There were bursts of thunder in the sky, and Xiliang soldiers pulled carts of stones into the dark world.
"My lord, the chief steward asked you when you will return to Xiliang City!" Li Xiang came back from the Blood Wasteland and rode over.
Qiyi is responsible for delivering the supplies harvested in the Blood Wasteland to Juhu City, and then driving over from Juhu City.
"What happened over there?" Because there was nothing going on over there in Xiliang City, Li Xiangcai put all his energy into the dark world, a world invaded by evil spirits.
Qi Yi shook his head: "Nothing happened, it's just that it's still snowing. Last year, it snowed heavily already.
Listen to the chief manager, something big may happen over there in Daqian!"
Li Xiang patted Xing Liao, and Xing Liao ran to the stables and walked into the tent: "Where is the university in danger?"
Qi Yi shook his head: "I don't know, the general manager didn't tell me that you have to go back. Maybe the general manager wants you to go back and recruit new soldiers!"
"Recruit farmers!" Li Xiang patted his head: "Has the food in Juhu Camp been harvested?"
"The largest batch of grain was harvested the day before yesterday, and we should be preparing for sowing now!"
Li Xiang thought for a moment and said, "It seems like I really have to go back!"
The food in Juhu Camp has been harvested twice. As the level of farmers increases, the spells become stronger and stronger, and the food production will naturally become faster.
Farmland in Xiliang is not ordinary farmland. Farmland cannot be reclaimed once and used permanently. These farmlands are made of some wood and are cultivated and laid out in conjunction with farmers' practices in Xiliang. This can shorten the production cycle of crops, that is, speed up the growth time of crops. , it needs to be renovated every once in a while.
After two harvests, there was already a lot of grain stored in Xiliang City. Li Yi probably called him back to recruit new farmers and Xiliang soldiers.
It would be a waste to use up that food and store it in the warehouse!
That night, Li Xiang summoned the Xiliang officers in the dark camp, including Tate and Mona.
"Tomorrow, I will return to Xiliang City with my cavalry, and the fortress will be handed over to you. During my absence, the command of the army will be left to you, Jianyi!
Everyone else must obey Jianyi’s command, do you hear that?”
"yes!"
Tate and Mona heard that Li Xiang was going back to Xiliang City. Tate wanted to say something, but when he saw the Xiliang officer in the camp, he didn't say anything.
Li Xiang told the group some more points that needed attention and asked everyone to disperse.
Xiliang soldiers don’t need him to worry about anything!
Early the next morning, Li Xiang returned to the basin. Wearing a suit of armor, he could not feel the cold of winter. The other soldiers felt a little cold, and they could feel a little colder by circulating their true energy.
This winter was much colder than last year. The road he came from was covered with ice and snow. Li Xiang followed the road on the mini map and hurried back to the south.
At noon, I returned to the farmland in Xiliang. This area is relatively warm. Every once in a while, there are burning rice straws. The ashes of the rice straws are thrown into the farmland, which is also a good way to increase fat. technology.
At night, when we returned to Juhu City, most of the cavalry guards stayed here.
The next day Li Xiang and his ten men set out on horseback and returned to Xiliang City when it was dark.
When you open the town center panel, you can see that the grain storage capacity has exceeded one million units and reached 1.5 million units.
A farmer needs one hundred units of grain. If all farmers are recruited, fifteen thousand farmers can be recruited.
Li Xiang thought for a while and decided to recruit 10,000 farmers first and use the remaining 500,000 units of grain as food for the army.
Blood Fortress can consume 10,000 units of food in two days, but the food there is provided directly by Juhu Farmland, and there is no need to use Xiliang City to supply it.
Those who really need supplies from Xiliang City are places like the North and South Cities, Xuanshui Village and Qingzhu Village.
There is no place to grow food in these places, and even if there is room to grow food, no one will do it, so Xiliang City needs to supply everything.
Seeing Li Xiang return, Li Yi joked: "My lord, you are finally willing to go home after being away from home for nearly three months!"
Li Xiang smiled and said: "Isn't it because you, the general manager, are here? What do I have to worry about when you are here?"
Li Yibai gave Li Xiang a serious look and said: "Our spies outside the Northwest Pass have received news that there seems to be a troublemaker in Daqian!"
"What's the trouble?" Li Xiang walked to the throne and sat down.
Li Yi stood on the edge: "It seems that because of this heavy snow, the entire Daqian is now in heavy snow. The north is better. After all, there is snow every year, but for the south, especially the seaside where snow has never been seen. To me, this heavy snowfall is a disaster!"
"Heavy snow has fallen to the seaside?" Li Xiang opened his eyes wide, a little incredulous: "Is this heavy snow so scary?"
Li Yi smiled and said: "My lord, didn't you notice on the way back? The snow in many places is already half a foot high?"
"I really didn't pay much attention to this!" The roads Li Xiang came back were all roads cleared by Xiliang soldiers, and the snow on these roads had been cleared almost completely.
Li Yidao: "Our side is a little better. The snow is not very deep. The snow in the Northern Wilderness and Southern Wilderness is much higher. Now the forces in the Northern Wilderness and Southern Wilderness are clearing the snow every day!"
"One foot high, is it so scary?" Li Xiang heard the height of the snow. One foot of snow could easily cover a big man.
"Of course it's scary. The heavy snow prevents us from cutting down trees in the wild, so we can only use stored wood!" Li Yidao.
"Just use the stored wood. The loggers have been tired for a year, so it's time to give them a rest. By the way, I just clicked to recruit 10,000 farmers.
Among these 10,000 people, I will select 3,000 to train as militiamen, and the remaining 7,000 will be yours!"
It's winter now, and with the heavy snowfall, it will still be impossible to start a war for the next three months. The demand for the army is not high. In this case, we need to cultivate more farmers.
Xiliang now lacks various industrial personnel, especially blacksmiths and farmers. Farmers provide food and blacksmiths provide equipment.
"Yes!" Li Yi responded, and then said: "My lord, you are not young anymore. When should we bring a mistress to our Xiliang City?"
A force cannot only have the lord, the mistress is also very important, and this also affects the soldiers of Xiliang City.
Li Xiang looked at Li Yi strangely: "Does this have anything to do with the development of Xiliang City?"
Li Yidao: "It doesn't matter. Only after you have a woman can Xiliang soldiers dare to have women!"
"Uh?..." Li Xiang was a little embarrassed: "They can just go find her, and I won't say anything? Can I still blame them for not finding a woman?"
Li Yi explained: "My lord, this really has something to do with you. If you don't have a woman, Xiliang soldiers can't find a woman. This is a rule!"
"??" Li Xiang's head was full of questions. This rule is a bit unreasonable!
Seeing Li Xiang's confused look, Li Yi smiled and said: "With the mistress in Xiliang City, the next generation of Xiliang people will also appear. By then, my lord, you don't need to recruit, but you can also get a steady stream of loyal Xiliang people."
Liangren!"
"My lord, you have been busy and have no time. How about my subordinates help you find a group of women? What will you choose then?"
We have a lot of women under our control in Xiliang City. If you search patiently, you can still find some good girls!"
Hearing Li Yi's words, Li Lian shook his head. He is not a casual person!
"If I don't find a woman, won't my men be able to find a woman?" Li Xiang asked with a frown.
Li Yi thought for a moment and nodded: "Strictly speaking, this is the case, but there is an alternative method. That is, you can give a marriage to any one of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. This can also break this rule!"
"That's good!" Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Does any of them have a favorite girl?"
Li Yi covered her mouth and said with a smile: "They are busy every day just like you, my lord, so why do they have time to see any girl?"
"Then I can't just give them a girl! Let's not talk about this issue for the time being!" Li Xiang ended the topic.
"Okay!" Li Yi sat on the edge obediently and said nothing.
The hall fell into silence.
Li Xiang said: "Is there anything else?"
"Yes!" Li Yi took out a piece of paper: "The north and south cities each recruited 3,000 men and trained for about two months. Now they are short of various weapons and leather armor. I want 6,000 long knives and 6,000 iron shields.
!”
"So many!" Li Xiang asked: "If the blacksmith shop makes these long knives, how long will it take?"
Li Yi looked at Li Xiang and said: "If it is made in the blacksmith shop, it will take at least about two months. The blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop are mainly forging iron armor now. You have told us to make three thousand armors by the beginning of next spring.
Iron armor, it has been three months now, and only one thousand pieces of iron armor have been made, and there are still two thousand pieces left."
Prime Minister Li had budgeted that Xiliang City would be upgraded to the castle era probably next year. Heavy armored cavalry would appear and iron armor would be needed, so he asked people to build iron cavalry.
As the son of a general, and someone who has led countless iron cavalry virtually, Li Xiang led the Xiliang heavy armored cavalry. The most important thing for an iron cavalry is the war horse. When the Xiliang cavalry changed their profession to become heavy cavalry, the biggest changes were from knights to knights.
It's the transformation of the war horse.
Xiliang War Horse is a fusion of the bloodline of mounts from both True Three and Warcraft. Look at Xing Liao, carrying Li Xiang in heavy armor, he can still come and go freely in the army.
The horses of the Xiliang heavy cavalry are not as powerful as Xing Liao, but they still have one-third the strength and endurance.
The cavalry has few opponents on the plain battlefield, and the three thousand cavalry is Li Xiang's trump card that he wants to use to sweep across the northern wilderness and the southern wilderness.
"Then transfer more blacksmith jobs and let the people in the two cities practice other weapons for the time being. Once the swords and shields are made, they will be sent to them!"
Li Xiang thought and rubbed his brow: "How is Zhang Qingyun doing recently?"
"Deputy General Zhang was attacked a few days ago. The attackers were members of the Qing Army!"
"Is there anyone behind the Qing Army, and who is in control now?" Li Xiang did not know who was in charge of the Qing Army. To be precise, very few people knew that the person in charge of the Qing Army was Zhou Hangjie.
"Unable to investigate, the Qing Army is training troops on a large scale just like us, including Xuantian Sect disciples!"
"Xuan Tianzong!" Li Xiang put his hand on the chair and knocked lightly. If the Qing Army was standing behind the Xuantian Sect, it would be difficult to destroy the Qing Army. Unless the Great Wall Army gave him a helping hand, he would not be able to cross. , Xuantian Sect destroyed the Qing Army.
"Let people continue to stare at Qingjun!"
"promise!"
Great Wall Legion
Zhao Li frowned with the transfer order in hand. The ferocious beasts from the north moved south in large numbers. The northern frontier army was somewhat unable to support them. The imperial capital issued a transfer order, asking the Northwest Great Wall Army to support the northern frontier army from the north.
The transfer order clearly stipulated that an army of 200,000 people should be mobilized. The army of 200,000 people would go north. There were only 100,000 troops left on the Great Wall. It would not be easy for 100,000 troops to suppress the Xuantian Sect.
"Marshal, the vanguard army has been assembled!"
"Well, you lead the army first!" Zhao Li waved.
"yes!"
The young man walked outside. In the ice and snow, a large army of red soldiers headed north, leaving a long line in the snow.
"Father!" Zhao Li's eldest son, Zhao Yulong, trotted into the hall with some snowflakes hanging on his body.
"Father, if the army is heading north, let me go for you! You need to guard this side!"
Zhao Li patted the snowflakes off Zhao Yulong's shoulders and said with a smile: "The transfer order pointed out that I need to personally lead the army northward. There is no one who will not be able to come back in a year or two!"
The Far North Icefield has been covered in ice and snow all year round. It would take at least two months to get there at this time, and a round trip would take four months!
There is no way there will be no war in the extreme northern ice field. If we delay for a while, the main force of the Great Wall Legion will not be able to come back within a year or two!
In these two years, Xuantian Sect can do a lot of things!
Zhao Li said to Zhao Yulong: "Yulong, this time the man from the East Palace has taken action! After I leave, you can just lead your soldiers to guard the key points of the passes. No matter what Xuantian Sect does, you don't need to pay too much attention. Do you know?"
Zhao Yulong nodded: "Yulong understands!"
Zhao Li smiled and patted Zhao Yulong on the shoulder: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Even if there is another person on the throne, as long as we guard the Great Wall, the Zhao family will still exist!"
"Be optimistic about Yu Ling and Yu Kun, especially Yu Kun, you know? If you encounter something that you can't handle, go to your Uncle Zhang!"
Zhao Yulong nodded, and Zhao Li walked out of the gate, mounted his horse, and headed north.
In the extreme northern ice field, the Daqian frontier army could only guard the fortress and tremble, waiting for reinforcements to come for support. Countless ferocious beasts surrounded the frontier army fortress, and a large number of wild beasts crossed these fortresses and rushed to the relatively warm grasslands in the south. superior.
Under the guidance of an unknown person, these ferocious beasts bypassed the herdsmen on the grasslands and went straight to the cities on the grasslands or tribes close to Daqian...
On the second floor of the inn not far from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a pair of eyes saw Zhao Li mounting his horse, following his guards and leaving, and he happily picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Outside the Northwest Pass, their Xuantian Sect is also in charge.
People outside the customs are not very aware of the changes in the northwest. Everyone is staying up and spending the winter quietly.
