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

"really."

"I knew it, you never brought me out here for no good."

Upon hearing the request,

Chu Wanyan rolled her eyes, but still obediently began to think.

After a while,

She suddenly asked, "I do have a plan, but it depends on whether you're willing to give up this batch of supplies."

"Um?"

Han Yilin became interested: "Tell me about it."

Chu Wanyan smiled sweetly, leaned close to Han Yilin's ear and whispered, "First like this... then like this... then like this... and finally..."

He mumbled a whole bunch of things in his own language.

Han Yilin was starting to question his very existence after hearing this; "Are you even human?"

"snort!"

Chu Wanyan scoffed, "Just tell me if it's feasible or not!"

After thinking about it,

Han Yilin responded: "You know what, you're really saying this, it feels like I could really give it a try. Anyway, even if it doesn't work out, I won't lose anything."

......

Once the ambush location is determined,

Han Yilin didn't linger and returned directly to Zhatian County.

at this time,

It was nearing dusk.

at this time,

Outside the city, numerous camps had been erected in the fields, with banners waving and the sounds of men shouting and horses neighing.

obviously,

These are all troops brought by players from the subordinate counties.

As per Han Yilin's request

They all need to be housed outside the city, with only a small number of guards allowed to enter, to prevent any unrest.

Near the city gate,

Just inside,

Players who received the message immediately came forward to greet them.

First and foremost,

It was Huo Yan's thunderous voice: "Godfather—!!!"

The sound was particularly loud.

Han Yilin knew who it was without even looking.

He rolled his eyes.

then,

Han Yilin then saw a fat figure squeeze out from the crowd: "Godfather, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for ages."

"Moreover, I've been thinking hard for a long time before coming here, and I've finally chosen a gift. I'll present it to my godfather when there are fewer people around tonight, and I guarantee he'll like it."

This solicitous manner,

Not to mention Han Yilin, even the other players around him were starting to lose their composure.

Immediately,

Someone couldn't help but mutter under their breath, "Dude, is it really that serious...?"

Upon hearing this,

Huo Yan immediately became enraged: "What are you saying? What did I do? So what if I like calling him 'godfather'?!"

"With such a powerful figure right in front of you, you all still don't know how to seize the opportunity. You're all short-sighted. Don't underestimate this county town now. When my godfather is ennobled and appointed prime minister, and then granted land and made a king, won't I be able to rise to the top with my whole family?"

"I only regret that I met my godfather too late, which caused me to drift aimlessly for half my life and waste more than twenty years of my life..."

It looks like I'll be reading a short essay again.

Unable to hold back any longer, Han Yilin quickly called for a stop: "Alright, alright, you may be shameless, but I still have my pride. Stop standing there and let's go inside."

"The restaurant is booked; we're having the whole place booked tonight. I've already sent the address to the group chat."

finished,

Quickly kick Huo Yan away.

At this moment, the surrounding players also stepped forward to greet them.

"Brother Han."

"Boss!"

"Alliance Leader!"

"..."

The titles were all sorts of strange ones, some even calling him "Lord," which really made Han Yilin lose his composure.

these people,

Although in name,

They are all his subordinates now, but since they are all players after all, Han Yilin doesn't have many rules in the group chat.

Everyone can address each other as they normally would.

They wouldn't be required to be like servants, kneeling down and calling someone "Master" upon meeting them.

quickly,

Everyone greeted each other.

In the crowd,

Han Yilin saw a familiar figure.

Su Qingqian,

This woman clearly tidied herself up today.

Wearing a light-colored long dress and with her long, black hair tied back, she smiled as soon as she saw Han Yilin looking over.

She didn't seem to mind that there were other players around, and naturally leaned against Han Yilin, even linking her arm with his.

"How are you? Haven't seen me for a few days. Did you miss me?"

Han Yilin laughed: "How dare you ask me that right away? Don't you know that I just found a new love these past few days, and I'm having a great time every day?"

"you--!!!"

Open your mouth and say a word

Instantly, Su Qingqian's anger level was maxed out.

"Good, good, good. You can talk about having a new love so confidently. Han Yilin, you're something else."

"You can't say that," Han Yilin replied with a smile. "This isn't modern times, where having multiple wives and concubines is normal. Besides, how dare you, a mere maid, question me?"

"Alright, alright, you're a maid, aren't you? Don't even think about black stockings, white stockings, or flesh-colored stockings anymore!"

"Oh, wait a minute..."

quickly,

They chatted and laughed all the way.

Along the street,

The group headed towards the Bafang Restaurant.

Today's restaurant,

Han Yilin booked the entire place; there wasn't a single customer in sight. Tables were set up both upstairs and downstairs, and the kitchen had been preparing since noon.

Upon arriving at the door,

Han Yilin waved his hand: "You all go in first, make yourselves at home, and we'll start the meal after everyone has arrived."

"Tonight, let's drink until we drop!"

As soon as this word comes out,

This immediately drew cheers.

"What a generous boss!"

"I'm going to get my revenge tonight!"

As everyone entered the restaurant, Su Qingqian was also pulled in by several female players she knew.

Among these players,

Of course, there are also quite a few female players.

These female players have gotten to know each other quite well over this period of time.

Upon meeting,

They get together and talk non-stop.

the other side,

It wasn't mealtime yet.

Han Yilin still had some things to prepare, and at the same time, an inventory list was also delivered to him.

"grown ups."

"The troop count in each county has been basically completed."

A member of the Imperial Guard quickly approached and handed over a booklet with both hands.

Han Yilin took it.

He looked down and opened it.

[Shaxian County, 5800 troops]

[Yiling County, 4000 troops]

[Dawei Tianlong County, 3300 troops]

[Moyu County, 2900 troops]

[Heaven and Earth County, 2600 troops]

[Peach Blossom County, 2500 troops]

【...】

The contents,

The main force is the troops brought by the players on this expedition, including the counties they belong to.

can only say,

The name of the county town

Looking around, there are hardly any normal ones.

As for the types of troops, according to Han Yilin's requirements, the minimum requirement is level two troops.

in fact,

More than 90%,

They were all light infantry.

Their combat strength is only average.

As for troop strength, most of them have around two thousand men, while a small number can have more than three thousand.

In comparison,

Only Huo Yan's Sha County and Su Qingqian's Yiling County might have slightly better development.

Simultaneously,

The two of them,

They are also the only two factions among these players to bring light cavalry.

after all,

Light cavalry first need horses, and warhorses need to eat ten times more than humans.

The resources to maintain a light cavalryman

Enough to support a dozen or so infantrymen.

Such consumption,

Without a substantial financial foundation, it would be impossible to support them. In the early days of Zhatian County, the cavalry had caused them a great deal of trouble, and every day they had to worry about food as soon as they opened their eyes.

As for these two county towns,

They were able to field cavalry only because of Han Yilin's special treatment, but even so, their forces were not large.

Shaxian County had only 300 light cavalrymen, while Yiling County had only 200.

All the troops brought by these affiliated forces totaled 74,000.

This number,

Taking into account the military strength of Zhatian County itself,

total,

It has already exceeded 100,000.

This number represents a force that should not be underestimated at any point in history.
