The meeting continued until late at night.
Everyone spoke freely, expressing their opinions and offering their own perspectives. Then, a summary and conclusion were drawn.
Finally, a preliminary plan was finalized.
First, organize a special department and dispatch an elite team out of Hangu Pass to investigate the situation of demons and monsters outside the pass.
Lin Xuan's requirement was that, at the very least, the distribution of the strength of demons and monsters outside Hangu Pass be clearly understood.
at the same time!
Expand the Shanhe Army.
The 100,000-strong army was indeed a large force, but compared to the vast number of demons and monsters outside Hangu Pass, it was just a drop in the ocean and nothing at all.
Therefore, Lin Xuan planned to expand the Shanhe Army.
Moreover, it involves directly recruiting one million new employees.
However, this proposal has been met with opposition. According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, the number of special legions is regulated, and the current establishment of the Mountain and River Army by the Great Xia leadership, namely the War God Palace, is 100,000 men.
Unauthorized expansion is a serious crime.
Therefore, some people don't mind Lin Xuan doing this, because if someone finds something wrong with him, it will be a big problem.
However, in the end, Lin Xuan made the final decision, suppressing these dissenting voices, and decided to expand the Shanhe Army.
Of course, Lin Xuan wasn't stupid; he wouldn't let anyone find such an obvious weakness.
Lin Xuan recruited a million new men, using the pretext of the Mountain and River Army's reserve force.
Doesn't the War God Palace stipulate that the Mountain and River Army can only have 100,000 regular troops? Very well, my 1 million troops are not regular troops, but reserve troops, and are considered non-regular personnel.
However, all my treatment and training policies are the same as everyone else's.
The only difference is that it lacks a title.
To put it bluntly, it's about exploiting loopholes.
They exploited loopholes in the laws of Bactria.
In fact, there are quite a few people like Lin Xuan, and the number of people in many special legions is far from the number they actually have.
The War God Palace was fully aware of these matters.
However, it involves a lot of complex issues, so most people turn a blind eye to it.
However, Lin Xuan's group, whose numbers exceeded the limit by ten times, is probably unique in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Only he has such audacity and such financial resources.
After all, this expansion of one million troops was not recognized by the higher-ups, and Lin Xuan had to take full responsibility for everything.
Of course, the Shanhe Army has always been self-sufficient.
I have never asked the authorities for a single penny.
Three days later!
An intelligence agency specifically targeting evil spirits beyond the Great Wall was established, with an initial team of 10,000 people divided into 100 squads.
Even the weakest among them is at the fourth level of the Purple Mansion realm.
The captain and vice-captain must be at least at the second level of the Void Refinement Realm.
They will each leave Hangu Pass to gather intelligence on the evil spirits beyond the pass, a very dangerous task.
To this end, Lin Xuan specially made one hundred defensive array plates and ten thousand identity tokens.
This defensive array can instantly condense into a large defensive array, which can withstand the attacks of ordinary fifth-level Celestial Realm experts for a short period of time.
It also has a transmission function.
As long as you are within ten million miles of Hangu Pass, you can be teleported directly back to Hangu Pass.
This can ensure the safety of the soldiers to the greatest extent possible.
The identity token has even more functions; it can not only conceal one's aura, but also make it difficult for even a Celestial Realm expert to detect.
It also has a recording function.
It can record all the places it passes through, and also has a certain defensive function.
Most importantly, token holders can communicate with each other telepathically.
The effective distance reached an astonishing 100 million miles.
It's practically a fantasy version of a mobile phone.
In fact, this identity token was created by Lin Xuan based on the ideas of his previous life's mobile phone, and then using the weapon-refining techniques of this world.
He could say that this is absolutely unique in the entire world.
Unfortunately, the production cost of this thing is just too high; even making 10,000 of them would be a huge financial burden.
It's impossible to popularize it throughout the entire Shanhe Army in a short period of time.
Apart from the members of this intelligence department, other soldiers in the Shanhe Army can only be given this badge at most if they are centurions or above.
This development will undoubtedly change the landscape of warfare in the future.
In particular, it has a terrifying significance for the transmission of intelligence and the dissemination of information about various blitzkrieg tactics.
at the same time!
One month after the establishment of this intelligence organization.
Lin Xuan officially announced the start of military expansion.
The Shanhe Army recruited one million reserve troops from outside, and part of this one million-strong army was recruited from within Hangu Pass.
Lin Xuan plans to place the majority of his forces within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.
This time, he naturally wouldn't go himself, but instead ordered Su Changfeng and Duan Tianya to take charge.
He led 5,000 troops out of the outer heavens and back into the territory of the Great Xia.
Lin Xuan had no intention of obtaining approval from the War God Palace and planned to recruit on his own.
At the same time, the recruitment targets were ordinary people from impoverished areas within the Great Xia territory.
As for the specifics of how to do it, Lin Xuan didn't care at all; he only cared about the results.
Outside Hangu Pass.
As news of the expansion of the Shanhe Army spread, the entire Hangu Pass was in an uproar, with countless people eagerly awaiting the start of the Shanhe Army's assessment.
The treatment offered by the Shanhe Army is simply too generous, judging from the various conditions stated in the announcement.
It is dozens or even hundreds of times larger than that of an ordinary legion.
Anyone with even a little ambition would want to sign up for the assessment.
This includes the millions of ordinary soldiers in the Hangu Pass.
Lin Xuan naturally accepted all comers.
He allowed everyone to participate in the assessment, and as long as they passed, he would accept them all.
In a short time.
Inside Hangu Pass, everything was bustling with activity.
Outside Hangu Pass.
However, undercurrents were surging. After a hundred armies left Hangu Pass and entered the territory of the demons to gather intelligence,
At first, things went quite smoothly, since the various demon and evil races never expected it.
The human race, who have always only ever been on the defensive and have never left Hangu Pass, are incredibly audacious to send an elite army out of Hangu Pass to gather intelligence.
They were still thinking of killing them in return.
But nothing stays hidden forever; problems will inevitably arise over time.
After the first squad's whereabouts were exposed, they clashed with a large demon army, and then decisively fought back and escaped, quickly attracting the attention of various demon and evil races.
Later on, more and more squads were exposed.
The powerful figures of the various demonic races finally realized that something was wrong and began to search their respective territories extensively.
In an instant, the already chaotic area outside Hangu Pass became even more turbulent, with undercurrents surging and waves crashing.
The various demonic races reacted quickly, dispatching powerful warriors and large armies to encircle and annihilate the hundred squads of the Mountain and River Army.
at the same time!
The demonic high command viewed the human race's actions as a provocation.
He was immediately filled with rage and was itching to act.
They began to reorganize the army, preparing to close the Hangu Pass.
A storm is brewing.
