It is difficult to raise troops, especially to maintain an elite cavalry force of 100,000. The resources required are extremely huge. From this point of view, even if Wei Jinfeng controls a state, he can only maintain 300,000 soldiers. Liang Jun could tell.
It's almost a gold-swallowing behemoth.
However, soldiers in the army cannot but be recruited.
Whether he wants to conquer the world or dominate the world, Chen Yuan needs a huge army.
He alone can control an entire country or even a state, but what about the world? Personal prestige alone cannot secure the world, so he must start from a weak position and train an iron cavalry that is loyal to him.
As for the cost, Chen Yuan had long ago set his sights on the aristocratic families in the south, as well as various sect forces that had been passed down for hundreds of years. They were the best granaries.
It has been passed down for hundreds of years, just right to make his wedding dress.
During the Nanzhou trip, Chen Yuan made a lot of profits from the Su family, which strengthened his determination.
Su Ziyue raised her head and glanced at Chen Yuan, nodding slightly:
"This is not a bad idea, but if you target a wealthy family like them, they won't sit still and wait to be killed.
Once they join forces, their strength cannot be underestimated. "
"Of course it is impossible to simply kill them all. The right way is to divide them and draw them together. The Shangguan clan is an example. I had already told Shangguan Tiehong about this before he came to see me.
Now, I think I have already started making preparations. "
"You are so well prepared, it seems I can't help you with anything."
Chen Yuan shook his head, stared into her bright eyes, and said:
"I can't sit in one place all the time. You need to take care of the logistics for me."
"Would Mrs. Xu be willing to do so?"
Su Ziyue knew Mrs. Xu's current status and role, so it was impossible to refuse. Chen Yuan could decide with just one sentence, but I'm afraid she didn't feel like it in her heart.
Men like power, and women also like it.
"Don't worry, madam, your heart is like a mirror."
Chen Yuan chuckled.
Last time, Mrs. Xu made it clear that she would not compete for the position of the eldest wife's wife, nor was she qualified for it.
All she wanted was to be a second child.
Su Ziyue is better than Mrs. Xu in terms of cultivation, age, skills and appearance. If she has any brains, she will definitely be very obedient.
"Let's go and meet the beauties of your harem."
Su Ziyue said with a cool temperament.
"Just see it, what's so scary?"
In Tangshan Fucheng, in the back house of the Tianxun Division, Mrs. Xu said these words with calm eyes. Beside her, sat Shen Yanshu, Shangguan Hong and Yu Qingyan.
As early as a few days ago, when Chen Yuan was still at Qiyue Mountain in Nanzhou, he asked Jiang He to pass the message on his behalf, telling his intelligence organization so that Xu Chen and the girls could be prepared.
Now, after several days, the information has reached Tangshan Fucheng.
Mrs. Xu, who received Chen Yuan's autographed letter, had people call Shangguanhong and the other girls. After all, they were all related to Chen Yuan, either nominally or actually.
As for Yu Qingyan, although the other party tried her best to refute it, she guessed that it would be a matter of time.
There was some inexplicable panic on Shangguan Hong's face, as if a concubine was about to meet his real wife. She completely lost the heroic spirit when she first met Chen Yuan. Her beautiful eyes swept over the sisters around her one by one, and she broke the silence softly:
"Have any of you seen this sister named Su?"
Yu Qingyan was silent, like a transparent person.
Mrs. Xu also shook her head. Not only had she seen this so-called Miss Su, she seemed to have never even heard of her. However, Chen Yuan's letter was so solemn that she was not a simple woman.
Although I had already prepared this in my heart, at this moment, although I still refused to admit defeat, I actually felt a little uneasy in my heart.
At the same time, I was also a little disappointed.
Her appearance and figure are as good as anyone's, but she has no family background and cannot help Chen Yuan. Moreover, she also has an extremely important weakness, that is, she has been married.
Although Chen Yuan knew that she was still innocent, others did not.
Also, she is twice as old as Chen Yuan.
Sometimes I sigh in my heart, I was born before you were born, but you are already old after you were born.
"Where's Sister Shen?"
Seeing that both Mrs. Xu and Yu Qingyan were silent, only Shen Yanshu looked strange after hearing the news. Shangguanhong instinctively felt that she knew something, and immediately asked.
Hearing this, Yu Qingyan, who was originally calm in the ancient well, subconsciously looked over.
Mrs. Xu’s eyelashes trembled slightly and she raised her head:
"Yanshu, have you seen this Miss Su?"
Shen Yanshu hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly:
"I did meet a girl named Su, but I don't know if she is the one mentioned in Yuanlang's letter."
She had only been in contact with Su Ziyue for a few days. After Li Suqing took her in, she never saw her again or even heard from her.
I asked Chen Yuan before, but the answer he got was not very clear.
"How does it look?"
"How is your character?"
"How is your cultivation?"
Mrs. Xu, Shangguanhong and Yu Qingyan couldn't help but ask each other.
Shen Yanshu recalled the stunned face before and said:
"She has a beautiful appearance that is rare in the world, and there is a charming aura escaping from her whole body. Her cultivation level should be above the elixir realm, but I don't know exactly what it is. As for her character, I only stayed with her for a few days. , don’t understand.”
"How does it compare with Sister Xu?" Shangguanhong couldn't help but ask.
Among them, Yu Qingyan has the coldest temperament, and her appearance is also outstanding, but if we talk about appearance alone, Mrs. Xu is actually slightly better.
"Everyone has his own merits," Shen Yanshu whispered.
As soon as she heard this sentence, Mrs. Xu knew that it was Shen Yanshu who could not compare to that person in appearance. His appearance must be rare in the world. After pondering for a moment, she continued to ask:
"Can you tell me about the scene when you first met?"
"Yes, Sister Shen."
Shen Yanshu frowned slightly, recalling their previous meeting, and said:
"I was practicing at that time"
Shen Yanshu explained in detail what happened at that time and the situation he was in. Chen Yuan had broken through Tongxuan and was about to leave Nanling, and she wanted to follow him.
But before she could meet Chen Yuan, a beautiful woman named Su approached her and said that her current cultivation level was just a burden and she was willing to find a high-class immortal sect for her to practice.
And the sect she chose was the Goddess Palace.
After all, this happened just over a year ago, and Shen Yanshu actually remembered it very clearly.
"In other words, this Miss Su has some friendship with Master?" Yu Qingyan said softly.
"It seems that it is very likely that he is a real person in the realm of Huayang. No wonder." Shangguan Hong said indifferently, but he immediately understood that he was wrong and shut up immediately.
Mrs. Xu was silent for a long time, then forced out a smile:
"It's useless no matter how much we say now. After this Miss Su comes to Tangshan, it will naturally become clear. It will be great if she can help the Marquis."
"That's what Sister Xu said."
"Well, then I."
Before Shen Yanshu finished speaking, a little maid hurriedly ran in from outside, panting and saying quickly:
"Madam, madam"
"What's wrong? Could it be that something happened?"
Seeing that the maid was so eager, Mrs. Xu's expression suddenly changed, thinking that something big had happened down there.
"No, no, it's the Marquis who is back, and there is a very beautiful woman with him."
The maid finished this sentence intermittently.
The women in the room froze for a moment. This could be said to be Miss Su, and Miss Su arrived.
Finally, Mrs. Xu stood up and chuckled:
"Since Mr. Marquis and Miss Su are already here, of course we should go and meet them."
In front of the house of the Patrol Division, Chen Yuan and Su Ziyue walked into the courtyard while talking to each other. After returning from the Tangshan Mountains, the two went straight to this place.
It only took a quarter of an hour to arrive here.
Originally, Chen Yuan wanted to notify Madam Xu in the hospital through telepathy, but Su Ziyue stopped him, saying that he wanted to meet Madam Xu.
Mrs. Xu had never heard of her, but she had already started paying attention to this woman.
They had never known each other before, but when she was young and traveling in the world, she had heard of the title of the most beautiful woman in Shuzhou. Unfortunately, she later married the owner of the Cangbing Valley.
I didn’t pay attention to it anymore.
The second time she paid attention many years later was when Chen Yuan took her back to Tangshan and took charge of Tangshan as Chen Yuan's wife, controlling all major and minor affairs.
"Zi Yue, please wait." Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, wanting to ask Su Ziyue to calm down later and avoid any conflicts, but before he could finish speaking, Su Ziyue nodded and said:
"I know what to do."
Entering the second door, the maid at the door bowed and saluted, and Chen Yuan and Su Ziyue also saw Mrs. Xu and others coming forward at a glance, and smiled at them.
"I've met the Marquis!"
"I've met the Marquis."
"I've seen it."
Mrs. Xu was the first to salute, looking like a lady, followed by Shen Yanshu and Shangguan Hong. As for Yu Qingyan, she also bowed, but didn't say much.
"Is this Miss Su?" Mrs. Xu raised her head and looked directly at Su Ziyue, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Whether she admitted it or not, when she saw Su Ziyue for the first time, Mrs. Xu had a sense of wonder. Feeling of frustration.
She is beautiful!
No matter her appearance or figure, she is not inferior to her, or even better.
Not to mention her family background and cultivation.
This is natural, otherwise Chen Yuan wouldn't have had the slightest thought the first time he met Su Ziyue. Those pair of headlights were unparalleled.
Not long ago, when Qiyue Mountain Cave Mansion suppressed the fire for her, Chen Yuan discovered another advantage of Su Ziyue that had not been discovered before.
Simply put, it’s Buffett.
Stock god!
Wearing a long skirt on weekdays, it can only be seen that his figure is excellent, but when faced with it calmly, Chen Yuan really couldn't control it.
Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, this is the girl Twilight Yue mentioned in my letter."
"Miss Su is polite."
"Miss Su is polite."
Shen Yanshu and Shangguan Hong also nodded.
"These."
"I know." Su Ziyue put a smile on her face, stepped forward, took Mrs. Xu's hand, and said with a smile:
"You are sister Wenxiu, right? Yuan Lang has mentioned you to me a long time ago, saying that you have helped him a lot, sitting in Tangshan for him and handling various things for him."
Xu Wenxiu is Mrs. Xu's real name. Listening to Su Ziyue holding her hand and calling her sister, and assuming the posture of a lady when she came up, Mrs. Xu could only smile reluctantly:
"It would be great if I could help Mr. Hou."
"Yanshu, long time no see." Su Ziyue greeted Mrs. Xu and then turned her attention to Shen Yanshu.
"Senior Susu."
"What do you call me senior? From now on we are all one family, we call you sister."
"Sister Su" Shen Yanshu responded quickly.
Whether it was the last contact with Su Ziyue or this time, she was always at a disadvantage, but she didn't expect too much.
As long as this sister is easy to get along with.
"Sister Shangguan, before"
"Fairy Fish, please pay homage to your master for me."
Su Ziyue took the initiative and showed her attitude as soon as they met. However, because of her cultivation and status, Mrs. Xu and others could only give in.
However, Chen Yuan still saw some reluctance on Mrs. Xu's face.
Yes, no matter how many preparations were made before, it was always difficult to accept the moment when they met. Fortunately, after Su Ziyue confirmed her status at the beginning, she did not act arrogantly, and instead treated them very warmly. chat.
Mrs. Xu, Shen Yanshu and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Yuan was thinking, how can they eliminate these alienation and barriers in a short time?
Be honest?
Blood State, Liangshan.
When Chen Yuan arrived at Tangshan Fucheng, Song Lun, the master of Liangshan Dazhai and a scholar in white, was also preparing something.
In the dark secret room, Song Lun opened his eyes, and the whole secret room became much brighter. Looking at the telegraph instrument in his hand that had been burnt to ashes, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Deep in his eyes, there was a hint of coldness.
It is true that Liangshan's rise was helped by the Xiang family, and he has always been grateful to Xiang Qianqiu for his support and appreciation, but people's ambitions gradually change with the passage of status and time.
In the past, he was just a poor scholar who unexpectedly became a bandit. All his ambitions were reduced to ashes, and he only wanted to survive in the world.
Not to mention his great ambitions, he would be satisfied even if he could only live the rest of his life in peace.
But now, he is no longer the down-and-out scholar he once was. He has reached the level of Yang God, has been on the Supreme Heavenly Ranking, and is admired by countless people.
As soon as the banner was raised, all the heroes in the world rushed to vote, and they held a strong army of nearly 200,000 in their hands.
There are also many Huayang Masters following him, and his ambitions naturally grow accordingly.
At first, he was dissatisfied with Xiang Qianqiu's control over him. He felt that he was just a pawn, and that the foundations of Liangshan might even be just his wedding dress.
Then, Lu Guangsheng, the elder of the Xiang family, came to Liangshan to take charge, and he began to act as the second leader as soon as he arrived, using various means to win over influence in Liangshan.
He had tolerated it, but there was always anger in his heart.
It is true that Liang Shan received support from the Xiang family, and it was with the help of Xiang Qianqiu that he was able to rise to prominence so smoothly and his cultivation level soared.
But apart from those resource supports, Liangshan was actually built by him. From a weak one to the top force in Blood State today, he put in countless efforts.
He accepted becoming a subordinate. After all, Xiang Qianqiu helped him a lot, but Xiang Qianqiu wanted to surpass him and directly control everything in Liangshan, but he refused.
His brothers who followed him would not agree either.
The knife was almost on his neck, and he had to move.
Because he didn't know what other methods Xiang Qianqiu had, he didn't dare to contact other immortal sects and forces rashly. After careful consideration, he thought of the imperial court!
At that time, the world was peaceful, but there were already turbulent waves secretly, and Liangshan became a serious problem in the eyes of the imperial court. He secretly sent his confidants to the capital.
In the first year of Yu Jingtai's reign, on the sixth day of June, I finally got in touch with the court.
At the beginning, both parties were testing each other, and gradually they built up trust. He had shackles on him, which were left behind by Xiang Qianqiu in his early years.
Although he was still very weak at that time, even now, he cannot solve it by himself and needs the help of a spiritual object from the court.
As a price, he revealed that the Xiang family was behind Liangshan.
A long time passed, and Jingtai gave him what he wanted. The two parties have been in close contact and have never revealed any news about this.
Jingtai gave him a lot of things and promises, promising that after he destroyed the Xiang family and took control of Liangshan, he would entrust the entire Blood State to him, becoming the third king of a different surname in the imperial court, and ascending to the sky in one step.
Song Lun happily agreed, because he indeed still had a lot of ambitions to stretch.
However, he is not a fool and knows the imperial court's urinal nature. Therefore, he has never really prepared to surrender to the imperial court. All he wants is to drive away tigers and devour wolves.
The imperial court will eradicate the Xiang family, and he will control the entire Liangshan. When the time comes, he will have hundreds of thousands of troops, and the initiative will be in his hands, just like Wei Jinfeng and Nangong Lie.
Even the court has to appease him, and even when the real time comes, there may not be a chance to wear the yellow robe and dominate the world.
A few days ago, almost before the invasion of the Northern Barbarians, Xiang Qianqiu came to him and asked him to start preparations and be ready to rebel at any time. He told Jingtai the news.
Both parties felt that they could no longer wait and must destroy the Xiang family as soon as possible.
The Xiang family may still be powerful without the immortal, but it is not enough to deter the court. As long as Xiang Qianqiu dies, they will have achieved their goal.
And the time is set for my 120th birthday in a few days!
On this day, Song Lun wanted to get rid of the control of others forever and become a chess player himself, not just an 'insignificant' chess piece!
