I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

It took a day and a night to bloodbath this caravan. After the extreme chaos, half of the people were left dead and running.

Zhuo Yao sat at the top of the corpse mountain and sea of ​​blood, possessing his power.

Zhuo Yao had experience as a bandit and had a natural aura as a general. He managed the remaining people to be obedient.

He used the same method of training an army to train horse thieves and established the initial level of the army. Even though there were only a hundred people, he actually trained them into several squads of cavalry.

In a few months, he swallowed up two large villages, and the number of people increased.

The smaller bandits around were also frightened and came to seek refuge one after another.

The larger the number of people, it is not enough to just rob. You have to find a right way to have enough funds to feed them.

As luck would have it, we were in troubled times, and the opportunity came quickly.

The small countries in the Western Regions had long disliked the Chen Kingdom and planned to take advantage of the chaos to rob them, so Xiliang and Xishu jointly sent troops to surround the two westernmost cities of the Chen Kingdom, Gongxi County and Jizhou Jianguan City.

Both cities have troops approaching, but Jizhou Jianguan City is guarded by elite soldiers, while Gongxi is like an abandoned baby that no one wants, with two to three thousand old, weak and disabled soldiers, maybe even less.

What's even more ridiculous is that Gongxi has suffered from droughts and floods for consecutive years, but taxes have never been reduced, making the people so miserable that they can no longer survive.

Zhuo Yao, who came from Chenjing, knew all the inside information. Nanchen and Beichen went crazy for the war. Not to mention the reduction of taxes, corvee and conscription, even a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old had to be arrested while walking. Conflict the army!

There was war on the border, and the court could not allocate troops or money to help.

This place is naturally suitable for rebellion!

So when the Gongxi defenders were struggling to hold on in the face of 30,000 troops approaching the city, Zhuo Yao led an army of horse thieves to rush out from the flank and killed the Xiliang and Xishu coalition forces by surprise!

No one knows where this army came from. It advances and retreats in a controlled manner, with a rainbow-like momentum, as if it were descending from the sky!

The general of the Gonxi city defense army was named Song Qian. He was transferred from a nearby city after hearing about the disturbance in the west. When he was transferred, he just wanted to scold his mother. He didn't have anyone or money to fight. How could he fight this bad war?

However, a mysterious man in a black cloak found him and asked him to take over the task. He actually knew this mysterious man and took over the task without saying a word.

On the day when he defeated the Xiliang and Xishu coalition forces, Zhuo Yao found Song Qian to negotiate. When he met Song Qian, he was stunned, "Isn't this the heir apparent of the Zhennan Palace? How could he... end up living here?"

Listening to the voice and breathing, Zhuo Yao felt that the other party was not an ordinary person, so he politely asked, "May I ask the general's name?"

"A true man will not change his surname even if he does not change his name, and Song Qian is the right one!"

Zhuo Yao suddenly realized that Song Qian was well-known in Chen State and had won many battles, but he could not be promoted to high officials and was often demoted instead.

Zhuo Yao didn't know the inside story, so he didn't get straight to the point, but probed, "I have long admired the name of General Song! Why was General Song sent here?"

"This is a lousy place! Who wants to come here? It's not Chaozhong..." Song Qian almost blurted out. He wanted to scold those old dogs in Chaozhong for being so indifferent and asking him to come to fight without giving him anything. Issue a military order and go to see him if he loses.

He saw his eighteen generations of ancestors!

Zhuo Yao heard the resentment in Song Qian's words. Based on his intuition, he believed that this person was incompatible with the Queen Mother's party. He said bluntly, "General Song has made many military achievements, but he is not welcomed in Nanchen. Why not... invite the general and Together with me, Zhuo Yao, we will participate in this grand event and achieve something great!"

When Song Qian heard this, he frowned and said, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, could have the Shanxi Southern Army in his hands. Why did he come to this place where birds don't shit? Why do you still want to participate in this grand event with me?"

Zhuo Yao thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "What's my father's is my father's after all. What kind of true hero is a hereditary man? Without my father, I, Zhuo Yao, wouldn't be much different!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually has such ambitions! I'm really impressed!"

"Isn't General Song also very ambitious? Why bother letting others do what you want and treat them like a horse or a bull?"

Song Qian was silent for a while after hearing this, "But as generals, don't we want to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic?"

Zhuo Yao chuckled, "Loyal to the king and patriotic? General Song, tell me, which king are you loyal to and which country do you love? Is it the puppet in the south who can be manipulated by others, or the majesty in the north who doesn't know whether to live or die?"

Speaking of this, Song Qian sighed deeply.

Yes, with development to this day, there is no such thing as Chen Kingdom!

Zhuo Yao advised again, "Times make heroes. Doesn't General Song want to achieve great things?"

Song Qian felt that her already cold heart was warmed by these words.

But he didn't respond clearly, he just excused himself and asked Zhuo Yao to come back another day.

Song Qian was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night, and the mysterious man came to see him again.

The mysterious man was wearing a thick cloak and was polite and polite. "General Song might as well agree to him."

"Without a country, a new situation is possible!"

Song Qian lay on the bed, resting his head on his arms, and uttered a sentence, "To put it lightly, I have nothing now and only have thousands of troops under my command. How can I subvert a troubled world?"

The mysterious man chuckled twice, "General Song miscalculated. You have a few thousand, Zhuo Yao has a few thousand, and the troops from the Western Regions have surrendered a few thousand, which can be tens of thousands. The surrounding small towns should be at least a few hundred defenders, and the larger the If you build a city, you can get thousands of troops. Many gentry and wealthy people also have private soldiers stationed in their homes. In less than a year, you can gather tens of thousands of troops!"

"Besides, Nanchen is going to war now. They don't have enough troops to deal with the west. Now is the best time!"

"Furthermore, who is Zhuoyao? He is from Zhennan Palace. His Jinnan Army is the most loyal and powerful force in the world today. Their loyalty is even better than that of the fierce soldiers in the north! Even if he does not plot a rebellion in the west, Then he is definitely the overlord of the party! If you cooperate with him, your chances of winning are extremely high!"

"If you can lead the west and dominate the world, it will be just around the corner! If you win, you will be the founding general! Even if you lose, you will only be left with one life. In this chaos, life is the most worthless!"

The more he talked, the more excited Song Qian became. He jumped out of bed, "Ha! Okay! Hahahahaha! The world has finally changed! I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

He bowed to the black cloak and said, "You said before that you could pay?"

The black cloak raised his lips slightly, "Yes! It's enough to support a small army of tens of thousands of people! When you have your own territory, the money will only become more and more! But there is only one thing you must listen to me, the officials in each city, They are all designated by me personally!”

Song Qian burst into laughter, "I'm not good at internal affairs either, so I'll just be a young master!"

Song Qian thought for a while, "No, I can only live under that young boy Zhuo Yao?"

The black cloak said calmly: "Of course, otherwise how could you command the Jinnan Army? If there is no way to integrate the two forces, it will be a waste of effort, and it will be annexed by Nanbeichen sooner or later."

Song Qian also understood this. Zhuo Yao had innate advantages that he did not have, and he also had momentum that he could not catch up with, so he had to give up.

Song Qian reached an agreement with Zhuo Yao the next day, and the two forces were merged into one, with Zhuo Yao under full command under the name Black Tiger.

They annexed several surrounding cities in succession, and replaced several cities with their own internal officials. From then on, they no longer paid money and taxes to Nanchen.

In other words, they are completely against it!
