White Bear Ridge, Zhuo County Military Camp.
In the drill ground, groups of soldiers dressed in armor stood neatly.
Counting carefully, there were exactly five hundred soldiers, which was exactly the number of soldiers under the command of a general.
Among these 500 people, 200 of them were the elite guards that Su Yan had borrowed from the Zou family.
After these people followed Su Yan, they were all convinced and were willing to stay behind to listen to his orders.
Su Yan also took the opportunity to ask the Zou family for them and then incorporated them into his personal guards.
The remaining people,
Some of them were strong men that Su Yan had picked out from the county prison.
These people were innocent people who had offended those corrupt officials and were framed and imprisoned.
Su Yan exonerated them from their crimes and released them, allowing them to join his army.
There were also some people who were picked out from the remaining 600 bandits.
Altogether, it was exactly five hundred.
Su Yan handed these people over to Dian Wei to lead and let him train them well.
After three months,
Under Dian Wei's harsh training, these people smoothly passed the grinding period and became a true elite troop.
Because most of them were either veterans who had been on the battlefield or had seen blood.
Therefore, without the timidity of the recruits at the beginning, as long as they went through training and had a tacit understanding, they could form a very strong combat strength.
Su Yan named them the Broken Military Camp!
The meaning behind it was obvious.
He hoped that they would be like a saber that would march forward courageously and cut down all enemies.
He was invincible!
Su Yan had high hopes for them.
At this moment, Su Yan stood on the high platform of the drill ground. Looking at the soldiers of the broken military camp below who were in high spirits, he felt happy in his heart.
This would be his trump card!
Of course, three months passed.
Su Yan did not just put his energy on the broken military camp.
Other than these 500 people, he also had Dian Wei recruit another 2,000 soldiers in the entire county.
This was because Du Ji had helped Su Yan handle government affairs during this period of time.
Very soon, he had a firm foothold in Zhuo County and was familiar with government affairs.
Moreover, with Du Ji's help in handling some matters, he could sometimes relax a lot.
Therefore, he could put more effort into building the army.
The wine-making recipe he gave Du Ji last time had also achieved results. He had successfully brewed a peerless wine that far exceeded this era.
Su Yan named it "Drunken Immortal Brew" and brought it to the Zou family's shop to buy.
According to the price of a jar of 100 gold coins, he quickly amassed a large sum of wealth.
He only kept a small portion of the money for daily expenses, and the rest was invested in the army.
The newly formed 2,000 people needed to purchase weapons, armor, and food.
Therefore, Su Yan's money just happened to solve these problems.
Once everything was ready, he and Dian Wei began to train these two thousand people.
Because he was a new recruit, he had to train for a longer period of time. Therefore, Su Yan had been living in the military camp for this period of time.
However, the more he invested, the faster the results would be.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Milord, news has come from the state capital that the Wuhuan people might launch a counterattack in the near future.”
"Oh?"
Su Yan received the letter from the soldier and took a look at it. He then said,"Go and invite the county magistrate and county lieutenant."
"Here!"
The soldier left.
Not long after, Du Ji and Dian Wei heard the news and rushed over.
"I just received news that the Wuhuan people might retaliate in the near future.”
Su Yan showed the letter to the two of them and said,"What are your thoughts?"
"My lord, what thoughts can you have? It's over if we fight!”Dian Wei said loudly.
Su Yan smiled and looked at Du Ji.
Du Ji thought for a moment and said," The letter said that the battle in the north is very tense. Gongsun Zan can't defeat the Wuhuan people in a short period of time, so they are likely to take advantage of the weakness to plunder the counties in the south to replenish their supplies.”
"I think we should take precautions. Once the Wuhuan invade, we can deal with them in time and give them a head-on attack.”
Su Yan nodded and said," You are right. Send out a notice later. Tell the villages around Zhuo County to be on guard. If any traces of the Wuhuan people are found, report it immediately and hide in the county."”
He looked at Dian Wei and said,"Also, send more troops to guard the farmlands outside the city. We can't let the Wuhuan people destroy them."”
"Here!"
Dian Wei replied seriously.
"Alright, go and prepare."
Su Yan waved his hand and the two of them immediately took their leave.
At the same time, not long after the two of them left,
Two choices suddenly appeared in front of Su Yan.
1. He chose to kill all the people who came to attack the Wuhuan. [Reward: 1,000 high-quality warhorses, 1,000 high-quality battle armors, 1,000 high-quality battle halberds. Horse beast: The Eternal Heavenly Dragon Stallion, the training method for Hu Knights, and the training method for elite warriors of the Qin Dynasty.
2. He chose to defeat the Wuhuan people and expel them from Zhuo County. [Reward: 1,000 high-quality warhorses, 1,000 high-quality battle armors, 1,000 high-quality battle halberds.]
3. He chose to ignore them and watch the Wuhuan people harm the people and threaten Zhuo County. [Reward: 10,000 taels of gold, 30,000 stones of grain.]
"Three choices?"
"System, isn't there always two choices?" Su Yan asked in surprise.”
"Ding! Yes, Master. Sometimes, when faced with complicated situations, there will be many different choices.”
the system replied.
"I see. It seems that the Wuhuan people will definitely come.”
Su Yan looked at the three choices and thought,"Since the system has already given us a choice, it means that the Wuhuan people will definitely appear. This can be considered a function to predict the future.”
"Ding! The system's choice was random and might not happen every time. Therefore, predicting the future could not happen every time.”
The system explained.
"I see. I thought we found another cheating device.”
Su Yan said with some disappointment.
