  Warlord Level: 2

  Troop Type: Archer Troops 0 (200)

  Note 1: (Values in parentheses are normal attributes.)

  Note 2: The martial general has been upgraded, and its attribute values have increased.

  Ding Yuan was overjoyed after seeing Lü Bu's attributes, and he felt like a spring breeze with swift horse hooves. Although he only had two cities now, his strength had indeed increased greatly. In the next battle, Ding Yuan was very confident that he could add another city, and this city would not be a small Guan City, but rather a main city like Xin Ye!

  A main castle with a population, capable of collecting taxes and recruiting soldiers!

  Thus, all the generals will return to the city. At this time, it is already November, and also in front of the invincible general who will come to attack the city. The generals can finally rest and wait for the end of the war, entering the domestic governance interface!

  As soon as he entered the internal affairs processing interface, a message came, which made Ding Yuan unbearable. It turned out that the first battle victory was completed, and Ding Yuan's attributes were restored to some extent. His martial arts value recovered from 10 points to 15 points, while his intelligence value also recovered from 16 points to 22 points. As for whether his life value and internal energy value were restored, Ding Yuan couldn't know for the time being since he was currently in the internal affairs processing interface!

  Leisurely waiting for the end of the expedition, Ding Yuan was excited not by looking at the generals he currently possessed.

  There are three countries with famous generals, Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, Xiang Lang, Xiang Xiong, Cai Mao, these five generals!

  The six unnamed generals of the Three Kingdoms are: Chen Ying, Xiang Da, Xiang Huo, Xiang Qu, Cai Sheng and Cai Xing. They can be considered to have a large number of troops and abundant talent, although they cannot compare with the two major forces of He Jin and Zhang Jue, but they are much stronger than some medium and small forces, such as Gong Jing and Qiao Miao.

  Before long, December is approaching, and soon the expedition will be over, entering domestic affairs management.

  There are now eleven generals, although most of them are dragon suit generals, but it does not hinder the search.

  The two most important directives for internal affairs processing are internal search and internal development.

  Neipolitics search, Ding Yuan has already touched Neipolitics development, and Ding Yuan hasn't had time to look yet.

  Domestic development mainly involves dispatching military generals to develop cities, which can increase the city's population, strengthen its defense, and increase tax revenue, bringing numerous benefits.

  However, if non-domestic officials are dispatched for this domestic affair, it will only waste the good opportunity to search, because the effect of these military generals going to develop is minimal and has little impact.

  Now Ding Yuan has a general, only Xiang Lang is a political talent, and it's best to send him first!

  Unfortunately, the remaining generals were only good at fighting, and although there were some political talents among the small dragon suits, their intelligence was too low, and the effect of internal development was not great. So, Ding Yuan sent them all out to carry out internal searches!

  The domestic affairs directive has been issued, and Ding Yuan also has nothing to do. After fighting in the Three Kingdoms game space for a year, although it doesn't affect the original time, Ding Yuan also misses Hong Er and Lü Er, the two little maids!

  Besides, Che Lung Go is now his place of safety and refuge, so he's also very concerned about the current situation!

  With a stir in his heart, Ding Yuan exited the Three Kingdoms game space. Handling domestic affairs took some time, and by now the sky was almost bright!

  At the time of conquest, he rested for two whole months, and Ding Yuan was not tired. At this moment, his spirit was very good, so he didn't sleep anymore, and got out of bed!

  At this time, in Ding Yuan's bedroom, two little palace maids who were on night duty saw that Ding Yuan was about to get out of bed and hurried over to help him change his clothes.

  Ding Yuan comfortably enjoyed the service of two little beauties, secretly pleased in his heart: "Alas! I've really degenerated, even getting dressed requires beautiful women to do it for me!"

  These two little beauties, who can enter the palace, are naturally not bad-looking either. In Ding Yuan's previous life, they were not otaku goddesses, but also popular beauties. Now, however, they can only serve Ding Yuan and help him dress!

  Then he washed and dressed, all without having to lift a finger himself, as the two little beauties naturally took care of everything for him.

  Ding Yuan felt a pang of regret in his heart, and he wasn't familiar with these two little beauties either, so he didn't dare to tease them.

  After everything was ready, Ding Yuan went out of the main hall and strolled around. Last time he rushed through the imperial palace during the court meeting, without a good look at the scenery. This time, Ding Yuan had a great visual feast.

  Behind him followed a group of young eunuchs and palace maids, occasionally catching sight of beautiful young women who would pass by, bow to him, and then carefully take their leave, making Ding Yuan, a former shut-in NEET, feel especially proud.

  Wandering around, at this time a small eunuch hurriedly came over, knelt down and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, General Jiuliao has...has something to report!"

  "Huh?"

  Ding Yuan saw the anxious look of the little eunuch and felt a sense of foreboding.

  Calmly, Ding Yuan said in a low voice: "Quiet!"

  The little eunuch knelt and took his leave, and before long, a powerful general rushed in hastily, kneeling on one knee and saying: "Your humble servant Jiuliao has an important matter to report to Your Majesty!"

  Ding Yuan is no longer the Ding Yuan of Wu Xia, after spending a whole year in the Three Kingdoms game space. Although he didn't personally go to battle, under the influence of top generals like Zhang Liao and Lü Bu, Ding Yuan's vision has become much higher. In the past, when he saw Ji Ling, he still felt very intimidated, even this body instinctively had a sense of fear, but now...

  Ding Yuan said faintly: "General Ju Liao, if you have something to say, just say it!"

  Jiuliao's face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, I'm afraid..."

  Ding Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted in a stern voice: "How dare you, Jū Liáo!"

  Feeling Ding Yuan's sudden burst of momentum, Ji Liao's face turned gloomy, but he forcibly endured it afterwards.

  "Your Majesty's pardon is indeed a matter of great importance, and I, your humble subject, cannot but be extremely cautious!"

  Jū Liáo said with an air of sincere trepidation.

  Ding Yuan heard this and didn't ask any more questions, waving his hand to dismiss those around him. "Speak now!" he said.

  "Your Majesty, an emergency has arisen. The western nation of Che Huo has suddenly attacked the western border town of Shui Long Town in our nation of Che Long. Their military strength is great and they have already broken through Shui Long Town, advancing towards Che Long City. To ensure Your Majesty's safety, I request that you immediately evacuate. I will lead the army to resist the enemy and once we have repelled the Che Huo army and the city is safe, Your Majesty can return."

  Ding Yuan sneered in his heart, and indeed, Ji Liao was not a good thing. He didn't expose him, but said: "General Ji Liao is really dedicated to the lord, but why does only the general know about this matter?"

  Jiuliao's face changed slightly, but he continued to say: "The Water Dragon Town Guardian was a general under my command in the past. He rushed back urgently and met with me, and that's how I found out!"

  Ding Yuan's heart became even more certain of his conjecture and said: "In that case, let us hold an imperial court assembly and discuss it with the ministers!"

  Ding Yuan finished speaking and turned to leave, changing into his court attire.

  His face turned iron-green, his complexion was extremely unpleasant, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and as soon as he saw Ding Yuan walking away, he got up and left!

  Ding Yuan returned to the palace and ordered a eunuch to summon an imperial court assembly. He changed into his formal attire with the assistance of palace maids.

  An emergency court meeting was held, and all the high-ranking officials stood in attendance.

  Ding Yuan spent a year fighting in the Three Kingdoms game space, and his aura changed greatly, becoming unfathomable.

  When the little eunuch announced that the court meeting had begun, Ju Liao stepped forward, knelt on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, the enemy's forces are strong now, please withdraw first for the sake of the 10 million people of Cheolong Country!"

  As soon as Juliao opened his mouth, several generals immediately stepped forward and knelt down in unison, saying: "Your Majesty's safety is related to the fate of our Che Long Kingdom. The city of Che Long is too dangerous at present, so please retreat for now!"

  The remaining ministers and generals began to whisper among themselves, apparently they also knew the news that Shuizhong Town had been breached. Some people agreed with Ding Yuan's withdrawal, while others argued that it was impossible to lower morale, besides, is there a safer place than Che Long City?

  Smiling as he looked down at the crowd arguing below, Ding Yuan was calm and composed. In these days, although he wasn't very familiar with this country of Che, Ding Yuan knew that all troop movements required his approval. Although perhaps many soldiers had been infiltrated, their numbers were definitely not large, so he didn't worry at all. Moreover, he still had a trump card in hand; even if all the troops defected, he wouldn't be afraid!

  Just as these courtiers were arguing, news arrived that a large army of Chehhu had reached the outskirts of the city!

  In an instant, everyone's face changed dramatically, and the debate stopped immediately. Now the most important thing is how to resist the great army of Chehuo State!

  You Wenchen stepped forward and said, "Ju Liao, why did you persuade His Majesty to dispatch a large number of Dou Shi troops a few days ago? Otherwise, how could we be afraid of the Che Huo State's army arriving at our city gates?"

  "That's right!"

  Some courtiers echoed in agreement.

  …………

  At this moment, Wen Sihai, who had not spoken until now, spoke up. He was also a Three-Star Warrior and one of the strongest in Cheolong Country. His voice was wrapped in aura and transmitted to everyone: "Let's not blame anyone for now, let's all go to the city head and fight against the army of Cheohwa Country!"

  The literary adults see Wen Wang as very high, and once he speaks, even those military generals who defend Ji You do not dare to say more!

  Che Lung's national civil and military ministers had more than forty people, all of whom were Dou Shi-level strongmen. After all, in this world, martial power was supreme, and even civil officials had to have real strength!

  At this time, Ding Yuan also stood up and said: "The country is in trouble, as the master of a country alone, it's natural to fight against the enemy together with everyone!"

  Seeing Ding Yuan's resolute and unyielding attitude, some officials wanted to persuade him, but the words could not be spoken.

  Thus, Cheolonggu's national master and a group of ministers all came to the west gate tower.

  Looking down, at the dense army below, Ding Yuan felt a surge of hot blood and asked: "How many troops do you have?"

  There was already a general guarding the city who came to follow, his name was Xiao Hongyuan, he stepped forward and clasped his fists: "I report to Your Majesty, my army has more than 5,000 people!"

  "Oh, General, why are you so certain?"

  Ding Yuan was also curious about how this world determined the number of troops.

  "Your Majesty, look at our zodiac mountain valley, the twelve countries have similar military systems. Five people form a squad, two squads form a platoon, five platoons form a company, and four companies form a battalion, totaling one thousand people. The Chehuo country has five battalions, plus three separate special forces teams, which should be the three platoons of their warrior battalion. Therefore, I am certain that the Chehuo country's army has more than 5,000 people!"

  "Oh!"

  Ding Yuan nodded and asked: "Then can our Che Long country defeat them?"

  Xiao Hongyuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although our army has 5,000 troops defending the city with roughly equal strength to theirs, what can we do when they have three small teams? Our army finds it difficult to contend with them!"

  Ding Yuan understood in his heart that this warrior was the strongest martial power in this world, and not an ordinary army could contend with him. His face also became slightly solemn!
