In the Xiacheng dungeon, the general Hua Xiong who was captured in Luoyang is about to be executed. The executioner is Fang Xuanling.

Hua Xiong was so frightened that his face turned pale.

He didn't expect that Chu Tian actually wanted to kill him.

He was one of Xiliang's fierce generals. Countless lords wanted to be loyal to him, but Chu Tian wanted to kill him mercilessly. Isn't Hua Xiong worth using?

"General Hua Xiong is loyal to Dong Zhuo, so I will fulfill General Hua Xiong's reputation for loyalty and let General Hua Xiong's reputation for loyalty be known forever."

Fang Xuanling came over with two axemen, sharpening their knives and facing Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong was even more frightened. He wanted to surrender, but he had persisted until now. If he surrendered like this... how would Prime Minister Langya and General Fubo view him in the future?

"Come here and send General Hua Xiong on his way!"

Fang Xuanling had a straight face and a serious tone, not like he was joking.

Two soldiers behind him had already restrained the bound Hua Xiong, and the axe-hand was making gestures on the back of Hua Xiong's neck. The cold ax blade made Hua Xiong tremble with fear.

It's over this time.

"Military advisor, what are you doing?"

Chu Tian took Hua Mulan and Li Guang in time to stop Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling said: "My lord, General Hua Xiong is unparalleled in his kindness and righteousness. My subordinates intend to help General Hua Xiong."

Chu Tian said righteously: "It's ridiculous. General Hua Xiong just didn't meet the wise master, so the treasure was dusted. General Hua Xiong's loyalty should be used in the right way. Good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters to work. I believe

General Hua Xiong will understand my good intentions one day. Quickly untie General Hua Xiong."

"General Fubo..."

Hua Xiong survived a desperate situation, and his favorability towards Chu Tian skyrocketed, almost bursting into tears.

"General Hua Xiong, please hurry up. If we can get General Hua Xiong's help and command the Xiliang cavalry, then there will be no need to worry about the big thing."

Chu Tian personally helped Hua Xiong up, while Hua Mulan and Li Guang were always on guard behind Chu Tian to prevent Hua Xiong from killing Chu Tian.

Hua Xiong was so frightened by Fang Xuanling that his legs went weak. It was very difficult for him to stand up: "Thank you, General Fubo. Hua Xiong is willing to serve the general and lead the Xiliang cavalry to defeat the powerful enemy for the general!"

"Ding! You have obtained the allegiance of the king-level general Hua Xiong."

【Name】: Hua Xiong

[Talent]: King-level general (riding type)

【Level】:90

[Identity]: General of Dong Zhuo, general of Liangzhou

【Loyalty】:70

[Commander]:72 [Force]:90 [Intelligence]:41 [Politics]:20 [Charm]:30

【Character】: Reckless

【Favorability】:65

[Feature 1]: Challenge the heroes (S-level exclusive feature, own attack power +12%, when killing enemy gold-level or above generals, the enemy's morale decline rate +6% (up to 18%))

[Feature 2]: Heavy cavalry assault (A-level feature, when commanding heavy cavalry, heavy cavalry charge speed +5%, impact +10%)

[Characteristic 3]: Reckless general (negative trait, when the troops are affected by negative effects such as ambush, confusion, suspicion, mind attack, fear, etc., the negative effects are strengthened)

[Special arms]: Xiliang cavalry can be recruited (seventh level heavy cavalry, upper limit of 1,000)

Hua Xiong happens to be a king-level general, which is pretty good. The most important thing is that Hua Xiong is a heavy cavalry general.

Using Fang Xuanling's strategy to conquer Hua Xiong, Chu Tian's conscience will not hurt at all. It's just that Hua Xiong's loyalty is a little low, and he needs to be given time to integrate into the small circle of Langya Kingdom.

Hua Xiong's negative characteristics are also fatal. He is basically mindless and unable to stand alone.

Fortunately, Hua Xiong's Xiliang cavalry only had to obey the commander's orders and attack the enemy's phalanx without any thought.

Hua Xiong cannot form an army alone; he must be commanded by a senior general.

Chu Tian wrote it down in his mind.

"There are still a group of Xiliang cavalry who have not surrendered. You go and persuade them to submit and make the first contribution."

Chutian quickly gave Hua Xiong his first task.

Hua Xiong said sternly: "I will promise to persuade our lord to surrender!"

It seems that Hua Xiong has already broken the pot. Since he has surrendered, there is no need to worry about face.

Because of Hua Xiong's intervention, a thousand Xiliang cavalry all surrendered and officially joined Xia Cheng's establishment.

The number of Huaxiong's special units is only one thousand, but they can already play a decisive role in small and medium-sized battles.

"Hua Xiong decided to surrender, so Xu Rong should also surrender soon."

"Please don't be anxious, my lord. As long as you are not stubborn, with Xu Rong's talent, he will definitely not be willing to spend his life in a dungeon."

Seeing that Fang Xuanling was determined, Chu Tian was not impatient.

If Xu Rong is unwilling to surrender, then we have to ask him to sit in the dungeon.

Langya country is full of talents, even the dungeons are full of famous generals, isn't it beautiful?

Hua Xiong was tall and could be regarded as a fierce general. He had just surrendered to Chu Tian. After recruiting all the Xiliang cavalry for Chu Tian, ​​Hua Xiong was eager to express his loyalty to Chu Tian: "My lord, if there is anything else to say, Hua Xiong is willing to go through fire and water.

Never give up until death and never betray!"

"..."

Chu Tian seemed to have heard Hua Xiong express his loyalty to Dong Zhuo not long ago.

After all, loyal generals like Zhao Yun are still rare, and most generals may betray after being captured for a period of time.

Therefore, the best way to prevent your subordinates from betraying is to prevent them from being captured.

"You train Xiliang cavalry and keep a low profile."

Chutian intended to use Hua Xiong as his trump card in the decisive battle in Xuzhou.

At present, the average level of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is 65. They are considered veterans among all the troops in Xia City. They are also armored cavalry. They are invincible wherever they go!

Hua Xiong regained command of the Xiliang cavalry and was stationed in Xiacheng. At the same time, Chutian temporarily ordered Li Guang to supervise Hua Xiong to prevent Hua Xiong from defecting with the Xiliang cavalry. If Hua Xiong defected, he would be killed.

Hua Xiong was still a great general in Dong Zhuo's power, but not so good in Xiacheng. Li Guang could warm wine and kill Hua Xiong.

Liangshan Town, as the stronghold of the Naval Battalion, requires a large population to support the Naval Battalion and provide supplies for the Naval Battalion. Because a large number of people are concentrated in Liangshan Town, Liangshan Town has been upgraded to a third-level town.

After returning to health, Xu Sheng returned to Liangshan Town and took charge of the expansion of the naval camp.

The number of naval battalions was temporarily expanded from 2,000 to 10,000, and there were 15 warships, 40 sailing ships, a small number of sentry ships, and a large number of grain transport ships.

The ship's cabin is covered with cowhide, which can prevent fire. There are three levels of cabins above the deck. Each level of the cabin has crossbow windows and spear holes on all sides, which can be used to attack enemies in all directions. It is powered by wood pulp.

The Yihe Naval Division was Chutian's attempt. In order to gain control of the Yihe River and transport grain when attacking Xiapi, he had to have a naval division.

After the area of ​​​​Yi River was expanded ten times, the river surface was still considerable, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of naval forces for joint battles.

"The fourth-level Soochow Navy has 1,000 archers, 3,000 low-level infantry archers, and 6,000 soldiers."

Xu Sheng recruited troops according to the establishment, but he still thought that the number of warships was too few, so he asked Chutian to increase the number of warships to thirty and the number of warships to sixty.

A large number of men were recruited to row oars and carry food. Each of them earned less than one tael per month, and together they were less than the military pay of 600 high-level soldiers.

"In order to attack Xiapi City, there will definitely be a water battle, and the proficiency of the navy soldiers must be improved."

Governor Xu Sheng trained 4,000 navy soldiers and 6,000 men, as well as training their physique. These trainings can all gain experience.

Tao Qian has sent scouts to sneak into Liangshan Town to observe the military strength of Liangshan Town.

Liangshan Town, which was originally unknown, became one of the key towns that Tao Qian paid attention to.

Both sides are sending out scouts and players to spy on each other's strength and details.

Chu Tian learned of Tao Qian's deployment, and Tao Qian naturally sent scouts to spy on Chu Tian's troops.

"There are about 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers and thousands of men in Liangshan Town. The governor must be on guard!"

"Didn't I say before that Liangshan Town only had soldiers and more than 2,000 men? Why is there nearly 10,000 people now?"

Tao Qian was shocked when he learned that Liangshan Town was aggressively expanding its navy.

Chutian's intention to expand his navy was clear. It was obviously to attack south along the Yi River and capture Tancheng and Xiapi, the two core cities of Tao Qian.

Chutian went upstream to attack the lower reaches and went down the river, so he had every advantage, while Tao Qian was located downstream and was at a disadvantage.

"I have 20,000 Yihe navy troops. I should have ordered Mi Fang to command them, but now I have no generals available."

Tao Qian encountered a problem that had always troubled him - he had no famous generals.

Xiang Yan, the commander of the infantry and archers, and Yang Wudi, the commander of the cavalry, were all generals borrowed from the foreign lord.

Originally, Mi Fang had certain bonuses for commanding the navy, but Mi Fang had a close relationship with Chu Tian and Tao Qian did not dare to use it.

Therefore, Tao Qian had no choice but to let Cao Bao be the naval general.

Tao Qian also recruited Wang Lang, a native of Tancheng, to serve as Cao Bao's military adviser.
