In the blink of an eye, it has been three days since Yi Han came to the Hungarian Fortress. For three days, Yi Han had been busy dealing with the problem of the fortress, but in the face of the specific situation of the fortress now, Yi Han's brows were also tightly wrinkled.

First of all, on the issue of the strength of the fortress, after Yi Han's careful checking, it was found that the remaining troops of the Hungarian fortress were now less than 20,000. Moreover, among the 20,000 soldiers, there are more than 7,000 seriously wounded and more than 6,000 lightly wounded, which means that the existing strength of the Hungarian fortress that can fight is only a little more than 6,000.

In addition to these, the two border cities on the east and west sides of the Hungarian Fortress are also places that give Yi Han a lot of headaches. Although yesterday, with the help of Nie Xia and the others, two small cities have been recovered. But everything in the city has been destroyed by the demon spirit, and the most important granary has also been burned by the demon spirit. As for the soldiers defending the city, they were all killed when the city was broken. And now in the two small cities, there are only 500 defenders in each of them.

In addition to the above problems, Yueyi Town, in the northeast of the fortress, is also a headache for Yi Han. In order to protect Yueyi Town, Ling Huxian once sent a thousand soldiers to garrison there. Although before the Demon Soul attacked the fortress in a big way, Ling Huxian also received a message from Yueyi Town. However, after the war continued to deteriorate, the fortress completely lost contact with Yueyi Town.

The shortage of soldiers, the placement of the sick and wounded, and the shortage of food are the three most important problems that plague the cold-prone places. The food was originally sufficient at the beginning, but later on, due to the large number of refugees in the fortress and the fact that the follow-up food could not be delivered in time after the war, the food suddenly became insufficient.

Looking at Yi Han, who was sitting on the handsome seat and constantly rubbing his forehead, Ling Huxian's heart was also anxious. After pondering for a long time, Ling Huxian stood up and hugged his fist at Yi Han and said, "Marshal, what should we do about the current situation?" ”

Raising his head and looking at Ling Huxian in front of him, Yi Han thought about it for a while and said, "Let's solve the problem of eating first!" Take me to the granary to have a look." ”

Looking at the almost empty granary, Yi Han asked Ling Huxian beside him: "Now that the soldiers and the consumption of refugees, what is the amount of food needed every day?"

"Now there are about 50,000 refugees and soldiers in the city. If it is only barely maintained, it will need at least 20,000 catties of food every day. ”

After listening to Ling Huxian's answer, Yi Han thought for a moment and said: "It takes 20,000 catties to barely sustain itself, so if you want to be full, you need at least 40,000 catties of food every day! You immediately send someone to find three hundred able-bodied, male refugees who come here to help carry the food. After saying this, Yi Han took out a Rongkong Stone and began to take out the food raised on the road inside.

When Yi Han went out to get food, Ling Huxian also quickly asked the soldiers to gather three hundred male refugees and rushed here. Subsequently, under the command of Ling Huxian, these refugees transported the 300,000 catties of grain taken out by Yi Han to several granaries in the fortress.

In fact, after Yi Han learned the news that the Hungarian fortress was besieged, he immediately thought of the problem of food. After that, he mobilized nearly two million catties of grain in the cities along the way, and as for why he only took out 300,000 catties now, there were his own considerations.

After solving the problem of food, Yi Han ordered Linghu Xian beside him: "Pass on the order of the marshal, the people in the city who have surplus food at home are not allowed to receive food from the army. Ordinary people or refugees of the city, who are between fourteen and sixty years of age, of sound limbs and free of disease, shall be assigned to assist in the care of the wounded and repair the city walls, and shall not receive food for those who do not obey the order. There is only one principle, to give the soldiers as much rest as possible. ”

After listening to Yi Han's order, Ling Huxian said with some hesitation: "Isn't it a bit bad to let refugees work?"

"It's better than losing your life!" Glancing at Ling Huxian, who was embarrassed, Yi Han continued: "There is no free lunch in the world, if you blindly accommodate them, it will only make them lazy. If there is a person who disobeys the military order and picks quarrels and provokes trouble, he will be punished according to military law. Now the trimming of the soldier comes first. Refugees only need to work, but soldiers have to fight hard. Hmm...?Another military order. Refugees and civilians involved in labor can be given a subsidy of thirty to one hundred copper coins depending on the amount of labor they work each day, which can also give them some motivation. ”

After listening to Yi Han's words, Ling Huxian also completely understood his intentions, and then Ling Huxian did not delay any longer, and immediately conveyed Yi Han's order just now to everyone in the city.

After solving the problem of food, Yi Han took out another Rongkong Stone and handed it to Ling Huxian.

"There were 300,000 gold coins, and some silver and copper coins. You yourself are in charge of giving some of this money to the soldiers and some of it to the pensions of the fallen soldiers. As for the rest, let's use it as a subsidy for refugees!"

After Ling Huxian left, Yi Han returned to the fortress's city defense marshal's mansion alone. However, along the way, Yi Han's brows never relaxed, because many wounded problems were still bothering him.

"It hurts... Sister Zixin, let go of my ears!" Xiao Tianxing's voice came from a room in the backyard of the Shuai Mansion.

"Who do you want to give that ring to?How many girls do you know?" Nie Zixin asked in the tone of a little daughter-in-law.

"You care about me! I make things that I love to give to whomever I want. Loosen my ears. Xiao Tianxing answered Nie Zixin's question in a stubborn tone.

"If you don't say it, I won't let go!" Nie Zixin said equally stubbornly.

"If you don't let go, I'll spank your ass!"

Hearing Xiao Tianxing's threat, Nie Zixin subconsciously touched her buttocks, and then said without showing weakness: "You dare!

"Okay, that's what you said!" "Ahhhhhhhh You little whore, what are you touching around!" "Ah! and scold me for being a little whore." I—" "Bang!" "Ahhh Stop!" There was a commotion in the room at the moment, and the reason for all this started three days ago.

It turned out that after the battle at the head of the city three days ago, several soldiers saw that Xiao Tianxing liked the transparent spars dropped from the demon soul, so they gave him some of the spars they had collected. However, Xiao Tianxing's character is that he has never taken other people's things for nothing. So after asking Yi Han for some money, Xiao Tianxing bought the transparent crystals in the hands of these soldiers at the price of forty-five gold coins.

Seeing the money that Xiao Tianxing took out, several soldiers were immediately dumbfounded. At first, they picked up the hedrons, just because they thought they looked good and wanted to take them home and give them to their children or wives. But they never expected that Xiao Tianxing would actually pay for these spars, and the price was so high. You must know that they can only earn two gold coins after a month of hard work, and the money from the sale of these spars is actually worth the sum of their salaries for several half a year.

Seeing that Xiao Tianxing actually bought the spar at such a high price, for a while, all the soldiers in the city who owned the spar sold the spar on hand to Xiao Tianxing. At this time, Xiao Tianxing also learned that these soldiers had already chosen a name for this transparent small spar. Since these hedrons were dropped from demon souls, the soldiers gave these small hedrons the name 'soul crystals'. However, these soldiers didn't know that after Xiao Tianxing developed the value of the 'soul crystal', its value had increased tenfold.

It took three days and a thousand gold coins to buy all the soul crystals collected in the entire fortress. And after acquiring these soul crystals, Xiao Tianxing went into his room with a bunch of soul crystals. And Nie Zixin, out of curiosity, also followed up with Xiao Tianxing's room.

Xiao Tianxing did not object to Nie Zixin's follow-up, but asked her to stay to help herself.

After taking out all the soul crystals, Xiao Tianxing opened the dragon pupil in his left eye and began to carefully observe the quality of each soul crystal. As for Xiao Tianxing's dragon pupil, Nie Zixin already knew about it as early as Su Shang who came to the Hun Fortress, so she didn't feel too surprised.

With the opening of Xiao Tianxing's dragon pupil, a pale yellow light also emanated from his dragon pupil, enveloping the soul crystal in his hand. With the pale yellow light wrapping, an extremely negative energy also emanated from the soul crystal in Xiao Tianxing's hand, and then these negative energies disappeared in an instant under the illumination of the pale yellow light emitted by the dragon pupil.

After clearing out the negative energy in these soul crystals, Xiao Tianxing's dragon pupils continued to emit pale yellow flesh and light, and then a magical scene happened. These soul crystals, which were the size of soybean grains in Xiao Tianxing's hands, actually began to fuse, and gradually turned into soul crystals with a diameter of one centimeter.

After completing the fusion of these soul crystals, Xiao Tianxing took out some tools and began to make these soul crystals in front of him into exquisite ornaments.

Looking at Xiao Tianxing's serious appearance of making jewelry, Nie Zixin was also very happy and happily touched the earrings she was wearing on her ears. Because at this moment, she knew that this pair of earrings was made by Xiao Tianxing herself.

The last ornaments made of soul crystals appeared in front of Xiao Tianxing. Subsequently, Xiao Tianxing selected a bracelet made of twelve soul crystals among this batch of soul crystal jewelry and gave it to Nie Zixin.

Very happily put the bracelet on her hand, Nie Zixin happily kissed Xiao Tianxing's face.

Just as Nie Zixin looked at the bracelet on her wrist with a happy face, Xiao Tianxing also took out the soul crystal the size of a pigeon's egg. And this also constituted the cause of the conflict between the two.
