Chapter 46 Beimang Town
Beimang Town is located in the northwest of Hanyang City and is a purely military town.
The military camps of the Zhenbei Army are distributed around Beimang Town, and the military camps stretch for dozens of miles.
200,000 of the 300,000 Zhenbei Army are stationed here to recuperate.
In addition to regular training, the 200,000 Zhenbei Army also reclaims wasteland and stores food in this northern border.
Most of the 300,000 Zhenbei Army are not cultivators, and can only be considered stronger than ordinary people.
After all, you need spiritual roots to cultivate, and not even one out of a hundred people can cultivate.
Cultivators with lower cultivation need food to maintain energy, let alone ordinary people.
The Zhenbei Army is the elite of the army, and the food needed by the soldiers is more refined than that of ordinary soldiers.
It is naturally not enough to rely solely on Daqian for support.
The northern border is vast and sparsely populated, and most of it is plains with fertile land, so it has become a natural granary for the Zhenbei Army.
Miao Huai introduced these news to Lu Fan with pride, while Lu Fan had a strange look on his face.
Isn't this the military settlement system...
"Who proposed this method?" Lu Fan suppressed his strangeness and asked Miao Huai.
"It was the prince who first proposed it, and it was also the first to be implemented by our Zhenbei Army!"
When answering Lu Fan's question, Miao Huai's face showed an unconcealable pride.
"If it weren't for the strategy proposed by the prince, how could our Zhenbei Army be so prosperous as it is now."
"When was it proposed?" Lu Fan became more and more curious.
"It was proposed by the prince 23 years ago... It's a pity that the prince disappeared after three years of implementing this strategy."
Miao Huai was originally full of pride, but at the end he felt a little lost and nostalgic.
The Zhenbei Army was established by the Zhenbei King. From weak to strong, it has experienced countless battles.
Half of the original northern border was occupied by the Tianwu Dynasty in Mobei.
It was the Zhenbei King who led the Zhenbei Army to drive the Tianwu Dynasty in Mobei out of the northern border bit by bit, regardless of life and death, and drove it to the north of Beimang Mountain.
Because of this, the King of Zhenbei is the patron saint of the northern border and the soul of the Zhenbei Army.
The 300,000 Zhenbei Army can forget anyone, but they will never forget the King of Zhenbei.
Looking at Miao Huai's expression at this moment, Lu Fan suddenly felt a strong curiosity about this fifth uncle whom he had never met.
Just when he wanted to continue asking, the carriage slowly stopped.
"Your Highness, we're here!"
Zhang Qi's voice interrupted Lu Fan's idea of asking, and he could only suppress his curiosity temporarily.
When he walked out of the carriage and saw the scene around him, Lu Fan was shocked.
All he saw were military flags fluttering in the wind and endless military tents.
200,000 Zhenbei Army sounds like just a number, and there is no intuitive feeling.
But after seeing it with his own eyes, Lu Fan deeply realized what shock was.
And what he saw at this moment was only the military flags, military tents and part of the Zhenbei Army.
Compared with Lu Fan's shock, Li Cunxiao's face flushed with excitement, and his body trembled slightly.
This is the place he yearns for the most.
Jiang Shang and Li Si were also extremely shocked, but they soon calmed down.
The two looked at each other tacitly, and both saw the gleam in each other's eyes.
In comparison, Miao Huai and Zhang Qi were much calmer.
As for Lu Wushuang and Wu Wei, it goes without saying that the Zhenxi Army is no worse than the Zhenbei Army, and this scene is naturally not enough to make them excited.
After a moment, Lu Fan took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart.
But his heart was not calm at all.
"Such an elite army must be in the hands of this king no matter what."
His goal is not just the Lord of Daqian, which cannot be achieved by cultivators alone.
"Let's go!"
Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, Lu Fan walked like a dragon and a tiger, and walked straight towards the entrance of Beimang Town in front.
At this moment, dozens of people have gathered at the entrance of Beimang Town, all of whom are core figures of the Zhenbei Army.
The leader is the left general of the Zhenbei Army, Gu Tiefeng!
When Lu Fan led a group of people forward, many core figures of the Zhenbei Army behind Gu Tiefeng also cast their eyes.
Their eyes fell on Li Cunxiao at the first time.
After all, Li Cunxiao's physique is really sturdy and strong, and he will attract people's attention wherever he is.
Peerless warrior!
The first time they saw Li Cunxiao, these four words emerged in their minds.
After their eyes moved away from Li Cunxiao, they saw Lu Fan walking in the front.
Hiss!
Many core figures of the Zhenbei Army took a breath in their hearts, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
"Is this the useless prince who can't practice and has a cowardly personality in the rumors?"
At this moment, not only these core figures of the Zhenbei Army were shocked.
Gu Tiefeng's face also flashed a look of astonishment that was difficult to conceal.
He had met Lu Fan, and he had met him twice, and the two had talked.
But Lu Fan in casual clothes and in military armor did look like two different people.
Just when the Zhenbei Army and others were shocked, Lu Fan and his men had already arrived.
Gu Tiefeng suppressed his surprise and saluted Lu Fan with his fists:
"Zhenbei Army Left General pays respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
When Gu Tiefeng saluted, many core figures of the Zhenbei Army behind him also reacted and quickly knelt on one knee to salute.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Gu Tiefeng is the commander of the Zhenbei Army, so he can choose not to kneel, but they do not have such privileges.
"No need to bow, stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After letting these core figures of the Zhenbei Army stand up, Lu Fan looked at Gu Tiefeng and smiled:
"General Gu, there is no prince today, only the governor of Hanyang County and the left lieutenant of the Zhenbei Army, so these false courtesies are unnecessary."
"In that case, then follow what Your Highness said."
"General Gu, please!"
"Your Highness, please!"
The two greeted each other and walked side by side towards Beimang Town, followed by the others.
As for Lu Wushuang and Wu Wei who followed Lu Fan, they were ignored.
Gu Tiefeng did not know that Lu Wushuang was the Princess of Pingxi, so Lu Fan was too lazy to introduce her.
So Lu Wushuang was ignored.
Lu Wushuang, who was following behind, looked at Lu Fan who was chatting and laughing with Gu Tiefeng, and was immediately angry and gnashed her silver teeth.
But she had no choice at the moment.
After all, Lu Fan had made it clear when he was at the County Magistrate's Mansion, and she dared not disobey.
Before completing the purpose of this trip, she must not be driven away, so she could only swallow her anger.
And Lu Fan would not care about the thoughts of this cheap cousin at all, he wished that Lu Wushuang would leave in anger.
Passing through the entrance archway of Beimang Town, it was considered to be officially entering Beimang Town.
On the way here just now, Lu Fan learned some news about Beimang Town from Miao Huai.
At this moment, Gu Tiefeng introduced the relevant news to Lu Fan again, and Lu Fan also listened patiently and asked a few questions from time to time.
The crowd walked all the way and came directly to the General's Mansion in the center of Beimang Town...
