"We'll talk about this later..."

Chutian arranged a list of those left behind, and left an army of 3,700 people to garrison Xiacheng.

He planned to lead 500 light cavalry, 700 Shesheng battalion, and 800 Xiliu battalion to participate in the battle of Anshicheng, all the elites of Xiacheng.

Chutian also left a three-month construction plan for Xiacheng. Although Chutian is not in Xiacheng, Xiacheng will continue to develop into a medium-sized city.

Upgrading to a medium-sized city requires a population of 160,000, which will be impossible to achieve in a while, and the reward is already less than that of the world's largest city.

"After the wheat harvest in early July is completed, tens of thousands of acres of new fields will be opened up and ready to be planted in October... The scale of gold and iron ore mining in Shangbi Town should also be expanded, and 2,000 people will be relocated from Jiu Town in Hedong. Go to Shangbi Town for mining. Because the easternmost town in the nine towns in Hedong is close to the hills to the east, there are Grade 4 forest resources nearby, and a Grade 4 logging farm and wood processing workshop can be built locally.”

As the lord, Chutian explained the construction plan for the next three months as much as possible, and ensured that the territory could develop normally when he was away.

"Lord Lord."

Summer cool knocks on the door and comes in.

"I just have something to tell you. You, Li Kui and Liu Sandao will stay in Xiacheng for three months. During this time, you should pay special attention to the movements of Yangdu County, Tan County and Taishan County. In addition, during this time, select qualified candidates. Xiangyong, at the end of September, recruited 500 infantrymen from the Xiliu Battalion and 500 archers from the Shesheng Battalion. Their recruitment cycle is one month. Just after I came back in October, the recruited Xiliu Battalion and the Shesheng Battalion could be replenished. loss."

"Liu Sandao is in charge of the military, Li Kui is in charge of the administration, and you are in charge of the finances. It just happens that the three powers are balanced... Continue to trade with the Mi family..."

"Although the Battle Spirit Guild in Yangdu County is still dead, we must prevent them from making a comeback. If necessary, you can discuss with Li Kui so that Liu Sandao can lead his troops to pacify some small lords nearby."

Chu Tian had already summoned Li Kui and Liu Sandao before, and ordered them to continue. He was most worried about Xia Xia Liang. What she needed to deal with was the relationship between Xia Cheng and the players, and at the same time, she monitored the movements of nearby players for Chu Tian.

"Um."

Xia Xia Liang wrote down Chu Tian's orders one by one.

It took Chutian an hour to explain what Xia Liang had to do.

"You can go down."

Chutian plans to recall Zhou Yafu from Hedong Jiu Town, and the public sentiment and public order in Hedong Jiu Town have basically returned to normal levels.

In the summer, the cold still did not move.

"Do you have anything else to report?"

Chutian still knows a few important subordinates very well, and he can detect some anomalies.

Chu Tian, ​​who was sorting out the documents, looked up at Xia Xian Liang, but saw that her breathing was a little short, and her tone was a little trembling.

"Tonight... I can... I can stay in... the lord's mansion..."

"What the hell happened?"

Chu Tian was puzzled.

Xia Xia Liang saw that Chu Tian was confused, and couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't you tell Fang Xuanling to tell me?"

"Fang Xuanling?"

Chutian understood, most of the time, Fang Xuanling made up his own mind and attacked Xia Xia Liang, making her think that Chu Tian wanted her to "guarantee her loyalty".

"No matter what Fang Xuanling said to you, I have always used people without suspicion. I chose to make you one of the three people who stayed in Xiacheng because of my trust in you. Moreover, I will not pass this. a way to gain the loyalty of your subordinates.”

Chu Tian persevered.

It is estimated that in Fang Xuanling's view, in order to expand his power, it is nothing for the lord to accept a woman casually. In ancient times, it was not uncommon for various forces to marry in order to survive, expand, and gain the support of nobles, let alone a subordinate.

In ancient times, the candidates for marriage were just tools, behind which was the balance of power competition.

Xia Xianliang whispered: "If it was someone else, I wouldn't want it..."

"Anything else?"

"there is none left.

"

Xia Xian Liang packed up his mood and left with the paper in his hands.

Hua Mulan was standing outside the door waiting to be received. At this time, seeing Xia Xia Liang's footsteps hurried out, she asked curiously, "Sister Xia, does the lord blame you?"

Xia Xia Liang didn't expect Hua Mulan to be waiting outside, so he had to pretend to be calm: "Sister Mulan, things are not what you imagined..."

Chutian was writing a military order calling Zhou Yafu back, and Hua Mulan knocked on the door to see him.

"My lord, what happened to Miss Xia just now?"

"Have the cavalry been trained?"

Chu Tian quickly changed the subject to prevent Mulan from learning badly.

Sure enough, after mentioning the matter of military training, Hua Mulan reported seriously: "Five hundred of the best cavalry are ready."

Chutian is still very satisfied with Mulan. Currently, Mulan's loyalty has reached an astonishing 92, and her favorability rating is 81. She can play and watch.

However, Chutian saw Hua Mulan either wearing iron armor, cloth armor, or leather armor, basically the attire of a military general, and rarely saw a long skirt: "The cloth I gave you last time in Luoyang can be used when I have time. Find a tailor."

Mulan's answer was neat: "The current outfit is more flexible."

"Occasionally change the attire, maybe there will be a new experience."

Chutian instilled some strange thoughts into Mulan.

"Yes."

After Hua Mulan agreed, she reported the equipment of the cavalry to Chu Tian.

Xiacheng has specialized military craftsmen to build weapons for soldiers.

The first-order light cavalry is equipped with bronze-level ring-headed swords, longbows or individual crossbows, and leather armor.

The second-tier elite light cavalry are better treated, they are equipped with more sophisticated weapons, generally equipped with silver-level swords, longbows and armor, and they are also equipped with short spears that can be thrown.

Mulan concluded: "There were 347 first-order light cavalry and 153 second-order light cavalry."

It's not that Chutian doesn't want to form a higher-level cavalry unit, but the problem is the lack of good horses.

The secondary pastures in Lingyan Town can raise war horses, and good horses are also required as stallions.

Chutian considered buying war horses from the lords of the frontier.

Especially the Liangzhou horse they saw in Luoyang made Chutian and Hua Mulan jealous.

"My corps in this expedition has the lords of Western Liaoning and Bingzhou, so it doesn't matter if our cavalry is not strong. You can borrow a team of cavalry from them. They should be happy to lend me cavalry."

There is a cavalry hero Hua Mulan on Chutian's side. She lacks cavalry of the third rank and above, so she can only deceive the cavalry of other lords.

In order to obtain the bonus of Hua Mulan, most of the other lords agreed to borrow cavalry to Chutian, because the military merits made by the cavalry belonged to their lords.

"You go down."

Chu Tian sent Mulan down.

"What kind of dress do you think looks good, Lord?"

Before Hua Mulan retreated, she asked without a thought.

"You can ask Miss Xia for her opinion."

Chutian found that Hua Mulan was finally a little enlightened, unlike before, she has been taciturn.

The next step is to transfer Zhou Yafuzheng back to make the final preparations.

Hua Mulan returned to her residence, holding the cloth that Chutian gave her, she actually went to the tailor and asked to change it into a long skirt.
