Although the price of spiritual pills is not fixed, such as Longjin Hufei Pills, it is a pill suitable for low-level warriors to gather their courage and improve their level of martial arts and courage. Although the level is relatively low, the price is extremely expensive.

The grade of the spirit pill only shows the lowest level of the user. It may not necessarily be of higher grade to be of higher value, but also surprising because of the type and quality of the pill.

But generally speaking, the price of elixirs suitable for more advanced warriors and literati is naturally higher.

The sixth-grade spiritual pills start with tens of millions of taels of silver, which is also the highest-level pills that alchemists can refine when they are usually used.

Whether the seventh-grade magic pill can be refined depends on the level of the alchemy. No matter how powerful the alchemist is, he dare not say that he can definitely refine the seventh-grade magic pill, but depends on the luck. It can be said that it is given by God, and people cannot force it.

For example, the seventh-grade dragon python inner alchemy is equivalent to the seventh-grade magic pill, and it is difficult to find any price of hundreds of millions.

Ten sixth-grade spiritual pills can be worth 100 million silver taels. Yong Kai knew that this was definitely the bottom line of the elixir that the Tiandan Sect could take out.

"Don't worry, as long as the Tiandan Sect helps me to seize the world, I will naturally not regret what I promised. When I ascend to the throne, it will be when the Tiandan Sect becomes the national sect and the head of the sect is the Tiandan Sect. "

Shui Zhenren nodded slightly: "We have taken out so many spiritual pills, and we have to make every effort to refine and replenish the alchemy library in case of emergency needs. We also hope that the lord can send an elite unit of 5,000 people to listen to the dispatch of Tiandan Gate, help Tiandan Gate search for spiritual medicine and capture ferocious beasts for the alchemy needs."

Yong Kai nodded: "I promised you!"

He then turned his attention to the officials present: "Although I have collected military pay many times, the consumption of two million troops is also extremely huge, and the national treasury is not much silver."

"This time I buy soldiers and armor from Tianshui County, I hope you can help me. After obtaining soldiers and armor, I will only leave a number of 5,000, and the rest will be divided into you."

Unlike the Changding Army Chuhe who held power alone, the three states all had a clan forces. Even if Yong Kai was the lord of the Yizhou Army, it would be difficult for him to forcibly drive the generals under his command.

Yong Kai often needs to coordinate the interests of all parties before issuing orders, which makes the operational efficiency of the three states extremely low. If it weren't for the benefit of the terrain, it would have been attacked by the Shu army long ago.

The officials and generals here all have powerful aristocratic forces as their support. Yong Kai's words are naturally said to the aristocratic forces they represent.

The meaning is very straightforward. Whoever takes out more supplies can get more steel soldiers.

The officials naturally began to ponder at this time.

Although they have a deep foundation, the cost of supporting the army is extremely huge.

The most fatal thing is the class they are in, which determines that they cannot attack other large gentry families at will. The target of plundering money is those who have no success in their lives, or those rich and noble businessmen like the Zhu family and Yin family who have no background.

Moreover, due to the war, the rice and grain output occupied by the Yizhou army was difficult to increase, and the taxes collected did not increase much compared to the previous Yizhou area.

Therefore, although the Yizhou army has occupied a lot of territory and controlled more than a dozen major counties near Yizhou, its income is not enough to cover the income, and it has to pay out tens of millions of taels of silver or even more at once, which is also an extremely heavy burden for their family.

Yong Kai is not anxious. During the war, steel soldiers are just hard currency. Although 40,000 yuan is expensive, judging from the quality of steel soldiers, they can be compared with second-grade magical weapons. Any set can be used as a family heirloom for ordinary wealthy families. He does not believe that the forces behind everyone are not moved.

Sure enough, the officials present pondered for a while and expressed their willingness to help the lord. I had tens of millions of dollars, and in the end, the nine families alone collected 130 million taels of silver.

In addition, Tongtianmen, a giant looking for food on Tongtian River, also brought out ten eight thousand warships and supplies worth tens of millions of taels of silver, such as the golden-scaled dragon carp, Tongtian beads, Tianhe clams, etc., which are specialized in Tongtian River.

The power of Tongtianmen is extremely huge. There are tens of millions of ordinary gangs and 300,000 soldiers who can fight. They have hundreds of warships of various colors, countless small ships such as stewards and fighters, flat-headed ships, etc. They are the main force of the Yongzhou Army's sailors, and even Yong Kai must be extremely polite to Tongtianmen.

The Tongtian River is extremely wide and has amazing depth. The huge waves in the river are no different from the sea. The warships in the river are all in the style of sea ships. A sea ship of 8,000 materials is fully equipped with weapons and equipment, and the value is absolutely more than 500,000 yuan.

The two major sects on Nanhua Mountain are the Feijian Sect and the Jinwu Sect. They are also extremely powerful, with tens of thousands of sects. This time, there are more than 5,000 disciples who went down the mountain to join the Yizhou Army, and their strength is above the second-grade warriors, including four elders of the sixth-grade realm.

Although the two sects did not take out silver supplies, they each produced a fourth-grade magic weapon and treasure, one for the Sky-Strike Banner and the other for the Star-Shaped Seal.

Needless to mention the value of the fourth-grade divine weapon, it is the strongest magic weapon that ordinary strong people below the seventh grade can use.

You should know that even the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo used only a pair of fifth-grade divine weapons, Tianyu Divine Hammers. If someone below the seventh grade, he would never dare to use the fifth-grade divine weapons by chance.

Once someone knows it, I am afraid that the seventh-grade strongman will come to the door to ask for it only lasts.

Unless they have enough background and strength to protect the magic weapon like Zhang Ning.

If Phoenix Feather hadn't defected to Chu He and Shuangxing Cave told Meng Huo the news that the Phoenix Divine Armor and Phoenix Bow were exposed, Meng Huo would definitely not have let her go.

The two fourth-grade magic weapons taken out by the Feijian Sect and the Jinwu Gate, each of which is worth more than 10 million taels of silver.

For Chu He, it is absolutely extremely cost-effective to exchange 250 sets of steel soldiers for a fourth-grade magic weapon.

Only Changding soldiers have them. There are also many ordinary steel soldiers, but there are lack of high-end magical weapons and literary treasures. For example, Jiang Wei is just wearing the third-grade magical armor refined by Changding Army. The power gap between the third-grade magical weapons and the fourth-grade magical weapons can reach ten times!

The money and supplies that everyone gathered together were worth 267 million. Since Yong Kai wanted to account for 5,000, he could not lose a penny, otherwise he would not be able to convince the public.

At that moment, Yong Kai announced that he would withdraw 100 million silver and liang of silver from the national treasury, and the Yong family would pay another 30 million silver and buy 10,000 sets of steel soldiers and finally raise all the 400 million silver supplies.

The most important thing about Yong Kai summoning the generals this time was this matter. After all, the people present were all the main generals with 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of troops. They could not leave the army for a long time. After discussing the military, they said goodbye one after another.

Although Gao Tao and Yong Tong came to pick up Deng Zitao, they also left Yizhou at this time.

There is definitely no share in Yuezhou for the 10,000 steel soldiers sold to the Yizhou army. Gao Tao must go back and discuss with Gao Dean to see how many steel soldiers they could get from Chu He.

The officials and generals left with their respective counselors and staff, but Yong Tong stayed. After asking Yong Kai to retreat, he whispered to Yong Kai: "Lord, I will report something to you."

Yong Kai knew that Yong Tong asked him to take his back and then go forward to report, and he also knew that things were not simple, so he said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

Yong Tong then told the situation of Yin Xiu and Yin family in a silence, and then whispered: "Deng Zitao is a general from Chu He's personal guard and is highly valued by Chu He. Yin Xiu and Deng Zitao have met him, which shows that what he said is true."

"The people in Jiangwu Village were led away by Chu He. According to the last general investigation, Yin Xiucai appeared in Yizhou at that time, which proves that Chu He had escorted Yin Xiu back to Yizhou."

Yong Kai frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Yong Tong smiled slightly: "Why don't the members of the Yin family come into contact with Deng Zitao? Let's discuss the military and armor matters with Chang Dingjun for the lord?"

"Since Chang Ding Army has completely turned against Da Shu, we will never watch Da Shu open the Tianhe Front. This time, the reason for selling troops and the coalition forces of our three states is this."

Yong Kai nodded: "I know this. But even if my Yizhou army does not want this group of soldiers, the Yellow Turban Army and the Southern Barbarian Army will never let go. Even if it is Yuezhou or Jingzhou, it will definitely seek steel soldiers at any cost."

For the anti-Shu army, soldiers and horses are absolutely no problem. The hardship of clamoring to join the army has gone to the sea. Otherwise, the Yizhou army would not have grown to a scale of two million soldiers in just a short period of time. All they lack is rice, grain, and armor.

If it were the Southern Barbarians, the Yellow Turban Army would get more weapons from Chu He, and rely on them alone, they would probably be able to stabilize the Tongtianhe front and even swallow the coalition forces of the three states.

Chu He also saw this and offered a price of 40,000 yuan per set of steel soldiers.

"What the lord said is very true." Yong Tong agreed, "but it's okay to let the Yin family contact Deng Zitao. Even if you can't try to reduce the price of steel soldiers, you can still win more steel soldiers."

"As long as the price of steel soldiers can be reduced by two or three thousand taels of silver, our Yong family will not need to pay money, or it can be used to purchase additional steel soldiers."

Yong Kai pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "You invite Yin Song and Yin Xiu here, remember not to disturb others."

Deng Zitao, the ambassador of Changding Army, was naturally settled down happily. A large manor in the suburbs, guarded by Deng Zitao's elite Qianyuan Guards.

What everyone could not imagine was that Deng Zitao respectfully saluted a figure at this time: "This is the case with the Yizhou Army. The generals have personally visited each battlefield to check it out."

"The Shu army's offensive was extremely fierce, and thousands of warships continued to attack the Yizhou army formation on the banks of the Tongtian River. It was obvious that the Shu army was frustrated by the Southern Barbarians and the Yellow Turbans, and they intended to concentrate their forces to break through the coalition forces of the three states and open a gap."

The broad back slowly turned around, looking extremely handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and it was Chu He and Chu Qianyuan!

In the eyes of outsiders, Chu He had led Qianyuan Guards and Nanshan Guards to the Nanbar Army at this time. No one expected that Chu He would appear in Yizhou City.

At this time, Chu He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "If there is no steel army to help, how long can the three state coalition forces resist the Shu army?"

Deng Zitao thought for a moment: "It's hard to say. The last general asked the scorpion-tailed tiger-air cavalry to observe it everywhere. The number of Yizhou troops should be more than 1.5 million, which is not much different from the claimed two million soldiers and horses. The elite soldiers and motors are 800,000."

"Besides, the Yizhou Army's sailors are extremely strong, and they have not lost the upper hand when they confront Shu Army sailors many times. Even if the Shu Army attacks with all its strength, it will be difficult to break the front of the three states coalition forces for a while."

"It's just that the news came from General Jiang that the four armies of the Shu army had gathered together, and soldiers were constantly mobilized toward this side. On the other side of the Tongtian River, millions of elite troops had gathered, and the number of warships was also thousands. If they really attacked hard, the coalition forces of the three states might not be able to last for half a year."

Chu He rubbed his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

He did lead his troops to the Nanbar Army camp at the foot of Nanhua Mountain, but then he quietly rode the scorpion-tailed tiger to the northeast direction to check the situation of the entire Tongtian River front, and finally secretly meet with Deng Zitao.

After checking the Tongtianhe front, Chu He realized that the situation was not as ideal as the battle report said.

The Southern Barbarian Army and the Yellow Turban Army have recently won one after another. The problem is that the war potential of the Shu Army is extremely terrifying. There is absolutely no shortage of soldiers and armor. The lost troops can be quickly replenished, and even more and more. Now three million troops are stationed on the other side, with few actions. I guess they are just planning some major plans.

Chu He vaguely guessed that the Shu army was pressing into the Yizhou front, and it was probably just a feint attack. The real target was probably the Southern Barbarian Army at the foot of Nanhua Mountain.

After all, it is too difficult to seize the Tongtianhe Front, which is defending millions of soldiers. Even if it can break through the river, it will soon be submerged under the encirclement of countless anti-Shu troops.

Nanhua Mountain is the origin of Tongtian River. The water level is relatively gentle and there are many tributaries. It greatly disperses the defensive power of the Southern Barbarian Army. It can also cross the mountains of Nanhua Mountain and use surprise troops to attack the Southern Barbarian Army.

If the Southern Barbarians attacked the Shu army on the mountain range, they would lose the advantage of the terrain. Now the Shu army has not advanced from Nanhua Mountain on a large scale, and they may just wait for the troops to adapt to the mountain battle.

Deng Zitao pondered when he saw Chu He, waited for a moment, and said, "Why did the lord take half a year to deliver the troops and the coalition forces of the three states?"

"As long as the three-state coalition forces provide enough iron to produce the arsenal, plus the recently formed third arsenal, it will be able to meet the needs of the three-state coalition forces in March."

"Or we can deliver it to the coalition forces of the three states in batches so that they can attract more troops from the Shu army and reduce the pressure on the Southern Barbarians."

Chu He shook his head: "The output of steel soldiers can keep up, but you have to remember that the three state coalition forces are just forced to accompany us due to the situation. In fact, even the Southern Barbarians and the Yellow Turbans may not be the same as us. If their strength increases too quickly, it will bring us great hidden dangers."

"What our army needs is to consume each other with the Shu army so that our army can take the opportunity to grow."

He sighed: "What we lack now is time. After all, the territory is too small. I don't know if the situation on Aomuwei and Jiangwuwei are going well."

"Also, Pinghaiwei must speed up, and when you get the warship from the Yizhou Army, you will quickly send it to Pinghaiwei."

Deng Zitao nodded: "I will know."

"By the way, lord, how should Zhang Jiao deal with it?"
