"Three artifacts, the statue of the god of the sea, and the architectural drawings of the Tongquetai, these things are bound to be obtained, you can prepare!"

"The women understand that the general can ask for all the Zhen collections at will. As for the final bidding price, the general only needs to pay the starting price. In addition, if the auction items are not owned by Zhen's, we will do our best to provide the best bidding environment for the general, and ensure that the general wins the auction at the lowest price. ”

Regarding Shang Ji's domineering request, Zhang did not protest at all, and assured quite respectfully.

"Well, that's it for now, let's go down first!"

Seeing that the Zhang family was so upright, the fire in Shang Ji's heart also dissipated a lot, and he nodded and sent her away.

The official auction began in five days, and Shang Ji certainly wouldn't be staying in Lady Zhang's City. Mrs. Zhang's city is not far from Lulong Fortress, so Shang Ji simply took people to Lulong Fortress directly, and he was entitled to inspect the defense.

Speaking of which, since the last time he "bought" the Lulong Fortress from the local defenders at a low price, Shang Ji has never come to the Lulong Fortress in person.

led a thousand elite horsemen, and it took half a day to rush to Lulong Fortress, and found that compared with before, Lulong Fortress was more magnificent and magnificent, and its defense was more outstanding!

This is naturally the credit of Deng Yan.

Although the early Lulong Fortress was in a strategic location, with the character of Emperor Ling, it would be good not to deduct the military salary of the Lulong Fortress, let alone allocate special funds for repair and maintenance.

After Shang Ji took over, he attached great importance to this west gate of Pingzhou. A large amount of money, food and materials have been allocated here, and after two years of continuous investment, the overall defense capability of Lulong Fortress has reached a higher level.

Lulong Fortress is not a single fortress, it is a collective name for a group of fortresses. Relying on the topography and topography, hundreds of large and small fortresses together form Luronse.

The terrain here is extremely complex and diverse, making it difficult to launch a large-scale corps attack. Even large siege equipment was difficult to transport.

The strong fortress with the arrow towers like a forest, coupled with the elite army, if you want to break through the Lulong fortress head-on, you don't have to try it without more than five times the number of troops.

At present, the total number of troops stationed in the Lulong fortress group has exceeded 600,000, and the largest fortress, Lulong Fortress, has a full 200,000 elite troops stationed in it.

In addition, Lingzhi, Feiru, Haiyang and other surrounding counties are also heavily garrisoned, and this small area in western Liaoning has more than one million troops.

According to the latest military deployment formulated by Liu Yi, 1.5 million elite troops need to be hoarded around the Lulong Fortress to guard against possible threats from the west.

Naturally, so many troops are not simply used to defend against Gongsun Zhan. In terms of Gongsun Zhan's strength, putting 500,000 troops in Lulong Fortress is enough to block Gongsun Zhan's eastward advance.

The reason why we want to settle 1.5 million troops is more to pave the way for the national war.

The duration of the war is undecided, and no one knows how long it will last. If a dozen is three or five years, no one can guarantee where the situation in Huaxia will go.

Five years later, it is not surprising that there will be a "discussion among the princes of the Eighteen Routes", and in order to prevent accidents, it is necessary to strengthen the defense capability of the western region of Pingzhou, and even if the situation really collapses, it will not be caught off guard.

He stayed in Lulongsai for three days, inspected the terrain of mountains and rivers everywhere, met with officers of the rank of Sima and above stationed in Lulongsai's other departments, talked and exhorted them one by one, and gave some money, pills, materials and other rewards to those who had made outstanding achievements.

The main purpose, of course, is to see the loyalty of the officers.

As I said before, if you want to check your loyalty in the Beacon Fire, even your direct subordinates who have already recognized the Lord must do so in front of you. Shang Ji did not come to Lulongsai for a long time, and lacked understanding of the loyalty of the generals in Lulongsai.

Usually it's nothing, at least Lu Longsai's main generals are Shang Ji's hardcore henchmen, but now that he is about to participate in the national war, he can't rest assured if he doesn't find out who is Shang Ji himself.

The military general responsible for Lu Longsai's defense is Fang Yue, who is the "famous general of Hanoi" who was killed by Lu Bu in five rounds in the romance.

In fact, Fang Yue's combat effectiveness is okay, an A-level general, barely worthy of the title of "Hanoi Famous General". Otherwise, he would not be regarded as a confidant by Wang Kuang. It's just that he was unlucky and met Lu Bu who was at his peak, so he became cannon fodder.

In the entire Three Kingdoms, there are not many who can take Lu Bu's five moves unscathed!

Although Fang Yue has been defecting for a short time, his loyalty is not low, although he is not as good as Liu Meng, Su Huan and other die-hard henchmen who have always been fixed at one hundred loyalty, but they are also hovering around ninety, which is quite a reliable number.

In addition to Fang Yue, there is also a non-historical military general, Liu Shan. Liu Shannai is one of the many generals trained by Shang Ji himself, and his combat power is not as good as Fang Yue's, but his loyalty is beyond doubt. As Fang Yue's deputy, he assisted Fang Yue in managing Lu Longsai, and at the same time served as a check and balance.

The results of the loyalty probe made Shang Ji very satisfied. There are nearly 200 officers above Sima level in the Lulongsai Division, and their loyalty is basically above seventy-five, which is already a considerable number.

If the army stalls are too large, the average loyalty will naturally decrease, and most of them can be guaranteed to be above seventy-five, and Shang Ji is already very pleased.

The results of the inspection were good, and Shang Ji's mood naturally improved.

Summoned Fang Yue, Liu Shan and others stationed in Lu Longsai, encouraged them, rewarded them with some money and pills, and encouraged them to be diligent in military affairs, vigilant against the border and guard the west gate of Pingzhou.

After inspecting Lu Longsai, Shang Ji led the crowd back to Lady Zhang's City, and the auction was about to begin.

………………………

Time flies, and the auction officially begins.

In the days after Shang Ji left, several more treasures were sent for consignment, among which the most valuable was the artifact Qingyu Sword sent by Lu Zhi.

It seems that Lu Zhi's life is not having a good time, and the artifacts have been put up for auction.

There were a lot of people who came to participate in the auction, and Zhen had prepared more than 8,000 high-grade items and hundreds of heaven-level items, and this kind of large-scale auction could not be completed in one day.

According to the plan, the auction will last for three days. According to the valuation of the auction items, more than 8,000 pieces of the collection were auctioned in the three grades of heaven, earth and people.

Zhen's long-prepared auction will naturally not have any bargains of a few gold and dozens of gold, and that kind of thing is not shameful enough. With more than 8,000 pieces of collections, the starting price is not less than 1,000 gold!

And the starting price between 0 can only appear in the lowest level of character stores. There are 10 auction houses of this level. Over the course of three days, ten auction houses will be auctioned at the same time, and most of the more than 8,000 pieces will find buyers here.

Collections with a starting price of 00 are eligible to go to the prefecture-level auction. The number of prefecture-level auction houses is slightly smaller, only three, and about 20% of the collection will find owners here.

As for the heaven-level auction hall, there was only one in the whole venue. Those who are eligible to be auctioned in the heaven-level auction hall are all high-end goods, and the prices of many auction items cannot be estimated at all.

The auction items of the three levels of heaven, earth and man are different, and the guests they receive are naturally different.

There is no status requirement for the lowest human-level auction house, as long as you can prove that you have more than 1,000 gold in assets and put up one gold to buy tickets, you are eligible to participate in the auction.

And the prefecture-level auction hall has identity requirements, small and medium-sized families, leaders of large mercenary teams, small accomplished lord players, some prestigious literati and scholars, and so on.

The highest level of heaven auction houses is even more demanding. Princes of all walks of life themselves or representatives, famous generals Hongru, leaders of super-large player forces, wealthy families with a long heritage, officials at the level of a thousand stones or above, etc.

Any one who can enter the heaven-level auction hall is not an unknown person.

Of course, at this critical juncture, not a few princes were too idle to come to the auction in person.

Generally, those who come are the henchmen of the princes, for example, Yuan Shao sent his nephew Gao Gan, Dong Zhuo sent his brother Dong Min, and Yuan Shu directly sent his son Yuan Yao out.

It can be seen from the selection of representatives that this time all the princes adopted the strategy of "cronyism". After all, the people who participated in the auction had a lot of money in their hands, and they needed to guard against the possibility of absconding with the money!

However, there are not no genuine princes, such as Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian!

Although the city was destroyed in the end, Lu Bu lost a golden opportunity to occupy the royal city. But in the battle of Xianbei, Lu Bu can also be said to have made a lot of money.

For the western Xianbei, Lu Bu knew that he was unable to rule effectively at all, so he directly adopted the method of killing chickens and taking eggs. Will survive the last few in the west, Xianbei in the west plundered again.

Although this method was a loss in the long run, it allowed him to accumulate a large amount of material goods in a short period of time. Relying on these, several counties in the northern part of the state were reorganized, the army was expanded, and the strength increased greatly.

Even at the suggestion of Chen Gong, he took the opportunity of the great victory over Xianbei to exercise the duty of protecting the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, and rectified the Southern Xiongnu who gradually had a heart of disobedience.

The Southern Xiongnu had to disband the tribal army under the pressure of Lü Bu's heavy troops, and at the same time accept the protection of Lü Bu's army. Lü Bu also followed Shang Ji's practice and scattered the disbanded Southern Xiongnu army into the army, making its total strength break through to 2.5 million.

With his back to Lu Zhi, the big tree was not mixed with sand by Dong Zhuo. Compared with the princes who were caught in the power struggle, Lu Bu's small life was quite comfortable. Lu Bu, who was idle, came to the auction in person.

In addition to Lu Bu, half of the princes came in person. The reason why he said half is because he is in a special situation. This person is the boss on Yan Huang Ming's face, Yan Huang Sharp Blade!

Not only is the Yanhuang Blade coming, but all the high-grade player forces in the Huaxia District are here, and they are all the leaders of the forces in person!

Of course, Shang Ji or Zhen didn't have such a big face to recruit all the leaders of the player forces in Huaxia District, and what really worked was Yan Huang, or the national war convening order issued by Yan Huang!
