After Prince Qi captured the Yuanchen Road garrison, in addition to building a fortress, he also sent troops from the teleportation array at regular intervals.

By the time the fortress was completed and the prince left, the fortress, which was called Sunset City, already had a thousand elite soldiers and five thousand healthy soldiers. The difference between the two was that the elite soldiers were slightly proficient in training, while the healthy soldiers were just qualified soldiers who could barely endure.

The pain of teleportation. The latter can be picked out of three people in the Chu army, regardless of the border guards or the state troops.

But the former is different. The ingredients are complex. Some are disciples of Taoist sects, other sects, or inner and outer sects of cultivation families. There are also casual cultivators. There are also those who have their own inheritance in the Chu army and are proficient in cultivation. They select soldiers with some qualifications in the army and pass them down to practice and kill people.

For example, some generals will pass on their secrets to those around them.

If the bodyguard's method of bloody battle can be assembled into a team and charge as elites during the war, it will often have miraculous effects. However, this type of method often has no way to master the magic and has no chance of immortality. The warlocks in the palace of King Zhou Jiang were like this. However, the Zhou people were too physically fit.

Compared with the sorcerers in the Chu army, they are like heaven and earth.

There are many reasons for this. Some of them are due to limited qualifications, seeing no way to practice, or unwillingness to sell their skills to the emperor's family to gain immortality and prosperity. They want to imitate the iron-blooded general Yang Warrior.

There are also some who are excluded by their own families and cannot compete with their peers, so they decide to join the army. If they can carve out a bloody path, it is not a bad idea. This is more common among the children of the cultivation family, such as Sun Yue, the first historian in the iron-blooded general's mansion.

Some disciples from both inner and outer Taoist sects also joined the army. Some were allowed by the sect to train in the army. Some great Chus directly expressed their hope to the Taoist sect to send monks to join the war. The sect sent them out according to the imperial edict.

The situation that Kong Zhang encountered just now was different from the previous one because it was Prince Qi's private solicitation. Moreover, even if Emperor Wu issued an edict, Kong Zhang would act rashly without Shushan's consent, which would cause trouble.

Unless Kong Zhang had the responsibility of patrolling the Heavenly Immortal Mansion like he did when he was in Yunjing, it was an organization directly created by the Taoist sect being ordered by Dachu. Even so, the Patrolling Heavenly Immortal Mansion was quite independent and even Prince Qi could not interfere with it.

These elite soldiers themselves can be said to be monks or warlocks who are knowledgeable in magic but not in magic. If they are stationed and equipped with some talismans and low-level magic weapons and strong soldiers as supplements, they can pose a huge threat to ordinary monks.

While Prince Qi is still alive, he is even more coercive to the dissatisfied tribes and has the potential to gradually replace Yuan Chen Dao's position.

In comparison, Prince Xi was a little more unlucky.

After the death of Taoist Master Hei Guang, the monks from Mount Heijia were at loggerheads with Prince Xi. The monks from Mount Heijia were better in numbers. Although Prince Xi's side was slightly outnumbered at the time, they had Zuo Chan, one of the four generals under the general's palace, to help him, as well as the two sect members of the Demonic Dao and Evil Sect.

He fought fiercely with the remaining monks from Mount Heigai for several times but still failed to capture Mount Heigai.

Heavenly Corpse Boy, Huang Quan and other powerful monks didn't help for some reason, so they were in a stalemate for a while.

But a few days later, the blood-forming old monster and the mysterious demon king finally found their way back from the interface where they were exiled by the Black Light Taoist.

After the two returned, they went on a killing spree and vented their hatred of Taoist Black Light on the disciples of Heigashan Mountain.

With these two great masters taking action, the remaining monks in Heijia Mountain were naturally unable to withstand a battle. After a great battle, nearly half of them were killed or injured, and the remaining half fled into the sea just like the monsters that were killed by the three great sects.

Prince Xi then occupied Heijia Mountain and began to build a garrison like Prince Qi.

But in the end, he was one step behind the emperor's brother, so the prince won the first battle in the fight between the two princes.

After the destruction of Heijia Mountain, the Wuji Sect finally welcomed Taoist Wuji out of seclusion. However, unexpectedly, as soon as Taoist Wuji came out of seclusion, Yasheng King Chunyang came to visit.

It is not known how he visited during this period. We only know that on that day, the color of the sky and the earth near the Wuji Sect changed and strange phenomena appeared frequently. After that, Taoist Wuji announced his surrender to the Great Chu.

And Yasheng also declared the decree on behalf of Emperor Wu, conferring the title of Taoist Wuji as the true king of the country.

At the same time, Ya Sheng passed an order to the second prince, so that the second round of competition began, which was to test the two princes' ability to govern the country.

The two princes are currently stationed in Heijia Mountain and Yuanchen Road. The areas that were originally under the jurisdiction of the two factions are also under the jurisdiction of the two princes. The two princes and their subordinates are not allowed to directly conflict. The tribes within the jurisdiction can be induced to relocate for a period of three years. It depends on which prince is chosen.

It will be more prosperous under the rule.

After Wang Chunyang finished delivering the decree, he returned and said that Taoist Wuji would observe the behavior of the two princes on his behalf. If there was any violation, they would lose the second round of the battle.

After Wang Chunyang left, a big thing happened. The missing Yuanchen Taoist suddenly appeared in the dark hellish state, and Jingjinyu regained the original Yuanchen Taoist residence.

On the Dachu side, the four heavenly and human realm monks Huang Quan, Tianzhi Boy, Zhenqi Zhenjun, and Mr. Haoran, who had been waiting secretly for a long time, took action to break Taoist Yuan Chen's black hell phase and seriously injured him.

However, Taoist Yuanchen escaped through the air, and the four monks, as well as the Mysterious Demon Lord and the old monster who came from behind, searched for him for many days with no results. It is estimated that Taoist Yuanchen has left this world to save his life.

Afterwards, the old monster who transformed into blood and the Mysterious Demon Lord temporarily guarded the Heijia Mountain Fortress. True Lord Zhengqi and Mr. Haoran were stationed in Sunset City. However, the four monks would not interfere in the dispute between the two princes, nor would they directly attack the dissatisfied tribes.

Everything has to be decided by the two princes themselves.

At this point, Kong Zhang finally understood why Prince Qi had shown solicitation intentions before. He was really short of people. Prince Xi already had the implicit support of Yang Zhan. Although he had the help of Huang Quan, the evil evil sect was clearly hedging its bets.

Prince Qi couldn't help but show a hint of sadness after he finished speaking. The two princes were temporarily called back to the city for two months before they had to return to the star realm to compete again.

The problem both of them are facing now is how to subdue the tribes that refuse to surrender. Although the tribes closer to the two fortresses have surrendered one after another, the tribes further away have always refused to surrender.

Although the Chu invasion disintegrated the rule of the three major sects, it also caused the tribe's original court system to collapse and fall into a dark and chaotic world that was even more chaotic than before.

Although the Chu army was powerful, the tribes were no match for them, but the customs and culture of the two sides were very different. Many tribes believed in "If you can't beat me, I can't hide you." They would rather stay away than pay homage as before.

Prince Qi was having a huge headache. He wanted to Huairou and didn't know how to start, let alone recruit people from the tribe to mine those spirit stone veins.

Prince Xi's response was to continue fighting all day long and lead the garrison in the fortress to attack anyone who did not surrender.

Although he did not dare to annihilate the whole tribe, he would kill the tribal leader who led the resistance every time he fought. The men in his family were sent to the fortress to do hard labor, and the women who were slightly beautiful were kept in the account.

Under such cruel high-pressure measures, one or two tribes began to succumb and pledge allegiance to Prince Xi.

Prince Qi doesn't want to take this route because his focus is different from Prince Xi's.

What Prince Xi saw was that he had used strong methods to make one tribe surrender, and if he continued to fight, he could make more tribes surrender.

However, Prince Qi thought that the emperor's brother had made one tribe surrender, but he did not see more tribes migrating out of fear. Although most of them were still within the jurisdiction of Heijia Mountain, they were getting further and further away from Heijia Mountain. Prince Xi wanted to

As the conquest continues, the front line will become longer and longer.

Some tribes have even moved to the jurisdiction of Yuanchen Dao and Wuji Sect. During the period of the rule of the three major sects, the tribes were also one of the wealth. They were only allowed to move within the divided jurisdiction. If the entire clan moved out of the boundary without the permission of the sect,

It was annihilated by the three major sects together and the territory divided between the three major sects could be divided through sect wars launched every few decades or hundreds of years.

Once a sect war determines the winner, the territory will be re-divided among the tribes, and it will naturally belong to the victorious sect, unless that tribe can move to other places within the territory before the sect it is willing to rely on is about to lose.

.

Kong Zhang saw that Prince Qi had a bitter look on his face and thought that he had given him a lot of benefits. Although he couldn't do things for him directly to avoid annoying the sect, there was no harm in coming up with ideas.

"The standard for prosperity under your Majesty's rule depends on His Majesty's words. As long as it pleases His Majesty, that's all."

Prince Qi nodded slightly and said: "Even so, it is not easy to please His Majesty. For example, continuing to mine the star realm spiritual stone veins and presenting a large amount of spiritual stones to Your Majesty to alleviate the needs of the great Chu is a clear way. But like now

If the tribe is unwilling to be used by us, do we really need to use garrison troops to mine it? Even so, we can only mine some nearby spiritual stone mines, but not far away."

"Why not transport more soldiers?" Kong Zhang said.

"No." Prince Qi said decisively, thinking that his tone was a little stronger and then lowered his voice: "To teleport, you need to use the teleportation array, which will also consume spiritual stones; for this time, my father only allows me and my younger brother to equip it for the time being.

The soldiers in the current army are not good at mining. Forced orders are not effective. If my father knew that I sent soldiers to mine, he would not appreciate it."

Kong Zhang couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he saw that this road was different.

Da Chu's occupation of the star realm and its resources was one of its main purposes. By the way, Emperor Wu wanted to test the abilities of the two princes.

According to the prior agreement, the more resources the two princes mined, they would be divided proportionately to Da Chu, Daomen and Shengmeng, so Ya Sheng took action to recruit Wuji Dao Zun. Daomen and Shengmeng also sent Heavenly Realm monks to the two major

The renovated fortress guarded the defeated Yuanchendao and the remnants of Heiga Mountain.

Prince Qi does not want to follow the example of his younger brother, Prince Xi, who uses force to overwhelm others, and even if he is still following this path, the executioner's strength is always inferior to that of his younger brother. Not as good as Prince Xi, who has strong soldiers secretly sent by the General Mansion to help, and the elite soldiers are there.
