Chapter 132: Preparation

"I'll talk about this later......"

Chu Tian arranged a list of those left behind, and left an army of 3,700 people to garrison Xia City.

He planned to lead 500 light cavalry, 700 shooting battalions, and 800 fine willow battalions to participate in the battle of Anshi City, all of which were the elite of Xia Cheng.

Chutian also left a three-month construction plan for Xia City. Although Chu Tian was not in Xia City, Xia City still had to continue to develop into a medium-sized city.

Upgrading to a medium-sized city requires a population of 160,000, which will not be achieved for a while and a half, and the reward is already less than that of the world's first city.

"After the wheat harvest is completed in early July, tens of thousands of acres of new fields will be opened up to prepare for planting in October...... The scale of gold and iron mining in Shangbi Town should also be expanded, and 2,000 people should be relocated from Jiuzhen in Hedong to Shangbi Town for mining. Because of its proximity to the eastern hills, there are fourth-level forest resources nearby, and a fourth-level lumber yard and timber processing workshop can be built in the local area. ”

As the lord, Chu Tian tried his best to explain the construction plan for the next three months to ensure that the territory could develop normally in his absence.

"Your Lord."

Summer cool knocks on the door to come in.

"I just have something to explain to you, you and Li Kui and Liu Sandao stayed in Xiacheng for three months. During this time, we should pay special attention to the movements of Yangdu County, Tan County, and Taishan County. In addition, during this period, qualified village warriors were selected, and at the end of September, 500 infantry of the Xiaoliu Battalion and 500 archers of the Archery Battalion were recruited. Their recruitment cycle is one month, and just after I came back in October, the recruited Hosoliu Battalion and the Shooting Sound Battalion can replenish the losses. ”

"Liu Sandao is in charge of the military, Li Kui is in charge of administration, and you are in charge of finance, just three checks and balances...... Continued trade ...... with Mijia"

"Although the Battle Spirit Guild in Yangdu County is dead, we must prevent them from making a comeback. If necessary, you can discuss with Li Kui, and you can let Liu Sandao lead his troops to pacify some small lords nearby. ”

Chu Tian had already summoned Li Kui and Liu Sandao before, and ordered them separately, but the most worrying thing for him was that it was cool in the summer, what she needed to deal with was the relationship between Xia Cheng and the player, and at the same time monitor the movements of nearby players for Chu Tian.

"Hmm."

Summer Liang wrote down Chu Tian's orders one by one.

It took Chu Tian an hour to finish explaining what he had to do in the summer.

"You can go down."

Chutian planned to recall Zhou Yafu from the nine towns in Hedong, and the people's morale and law and order in the nine towns in Hedong have basically returned to normal levels.

It was cool in the summer and I didn't move.

"Do you have anything else to report?"

Chu Tian still knew a few important subordinates very well, and he could detect some abnormalities.

Chu Tian, who was sorting out the paperwork, looked up at Xia Liang, but saw that her breathing was a little short, and her tone was a little trembling.

"Tonight...... I can...... Can stay in ...... Lord's Palace......"

"What the hell is going on?"

Chu Tian was puzzled.

Xia Liang saw Chu Tian's confused face, and couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't you instruct Fang Xuanling to tell me?" ”

"Fang Xuanling?"

Chu Tian finally understood, most of it was Fang Xuanling who made his own decision and knocked on the side of the summer cool, making her think that Chu Tian wanted her to "guarantee her loyalty".

"No matter what Fang Xuanling said to you, I have always used people without suspicion, and I don't need to use suspicious people. My choice to make you one of the three people who stay in Summer City is my trust in you. And I'm not going to gain the loyalty of my men this way. ”

Chu Tian Zhenzhen had words.

It is estimated that in Fang Xuanling's opinion, in order to expand his power, it is nothing for the lord to accept a woman casually. In ancient times, in order to survive, expand, and gain the support of nobles, it was not uncommon for various forces to marry, let alone just a subordinate.

In ancient times, the choice of marriage was just a tool, and behind it was the trade-off of power competition.

Summer Liang muttered quietly: "If it were someone else, I wouldn't want to......"

"Anything else?"

"Nope."

In the summer, Liang cleaned up his mood and left with the paperwork in his hand.

Hua Mulan was standing outside the door waiting to be received, and when she saw Xia Liang's steps coming out in a hurry, she said curiously: "Sister Xia, does the lord blame you?" ”

Xia Liang didn't expect Mulan to wait outside, so he had to pretend to be calm: "Sister Mulan, things are not as ...... as you imagined"

Chutian was writing a military order to summon Zhou Yafu back, when Mulan knocked on the door to meet him.

"Lord, what happened to Miss Xia just now?"

"Cavalry training?"

Chutian hurriedly changed the topic to avoid Mulan's bad learning.

Sure enough, after mentioning the matter of military training, Mulan reported seriously: "Five hundred of the best cavalry are ready." ”

Chu Tian is still very satisfied with Mulan, and at present, Mulan's loyalty has reached an astonishing 92, and her favorability is 81, and she can fight and watch.

It's just that Chu Tian saw that Hua Mulan was either wearing iron armor, cloth armor, leather armor, basically the outfit of a military general, and rarely saw a long skirt: "The cloth I gave you in Luoyang last time, you can find a tailor when you have time." ”

Mulan's answer was crisp and neat: "The outfit is more flexible now." ”

"Changing your outfit once in a while may lead to a new experience."

Chu Tian instilled some strange thoughts into Mulan.

"Yes."

After Hua Mulan agreed, she reported to Chutian on the equipment of the cavalry.

Xia Cheng has a special warmaker to create weapons for soldiers.

The first-order light cavalry is equipped with a bronze ring-headed sword, a longbow or crossbow, and leather armor.

The second-order elite light cavalry was better treated, and they were better equipped with better weapons, generally armed with silver-level swords, longbows, and armor, as well as short spears that could be thrown.

Hua Mulan concluded: "Among them, there were 347 first-order light cavalry and 153 second-order light cavalry. ”

It's not that Chu Tian doesn't want to form a higher-level cavalry unit, the problem is that there is a lack of good war horses.

The second-level pasture in Lingyan Town can raise war horses, and it is also necessary to have good horses as stallions.

Chu Tian considered buying a war horse from the lord of the Biansai.

Especially in the Liangzhou horse seen in Luoyang, Chutian and Hua Mulan were blushing.

"In this campaign, my legion has lords from Liaoxi and Bingzhou, so it doesn't matter if our cavalry is not strong. When the time comes, borrow them a troop of cavalry. They should gladly lend me the cavalry. ”

There is a cavalry hero Mulan on Chutian's side, who lacks cavalry above the third order, so he can only deceive the cavalry of other lords.

In order to obtain Mulan's bonus, most of the other lords would agree to lend the cavalry to Chutian, because the military merits of the cavalry belonged to their lords.

"Go down."

Chutian sent Mulan down.

"What kind of dress does the lord think is good-looking?"

Before Mulan retreated, she asked thoughtlessly.

"You can go and ask Miss Xia's opinion."

Chu Tian found that Hua Mulan was finally a little enlightened, unlike before, she had been silent.

The next step is to transfer Zhou Yafu back for final preparations.

Hua Mulan returned to her residence, hugged the cloth given to her by Chu Tian, and really went to the tailor and asked to change it into a long skirt.
