The fact that the tribes and tribes on the grassland have signed alliances made Nangong Sima feel a lot more relieved. At the very least, they don't have to worry about being saddled with a reputation for aggression, even if they want to go to war.

We are not newly recruited soldiers from Xiucai, some of them are trained in the big camp, and some of them are directly sent to Horseshoe Mountain and handed over to the real old wolf for training.

There were also 30,000 laborers, who were in place almost at the same time, and the progress of the development of the large battalion, the construction of the castle at the edge of the great forest, the progress of the works on the horseshoe hill, and the development of the banks of the river, were replaced by soldiers.

At this moment, there was a team of 50,000 people under his hands, and Nangong Sima was still a little unaccustomed to it.

It's really the old wolf who is very happy, and finally has a team of more than 10,000 people under his hands.

In order to prevent the Red House from sneaking up again, Nangong Sima asked the alpaca in his heart to pull out 1,000 people and form ten patrol teams, patrolling back and forth along the road of the big camp, stronghold, Wanjia Town, and the edge of the big forest, and set off a team of people every half day.

The patrol between Horseshoe Mountain and the Pocket Cave mine was made up of a hundred cavalry. There are also two patrols, one for the defense of the Horseshoe Hills, and the other for the security between the surrounding hills and converted strongholds.

There are many people under him, and he is generous.

Nangong Sima enjoyed this feeling very much.

Time passed day by day, and the time for the Red House to launch an attack was getting closer and closer.

The main excavation project of Horseshoe Mountain is about to be completed, and the construction of the surrounding city wall has also had a preliminary outline, and the second layer above is being added, and when the third layer is completed, the whole project will be completed, and all that remains is reinforcement and decoration.

Nangong Sima was walking inside the castle at the edge of the big forest.

The castle here is relatively simple, so the iron cage is placed in a circle, the surrounding area is fixed with wood, and after the wall is built with adobe, the entire main project is completed, and the remaining city gates, road construction, and the outer moat can be slowed down.

Gilliam looked at the city wall that he already needed to look up and said, "My lord, give me a name." Give each colony a name. ”

Nangong Sima thought for a moment and said, "This place is close to the edge of the big forest, and close to the prairie, so let's call it Watchcastle." How many people do you think is appropriate? ”

Gilliam said, "Three thousand to five thousand people according to the size of this castle. ”

"No, I'm going to reserve at least 50,000 people here."

"50,000 people? My lord, they can't fit this castle. ”

Nangong Sima laughed: "Haha, who said they had to be crowded here?" After this castle is built, other castles will be built outside. ”

"In this way, you can have as many people as you want!"

"We can't have too many people, on the one hand, our supplies can't keep up, and on the other hand, it will put a lot of pressure on other people on the grassland, and they will resist if the pressure is too long."

"Yes, that's what my lord said."

Nangong Sima asked: "Is there anyone here who can take on heavy responsibilities, do their own things well in an isolated environment, and ensure everyone's morale?" ”

Gilliam thought for a moment and said, "There is one, named Maidens, who is very suitable for the requirements of adults. ”

"Well, yes, bring him to the camp to see me."

"Yes, sir!"

Not long after Nangong Sima returned to the camp, Gilliam came in with Medens.

"Your Excellency!"

Maedens saluted and stood up straight.

Nangong Sima looked at him, burly figure, powerful force, round face, thick eyebrows, short hair, and a pair of eyes with no lack of calmness and cunning, he looked like a veteran.

Nangong Sima asked, "Have you ever fought?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"When? How many people did you bring? ”

"When the front line was fighting against the enemy's invasion, I brought more than 50 brothers, and one wall was guarded for a day and a night, and the brothers were all killed in battle. ”

"So how did you get here?"

"The city is not defended, and the chief needs a condemner."

"Haha!" Nangong Sima smiled and asked, "If there is a place now, isolated on all sides, and you only have a group of men who are not soldiers, what will you do?" ”

"I'll have a big meal first, and then I'll take my brothers to guard the city gates. Hold out for three days, and if reinforcements don't come, we'll withdraw in the evening. A fire burned the city. ”

Nangong Sima raised his eyebrows, this guy is ruthless enough, he has not done it yet, he is so ruthless, he must be quite fierce to the enemy.

"Yes, the answer is wrong."

Nangong Sima looked at him and said, "What you are giving you is a mine, of course you don't have many soldiers, but there are a lot of miners." The walls won't be too tall either. I don't know how you're going to keep it, but there's definitely a better way than what you just said. ”

"Yes, sir!"

Nangong Sima said: "From now on, you have been promoted to captain, take 500 soldiers and 600 laborers, go to the old land of the Baodong clan to build a city and defend the mine." ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll take office right away!" Maedens saluted and turned to go.

Gilliam said, "Do you really want to occupy the mines of the Pocket Cave Clan?" ”

"For the sake of long-term interests, this mine cannot be left into the hands of someone else. Therefore, it can only be occupied by building a city. I hope he is the one who can handle things. ”

Gilliam said, "Then I'll go and send supplies to them together." ”

Toot toot toot! The messaging machine rang.

Alpaca in the heart: General Lima went back to explain the situation here, and the military department was considering replacing the city lord. It has not yet been determined, but General Lima sent 20 carts of supplies.

Nangong Sima: This is a good thing, on the one hand, thank General Lima, and on the other hand, let the secretary monitor Locke's moves, he must have made some moves. Let's send half of the supplies here.

Alpaca in the Heart: Okay. You also have to guard against the desperate counterattack of the Red House, if the Red Boy is desperate, his strength is still quite terrifying.

Nangong Sima: It's okay, I can handle this, you do a good job of intelligence, and if you have the opportunity, you can reveal some news to General Lima by the way, and help the great city lord Locke.

The Alpaca in My Heart: Okay, I see!

Nangong Sima thought about it, found the Imperial Qi Scholar in the address book, and sent him a message.

Nangong Sima: Big brother, are you free? I'm looking for you.

Yuqi Scholar: Where are you talking?

Nangong Sima: Hehe, you should come to Rock City, I can't go anywhere else.

Scholar Yuqi: Okay, I'll see you in a moment.

Nangong Sima turned off the messaging device, settled things for Gilliam, and used the teleportation array to teleport to Rock City.

Coming out of the teleportation array, he saw that there was a vast sea of people in the city, and he didn't find the Imperial Qi scholar near the teleportation array, so he knew that he hadn't come yet, so he walked away and sat on the bench on the side of the road opposite.

A few minutes later, he saw the Imperial Qi Scholar come out of the teleportation array, saw him, and walked over and sat down beside him.

Nangong Sima: "It's been good lately?" still dominates the first and refuses to let go. ”

The scholar smiled and said: "The game, isn't it just to fight for the first, who cares about the second." ”

"Makes sense."

"What's the matter?"

Nangong Sima said: "I'm going to start a war with the Red House." Tell you a word. ”

"Hehe, I'm not from the Red House anymore, it's okay."

"But you're still my partner, you've invested in the South, and if I fail, you'll be poor!"

The Imperial Qi scholar laughed: "Then what should I do?" ”

"After our war, there will definitely be one man who will be defeated and left with nothing. You take over the Red House again. ”

The Imperial Qi scholar paused and said, "Recently, some of the former directors came to me and said that they thought that my brother had led the Red House off the rails. ”

Nangong Sima said: "Politics is so cruel, if you are useful, they will revolve around you, if you are useless, they will no longer pay attention to you, and even abandon you." ”

"Before, they chose the red boy, not you, they bet on him, and now they are going to lose, and they need to find someone to replace them. You are that person. ”

"I've been away from there for many years, and I don't want to touch that power thing again. ”

"It's useless, as long as you have the blood of the family in your body, this matter will be faced by you sooner or later." Nangong Sima looked at him and said, "Didn't you escape once before, and your brother's current result can be said to be caused by the responsibility you evaded." You know that he is not suitable for this position, and you still give it to him. ”

Sighing, the Imperial Qi Scholar said: "You're right, I just wanted to fulfill his wishes, ignoring the weight of this matter itself, which is very undeserved." ”

Nangong Sima said: "Okay now, I'll help you put the last straw on the weight, and the rest of the things, you can do it, prepare in advance, in order to deal with complex and changeable things." ”

The Imperial Qi scholar looked at him and said, "Are you so sure that you can knock down the Red House with one blow?" ”

"I'm not sure, but I'm sure I'll give it my all."

The Imperial Qi scholar sighed and said, "Okay, okay, this thing ......"

"Come on, I'll do my best to help you!" Nangong Sima smiled, got up and walked towards the teleportation array.

The Imperial Scholar sat in his chair and fell silent.

Nangong Sima was walking towards the teleportation array, when suddenly a player rushed over next to him, holding a dagger and shouting, "Nangong Sima, I want you to die!" Let you go against the lord again! Die! As he spoke, he stabbed the dagger down to his chest.

Nangong Sima jumped to the side suddenly, dodged his attack, and shouted, "The city lord sent you, how is it possible?" ”

A group of people quickly gathered around to watch the excitement.

The player squeezed out of the crowd in a panic and ran.

When everyone saw that there was no fight, they sighed and left dissatisfied.

The Imperial Scholar smiled at him and didn't say anything.

Nangong Sima knew that the scholar had already guessed the purpose of this play. Walk towards the teleportation array and pass to the Watch Fortress.

Coming out of the teleportation array, Nangong Sima sent a message to the alpaca in his heart.

Nangong Sima: I sent a strong condemnation to the military department, saying that I was seriously injured by the assassins sent by Locke in the street.

Alpaca in my heart: Okay, are you still satisfied with the actors?

Nangong Sima: Very satisfied, five-star praise!
