When Liu Bei led the prisoners and the army back to Shanshan County, Liao Hua had already escorted the prisoners, women and children in Robert's camp back to Shanshan County.

After Liu Bei held the captives in the barracks, he returned to his mansion, and then held a military meeting, which was attended by a group of generals in addition to Jia Xu and Tian Feng, namely: Lü Bu, Zhang Ren, Huang Zhong, Wen Chou, Xu Huang, Liao Hua, Toheti, Muzepal, Dawuti and Sadiq, Robert, Arthur, Li Li and Batur.

Previously, Robert, Arthur, Li Li and Batur had pledged their allegiance to Liu Bei and called Liu Bei the lord!

"The main purpose of this military discussion is to talk about the expansion of the army, the Hundred Battles Army and the Black Flag Army have now expanded to 4,000 cavalry, and at the same time the pro-guard army has been expanded to 3,500 people, and at the same time 7,000 sand bandits have been captured.

More than 1,000 people were cut out, and there were more than 5,000 sand bandits left, and Wen Chou selected 500 elites from them, Han people were given priority, and they were incorporated into the pro-guard army (the most pro-guard army, Liu Bei still believed in the Han people, so the two expansions were Han people first, Hu people, so although the expansion was expanded to 4,000 people, almost all of them were Han people!) ）；

Han Sheng selected 1,500 men to be incorporated into the Longxiang army, which was equipped with crossbows and spears, mainly for long-distance killing, supplemented by close-range combat;

Gongming selected 1,500 people from the captives to be incorporated into the Leopard Tao Army, which was equipped with blunt swords and bows, mainly swords and shields, and assisted by long-range attacks;

The Guards, the Hundred Battles, and the Black Flag were all cavalry, and were all armed with crossbows, broadswords, and halberds;

The remaining more than 1,000 captives will be given a part of the severance pay, let them serve hard labor, and when the three counties are completed, they will be converted into people on the spot, and the women and children who have been rescued will all be transferred to the three county towns to serve as indigenous people after the establishment of the three county towns. ”

After the reorganization of the army was completed, Liu Bei looked at Robert and Arthur, "Robert, Arthur, as a Western talent in the Han Dynasty, I Liu Bei also attaches great importance to it, I want to establish a unit to be responsible for the intelligence work of Western countries, I don't know if you two are willing?" ”

Arthur didn't say anything when he heard Liu Bei's words, and looked at Robert directly, because Arthur has been Robert's servant since he was a child, and he has studied with Robert since he was a child and practiced martial arts together.

And Robert went to churn in his heart at this time, "This Dadu Hu named Liu Bei is really ambitious, originally I just thought that this Liu Bei wanted to dominate in the Western Regions, but now it seems that this is not the case, it is possible to fight to the West in the future, if this is really the case, then my revenge may also be avenged!" But I still need to confirm with him! ”

Thinking of this, Robert said: "My esteemed lord, I actually agree with your arrangement, but I need the lord to promise, in the future in the West, in the case of the lord's absolute strength, I also ask the lord to complete a mission for me, to fulfill a wish of my father and me, if the lord agrees, I will go to serve the lord!" ”

Liu Bei knew as soon as he heard that this Robert was a man with a story, and he was definitely not a merchant who came from the West as the scouts knew before. After thinking about it, Liu Bei agreed: "Yes, as long as it doesn't harm the interests of my big man, I can meet your requirements!" ”

"Alright, my lord, I will take Arthur to establish a complete intelligence system in the hope of Guishan, Rest, and Poison only for you." Robert bowed deeply and said: "But I need the lord to give me the Guishan gold coin bucket that I seized on the price bandit's side this time, I need a lot of gold coins in the early stage of the establishment of the intelligence system, and in the later stage, I am confident that I will be self-sufficient and can also subsidize part of it for the lord!" ”

"Okay, that's the best, there are about sixty thousand gold coins seized this time, I will keep half of them, and I will hand over the remaining half to you after submitting you a detailed plan to me, and at the same time reflect the number of people you need in the plan.

In this way, you begin to form a battalion of foreign guards, and take the meaning of keeping the enemy out of the country! After taking you to make a plan, I will accompany you to select the soldiers in a unified manner, and I will be responsible for all the affairs of the outer guard battalion in the future. Liu Bei thought about it again and decided.

"Li Li and Batur, this time you are captured alive for my generals, can you be convinced?" Liu Bei turned to Li Li and Batur and asked!

"My lord, Li Li admires, a certain ability Chen Liuren, since he was a child, he followed his fellow villagers to run business, and then met the people of the sand bandits who were killed, I was lucky to escape to heaven, and later rescued the leader of Robert to live to get his name, there is an opportunity to serve my big man, what else is there to hesitate? Who is willing to chase the lord to fight on the battlefield and make contributions! Li Li did not hesitate to tell his life experience again, saying that he would be loyal to Liu Bei.

As for Batur, the moment Li Li finished speaking, he called Liu Bei the lord!

Seeing this situation, Liu Bei was quite happy, so he sent the two to replace Gan Ning and Yan Yan. Let these two generals go to defend the city. A fierce general like Gan Ning Yan Yan also needs to take them with him to attack the city and plunder the land.

After arranging all military matters, Liu Bei let everyone disperse, and then trained the soldiers for half a month, and then sent troops to attack on July 10. In fact, this time the reorganized Sand Bandit Combat Department. It's not weak, robbing caravans all year round, most of the sand bandits have seen blood, but the discipline is poor, let the generals reorganize and train each other in order to be able to command these armies like arms in the later stage!

After the generals left, Liu Bei left Tian Feng and Jia Xu, and communicated with the three of them about the entire county, Tian Feng was not idle for two months, and personally went to various counties and districts to investigate.

The whole Shanshan County, Shanguo County is the main iron ore mining area, and the previous Shanguo County iron production is relatively perfect, now Liu Bei has restructured, Tian Feng inspected the iron production scale of Shanguo County to expand, and the county directly established a weapon production institute in Shanguo County, to provide armor and weapons for Liu Bei's army, because Liu Bei expanded the army too fast, now it is mainly in the rush to make knives, guns, swords, halberds, crossbows, arrows and other blades.

At this stage, the soldiers are still mainly based on leather armor, for which Tian Feng specially walked through Wuqiang County, Wuqiang County is mainly the Qiang people in the northwest of the former Han Dynasty, Wuqiang is prolific with fur, Tian Feng simply built a leather armor production institute there, and now it has begun to produce leather armor, and the fur of the entire county is sent to Wuqiang County.

Why did Liu Bei have to wait for twenty days to go on the expedition, one is to train the troops, and the other is to wait for the armament to be in place! After understanding the governance of Shanshan County, Liu Bei sent Tian Feng and Jia Xu back, and before the repatriation, Liu Bei also gave a pair of daughters of the second head of the third sand bandit camp to Tian Feng and Jia Xu respectively.

Tian Feng and Jia Xu have families, and their families are all in Yizhou, so when they arrived in the Western Regions, Liu Bei thought about giving his subordinates a concubine to the civil and military officials who did not have female dependents by their side, so that they could live comfortably. Tian Feng and Jia Xu also have fifty personal guards guarding them at all times!

After explaining everything, Liu Bei suddenly became free, and at this time, Liu Bei put the things he had always wanted to do but didn't have time to do on the agenda. So Liu Bei recruited Liao Hua.

"Yuan Jian, you go and help me find some clay to come back, that is, the kind of clay that burns bricks, by the way, help me find a master carver to come back, I am useful, and the sooner the better, the clay is enough to have a stone!" As soon as Liu Bei saw Liao Hua, he commanded.

After half a day's effort, Liao Hua brought back two people and a stone of clay. So Liu Bei recruited some personal guards. First arrange for the guards to moisten the clay with water, then step on him hard to live into thick mud, and then use firewood to make a small cube mold, put the live thick mud in the mold, flatten and compact. At this time, Cai Yan saw that Liu Bei was having a lot of fun, so he also came over curiously to take a look, and when he saw Cai Yan coming over, Liu Bei asked Cai Yan to copy a copy of the "Analects" on paper.

After the water in the soil in the mold has evaporated, Liu Bei avoided the two carving masters to carve out the words of Cai Yan's transcription of the Analects according to Cai Yan's font one by one.

In the end, Liu Bei personally placed all the characters in a paper-sized frame in the order of the Analects, and then brushed with ink, and then Liu Bei took out a piece of paper and printed it on it, and one by one the fonts instantly jumped on the paper. In just one incense stick, Liu Bei printed and bound ten copies of the Analects.

Cai Yan, who was quietly watching Liu Bei on the side, opened his mouth in surprise!
