The difficulty of learning the Bahuangbu made Lu Yunyou even more interested in learning the Meteor Sword, so he patiently read the sword manual from beginning to end.
After reading it again, sure enough, some parts that were unclear before became understandable. Of course, there were still some parts that he couldn't understand no matter how many times he read it.
After reading the sword manual again, Lu Yunyou's attention returned to the beginning, and he re-read the sword manual's practice methods and various precautions during the practice word for word. In this way, he did not put down the sword manual until he felt that he could actually practice it. .
After clearing his thoughts, Lu Yunyou wanted to find a place to practice his sword skills, but when he opened the door, it was already dark outside. He didn't expect that it would be an afternoon.
Calculating the time, Xingjun should be busy eating. After subconsciously touching his stomach, Lu Yunyou, who had not eaten for a long time, was ready to eat something.
"It turns out to be General Lu, whose name I have admired for a long time." It turned out that not long after Lu Yunyou left, on the way, a star army general recognized his identity and took the initiative to say hello to him.
"I wonder where General Lu is going in such a hurry?" Seeing Lu Yunyou looking like he was in a hurry, another Star Army general suddenly asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Two generals, my subordinates are going to the dining place." The two people's active greetings made Lu Yunyou very uncomfortable. For some reason, he always felt that the smiles of those two people were a bit hypocritical.
"I see, it's getting late, so we won't delay General Lu from going to dinner," one of the generals immediately responded with a smile after knowing what Lu Yunyou was going to do.
"Excuse me," Lu Yunyou said with fire burning in his stomach. He didn't bother to say anything to the two of them. He hugged the two of them and walked forward.
As a result, when he arrived at the place where he was eating, he found that someone had already left for tea. It turned out that it was already past the meal time. There was no other way, so Lu Yunyou could only go back the way he came from, hungry.
On the way back, thinking about what happened when he met the two generals, Lu Yunyou felt more and more that those two people had bad intentions. Maybe they both knew that there was no food in the canteen, but they just didn't remind him. With this thought, Lu Yunyou He returned to his residence angrily.
It was a long night, and he wanted to pass the time by practicing, but he was unbearably hungry. He had no choice but to lie down and rest, struggling to survive the night.
The night was uneventful, but early the next morning, a horn sounded, awakening Lu Yunyou who was still sleeping. After getting up and finding a place to wash up, Lu Yunyou hurriedly followed the other generals to the camp to line up.
While lining up, Lu Yunyou formally met with the general above him, Yu Tong, and another deputy general. The older general was in his early fifties and had a decent appearance and figure. The young deputy general was about the same age as him and had a dignified appearance.
"Greetings to the general," when Yu Tong came over, another deputy general bowed directly and said, "My subordinate Zhang Jiutian."
"Greetings to the general," Lu Yunyou imitated that person and quickly bowed to the general: "My subordinate, Lu Yunyou."
While speaking, Lu Yunyou deliberately glanced at Xian beside him. He had never heard of Yu Tong's name, but the three words "Zhang Jiutian" were very familiar to him. He did not expect that the famous martial arts genius in the army would actually become him. colleagues.
Seeing that the other party was tall and impressive, and he did not look like an ordinary martial artist at first sight, Lu Yunyou hurriedly smiled at him and kept thinking that if Fang Qing and Ni Youbin knew that he was working with Zhang Jiutian, they would be as surprised as him. , besides being excited, he even couldn't wait to share the news with Fang Qing and Ni Youbin.
After the two sides greeted each other, a general above signaled everyone to quiet down, and then announced that the entire infantry camp would be divided into three parts: the front army, the middle army, and the rear army, and they rushed to Feng Kingdom one after another. Border garrison.
The front army and the grain and grass troops will go first tomorrow, the middle army will leave in three days, and the rear army will leave in another three days. Rushing to the border to garrison is one of the purposes, and training soldiers there is the main purpose. The shield soldiers of Yi State have already let Lan Xu Realizing the benefits of having multiple arms, as long as measures are adapted to local conditions, any arm can exert great combat effectiveness.
According to Lan Wu's instructions before leaving, Lan Xu prepared to create a shield soldier. Before the battle with the Yi Army, the Right Prime Minister of the Star Kingdom had successively issued recruitment notices throughout the Feng Kingdom. All men aged sixteen years old were eligible. You can join the army, and the Star Kingdom will treat them equally. Any civilian who joins the army can enjoy the same treatment as the original Star Army.
Over the past ten days, 30,000 people have applied one after another. Now the recruits from all over the country are rushing to Wufeng City. When the time comes, they will rush to the Beast Ridge Pass on the southern border of Feng Kingdom together with the rear army of the Star Army.
Although the number of 30,000 recruits is not large, it is a good start for the Star Army. The last battle with the Wing Army resulted in a total loss of about 50,000 troops. The current 30,000 recruits can just fill the vacancy, and the recruitment is still going on. Continuing, judging from the current situation, the Star Army can still recruit more personnel from all over the Feng Kingdom. When the time comes, all of them will be sent to Beast Ridge Pass for training. Maybe the Star Army will have more and more troops in the Feng Kingdom. .
After the general explained the reason and purpose of garrisoning the beastling pass above, he also mentioned something about the Yi Army. After the First World War in Wufeng City, the Yi Army, which lost a large number of people, was cut off by them in order to defend themselves. In the end, The entire army was wiped out and had already withdrawn from the territory of Feng Kingdom. It came and left quickly. A few days later, the remaining Yi army had retreated outside the border of Feng Kingdom.
The Yi Army lost nearly 200,000 troops at one time. According to Lan Xu and other generals, the Yi State will not send troops to them again in the short term. Of course, they still have to guard against it. After all, there is more than one Yi State next to the Feng State. .
After the general made all the military arrangements clear, it was officially decided to send out troops tomorrow, and then the entire army dispersed to rest and have nothing to do. Lu Yunyou wanted to go back to his residence to practice swordsmanship, but when he was about to leave, Zhang Jiutian followed him.
"Brother Zhang, why are you following me?" I didn't know what the other party meant by following him. After walking a few steps, Lu Yunyou turned around and asked.
"General Lu is newly appointed. He must be confused about the situation in the army. How about asking Zhang to accompany General Lu to the army to see what happens?" Faced with Lu Yunyou's question, Zhang Jiutian replied lukewarmly.
"Okay, let's go take a look together," Lu Yunyou nodded and accepted Zhang Jiutian's invitation.
In fact, he had heard from Fang Qing two days ago that after the last war, the army was reorganized. Before, the strength of each army was calculated based on 10,000 people, but now it is based on 3,036 people per unit. .
Each unit has one general, two lieutenants, three captains of thousands, thirty captains of centurions, three hundred captains, and 2,700 ordinary soldiers.
Thinking about how he would have to take care of so many people below him in the future, Lu Yunyou felt more and more that he should get to know the situation in the army, at least the situation of the personnel in his headquarters.
Not long after, following Zhang Jiutian, the two came to a place. In front of them, three thousand soldiers were lined up in a square formation, waiting for three people to disperse them.
"How many people are there in the headquarters?" The number of people in the square team seemed to be quite large, and Lu Yunyou, who didn't know the specific situation yet, was a little curious.
"Counting the general, you and me, there are a total of 3,036 people, no more, no less." Seeing that Lu Yunyou didn't even understand the organization of the army, Zhang Jiutian shouted directly to the front square formation: "All the thousands of men The chiefs, centurions, and chiefs came out."
"Yes," the next moment, uniform responses came from all over the square, and then some people walked out of the queue. Based on their different clothes, Lu Yunyou could completely identify the identities of those people.
"Meet the three generals." When Lu Yunyou was thinking that those people would obey their orders from now on, those people all knelt down on one knee to the three of them.
"Get up," Yu Tong waved his hands, showing a rather majestic look.
At the same time, facing so many people kneeling down and worshiping, Lu Yunyou had an unprecedented feeling. Looking at those people, there were all sixth-level martial arts cultivators and fifth-level martial arts cultivators. They all held their heads high and their chests high, with extraordinary momentum. He suddenly felt a sense of status. The feeling of being on top.
It's just that the eyes of those people were a little special. Their eyes were focused on Tong and Zhang Jiutian, and they didn't seem to be looking at him. After confirming this discovery, the feeling of being in a superior position disappeared in his heart instantly, and instead he had an ominous feeling. premonition.
Then following Yu Tong, Lu Yunyou walked directly in front of the junior officers, passed between those people, and then walked to the front of the queue of ordinary soldiers, observing them one by one.
Like the lower-level officers, the ordinary Star Army officers also held their heads high and had high morale, but many of them still didn't look at him at all.
At first he thought it was because the morale of the soldiers was very high, but after careful observation, Lu Yunyou gradually realized that something was wrong. At the same time, he also heard some whispers, and those contemptuous words directly confirmed his guess. Apparently there were people in the army. Many people are dissatisfied with him, and the reason is naturally related to his strength.
