Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1365 - 19: The Pacification of the Barbarians Begins, the Army Marches, Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate Is Actually Your Man?

But he is one of the vice presidents of the Earth Palace Branch at the Kunyuan Academy. In addition to being the Right Army Governor, he also serves as the Two Prefectures Transfer Officer, responsible for managing the allocation and transportation of military supplies in the Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion—Dayuan Prefecture.

For the Left and Central Army Commanders, as well as the other military corps, military supplies must be obtained through Chen Shijie. Even the Prefecture Captain Ye Yuxong needs to curry favor with Chen Shijie because certain military supplies are only available in the state treasury. Want to use good items? Chen Shijie has to make the effort!

"Spare me, Mr. Chen, please take a seat!" Xia Jing said, bowing intentionally.

"Hahahaha~" There was another burst of laughter around the table.

"Old Chen, I didn't expect you to take on the role of Right Army Governor. With you here, I'm relieved!" Xia Jing said with a smile.

"As you mentioned, there are too many strong individuals in the Great Zhou." Chen Shijie lamented, "People like us can only work within the military district of Zhao Xing's territory."

Pinghai State has only forty-six military districts, with merely over a hundred positions that can be considered as holding significant power.

Then there are the various army generals, for example, Liao Rulong is the general of the Divine Might Army, but this is only considered a peripheral force, and it's difficult to secure combat missions unless war breaks out. There are at least a hundred military units waiting in line ahead!

Therefore, being the general of a peripheral force is considered a second-tier position.

Of course, the position of a major general in the elite Forbidden Army corps has significant influence.

Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, Long Xiao, Zhao Zheng, and Liao Rulong can only exert their influence within the Dayuan Prefecture.

Lu Bang is currently only the Great Agricultural Officer of Ten Suns Cave Heaven, responsible for training new recruits of low grade, which places him even lower in the hierarchy, and he is merely here to meet old acquaintances.

"Where did you come to take up the position from?" Lu Bang asked. He hadn't taught Chen Shijie, and in terms of official rank, his power was less than that of Chen Shijie. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

However, Chen Shijie was very respectful towards Lu Bang, saying: "Mr. Lu, I started from the Kunyuan Academy in Dao Yuan Continent, reported at Pinghai State City first, and then came here to take office."

"I see."

Xia Jing asked with concern: "Old Chen, you came from the State City, do you have any reliable news on when the fight will start? When will the Pacifying Barbarian Battle Merit List be announced?"

Originally, there was no State City in Pinghai State, but it was established in the fifty years of Yuan Shuo; preparations for war began even before the Primordial Qi Tide was confirmed, although only a framework was set up at that time.

It's now the 96th year of Yuan Shuo, and only now are troops being deployed and specific officials appointed.

Everyone knows that the Ping Man War is imminent, but the formal orders have not yet been issued, and Xia Jing is uncertain when it will actually start, as the court keeps everything quite confidential.

"At most three years, maybe sooner." Chen Shijie replied.

Xia Jing nodded, knowing that since the Military Minister of Agriculture Officer is in place, the fight is not far off.

"Mr. Chen, can we start operations now?" Zhao Zheng and Liao Rulong exchanged a glance and spoke up during a pause in the conversation.

The detached force of the Divine Might Army was handed over to Long Xiao as the Central Army Commander, who has over a hundred military units under his command, with the Divine Might Army being one of the main forces.

Certainly, starting operations is simple, as Long Xiao can just issue an order, but it cannot happen without military supplies.

"Where do you want to mobilize?" Chen Shijie looked at Zhao Zheng. Currently, Liao Rulong is the general of the Divine Might Army, but in reality, more decisions are being made by Zhao Zheng because his strength and military capabilities surpass Liao Rulong's.

However, with Liao Rulong not making any mistakes, and Zhao Zheng having no opportunity to advance, this situation has persisted.

Rumble~ Zhao Zheng unfolded a military map and pointed to a location in the middle of the river: "Not far. We just want to adjust the military activity area of the Divine Might Army to the nineteen to twenty-five State Heart Islands near the northern section of Yingyuan Prefecture at the Canglan River."

Both Chen Shijie and Xia Jing looked over and immediately laughed.

Zhao Zheng is quite the clever one.

"You say it's not far, well, indeed it isn't."

"But once the war starts, these river sandbanks become flexible combat zones.

"Once the river rushes, the army goes with the flow, giving you immediate grounds to rush to the front line for attack."

Xia Jing laughed.

"General, my defense area was attacked by the enemy, it's gone now, isn't breaking through a reasonable action?"

"Where isn't a breakthrough?"

"Hiding combat intents from military commanders, haven't you done this before?" Chen Shijie asked with a laugh.

"No, absolutely not!" Zhao Zheng asserted righteously, "Our Divine Might Army absolutely follows the command of our superior."

"Look at you." Xia Jing pointed at Zhao Zheng, "Speaking earnest nonsense without blinking, you really take after your brother, ha."

"Hahahaha~" Long Xiao and the others laughed again.

Zhao Zheng scratched his head shyly.

"Long Xiao is your superior. If he agrees to your mobilization, then proceed. Come for the supplies in three days." Chen Shijie said.

Then he looked at Liao Rulong and Long Xiao, transmitting: "Don't be too reckless, Zhao Xing only has this one brother."

"Understood." Long Xiao and Liao Rulong nodded.

If Zhao Chuanzong could hear at this moment, he would practically be devastated.

Since he split from his family very early and never made a presence, he later even went under an alias to work as a laborer in the army, and both Old Chen and Long Xiao thought Zhao Chuanzong was dead.

But then again, even if Zhao Chuanzong were alive, he still couldn't compare to Zhao Zheng's status.

"I'm planning to transfer Wang Ji and Han Bing to the Dayuan Military Region."

"Lv Yuanwei is also awaiting transfer, and I plan to bring him over."

"Old Chen, I've found someone who seems promising, but transferring him from the Eastern Sea Army Group is troublesome. I plan to have him traverse the transmission envoy route through Chongming-Dragon Abyss-Tianhe-Bright Moon-Anping-Dayuan Prefecture, and finally switch to a military officer, do you think it's feasible?"
