"No one but me?"
Zhang Liao's eyes lit up. So his lord had something important to give him! He exclaimed excitedly, "My lord, please give your orders! Zhang Liao will not hesitate!"
good!
Lin Yi liked his attitude and solemnly said, "With 100,000 troops entering Heavenly Pillar Peak, Xiliang Commandery will be left in an unprecedented vacuum. To avoid being caught off guard by Tuoba Yu, we need a capable person to guard Dayu County!"
Dayu County is the closest to Great Yu Mountain. Once Tuoba Yu leaves the pass, Dayu County will be the first to be affected, so it is necessary to send people to guard it.
He knew perfectly well that Tuoba Yu, who could win ten battles in a row and earn the title of Great General Divine Eagle, was definitely not a good-for-nothing. Underestimating him would definitely come at a price.
Therefore, we must be prepared, otherwise, there may be big problems.
Now that 100,000 troops have been transferred away, the remaining forces are few. Ordinary men cannot withstand Tuoba Yu, let alone win with fewer troops; only Zhang Liao can do it.
Looking at Zhang Liao's record, most of them were amazing battles where he won with fewer troops. He had to shoulder this difficult task.
"Haha, my lord, rest assured, I, Zhang Liao, am the right person!" Zhang Liao, who had been restless for a long time, thumped his chest loudly upon hearing this.
The lord himself believes he is the most capable candidate; that's what gives him prestige.
Hahaha!
Lin Yi was satisfied with his attitude and smiled, " Wenyuan, I'll give you 20,000 elite Yellow Turbans troops to guard Dayu County. Are you confident in your abilities?"
"Rest assured, my lord, I will defend Dayu County for you. No one can stop me!"
"Haha, I love Wenyuan's domineering attitude. Well then, Dayu County is yours to handle."
"Hey-hey!"
Zhang Liao chuckled to himself, this was an opportunity, a chance to make a name for himself.
Although the Yellow Turban Army was not particularly formidable, its elite Yellow Turban Army were quite capable in combat and were especially adept at defending cities.
The key point is that once he gets this opportunity, he will have the capital to compete with Ma Chao; these 20,000 elite Yellow Turban Army are his capital.
Cool!
Just then, as if sensing his gaze, Ma Chao turned his head and looked over. Their eyes met instantly, and it seemed as if sparks flew in the air.
Both men were full of spirit. In literature, there is no first place, but in martial arts, there is no second. In this day and age, if you want to be a man, be the most powerful general under your lord. That is the way to be king!
Hahaha!
Seeing the two men locked in a fierce battle of wits, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. With these two so full of energy, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Dayu County would surely be no problem.
With Zhang Liao around, it won't be easy for Tuoba Yu, the Great General Divine Eagle, to take flight. Zhang Liao is a renowned and miraculous general, the epitome of winning with fewer troops, and his achievements are even more exaggerated than Tuoba Yu's.
However, defending Dayu County requires more than just military force; it also needs the support of some facilities to ensure absolute safety!
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Chen Qun and said in a deep voice, " Changwen, the priority for the construction of Xiliang Commandery is to build Dayu County and construct a complete defensive belt. I don't think Tuoba Yu will give us a chance to develop."
Tuoba Yu wasn't stupid. If Xiliang rose too quickly, it would definitely not be a good thing for him. He might even cause trouble ahead of time.
Let alone him, even the Prince of Beining Commandery would probably take action!
However, compared to the Prince of Beining Commandery, who can only cause trouble in secret, the only one he needs to guard against is Tuoba Yu.
"Understood, sir." Chen Qun nodded and immediately wrote it down.
"This time, the construction shouldn't be done discreetly; on the contrary, it should be carried out openly and ostentatiously. It would be even better if it could draw the enemy's attention to Xiliang Commandery."
"I see!"
Chen Qun's eyes lit up. He instantly realized his lord's intentions and couldn't help but marvel.
This is a classic case of feigning one move while secretly making another!
In this way, people would think that Xiliang Commandery was mainly defensive and had no intention of expansion. But they didn't know that this was just a pretext to cover up the construction of the Great Yu Mountain base and the Great Wall.
If it is successfully built, it will probably shock the All Under Heaven!
Moreover, with the pretext of building Xiliang Commandery, it's understandable that Heavenly Pillar Peak would make some noise. After all, construction requires stones and wood, so there's nothing wrong with us collecting some.
That makes perfect sense!
Having arranged everything in one go, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief; now all he had to do was wait for the results.
A thought suddenly occurred to him: Pu Yuan.
The combat effectiveness of an army depends not only on training but also on weapons and equipment, which is why Heavenly Craft Workshop is so important to him.
He looked at Chen Qun and said in a deep voice, " Changwen, what progress has been made in Pu Yuan? Heavenly Craft Workshop should be on track by now, right?"
The task of Heavenly Craft Workshop. In addition to crafting some necessary tools, it also needs to produce divine swords and replicate Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. Pu Yuan is probably under a lot of pressure.
That's right, it's a counterfeit!
The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is complex to manufacture, Lin Yi only has two thousand finished products. The specific manufacturing process still needs to be carefully studied in order to perfectly replicate it.
Once these two things are sorted out, along with the three essential items for horseback riding that I've created, it will be enough to arm the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to the teeth. At that point, even the Great General Divine Eagle Tuoba Yu will probably be stunned by the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow!
The only pity is that I didn't get the battle armor, so I'll just have to let Pu Yuan research it himself.
However, the armies rewarded by the system come with their own weapons and equipment, so there's no rush to improve the armor. The immediate priority is to enhance attack power; everything else can be considered later.
"My lord, Pu Yuan has recruited over two thousand blacksmiths from among the Yellow Turbans. The Heavenly Craft Workshop is now taking shape and has begun forging divine swords. The imitation of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow is also showing promise, but it is still slightly inferior to the original, so Pu Yuan is still researching it," Chen Qun replied.
More than two thousand blacksmiths?
Lin Yi was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the Yellow Turban Army was indeed full of hidden talents, with so many blacksmiths.
However, this is also good, as it allows for quick equipment replacement and enhancement, making the Xiliang Iron Cavalry even more lethal.
He instructed, "The supplies from Heavenly Craft Workshop must be guaranteed. These weapons will be key to our victory; there can be no cutting corners!"
"Understood!"
Chen Qun nodded. He naturally understood this principle; sharpening the axe wouldn't delay the work of chopping wood.
After receiving the task, Jia Xu and the others dared not slack off and immediately began to implement the plan. This matter was related to the development of Xiliang Commandery, so they had to go all out.
For a moment, only Wang Yue and Lin Yi remained in the room.
Wang Yue was also feeling uneasy. His lord had left him here alone; was he going to have him build this road? That wasn't something he was good at.
" Wang Yue, go and gather all the masons in Xiliang Commandery!" Lin Yi suddenly said.
