Exile at the beginning: Take the system and sister-in-law to farm

This transformation of Ma Zhong won the favor of everyone, and Ma Zhong made a great contribution to the soldiers and horses under Yan Yun's command, which made Ma Zhong become one of the celebrities under Yan Yun's command.

Ma Zhong did not accept so many gold coins, and Yan Yun did not say too many words. He just said: "Since you can't accept it now, let me keep it for you for the time being. When you want it, you can ask me first and I will keep it intact." Give it all to you if you don’t move!”

Ma Zhong has opened up the situation, and Yan Yun cannot be too stingy.

All the gold coins were kept for him.

Whenever you want it, give it to him.

Yan Yun is not short of this gold coin, and he will not let this gold coin chill his subordinates' hearts.

Ma Zhong was very drunk.

Qin Daode was stunned and took Ma Zhong to Yingchun Tower.

………………

After all the captured soldiers and horses were dispersed and organized, the soldiers and horses of Gangjin City and the soldiers and horses of Manhuangguan were once again improved.

罡金城：长枪兵3万、弓箭手1.5万、轻骑兵1万、剑士1300、龙血战士1000人、铁血弩骑军1.2万、磐石强弩军2万、暴力神射手1.3万。

Wilderness Pass: 1 pikemen, 1 archers, and 5000 light cavalry.

As such.

The total number of soldiers and horses under Yan Yun's command, including Manhuang City, reached 18.

The number of elite soldiers and horses here is: 6.

With so many soldiers and horses, Yan Yun's military level has been improved again.

despite this.

Every day in Gangjincheng, a few people come to recruit troops to join Yan Yun's command.

Although there are not many people left, the number of people who come is the number of people.

Yanyun didn't limit Shaomai, and he didn't think they were late.

In short, no one will be refused.

........................

Yanhuang City.

Li Rui immediately received the flying pigeon message from Cheng Bo.

Li Rui became furious when he saw the contents inside.

"Are you going to fight? This is a meat bun beating a dog with no return!! Hateful!! Hateful!! This Cheng Bo is really weak and incompetent!! Suicide to apologize?? Damn it... you can choose to commit suicide , can’t you go to the battlefield and kill more enemies for me?? Damn it!! Damn it!!”

Li Rui was furious and shouted at the old housekeeper beside him: "Immediately order someone to arrest Cheng Bo's family! Such an incompetent person, his family does not deserve to enjoy the prosperity!!"

The old housekeeper left in a hurry.

Li Rui sat on the chair with a dejected look.

The contents of the letter flashed through his mind.

Tens of thousands of elite archers...

Tens of thousands of black-armored cavalry who are far more terrifying than the Tiger Roar Cavalry...

Tens of thousands of elite spearmen armed with shields, spears, bows and arrows...

All soldiers and horses are wearing mysterious shooting arrow devices...

The arrowheads of all feather arrows are made of iron...

All cavalry's armors, spears, and helmets are also made of iron...

Oh shit!

What kind of army is this? ?

Why is it so scary? ?

All equipment is made of iron.

In this era when iron ore is rare, being able to craft an iron weapon is already very good.

But all the soldiers under Yan Yun wore iron suits...

This Nima.

Li Rui finally understood Cheng Bo's inner thoughts at that time.

This is indeed very depressing and despairing.

Anyone would choose to commit suicide, right?

"Alas! I didn't expect that the 20 soldiers and horses of my court would be destroyed in the hands of the enemy!" Li Rui said quietly.

Just when he was debating whether to let Cheng Bo's family go, the old housekeeper returned to the house anxiously.

"Master...Cheng Bo's family has quietly escaped long ago!"

When these words came out, Li Rui's anger suddenly surged, and he shouted at the old housekeeper: "I ordered someone to find it for me! Damn... I originally wanted to spare their family... but now, I want to spare a hammer! Give them all up." If you run away from the city, what else can you trust?"

The old housekeeper left in a hurry.

Li Rui's face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out the moisture.

There was a war going on at the border, and Li Rui was very uneasy.

There are no more soldiers in Yanhuang City!

He must recruit new troops.

There are no capable people available.

In desperation, Li Rui called his eldest son, trying to let his son sit in the barracks and recruit soldiers again.

Since the death of Yan Nandu, Li Rui has ordered people to notify his family to return to Yanhuang City to live.

Now he is even more powerful, and no one dares to go against him easily.

Li Rui's eldest son, Li Ang, heard that his father wanted to recruit troops again, so he agreed without saying a word.

Since then, a new round of recruitment has begun!

just.

Recruiting soldiers this time is not as easy as before!

Especially when the people heard that most of the newly recruited 20 soldiers and horses died on the battlefield, they all gave up joining the army.

This puts Li Rui in trouble!

After recruiting troops for a week, they couldn't recruit even a hundred people.

The strength of the Yan Empire is also limited.

Over the past few months, the Yan Empire had suffered heavy casualties in resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, and its numbers had dropped sharply.

Let alone recruiting 20 soldiers and horses, even recruiting [-] soldiers must be done well.

What's more, the treasury is now empty.

Even the soldiers' pensions are on hold.

More than [-] soldiers died, but they received a large pension.

If the court does not pay compensation, not to mention the invasion of enemies and the disobedience of rebels, even the people will rebel.

This is no joke!

All the taxes collected previously were used to recruit soldiers, and now there is no money to compensate for pensions.

Unable to do anything, Li Rui visited the chaebol family and the merchant family again.

The ones who suffered this time were the Cao family and the Yu family within the chaebol family.

Li Ruishi opened his mouth and threatened that each family would spend at least 10 billion gold coins to fill the national treasury, otherwise they would face the fate of being executed and exiled.

The Cao family and the Yu family hated Li Rui's bad behavior, but they were helpless.

finally.

The two heads of the family each donated 5 million gold coins after much hard work.

The treasury was filled.

Pensions and compensation were paid.

But still not many soldiers were recruited.

Li Rui was so angry that he spent a lot of money to recruit a soldier. Everyone in the family was given 50 gold coins. Only then did some people start to join the army under the influence of their heart.

However, due to the limited number of people, the number is still pitiful.

………………

The Battle of Earth City.

After Guo Xiaoqi and Wei Xiong took over the battle in Dadi City, they were reorganizing their troops and waiting for the arrival of the court's [-] new soldiers and supplies of food and grass.

After waiting for a week, Shanshan arrived.

After the new soldiers arrived, the number of troops under Guo Xiaoqi's command jumped to 25.

During this time.

Dong Aolai did not take the initiative to attack.

Both sides are reorganizing their troops and waiting for the arrival of reinforcements to fight to the death.

Dong Aolai summoned a total of 35 troops.

These soldiers and horses include those under his command, those guarding Huxiao Pass, and the soldiers and horses newly dispatched by the Emperor of Chu.

These troops and horses are already the maximum number of troops and horses that Chu State can produce!
