Chapter 46: Expansion of the Army

Zhao Yun lived up to expectations and rushed out nearly 300,000 units of grain and grass from the ruins of Aoshi Tianxia Village within ten days, making the current grain storage in Xanadu Village exceed 500,000 units. The remaining hundreds of thousands of units of grain and grass were all wasted.

This is also one of the disadvantages of low-level provinces conquering high-level territories. Even if it is defeated, it will not be able to grab the maximum benefit.

Taking advantage of the fact that the current price of grain and grass is still at 5 copper per unit, Lu Yao exhausted the territory funds to purchase more than 400,000 units of grain and grass, and filled up 50 high-grade granaries.

With enough food and grass, Lu Yao immediately began to expand his army.

The first is the cavalry under Zhao Yun. In the First Battle of the World, more than 150 horses were captured in Xanadu Village. The harvest is quite impressive. Lu Yao did not hesitate, and directly asked Zhao Yun to make up for the limit of what the centurion could lead the troops, a hundred cavalry.

It has to be said that although cavalry is expensive, it is the most cost-effective type of troops. Scouting, patrolling, raiding and other operations, the cavalry has an absolute advantage. Especially in the battle of the world's village, the effect of the cavalry is incomparable. Otherwise, let alone capture the village that is proud of the world, you can't even break the gate.

Secondly, Lu Yao recruited another 120 archers. Fill up the number of one hundred to yourself, and the remaining fifty archers are all assigned to Cai Yan's banner. In this way, when going out on an expedition, Cai Yan can also command the archers to defend. The role of archers in defending the city is self-evident, and they are the absolute strongest soldiers.

One hundred and ninety soldiers were recruited, and the number of reservists in the barracks plummeted to fifty. Lu Yao did not hesitate, and recruited all the remaining fifty reserve soldiers into Pu Dao soldiers and distributed them to Li Daniu and Ding Yan.

After some expansion, Zhao Yun commanded one hundred cavalry. Lu Yao commanded a hundred archers. Cai Yan commanded fifty archers. Ding Yan commanded 100 Pu Dao soldiers, and Li Da Niu commanded 50 Pu Dao soldiers, for a total of 400 troops.

Expanding the strength to four hundred, Lu Yao relieved himself to upgrade the primary Liukou battalion.

Intermediate Rogue Camp: It can attract Rogue Bandits to settle in, refresh 50 Rogue Bandits every day, with a small probability of appearing Rogue Leader, and reduce the territorial security index by 30 points.

Ever since he got the blueprints for the construction of the junior rogue camp, Lu Yao has spent a lot of time researching how to make this special building create the most benefits. When Xanadu Village was promoted to level 2, due to the lack of troops in the village, he gave up the bright prospect of using the Liukou camp to increase the population, and never upgraded to the intermediate Liukou camp while upgrading the territory. Now that the total number of troops has reached 400, it is natural to upgrade to an intermediate-level Liukou battalion.

After the upgrade, Lu Yao looked at the attribute introduction of the intermediate Liukou camp, and couldn't help but be secretly afraid. Fortunately, there was no hot-headed escalation at the beginning. The number of rogues refreshed every day jumped from 10 to 50 per day. If you follow the previous strength, you don't have to do anything else, and it's enough to choke all day long.

The Rogue Camp is a double-edged sword.

The rogues in the camp are refreshed every day, as well as in the wild, and the rogues who gather here make a living by raiding everywhere. If they are not cleaned up in time, these rogues will wander around, wreak havoc on the farmland of the territory and other aspects, and there may even be major hidden dangers like Ding Yan at the beginning.

But on the contrary, the Liukou camp is also an important source of increasing the population and even gaining military generals. The junior rogue camp will only refresh ordinary rogues, which is basically slightly higher in quality than the outcasts. Upgraded to the Intermediate Rogue Camp, there is a small chance that a general-level Rogue leader will appear among the Rogue Bandits that are refreshed every day. This kind of rogue boss can also be recruited. In contrast, the probability of a military general appearing among the outcasts refreshed by the territory itself is not as high as that of the mid-level rogue camp.

After upgrading the intermediate liukou camp, Lu Yao immediately led the team to clear up. Cai Yan has just joined Xanadu Village, and he has no military rank yet, so he needs to earn meritorious deeds.

In the following time, Xanadu Village developed well. Ding Yan was in charge of internal affairs and was well organized. Zhao Yun was in charge of military affairs, and after brushing up the liukou every day, he led the team out to inspect the south. Cai Yan focuses on private school, and her small life is just right for her, a young scholar. So Lu Yao was left alone to continue to face the harassment of the snow and black horses every day, and he couldn't do anything, so he could only be a porter and put the two specialties purchased from the primary market on the trading platform. The only thing that gives him comfort is that the sales of the two specialties are quite good.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses.

The establishment of the primary market heralded the opening of private ownership. Player lords do not have full control over various resources as they used to. But not that the power of the lords was curtailed. On the contrary, as the territory develops, the mentality of the villagers will also change as in reality. The continued implementation of the public ownership system will greatly affect the villagers' enthusiasm for production, thereby reducing the speed of resource acquisition. It was changed to private ownership, and the enthusiasm of the villagers increased greatly. The amount of resources obtained may be much lower than the original in a short period of time, but with the development of the territory, it will gradually shrink, equalize or even surpass. This is an objective law.

Lu Yao sat at the stone table in the front yard of the Lord's Mansion, writing down the plan he had made that night. After a while, he stopped his pen and took a deep breath: "It should be almost." ”

After the opening of the previous life list system, it was announced that the first and last public battle, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, had begun. After the list is opened, there will be a period of skyrocketing in the number of displaced people in various places. This is also a buffer period for the player, which greatly increases the population of each province and makes it easier for the player to recruit more troops. Avoid falling the player's territory into the Yellow Turbans at the beginning of the campaign.

This period will last until the beginning of 184, half a year after the game's launch. When the Spring Festival is over, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will officially appear. At that time, it is also the best time for players to earn reputation points.

Fame represents the player's reputation among NPCs. The higher the reputation, the easier it is to gain the favor of NPCs. Fame has been earned throughout the game's history, and is only earned during battles.

Lu Yao also figured it out. The Taiping technique has been obtained for a long time. The three volumes of heaven, earth and man have always only had three kinds of lightning strikes, circular formations and archers. However, the current experience of the Taiping Surgery Note is not experience value, but reputation value.

As the first and last public battle, the significance of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is to complete the first reshuffle. The territories that survived this battle will become the main territories in the future. In other words, player lords who cannot survive this campaign will have to choose to join other players or NPC factions. Otherwise, the long twenty-year interstellar journey will be empty, and there will be no money to settle down when you reach your new home.

As for the players who entered the game after the Battle of the Yellow Turbans...... At that time, the game was really open, and there were many opportunities, so it was up to us to see if we could seize them.

Lu Yao also pinned his hopes on this public campaign. His goal was simple, to preserve the territory. At the end of the battle, it was also the time for the global human race to board the starship. Then his greatest wish has been completed. Parents can also have a stable living environment.

"My lord."

At this time, Zhao Yunfeng hurriedly walked into the lord's mansion and interrupted Lu Yao's thoughts: "More than three hundred kilometers to the southeast, I found an alien territory. ”

Lu Yao asked incredulously: "More than three hundred kilometers? ”

Zhao Yun nodded affirmatively: "Yes, that Inhuman territory is more than three hundred kilometers away in the southeast. And there seem to be signs that a large army is being gathered. Helplessly, the other party is on strict guard, and there is no way to investigate deeply. ”

"Not good." Lu Yaohuo stood up and ordered: "The whole army immediately prepares for war, go and call Gongyu to come over to discuss the military situation." ”

"The last will be ordered."
