MTL - Be the King From the Time of Signing-Chapter 3 take command
Chapter 3 Command the expedition
"Sign in successfully."
"Congratulations on getting lentils."
Wake up early in the morning and the check-in system has been updated. Zhou Xiao checked in for the second time in his life.
"Lentils?" Zhou Xiao frowned slightly, not knowing what it was.
immediately looked at the properties:
Item name: lentils (alias: scatter beans into soldiers)
Item Rank: Godly
Item introduction: First-class lentils, sprinkle the lentils to summon a hundred heavenly soldiers to help. Lentils can be grown and upgraded, with no level cap. The higher the lentil level, the more heavenly soldiers can be summoned. The host needs to be nourished and nourished by the luck of the emperor before it can be upgraded.
"Is it so magical? There is no level cap, doesn't it mean that as long as the level is enough, you can summon as many heavenly soldiers as you want?" Zhou Xiao excitedly asked the system.
System: "The theory is like this, but the more luck you need in the future, it's not easy."
"What is the difference between a heavenly soldier and an ordinary soldier?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"Heavenly Soldiers are profoundly cultivated, with one stopper. They are illusory beings, without pain, they are killing machines on the battlefield!"
"Sounds a bit strong!" Zhou Xiao's mouth twitched, not to mention that he can only summon a hundred heavenly soldiers now.
Just these 100 heavenly soldiers can overwhelm an army of 10,000 people.
Absolute baby.
But Zhou Xiao still has a doubt, "How to get the luck of the emperor?"
"You can get a certain amount of luck by practicing the Book of Heaven." The system replied.
"Is there no other way to get it?" Zhou Xiao felt that practicing alone was too slow and too little.
"The host will expand the territory and prosper for a long time, and will naturally get the luck of the emperor. In addition, the system will also give it randomly."
"Okay, the standard upgrade route to fight monsters." Zhou Xiao's consciousness was withdrawn from the system.
At this time, a palace maid served him to wash and change clothes.
Um,
The maids serving him are all pretty good looking.
He suddenly thought that as an emperor, he didn't seem to have the standard three thousand in the harem.
Don’t say three thousand,
There is none now.
Hey,
shame.
I was thinking about the **** who had already presented breakfast, and it was early morning after simply eating.
Because Qin Qiang was executed by the nine clans, the atmosphere in the court hall today was a little dignified.
After seeing Zhou Xiao's thunderous tactics, all the officials were more cautious and cautious.
Zhao Zilong's performance of the Great Zhou army has been assembled and is on standby outside the palace.
What makes Zhou Xiao feel a little nervous is,
All the troops in the entire Great Zhou are less than 100,000.
No wonder even Liuyun Kingdom dared to step on Da Zhou.
Yesterday Zhou Xiao said that he would fight against Floating Cloud Country at all costs, and all the ministers were still a little worried, "Your Majesty, Da Zhou is currently under-strength and the treasury is depleted. The current situation does not allow a battle with Floating Cloud Country at all, please consider carefully the emperor. ."
Zhou Xiao was a little surprised.
Yesterday he had expressed his attitude very clearly.
He didn't expect that someone would make him think carefully today.
Zhou Xiao looked at the speaking official.
This person is a straight and honest servant of the Ministry of Housing.
The minister of households, Qian Chong, listened to Gengzhi's speech, and even winked at Gengzhi, but Gengzhi ignored him at all.
All this fell into Zhou Xiao's eyes, and he asked honestly: "The treasury is empty? Come and listen."
"Go back to the emperor," said honestly and respectfully, "In recent years, the imperial court has become corrupt, and officials in various ministries have become corrupt, and the country's power has gradually declined. Now the national treasury is less than 100,000 taels of silver, and this military expedition will inevitably run out..."
"So little?" This is what Zhou Xiao didn't expect.
He had just regained the throne, so he didn’t know much about Da Zhou’s situation.
He knew the big week was bad.
But I didn't expect it to be this bad.
What a mess.
"It's absolutely true." He said honestly, "So I ask the emperor to think twice."
Zhou Xiao looked upright and straight, "I admire your daring to tell the truth. But it is imperative to go to the army. Yesterday, a lot of money was found in Qin Qiang's family and relatives, which is just for going to the army."
"As for the corruption trend that Aiqing reacted to, I have my own decision." Zhou Xiao looked at the court, "Everything is waiting for my triumph, and I will investigate it one by one."
"If you love yourselves, if you report yourself, I will reduce the punishment as appropriate. Knowing your mistakes can improve a lot."
While speaking, Zhou Xiao got up, and the dragon was mighty.
"If I find out, I will be severely punished according to law. Retire from the dynasty."
Zhou smiled and turned away.
Eunuch Wei Zhong followed closely.
And under the court in the Shanhe Hall, the officials fell into a long silence.
Many people with a guilty conscience were trembling and hated honesty to the core.
And Zhou Xiao's last few words were meaningful and intentional, causing all the ministers to panic except for a few ministers.
They can predict that in the near future, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will be turbulent...
After retreating, Zhou Xiao put on battle armor, mounted a war horse, and personally accompanied Zhao Zilong to the Liuyun Kingdom.
An army of one hundred thousand,
The mighty headed towards the east.
"My lord, why did you send troops in advance?" Zhao Zilong asked.
Zhou smiled and said: "Using troops is expensive. The country of Liuyun thought that my Dazhou would abandon Luyang County to seek a truce. When sending troops at this time, it must be unprepared."
Strategy?
Zhou Xiao actually really doesn’t understand.
He just wanted to quell the turmoil in the east as soon as possible.
Luyang County was not far from the imperial city. After rushing all night, we arrived at Luyang County City at dawn the next day.
At this time, outside the city of Luyang County, the army of the Liuyun Kingdom was stationed not far away, eyeing the tigers, forming a confrontation with the defenders of Luyang County.
Rattlesnake.
Last night, there was a brief confrontation between the Luyang defenders and the Liuyun Kingdom army. In the end, the Luyang County defenders suffered a disastrous defeat and their morale suffered.
"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" Luyang County guard general Yang Hu said impatiently.
"Currently the treasury is empty, and the whole country has no material supplies. I'm afraid we have been abandoned..." Yang Long said, "Brother, let's run away earlier. Otherwise, when the time limit is up, we're afraid..."
"Nonsense!" Yang Hu angrily interrupted Yang Long, "We Da Zhou soldiers, we will live and die with Da Zhou! Even if we die in battle, we will not be soft-hearted!"
"Now is the time for me to shed blood for Da Zhou! How can we be timid?"
"But... Da Zhou is hopeless!" Yang Long was deeply desperate, "It has been more than ten days since the letter of support was sent, and there is still no reply. Brother, I know you are loyal to Da Zhou. But I am waiting here to fight desperately, how will the royal family treat me? Wait?"
The brothers quarreled.
Yang Hu is very clear that now the army of Luyang County is running out of food and grass. If Liuyun Kingdom launches another attack at night, they will eventually die in battle, and Luyang City will eventually fall...
The ambition of the wolf child of Liuyun Kingdom.
The two sides had already negotiated a truce, but Liuyun Kingdom did not keep the agreement and sent troops to harass them from time to time.
gave Yang Hu a headache.
During the quarrel,
Suddenly a soldier came to report in a hurry.
"Report!"
Yang Hu's nerves were instantly tense, "Liuyun Kingdom attacked the city again?"
"General!"
"Reinforcements are here!"
"The reinforcements are here!" The soldier said excitedly.
It was as if the sudden arrival of reinforcements finally gave them, the bottom-level soldiers, hope for life.
Yang Hu couldn't hold back his excitement, "That's great!"
"I knew that Da Zhou would not abandon me and wait!"
"Hurry up!" Yang Hu strode out, Yang Long and the soldiers followed closely...
