Li Ce did not expect to receive a new mission!
Because the previous mission to increase the population had not been completed yet, in his impression, wasn't it that one could only receive the next mission after completing one?
Why was the next mission coming before the previous mission was completed?
Could it be that this was related to Meng Tian and the Golden Fire Cavalry?
Killing Jie Li Khan would give him three mines, what a tempting reward!
If he could obtain the mineral resources, Li Ce would be able to become a true overlord!
Furthermore, as a transmigrator with a 'system', Li Ce's use of mineral resources was in line with the thinking of the 21st century!
This was more than a thousand years ahead of the Tang Dynasty in the sixth century.
Even though he had yet to obtain the blueprints for planes, tanks, and aircraft carriers, Li Ce still knew how to build some cold weapons!
For example, the sword that had yet to appear but was named 'Tang Dao', and the creation of the' Eight-sided Han Sword 'that not many people knew at this time!
Or rather, he could even forge 10,000 of them!
One had to know that these cold weapons were extremely sharp and could cut through iron like mud!
However, the mission to kill Jie Li Khan was not as simple as he had imagined.
Although he had obtained the Golden Fire Cavalry and Meng Tian, it was still not enough to annihilate the Turks in one fell swoop!
This was because Li Ce currently had less than 20,000 soldiers under his command.
With Li Ce's bravery, Shan Jing, Xiahou Yuan, Meng Tian, the White Horse Righteous Followers, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry, and the Golden Fire Cavalry, it was not difficult for them to charge into Tanzhou City!
However, Jie Li Khan was not a good person. If Li Ce used all his troops to attack the city, Xian Prefecture would become an empty city.
If Jie Li Khan used the 'switching tactics' then Li Ce would suffer a greater loss!
After all, Xian Prefecture was not an empty city!
There were nearly 8,000 people living here!
And the number of civilians was still growing. Ever since Dou Chengde accepted Li Ce's mission, he had been searching for homeless civilians!
It was also because of his serious attitude that Li Ce felt gratified!
Although his martial strength, intelligence, and leadership were far from Li Ce's standards, in terms of politics, Dou Chengde was still a good talent!
At least for now, he was a talent. It was also because of his hard work that the number of people in Xian Prefecture was soaring!
Presumably, it would not be long before Dou Cheng De completed the mission of expanding the population of Xian Prefecture to 200,000!
Furthermore, Xian Prefecture was Li Ce's only base of operations, and there were still eight hundred thousand dan of rations in the city!
Because of this, this city could not fall into the hands of the Turks.
If Xian Province fell to the Turkic army while Li Ce was attacking Tanzhou, the Chinese people in the city would suffer the same fate as Youzhou, Tanzhou, and other cities!
The generals of Youzhou, Tanzhou, and the other cities were not Li Ce. Moreover, Li Ce had not mastered his current ability at that time!
But now, the ruler of Xian Prefecture was not the Great Tang or Li Shimin, but Li Ce!
The people of Xian Prefecture belonged to Li Ce!
Since they were his people, how could they die at the hands of Turkic dogs?
Thinking of this, Li Ce prepared to spend another 200,000 Reputation Points to draw an army to defend the city!
But at this moment, a guard outside the door shouted,"General, there are two people requesting an audience!”
"Who is it?"
"One of the old men said that he had an agreement with the general!”
Old man?
Li Ce's brows furrowed slightly. He recalled the fortuitous encounter outside Xian State City this morning, and a happy expression appeared on his face.
It seemed that Ling Jing had arrived!
"Invite the two of them to the study room.”
After saying that, Li Ce jumped up from the bed, tidied his clothes, and walked to the study!
When Li Ce arrived at the study, there was already an old man and a pedant waiting for him!
When the old man saw Li Ce walk in, he pulled the middle-aged man beside him to kneel and said,""General, I have brought my son!”
Li Ce strode forward and pulled the two of them up. At the same time, he glanced at the middle-aged man!
The middle-aged man also seemed to be sizing up Li Ce!
When he saw that Li Ce's face was still young, he immediately frowned.
Although he didn't say anything, he was still unwilling in his heart and wanted to leave as soon as possible!
"General! My name is Ling Jing, and I was once Dou Jiande's registrar. Now, I'm just a down-and-out teacher!”Ling Jing bowed deeply to Li Ce.
"Mr. Ling, are you here today to rely on me?”Li Ce went straight to the point and changed the topic!
Ling Jing was stunned for a moment before he smiled. I just want to spend the rest of my life in the countryside!”
"Good!" Li Ce laughed heartily and left without looking back!
The old man panicked when he saw Li Ce leave. He hit Ling Jing's calf with his walking stick and knelt down with him, begging,""General, please don't leave. My son is full of knowledge because he doesn't know people, but he ended up like this today!”
"Old man, please rise!" Li Ce stepped forward to help the old man up, but he ignored Ling Jing, who was also kneeling beside him!
"Old man, Mr. Ling's ambition is the mountains and rivers, and I don't want to make things difficult for him!”
"No, no, no!" The old man shook his head and waved his hand." My son just doesn't know how powerful you are! General, please give him a chance, and also give this commoner a chance!”
