Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

Dressed in black attire and wearing a purple gold crown, Kou Zhong stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the people in front of him.

On the left are the three fathers and sons of the Pei family, and on the right are Jiang Song and Luo Cheng. It is worth mentioning that Pei Xingyan is wearing the same sexy bag as Luo Cheng, with bright silver armor. The only difference is that Pei Xingyan is carrying a pair of eight-sided plum blossom bright silver hammers. , and Luo Cheng is the Five-Hook God Flying Bright Silver Spear.

"Pei Renji."

"Xiao Huaijing, the Censor of the Supervisory Army, must be very angry."

Looking at the middle-aged general on the side, Kou Zhong said with a smile.

"Forehead!"

"It's hard to go back, Your Highness."

When Pei Renji heard this, his face was full of bitterness.

That's not a good feeling. It's like being beaten. Every time the thieves get military supplies, they are all rewarded to the soldiers to encourage them. However, Xiao Huaijing, the censor of the army, refuses to allow them every time. The soldiers are very angry, and he is even more angry. From time to time, he was accused by the censor Xiao Huaijing.

In the past year or so, I have received more than ten letters of reprimand from Yang Guang. If this continues, the morale of the army may collapse before the war even begins.

"The Chu army has no habit of stationing supervisory troops."

"However, the Chu army did not have the bad habit of generals distributing rewards."

"In the Chu State, everything is based on military merit. Military merit is awarded a title, and military merit is rewarded with gold, silver, mansions, and fields."

"As long as you dare to kill the enemy, you can achieve meritorious service. No one will or dare to block military merit. This is the highest taboo in Chu State."

"Therefore, when our Chu army heard about the battle, they rejoiced and never retreated. They were all so brave and brave."

"Under my country of Chu, the common people have widespread knowledge of internal skills, sword skills, and martial arts, especially among the soldiers in the army."

"Officials and generals can receive exercises and martial arts skills from the Houtian realm to the Xiantian realm, from the Xiantian realm to the Grand Master realm, and from the Grand Master realm to the Shattered Void realm according to their rank. This has been written in the laws of Dachu, and each state , prefectures, and counties all have Imperial Colleges, Lecture Halls, and Women's Gardens to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, military books, tactics, internal skills, mental methods, and martial arts, and all citizens of the Chu State can enroll in them."

With eyes as bright as fire, Kou Zhong spoke word by word.

Swish!

Everyone present's eyes lit up.

They are very interested in the techniques and martial arts of the Grand Master Realm.

"The king's edict: Yuzhou is established with Runan County, Huainan County, Ruyin County, Huaiyang County, Pengcheng County, and Qiao County."

"Order Sui Secretary Yuan Chong to be the governor of Yuzhou and Pei Renji to be the captain of Yuzhou. He will recruit [-] troops today to recover Huaibei."

"promise!"

When Pei Renji heard this, he was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. Is this a high-ranking member of the state?A big official in the border area.

Before coming, he had heard that the Chu State had a clear military and political system. Each state, county, and county had its own leading generals. The provincial governors, county magistrates, and county magistrates all had the same rank. They had real power, which was far superior to that of the Sui Dynasty. Although all the counties in Yuzhou have not yet fallen into the hands of Chu, it is only a matter of time.

"Jiang Song, Luo Cheng."

"The name of the Luo Family's Desert Silver Spear is resounding throughout the world."

"The Eighteen Cavalrymen of Yanyun are among the most outstanding cavalrymen in the world. You two should be the best cavalrymen."

"Do you have the confidence to lead a cavalry?"

"Have!"

Hearing this, Jiang Song, who was calm by nature, didn't show much change in his expression, but Luo Cheng couldn't help but be eager to try.

"Pei Xingyan, Pei Yuanqing, you two are in the same grade as the Luo brothers. It would be appropriate for you to be organized into the same army."

"Uh-huh!"

Of course Pei Xingyan and Pei Yuanqing heard that Kou Zhong said that the Luo brothers should lead a cavalry force, which would be at least [-] cavalry. Of course they also wanted to lead cavalry. The cavalry was a unique deterrent force in the cold weapon era.

"That being the case, I have drafted an imperial edict and ordered Jiang Song to be the general of Xiaoqi, Luo to be the general of the left, Pei Xingyan to be the general to the right, and Pei Yuanqing to be the general of cavalry."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Jiang Song and the other four young men couldn't help but look happy.

"Your Highness, you are ready."

At this time, a Jinyi Tiqi quickly walked into the hall and whispered a report in Kou Zhong's ear.

"it is good!"

"Let's go, my generals."

"Let's meet your good partner first."

Glancing at Pei Renji and others, Kou Zhong took the lead in walking out of Ziwei Palace with a smile on his lips.

Behind him, Pei Renji and his son, Jiang Song, and Luo Cheng brothers followed him out of Ziwei Palace with doubts on their faces.

"唳!唳〃~!"

"Moo! Moo!"

As soon as they went out, several people were startled by the roar of dragons and the bleating of cattle.

Three strange beasts with long necks, heads with long jaws, fangs in their mouths, four five-toed claws, and white scales all over their bodies. There is also one with thick dark hair all over its body, bright eyes, and a forehead. There was also a majestic beast with one horn on it, excitedly greeting Pei Xingyan and others.

"Your Highness, this is..."

Pei Xingyan, Jiang Song, Pei Yuanqing, and Luo Cheng looked at the four strange beasts, feeling vaguely familiar, but not sure.

Facing the gazes of several people, Kou Zhong smiled and explained: "They are your mounts, the black-horned unicorn, the white dragon horse chasing the wind, the white dragon pony lightning, and the jade lion Zhaoye, but now they have evolved into dragon horses. And the Xie Zhi horse."

"General Pei, Gu Ye ordered me to prepare a golden horse for you."

talking room.

An attendant had already led out a strange beast with a lion-like head, golden hair, and a thick mane around its neck, which immediately won Pei Renji's love.

"Let's get acquainted with the mount."

"Immediately go to Guanzhong, go to the Fifth Army Governor's Office, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report on your duties and receive the official tiger talisman and edict."

Kou Zhong waved his hand and signaled.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Pei Renji and others couldn't wait to rush down to the square in front of the palace, and quickly started to make out with their mounts.

Except for Pei Xingyan's one-character black-horned unicorn, which awakened the bloodline of the mythical beast Haechi, the rest all awakened the bloodline of the dragon species and evolved into white dragon horses. The differences between the three can be seen on their scales. Of course, these Jiao Ma still has feelings for Luo Cheng and others, and he quickly became familiar with them.

Immediately, a group of people rode strange beasts and happily rushed to Guanzhong.

After they left, Jinyi Tiqi stepped forward again and reported: "Your Highness."

"There is news from Jiangdu that Madam Yang has killed Yu Wenhuaji and others, and has taken control of one hundred thousand Xiaoguo Imperial Guards. Now she has eliminated Li Zitong and controls the entire Jiangdu County."

"Madam ordered a letter sent from thousands of households in Jiangdu to come back and inquire about the candidates for Jiangdu Prefecture Yin and Jiangdu Prefecture Lieutenant."

"Moreover, one hundred thousand Xiaoguo Imperial Guards have marched into Donghai County and are fighting Menghai Gong. Xu Yuanlang, who is entrenched in Dongping, seems to have made some changes."

"In Hebei, the Li lords Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, and Li Daozong led 20 troops to seize Zhao County. They have already taken action against Dou Jiande. Li Shimin and Li Yuanba led [-] troops to capture Loufan County and went north to prepare to capture Yanmen. County, Mayi County."

"Ha ha!"

This news fell into the ears of Kou Zhong, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li Clan thought that by constantly opening up new territories, he could stop Chu from dominating the world. It was really ridiculous!

So what if they have twenty counties?The State of Chu already occupies as many as two hundred counties, accounting for three-fifths of the world's total.

"Edict: Zhang Huishao is appointed as the Governor of Jiangdu, and Yu Wenhao is appointed as the Lieutenant of Jiangdu."

"In addition, I ordered Lai Huer to be General Shenwu, and the Shenwu Army and Shence Army will immediately go north to Xiangguo County."

"I want to see how Li Clan wants to deal with Dou Jiande with 20 Chu troops on his side."

"promise!"

Jinyi Tiqi immediately nodded in agreement, followed the order and left.

.......

Daye 14, March.

As Jiangdu fell into the hands of the Chu State, the territory south of the Yangtze River was completely captured by the Chu State.

In addition, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and a group of his descendants and concubines took a boat along the river and entered Guanzhong along the Luoshui River. Everyone in the world knew that the era of the Sui Dynasty had ended and a new era was about to begin.

In early April, when the grass grows and warblers fly, the willows along the Weihe River grow more vigorously.

Longshouyuan's spiritual veins transformed the entire Guanzhong within half a year. Lush flowers, plants and trees grew everywhere. People's bodies were baptized by the spiritual energy and became stronger, and the number of newborns in Guanzhong increased.

What follows is that more and more ferocious beasts appear in Longshou Mountain, which is about [-] miles long, and many of them are comparable to master-level beasts.

Fortunately, the Martial Arts Hall, the Imperial College, and the Women's Garden were already stationed in it last year, and [-] imperial palace guards were also stationed in the mountain.

"Grandfather the emperor, grandmother the emperor, second uncle, third uncle, eldest brother, little sister!"

At the wharf on the bank of the Wei River, Yang Tong, Marquis of Jin of Chu, and Yang You, Marquis of Sui, hurriedly stepped forward to greet Yang Guang and his entourage from Jiangdu, protected by a group of personal guards.

"Dong'er! You'er!"

Yang Guang was a little stunned when he saw the two strong young men in front of him who were as strong as little tigers.

Others were even more stunned. The former Yue King Yang Tong and Dai Wang Yang You were handsome young men, gentle and elegant, and very handsome. How come they now look like warriors, with their clothes and hair neatly tied, and their whole bodies exuding a strong aura.

"His Majesty."

"If the old minister is not mistaken."

"Your two highnesses should now be top-notch masters, and they should have seen blood."

Pei Yun, the former imperial censor of the Sui Dynasty, suddenly said something that shocked the whole audience.

"what?"

"Dong'er, You'er, you are serious..."

Yang Guang couldn't believe it.

"Reply to Grandpa Huang."

"My third brother and I are indeed first-rate experts, and we are already in the mid-level first-rate level."

"There are many students like me and my third brother in the Chang'an Martial Arts Hall. The outstanding students in the Martial Arts Hall are already half-step masters."

"It is also thanks to my uncle's concern that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send elixirs every year, so our cultivation can grow so fast."

Yang Tong opened his mouth to answer.

"uncle?"

"Kou Zhong is in Chang'an?"

Hearing this name, Yang Guang seemed to ask with some anticipation.

"No."

"My uncle is not in Chang'an. There are only a few ladies and Duke Jiang Guo in Chang'an."

"Jiang Guoping is always at the Lantian camp not far away during the day. The person in charge of affairs in the palace is usually Mrs. Yun."

Yang Tong replied calmly.

"Dong'er, my grandmother only knows that King Chu has five wives: Mrs. Song, Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Shang, Mrs. Shi, and Mrs. Wanwan. Who is this Mrs. Yun?"

Before coming, Queen Xiao had made some preparations, but just like this, she became even more confused.

Before Yang Tong could speak, Yang You on the side replied: "Grandma, I know, I know."

"Mrs. Yun is the general manager of Daxing Palace and the former leader of the Jukun Gang."

"...Right now, Mrs. Shi is the female gardener's wine minister, Mrs. Wanwan is the female gardener's young minister, Mrs. Shang is the pastor and supervisor, and Mrs. Shi is also the female garden's lecturer."

"Therefore, only Mrs. Yun is available to preside over matters related to the inner court."

"In the past, the rewards distributed by the House of Internal Affairs to the princes and earls were personally reviewed by Mrs. Yun."

"Even the daily life of my second brother and I is handled by Mrs. Yun. Mrs. Yun is very kind to us, and there are several other ladies who are also kind to us."

"It's just that we haven't seen Mrs. Song. We heard that Mrs. Song is leading an army in Lingnan to fight."

Geek!

When these words fell into the ears of Yang Guang and others, they were all stunned.

All the dignified kings and wives of the Chu Kingdom were extremely busy, but a concubine was in charge of the affairs of the inner court.
