In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed since the battle, whether it is the Chengshan military village or the Yaxi county, all the soldiers and civilians are living a relatively normal life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Half a month ago, the Han army suffered great losses, the combined casualties of more than 3,000 people in the navy and army, which made Liu Chen deeply sad, of course, the Warring States was also amazing, rough estimates, the enemy's losses were at least five times that of the Han army, which was already a rare victory, the victory of this battle completely established the absolute hegemony of the Han army in Chengshan Military Port and Yaxi County near two hundred miles.

After the war, it is a reward and a pension, for this, Liu Chen gave full authority to Xiao He to do, he believed that Xiao He could do better, and then from the fifth day, Liu Chen ordered to start recruiting soldiers on a large scale, and set a quota, the sailors should recruit at least more than 6,000 people, and the army should break the 20,000 mark.

"Da Da Da!" More than a dozen knights entered the county seat of Yaxi, and the leader was Liu Chen, and behind him, Guan Ying, Luan Bu and a team of knights followed.

After entering the city, Liu Chen also dismounted and walked, after all, there was a large flow of people in the city, so this could avoid unnecessary trouble, not to mention, Liu Chen now had nothing urgent.

"Baby, yesterday I asked you to go to the various commanders to learn about the recruitment, and you tell me now!" Walking on the road, Liu Chen said very casually.

Hearing this, Guan Ying said softly: "Our army defeated the soldiers of Dongying and Weihai County, which made the prestige of our army high, coupled with the strict military discipline of the soldiers, the people are still very good to our Han army. ”

After a pause, Guan Ying continued: "Commander Meng Tian has recruited two thousand recruits, Commander Li Xin has one thousand eight, and Commander Ding Fu and Commander Chen Ying each have more than 1,500 recruits. As for Guan Yu, the commander recruited the largest number of soldiers, almost three thousand. ”

Hearing this, Liu Chen's face also showed a smile, it took ten days to recruit nearly 9,000 people, such a progress, not bad, the most important thing is that the people are willing to support the Han army, and those young and middle-aged people are willing to take the initiative to join the army, this is the result that Liu Chen wants most.

"Wait for the next order, add another ten days to the recruitment time, after ten days, the recruitment will stop, and then let those commanders come to Yaxi County to see me, well, by the way, Meng Yi from the direction of Qishan can't come." Liu Chen commanded.

"No!" Infantile Command.

When Liu Chen and his party came to the mansion of the county lord of Yaxi County, Xiao He came out of it, hugged his fists and said, "Xiao He has seen the lord!" After the war, Xiao He proposed to call Liu Chen the lord in the future, and no longer become a general, which means that Liu Chen is the lord of the Han army, for this, all the soldiers have no opinion, and Liu Chen also accepted this name.

"Hehe, is there any happy event for Lord Xiao? I had a great laugh! Liu Chen looked at the smile on Xiao He's face and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao He had a smile on his face and said: "The Han army is on the right track, Xiao He is naturally happy, and the happiest thing is that now we have enough money and food, and we have sent the army recruited by the lord!" ”

"Oh? We have a lot of money? But tell me, how much? Liu Chen was a little surprised, and then walked side by side with Xiao He, saying as he walked.

"The establishment of the Han army is mainly to fight against the Dongying people, which makes many people praise us, and many Shenhao people provide money and food to support us, and now the money and food that our Han army has is enough to form an army of 50,000 people and consume the army for half a year." Xiao He replied.

"So much?" Liu Chen's footsteps paused slightly, and then he walked up slowly, and said, "I really haven't seen that there are so many rich people near Yaxi County, but Lord Xiao, if you want to recruit 50,000 people near Yaxi County, it's basically impossible." ”

Liu Chen said this, Xiao He did not refute, because from Yaxi County to Chengshan Military Port, the territory controlled by the Han army has a population of more than 200,000, excluding the old and weak, women and children, at most 40,000 to 50,000 young and middle-aged people, it is impossible for all young and middle-aged people to join the army, so this time to recruit troops, there can be 20,000, Liu Chen will burn high incense.

"You can save a lot of money and food, or you can make weapons and armor, these are all money-burning, oh yes, my lord, you said that I should find a merchant to buy war horses, and I already have eyebrows. You can get 2,000 war horses, but the price is not low, 200 taels of war horses! Xiao He continued.

"Hey, fighting a war is really burning money, there is no choice, buy it, in a short period of time, we basically have no war, mainly training, if we can use this time, we can build a strong cavalry, this is definitely a great thing for our Han army." Liu Chen sighed and said.

The cavalry of the Han army was almost wiped out in this battle, but there were two thousand gold horses, but Liu Chen felt that it was far from enough, so he asked Xiao He to find a merchant to buy war horses, and he wanted to form a fine cavalry, after all, in this era of cold weapons, cavalry is the biggest killer on the battlefield!

"Is there any movement in the direction of Rongcheng?" Liu Chen asked suddenly.

Xiao He was stunned, and then said: "There is no movement for the time being, but the reputation of the Han army must have spread throughout Weihai County now, and the families of Rongcheng who are closest to us will definitely be shocked, and Commander Liu Qi has already paid close attention to that aspect of the matter, and at the same time sent people to infiltrate Rongcheng to help our army advance in the future." ”

Liu Chen's footsteps paused again, looked at Xiao He, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao, thank you so much, if it weren't for Lord Xiao to deal with these things, I would really be too busy." ”

"Well, this is what Xiao He wants to mention to the lord next, the lord should recruit a few more staff, now the diplomacy and internal affairs of the Han army are almost all pressed on my head, and my subordinates are just more than enough and not enough!" Xiao He said with a wry smile.

"I'll pay attention to these, but when the manpower is not in place, I still have to worry more about Lord Xiao, of course, it would be best if Lord Xiao had an introduction!" Liu Chen chuckled, with Xiao He here, he was still very relieved, and in his heart he was secretly glad that he was able to meet Xiao He, otherwise he really couldn't do this alone, after all, he would fight, not necessarily manage!

As Xiao He said, the Han army has achieved such a victory, it has already spread all over Weihai County, and the two main cities of Rushan and Wendeng, which are a little farther away, are nothing, but Rongcheng, which is only more than 400 miles away from Yaxi County, is one by one nervous, after all, the strength shown by the Han army is too strong, and they are afraid that one day the Han army will come to the city!
