After exchanging greetings, Zhao Sihu came to report, "Marquis, all the bandits have been killed."
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said with a smile, "General Zhao, not bad. You've made a great contribution this time, leading your troops to successively break through two checkpoints and drawing more than half of the roving bandits out of the stronghold, laying the foundation for the victory of suppressing the bandits. You deserve to be rewarded!"
"This is my duty. I don't deserve the Marquis' praise!" Zhao Sihu was a little excited.
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and took out the Five Tiger Saber Scripture he had just obtained from his storage pouch. He gave it to Zhao Sihu and said, "This Marquis will bestow this Five Tiger Saber Scripture to you. I hope you will diligently practice it and become a fierce tiger in the army."
Zhao Sihu excitedly took the secret manual and knelt down on one knee. "Thank you, Marquis, for your reward!"
Ouyang Shuo then took out a chest of silver and said: "Distribute these silver coins to the soldiers to show their merits!"
"Here!"
After the rewards were given, the army officially set off.
On the afternoon of the 25th day of the ninth month of the first year of Gaia, Ouyang Shuo led his troops back to Shanhai County.
After returning, he handed over the captives and supplies to the Military Affairs Department and the Internal Affairs Department to handle.
The military office was responsible for selecting reserve members from the fighting mountain bandits. Other than that, the Combat Readiness Division of the Military Affairs Department was also responsible for registering all military supplies and storing them in the armory.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs was responsible for identifying war criminals, handing over the most vicious criminals to the Disciplinary Division for execution. The remaining bandits were temporarily placed outside the city by the Census Bureau. Ouyang Shuo had other plans for these bandits.
Back at the Marquis's Mansion, Ouyang Shuo handed the remaining two chests of silver and one chest of jewels to Zi Su. She was in charge of keeping the treasures in the Marquis's Mansion's inner treasury.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo did not forget to remind Zi Su to prepare a box of malt candy for Snow.
Ouyang Shuo temporarily kept the two chests of gold seized from the secret room. Adding the remaining funds from before and the funds seized from the stronghold, Ouyang Shuo had a total of 31000 gold coins in his storage pouch.
After dealing with the trivial matters, Ouyang Shuo took out the biggest reward from this bandit extermination, the king-level summoning talisman.
Ouyang Shuo tore open the summoning talisman, and with a flash of white light, a young general riding a white horse appeared.
"System notification: Congratulations to player Wuyi for successfully subduing the historical character Luo Shixin, King Luo Shixin,"
The young general immediately dismounted and knelt down on one knee. He cupped his fists and said solemnly: "Luo, Luo Shuo. King Luo Luo King!
Luo Shixin was originally a general under the command of Zhang Xutuo, the Commander of Qi County during the Sui Dynasty. He accompanied Zhang Xutuo in the punitive campaign against the peasant rebels. Later he surrendered to the Wagang army and was given the position of Zongguan.
Because he despised Wang Shichong, he led his troops to surrender to Great Tang and was made the Chief of the Shanzhou Army. He assassinated Wang Xuanying and took down Thousand Gold Castle. He followed Li Shimin to pacify Luoyang and was made the Chief of Jiangzhou and the Duke of Shan.
Compared to other historical figures, Luo Shixin's most distinctive characteristic was his youth. Luo Shixin joined the army at the age of fourteen. In the fifth year of Wude, he was captured during the Battle of Mingshui and killed by Liu Heita. He was only twenty-three.
Lued, and, if, he, he, or, one, Lu.,.., Lu,. and., or.
Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed. He stepped forward and helped Luo Shixin up. "General, please get up!"
After Luo Shixin got up, Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check his attributes.
[Name]: Luo Shixin (King-level)
[Dynasty]: Sui and Tang
[Identity]: Shanhai County General
[Occupation]: High-level General
[Loyalty]: 80
[Commander]: 70 [Force]: 85 [Intelligence]: 50 [Politics]: 35
[Skills]: Bravery: Increases attack power by 20; Rapid Attack: Increases marching speed by 20.
[Technique]: Overlord Spear Scripture
[Equipment]: Iron Overlord Spear
[Evaluation]: A soldier will be the vanguard, and if he gains something, he will take off his clothes and horse and give them to those who have done well. However, the law is strict, and the soldiers will not be complacent.
Luo Shixin's arrival was like a timely rain for Ouyang Shuo. He was worried about the lack of high-level generals, so he could not continue to expand his army. With Luo Shixin, the problem was mostly solved.
Because it was late, it was inconvenient to talk. Ouyang Shuo introduced Luo Shixin to Ge Hongliang, the head of the Military Affairs Office, and asked him to receive him. The specific arrangements would be discussed the next day.
During dinner, Ouyang Shuo asked Song Jia, "How is the construction of the Eastern Fence Sword Sect going?"
"It's almost finished. The opening ceremony will be held on October 1st." Song Jia looked a little excited.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said with a smile, "Well, I really have to call you Leader Song. On the day of the ceremony, I will give you a big gift. "
Song Jia's eyes lit up. With Ouyang Shuo's current status, the gift he mentioned must be very important. She asked curiously, "What gift?"
"You will know when the time comes." Ouyang Shuo kept her in suspense.
"Humph, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it!"
September 26th, 10 o 'clock in the morning.
While the generals of the First Brigade and the Third Brigade had not returned to their barracks, Ouyang Shuo hosted a military and political meeting in Shanhai County. This was the first military and political meeting held in Shanhai County since the establishment of the Military Affairs Office and the formal separation of the military and the government.
In the government system, all the officials above the director level were present. In the military system, as long as they could come in time, all the generals above the battalion commander level were present. In addition, Ouyang Shuo also invited experts to attend the meeting.
In September, Ouyang Shuo spent most of his time outside and couldn't take care of the territory's government affairs. Fortunately, there were several directors in charge of the government affairs, so there was no big mess, but there were also no outstanding achievements.
Ouyang Shuo spent the rest of his time in the military thinking about the territory's future development plan and the formulation of the territory's strategy, apart from dealing with the war situation.
With the rapid expansion of the territory and the introduction of a large number of player groups, Shanhai County seemed to be developing vigorously, but there were many hidden dangers inside. The most fundamental problem was the lack of direction and a clear strategic position.
Due to this, Ouyang Shuo wanted to hold a military and political meeting to form a consensus.
Ouyang Shuo sat on the seat of honor and said, "Minister Fan, please introduce the basic situation of the territory."
"Yes!" Fan Zhongyan got up and said, "At present, apart from the headquarter of Shanhai County, there are eight subsidiary territories, including four counties and four towns. The territory covers more than half of the Lianzhou Basin. In terms of population, the population of Shanhai County has just exceeded the 80,000 mark, and the territory's total population has exceeded 240,000. "
"In terms of finance, Beihai County, Pool District, and Youyi County have basically achieved self-sufficiency, and their income and expenditure are approaching a balance. The newly occupied Tianfeng County, Eternal Night Town, and the other three subsidiary territories will require financial subsidies. Especially Tianfeng County, which is responsible for half of the construction of the Tianhai Road, it will require a large amount of financial subsidies. "
After Fan Zhongyan left, Ge Hongliang, as the military representative, took the lead to speak, "Reporting to the Marquis, with Shanhai County as the center, it extends to Beihai County, Pool District, and Youyi County. The population of the central area is more than 200,000. However, the army in charge of defending the territory, including the North Sea Fleet and the City Defense Camp, plus the temporarily reorganized two sword and shield battalions and one archer battalion, has a total military strength of only 15000 people. Your humble servant suggests that we should expand the army again. "
As expected of Ouyang Shuo's confidant, Ge Hongliang's words were exactly what Ouyang Shuo wanted.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Minister Ge's suggestion is very good. It's time to expand the army. Zhao Sihu! "
"Here!" Zhao Sihu stepped forward.
"You will use the City Defense Camp, two sword and shield battalions, and one archer battalion as the foundation to form the City Guards Brigade. You will be appointed as the acting brigade commander. You will be appointed after you are officially promoted. "
"Thank you, Marquis, for your promotion!" Zhao Sihu was a little excited.
"With the continuous relocation of the East and West Barracks, the field army is no longer able to return to the headquarters in time. Therefore, compared to the time when the City Defense Camp was in power, the duties of the City Guards Brigade are more important. Other than guarding the city walls and the city gates, they will also be responsible for the defense of Shanhai County. The City Guards Brigade will include two sword and shield battalions, two archer battalions, and one cavalry battalion. The original City Defense Camp's crossbowmen will be removed from the City Guards Brigade and will be under the jurisdiction of the Divine Arms Battalion. " The change in the duties of the City Guards Brigade meant that it would be promoted from the second rank to the first rank.
"Yes!" Zhao Sihu suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.
"Zhang Daniu, Hu Yibiao!"
"Here!" Both of them stepped forward.
"Pool Water County's City Defense Camp and Friendship County's City Defense Camp will be promoted to City Guards Brigade as well. Both of you will be the acting brigade commanders." Ouyang Shuo expanded the City Guards Brigade in one go.
"Thank you, Marquis, for your promotion!"
After adjusting the City Guards Brigade, Ouyang Shuo continued, "Wang Feng!"
"Here!"
"The personal guard battalion will be promoted to the Imperial Guards Brigade. You will be the brigade commander. Remember, the establishment of the Imperial Guards Brigade cannot be rushed. Wait for the brigades to be established and have sufficient combat power before selecting them. " Wang Feng had been promoted to a mid-grade general after the battle at Evil Lion Ridge. Ouyang Shuo's worries were completely eliminated, and he began to expand the direct troops on a large scale.
"Yes!"
Shanhai County was protected by the City Guards Brigade and the Imperial Guards Brigade together. With the assistance of the Divine Arms Battalion, there was nothing to worry about.
Ouyang Shuo looked at Luo Shixin, who was kneeling beside Ge Hongliang, and said, "Luo Shixin!"
"Here!" Luo Shixin was already familiar with the structure of Shanhai County last night. He was very confident.
"General, you will be responsible for the establishment of the first division's Fourth Brigade. The Fourth Brigade will be a light cavalry brigade equipped with Green Beetle Horses and will be stationed at the West Barracks. You will be the West Barracks' Deputy General and Fourth Brigade Commander. "
"Thank you, Marquis, for your promotion!"
"Long Live Shi!"
"Yes!" Shi Wansui stepped forward.
"After the Fourth Brigade is established, the West Barracks should be activated. General, you will lead two field brigades and follow the planned area of Tianhai Road. Clear out the surrounding bandits. "
"Yes!" When Shi Wansui heard that there was going to be another operation, he was very excited.
Since Ouyang Shuo had decided to stop hiding and biding his time, he naturally had to take the initiative to attack.
According to his plan, the first step was to clear out the Lianzhou Basin and provide a safe and reliable environment for the next step of building his territory. (To be continued.)
