The addition of Shi Jin and the three made Jiang Buqi very happy, the only regret was that there was no special reward for subduing them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 According to them, they also had a special item on their body, but after the appearance of the Three Kingdoms forces, those special items disappeared.

In this regard, Jiang Buqi was very sorry, although he didn't know what the special items owned by Shi Jin and the three of them were, but the effect must be not small, which can be seen from the items such as the Divine Walking Talisman and the Special Soldier Talisman.

In the next few days, nothing major happened, and Jiang Buqi has been immersed in development. Before you know it, a month has passed.

Although it was only a month, Jiang Buqi's strength and strength had increased a lot.

First of all, the generals in his hands, in this month, many people have made breakthroughs, especially Li Kui, Shi Jin and Zhu Wu, all of whom have entered the fourth order!

As epic figures, the gap between the fourth and third orders is not ordinarily large, so to speak, now they can easily crush themselves from a month ago.

Coupled with Wu Song, Jiang Buqi already has four fourth-order epic figures in his hands. Among them, Zhu Wu is a military division, while Wu Song, Shi Jin and Li Kui are fierce generals.

Among the three, Wu Song is the strongest, and the three have fought in private, but Shi Jin and Li Kui are not his opponents.

followed by Shi Jin, and finally Li Kui.

In this regard, although Li Kui was unconvinced, no matter how many times he challenged, he never won once.

In addition to the three of them, the highest force is Yang Chun and Tian Guang. I don't know if it's because of his qualifications, Yang Chun failed to break through in this month. It is still a second-order epic level, while Tian Guang is a third-order lord level. The two of them have also competed, and they have won and lost each other. The strength should be about the same.

After that, there are eight veteran military masters such as Cui Yuanji, Wang Dian, and Qiu Lishan, and their strength has not improved, and they still stay at the third-order leader level or the fourth-order elite level. However, Jiang Buqi heard that Cui Yuanji and Wang Dian seemed to have reached a critical point and could break through at any time.

Of course, the concept of "anytime" is vague. It is possible to break through in the next second, or it is possible that they will not be able to break through in a lifetime, it all depends on their own qualifications and creation.

It's worth saying. Dai Zong also broke through to the third order during this time, but as a third-order epic figure, his strength was only one line higher than Yang Chun and Tian Guang, not too much higher. Thus. The direction of his evolution is indeed not in force. On the contrary, it is faster than before.

When he was in the second order, he could only travel 800 miles a day, but now it has directly doubled, reaching 1,600 miles. Of course, this speed still can't be compared to the Thunder and Lightning Lion King, so Jiang Buqi doesn't care very much, what he really cares about is the Divine Armor Horse refined by Dai Zong.

The Divine Horse is also a spirit rune that increases speed. Even if an ordinary person sticks four sheets on his leg, he can travel three or four hundred miles a day. Now after Dai Zong's strength has improved. The effect of refining the Shenxing Armor Horse is better than before, and it has been able to travel five hundred miles a day.

What is the concept of traveling 500 miles a day? As long as there are enough Divine Walking Armor Horses. The army of Nanlian City only needed half a day to kill Jiujiang City, and with such a terrifying marching speed, any force would be terrified when they saw it.

Therefore, now Dai Zong is very busy refining Shenxing armor horses in addition to training scouts.

In addition to these generals, there is another person, that is, Guan Hai, who was only recently recruited.

As a fourth-order lord-level figure, his strength is also very strong, except for Wu Song, Shi Jin and Li Kui, he has the highest martial power.

Even he, the leader, was surrendered, and those yellow turban thieves naturally went without saying it, and they joined one after another. Jiang Buqi selected 10,000 strong men from among these people and formed the 2nd and 3rd Nanlian Battalions, with 5,000 people in each battalion.

Shi Jin served as the captain of the second battalion of Nanlian, and Guan Hai served as the captain of the third battalion of Nanlian.

The former Nanlian City Guards selected 5,000 people and renamed it Nanlian 1st Battalion. The post of captain of the 1st Battalion of Nanlian was temporarily vacant, and Jiang Buqi took the lead.

The three battalions were collectively known as the Nanlian Army, with a total of 15,000 men. There is no doubt that Jiang Buqi is naturally the general of the Southern Lotus Army, and Zhu Wu is the military advisor of the Southern Lotus Army.

In addition to these 15,000 people, Nanlian City also has some combatants, such as the Ministry of Public Security and the pro-soldier team. The composition of the Ministry of Public Security is relatively complex, including Gou Taiping's Armed Police Department, Chen Meng's Tiger Army, and some city guards who have not been selected into the Nanlian First Battalion.

Jiang Buqi organized them together and established the Ministry of Public Security, which was responsible for the security of Nanlian City and Nanshan City. Gou Taiping is the Minister of Public Security, and Chen Meng is the Vice Minister of Public Security.

They also had a lot of men at their disposal, two thousand in all. Gou Taiping commanded a thousand security troops to be responsible for the security of Nanlian City, and Chen Meng led the remaining 1,000 people to be responsible for the security of Nanshan City.

The strength of the security army naturally cannot be compared with the Southern Lotus Army, the security army is displayed as a first-order ordinary level in Jiang Buren's attribute column, while the Southern Lotus Army is a third-order ordinary level.

As for Jiang Buqi's personal guards, there were a total of 300 people, including a hundred sword and shield soldiers summoned by the talisman. The position of captain of the guard is still held by Li Kui.

This is the current military situation of Nanlian City, compared with a month ago, its strength has increased several times!

In agriculture, too, it is developing very well. The cultivated land of Nanlian City has reached 150,000 mu, and Nanshan City also has 50,000 mu of farmland, a total of 200,000 mu!

In order to reclaim these farmlands, Jiang Bu gave up his blood, and he invested almost all the life points and energy crystals he earned during this time, including the loot collected from the Black Dragon Legion.

At this moment, the first-order energy spar on his body was less than a thousand, and the life points were only more than twenty thousand.

Fortunately, the first batch of rice planted in Nanlian City is almost ripe. It is believed that in the near future, Nanlian City and Nanshan City will not only be able to be self-sufficient, but also have surplus grain for export.

The reason why Jiang Buqi has enough money to support the development of Nanlian City and Nanshan City is also thanks to the two shops managed by Su Li. Especially the branch in Yuzhang City, at least 30,000 life points come in every day! And the shops in Nanlian City. Although the turnover has decreased, it can still make a net profit of more than 10,000 life points every day.

These two shops are currently Jiang Bu's money bags.

After this month's development, the population under Jiang Buqi's rule has also increased a lot. Many people have been relocated from the scattered agglomerations outside the city. Today, the total population of Nanlian City has reached 100,000, and Nanshan City has more than 40,000 people.

In order to strengthen the connection between Nanlian City and Nanshan City, Jiang Buqi also deliberately built a road thirty miles long to connect the two cities.

"Brother Zhu Wu, hasn't this month's food been delivered yet?"

In the main hall of the city guard mansion in Nanlian City, Jiang Buqi rubbed his temples. It looks like a lot of trouble.

Zhu Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Lord, I think you still don't expect Gongsun Fang, our behavior of recruiting 10,000 Yellow Turban thieves obviously makes him very uncomfortable." This morning, Brother Wu Song sent a message that they were discussing whether to remove you from the position of Nanlian City Guard. Not only that, because of your relationship, Brother Wu Song was also implicated. Now every move is being watched. ”

Hear this. Jiang Buqi became even more irritable, and couldn't help but scold: "Is this Gongsun Fang funny, I greeted him in advance before I took over the Yellow Turban Thief, and he also agreed, why did he suddenly regret it now?" ”

"Because you didn't make it clear the number of the Yellow Turban Bandits, if you told him that you wanted to recruit 10,000 Yellow Turban Bandits, he would never agree." Zhu Wu said helplessly.

Jiang Buqi did greet Gongsun Fang in advance, but he only said in the letter that he wanted to take over a group of thieves. I didn't say how many there were.

In the understanding of ordinary people, thieves are thieves. It would be good if the number of people could exceed 1,000, so Gongsun Fang agreed. But not long ago, he suddenly got the news that Jiang Buqi's main battle soldiers had reached 15,000, which made him a little uncomfortable.

You know, there are only 45,000 soldiers in Yuzhang City, and you have 15,000 soldiers out of a subordinate city, what do you want to do?

In addition, Jiang Buqi has not stayed by his side for a long time, and he is not very trusting, and Shi Datou is fanning the flames on the side. As a result, the relationship between Nanlian City and Yuzhang City immediately became tense.

After being silent for a while, Jiang Buqi suddenly said, "Brother Zhu Wu, you help me analyze whether Gongsun Fang will really remove me from the position of Nanlian City Guard." ”

Zhu Wu thought for a moment and said, "If we don't act, there are three possibilities:

The first possibility is to remove you from the post of guardian of Nanlian City and transfer you back to Yuzhang City. Of course, this possibility is very small, because he doesn't dare to push you too quickly, otherwise if you directly rebel, it will definitely be a very troublesome thing for Yuzhang City;

The second possibility is to continue to let you be the guardian of Nanlian City, but it will weaken your power. For example, install cronies into the Southern Lotus Army and share your military power. Another example is to appoint a Nanshan Castle Warden and let him manage Nanshan Castle instead of continuing to be in charge of it by you. When your power is weakened, Gongsun Fang will remove you from your position as the guardian of Nanlian City. I reckon this is the most likely;

The third possibility is that he trusts you very much, and not only continues to let you be the guardian of Nanlian City, but also will not hinder your development. However, this is very unlikely, unless you are his own son. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Buqi's face became solemn, "You mean, if I don't act, he will send someone over to share my power?" And then slowly squeezed me out of the center of power? ”

Zhu Wu nodded, "This is the most likely, as long as Gongsun Fang is not stupid, Bacheng will do this." Of course, it is not ruled out that he may directly remove you from the post of Nanlian City Guard. ”

"So what should I do?" Jiang Buqi asked.

After Zhu Wu was silent for a while, he suddenly bowed and asked solemnly, "Before answering this question, I would like to ask the lord about his ambitions. Does the lord want to be a hero in troubled times, or does he want to be a good general? ”

Jiang Buqi hesitated, and for a long time, his eyes gradually became firm, and he said seriously: "Xiaoxiong!" ”

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Zhu Wu's face, "I understand, since this is the case, I have two strategies to dedicate to the lord."

The first strategy is to immediately go to Jiujiang City to spread rumors, saying that Gongsun Fang is at odds with you, and wants to remove you from the post of guarding Nanlian City, and even does not hesitate to use force. After the rumors spread, the lord sent another person to contact Li Shen, the lord of Jiujiang City, to form an alliance with him. Li Shen has been peeping at Yuzhang City for a long time, and he will not refuse.

In this way, even if the lord rebelled immediately, Gongsun Fang would not dare to send troops to suppress it, otherwise, the army of Yuzhang City would most likely face the danger of being flanked from front to back. However, although this policy can allow the lord to keep his current inheritance, it is detrimental to his reputation, and those who betray the lord are easy to be spurned. ”

Jiang did not abandon the application unchanged, and only asked, "What about the second policy?" ”

"The second strategy is to send someone to Yuzhang City to spread rumors, saying that Li Shen learned that Gongsun Fang did not agree with you, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to send troops and reap the benefits of the fisherman. In this way, Gongsun Fang will not dare to push you too hard, and he will not directly revoke your position as the guardian of Nanlian City, but will only install cronies to come and test you. ”

Jiang Buqi frowned, and suddenly asked, "Is there any way for me to regain Gongsun Fang's trust, if possible, I don't want to break with him." ”

"Yes." Zhu Wu replied without thinking about it, "As long as you take the initiative to weaken your power, for example, hand over the military power of the newly formed Nanlian Second Battalion and Nanlian Third Battalion......

"Forget it then." Jiang Buqi shook his head, "I don't like to put my future in the hands of others, especially since this person doesn't trust me. You go and arrange manpower, and let him go to Yuzhang City to spread rumors now, so that Gongsun Fang will not dare to go too far.

As for the military salary in Nanlian City, since Gongsun Fang is unwilling to pay, then I will send it myself, and the first batch of rice will be almost ripe, just in time. However, you must let the soldiers below know that from now on, it will be me Jiang Buqi who will pay them food and salary, not Gongsun Fang! Jiang Buqi's gaze gradually sharpened.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely handle this matter. But ......" Zhu Wu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"If my brother has anything to say, just say it directly, don't worry about anything." Jiang Buqi said with a smile.

"In that case, then I'll say it. I hope that the lord will let people go to Yuzhang City to spread rumors, and at the same time, let people go to Jiujiang City to spread rumors, whether Li Shen believes it or not, he will definitely have thoughts about Yuzhang City. This is a ploy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf. ”

"Does this strategy work?" Jiang Buqi said suspiciously.

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "Li Shen has been peeking at Yuzhang City for a long time, if he only has a 10% probability of attacking Yuzhang City now, then after hearing this news, it will increase to at least 20%. The strategy does not have to be successful, as long as it can achieve certain results. ”

"Then do what you want."

After speaking, Jiang Buqi was lying on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed, and he didn't want to continue to discuss this issue. (To be continued.) )
