Seven hundred miles may be a long way for a mortal, but for Xu Yuan, a transformed ghost, even if he suppresses his speed, it is only half a day's journey.
To be honest, Xu Yuan had some expectations for the barbarian holy city.
However, after seeing the small city wall, which was only less than twenty feet tall, a trace of inexplicable disappointment flashed through his eyes.
It's like being used to big cities and suddenly returning to a small county town, and telling you that this is the best area.
Through the dark night with no snowflakes falling, Xu Yuan was speeding and looking at the barbarian holy city standing in the huge canyon. He suddenly turned back to Li Qingyan and asked:
"Qing Yan, after this battle, will we station troops here permanently?"
He thought of the Western Region Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty in his previous life.
Li Qingyan glanced at him with a slightly strange look in his red eyes, with a funny smile:
"Are you an idiot?"
Xu Yuan replied nonchalantly:
"The city is ready-made and there is no need for city-building resources. If troops are stationed here permanently and a regular sweep is organized every year, there is a high probability that the barbarians will never become a force."
"It's a good idea."
As he was about to arrive at the barbarian holy city, Li Qingyan was obviously in a good mood. After giving a compliment, he pointed a slender jade finger at the surrounding darkness and said:
"To station troops permanently in a place like this, let's not talk about the morale of the soldiers. Do you know how much resources are consumed every year for just one song?"
"I'm not a general, how do I know?" Xu Yuan answered in a bachelor's manner.
Li Qingyan kicked him, and after being dodged, his red lips curled up:
"ten times."
"ah?"
"Garrisoning troops here will consume ten times more supplies to support an army than in Great Yan."
Li Qingyan said unhurriedly: "If you want to completely suppress this extremely dark place, one Qu's troops are not enough. You need at least a battalion of elite garrison, engraving formation patterns, entertainment for soldiers, cold-proof supplies, food and salary subsidies, etc." These are astronomical figures. Moreover, in this extremely dark place hanging outside the great flames, nothing will happen in a short period of time. What about ten or decades from now?"
After saying that, she looked at Xu Yuan like she was looking at an idiot.
Xu Yuan glanced at her and said amusedly:
"This is the achievement of opening up territory and expanding territory."
"The merit of expanding the soil?"
There was a hint of anger in Li Qingyan's handsome eyes:
"According to Chang Tianqi's calculation, in the past ten years or so, I have expanded thousands of miles of land to the north for Dayan, pushing the battle line from Beifeng City to Houting County and then to Dali Mountain."
"If defending the enemy outside the country's gates means expanding the territory, then the ability to expand the territory will be too easy."
"."
Seeing the unconcerned look on the stunning red dress, Xu Yuan didn't understand the brain circuit of this breast-wrapped princess.
This is not called Tutu, so what is Tutu?
Fight the barbarians from Beifeng all the way to Dali Mountain, and then build an altar to offer sacrifices to the sky, and you can seal the wolf as a Xu.
Seemingly noticing Xu Yuan's gaze, Li Qingyan's beautiful eyes softened:
"Long days.
"Today's world,
"It can be said that the contribution of expanding the soil is only that of Guyuan."
"."
After looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yuan opened his mouth, but no words came out.
He suddenly understood the definition of earth-expanding power in the heart of the princess in red.
Expanding the land can make the national power of the dynasty stronger, rather than consuming the national power of the dynasty to maintain a circle of useless land.
Nowadays, the only land that is attractive to the Dayan Dynasty is Gu Yuan.
From the annual tide of monsters, we can see how strong Gu Yuan's family background is.
The ancient abyss where the demon clan is entrenched has fertile land and abundant spiritual energy, which is very suitable for the growth of various elixirs and has an abundance of various materials.
The particularity of the Ancient Abyss Monster Clan has created a very bad reality.
Gu Yuan wants to fight Dayan, and the two are directly adjacent.
But if Dayan wants to attack Guyuan, he must first cross the Wanxing Mountains, a primitive mountain forest that is so huge that the edges cannot be seen.
And in that kind of undulating mountain terrain, as long as you dare to invade, Gu Yuan occupies an absolute advantage.
What's more important is that the sect will also cause trouble during this period, and even make big news that will destroy the country.
That is to say,
Unless the sect is wiped out, Dayan will not be able to attack at all, and Li Qingyan's dream of expanding the territory will not be realized.
"Don't look at me like that. The matter about Gu Yuan is just talk."
Li Qingyan snorted and threw a red gauze curtain to Xu Yuan: "Take it with you, we are going into the city."
Xu Yuan subconsciously took it and hesitated slightly:
"What do I do with this?"
Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Yuan's red eyes and the strange markings on his handsome cheeks:
"Find a mirror and see if you look like a human being now? Don't cause unnecessary trouble."
Xu Yuan smiled when he heard this, flew closer, and asked:
"Don't you think that my young master looks evilly handsome?"
"Shut up and take it with you."
Li Qingyan glanced at him sideways, raised his hand and pressed his face, pushing him away and saying with disgust: "Return to your human body as soon as possible, your ghost body looks disgusting."
"A duplicitous woman."
Xu Yuan touched his chin and clasped the red gauze fence on his head. He smiled tentatively and vaccinated the breast-wrapped princess:
"Let's talk about it first. It was my consort who saved you in the dead underground palace. After I lose my mortal cultivation, you can't even think about revenge."
"."
Li Qingyan looked back after hearing this, stared at him for a few breaths, glanced at Bai Muxi, and suddenly smiled sweetly and meaningfully:
"Okay, I'll fight for it~"
"."
Seeing her restored arrogance through the red gauze of the curtain, Xu Yuan hissed softly, stretched out his hand to grab her, and said teasingly:
"Hey, I am still a strong man who has transformed from the mortal world. You'd better respect me."
A team of 100 people in the Barbarian Holy City conducts routine daily patrols on the city wall.
Although the nearby barbarians have been wiped out and there is a high probability that no barbarians will attack the city, the strict discipline of the elite division allows them to abide by the marching discipline.
Li Yongliang walked at the forefront, sighing all the way.
The job of going to report the abnormality was finally handed over to the guy from Wangcheng.
Although it was agreed that most of the military merits of the intelligence here would be given to him, but thinking about it carefully, this was one of the few opportunities to show his face in front of the Marquis.
To make someone like the Marquis look familiar. This is much more powerful than some military force.
Empire,
You deserve to die.
He actually plotted against me, an honest man.
Thinking about it, Li Yongliang felt sad and sighed again:
"well"
"well."
"well!!"
"."
Afterwards, a group of Beifeng soldiers in white armor looked at the boss in front of him who kept sighing. You looked at me and I looked at you. There was silence.
The boss has been like this since a few days ago, and no one dares to say anything or ask.
A group of hundreds of people patrolled amidst this constant sighing.
After an unknown amount of time, the white-armored soldiers suddenly noticed that the sighs at the front of the queue had stopped.
Li Yongliang looked forward with doubtful eyes, only to see that he was staring blankly at the sky southeast of the barbarian holy city.
"."
Li Yongliang felt the resonance energy coming from the exercises in his body.
The military formation technique in the army is very unique. It is similar to the Zimu technique. It is like a pyramid, layer by layer, controlling each layer.
Ordinary soldiers practice the Zi Kung Fu, and the corps commander is considered the lowest Mother Kung Fu. As a general, Li Yongliang, who practices the Military Formation Kung Fu, is already considered the backbone of an army.
After experiencing thousands of battle formations, he can sense the call of martial arts that are usually at the level of a tooth general or a captain.
And at this moment,
Li Yongliang sensed that Qi Ji belonged to the coach.
He remembered that there were only two people in the huge Beifeng army who knew this technique.
One is Mr. Hou.
The other is His Highness.
With his mind spinning, Li Yongliang directly began to run the technique with all his strength.
Although he didn't understand the situation, as an elite, he knew very well that the resonance of Qi Ji was a signal given by the commander-in-chief to these middle-level generals to open the military formation.
Not only Li Yongliang, but also the entire Beifeng Army generals stationed in the barbarian holy city all sensed the energetic inspiration of the leader's technique.
Without any hesitation, even Bai Jiaqi, who was enjoying herself on the bed, stopped her waist and began to use her skills subconsciously.
This is the war literacy that belongs to the truly elite generals of Dayan.
After the generals, there are ordinary soldiers inspired by their martial arts.
"Now, I am still a powerful person who has transformed from the mortal world. You'd better respect me."
High in the sky outside the city, Xu Yuan's expression froze before he could finish his laughing words.
He suddenly felt that her aura with the flying red robe suddenly changed and became extremely dangerous.
military formation
Smash it with your mouth,
While carefully retracting his dirty hands, Xu Yuan coughed lightly and changed his words:
".cough..respect"
"Snapped."
The hand she wanted to take back was held by her backhand, and Li Qingyan pulled him closer.
With his long hair floating in the wind in front of his stunning face, Li Qingyan tilted his head with a pair of red-flamed phoenix eyes, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes:
"Changtian, I don't seem to have heard clearly. What were you talking about just now?"
