Chapter 331: The Shadow Guard is Initially Formed
"Report..."
Just at this moment, an urgent report from a soldier outside the door came! Afterwards, only a soldier entered the hall and said urgently to Zhang Liao and the others:
"General, an urgent report from Shangjun, the five generals Zhang Long and others have successfully taken the other five cities of Shangjun. Now, the entire Shangjun land has been completely controlled by us!"
The soldier said to everyone quickly and looked at Zhang Liao with excitement.
"Good, Zhang Long and the five did not disappoint me. When can they arrive at Huanyang City?"
Zhang Liao heard this, also clapped and cheered with excitement, and then asked the soldier.
"Reporting to the General, General Zhang Long and others set off three days ago. It is estimated that they will arrive at Huanyang City in three days."
The soldier replied respectfully to Zhang Liao.
"Good, Military Advisor, send the battle report to His Majesty immediately, and don't forget the imperial court!"
Zhang Liao said to Xi Zhicai with excitement. Although he already knew that with their strength, taking Shangjun was no problem.
However, this guessed matter was not something that had happened after all, and it was not as reassuring as the battle report!
Xi Zhicai was also full of excitement. Being able to occupy the entire Shangjun land in such a short time, besides their powerful military strength,
also fully explained the ability of their high-level generals!
"General, rest assured, I will go and write it now, and guarantee that it will be sent to His Majesty as quickly as possible!"
"Good, then I will trouble the Military Advisor. Tonight, I will reward the three armies. The soldiers have worked hard for so many days, so let's celebrate the results we have achieved!"
After Zhang Liao arranged things, he said to everyone.
"Thank you, General!"
After hearing Zhang Liao's words, everyone immediately cupped their hands respectfully to him.
And at this time, Liu Bian's army, after more than ten days of marching, had already arrived at Qi County. After crossing Qi County, it was the territory of Anding Commandery.
"Report..."
Just at this moment, the loud shout of the messenger soldier came! Only a soldier riding a war horse came quickly to Liu Bian's side.
He said loudly to him: "Reporting to Your Majesty, General Zhang Liao sent good news!"
After speaking, he took off the package behind him, took out the letter inside, and handed it to Liu Bian respectfully.
Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng saw this, immediately took it from the soldier's hand, and handed it to Liu Bian respectfully.
Liu Bian took the battle report handed over by Li Liangcheng and opened it to read.
"Good! Good! Good!"
After reading it, Liu Bian immediately shouted good, which showed how happy he was.
Afterwards, he said to everyone: "The battle report sent by Zhang Liao says that he has successfully taken Shangjun. Now, he is resting in Huanyang City in Xihe Commandery."
"And Xihe Commandery, two cities have been taken by them, and they will soon attack the commandery city of Lishi City."
After speaking, Liu Bian handed the battle report in his hand to Guo Jia and the others.
"This is the detailed battle report, you all take a look!"
Guo Jia took the battle report from Liu Bian's hand and read it quickly. After reading it, he gave it to Jia Xu.
Several people soon finished reading the battle report, and all showed excited expressions on their faces.
Guo Jia immediately said to Liu Bian: "Congratulations to Your Majesty. From General Zhang Liao's battle report, it can be seen that Bingzhou should be taken within a month!"
"Fengxiao is right. Bingzhou mainly relies on Niu Fu in Jinyang City, Taiyuan Commandery. As long as Zhang Liao quickly takes Jinyang, the six commanderies in the south of Bingzhou will all be in my hands!"
Liu Bian also expressed approval for Guo Jia's words. After all, the strength of Bingzhou, except for Niu Fu's twenty thousand troops in Jinyang, could still cause them a slight difficulty.
Other cities had at most five thousand troops and had to guard against the Xiongnu in the north, so they would not easily mobilize troops to support.
Therefore, as long as Zhang Liao could take Jinyang, except for the three commanderies in the north occupied by the Xiongnu, the entire Bingzhou could be said to be in Liu Bian's hands.
And the strength of Zhang Liao and the others was far stronger than Niu Fu's. Niu Fu could not be Zhang Liao's opponent at all.
"Wenhe, tell the Shadow Guard to infiltrate the cities of Liangzhou immediately and cooperate with the army when the time comes!"
Liu Bian said solemnly to Jia Xu beside him. Ever since the Shadow Guard was established,
Liu Bian had spent a great price and even found a sword master from the common people, Tai'a, to serve as the Deputy Commander of the Shadow Guard.
And Liu Bian specifically spent fifty thousand National Fortune points from the system mall to exchange for the exclusive cultivation technique of the Shadow Guard.
Just this one technique almost exhausted the National Fortune points Liu Bian had saved for so long.
"Shadow Divine Art," this technique was even more powerful than the techniques cultivated by a group of civil and martial officials. It was a Heavenly Grade Extreme technique that could be cultivated until the Immortal Realm.
Currently, the core members of the Shadow Guard had already developed to more than thirty thousand people, and their minimum cultivation had reached the strength of a first-rate martial general.
Tai'a even had the strength of a Postnatal Third Heaven, an existence of the same realm as Lü Bu.
And those who reached the Postnatal Realm, besides Tai'a, there were twelve others, and there were one hundred people with the strength of a Divine General, and the others were all first-rate martial generals.
From here, one could see the power of the Heavenly Grade Extreme technique.
Jia Xu saw that Liu Bian wanted to use the Shadow Guard and was also a little excited.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have already arranged for the Shadow Guard to go out, but there are not many people arranged for the Shadow Guard!"
"It doesn't matter if there are fewer Shadow Guard members. The strength of the Shadow Guard members is not weak. At critical moments, taking the city gate is no problem! And aren't there still Shadow Guard members!"
Regarding Jia Xu's answer, Liu Bian also understood. When he established the Shadow Guard, he said that the Shadow Guard was mainly for spying on intelligence, so the corresponding cultivation was not high.
And the Shadow Guard was mainly for assassination, so the Shadow Guard members had higher requirements for cultivation.
"By the way, how is the infiltration of the Shadow Guard in other commanderies?"
Thinking that the Shadow Guard had been established for a month, Liu Bian also wanted to know how it was developing now.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, currently, except for Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, and Youzhou, which are far away, there are Shadow Guard members in other commanderies. Later, I am still vigorously developing."
"After another month, the Shadow Guard members will be able to cover the entire thirteen provinces of the world!"
Speaking of this, Jia Xu was also a little excited. After all, being able to develop the Shadow Guard to this scale in such a short time was also quite an achievement.
Hearing this, Liu Bian and the others were also a little surprised. After all, this was only a month's time. If it could develop like this in a year, they would not be surprised.
"Wenhe, oh Wenhe! I didn't expect that when I asked you to form the Shadow Guard, you gave me such a big surprise."
"Good, this matter was handled beautifully. Don't be too anxious later. The personnel must be reliable and must not be infiltrated by other forces!"
Liu Bian first praised Jia Xu and then warned him.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the people I found are all reliable people. They have all passed the test of the Wenxin Mirror bestowed by Your Majesty!"
Jia Xu immediately explained respectfully to Liu Bian. ===== CHAPTER 332 =====
