The strength of the Mu Ke Cave Lord is very large, but the explosive power is not strong, this point, Guan Xing noticed it at the first time of contact, although he collected some strength, the other party's blade was still damaged.

"Let's change the wooden knife!" Guan Xing took two steps back and looked at the Cave Master Mu Ke, if he was on the battlefield, he could easily kill such an opponent, but this was not a battlefield, and there was no need to fight to the death.

The master of Mu Ke Cave looked at his treasure knife in a daze, and did not change the knife, although most of the barbarians in Nanzhong took the path of one force to ten meetings, but it does not mean that they are stupid, Guan Ping can calmly withdraw at this time without hurting himself, the other party obviously has spare strength, although he also did not exert his full strength, but this kind of superiority, when he really experienced it personally, he could feel it.

Even without the knife, the result would have been the same.

Somewhat lost, the Cave Master Mu Ke couldn't help but ask: "Among the Han people in the Central Plains, there shouldn't be many warriors like Brother Guan, right?" ”

"This ......" Guan Xing didn't know how to answer for a while, telling the truth might hurt the other party's self-esteem, after thinking about it, he changed to a more euphemistic way and said: "Under the tent of Tinghou, Zhang Bao and Zhao Guang are no less martial arts than me, and Wei Yue, Chen Ergou, and Liu Sandao are also good in martial arts, all of them are generals in a hundred battles, in addition, Mrs. Tinghou's martial arts are far superior to ours." ”

As for the masters among the Han people in the Central Plains, you still have to comprehend it yourself, just Liu Bei's side, Guan Xing can't count them.

"Tinghou is really full of talents!" The Cave Master Mu Ke obviously didn't understand what Guan Xing really wanted to express, and said a little distractedly: "Brother Guan, don't worry, since I promised you, there will naturally be no fewer five hundred warriors." ”

"Thank you, Cave Master." Guan Xing looked at the boxes, hugged his fists and said, "The master of the Lao Trouble Cave sent someone to send these to Zhu Ti, and the general will go to other caves in the end." ”

Mu Ke Cave is one of the largest caves in Zhu Ti, and the purpose of Guan Xing's trip is not just Mu Cao Cave.

"I will send someone to escort Brother Guan, after all, many of those people have not received the favor of the Pavilion Marquis, and they may not agree." The Cave Master Mu Ke regained his heroic smile and became a little more enthusiastic.

"Thank you!"

……

Guan Xing's trip is not destined to end in a day or two, but Liu Yi's money came first, and he originally just randomly said a number that he thought the other party could not complete, but what he didn't expect was that he did it.

When did 50 million become so worthless? Not to mention that in this era when barter has resumed in many places, even if it is a future event, 50 million can be regarded as a lot of money, right? Could it be that the wealthy family in Nanzhong is the legendary local tyrant?

"Copper mines, and they mint coins themselves!" Ma Jian was keenly aware of the root of the problem, otherwise there would be no way to explain how there could be so many brand-new five-baht coins in this semi-civilized place?

The complexion is not too good-looking, and it is not a normal thing to mint coins privately in any era.

"If it works, it's good to work." Liu Yi looked at the five-baht money in his hand, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that Guan Xing's harvest on this trip will not be too bad, with these, the bureau of Nanzhong can gradually be revitalized.

Minting coins without permission is a big crime, but in the current situation, this may only be one of the many crimes of the other party, which is not too important, with comparison, it will not be too righteous indignation for this kind of thing, but these coins can solve the urgent need, which is more important for Liu Yi.

"Lu Yuan's matter will be put aside for a while, the current Zhu Ti, this Taishou still has to be respected, but the matter can no longer be interfered with by him, Ji Chang, you temporarily take the position of Juncheng." Liu Yi looked at Ma Jian beside him, Taishou's appointment and dismissal, he didn't say it, this has to be reported to Liu Bei, choose the right person to come and take the position, Lu Yuan will definitely not be able to.

"Whoa!" Ma Liang smiled and nodded, the matter of Zhuti County was handled faster than he imagined, and he stayed in the mountains for more than half a year, but it was not even used for half a month to really solve the problem of Zhuti County, and the rights of the entire Zhuti County were transferred to Liu Yi, and then, at least on the side of Zhuti County, the problem was much simpler.

"The sand table in this area has been made." Liu Yi pointed to the sand table: "But this mountain road is difficult to defend, between the three counties, like a distance of one or two hundred miles, if the troops are divided and fortified, there are not enough soldiers and horses in hand, and even if there is a war, it cannot be rescued in time." ”

"Can a county be abandoned?" Ma Tan groaned.

"Oh?" Liu Yi frowned and asked.

"Although there are three counties in Zhuti, the combined population is not more than 10,000 households." Ma Tan muttered: "As far as I can see, the three counties are at least unnecessary for now, and the population will be concentrated in the two counties, one is suitable for defense, and the other is to concentrate the population, and in the future, Tinghou will develop Nanzhong, which will be faster." ”

When Liu Yi heard this, he was silent for a moment and shook his head: "It's not proper, it's because it will develop in the future, so you can't abolish the county at will!" As for defense, discuss it with the barbarians, but it really won't work, so let's take the initiative. ”

"Take the initiative?" Ma Jian looked at Liu Yi in surprise, this is not quite like Liu Yi's style.

"Well, take the initiative, there is often a problem with childhood?" Liu Yi nodded seriously, looking at Ma Jian with a little unkindness in his eyes, he understood why Ma Jian asked this, this kid doesn't have to think about a serious place, but he came to figure out his own method of using soldiers, which is really hateful.

The three cities are not conducive to defense, and they don't want to give up, so they can only take the initiative to attack and gather the enemy and annihilate them, which is indeed against Liu Yi's style, but no one has said that he must fight to the end, and when facing the rabble, he can be appropriately tough, just like Jingnan back then.

As for why he didn't adopt Ma Tan's suggestion to actively narrow the defensive line...... It's easy to move people over, but it's difficult to move back in the future, there are not many cities in Nanzhong, each of them represents a gathering place for Han people, one point less, and when preparing to assimilate in the future, it will definitely take ten times as much effort as it is now.

"Nope!" Probably feeling the unkindness contained in Liu Yi's eyes, Ma Jian lowered his head, looked at the sand table seriously, and began to change the topic: "But I don't know who Tinghou asked to guard the rear?" ”

"Tanzhi." Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "His three thousand soldiers and horses can't move, let's find the barbarian cave masters from all sides and let them send some soldiers and horses." ”

Other people, Liu Yi is not too relieved, on the contrary, Guan Ping has followed Liu Bei to fight in the south and the north all these years, without the shadow of his father, he has become more and more like a general, and Guan Ping himself is also relatively calm, not like Wei Yan who likes to play with his heartbeat, put it in the rear, very secure, at least don't worry about seeing no one at home when he comes back.

Ma Jian agrees with this point, Guan Ping's reputation is made in Shu, whether it is Guan Pingshou or Liu Yishou, there is no problem, but what worries him is that the people who are brought out are barbarians, can Liu Yi be able to control it?

"Tinghou, the barbarians are unruly and unruly, and they are from different ethnic groups, so it is not easy to integrate." Ma Tan said worriedly.

Liu Yi is a good handsome, he doesn't like to compete for merit, so he can maximize the ability of his subordinate generals, and himself, Liu Yi also has enough strategic vision and an extremely steady and cautious style, it is not easy to defeat, but an army composed of brute soldiers is not just about reconciling the soldiers.

"It's not easy, but it's also neat." Liu Yi nodded and said: "This is the only force we can mobilize now, and the rest of the matter is only to see the move." ”

There are still three hundred elite armor soldiers around him to call, which is also the biggest hole card in Liu Yi's hand now, the well-equipped three hundred armor soldiers, at a critical time, can be one as ten.

"Let Xingguo go to the caves to recruit people tomorrow, only this thousand people are not enough." Liu Yi didn't know why, he suddenly wanted to smoke at this time, and he didn't know if he could find tobacco leaves this year, and he probably didn't know him if he ran into him.

Ma Jian nodded, and was about to say something, but saw Zhang Bao hurriedly come in, and saluted Liu Yi: "Uncle, a group of people came outside, saying that it was from Mu Caodong, who was invited by An Guo to come to help." ”

"Oh?" Liu Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "An Guo has some skills, and he recruited people so quickly." ”

Although 500 people is not much, there are only a few thousand people in Mu Kaodong, and it is quite interesting to be able to send 1,000 soldiers and horses to himself, regardless of the old and young, women and children.

"Why don't you leave this matter to Anguo together?" Ma Jian suggested, come to collect money, and at the same time pull people in, if you divide it twice, it feels a little wrong.

"It's good!" Liu Yi thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, then looked at Zhang Bao and said: "Xingguo, you go to gather barbarian soldiers, step up training during this time, don't slacken, don't worry about the rest, focus on training and platoon!" ”

"Just practice plating?" Zhang Bao said unexpectedly.

"Well, the barbarian soldiers are already good at fighting, and they are trained in formation, so they can be used directly as elites, so let's go." Liu Yi nodded affirmatively, the adult man of the barbarian tribe has good combat effectiveness in itself, but in the war, there is no queue formation to study, in a short period of time, it is impossible to train the formation, but the training queue is relatively simple, it is enough to be able to advance by hearing the drum and retreating by smelling the gold, no matter how much, it will not be effective in a short period of time, it is better to practice these well.
