"Master Chen, you want to subdue so many people, what do you want to do?"
Ling Mo couldn't help but ask.
A terrible thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Could it be that Chen Xuan really wants to rebel?
If he didn't want to rebel, why did he subdue so many bandits?
You can conquer someone, but you have to spend money to support him!
For example, the three thousand men of Black Whirlwind were originally bandits who made a living by robbing everywhere.
Now that you have tamed them, you can't possibly let them rob people everywhere, right?
Keeping them by your side and taking care of them, three meals a day, feeding three thousand people every day is a huge expense.
Ling Mo doesn't think that Chen Xuan is the kind of person who has nothing better to do than to raise bandits.
Since he wants to subdue all the bandits at the border, he must have a major plan!
As for whether it was a rebellion, although Ling Mo had this guess, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Haha, I naturally have my own plans."
Chen Xuan chuckled.
What's the point of subduing so many bandits?
Of course, it is to build your own power!
He will fight back to the capital in the future!
How can you do it without any soldiers?
Let them be bandits. After some reformation, their combat effectiveness is still very strong.
"There are so many bandits making trouble outside, and the King of Zhenxi doesn't care, so I will. I will subdue these people and form my own power, then I can cooperate with the King of Zhenxi."
Chen Xuan smiled.
Ling Mo was stunned.
Cooperate with King Zhenxi?
Are you sure you're not rebelling?
"Master Chen, what are you planning to do with the King of Zhenxi?"
Ling Mo couldn't help but ask, he felt that the word cooperation was simply nonsense.
"Of course, do something interesting." Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
At the moment, it's still too early and he won't speak out his inner thoughts so quickly.
Ling Mo pondered for a moment, and suddenly said solemnly: "Master Chen, I'm afraid you think things are a little too pessimistic."
"If we really want to bring the other three bandits under our command, that would be a bandit group of over ten thousand people. By then, the King of Zhenxi will definitely be unable to sit still."
"How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?"
"I'm afraid the King of Zhenxi will not cooperate with you. Not only will he not cooperate, but he will most likely concentrate his forces to deal with you."
"The King of Zhenxi has nearly 200,000 troops guarding the city. Although the troops of our Barbarian City have surrendered to you, the King of Zhenxi still has 190,000 troops after deducting us."
"If they really want to deal with us, it's like hitting an egg with a stone. We are the egg, and we will break at the first touch!"
As he spoke, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.
"Master Chen, in my opinion, we should just maintain the status quo for now and not expand our strength. Once the King of Zhenxi finds out that we have secretly developed so many troops under his nose, he will definitely not tolerate us!"
"Even if you are from the Chen clan in the capital, it's useless!"
"When the time comes, the King of Zhenxi will report this to the imperial court and accuse you of treason. The Chen clan will not be able to protect you. In fact, in order to avoid being implicated by you, they will most likely cut off all ties with you immediately!"
He analyzed a lot in one breath.
Chen Xuan listened to him quietly throughout the whole process without interrupting him.
"Commander Ling, I have considered all that you said. Don't worry, I am not a reckless person. There are many things that I will not do before the time is right."
"Next, tell me the truth. Are there any powerful masters around the King of Zhenxi?"
Chen Xuan said calmly.
Ling Mo finally understood. After all, Chen Xuan still had his eyes on the King of Zhenxi. Otherwise, why would he ask about his background?
But since Chen Xuan asked, he naturally couldn't not tell him.
"Master Chen, the King of Zhenxi is surrounded by many experts."
"First of all, in the entire border area, each of the 24 cities has soldiers guarding the city. The smallest one has only 2,000 soldiers, and the weakest commander of the soldiers is at the third level of martial artist."
"The stronger ones, like me, are at the fourth level of martial artist."
"The stronger ones are the fifth or even sixth level martial artists."
"But in fact, we commanders are all small people."
"Under the command of the King of Zhenxi, there is a Zhenxi Army. This is his private army. It does not belong to the court. He pays for it himself."
"This Zhenxi Army only has a thousand people!"
"But, everyone is the elite among the elite! Because the conditions for joining the Zhenxi Army are very harsh."
"First of all, the minimum requirement to be selected into the Zhenxi Army is to be a warrior, and the weakest centurions of the Zhenxi Army are all martial arts masters!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan was slightly surprised.
The Zhenxi Army has a thousand men, which means there will be a total of one hundred centurions.
In this case, there will be at least a hundred martial arts masters in the Zhenxi Army.
The requirements for a decurion are so high, what about a centurion?
There are only ten centurions!
"Among the centurions of the Zhenxi Army, the weakest are all eighth-level martial artists, while the strongest are ninth-level martial artists!"
"I was a member of the Zhenxi Army back then! But my strength has reached its limit. It is impossible for me to become a centurion in the Zhenxi Army in this lifetime, so I just resigned. The King of Zhenxi assigned me to the Barbarian City as the deputy commander."
"Deputy Commander?"
Chen Xuan was a little surprised.
Ling Mo explained, "I was originally only the deputy commander, but half a year ago, we fought a large-scale battle with the people of Shatuo outside the Great Wall. Our Barbarian City sent out a general force to support them, but the commander was ambushed and killed, so I became the commander."
"Normally, every city would have a primary and a secondary commander, but half a year has passed, and for some reason, no martial arts master has been dispatched to serve as my secondary commander."
"So when I met you for the second time, I specifically sought you out, hoping that you would be my deputy commander."
Speaking of this, Ling Mo laughed at himself.
At that time, he was still thinking about subduing Chen Xuan. Thinking about it now, this idea was simply ridiculous.
"So, this Zhenxi Army also has two commanders, one chief and one deputy commander?" Chen Xuan continued.
He was a little curious because the centurion was already an eighth-level martial artist or even a ninth-level master.
So how strong must the two commanders be?
Ling Mo nodded, with an extremely solemn expression on his face: "The two commanders of the Zhenxi Army are both martial arts masters!"
"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Zhenxi Army is not the strongest around the Zhenxi King. It's just that this army is the most suitable for the battlefield. They are natural killing war machines trained by the Zhenxi King!"
"In addition to the Zhenxi Army, there is also a mysterious force around the King of Zhenxi. It is very powerful and pretends to do assassinations. It is hard to guard against. Even the Tianshan Sect is very afraid of it."
"And the King of Zhenxi himself is also a martial arts master. It is said that his strength is not weaker than that of the leader of the Tianshan Sect!"
