Chapter 490 Level 2 County City

Facing the crisis, Ouyang Shuo divided the Shanhai City army into three major groups.

Sun Bin commanded the Lingnan theater and was on the eastern front; Bai Qi was in Mulan Fortress and commanded the battle in the north; Han Xin led the army and confronted Chi You's army.

After the arrangement is complete, the next step is to mobilize the army and carry out the final preparations before the war.

As for the deployment of combat materials, it had already started a month ago. After all, no matter whether it is against Chiyou City or [Lingnan City-State], Ouyang Shuo knows that there will be a battle sooner or later.

Therefore, the mobilization of materials has already begun to be arranged without waiting for them to dispatch.

After the discussion, all the generals took orders and left.

Sun Bin will lead his troops to station in Tianshuang City, while preparing to build the command headquarters of the Lingnan Theater, while arranging the eastern defense line. Regardless of Ruan Ping's shout of joy, Ouyang Shuo did not believe that [Lingnan city-state] dared to take the initiative to attack.

At most, they just want to take advantage of the battle between Shanhai City and Chi You City to fish in troubled waters.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Shuo would not give them a chance.

The Lingnan War Zone led by Sun Bin is not just a passive defense. When necessary, it is also possible to launch a tentative attack on Jiaozhou County.

Bai Qi led the personal guard battalion, teleported directly to Mulan City, and headed for Mulan Fortress. As for the three divisions of the Longxiang Army, they were transferred to Lianzhou County by water.

Ouyang Shuo was reluctant to spend a huge amount of money on the teleportation of the army.

The army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is also waiting for food. The real war has not started so soon.

Han Xin led his troops to the border of Zhaoqing County, preparing to set up a frontline headquarters on the border. According to Ouyang Shuo's meaning, try not to spread the flames of war to the territory of Zhaoqing County.

There are three generals commanding the armies from all walks of life, so Ouyang Shuo doesn't need to worry about it. Coupled with the cooperation of the Military Affairs Administration, everything seemed to be in order.

For the war, Shanhai City has long since ceased to panic.

***********

Taking advantage of this rare gap, Ouyang Shuo left Wulong City and teleported back to Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City to complete the territory promotion.

As early as October 1st, Shanhai City had already reached the population limit of 500,000. It's just that Ouyang Shuo was in Zhaoqing County, so it was delayed. Just take advantage of this opportunity to complete the promotion of the city.

Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City, chatted with Song Jia for a while without alarming others, and came to the main hall alone. Ouyang Shuo has already carried out the procedure of advancing a territory nine times, so he has long been familiar with it.

He silently recited "Territory Upgrade" in his heart, a flash of white light flashed, and in the middle of the main hall, a golden stele slowly rose from the ground again.

Ouyang Shuo pressed his right hand on the front of the stele, and a system notification sounded.

"System prompt: Detect the upgrade conditions of Shanhai County..."

"Condition 1: The population reaches the upper limit of 500,000 people, meeting the requirements!"

The population of 500,000 is far from the upper limit of Shanhai City. According to the plan, if the entire Shanhai City is fully developed, it can accommodate at least five million people.

In other words, the current population has only reached one-tenth of Shanhai City's population capacity.

The construction of Shanhai City is far from over.

"Condition 2: All basic buildings are completed and meet the requirements!"

The three buildings of the Wengcheng, the Painting Academy and the Distribution Center in the first-level county city have been built long ago. The Wengcheng was designed together with the city wall, and the Academy of Painting is located in the Southwest University Hall.

The last thing to be built is the distribution center, which is built in Midtown, which is the dock area.

"Condition 3: The lord's title is at least the second-class Marquis, which meets the requirements!"

In the whole of China, apart from Ouyang Shuo who is the first-class marquis, there are only two second-class marquises, Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang. Dichen and the others are still a bit short.

At this stage, no one can surpass Ouyang Shuo's title advantage.

But the duke is a big hurdle, a full 1 million merit points are required, five times that of the first-class marquis. In other words, at the level of the Duke, anyone can come from behind.

If nothing else happened, Ouyang Shuo couldn't complete the promotion for a long time.

"System prompt: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi, all the upgrade conditions of the established Shanhai City have met the requirements, do you want to upgrade?"

"upgrade!"

On the stele, golden light shot up into the sky, exploded in the sky, turned into a ball of golden halo, and spread towards the surroundings. The halo extended to the new edge of the territory and disappeared again.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi, who has upgraded his territory to a second-level county. The county-level lord's mansion is automatically upgraded, please check it yourself!"

Ouyang Shuo didn't pay much attention to the upgrade of the Lord's Mansion.

Because the current Southern Border Protectorate has already surpassed the scale of the system planning.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi, who has upgraded his territory to a second-level county. After the promotion, a territory teleportation array will be added, and the player is requested to specify the location of the teleportation array!"

Unexpectedly, there are such benefits to be promoted to the county seat.

In Ouyang Shuo's previous life, he didn't know much about the county town of the lord player, and he didn't know at all that there was such a setting.

For a huge city like Shanhai City, adding a teleportation array is of great significance.

The current teleportation array is located within the royal city.

Therefore, it is extremely inconvenient for the common people to use it, considering the safety factor. In the event of a major incident, when the royal city is blocked, the teleportation array will also be blocked and cannot be used.

However, Shanhai City's influence in China is increasing day by day. Whether it is a student, a businessman, or a skilled person, people come here every day.

The imperial guards guarding the royal city are miserable about this, and they are worried all day long.

Well now, adding a teleportation array, Ouyang Shuo can make a distinction. He will set the teleportation array in Wangcheng to only be used by the soldiers and officials in the territory, plus people specially invited by Ouyang Shuo.

The added teleportation array is limited to the common people.

In this way, there will be no more hidden dangers that will cause trouble to the Imperial Guard Division.

Ouyang Shuo thought for a while, and decided to place the second teleportation array in Beicheng District.

One is that Beicheng District is the gateway of Shanhai City, and it is also a residential area, so it is convenient to come and go. Second, it is very convenient to enter and exit other urban areas from the northern urban area to the central urban area.

Finally, there is another point. Both sides of the northern city are the residences of the city guards.

Therefore, if someone really wants to make a fuss through the teleportation array. The nearby City Guard Division can arrive immediately and seal off the entire Beicheng District.

Undoubtedly, after setting up the teleportation array.

Both the Black Snake Guard and the Shanhai Guard will be closely guarded near the teleportation array, monitoring all people coming and going.

After selecting the location, Ouyang Shuo heard a system notification sound again.

"System prompt: The location of the teleportation array is confirmed and has been automatically generated, please check it yourself."

...

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi, who has upgraded his territory to a second-level county. After the promotion, the lord can make a small adjustment to the topography of the territory. The adjustment range is determined by the system. Please specify the area to be adjusted. Terrain and landform. Friendly reminder: Terrain adjustment is only a change on the original basis, and the type of terrain cannot be changed. For example, rivers can be widened, mountains can be raised, etc. "

Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up, it really became more and more interesting.

Gaia's move is also a compensation for the lord. After all, the lord only focused on one or two factors when choosing the place to build the village. In terms of geographical location, it is inevitable that there will be regrets.

For example, Ouyang Shuo, the biggest regret, of course, is that there are too few passages to the outside of the Lianzhou Basin, and they are too narrow. There are only one south and one north, two canyon passages.

It used to be an advantage, but now it is slowly becoming a disadvantage.

For the canyon between Zhennan Pass and Mulan Fortress, Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to change it yet. Because once it changes, the Mulan Fortress will be abolished, and the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be able to drive straight in.

Ouyang Shuo would not set his own goal, so he directly chose to change the river channel in the southern canyon. Ouyang Shuo hoped that after the change, large ships could pass through the river and directly enter the dock of Shanhai City.

"Broaden the Friendship River, the Swimming River, and the canyon where the two rivers meet."

"System prompt: The terrain change application is confirmed, and the river widening is in the process of calculation."

...

"System prompt: The calculation is completed, and the terrain change is completed. The Friendship River and the Swimming River are all widened to 100 meters, and the channel of the canyon is widened to 200 meters. The channel depth of the two rivers has been expanded accordingly. For specific conditions, players are required to Check!"

...

In such an instant, the two big rivers more than doubled in width.

The people on both sides of the river bank had no sense at all. It seems that time just paused and the river widened. Seeing this scene, the people on both sides of the river slowly bowed and prayed to the river.

In their conception, it is natural that the river god showed his power.

So far, the Friendship River and the Swimming River also have river gods, who are worshiped by the people.

People spontaneously built river temples on both sides of the river bank and worshiped them from time to time.

After the river is widened, even large ships can enter and exit Shanhai City freely. In this way, large merchant ships no longer need to transfer goods to Beihai Port.

This alone has created a huge convenience for Shanhai City's sea trade.

Of course, correspondingly, the defense of Shanhai City will also bring new challenges. After all, a building ship can enter Shanhai City, and a pirate's pirate ship can naturally also enter Shanhai City.

The North Gulf Fleet is becoming more and more important.

Ouyang Shuo was willing to take this little risk. If Shanhai City wants to develop into an existence comparable to Wangcheng in China, it cannot rest on its laurels.

The capital city of the future must have the boldness of a capital city and not be too petty.

So far, the promotion of the territory has finally been completed.

A system announcement came from Ouyang Shuo's ear.

"System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi, who became the first lord in China to be upgraded to a second-level county town, and will be rewarded with 4400 points of merit!"

...

The promotion of Shanhai City did not cause any disturbances, because the entire China region was in the midst of war. All the lords' minds are on the battlefield, and they have no time to care about others.
