Chapter 729 Inspection

On the eve of the war, the news that Lingxi City was annexed by Shanhai City caused an uproar in the wilderness.

With the annexation of Lingxi City, the two major alliances in China seem to be walking on two completely different paths. [Shanhai League] is gradually merging into one through internal devouring.

[Yanhuangmeng] are blooming separately, the more they bloom, the more colorful they are.

The underground casinos in the Nine Kings Cities are all specially opened for the Meng Ding war. Previously, the odds of buying Shanhai City were 3 to 1, and [Yunnan City State] was 5 to 1.

As soon as the news came out, the major casinos tacitly adjusted the odds of winning Shanhai City to 1 to 2, and [Yunnan City State] to 1 to 6, and the gap was further widened.

Obviously, the players are becoming more and more pessimistic about [Yunnan City-state].

At this moment, [Yunnan City-State] made a big move. That afternoon, Dichen appeared in Qin Feng's Tengchong City, announcing the alliance between Tengchong City and Handan City in a high-profile manner.

"When necessary, Handan City will directly send troops to assist Tengchong City." At the alliance meeting, Di Chen uttered such a cruel sentence, as if he was responding to Ouyang Shuo's previous argument.

In this way, the people who eat melons are even more excited.

Players are wondering whether this battle will turn into a melee in the whole of China.

Watching the excitement is always a big deal.

When Ouyang Shuo got the news, he just smiled slightly.

[Yanhuang League] made several small moves one after another, how could Ouyang Shuo not guard against them in this big battle. It's good that Di Chen and the others don't make a fuss, if they really want to send troops to reinforce [Yunnan City-State], I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat.

*************

September 12th, Lingxi City.

As Lingxi City was merged into Shanhai City as a whole, brothers Cao Chun and Cao Hong went round and round, and finally fell under Ouyang Shuo's account, which made them dumbfounded.

After seeing the ceremony, the two were immediately sent to Shanhai City to study with Xia Houyuan and others.

There are five good generals under Cao Cao's tent. They are Zhang Liao, the former general, Le Jin, the right general, Yu Jin, the left general, Zhang He, the general who conquers the west chariots, and Xu Huang, the latter general.

In addition to the five good generals, Xiahou's and Cao's generals have higher status than them, including Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and Xiahoushang, collectively known as the Eight Tigers.

Among the eight tiger riders, Xiahou Dun is the most, followed by Cao Ren.

In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Ren unfortunately died in battle.

Brothers Cao Chun and Cao Hong successively served as the commanders of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the most elite troops under Cao Cao's command. They can be regarded as one of Cao Cao's most trusted generals.

Especially Cao Chun, who was the first commander of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Therefore, in the Cao Cao Group, the status of the Cao Chun brothers is much higher than that of Zhang Liao, a general with a foreign surname. However, among the generals in Lingxi City, Zhang Liao was the leader, which made the two brothers Cao Chun very embarrassed.

This training can be regarded as a relief for them.

With the addition of Cao Chun and the two brothers, the special training class of the Army Lecture Hall has expanded to fifteen people. The lineup is huge and luxurious, probably unprecedented.

After arranging the two brothers Cao Chun, Ouyang Shuo immediately led the Shenwu Guards and set off to the front line of the war to inspect the Lingxi City Field Army. Of course, it has now been reorganized into the Third Army of the Dragon King Army.

As for Lingxi City, except that Bai Hua was officially appointed by Ouyang Shuo as the sheriff of Kunming County, everything else remained the same. The structure of Lingxi City is the same as Shanhai City, and there is no need to change it.

At the same time, in order to stabilize people's hearts, Ouyang Shuo naturally would not adjust the positions of officials without authorization. If you really want to adjust, wait until after the war is over.

What needs to be done now is to report the roster of officials in Kunming County to the General Administration for relevant reporting.

In addition, the salary system of Kunming County should also be in line with Shanhai City, including the code system. Such meticulous work will naturally be handled by the four directors of the Southern Border Protectorate, so Ouyang Shuo doesn't need to worry about it.

What needs to be changed in the structure of Kunming County is the abolition of the Lingxi City Military Affairs Department, some officers will be merged into the Military Affairs Department, and some will be merged into the Nanyang Navy Command, which is still under construction.

Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo had instructed the General Finance Department to give two months extra salaries to thousands of officials in Kunming County in the name of the Southern Frontier Protectorate.

This small means of buying people's hearts is still very necessary.

For the people of Kunming County, it is still a little uncomfortable to change a master overnight.

As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

There are probably quite a few people in Kunming County who are dissatisfied with this merger, or who don't understand it. These need time to adjust, and also require a lot of meticulous and solid work from the Protectorate.

Wei Yang has already proposed to use the opportunity of promoting the "Code" in Kunming County to reshuffle the cards.

At the press conference, Bai Hua and Ouyang Shuo claimed that the merger between the two had been going on for a long time, it was absolutely not a lie. When Ouyang Shuo was still sailing, the officials of both sides had already conducted several rounds of negotiations.

The negotiation record alone is as high as one person.

It was because of the previous foreshadowing that Ouyang Shuo and Bai Hua were able to make a decision on the spot. Otherwise, how can such a big matter be decided by two people in a few words.

For how to integrate Kunming County into the Shanhai City system, the Southern Border Protectorate has a whole set of plans.

All that needs to be done now is to proceed step by step.

Bai Hua will personally sit in Lingxi City, and cooperate with the Southern Border Protectorate to complete the handover work.

…………

Three days later, Ouyang Shuo and his party arrived at the third army camp.

"The last general, Zhang Liao, pay homage to your majesty!"

In the big tent of the Chinese Army, Zhang Liao led the division commanders of the Third Army Regiment to greet Ouyang Shuo as a monarch and minister.

The not-so-warm military salutes by the generals made Ouyang Shuo realize that it is not a simple paper of appointment to make these generals return to their hearts.

Ouyang Shuo didn't mind either, and motioned Jia Xu to read out the letter of appointment for Zhang Liao and others.

Zhang Liao was formally appointed as the commander of the third regiment of the Longxiang Army, and at the same time he was appointed as the fourth-rank general Pingxi. The rest of the division heads also had their own titles, and all of them were titled fifth-rank generals.

In the tent, Ouyang Shuo personally put on Zhang Liao the Golden Dragon Badge representing the fourth-rank general. The exquisite golden dragon medal, spotless, represents the supreme honor of soldiers.

When the time came, Ouyang Shuo personally awarded the flag of the Third Army to Zhang Liao, and said solemnly, "General Zhang Liao, I hope you will lead the Third Army of the Longxiang Army to continue to fight on the battlefield, fight the enemy bravely, and spread the glory of the Golden Dragon Banner!"

Zhang Liao solemnly took over the military flag, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, "I will live up to your majesty's trust!"

The golden dragon badges of the five division heads were worn by Jia Xu.

All of a sudden, golden light shone inside the tent.

Wearing the same golden dragon medal, it made all the generals feel close to Shanhai City for the first time. This supreme sense of honor is completely incomparable with a letter of appointment and money.

"salute!"

Zhang Liao took the lead to salute the king again.

"Swipe!" With a single click, all the generals gave a standard military salute in unison. At this moment, the Third Legion initially returned, and finally recognized the existence of Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo nodded silently, finally paying off his thoughts.

"Generals, there is a secret order to be read out now." Ouyang Shuo sat back on the main seat, not getting angry.

"Follow Your Majesty's order!"

Zhang Liao sensed the unusualness in Junshang's expression, he felt awe-inspiring, and subconsciously listened intently.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became solemn.

Ouyang Shuo revealed the real purpose of this military operation.

When Zhang Liao heard this, his eyes widened instantly. This plan was completely different from what he had originally thought. In other words, are all their recent actions setting smoke bombs on the enemy? !

Absurd!

Thinking about it, it was extremely terrifying.

The General Administration of Military Affairs of Shanhai City is really a group of monsters, to come up with such a bold military plan. If it is really going to be carried out, the four major city-states will be played.

After Ouyang Shuo finished speaking, he glanced at the generals: "That's the whole plan, do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Now that you understand, let's implement it according to the plan from tomorrow! Remember, there is no military order, and you must not act without authorization. If there is anyone who does not follow the order, don't blame the lonely and ruthless hands." Ouyang Shuo solemnly instructed.

In an instant, an oppressive feeling like a sea of ​​blood filled the camp. Huge blood bubbles popped out of the sea of ​​blood, and thousands of corpses floated up and down in the sea.

Among the bones are not only human bones, but also giant beasts of the deep sea.

Countless unjust souls floated on the surface of the sea, including soldiers, generals, and innocent people. Without exception, they were all dead souls who died at the hands of Shanhai City, and they screamed incomparably shrill on the surface of the sea.

When Zhang Liao and others saw it, they were all shocked.

Even though they had experienced hundreds of battles, they still trembled unconsciously in front of such a sea of ​​blood.

How many people have to be killed to have such blood? !

In the game, not only about luck, but also about cause and effect.

As long as it killed the army of Shanhai City, no matter whether it was Ouyang Shuo himself or not, he would be counted as one. After several years of accumulation, the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood can be imagined.

It is foreseeable that this sea of ​​blood will continue to expand, almost without end.

This was the first time that Ouyang Shuo showed the coercion of the sea of ​​blood in front of them.

Only then did Zhang Liao and other generals realize that the emperor in front of them was not their former master Bai Hua, not a weak woman, but an iron-blooded commander who had waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the supreme emperor.

Amidst the awe, an inexplicable excitement flashed in the hearts of the generals.

They clearly felt the different changes after being merged into Shanhai City.

…………

The next day, the Third Army went into action.

Strangely, in the next few days, the army frequently dispatched, making a gesture of being ready to fight at any time, but they just didn't really attack.

In any case, the Third Army did not cross the border.

This baffled the [Yunnan City-state] allied forces who were waiting in battle. They were not going to attack until they knew the enemy's purpose.

The third legion said to the outside world that the emperor had just arrived and was going to inspect the third legion.

The same is true of the facts. In just three days, the Third Army conducted a grand military parade and a large-scale military exercise.

The problem is, it's always a bit inexplicable to conduct exercises at such a time.
