The King of Chu and Yu Yanyi stood in front of the sand table, frowning. Most of the problems had been solved, but they were helpless in the face of the biggest remaining problem—there was a serious shortage of troops at the moment.

Originally, today's world is different from the former emperor. The former emperor expanded the territory, and today's world is recuperating.

During the reign of the first emperor, although he tried his best to reduce taxes, the corvee was unavoidable, which made people's livelihood exhausted.

In order to reduce the burden on the people of the world and ease the financial pressure, Jinshang took the initiative to abandon the worthless land near the border, reducing the pressure on the defense of the border, and reorganized the troops from all walks of life, and reorganized the original Twelve Guards of the Emperor and other troops. It became the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven.

Abolish the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, distribute subsidies and farm tools, and help them reclaim land so that they can have a meal.

This move has greatly eased Dazhou's military expenditures, allowing the finances to be more inclined to the construction of water conservancy, repairing roads, and improving people's livelihood.

From this point of view, Emperor Zhou did have a heart to love the people.

Regardless of others, just abandoning part of the land outside the customs is enough to make him bear the crime of "the merit lies in the present, and the crime lies in the future".

Since Emperor Zhou came to power, the people's living standards have indeed been greatly improved, but there is a sense of peace.

Although the strength of the frontier troops was reduced, since the six armies were reorganized, they were all selected from the original army. Although the strength was slightly insufficient when they took the initiative to attack, it was enough to defend the pass.

But in the battle of Youzhou, the essence of the Longwu Army and Yulin Army were all buried in the Tumu Fort.

In the northern border of the imperial court, apart from the Tiance Army, which was held back by the big cavalry, there were no more unarmed soldiers.

As a last resort, Yu Yanyi transferred the Beiman Army and the Beicao Army from Jingchu and Chuzhou.

Although Yu Yanyi has 18 horses in his hands, 10 of them are reserve troops, and their combat power is quite average...

Of the remaining 8 people, 6 are remnants gathered after retreating from the civil fort. Their morale is low. At this moment, their fear of war is high, and they no longer have the same combat power as before.

Among the 18 troops, only the [-] elite soldiers of the Shenwu Army can really fight Hou Jin in the field.

However, the northern defense line of Bingzhou is the most important at this moment. This is an important logistics channel for the Tiance Army, and 8 people have been deployed in the three northern counties of Bingzhou in Yanyi.

Thirty-five thousand people were deployed in the two southern counties.

There are less than [-] troops that can really be used for the Jinyang defense line, and [-] troops need to be allocated as a mobile force to support the north and the south.

The number of troops available to Jinyang's nine sects is less than 1 per sect.

As for the most capable Shenwu army, Yu Yanyi only left 8000 soldiers, and the remaining [-] elite soldiers of the Shenwu army were arranged in the three counties in the north of Bingzhou to prevent Houjin from attacking the Tiance army from behind.

Yu Yanyi can find a way to solve other things, such as the problem of food and grass.

Although Jinyang Mansion is the government office of Bingzhou, there are not many grains and grass in the city, but there is one of the five major grains and grasses in Gyeonggi near Tongguan.

The situation was critical, and the imperial court did not have time to recruit corvee workers to carry grain and grass.

Yu Yanyi ordered the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to collect all the vehicles in the city and gather them next to the granary, so that all the soldiers and horses who came to support through Tongguan turned into grain transport troops, solving the problem of insufficient grain in one fell swoop.

But Yu Yanyi really can't help this soldier.

After all, it is impossible for him to conjure tens of thousands of living people!

Just when Yanyi and King Chu were at a loss, someone from outside the commander's residence came to report.

"Marshal! There is someone outside the door holding this object and a letter to ask to see Marshal!"

Yu Yanyi took the tokens and letters from the guards, which Yu Yanyi was very familiar with. It was the jade pendant with dragon pattern bestowed to Yang Qingyuan by Emperor Zhou.

The suet jade, which is warm and moist, would destroy its beauty after being covered with variegated colors. It is reasonable to say that it is not qualified to be a royal thing, but this jade is different.

Among them, the yellow variegated color is not as dim as the variegated color of ordinary mutton fat jade, but it is bright and lively, and its shape is like a five-clawed golden dragon, which is exquisite.That's why it's called dragon pattern jade pendant.

This kind of rare jade is not easy to fake.

When he opened the large envelope and saw the letter, Yu Yanyi was sure that it should be Yang Qingyuan. The pen used for the handwriting on the paper was the "pencil" made by Yang Qingyuan.

After quickly reading the letter, a smile appeared on Yu Yanyi's face.

"Your Highness, soldiers are coming!"

The King of Chu took the letter from Yu Yanyi.

This is exactly the letter that Yang Qingyuan asked Guo Jing and his wife to bring to Yu Yanyi. Following Yang Qingyuan's suggestion, Guo Jing and his wife sent all the disciples of the Beggars' Clan in the three northern states and the martial artists below the Yuanhua Realm that they had summoned by themselves and Hong Qigong's influence. Brought it.

"I'll go to meet him in person!" Yu Yanyi got up and was about to go outside the mansion.

At this moment, Guo Jing is not just a master of Dongxuan Realm, he can serve as a banner for martial arts people all over the world to help the imperial court against foreign captives.

"My lord, I will go with you!"

The king of Chu also got up, and followed Yu Yanyi to the outside of the mansion.

"But Guo Daxia face to face!"

Before reaching Guo Jing, Yu Yanyi opened his mouth and said.

It's not that Yu Yanyi is putting on airs, but that he really appreciates Guo Jing's personality.

Although Guo Jing's reputation in Jianghu is not so famous, but in the Hall of Martial Heroes, there are Guo Jing's dossiers, which are even more detailed than those of Six Doors and East and West Factory.

In addition to being a master at the Profound Realm, Guo Jing served as Marshal of Zhengxi under the command of Emperor Qian 20 years ago, and Emperor Qian wanted to marry his youngest sister to him.

What Yu Yanyi admired the most was that Guo Jing refused.

A 20-year-old boy, in the face of a high-ranking official with a generous salary and a beauty title, sacrifices small profits for righteousness.

No, this can't even be considered a small profit. Emperor Qian and Guo Jing are sworn sworn brothers. With Emperor Qian's trust in him, there is a great possibility of being crowned king in the future. If this is a small profit, there is nothing in the world Great profit to speak of. https://

Yu Yanyi didn't know if he could do it himself, but Guo Jing was definitely a figure worthy of the court's trust.

"You are Yu Dashi!"

Yu Yanyi appreciates Guo Jing, but Guo Jing admires Yanyi very much!

The young man was admitted to the imperial examination, and he was the governor of Yuzhou and Bingzhou, rectified the administration of officials, and raised some punishments and prisons.As an official, he has a breeze in his sleeves and is loyal and upright.

After the Tumu Fort change, he stood up as a civil servant and tried his best to establish a line of defense on the front line of Jinyang.

This is simply the model for famous ministers in Guo Jing's heart.

"My servant, Guo Jing, came to Jinyang on the recommendation of Lord Yang Hou, and is willing to do his best to fight against the establishment of slavery."

"It's just in time!"

Then Yu Yanyi introduced Guo Jing, "This is His Highness the King of Chu."

"See Your Highness!"

Although the two of them didn't know the situation in the court, the only ones who could be crowned king in the Great Zhou Dynasty were relatives of the emperor, except for those who founded the country.

Moreover, the king of Chu is a one-word king, and judging by his age, he is probably the prince of Emperor Zhou.

Guo Jing was stunned for a moment, then realized that he hadn't introduced Huang Rong, and immediately continued to add, "This is Huang Rong, Clumsy Jing."

"My king also likes to practice martial arts. I have heard about the great names of Xian and his wife for a long time. Only when I meet you today do you know that there are no worthy men under the great name."

Then Guo Jing followed Yu Yanyi into the commander's mansion.

After the two parties were seated, Yu Yanyi asked, "Hero Guo, Qing Yuan mentioned in the letter that the Xian couple not only came to help the war, but also brought a group of righteous men from the rivers and lakes. How many people are there?"

Frontal field battles, in fact, ordinary people in the rivers and lakes can't play a big role. Facing the army formation, even those in the Dongxuan realm have to stay away.

If there is a famous general like Li Cheng'en, commanding the whole army and gathering the strength of the army, he has to weigh himself according to the law, the sky, the situation, and the situation.

Facing a well-groomed army in a field battle, the stragglers of the rivers and lakes are just giving military merit.

Fortunately, the battle of Jinyang was a defensive battle. When defending the city, the role of people from the rivers and lakes was great.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, there are [-] disciples of the Beggar Clan who came to aid Jinyang this time, all of them have martial arts skills, and many of them have learned the way of formation. More than [-] people! Let the adults order them!"

Hearing this number, Yu Yanyi was not calm anymore.

Nearly 8000 people, this is a careless force.

More than 600 people from the rivers and lakes can play a huge role in the defensive battle.

And the more than [-] disciples of the Beggar Clan who have learned the formation method are even more powerful. With a little training, they are capable of fighting in the wild.

"Master Guo, you are really timely! These 8000 people have greatly eased the dilemma of our lack of troops! Where are these righteous men now?"

"Because Jinyang's entrance is strictly controlled now, they are waiting outside the city at this time."

Hearing this, Yu Yanyi immediately said, "Come here!"

A thousand households of Jinyiwei entered in response. "You immediately go to the gate of the city with my warrant to welcome the martyrs to enter the city. At this time, the small school yard in the north of the city is still empty, and the martyrs are temporarily settled here."

Yu Yanyi's arrangement is not only a courtesy to these righteous men and heroes, but also to prevent spies from getting involved.

Therefore, these people from the rivers and lakes were arranged separately in the north of the city.

Yu Yanyi believed in Guo Jing recommended by Yang Qingyuan, but it didn't mean that he would also trust this Jianghu person without thinking.

In the current war, everything must be cautious.

Today's Jinyang defense line is in danger, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything.

The king of Chu also said, "In addition, inform the Huotou army to kill pigs and sheep, and welcome these heroes. Of course, the soldiers of my Great Zhou are also the same. The king will pay the money!"

Yu Yanyi is shabby, but the king of Chu is very rich. Back then, the water transport was corrupt, so he was the king of Chu. To compete with the crown prince, he did not lack money.

This is a good opportunity to gather the morale of the army and gain favorability.

Jinyang City is the prefecture of Bingzhou. There is no shortage of meat, most of which are cattle and sheep, and the price is not expensive. There are not many opportunities to spend 5 taels to openly gain favorability. At the same time, you can make friends with masters in the world. People are also of great use when there are many descendants.

Once force is used in the capital, the weight of the masters of the rivers and lakes may be heavier than that of ordinary troops.

"Then Guo, on behalf of the brethren, thank you Sir and His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Yu Yanyi said sternly, "Master Guo's words are wrong. You righteous men of the rivers and lakes have shed their blood for the people of the country. How can we neglect it. Whether they want it or not, these heroes of the rivers and lakes will be distributed according to the standards of the soldiers every month." Money, the imperial court will not let any righteous man suffer! Of course, if there is anyone who is willing to join the army, we will welcome them!"

After discussing the resettlement of these Jianghu people, Yu Yanyi discussed Guo Jing's position with the king of Chu.

Back then, Guo Jing was under the command of Emperor Qian. He first broke through the establishment of slaves on the Eastern Front, and then was transferred to the Western Front to serve as the Generalissimo of the West Conquest.

Such a general's talent naturally needs to be utilized.

"Master Guo, I prefer you to command the troops at the north gate of Jinyang City! It will be the most stressful place besides the west gate."

Yu Yanyi is also short of manpower at the moment, especially the middle and high-level generals, who were almost destroyed in the battle of Tumubao. This situation combined with Guo Jing's previous record, Yu Yanyi decided to hand over the defense of the North Gate to Guo Jing.

As soon as Guo Jing heard that he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility when he first arrived, he stood up and cupped his fists and said, "Because of your lord's trust, Guo will definitely do his best, if the north gate is broken, Jiannu will step into the city with Guo's corpse!

This is Guo Jing's determination and boldness!A generation of giants, as it should be!

The imperial examination is being held in the capital of God.

Originally, the imperial examination should not be held this year, but this year is the [-]th birthday of Emperor Zhou. To congratulate Emperor Zhou, according to the practice of all dynasties, Enke should be held. Originally, the imperial court was preparing for it.

However, this kind of situation happened again, so the court was also a little entangled in whether to continue to hold Enke.

In the end, under the queen's final decision, Enke was opened again, so as not to be inferior in momentum, thinking that the imperial court was afraid of building slaves.

Secondly, it is also intended to use Enke's new atmosphere to cheer Emperor Zhou.

Therefore, Qian Muqian, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and Minister of Rites, was the chief examiner of this imperial examination, and he opened a course to select a scholar.

At this time, the gods are already full of officials.

The Yuelai Inn of Wudang Group in the south of Shendu City has become an inn exclusively for juzi.

At this moment, the Yuelai Inn is already full of students who are coming to Beijing to rush for the exam.

A young man in plain clothes is also an examiner of the imperial examination, named Ma Zhou. This is his first time to take the examination, and he is still not very used to such a scene.

He was born in Qianshou. Although his parents were just farmers, they were unexpectedly enlightened and tried their best to support him in his studies. Although he had won the exam, he was still not sociable and was extremely economical about money.

"What do you want, officer?!"

The waiter came to the table and asked.

"Well, give me a bowl of noodles...and an egg!"

okay!

This time when he entered Beijing, Ma Zhou only brought 50 taels of silver. Although the amount was quite a lot, he was still very frugal because of his poor background.

The waiter in the shop is also used to seeing all kinds of people, and doesn't know how to judge people by appearance, so after confirming, he went to pass on the name of the dish.

The shop waiter didn't say anything, but some people couldn't get used to watching it.

"Ma Zhou, let me tell you that you are a Juren after all, can you look a little like a Juren, a bowl of noodles for lunch is enough to deal with you, what is the difference between you and those untouchables?!"

Cui Haoyuan, who spoke from the Cui family of Qinghe, was born in a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, and many of them are officials.

"Brother Cui, a person like this who comes out of the town and only knows how to do exam questions, do you think he can do anything other than write essays? Does he understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the way of archery?! Although he passed the exam In the imperial examination, he was only from the head of Guizhou. No matter how hard we try, weeds can't become Zhilan!"

It was Lu Qiancheng of Fan Yang Lu's family who spoke.

"Ma Zhou, have you ever met the world-renowned literary scholar Qian? Have you ever listened to the lectures of the great contemporary Confucian Guo Qin?! Have you ever read the "Jieshi Preface", which is the only one in the world? You are as short-sighted as you, and you only know stereotyped articles. How can a frog at the bottom of a well compete with the bright moon?! Go home and farm earlier!"

Lu Qiancheng's words made the children of the aristocratic family at their table burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

In their ears, what Lu Qiancheng said was right.

"Brother Shen!"

"Ok!"

Shen Changqing was walking on the road, and when he met someone he knew, he would say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who.

Everyone's face has no superfluous expressions, as if they are very indifferent to everything.

In this regard.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Ministry of Suppression, it is an organization that maintains the stability of Daqin. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.

It can be said.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone had a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The town magic department is very big.

Those who can stay in the Town Demon Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two occupations, one is the guardian envoy and the other is the demon slayer.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts from the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then he was promoted step by step, and finally he was expected to become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest-ranked slayer.

Has the memory of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Town Demon Division.

It didn't take too long, Shen Changqing stopped in front of an attic.

Different from other places full of chills in the Demon Suppression Division, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, showing a different tranquility in the bloody Suppression Demon Division.

At this time, the door to the attic was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing just hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside.

Enter the attic.

Circumstances have changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood rushed towards his face, causing his brows to instinctively wrinkle, but then quickly stretched.

There is almost no way to clean the bloody smell on everyone in the Zhen Mosi.
