Boom~

I only heard a piercing collision sound, but I saw Lu Chen immediately take two steps back, ?anen ???.? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? Niu Er also took a step back, and then, his big eyes were full of shock, and he said, "The general's strength is so great!" The general was the first to be able to repel me in a one-on-one situation."

Hearing this, Lu Chen shook his arm that was a little numb, and exclaimed, "Sure enough, it is a natural divine power, if a person like you does not join the army, then it will really be intolerable." ”

Speaking of this, he saw Lu Chen looking up at Niu Er, and said very seriously, "Niu Erstunned, listen to the order, from today onwards, General Ben will order you to be the captain of the vanguard and lead a thousand vanguard soldiers and horses!" ”

Hearing this appointment, Niu Er was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy, "I have also become a general, hehe, my mother will definitely be very happy when I know it." By the way, General, who are in charge of me? ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen coughed lightly and said, "Your subordinates haven't been determined yet." However, for now, you first follow Long Yan to learn the basic elements of being a general. It's not so easy to be a general, and you have to learn a little bit about the way of the imperial army."

Hearing such trouble, Niu Er's head was stunned, and he cried and said with a sad face, "General, can you not learn these things?" When I was a child, I went to a private school, but I was beaten by Mr. Teaching because I couldn't learn anything. At that time, I demolished his dilapidated house in a fit of rage. Since then, I haven't learned to read, so now I don't know how to read."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, comforting, "You don't need to know words, you just need to follow General Long and learn some of his experience."

Hearing that he was just following Long Yan to learn his method of managing soldiers, Niu Er was stunned and breathed a sigh of relief. If you really let him learn those scriptures and other things, I'm afraid it will give him a headache than killing him. But now that he's just learning some methods, it's still acceptable to him.

Seeing that Niu Er agreed in a daze, Lu Chen briefly introduced Long Yan next to him. However, looking at his stunned appearance, he probably couldn't remember what Long Yan was good at. I'm afraid that in his mind, he only knows that he has to follow the person in front of him to learn the method of commanding the army.

After handing over Niu Ertun to Longyan, Lu Chen began to plan to build Luzhou City.

Although the team under his command was still in chaos, Lu Chen didn't have time to separate them now. After all, it has been ** days since Lu Chen borrowed troops from Jiannan Jiedu. He had promised to return the more than 10,000 soldiers within fifteen days. Therefore, Lu Chen's right to use these more than 10,000 soldiers is only five or six days.

For the soldiers and horses that cost more than 100,000 gold in exchange, Lu Chen naturally wouldn't return them so easily, so he had to make the best use of them!

Therefore, on the same day, Lu Chen led more than 10,000 soldiers to the confluence of the Tuojiang River and the Wen River. The gap they dug from here before made this river almost flood Luzhou City, and now that Lu Chen has occupied Luzhou City, he naturally wants to erase the flaw of this fatal name.

Moreover, now that Lu Chen still has an army of 10,000 people whose service life is about to expire, he naturally can't miss this opportunity. After destroying the criminals, Lu Chen personally led this army of 10,000 to work as coolies at the junction of the two rivers.

As for the remaining families in Luzhou City, after the battle of the criminal family, most of their hidden strength has been lost, plus there are two major families who have defected to Lu Chen, so now Lu Chen has let Long Yan lead more than 5,000 people, and with those families who support him, he can easily destroy the remaining families.

Lu Chen led more than 10,000 soldiers to the junction of the two rivers, and first raised the embankment. Then he had people dig a river in the north of Luzhou City to the south, until the river was connected to the junction of two rivers in the south of Luzhou City, forming a new river.

In the end, Lu Chen had the newly dug river diverted water to the periphery of Luzhou City, forming a very wide moat.

Only then did Lu Chen's heart breathe a sigh of relief. Now, even if the embankment is broken at the junction of these two rivers, the river water will flow down the river to the small river north of Luzhou City, and will not flood Luzhou City. However, Lu Chen, who had always acted carefully, finally cast a thick earthen wall outside the city.

After seeing this triple insurance, Lu Chen's heart completely let go of this matter.

At the same time, the power of the city's elimination of those major families was basically over. In fact, after the end of the great war of the criminal family, the people of several other families have begun to flee outside the city. After all, they knew very well in their hearts that the complete defeat of that battle meant that they had completely lost the strength to fight against Lu Chen.

When Long Yan led the army to the mansions of this evil family, these mansions had basically become empty shells. Even many family members didn't even have time to take those precious items with them because of the rush of fleeing.

These big families, the heritage accumulated over hundreds of years, have cheapened Lu Chen and them like this. Even if the escapees have been able to take a lot with them, what is left is still a huge fortune.

After Lu Chen came back from outside the city, Long Yan counted the loot captured from several major families and handed it to Lu Chen with a piece of paper. Lu Chen glanced at it roughly, and his eyes lit up immediately. With these properties, he will not have to worry about all kinds of military expenses and city development needs for at least half a year.

After all these things were done, there were still four days before the return of the 10,000-strong army, and Lu Chen immediately let the 10,000-strong army spend a morning repairing the damage caused by the previous siege of Luzhou City.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Chen took out 20,000 taels of silver and distributed it to the 10,000 army. Two taels of silver, for these soldiers stationed in the West Battalion all the year round, it is also a lot of money, especially for ordinary soldiers, it is equivalent to their monthly salary.

After distributing these two taels of silver, their dissatisfaction with Lu Chen finally dissipated.

After seeing the change in the mood of these people, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then he asked the other party's generals to lead the team on their own and return to their western camp. Of course, the food for their return journey was prepared for them by Lu Chen.

After the tens of thousands of people left, Lu Chen began to think about how his army should be distributed.

After this series of battles, Lu Chen's current team has increased from the previous 1,500 city guards to 13,400 people, not counting the private soldiers of the major families who took refuge in him, if these private soldiers are counted, Lu Chen's current strength is more than 20,000.
