"Tao Qian's compensation of 100,000 taels, of which the Mi family contributed 50,000 taels, has been shipped to Xia City, but Tao Qian is still delaying it in every possible way."

"Tao Qian knows that even if he pays compensation, we will not let him go, so he will not send us money to strengthen our power. The Mi family actively raises money just to preserve Qu County, where his foundation is located. We occupy the third country of the East China Sea

County has threatened Qu County. In order to prevent Qu County from being destroyed, Mi Zhu is still willing to spend money to eliminate disasters..."

After Xia Liang listened to the official report on the negotiations with Tao Qian and Mi Zhu, he knew why Mi Zhu actively mediated.

Mi Zhu did not want Qu County to be destroyed by the war.

"I heard that the princes of Guandong have withdrawn their troops. Why hasn't the lord returned yet..."

After she finished handling these trivial matters, she never received any notification that Chu Tian was going to return to the teacher.

Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning came in with her sword in hand, but her expression was a little strange. She reported to her about the recruitment and training: "A group of new recruits trained, currently level 30, a total of 5,000 people, will be sent to Licheng in the East China Sea for garrison. They have been stationed in Licheng.

A scout team of 100 people has been deployed in the northern area of ​​Tancheng. Once Tancheng's army moves north, they can be informed immediately."

"I see."

"And..." Li Xiuning hesitated, "I will retire at the end."

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you to inspect the city defenses."

Xia Liang was worried that Tao Qian would make a comeback, so he followed Li Xiuning and left the lord's mansion.

She noticed something was wrong with Li Xiuning's expression: "What happened?"

"You defend Xia City, and you will be remembered for your great service."

Chutian's voice sounded, and Xia Liang's mind went blank. When he turned his head, Chutian was leaning on the stone lion next to the lord's mansion. It turned out that he had secretly returned to the lord's mansion.

"Lord Lord..."

She finally understood why Li Xiuning was a little strange today. She was probably very confused when she found Chu Tian, ​​a lord, waiting outside the mansion.

"This is General Li Xiuning?"

Chu Tian knew that female military generals were generally more accustomed to calling themselves generals rather than girls.

He took a brief look at Li Shimin's sister and thought that he had met Li Shimin not long ago, but now, it's great that Li Shimin's sister is working under his own power.

The Li family is all cheaters, and Li Xiuning is no exception.

Because Li Xiuning had already served Langya Kingdom, Chu Tian did not show greedy eyes, but just wrote down his appearance very calmly to avoid being unrecognizable in the future.

But it's impossible not to recognize her. In "The Lord", the female general with a surname is outstanding in appearance.

Li Xiuning was also able to see Langya Prime Minister and General Fubo up close, a man with a good reputation in Langya Kingdom.

"Lord, you should notify us in advance so that officials can go and greet you."

When Xia Liang saw Chu Tian coming back, his eyes were first on Li Xiuning, and he felt inexplicably disappointed in his heart.

"Isn't it just to defeat Dong Zhuo and capture a few generals? There is no need to make a big fanfare."

If Dong Zhuo heard Chu Tian say this, he would be so angry that he could not sleep all night.

"I want to know everything that happened during this period, the losses of Langya Kingdom, and so on."

The first thing Chu Tian did when he came back was to understand the situation of Langya Kingdom.

Various account books were transferred. During the battle with Cao Bao's coalition forces, several towns in Langya State were looted, resulting in heavy losses and more than 10,000 casualties among soldiers.

However, under the governance of Xia Liang, the nine towns of Hedong resettled the victims and basically returned to peace.

As for the three counties of the East China Sea, because of Li Xiuning's characteristic of "forbidden invasion and plunder" as the commander-in-chief, the people's support will not drop significantly when the enemy's city is conquered, so the people's support of the three counties of the East China Sea can be used.

Appointing Li Xiuning as the chief general to invade other people's territory can reduce the work of dealing with the aftermath.

Chu Tian has already learned about Li Xiuning's background. If he recruits 10,000 women's troops for Li Xiuning, he will have candidates for the generals who will guard the family in the future.

Female military generals who participate in the martial arts examination can join the Detachment of Women and serve as mid- and low-level officers.

【Army】: Detachment of Women

[Level]: Level 6 light infantry

[Attack Power]: 18 [Defense Power]: 10 [Speed]: 6

[Skills]: Advanced FenXun (increases the morale of one's own troops), Advanced Shield Formation, Advanced Spear Formation, Advanced Inspiration (can improve the morale of adjacent troops, can only be used once in a battle)

[Characteristics]: Princess Soldier (when Li Xiuning serves as the commander, attack +5, defense +1, speed +1, morale decrease rate -10%)

[Military pay]: 6 taels/month

【Required Condition】:Female

[Training period]: 2 months

[Maximum quantity]: 10,000

Chu Tian was quite surprised when he saw the panel of the Detachment of Women.

The strength of the Detachment of Women is not high, even a bit low. The attack/defense of Xiliu Camp, which is also a sixth-level light infantry, is 19/14, while the Detachment of Women is only 18/10.

However, the Detachment of Women can always maintain high morale, continue fighting, and can also improve the morale of adjacent units, which is very practical.

The conditions for recruitment are also very simple, as long as there are six-level infantry battalions and qualified female soldiers.

"You should have ordered Li Xiuning to recruit a women's army, right?"

Chu Tian couldn't help but feel moved when he saw that Li Xiuning's recruitment conditions for the Women's Army were simple.

The recruitment requirements for cavalry are the most stringent, followed by heavy infantry who are good at armor, long archers who are good at bows, and then light infantry. As for the Detachment of Women, they can recruit as long as they have the resources. This restriction is just like a decoration among the same level of arms.

This was Chu Tian's idea. As long as he could pay his monthly salary, wouldn't it be easy to recruit a 10,000-person Detachment of Women?

Xia Liang shook his head: "So far, there are only two thousand qualified soldiers. First, many women are physically weak, and even female players rarely choose to become military generals; second, even if they have qualified physiques, few women are willing to

If they join the army, they have a better future."

These are indeed problems.

For the first time, Chu Tian was troubled by the source of troops.

There are millions of people in Langya Kingdom, but they can only recruit 2,000 women's troops.

I'm afraid it will take the whole of Xuzhou to conquer 10,000 women's troops.

"Two thousand people are enough. I think these two thousand people can defeat 10,000 low-level soldiers and continue to fight."

Chu Tian was very optimistic about the Detachment of Women’s Army’s long-lasting and high morale.

With such a force defending the city, using city walls to make up for the shortcomings of low defense, and coupled with long-lasting high morale, the siege team will probably be very uncomfortable. Unless they kill the Detachment of Women on a large scale, their morale will not be destroyed at all. The Detachment of Women can also serve as a defense for neighboring countries.

The troops' morale is improved, and Li Xiuning's motivational characteristics...

The Li family of Tang Dynasty was indeed a cheating family.

"Yes. Why did Li Xiuning appear in Xia City?"

Chu Tian heard about Xia Liang's experience in recruiting Li Xiuning and knew that Li Xiuning was probably a wandering general like Zhao Yun.

Because a large number of lords were killed in the early battles, there were definitely a lot of wandering generals. As one of the hundred counties in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Langya State's territory was actually not small, and sometimes wandering generals who had lost their lords would flow in.

Xia Liang replied: "Li Xiuning's original lord did not have a good impression of him. That lord had wild ideas and was killed by Li Xiuning with a sword."

"..."

Chu Tian didn't expect that any lord would die so cowardly.

The word "sex" has a knife on its head.

Fortunately, I didn't do anything to Hua Mulan.

Chu Tian couldn't help but feel happy secretly.

Li Xiuning is also very fierce. It is probably because the original lord was not good and she lost trust in the male lords, so she chose to be loyal to Xia Liang, a female player.

Out of fear that Li Xiuning would be dissatisfied and leave, Chu Tian acquiesced to Li Xiuning becoming Xia Liang's retainer and staying to defend the city from now on.

Chu Tian has many military generals under his command, but there must always be someone who stays in Langya Kingdom to guard the city. In the future, as the territory expands, more generals will need to be left behind.

A county must have at least one garrison.

"Tao Qian took advantage of my absence and unexpectedly attacked Langya Kingdom. When the winter was over, he went south along the Yi River and captured Tan City and Xia Pi City."

Chu Tian was already angered by Tao Qian.

It is said that Tao Qian took the initiative to form this coalition.

It was impossible for Dong Zhuo to capture Tao Qian, lead him as a herdsman in Xuzhou, and then submit it to the imperial court, even if Dong Zhuo did not approve it.

"General Xu Sheng's injury has improved and he is expected to return to health next month."

"Zang Ba and Sun Guan returned to Dongwu County and stationed in various counties to guard against Beihai Kingdom."

"If there are no other instructions, then I will resign."

Xia Liang finished reporting the matter and handed over the temporary military power.

"Wait a minute, guarding the Langya Kingdom. You have made great contributions. What reward do you want? Land, houses, official positions, as long as I can give them, I can give them."

Chu Tian didn't know how to reward her. She was already a Kaiyang Order, and she couldn't be given a higher official position until Chu Tian got Xuzhou Mu.
To be continued...
