Nine Hundred and Sixtieth IX Human Slaughter

"Let's get down to business."

Feng Buwen sat upright, looked at me with a pair of eyes, and said: "The Minister of the Ministry of War has also followed me, how you plan to expand the Liuhuo Legion, you can talk about it in front of him."

As he spoke, he raised his head and said, "Come on, let Mr. Xu from the Ministry of War come in."

"Yes, Feng Xiang!"

The guard outside the commander's tent responded, and not long after, a middle-aged general stepped in, with a broad sword on his waist, and the streamer turned like an inscribed sword. He was full of murderous aura. , Presumably, he should also be a seasoned general before he served as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Master July Fire!"

The servant of the Ministry of War clasped his fists and sat down by himself at the table not far away. After receiving the pen and paper from his subordinates, he said, "Your Excellency, you can dictate how to expand the compilation, and I will record it here, and bring it back to the Ministry of War for entry into the first class." That's it for the Corps file."

"Thank you."

I nodded and said: "This time, the Liuhuo Legion has acquired 100,000 horses, so I plan to expand the Tianqi Battalion from 70,000 to 100,000, and add a 70,000-man cavalry and archery battalion." As for the rest of the battalions, the Iron Step Battalion still has 80,000 troops, the Shenbow Battalion has 30,000 troops, the Heavy Artillery Battalion and the Guards Battalion each have 10,000 troops, for a total of 300,000 troops."

The Minister of the Ministry of War recorded them one by one.

Feng Xiang frowned: "So, the Liuhuo Legion now has 170,000 attacking cavalry, second only to the Templar Knights, plus the Iron Step Battalion, the Divine Bow Battalion, etc. It is said to be the best in the empire, even the Flame God Legion may not be able to compare with you."

As he said that, he said meaningfully: "Aren't you afraid of Muxiu Yulin when you expand with such a big fanfare? You know, there are not just one or two people who are jealous of your Liuhuo Legion. Besides, you are just a frontier army. It is still a large corps stationed in the hinterland, you should carefully consider this move."

"Don't think about it."

I shook my head and said: "It's enough to keep a low profile these days. Now I want the Liuhuo Legion to become stronger and become the strongest first-class legion in the Xuanyuan Empire. Only in this way can I truly fight against the powerful Strange Demon Legion. Not only will your Majesty doubt my own self-respect, but I don't worry that I will make great achievements, because I am still from Longyu after all, my roots are in Longyu, and the Flowing Fire Legion is just me helping His Majesty to train A mighty legion of them."

"That's a very good word!"

Feng Buwen clapped his hands and smiled: "If you can think like this, I am relieved. I will tell His Majesty what I said in person with Mr. Xu, so you can rest assured that you can be your Marquis of Beiliang in Beiliang Province to your heart's content." Bar!"

I nodded and smiled: "There is one more thing...the Liuhuo Legion has added 100,000 cavalry, saddles, armor, and horse-shooting bows and crossbows for these cavalry. These need to be provided by the Ministry of War. I hope the Ministry of War will not neglect. Send the equipment as soon as possible, in addition to the recruitment of soldiers, the Liuhuo Legion will expand by 100,000, and these 100,000 recruits must be the elite recruiting staff, I hope Xiang Xiang can help me out."

"knew."

Feng Buwen smiled slightly: "Leave this matter to the truth, Master Xu will definitely do his best to help."

"Thank you very much!"

I also clasped my fist at the Minister of the Ministry of War not far away, and said: "Master Xu, thank you for your kindness!"

He was flattered, and hurriedly cupped his fists and smiled: "My lord, you are being polite. This is the duty of a subordinate official. You must do your best. Please rest assured, my lord!"

"Um!"

I looked up and said, "Master Feng, since the matter is settled, would you like me to send someone to take you to see the scenery of the Northern Kingdom in the Northern Liang Province? This used to be the territory of the Scarlet Royal Court, but there are many places of interest and historical sites to visit. have a look."

"Next time."

Feng Buwen lazily stretched his waist, and said: "It has been so long since I have been a marquis and a minister, it seems that it has been too long since I have visited the mountains and rivers, and seen all the famous places. When the situation is settled, I will definitely come to Beiliang Xingxing, when the time comes...I hope that you, Marquis of Beiliang, will show your respect as a landlord!"

"Must, must."

I laughed: "At that time, maybe even the frontiers and forests have been won, and the Beiliang Province will become the largest province in the empire. When the time comes, life will be better. I will definitely let Feng Xiang have a little time in the Beiliang Province." Meat to eat, accompanied by chicks every day."

Feng Buwen smiled: "Then... it's a deal!"

After saying that, he got up and left, Master Xu, the servant of the Ministry of War, also clasped his fists, and walked away with a group of attendants. Several flying boats started to toot, and left Yanmen County just like that.

...

Return to the handsome account.

Behind me, I pocketed the few rewards I had just completed. Since I became the commander of the first-class corps, I don’t have to do the petition myself. It’s so convenient to have the commander and commander under my command to do it. At this time, Zhang Lingyue stepped into the commander's tent and said: "My lord, originally... this subordinate just wanted to build a riding and archery camp with a quota of 10,000. Let's try the water first, but I didn't expect my lord to ask for 70,000 in one go A riding and archery battalion made up of people, this makes the subordinates very worried."

"What are you worried about?" I asked.

He said in a deep voice: "The training of cavalry archers is not easy. The first step is to make them become first-class marksmen, and the second step is to make them become skilled cavalrymen who can ride horses freely. To let them learn how to shoot arrows on war horses, the frequency and angle of bumps, and the timing of bowing, these are all a great science, so it is really not easy to train a 70,000 cavalry archery battalion!"

"knew."

I waved my hand and said: "How about this, in the original 30,000 Divine Bow Battalion, all those who can ride horses will enter the Cavalry and Archery Battalion, and in the Tianqi Battalion, those who are good at archery will also join the Cavalry and Archery Battalion. Let's talk about the 70,000 cavalry and archery battalion, and then select troops from the Iron Foot Battalion, Guards Battalion, and recruits to supplement the Tianqi Battalion and the Shenbow Battalion. I believe in your Qin Zhan and Zhang Lingyue's abilities, even if you are recruits, you will definitely be able to give it to them. I lead a victorious division with hundreds of victories, right?"

Zhang Lingyue and Qin Zhan immediately clasped their fists together: "Yes, my subordinate obeys!"

In fact, the biggest beneficiaries of this expansion of the legion should be Zhang Lingyue and Qin Zhan, a commander who had only commanded the 30,000 Divine Bow Battalion before, and transformed into a commander who controlled the 70,000 Cavalry Archery Battalion and the 30,000 Divine Bow Battalion , and one changed from the commander-in-chief of 70,000 heavy cavalry to the commander-in-chief of 100,000 heavy cavalry. With more troops under his command, his status and status would naturally increase.

On the contrary, the veteran Chai Lu still commands the 80,000 Tiebu Battalion, and the Tiebu Battalion is facing selection from the rest of the battalion.

Therefore, the veteran seemed to be out of spirits, sitting in his seat and drinking.

"Old General Chai Lu."

I got up and came to him, poured him a glass of wine myself, and said with a smile: "Don't be sullen, the adjustments I've made so far are only for the purpose of making the Fire Legion stronger, and in the future wars, it is really necessary. The size and speed of the heavy cavalry and the cavalry and archery battalion are used to contend against the powerful alien army. I know that the old general is upset. How about this? I, or call to cooperate with the Iron Step Battalion to fight, it's up to you."

Chai Lu was flattered, and hurriedly stood up and knelt down: "Master Commander said so...the veteran is really dead, it is the veteran who is confused, and almost forgot...At the beginning, Sir Commander promoted me, let me become the commander step by step, even Now he ranks among the generals of the empire, he is a veteran and narrow-minded... Please forgive me, my lord!"

"What is the crime of the old general?"

I helped him up with one hand, and said with a smile: "I support the competition among battalions within the Liuhuo Legion. The enemy is at the front, and we strive to be the first. If we don't have this tone, how can we defeat the invincible aliens?" The Demon Legion? Our Liuhuo Legion relies on the spirit of not falling behind, and this has made it to today, everyone agrees?"

"That's right!"

Qin Zhan laughed: "As a man, I should be like this!"

Zhang Lingyue also stepped forward, lightly patted veteran Chai Lu on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Old brother, don't be sullen. Both Qin Zhantong and I regard you as an elder brother. From now on, even if we lead hundreds of thousands of troops, Millions, so what? You are still our elder brother, and if we are here, there will be Tie Bu Ying, isn't it?"

This kid Zhang Lingyue can indeed speak.

Chai Lu showed a smile: "The commander is the same, and the two commanders are also the same. What else can the veteran say, this life, this life, will be handed over to the Liuhuo Legion!"

...

After solving a few small Jiujiu who controlled the interior, I also felt a little tired. I walked out of the handsome tent lazily, and went directly to the outer city wall of Yanmen Pass. Zuoxiongguan, I never thought that I would be replaced by me now, let alone that I would be granted the title of Marquis of Beiliang. Originally, in my subconscious mind, the word Beiliang had nothing to do with me, but now It seems that they are closely related again, like a brand.

"My lord, my lord!"

When he was full of emotions, someone called out in the pass, it was Zhang Lingyue, he was leading a few guards, and behind him was a group of people in official attire.

"What's going on, Zhang Lingyue?"

"My lord, the sheriff of Yanmen County, as well as all officials in the county, would like to ask to see your lord."

"oh?"

I looked from a distance, frowned, and said, "Take them to wait for me in the handsome tent."

"yes!"

Returning to the handsome tent again, when I opened the curtain and stepped in with Zhang Lingyue, Qin Zhan, and Chai Lu, a group of local officials were all prostrate on the ground, not daring to look up, which made me wonder, what did they think of me? Could it be that in the minds of these local officials, I am the warlord who kills like hemp and disregards human life?

Thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's their fault. From the beginning of the Northern Wilderness Campaign to the present, the number of enemies killed under my command has definitely exceeded one million. It is estimated that this group of local officials will not call me a "human slaughter" in private. "It's already luck.
