on the battlefield.

Li Long's battle axe took advantage of the air to break the leg of the horse where Zhu Hong was sitting, and with a bang, Zhu Hong fell off the horse, turned over to avoid Yu Wenyuan's pursuit, and the halberd stabbed Yu Wenyuan's leg, bang, Yu Wenyuan fell to the ground, Zhu Hong took the opportunity to go up and smack.

Zhu Hong was hit by Li Long's battle axe, and poof, he stumbled forward a few steps, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yu Wenyuan took the opportunity to go up.

Zhu Hong sneered, slashed the world, forced Yuwenyuan to retreat, Li Long rushed over, and when he was about to kill Zhu Hong, he didn't realize that Zhu Hong's halberd had pierced his war horse.

Bang knock, bang knock.

Li Long fell to the ground with the war horse and was thrown off the sand, and he slammed and dragged several meters away, poofing, and spitting blood.

He didn't notice that Zhu Hong had arrived in front of him with a halberd in his hand.

Yu Wenyuan saw this.

His brows tightened, and it was too late to remind, and when he was about to rush up, he found that his right leg was temporarily unconscious.

Panicked shouted: "Li Long, run!" ”

Li Long found that his battle axe had been thrown out when he fell off his war horse, and he was seriously injured, and he was unable to move at all.

Zhu Hong glanced at the injured Yu Wenyuan, endured the axe wound on his abdomen and back, sneered, stared at Li Long and said, "You shouldn't challenge me!" Hehe! ”

As he spoke, he stabbed Li Long in the chest with his halberd.

Li Long sighed helplessly, slowly closed his eyes, and was faintly unwilling in his heart, but in the end, they still failed to kill Zhu Hong, but were about to die under his halberd.

The halberd stabbed into Li Long's chest.

Bang.

I saw Yu Wenyuan's single hammer attacking, bang, Zhu Hong spit blood from his mouth, and again, Zhu Hong knelt on the ground, and the halberd in his hand fell to the ground.

When he looked back.

I only saw Yu Wenyuan dragging his injured leg, holding an iron gun in one hand and a big hammer in the other, and the hammer smashed into Zhu Hong's leg again.

Bang, bang.

His legs were a heap of blood.

Li Long reacted at the same time, a long sword appeared in his hand, and with two clicks, he cut off Zhu Hong's arms!

Yes!

There were bursts of screams.

Lu Chen sighed, put away the Sunset Earthquake Bow in his hand, he summoned his soldiers and led the injured Yu Wenyuan and Li Long to return to Linrong Land to rest temporarily.

Nighttime.

Inside the tent.

The three of them sat around the fire, roasting lamb shank meat and drinking apricot blossom wine, but Lu Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, because the apricot blossom wine was the only two jars left for him by Su Xiaomo.

"Where are you going?"

Li Long pondered for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Shouldn't I go to my old father-in-law?" ”

"Get out, shameless!"

Yu Wenyuan spread his hands and said, "I'm going back to Jingzhou." ”

"Jingzhou?"

Yu Wenyuan nodded.

explained: "My family is in Jingzhou, and the apricot blossom wine is actually made by my uncle, he is idle and makes this thing, if he goes back to Jingzhou, at least he will not worry about not having apricot blossom wine to drink." ”

Lu Chen smiled faintly and nodded.

The next day.

Lu Chen took two high-quality horses, handed them to Yu Wenyuan and Li Long, and said with a smile: "Have a good trip!" ”

Yu Wenyuan nodded, got on his horse and ticked tock, he turned around and said, "See you in Jingzhou!" And he rode his horse and galloped south.

Lu Chen and Li Long smiled faintly.

Li Long patted Lu Chen and said with a smile: "I have time to come to Liangzhou for a walk!" ”

"Uh-huh! Bon voyage! ”

Li Long mounted his horse and rushed towards Xiliang.

Both of them left, Lu Chen smiled and muttered, "I hope that next time we meet, we will still be friends!" ”

"The whole army will pull out the camp and return to the city of stars!"

Day 3.

Lu Chen entered Xianbei from the crossing and established a fourth town, Xingqing Town, in Xitingdi.

【Xingqing Town】

[Town Order: Cai Han]

[Area: Thousands of miles]

[Upgrade: None yet]

Xingqing Town of Xingluo City was established, the west passage was opened, and the entire Xianbei Land was incorporated into the territory of Xingluo City, in Xianbei Land, countless mountains, lakes, snow mountains, salt ponds, and forests, Lu Chen rode on the snow to investigate all the way, and his heart was full of awe for this Xianbei land.

Taihu Town has been rebuilt and is now on the land of the Xianbei Royal Court, and the towns on all sides of the south, east, and west have begun to build NPC villages.

The population of Xingluo Town has reached a new height of 3.85 million, and it is not easy to capture 2 million herdsmen due to the massacre of Gongsun Zhan when he captured the Kebineng tribe.

Lu Chen arranged for Xingqing Town to build a post road to the Western Regions, and he planned to lead from the west of Xingqing Town to the Western Regions, if the soil quality of the Western Regions could be changed, the area of Xingluo City would be equivalent to the area of the entire Han Dynasty, although the NPC population was only 5% of it.

Five days later.

When Lu Chen returned to Starfall City, he began to move the Xianbei herdsmen on a large scale, using Starfall City to connect the post roads of the four towns for ten miles, building a large number of NPC villages, and quickly connecting the four towns with Starfall City, so that the residents and players of other towns could circulate normally.

The second is to facilitate the herald to transmit military information and reinforce the towns in all directions.

Night.

A prompt sounded.

"Ding. The Han army was mighty, the alien alliance army was defeated, and the 100 players on the military merit list went to Luoyang 45 days later, waiting for the reward from Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. ”

Lu Chen was still busy with internal affairs, but when he heard the announcement of the system, he paused involuntarily, and secretly said in his heart that what should come will come after all.

The internal affairs incident was taken over by the military advisor, and the county Cheng Tianzhong temporarily lived under the command of the Fu Professor, but a large number of policies had to be signed by Lu Chen, and as soon as he came back, he was busy with internal affairs issues, and he checked them one by one and finally dealt with them in the middle of the night.

When he returned to the mansion, check the details of this system announcement, which marked forty-five days later, probably because of the rebellion in Luoyang, Chang'an and other places, so that Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, did not immediately summon them into Luoyang, but temporarily stabilized the region.

The second is that Hongnong's granary was burned, the imperial court began to prepare for the first season of grain collection, and the imperial granary was destroyed, which Lu Chen did not expect at all, but fortunately, the players still focused on the overall situation and contributed food one after another, otherwise, in this alien counterattack, Zhu Hong may really be able to regain Chang'an and govern the east and west.

Three days later.

Lu Chen began to increase his troops in a big way.

He assigned the heavy task of recruiting soldiers to the three deputy generals who came back, and wanted to expand the trapping camp again, but it turned out that the upper limit of the trapping camp was 800, and the upper limit of the Beifu Army and the Northern Desert Army was also only 12,800 soldiers, which could not be re-stacked.

Lu Chen had no choice but to give up.

It is prepared according to the new training program of the generals.

1. Abolish the original single branch of the Guards and adopt a merger and multi-faceted development.

2. Abolish the establishment of crossbow cavalry and integrate ordinary crossbowmen into the comprehensive barracks.

Three: The light cavalry has increased the bow and arrow shooting drill item.

Fourth, establish independent heavy cavalry barracks and light cavalry barracks.

Five: The Beifu Army and the Northern Desert Army are organized into comprehensive military camps, with four mixed formations: heavy infantry, light infantry, archers, and crossbowmen.

According to the preparation plan.

The commanders and generals are as follows: the Beifu Army under Ah Yu, the Northern Desert Army under Xu Rong, and the Sinking Camp under Gao Shun.

The newly established Eight Battalions of Heavy Cavalry, Eight Battalions of Light Cavalry, and Four Battalions of Guards were all personally commanded under Lu Chen, and Yan Rou, Yang Feng, and Feng He, the three lieutenants, were all promoted to generals and temporarily commanded the three armies.

The guards of the four towns have all been expanded to the upper limit, with 12,800 soldiers per town, and the defense of the towns is all handed over to the guards.

Before the expansion of the army, Lu Chen had already sent all the captured armaments to the trading house for sale, but it was only used for construction and army expansion.

At this time.

Lu Chen found that if he tossed it again, he was afraid that the military camp would not even want to eat meat, so he hurriedly went to find a way to make money, the last time Su Xiaomo helped to tinker with the barbecue shed had a good effect, and now he has a daily income of 200,000 copper coins every day.

"Tian Zhong, do you know how our city can make money?"

Lu Chen had no choice but to ask Tian Zhong, sitting on a huge city was so poor that he had to eat soil, which was already going crazy.

Tian Zhong replied curiously: "Lord, the money-making strategy should be asked to Doctor Su, she knows better than her subordinates, and besides, Doctor Su is the wife of the lord, and the Lu family restaurant has also been opened in other states and counties, why should the lord worry about the coin?" ”

Lu Chen's face turned pale for a while, and he pretended to be majestic and said: "Tian Zhong, I am here to ask you for advice, not to ask you to analyze your lord's family affairs, besides, your lord and I just like to make money!" ”

Tian Zhong looked at Lu Chen for a long time, then nodded secretly, as if he understood something, then pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Lord, our Starfall City, there should be some things that can be fiddled with, such as armaments, war horses, grain, iron ore, and salt lakes that have not been mined for the time being, these are all resources to make money, but there are no channels, and these things in the trading house are all contraband!" ”

Lu Chen nodded.

He said slowly: "The production of armaments is too low, and now it can only supply the needs of the soldiers in the city, and the armaments do not have the Han system mark, so they cannot be sold at all. ”

Tian Zhong nodded.

He replied: "It's a pity that the production of war horses is also scarce, the lord has wantonly crossed the cavalry this time, and the horse farm is already under pressure, if the cavalry is expanded again within three years, then the war horses can only be purchased from the herdsmen." ”

Lu Chen sighed and nodded, understanding what Tian Zhong said.

The increase in troops was too fierce, almost did not squeeze the horse farm, the horse farm produces a new number of horses every year, only five or six thousand, if the force is increased violently, the horse farm will be vacant, and the output of the horse farm will be even lower in the future.

Lu Chen continued: "Grain is not allowed to be sold to the outside world, and now there are nearly four million residents in Starfall City, and there will be a stage of grain storage in three years, so we must store a large amount of grain in case the situation changes in the future." ”

Tian Zhong nodded.

Lu Chen pondered for a while, and then he said: "Iron ore is not allowed to be sold, and if you want to sell it, you should immediately gather experienced salt miners and start researching and exploring the salt lake for mining." ”

There was a pause.

Tian Zhong nodded.

said: "My lord, if you mine the salt lake and sell it, it may take three years, but the sale of illicit salt has already violated the interests of the imperial court, and we will ...... it for the time being."

Lu Chen smiled.

said: "As soon as possible, we will supervise the mining of salt ponds, and as for the use of sales, we not only have no way, but we can't." None of these things can make money, and now the turnover of the city, although it seems that there is no problem, but once there is a war, a large amount of grain and grass, armaments, war horses, soldiers, etc. will be quickly consumed, and I am afraid that the starfall city will be in deficit soon. ”

Tian Zhong nodded.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly said: "Lord, in fact, there are a few things that can make money, but the process is a little difficult, I don't know if we can organize such a department, and this department will develop a special product that only belongs to Xingluo City, just like the apricot blossom wine of the Yuwen family in Jingzhou!" ”

“.......”
