In the black water plug, Shang Ji sat alone in the hall of the town guard general's mansion.

Liu Yi had already led the army back to Wangquan County, and his previous excuse for going out was to lead the troops for training and could not stay for a long time. Liu Yi, as the general of the aboriginal army, could not act recklessly when the tiger power of the Han Dynasty still existed.

Once the news of his appearance on the grassland with his army leaked out, at least it would be a crime of leaving his post without permission, and in a serious case, it could even be said that he had provoked a border provocation without permission, which was not a simple crime.

Therefore, after Shang Ji led the army back, Liu Yi pretended to train the army, and then returned to Wangquan County, and even the spoils he deserved were temporarily stored in Shang Ji, and he would get it back when he found a suitable opportunity.

And Deng Yan is still busy dealing with combat weapons. A large number of herdsmen's cattle, sheep and horses cannot be properly handled in a short period of time, and the merchants asked themselves if they could not help in this regard, so they did not bother.

He's summing up the gains and losses of this battle!

On the army side, because of the news of Luo Duo's arrival, Shang Ji led the army to retreat overnight, so there were no new losses. However, after several battles, the surviving more than 1,000 Black Armor Xuanqi basically succeeded in advancing to the fifth order. When the injury recovers, it must be the sharpest sword in Shang Ji's hand!

In terms of personal strength, he broke through the bottleneck in the battle with Chenglu and advanced to the level of a second-rate military general in one fell swoop. Then he made a big fuss about the Nado clan's night banquet, and with the assistance of Liu Yi, he killed a first-class general-level Su Su and a large number of third-rate generals. This battle system is highly rated and directly rewards two points of force. Then there were many battles, and the force value increased a little more.

At present, Shang Ji's personal strength is 83+6, counting the force bonus of the Blood Eater Soul Gun and the official position of Sima of other departments, Shang Ji's strength is at the peak level of second-rate generals. Compared with the real combat effectiveness, the first-class generals who are not historical generals are not the opponents of Shang Ji in heads-up.

In addition to force, there has also been a huge increase in prestige. The reward of advanced second-rate generals, the elimination of four Xianbei towns, the killing of a large number of entry-level generals, and the results of various battles, Shang Ji gained more than 20,000 prestige in one fell swoop!

At present, the total reputation of Shang Ji has exceeded the 60,000 mark!

In addition, the biggest gain of this battle is merit! Nadorand's little marshal is self-appointed and has not been recognized by the Xianbei royal court, so his value is still at the level of an ordinary headman.

But the quality is not enough to make up the quantity, dozens of entry-level generals, many of whom are noble in Xianbei, these dozens of people directly provided Shang Ji with 200,000 meritorious points!

Because Liu Yi was not Shang Ji's subordinate, Liu Yi was considered an ally at that time, and he also took most of the merit points. Otherwise, Shang Ji's merit value income can be doubled!

Of course, if it weren't for Liu Yi to suppress the formation, Shang Ji would have been cut into pulp by Nadorand a long time ago. For Liu Yi's meritorious service, Shang Ji can also gladly accept it.

In addition to the dozens of mobile merit points, Shang Ji successively broke through three small and medium-sized towns, defeated tens of thousands of enemy troops in total, and captured a large number of Xianbei herdsmen. These bring huge economic benefits to the merchants, but also come with a lot of meritorious value!

Accumulated merit value income of 480,000! Coupled with the previous battle with the Jiegu Clan, the merit value of Shang Ji reached a terrifying figure of 600,000 in one fell swoop!

If it weren't for the fact that other official positions above Sima level required other harsh conditions, the official position of Shang Ji could be promoted by at least two more levels!

In addition to these things, Shang Ji's biggest harvest is the four "Town Hearts"!

Now that Shang Ji has basically determined, destroying Xianbei Yiluo can harvest a town heart. The four Town Hearts in Shang Ji's hands came from the four Xianbei Towns that were destroyed by Shang Ji.

However, there is still a big difference between the four town hearts. Three of them are small town hearts, while one is medium town hearts. Medium-sized, this one is from the Nado clan!

You must know that the Nado Clan's Euphoria is not the original one, but the Jiegu Clan's Euphem that was received after winning the Divine Challenge was renamed.

Three primary town hearts, Shang Ji didn't dare to expect each one to sell for a sky-high price of two million gold, but as long as each one could sell for 500,000 gold, it was enough for Shang Ji to laugh.

What's more, there is also the killer feature of the heart of the intermediate town, Shang Ji seems to have seen Yan Huang wash in vain and wait for him to slaughter again.

In addition to the personal harvest of the merchants, the generals under his command also gained a lot.

Several generals who fought in the grassland with Shang Ji were all advanced to third-rate generals. Of the few people who stayed behind in the black water plug, several of them successfully advanced.

In addition, Xiaohu, a supernumerary member of the Black Water Plug, was also successfully promoted to a third-rate general! A third-rate military general who is less than 14 years old makes everyone secretly speechless. Not surprisingly, Xiaohu has a high chance of being promoted to a super-first-class general like Liu Yi!

When Shang Ji was fighting on the grassland, the generals in the Black Water Plug were not idle.

Shang Ji's previous plan for the establishment of 2,000 black-armored Xuan cavalry, 2,000 giant axe soldiers, 2,000 heavily armored sword soldiers, 2,000 dragon bow cavalry, 1,000 Beidi strong crossbows, and 1,000 ordinary light cavalry was largely completed.

Except for the Dragon Archer, because Su Huan has been following Shang Ji to fight, and has not had time to supplement the training, the other armies have been trained!

Even Shang Ji continued to play the tradition of supernumerary, and there were three more reserve troops!

Not counting the secret agents in cloth, the number of troops under Shang Ji's command has finally exceeded 10,000!

Although there are only 10,000 people in number, in terms of overall combat effectiveness, they can definitely defeat an ordinary army of 50,000, and even 100,000 can fight with Zhizhi.

However, at present, the development of the merchant army has also fallen into a bottleneck.

The funds are very sufficient, even if the latest loot statistics have not yet come out, the previous accumulation alone is enough to maintain the current development of the Shang Ji army.

The main bottlenecks are in official positions and population.

The soldiers who expanded the army of Shang Ji were all recruited from Wangquan County, but Wangquan County was just an ordinary lower county, and the population of the county was only about 300,000, and it was an exaggeration to maintain 10,000 troops each of Shang Ji and Liu Yi.

Don't use containment language, don't think about recruiting troops from Wangquan County.

This is easy to solve, and it can be recruited from other nearby counties, except for the high cost point.

But the official position is more difficult to solve! Shang Ji's current official position is Sima, and he can recruit 10,000 people. Although it is possible to play a sideline game and over-compile in the name of reserves or people's husbands, the super-staffing of 3,000 has also reached the limit. Any more will easily cause trouble, after all, the majesty of the Han court is still there.

But now the official positions above Sima in other departments can no longer be exchanged for merit alone, and Zhang Xin has made it clear that the position of lieutenant needs to be recommended by the official position of the county guard.

And Shang Ji doesn't say that the county guard, even the ordinary county order doesn't know it. If you are not related to someone, why should others risk being implicated to recommend you?

At present, there are only three ways in front of Shang Ji, one is to be close to the county guard, and strive to win the favor of the county guard and get recommended; the second is to wait for the Yellow Turban Uprising to break out; The third is to go to Luoyang to take the path of the ten permanent servants and do the work of buying officials.

There is not the slightest psychological pressure in the heart of buying officials and businessmen, but taking this path has an extremely bad impact on reputation. Most of the famous historical generals will be disgusted with Shang Ji because of this, and it will be much more difficult to recruit historical generals in the future!

As a last resort, Shang Ji did not want to adopt this method.
