"The 100,000 taels that Tao Qian compensated, of which 50,000 taels were paid by the Mi family, have been transported to Xiacheng, but Tao Qian is still delaying in every way."

"Tao Qian knows that even if we compensate, we will not let him go, so he will not send us money to strengthen our strength. The Mi family actively raised funds for silver, just to keep the Qu County where his foundation was located. We occupy the three counties of the East China Sea and have threatened Qu County. In order to avoid the destruction of Qu County, Mi Zhu is still willing to spend money to eliminate the disaster......"

After listening to the report of the officials who negotiated with Tao Qian and Mi Zhu, Xia Liang knew why Mi Zhu actively mediated.

Mi Zhu did not want Qu County to be destroyed by the war.

"I heard that the Kwantung princes have withdrawn their troops, why hasn't the lord come back yet......"

After she dealt with these trivial matters, she never received any notice from Chu Tian that she wanted to return to her teacher.

Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang came in with a sword, but her expression was a little strange, and she reported to her about the recruitment and training: "A group of new recruits who have been trained, currently at level 30, with a total of 5,000 people, will be sent to Licheng in the East China Sea Country for garrison. A hundred-person scout team has been deployed in the northern part of Tancheng, and once the Tancheng army goes north, it can be known as soon as possible. ”

"I see."

"There is ......" Li Xiuning wanted to speak and stopped, "the last general will retire." ”

"Wait, I'm going with you to patrol the city defenses."

Xia Liang was worried that Tao Qian would make a comeback, so he followed Li Xiuning out of the lord's mansion.

She noticed that Li Xiuning's expression was a little wrong: "What happened?" ”

"You defend Xia City, and you will make a great contribution."

Chu Tian's voice sounded, Xia Liang's mind was blank, and when he turned his head, Chu Tian leaned on the stone lion next to the lord's mansion, and it turned out that he had already secretly returned to the lord's mansion.

"Lord Lord......"

She finally understood why Li Xiuning was a little strange today, and it was estimated that Li Xiuning was puzzled when she found that Chu Tian, who was the lord, was waiting outside the mansion.

"This is General Li Xiuning?"

Chu Tian knew that female generals were generally more accustomed to calling themselves generals rather than girls.

He glanced at Li Shimin's sister a little, thinking that he had seen Li Shimin not long ago, but now it was good that Li Shimin's sister was actually working under his own power.

The Li family is all open, and Li Xiuning is no exception.

Because Li Xiuning had already worked for Langya Kingdom, Chu Tian did not show greedy eyes, but just wrote down his appearance very indifferently to avoid being unrecognizable in the future.

However, it is impossible not to recognize it, in "Lord", there are female generals with names and surnames who are outstanding.

Li Xiuning was also able to see Langya Xiang and General Fubo up close, a man who has a good reputation in Langya Country.

"Your Excellency, you should give advance notice so that the officials can come and greet you."

Seeing Chutian coming back in the summer, his eyes were the first to be on Li Xiuning, and there was an inexplicable loss in his heart.

"Isn't it just to fight Dong Zhuo and catch a few generals, there is no need to make a big show."

If Dong Zhuo heard Chu Tian say this, he would definitely be so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.

"I want to know everything that happened during this time, the loss of Langya Kingdom, and so on."

The first thing Chu Tian did when he came back was to grasp the situation in Langya Kingdom.

Various account books were transferred, and in the battle with the Cao Bao coalition army, several towns in Langya were looted and suffered heavy losses, with more than 10,000 casualties among soldiers.

However, under the management of the cool summer, the nine towns in Hedong resettled the victims and basically returned to calm.

As for the three counties of the East China Sea Kingdom, because of Li Xiuning's characteristic of "forbidden invasion and plunder" as the main general, the people's morale will not drop greatly when the enemy's city is broken, so the people's hearts of the three counties of the East China Sea Country can be used.

The appointment of Li Xiuning as the main general to invade other people's territory can reduce the work of dealing with the aftermath.

Chu Tian has already learned about Li Xiuning's panel, if he recruits 10,000 women's troops for Li Xiuning, there will be candidates for the generals who will guard the family in the future.

Female generals who participate in the martial arts examination can join the Women's Army as middle and low-level officers.

[Class]: Women's Army

[Rank]: Sixth-order light infantry

[Attack]: 18 [Defense]: 10 [Speed]: 6

[Skill]: Advanced Fen Xun (increases the morale of your own troops), Advanced Shield Array, Advanced Gun Array, Advanced Incentive (can increase the morale of adjacent troops, can only be used once in a battle)

[Characteristics]: Princess Soldier (When Li Xiuning is the main general, Attack +5, Defense +1, Speed +1, Morale Drop Speed -10%)

[Military salary]: 6 taels / month

[Required]: Female

[Training period]: 2 months

[Maximum number]: 10,000

When Chu Tian saw the panel of the Women's Army, he was quite surprised.

The strength of the Women's Army is not high, or even a little low, the attack/defense of the Xiliu Battalion, which is also a sixth-order light infantry, is 19/14, while the Women's Army is only 18/10.

But the Women's Army can always maintain high morale, continue to fight, and can also improve the morale of neighboring troops, which is very practical.

The conditions for recruitment are also very simple, there is a sixth-level infantry battalion and a qualified female soldier.

"You should have ordered Li Xiuning to recruit the Women's Army, right?"

Chu Tian saw that Li Xiuning's women's army recruitment conditions were simple, and he couldn't help but move.

Cavalry recruitment conditions are the most demanding, followed by heavy infantry with good armor, longbowmen with good bows, and light infantry. As for the Women's Army, they can be recruited as long as they have soldiers, and this restriction is simply like a decoration in the same level of troops.

This is Chu Tian's idea, as long as he can pay every month, wouldn't it be easy to recruit a 10,000-strong women's army?

Xia Liang shook his head: "So far, there are only two thousand qualified soldiers. First, many women have a weak physique, and even female players rarely choose to become generals; Second, even if they are physically qualified, few women are willing to join the army, and they have a better way out. ”

These are indeed problems.

For the first time, Chu Tian was troubled by the source of soldiers.

There are millions of people in Langya Country, and only 2,000 women's troops can be recruited.

I'm afraid that I have to fight the whole of Xuzhou to gather 10,000 women's army.

"Two thousand people is enough, I think these two thousand people can defeat 10,000 low-level soldiers, and they can continue to fight."

Chu Tian is very optimistic about the long-lasting high morale of the Women's Army.

With such an army defending the city, using the walls to compensate for the lack of low defense, coupled with the persistently high morale, the besieging side is expected to be quite uncomfortable. Unless the Women's Army is massively killed, it will not destroy their morale at all. The Women's Scout can also boost the morale of neighboring troops, as well as Li Xiuning's motivational trait......

The Datang Li family is really a family.

"Yes. Why did Li Xiuning appear in Xia Cheng? ”

Chu Tian heard about Xia Liang's recruitment of Li Xiuning, and knew that Li Xiuning was most likely a wandering military general like Zhao Yun.

Because a large number of lords died in the early stage, the number of wandering generals is definitely quite a lot. As one of the hundred counties in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the territory of Langya is actually not small, and sometimes there are wandering generals who have lost their lords.

Xia Liang replied: "Li Xiuning's original lord did not have a good relationship with him, and that lord wanted to get into trouble and was killed by Li Xiuning with a sword." ”

“……”

Chu Tian didn't expect that the lord would die so badly.

There's a knife on the head of the color word.

Fortunately, I didn't do anything about Mulan.

Chu Tian couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Li Xiuning is also very fierce, it is estimated that because the original lord was not good, she lost her trust in the male lord, so she chose to be loyal to Xia Liang as a female player.

Out of fear that Li Xiuning would be dissatisfied, he left, so Chu Tian acquiesced to Li Xiuning becoming a retainer in the summer and staying to defend the city in the future.

There are many generals under Chu Tian's command, but someone must stay in Langya to defend the city. In the future, the territory will expand, and there will be more guards who need to stay.

A county must have at least one defender.

"Tao Qian took advantage of my absence to sneak attack Langya Kingdom. When the winter is over, he will go south along the Yihe River and capture Tancheng and Xiapicheng. ”

Chu Tian had already been angered by Tao Qian.

It is said that this coalition was formed by Tao Qian on his own initiative.

Capture Tao Qian, and then lead Xuzhou Mu himself, and then go to the court, even if Dong Zhuo does not approve it, it is impossible.

"General Xu Sheng's injuries have improved, and it is estimated that he will be able to return to his health next month."

"Zang Ba and Sun Guan returned to Dongwu County and Zhuxian to guard against Beihai Kingdom."

"If there is no other command, then the subordinates will retire."

Xia Liang finished reporting the matter and handed over the temporary military power.

"Wait a minute, Shoulangya Kingdom, you have made great contributions, what reward do you want? Fields, houses, and official positions, as long as I can take them out, I can mention them. ”

Chu Tian didn't know how to reward her, she was already the Kaiyang Order, and before Chu Tian got the Xuzhou Mu, she couldn't seal a higher official position.

"If you have to give a reward, then ask the lord to reward your subordinates with a thousand taels of silver."

"Yes."

Although I don't know what Xia Liang wants to do with a thousand taels, but with a thousand taels of silver to defend a huge Langya country, Chu Tian feels that it is a good deal, it is better to say that it is too cost-effective.

Not to mention one thousand taels, in that case, even if it is ten thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels, or five hundred thousand taels, Chu Tian is willing to take it out.

Because there were too many silver taels, Li Xiuning helped Xia Liang move the silver taels back.

There was a light snow outside the lord's mansion, and Li Xiuning found that the summer as the head of the family was a little distracted, and he didn't seem to be excited about getting a thousand taels of silver.

Hot tears fell on the snow, and Li Xiuning asked worriedly, "Family master, are you okay?" ”

Summer Liang rubbed his eyes: "It's just that the snow has fallen in my eyes......"

Military advisor Fang Xuanling came to talk to Chu Tian about things, and happened to see this scene in secret.

As a military advisor, you must not only give advice when marching and fighting, but also have the ability to perceive interpersonal relationships.

When Chu Tian returned to the back hall, he found that the house was much neater, and there was a faint smell of rouge, and he thought he was in the wrong place for a while.

He recruited the personal soldiers of the lord's mansion, and only then did he know that Miss Xia had temporarily lived here during the defense of the city, so that it was convenient to dispatch troops and materials at any time.

The next day, Chu Tian went to check on Xu Sheng's injuries again.

Xu Sheng was seriously injured, and Chu Tian rewarded him and made him recuperate from his injuries.

At the same time, Chutian made an important decision - to expand the Sailor Battalion.

Next, to fight Xuzhou, you can attack Tancheng and Xiapi along the Yi River, and the sailor battalion is used to transport grain, but you don't have to worry about the safety of the grain road.

The sailor battalion originally had a strength of 2,000 men, but it lost a small part in Cao Bao's attack on Langya.

Chutian planned to temporarily expand to 10,000 sailors to facilitate the transportation of grain and to fight for control of the Yi River.

At present, it is a little difficult for Langya to support 10,000 sailor battalions with the strength of a county, but if the entire Xuzhou is defeated, then it can completely feed 10,000 sailor battalions, and there is not much pressure.

The expansion of the army is based on the premise that the war can be won, and the spoils of war and the territory occupied to cover the cost of the expansion.

So the militaristic empire will be committed to expansion, otherwise the economy will collapse very quickly.

All they need to start a war is an excuse, the so-called fuse.

Tao Qian sent Cao Bao to attack the Langya Kingdom, giving Chu Tian a reason to occupy Xuzhou, as long as he avenged the people of the Langya Kingdom who died in battle, he could crusade against Tao Qian.

"Fifteen warships, forty ships, a number of sentinel ships, and a number of grain ships."

After discussing with Xu Sheng, Chu Tian asked people to prepare for the production of ships and the training of new sailors.

By the beginning of spring, the warships will basically be produced, and then the warships can be used to control the Yihe River, and then go south to attack Tancheng and open the gateway to Xiapi.

Xu Sheng's serious injury also reminded Chu Tian that even famous generals could be killed.

Therefore, Chu Tian ordered the generals to minimize the number of times they could charge into battle, and if they could use their forces to consume the opponent, then there was no need to go into battle in person.

"Ding! At the end of the Second Historical Campaign, the Kwantung Princes won, and all the Princes, Lords, and Free Players of the Eastern Princes' Camp will gain +50% of their military merits. You receive a Trait Reward - the S-Rank trait 'Four Worlds and Three Dukes'. ”

Chu Tian was planning with Xu Sheng to expand the water division and received a reminder. Because the second historical battle allows all the princes to fish in troubled waters, the top ten rewards are the same, and they are all random characteristics.

The Fourth and Third Princes......

Chu Tian was very sure that this was the characteristic of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu!

Not long ago, he still held a grudge against Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but now he has obtained their characteristics, creating and making people.

Chu Tian looked at the effect of the "Four Worlds and Three Dukes" feature.

[Name]: The Fourth and Third Princes

[Grade]: S-class characteristics

[Effect]: You and your descendants will both gain the status of a disciple of the family. Family favorability +5%, hero friendship +5%, special talent refuge probability slightly increased, historical hero refuge probability increased very slightly.

This is a trait that has nothing to do with fighting wars, but is used to recruit talents, and it is easy to gain the support of the family.

Yuan Shao, by virtue of his status as the third prince of the fourth world, has obtained a large number of talents, but it is a pity that Yuan Shao does not know how to employ people, which leads to the loss of a large number of talents to Cao Cao's camp.

It can be said that with this characteristic, even if Chu Tian does nothing in Langya Country, there is a very low probability that a hero will come to Chu Tian.

That's the benefit of fame.

It can also increase the attractiveness of the Maison.

Now Chutian is attractive to foreign races, peasant armies, and families......

"The expansion of the Sailor Battalion will be entrusted to the general."

Xu Sheng is still in a state of minor injury, but it does not affect the training, so he handed over the expansion of the water division camp to Xu Sheng, and then went to Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other literati.

He wants to try the effect of his fourth and third dukes.

Chu Tian also lived to become the person he hated the most-a disciple of the family.

Fang Xuanling seems to be from a family. There are also a large number of noble heroes such as Zhang Liang and Xie Xuan in history, and it will not be so difficult to recruit them in the future.
