Chapter 737 Recruiting Holy Heroes! (2 in 1)
"Ding! You have consumed a holy recruitment order (special talent)."
Chu Tian took the lead in expending the holy-level recruitment order for special talents. An old man in robes holding a long sword appeared in front of Chu Tian. Although his temples were gray, he was hale and hearty.
Chu Tian really didn't dare to underestimate this kind of old man. In the era of contending among a hundred schools of thought, these old men were all masters of a generation.
The old man stared at Chu Tian, looked him up and down, and finally said slowly: "I, Ou Yezi, have met King Xia."
"Ding! You have obtained the allegiance of the holy-level special talent, swordsmith Ou Yezi."
When Chu Tian heard about this old man's background, he was shocked!
Ou Yezi, a master swordsmith in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is also the most famous swordsmith in the civilized area of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Famous swords such as Zhanlu, Chunjun, Shengxie, Yuchang, and Juque are all made by Ou Yezi!
Moreover, the general is his son-in-law, and Mo Xie is his daughter. Both of them are famous swordsmiths, and they are both in Chutian's forces, making weapons for generals in Chutian.
Chu Tian suddenly remembered that Mo Xie's achievements could increase the probability of recruiting Ou Yezi, and this was fulfilled.
"Sir, you don't need to be too polite."
Chu Tian dealt with it verbally, but secretly he was already watching the panel of this special saint-level talent.
In "The Lord", heroes can roughly be divided into civil servants and generals and special talents. Special talents are generally not easy to become an official, or have special talents.
Of course, this boundary is not so clear. For example, Su Shi is a prefect, but it does not prevent him from being a poet.
【Name】: Ou Yezi
[Talent]: Swordsmith (holy special talent)
[Commander]: 37 [Force]: 85 [Intelligence]: 95 (non-strategy) [Politics]: 54 [Charm]: 95
[favorability]: 50
[phase]: calm
[Characteristic 1]: The originator of sword casting (SSS-level feature, under the premise of blueprints, materials and funds, can produce any weapon; without any blueprints, you can forge Zhanlu, Chunjun, Shengxie, Yuchang, Juque, etc. Famous Swords, unless players have already obtained these Famous Swords)
[Characteristic 2]: Weapon Transformation (SSS-level feature, technology is the primary productive force, and weapons are the way to victory. Weapons produced by blacksmiths or military smiths in the entire territory have +8% weapon attack power, +8% armor defense power, Production cost -8%, the quality of weapons and armor has a probability to increase, such as bronze-level weapons in the forging process, there is a probability of upgrading to silver-level quality)
[Characteristic 3]: Establishment of the mountain (SSS-level characteristic, recruited disciples, easy to comprehend the characteristics related to forging weapons, the fewer disciples recruited, the higher the quality of the characteristics comprehended by the disciples, that is, the fewer disciples, the higher the quality, and the appearance of sword casting Master's probability increase)
[Characteristic 4]: Jianjian Oujia (SSS-level characteristic, a family of swordsmiths, direct descendants of Ou Yezi, it is easier to comprehend high-quality swordsmithing characteristics, and it is easier to become a master of swordsmiths; descendants of the Oujia family, remain loyal to the king)
[Story]: Ou Yezi once forged weapons for King Goujian of Yue and King Zhao of Chu, and many famous swords came from him; the Ou clan behind him made great contributions to the casting of weapons for Yue and Chu.
[Special Equipment]: Longyuan Sword (Imperial Grade)
"As long as there are blueprints, any weapon can be produced, and a group of disciples and descendants can be trained to forge weapons. It is easy to create a master swordsmith, and the quality of weapons in the entire territory will be improved..."
Chu Tian saw Ou Yezi's astonishing ability, which was stronger than Gan and Mo Xie combined.
General Mo Xie only improved the weapon quality of a blacksmith shop or military shop, while Ou Yezi improved the output of all blacksmith shops or military shop!
Speaking of it, Ou Yezi, Mozi, Confucius and others are almost figures of the same era, but among all the schools of thought, this person seems to be missing.
Both Ou Yezi and Mozi are the ancestors of craftsman spirit, but there are some differences between them. Mozi advocates both love and non-attack, while Ou Yezi is from a family of swordsmiths.
Specially serving the royal family in the south, their family can be said to be an imperial sword-making family, so naturally they will not mention the love and non-attack.
Now that Chutian's family of swordsmiths has begun to take shape, with Ou Yezi and the general Mo Xie, as well as the disciples Ou Yezi will train in the future, Chutian estimates that there will be no shortage of craftsmen who make weapons in the future.
Therefore, among the four characteristics of Ou Yezi, the latter two characteristics seem to be more easily overlooked, but if we look at the long-term development of the Han Empire, the latter two characteristics of Ou Yezi will actually be more beneficial.
"Mr. please sit in the largest military craftsman factory in Xiacheng. You can recruit apprentices at will. As long as you think the qualifications are higher, you can accept them as apprentices."
Chutian directly asked Ou Yezi to settle in the ninth-level military craftsman factory in Xiacheng to forge swords and recruit disciples.
Asking Ou Yezi to forge weapons for soldiers is simply overkill. Therefore, like the treatment given to general Mo Xie, Ou Yezi only needs to forge famous swords. As for ordinary weapons, he can leave them to his disciples.
Ou Yezi can also recruit disciples at will to train blacksmiths who make weapons for the Chutian forces.
To conquer the Quartet, the weapons needed by the Chutian forces are calculated in millions.
An army of one million is not so easy to maintain.
According to the population of Chutian forces, recruiting one million soldiers is the easiest thing to do.
The problem is to provide supplies for an army of millions.
Every year, millions of soldiers and horses consume hundreds of millions of catties of food and grass, equip millions of short weapons such as swords, millions of bows and crossbows, hundreds of millions of crossbow arrows, millions of armors, millions of horses, and tens of millions of military pay...
For military craftsmen, there is never too much.
Even if the Mongols slaughtered the city, they would not kill the craftsmen.
The Ming Dynasty even incorporated craftsmen into household registration, and descendants were craftsmen for generations.
Chu Tian ordered the officials of the Ministry of Industry to arrange for Ou Yezi to take a second post in the Ministry of Industry, and the Ou family also became one of the sword-making families of the Ministry of Industry, enjoying the treatment of a civil servant.
"Ou Yezi..."
Chutian spent 800,000 points to exchange for the holy-level recruitment order (special talent), which is considered to be an excellent value for money.
The quality of forged weapons has been improved and the cost has been reduced, saving Chutian as many as several million taels of silver every year.
However, there is still a small problem. After recruiting Ou Yezi, the quality of the weapons produced has improved. Now that the weapons of various legions have been equipped, the quality has not changed.
There was only one holy-level recruitment order left on the table, but this holy-level recruitment order was not for recruiting special talents, but civil servants and generals.
"Ding! You have consumed a Holy Recruitment Token (national war reward)."
The holy recruitment order was filled with a faint golden light, and then disappeared, and a general appeared in front of Chu Tian out of thin air.
The general's armor seemed familiar.
When each general is recruited, he usually wears the armor of the era he belongs to. Therefore, Chu Tian can judge the era the general belongs to through the standard of the armor.
Chu Tian thought of Le Yi, that's right, the armor style of the general in front of him is almost the same as that of Le Yi in the Warring States Period.
So, in this way, the person in front of him is a famous general in the Warring States Period.
During the Warring States period, the heroes competed for hegemony, and the probability of a famous general being born was relatively high.
"Ding! Holy Commander, military strategist Wu Qi pledges allegiance to you."
When the system's notification sounded, Chu Tian was shocked.
Bingsheng Sun Wu, sub-sage Wu Qi, killing god Bai Qi, the three major military figures in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, what he got was Wu Qi among them!
Wu Qi is not only a military strategist, but Wu Qi was a Confucian disciple at the beginning, under the tutelage of Zeng Shen, the son of Zeng Shen, a disciple of Confucianism.
Later, Zeng Shen was expelled from the teacher's school because Wu Qi was unfilial. In the state of Wei, Wu Qi studied under Zixia, one of the ten philosophers of Confucianism. Wu Qi is an out-and-out Confucian disciple.
Wu Qi was also a legalist leader and one of the reformers in the Warring States Period. He implemented Wu Qi's reform in Chu State and helped Chu State improve its national power. It's a pity that the reform touched the interests of the nobles of Chu State. After the death of King Chu Mourning, Wu Qi was killed by the nobles of Chu State.
This is a military and political all-rounder who is proficient in Confucianism, law, and soldiers, and he is also one of the top military and political all-rounders.
When he was in the state of Lu, Wu Qi led the army of the state of Lu to defeat the mighty army of Qi; Chu State attacked Baiyue in the south and defeated Wei State in the north. The princes were all afraid of the strength of Chu State.
However, Wu Qi's own morality was not very good. Li Kui, a contemporary, believed that Wu Qi was greedy and lustful, but his military talent was higher than that of Sima Rangju.
What Chutian needed was a commander who used troops. As for Wu Qi's personal virtues, Chutian didn't care.
Every star has more or less its own flaws.
For example, Xu You is greedy, Cao Cao likes people... Chu Tian has appointed them.
"Minister Wu Qi, pay homage to the monarch (Kingdom of Xia)!"
Wu Qi had a symbolic saber hanging from his waist, and his voice was deep and powerful, beyond doubt.
Chu Tian was able to see Wu Qi's attribute panel.
【Name】: Wu Qi
【Level】: 30
[Talent]: Military Master Yasheng (Holy Commander, Infantry Department)
[Loyalty]: 80
[Commander]: 95 (100) [Force]: 67 (78) [Intelligence]: 90 (96) [Politics]: 90 (97) [Charm]: 30 (100 for Wei Wuzu)
[favorability]: 50
[Compatibility]: Unlucky/Calm
[Characteristic 1]: Bingjia Yasheng (SSS-level exclusive characteristic, the halo of the whole army, on the battlefield, the whole army's attributes +15%, formation maintenance +20%, morale decline rate -15% during battle; infantry characteristic, personally command Legion, all attributes +30%, formation maintenance +40%, when fighting, morale decline rate -30%)
[Characteristic 2]: Shi Wu Fan Bei (SSS-level legion characteristics, absolutely obey Wu Qi's orders, even in unfavorable situations such as lack of food, besieged, etc., will not defect, will not be confused, will not retreat without authorization, and will not be affected Affected by the fear effect, morale will not be lower than 50 under any circumstances)
[Characteristic 3]: Military pawn system (SSS-level infantry system characteristic, when commanding a Wei military pawn army, Wei military pawn attack power +30%, defense power +30%, formation maintenance +20%, fighting spirit +20%, Martial soldiers' impact power +20%, pain -20%; during military training, Wei military pawns gain experience +25%)
[Characteristic 4]: Wu Qi Reform (SSS-level internal affairs characteristic, when serving as a civil servant, law and order will increase, family influence will decrease, corruption will decrease, financial expenditure will decrease, each general will train soldiers and horses, each legion will gain +15% experience, negative effects: The family's dissatisfaction with Wu Qi increased)
[Story]: In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the military strategist Yasheng strengthened Wei and supported Chu, created the military pawn system, and seized the land of Hexi
[Exclusive arms]: Wei Wuzu (7th-tier heavy infantry, upper limit 50,000)
...
Chu Tian was shocked when he saw Wu Qi's ability.
This may be the strongest infantry commander he has ever seen so far. Two SSS-level infantry characteristics, plus 50,000 Wei soldiers as exclusive arms, can provide Wei soldiers with 60% attack power and 60% attack power. Defense, 60% formation maintenance (affecting the solidity of infantry phalanx), 20% impact power (affecting infantry's ability to break formation), can also maintain morale (morale is not less than 50), reduce infantry pain (combat is more fanatical).
In addition, Wu Qi also has the aura of the whole army, and the characteristic of "no soldiers against the north" allows Wei soldiers to fight until the last soldier left under any adverse circumstances!
All Wei soldiers will work hard for Wu Qi and fanatically support their chief general.
You know, Wei Wuzu is not an ordinary soldier, but a seventh-order heavy infantry!
A group of high-ranking legions willing to fight to the death for their generals can be imagined as terrifying.
It is precisely because of Wu Qi's terrifying charm to soldiers that the monarchs of Lu and Wei were afraid of Wu Qi and eventually drove Wu Qi away.
In addition, Wu Qi, as a civil servant, can improve the experience gained by each legion when training soldiers and horses.
As we all know, after recruiting soldiers, you need to train and increase the average level (experience) of the legion before you can go to the battlefield. The so-called raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. Veterans are stronger than recruits.
Wu Qi's "Wu Qi Reform" feature can improve the effect of military training and speed up the formation of elite troops.
Apart from the current low level and personal morality, Chu Tian couldn't find any faults.
The 50,000 Wei soldiers were all seventh-tier heavy infantry, which was enough to frighten the people of Qin.
Not only Wu Qi's Wu King Wei Wuzu, Chu Tian thought of his power but also two generals, Wei Wuji's 20,000 Wei Wuzu, Pang Juan's 10,000 Wei Wuzu, their Wei Wuzu, and Wu Qi's Wei Wuzu, Add up to 80,000 Wei soldiers!
Of course, Wu Qi's 50,000 Wei soldiers still need to be recruited and trained, and it will take about a year or two to form combat effectiveness...
But before that, Wu Qi can completely mobilize Wei Wuji and Pang Juan's Wei soldiers to gain experience and reach the peak state as soon as possible.
Except for Bai Qi, Han Xin, and Sun Wu who have not yet appeared, there should not be many people who can compete with Wu Qi in infantry.
Of course, Wu Qi's cavalry might not be able to compete with Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Li Mu, because they specialize in martial arts. In Wu Qi's era, cavalry was not the mainstream.
To block Wu Qi's army of Wei soldiers, it may take at least two or three generals of the level of Yue Fei and Xu Da to join forces.
"The general commands the infantry, and I command the cavalry, and the world can be settled."
Chu Tian valued Wu Qi very much.
And what Chu Tian said is not false, Chu Tian has a strong cavalry bonus, Wu Qi has a strong infantry bonus, the combination of the two is indeed unparalleled in the world, somewhat similar to the combination of Han Xin and Xiang Yu.
Chu Tian was also concerned about Wu Qi's loyalty.
He couldn't judge whether Wu Qi was a loyal minister. Wu Qi's loyalty was not so easy to decline, but he was definitely not as loyal as Yue Fei and Zhao Yun.
Except that the king of Chu treated Wu Qi very well, he was rejected by other monarchs, and he did not rebel, or had no chance to rebel, so it is difficult to say whether Wu Qi's ambition is high or low.
If Wu Qi rebelled, the 80,000-strong army of Wei soldiers would not be able to resist.
The Chutian forces can actually suppress Wu Qi. Yue Fei, Wei Qing, Cao Cao, Le Yi and others joined forces. They have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, so they can naturally suppress Wu Qi.
Before the unification of the world, there is not much need to worry about Wu Qi's rebellion.
There is no doubt about the employment.
"General, during this period of time, temporarily recruit Wei Wuzu for training, and then command the Wei Wuzu army to fight in all directions."
Chu Tian intentionally arranged for Wu Qi to replace Wei Wuji as the head of the military pawn army.
The change of power takes time, and Wu Qi cannot be directly replaced by Wei Wuji, otherwise Wei Wuji and Pang Juan will have some opinions. They have sacrificed their lives for King Xia and shed blood, and suddenly a boss is parachuted, which is unacceptable.
When Wu Qi trained Wei Wuzu, Wei Wuzu gained experience +25%, plus Wu Qi's training ability, a year later, even if there is no war, Wei Wuzu soldiers at level 10 may have level 50 to 60.
You know, ordinary generals train soldiers for a year, and they don't participate in the war. It's not bad to reach level 40.
Wu Qi's military training ability, coupled with the battle, has an elite army in one or two years, and in three or four years, the surviving Wei Wuzu is already a master of hundreds of battles at around level 80. In seven or eight years, maybe the surviving Wei Wuzu has reached the full level, that is, level 100.
Wu Qi said: "Wu Qi will definitely obey the king's orders. Within two or three years, Wu Qi is willing to lead the army of Wei to pacify the world for the king!"
"good."
Chu Tian found that Wu Qi was respectful.
In the final analysis, Wu Qi killed his wife to beg for generals, in order to climb up.
Many military generals are aggressive, but Wu Qi's aggressiveness is stronger than others. Although his background is from a rich family, but in ancient times, agriculture was emphasized and merchants were suppressed. The status of merchants was not high, and he lost his family and property, and he did not get any official position. Ridiculously ridiculed by the villagers, he was too eager to appear in the picture.
As long as Wu Qi's desire to become a general can be satisfied, and rewards can be given from time to time, then Wu Qi can still be within the control range.
The king of Chu gave Wu Qi the highest official position, but he never heard of Wu Qi's rebellion.
If Chutian recruited Han Xin, it would be difficult to deal with it.
"Ding! The SSS-level achievement task, 'Sun Wu of the Military' is opened, and the completion rate is 1/2. Recruit Sun Wu and Wu Qi, two holy-level commanders, to complete the achievement task and unlock the hidden characteristics of Sun Wu and Wu Qi."
"Ding! SS-level achievement mission, 'Reformers of the Warring States' completion rate 3/7. During the Warring States period, rituals collapsed and music broke down, a hundred schools of thought contended, and seven heroes contended for hegemony. To make the country rich and its soldiers strong, the talents of the seven countries strive to be strong. Gather Wei Guo Li Kui (already Recruitment), Wu Qi of Chu State (recruited), Shang Yang of Qin State, Shen Buhai of South Korea, Zou Ji of Qi State, King Wuling of Zhao State of Warring States, and Le Yi of Yan State (recruited) will receive special rewards."
The system prompt sounded again.
Chu Tian thought that Wu Qi could also obtain additional characteristics through the achievement system.
That is to say, although Wu Qi currently has four characteristics, in fact, as long as he completes the achievement task, Wu Qi can reach the upper limit of six characteristics, and his ability will be enhanced again.
In this way, Chu Tian was even more satisfied with Wu Qi.
Wu Qi, Ou Yezi, Xiangyang Pao, Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, Dawankou Gun, Dafu Ship, I am born to be useful...
It was not in vain that Chutian had worked so hard for two years.
In addition to systematic rewards, in fact, the complete pacification of the prairie and the recruitment of a group of Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolian generals are also gains in the past two years.
Chu Tian asked Wu Qi to go to the infantry camp and recruit 50,000 Wei soldiers.
Wei Wuzu's requirements for the source of soldiers are quite harsh, and civilians with strong physique are needed to become the source of Wei Wuzu's soldiers.
On the hero ranking list of the Han Empire, Wu Qi temporarily ranked first.
The leaderboard is ranked according to the upper limit of individual attributes. Wu Qi's upper limit for commanders is 100, so he is ranked first.
Chu Tian couldn't hide Wu Qi's existence.
Because of the entire Han Empire, he is currently the only one who has a holy commander.
"Wu Qi, it turned out to be Wu Qi, he is really a hopeless general..."
Lao Qin sits in Guanzhong, speaking, he is most afraid of Wu Qi, a general, because when Wu Qi was guarding Xihe, Qin soldiers did not dare to go east.
In front of Wu Qi, Wang Jian seemed to be inferior. Only Bai Qi, the God of Killing in Qin State, could compete with Wu Qi, the inferior sage.
Lao Qin took a look at the leaderboard. Compared with the emperor-level commander he obtained half a year ago and the holy-level commander Chutian obtained, it was also a little bit worse.
"I can only exchange this item to see if I can change my fate against the sky."
Although Lao Qin's points were not as many as Chutian's, he participated in the expedition to the Western Regions in the first year to suppress the Tangut and Qiang tribes of the Xixia Kingdom, and in the second year to suppress the Di tribes. The points are actually not too small.
He could only choose a soldier talisman and other props from the list of redeemable items with ingenuity.
"Wu Qi, the sub-sage of military strategist? He is mainly in command of the heavy infantry. I don't know if my cavalry can defeat him. But Chu Zimou's cavalry is also quite excessive..."
Ming Guan also knew the news that Chu Tian had recruited Wu Qi, the military master, and fell silent.
Wu Qi's Wei soldiers are heavy infantry, and they are no strangers to Mingguan and Lao Qin. Mingguan mainly consists of cavalry, and they are not very afraid of Wu Qi.
In Wu Qi's era, infantry phalanxes and chariots were the mainstream, and large-scale cavalry operations did not yet exist. Zhao Wuling Wang Hufu rode and shot, which was already a matter after Wu Qi's death.
Therefore, the Liaodong Army, which is dominated by cavalry, is less afraid of Wu Qi than Lao Qin.
However, Mingguan knew that Chutian's cavalry was not much worse than Wu Qi's infantry, and it would be very troublesome to cooperate with infantry and cavalry.
"Wu Qi should go to deal with Guanzhong."
Ming Guan simply speculated based on his own logic that Chu Tian would transfer Wu Qi to deal with Guan Zhong, so he didn't need to worry about Wu Qi.
The next thing to do is to see if Lao Qin can stop Wu Qi.
The emperor-level commander Xu Da obtained by Mingguan is still a little worse than Wu Qi.
"Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, I don't know if they can defeat Chu Zimou and Wei Qing..."
Mingguan looked in the direction of Youzhou.
As the lord of Liaodong, the first thing Mingguan considered was to enter the customs.
Entry, entry!
This is the voice of countless Liaodong regimes.
As a prince of the Central Plains, the first thing Chutian considered was not to pacify Liaodong, but to occupy Qinchuan.
Qinchuan is rich and a great threat to the Central Plains, far greater than Liaodong’s threat to the Central Plains, because the Guanzhong Army can go out of Tongguan and Wuguan to attack the Central Plains, while Liaodong wants to attack the Central Plains, first of all it has to pass Hebei.
As the prince of Guanzhong, Lao Qin could have annexed Yizhou, but the situation no longer allowed.
There are Zhang Dao, Liu An, Liu Yan, and Liu Bei in Yizhou. Once Lao Qin attacks Yizhou and falls into internal struggle with the local princes of Yizhou, the army deployed by Chutian in Yuzhou will be ready to move. So Lao Qin can only choose to attack Bingzhou or Yuzhou.
The strategies of the various princes are more or less forced.
The mountains and rivers of the Han Empire determined the direction of their attacks.
A civil war in the Han Empire is brewing.
The appearance of military master Wu Qi made all the princes more nervous.
Even the Wu King Tongque in Jiangdong was frightened and had to be more vigilant against Chutian.
Because if Lao Qin and Mingguan fail, he will be the next to suffer.
