Flying Clouds in Another World

Liu Feiyun became more and more worried:

The emperor was so eager to launch the Northern Expedition because he was afraid that once he passed away, his sons would fight for the throne and the barbarians in the northern wilderness would take the opportunity to invade. If the sons could not unite to fight the enemy, the entire empire would be turned upside down by the barbarians!

Not to mention, there is also a group of ambitious territorial nobles and aristocratic families who want to take advantage of the situation!

I'm afraid the world is really going to be in chaos!

Then Liu Feiyun made a decision in his mind:

Changluo City is no longer a place to stay for a long time, so taking the opportunity of the expedition to the Northern Wilderness to leave may be the best option.

There is already definite news that for this northern expedition, one division will be drawn from each of the five armies of Changluo to form a temporary Beijing Army as the absolute main force. Presumably, the student camp that the five of us have been ordered to form will also follow the five divisions of the Beijing Army!

And with the Liu family's connections in the military, it would be easy for his student camp to get some care. At least they would never be used as cannon fodder for no reason.

As long as you don't seek death, don't seek merit, don't take risks, and just follow the crowd step by step, there shouldn't be too much danger. By the way, you can also gild yourself, make some contributions, and increase your seniority in the military.

When the Northern Expedition is over, the princes in Changluo City should have come to an end of their dispute. It won’t be too late to make a decision then!

The most important thing right now is to set up a student camp.

The Student Camp, as the name suggests, is a camp composed of military academy students as the backbone and self-recruited personnel. It has a full strength of about 800 people and is a temporary organization.

For the student camp, the imperial court was only responsible for providing some of the most basic weapons and armor, but the recruitment of soldiers and officers' food and wages, as well as the replenishment of missing weapons and supplies, had to be prepared by the organizers themselves.

At first, Liu Feiyun was very confused about the formation of the student camp, but after he learned more about the identities and backgrounds of the other four organizers, his doubts were finally resolved:

These four people are all from prominent families, but none of them is the son of a territorial noble!

Their families were not short of money or martial artists, but they lacked military power. They urgently needed to establish their family's influence in the military.

If the emperor wants to raise a large army to march north, the amount of money, food and supplies required will naturally be astronomical.

However, when these five student camps were formed, the emperor did not spend a penny more except for 400 sets of the most basic weapons and armor for each camp.

Using two thousand sets of basic weapons and armor in stock to exchange for a strong army of at least four thousand people at one's own expense, and also using it to win over those wealthy and powerful families without territories, why not do it!

Liu Feiyun thought he had guessed the emperor's thoughts, so he stopped thinking about it and began to form his own student camp.

The first thing is to recruit students from the Blood Blade Academy.

But Liu Feiyun is not a formal student of the Military Academy, so it is naturally not easy to recruit people from the Military Academy.

It is impossible for these students to be soldiers when they enter the student camp. At least they should be given a captain. There are five columns in a battalion, five teams in a column, plus the battalion's direct team, which means 26 captains and 10 chief and deputy chiefs. In addition, there are the deputy commander of the battalion, the chief and deputy military affairs, the chief and deputy planning officers. Liu Feiyun did not recruit enough of the more than 40 basic positions, and only gathered more than 20 people.

In contrast, the other four people each recruited more than a hundred people, resulting in some students having to become military leaders such as squad leaders and platoon leaders.

In fact, if Liu Feiyun relaxed the recruitment conditions, he could have recruited dozens more people, but Liu Feiyun adhered to the principle of "better to have nothing than to have someone of poor quality" and still strictly controlled the quality.

When no students came to apply for the job for three consecutive days, Liu Feiyun had no choice but to end the recruitment activities at the military academy.

The next step is to recruit ordinary soldiers.

Although they are called ordinary soldiers, they are only ordinary soldiers on the military register. However, the requirements for them are definitely not something that ordinary soldiers can achieve. They must at least reach the level of elite soldiers.

The so-called student camp is actually a sharp soldier camp, just like Liu Feiyun's own Tiger Guards. Even if it is placed among the most elite imperial guards in the empire, it is the elite among the elites, at least on the surface.

!

That night, when Liu Feiyun brought a group of recruited military academy students back to Yunliu Pavilion to discuss the recruitment matters for the next day, an uninvited guest arrived.

"Brother Thanos! Why are you here at night? Is there something urgent that you need my help with?"

Liu Feiyun looked at Thanos, who looked depressed and lost, with surprise, and asked hurriedly.

Thanos forced a smile, looked around at the people around Liu Feiyun and said, "I don't need your help with anything, but I have a few other things to tell you separately!"

"Alone!? Fine then! Brother Thanos, please follow me!"

A moment later, in a hidden dark room in the Yunliu Pavilion garden, Liu Feiyun and Thanos sat facing each other.

"I came to see you tonight for only three things! The first thing is that I heard that you will follow the army to conquer the Northern Wilderness next spring, so I came to remind you not to underestimate the Northern Wilderness Barbarians! You must believe me, the current Northern Wilderness Barbarians are much stronger than you Chen people think! If you are not careful! You Chen people may be defeated in the Northern Wilderness! You yourself may be in danger!"

Thanos solemnly and slowly explained his purpose.

Liu Feiyun was a little unconvinced: "The Northern Wild Barbarians are powerful!? Haha! Brother Thanos, you may not have seen the real elite army of our Great Chen Dynasty! Those garrisons in Changluo City have actually hidden their sharp claws and teeth! You won't see their true strength until the war! Brother Thanos, you are worrying too much!"

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you! As your friend, I can only say this much! The second reason I came here is to give you a magic light crossbow, in case you need it in the future!"

"Magic Light Crossbow!?"

"That's right! I got these two magic crossbows by accident in the Far West! They have helped me escape danger several times. Now I am already a powerful earth-level warrior, and one is enough for self-defense. On the contrary, you have many enemies, and you will follow the army to the Northern Wilderness this time. I am afraid you will encounter many dangers. So I decided to give one of them to you as a gift."

"But! Brother Thanos, since this magic light crossbow is so rare, you should keep it for your own self-defense. How can you give it to me! Brother Thanos, your gift is too generous. I cannot accept it!"

"Brother Liu! You don't have to be polite to me. I hope you can make good use of this crossbow. It will increase your combat power. At the same time, it will be a souvenir of our friendship."

"Memorial!? Brother Thanos, what are you talking about? Are you saying..."

"Yes. You guessed right. I plan to leave Changluo and the East Region tomorrow and return to my distant hometown! I am afraid that we will never see each other again in this life. And this is the third thing I want to tell you tonight!" Thanos said a little lonely at last.
