Zhu Hou has cultivation in his body, so it won't be a big deal if the Yin spirit is pulled out. But these three soldiers only learned some physical strengthening techniques, and when their Yin spirits returned to their places, they felt dizzy and sore. After a while, they all woke up.
One person mentioned that he had a strange dream, and the three of them were all stunned. Knowing that this matter was not trivial, they quickly grabbed their weapons and ran into the camp in a hurry.
Li Bochen was worried that the commander of the camp would see the three of them in the same group and be suspicious of colluding in making up lies, so he found a few more people and told them the same dream.
When these people all rushed back to the camp, he went back across the grassland and found a hiding place near a large camp of Xuantu Army, hoping to use his Yin spirit to explore the camp. Where are the armored vehicles.
But this time I failed to do so - when I was thirty or forty steps closer to the military camp, I felt a red light in my field of vision, and the evil aura was soaring into the sky, making it difficult to get closer. In the past, when he was in Wuliang City, he would also set up some magic circles when setting up camp to prevent monks from sneaking in. Looking at it now, this magic circle is also useful for Yin spirits. Besides, there are mostly young and strong people in the camp, and the evil spirit and murderous aura are intertwined, which is even more serious.
He had no choice but to go back, find the place where he came out last night, and go in.
It was only around six o'clock in the morning when we returned to the village. No one saw him along the way, so he entered Chang's house. When being led into the middle hall by the maid, Chang Xiu and Chang Qiu Wu had just had breakfast.
Before the two of them could speak, he said: "Grandpa, I'm here. I'm going to seize the armored chariot from the Xuantu Army camp tonight."
Both of them were stunned. Chang Qiuwu was about to speak, but Chang Xiu stopped him with his eyes. He held the tea cup and thought for a while, then said: "Junhou, you are going to use troops abroad."
There were only about fifty people in the village, and he had no intention of actually asking them to fight the enemy. "Using troops" was a bit exaggerated. But Li Bochen sat down and just said: "So be it."
Chang Xiu thought about it again and said: "Your Majesty, the armored chariot is indeed a sharp weapon. We will have it sooner or later. But we are not in a hurry. There are only about fifty soldiers in the village and they have not been drilled. With these people, even if they are added If you come to me or follow me, you may not be able to get benefits in the enemy's camp."
Li Boxen said: "Grandpa, I certainly won't lead these fifty people into the camp. I already have a plan."
The two looked at each other and Chang Xiu said, "Oh? What's the plan?"
Li Boxen said: "The plan is to have Zhu Hou fight with the soldiers of Xuantu City."
After saying this, he realized that Chang Xiu probably didn't know this allusion, so he wanted to change his words, but Chang Xiu thought about it and said: "Oh, are you planning to ask Zhu Hou to fight with them first? Have you already found Zhu Hou? "
"Yes. Not only did I find him, but I also found the secret realm of Thunder Cloud Cave. Zhu Hou was in the secret realm with nearly two hundred soldiers under his command. I planned for them to raid at night, so that Xuan Tu's army might be caught off guard. I happened to take advantage of the chaos to seize the car."
Chang Xiu thought for a while and said, "Junhou, can you explain it in more detail?"
Li Bochen smiled and said: "Grandpa, if it's about other things, Bochen will tell you everything. But you just said that this is to use troops - since it is a military aircraft, I really can't go into details."
In fact, it can also be explained in detail. The only one that is more sensitive is the part where the bluestone fell. But Li Bochen thought that Chang Xiu had never seen him leading troops in a battle, and he felt that he was only in the Qi-nurturing realm, so he should be very worried. Now I want to ask all the details clearly to see if there are any omissions.
Li Bochen knew that he was not a willful person, but he had to do it this time. Yesterday he said that he was in charge of the military and the Chang family were in charge of people's livelihood. But last night, it seemed that the people in the village were more concerned about the two Chang family members. He didn't want to start fighting for power today, but he also wanted to let his grandfather know that he had some abilities.
You have to act stronger. The strong man's concession and tolerance are regarded as magnanimous. But what about the concessions made by the weak? It will only be seen as cowardly. In Chang Xiu's heart, he has always been just a junior with no title of king. Even if they have good intentions, they will neglect them unknowingly.
Li Boxen thought to himself, this is also for the future. The current situation is also so that it will not be difficult to end in the future.
Chang Xiu thought for a while and said: "Well, since the Lord has decided to use troops, we can only obey the order. But Lord, please take Fengzhi with you. I am an old man, but Fengzhi is still in his prime. It should come in handy.”
Li Bochen had seen Chang Qiuwu's skills in the mountains before. His cultivation level is good, but his combat awareness is so poor that he feels a little disgusted. But after thinking about it, he just said: "Okay, thank you grandpa."
——If you insist on not taking Chang Qiuwu with you, it would be a bit prudent.
At this point, Li Boxen felt something was wrong. In fact, before he came, he thought that Chang Xiu would stop him in every possible way, but he didn't expect that he agreed happily. He might be a little bit like a villain to judge a gentleman.
He sat and talked for a while, then stood up and left.
When we walked into the courtyard, we met several stewards. They were greeting each other by cupping their hands, calling each other "Zhang Jian", "Liu Pian", "Chen Cheng", "Meng Shi" and so on. Seeing Li Boxen, they turned around and said in unison: "Greetings to the Lord!"
Li Boxen was in a good mood at this time, so he smiled and said: "You guys are on duty early in the morning?"
Everyone was stunned and didn't speak for a while. Li Bochen thought to himself, do they think I am mocking?
But Chen Qiao, whom I met last night, said: "Go back to Junhou, today we will discuss the matter of selecting a location to build the Yamen. The Yamen must be built before Junhou is enthroned."
Choosing a site to build a government office? Li Bochen thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll spare your trouble. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Everyone bowed again and watched him leave. Li Bochen walked out of the door and thought to himself, Fang Yu said last night that his grandfather was looking down on him by asking them to work in Changzhai, but now he saw that he was wrong. The yamen hadn't been built yet, so it was indeed more convenient to stay in Changzhai - it was the largest place in the neighborhood.
Just, building a government office?
He really never thought about such long-term things. In the past, he just thought that he could just find a place to deal with some things. There are thousands of people in this village, so there shouldn't be much to do. Moreover, Sui Wujiu is coming, and maybe the demon army will be coming in the future. If the situation is not good, we have to be mobile, right?
He really couldn't tell how long he could stand here. But looking at the things that grandpa is planning now, it seems that he will stay here for a long time. Why does he have such confidence?
I have secrets, maybe grandpa and the others also have secrets.
He walked back home. As soon as Fang Chu saw him, he said anxiously: "General, where have you gone? If you don't come back, I'm going to find Lady Meng!"
Li Bochen walked into the main room and found that Fang Yu had already filled the water. He took out the knife and put it on the table. While washing his face and hands, he said, "Eh? If I don't come back, what are you going to do with Mrs. Meng?"
Fang Chu said: "Are you doing something important? I guess you don't want others to know. If you don't come back today, I have to go to Mrs. Meng and ask her to tell her, General, you can spend the night talking with her husband." , I was really tired, so I was still asleep. Your grandpa and the others must have believed what she said."
Li Bochen picked up the handkerchief to wipe his face and said with a smile: "Didn't you say last night that we would confiscate the surrender certificate?"
Fang Bao said: "That's the same thing. We confiscated it last night and asked them for help today. They naturally feel that we treat them as one of our own. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
Li Bochen thought to himself that if he didn't come back today, Fang Cheng would definitely have a way. This method seems to be really good. He then said: "Yeah, that's fine. I did have something important to do last night - tonight, we are going to steal the Xuantu Army's camp and get an armored vehicle back."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Seriously?"
Then he said: "Okay! General, let your grandpa and others see what we are capable of!"
Li Bochen put down his handkerchief, walked into the room to wear armor, and said: "Go and call the people here later, and I'll talk to them. Also, Brother Fang, you have to be a military judge tonight."
Fang Yu said in a deep voice: "General, do you want to kill people to establish your authority?"
Li Bochen smiled and said: "It's not that evil. But you have to help me watch the reactions of those people. If there are any who are impressed, write them down so that we can use them later."
Fang Yu shouted: "This is your order! General, I'm going to call someone right now!"
He turned back to the house, took out the knife, and ran out. Li Bochen put on his armor, went to the kitchen to get some cakes, and sat on the stone steps of the main room to chew them slowly. After eating four of them, he sighed and thought to himself, Xiaoman, I think this place will start to become popular in a while. I don't know what you are doing now.
I won't let you down, and I hope you won't let me down either.
About half an hour later, Fang Yu brought the person over. Fifty-three people were quite a lot, and they were all wearing armor. But many of them looked like they had just woken up and looked a little haggard. There was a piece of wasteland under the slope of his house, so he gathered people there.
When Li Bochen arrived, he reluctantly lined up. Fang Cheng got a pair of armor from somewhere and wore it, and he looked very energetic. When he saw Li Bochen, he shouted: "General, everyone is here!"
Li Bochen put the bag he was carrying on the ground, nodded, and Fang Bao walked to him with the knife in his hand.
He looked at these people and named four people. The four people responded and stood at the front.
Li Boxen said: "The four of you have good cultivation, and I have temporarily appointed you to be the ten generals leading the troops. As for your soldiers, you can choose them yourself. I will give you a quarter of an hour."
These people must have seen his appearance when he defeated the Centurion, and they felt a little in awe. Although there was a lot of fussing around, after two quarters of an hour, I had already made my choice.
Four ten-man teams, and no one wants the remaining thirteen.
Li Bochen pointed at the thirteen people and said, "You will be my personal soldiers."
Then he pointed at Fang Yu and said, "He is your ten generals."
Those thirteen people didn't look thin and cowardly, but they probably didn't get along with the forty or so people who were chosen, or they were outsiders, or they had some other small problems. When Li Bochen said this, he immediately cheered a little.
Fang Yu walked to them and shouted in a deep voice: "Shut up!"
Li Bochen was previously worried that he would not be able to lead troops, but now he realized that he was used to following Sui Ziang in the Yamen of Zhangcheng Mansion. I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs running away. Now at a glance, he is the most presentable among the fifty-four people.
When these people became quiet, Li Boxen said: "Let me ask you first, why do you want to be my soldiers?"
No one spoke. Li Boxen raised his hand and nodded to someone, saying, "You tell."
The man was stunned and looked around. The people around me said: "What are you looking at? I just called you!"
The man then opened his mouth, thought for a while, and then said: "Help the king win the world!"
Li Bochen stared at him for a while and remained silent. This person felt that he had made a mistake and was a little panicked for a moment. Seeing Li Bochen like this, and there were a few people nearby who wanted to laugh at him, they all turned serious.
Seeing them like this, Li Bochen said: "Fart. The reason for being a soldier is to eat food."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.
Li Bochen showed a smile on his face and said: "Soldiers eat food. I said the same thing when I was a soldier. Many of you have families in the villages, so you should use this military food to feed your families. This is the law of nature and humanity.”
Then he said: "But people can survive by eating food, but if monsters come, how can they survive? You people have never seen monsters. I didn't see them before I went to Beiyuan. Over the past thousands of years in the Six Kingdoms, monsters have The beasts are always further north. Today I am going to tell you how scary those things are, but I’m afraid you won’t take it to heart. But don’t worry, maybe in another year and a half, the demonic army and the demonic beasts will be there. Here we are.”
When he said this, everyone was stunned.
Li Bochen smiled and said: "What, you don't believe it? I said a year and a half is still too slow, maybe the attack will come in two or three months. Everyone, by that time, your family will not be able to survive just by eating food. At that time, What should we do? Flee south? We can escape the Demon Kingdom, but we cannot escape famine."
"So why did you become soldiers? To feed the soldiers, to support your family. And also because one day, the people from the Demon Kingdom really come over. Even if you die, you can't let them harm your wife, children and children."
He thought for a while and then said: "I am not Zhu Hou. When you are my soldier, don't think about competing with the common people. You have to compete with the demon country, or with the Sui Kingdom's suppressing army and border army. In a year or two Come down, all fifty-four of you may be gone. Maybe one or two will survive - if anyone really survives until then, I will make him a commander or commander."
"Actually, I have a chance tonight - tonight, I plan to steal the soldiers' camp in Xuantu City. This must be done with real swords and guns."
When he said this, Fang Yu kept winking.
Li Bochen ignored him and looked at everyone again. He saw that many people had fear on their faces, and some just had dull faces, unable to tell what they were thinking.
He said: "So the first thing today - after listening to my words, if anyone doesn't want to be my soldier, please put down your armor and go home. I will never hold you accountable afterwards."
Everyone was silent for a moment. After a while, Fang Yucai said: "Your Majesty means what he says. If you don't want to do anything, just put down your things and leave - everyone has a family and a family, so there is nothing to be ashamed of."
After a while, someone said: "Junhou... I am the only male in my family. My wife is still ill. I have four children. I also have some farmland at home... I want to go back to farm and provide food for Junhou." …”
Li Bochen nodded and said: "You know how to love your wife, so good. Let's go."
The man quickly bowed a few times, carefully took off his armor and put it aside on the ground, then ran away with his body bowed. After making this move, a few more people also spoke, and Li Bochen all agreed.
The people who followed said no more, took off their armor like thieves, and left. A quarter of an hour passed, and only eighteen people remained.
