Chutian people counted the population of Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou Pingyuan County and other places.

Yuan Shao, Zhao Long, Liu Bei, Tian Qi and other princes also kept statistics of the population and set up account books, so it was convenient for Chutian.

Chutian saw a rough estimate of the population—over all his territory, an estimated population of 100 million!

One billion ah...

Seeing the astonishing number of people, Chutian couldn't help surging.

The most important thing in troubled times is population and food. Now he has the largest population in the entire Eastern Han District!

Even in the entire "Lord" world, there are few civilizations with hundreds of millions of people.

Among the hundreds of millions of people, a considerable number are newborns.

After troubled times, there is often a birth tide. For example, Chutian has a son and a daughter.

Governments in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places encouraged childbirth, and released tenant farmers who had taken refuge in aristocratic families, resulting in rapid population growth.

With the current productivity of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is not a problem to feed a population of several hundred million.

"Xu You, you should persuade Zhang Yan, the black mountain thief, to surrender. It is best for me to use it. Zhao Yun will serve as your bodyguard."

Chutian sent Xu You to lobby Zhang Yan.

The Montenegrin Army has a large population, and most of them are civilians. If the Montenegrin Army can be incorporated, the population will increase by one million.

Xu You immediately went to lobby the Montenegrin Army.

Chutian had already given him the position of Yecheng Commander, and he kept the Montenegrin Army, which was a threat to Yecheng and was not conducive to the governance of Yecheng.

Zhang Yan can lead the Montenegrin Army, and is also a fierce general, and is regarded as one of the good leaders of the uprising army. Therefore, Chutian mainly recruited to surrender.

With nine counties of Jizhou, one county of Qingzhou, four counties of Youzhou, and two counties of Bingzhou merged into the territory of Chutian, Chutian's territory expanded a lot.

In the most populous core area of ​​Bingzhou, Shangdang County and Taiyuan County are in the hands of Chutian. As for the other counties in Bingzhou, either the population is too small, or the territory of the South Xiongnu cannot be effectively controlled for the time being.

Several counties in Yanmen County, Yunzhong County, and Dingxiang County pledged allegiance to Chutian and Huma.

Jiujiu Lao Qin's Guanzhong Corps, the military general Zhou Bo led a team of soldiers and horses, after Huma's defeat, annexed Shangjun and Xihe County in Bingzhou.

The territory of Bingzhou is huge and can be roughly divided into three areas, west of the Yellow River, east of the Yellow River, and north of the Yellow River.

The Xihe area of ​​Bingzhou is close to Guanzhong. As long as there is chaos in Bingzhou, the Guanzhong Army can easily occupy Shangjun and Xihe County.

On the contrary, if Chutian wanted to control the Xihe area, the army would first start from Yecheng, cross the Taihang Mountains, enter the Taiyuan Basin, and then face Luliang Mountain. After crossing Luliang Mountain, the Yellow River would block the road... The supply line was extremely long.

As long as the Guanzhong Army goes up the Luo River and the Yellow River, it can occupy the Xihe area without any effort.

In short, to the west of the Yellow River is the territory of Jiujiu Lao Qin, to the east of the Yellow River is the territory of Chutian, and to the north of the Yellow River is the territory of the Southern Xiongnu.

Among the three places, Taiyuan County and Shangdang County have the largest populations, and Chutian is still the biggest beneficiary, but the Xihe area and the Hetao Plain are temporarily out of reach.

This is limited by terrain and distance.

Chutian's power, bordering Jijiu Lao Qin, has one more place. In Bingzhou, with the Yellow River as the boundary, the contradiction is increasingly intensified.

"Urgent report, the Mongolian cavalry has broken through the barrier, the Great Wall is unguarded, and the Southern Huns may have been at war with the Mongolian cavalry!"

"The Southern Xiongnu mobilized all their clansmen and prepared to face the Mongolian cavalry!"

After Chutian dispatched Xu You, a scout came to inform the northern part of Bingzhou.

He paid close attention to the actions of the Mongol Empire, while raising troops and horses to pacify the three states.

The Mongol cavalry had broken into the south of the Great Wall.

"The opponent's leader is Mu Huali, one of the four cowards of the Mongolian Empire. If Xu You can recruit the Montenegrin Army and select a group of elites from the Montenegrin Army, then there will be enough troops to crusade the Mongolian cavalry who have entered the customs."

Chutian had high hopes for Xu You, who went to lobby the Montenegrin Army.

In Montenegro, Jizhou, Zhang Yan fled back to the valley here and gathered the remnants of the army. There are still 100,000 young men in the Montenegrin army.

After he returned to Montenegro, he had trouble sleeping and eating.

Zhang Yan participated in the battle of Fukouxing as a general of Zhao Long. During the battle, he was killed by Shenji Battalion and Baipao Army to the point of being terrified.

Xu You and Zhao Yun led thirty white horses from the cavalry to Montenegro.

Chen Qingzhi's white robe army had already played a powerful role in the battle of Fukouxing, so that the 100,000 Montenegrin army trembled when they saw the white robe.

"Leader, the general Chu Zimou sent someone to recruit and surrender!"

"Who is the visitor?"

"Xu You, there is also a young general in white robes, who calls himself Changshan Zhao Zilong, who will serve as Xu You's guard this time."

"Little general in white robe..."

Zhang Yan seemed to think of Zhao Yun who attacked Zhao Long's army not long ago, and couldn't help but be afraid.

Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun destroyed Zhao Long's army from the rear, and even Zhao Long was killed.

When Xu You and Zhao Yun were brought in, Zhang Yan gritted his teeth. He was no stranger to Xu You, but Zhao Yun was the one who was afraid: "The two are here, but they came to raise their teachers and ask their sins?"

"I'm here to save the general. If the general is willing to lead his troops to surrender to the general and live in Xiacheng, the general can let go of the past and place everyone in the area of ​​Jizhou and Bingzhou. Otherwise, the general will conquer in person, and once the general and the generals are defeated, , put the head down, and the family members are all slaves!"

Xu You's tone was aggressive.

If they angered the Montenegrin army, Xu You, Zhao Yun, and thirty white horse followers would be chopped up by the 100,000 Montenegrin army.

No matter how powerful Zhao Yun is, it is impossible for him to break through the 100,000-strong Black Mountain Army.

After all, this place is not Changban Slope, it is a valley terrain. As long as the mouth of the valley is blocked, the Montenegrin army all over the mountains will consume Zhao Yun to death.

But none of the 100,000 Montenegrin troops dared to move.

The Montenegrin Army was already afraid of being killed in Fukouxing, and they did not dare to resist.

What's more, now Chutian is the only general of the Han Empire, and he recruited them as a general.

Zhang Yan held her breath: "The battle of Fukouxing was commanded by the general himself?"

Xu You pretended to be profound: "No, the battle of Fukouxing was only commanded by the wife of the general. If the general came in person, only 3,000 cavalry would be needed to level the Montenegro."

There was a sound of inhalation, and the generals of the Montenegrin Army were shocked, but they were convinced.

Just the general's wife temporarily replaced the commander, and he defeated Zhao Long's 400,000 army. If he replaced the general, wouldn't it be easy to destroy the 100,000 Montenegrin army?

"Changshan really decides Zhang Yan, willing to surrender."

"I am willing to be loyal to the general."

Zhang Yan led a group of generals of the Montenegrin Army and directly surrendered to Chutian, who occupied Jizhou.

The Battle of Fukouxing really destroyed the confidence of the Montenegrin Army.

"We are actually from the same village?"

After Zhang Yan surrendered, Zhao Yun regarded Zhang Yan as his own, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Zhang Yan was the true person of Changshan.

Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Zhang Yan was stunned: "The general is also a real person from Changshan?"

"Exactly."

"This time, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple. In the future, General Zhao will take more care of it."

The unique regional culture of the Eastern Han Dynasty made Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan feel cordial.

Zhang Yan surrendered to Chutian, and was very happy to get acquainted with Zhao Yun in order to be able to get along with the Chutian forces.

"The Montenegrin Army has a population of one million and is scattered throughout the valleys of Montenegro. It will take a lot of time to settle down well."

Xu You immediately counted the population of the Heishan Army, and moved all the Heishan Army to various counties in Jizhou and Bingzhou to fill the population vacancy caused by the war.

As for Zhang Yan and dozens of important generals of the Montenegrin army, they went to Xiacheng to meet Chutian.

"My lord, Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin army surrendered, and the main leader of his command has arrived in Xiacheng!"

"Get them to the school grounds."

Zhang Yan brought many generals of the Montenegrin Army, and Chutian turned the meeting place into the school ground.

Zhang Yan and his party arrived at the school grounds, Xue Rengui, Li Guang, Yue Fei and other generals were training high-level arms, and occasionally enjoyed archery competitions.

Recruiting soldiers is also important.

The recruitment conditions for low-level arms are simple, and it is best to recruit in the front-line counties. For example, if Chutian wanted to crusade the Mongolian Empire, then recruiting a large number of low-level soldiers in Bingzhou and Youzhou would not have to travel thousands of miles. 200,000 low-level troops, using the teleportation array, consumes at least one million silver (the farther the distance, the higher the teleportation cost).

The recruitment conditions for high-level arms are complex and require high-level barracks and sophisticated equipment.

At present, the cities with the ability to recruit high-level troops mainly include Xiacheng, Yecheng, Puyang, Jinyang (Taiyuan County), Jixian and other important cities.

Among them, only Xiacheng has a tenth-level cavalry battalion and an eighth-level infantry battalion.

High-level troops can be recruited in Xiacheng, and then use the teleportation array to transport them to the required fronts in time. There are not many high-level arms, and it only takes a few thousand taels to tens of thousands of taels of silver to transmit 800 backs.

Zhang Yan, Yu Du, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Digen and other generals of the Montenegrin army could not help being horrified when they saw the superb archery skills of Xue Rengui, Li Guang, Yue Fei and others.

"These people are on par with Shi Wansui. I don't know where Shi Wansui is."

Zhang Yan saw Xue Rengui, Li Guang, Yue Fei and others shooting arrows at the school grounds, and thought of Shi Wansui, the number one general under Zhao Long.

During the Battle of Fukouxing, Shi Wansui's whereabouts are unknown.

With Shi Wansui's force, few people could stop Shi Wansui among the hundreds of thousands of troops.

Chu Tian came with Dian Wei and Yu Chi Gong.

In addition to Dian Wei, Yu Chigong also served as an escort.

Yuchigong's 400 black armored cavalry made contributions in the battle of Yuzhou, Hebei, and Jingkang, but they were almost exhausted.

Next, black armor cavalry can only be recruited in the main world.

At present, the tenth-level barracks in Xiacheng are qualified to recruit the Xuanjia Army, the Tiger Ben Army, and the White Pao Army, but they are not qualified to recruit the Knights of the Round Table.

Chutian is trying to supplement the Knights of the Round Table.

The Knights of the Round Table must have soldiers from the English civilization. The general English soldiers are not qualified to be the Knights of the Round Table.

Not only that, Chutian is still trying to abduct a group of knights from the west to replenish the knights.

Zhang Yan and his party were awe-inspiring when they saw Dian Wei and the black-faced Yu Chigong, who were as strong as cows around Chu Tian.

These two people seem to have the same force as Shi Wansui.

"Changshan Zhang Yan, I have seen the general. In the past, he was an enemy of the general, and Zhang Yan was guilty. From now on, Zhang Yan is willing to work for the general, go up the mountain of knives, get off the oil pan, and do whatever it takes!"

Zhang Yan took the initiative to plead guilty to Chu Tian.

"Ding! The diamond-level general Zhang Yan is loyal to you."

Chutian can now see the panel attributes of this legendary leader of the Montenegrin Army.

【Name】: Zhang Yan

[Talent]: Diamond-level generals (infantry)

[Level]: 80

[Identity]: Leader of the Montenegrin Army

【Loyalty】: 80

[Commander]: 81 [Force]: 86 [Intelligence]: 54 [Politics]: 48 [Charm]: 62

【Aspect】: Brave

[Favorability]: 50

[Feature 1]: Feiyan (A-level characteristic, personal speed +20%, when fighting in mountains, army marching speed +15%)

[Characteristic 2]: Mountain combat (A-level feature, during mountain combat, all army attributes +10%)

[Special Arms]: Montenegro Army (Tier 1 to Tier 3, the number is not limited, similar to the Yellow Turban Army and Yellow Turbans)

Zhang Yan's face plate is not weak, and it is a very rare mountain-type general...

Zhang Yan's speed in the mountainous terrain is extremely fast, equivalent to Xiahou Yuan in the mountains.

Maybe Zhang Yan can come in handy when attacking Yizhou, Western Regions, Goryeo, Dongying and other places in the future.

"From the Heishan Army, select 100,000 soldiers and train them as regular arms in the barracks in the counties and counties in Bingzhou and Jizhou."

Chutian canceled the establishment of the Montenegrin Army.

Although Chutian forces can recruit Taishan Bandit, Montenegrin Army, Yellow Turban Army and other special arms, Chutian has no interest in these fancy peasant armies.

It may be possible to set up a mountain corps, which will be specially used for mountain operations in the future to prepare for the entry into Shu.

When Chu Tian saw Zhang Yan's attributes, he had a whim.

Chutian's forces expanded and recruited a new batch of generals and soldiers, which required redeployment of the entire force.

Originally, Chutian set up a Guards Corps, a Fubo Corps, ten main armies, and several local defensive armies. Now it seems that it is not very applicable.

There are also Feng Yi, Cheng Yaojin and other prisoners, Chutian has not yet surrendered, but Chutian has brainwashed them to shake them.

"Choose 100,000 elites?"

Zhang Yan and the generals of the Montenegrin Army looked at each other, but Chu Tian planned to recruit 100,000 Montenegrin Army in one go, and transfer the 100,000 Heishan Army to Jizhou Army or Bingzhou Army.

The only explanation is that Chutian has another big move soon.

"Wait, from now on, serve me and fight in Monan and Mobei."

Chu Tian looked at the attributes of a group of Montenegrin generals except Zhang Yan.

The generals of the Montenegrin Army, except for Zhang Yan's better-looking panel, are generally between 50-70 in command, and between 60-80 in force, generally worrying about intelligence and internal affairs, and they don't look very smart.

This group of generals of the Montenegrin Army can fill the vacancies of the third- and fourth-tier generals.

Hua Mulan, holding her daughter, was watching the soldiers training at the school grounds with a doting face. After her daughter was born, Hua Mulan, who usually fought and killed, became a good wife and mother, and she became much gentler.

Joan of Arc followed Hua Mulan and saw that Chu Tian summoned Zhang Yan and other Montenegrin generals at the school grounds.

Hua Mulan noticed Joan of Arc's hesitation: "Don't worry, Sister Xia said, take a bath tonight and come to the lord's mansion."
