A busy and chaotic night passed.

Zhang Sheng, who had not slept all night, saw that the battle report in his hand was dripping blood, and he directly killed 1,080 last night, including 1,000 in Ren Changsheng's department and 800 in Jiaolong Village, which was the result of his intention to let the expeditionary force block the gun.

In addition to those killed in direct battle, 800 were seriously wounded and more than 2,000 were lightly wounded. It's okay to say that minor injuries can return to the battle sequence after a simple treatment, and the follow-up soldiers can change the wound medicine by themselves. More than half of the seriously injured were disabled, and after recovering from their injuries, they could only be discharged from the army, and the available soldiers fell directly below 9,000.

The only consolation is that the harvest is not bad, those fighting ships docked on the shore of the lake are not all crushed by the water fortress, but only a gap can provide fire support to the battlefield on the lake shore, so more than two-thirds of the fighting ships are intact.

The last count, sixteen!

His current situation is just the opposite of that of the expeditionary force, which has soldiers but no boats, and can only look at the lake and sigh, while Jiaolong Village has ships but no soldiers, and no matter how many ships there are, they cannot form combat effectiveness.

Moreover, these fighting ships are obviously inferior products made by the Demon Gate, and the ships are also loaded with some crude war equipment, which are far inferior to the ships equipped with the expeditionary military building.

Reorganize the defense line and dispose of the corpses of the demon army, and the demon pawn's horn territory has been saved a lot.

General Mu also sent news from the letter eagle that the plan was very smooth, and the expeditionary force had recaptured the batch of building ships that had been taken away by the demon army at the previous outpost, but these building ships were not enough to carry 30,000 troops and a lot of ordnance and supplies. No one knows how many people and horses the demon army has dispersed into the mountains and forests to collect resources, and the expeditionary force must not divide its troops, and the outpost is a lesson from the past!

Zhang Sheng wanted to give the newly acquired fighting ships to General Mu, but there was a garrison area in the abyss between the two sides.

"This is actually difficult to say, and simple to say." Ren Changsheng looked unfathomable.

"Please advise the General!" Zhang Sheng asked Ren Changsheng for advice on the issue of the population of the territory, and wanted to get a feasible solution, looking at it like this, Ren Changsheng really had an idea.

"Zhenyuan Town has been guarding here for almost two hundred years, and the soldiers in the army will inevitably have an old age, and the composition of the expeditionary force is also clear to the lords, except for the elites drawn from the various armies in the country, they are all criminals, if there is not enough meritorious service, even if they are discharged from the army and return to China, life will be very difficult."

"Isn't the lord on good terms with General Mu, if General Mu mediates and sets your territory as a designated resettlement place for veterans of the expeditionary force, then you can get a lot of population replenishment every year. Don't look at those veterans who are over forty years old, but their combat effectiveness is not low at all, and their combat experience is far from being comparable to those of those recruits. ”

After listening to Ren Changsheng's explanation, Zhang Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and the feasibility of such an operation was indeed very high.

The non-commissioned officers of the expeditionary force are divided into two kinds, one is the elite who are directly drawn from the major domestic legions, and even if this type of person only performs patrol tasks, until he returns home from the army, he will not have any less benefits. A criminal who joins the army needs to be able to wash away some of his crimes, but not all of them, and he also needs to have meritorious deeds, and he has been cleared of himself and his family......

There are not many ways to obtain meritorious services in Zhenyuan City on a daily basis, so many sinners can't wash away their crimes until they are discharged, and they can't redeem their families.

As long as these people are discharged from the army, and Zhang Sheng can take their families out, I believe that they are very willing to come to his territory to shine.

However, this operation is very labor-intensive, there are standards for non-commissioned officers to be discharged, as long as they reach the age limit, even if they can't clear their crimes, they can return to China, but those criminals who fail to join the army can't. It is difficult to take these people out, if there are people above to help operate, it is also possible for him to make this part of the merits, and even let some soldiers retire early.

The key is the upper-level connections!

"If General Mu is unwilling, An Pinghou can also help you." Finally, Ren Changsheng added another sentence.

Anping Hou! Zhang Sheng had some thoughts in his heart.

When Zhang Sheng was chatting with General Mu before, he also inquired about the situation of Anping Hou, after all, many things can't just be said by Ren Changsheng, but also certified in many aspects.

The family of Anping Hou Tianshu is far inferior to General Mu, and there is no doubt about his ability to come to this point. The entire Zhenyuan City's production workshop, a large area of spiritual fields, and mining areas are in his hands, and he deserves to be one of the four giants of Zhenyuan City.

But there is a huge problem with Tian Shu's power, in a huge military fortress, he has never had military power, so even if he controls the entire logistics industry, the right to speak will be at the bottom!

In Zhenyuan City, Tian Shu can only win over some generals like Ren Changsheng at most, who are unwilling at the bottom, and he does not have any help for his right to speak at the top, he wants to get involved in the military, but he will also be stopped by other factions, for so many years, he has gone through countless efforts but no progress.

Therefore, if Tian Shu wants to go further, he can only think of a way from outside Zhenyuan City, and more accurately, he is the lord of the expeditionary force!

Zhang Sheng is very self-aware, his territory is developing well, but it is only relative to the circle of the Heavenly Favorite, Tian Shu will win him over, but it is just an idle move.

Taking refuge in Tianshu may really be a good choice.

General Mu is going to return to China sooner or later, he doesn't have many connections in Zhenyuan City, he is fine when he is there, and once he leaves, he can leave him with a lot of limitations. If it was Tian Shu, he would be able to take out the families of the veterans at the lowest cost, and obtain higher-end technology and materials at the lowest cost.

Think about it again, when the time comes, go to Zhenyuan City to see if you can contact the governor Feng Xuan, if you can't hug the thigh of the new governor, then Tianshu is indeed a good choice, which can help the development of the territory to the greatest extent.

First of all, we should find a way to get rid of this policy of "designated resettlement places for veterans of the expeditionary force."

……

Wayao Village.

Fast, too fast!

Yue Liangsheng never expected that the invincible Abyss Demon Army would be defeated so quickly, and the expeditionary force was much stronger than he expected.

What is this called? As soon as he "took refuge" in the demon army, the expeditionary force came over, and it was piled up all the way, and the old nest was ended in a blink of an eye, leaving only some remnants scattered into the mountains and forests.

This is not a big deal, the demon army is gone, and it just so happens that he can be the lord of his expeditionary force again, but it's a pity that those demon pawns who Chen Sheng secretly bewitched him are laboring. He could still quibble about the surrender before, but it was absolutely impossible to gather the demon army, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only slaughter the good demon pawn and turn it into a successful one.

In this Moyuan riot, he swayed with the wind with one hand, and not only did his territory not suffer any losses, but in the end, he even earned a lot of feats, which can be regarded as a big profit. But......

"I'm leaving, and your territory will be returned to you." After another expeditionary force search team left Wayao Village, Chen Sheng said to him.

"Where is the general going?" Yue Liangsheng was shocked.

Although Chen Sheng overthrew him, Chen Sheng's ability was too covetous, and the guild had decided to give up Wayao Village to Chen Sheng and hold on to this golden thigh.

"Walk around, look everywhere."

"The general doesn't have to leave, this place can belong to you, when you need it, I will abdicate at any time to make way for Xian, and I will never drag the general back!" Compared to a territory that is about to die, it is obvious that Chen Sheng is more important, even if he can't be subdued, the benefits that can be obtained by fully supporting the other party are also considerable.

"Thank you for your trust, but there are too few people in this poor land." Chen Sheng shook his head, more importantly, this place is too close to Zhenyuan City, his current identity cannot be exposed, and once it is exposed, he will be in trouble.

This place can't carry his dreams, let alone let him rise, and if he stays for a long time, he will cause trouble.

"Then the general might as well consider going to the Great Liang Kingdom to develop?" Yue Liangsheng tried hard to persuade Chen Sheng, "The general also knows that there are many heavenly favorites who come to the Great Wilderness, and the heavenly favorites are different from those aborigines who are full of loyalty to the monarch and serve the country, and the force I am in has a lot of influence in the Great Liang Kingdom, and it will definitely help the general rise quickly!" ”

"Great Liang Country? I'll think about it. ”

From Yue Liangsheng's recent actions, Chen Sheng also has a certain understanding of the Heavenly Favor, a group of mercenary guys, and it is indeed a very suitable partner for him. As for faithfulness, does he need it? Not really!

But now is not the time to go deep into the Nine Kingdoms, it is not difficult to imagine that there must be a large number of strange people who are proficient in "fate divination" on the border of the Nine Kingdoms, and his identity cannot be covered in front of these people. At the very least, he needs to have a certain foundation before his tentacles can reach into the Nine Kingdoms.

"Then how are we going to contact the general in the future?" Yue Liangsheng was in a hurry, and there was no way to communicate with the guild in time.

"You take this, you will always see you again." Chen Sheng thought about it, and took out a piece of jade pendant that had just been carved from his body, the jade was a little rough, it was not a good jade, and the carving was quite ordinary, it was just a small thing to pass the time in his spare time, and it was now handed over to Yue Liangsheng as a token.

Anyway, it is also a large-scale Heavenly Favored Force, and it may be used in the future, and there is no loss in giving a token anyway.

"General, later, I'm ready to prepare."

"You don't have to prepare anything."

"Please be sure to wait, it won't be too long." Yue Liangsheng was anxious to communicate with the guild's think tank to see what solution could be given over there, so let Chen Sheng go, there would definitely be many people in the guild who would have a complaint.

Through the transfer of the forum, I got in touch with the guild, and the think tank was also convened at the first time, but unfortunately, it was impossible to give an effective solution in such a short time, and in the end, Yue Liangsheng could only give the guild's pattern and logo to Chen Sheng, which could be regarded as an exchange of tokens. In the future, all guild members will wear the guild logo carved with jade in a conspicuous position, or simply embroider it on their clothing, this step will be done sooner or later, but now because of Chen Sheng's problem, it has been advanced.
