The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Besides, after the Liu family bought some land, their business didn't expand much, and they still had some savings.

The most important thing is that he wants to expand his army, he has no money to play with a hammer!

Only [-] soldiers were brought to Kuaiji. It was a last resort. Who wouldn't want to go out with hundreds of thousands of troops to show their prestige.

Army expansion is always the first thing after a full meal.Therefore, when Liu Ke's army expansion order was issued, no one objected.

Let's talk about the defenders in various places first. Since the previous arrangement was 1 people, they couldn't even suppress a rebellion. How can this work?

Zhang Zhao, the prefect of Kuaiji, led the army and supervised Guan Hai, and the defenders expanded to [-].

Zhang Hong, the prefect of Yuzhang, and Liao Hua, the commander of the army, expanded the garrison to [-].

Zhou Xin, the prefect of Wujun, led the army and the governor Mi Fang, and the defenders expanded to [-].

Yu Fan, the prefect of Danyang, led troops to supervise Zangba, and the defenders expanded to [-].

Zhuge Jin, the prefect of Lujiang, and Lu Fan, the governor of the army, expanded the defenders to [-].

Mi Zhu, the prefect of Jiujiang, led the military commander Gan Ning, and the defenders expanded to [-] + [-] naval troops.

Lu Su, the prefect of Guangling, had [-] defenders.

In this way, a total of 21 defenders were raised.Coupled with the growth of population and the accumulation of people's wealth, it is no problem for local taxes to support these troops.

Even more troops can be supported, but Liu Ke considers productivity, how can he do coolies without men?

To be honest, these defenders usually shoulder the heavy responsibility of farming, so they are not really regular troops.

Among them, the biggest change in personnel is Lujiang. Liu Ke boldly appointed a young prefect Zhuge Jin, who is capable enough and fully competent.

And Xun You has long wanted to return to the center. To be honest, he is more suitable for conspiracy.

The same is true for Gao Shun, who didn't want to stay somewhere and strongly demanded to return to the team, so Liu Ke directly appointed Lu Fan.

Lu Fan performed well in the fight against Shanyue and made a lot of contributions. He wouldn't have risen to such a high level all at once, but he was lucky.

Sometimes, luck is really inaccurate.

The next step is the reform of the important corps. Liu Ke intends to let the cavalry form an army alone, so it is divided into the Tiger Guard Army, Dongyang Army, and Yangzhou Cavalry Army.

To be honest, Liu is very proud that a Southern Corps can develop such a strong cavalry.

The commander-in-chief of the Tiger Guards is still Zhao Yun, with Chen Heng, Zhang Ying, and Fan Neng as the school lieutenants under his command.

The Yangzhou cavalry commander is Tai Shici, and the deputy commander is Zhang Yun. This time the army will be expanded to 5 people, including [-] heavy cavalry and the rest light cavalry.

Liu Ke personally served as the commander-in-chief of the Dongyang Army, including 2 people in the Shesheng Battalion. In addition to bows and arrows and Yuanrong crossbows, they were also in charge of catapults, well rails and crossbows.Ballista is a new type of weapon in Tie Niu City. It uses crossbow bolts that are as thick as spears. It is very powerful and can directly break through wooden city gates or embed them in city walls.

The Shesheng Battalion is still under the command of Huang Zhong.

The 1-man guard battalion commanded Dianwei. He complained for a long time about this, and the number of people increased again, so it was not easy to take the lead.

Also depressed was Gao Shun, who was trapped in the camp. His troops had expanded to [-]. For him, this was a great challenge. I hope that the command will not be in a hurry.

As for Lu Bu, Liu Ke gave him a deadly order to train out-of-the-horse cavalry, and his troops were directly named the out-of-arms battalion, with a number of [-].

Zhang Liao was also a cavalry soldier, commanding a battalion of [-] wolf cavalry.

Including Gan Ning's [-] navy, the Dongyang Army has a total strength of [-].

Liu Ke intends to go out independently when the navy army matures, and it will still be under the name of Dongyang Army now.

Calculated in this way, the defenders are 21 + the regular army is 19, and the total strength of Yangzhou has reached 40, making it one of the largest forces in the world.

Regarding this, Dong Zhuo smiled slightly. Some time ago he absorbed Ding Yuan's troops and forced him to arrest the strong ones. Luoyang's troops had reached a terrifying 50.

This is just the strength of a city, if you add his troops left behind in Xiliang and Chang'an, I don't know how much it can reach.

In short, it's just unbelievable.

There are a lot of recruits in Liu Ke's barracks, so he plans to train them for a while and doesn't plan to go to war again.

Yangzhou must take a little time to digest the current harvest, whether it is livestock or population.

With enough manpower and animal power, Liu Ke naturally built the road with great fanfare.

Now he doesn't have the ability to cross the Yangtze River Bridge, otherwise he really has to try.

However, with Gan Ning's navy, water transportation is still not a problem.

Liu Ke could obviously feel the rapid development of business, which is why he was so eager to build roads.

The current situation is that the road cannot keep up with the development of business.Their caravans traveled all over the country, and even bandits were courteous.

Who doesn't know the famous Marquis of Dongyang?

Saved the world from danger, broke Karasuma's cavalry, gathered so many refugees, and donated sweet potatoes and corn seeds for free...

The literati said that their blank pages are no longer enough to write the glorious deeds of Dongyang Hou.

Even the paper is produced by Dongyang, not to mention some books.

Now the books in the world, as long as they are certified by both Cai Yong and the Dongyang government, they can print [-] copies for free.If it's an isolated copy, it's even more important. Dongyang Hou will give you money and beg you to print it.

Moreover, Dongyang Hou respected Confucianism and opened academies everywhere.

After a lot of actions, all scholars in the world have been subdued, and it is rare to attack Dongyanghou.
