Entering the Western Han Dynasty, after resting and reorganizing in Muyuan City,
Lin Tian led the team and once again moved to a large nearby city, Xuzhou.
The purpose of coming here is to sell the more than twenty prisoners in the team.
Although, there are also slave traders stationed in the Kiyuan City market.
However, when he sold slaves before, he had some friendship with the slave merchants under Shi Xian, the great eunuch of the Western Han Dynasty. If Lin Tian sold the slaves in the Shijia slave market, the price would be higher.
Considering that selling slaves will be one of his main sources of income in the future, Lin Tian still plans to get in touch with the Shi family's slave market as soon as possible to maximize subsequent benefits.
Not like those small towns,
A big city like Xuzhou has a vast area, prosperity and a large population.
As soon as you enter the city, you can clearly feel that you have entered a metropolis.
Moreover, a large city like this has an extremely large number of troops, numbering as many as eight thousand.
Among them, there are also many powerful city guards and Western Han Dynasty cavalry.
As a big border city,
Xuzhou’s archer team is even more well-equipped and of extremely high level.
Stationed on the city wall at any time, watching the surroundings vigilantly.
Now, Lin Tian's team has more than fifty people.
Such a large number of armed teams are naturally not allowed to walk freely in the city.
Let a group of young people Lu Bu wait at the city walls, leaving only Tianyu, Wushuang, and Shadow Warrior to guard him. Lin Tian led a group of slaves into Xuzhou City and entered the slave market belonging to the Shi family.
After reporting your name to the doorman,
Soon, a fat man who looked like a market manager walked out with a smile and welcomed Lin Tian. He then began to introduce the slave market and asked Lin Tian about the goods for sale during his trip.
Lin Tian waved slightly, and Wushuang Lu Bu entered the courtyard with more than 20 slaves.
After a little observation, market managers were slightly disappointed.
What Lin Tian brought this time were just ordinary bandits, and the number was not large.
Maybe in those small towns,
Such quantity and quality of slaves can make slave merchants shine.
However, in Xuzhou City, in the most famous Shijia slave market in the Western Han Dynasty,
These goods are relatively common, and the benefits of acquisition are not that high.
However, the market manager did not make it too obvious. He called a subordinate and arranged the slaves to a mine in the Shi family. He handed Lin Tian a money bag with a smile: "Here are 2,000 gold coins. You take inventory."
Lin Tian took it and said with some surprise: "If I remember correctly, the average price of a slave of this quality should be around 50 gold coins. Even if the price is increased by 20% each time, it should not be sold for 2,000 gold coins. ?”
The market manager waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is your first time here. I'll give you a round number and consider it as a small gift. In the future, there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate!"
Lin Tian smiled when he heard this: "Yes, I can do business."
...
After leaving the Shijia slave market,
Lin Tian looked at the task panel.
[Serial side mission: Slave Trader]
[Current task ring number 1]
[Task content: Sell a total of 50 slaves (25 have been sold)]
[Mission Reward: Random Skill Book X1, Random Intermediate Soldier X1]
"Selling 25 more slaves will complete the first step of the mission."
Lin Tian is quite looking forward to the reward of this mission.
Skill books don't even matter;
The key is that a random mid-level soldier rewarded will be directly transformed into a new Lu Bu when Lin Tian gets it. He is quite curious about what different types of soldiers will look like after being transformed into Lu Bu.
Everything that could be sold for money was sold.
Now, Lin Tian's gold coin balance has reached more than 6,000.
It's time to further expand the army!
On that day,
Lin Tian began to recruit militiamen from the surrounding villages.
Compared with the Eastern Han Dynasty National Militia, there is not much difference between the Western Han National Militia and the Eastern Han National Militia. That is, the potential to become an archer is relatively high. The initial attribute intelligence value is higher than that of the Eastern Han National Militia, but the force value is also slightly lower.
Using the Western Han nationalist militia as a base, Lu Bu was transformed,
Although, he is also a young Lu Bu.
However, among the skills, the long-range attack ability will be slightly stronger.
It took three days to visit 22 villages.
On the road, I occasionally beat bandits and bandits to earn a little money to cover my expenses.
Lin Tian recruited a full 150 young Lu Bu, bringing the number of troops to 204!
This number is already very close to the limit of the number of troops he can command!
[Lord: Lin Tian]
[Identity: Declined noble of the Eastern Han Dynasty]
【Level: 13】
[Strength value: 20 (affects personal combat effectiveness and equipment use)]
[Intelligence value: 20 (affects the use of secret techniques and the learning of various skills)]
[Command value: 35+10 (affects the maximum number of troops and morale of the troops, the current maximum number of troops: 225)]
[Charm value: 20 (affects the results of communication with NPCs and transactions with merchants)]
[Equipment: Leader's Sword]
[Remaining free attribute points: 0]
[Gold Coins: 320]
[Troop: Young Lu Bu X200 (39 people can advance), Heavy Black Cavalry Lu Bu X1, Shadow Warrior Lu Bu
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
For Lin Tian, the Lu Bu people under his command are his weapons!
After the troops are replenished and the strength is accumulated,
Lin Tian immediately began to prepare for a big job.
At the official office of Xuzhou City,
He received a bounty worth ten thousand gold!
[You have received a new bounty mission: Destroy the Zang Ba Bandit Group]
[Mission content: Capture Hongyang Mountain, defeat Zang Ba’s troops, kill or capture the bandit leader Zang Ba]
[Task reward: 10,000 gold coins, random high-level props X1]
...
Lin Tian’s previous sin Zang Ba.
Even if he didn't have this mission, he would plan to eradicate the problem in the near future.
When I came to the Xuzhou City Government Office, I saw that there happened to be such a reward.
Lin Tian also accepted the bounty mission immediately.
Although Zang Ba was from the Eastern Han Dynasty,
However, his hometown, Hongyang Mountain, is located at the junction of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties.
Therefore, Zang Ba's bandits often plundered and destroyed Western Han villages and towns on the border, which seriously affected the tax revenue of the rulers of Xuzhou, the border capital.
The reward order for dealing with the Zang Ba Bandit Group has actually been posted for a long time.
However, Zang Ba has a large number of people, and the terrain of Hongyang Mountain is steep, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The surrounding warlords and lords with some strength are not willing to take this hard nut. After all, the reward of 10,000 gold coins is not worth it. Few, but not enough to sacrifice one's life for it.
The official dynasty army of the Western Han Dynasty was to resist the attacks of Qin and King Chu. In recent years, it has not been able to spare enough manpower. Therefore, the Zangba Bandit Group has been living smoothly on the border and its power is growing.
I saw someone tearing off the reward order and accepting the mission.
The official at the Yamen Gate looked happy and asked Lin Tiandao:
"May I ask this lord, how many soldiers and horses do you have under your command?"
Lin Tian replied: "More than two hundred people."
Hearing this, the officer's face suddenly darkened: "Do you know how many people Zang Ba has under his command?"
"More than two thousand people." Lin Tian replied. Before accepting the mission, he also briefly investigated the relevant information.
"How can you fight two thousand of them with two hundred people?"
The officer frowned and questioned.
Lin Tian glanced at the three Wushuang Tianyu Shadow Warriors behind him, and replied with a smile: "One can fight ten, isn't that enough?"
