Previously, the Yellow Turban Faction players who attacked Mountain Town did not choose Jiang Ji's Wutun Town as their target. To a large extent, they thought that Jiang Ji's Wutun Town was just like the Han Ting Territory that Yang Rui had reclaimed. They did not realize that Jiang Ji's Wutun Town had already been conquered by Yang Rui and had become his second base.
If the 30000 Yellow Turban Faction players targeted Jiangji Wutun Town, Qi Zheng and the others might not be able to defend it. Thus, when Yang Rui came to Jiangji Wutun Town, he brought along the 16 Beginner Generals to help defend Jiangji Wutun Town.
"Welcome back, Milord!"
When they found out that Yang Rui had come to Jiangji Wutun Town, Qi Zheng, Tian Bao, Zhang Chen, Mo Lin, Chen Li, and Chen Ping came to greet him.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Yang Rui returned the greeting.
After the meeting, Yang Rui first brought Qi Zheng and the others to check out Wutun Town in Jiangji. Then, they came to the meeting room.
"Reporting to Milord, the town's population has increased by a lot. Although Milord has pacified the Yellow Turban Faction in Yan Province and allowed the refugees to return to their hometowns, the current famine is still very serious. Thus, the number of refugees is still very high. We have followed Milord's instructions and were able to subdue one or two refugees from time to time.
Even the refugees who were not willing to submit before, after returning to their hometowns and having no hope of making a living, many of them returned. Thus, the town's population has reached 8500 people! Furthermore, it is still increasing. "
Qi Zheng was the first to report. Yang Rui had already discovered the increase in population when he was investigating Jiangji Wutun Town.
"That is good!" Yang Rui nodded.
At the same time, Yang Rui also knew that Jiangji Wutun Town was in urgent need of upgrading its territory. Otherwise, it would soon reach the upper limit of 10000 people and would not be able to continue growing.
However. Although Jiang Ji's Wutong Town was already Yang Rui's territory and the various conditions had already met the requirements to level up, the "level up" option was always in a gray state. For some unknown reason, it was temporarily unable to level up the territory.
It was not only Jiangji Wutun Town, even the Ink Village was. According to the standard, it should have already met the requirements for upgrading, but the "upgrade" option "option was still in a gray state. Was unable to upgrade! Yang Rui couldn't find the reason for it, so he could only explore it slowly.
The new population in Wutun Town in Jiangji had also developed a lot of land. The land was more than 15000 mu. Although the production was not high due to the drought, it was not enough to feed the people. On the other hand, with the increase in the population, the other economic buildings such as the logging and quarries had also been put in people and started to operate. Although it was much smaller than Mountain Town, it was enough to meet the needs of Jiangji Wutun Town's construction.
Overall, Jiangji Wutun Town was on the right track compared to the time when there was a lack of Liegeman. Yang Rui left the 16 Beginner Generals in Jiangji Wutun Town and left.
At the same time, Gaoqiao Town's bandit stronghold was closer to Jiangji Wutun Town. Yang Rui knew about the situation of the stronghold from Qi Zheng and did not take a detour to investigate. Ma Zhuangqiang's camp was too far away, so Yang Rui went straight to Juping Town. He planned to check out the Wenshui bandit's camp on his way back to Mountain Town.
These occupied strongholds were of great use to Yang Rui at the moment. He could use the characteristics of the rebel camp to upgrade the soldiers. However, once this characteristic was changed in the System Update, Yang Rui was not sure if these strongholds would still have any value!
Yang Rui quickly arrived at Juping Town. He hurriedly bought the necessary building blueprints and headed towards' A pint of incense '.
Before this, Yang Rui had signed an agreement with the CU Alliance to supply 2000 horses for 3 months in order to obtain the orange mission scroll. Yang Rui came to 'A pint of incense' to see if they had any horses to hand over.
While Yang Rui was participating in the [Battle of Guang Zong], 'A pint of incense' had given Mountain Town another 500 horses. In addition to the 100 horses that Chi Zhong had bought from the supermarket, Yang Rui currently had over 2000 horses in his hands!
However, if the agreement with the CU Alliance expired and he could not obtain more horses, Yang Rui would have to give up his 2000 horses to the enemy! When that happened, the 1500 Fourth Grade cavalrymen would lose their horses and become foot soldiers. Their combat strength would greatly decrease!
After finding Shopkeeper Zhao, the two of them exchanged pleasantries. It was already late at night. Yang Rui was invited to drink with Shopkeeper Zhao, so it was inevitable that they would exchange drinks. During the banquet, they talked about the horses the most. Just as Yang Rui expected, 'A pint of incense' would not be able to deliver any more horses in a short period of time. However, Shopkeeper Zhao still promised to hurry up and try to satisfy Yang Rui's needs.
However, it was very difficult to supply 2000 horses in 3 months, so Shopkeeper Zhao made it clear. Yang Rui could only think of other ways. Fortunately, he had the super market and could purchase horses all over the world. Moreover, Yang Rui had met two horse merchants when he was in Ji Zhou and signed a contract with them to supply 500 horses to Yang Rui every month. However, he did not know if they could do it!
The next day, before the sun had even risen, Yang Rui woke up early and rode to the Wenshui pirate camp. Once again, it took Yang Rui more than two hours to arrive at the Wenyang pirate camp.
The Wenyang pirate camp was located upstream of Wenshui and had a good strategic location. It could also be used to upgrade soldiers. As such, it was one of the strongholds that Yang Rui valued the most. It was also one of the few strongholds that he had stationed soldiers there!
The other stronghold was the Ma Zhuangqiang camp. Yang Rui needed that place to upgrade his archer class, so he had stationed a small number of soldiers there as well. As the Ma Zhuangqiang camp was located in the most remote area, very few players or NPCs would go there. Only a small number of soldiers were needed to guard it.
The Wenyang pirate camp was quite far from the shore, so Yang Rui only stopped to check it from afar. After confirming that there was no abnormality, he went to Xiaohui's Water Origin Village.
Yang Rui's other purpose in coming to Wenshui was to visit Water Origin Village. First, he wanted to visit Xiaohui, especially to check on her basic internal strength training. Also, Yang Rui had placed a large number of Yellow Turban family members here. He wanted to see what kind of state they were in after the main storyline of the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended.
Unexpectedly, Xiaohui was not in the territory. Yang Rui was also blocked by the Liegeman of Water Origin Village, so he could not enter. Although Water Origin Village was no longer in the opposing faction, Yang Rui could not enter because he had not received the lord's approval. Yang Rui could only see from afar that there were many Liegeman with yellow names in Water Origin Village. They were probably the Yellow Turban family members that Yang Rui had brought over.
Yang Rui did not waste much time here. The system update would be carried out in three or four game days. When the time came, he could just ask Xiaohui about it offline! Thus, Yang Rui once again rushed back to Mountain Town without stopping.
It was not yet noon when he returned to Mountain Town. Yang Rui gave the necessary blueprints to Wang Hai and asked him to organize the Liegeman to upgrade the buildings. At the same time, Yang Rui gave the blueprints of the Dragon King Temple that he had obtained from the Dragon Soul to Wang Hai and asked him to organize the Liegeman to build it.
Yang Rui promoted the 52 Third Grade archers that Wang Hai had selected to Fourth Grade. He also sent Li Dong and Sun Bao to lead these archers to Ma Zhuang Qiang's camp and use the rebel army camp to continue upgrading.
After that, Yang Rui used the rebel army camp to upgrade all the Third Grade footmen to Fourth Grade footmen. He also picked out the 200 Second Grade soldiers that had a chance of advancing to Third Grade in the near future and handed them to 30 beginner generals in Mountain Town to train them personally. He wanted these soldiers to advance to Third Grade in two to three days. Then, he would use the rebel army camp to upgrade them to Fourth Grade!
After a busy afternoon, Yang Rui found that he now had 94 Fifth Grade soldiers under his command. Among them, there were forty-two Fifth Grade bandit leaders, fifty-two Fifth Grade archers, over four hundred Fourth Grade soldiers, two thousand Fourth Grade cavalry, and two thousand Fourth Grade infantry. There were no Third Grade soldiers at the moment, as they had all been upgraded. There were nearly two hundred Second Grade soldiers, and nearly two hundred First Grade militia. The total number of soldiers exceeded eight hundred and six hundred, making up nearly a third of the total population of the territory!
This was also the result of Yang Rui's request to fully utilize the attributes of the rebel army camp to develop their military strength. Even so, Yang Rui still felt a little regretful. If he could have his current wealth of close to 400,000 gold coins, under a situation where his food and clothing were guaranteed, Yang Rui could still open up and develop more soldiers!
Moreover, 8600 soldiers might seem like a large number, but the First Grade and Second Grade soldiers among them did not meet Yang Rui's original intention of developing his army. With an abundance of Second Grade and Third Grade skill books, these soldiers did not have the value of using the rebel army camp. Otherwise, the mission points used to revive and 'cleanse' these soldiers would be a complete waste!
After a busy afternoon, Yang Rui finally had time to stop and rest. He also remembered to check the items dropped by Zhang Jiao. When Yang Rui picked up these items, he was too excited and did not have the time to examine them in detail. Now that he did, he was shocked!
