Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Ever since Zhang He regained half of Lu State, he also lost the motivation to expand.

The population is too small, the army is not enough, and the long border requires a large number of troops to be stationed.

As for his 2000 black water army, after several battles, there are only a few hundred veterans left, and the rest are recruits added later.

Such an army is naturally not as powerful as before.

Even the zombies in the territory have been consumed seven to eighty-eight, and now there are not many left.

With Zhang He's strength already stretched to the limit, the two sides of the boundary river between Lu State and Sui State are densely populated with monsters, crossing the river and migrating to Lu State.

The purpose of the demons occupying Sui and Lu is naturally for a better living environment here and to occupy more resources.

Compared with the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Sui and Lu countries belonged to the borderlands, but they were still much better than the exiled land in the Western Wilderness.

On the surface, the demon army looks very powerful, much stronger than Lu Guo.

In fact, the exiled land of the Western Wilderness is extremely wide. This time, in order to invade the two countries, all the elites of all ethnic groups have been sent out, and the tall ones are selected from the short ones to organize such an army.

However, Lu Kingdom and Sui Kingdom were just small countries on the outskirts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and their population base was not as large as that of Xihuang.

In addition, after the nobles of these two small countries enjoyed peace for 10,000 years, they all lay on a pile of resources to dawdle, and were tortured by demons before the war, and their vitality was already seriously injured.

This caused the two countries to appear so vulnerable in front of the demon army.

On both sides of the boundary river, along with these migrating monsters, there is also an army of 100,000, not as elite as the previous army of monsters, but it should be enough to maintain the stability of the territory and increase troops to attack the southern border of Lu country.

Zhang He got the news of the large-scale migration of demons at the first time. He knew that with his current power, it was already the limit to be able to hold the half of Lu country.

It will not be an easy task to deal with the continuous invasion of monsters in the future.

Zhang He could only recruit 100,000 militiamen from the rear again and send them to the front to participate in the battle.

Except for the militiamen, he really can't get a single soldier out.

After this period of continuous fighting, as long as the subordinates are capable of cultivation, including civil servants and caravans, they have all been recruited to the front line.

After a large number of militiamen were recruited, they were sent to the front line of the war before they had time to practice.

In such a large-scale war, in addition to the militia, a large number of civilians must be recruited to help transport supplies.

So much so that since the start of the war, there have been many fewer tenants farming.

Fortunately, Heishui County is very proficient in the application of zombie coolies, replacing a lot of manpower.

War is not just a purely military competition, but also related to the comprehensive strength of both sides in terms of productivity, economic base, population, and system.

Even in the world of cultivating immortals, it is the same reason.

Zhang He's Heishui County has a relatively weak foundation, and after several years of war consumption, it will drag itself down.

Zhang Hezheng mobilized all the remaining power,

While guarding the border and waiting for the army of monsters to attack, the flying cavalry army sent by the royal family of the Great Zhou had already entered the country from the north of Lu.

As the commander of the 2000 Flying Cavalry Army this time, Meng Sheng came to quell the monsters in Sui and Lv. He originally thought that he could finally show his ambition.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty sent another civil servant this time, and it was fine to send one more civil servant, but he even became his immediate boss.

Originally thought that he could show his talents, but the idea of ​​letting the birds fly was gone, and there was only aggrieved and helpless in his heart.

Meng Sheng glanced at Feng Zhen who was flying in the middle of the team, although the opponent was a civil servant, he did not dare to neglect at all.

Feng Zhen is a master in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and he can easily kill a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul like himself.

Lord Feng, according to the news, one hundred miles ahead is Lu Le City, and there are 10,000 monsters stationed in Lu Le City.

Feng Zhen sat on the back of a huge iron-winged bird, and cupped his hands to Meng Sheng who was in front of him.

General Meng, I don't understand the matter of commanding and fighting, so I don't want to get involved. General Meng can decide everything.

Feng Zhen's visit this time was not just to fight with demons, he didn't pay attention to mere demons.

Before he came, he had received His Majesty's instruction to take over Lu and Sui kingdoms and become direct territories of the royal family.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, the royal family possessed a lot of resources and territory.

But in the history of more than 10,000 years, due to various reasons, the treasurer has less and less resources in the hands of the royal family. On the contrary, some feudal princes have become richer and richer.

Now the princes of various families can annex each other, and some of the stronger ones have more and more resources.

But what is very depressing is that the eyes of the people all over the world are fixed on the royal family, and the royal family cannot do what the princes can do.

If the royal family also followed the example of the princes and annexed other princes at will, it would definitely cause everyone in the world to be in danger.

In the end, the royal family may become the public enemy of the princes of the world.

But the situation in Lu State and Sui State is different now.

In these two countries, the original rulers have been wiped out by demons, and the original aristocratic systems have all collapsed. Both countries have now fallen into the hands of demons.

Under such circumstances, the royal family sent troops to maintain the territorial security of the Great Zhou Dynasty and recover the lost land resources.

They did this to safeguard the overall interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty and to fulfill the responsibilities of a royal family, and no one can say anything.

Moreover, the location here is remote, unobtrusive, far away from the numerous eyes and ears in the Central Plains, which is just right for the royal family to quietly cultivate their power here.

This is His Majesty's trust in him. Now that the royal family is in decline, if he can manage the Sui and Lu countries well, Feng Zhen may become a famous minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future.

As for the details of commanding the army to fight, professional matters should be left to professional people.

He just needs to control the people who lead the troops.

Feng Zhen was still thinking while riding on the back of the Iron Wing Bird, Meng Sheng had already arranged the mission to attack Lu Le City.

The iron-winged bird is a large bird monster. It has been artificially raised for more than 10,000 years. It is huge in size, fierce in temperament, and durable. Many countries use the iron-winged bird to form flying cavalry.

The royal family of the Great Zhou had a total of 5,000 flying cavalry, which were the backbone of the royal family. This time, 2,000 cavalry were dispatched at a time in order to recover the Sui and Lu countries.

It can be seen from this that the royal family attaches great importance to this matter.

At a distance of one hundred miles, the flying cavalry arrived outside Lu Le City in only two quarters of an hour while maintaining their formation.

The monsters stationed in Lu Le City, facing this sudden flying cavalry army, immediately had a Golden Core demon flying into the air with more than a thousand demons, and the remaining demon army in the city was also gathering quickly.

But in the face of these more than a thousand monsters, only a centurion flew out from the flying cavalry army, driving the iron-winged birds, forming a sharp cone formation, and rushing towards the monsters.
