Seven days have passed since Yao Ruoyu decided on the military title.

What is strange is that although Guan Lu left that day, he was full of resentment and hatred, and he wished he could lead the army immediately, until today, there was no news in Hangzhou, whether in the Song Dynasty, or in Chongqing, as if the imperial court had forgotten them.

However, during this period, while the Song army still attacked, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng and Luo He immediately started to recruit soldiers.

Soon, the Thunder God Camp, supplemented by Yang Renjie, Li Yilin and Hou Jingru, the Yanhu Camp, supplemented by Fu Feng, Jiang Siyu and Wu Xue, and the Luo Family Masters led by Luo He, set up a recruiting point in Hezhou City.

On the first day of setting up a recruiting site, relying on the Luo family's reputation in Hezhou City for many years, Luo He recruited 300 people in just half a day, all of whom were in the second realm of cultivation, strong and strong. Even if they were not as elite as the Yanggu Army, they were still comparable to the defenders of the major cities of the Jin Dynasty.

But on the afternoon of that day, it was very strange that only a few people signed up for the recruiting station in Luojiaying. Although his strength was still good, there was no such crowded scene in the morning.

Seeing that the gap between the morning and afternoon was so big, Luo He was curious, and then his heart moved and asked his son Luo Cheng to go and inquire about the recruitment of the Thunder God Camp and the Yanhu Camp.

As a result, when Luo Cheng came back, Luo He learned about the situation of Thunder God Camp and Yanhu Camp, and he was immediately in a bad mood.

Unlike Luo Jiaying who only set up a sign to recruit soldiers, Fu Feng spent a lot of money to bring all the singers, dancers and other innocent men from several brothels in Hezhou to the recruiting site of Yanhuying, attracting a large number of people to watch.

After the number of onlookers reached a certain number, Fu Feng ran to the platform set up in advance, talking about his origin, the treatment after the Yanhu Camp, etc.

In this era when the public is relatively simple, Fu Feng's eloquence practiced in the student union immediately attracted the interest of a large number of young people, especially when he knew that Fu Feng was one of the heroes who repelled the wild fire thieves this time, and it won the recognition of many people.

As for the Thunder God Camp, Yang Renjie directly held an exhibition, and he first condensed purple light, and all kinds of illusions and publicity were praised by the people. Then Wu Xue used spiritual techniques to create various dazzling fireworks, which made everyone around him stunned.

Then Jiang Siyu took the stage to introduce the situation of the Thunder God Camp. However, like Fu Feng, she emphasized that she and others were the heroes who repelled the wild fire thieves this time, and because of this, she attracted a large number of people to sign up.

In just one day, the Yanhu Camp and the Thunder God Camp recruited nearly 1,000 people. At the same time, Yang Renjie and Fu Feng also established a reward system. As long as people who meet the recruitment standards are introduced to join the army, they can get a certain score. After the score reaches a certain standard, they are qualified to serve as the commander of the sergeant, Turin, and general.

As a result, more and more people are signing up for Thunder God Camp and Yanhu Camp, especially in Hezhou City, where most of the residents are related to each other. Under this reward system, more and more people come to hear the news and want to join the two camps.

After learning about these situations, Luo He quickly changed his strategy and planned to learn from Yang Renjie and Fu Feng's methods.

However, the reputation of Thunder God Camp and Rock Tiger Camp has been expelled on the first day, so in the next few days, the recruitment work of Luojiaying has never been very ideal. We can only rely on the Luojia family's connections and fame in the local area to barely maintain the situation, and there is no situation where no one has signed up.

Three days later, the Thunder God Camp and the Rock Tiger Camp were recruited one after another, and the recruitment of the Luo Family Camp returned to normal and was recruited in two days.

After the recruitment ended, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng and Luo He spent a day to arrange their positions in the army.

Yang Renjie and Fu Feng naturally served as the battalion general of the two battalions, that is, the commander.

As for the rest of the Literature and Art Department, Hou Jingru and Wu Xue served as generals of the Thunder God Camp, Li Yilin and Jiang Siyu were generals of the Yanhu Camp; Chen Meng did not like to lead troops, so he served as the commander of the defenders of the City Lord's Mansion; Xu Xuanrong had no intention of leading the army, so he took the position of the head of the City Lord's Mansion, and said to the outside world that he was Yao Ruoyu's aide.

After the recruitment was over, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng and Luo He took their soldiers to the pre-divided garrison sites outside the city to train troops to prevent the possible attacks that may come.

Although he is from modern times and is not proficient in training, Yang Renjie was a descendant of the Western Chu King and also learned some training methods about the Xiang family's iron cavalry, so training is naturally not difficult for him.

As for Fu Feng, this guy simply moved the routine of military training in later generations here and joined some teamwork in the student union and other things, so in a short while, his training actually looked quite good.

The last Luojiaying was the army that was most in line with the training routines of this era among the third battalions. Luo He specially invited several middle-level generals from the former city guards to join Luojiaying and asked them to be responsible for training soldiers.

Whether it was recruiting soldiers or training troops from the Third Battalion, Yao Ruoyu did not pay much attention. First, he believed in the abilities of Yang Renjie and others, and second, he did not have much time. At this moment, he was practicing in Tongyuan Hall, hoping to fully master the sword intent before the revenge of Qin's followers.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if it was because of the critical point that his emotions were not strong enough, or because his cultivation was too weak. Until more than ten days later, Yao Ruoyu still could not fully grasp the sword intent. He only activated it two or three times, and he could only persist in counting breaths each time.

However, although he was unable to master the sword intent, because of his continuous study of the sword intent during this period, Yao Ruoyu completely mastered the sword momentum and added a number of his combat power. Even if he could not use tricks later, he could still fight over the level and compete with the four realms.

Just as Yang Renjie and others were making trouble in training and Yao Ruoyu was in seclusion to understand the swordsmanship, Xu Xuanrong was sitting in the mansion of the lord of Diaoyu City, looking at the letter in front of him with a mocking corner of his lips.

This is the information found by the Lily Sect in Chongqing. After confirming the authenticity, it was sent to Hezhou and passed to her hands immediately.

"Three days later, Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan led 5,000 soldiers to conquer Hezhou with the order."

Whispering the information on the letter, Xu Xuanrong suddenly smiled and ordered to the attendant beside him: "Go to find the city lord quickly and ask him to go back to the city lord's mansion, and tell him... the snake has come out of the cave and the situation has been completed."

*—*—*—*—*

"After a dozen days ago, Guan Lu was driven out of Hezhou City, he immediately returned to Chongqing. With the help of the transmission array, he reported the matter here to the Ministry of War in Hangzhou. As a result, the senior officials of the Ministry of War were furious and raised the matter in the court. The Prime Minister of Qin suggested that the Emperor Song issued an order to order the defenders of Tongnan and Tongliang to come to suppress the rebellion."

"But after this order was passed to Chongqing, Chu Kuangge suddenly stopped the order and applied to the court to be responsible for the matter. After hearing this, Emperor Song agreed immediately. Then Chu Kuangge ordered people to recruit militias from several nearby cities and formed an army of 5,000 people, and handed them over to Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan to attack Hezhou."

When he came to this point, Yao Ruoyu suddenly realized something and laughed: "So, this is why the Song Dynasty's offensive came so slowly. It turned out that the King of Chu took action to stop the order and asked him to be responsible. This happened and the recruitment of militias, so he came to attack us so late."

At this time, Yao Ruoyu sat upright in the city lord's mansion, and Xu Xuanrong, Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, Bai Qiuyu, Luo He, Luo Cheng and others were sitting on the left and right. This was the first official meeting of the senior executives of the Literary and Art Army.

"I said Brother Yao, isn't it time to talk about these things now?" After touching his head, Yang Renjie smiled bitterly, "Why is Chu Yuan's big stick to hit us? I don't want to fight him."

"Is it because I can't beat it?" Fu Feng said with a sinister smile.

"Damn! Who said that? I'm just beating him like playing?" Yang Renjie was furious. He just retorted, and saw Jiang Siyu and others' contemptuous gazes. Then he smiled awkwardly, "Ahem, this... I have to wait for me to raise him. Now, fight with him. What's the difference between this and a novice number full of runes and talented level 30 large number?"

Xu Xuanrong smiled and nodded: "Brother Yang said this. According to the information, Chu Yuan is already at the second level of the fourth level, while Chu Xuan is at the ninth level of the third level. In fact, it is not difficult to deal with these two people. The city lord is enough to deal with Chu Yuan, but I can deal with Chu Xuan, but the five thousand soldiers they brought is a problem."

"Isn't there still Baihe Academy?" Wu Xue was holding a grilled fish and her mouth was filled with oil. Hearing this, he immediately raised his head and smiled, "Isn't Grandpa Bai all the fifth realm? It shouldn't be difficult to deal with five thousand soldiers, right? Besides, we still have six thousand people, let's count... Oh! They don't have to do it!"

"It's not that way," Luo He shook his head slightly, "Our six thousand people are all new recruits after all. Although their cultivation may be similar to the militia led by the second son of the Chu family, they must be less than their formation and mentality, and..."

Speaking of this, Luo He couldn't help but look at Bai Qiuyu. Seeing this, Jiang Siyu said lightly: "And, Old President Bai may not be willing to help us. After all, Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan represent the orthodox court, and we are only rebels."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Bai Qiuyu pondered for a moment, then stood up and bowed to Yao Ruoyu, and said solemnly: "Before Bai came, he had tried to convince his father, but his father was unwilling, Qiuyu could not do it either. However, since Bai was a member of the Literary and Art Army, he naturally lived and died with you and would never go back on his word."

Seeing Bai Qiuyu's solemn expression, Yao Ruoyu quickly smiled and said, "Why do you need this to be a brother Bai? You and I met Chongqing and had a deep relationship. After that, we met again in Hezhou, which was also fate, so I naturally trust you."
