According to Ah Niu's request. Sun Liang and the others needed to expand the troops of Fengxiang City to 20,000 in half a month. Fengxiang City has enough spare population, the source of troops is not a problem, and there are enough reserves of weapons and equipment, but it will cost a lot of money to recruit nearly 10,000 new soldiers, which is a huge test for Fengxiang's financial situation.

Moreover, the expansion of the army was not a one-time expense, and the salaries of soldiers were much higher than those of ordinary residents, and the cost was quite large. As a result, unless there are exceptional circumstances, it is difficult for most lord players to maintain their maximum strength in their territory, and their financial resources do not allow for the recruitment of as many troops.

How did Sun Liang solve the problem of funding, Ah Niu didn't ask much, but focused his attention on the structure of the troops.

During the period when Ah Niu left the territory, due to the constraints of the population limit, Sun Liang spent most of the precious spare places on the resettlement of craftsmen, and a large number of displaced people in the refugee camp could not enter the barracks selection process.

The current composition of Fengxiang City's troops (excluding martial arts troops):

Trapped: 5o8 people.

First Dead Soldier: 11o2 (Liangzhou).

Shanzi Battalion: 5ooo people (2,000 of them were stationed in Luoyang with Zhou Tai, and there were actually only 3,000 soldiers in the Shanzi Battalion in Qingzhou).

Canglan Water Division: 1ooo people.

Wing battalion: 5o6 people.

Shanziying Liangzhou Division: 1ooo people.

Thunder Ride: 1ooo people (Liangzhou).

A total of 1o116 people. It is distributed in Qingzhou, Liangzhou and Luoyang, among which the Canglan Sailor also needs to be dispatched frequently to Youzhou to transport trade materials. After deducting the share of the naval army, Feng Xiang's actual total strength is only more than 9,000, which is evenly distributed to Qingzhou, Liangzhou, and Luoyang, and the strength of each place is only 3,000 people!

An ordinary second-level city territory has an army quota of 10,000 people, and Fengxiang City, which is divided into three places, may even be messed up by the troops of a second-level city. When recalling the more than 100,000 elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army faced in the Battle of Luoyang, Ah Niu couldn't help but sigh, "The number of troops is too small!" ”

Expanding the army is imperative!

Among Feng Xiang's various troops, the three special arms trapped in the camp, the flying wing battalion and the first dead soldier because of the high requirements for soldiers, the degree of replenishment of troops is very slow, Ah Niu has never set any restrictions on the expansion of these three troops, as long as Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, and Ju Yi are willing to accept it, Feng Xiang has no reason to welcome it. Therefore, in fact, this great expansion of the army has little to do with these three forces.

The only objects that really need to be expanded are the Shanzi Battalion, the Canglan Water Division, and the Thunder Cavalry, among which the situation of the Shanzi Battalion is the most special, and at present, the Shanzi Battalion with a total of 6,000 people is stationed in three places, and no unit is in such a situation.

Ah Niu is not worried about the safety of Luoyang now, Fengxiang's move to rebuild Luoyang is in line with the people, Lu Zhide, who served as the Taishou of Luoyang, is highly respected, and the reconstruction work has the written permission of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, and the forces of the NPC princes have to give some face. The Battle of Luoyang more than two months ago spread the name of Fengxiang's "Iron Army" all over the country, and even Yuan Shu's guy was severely humiliated.

Two thousand soldiers of the Mountain Character Battalion, plus the allied forces of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City. Luoyang should be fine.

As for the special territory of Liangzhou, it is equipped with the first death soldiers led by Ju Yi, the thunder cavalry led by the fierce general Li Jin, and the 1,000-strong Shanzi battalion as a regular force, which can be described as a brave general. Longfei City is located at the mouth of the Eight Treasure Valley, and the fortress plan of the Chen Palace has begun to take shape, and the defense of the special territory may be described as "impregnable".

However, Fengxiang is not just a dragon flying city in Liangzhou, there are also three subsidiary territories located outside the Eight Treasure Valley, including Iron Hammer Town, a blacksmith production base, and there is no room for loss in defense. Relying on a small number of troops to protect one city and three towns, the shortage of troops is also very obvious.

Since the battle of Babao Valley and the annihilation of the prison sister Qiang troops, Long Feicheng has not had any problems in terms of security, but Ah Niu does not dare to leave anything to chance, once there is an incident, the consequences are unimaginable. You must know that the Thunder Cavalry commanded by Li Jin was not stationed in Longfei City for a long time, in order to train an elite cavalry, the Thunder Cavalry often went deep into the Xiongnu steppe to train troops, and many times it was not in the territory.

What kind of Cheng dù does the military strength of the Liangzhou territory need to be expanded, Ah Niu did not jump to conclusions, and Chen Gong's attitude is decisive.

Ah Niu quickly contacted Chen Gong through the five rats of Jincheng, and only by first clarifying the problem of Liangzhou could the scale of Qingzhou's army expansion be revealed.

Hearing the news that a certain city lord was preparing to expand the army, Chen Gong's first reaction was surprise, not that he was against the expansion of the army, "Our recent expenses are so large, and the income has not increased significantly, does the territory have so much money to support the expansion of the army?" ”

After all, it is through the five rats of Jincheng to pass the word many things are not as convenient as the two face to face this question chen gong just rotted in the stomach did not mention it in his opinion since a cow has this plan. Clearly, the funding problem should have been resolved.

"Lord, in fact, Liangzhou should have rearmament a long time ago, and his subordinates thought that the current capital turnover of the territory is very tight, and our craftsmen in Liangzhou have not yet been able to achieve profits, but because of the construction of the fortress, they have taken a lot of money from the territory, so it is really difficult to mention the matter of expanding the army. Since now the lord asked, his subordinates hope that the Shanzi battalion can be expanded by 3,000 people, as for the issue of the expansion of the Thunder Cavalry...... We'll talk about that later. Chen Gongle said happily.

The expansion of the Thunder Cavalry also involved the issue of the Xiqiang War Horse, and Chen Gong did not propose to let the Thunder Cavalry expand the army, which was regarded as mercy on his subordinates. According to such a plan, the regular troops in Liangzhou will reach 4,000 people, which should be enough to guard the daily security of one city and three towns.

No one has more say on this issue than Chen Gong, and there must be a reason why this loyal king-level strategist made such a judgment!

After some thought, Ah Niu agreed to Chen Gong's request, although in fact, Chen Gong proposed the figure of 3,000 people to expand the army in Liangzhou, which was already beyond Ah Niu's expectations. At the same time as he agreed, General Li, one of the five rats in Jincheng, the lord of a certain city, asked, "If I transfer back to the long-range troops stationed in Liangzhou, will it affect the security of the territory of Liangzhou?" ”

The so-called ranged troops, of course, are Ju Yi's first dead soldiers, and the reason why I say this is because Ah Niu doesn't want the name of the first dead soldier to leak out, after all, it is still through other players.

Chen Gong frowned, although he had left Qingzhou and came to Liangzhou to build a special territory, but with Chen Gong's understanding of Ah Niu, he naturally understood the meaning behind this sentence - Ah Niu moved the idea of transferring the first dead man back to Qingzhou!

Chen Gong didn't understand why this was the case, he was keenly aware that a certain city lord wanted to transfer the first dead soldier back, obviously not in Fengxiang as a decoration, "Could it be that the lord wants to use troops externally, so he wants to transfer the most terrifying Juyi Department back?" ”

Among all the troops of Feng Xiang, the most popular enemy is none other than the first to die, almost every tough battle has the figure of the first to fight the dead, and the rain of arrows spit out from the big yellow crossbow in their hands makes all the enemies who have fought against them frightened!

Chen Gong was well aware of the importance of the special territory to Fengxiang. I also know that a certain city lord attaches great importance to Long Fei. Ah Niu knew that the existence of the first deceased was of great significance to Long Fei's safety, and he also moved the idea of transferring the first deceased, which shows that Ah Niu also desperately hopes to use the power of the first deceased to fight an important war!

Chen Gong was silent for a long time, and said firmly: "It has a great impact. However, if the lord can send another general to lead his troops to take over the defense, there should be no major problem in transferring that force in the short term. If the lord is free, he can come to Liangzhou to inspect it. ”

If an ordinary official senses the lord's intentions, he is likely to casually agree, Chen Gong is not that kind of person. It is not enough to blindly promise, he needs to be responsible for the Fengxiang City Lord and express his judgment meticulously, so as to avoid the lord from making wrong decisions. This is the style of Chen Gong!

"I see, I'll come over when I'm done with this time!"

Ah Niu did not continue to ask, he did not have any reservations about Chen Gong's trust, and from Chen Gong's words, a certain city lord was keenly aware that the shape of the Liangzhou territory that seemed to be the closest was not very optimistic.

After determining the size of the troops in Liangzhou, the rest of the problems were easy to handle, and after the 10,000-person army expansion plan occupied 3,000 people in Liangzhou, there were still 7,000 troops, and Ah Niu quickly made a decision.

With the expansion of the trade cooperation between Fengxiang and the Talan tribe, the entire sailor has become a professional transport fleet, which is very different from Ah Niu's original intention of forming the Canglan Sailor. Before this, Feng Xiang had not faced a threat from the sea, but with the emergence of a number of shipyards that had begun to take shape in the Jing and Yang areas, Ah Niu had already truly felt that the battle for sea power between lord players would start sooner or later!

Other than that. The Yellow Turban Army led by Fat Dragon Baby intends to create a base in Youzhou, and in the future, the material transaction between Fengxiang and the Yellow Turban Army may only be realized through the Guò fleet.

The Canglan Naval Division was expanded from 1,000 to 3,000. According to the current scale of the transaction between Fengxiang and the Talan tribe, the 3,000-strong sailor army also has enough military strength to stay in the town of Bonai to maintain the coastal defense security of Fengxiang when performing transportation tasks!

Feng Xiang's territory in Qingzhou, in addition to the main city, there are twelve subordinate territories, and the defensive pressure of the Shanzi Battalion is very high, so the expansion of the Qingzhou Department of the Shanzi Battalion naturally has no suspense. With a stroke of a certain city lord's pen, the Shanzi battalion was expanded from 5,000 to 8,000 (including the troops stationed in Luoyang)!

In fact, in Ah Niu's view, the regular troops in Qingzhou are still too few, and the growth scale of Liangzhou's military strength is beyond Ah Niu's expectations, and it has an impact on the size of the Shanzi battalion to a certain extent.

In this expansion, Fengxiang has a new unit: the Heavy Infantry Battalion!

In the list of new buildings in the third-tier cities, there is a heavy infantry training camp. The level 58 hoplite is more powerful than the 5o light infantry? Ah Niu, who has always admired elite soldiers, will naturally not forget this point.

The heavy infantry battalion has 2,000 people, with Lu Han as the main general, and the defense of the hoplites is amazing, and the combat ability of individual soldiers and groups is not comparable to that of light infantry. It seems a bit risky to let Lu Han be the commander of such a force, but there is no better candidate in Ah Niu's hands for a while, and Lu Han, who has experience in commanding the Shanzi Battalion, has become Ah Niu's only choice.

It is unlikely that the Heavy Infantry Battalion will be sent out to charge, this unit should be the backbone of the defense, and the territory will be an impregnable wall in the face of an attack. Lu Han, who has some talent in defense, is actually quite in line with the temperament of the heavy foot battalion.

Among the transferred generals trained by Feng Xiang, Di Yun is the best at attacking, and Lu Han is the best at defending, which has long become everyone's consensus!

In peacetime, the responsibilities of the heavy infantry battalion are the same as those of the Shanzi battalion, which is to protect the territory, and it is under the unified command of Xu Rong, and Lu Han can still learn the way of using troops by Xu Rong's side.

At this point, Fengxiang's army expansion plan was fully finalized, and the rest of the matter was the matter of Sun Liang and the commanders of each army.

In fact, the scale of Fengxiang City's expansion this time was larger than expected, and the reinforcement of the trapped camp, the first to the dead and the flying wing battalion was not in Ah Niu's expansion plan.

The territory was upgraded to a third-level city, a large number of displaced people who were placed in the refugee camp officially moved in, and the dragon god delivered the population in exchange for two thousand Wuhuan war horses in advance, providing Feng Xiang with a large number of opportunities to select troops. According to the usual practice, several special branches of the armed forces have the right of priority in the selection of troops, and only after they have selected them will it be the turn of other units to select troops, and several units have gained some results.

At the end of the conscription, the number of trapped camps increased by 32 people, and the current strength is 54o.

The winged battalion has increased by 48 men and now has a strength of 554.

Due to the need to deal with Qianluo, Ju Yi, who had been staying in Liangzhou, happened to stay in the territory at this time, and 837 new recruits were added to the Xianden Death Soldier Battalion!

Judging from the recruitment situation of the three special arms, it can be seen that the recruitment requirements of the trapped camp and the flying wing battalion are very strict. It's just point-in-point, only the first to die seems less picky. However, Ju Yi's selection of so many recruits can only show that the selection conditions for the first dead soldiers are slightly more relaxed.

You must know that the new population of Fengxiang has reached more than 40,000 people!

Even excluding female NPCs and the elderly and weak villagers, there are still more than 10,000 young and strong men to choose from. The probability of selecting troops for the Flying Wing Battalion and the Trap Camp has reached an exaggerated one percent!

The three special troops have all gained, and Ah Niu was too late to be happy, and he didn't notice Sun Liang's expression of wanting to cry without tears. Find Ju Yi and say: "Qianluo hasn't left yet, you couple don't have to go back to Liangzhou first, and the recruited recruits will train in Fengxiang first." ”

Ju Yi was a little puzzled, leaving the army for a long time made him a little worried, in fact, in his opinion, Qianluo had already seen it, so he could leave ahead of time under the pretext of resigning from military affairs, anyway, it was just a pretense for Qianluo to see Rouran. After leaving Qingzhou, it was impossible for Qianluo to know whether they were going back to Luoyang or Liangzhou, but Ah Niu's will he was obviously unwilling to disobey, so Ju Yi made a military salute and took people back to the Fengxiang City military camp to accompany Gao Shun's trapped camp.

Ju Yi still doesn't know that a certain city lord wants to transfer the Xiandeng dead soldiers back from Liangzhou, and the reason for this is only known to Ah Niu and Pang Tong for the time being.

After repeated research by the two, Ah Niu and Pang agreed that they should not sit idly by and watch the Talan tribe's request for help, and if conditions permit, Feng Xiang should help the Talan tribe as much as possible!

Ah Niu, who is familiar with history, naturally understands that the strongest force under Gongsun Chan is the White Horse Yicong, and this legendary army is the hands of the first dead soldiers led by Ju Yi. This is the reason why Ah Niu wants to transfer back to the first dead man!

There are many downsides to rejection.

First, it may cause a rift in the good relationship between Fengxiang and the Talan tribe, and then cut off the war horse trade, and even make the long-term cooperation between Fengxiang and the Mi clan come to an end. In other words, Ah Niu himself was in the position of the Talan tribe Lord Futon, and was rejected when he needed help the most, and the interruption of cooperation was almost inevitable.

Second, Ju Yi's wife Rou Ran is the beloved daughter of the Talan tribe and the sister of the young patriarch Zalu, Ah Niu does not doubt Ju Yi's loyalty to Feng Xiang, but the blood connection cannot be ignored either. If something unpleasant happens because of this matter, it is very likely to have serious consequences.

Third, Ah Niu and Zalu have a good personal relationship, and the heroic young patriarch Zalu not only generously sent his love Ma Mofeng, but also did not hesitate to lend a helping hand when Fengxiang was facing difficulties.

Any of these three points makes it difficult for Ah Niu to ignore them, even if he can't beat them, it's better than standing idly by.

"Doesn't it seem that we have to send troops? Let's not consider whether we have the ability to defeat the Beiping Army, but just help the aliens deal with the Beiping Taishou of the Han Dynasty, and it's not good to spread it! Ah Niu frowned, he didn't care about the player's opinion of Feng Xiang, but the NPC world's perception of him, Ah Niu still cared a lot.

Typical for fame, prestige, prestige!

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Lord, the situation may be more troublesome, with Yuan Shao's strength, it is not impossible to take advantage of this matter to make a big fuss and frame you for colluding with foreign races to attack Han officials, and it is not impossible to say that you are a 'traitor'." ”

"Traitor?"

Ah Niu wants to cry without tears, and has always prided himself as a young man who loves the country, his family, and his own three loves, how could he have thought that he might one day be buttoned up with such a hat, Ah Niu has always been contemptuous of the animal "traitor".

"I'm not a traitor!"

Pang Tong shook his head, "Lord, if the decision to send troops to Youzhou has been made, in fact, that problem is not difficult to solve, as long as we use a little trick, we can become famous and help the Taran tribe in a dignified manner." ”

"Tell me!"

"It stands to reason that the battle between the Wuhuan people and the Taishou of Beiping will not be our turn to take care of it. According to the knowledge of his subordinates, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Chan and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu have never been harmonious, the two have irreconcilable contradictions in the concept of treating foreign races, the former advocates toughness, the latter advocates Huairou, including the Beiping bloody case that directly led to the large-scale confrontation between the Wuhuan people and the Beiping army, Liu Yu has come forward to mediate, but in the end because of Gongsun Zhan's insistence had to die without a problem, Liu Yu had a great deal of glory for this.

In addition, Gongsun Chan has self-respect in Beiping, relying on the strength of the army, and does not take Liu Yu as the state pastor in his eyes, and now the battle between them has not completely detonated, because Gongsun Chan is still accumulating strength, Liu Yu is worried that he will not be able to sweep away Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop, and it is only a matter of time before the two meet each other.

If someone goes to the Youzhou Governance Office at this time to ask to see Liu Yu and proposes to deal with Gongsun Zan in the name of inviting Fengxiang City to mediate the dispute, will Liu Yu agree? ”

The strength of the Fengxiang army has already been famous in the bloody battles of life and death, since the Fengxiang city lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth dares to break into Nanyang City with a tired army, how can he be afraid of Gongsun Zhan!

If it was Yuan Shao or Han Fu who made this request, Liu Yu would probably still be worried about luring the wolf into the house, but Ah Niu was just an alien lord in Qingzhou, so naturally he had no doubts about grabbing his territory!

Ah Niu's eyes lit up, he could almost assert now that Liu Yu would definitely not refuse, and it was not impossible to hug Feng Xiangjun with open arms!

"Haha, Youzhou Mu invited Feng Xiangjun to mediate the contradiction between the Wuhuan people and the Beiping Taishou, no one can say that we are traitors! We didn't have any contact with Liu Yu before, Shi Yuan meant, who do we send to contact Liu Yu? ”

Pang Tong smiled indifferently, "Lord, in this case, how can there be a reason to run to the door to recommend yourself?" We can't come forward in this matter. Liu Yu has a good relationship with the aliens in the north, and the Wuhuan people, as victims of the Beiping Bloody Case, pleaded with Liu Yu, presumably Liu Yu would gladly obey. ”

The two ministers laughed loudly.

Soon, Qianluo had rushed back to Youzhou under the escort of a Canglan Navy warship.

On the deck, Qianluo's heart was surging, and his excitement was undisguised, "The city lord of Ah Niu is indeed a friend worthy of the trust of our Talan tribe!" (To be continued)
