Chapter 440: Western Region Temple Army
This magical artifact is the Xuan-level item - Heavenly Soldier!
Xuan Level: Heavenly Soldiers (Not created by humans, but by nature): The user can select 3,000 people to become heavenly soldiers, and after a month of training, he or she will get a legion that is disciplined on the battlefield, fearless, strong, proficient in weapons, warfare, and horsemanship.
The description of the heavenly soldiers is of a rather vague type. For example, when it comes to the word proficiency, what level is considered proficient?
To what extent can one be disciplined and fearless?
If you are strong and healthy, can you wear full armor for a long time?
No one knows what the artifact will look like when it is actually used in reality. There are many things worth pondering, and the most important numbers to consider are one month and three thousand people.
There is no need to speak directly about things like the divine artifact of destiny.
Luo Wuji smiled and said, "Let's put aside the matter of the brave warriors for now. I already know what to do about the matter in the Western Region."
Although everyone was somewhat confused, the head of the Luo family was always a little different, especially the previous head, who even completely exceeded the clan members' imagination of the head of the family. They had never seen, heard of, or thought of him in the past thousand years.
By the time of Luo Wuzhi's generation, things had finally returned to normal. In the eyes of his clan members, Luo Wuzhi was the second Luo Wugong and a normal person.
…
Protectorate of the Western Regions.
Luo Shi kept stroking the statue with his hands, his eyes were full of energy, and he looked at the artifact with amazement. Luo Sheng sat opposite Luo Shi and said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that my father would give me the artifact of destiny. Ah Shi must work harder to get it."
Luo Shi tightly grasped the statue of the Heavenly Soldier and said with emotion: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely not let the family down.
I thought too simply before. The Kingdom of Dayuan was a powerful country in the Western Regions. Even if they could win with just the Wusun Kingdom and my Wushuang Marquisate, it would be a miserable victory. I have already written to the Emperor, asking for the four counties in Hexi to cooperate with logistics, and then mobilize the Han army of the Protectorate in the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and the allies in the Western Regions.
With the help of the Heavenly Soldiers and Artifacts, we will definitely conquer the Kingdom of Dayuan, kill those Dayuan nobles who are hostile to the Han Dynasty, and open up the trade routes for the next twenty years!"
Luo Shi was in very high spirits. Luo Sheng had a look of envy in his eyes. In fact, he really wanted to exchange identities with Luo Shi. He would go to the Western Regions to develop the area, while Luo Shi would go to Zhaocheng to inherit the throne of Duke Zhao.
The position of the head of the family is an honor, but Luo Sheng doesn't really care about it. But it is also a constraint. Other sons and daughters of the Luo family have a lot of freedom. The family assigns husbands and wives, but if they don't want to, they can refuse and not get married and have children.
But the same cannot be said for the head of the family and his heir. Even someone as aloof as Luo Ling has given birth to several children. This is the head of the family. He must put the family first in everything and ignore personal feelings.
Luo Sheng wanted to do something practical, especially since he was born in the Western Regions when Luo Wuzhi was guarding the Western Regions, and he liked the Western Regions very much.
But he is the eldest son, and it is his responsibility to become the head of the family, not something he can decide for himself.
Needless to say, the relationship between Luo Shi and Luo Sheng was so strong that as soon as she saw Luo Sheng's eyes, she knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but comfort him, "Brother, you can come to Wushuang Houguo more often in the future.
The younger brother remembers that his elder brother loved riding the Dayuan Ferghana horse and galloping across the grassland and between the mountains and rivers.
When we conquer the Kingdom of Dayuan, I will take all the Ferghana horses as I please, and I will definitely leave the best one for you."
Luo Sheng was somewhat moved when he heard this, and he gently patted Luo Shi on the shoulder, then said: "Let's not talk about this anymore, do you have any plans to use the divine weapon Heavenly Soldier that your father gave you?
Divine tools can achieve completely different goals when used by different people. "
Speaking of business, Luo Shi cast his eyes on the statue in his hand again, and said hesitantly: "It mainly depends on who will use it. I have some ideas at the moment, but I haven't figured it out yet."
Luo Sheng said softly: “My father’s letter said that he originally planned to send the Warrior, but later canceled the Warrior plan and sent this artifact instead.
The powerful point of this artifact is that it ignores people's physical fitness. It can create an elite force. The weaker the people you choose, the greater the value they will gain after they become heavenly soldiers."
Luo Shi nodded slowly after hearing this. The power of the Xuan-level props was enough to distort reality.
The brave warrior is very strong.
However, the emergence of brave warriors is the result of selecting physically gifted children from a young age, and through years of training from diet to training, only then can we obtain the strongest soldiers in the world.
If they were simply allowed to grow up freely, with only a small number of people in the Luo family, even if their genes were selected from generation to generation, it would be difficult for them to have so many soldiers with strong physical fitness enough to become brave warriors.
But it’s different for the heavenly soldiers. Even if they are skinny, as long as the power of the heavenly soldiers is still on them, they can become strong after a month of training. This completely distorts the logic of reality.
Luo Shi gently pinched the statue in his hand, and a ray of light spread out and went straight into his mind.
A voice suddenly appeared in Ji Zhao's mind, which was far away in the void heaven.
[Dear master, your descendants have used the mysterious item, the Heavenly Soldier Artifact. Please choose a pattern for the banner.]
Then countless patterns flashed before his eyes. He stepped forward expressionlessly, time and space froze, and he chose to stop.
Then a flag appeared in Luo Shi's hand, appearing out of thin air!
Luo Sheng stared at the scene in astonishment. After all, even he had never used the family's divine weapon.
This was a huge flag. Even if it was placed in a military formation, it would be considered a large banner. Luo Shi slowly lifted a corner of it with trembling hands.
Countless exquisite patterns seem to be born on it. The mountains, rivers, rare birds and beasts of the Western Regions are engraved on it in a very artistic way. In the center of the flag is an extremely exquisite phoenix flying with its wings spread out, and there are countless majestic and powerful soldiers guarding it. There are cavalry, infantry, charioteers, etc., and countless kinds of weapons are painted on it.
"How magnificent!"
Luo Sheng couldn't help but admire.
“It’s so powerful!”
Luo Shi couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing Luo Shi's sigh, Luo Sheng was very curious. He knew that there were some hidden abilities of the artifact that could only be known after using it, so he quickly asked, "Ashi, is there anything special about this artifact?"
Luo Shi gently stroked the flag in front of him and said with a smile: "Brother, this flag is the source of the power of the three thousand heavenly soldiers. As long as the flag is not lost or damaged on the battlefield, and the soldiers are not directly annihilated on the battlefield, the heavenly soldiers can be rebuilt.
But rebuilding is not as simple as the first time, and I haven’t fully understood the rules yet.”
reconstruction!
Luo Sheng immediately grasped the key point and asked excitedly, "Does this mean that this legion can exist forever?"
Luo Shi thought about it for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "If we ignore those conditions, it can exist forever."
After getting the confirmation, Luo Sheng was shocked. No wonder Luo Shi said that this artifact was so powerful. It turned out that it could exist forever. Luo Sheng currently knew that the only one who could exist forever was the guardian of the family.
But the number of family guardians is so small, while the number of these soldiers is dozens of times more!
Luo Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, I plan to use not only the Han army in this legion, but also the mixed-race descendants of the Han army and the local people in the Western Regions, as well as the local people who converted to the Su Wang, to form a legion with Western blood as the guardian legion of the Su Wang Temple."
Luo Sheng fell into deep thought after hearing this. The Han army has its own advantages, and the local area has its own advantages.
The Han troops that were able to come to the Western Regions were naturally elite troops, and in a place so far away from the Central Plains, they were basically tightly united around the Grand Protector.
But the disadvantage is that the Han army has no sense of belonging to the Western Regions. Everyone wants to return to the Central Plains. For example, if there is a rebellion in the Central Plains, the emperor will issue an order requiring the Han army in the Western Regions to return to the country to quell the rebellion. This is very possible.
This is true even in modern society.
Ji Zhao worked in the Western Regions in his previous life. Most of his colleagues came from the Central Plains. Even if they had settled down after working for a few years, many of them would sell their houses and leave once they had the chance.
Luo Shi's vision for this army was to permanently station troops in the Western Regions, especially since the banners depicted the mountains and rivers of the Western Regions. This made Luo Shi feel that this must be King Su's intention, so he directly excluded those who might return to the Central Plains.
The most likely candidates are the Han army who have settled here and will never return to the Central Plains, the descendants of the Han army who stayed here, and the people from the Western Regions who are on good terms with the Protectorate and worship King Su.
Being the legion guarding the Temple of Suwang is a great honor and also a political connection.
Moreover, it is impossible to maintain such a fully armored army in the Western Regions by relying solely on the Western Regions Protectorate. Moreover, since they have taken the emperor's money and eaten the emperor's food, they must listen to the emperor. If they want to break free from his control, they must rely on these wealthy local kingdoms.
You work for whoever pays you; this is the unchanging rule of the military.
Hearing Luo Shi's idea, Luo Sheng smiled and said, "Ashi, you are going to form a volunteer army in the Western Regions."
In the Han Dynasty, the advantage of the Yicong Corps was its semi-independent nature, which just suited the needs of the current Luo Shi. If they encountered unreasonable demands from the emperor, they could be directly disbanded among the various countries and recruited again in times of war.
After Luo Sheng finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "We still need to talk to the emperor. We can't just recruit them. This is a taboo."
Luo Shi nodded and said, "I don't know if the previous letter has arrived in Chang'an, but I will send someone to deliver this letter immediately at an expedited speed of 800 miles."
Just as the second group of messengers were on their way, the first group of messengers had already arrived in Chang'an after traveling day and night to meet the emperor.
————
The emergence of the Western Regions Temple Army is a miracle. This army, jointly established by people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, fully reflects the deep friendship between the people of all ethnic groups. The people of all ethnic groups are united and strongly safeguard the unity of the country, composing one song after another of praise for heroic sons and daughters. ——"History·Grade 8, Volume 2·Royal Publishing House"
