Chapter 253 I Am Guilty, I Apologize

A few days later, the generals of the Black Armored Army gathered together again.

The Wuji Zhen family was worthy of being a wealthy businessman in the late Han Dynasty. In five days, Li Cai actually brought 50,000 sets of iron-grade equipment to Shang Ji.

According to Li Cai, these equipments were gathered overnight by the Zhen family from various regions of the country, and then dispatched hundreds of elites to send them to Shang Ji with space equipment.

Although space equipment is scarce, with the background of the Zhen family, it is natural that there will be no shortage.

And Shang Ji, the elite soldier that Li Cai mentioned, also saw him, hundreds of all seven-rank special arms, which made Shang Ji stare, and the leader was an ordinary super-class general.

Through the tip of the iceberg, Shang Ji had a preliminary understanding of the rich heritage of the Zhen family.

When the equipment was delivered, Shang Ji would naturally not break his promise, and immediately handed over 500,000 war horses to Li Cai. As for how the Zhen family transported these war horses back, it was none of Shang Ji's business.

But looking at Li Cai's elated look, it was clear that such a trivial matter would not bother the powerful Zhen family.

The biggest obstacle hindering the expansion of the army has been resolved, and everyone naturally needs to expand the army with all their strength. Over the past few days, including Shang Ji himself, everyone has been obsessed with the training ground day and night, full-time training and transformation into exclusive special arms.

"Everyone, let's report on the results of this recent stage!" Shang Ji sat at the head and said with a smile.

"My lord!" Wang Shu got up first.

Since Shang Ji recommended Wang Shu as a lieutenant, Wang Shu has completely returned his heart, accepted the master and served, and became the number one master under Shang Ji's command (Liu Yi's special status does not count, Tai Shici did not serve).

"After hard work day and night by all of you, we have basically completed the initial plan for expanding our army. At present, our army has 10,000 Black Armored Black Cavalry, 10,000 Wolf Cavalry, 10,000 Dayan Iron Cavalry, and 10,000 Lieyang Cavalry. There are also 20,000 soldiers with bows and cavalry, and 20,000 long-shot and strong crossbows each. Since General Lu Kuang is busy training the new attached army, the expansion of the heavy armored swordsman is postponed with the permission of the lord. As for the giant axe and the strong crossbow of the Northland, due to time constraints , the expansion has not yet been completed.”

"Very well, everyone has worked hard during this time."

After listening to Wang Shu's report, Shang Ji nodded in satisfaction. There are more than 100,000 special arms, which are several times stronger than when he was in the black water fortress, not to mention there are 300,000 regular arms.

"Yi Jie (Lv Kuang's character), how about the training of the new attached army?"

"Report to my lord!" Lu Kuang immediately got up and replied respectfully, "Thanks to your lord's reputation, the training of the new attached army is going well. Because of the large rewards from your lord, the soldiers in the army are very loyal to your lord and their morale is also high. increased in magnitude.”

"It's just that too many elite soldiers have been removed from the training to transform into special arms, so the combat power of the regular soldier army may drop slightly, but as time goes by and the training goes on, the combat power will definitely rise and even surpass it before!"

The power of money is enormous. Seeing that Pao Ze, who went out to fight in the city, received a large sum of rewards, but he only had a small consolation prize. The more than 200,000 soldiers who did not participate in the battle in the city can't wait to come out with a million Xianbei troops to kill him now.

Stimulated by money, coupled with Lu Kuang's rigorous training, the Xiangping Army has barely met Shang Ji's requirements in terms of morale and fighting spirit.

"Continue training, don't slack off, and strive to train all the 300,000 defenders into Tier 4 elites!" Tier 3 soldiers are becoming less and less able to enter the eyes of businessmen, and the requirements for the combat power of the troops under their command are getting higher and higher.

"Yes, I would like to obey the command of the lord!" Lu Kuang replied loudly.

After learning about the military, Shang Ji turned his attention to Deng Yan: "Hong Zhu, how is the situation in the city? Are there any difficulties?"

"Brother!" Deng Yan's face was full of fatigue, and his voice was hoarse: "With the strong support of Brother Zhongzhi, Brother Yu managed to sort out all the affairs in the city. Because my brother generously exempted the whole city from money, food and taxes for two months, the people all respected him. Thanks to Dade, the hearts of the people in the city have rapidly improved, and they have initially escaped the danger of large-scale riots that may erupt at any time!"

These days, it's not just Shang Ji and others who are tired, Deng Yan is even more busy. Government affairs are much more complicated than military affairs. What's more, Xiangping City has just experienced a major war. Deng Yan needs to deal with post-disaster reconstruction, resettlement of displaced people, refugee relief, etc. one by one.

At the same time, he has to be distracted from being responsible for the transaction with Li Cai and dealing with combat items.

"Pay attention to your health, don't wear yourself out. Officials in the original Xiangping city can select the best and keep them. With the army of brothers, they can't make any big waves!"

Looking at Deng Yan, who was obviously aging, Shang Ji felt guilty and ashamed, and persuaded him.

Deng Yan hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, but finally nodded his head as he agreed. Doing everything by yourself, one person really can't handle it.

"Recently, in order to appease people, a lot of money and food have been consumed. In the past few days, we have spent more than one million gold on civil affairs."

At the end, Deng Yan added another sentence.

"It doesn't matter! As long as the money you think should be spent, you can spend it, and if you don't have enough, you can ask for it!" Shang Ji waved his big hand, and said quite boldly.

After trading war horses with Li Cai, after deducting the cost of equipment, Shang Ji still got 5.5 million gold (500,000 for selling "junk" money), plus the original more than 10 million, Shang Ji is currently very rich in funds.

"My lord, I have something to report at the end!"

Guo Biao got up and said.

"What is it?"

"Wang Tongyan, please help my lord!"

Because Liu Meng needed to change jobs to train wolf cavalry, Shang Ji handed over the task of supervising Wang Tong to Guo Biao.

"Help? What help? Could it be that you threatened Wang Tong?" Shang Ji asked with a frown

Shang Ji's first reaction when he heard the words was that the generals under his command acted privately, intending to hurt Wang Tong, otherwise how could Wang Tong call for help? Although he was under house arrest by Shang Ji, who in Xiangping City could threaten his life except Shang Ji?

"My lord Mingjian, without my lord's order, the general would never dare to act without permission!" Seeing that Shang Ji wanted to blame him, Guo Biao immediately leaned over and said.

"Get up, I don't blame you!" I still believe in Guo Biao's loyalty business.

"Why did Wang Tong Keyan save his life? Who wants to take his life?" Shang Ji asked.

"He never said, he just asked to see the lord!" Guo Biao replied truthfully.

"At such a time, how dare this Wang Tong give me a sloppy eye?"

"Haha, brother, are you busy and confused?" Seeing Shang Ji's doubts, Liu Yi stood up and laughed.

Shang Ji's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he looked at Liu Yi and said, "Oh? Brother, do you know the reason?"

"My dear brother, do you remember Wang Tong's new official position?" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Huh? General Yulu Zhonglang?!"

After Liu Yi's reminder, Shang Ji immediately realized that Wang Tong also shouldered the responsibility of leading the army to support Yuyang and other places!

Now the deadline set by the emperor is coming soon, if the deadline is missed, Wang Tong's life will definitely be lost!

"Hey, so I have to go and meet this Wang Zhonglang!"

Shang Ji suddenly let out a smirk, obviously playing Wang Tong's idea again.
