At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 30: Creation of the Black Armor Army

"A dragon hidden in the abyss will eventually soar. Xiliang is bitterly cold, but Xiao Han can still stabilize the situation."

Xie Xuanli said leisurely: "If he has rebellious intentions, I can't stop him, and neither can you."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at Xiao Han's appeal in the army. If he raises his arm and calls out, I wonder how many people in the Northern Army will follow him."

"But he didn't."

Xie Xuanli spread out his hands with a helpless look on his face.

Yuan Hong remained silent.

"If we don't send this batch of military equipment and food, I'm afraid the last bit of friendship between the general and the commander will be severed."

Xie Xuanli sighed: "It's good now. At least when I'm here, Xiliang controlled by Xiao Han and my Jiyou Land are still one."

"What about next?"

Yuan Hong asked.

Xie Xuanli picked up the teacup and took a sip. "I have done everything I should and could do. If that brat doesn't live up to his expectations, my children and grandchildren will have to bear the consequences."

Xie Xuanli still had some words to say.

If he didn't provide this batch of military equipment and food, Xiao Han would be forced into a desperate situation and surrender to the imperial court, which would only make things more troublesome.

Xiliang is a place where four wars broke out and bordered Yizhou.

If the imperial court wanted to intervene in Xiliang, it could simply bypass the territory under his jurisdiction.

If it comes to that, it won't be something that can be solved by thousands of horses and armor.

Seven days later.

The military equipment and food supplies sent by Marquis Zhenbei finally arrived at Xiliang City before the heavy snow.

It solved Xiao Han’s urgent problem.

The person in charge of the escort was the Lieutenant General of the Northern Army, originally Xiao Han's subordinate. After resting in Xiliang for a few days, he turned back and left.

Camp outside the city.

Xiao Han rode past, inspecting the new recruits wearing the emperor's armor.

He wore black armor, a narrow seven-foot-long sword, a scabbard-covered sword on his waist, and a strong bow and crossbow on his back.

Regardless of its combat effectiveness, at least it looks very good.

Ten thousand people were lined up neatly on the parade ground.

In front were the cavalry, and behind were the infantry armed with large shields and spears.

Everyone held their heads high and their backs straight, accepting the inspection of the governor Xiao Han.

“It looks a bit like that.”

After the review, Xiao Han rode his horse to the front of the parade ground, nodded slightly, and swept his sharp eyes over everyone.

"Dayueer, take the things out."

He spoke in a deep voice.

Dayueer opened the long box in her arms. On it was a word "Xuan" written in iron and silver strokes. It looked majestic, yet filled with a hint of murderous aura.

"From now on, you will no longer be among the palace soldiers."

Xiao Han said, "We have formed our own army, named Xuanjia, and it is under the command of the Governor of Xiliang, which means I am in direct command of it."

The training ground was silent and still.

Only the strong wind blows the banner.

A series of burning eyes looked at the man.

"Have you ever heard of the Yuyangfu Army?"

"know."

Someone answered.

"The Northern Army has more than 200,000 cavalry, and the Yuyang Army is the largest."

"very good."

Xiao Han raised his lips: "I was the one who brought up the Yuyang Prefecture Army, but that was in the past. From now on, the Xiliang Black Armor Army is the best cavalry in the world."

"If you don't have ambition, you can quit now."

"No retreat."

Tens of thousands of soldiers roared in unison.

"I can not hear."

Xiao Han roared.

"No retreat."

"No retreat."

"No retreat."

The sound shook the world.

Anger soars into the sky.

Xiao Han saw ferocity and a desire to win in their eyes.

Without these two things, you cannot become elite.

"I'm telling you."

He raised his eyebrows: "What is the Black Armor Army? It is undefeated and never retreats. It will win every battle."

“Undefeated.”

"No retreat."

“Undefeated.”

"No retreat."

These soldiers of the Black Armor Army seemed to be energized and roared at the top of their lungs.

Seeing the high morale, Xiao Han smiled with satisfaction. He called Gao Li and said, "I will transfer Zhao Mule over to train them with you. Before the spring ploughing next year, if you can't train well, you will go to the kitchen to do odd jobs."

"General, don't worry."

Gao Li patted his chest and said, "I will definitely train them hard."

"Okay, I have something else to do in the mansion, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, he left the military camp with Xueying and Dayueer.

Late October.

The first snow fell in Xiliang.

When I woke up, the sky and the earth were all white, and the mountains, fields and rivers were all silent.

There were sparse snowflakes floating in the air, splashing and drifting in the wind.

Xiao Han pushed open the door.

Miaoyu was leading a group of maids and servants to clear the snow in the courtyard.

Cao Ruixue was also among them, her little face red from the cold. She was sweeping the snow while chatting with other girls.

In the pavilion not far away.

Dayue'er was leaning against the railing, staring blankly at the green bamboo in front of her covered with snow.

"What are you talking about? You look so happy."

he asked with a smile.

"Nothing, just some girlish boudoir talk."

The maids all shut up and Miaoyu explained.

"Rui Xue, go to the kitchen and heat up some food for the young master."

She spoke.

"it is good."

Cao Ruixue trotted to the kitchen.

These days, she seemed to have gradually gotten used to being a maid.

"Da Yue'er, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Han said across the corridor.

"nothing."

She turned around and said, "It's just that the recent days have been a bit too peaceful, and I feel like I haven't adapted to it yet."

"It's not exciting enough."

Xiao Han chuckled: "Would you like to try something exciting?"

"No."

Dayue'er blushed slightly and muttered, "You have no shame, letting people eat everything."

"Cough cough."

He shook his head: "If you really have nothing to do, then put more effort into practicing."

"understood."

She stuck out her tongue playfully.

After breakfast, the snow gradually got heavier.

Miaoyu carried the stove, boiled some water, and began to sort out the official documents and books in the room.

Xiao Han took out the Blood-Slaying Knife and stepped into the courtyard. Heavy snow was falling. He drew his sword and began to practice his moves one by one.

His swordsmanship is extremely simple and can be described by the four words "plain and unpretentious", without any fancy moves.

It means vertical chopping, horizontal chopping, and diagonal slashing.

Lingyun's swordsmanship emphasizes momentum and intention, but not moves.

This is not correct. It should be said that the moves of Lingyun swordsmanship are so clever but unfair, and so simple but clumsy.

He gave up changing his moves, but each strike of the sword, although seemingly light, was actually extremely powerful.

Although his speed was slow, in the eyes of martial arts masters like Dayue'er, Xiao Han's swordsmanship was by no means ordinary.

Every strike of the sword was a blend of his energy and the murderous aura that filled his body.

Dayueer was fascinated by the show.

Her beautiful eyes opened wide and her expression was extremely surprised, but after a moment, her expression turned into horror.

She involuntarily took a half step back, her chest heaving and her breath gasping.

"What a domineering sword move."

Dayueer muttered to herself.

"The master's swordsmanship is domineering."

Blood Shadow walked over, holding the ancient sword in his arms, his expression was still cold, but there was some emotion in his eyes.

He has never actually seen Xiao Han take action.

At most, at Qimen Pass, he witnessed Xiao Han killing two Vajra Realm warriors with just three moves. It was pure crushing, and it was impossible to tell the depth of his strength.

Apart from this, Xiao Han never took action again.

"If you can't withstand this pressure, I'm afraid you won't be able to block even a single blow from your master."

"Based on this domineering aura alone, the master's swordsmanship is probably ranked among the top five sword masters in the world."

Dayueer said with some lingering fear.

If it had been Xiao Han who had attacked at the foot of the Qilian Mountains that day, he would probably have been killed instantly with one blow.

What’s funny is that I actually went to assassinate him just for a few hundred taels of gold.
