Chapter 23: The Hundred Thousand Strong Army, Fearsome and Overbearing

  The generals were all like they had been injected with chicken blood, the army of one million, this number, what does it mean, they naturally understood, it seems that Your Majesty really wants to make a big move, these generals thought excitedly in their hearts.

  When Ding Yuan asked if the framework of the 100,000-strong army could be set up, the military generals immediately began to discuss it urgently. This unprecedented situation also made them excited and emotional, all wanting to see what kind of great undertaking the Che Long Guo with a 100,000-strong army would build, and they were the most brilliant and dazzling people in Che Long Guo.

  After a brief discussion, the Minister of War, Ding Yi, stepped forward and said: "I report to Your Majesty that although our current active soldiers are still unable to form an army of 100,000, if we recall retired veterans, I think this number should be sufficient!"

  Listening to Ding Yi's curious words, Ding Yuan immediately stood up and said: "Alright, this matter will be left to you all. I also want you to guarantee that there will be enough generals coming to command the troops. At that time, don't complain about sharing power!"

  "We know our own abilities and dare not overstep our authority!"

  Many generals also have a sense of self-awareness, and the most they can command is 5,000 troops, which is already the limit. If you want to command more, it's beyond their power.

  The morning meeting came to an end, and Wen Wu had already reached an agreement, fully supporting the expansion plan. This naturally made Ding Yuan overjoyed. Although the three kingdoms' generals could not summon too many in a state of war, they could only summon one, but now it was peacetime, so all of them could be summoned out.

  After some thought, Ding Yuan returned to his bedroom, dismissed his attendants, and with a flicker of his mind, he entered the Three Kingdoms game space.

  Gathered the main general, Ding Yuan sat in the position of the governor, and said loudly: "Everyone, this time I gather you all here, it is because there is an important matter to discuss, everything depends on your own will!"

  "Please enter, sir!"

  All the generals stood up and bowed.

  Ding Yuan smiled and said: "Everyone please sit down first, I'll tell you slowly!"

  After all the martial arts generals were seated, Ding Yuan smiled and said: "Everyone should know the real world I'm in, right?"

  Lü Bu said with a hint of frustration: "I heard from Ju Da that it's an incredibly vast world, but I won't be able to go. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been so eager to level up!"

  When Lü Bu said this, all the generals smiled kindly.

  After a while, he finally stopped. Zhang Liao stood up and clasped his fists: "Your Excellency, Liao heard what Ju Da said. Your Excellency was also a monarch in that world, I wonder if it's related to this matter?"

  Ding Yuan sighed inwardly at Zhang Liao's wisdom, and then said: "What Wen Teng said is not wrong. As for this matter, I have come here specifically to ask you all if you are willing to be summoned out and help me complete the great undertaking of Ding?"

  Zhang Liao knelt down on one knee and said: "Liao is willing to go through thick and thin with his lord, without any regrets!"

  Upon hearing Zhang Liao's words, the other generals looked at each other and then stepped forward in unison, kneeling on one knee and saying: "We are willing to serve our lord with the loyalty of a dog or horse!"

  Ding Yuan looked at Zhang Liao with great admiration in his heart: "Indeed, you are Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan! With these words, who can still refuse?"

  "It's a pity that Lü Bu can't be summoned, otherwise, with Zhang Liao as the invincible commander and Lü Bu as the peerless fierce general, they could conquer Shixing Mountain Valley in no time!"

  Ding Yuan summoned ten generals and said with some regret.

  However, the rules of this Three Kingdoms game space are like this. You can't summon a general with a higher level than him, which is an iron rule. When going to war, you can only summon one general. This rule doesn't matter, as long as you summon in advance, it's fine.

  Moreover, after studying in many ways, Ding Yuan found that the summoned generals in their own city of Che Long City can slowly recover their life value and internal force value. This is good news, but the recovery speed is quite slow, requiring two days to recover one point of life value and internal force value each time.

  Ten martial arts generals, Zhang Liao's strength is unknown equivalent to the current level, but Xiang Lang's 46-point martial arts value is equivalent to the standard of a five-star warrior in reality, while Zhang Liao's martial arts value has reached the terrifying number of 108 points, which is also not low.

  In the following days, the civil and military officials of Cheolong were busy setting up the military framework, while the three-state generals under Ding Yuan's command were learning about the military system and culture of this world. Among them, Zhang Liao was the most diligent, not only studying these things but also checking on the situation and intelligence of neighboring countries to prepare for Ding Yuan's great cause.

  A month later, Ding Yi, the Minister of War, finally came to pay his respects to Ding Yuan.

  In the study, along with Ding Yi, there were also Wen Sihai and Wen Daxia. These two are now considered to be the top civil and military officials of Che Long Guo. The two came together, also in order to let Ding Yuan understand everything clearly.

  Ding Yi and Wen Si Hai took their seats, then Ding Yuan said: "It's been a month of hard work, the recruitment of the great army is complete, you two have worked hard!"

  The two ministers naturally did not dare to take credit, and said: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. It's the result of all the ministers working together. We just played a small part in it, and can't be considered as having worked hard!"

  "Hmm!"

  Ding Yuan nodded and said: "So, you two have come this time, I wonder what business do you have?"

  Wen Si Hai and Ding Yi exchanged a glance. Ding Yi stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, the recruitment of the great army has been completed, and they are currently undergoing training. This... this unknown general you mentioned who will lead the troops, is there any news about him?"

  Ding Yuan looked at the two men who were quite tense, and initially wanted to tease them a bit. But then he thought that it would be unbecoming of an emperor's demeanor, so he said: "You two can rest assured, the commander-in-chief has already arrived, and after the army is well-trained, there will be someone to receive you. You two can rest assured!"

  When Ding Yuan said this, although the two believed him, they had not seen anyone before, so naturally they were not confident in their hearts and looked worried on their faces.

  Ding Yuan smiled and said: "If you two don't believe me, I can call all the generals to come forth, and you two can see for yourselves!"

  "Your Majesty, we believe in you!"

  The two people's thoughts were exposed by Ding Yuan, and they felt a bit embarrassed.

  But though they say so with their mouths, there is still a look of expectation on their faces.

  Ding Yuan smiled and said: "Let's meet again next time!"

  After finishing speaking, Ding Yuan suddenly had an idea and borrowed the Three Kingdoms game space to let the three kingdoms generals come!

  Four of the Three Kingdoms generals and six of the Three Kingdoms dragon suit generals were not far from the upper book house, in a moment, all ten generals arrived.

  Among the ten, the lowest are three-star warriors. Zhang Liao is unfathomable, and even Cai Mao is a rare great general. As soon as they entered, Ding Yi and Wen Si Hai couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts: "These ten generals are really impressive, I don't know where Your Majesty found them!"

  Xiang Lang was someone they had met before, but this time, they discovered that Xiang Lang, a five-star general, couldn't even rank among the top ten. At least three people were much stronger than him, giving off an unfathomable aura.

  The ten marshals of Shu came forward together and bowed: "Your subordinate officials pay their respects to Your Excellency!"

  "Master?"

  Ding Yi and Wen Si Hai did not know what 'master' meant, but judging from his appearance, he was very respectful to Ding Yuan, which also made the doubts in their hearts disappear.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, please rise!"

  Ding Yuan saw Wen Si Hai and Ding Yi looking at the Three Kingdoms generals with a shocking expression, and he was secretly pleased in his heart. However, on the surface, he remained calm and composed, giving off an air of a true monarch.

  After all the Shu generals had taken their seats, Ding Yuan smiled and said: "You two elderly gentlemen, take a look at these several generals!"

  Ding Yit thought for a moment and said: "All of you generals are heroes of the time, but with an army of 100,000, can these ten generals be controlled?"

  Looking at Ding Yi's puzzled expression, Ding Yuan proudly pointed to Zhang Liao and said: "This is General Zhang Liao. Let alone a hundred thousand troops, even if it were two hundred thousand, he can command them!"

  "Your Excellency is overpraising!"

  Zhang Liao smiled slightly and said humbly.

  "Could this person really have such talent?"

  Wen Si Hai and Ding Yi were both shocked in their hearts.

  To know that in this world, although warriors are the most important talents, those who can command them are even more important. A general who can command a large army of 100,000 is something that small countries like China have never heard of before.

  "Could it be that this general was summoned by Your Majesty from a distant land?"

  The two of them had this idea rising in their minds at the same time.

  A large country has a population of at least hundreds of millions, with an area of billions of square kilometers. It's not something that small countries can imagine. Its strength is several hundred times that of small countries, and it's not even on the same level. No wonder these two people were so surprised.

  Ding Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If the two of you still have doubts, that's okay. Let's go to the military camp together and let General Zhang Liao command the 100,000-strong army in battle. You can see it clearly for yourselves!"

  At this moment, Ding Yuan stood up and said without a doubt.

  …………

  In the western suburbs of Cheolong City, there is a huge military camp, which is the gathering place for the 100,000-strong army. However, this is not the entire 100,000-strong army, but rather 80,000, with the remaining 20,000 troops distributed in Cheolong City and ten towns to safeguard security across Cheolong Country.

  Once a person has experienced ten thousand things, they become boundless and infinite. On the school grounds, eighty thousand troops gathered, truly like clouds covering the sky and blocking out the sun, making people feel excited just by looking at it.

  Ding Yuan and others went up to the platform and sat down, then someone took over the military flag and handed it to Zhang Liao.

  Zhang Liao at this time, also did not show humility, directly stood up and took over the military flag. His whole demeanor changed in an instant, giving people a sense of admiration and willingness to follow his command.

  Ding Yuan and all the generals and ministers looked at Zhang Liao, expecting to see if he could command the 80,000-strong army with ease. This was really something to look forward to.

  "With tens of thousands of troops at your command, you can lead them to victory. Having led tens of thousands of troops for years in the north to fight against foreign tribes, Zhang Liao, show this world what a Three Kingdoms warrior is capable of!"

  Ding Yuan's heart was excited and thrilled as he thought to himself.

  Everyone held their breath at this moment, watching how this powerful general would command his army of 800,000!

  At this moment, Zhang Liao's army flag moved, and the 800,000-strong army also followed the movement of the military flag...
