Chapter Eighteen The Second Search Ends

  As the official's words sparked a lively discussion, the ministers in the grand hall fell into endless fantasy, with saliva flying everywhere, their faces flushed red, each one lost in the beautiful dream of being a great national minister!

  "Cough! Cough!"

  At this time, Wen Sihai cleared his throat and coughed a few times. Although the voice was not loud, it shocked all the ministers who had fallen into a daydream back to reality.

  The four seas came out in a row, first to pay respects to Ding Yuan, and then said: "Everyone's ideas are good, but now the Chehu State has just been defeated, it must be on high alert for our country's attack. Moreover, although our country won, countless soldiers were killed or injured, and the national strength is not as strong as that of the Chehu State. These soldiers will inevitably take time to replenish, and now discussing attacking the Chehu State is too early!"

  Wen Si Hai's words were like a basin of cold water poured over everyone's head, waking them all up.

  Yes, fighting a war is not like passing by a house, it can't be done just by dreaming about it. Although there are five-star generals like Lang, fighting still requires a large number of soldiers. Without soldiers, no matter how powerful the general is, he's just an empty shell, and how can he contend with countless troops?

  Ding Yuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Lord Wen is right, I was mistaken!"

  Upon hearing Ding Yuan's self-reproach, Wen Si Hai hastily said: "Your Majesty, you are the master of Zhongxing in our Che Long country, a wise and illustrious ruler for all eternity. Your Majesty has already done more than enough!"

  Many officials also hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, we are terrified, thanks to Your Majesty, the Chehuo country was unable to destroy our Che Longguo, please do not blame yourself!"

  Ding Yuan was puzzled in his heart, didn't I just show humility for a moment, how did it become self-blame?

  However, Ding Yuan still smiled and said: "Hmm, I understand, so what's a good solution now?"

  At this time, a military general stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, now we can quickly train our troops and accumulate strength. As long as the soldiers are trained, they will be under General Lang's command, and it will not be difficult to destroy Chehu at all!"

  This general is called Yu Guangda, who was the Minister of War and in charge of military training, so he was the first to be ordered to take the road.

  "Hmm, very well. However, my dragon has just gone through a disaster of blades, so the task of comforting and pacifying the people must be done properly by civil officials. Let's have Lord Wen take charge of this!"

  Wen Si Hai naturally agreed, and the next morning meeting was to discuss the follow-up work of recruiting soldiers. However, these were all old tricks for the civil and military ministers, and Ding Yuan only needed to make a decision, without having to think too much about it.

  The morning meeting ended and Lang was sent back to the Three Kingdoms game space first.

  He had been tired for several days, and Ding Yuan returned to his bedroom comfortably, took a comfortable hot bath, and then dismissed the people around him. With a thought in mind, he entered the Three Kingdoms game space.

  In the space of the Three Kingdoms, inside Xinye City, at this moment, the orders for internal affairs processing have already been executed, and the crowd of generals gathered in the governor's hall, waiting for Ding Yuan's command.

  First, Ding Yuan naturally took a look at the results of the internal development. Lang was indeed a great talent in internal affairs. With one internal development, he increased the population of Xin Ye town by more than 10,000 people and also increased the grain revenue by more than 100, which meant that they could recruit more than ten soldiers.

  In addition, the city's defenses are greatly strengthened. After the general returns to the city to rest and recover, his recovery speed will be much faster.

  For this internal development, Ding Yuan was still very satisfied and praised Xiang Lang.

  Next is Ding Yuan's most anticipated domestic search.

  The first internal search gave Ding Yuan a great surprise, with only two martial arts generals, they found one general and a precious horse, the sweat blood horse. Now that there are ten generals searching, what kind of surprise will there be? Ding Yuan was very much looking forward to it.

  In the past, Lü Bu should have been the first to jump out and report the results, but what made Ding Yuan strange was that he waited left and right, but still didn't see Lü Bu come out.

  Then Ding Yuan smiled and asked: "Fengxian, what did you gain from this search?"

  Lü Bu, who had always been proud of himself, now looked like a wronged young daughter-in-law. He twisted and turned for a while before walking out with a red face, kneeling on one knee, and clasping his fists: "Our family is extremely ashamed, having gained nothing at all!"

  Seeing the usually proud Lü Bu in such a posture, Ding Yuan laughed and said: "Fengxian doesn't have to belittle himself, this search is entirely related to luck, it has nothing to do with ability!"

  When Lv Bu heard Ding Yuan say this, his bright red face gradually improved, but he still looked embarrassed.

  Ding Yuan saw this and didn't ask any more questions, but instead said: "Please sit down, Feng Xian!"

  Lü Bu has been interrogated, and next is naturally Zhang Liao, the second-in-command under Ding Yuan.

  Zhang Liao stepped forward, kneeling on one knee and clasping his fists: "Although I have made some achievements, they are still insignificant. I only found a single Wu hook!"

  After finishing speaking, Zhang Liao handed over the Wu Hook Sword to Ding Yuan first.

  With the Wu Hook Sword in hand, Ding Yuan was also overjoyed. Although the Wu Hook was only an ordinary weapon, it was much better than his own Gentleman's Sword. With this, his strength would increase greatly. To know that although his martial arts had increased a bit, but not by much, the Wu Hook Sword had the effect of increasing two points of martial arts value. Exchanging it for the Gentleman's Sword would naturally add a bit more to his martial arts value!

  Since he knew that summoning in reality required at least a Martial General level, Ding Yuan naturally had to upgrade during battles later on. Otherwise, when all the Martial Generals were upgraded, wouldn't it be impossible for him to summon any more?

  So, as a result, Wu Gou, Ding Yuan happily said: "Wen Yuan is great, this Wu Gou knife came just in time!"

  Wu Hook Sword, first-class can be worn, just a first-class wearable weapon, non-exclusive and special weapons are the best among them, so Ding Yuan is so delighted.

  "Please have a seat!"

  Ding Yuan smiled and said afterwards.

  Next is the third general, Xiang Chong steps forward. Although Xiang Chong's martial arts value is lower than Cai Mao, his overall strength is not inferior to Cai Mao, and his loyalty to Ding Yuan is also higher, so now he is the third general under Ding Yuan's command.

  He walked up to Chong and presented him with a military token, which was the token of the Great Blade Troops.

  The halberdier is also a powerful soldier, close combat is only restrained by the hammer soldier, and it's a very good soldier. Ding Yuan immediately gave the military symbol to Lü Bu.

  Lü Bu was indeed arrogant, but it cannot be denied that his military achievements were outstanding. He rewarded those who had merit and punished those who had faults, and Ding Yuan did this fairly well.

  Then came Cai Mao, who also had a somewhat declining personality and, like Lü Bu, gained nothing.

  Next is Chen Ying, one of the earliest generals to surrender to Ding Yuan in the Three Kingdoms.

  Chen Ying, although relatively backward among these dragon generals, now has a loyalty degree that is not low, and can be summoned by Ding Yuan with peace of mind, so the ranking is actually more forward among the dragons.

  In reality, summoning Three Kingdoms generals is also taboo. For example, if the real world is not controlled by the Three Kingdoms game system, then it cannot be guaranteed that the summoned general will completely obey the monarch's orders, so loyalty is extremely important.

  And yet, Chen Ying, although trash, is also a three-star warrior in the real world, and has the strategist Zhuge Liang, and can bring soldiers with him, so his overall strength is not inferior to that of a four-star warrior in reality, and he is also an important existence for Ding Yuan now.

  Chen Ying walked out of her seat, knelt down on one knee and clasped her fists: "Reporting to the master, I obtained an Intelligence-Enhancing Pill during my search, and I present it to you!"

  "What?"

  Ding Yuan's face was slightly discomposed.

  Zeng Zhi Dan, although it is only the most basic of dan medicines, dan medicine is indeed one of the most important items in the Three Kingdoms game space.

  The probability of finding a Dan medicine has always been extremely low, and the early stage is even more ridiculously low. Now, being able to find an Intelligence-Enhancing Dan is just as valuable as finding a high-grade Dan medicine in the later stages.

  Ding Yuan hastily took out the Enhance Intelligence Pill and carefully examined it.

  Zeng Zhi Dan: A special pill item that can permanently increase any general's intelligence by one point!

  "Great stuff, really great stuff!"

  Ding Yuan couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.

  Chen Ying heard Ding Yuan's repeated praise and was also pleased in her heart, but she still said: "The general was able to find this elixir, thanks to the good fortune of our lord!"

  "Good, General Chen Ying has done a great job. General Chen Ying, please take a seat first. From now on, as long as there is merit, I will reward you heavily!"

  Ding Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "This elixir can increase one's intelligence value. General Wenyuan has made great contributions, so this elixir will be awarded to General Wenyuan!"

  Zhang Liao hastily stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency must not, now is the time when Your Excellency is injured, taking this medicine will be the best!"

  Ding Yuan shook his head repeatedly and said: "My mind is made up, Wen Yuan has made great contributions, and this elixir is most suitable for you to take!"

  Seeing his lord's firm tone, Zhang Liao had no choice but to kneel on one knee and perform a grand bow, saying: "In that case, I will reward you heavily, my lord!"

  As for Zhang Liao accepting this reward, no one complained, and even Lü Bu patted Zhang Liao and said: "Wenyuan, now your military strategist skills can be fully utilized!"

  Then, he went forward on one knee and said: "Xiang Da pays his respects to the master, this time I found a brown horse!"

  "Oh! Not bad, General, you've worked hard!"

  The sorrel horse can only be a little faster than the chestnut horse, although it's not bad, it's just ordinary goods, and the effect is not great. Ding Yuan was just going through the motions, praising it in a perfunctory manner.

  Then several dragon generals also didn't get anything good, only some formations and the like. Ding Yuan praised them one by one, and that was it!

  The interior search is over, and this time's luck is obviously not as good as last time. The treasure that can be considered a treasure is only the Enhance Intelligence Pill, and other things are just slightly able to increase some strength. The treasures Ding Yuan needs most, such as the precious horse, divine weapons, and sharp instruments, were not obtained.

  All the things found in the search were allocated one by one. Ding Yuan thought for a moment, and with a move of his mind, he returned to the real world. After all, there were still many things to attend to in the real world, and in the Three Kingdoms game space, after handling domestic affairs, the generals needed to rest for a while and didn't rush into the battle interface.
