Chapter 1224 Before the Western Expedition

Zhang Jun stood with his hands lowered and listened to the words of Shen Gonghu: "Edict from the Emperor of Xia! Jun Tianhou has outstanding achievements and loyalty. He is canonized as Yunhou with a fiefdom of 50,000 miles. He can control 300 million private soldiers and herd tens of billions of slaves. this!"

Zhang Jun: "Thank you Emperor Xia for your grace!"

Shen Gonghu put away the edict and handed Zhang Jun the seal, national map, and appointment documents with a smile on his face. Zhang Jun ordered people to collect everything and invited Shen Gonghu into the hall. Shen Gonghu smiled and said: "Marquis Yun is very happy. The fiefdom on the national map is the richest in the south. Not only does it have a large number of spiritual crystal mines, but it also produces talisman gold. It is really a treasure land."

Zhang Jun knew in his heart that this must be the result of him using money. As expected, Ji Wenxian had some connections and bribed those members of the royal family who were responsible for canonization. Thinking of this, he said: "Shangguan has had a hard journey, please have a glass of wine before leaving."

But Shen Gonghu declined: "I have important matters to attend to, so I won't bother you."

Unable to win over him again and again, Zhang Jun gave the other party a Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations Pill, and parted with the other party's gratitude. As soon as Shen Gonghu left, Zhang Jun took the national map to check. Based on the scale in the picture, he calculated that his land was not only 50,000 miles away, but actually 70,000 miles away. The difference of 20,000 miles made his fiefdom nearly double in size!

On the national map, minerals, cities, etc. are also indicated. There are nine cities in the land, with a total population of 6.3 billion and 116.7 billion slaves. Just as he expected, this land was not far from Feixiang Country, with only the "Fire Country" in between. The Fire Country was not large in area and was headed by a Fang Hou.

"Daxia is indeed a vast land with few people. In such a large area, there are only more than 10 billion people." Zhang Jun thought to himself. Then he discovered that the origin of this fiefdom was recorded in the national certificate. This land was the territory of Daxia before the great changes in the world. It had experienced three Yunhou and more than a dozen Fanghou.

The spiritual mines and talisman gold in this area only appeared after the great changes in the world, so he got a big advantage.

Not long after Shen Gonghu left, another imperial edict came unexpectedly. Zhang Jun immediately understood why Shen Gonghu didn't want to stay for a long time, because the second one came with a criminal edict. Compared with Shen Gonghu, the imperial edict official who came was obviously arrogant. He was a fat middle-aged man with a white face and beardless face and narrow eyes.

"The Marquis of Juntian, Zhang Jun, bullied the young prince and harmed the weak daughter of the Jiang family. It is a heinous crime! I remember that you have made great achievements, so I will not kill you for the time being. I will order you to go to the battlefield on the Western Front. You will be punished for your crimes and meritorious service. I admire you here!" After saying this, the edict sneered. Then he handed the edict to Zhang Jun and said, "Marquis Juntian, what we are facing on the Western Front is Daxia, a powerful enemy. You must be careful."

"Snapped!"

Zhang Jun slapped the imperial edict and knocked him to the ground. His white teeth were all gone. He stared at him and said, "Who are you? You dare to be rude to me?"

"You..." The imperial edict was shocked and angry. He was about to curse, but suddenly his heart became cold and he screamed, holding his head in his arms. It turned out that Zhang Jun had a murderous intention in his heart, and he sensed it. He was so frightened that he did not dare to stay for a moment.

"I'm going to ask Ji Wenxian about this." After saying that, he walked over to Ji Wenxian's house, and then explained how Emperor Xia rewarded him first and then punished him.

Ji Wenxian sighed: "The Emperor of Xia first granted you the title of Marquis of Yun, so that you can have the qualifications to lead the army on expeditions. There is a common rule in Daxia that generals who can go on expeditions outside the territory must have the title of Marquis of Yun. Even if they did not hold the title of Marquis of Yun before, they will The reason for sealing the territory quickly before going out is because the generals are fighting abroad and the territory they occupy belongs to them. It is for this reason that the generals fight bravely to expand their territory. "

"I see." Zhang Jun nodded, "The Emperor Xia asked me to go to the Western Front, but he didn't give me any troops. What's the point?"

Ji Wenxian laughed after hearing this and said: "You control the territory you have conquered yourself. Why does Emperor Xia give you soldiers and horses? Not only you, but any prince who goes on an expedition to a foreign country brings his own private soldiers. If the royal army goes on an expedition, The territory acquired is owned by the royal family, do you still have a share?"

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "I forgot that this is a vassal court. It's just that I have no soldiers and money, so I can't fight this battle."

Ji Wenxian shrugged: "There's nothing we can do about it. But let me warn you, Daxia's Western Front faces the most formidable enemies. Even Da Sima has suffered losses and has never been able to take advantage of them."

Zhang Jun became interested and asked: "Which force are we fighting on the Western Front?"

"Demon Realm." Ji Wenxian shook his head, "There is a large swamp in the west of Daxia. There are many strange beasts in the swamp and countless treasures. In the center, there is a powerful demon clan. The demon clan warriors are physically strong, proficient in terrible magic, and can Driving chariots and warships to form terrifying battle formations, the Jiang family’s Tianman army had suffered a lot and was no match for them.”

Zhang Jun was surprised that the Demon Realm was indeed extremely powerful and possessed high-level warfare skills. He asked again: "Compared to the demon clan, how strong is my Daxia? Which one is stronger and which one is weaker?"

Ji Wenxian thought for a long time, then shook his head and said: "At present, it seems that it is only half a dozen, and it is difficult for anyone to gain an advantage."

Zhang Jun's heart became heavy. The strength of the various tribes in the lower realm should be far less powerful than that of the hundreds of tribes in the wilderness. A little-known demon clan can be on par with Daxia, but what about the royal family among the hundreds of clans, or even the royal family? Couldn't they easily crush Daxia? How can the human race contend with it?

Ji Wenxian saw Zhang Jun's expression suddenly became solemn, and thought he was worried about the risks of the Western Expedition, so he quickly comforted him: "Don't worry too much. The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity. It is easy to achieve military exploits on the Western Front." , To establish territory. In fact, many of our young talents in Daxia are practicing on the Western Front, which is the war zone with the most generals. "

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "Emperor Xia has ordered me to go, whether I want to or not. But I have one thing unclear. Who will control me after I arrive at the Western Front?"

"You have two choices." Ji Wenxian said, "Either join the most powerful army and earn merit together. Or do it yourself. As long as you have the ability, you can also make great achievements."

"That's the best." Zhang Jun smiled. He didn't want to be controlled by others on the Western Front, or even be forced to wear small shoes and be cannon fodder.

Ji Wenxian said, "Brother Zhang, you have to be careful on the way. If you have any difficulties, just contact me and I will do my best to help you. I also know a few friends in the army."

Zhang Jun was moved and said, "Thank you, Brother Ji. You can wait for my good news in the court. Old man Jiang wanted to use this method to calculate me. He made a wrong calculation. I will make him regret it!"

"Good! People of my generation should do this!" Ji Wenxian praised.

After bidding farewell to Ji Wenxian, Zhang Jun returned to the Central Federation and summoned Xiao Mo as soon as possible. Xiao Mo had already refined tens of millions of creatures in the Blood Soul World into puppets. Together with the previous Tianman Army puppets and Manbing puppets, the puppet army at hand was not small, enough for him to run rampant on the Western Front.

"Xiao Mo, where is your puppet world?" Zhang Jun asked curiously, wanting to see what the so-called puppet world looked like.

Xiao Mo smiled "hehe", shook his body, and a world portal appeared behind him. The aura released by this portal was extremely powerful, not weaker than the portals of the big worlds Zhang Jun had seen. For example, the fierce world and the blood soul world were no more than this.

He immediately rushed into the puppet world, only to see that it was densely packed with puppets, all of them standing still like zombies, and the atmosphere was very weird.

Zhang Jun looked around and came out, asking, "Don't these puppets need supplies?"

"Puppets are disposable, and they die when they die. I am only interested in training puppets at the level of the emperor or the Daluo level." The little demon said indifferently, "Master, I need more puppets now. I want to expand the puppet world and prove my truth with it."

Zhang Jun smiled and said, "It's just right. I'm going to the west to fight the demons, and you can be useful. But you are my secret means, you can't show it, I need my own team . ”

As he spoke, Zong Yuan took over and said, "Dad is the upper emperor, why not appoint personal guards? The appointed personal guards are all masters of the emperor level, and are a force that cannot be underestimated."

Zhang Jun had this idea, and he ordered, "Xiao Qiang, you select three million young people from the federal residents, tell them the purpose and danger of this trip, and those who voluntarily join can take the Heaven Silkworm Nine Transformation Pill."

Xiao Qiang said, "This is easy. How many light armors are you going to bring this time, boss?"

The federation suffered heavy losses in the last battle, and the Golden Guards, Juntian Warriors, Dragon Soul Knights, and light armors were almost extinct. Currently, there are only 800,000 Seven Killing Light Armors and a small number of Seventh Generation Light Armors left. Those Seventh Generation Light Armors are Zhang Jun's killer weapons, a total of 96, all of which are quasi-Daluo-level combat power. It's a pity that under the blow of the golden palm, they were almost shattered and completely lost their combat effectiveness, otherwise they would not sit idly by and watch the barbarians wreak havoc.

Fortunately, Xiaoqiang has already restored most of the Tianshu, and is gradually repairing the ninety-six light armors. Ninety-six seventh-generation light armors, plus eight hundred thousand seven-kill light armors, are definitely a powerful force, enough to help Zhang Jun achieve military merit.

"Have the mythical ancient cannons been repaired?" Zhang Jun asked.

"Three thousand six mythical ancient cannons, more than two thousand were blown up on the spot, and after repairs, only eight hundred are left." Xiaoqiang said.

Zhang Jun nodded, thought for a while and said: "I will take away two hundred ancient cannons, three hundred thousand seven-kill light armors, and thirty-six seventh-generation light armors. You stay with the rest. Tianshu must not be empty."

After the deployment, the three million young people selected from the Central Federation gathered in the square. After the last incident, the temperament of the entire federation has changed. Everyone has a stern murderous aura and a sword-like sharpness. A nation that has not experienced hardships will never grow, and the Central Federation is undoubtedly more cohesive and tougher.

Zhang Jun appeared in the sky above the square. He transformed into a thousand-meter giant and asked in a deep voice: "I am going to go out to fight, expand our living space, replenish our resources, and kill our enemies. Are you willing to fight with me? Are you willing to go through life and death with me? Are you willing to prove your loyalty with your life?"

"I am willing!"

The roar of the mountains shook the clouds in the sky and lasted for a long time.
