County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

The next three days,

Han Yilin didn't take any initiative to do anything; instead, he focused on stockpiling resources and preparing for battle.

Simultaneously,

Many affiliated player factions,

They also led their troops and rushed towards Zhatian County.

Because of the need to upgrade the county town, Han Yilin gave them an extra two days over the three-day period he had originally set aside.

These five days,

In order to prepare for the large-scale expansion of the army, Han Yilin has ordered all blacksmith shops under his jurisdiction to start work at full capacity and to complete the replacement of the army's equipment before the big battle.

Simultaneously,

They also didn't forget to find Zhuang Li.

Order a large quantity of equipment,

Including weapons, vests, armor, etc., the money was spent like water, and the whole process didn't hurt the slightest bit.

Money is a thing...

If it can't be converted into combat power, it will only benefit others in vain.

and,

Five days later,

What Han Yilin wanted was not how much silver was in the warehouse, but a large army that was truly armed to the teeth and ready to be deployed for battle at any time.

This also makes,

All the blacksmith shops under the jurisdiction of Zhatian County were operating at full capacity.

The furnaces smelted day and night.

The sound of a hammer striking,

They work almost non-stop from morning till night.

Large quantities of iron ore, timber, and various materials were continuously sent into it, and then returned to the armory in the form of weapons, armor, and arrows.

Han Yilin's preparations did not only involve weaponry.

After the decision to go to war was made

first timing,

They had already dispatched a large number of scouts and imperial guards, ordering them to investigate the Pingtian Army's intelligence, especially their grain transport routes.

Han Yilin's idea was very simple.

You're stealing my food, aren't you? Then don't blame me for stealing yours too.

Moreover,

The reserves of Zhatian County

In addition to the daily output from resource sites,

Even without the supply from the Zhen Clan Chamber of Commerce, there will be no shortage of food in the short term.

On the contrary, the Pingtian Army,

A million-strong army was arrayed outside Qing Shi Valley. With such a terrifying number, the amount of food consumed every day must have been astronomical.

At this scale,

If food is cut off for even a day

Morale will plummet.

By the time,

No matter how many troops you have, they are just a rabble.

to be honest,

Regarding food shortages,

The two sides' ability to withstand pressure is not even in the same league; Zhatian County is a typical example of someone who has nothing to lose and is not afraid of those who have nothing to lose.

The Pingtian Army dared to confiscate a batch of his grain.

He dared to target the enemy's supply lines.

We'll grab one while we can.

Burn them one batch at a time.

By the time,

If the Pingtian Army's supply lines are truly thrown into chaos, the Pingtian Army will definitely be the first to panic.

and,

In order to prepare for a possible attack by the Pingtian Army in a fit of rage.

at the same time,

Han Yilin is already on the southwest side of Qing Shi Valley.

Construction of defensive fortifications began.

Just the arrow tower,

They built fifty of them in one go, and also used a lot of siege weapons such as catapults and ballistae.

These instruments,

They may move slowly when attacking.

Especially in transportation, it requires a lot of manpower and resources, but if used for defense, it is an absolutely divine weapon.

By the time,

Combined with the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow,

Han Yilin was confident that even if the Pingtian Army came in large numbers, they could hold their ground.

Take steps back,

in the valley,

Ji Yun's army can also provide assistance.

just,

There was one thing that Han Yilin was unsure about.

That is, what if Ji Yun holds back her troops once I start a war with the Pingtian Army? After all, the two sides have not yet made any formal contact.

But this matter,

Han Yilin didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, the adventure mission was here, and sooner or later there would be a battle with the Pingtian Army. However, Han Yilin did not expect it to happen so soon.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

It wasn't just that Zhen Bailu's grain was stolen; for Han Yilin, that was merely a trigger.

After all,

Or does he want to continue expanding?

But in the southeastern part of Jing State,

Apart from the areas controlled by the Pingtian Army, the rest of the land had already been occupied by him.

If you want to expand further,

They could only face the Pingtian Army.

......

Day 46

The weather is sunny.

I did a daily task this morning, recruiting refugees, which increased the population of Zhatian County by 600.

Of the three guys I watched,

First,

It's still a TV series.

Following the previous GG, the timeline jumps to 14, and just as I remember, it is indeed a voice GG.

noon,

After training at the Cewu Training Institute, my martial arts skill increased by 1.

in the afternoon,

I enjoyed the massage again, and then soaked in the Huaqing Pool.

at night,

With nothing to do, I would listen to music in the brothel.

......

Day 47

Same as above.

Busy with government affairs in the morning, training at noon, massage and bath in the afternoon, and listening to music in brothels in the evening.

Life is fulfilling and enjoyable.

It was busy, but also very fulfilling and enjoyable.

He looks a bit haggard, and I suspect it's from being intoxicated by alcohol and sex. It seems I should quit drinking starting today.

......

Day 48

There is less than half a day left until the upgrade of the City Lord's Mansion is completed.

Today,

Many affiliated forces have arrived in Zhatian County one after another, and Han Yilin has settled all their troops outside the city.

As for the players,

They were settled in an inn within the city.

Simultaneously,

Han Yilin said that once everyone is present, they will hold a banquet, have a meal together, and drink some wine.

This was meant to boost morale before the battle.

As for Han Yilin himself, he was also making final preparations for the battle.
