In the blink of an eye, ten months passed, and the summer heat arrived.
The original Sea Sand Gang encampment by Skinny West Lake was now the encampment of the Young Marshal Army.
All the spies within a hundred miles had been eliminated by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Even a fly flying by could be heard clearly.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were still expanding in Jiangdu. With the help of the Sea Sand Gang and the Bamboo Flower Gang's underground forces, they quickly established the Jiangdu Thousand Households and the Hailing County Hundred Households, Ninghai County Hundred Households, Gaoyou County Hundred Households, Jiangyang County Hundred Households, and Wujiang County Hundred Households under their jurisdiction. Their intelligence network covered the entire Jiangdu Prefecture, and the latest news was constantly transmitted to Kou Zhong's ears.
"Haha!"
Kuo Zhong, who had just finished listening to Fu Junhao's report on Yuwen Huaji's resignation, chuckled. A mocking look appeared on his face."Even if a poisonous snake hides its fangs, it is still a poisonous snake. A bite is enough to kill a person.”
"Yuwen Huaji's actions are not only to numb Yang Guang, but also to numb the outside world.”
"Believe it or not, Yuwen Huaji's internal injuries have long recovered.”
"This…"
Fu Junhao, the commander of the Brocade Guard, looked horrified.
If that was really the case, then Yuwen Huaji's schemes were too deep.
"Don't worry about them for now. Keep an eye on Ren Shaoming.”
"In addition, the Embroidered Uniform Guards must quickly send spies to infiltrate Li Zitong, Fugong You, Du Fuwei, Shen Fa Xing, and Liu Yuan Jin.”
"I want to know their every move.”
Sitting on the armchair, Kuo Zhong tapped his index finger on the table and said indifferently.
The Jianghuai region was as rich as Jiangnan and densely populated. It was not inferior to the Central Plains, Hebei, and Guanzhong. It had to be taken.
Currently, the north of Huai River was in chaos, while the south of Huai River only had Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou. It was a good time to fish in troubled waters. When the Marshal's army had a firm foothold in Jingchu, he would naturally intervene in the south of Huai River. He would use the Yangtze River and Huai River as a springboard to fight for the Central Plains.
As for Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, and Liu Yuanjin, the former was spying on Jiang Du, while the latter two were entrenched in Piling County and Wu County respectively.
If the Twin Dragons Gang wanted to control River East, Shen Faxing and Liu Yuanjin had to be eliminated. Li Zitong could let him run around for a few more days and cause some trouble for Yuwen Huaji at the same time.
"Yes."
Fu Junhao's beautiful eyes swept over Kuo Zhong, her eyes full of admiration. She then walked out of the main hall.
It had only been a few days, but Kuo Zhong had grown up again and was more meticulous in his actions.
Using the world as a chessboard, the Marshal's Army, the Double Dragons Gang, and the Royal Guards as chess pieces to compete with the heroes. Who could compare to such boldness!
Watching her leave, Kuo Zhong's eyes also had a hint of something else. He had to admit that Fu Junhao, a cold and aloof lady, was indeed the most in line with his aesthetic standards. Her taste was definitely not something that a little girl like Yun Yuzhen could compare to.
If it weren't for the fact that he had no subordinates to use, he really didn't want Fu Junhao to be tainted by a spy organization like the Brocade Guard.
This was because the future Jinyiwei would definitely become a notorious existence under Kuo Zhong, just like the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei, which would make people's faces change and tremble when they heard its name.
"Young Marshal, Young Master Ling is here."
Yun Yuzhen reported softly into Kuo Zhong's ear.
"Yes."
"You go down first."
Waving his hand, Kuo Zhong said indifferently.
"Yes."
Yun Yuzhen tactfully turned around and left. At the same time, she asked the surrounding maidservants to leave.
With Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling's grandmaster cultivation base, their five senses were extremely sensitive. They could not escape hearing any movement within a radius of several hundred meters, let alone within the encampment.
Therefore, there were no patrol posts.
"Ta Ta…"
At this moment, a series of dull footsteps came from outside, getting closer and closer.
Xu Zhiling was dressed in a sky-blue robe with white cloud patterns embroidered on the collar and sleeves. He had a silver crown on his head and a sword on his waist. He looked like an elegant young master as he walked into the hall.
In the past few days, he had been training the five thousand troops of the marshal, and he had inevitably been contaminated with some of the baleful aura of the army. He had become a bit more brave and valiant. After putting on the armor, he became a valiant general.
Looking at Kuo Zhong, he was dressed in a black suit with golden edges and wore a purple gold crown. He sat in the hall with a bold and decisive posture, making him look even more like a tyrant.
If someone familiar was in front of them, they would definitely not be able to recognize that the two of them were the down-and-out hooligans on the streets of Yangzhou in the past.
"Young Master Ling."
"If you aren't training at the Martial Arts Practice Field, why do you have the time to come here to drink tea?”
Upon seeing Xu Zhiling, Kuo Zhong's originally dignified face could not help but reveal a smile as he spoke warmly.
"Young Master Zhong."
"You're still talking? We agreed to be good brothers and be loyal.”
"You're good. You leave the training of the major's army to me, and you have beauties serving you tea every day.”
Xu Zhiling could not help but complain.
For the entire month, he had trained the five-thousand-strong army single-handedly, and Kuo Zhong had only inspected them occasionally.
Of course, even so, the young marshal's admiration for Kuo Zhong did not diminish in the slightest.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this.
"I'm not slacking off," said Kuo Zhong with a smile.”
"That day, I don't know who was the one who said that after learning military books and strategies, he should apply what he learned and dig deeper into the mysteries of military formations.”
"A mere five thousand people have already exhausted you to this extent, and you still say that you want to lead thousands of troops in the future.!”
"Sure, how can a man say no.”
Xu Zhiling patted his chest and promised,"Oh right, I still have to report to you the progress of the major's army.”
"According to your request, we have almost selected 3,000 light soldiers with Yanling sabers, 100 heavy armored Mo sabers, and 2,000 archers.”
"I have already confirmed with Chief Steward Bu about the weapons. The light soldiers will each have a leather armor, and the 2,000 archers will each have a horizontal saber. Other than the 100 people who will be equipped with God's Arm Crossbows, the rest will be equipped with horn bows.”
"Because all five thousand people have practiced the Vigor of the Reckless Bull, they have basically reached the level of a third-rate expert.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
There was not a trace of surprise on Kuo Zhong's face.
A total of twenty tubes of Green God Nutrient Fluid. Even if they were diluted and distributed to five thousand people, one bowl per person, the nutrients would be enough to sustain them for a long time.
Moreover, the Vigor of the Reckless Bull was not a profound martial art and was easy to master. As long as one worked hard and kept up with the nutrients, they would be able to continuously break through.
It would be surprising if the 5,000-strong army couldn't even break through to the third rate.
"Young Master Zhong."
"Can we imitate the Great Sui's military system and establish a military system?”
Looking at Kuo Zhong, Xu Zhiling asked again.
"No."
Shaking his head slightly, Kuo Zhong replied with a deep gaze,""The Great Sui military system inherited the military system established by Yuwen Tai, a powerful minister of the Western Wei Dynasty.”
"The foundation of the prefecture military system is the equal land system, and we don't have any land in our hands to promise to divide the land.”
"If the Young Marshal's Army wants to become a strong army in the world, they must not blindly imitate the Sui Army.”
"I intend to use a new system, with ten people as one tenth, and a tenth as the leader. Fifty people in a village, set up a village leader, five villages in a circle, set up a military garrison; One thousand men into a department, set up a lieutenant; Five departments into a battalion, set up a Zhonglang General; The five battalions formed an army with a general, and the two armies formed a guard with a general. 100,000 men as the Great General."
Swoosh!
Hearing this, Xu Zhiling suddenly raised his head, and his eyes revealed a bright light.
From the military system proposed by Kuo Zhong, he could see the shadow of the Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, and Great Sui Dynasty.
Compared to the military system of the three dynasties, this military system was more like it was created for battle. It was more rigorous and more conducive to displaying the greatest combat power.
