Chapter 190 Final preparations

Liu He spoke righteously and confidently to others, but he was actually very intimidated in his heart.

The reason why it takes half a month to organize the army is to make good use of the Meditation Tower during this time.

"System, system, are there any points I can collect? I'm extremely poor now and I desperately need points!"

"The system reminds you that the host needs to check the completion status of the current task on the task interface. The system will no longer remind you."

Liu He didn't have the time to argue with the system at this moment. To use the Jingsi Tower again, he would need a total of 300 points. He also wanted to exchange some things to prepare for the garrison in Yanmen, but the points were far from enough.

Liu He hurriedly opened the task interface in his mind.

"Mission completed: The registered population under the jurisdiction has reached 150. The host's current official position and actual control of Langdiao County and Yu County, the registered population under the jurisdiction has exceeded 1. Mission reward: points, point of political improvement can be allocated at will."

"Mission completed: The army under your command has reached 1 people. The host's current army exceeds people. Mission reward: a micro-metal mine, and any commander who can be assigned a -point upgrade."

"Mission completed: Achieve three military victories, get mission rewards: 150 points, host commander increased by 1 point. The host's current commander increased to 82."

"Mission completed: Build a set of divine armor: 1 points of reward."

"Mission completed: Breed a good horse, Guan Yu and Cheng Liang's mount. After the host's training, it was in a juvenile state and has officially grown up not long ago. Reward points: 1 points."

"Mission completed: The host has reclaimed 200 mu of wasteland. The host has currently reclaimed more than mu of wasteland. The host has received a bonus of points. Note: This task can be stacked infinitely. Please keep up the good work, host."

"System prompts that the host has received all the rewards for completed tasks, with a total of 800 points and a current score of 1157 points."

This gave Liu He a big surprise!

"Oh my god! I've been so busy lately, I've almost been on the verge of death, but I didn't expect to have accumulated so many tasks! It's awesome, so awesome! Now I'm rich!"

Without further ado, Liu He clicked on the "Item Exchange" interface and prepared to go on a shopping spree.

"I must get a copy of the Horse Selection Manual. Moda is still young, so I need to improve his horse selection and breeding skills. This will also make it easier for me to form a large-scale cavalry in the future."

Liu He felt deeply that one should start learning as early as possible, so the first thing he did was to spend 100 points to redeem this "Horse Judging Handbook".

"What is this 'Five Crossbow Manufacturing Atlas'? It's a crossbow, a weapon for defending a city. Let me see what it is."

This was one of the weapons exchange items that was only opened when the third-level system was launched. Liu He clicked on the item column with his consciousness, and a detailed explanation appeared inside.

"Five Bows and Crossbows Manufacturing Diagrams": Contains the manufacturing diagrams of five different types of bows or crossbows."

"Cloud Breaking Bow: A five-stone bow with a killing range of up to 2 steps. The instant the arrow is shot, the force is increased by an additional points. The arrows need to be specially made, and ordinary arrows cannot withstand such a strong force."

"God's Arm Bow: A three-stone strong bow that can be used with ordinary arrows. The killing range is 1 steps. The instant the arrow is shot, the force is increased by an additional point."

"Small fine gold bow: a small, delicate bow several inches in size, with a range of only sixty to seventy steps." "Heavy stone-breaking crossbow: a large crossbow, capable of firing four shots in a row, powerful enough to penetrate a thick wooden board two hundred steps away, can be equipped with rockets, huge and heavy, requiring two people to work together."

"Shocking God Crossbow: A very large heavy crossbow that can fire fifty rounds at a range of one hundred and fifty steps. It must be fixed before use and is not easy to disassemble."

"Good stuff! Really good stuff! Especially the Jingshen Crossbow. It can be equipped on the city walls and used to defend the city or deal with large-scale cavalry. It is simply a magical weapon! If it is slightly modified, it is entirely possible to become a small crossbow equipped with the army. Who knows, the Zhuge Crossbow may be released earlier!"

Liu He's hands were itching so much that he spent 80 points to exchange for the diagram of the "Jingshen Crossbow" without hesitation.

"With Xiangzi's current archery skills and strength, a five-stone bow is definitely not enough, but a three-stone bow should be barely usable. Let's make one first and let him get used to it slowly."

Another 80 points were exchanged for the "Divine Arm Bow" diagram.

"Hehe, this way, we will be more confident in guarding Yanmen. Okay, now it's time to select three people to enter the Jingsi Tower."

However, Liu He thought about it and realized that Guan Yu, Cheng Liang, Cui Jun and Ye Xiang had all led their troops out, and it seemed that there were not many candidates left. He had just gone into seclusion, and it would be useless to go in again now.

"Well... Fourth brother Mingwei has balanced attributes, with his command, force, and intelligence all above 80. After he goes into seclusion for a while, his force should at least be above 90. By then, he should be able to take charge of his own affairs."

"Fifth brother Dehui, your martial arts strength of 92 points is considered to be a bottleneck. He is strong enough and has strong endurance. If he can improve his skills a little more, he will be more perfect. He is also suitable for further study."

"As for the third candidate... it seems to be Wang Han, Wang Dameng. But I don't know if the Meditation Tower will be effective after he goes in... Well... let's choose him. This system product should not be stumped by such a small problem. This guy has always relied on brute force and physical instinct to fight. It is very rare for him to have such martial arts as he has now. If he can improve through the Meditation Tower, his future martial arts achievements will be limitless."

Liu He immediately handed the exchanged "Horse Judging Manual" to Moda, and handed the diagrams of the two bows and crossbows to the three blacksmiths, and then called Zhang Yong, Zhu Ye and Wang Han.

Needless to say, Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye had a chance. The last time Liu He and Guan Yu entered the tower, they came out and told them about what they had gained from their retreat. This had already made the two of them extremely greedy. Now that they heard that they also had a chance, they would certainly not let it go.

Originally Liu He thought that he would have to spend some time persuading Da Meng to go in, but he didn't expect that this guy agreed almost immediately after hearing what he said.

This guy is so adorable and simple. He has been enjoying the good food and drinks and being served by Liu He for a long time, so he has been obedient and submissive to me. He will never go west if I tell him to go east, which saves Liu He a lot of effort.

Ten days later, Cui Jun and Ye Xiang were the first to bring the news. After entering the city, they directly cleared out a group of people who were occupying positions and drawing salaries without doing any work in the county. They also arrested a group of bullies who were causing trouble in the village as examples. After parading them through the streets, they were beheaded, which caused the people to cheer.

Afterwards, five of the six powerful families in the city joined forces to rebel, but were suppressed by Cui Jun and Ye Xiang. The remaining family also offered money and food to express its submission.

Now, the two of them are using the land and wealth of the five major families to develop agriculture and sericulture in the county and are recruiting soldiers on a large scale. Some bandits in the surrounding area who were preparing to go out of the mountains to rob during this period of time taking advantage of the outbreak of the Yellow Turbans were also surrounded and wiped out by Ye Xiang and his troops in just three days.

The very next day, Cheng Liang received a reply from Lufei County.

He was much more brutal than Cui Jun and his men. As soon as this guy arrived in Luwei County, he led his troops to patrol the streets without saying a word, and set up the court on the street. Whenever he caught anyone oppressing the people, or if the people filed a complaint and verified the facts, or if he heard the news and verified the facts, he would beat the criminal to death on the spot.

The families behind these people came to Cheng Liang to denounce their crimes. After discussing with the county magistrate Zhao Jin, Cheng Liang arrested them directly, beat them up and put them in jail. He then sent people to verify the crimes committed by these families one by one. He then personally led his troops, broke into these people's homes with the evidence, and took away all the criminals.

In just seven or eight days, these families were either killed or disabled. The few remaining members who had not committed serious crimes quickly packed up their belongings and fled overnight.
