"If you must give a reward, then please ask the lord to reward your subordinates with one thousand taels of silver."

"Can."

Although he didn't know what Xia Liang wanted with one thousand taels of silver, Chu Tian thought it was a good deal, or rather a great deal, to use one thousand taels of silver to defend the huge Langya Kingdom.

Not to mention one thousand taels, in that case Chutian would be willing to give it even if it was ten thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels, or five hundred thousand taels.

Because there were too many silver coins, Li Xiuning helped Xia Liang move the silver coins back.

It started to snow lightly outside the lord's mansion. Li Xiuning found that Xia Liang, the head of the family, was a little absent-minded and did not seem to be excited about getting one thousand taels of silver.

Hot tears fell on the snow, and Li Xiuning asked worriedly: "Master, are you okay?"

Xia Liang rubbed his eyes: "It's just that the snow fell in my eyes..."

Military advisor Fang Xuanling came to talk to Chu Tian and happened to see this scene in secret.

As a military advisor, one is not only responsible for making suggestions when marching and fighting, but also has the ability to have insight into interpersonal relationships.

Chutian returned to the back hall and found that the room was much tidier and there was a faint smell of rouge. For a moment, he thought he had gone to the wrong place.

He recruited soldiers from the Lord's Mansion and found out that Miss Xia had temporarily lived here during the defense of the city, so that it would be convenient to dispatch troops and supplies at any time.

The next day, Chu Tian went to check Xu Sheng's injury again.

Xu Sheng was seriously injured, and Chu Tian rewarded him and ordered him to recover from his injuries.

At the same time, Chutian made an important decision - to expand the naval camp.

Next to attack Xuzhou, you can attack Tancheng and Xiapi along the Yi River. The navy camp will be used to transport grain, so you don't have to worry about the safety of the grain route.

The naval battalion originally had 2,000 men, but a small number were lost during Cao Bao's attack on Langya Kingdom.

Chutian planned to temporarily expand the navy to 10,000 men to facilitate food transportation and compete for control of the Yi River.

At present, it is difficult for Langya Kingdom to support a navy camp of ten thousand people with the strength of a county. However, if the entire Xuzhou is conquered, it can completely support a naval camp of ten thousand people without much pressure.

Military expansion is based on the premise that the war is expected to be won, and the expenditure on military expansion is made up of with spoils and occupied territory.

So a militaristic empire will strive to expand, otherwise the economy will collapse quickly.

They only need an excuse to start a war, which is the so-called trigger.

Tao Qian sent Cao Bao to attack the Langya Kingdom, giving Chu Tian a reason to occupy Xuzhou, and attack Tao Qian in the name of avenging the people of the Langya Kingdom who died in the battle.

"There are fifteen warships, forty sailing boats, several sentry ships, and several grain ships."

After discussing with Xu Sheng, Chu Tian ordered people to prepare ships and train new navy soldiers.

By the beginning of spring, the production of warships has basically been completed. At that time, warships can be used to control the Yi River, and then go south to attack Tancheng and open the gateway to Xiapi.

Xu Sheng's serious injury also reminded Chu Tian that even famous generals may die in battle.

Therefore, Chu Tian ordered all generals to minimize the number of charges into battle. If they can use their troops to consume the opponent, then there is no need to go into battle personally.

"Ding! The second historical battle is over, and the Kanto princes have won. All princes, lords, and free players in the Kanto princes camp will receive +50% military merit. You will receive the characteristic reward—the S-level characteristic 'Four Generations and Three Dukes'."

Chutian was planning to expand the navy with Xu Sheng, and received a reminder. The second historical battle allowed various princes to fish in troubled waters, so the top ten rewards were the same and had a random feature.

The Four Generations and Three Dukes...

Chu Tian was very sure that these were the characteristics of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu!

Not long ago, he had a grudge against Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but now he has acquired their characteristics, which is to trick people.

Chutian checked the effects of the characteristics of "Four Generations and Three Lords".

【Name】:Fourth Generation and Three Dukes

[Grade]: S-level characteristics

[Effect]: You and your descendants will both gain the status of disciples of aristocratic families. Favorability of aristocratic families will be +5%, favorability of heroes from noble families will be +5%, the probability of special talents joining the clan will increase slightly, and the probability of joining historical heroes will increase slightly.

This is a characteristic that has nothing to do with fighting, but is used to recruit talents and easily gain the support of famous families.

By virtue of his status as the Fourth Prince and the Third Duke, Yuan Shao gained the support of a large number of talents. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao did not know how to employ people, which resulted in the loss of a large number of talents to Cao Cao's camp.

It can be said that with this characteristic, even if Chutian does nothing in Langya Kingdom, there is a very low probability that a hero will come to seek refuge with Chutian.

This is the benefit of fame.

It can also increase the appeal to aristocratic families.

Now Chutian is attractive to foreign races, peasant armies, and aristocratic families...

"Leave the matter of expanding the naval camp to the general."

Xu Sheng was still slightly injured, but it did not affect military training, so he handed over the expansion of the naval camp to Xu Sheng, and then went to find Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other literati from aristocratic families.

He wants to try the effect of his four generations and three sons.

Chu Tian also lived his life as the person he hated the most - a disciple of an aristocratic family.
