Chapter 3 Cities
According to A Niu's requirements, Sun Liang and others needed to expand Fengxiang City's troops to 20,000 within half a month. Fengxiang City has enough spare population, and the source of troops is not a problem, and there are enough weapons and equipment. However, recruiting nearly 10,000 new recruits will cost a lot of money, which is a huge test for Fengxiang's current financial situation.
Moreover, the military expansion measures are not a one-time expenditure. The soldiers' salary is much higher than that of ordinary residents and the expenses are quite high. Therefore, unless in special circumstances, it is difficult for most lord players to maintain maximum strength in their territory, and financial resources are not allowed to recruit so many troops.
A Niu did not ask too much about how Sun Liang solved the funding problem, but focused on the structure of the troops.
During the period when A Niu left the territory, due to the constraints of population limit, Sun Liang spent most of his precious spare places on resettlement of craftsmen, and a large number of refugees in the refugee camp were unable to enter the selection process of the military camp. This resulted in almost no troops added to the territory in the past two months and he was still on the spot.
The current military force composition of Fengxiang City (excluding the military force):
Crash camp: 508 people.
First climb the Dead Soldier: 1102 (Liangzhou).
Shanzi Camp: 5,000 people (of which two thousand were stationed in Luoyang with Zhou Tai, and there were actually only three thousand soldiers in Shanzi Camp in Qingzhou).
Canglan Navy: 1,000 people.
Feiyi Camp: 506 people.
Shanzi Ying Liangzhou: 1,000 people.
Thunder Cavalry: 1,000 people (Liangzhou).
A total of 10,116 people are distributed in Qingzhou, Liangzhou and Luoyang. Among them, Canglan Navy also needs to be dispatched frequently to Youzhou to transport trade materials. After deducting the share of the navy, Fengxiang actually has a total force of only over 9,000, which is evenly distributed to Qingzhou, Liangzhou and Luoyang. The force in each place is only 3,000!
An ordinary second-level city territory has an army of 10,000 people. Fengxiang City, which is divided into three places, may even be frustrated by the troops of a second-level city. When recalling the more than 100,000 elite Yellow Turban Army troops faced in the Battle of Luoyang, A Niu couldn't help but sigh, "There are too few troops!"
Expanding the army is imperative!
Among Fengxiang's troops, three special troops were trapped in the camp, Feiyi Battalion and the Xiandeng Dead Soldiers, because they had high requirements for the quality of the soldiers and the speed of replenishing the troops was very slow. Aniu had never set any restrictions on the expansion of these three troops. As long as Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, and Ju Yi were willing to accept it, Fengxiang would be welcomed. Therefore, in fact, this large-scale expansion has nothing to do with these three troops.
The only objects that really need to be expanded are the Shanzi Camp, Canglan Navy, and Thunder Cavalry. Among them, the Shanzi Camp is the most special. Currently, the Shanzi Camp with a total of 6,000 people is stationed in three places, and no unit is like this.
A Niu is not worried about the safety of Luoyang now. Fengxiang’s move to rebuild Luoyang is in line with the heavens. Lu Zhide, who served as the prefect of Luoyang, is highly respected. The reconstruction work is subject to written permission from Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. The power of the princes as powerful as NPC had to give some face. The battle of Luoyang more than two months ago made Fengxiang’s name “Iron Army” spread all over the country, and even Yuan Shu was severely humiliated. In a short period of time, no one would be so unhappy to stroke the tiger’s beard.
The soldiers of the two thousand mountain camp, plus the allied troops of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City, Luoyang should be fine.
As for the Liangzhou special territory, it is equipped with the first-dragon dead soldiers led by Ju Yi, the Thunder Cavalry led by the super fierce general Li Jin, and the Shanzi Battalion with a thousand people as a regular force, which can be said to be a brave soldier. Longfei City is located at the mouth of Babao Valley, and Chen Gong's fortress plan has begun to take shape. The defense of the special territory may be described as "fierce".
However, Fengxiang is not just a Longfei City in Liangzhou, but also three affiliated territories located outside Babao Valley, including the Blacksmith Production Base Tie Hammer Town, which cannot be missed in defense. With a little force to protect one city and three towns, the lack of military strength is also very obvious.
Since the battle against Babao Valley, no problems occurred in Longfei City in terms of safety, but A Niu dared not be lucky. Once there was a rise, the consequences would be unimaginable. You should know that the Thunder Cavalry led by Li Jin was not stationed in Longfei City for a long time. In order to train an elite cavalry, the Thunder Cavalry often went deep into the Huns' prairie to train troops, and many times were not in the territory.
A Niu did not draw any conclusions about how much military power in Liangzhou's territory needs to be expanded, and Chen Gong's attitude is decisive.
A Niu quickly contacted Chen Gong through the Five Rats of Jincheng. Only by first clarifying the problem in Liangzhou, the scale of Qingzhou's military expansion operation was about to emerge.
When Chen Gong heard the news that a city lord was preparing to expand his army, he was surprised. It was not his opposition to expand his army. "We have such a large expense recently, and our income has not been greatly improved. Do we have so much funds to support the expansion of the army in the territory?"
After all, it was through the Five Rats of Jincheng, and many things were not as convenient as the two of them face to face. Chen Gong was just rotten in his stomach and did not mention it. In his opinion, since A Niu had this plan, it was obvious that the financial problem should have been solved.
"Lord, in fact, Liangzhou should have reorganized its military equipment for a long time. My subordinates thought that the capital turnover of the territory is very tight now. Our craftsmen in Liangzhou have not yet achieved profits. Instead, they have received a lot of money from the territory because of the fortress construction, so it is really hard to mention the expansion of the army. Since the lord has asked now, my subordinates hope to expand the Shanzi camp by 3,000 people. As for the issue of the Thunder Cavalry expanding the army... Let's talk about it later." Chen Gong said happily.
The expansion of the Thunder Cavalry also involved the issue of the Western Qiang war horses. Chen Gong did not propose to expand the Thunder Cavalry, which was considered to be a mercy. According to this plan, the conventional troops in Liangzhou will reach 4,000 people, and it should be enough to protect the daily safety of one city and three towns.
No one has more say in this issue than Chen Gong. There must be a reason for this loyal and royal adviser to make such a judgment!
After some thought, A Niu agreed to Chen Gong's request. Although Chen Gong actually proposed the number of 3,000 troops expanding Liangzhou, which exceeded A Niu's expectations. While agreeing, a city lord asked through General Li of the Five Rats of Jincheng: "If I transfer back to the long-range troops stationed in Liangzhou, will it have an impact on the security of the Liangzhou territory?"
The so-called long-range troops are of course Ju Yi's first-row death warrior. The reason why he said this is because A Niu does not want the first-row death warrior to be revealed. After all, he is still passing messages through other players.
Chen Gong frowned. Although he had been leaving Qingzhou and coming to Liangzhou to build a special territory, Chen Gong's understanding of A Niu naturally understood the meaning behind this sentence - A Niu had the idea of transferring the first-row dead soldiers back to Qingzhou!
Chen Gong didn't understand why this happened. He keenly realized that a city lord wanted to transfer the first death warrior back, obviously not as a decoration for Fengxiang. "Is the lord who wants to use troops to the outside world again, so he wants to transfer the most lethal Ju Yi tribe back?"
Among all Fengxiang's troops, the one who has the most anti-attacked enemy must be the first-attacked dead soldiers. Almost every tough battle there are the first-attacked dead soldiers fighting hard. The rain of arrows spurted out by the yellow crossbow in their hands made all the enemies who had once faced him frightened!
Chen Gong knew the importance of a special territory to Fengxiang. He also knew that a certain city lord attached great importance to Long Fei. Even though Aniu knew that the existence of the first-row deceased deceased was of extremely important significance to Long Fei's safety, he also wanted to transfer the first-row deceased deceased deceased. It can be seen that Aniu also hoped to use the power of the first-row deceased deceased deceased to fight an important war!
Chen Gong was silent for a while and said firmly: "The impact is great. However, if the lord can send another general to lead his troops to take over the defense, there should be no big problem in mobilizing that army in the short term. If the lord has time, he can come to Liangzhou for inspection."
If an ordinary official detects the lord's intentions, he may agree casually. Chen Gong is not such a person. It is not possible to just accept it. He needs to be responsible to the lord Fengxiang City Lord and express his judgment meticulously to avoid the lord making wrong decisions. This is Chen Gong's style!
"I understand. After this time, I will come here!"
A Niu did not continue to ask questions. He had no reservations about his trust in Chen Gong. From Chen Gong's rhetoric, a city lord keenly realized that it seemed that the situation in the Liangzhou territory was not very optimistic recently.
After determining the size of the troops in Liangzhou, the remaining problems will be easier to deal with. After the plan to expand the army of 10,000 people occupied 3,000 people in Liangzhou, there were still 7,000 troops. Aniu quickly made a decision.
With the establishment of one thousand people in Canglan Navy, as the scale of trade cooperation between Fengxiang and the Talan tribe expanded, the entire navy became a professional transport fleet, which was very different from the original intention of A Niu to form the Canglan Navy. Before this, Fengxiang had not faced threats from the sea. However, after a number of initially developed shipyards emerged in the Jing and Yang area, A Niu had already felt that the battle for sea control among lord players would begin sooner or later!
In addition, the Yellow Turban Army led by Feilong Baby intends to create a base in Youzhou. In the future, the material transaction between Fengxiang and the Yellow Turban Army may only be achieved through fleets.
The Canglan Navy expanded from one thousand people to three thousand people. According to the current transaction scale of Fengxiang and the Talan tribe, the 3,000 naval force also had enough military strength to stay in the imported town when performing transportation tasks to maintain Fengxiang's maritime defense security!
Fengxiang's territory in Qingzhou has twelve affiliated territories besides the main city. The Shanziying's defense pressure is very high, so there is naturally no suspense in the expansion of the Qingzhou division of Shanziying. A city lord waved his pen and expanded the Shanziying from 5,000 to 8,000 (including the troops stationed in Luoyang)!
In fact, in A Niu's opinion, there are still too few conventional troops in Qingzhou. The growth scale of Liangzhou's military strength exceeded A Niu's expectations, and to a certain extent affected the scale of Shanzi Camp.
During this expansion of the army, Fengxiang has added a new force: the Chongwen Battalion!
In the list of new buildings added in the third-level cities, there is a heavy infantry training camp. The combat effectiveness of the heavy infantry at level 58 is more than that of the light infantry at level 50. A Niu, who has always advocated elite soldiers, will naturally not forget this.
There were two thousand people in the Chongjian Battalion, with Lu Han as the chief general. The heavy infantry had amazing defense and the individual and group combat capabilities were not comparable to those of light infantry. It seemed a bit risky to let Lu Han serve as the chief officer of such a unit, but A Niu had no better candidate for the time being. Lu Han, who had experience in commanding the Shanzi Camp, became A Niu's only choice.
It is unlikely that Chongbu Battalion will be sent out to charge. This unit should be the backbone of defense, and the territory faces an iron wall when facing offense. Lu Han, who is quite talented in defense, is actually quite consistent with the temperament of Chongbu Battalion.
Among the transferred generals trained by Fengxiang, Di Yun is the best at attacking, and Lu Han is the best at defending. This has long been a consensus!
The duties of the Chongwen Camp are the same as those of the Shanzi Camp. They are both guarding the territory and under the unified dispatch and command of Xu Rong, Lu Han can still learn how to use troops by following Xu Rong.
At this point, Fengxiang's military expansion plan was fully finalized, and the rest were the affairs of Sun Liang and the heads of each branch.
In fact, the scale of Fengxiang City's military expansion this time is larger than expected. If the army is trapped in the camp, the first to climb the Dead Soldiers and the Flying Wing Battalion's troops will be no longer in A Niu's military expansion plan.
The territory was upgraded to a third-level city, and a large number of refugees placed in refugee camps officially moved in. The Dragon God delivered the population in exchange for two thousand Wuhuan horses in advance, providing Fengxiang with a large number of opportunities to select troops. According to convention, several special troops have priority in selecting troops. After they selected them, it was the turn of other troops to select troops, and several troops have gained some gains.
At the end of the recruitment, the number of people in the camp increased by 32, and the current force was 540.
The Feiyi Battalion has added 48 people, and its current strength is 554.
The one who gained the most was the first to climb the Dead Soldier. Since he had to deal with Qianluo, Ju Yi, who had been staying in Liangzhou, happened to stay in the territory at this time. 837 new recruits were added to the First to climb the Dead Soldiers' Battalion!
Judging from the recruitment situation of the three special troops, it can be seen that the recruitment requirements of the Shantou Camp and the Feiyi Camp are so strict. It is so outrageous that the only thing that the Dead Soldier in the First Round seems less picky. However, Ju Yi selected so many new recruits, which can only mean that the selection conditions for the Dead Soldier in the First Round Soldier in the First Round Soldier are a little relaxed.
You should know that Fengxiang’s new population has reached more than 40,000!
Even if female NPCs are excluded, as well as the elderly and weak villagers, the young and strong men at the same time still exceed 10,000 people. The probability of the selection of soldiers in the Feiyi Camp and the Cang Camp reached an exaggerated one percent!
All three special troops were harvested. A Niu was happy and didn't even notice Sun Liang's expression of tears. He came to Ju Yi and said, "Kenluo has not left yet. You and his wife don't have to go back to Liangzhou for now. The recruits will be trained in Fengxiang first."
Ju Yi was a little confused. The long-term departure of the troops made him quite worried. In fact, in his opinion, Qian Luo had already seen him, so he could just leave early. Anyway, Qian Luo wanted to see Rouran was just a cover. After leaving Qingzhou, Qian Luo could not know whether they were going back to Luoyang or Liangzhou, but he obviously did not want to violate A Niu's will. Ju Yi saluted and took the people back to Fengxiang City military camp to accompany Gao Shun's camp.
Ju Yi still doesn't know that a city lord hopes to transfer the first death warrior from Liangzhou. The reason is that only Aniu and Pang Tong know.
After repeated research by the two, Aniu and Pang Tong agreed that they should not sit idly by the Taran Tribe's request for help. If conditions permit, Feng Xiang should provide assistance to the Taran Tribe as much as possible!
A Niu, who is familiar with history, naturally understands that the most powerful force under Gongsun Zan is Baima Yicong, and this legendary army was defeated by Yu Ju Yi's first-row deceased deceased. This is why A Niu wanted to transfer back to the first-row deceased deceased deceased!
There are many disadvantages to rejecting.
1. It may cause a crack in the good relationship between Fengxiang and the Talan tribe, and then cut off the war horse transactions from then on, and even put the long-term cooperation between Fengxiang and Mi clan to an end. Now the cooperation between Fengxiang and Mi clan is almost completely maintained by Wuhuan war horse transactions. If A Niu himself was in the position of Fudun, the great master of the Talan tribe, was rejected when he needed help the most, and interruption of cooperation was almost inevitable.
2. Ju Yi's wife Rouran is the beloved daughter of the adults of the Talan tribe and the sister of the young patriarch Zaru. A Niu does not doubt Ju Yi's loyalty to Fengxiang, but the blood relationship cannot be ignored. If some unpleasant things happen because of this incident, serious consequences are very likely.
3. A Niu has a good personal relationship with Zaru. The heroic young patriarch Zharu not only generously gave his love to Ma Mofeng, but also extended a helping hand without hesitation when Fengxiang was facing difficulties.
Any of these three points makes it difficult for A Niu to take a light view. Even if he can't beat it, it's better than standing by and watching.
"In this way, don't we have to send troops? Don't consider whether we have the ability to defeat the Beiping army for now. It's just helping aliens deal with the prefect of the Beiping of the Han Dynasty. It's not nice to spread it!" A Niu frowned. He may not care about the players' views on Feng Xiang, but A Niu still cares about the NPC world's perception of him.
Typically, it is burdened by fame, reputation, reputation!
Pang Tong smiled and said, "Lord, the situation may be more troublesome. With Yuan Shao's temperament, he might make a big fuss about this matter and falsely accused you of colluding with a foreign race to attack the Han officials. It is not impossible to say that you are a 'traitor'."
"Traitor?"
A Niu was in tears and had no tears. He always claimed to be patriotism, love his country, and loves himself. He never thought that he might be labeled like this one day. A Niu always despises an animal like a "traitor".
"I'm not a traitor!"
Pang Tong shook his head, "Lord, if you have already made up your mind to send troops to Youzhou, that problem is not difficult to solve. As long as we use a little trick, we can become famous and help the Talan tribe with dignity."
"Tell me quickly!"
"It is logical that the battle between the Wuhuan people and the Beiping prefect is not our turn to manage. As far as the subordinates know, the Beiping prefect Gongsun Zan and the Youzhou governor Liu Yu have always been incompatible. The two have irreconcilable contradictions in their concept of treating foreign races. The former advocates toughness, while the latter advocates Huairou, including the Beiping bloody case that directly triggered a large-scale confrontation between the Wuhuan people and the Beiping army. Liu Yu once came forward to mediate, but in the end, it had to end without any success due to Gongsun Zan's insistence. Liu Yu once attracted great fame for this.
