of [-], or to launch a surprise attack on Ying County and start an undeclared war against us."

When Zhao Hongming heard the news, his expression immediately became solemn.

He knew very well that if Li Mu really used troops against Yingjun, what kind of losses and turmoil it would bring to Yingjun.

The good situation he had just established would be ruined.

"General Wu, can you confirm the source and reliability of this news?" Zhao Hongming asked seriously.

Wu Qi replied: "This is the information I got from a soldier. After my analysis and judgment, I think the reliability of this information is very high. Your Highness has also been paying attention to the movements on the Zhao border during this period, and he should be able to detect it." Got some clues.”

Zhao Hongming remained silent when he heard this.

He asked Gao Yanshi to place a lot of spies on the border of Zhao State, and there was indeed some trouble.

The possibility of what Wu Qi said happening is not small.

Of course, if you want to ask for a certificate, you still need to infiltrate some more spies into Zhao State.

After a while, Zhao Hongming asked: "So according to the general, what are our countermeasures?"

"We need to strengthen Yingjun's defense and be prepared to deal with Li Mu's attack. At the same time, we also need to strengthen our contacts with the Eastern Army, the court, and the surrounding areas to seek support and help." Wu Qi said in a more serious tone: "Of course more The important thing is to let Wei Wu soldiers expand the army!"

Expand the army!

What Wu Qi said was consistent with what Zhao Hongming was thinking.

It was only a matter of time before Wei Wuzu expanded his army, but in his original plan, it would be gradual, not so sudden.

But he also knows that some things are better to be believed than to be believed.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, they must go all out and be fully prepared to nip it in the bud.

"General Wu, you are right. Next, I will immediately arrange personnel to strengthen Yingjun's defense. At the same time, I will confirm the intelligence and ask my father for support and help." Zhao Hongming continued: "The expansion of Wei's army also requires Do it. According to General Wu, how large should the number of Wei soldiers be?"

"If possible, the more the merrier, of course. However, Wei Wuzu adopts the route of elite troops. The cost of forming Wei Wuzu is quite high. With the current situation of Ying County, there is no way to bear too much."

Wu Qi pondered for a while and continued: "I have observed the terrain of Ying County. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Occupying such a favorable location, if we want to guard against an army of [-], we must at least expand the army from the current [-] to [-]."

The number of [-] is indeed a large number.

You must know that the consumption of one Wei soldier is equivalent to ten ordinary soldiers. In the past, the number of county soldiers stationed in Ying County was only [-].

There are too many soldiers, which is a big burden for Zhao Hongming.After hearing Wu Qi's judgment, Zhao Hongming weighed it carefully in his mind, and made a brief estimate of the savings currently in the warehouse.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Hongming said: "Thirty thousand! Before next spring, form [-] Wei soldiers."

Wu Qi's eyes flashed with surprise.

He knew that Prince Wu's palace now had a lot of savings. After excluding some inevitable expenses, it was almost possible to build [-] Wei soldiers.

Many nobles and martial arts forces attach great importance to private property and focus on enjoyment and fun, and are very disgusted with this kind of training expenditure.

Because of this, he reported the number [-].

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongming was so decisive and had no intention of hiding anything, which really made him a little bit overjoyed.

Wu Qi felt a little uneasy: "But if it's [-] yuan, can Prince Wu's Mansion be able to afford it?"

"General Wu, are you doubting me?" Zhao Hongming snorted coldly, a little dissatisfied with Wu Qi's test.

Wu Qi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please forgive me."

There was an expression of panic on his face, but he was already elated in his heart.

As a general, how can he dislike having many soldiers under his command?

Zhao Hongming thought for a moment and said, "Refugees have been flowing into Ying County recently, and there are many dissatisfied warriors among them. The supply of soldiers is sufficient. Now the forces that threaten us in Ying County have been basically eliminated, but for the sake of safety, the recruitment of soldiers is still Come in the name of Mingjiao."

Wu Qi asked unclearly: "Is Your Highness worried about something?"

Zhao Hongming nodded and said: "Gao Yanshi discovered that there is Zhao's black club in Luling City. They are good at intelligence spying, so if you recruit them directly, it may arouse Zhao's vigilance. With the covering cloth of Mingjiao, you can If you block it, just block it, even if you want to confuse the opponent, it’s also good.”

"Soldiers are deceitful." Wu Qi praised: "Your Highness is very thoughtful."

Zhao Hongming said: "You should communicate with Chang Wei about this matter. It's still early, so you don't have to be too anxious."

Wu Qidian nodded to express his understanding.

Winter is coming soon, and the weather is cold and it is not suitable for marching.

Therefore, if Zhao really wants to mobilize troops, it will be at least next year.

Tomorrow is the sowing season in spring. Wu Qi learned that Li Mu was also a general who paid attention to people's livelihood and would not use troops at this time.

After comprehensive consideration, the most likely time to mobilize troops is next summer or after the autumn harvest.

If it is summer, the troops will be dispatched for a short period of time, mainly based on clever strategies.If it is after the autumn harvest, it may be a steady and steady approach.

Obviously His Highness also thought about this, so he didn't let him get too anxious.

Staying in the study, Wu Qi communicated with Zhao Hongming on some detailed issues. After the discussion, Wu Qi began to take action.

After Wu Qi left, Zhao Hongming immediately found Gao Yanshi.

The investigation operations of the Black Clothes Society in Ying County will definitely not stop. Once they take action, they will definitely continue to send spies to sneak into Wei Wuzu's camp in an attempt to learn about Wei Wuzu's military situation.

As the highest authority in Ying County, Zhao Hongming cannot turn a blind eye to such things.

The intelligence war is a battlefield where no gunpowder can be seen.

He needed to set up a tight line of defense and closely monitored the spies of the Black Clothes Society to prevent them from leaking the military information of Wei Wuzu and some of his own secrets.

After receiving Zhao Hongming's order, Gao Yanshi hurriedly walked in and said, "My servant is here."

"In the recent period of time over at the Black Clothes Society, you should keep a closer eye, and then try to find a way to go deeper into Zhao State to find out whether Li Mu of Zhao State is secretly recruiting troops." Zhao Hongming ordered: "This matter is serious. Xiao, you must give me the results as soon as possible."

Gao Yanshi looked solemn and responded quickly.

After receiving the order, he started taking action almost non-stop.

Using the network he had accumulated in Ying County, he quickly began to infiltrate into the territory of Zhao State, while keeping a close eye on every move in the Yu Study Studio.

In Ying County, a drizzle began to fall.

As the autumn rain fell, the temperature in Luling City seemed to suddenly drop several degrees, and there was a hint of chill in the air.

On rainy days, the business of Yu Shuzhai is not good, and there are not many people.

As the shopkeeper of Yu Shu Zhai, Shu Ziteng was bored reading a book and fell asleep.

Suddenly a man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes walked in from King Wu, which cheered him up.

"grown ups!"

The man with sword-browed eyes and starry eyes found an open space and sat down.

"How are you doing lately? Any important news?"

Shu Ziteng smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, how can important information be so easy? I don't have any valuable information at the moment. But where is your side?"

During this time, they have been paying attention to the changes in Ying County.

Among them, they focused on two aspects. One was the true cultivation level of Martial King Zhao Hongming. Whether he was already a master of martial arts as rumored.

What they now know is that this King Wu is just an unpopular fifth prince in Daliang. It was only two years since he first entered the Cangwu Tower. There is not much other information about his training.

This also means that in just two years, the fifth prince has transformed from an ordinary person to a Xiantian realm martial artist.

Even without the blood of the royal family and the fate of the country, this talent is really shocking.

In the hundreds of years of martial arts, no one has ever reached such a situation.

The more they thought about it, the more impossible they felt. They even began to wonder if they were being paranoid and that their previous intelligence was really wrong.

In addition to this, the second aspect they inquired about was about Mingjiao.

This investigation was also a complete mess. Apart from knowing that the name of the leader of the Ming Cult was Wei Wuji, that he had a martial arts level, and that he was very close to King Wu, all other information was blank.

And during the investigation, the two seemed to have encountered some difficulties, as if someone was maliciously obstructing them and not giving them real information.

Things were put on hold again, and we began to feel at a loss.

The man with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes said: "Can your spy in Prince Wu's Mansion let her go deeper and find out the details of Prince Wu?"

Shu Ziteng said helplessly: "Sir, she has gone deep enough. If she goes deeper, she will have to find a new way. Where is her identity? It is not easy to know this step."

"Let her try again."

"If we can get closer, she might be exposed."

"Exposed is exposed. It's just a chess piece. If I have to realize that I will die at any time, why can't I spend time here all the time?"
