Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 389 Chi Yan expands the army, mood changes

September 1332, 25 in the New Yu Calendar
With the blessing of Hou Yuxiao's good deeds, the Five Elements Heaven has been running for nearly a hundred years. From the initial radius of fifty miles, it has grown to the current radius of thousands of miles.

At first, there was nothing in the sky of the Five Elements, and the gray scene between heaven and earth has long disappeared. The sky and earth are distinct, with rows of grass, trees, mountains, plains, hills, peaks, lakes, and even tiny prototypes of life, such as some small insects, birds, and even It is a small beast in the mountains, and it has gradually begun to evolve.

If the Five Elements Heaven just obtained is just a small space isolated from China, then at this moment, the Five Elements Heaven is already a small world of its own.

Hou Yuxiao even suspected that even if he didn't intervene, this world would eventually turn into a small world like China, but this small world could change its time flow through karma.

The Five Elements Heaven needs time to evolve, or to be more precise, it needs karma.

But now, Hou Yuxiao encountered a difficult problem.

His karma value is not enough!
Good deeds: 421234573
Karma: 85343233
In March, when he first learned that he could use karma to change the time flow of the Five Elements Heaven, his good deeds and karma values ​​were more than 3 million and more than one billion respectively. At that time, Hexi had just swallowed Nanping Prefecture, and the population under his command had increased to 5000 million. The good deeds and karma that can be provided to him every month are more than 1 million each.

It seems like a lot, but the problem is that a single change of the flow rate of time in the Five Elements Heaven requires 1000 million karma every day. In one month, the light karma will be 4 million. By the beginning of July, when he attacked Jianye Mansion, his karma was used up. [-] million. Although I had an income of [-] million in the intervening three months, my karma at that time was only over [-] million.

A battle for Jianye Mansion resulted in a lot of karma gains, more than 3 million, but from July to now, more than 6 million have been lost. Adding in the income of 8000 million in these two months, there should have been nearly [-] million left. Billion, but during this period, in order to break through the saint, he spared no effort to use karma to swallow up his power. As a result, now, there are only more than [-] million left.

Karma is like this, and so are good deeds.

After the price increase, the consumption of small rejuvenating elixirs, martial arts promotions, strength enhancements, and the exchange of source blood are actually not large. However, the problem is that all these functions are used on a large scale. Let's just say a small one. There are now millions of warriors under the Hou family, and not everyone is qualified to use it, let alone the source of blood that can only be exchanged for one piece of [-] good deeds. Currently, except for a very small number of elites in the Red Flame Army, , other people from the Hou family are not qualified to use it at all.

However, the original blood can only improve one's cultivation talent. Compared with using the five elements to change the speed of time and flow to practice, the function is still not as good. After all, the former can only be used in a small range, while the latter, the entire Hou family warriors, can benefit .

"Although Jianye Mansion was captured in mid-July, only two months have passed to the outside world, but 16 years have passed in the Five Elements Heaven. Almost all the warriors in the clan who are not performing tasks outside are practicing inside, and now they are ten years old. Heavy warriors can be seen almost everywhere in the clan, and the second child’s mention of Chiyan’s army expansion should be almost done!”

Hou Yuxiao muttered to himself and looked down at the family warriors who were practicing everywhere on the plain below. They suddenly disappeared into the Five Elements Sky. Less than ten minutes later, when he came in again, Hou Yuduan was already with him. There are two people with Hou Yucheng.

"Fifth, I haven't asked you for two months since Jianye Mansion was laid down, how many people are there in the whole Hexi Road, and how many warriors are there, are you clear?"

"After the remnants of the defeated soldiers in Leiyin Temple were eliminated, the martial arts registration system was immediately rolled out in Jianye Prefecture. The entire Jianye Prefecture has a population of 2424 million. There are currently a total of 213 million naturalized warriors. Originally, there were still some in Jianye Prefecture. They are local forces, but they were cleaned up by Leiyin Temple a long time ago, so they saved us some trouble.

According to the elder brother's previous instructions, there are no longer any incoming forces in Hexi Road. All warriors are managed according to the military registration system, except for blood ties and small-scale master-disciple relationships, and only if there are no more than ten people. Living together openly, apart from that, even opening a school to teach disciples is not allowed. "

When Hou Yuduan came in, he knew that Hou Yuxiao was going to give instructions. In addition, he was in charge of these matters, so he knew it clearly in his heart and answered immediately.

Twenty-four million, plus the more than 400 million people Hexi had before, that means that there are currently nearly 5000 million people living in the entire Hexi Road, and his monthly income is exactly 8000 million, which is just right. Right.

Hou Yuxiao nodded and continued to ask: "How many casualties have our more than 200 million troops suffered in total in Jianye Mansion? Are we done with dealing with the aftermath?"

To attack Jianye Prefecture, a total of one million Red Flame troops and 130 million Zhaoyang troops were dispatched. At that time, the entire Hou family had 350 million troops, including 120 million Red Yan troops and 230 million Zhaoyang troops. A Jianye Although the battle of the Mansion went smoothly, the casualties were actually not small. However, Hou Yuduan was always in charge of these matters, so Hou Yuxiao didn't ask too much. If he wanted to expand his army at this moment, he naturally had to ask about the situation in advance.

"The Red Flame Army suffered a total loss of 15 people, mainly in the battle of Jianye Fucheng. The Zhaoyang Army did not fight many battles, but only suffered losses of more than 7 people. These warrior soldiers who died fighting for Hexi, in addition to giving them In addition to pensions for their widows, according to the provisions of the Hexi military registration system, the children of these people are all considered children of martyrs. They will be raised by the Hou family until they reach adulthood. In addition, they can inherit the family status of martyrs and enjoy the benefits without assessment. You can join Hou's qualifications.

Generally speaking, there are no problems with these arrangements. For a small number of people who have objections, I have sent people to compensate them privately. So far, there have been no problems. "

Hou Yuxiao nodded and shifted his gaze to Hou Yucheng.

Hou Yucheng understood the idea and immediately said: "In July, the total number of the Red Flame Army was 120 million, and the Zhaoyang Army was 230 million. After Jianye was captured, I never moved the Red Flame Army. I only made up 5 people. I moved Zhaoyang Army." The Yang Army has now expanded to 400 million. Hexi currently has a total of 500 million troops. Except for the 200 million on duty outside, the other 300 million troops take turns to practice in the Five Elements Heaven. They rotate every ten days. Brother, you know that, "

Of course Hou Yuxiao knew that he had to pass through him when entering and exiting the Five Elements Heaven. At this moment, in addition to the 300 million troops cultivating in the Five Elements Heaven, there were also Shangxiahou Men, White Feather Guards, Black Feather Guards, Xuanting Division and other nine major institutions of the Hou family. There are more than [-] elite disciples in total.

"Lao Wu, the 500 million army is still not possible to expand?"

Hou Yuduan directly shook his head and said, "It's the limit."

The answer to this question is actually clear to Hou Yuxiao. The total population of the four prefectures in Hexi Province is only more than 8000 million, the total number of naturalized warriors is less than 700 million, and the army is 500 million. Including people from other organizations of the family, in fact, the entire Nearly [-]% of the warriors in Hexi have been recruited by the Hou family.

An army of 500 million is not only the limit of the number of warriors in Hexi, but also the limit of the Hou family's financial support. In addition to raising an army, the Hou family also has nearly 30 warriors from nine major organizations under its command. In addition to the monthly salary, cultivation must The supplies prepared are consumed almost in huge amounts every day. The income of the four houses in Hexi Province is only enough to support this much. If the family finances are added, there will be problems.

"It is impossible to expand the army to the outside, so we can only take the elite route and expand the number of the Red Flame Army. The Red Flame Army currently only has a million people. Among the remaining 400 million people, there should be more than 100 million people who have reached the standard?"

Within the Five Elements Heaven, there have been more than 300 million people cultivating for a long time. Hou Yuxiao knew the cultivation levels of these people, but he didn't know the specific number.

Hou Yuduan nodded and said: "Of the 400 million Zhaoyang Army, there are already more than 130 million people with cultivation levels above the tenth level. Some warriors at the Gang Qi Realm Grandmaster level have long wanted to join the Red Flame Army, but this I haven’t let go for a while, and there are people in the Five Elements Heaven making breakthroughs almost every day. According to the current speed, I estimate that it will only take half a year for the 500 million troops to be promoted to the tenth level."

After hearing this for half a year, Hou Yuxiao suddenly frowned.

18 million a month, which is 8000 billion karma in six months. He only has more than [-] million left at the moment, which is only enough to last for eight days. After eight days, he will not be able to increase the time flow rate of the Five Elements Heaven, let alone maintain it for half a year. .

18 billion karma, this is not a small amount.

"Lao Wu, can we double the Red Flame Army?"

Hou Yuduan did not answer immediately. Doubling the Red Flame Army would mean adding 100 million troops. This was different from the ordinary conscription in Hexi. The armor and blades used by the Red Flame Army even had matching high-grade war horses. The consumption of each soldier was It's tens of thousands, and if it suddenly expands to millions, it's not a small expense.

Hou Yucheng next to him looked very excited. He usually didn't pay attention to the accounts. He only knew that if the Red Flame Army doubled, the family's strength would double, so he was very excited.

"We can barely maintain the 200 million Red Flame Army. The family finances can support it, but it has reached its limit. If we want to expand, it will not be possible with the current revenue of the family, unless..."

Hou Yuxiao shook his head, of course he understood what Hou Yuduan meant.

"There is no chance of war in a short period of time, and there will certainly be no major changes in the four Hexi prefectures we control. The current situation in China has reached a balance point, with the Great Jin in the north, the Rakshasa Holy Sect in the west, and the five holy places in Hedong. The three parties are surrounding us and wrestling with King Wuwei, and if they don’t move, we won’t have any chance to expand our territory.”

"Brother, did you leave out one family?"

Hou Yucheng opened his mouth to remind, and the three of them fell silent for an instant.

There is no specific information about the Blood Spirit Demon Sect in Bingzhou. Not counting them, there are currently only eight holy places in the world. Hou Yuxiao named seven of them, but the only one he missed was Qinjian Villa in Jiangbei.

When it comes to Qinjian Villa, the three people's faces don't look very good.

It's just that this time, the three people's faces were ugly, but they were different from before. When they mentioned Qinjian Villa before, Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yuduan, like Hou Yucheng, only had hatred. But this time, there was obviously more in their eyes. There are some different complex colors.

"Qinjian Villa and Dajin are both located in the north of the Yangtze River. As expected, once Long Yu is dealt with, Dajin will be the first to attack them. If Qinjian Villa wants to protect itself, it must report to the five holy places in Hedong. We haven't heard any news yet, but it's almost certain that their people have been in contact with Hedong for a long time. We don't need to go to Guanqinjian Villa at the moment, we just need to look at the left and right sides."

"Not bad!"

Hou Yuduan led Qinjian Villa with a word, and Hou Yuxiao nodded in approval, which made Hou Yucheng look a little confused. The Hou family and Qinjian Villa had a deep hatred, and the reactions of the eldest brother and Lao Wu should not be so dull.

"We want to expand our territory, and there are only three directions. To the north, after crossing the river, is the Jin Dynasty, which can be ruled out; to the west, the Rakshasa Holy Cult has probably conquered Bingzhou and controls the two states alone. We cannot be opponents, and basically can be ruled out; so only the eastern..."

"We want to take the initiative to attack King Wuwei?"

When Hou Yuxiao said this, he stopped talking and ignored Hou Yucheng's inquiry. Instead, he turned to look at Hou Yuduan first, just in time to see the complicated expression on his face.

"King Wuwei seems to have never targeted us. He took the initiative to attack Hedong. There is no suitable reason. Isn't it a little..."

"Yes, there is indeed no good reason or opportunity, so there will definitely be no war in Hexi in a short period of time. You guys will give priority to handling the affairs of the clan. The Great Jin Holy Dynasty is now looking for Long Yu all over the world. As long as he kills They will only start to raise troops after Long Yu is defeated. During this period, all the major holy places must be preparing their troops and waiting for the upcoming war. We cannot fall behind!"

Hearing that Hou Yuxiao brought the matter of King Wuwei to him, Hou Yuduan took the initiative to say something, but seeing that Hou Yuxiao had told them to leave, he didn't say anything, just nodded, and left Wuxingtian with Hou Yucheng.

After watching the two people leave, Hou Yuxiao stood alone, his eyes full of gloom. He was silent for a long time, sneered twice, and there was a faint gleam of coldness in his eyes.

"You obviously have this strength, why did you fake your death back then, and then sit back and watch Yucheng and the four of them suffer torture, enter the Jin Dynasty, send Xuantian Secret Records, and capture Xuzhou across the river? What on earth do you want to do?
Hou Jing...Hou Jing...hehe..."

Hou Yuxiao closed his eyes and did not continue to think about these things in his mind. For him, the most important thing was the Hou family, to be precise, Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuling, Hou Yujie, Hou Yuduan, his wife Zhao Qingxue, his son Hou Wuji, and his nephew Hou Wuji , and there are millions of people in the Hou family, there are too many people and things that need to be worried about, so many that some people and things that he thought were important before are not that important now.

"The top priority is to become a saint. As long as I can become a saint, the three families will really start to win over Hexi. At that time, the family's strategic space will also be expanded, and there will be more room for choice, instead of being restricted everywhere like it is now!"

Hou Yuxiao calmed down for a moment, then crossed his legs in mid-air and, like millions of people in Five Elements Heaven, was immersed in cultivation.
