In addition, there are those powerful families who provide him with constant support and materials behind his back.

I'm afraid it will be very difficult just to build an elite army of about 5,000 people.

Even so.

Half a year has passed.

Sun Jian only has a group of soldiers whose strength is basically close to that of steel and iron, and most of them are still full of blood.

Looking at the soldiers in the military camp, Sun Jian couldn't help but sigh.

It is really difficult to improve the strength of these people.

It's really not that Sun Jian didn't want to.

But he doesn't have that many resources.

If a warrior wants to improve his health, he must rely on a huge amount of food and sufficient training.

If it were really that simple for warriors to increase their health.

It's not like the strength of everyone in the imperial court's standing army is only maintained at the level of full blood.

It should be noted that practicing martial arts is definitely like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Even if it has been promoted to the realm of steel and iron before.

If there is not enough food later to replenish the consumption of blood energy.

Its strength will also drop quickly.

It is too difficult to maintain such an army of five thousand people.

But this is also Sun Jian's bottom line.

If you don't even have a team of 5,000 people in your hands.

Then he would have no way to compete with Qin Yu who is now in Lingling County.

What made Sun Jian feel even more uncomfortable was.

The magistrate of Xiangxiang County who was closest to Changsha County that he targeted from the beginning turned out to be Huang Zhong, whom he had met once before.

And Huang Zhong didn’t know what he was thinking.

I heard that his appointment as county magistrate was not like that of other county magistrates in Lingling County.

Everything we do is related to people's livelihood.

It's like he took the wrong medicine.

Xiangxiang County was built like an iron barrel.

There is also a large-scale construction project near the county boundary adjacent to Changsha County.

Many camps were built.

There is a small team of troops stationed in each camp.

When encountering ordinary bandits, these elite sergeants can naturally easily deal with them.

If they encounter a large group of people, they will immediately pass on the information.

Previously, there were no bandits in Changsha County who wanted to go to Xiangxiang County to fight against the autumn wind.

They naturally ran into the guns of Huang Zhong's men.

Because of the existence of these camps, Xiangxiang County did not encounter any bandits.

More than a year of recuperation has brought great changes to Xiangxiang County, even if it does not focus on developing agriculture and people's livelihood.

It is because it is very close to Changsha.

It's only been a year.

Xiangxiang County attracted many people from Changsha County to settle there.

The most damning thing is.

Huang Zhong also aggressively recruited refugees from Changsha County and people who came for resettlement in Xiangxiang County.

If Sun Jian hadn't arrived in time,

I'm afraid it won't be long before even the people in Changsha City will be attracted by the generous rewards offered by Xiangxiang County.

Looking at Huang Zhong's layout of the border between Xiangxiang County and Changsha County.

This often made Sun Jian feel an indescribable subtle feeling.

This feeling is as if Huang Zhong has known that he will become the prefect of Changsha County from a long time ago.

And he also wanted to hit his Xiangxiang County directly from the direction of Changsha County.

But how is this possible?

Doesn't it mean that he, Huang Zhongzhen, has the ability to predict the unknown?

How could he know so far in advance that he would become the governor of Changsha?

If not.

Sun Jianshi really couldn't imagine what Huang Zhong meant by setting up Xiangxiang County.

The key is that he only focused on the area bordering Changsha County!

Huang Zhong didn't even look at the vast area bordering Guiyang County on the side.

Is it possible that there are no Shanyue bandits in Guiyang County?

How can it be!

There are only a lot more Shanyue bandits in Guiyang County than in Changsha County.

This kind of thing tortured Sun Jian for nearly half a year.

It's always been a pain in his throat.

There was an indescribable nausea in my heart.

Every time he thought about this kind of thing, Qin Yu's extremely hateful face would inevitably appear in his eyes.

Just like what I did when I was in Nanyang County.

I thought I had gained an absolute advantage through strategy.

Unexpectedly, before he entered the county boundary of Jiyang County, he was caught by Lu Bu who was guarding there.

If it weren't for that good luck.

I'm afraid that Sun Jian has nothing to do with him now.

"Father, this Xiangxiang County is really weird, but I have disguised myself and followed the caravan to see it before."

"What is grown in Xiangxiang County is also the golden wheat that was grown in Jiyang County before."

"And now there are large tracts of wheat that are about to mature in Xiangxiang County,"

"If we can take advantage of this moment to quietly pull out those camps, then as long as we move fast enough, we can grab the food before they can react."

"As long as we can capture this food, it will be much easier for us to train soldiers later."

"When the time comes, if we gather the strength of our entire county, no matter how brave Huang Zhong in Xiangxiang County is, he will definitely not be able to become our enemy."

Sun Ce, who was tired of his travels, came to Sun Ce with excitement on his face.

Tell him what he has thought about along the way.

In order to train these soldiers, Sun Ce also worked hard.

Ever since he learned about the golden wheat, there was not a day that went by that he wasn't greedy for it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s just that the defense in Xiangxiang County is too tight.

And even if they are disguised as a caravan, they want to find the people in Lingling County to buy grain at high prices.

In the end, only a very small part of it will be received in their hands.

The people of Lingling County simply would not sell the golden wheat they received in fixed quotas.

This thing also represents longer-term benefits for them.

Unless they are short of money to a certain extent, or the money given by outsiders is too much, they will not be able to help but take action.

But if this happens, the prices of golden wheat and golden corn will skyrocket.

It has reached a level that even Sun Jian cannot bear.

Even with the money from the aristocratic families behind him, and he still owns the tax revenue of the entire Changsha County.

I can't afford this kind of business.

This way.

Naturally, all Sun Ce could think of was one word - grab!
