"Ding, after testing, your territory has reached the promotion standard, whether it will consume 100 million gold and resources to promote Xanadu City to a county seat."

"Sure."

The lord's stone tablet immediately burst into dazzling light, and he couldn't see, so that Lu Yao had to close his eyes. After a full thirty minutes, Guanghua suddenly returned to the stone tablet and completed the upgrade.

Xanadu City was promoted to the size of a county town, and its area skyrocketed again. This was followed by a sharp decline in the four basic indices across the board. This is the meaning of the title.

As the player's territory level increases, it becomes more difficult to increase the four basic indices. Among them, the city defense index, which is related to the safety of the territory, is particularly important.

The player's territory is getting bigger and bigger, but the area of Huaxia is fixed, which inevitably leads to conflicts between players. Either throw into the other party's command and become a dependent territory, or raise an army to fight and decide the male and female. This is one of them.

As the territory expands, random hidden dangers such as bandits and bandits will increase in the territory, which is also one of the factors affecting the city defense index.

Finally, the expansion of the territory will inevitably attract the malice of other forces of the same level. They are all players of the same level, HO is afraid of HO, and they will fight first.

The same goes for Paradise City. But fortunately, at the beginning, each family tried to steal the chicken and dump the pot to other families. As a result, Lu Yao was cheaper, and the remaining sporadic idle players were not opponents at all, so they had to move out of Zhu Ya, which was equivalent to giving Zhu Ya to Lu Yao.

In this upgrade, four-fifths of Zhuya Prefecture has become the sphere of influence of Xanadu City, and when it is promoted to the scale of the capital, it will radiate to the entire Zhuya Prefecture, and it will be completely under Lu Yao's banner.

In addition to the urban defense index, the other three major indexes need their own internal strength to improve. Fortunately, now that the title of rebel has been taken away by Xu Shao and other half-immortals, the talent refresh rate has returned to normal, and the rest is grinding time.

After briefly browsing the attributes of the current territory, Lu Yao shook his head.

The resource system has been completely opened, which has also led to a higher standard of upgrading. For example, this upgrade, fortunately, Xanadu City has a serious surplus of labor, and because of the imminent war, the focus of development has been adjusted in time to collect various resources. Precious resources such as golden silk nanmu, marble and so on are within the upgrade standard.

However, these can be used to hoard for a long time.

Lu Yao is more concerned about another aspect.

Promoted to the scale of a county town, the number of cities in the territory skyrocketed again, reaching three giant cities, nine large cities, twenty-seven middle cities and eighty-one small cities, as well as two hundred and forty-four town-level territories and seven hundred and thirty-two village-level territories, covering the entire territory of the current paradise.

The number of cities has skyrocketed, and even the original army of one million is far from enough. Aside from the 300,000 Southern Barbarians of the Vulture Bone, the 200,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry of Ma Chao, and the 100,000 cavalry of Ma Dai, there are only 400,000 defenders left to guard all places. The shortfall is as high as about 1.17 million.

The shortage of more than 1 million soldiers is not a small number, and the biggest problem in restricting recruitment is that the maximum number of reserve soldiers is only 100,000, which will take at least 10 days according to the ideal state. It's just the best state of the day. Usually hundreds of reservists are recruited every day. It can take months to recruit at full capacity.

Time, or time.

Lu Yao had a headache. The most important thing to lack now is time. However, this time the opponent obviously won't give him much time to calm down the rioters. At this moment, he inevitably remembered the title of rebel who was withdrawn by Xu Shao and other half-immortals. The deterrent feature attached to the title can at least allow Sun Quan of Eastern Wu to send troops for two months at night.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world.

After cleaning up his mood a little, Lu Yao refocused on the third aspect.

The two hundred and twenty billion gold obtained from the four allies such as the Blood Duke still have two hundred and one billion so far, and the ten billion gold earned through this big wedding blood is still 31 billion gold in total, but this money seems to be a lot, but it is only the beginning at present.

Recruitment costs money, this is a small head. The rewards promised to the generals and the ladies of the harem have not been given yet, and now they are ordered to go on the expedition, but they can't be delayed, this is also just a small head.

The real big deal lies in the purchase of various strategic resources.

What he lacks most now is time, relying solely on the output of the entire territory of Xanadu City is tantamount to a drop in the bucket. It needs to be purchased from Nakahara. The resource system has just been opened, and there is no standard price for all kinds of resources. Players would rather hide it than sell it cheaply, lest they regret it in the future.

It must be said that the players are all savvy people.

But it's not unreasonable. At that time, Huaxia didn't understand, and sold the rare earth ore like cabbage. Later, I learned the value of rare earth minerals, and people in Europe, the United States, Dongying and other countries have hoarded a lot of money, and they don't want to make money.

Both Eastern Wu and Western Shu have become hostile forces, and even if Zhen Yangui is one of the four major merchants, it is difficult to buy enough strategic resources from the two countries, so they can only go north along the coast and buy from Cao Cao's territory. This has greatly increased the cost.

However, black technology such as Shenhuo Flying Crow is a consumable, otherwise it would not be worthy of the name of black technology. 30 billion gold seems to be a lot, but when converted, the various strategic resources that can be purchased are much less out of thin air.

Time, money!

Lu Yao was annoyed. In the last life, he died a salted fish, and lived a muddy life. In this life, I understand how difficult it is to take care of a territory. There is a shortage of everything, and it was the same situation when China was founded.

Lack of time, lack of money.

Bitter or not, think about the 25,000 Long March. Thinking that Huaxia also came over like this at the beginning, Lu Yao suddenly had a clear thought. It is indeed not easy to sustain this big war, but it is not without a road.

The upgrade of the upgrade, the new creation of the new one.

Everything was taken care of, and Lu Yao re-entered the forum in order to grasp the first-hand information. Here I can't help but say that the forum is a good thing, and all kinds of gods haunt it.

If you don't have the strength, it doesn't matter, no one can stop me from having the heart of a strategic analyst.

Confirmed, unconfirmed, all kinds of information are available on the forum. There is even a great ability to synthesize all kinds of news and make a detailed prediction of this battle of Chibi.

The forum was lively, and the most popular was the Jiaozhou Chen family and Soochow teaming up to attack Xanadu City. Lu Yao ignored it. The second most popular is the movement of the forces of Wei, Shu and Wu.

Liu Bei was still calling on the two sides to be calm, and only sent Zhuge Liang as an ambassador, who was fully responsible for the communication between Wu and Shu. Sun Quan was still vigorously armed, while sending Lü Meng to lead the army to join forces with the Chen group to go to Zhuya, and on the other hand, he gathered heavy troops in Wu County, Huainan and Lujiang counties to resist the southward advance of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

However, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses did not move, I ate sweet potatoes and the thief ran quickly, and the two of them participated in the Northern Wei camp with a clear banner, and opened the prelude to the Battle of Chibi around the northern counties of Jingzhou and the two counties of Yangzhou Lujiang and Poyang.

For a time, all parties moved.
