"Okay, this matter will be decided like this for the time being, and then let's talk about the treatment of the various forces stationed outside the fog, whether to destroy them all or to win them together. Ye Xing sat on the main seat and said.

A problem was solved, but a new problem was thrown by Ye Xing.

Everyone in the hall nodded their heads when they heard this, and the matter was decided, and then they continued to discuss the next matter.

Compared with the discussion of the previous matter, this one thing is much more concise, and there are only two forces stationed outside the fog.

One is to completely destroy the other party, and the other is to send people to contact, and if they can, they will be pulled.

However, considering the current and future situation, there are more people who support the second proposal, and it is extremely difficult to destroy it completely, and there are many people outside and they all have the ability to fight.

What's more, the other party is a living person, even if it is a group of beasts, they also know that the mountains are running around, let alone these people.

So there was hardly much controversy among the people, and they directly chose the second plan given by Ye Xing.

Pull together and divide.

In fact, the second plan is what they are already doing, just like Zhao You, it belongs to the forces that were co-opted by Ye Xing.

One force may not work, but if the number of forces increases, it will be a huge change.

"Then I'll send people out right now to pretend to be loose cultivators, and wander around the various forces to gain the trust of the leaders of the various forces. Liang Shuo nodded, and then left the main hall to go out to arrange things.

"One more thing, don't forget about foreign intelligence detection. Ye Xing looked at Liang Shuo, who was leaving, and said another word to Li Mu beside him.

"Okay, I'll arrange for Yang Zhi and the others to go out to investigate later. Li Mu nodded, because he was not in a hurry about this matter, so he didn't run out in a hurry like Liang Shuo.

In this way, the second problem was quickly solved, and the third problem was thrown out by everyone.

That's the issue of augmenting staff.

This problem has always been with them, whether it is the expansion of the Weishui Army or the expansion of the defense force of the entire fortress.

It's all a matter of urgency.

Now that Ye Xing has made a decision, it is natural to implement it in this way.

And whether it is the former village guards or the current Weishui Army, to put it bluntly, they all refer to the same group of people, but now they have changed their titles.

Because the predecessor of today's Weishui Army is the village guard of Weishui Village.

In the past, the number of Weishui troops was used to defend a village, which was naturally completely sufficient or even redundant, but now it is different from the past.

Because now they are responsible for defending a fortress city.

Not to mention that this fortress is much larger than the original Weishui Village, and there is a serious shortage of people on the defensive side.

Just saying that the inner city of the fortress was still empty was enough to give them a headache.

Because the empty house means that it is uninhabited, and uninhabited means that more patrol soldiers are needed here, and in this way, it will bring more work and difficulty to the Weishui army, which is already short of people.

In other words, it means that these uninhabited places belong to the weak control area and blind spot of the Weishui Army.

If someone sneaks in and hides it, then it's a big problem.

Therefore, the issue of recruiting soldiers and residents must be put on the agenda, of course, in Gu Xun's opinion, it is not necessary to recruit ordinary residents, because this is a fortress city, and ordinary residents will inevitably be unaccustomed to it.

Therefore, Ye Xing made a decision to recruit young and middle-aged soldiers instead, and the residents in the fortress would keep the thousands of residents that Weishui Village had taken in before.

So at the request of the inhabitants of the fortress, the decision was made.

"Well, then listen to what Childe has to say. Everyone nodded their heads, and it was better for all the people to be soldiers, because they had intended to gain a foothold in the fortress city. I love

If too many ordinary people were allowed to enter the fortress, it would probably backfire.

"Then how do we recruit?" asked Rui'er, puzzled.

Because now there are teams of various forces outside, and it is a little difficult for them to go out and recruit new people with a swagger.

"This matter is not a big problem, I will arrange it, and you don't really think that Zhao You is the only one among those forces outside is our secret chess. Ye Xing smiled slightly, but didn't say more.

Because of the vision and the movement of a large number of people, among the outside forces, there are not only soldiers and casual hermits from various cities, but also horse bandits mixed in with them.

And this time, it happened that one of the horse bandit teams was the shadow that Ye Xing had buried in Tianyun Village when he left Weishui Village some time ago.

Moreover, don't forget the Weishui Village guards who have blended in with various mercenary groups in the past.

These are hidden forces that are not known to outsiders.

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this, and looked at Ye Xing's face, only to feel extremely mysterious.

And after this matter is settled, there is the next thing.

Now there are more and more people in Youyuan Fortress, and judging from the grain storage of the horse bandit cottage warehouse and Weishui Village that they captured before, it can still last for a year and a half.

However, if we continue to recruit people, I am afraid that it will only last for a few months, and the reclamation work in the fortress has only just begun, and it may be some time before it is harvested.

Therefore, the second thing after the recruitment of new people, the purchase of food, was also put on the table.

There is no way, the current Youyuan Fortress is not self-sufficient, and if you want to feed so many soldiers, then you have to purchase it from outside first.

It's just that this procurement channel is almost none, maybe Zhao Yu can count half there, but even if there is a contract between the two parties, this channel is not very stable after all.

So if you want to solve this problem, you can only go to the Shang Pavilion, or rather, go to the person in charge of the merchant.

Merchants traveled all over the world with their feet, and stored goods and materials with storage rings, as long as they could be contacted, then the food problem could be easily solved.

So, Ye Xing issued a request to Gu Xun to enter the village guards of each post station to collect news from the merchants.

Although the information about the whereabouts of the merchants is hidden, they always have to do business, and if they want to do business, they will naturally have a way to get in touch.

And this matter is left to the village guards in the potential post house restaurants to handle, which is naturally excellent.

It's just that before these village guards can collect these intelligence news, I'm afraid their strength realm will have to be improved.

Because they have been outside, they have not enjoyed the opportunity of the last time the realm has advanced by leaps and bounds.

However, this is not a problem for Ye Xing now, for him now, these things are just a piece of cake.

"Okay, that's all for now, let's get busy. Ye Xing stood up, only to feel a sore back.

"Yes. Then they got up, and then left the main hall to arrange all sorts of things.

There are far more things to discuss this time, so they will be busy for the rest of the year.

After watching everyone leave, Ye Xing walked to the opposite side of the main hall gate.

After pushing open the closed door, my eyes suddenly lit up.

In front of him was a relatively spacious terrace, Ye Xing walked out, feeling the warmth of the sun, only to feel the tiredness in his heart suddenly swept away.

Suddenly, Ye Xing's eyes narrowed, and he took out the communication jade talisman and looked at it: "Go, call Li Goudan over." ”

The voice fell, and a small sound sounded, as if someone had left from here.
