"Congratulations to the county lieutenant of Kaiyang!"

Some large families in Xia Town gathered, and officials from Lingyan Town, Yunlai Town, Shangbi Village and other vassal villages and towns came to celebrate.

Their lord no longer has the title of self-proclaimed mayor, but is a serious Kaiyang county lieutenant canonized by the Han court.

Chutian officially became the head snake of Kaiyang County, Langya State.

Zhou Yafu, Hua Mulan, Liu Sandao and other heroes were promoted by Chutian again and rewarded with farmland and houses.

All the soldiers who survived the first battle with Chutian were ordered to write down their exploits.

Although Chu Tian had not yet implemented the military merit system in Xia Zhen because of his small official position and power, Chu Tian had already realized how important it was to record military merits to boost morale.

Military merit is an honor for a soldier, and sometimes it is more important than life.

The Spartans even took pride in dying in battle.

For the record of military merits, it is equivalent to each soldier having a file. Soldiers who are brave in battle are more likely to be promoted and rewarded with money and food. And the family will be proud of them.

For the more than 200 soldiers who died in the first historical battle, Chutian reduced the taxes of their families, issued pensions, and visited their homes to stabilize the people's hearts.

In order to celebrate becoming the lieutenant of Kaiyang County, the lord's mansion slaughtered pigs and sheep.

Where there are people, there are classes, and Xia Zhen has gradually formed some large households, which are qualified to participate in the banquets held by the lord's mansion.

Some of the big families were originally just commoners in Xia Town, and they realized the class transformation with their own minds.

A small caravan stationed in Xia Town, a wealthy merchant from Xuzhou, also sent people to the banquet.

If Chu Tian was just a lord who was not famous, the Mi family would not even take the initiative to deal with it.

However, after Chutian became a county lieutenant, there was also some value in making friends.

In ancient times, the status of merchants was always not high, and as a businessman, it would never be wrong to make friends with high-ranking officials in the world and princes in troubled times.

The Mi family has been a merchant for generations, and the family background is very thick, although it lacks political status, but it is wealthy, and there are dozens of people sent to the banquet by a small caravan.

"Master, the lord of Xia Town was canonized as the lieutenant of Kaiyang County by the imperial court because of his meritorious service in the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army."

A servant respectfully introduced the situation of Xia Zhen to the master headed by the Mi family.

"What credit did he make?"

"Kill Zhang Liang, one of the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, and lead the Julu Han Army to capture Guangzong City."

The master of the Mi family was shocked: "This is a great achievement, not just canonizing a county lieutenant, even if it is not too much to seal the Kaiyang order." ”

"Exactly. It may be that he chose other rewards, so he was only canonized as Kaiyang Lieutenant. ”

Dozens of people from the Mi family went to the banquet, and the big families in Xia Town got up one after another.

Although the big family in Xia Town is a figure with a face in the town, compared with the Mi family, who even has servants and diners, it is like a small squire meeting the richest man in Xuzhou.

Chu Tian now has an official position and military exploits, but he doesn't need to be afraid of the Mi family's momentum.

Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, is set to work as a chauffeur under the state assassin Shi Taoqian.

The state assassin is not a driver, and his status is definitely higher than that of a county lieutenant.

If Mi Zhu came in person, Chu Tian would still try to curry favor with Mi Zhu.

Chu Tian looked at the person led by the Mi family, who was not very old and slightly burly, which was different from Mi Zhu's impression of being weak.

"Don't know your name?"

Chu Tian had the opportunity to catch up with the Mi family, but he couldn't ask for it.

"In Xia Mifang, Zifang, a native of Qu County, Donghai, is now serving as a lieutenant under the account of Lord Assassin Shi."

The person who arrived was not Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, but his brother Mi Fang!

Mi Fang.......

Chutian still remembered that when Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes and attacked Guan Yu's rear, Dr. Ren and Mi Fang, who had a bad relationship with Guan Yu, surrendered successively, causing Lü Meng to take Jingzhou at a very small price.

Later generations and contemporary people think that Mi Fang is a second or five boy, and in fact it is true. Of course, Guan Yu's arrogance is also somewhat responsible, saying that after the battle, he will kill Mi Fang and Dr. Ren who are guarding the rear, which increases the possibility of their rebellion......

In any case, the current Mi Fang has the value of use.

"Captain Midu, please take a seat."

Chutian invited Mi Fang to a table with him.

Those who are qualified to be at the table with Chutian are the core figures of Xia Zhen, Hua Mulan, Zhou Yafu, Fang Xuanling, Li Kui, and the earliest batch of officials.

Mi Fang looked at the county lieutenant of Kaiyang with her spare eyes. To be honest, he didn't think that Chu Tian, who seemed to be weak in force, could kill Zhang Liang.

So he asked tentatively: "I heard that Kaiyang Wei killed Zhang Liang and captured Guangzong County, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"These are the achievements of my subordinates, who have taken the lead and fought bravely to achieve such great achievements."

Chutian publicly praised Zhou Yafu and Mulan, which made the favorability of the latter two slightly increase.

"I'm not as talented as my brother in business, but I still have some confidence in my martial arts, I don't know if I can compete with the person who killed Zhang Liang?"

Mi Fang was eager to try, looked at Zhou Yafu, and thought that Zhou Yafu personally killed Zhang Liang in the chaos.

"Ahem, it was another general who killed Zhang Liang."

Chu Tian personally reminded.

Mi Fang wants to fight with Hua Mulan alone, but it's not Chu Tianchuan, now that the force has grown to 89, Hua Mulan can beat Mi Fang and even his brother Mi Zhu can't recognize it.

Players who are familiar with the game of the Three Kingdoms can basically judge the peak strength of the generals of the Three Kingdoms, Mi Fang because of his betrayal of Shu Han, and there is no record that can be used, the attribute has not been high, and the force should be more than 60.

Chu Tian knew the force of Mi Fang and Hua Mulan, but Mi Fang didn't know the force of Mulan, and he was still eager to try.

Mi Fang wanted to indirectly know through Hua Mulan who had the highest force between him and Zhang Liang.

Mulan also agreed to go head-to-head.

"I don't know why Brother Mi came to Xia Town?"

Chu Tian asked Mi Fang's origin again.

Mi Fang should be in Xiapi or Donghai Country at this time.

"To tell you the truth, a powerful water bandit has recently appeared in the Yi River, called 'Liangshanbo', who plundered ships from Picheng to Langya City, and a lot of our Mi family's goods have fallen into the hands of this water bandit. This time, I came to Langya City in Kaiyang County in order to contact Zang Ba, the commander of the cavalry, and raise troops to exterminate this water bandit. ”

Chu Tian was stunned.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were water bandits who claimed to be Liangshanbo?

What's more, this is not Liangshan at all, but Yihe!

Then there is only one possibility. This water bandit is inextricably linked to the player, so it will take such a strange name.

Although Chu Tian was quite shocked in his heart, he still asked calmly on the surface: "Has Zang Ba already accepted it and sent troops to exterminate Liang Shanbo?" ”

"Zang Ba asked me for a large amount of gold and silver, so he was willing to send troops to exterminate Liangshanbo. The elder brother manages all the money in the family, so he must go back and consult with his brother. ”

"Why don't you ask Lord Thorn for troops?"

"Lord Assassin Shi is guarding against the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, although Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang are dead, Zhang Bao is still alive, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in various places continue to rebel. And even if you ask Lord Assassin Shi to borrow troops, you will have to pay a price. ”

Mi Fang was a little annoyed.

This seems to be a good opportunity to get closer to the Mi family?

"I don't know how many ships and horses there are in Liangshanbo, and how much gold and silver does Zang Ba need to send troops?"

"There are at least more than 1,000 water bandits in Liangshanbo, as for gold and silver...... This ......"

Mi Fang didn't fully trust Chu Tian yet.

Chu Tian didn't ask either.

With the scale of the sailor battalion of more than a dozen sentinel ships in Xia Town, it is really impossible to eliminate more than a thousand water bandits. Even if they were forcibly eliminated, Xia Zhen would be greatly damaged.

After the celebration banquet, Chu Tian took Mi Fang to the third-level school field in Xia Town.

Before the duel began, Chu Tian waved his hand for Mulan to lean over, and said in a low voice: "His brother is a huge rich man in Xuzhou, start lightly, don't be disabled." ”
