Chapter 281 Conquering Houguan City

"My Lord, if it weren't for the cholera in the city, we would have prepared to move camp and march!" Liu Feng said softly.

"Okay! How many prisoners did we capture from the original Dongye County army? How is the reorganization?" Lin Mu asked.

"Under Liu Pi's management, Dongye County has reached a scale of 500,000 soldiers, of which 250,000 are government soldiers recruited within Dongye County, and the other 250,000 are Liu Pi's Taoists who moved from Taimo City. They moved before Xu Zhao rebelled!" Liu Feng said without thinking.

"Taimu City? A city still under the name of the court?" Lin Mu said softly.

"Yes! At present, Taimo City is the only court city in the county." Dongye County is now under the control of Lin Mu, so it is not considered a court city for the time being.

"How is Taimo City now?" Lin Mu asked, changing the subject.

"Like Zhuji City, Wushang City, and Yuyao City, Taimo City has gathered a large number of foreign forces in Kuaiji County. They have all joined the imperial court to attack Xu Zhao!" Liu Feng told the current movements of most players in Kuaiji County.

"Haha, the player forces have begun to participate in the action to attack Xu Zhao! I really want to meet these player geniuses!" Lin Mu whispered to himself.

"Okay, continue to talk about the situation of our soldiers in Dongye County!"

"Yes, lord! Originally, Liu Pi planned to arm 400,000 soldiers to go on an expedition to attack Xu Zhao, and the remaining 100,000 would be left as city defense! When we captured the city before, we killed 50,000 stubborn elements. So, in the end, we captured 450,000 soldiers!"

"What about other gains?"

"The harvest is huge! We harvested 400,000 marching supplies in the county lieutenant camp warehouse, including marching tents, medicines, equipment, war horses, food, etc., and the harvest is rich!" Liu Feng talked about the harvest, and his face was full of joy.

"That's great. We have always lacked marching tents. Long-distance marches put a lot of pressure on soldiers. Such a large amount of supplies will be of great help to us in capturing Houguan City and Yin County City, and can reduce the financial pressure of the territory." Lin Mu said.

"How many war horses did you harvest?" Lin Mu asked again.

"A total of 7,000! These are excellent war horses, which can be initially armed into an ordinary cavalry!" Liu Feng had a deep grudge against war horses. In one word, there were few! Although Lin Mu allowed the soldiers to choose the dragon scale horses in the territory, many soldiers could not get the recognition of the dragon scale horses and were not even qualified to ride them.

And Lin Mu was going to establish a super cavalry, and the dragon scale horses had never had a chance to appear. Only some generals were qualified to have them!

"Seven thousand war horses will be rewarded to meritorious people later, forming a streamlined ordinary cavalry as a sharp knife!"

"My opinion is the same as the lord. The war horses have been distributed! They have been in training these days!" Liu Feng had already made up his mind.

"Well, Liu Feng, your strategic foresight is still very good!" Lin Mu praised.

Liu Feng nodded and smiled, without any modesty.

"How many soldiers do we have in Dongye County now?" Lin Mu asked again.

"We have reorganized the original soldiers of Dongye County and inserted our loyal generals to lead them. If we go on an expedition, plus the original 150,000 True Dragon Legion soldiers, the number of soldiers going on an expedition can reach 450,000! The remaining 150,000 are for city defense and to maintain the city!"

"Lord, many of the soldiers harvested in Dongye County are not highly qualified. Do we need to cut the soldiers?" Liu Feng asked.

This is a policy issue, a territory military policy issue, and Liu Feng must ask Lin Mu clearly.

"No need to cut the soldiers anymore, it's time to increase the number of our territory's troops! The quality must be checked, but the quantity also needs to be increased..." Lin Mu clenched the five fingers of his right hand and said in a deep voice.

"He Yuan has 400,000 soldiers in Juzhang City. Together with his headquarters, the number of soldiers that can fight has reached 450,000. With the layout of the Night Shadow Department, it should be no problem to take over Yan County City! Liu Feng, we also need to take action here!"

"Hehe, then let's compete with He Yuan to see who will capture Yin County City first!" Liu Feng said with a face full of fighting spirit.

Among the five coastal cities, Dongye City and Juzhang City are already in the bag. Next is Yan County City and Houguan City, and finally they will join forces in Yin County City!

"Okay, your two armies have similar military strength and marching progress. At that time, I will see who will attack Yin County City first. If whoever wins, there will be a big reward!" Lin Mu didn't expect Liu Feng to have a desire to win and want to compete with He Yuan.

"Oh, lord, what is the reward?" Since the lord Lin Mu said so solemnly, there must be a treasure, Liu Feng couldn't help asking.

"Anyway, it's a good thing, a rare item to increase your own strength!" Lin Mu said with a mysterious smile. The reward he mentioned was the soul talisman of the third-rate historical general!

When Liu Feng wanted to continue asking questions, a group of people walked into the hall.

"My Lord, we have finished the business and are back!" It was Li Dian who came to the county government with Yun Wu, Cui Wu and others and interrupted Liu Feng's words.

After a while, Wang Sheng and others also came back, and all of a sudden, there were more people in the hall.

"My Lord, the basic order in the city has been restored. One hundred thousand soldiers patrol in shifts, and the order is slowly returning to normal! The frightened citizens are also slowly recovering!" Wang Sheng reported back.

"Are there any casualties in suppressing the rebellion of the aliens this time?" Lin Mu asked.

"Reporting to the Lord, no! These aliens seem to be very afraid of our soldiers. As soon as we appear, they start to panic and even start to run for their lives. There are very few aliens who resist!" Wang Sheng said with some doubts.

Lin Mu nodded.

Players will be scared when they see soldiers in large numbers. They are thieves. When they encounter the "government soldiers", they will flee like mice seeing cats. The majesty of the system has always been a sword hanging over the hearts of players!

"Okay! Let the 150,000 city defenders deal with the remaining tails. It's time for us to prepare for the expedition and go north to capture Houguan City!" Lin Mu said.

"Liu Feng, you continue to be the commander-in-chief, Yunwu, Wang Sheng, Zhang Xiaohu, and Shangong are deputy generals, leading 450,000 elite soldiers to go north and attack Houguan City! Continue to implement the [Three Lights Policy], is there any problem?"

"No problem, lord!"

"Okay, Yunwu, you are new to this big family, and there are many things you need to familiarize yourself with. Just follow Wang Sheng and let him introduce the specific situation to you. Is there any problem?" Lin Mu turned and looked at Yunwu, who was a little restrained and silent, and said softly.

"No problem!" Yunwu said in a rough voice.

"Lord, don't worry, Yunwu will be handed over to me!" The big man Wang Sheng next to him patted his chest and assured.

Lin Mu nodded, then turned to look at Li Dian, and said softly: "Mancheng, it is inconvenient for you to attack Xu Zhao, so just stay with me!"

"Yes, my lord!" Li Dian nodded.

"By the way, Liu Feng, you are the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief is the heart of the army! These talismans were obtained by killing Liu Pi. I will give you one. In an emergency, if you need it, don't be stingy. Preserving yourself is the most important thing, understand?" Lin Mu handed the Vajra Talisman to Liu Feng and whispered.

This Vajra Talisman was the last one obtained from Liu Pi's relics. It is very precious. Lin Mu still gave it to Liu Feng, which shows that he attaches great importance to Liu Feng's safety.

"Yes, my lord!" Liu Feng took it without hesitation. Lin Mu attached great importance to his safety. He had given him precious props such as the Xuan-level Strong Light Talisman before, and now he was given the more rare Vajra Talisman, which touched him very much.

"Okay! Rest for a night, and everyone will start tomorrow morning!"
