Chapter 157 Meeting in Huailiu Courtyard, Future Changes

The military agricultural reserve has always been the hardest hit area for poaching by various military forces.

In local warfare, the role of the military agriculture department is not so obvious. After all, each state, prefecture, county, and military department has a transportation department responsible for the supply of food and fodder, and there are also granaries in many places to provide food for officials and the people.

However, once they left the borders of the Great Zhou and went to fight in foreign lands, the role of the military minister of agriculture was infinitely magnified.

Soldiers can go into battle without proper weapons, with bare hands or with inferior weapons, and still win the battle.

There are countless examples of people who fought in harsh environments, even if they had poor housing and cold clothing, and still won.

But you must never go hungry.

Eating enough is the first priority, otherwise everything else is out of the question.

"For ordinary local troops of the same rank, one military official must support five people in wartime supplies. This is the minimum standard."

"Although the nine garrisons in Shiyang Cavern have different rankings, according to the training standards, one military agriculture officer must support the wartime supplies of thirty people to be qualified."

"Just judging by the ability of the military ministers of agriculture in terms of supply, Zhao Xing, Shi Yong, Zhuang Ziqing and other Class A geniuses can supply 500 people."

"A-grade genius, slightly weaker, can supply 100 people of the same grade."

"But this is just training. In a real battlefield, if the military and agricultural workers want to obtain supplies, the situation will be much more complicated."

"From this year's training, Zhao Xing's performance in actual combat is the best. He is one level higher than the other A-level geniuses."

"If we can recruit him to the Tiger Dragon Army, it will be worth it even if we pay a price." A Si Nong wearing a cloud-patterned uniform was introducing him to the people next to him. "General Wei, Zhao Xing, is definitely worth your personal visit."

Next to the clouds, there was a man standing. He was wearing armor and holding an emerald green scepter with mysterious symbols engraved on it. It was thick at the top and thin at the bottom, and there was a tiger dragon head carved on the top.

Wei Yuan is one of the ten commanders of the Tiger Dragon Army and also the highest-ranking military minister of agriculture in the Tiger Dragon Army. Among the ten generals under the command of Marquis Ming Wu, Wei Yuan ranks first because he is good at fighting and farming. During battles, Wei Yuan is often the first to take action to change the celestial phenomena and create the most favorable combat environment for the Tiger Dragon Army.

The combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Dragon Army is very different with or without Wei Yuan.

It is often said in the outside world: If there had not been any major wars to fight, Wei Yuan would probably have been granted a title of nobility by now.

Wei Yuan was a man of burly build and simple appearance. Hearing the introduction from the garrison commander, he immediately smiled and said, "I also looked at his paper results. It's indeed as you said, that's why I came."

Wei Yuan was originally at the front line of Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion, but after receiving the news from Dongtian, he hurried back.

Apart from the military affairs in the cave, his most important task was to poach members of the Shenwei Army.

Zhao Xing's individual spells were not amazing, at least in Wei Yuan's opinion. There were people in the Jiujie Dojo who could match or even surpass Zhao Xing.

But when it comes to large-scale actual combat, especially the more complex the actual combat training, Zhao Xing's performance is far behind other geniuses including Shi Yong and Zhuang Ziqing.

We can even single out Zhao Xing and count him as a separate level.

The Tiger and Dragon Army would certainly not miss such a talent.

He was selected by the Shenwei Army? What does that matter?
The Tiger-Dragon Army was much stronger than the Divine Power Army. The Shiyang Cave Heaven was conquered by force, and the Tiger-Dragon Army of Ming Wu Hou made the main contribution in this process.

The Shenwei Army and the other armies were able to gain benefits in the Shiyang Cave Heaven thanks to the help of Marquis Mingwu.

Therefore, Wei Yuan is quite confident about poaching people this time.

Apart from the Tiger and Dragon Army, no one else can afford better treatment.

Zhao Xing opened the gate of the Eighteen Locust Trees and Willow Courtyard and invited the people from the Tiger and Dragon Army in.

There is no choice but to invite you in.

He was just a small recruit who had not yet officially joined the Shenwei Army, so he had no right to refuse these big guys.

If he dares to turn down the boss, then he can forget about staying here.

"Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army, I am here to meet General Wei! Please take a seat, General."

Zhao Xing saluted the fifth-rank military minister of agriculture. He had no mental burden and respectfully invited the boss to sit in the main hall, while he stood.

He knows very well what people are here for. This is a kind of appreciation. Even if he plans to refuse, he should not offend others.

"Zhao Xing, don't be so polite. Just sit down and talk." Wei Yuan waved his hand after taking a seat.

"Yes." Zhao Xing then sat up straight.

"You don't have to say that you are Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army." Wei Yuan smiled and said, "You can't be considered to have truly joined the Divine Might Army yet. It's just that the Divine Might Army has selected you to come here. Strictly speaking, you are currently a reserve agricultural officer of the Diliyuan of the Military Department of the Si Nong Supervisor of the Shiyang Dongtian Yangcheng Army."

"That's what the general said."

Zhao Xing did not refute, because from a systemic point of view, the military is the largest, so these reserve army farmers are all trained by the military and have no relationship with the various armies for the time being.

After that, when entering each army, the military department would issue a document and decide whether to transfer a certain agriculture officer to a certain army. This was the official procedure.

"It was not the Marquis of Boping who granted you the military position, but the imperial court. You must understand the difference."

"Yes, I will follow the general's instructions." Zhao Xing stood up and bowed.

Even though kings and princes have the right to choose people, the legal and paper documents must be approved by the central government.

Of course, having said that, whoever pulls the person will basically own him.

It must be said that although Wei Yuan is a military minister, his negotiation skills are no less than those of a counselor.

After he realized that Zhao Xing called himself "Zhao Xing of the Divine Power Army", he used the court system to correct Zhao Xing and reduce his resentment.

He was also telling Zhao Xing: Look, even if you have the idea of ​​switching sides, you don't need to feel condemned in your heart, because you are serving the court, not serving him, Marquis Boping.

"Sit down. I told you not to be so restrained." Wei Yuan smiled kindly. After Zhao Xing sat down again, he continued, "Your teacher Tian Yan at the Institute of Geology and Technology and I have been friends for a hundred years. A long time ago, we even drank bull urine together. Hahaha."

"The general has been through hundreds of battles and experienced many hardships. He is truly a role model for the younger generation." Zhao Xing bowed. This was indeed worthy of admiration. The general was defeated so fiercely that he had to drink urine to replenish water. How tragic must the battle been and how difficult his life must have been?
Zhao Xing has never had such a miserable life. He usually dies directly and waits to be resurrected. Those who can survive are all heroes!
"The situation is much better now. The army has better food, clothing, housing, transportation, treasures and weapons than before. The country is strong and the people are prosperous, and there are many talented people. Seeing that your generation has grown better than ours, this is the meaning of our struggle." Wei Yuan looked like an elder and was chatting with Zhao Xing.

"The general's ambition is admirable."

Seeing that Zhao Xing said nothing more, Wei Yuan immediately changed his strategy:

"Zhao Xing, you are Tian Yan's student. Your teacher and I want to see you make great progress."

"The Divine Might Army is not suitable for your development. Come to the Tiger Dragon Army. I will treat you like my son or nephew. I will do my best to help you with the serial military affairs assigned to you by the military this time. After you pass this probation period, you can directly come under my command and serve as a ninth-section lieutenant."

"If you have lofty ambitions, the Tiger Dragon Army is your best choice!"

Zhao Xing felt helpless. He first played the emotional card and talked about ideals, but seeing that he was unmoved, now he talked about practical interests. Is this Wei Yuan a military minister of agriculture or a counselor? His conversation was too smooth.

Tian Yan did express that Zhao Xing had better choices. The Shenwei Army was at the bottom of the nine garrisons, and Yang An, Marquis of Boping, was reinstated. In terms of strength and wealth, he was not as good as the other garrisons.

But Zhao Xing knew that this train would take off and then eventually fall, but he would not jump out of the train now.

You, Wei Yuan, haven't even been made a marquis yet. If I go to the Tiger Dragon Army, there are so many talented people there, how fierce will the competition be? If I want to gain credit, it's better to stay in the Divine Might Army.

"General, you have invited me sincerely, and I dare not refuse. However, Chen Shijie of the Shenwei Army saved my life, taught me, and helped me. If I turn my back on him once I have achieved enlightenment, it would be against my will. I hope that the general will understand." Zhao Xing said sincerely.

In fact, where did Lao Chen get so much favor? But now Zhao Xing had no choice but to hand over the pressure and hope that Lao Chen could withstand it.

Wei Yuan nodded after hearing this, as if he had expected it. He asked, "If I can repay this favor for you, will you change your mind?" Zhao Xing bowed and said, "If Lord Chen orders me to leave, it is up to the general to decide whether I stay or go."

"Okay." Wei Yuan smiled. This kid was very cunning and refused to get involved in anything. Now he finally said something real.

"In that case, you just wait here for my good news." Wei Yuan stood up.

"Congratulations, General."

Zhao Xing respectfully escorted Wei Yuan out of the hospital.

In the next few days, I don’t know if it was because Wei Yuan made an effort, but no one came to disturb Zhao Xing again.

Cheng Qingming and Ge Jinsong from Tianshiyuan also had their letters rejected by the Xuanjia Army.

Because they can't win the fight, the people of Shiyang Cave Heaven only live here out of respect for others, so how can they fight?
Zhao Xing also had a rare few days of peace and quiet.

Stay in the hospital to sort out what you have learned.

【Name: Zhao Xing】

[Realm: Upper Eighth Rank (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Occupation: Agriculture]

【Qi Luck: Yan San】

[Ju Yuan: Level 9999 (10000/)]

[Life Soul: Late Eighth Rank]

[Extra lifespan: 80 years]

Before entering the Shiyang Cave Heaven, he was at the ninth level, and not long after entering, he broke through to the eighth level.

During this period, he underwent various trainings in Shiyang Cave Heaven. In ten months, Zhao Xing also reached the eighth level from the eighth level to the eighth level perfection.

"The spiritual bridge between heaven and earth is stable, and I can already vaguely feel the presence of the Earthly Evil Qi. My extra life span has also increased by 5 years, which is due to the extra increase from taking some treasures during the cultivation process."

[Intermediate Spell: Self-Spell]

[Straw Man Method: Flying (perfect), Sacrifice Explosion (perfect), Divine Bravery (9 turns), Giant Shield (9 turns), Invisibility (9 turns), Transfiguration (9 turns), Guardian (7 turns), Soul Binding (3 turns)]

[Five Elements Observation: Intermediate Perfection], [Wild Growth: Intermediate Perfection], [Wasteland Condensation Technique: Intermediate 9th Turn], [Hundred Miles Analyzing Essence Technique: 7th Turn], [Nine Dragons Folding Technique: 5th Turn]

As for the ego spells, Zhao Xing completed the 'Four Small Spells'. However, the ego spells were too difficult to practice, so Zhao Xing only practiced the Baili Xiyuan Spell to the seventh level, and the Jiulong Zhejie Spell to only the fifth level.

The straw man technique, invisibility, illusion and protection have all been improved. The main focus is on combining multiple techniques into one. However, due to limited energy, I have not tried to learn more.

【Local faction:】

【Ksitigarbha returns to the origin (humanity) (plants) double perfection】

[Divine Guardian: Eleven Turns]

[Five Elements Earth Splitting: Intermediate Perfection]

[Boundless Underground Palace: Intermediate Perfection]

[Xuanshui Retreat: High Level 1]

The magic of the Dili School has an additional high-level method, which is a breakthrough in the test of Pinghuai Academy. It belongs to the meridian-drawing method of the Xuantu School, which is specially used to regulate the water of the earth veins.

The magic spells of the Tianshi School, such as inducing thunder, dark wind, swallowing clouds, icy rain and drizzle, are all at the intermediate level and perfection.

Sky frost, sky fire, fog concealment, rolling mines, and small nine-sky strong wind, all have nine turns.

[Raindrops: Advanced Level 3]

【Thunderbolt Breaking Delusion Finger: High Level 1】

[Teng Snake Transformation: High Level 1]

After the breakthrough of the Zizai Solar Terms Order, two more high-level methods were acquired.

[Lixia] is the solar term order, which means reaching the fourth level of the knowledge realm, combining the two self-created thunder methods into one, and developing a style called Thunder Finger to Break Delusion.

[Autumnal Equinox] Solar term order, reaching the fourth level of knowledge, realizing the method of changing the weather, Teng Snake Transformation, which is also Zhao Xing's strongest move.

Because borrowing the power of heaven and earth already involves the climate change of life, while the previous two are just "meteorological phenology".

However, Teng Snake Transformation consumes a lot of energy. To perform this method, almost half of the vital energy must be withdrawn. It is a spell that decides life and death.

As for the purchase of treasures, due to the training Zhao Xing participated in, he was only allowed to use standard equipment.

Therefore, the treasures he currently possessed were only the golden raincoat, the hundred-flowered bamboo hat, the cloud-stepping boots, and the cloud-rain beads. Among them, the cloud-rain beads were fourth-tier treasures.

The soul armor was placed in the Great Dream Academy, which was in a small world of the cave. The Great Dream Academy could not enter, and Zhao Xing had never taken it out.

As for the Great Dream of Spring and Autumn, this is a top-level method, but it is still only at the stage of 'dream preservation', and it is still far from 'dream walking'.

However, the realm of life soul has reached the late eighth level. This is mainly because Zhao Xing often does not sleep and uses sleepiness to regulate his life. This is also a kind of exercise for the life soul.

Normally, his soul should be at the early eighth level, but because of the Sleepy Bug spell, he kept drawing out the insect bodies in his soul, condensing his spirit, and his soul reached the late eighth level. That's why Zhao Xing was able to withstand Li Xiu's mental attacks and get brilliant results in this kind of course.

Another seven days passed, and there was still no movement from the outside world. Zhao Xing even took the initiative to write to Lao Chen, but received no response.

"Old Chen can't really stand the pressure, right?" Zhao Xing stood at the door and looked outside: "If that's the case, I'll really join the Tiger Dragon Army."

It's not impossible to join the Tiger and Dragon Army. A strong army has its advantages and the starting point is also higher.

He didn't have to stay in the Shenwei Army. Even if Lao Chen really saved his life, if the Shenwei Army was really a mess and there was no Hujiao Army, he would have to leave.

How could Mr. Zhao have such noble moral integrity and character?

If I am not welcome here, I will find another place that will welcome me. He had prepared himself mentally at the beginning. If he was caught by the Xuantian Sect and put on the pirate ship, he would do his best on the pirate ship.

"Military duties will be assigned in early March. If Lao Chen doesn't come, our relationship will end here. Even if I can see the future changes, I will not make a move again in the future. I hope you can really sell me for a good price."

Zhao Xing chuckled, shook his sleeves, and prepared to go in.

But at this moment——

"Zhao Xing." A familiar voice came from not far away.

Chen Shijie and Long Xiao flew onto the clouds and landed outside the courtyard gate.

　This kind of panel basically only appears once in many chapters. The spells have been kept as simple as possible, and the basic ones are not mentioned. In addition, there are no long strings of numbers, which is convenient for readers who listen to the book and avoids the word count being too long.

　　I don’t know if there are any omissions. Readers who find any omissions can tell me about it.

　　There will be a third update today! It should be after 1 o'clock and before o'clock. It should be, this melon is not ripe yet, so those who can't wait can go to sleep first.
