After the eloquent speech, it was time to distribute the wages.
The silver in the box is the life-saving money for this group of new soldiers. Whoever takes the money will be a member of the Ming Cult in life, and will become a ghost of the Ming Cult in death.
Zhang Wuji slowly walked to Yang Xiao's side.
"Uncle Yang, the march of an army of more than 20,000 is bound to arouse the vigilance of outsiders. Therefore, before our army arrives at the city of Xuzhou, we must try our best to prevent others from discovering our true intentions."
"The reason why I haven't told this group of new troops about attacking Xuzhou is that I don't want the news to leak out in advance."
"The army is about to set out, so from now on, anyone who leaves the camp without permission will be executed immediately. Anyone who leaves the team without permission during the march will be executed immediately. Anyone who delays will be executed immediately. Anyone who spreads rumors in the army will be executed immediately..."
Zhang Wuji's eyes suddenly became fierce.
Even Yang Xiao felt a chill in his heart when he saw this cruel look.
Zhang Wuji continued to say to Yang Xiao: "Uncle Yang, managing an army is different from managing a sect."
"We are the ones who want to conquer the world. If we take a wrong step, we will be doomed."
"This time we have traveled hundreds of miles to launch a surprise attack on Xuzhou. We do not have an advantage in terms of military strength. If we are not more decisive in killing, we will surely be defeated."
Yang Xiao nodded quickly: "The leader is right, I, Yang Xiao, would have risked my life long ago."
"When we arrive at the city of Xuzhou, I, Yang Xiao, will lead the charge. If I can't take Xuzhou, I will either take the initiative or kill myself."
Zhang Wuji nodded with satisfaction.
Yang Xiao has a high level of cultivation and a good mind. Among the Ming Cult, he is one of the people that Zhang Wuji admires the most.
Zhang Wuji had already made plans in his mind. If nothing unexpected happened, he would train Yang Xiao to become the most capable general under his command.
…
The army set out.
The team of more than 20,000 people was huge.
At the front of the team was Zhang Wuji riding a tall horse, and on both sides of him were Zhou Zhiruo and Zhu'er.
Yang Xiao and a group of masters from the Ming Cult were supporting them from behind.
The reason why Zhang Wuji walked in front was that he wanted to discover potential dangers as soon as possible.
His cultivation level is rare in the world, and no movement can escape his eyes.
While walking, Zhang Wuji would look around and behind him from time to time, and for a moment he felt some emotion.
Behind him are thousands of troops, and on his left and right are two beauties who will follow him through life and death.
As a tall and strong man, he is already satisfied to have such a scene.
…
The journey was safe and sound, and Zhang Wuji's team did not attract the attention of the Yuan soldiers.
In a world like today, there are wars every day.
Each vassal king has hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers under his command.
Sometimes they fought against the Yuan Empire, and sometimes they attacked each other.
Large-scale mobilization of troops occurs every day.
Zhang Wuji did a great job keeping his sneak attack on Xuzhou secret. Even now, few people know about it.
Even if there were spies among the newly recruited soldiers, they would not be able to determine his intentions so quickly.
…
Three days later, the troops led by Zhang Wuji had already traveled most of the distance.
The rapid progress was largely due to Zhang Wuji.
During this period, he conducted high-intensity training for his soldiers every day.
The idea of sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in war has been engraved in the hearts of every soldier.
That kind of high-intensity training is nothing compared to marching dozens of miles every day.
…
At night, Zhang Wuji ordered the team to stop and rest.
Zhou Zhiruo and Zhu'er, one took out dry food from her pocket and the other handed over a water bag.
After Zhang Wuji took the things from their hands, he said in a guilty tone: "It's really hard for you two. You are two beautiful women, but you have to follow me and suffer this."
Zhu'er quickly said: "I'm not afraid. I'm happy to do anything as long as I can be with you."
Zhou Zhiruo also quickly said: "I'm not afraid either. I have experience in this kind of thing. The last time I besieged Guangmingding with the six major sects, the distance we walked every day was much longer than now."
After saying this, Zhou Zhiruo actually laughed.
"It's really interesting the more I think about it. Who in this world could have imagined that I, Zhou Zhiruo, would actually fight others together with the leader of the Ming Cult..."
After hearing what Zhou Zhiruo said, Zhu'er also laughed out loud.
Zhu'er said: "Sister Zhou, what the world can't imagine is that you actually became the woman of the leader of the Ming Cult."
After these days of getting along, these two beauties have slowly become accustomed to each other's presence.
Even Zhou Zhiruo had long since come to terms with it and felt that it was good to have Zhu'er around.
"It saves Zhang Wuji from being bullied by her alone every night."
Just as the three of them were talking and laughing, Yang Xiao hurried over.
"Master, we just caught two spies."
"After being interrogated once, it was found that one of them was arranged by the Yuan court, and the other was Zhang Shicheng's man."
Zhang Wuji nodded slightly: "This is normal. Don't we often plant spies in other people's territories?"
"Have these two people been killed?"
Yang Xiao quickly replied: "He hasn't been killed yet. I just want to ask you, do you want to execute him in public or kill him secretly?"
