Chapter 612 Max Level Charm
"This is precisely why the imperial court is wary of Northern Liang!"

Looking at the spirited Northern Liang soldiers ahead, Han Shengxuan said with a hint of helplessness.

In terms of combat effectiveness alone, the soldiers under the command of the royal family were no better than the Northern Liang army, and because the royal family controlled the world, their equipment was even better.

The Li Yang Dynasty now unifies the world, with a total of nineteen provinces. Excluding the three provinces of Bei Liang, there are sixteen provinces left. At the same time, the three provinces of Bei Liang are the three most barren provinces, far behind the other provinces in terms of economy and population!

Although Beiliang has 300,000 soldiers, the remaining sixteen prefectures have nearly a million standing troops, and their population and economy are ten times that of Beiliang. They can wear Beiliang down simply by attrition.

But why is everyone inside and outside the court so afraid of Bei Liang? Xu Xiao even dares to openly act as Sima Yi.
It's all because these Northern Liang soldiers are abnormal!

The soldiers in this world have become fearless because of the cultivation techniques they have practiced, but even if they are not afraid of death, they still have intelligence.

The imperial court needs to maintain an army, and if you want soldiers to fight to the death, you must treat them well enough. You have to meet the soldiers' living needs and also give their families certain preferential treatment. Only in this way can you ensure that the soldiers will not turn against you.

But these problems were not problems at all in Northern Liang!
The three prefectures of Beiliang have a total of just over one million households. It has been almost thirty years since Xu Xiao raised his army. The Beiliang army has maintained a strength of 300,000, but during the conquest of Chu, the Beiliang army was wiped out. It can be said that Beiliang has mobilized at least 600,000 people to serve under Xu Xiao.

More than one million households, 600,000 soldiers!
What is this concept?
It can be said that every family in Beiliang was a military family, and every household was filled with martyrs. Almost everyone in Beiliang who was still alive had risked their lives for the Xu family.

But what about the Xu family's actions in Northern Liang over the years?

Nine out of ten of the wet nurses that Guang Chu Lushan tortured and killed every year were family members of Beiliang soldiers, or at least their sisters and relatives.

Moreover, it wasn't just Chu Lushan; the higher-ups of Beiliang generally didn't regard these people as human beings. This led to the Crown Prince, who loved his people like his own children, harshly scolding his subordinates after learning of this.

Logically speaking, it would be one thing if he joined the army and died for the Xu family, but his family suffered all kinds of abuse in Beiliang. If it were an era of warlordism and division, where everyone was competing to be the worst, it would be one thing. But now the world is unified and the four seas are rising. Not to mention other places, the living standards of the people under Zhao Heng's rule in Qingzhou are rising rapidly, and they are not even in the same league as those in Beiliang.

Under these circumstances, the people of Beiliang actually regarded the Xu family father and son as the sun in their hearts, and they were always happy to be abused, which made everyone feel confused!

You just killed two thousand Northern Liang soldiers, but Xu Xiao can easily raise another twenty thousand reckless soldiers in Northern Liang with a single shout. That's what makes Xu Xiao so terrifying.

The Western Chu was literally worn down by the Northern Liang's overwhelming human wave tactics. On paper, the Western Chu's national strength should have been superior to the Northern Liang's. However, after the two sides fought, the Western Chu army was severely weakened, and the Northern Liang's 300,000-strong army was wiped out. Under such circumstances, both sides should have had to go back to lick their wounds and wait for ten or eight years before they had the resources to continue fighting.

As a result, Xu Xiao simply returned to Beiliang and issued a call for soldiers. In less than half a month, he led 300,000 menacing soldiers to the front line of the battle. Even the Zerg's mother hive didn't deploy troops this quickly!
And so Western Chu was worn down and died, in a muddled and inexplicable way!

Not to mention Western Chu, even the Emperor of Liyang still can't figure out what Xu Xiao's abilities are that make the people of Northern Liang support him like madmen.
"So you killed Xu Xiao's wife?"

After listening to Han Shengxuan's account, Li Qingyuan asked with a hint of curiosity, "At the time, we all thought that Wu Su, as a transcendent sword immortal, should have the ability to bewitch people, so we intercepted and killed her. However, we never expected that she could actually break through by force!"

Xu Fengnian complains all day long about his miserable life because his mother died. But in reality, although his mother was besieged by Han Shengxuan and a group of experts, she was only injured and did not die. The real cause of death was that after being injured, she had sex with Xu Xiao and became pregnant. Then, during childbirth, she had a difficult labor, which caused her old injury to relapse and she died.

So, in reality, it was Xu Xiao who caused his mother, Wu Su, to die from the sun.
"So it must be Xu Xiao's own ability? Or it could be Xu Fengnian's ability?"

Originally, Li Qingyuan thought he could easily deal with Xu Fengnian, because according to the timeline, Xu Fengnian had only just obtained his internal energy and his strength was at most a second-grade, the kind of person who could be killed with a single slap.

But now, hearing what Han Shengxuan said, and considering the strange behavior of those Xiliang soldiers earlier, Li Qingyuan felt it was better to play it safe.

Because it seems that Xu Fengnian is some kind of reincarnation of Zhenwu? He belongs to one of the Four Emperors of Heaven, and he came down to the mortal world just to have fun!
Those seemingly incomprehensible maneuvers can actually be understood by viewing them from a player's perspective.

As for the players, they can do whatever they want!
It seems that when faced with a real life-or-death crisis, this guy will immediately log in and play for someone else?
Li Qingyuan hesitated because he wasn't sure if Xu Fengnian would suddenly log in!

Unfortunately, the original plot was too disgusting, and he couldn't continue watching it. He ended up watching various explanations and didn't understand the specific process.

"Xu Fengnian? No way? How old was he back then?"

Han Shengxuan thought the other party was joking. Xu Xiao started his career before Xu Fengnian even existed. Even when he destroyed Chu, Xu Fengnian was only six or seven years old!
What can a six or seven-year-old child do?
"Old Han! Do me a favor!"

Originally, Li Qingyuan planned to use harassment tactics to kill all 20,000 Northern Liang soldiers, and then capture Xu Fengnian and turn him into a human pig.

But now that I think about it, it's not very safe. First, this kid might just go for a dump, and second, turning him into a human pig so quickly will make the plot feel weak later on.

Pshaw! You misspoke!
"This old servant is naturally more than willing to help, but shouldn't Your Excellency treat people with sincerity?"

Han Shengxuan adopted a very humble attitude, and you couldn't tell at all that this guy was actually one of the Three Demons of the Spring and Autumn Period, on par with Xu Xiao!

"What, you want to know my real identity!"

"Since Your Majesty intends to have this old servant do the work, shouldn't there be at least some basic trust between us?"

Han Shengxuan bowed and raised his head, speaking in a respectful tone.
