With the iron ore provided by the Yuan family, Liu Xuan did not immediately build a smelting plant. Instead, he began to prepare for the extermination of the bandits.
Because he was going to build the steel smelter at the foot of the mountain range.
In this way.
After the iron ore in the mountains was mined in the future, it could be directly transported to the smelting plant at the foot of the mountain for smelting instead of being transported to other places for smelting. It could save a lot of manpower and material resources.
However…
Liu Xuan thought that the progress of the bandits would not be easy. After all, he had never experienced the combat strength of the blood soldiers. Moreover, the mountain was the nest of the bandits. They naturally had the geographical advantage.
However, what Liu Xuan did not expect was…
The extermination of the bandits went very smoothly, unusually smoothly, and extremely smoothly.
The reason why he said this was because Liu Xuan had killed the 3,000-strong bandit group without shedding a single drop of blood!
Things had to start from that day!
That day.
Liu Xuan led Guan Yu and Zhang Ren to lead six thousand soldiers to the mountain range. However, he did not attack immediately. Instead, he sent people to persuade them to surrender.
He said that as long as they were willing to surrender, they would let bygones be bygones. If they were willing to register in Dai County, they would be treated like the citizens of Dai County.
Liu Xuan's persuasion to surrender was really just symbolic.
He did not think that he could really persuade them to surrender.
The result was something he never expected.
That night.
The bandits in the mountains had an internal conflict.
Early the next morning, Liu Xuan was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by Guan Yu, who told him that the bandits had surrendered.
Hearing this news, Liu Xuan was dumbfounded!
After understanding the details, he could not help but smile.
So…
Most of these bandits were actually citizens of Dai County.
However, because of the natural disasters and military disasters, they had no choice but to become bandits.
A few months ago, when they heard that Liu Xuan had opened the granary, these bandits were already tempted.
The reason why they didn't take any action was because they were afraid that Liu Xuan would treat them differently because of their temporary status as bandits.
But yesterday.
Liu Xuan sent someone to pass on the message. The moment the words 'let bygones be bygones' came out, it immediately caused a huge uproar among the mountain bandits.
Then, an internal conflict broke out that night.
Then, he discovered what had happened during the day.
Liu Xuan remembered it very clearly.
When he arrived in front of the 3,000 bandits who had surrendered!
At that time, the bandits were still holding onto their weapons, cautiously confronting Liu Xuan's troops.
When the leader of the bandits asked Liu Xuan carefully if he would really let bygones be bygones and give them the same treatment as the citizens of Dai County, Liu Xuan gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
All the bandits started crying.
Without hesitation, they threw down their weapons and knelt down in Liu Xuan's direction, wailing loudly and happily.
At that time, Liu Xuan had once asked them why they believed his words so easily. Were they not afraid that he was deceiving them?
Their answers were the same.
Because they believed in Liu Xuan!
Liu Xuan understood that this was the effect of the fame he had been scheming to earn!
Immediately after.
Liu Xuan excitedly discovered.
These 3,000 bandits were all physically fit, and they had reached the standard of his recruitment.
Moreover…
Because they were mountain bandits, they were more skilled in archery.
That's why.
Liu Xuan immediately gained 3,000 archers.
On this trip, not only did Liu Xuan exterminate the bandits without shedding a single drop of blood, but he also successfully obtained the iron ore mine. He also gained 3,000 archers for nothing. It could be said that he had made a fortune.
However!
Liu Xuan only reacted when he returned to Dai County.
Something's not right!
The purpose of me going to suppress the bandits this time is to increase the actual combat experience of the soldiers, right?
Meow meow meow?
What was going on?
"Sigh, looks like I have to find another way to let them see blood!”
Liu Xuan sighed.
The bandits had been dealt with, and a batch of iron ore had been exchanged with the Yuan family. The construction of the steel smelter was imminent.
The smelting of steel was of utmost importance.
Its importance was no less than the planting of food.
Hence, he decided to do it.
Liu Xuan endured the pain and spent 20,000 reputation points to buy an advanced steel-making method suitable for the Three Kingdoms period from the system store.
A month later, at the foot of the mountain.
A steel smelter that occupied a vast area stood quietly.
This place was also designated as a military restricted zone by Liu Xuan.
A thousand soldiers were specially stationed here to prevent any accidents.
While building the steel smelter, Liu Xuan recruited a new batch of recruits.
On the surface, there were only 1,000 people, but in reality, there were 2,000.
Including the 3,000 bandits who had just joined him, there were a total of 5,000 new recruits who needed to be trained.
Same old rules!
After the 5,000 recruits were scattered, they were mixed with the 6,000 veterans. On average, each veteran led one recruit.
Under the guidance of the veterans, this group of recruits quickly adapted to life in the barracks and gradually got used to the daily training mode of the barracks.
Within a month, those 5,000 new recruits had already blended perfectly into the veterans.
…There were simply too few collections. It had been almost three days since he posted, and he had an average of 10,000 words a day. In the end, he looked at other people's collections. They had more collections than me in a day, and it wasn't just a little higher. It was almost twice as high. It was tiring. Ahhhh!!!!
