Although Liu Chen was the King of Chang Shan, he could not appoint officials at will. After the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the power of the central government had been consolidated and strengthened.
This also resulted in those top strategists and capable officials not becoming the subjects of the princes, but instead finding ways to recommend filial piety and honesty through the court's appointment.
However, the Han Dynasty had no time to care about the Yellow Turban Rebellion this time. In the end, the military power was reduced and the provinces and counties were allowed to recruit their own troops.
Liu Yan had even proposed to abolish history and establish a shepherd, which led to the formation of warlords everywhere, who were no longer under the control of the imperial court.
This gave Liu Chen the opportunity to monopolize power. He recruited Zhao Yun and 100,000 soldiers without any scruples.
Now that he was upgrading the Internal Affairs Council, there would be no top strategists to help him.
Thinking of this, Liu Chen immediately leveled up. He spent 1,111,000 points to raise the Internal Affairs Department from Level 0 to Level 4.
[Internal Affairs Department: LV4]
[Effect: Increases the chances of recruiting talents such as strategists and ministers!]
[Level Up: 10,000,000 War Points]
……
"The effect of the military camp has increased the number of recruits by two to three times, and I have also obtained Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, the four valiant generals of Hebei Province!
"At that time, the military camp was only level 3. Now that the Internal Affairs Council is level 4, there should be many top strategists who will come to watch, right?”
Liu Chen thought of his magnificent feat of sending troops to attack the Black Mountain Army and the Yellow Turban Army. He believed that after the news spread throughout the country, there would be a counselor who knew the times to come and serve.
As long as one wasn't an idiot, knowing that Liu Chen had 100,000 soldiers under him, one would be able to see through his plans and thoughts.
Moreover, the chaotic world was about to begin. If he didn't even have this kind of insight, then he didn't need that kind of strategist.
"Now that the food problem has been solved, we just have to wait for the harvest after planting. It's only a matter of time before we find the iron ore and get the help of the strategists…"
Liu Chen felt much better. He continued to look through the system and saw the market and other buildings. However, he did not have much expectations for the current situation.
Only when the problem of food and clothing was solved would Liu Chen start trading.
After everything was settled, Liu Chen exchanged the blueprints for the saddle, stirrups, and horseshoes from the research institute.
Consumed 100,000 war points!

……
Three blueprints immediately appeared on the table.
After Liu Chen picked it up and looked at it, he found that the blueprint was indeed very detailed. The design, construction, and details were filled in very carefully.
If Liu Chen were to study it himself, he would naturally be able to do it. However, this required a lot of time and energy. The gains did not make up for the losses, so directly exchanging for it saved time and effort.
The stirruping had already appeared in the Han Dynasty, but only the single stirruping was used for the convenience of mounting horses. The double stirruping did not appear until the Western Jin Dynasty.
Horseshoes were only popularized in the Song Dynasty.
The appearance of these two items had almost changed the direction of the battlefield. It had greatly increased the overall strength of the cavalry and reduced the difficulty of the riders!
The stirrups could allow a knight to ride on a horse as if it was flat ground. Horseshoes were like shoes for horses, reducing the wear and tear of the horses 'hooves.
Back then, it was because of the loss of horses that the Han Dynasty lacked horses. They were not able to travel long distances to the frontier and pursue the Xiongnu. Otherwise, the Marquis Champion would have been able to exterminate the Xiongnu!
The saddle had already taken shape and had even been modified, but it was not as exquisite and perfect as the later generations.
With these three items, the strength of Liu Chen's Chang Shan Cavalry would increase by at least 30%.
There were even many recruits who could become cavalrymen on the battlefield with just a little training!
Spending 300,000 points was worth it!
"When the mine hunters find the iron ore and mine it, they can gradually start to forge these.”Liu Chen was suddenly filled with anticipation for the future.
In reality, these were all improvements that Liu Chen had made for the sake of his " military ". His goal was to increase the overall strength of his soldiers and reduce future casualties.
"However, these are still external objects. We still need to improve the physical fitness of the soldiers in order to increase their strength and survivability.”
Thinking of this, Liu Chen did not rest and continued to look at the ability bonus panel.
After such an increase, he still had 14,411,500 battle points left. He naturally would not keep it and crazily increased his strength.
Consumed 1,000,000 War Points!
Strength attribute level increased to LV4!

……
Strength, Defense, Stamina, and Speed were the four most important attributes. He had originally reached Level 3, but now that he had spent 4,000,000 to raise it to Level 4, it was worth it!
Now, with the addition of vitality and recovery, there were already six physical attributes that had reached Level 4 in the ability bonus panel!
The next level required 10,000,000 points, which seemed a little distant for the time being. Liu Chen could only look at the other attributes.
"Eh, attack speed! This is not bad!"
"If the attack speed is fast enough, the enemy can charge in front of us and the arrow rain can come in eight to ten rounds.”
"Even if the two armies were to engage in close combat, the other party had just swung his saber once, and I had already swung four or five times. This is simply invincible!”
"If we could have discovered this earlier, perhaps the casualties this time could have been reduced! Upgrade! This must be upgraded!"
Liu Chen was pleasantly surprised to find this option. He did not hesitate to spend 1,111,000 Points to level up from Level 0 to Level 4.
[Attack Speed: LV4]
[Effect: The attack speed of all the soldiers under the host will increase by 4 times. The attack speed of the host will increase by 40 times.]
[Upgrade: 10,000,000 war points]
