The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

As orders were issued one after another, soldiers from the five cities of Qingcheng, Ningcheng, Baishuocheng, Mengzhongcheng and Xuanwucheng set out one after another and headed for Biqiu City.

In just one day, nearly ten thousand soldiers gathered in Biqiu City, and the number of troops stationed in the subordinate cities was truly jaw-dropping.

Duan Tianyang acted quickly and reorganized the city's army of nearly 10,000 people, breaking up the original organizational structure and creating a brand new Xiguan First Corps.

At the same time, he also selected several elite soldiers with high cultivation from the city army of Xiguan City and appointed them as city guards of each city.

As for the candidate for city lord, it is nominated by the people of each city.

After a series of careful deployments, the most densely stationed troops in Xiguan were concentrated in three places: the first was Shengluo City occupied by the rebels, the second was Biqiu City, and the third was Xiguan City.

The other cities only retained about 500 city soldiers. Under Duan Tianyang's clever arrangement, the affiliated cities of Xiguan formed a close alliance, with Biqiu City as the core, to jointly resist the attack of the rebels.

As for the former city lords and city guards, they were sidelined by Duan Tianyang and placed under house arrest in Biqiu City to ensure the stability of the new ruling system.

While Duan Tianyang was carrying out a comprehensive integration of troops in Xiguan, he was also actively recruiting new troops to increase his manpower.

In this turbulent era, there are many stragglers scattered around, and people are paying close attention to the changes in the forces of all parties.

In just a few months, the force centered on Duan Tianyang not only successfully controlled Xiguan City, but also brought all the affiliated cities around Xiguan under its control.

Therefore, many knowledgeable people and martial artists came to join him.

However, Duan Tianyang was always concerned about the Chang family army in Lingfei Town.

He knew very well that it would be a pity to give up this powerful army.

Now is the time to recruit people. If we can take Chang's army into our own hands, it will be an extremely advantageous choice.

Therefore, Duan Tianyang summoned generals such as Xiao Fang and Guan Hu to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to implement the policy of appeasement and incorporate Chang's army.

He even decided to go out in person, disguised as Chang Yuan again, and go to the Chang family army’s base to personally accept their surrender as the commander-in-chief.

Guan Hu did not express any opinion on this matter, but Xiao Fang expressed his opposition in righteous words.

He stressed solemnly: "Brother Tian, ​​the strength of the army is closely related to the strictness of military discipline. On the other hand, the Chang family army is at best a mob, or even a bunch of bandits. If we include them in our army, I am afraid that our military discipline will be greatly affected. It is really not worth the loss, and it is like a rat shit spoiling the whole pot of soup."

Xiao Fang's doubts were not without reason. The Chang family army had very prominent discipline problems. Calling them rebels might be an overestimation of them.

Duan Tianyang gently touched his chin, thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "We can rectify the problem of military discipline. Now is the time to recruit people, so we can't be too demanding."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but frown. Lu Jingyuan immediately stood up and said, "Brother Tian, ​​I'll go out and take a look."

After saying that, he strode out of the hall.

After a while, Lu Jingyuan was seen coming back with a thin young man in his hand.

The young man had a sallow complexion and a thin body, with almost no flesh on him. He was carried by the burly Lu Jingyuan as easily as if he were carrying a chicken.

He strode into the hall, pushed the young man hard, and said, "Brother Tian, ​​this guy is the one making noise outside!"

Duan Tianyang examined the young man, but could not see anything special about him. He asked in confusion, "What are you doing in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"I'm here to join the army!" The young man glared at Lu Jingyuan with dissatisfaction, then glanced at the crowd around him, and finally fixed his eyes on Duan Tianyang.

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but started coughing violently.

Xiao Fang, Guan Hu and others frowned when they saw this.

This young man is so thin that he seems like he could be blown down by a gust of wind. He also looks sickly, yet he still wants to join the army?

Duan Tianyang also frowned. Seeing the young man coughing so hard, he turned around, picked up a cup of tea, walked in front of the young man, and said, "Drink a cup of tea first and take it easy."

The skinny young man coughed for a long time before he finally stopped coughing.

Duan Tianyang kindly reminded him: "If you want to join the army, you should go to the registration office to register, not come to the City Lord's Mansion."

The skinny young man replied, "Sir, I went to the registration office, but they refused to accept me."

While speaking, his eyes were always fixed on the teacup in Duan Tianyang's hand, and he swallowed unconsciously.

Seeing this, Duan Tianyang handed the teacup over again.

The skinny young man took the teacup and said gratefully, "Thank you, sir!"

Duan Tianyang's easy-going attitude seemed to make him relax a lot. He was no longer restrained and drank it all in one gulp.

Duan Tianyang put his hands behind his back and said to the skinny young man in a serious tone: "If you really want to join the army, you can only go through the registration office. If the registration office doesn't accept you, there's nothing I can do."

The skinny young man showed a disappointed look after hearing this and asked, "May I ask who this gentleman is..."

Lu Jingyuan explained expressionlessly: "This is our new chief of the city guards of Biqiu City, Lord Duan Tianyang."

The skinny young man's eyes lingered on Duan Tianyang for a long time. He didn't expect Duan Tianyang to be so young and so handsome that he looked like he was not even twenty years old.

He clasped his hands together, bowed sincerely and said, "I didn't expect to see Master Duan here. I really don't recognize you!"

Duan Tianyang was about to respond, but he continued hurriedly: "I came to join the army this time to save Lord Duan from the dire straits. Those people at the registration office are short-sighted and blind, and I think Lord Duan is completely different from them."

As soon as he said this, everyone around him raised their eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, they burst into laughter.

Although this young man was sick and looked like he might die at any time, he was so arrogant that he even dared to claim that he was here to save Brother Tian!

Lu Jingyuan rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction, walked up, grabbed the young man by the collar, and said to Duan Tianyang: "Brother Tian, ​​I think this kid is here to cause trouble, let me take him out!"

After saying that, he picked up the young man with one hand, turned around and walked out.

The young man showed an anxious look on his face and shouted loudly: "Master Duan, you are already in danger. If you don't take action in time, it will be too late to regret it!"

Duan Tianyang waved his hand to signal Lu Jingyuan to wait a moment. He asked calmly, "Brother, may I ask your name?"

The skinny young man gently smoothed his slightly messy collar, then took a deep breath and spoke solemnly: "My name is Wen Daozun."

Duan Tianyang raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile on his lips, and asked: "What do you mean when you said I was in danger?"
