Although the price of the elixir is not fixed, such as the Dragon Muscle Tiger Fetal Pill, which is suitable for low-level martial artists to condense the martial arts and improve the level of the martial arts and the heart, although the level is relatively low, the price is extremely expensive.

The grade of the elixir only indicates the lowest level of the user, not necessarily the higher the value of the higher grade, but also because the type and quality of the elixir are somewhat surprised.

But generally speaking, the price of the pill suitable for the use of more advanced martial artists and literati is higher.

The six-grade elixir all started with tens of millions of taels of silver, which was also the highest level of elixir that alchemists could refine at ordinary times.

Whether the seven-grade divine pill can be refined is no longer based on the level of alchemy, no matter how powerful the alchemist is, he does not dare to say that he will be able to refine the seven-grade divine pill, but depends on the number of luck, which can be said to be given by heaven, and people cannot force it.

For example, the seven-grade dragon python inner pill, the effect is equivalent to the seven-grade divine pill, and the price of hundreds of millions is difficult to trace.

Ten six-grade elixirs, how can they be worth 100 million silver taels, Yonghong knows that this is definitely the bottom line of the pills that Tiandanmen can come up with.

"Shui Zhenren rest assured, as long as Tiandanmen does its best to help the widow seize the world, the widow will naturally not regret what the widow promised, and when the widow ascends the throne, it will be the time when Tiandanmen becomes the state religion and is in charge of the heavenly master. ”

Shui Zhenren bowed slightly: "Our Tiandanmen has taken out so many elixirs, and we have to go all out to refine and replenish the Danku, in case of emergency, and I hope that the lord can send an elite army of 5,000 people to listen to the dispatch of Tiandanmen to help Tiandanmen search for elixirs and capture fierce beasts for alchemy." ”

Yonghong nodded: "The widow promised you!"

He then turned his gaze to the officials and generals present: "Although the widow has collected military salaries many times, the consumption of two million soldiers and horses is also extremely huge, and the national treasury is not much silver. ”

"This time I bought the armor from Tianshui County, and I hope you will help you, and after obtaining the armor, the widow will only leave 5,000, and the rest will be divided with you. ”

Unlike the Changding Army, Chu He, who is in sole control, the Sanzhou Coalition Army is a gate lord force, even if Yonghong is the lord of the Yizhou Army, it is difficult to forcibly drive the generals under his command.

Yonghong often needed to coordinate the interests of all parties before issuing orders, which made the operation of the three-state coalition extremely inefficient, and if it were not for the advantage of the terrain, it would have been captured by the Shu army long ago.

The officials and generals here all have powerful gate valve forces behind them to rely on, and Yonghong's words are naturally from the gate valve forces they represent.

The meaning is very straightforward, whoever takes out more materials will be able to get more steel soldiers.

The officials will naturally ponder at this time.

Don't look at their deep heritage, but the cost of feeding the army is extremely huge.

The most important thing is the class they are in, which determines that they can't casually attack other big scholars, and the objects of looting money and silver can only be those who don't have three meals, or rich businessmen like the Zhu family and the Yin family who have no background.

Moreover, because of the war, it was difficult to increase the output of rice and grain in the territory occupied by the Yizhou army, and the taxes collected did not increase much compared with the previous Yizhou place.

Therefore, although the Yizhou army has occupied a lot of territory and controls more than a dozen large counties in the three prefectures near Yizhou, the income is beyond their means, and it is also an extremely heavy burden for their family to take out tens of millions of taels of silver or even more at once.

Yonghong is not in a hurry, in times of war, steel soldiers are hard currency, don't look at 40,000 sets are very expensive, but from the perspective of the quality of steel soldiers, it can be compared with the second-grade divine soldiers, any set can be used as an heirloom of ordinary large households, he doesn't believe that the forces behind everyone are not moved.

Sure enough, the officials present pondered for a while, and then successively expressed that they were willing to help the lord, I 10 million and his millions, and finally the nine major families alone collected 130 million taels of silver.

In addition, Tongtianmen, a giant looking for food on the Tongtian River, also took out ten 8,000 warships and materials worth tens of millions of taels of silver, such as the golden scale dragon carp, Tongtian beads, Tianhe mussels, etc., which are special products of the Tongtian River.

The power of Tongtianmen is extremely huge, with tens of millions of ordinary gangs, 300,000 soldiers who can fight, hundreds of warships of all colors, countless small ships such as warships and flat-headed boats, and it is the main force of the sailors of the Yongzhou Army.

The Tongtian River is unusually wide, the depth is amazing, the huge waves in the river are monstrous, and the sea is no different, the warships in the river are all sea ship styles, a sea ship of 8,000 materials, complete weapons and equipment, and the value is definitely more than 500,000.

The two major sects on Nanhua Mountain, one is the Flying Sword Sect, the other is the Jinwu Sect, the strength is also extremely strong, the number of disciples is tens of thousands, this time the disciples who went down the mountain to join the Yizhou Army, there are more than 5,000 people, and the strength is above the second-grade martial arts, including the four elders of the six-grade realm.

Although the two sects did not take out silver and two materials, they each produced a four-grade divine weapon and treasure, one for the Zhaotian Banner and the other for the Star Dou Seal.

Needless to say, the value of the fourth-grade divine weapon is the strongest divine weapon that can be used by ordinary powerhouses below the seventh rank.

You must know that even the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu only used a pair of five-grade divine weapons Heavenly Falling Divine Hammers, if it was a person below the seventh grade, he would never dare to take out the five-grade divine weapon by chance to get it.

Once it is known by others, I am afraid that it will not be long before the seven-grade powerhouse will come to the door to ask for it.

Unless they are like Zhang Ning, they have enough background and strength to keep the divine soldiers.

If it weren't for Phoenix Yu taking refuge in Chu He, Shuangxing Cave told Meng Shu the news, and the Phoenix Divine Armor and Phoenix Bow were exposed, Meng Shu would definitely not let her go.

The two four-grade divine weapons taken out by the Flying Sword Sect and the Golden Wumen were worth more than 10 million taels of silver each.

For Chu He, exchanging two hundred and fifty sets of steel soldiers for a four-grade divine soldier is definitely an extremely cost-effective deal.

There are talents in the Changding army, and there are a lot of ordinary steel soldiers, but there is a lack of high-end divine weapons, such as Jiang Wei, that is, wearing the three-grade divine armor refined by the Changding army, the three-grade divine soldiers and the four-grade divine soldiers, the difference in power can reach ten times!

The money and silver materials collected by everyone add up to 200 million 67 million, and since Yonghong wants to account for 5,000 yuan, he can't pull out a dime, otherwise he won't be able to convince the public.

At that moment, Yonghong announced that he would take out 100 million taels of silver from the treasury, and the Yong family would pay another 30 million taels of silver to purchase 10,000 sets of steel soldiers and 400 million silver materials.

Yonghong summoned the generals this time, the most important thing is this matter, after all, the people present are all generals with 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of troops, and they can't leave the army for long.

Although Gao Tao and Yongtong picked up Deng Zitao together, they also left Yizhou at this time.

The 10,000 steel soldiers that Deng Zitao sold to the Yizhou army, Yuezhou must have no share, and Gao Tao must go back and discuss with Gao Ding to see how many steel soldiers he can get from Chu He.

The officials and their respective advisers and staff left, but Yongtong stayed, and after letting Yonghong retreat, he whispered to Yonghong: "Lord, there will be something to tell you at the end." ”

Yonghong knew that Yongtong let him retreat left and right before stepping forward to tell him, and he also knew that things were not simple, so he said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

Yongtong only then told the situation of Yin Xiu and the Yin family, and then said in a low voice: "Deng Zitao is a general from Chu He's personal guard, and he is deeply valued by Chu He. ”

"The people of Jiangwu Village were led away by the Chu River, and according to the investigation of the last general, Yin Xiu only appeared in Yizhou at that time, which can prove that the Chu River had escorted Yin Xiu back to Yizhou. ”

Yonghong frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Yongtong smiled slightly: "Why don't you let the people of the Yin family get in touch with Deng Zitao, and discuss the matter of armor with Chang Dingjun for the lord?"

"Since the Changding army has completely turned against Dashu, it will never watch Dashu open up the battle line through the Tianhe River, and this time the army is sold to join forces with our three states, and this is the reason. ”

Yonghong nodded: "This widow knows it. But even if my Yizhou army doesn't want this batch of soldiers, the Yellow Turban Army and the Southern Barbarian Army will never let go, even where Yuezhou and Qizhou are, they will definitely seek steel soldiers at any cost. ”

For the anti-Shu army, soldiers and horses are by no means a problem, and the bitter ha who is clamoring to be a soldier has gone to many seas, otherwise the Yizhou army will not be able to develop to the scale of two million soldiers and horses in a short period of time, and what is lacking is only rice and grain and armor.

If the Southern Barbarian Army and the Yellow Turban Army get more weapons from Chu He, relying on them alone, I am afraid that they will be able to stabilize the battle line of Tongtian River, and even swallow the three-state coalition army.

Chu He also saw this, so he offered the price of 40,000 sets of steel soldiers.

"What the lord said is very true. Yongtong agreed, "But it doesn't hurt to let the Yin family get in touch with Deng Zitao." Even if you can't manage to reduce the price of steel soldiers, you can still win more steel soldiers. ”

"As long as we can reduce the price of steel soldiers by two or three thousand taels of silver, our Yong family will not need to pay money and silver, or we can use it to buy additional steel soldiers. ”

Yonghong pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "You invite Yin Song and Yin Xiu here, remember not to alarm others." ”

Deng Zitao, the ambassador of the Standing Army, was naturally settled down by a good student, a large manor in the suburbs, and the guards were all the elite of the Qianyuan Guard brought by Deng Zitao.

To everyone's surprise, Deng Zitao saluted respectfully to a back figure at this time: "This is the situation of the Yizhou army, the last general has personally gone to the battlefield to check it out. ”

"The Shu army's offensive was extremely fierce, thousands of warships of all kinds continued to attack the Yizhou army formation on the bank of the Tongtian River, obviously the Shu army was frustrated on the side of the Southern Barbarian Army and the Yellow Turban Army, intending to concentrate forces to break through the Sanzhou coalition army and open a gap. ”

This broad back slowly turned around, looking extremely handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, it was Chu River Chu Qianyuan!

In the eyes of outsiders, at this time, Chu He had already led Qianyuanwei and Nanshanwei to the side of the Southern Barbarian Army, and no one expected that Chu He would appear in Yizhou City.

At this time, Chu He frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "If there is no steel soldier to help, how long do you think the three-state alliance army can resist the Shu army?"

Deng Zitao thought for a while: "It's hard to say, the last general let the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry look around, the number of Yizhou troops should be more than 1.5 million, and the so-called 2 million soldiers and horses are not much different, and the elite soldiers and horses are 800,000." ”

"Moreover, the sailors of the Yizhou army are extremely strong, and they have clashed with the sailors of the Shu army many times, even if the Shu army attacks with all its might, it will be difficult to break through the front of the three-state coalition army for a while. ”

"It's just that the news from General Jiang's side that the four-way army of the Shu army has been gathered, and soldiers and horses are constantly mobilized to this side, and on the other side of the Tongtian River, millions of elite soldiers and horses have been gathered, and the number of warships is also thousands. ”

Chu He rubbed his brows and fell into deep thought.

He did lead his troops to the camp of the Southern Barbarian Army at the foot of Nanhua Mountain, but then he quietly rode the Scorpion-tailed Tiger to the northeast to check the situation of the entire Tongtian River front, and finally secretly joined Deng Zitao.

After really checking the battle line of Tongtianhe, Chu He realized that the situation was not as ideal as the battle report said.

The Southern Barbarian Army and the Yellow Turban Army have recently won great victories one after another, the problem is that the war potential of the Shu Army is extremely terrifying, there is absolutely no shortage of armor or anything, and the lost soldiers can be quickly replenished, and even more and more, and now the three million troops are stationed on the other side, and there is little action, and it is estimated that they are just planning some big plans.

Chu He vaguely guessed that the Shu army's pressure into the Yizhou front was probably just a feint, and the real target was probably the Southern Barbarian Army under Nanhua Mountain.

After all, it was too difficult to capture the Tongtian River front defended by millions of soldiers and horses, and even if it could break through to the riverbank, it would soon be submerged under the encirclement and suppression of countless anti-Shu armies.

Nanhua Mountain is the birthplace of the Tongtian River, the water potential is relatively gentle, and there are many tributaries, which greatly disperses the defensive strength of the Southern Barbarian Army, and can also turn over the mountains of Nanhua Mountain, and attack the Southern Barbarian Army with surprise troops.

If the Southern Barbarian Army sniped the Shu army on the mountain range, it would lose the advantage of the terrain, and now the Shu army did not march from Nanhua Mountain on a large scale, I am afraid that it is just waiting for the soldiers and horses to adapt to the mountain battle.

Deng Zitao saw Chu He groaning, waited for a moment, and then said, "Why did the lord take half a year to deliver the armor and the three-state coalition army?"

"As long as the Tri-State Coalition provides enough iron to produce the Arsenal, plus the recently formed Third Arsenal, the needs of the Tri-State Coalition can be met in March. ”

"Or we can deliver it to the Tri-State Coalition Army in batches, so that they can attract more soldiers and horses from the Shu army and relieve the pressure on the Southern Barbarian Army. ”

Chu He shook his head: "The output of the steel soldiers can keep up, but you have to remember that the three-state alliance army is only forced to wait with us all the way due to the situation, in fact, even the Southern Barbarian Army and the Yellow Turban Army may not be of the same mind as us, if their strength increases too quickly, it will bring us great hidden dangers." ”

"What our army needs is the Shu army to consume each other with them, so that our army can take the opportunity to grow. ”

He sighed: "What we lack now is time, after all, the territory is too small, and I don't know if the situation on Aokiwei and Jiang Wuwei's side is going well." ”

"Also, Pinghaiwei's side, you have to speed up, and when you get the battleship from the Yizhou army, you can send it to Pinghaiwei quickly. ”

Deng Zitao nodded: "The last general knows." ”

"By the way, lord, how to deal with Zhang Jiao's side?"
