From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

At dawn.

One thousand county soldiers and one hundred cavalrymen joined together and arrived at Linjiabao.

All that caught my eye were the black and red bloodstains and the corpses that had not yet been cleaned up.

Wei Nanshan and Guo Si walked in. The former was speechless when he saw this. He thought that someone might not be well received by other forts in the future.

The battle was over long ago. Of the 6,000 members of the Lin Family Fortress, 200 of the 600 private soldiers were killed in the battle.

All gold, silver, jewelry, land deeds, personal deeds and weapons were confiscated.

After seeing someone killing everyone, more than half of the captured bandits, out of their habitual thinking of obeying the strong, took the initiative to join the battle in an attempt to get immunity. As for those who planned to escape or rebel, they all died.

Guo Si contacted "Lin Langya" and re-planned the management plan for the Lin family, preparing to move the entire clan to Lanshui County.

……

On October 30, the outbound troops returned to Lanshui County.

County Magistrate He was busy settling the Lin family members.

Jiang Yuan convened a meeting of officers at the County Lieutenant's Mansion.

Today, the composition of the military in Lanshui County is somewhat complicated.

The bandits and Lin's private soldiers were mixed into the county army, and the total number reached 3,000 people, mixed and disrupted.

Two hundred horses were captured in two battles, increasing the cavalry force to 1,200 horses. The losses were replaced by recruiting retired young and strong men, who were retrained and replaced by county soldiers.

But the real focus lies in the three hundred sets of armor accumulated by the Lin family from generation to generation.

Jiang Yuan converted all his original troops into personal soldiers, and they became armored soldiers after wearing armor.

Li Huoli serves as Zu Kai's deputy.

Lao Jibei led a thousand county soldiers.

Ning Shijian was in charge of three hundred armored personal guards.

The gold and silver collected from the Lin family and the bandits were divided into ten parts.

Four of them were given to Guo Si to maintain the operation of the army.

Three portions were distributed to various levels as winter military pay.

Two copies went into someone's pocket.

The last one was given to two captains in the county army.

"Take the money and go to the capital to become a rich man. The one thousand soldiers in your hands will be considered as bought by me." Jiang Yuan said.

Everyone present except Guo Si was indifferent.

"Take the money and get out. You two are not members of my Wei family. He is a petty-minded second-class man. It will be a piece of cake for him to smash you to death with all his strength." Wei Nanshan scolded with a smile.

The two captains bowed deeply and turned to leave.

"One-Eye, you will take over the thousand men who replaced them."

"Yes." The one-eyed young man replied.

"Shouldn't you give me some compensation as well?" Wei Nanshan's tone was deliberately filled with dissatisfaction. With the blatant decentralization, his power was almost marginalized. Although he didn't care, it didn't mean he would give up the benefits he deserved.

"I'll get you one myself."

Jiang Yuan pushed a pile of gold and silver over, each piece was worth about three thousand taels of silver. The fortress owner and the bandits robbed merchants all year round and were very rich.

Wei Nanshan smiled and took him into his arms. Of course, he couldn't refuse. Drinking wine required a lot of money. "Three thousand infantry, one thousand two hundred cavalry, and three hundred armored soldiers. It should be no problem to defend the city." Jiang Yuan looked around and saw six officers in total.

"Guo Si, I will assign 100 of my personal guards to you. You will take care of the fake Lin Langya. Someone will come from the county capital to pick up Han Fang today and tomorrow. You will be responsible for all matters of this nature, including gathering information."

"Yes." Guo Si smiled happily. He finally felt a little safe.

"When defending the city, Wei Nanshan, Lao Jibei, and Duyan, the three of you will each lead 800 infantrymen to guard the east, west, and south. Send 200 of them over to me and my personal soldiers."

"Yes." The three answered in unison.

"Zu Kai, Li Huoli will lead the cavalry to station at the north gate and wait for orders."

"Yes." The two men responded with a fist salute.

The meeting ended and the officers left.

Jiang Yuan stood up and walked into the back hall. The courtyard of the county lieutenant's mansion was spacious and bright, with wing rooms on both sides and an old locust tree in front of each.

Because there were no maids, meals were usually prepared by Ning Shijian, the leader of the personal guards. The largest restaurant in the county had long been famous.

Cloud cakes and osmanthus wine had been placed on the stone table. The personal soldiers served four dishes in turn: stewed carp, basil shrimp, shredded lamb, and steamed goose and duck chops. Half of them were river fish, taken from the Benliu River outside the city. The shredded lamb was the most demanding to cook, as the tender part of the lamb was picked and cut into one-foot-long shreds, which were carefully roasted.

Jiang Yuan sat down. The cost of this meal was about three taels of silver, which was much more expensive than the brown rice he ate in Hengshui City.

"Let those low-ranking personal soldiers come over here."

"Yes." Ning Shijian replied. One third of the 300 personal soldiers were unwilling to accept the "transmission of skills". Some felt that they still had potential, while others believed that this was a cult's method. In short, no matter what, these people had been assigned to Guo Si, and those who stayed had agreed.

After a while, one hundred and eighty armored soldiers entered one after another.

Jiang Yuan took advantage of the breaks between meals to teach them his skills one by one.

Generally speaking, to quickly train a sixth-rank warrior, one needs the foul air of five deaths, and the benefits will be significantly increased on the battlefield.

After two battles, the bright red blood had covered the entire right hand. When it spread throughout the body, it would be the time for a breakthrough to the first level.

On the old locust tree, the crows pecked at its wings.

After the power transmission was over and the personal soldiers left the courtyard, Old Man Pei spoke:

"Jiang boy, are you related to Zhulu Mountain?"

Zhulu Mountain is the headquarters of the Demon Cult, hidden in the clouds and nowhere to be found. Sixty years ago, there was an endless battle between good and evil in the martial arts world, and the leaders of the martial arts world often died as soon as they took the position. Later, the six great demons went to Longhu Mountain together, and were all killed by Qi Xuanzhen, the leader of Taoism at that time. This was the beginning of the period of decline.

Qi Xuanzhen is the reincarnation of Lu Zu from five hundred years ago. He is regarded by generations of martial arts world as the only one who can fight against Emperor Wu and Wang Xianzhi in life and death.

If we were to say who could truly defeat that old monster Emperor Wu, perhaps only Lu Zu at that time had a 70% chance of winning.

If it weren't for this rare Qi Xuanzhen taking action, the Zhulu Mountain Demon Cult would have found it difficult to decline.

Every generation of the leader of Zhulu Mountain is a great man, who at least has the combat power of a land immortal, otherwise the Demon Cult would rather leave the position of the leader vacant.

In Old Man Pei's opinion, this incredible method of passing on power is unheard of and can only be the fundamental method of the Demon Cult. After all, every generation of Zhulu Mountain has taken it as their mission to conquer the world, and they still don't feel satisfied enough to unify the world.

"Where is the Beimang cavalry?" Jiang Yuan asked. He had no intention of explaining in detail. Even if Zhao Gou leader Yuan Benxi targeted them, it did not matter. The basis of the martial arts training was his innate magical power, the Martial Arts Crucible. Even if the military power was taken away from him, he could still take back the filthy air and reshape an identical replacement in a blink of an eye.

"The 50,000-strong army has already gathered in Hongxiang City. In addition, there are 40,000 vassal troops gathered by the powerful families in Orange State. A total of 30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry are heading towards Hengshui County. General Hong Xiangyang has obviously set his eyes on Wei Jingtang's head. He is a disciple publicly acknowledged by Prime Minister Zhang Julu and is very valuable. As for the Yinyao City, it is led by the deputy general. The chief of the Xuanwu Army has always been a soft persimmon. I don't think we can count on him." said Old Man Pei.

Jiang Yuan nodded. He also knew that the Xuanwu Army would retreat directly in the future, so there was no need to hold out hope for friendly forces.

"Lanshui County is the water source and strategic support for the county town, so you will be under a lot of pressure."

"It doesn't matter."
