When they returned to the city, more than 100 large trucks filled with money, grain and treasures were added, so Xiao Tianci and his men marched much slower. It was noon on the third day when they returned to the giant tree.

After waiting for two more days in Jumu City, Zhang Liao and the others also came back one after another. Looking at the trucks of trucks filled with money, grain and jewelry, Xiao Tianci's face was about to smile. After counting it, please beloved, there were really a lot of gains in these five cities. In addition, the empire gold coins were cleared out in Jumu City, and there were dozens of boxes of millions of gold coins in the kingdom, hundreds of boxes of gold coins in the kingdom, and countless other silver and copper coins. Moreover, since it was autumn, the grain had just been collected, the grain in the granaries of the six major cities was piled up like mountains, with a quantity of more than one million dan. In addition, there were many rare treasures and secret books of magic weapons, which were a great harvest.

In addition to Xiao Tianci, Dian Wei and Cao Chun killed the officials of the three major cities they attacked, Zhang Liao directly captured the lord of Changqing Mansion and other groups of people. Although these guys were a little greedy, they still had the ability. Especially the lord of the palace, Guo Chengru, was a famous scholar in the Tianfeng Kingdom. He was very famous in the gentry and was also very good at internal affairs. Over the years as the lord of Changqing Mansion, he directly doubled the economy of the entire palace. This made Xiao Tianci hesitate, kill it, right? It is not worth it, it is rare, and his subordinates are short of people, don’t kill them? Seeing these old guys looking brave enough to go to justice, it is difficult to regain them.

Perhaps seeing Xiao Tianci's troubles, Jia Xu touched the goatee and said with a smile. "Is the lord worried about these officials?"

"Yes, it's a pity that these people have killed, and it's a waste not to kill them. Wenhe has a way?" Xiao Tianci rubbed his forehead irritably and returned.

"Haha, lord, have you forgotten that I have another skill called contact?" Jia Xu laughed.

After hearing this, Xiao Tianci's eyes lit up and slapped his head and said loudly, "Yes, I almost forgot that Wen and your connection skills can greatly increase the chance of surrendering enemy generals, right? Can these civil servants also use it?"

"Of course, any enemy you capture can be used, but there is a certain probability problem." Jia Xu nodded and said proudly, "My lord can hand over these people to me, and I guarantee that I will return my loyal subordinates to you."

"Okay, let's hand these prisoners over to Wenhe you in the future. Your skill is really awesome." Xiao Tianci waved his hand and sighed,

"By the way, Wenhe, the Giant Wood City we occupy now should not need to be withdrawn, right?" Xiao Tianci continued to ask.

"Well, there is no need for Jumu City. After all, the biggest purpose of our attack on Changqingzhou is to seize the iron ore here. Moreover, Jumu City and our Xingye City are not far away. It is much easier for the two cities to defend together, and the troops will not be too dispersed." Jia Xu nodded and returned.

"Okay, let Wen Yuan personally station in this city. I believe that with Wen Yuan's ability, it should be no problem." Xiao Tianci thought for a while, "But Wen Yuan is a military general after all, and he has to train soldiers and arrange defense every day. The internal affairs of this Giant Wood City must be dealt with by someone else."

"Does your lord still remember that Xiao Changlong?" Jia Xu smiled and said.

"Of course, isn't he still locked up in the city lord's mansion? Why did Wenhe suddenly mention him?" Xiao Tianci said in confusion.

"The lord can send that person to the city lord of the Giant Wood City." Jia Xu explained, "This person has been successfully subdued by me, but it has never been useful, so he didn't mention it to the lord. Now the lord of the Giant Wood City can let him try it. After all, although this guy is greedy, he has been the city lord of Xingye City for ten years and has rich experience. Now that I am suppressing him, I am not afraid of him doing things randomly."

"Okay, let him come." Xiao Tianci nodded and settled the matter.

After a few days, the entire Tianqingzhou learned about the fall of Giant Wood City, especially the four cities including Jin Xing Tianheng, who were actually raided by Xiao Tianci and others, and all the officials were killed. Suddenly, all the prefectures in Tianqingzhou were in panic, worried that Xingye City would place the next target of attack on them, especially those of the prefectures and city lords, everyone was in danger and transferred all the garrisons back to the city to take strict precautions.

There are three legions in the western military region of the kingdom, of which the First Legion stationed in Tianqingzhou, with a total of 350,000 troops stationed in various cities of Changqing Prefecture alone. Now that Xiao Tianci and others have done this, the First Legion has directly lost more than 100,000. After the news was passed back to the Duke of the King of Duke of the Capital, it is said that the Duke of Xiao was directly angry. Of course, this is just said, and there is no evidence to consider.

However, the loss was so great that Xiao Shiyun was extremely furious. In order to deal with Xiao Tianci, the sting that was in his heart, he went directly to the national military office this time and asked Jin Zhe, the eldest disciple of the General Military Advisor of the Kingdom, to deal with Xiao Tianci.

In addition, Xiao Shiyun also entered the palace to meet the king Long Sheng and asked Long Sheng to send a great worship. Long Zheng, who had the top-level strength of the master, went with him to Tianqingzhou to deal with the generals and masters under Xiao Tianci.

Long Sheng, who had already received news of Xiao Shiyun's heavy losses, was of course very happy. He waved his hand and agreed to Xiao Shiyun's request. The more lively the family was, the happier he was. Now Xiao Shiyun is going to Tianqingzhou to start a full war in person, so he is of course happy to support him.

Xiao Tianci, who was about to face the war, was still looking at his reputation happily. Although he had only plundered five cities in a row and did not occupy them, he still received a reputation value reward of 10,000 yuan per city. In addition, he obtained a reputation value of 10,000 yuan obtained by winning the Giant Wood City. The reputation value of his summoning the next hero of the Three Kingdoms was completely enough, and he had an additional 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

After dealing with everything in Jumu City, Xiao Tianci kept Zhang Liao and threw more than 30,000 soldiers to him at the same time. In addition, nearly 100,000 prisoners were also left to him. After seeing Jia Xu's connection skills, Xiao Tianci also thought of Zhang Liao's skilled soldiers. This skill can improve the training of soldiers, so he left all these prisoners to Zhang Liao for training, so he tried to become an elite soldier as soon as possible.

Although the harvest season has just passed, large areas of yellow and orange rice ears can still be seen everywhere in Xingye City. This year the sky is beautiful, the weather is good, and the crops have achieved good harvests. In addition, Xiao Tianci's three-year plan has reduced farmers' taxes in agriculture. At the same time, in response to the upcoming war, Xiao Tianci also asked Zhang Jingting to vigorously purchase grain, and the price given is also reasonable, which has made these farmers who reclaim wasteland forests taste the sweetness. Under the publicity of those who are interested, in the second half of the year, poor tenants from other governments have brought their families to Xingye City. Even the next four prefectures have moved to Xingye City to reclaim wasteland and plant grain and other crops.

You should know that in addition to exempting agricultural taxes, the current Xingye City can also belong to their own forests and receive certain subsidies. This has caused all the tenants who have suffered from landlords in other places to migrate to Xingye City. As a result, in the second half of the year, the population of Xingye City suddenly increased by hundreds of thousands and became saturated, but there are still countless people who bring their families to the placement work. Zhang Jingting, who is in charge of resettlement work, complained. But now, after the Giant Wood City has been built, a large part of the population should be diverted.

After returning to Xingye City, Xiao Tianci sent Xiao Changlong and Tian Feng to Jumu City, among which Xiao Changlong was the city lord, and Tian Feng was the literary and historical and military advisor to assist Xiao Changlong and Zhang Liao.

All the policies implemented by Xingye City were copied. In addition, Xiao Tianci also integrated the military factories established in Xingye City and moved them to Jumu City. He planned to build this place into his military base. As for the development of Xingye City, he would prefer to become a commercial center in Tianqingzhou in the future.

With the influx of a large number of labor, Xiao Tianci also created more and more novel things in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, resulting in a large number of merchants entering and a continuous new workshop. The shops opened in Xingye City, and many handicraft workshops appeared in some large towns in the country. The entire Xingye City showed a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

In terms of the army, due to the plunder of money and food from the four major cities, Xiao Tianci, who returned to Xingye City, recruited some soldiers and filled the 100,000 soldiers. Cao Chun also used the remaining 600 tiger and leopard cavalry as seeds to expand a tiger and leopard cavalry of 10,000 people. Due to the trial of Xiao Tianci's militia reserve system for a period of time, all the recruited soldiers participated in military training in their spare time and had a certain foundation. During the fierce training, they gradually formed combat effectiveness.

Finally, in terms of intelligence, Xiao Tianci asked Jia Xu to strengthen the intelligence work of the Duke's Mansion, especially the movement of the troops and horses around the Starry Night City. As the empire chain gambling houses were spread throughout the Ming Empire and vassal states, Jia Xu's Shadow Guards also expanded greatly. It can be said that as long as there are gambling houses, there will be shadows. However, for some reasons, the gambling house soldiers did not expand into the other three empires outside the Ming Empire, so the Shadow Guards had fewer spies in other empires. Of course, this is not important. Xiao Tianci is now only developing in Tianfeng. As for other empires, it is not his turn to take care of them.

Time passed day by day as Xiao Tianci prepared. In the blink of an eye, it was late October. The weather began to get colder, and Jumu City was on the right track. As for Xiao Shiyun, there was no movement yet. However, the storm was about to come. As more and more information was summarized, more than 400,000 of his Zhenxi Army scattered around him had entered Tianqingzhou. The war was about to break out.
