Chapter 108: No Time Limit, Advance into the Black Cloud Secret Realm
The battalion commanders of the "Xuanling New Third Regiment" should implement Cao Geng's orders without reservation.
After Cao Geng proposed the suggestion of dividing the troops for development, no one in the "Xuanling New Third Regiment" expressed any objection.
"The method of dividing the troops this time is still to use the battalion as the basic unit. However, unlike the previous 'Yuqing New First Regiment', this time I will divide the troops into the 'Xuanling New Third Regiment', and I will no longer set a time limit!"
Cao Geng declared.
When these words were spoken, all the battalion commanders present were extremely surprised.
This move means that once my "Xuanling New Third Regiment" completes the division of troops, each camp will start a battle of rapid expansion and cultivation without any restraint!
In this way, perhaps at some point in the future, when the camps gather together again, the scale of our "Xuanling New Third Regiment" will reach an astonishing level!
Before everyone's shock subsided, Cao Geng continued slowly:
"In the past, the 'Yuqing New First Regiment' had three battalions, but now my 'Xuanling New Third Regiment' has six battalions!"
"If we adopt the strategy of dividing our forces and developing our group, I think the speed at which our group can recruit monks will be even faster than when we were in the 'Yuqing New Group' period!"
"Even if I don't set a specific time limit for the division and development, it would be unreasonable if the number of cultivators you have absorbed in half a year does not exceed the scale of our past during the 'Yuqing New Group' period."
Facing many battalion commanders, Cao Geng directly stated the strategic plan that had been drawn up long ago. All the battalion commanders nodded and had no objection.
The development of six battalions together will undoubtedly achieve more rapid expansion compared to the three battalions in the past.
Moreover, when they were in the "Yuqing New Group" in the past, the entire group had less than 600 monks.
Looking back at the present, things are completely different now...
The overall size of their Qingyun Third Legion has already exceeded the two thousand mark!
Even if these two thousand men were evenly distributed among the six barracks,
The strength of these six battalions is much greater than the number of monks commanded by each battalion when they were in the First Army of Qingyun.
Under such circumstances, the number of monks in each camp would naturally exceed the number of disciples they recruited during the Qingyun First Legion period.
"What's more, we also need to leave a battalion of elite soldiers to guard Huai'an Lingcheng. After all, there are still many outstanding Taoists who are eager to join our Qingyun Third Army every day! We must not underestimate these fellow Taoists who passively join our Qingyun Third Army!"
In this regard, Cao Geng naturally did not dare to slack off.
After all, expanding outward influence is one thing.
On the other hand, the steady absorption of cultivation talents in Huaian Lingcheng is another side of the story!
just,
In the next period of time,
There are seven teams in total, including the six battalions of the Qingyun First Corps and a guard team led by Cao Geng himself. How many monks can be recruited before the Japanese invaders launch a large-scale sweep? This ultimately depends on God's will.
Cao Geng did not say anything more afterwards.
He immediately ordered his battalion commanders to take action.
It is worth saying that
The Fifth Battalion of the First Army of Qingyun stayed behind in Huaian Lingcheng to recruit disciples.
Because in the previous battle of Xiaweidi Village, the Fifth Battalion of the Third Army of Qingyun, which then belonged to the Fifth Company of the Third Battalion of the First Army of Qingyun, suffered heavy losses when facing the heavy siege of the First Division of the Japanese Army.
Now, it has only been three or four days since that battle.
The former Third Battalion and Fifth Company of the First Qingyun Army has been transferred to the Fifth Battalion of the Third Qingyun Army.
But the negative impact left on the Fifth Battalion by the previous battle still exists.
Therefore, this time,
While the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Third Army of Qingyun had not yet fully recovered, Cao Geng provided them with great convenience, allowing them to recuperate and grow in peace in Huai'an Lingcheng.
Regarding this decision,
Many battalion commanders of the Qingyun First Army had no objection.
With the resolution now finalized,
The division and development plan of Qingyun Third Army also officially kicked off.
Just after Cao Geng and the senior leaders of the Qingyun Third Army under his command had finished discussing the matter,
Then,
The Qingyun Third Army, which was originally bustling in Huai'an Lingcheng,
Peace was restored immediately...
Just as the remaining five battalions of the Qingyun Third Legion left to find their own bases, absorb monks, and strengthen their strength,
Cao Geng, with his escort team of 123 men, quickly left Huaian Ling City. A small group of monks rushed out like a dragon and headed straight for the preset target area.
The purpose remains clear——
It was just like the purpose of Cao Geng and his men when they split up and left the Qingyun First Legion camp.
At that time, the Third Battalion of the First Qingyun Legion chose to develop independently in order to recruit monks for the entire legion.
However now,
They have become the Qingyun Third Legion.
Therefore, in the face of the large-scale sweep that the Japanese invaders were about to launch, Cao Geng naturally needed to do his best to preserve the strength of the Qingyun Third Corps and seek long-term development.
The leader of Cao Geng's protector platoon was none other than Wei Wuji, the man Cao Geng had rescued from the secret trial of Yamamoto Genryusai Shingen. At this moment, he was heading towards the predetermined target, the Dark Mist Valley, with Cao Geng.
Wei Wuji walked up to Cao Geng and asked, "Master, is our destination really the Dark Mist Valley this time?" Prior to this, Cao Geng had confirmed with Wei Wuji and others that all of their platoon of bodyguards would rush to the Dark Mist Valley to launch the operation.
However, in Wei Wuji's opinion, the Dark Mist Valley was just a group of evil cultivators and bandits occupying a place with about 200 people. Why bother their famous Tianjian Sect, with the leader personally leading the army to put up such a grand display? He, Wei Wuji, could easily wipe them out with a small group of disciples. After thinking all the way, Wei Wuji still felt that the move of the Sect Leader Cao Geng was a waste of talent, and he couldn't help but question it with a slightly depressed tone.
Cao Geng glanced at Wei Wuji, his eyes moving over him, "Don't underestimate this Dark Mist Valley! Let me tell you something. When I was still the captain of the Immortal Captain in the Central Immortal Court, I had a close friend whose cultivation was almost the same as yours. He also practiced in the Shaolin Holy Land for nearly ten years and was also a martial arts master. In the end, he lost his life at the hands of these seemingly unknown Dark Mist Valley bandits because he underestimated his enemy."
"I have been worried about this for many years!" Cao Geng continued, "and it is said that the bandits in the Dark Mist Valley have no morals at all! If my friend died in the Dark Mist Valley just because he underestimated the enemy, it would not have anything to do with the survival of the race. But every time the Shenzhou continent is in danger, they not only do not join the fight against the enemy and serve the country, but instead seize the mountaintops and become bandits. What's more, they dare to bully the weak and plunder the spiritual stone resources that our Shenzhou monks need to resist foreign enemies!"
"How can I just leave such a scum gang alone?"
