Chapter 454: Qinglong Legion Sets Out

Looking at the Spirit Stone fragments floating before them, the six commanders all accepted them with excitement in their eyes.

At the same time, the six shouted their thanks to Liu Bian:

"Thank you, Your Majesty! We subordinates will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust!"

After the six accepted the Spirit Stone fragments, Liu Bian glanced at Guo Jia and thought to himself:

"It is time for Fengxiao and the others to start cultivating arrays; it seems I must redeem an array manual for them."

"I just don't know if my National Fortune points are enough!"

Liu Bian pondered to himself, then said to the system in his heart:

"System, help me open the System Mall and search for array manuals below Mystic Grade Ultimate that I can redeem with my current National Fortune points."

"Ding, very well, Host."

Following the system prompt, the System Mall appeared before Liu Bian's eyes.

Immediately after, the system helped Liu Bian search for the array manuals he could redeem with his current National Fortune points.

Incomplete Array Manual: Yellow Grade Lower Quality, contains forty-nine array diagrams and setup methods for Yellow Grade Lower Quality arrays, price 1,000 National Fortune points;

Yellow Grade Mid Quality Array Manual: Yellow Grade Mid Quality, contains eighteen array diagrams and setup methods for Yellow Grade Mid Quality arrays, price 3,000 National Fortune points;

Yellow Grade Upper Quality Array Manual: Yellow Grade Upper Quality, contains eighteen array diagrams and setup methods for Yellow Grade Upper Quality arrays, price 5,000 National Fortune points;

Yellow Grade Array Compendium: Yellow Grade Ultimate, contains forty-nine Yellow Grade Lower Quality arrays, thirty-six Yellow Grade Mid Quality arrays, twenty-seven Yellow Grade Upper Quality arrays, and eighteen Yellow Grade Ultimate arrays, price 【redacted】 National Fortune points;

Mystic Grade Array Compendium: Mystic Grade Ultimate, contains all 3,600 Yellow Grade arrays and 3,000 Mystic Grade arrays, price 【redacted】 National Fortune points;

Earth Grade Array Compendium: Earth Grade Ultimate, contains all arrays below Earth Grade and 3,000 Earth Grade arrays, price 【redacted】 National Fortune points.

"Hiss..."

"This manual is truly outrageously expensive!"

"It's nearly ten times more expensive than weapons and pills!"

Liu Bian looked at the prices of these array manuals in the System Mall and could not help but exclaim.

These things were all good things, and the arrays inside were quite comprehensive.

It was just that the price was a bit high.

However, it was understandable for technique-type items to have this price.

After all, once this thing was redeemed, anyone could cultivate it.

Unlike weapons and pills, which were one-time consumables.

"System, help me redeem the 'Mystic Grade Array Compendium'."

In the end, Liu Bian decided to redeem the 'Mystic Grade Array Compendium' first; there was no need to redeem the Earth Grade one for now.

Even if it were redeemed, it could not be set up without strength above the Martial Ancestor level.

"Ding, redemption successful for the Host; remaining National Fortune points: 【redacted】."

Subsequently, Liu Bian took out the 'Mystic Grade Array Compendium' from the system space.

"Old Minister Cai, make a copy of this array compendium for all the ministers; keep the original with you, and in the future, it can be placed in the Imperial Academy's Library Pavilion."

"Right, also make a copy for Yu Ji; his constitution is an Array Dao constitution."

Liu Bian took out the newly redeemed 'Mystic Grade Array Compendium' and said to Minister of Rites Cai Yong.

Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng, on the side, received it from Liu Bian and handed it respectfully to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong excitedly held the 'Mystic Grade Array Compendium' and shouted loudly to Liu Bian:

"This old minister obeys the decree!"

"Since that is the case, ministers, go and prepare. Wenruo, when the time comes, cooperate with Zhicai to prepare the grain and fodder for Yunchang's expedition."

"This subject obeys the decree!"

"We subordinates take our leave!"

After everyone bade farewell to Liu Bian, they all hurried away.

And Cai Yong, on the way back, made a copy of the 'Mystic Grade Array Compendium' for all the Cabinet ministers, Six Ministers, and commanders of the Six Great Legions.

Of course, he did not forget Yu Ji's copy.

And at this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, after leaving the Imperial Study, rode fast all the way to the stationing area of the Qinglong Legion outside the east of Luoyang City.

And Guo Jia, who was the accompanying military advisor, also arrived at the Qinglong Legion's stationing area together.

"Third Brother, notify Wen Ze and Yuan Fu to come to the military tent to discuss matters!"

After arriving at the military tent, Guan Yu sat in the main seat and said solemnly to Zhang Fei.

"Yes, Second Brother!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly agreed, then took out his identity jade token and began to notify Yu Jin and Zhou Cang.

Soon, Yu Jin and Zhou Cang, who were training soldiers in the military camp, received Zhang Fei's message.

The two immediately gave instructions to their subordinates and hurried to Guan Yu's tent.

"We subordinates pay respects to General Guan and the Military Advisor!"

After the two saw Guan Yu and the others, they cupped their hands respectfully.

"Wen Ze, Yuan Fu, Yide and I just returned from the palace. Liaoxi Commandery Prefect Gongsun Zan, taking advantage of Youzhou being empty, seized the opportunity to capture Liaodong and Xuantu Commanderies and the other four eastern commanderies; as for the remaining Lelang Commandery, its loss is only a matter of time."

"By His Majesty's decision, this time my Qinglong Legion will send ten thousand troops to suppress the Youzhou rebellion."

Guan Yu, after seeing the two arrive, did not exchange pleasantries and said straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other and cupped their hands to Guan Yu at the same time:

"We subordinates request to fight!"

Seeing this, Guan Yu said to the two: "For this expedition, His Majesty only allows me to take ten thousand troops."

"So I intend for you, Wen Ze, to stay behind and train the remaining soldiers; you know Yuan Fu's bit of ability, he is simply not as suitable as you."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin also smiled bitterly and immediately said to Guan Yu:

"This subordinate obeys the decree!"

Seeing Yu Jin somewhat disappointed, Guan Yu could not help but comfort him:

"Wen Ze, rest assured, you staying behind to train soldiers is also a great merit. This time, His Majesty has rewarded our Six Great Legions with one million two hundred thousand Spirit Stone fragments."

"Whether we can suppress the other five Great Legions in three months depends on you!"

Guan Yu also stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly.

Yu Jin, upon hearing this, felt his expression tighten and felt full of motivation again, immediately guaranteeing:

"Please rest assured, General, this subordinate will certainly train them well!"

Moreover, he also knew that among the four of them, only he and Guan Yu were relatively suitable for training soldiers.

As for Zhang Fei and Zhou Cang, they were simply watching the show on the sidelines, all moving only when Guan Yu arranged it.

After deciding on the personnel for the expedition and those staying behind, Guan Yu asked Guo Jia:

"Military Advisor, in your opinion, when is it most suitable for us to set out?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia also replied to Guan Yu: "General Guan, this depends on when the grain and fodder from Zhicai and Wenruo arrive."

"As soon as the grain and fodder arrive, we can set out immediately."

"However, according to my estimation, they will bring the grain and fodder for the army's expedition by tonight at the latest, and we can set out tomorrow morning."

"So, General, you should assemble the army early and give instructions to the soldiers." ===== CHAPTER 455 =====
