Chapter 78 "Recruiting generals"

After coming out of the farm, it was still early, and Xiang Dongliu reckoned that he would have to go to the farm again at this time tomorrow to continue planting.There is no way, who made the population in his rule so small that he could only sow the worst seeds.

Xiang Dongliu repeated in his mind, "Sow seeds tomorrow, sow seeds tomorrow." He strengthened his memory to save himself from forgetting about other things tomorrow. "Hey, something doesn't seem right."

······
Then Xiang Dongliu shook off the useless thoughts and began to ponder again, thinking about what to do next.

First of all, the general direction cannot be changed.We must always firmly implement the nine-character policy: build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly! "Building a wall" requires resources, which have already begun to be "planted" on the farm. The grain will also be harvested tomorrow, so now... it's time to recruit troops.

However, in this trial that I am in, all operations have been simplified to fool-like operations, so apart from the barracks being born soldiers, the most important generals should go to the popular tavern to recruit a wave.

Some basic rules, strategy games will never escape.For example, the importance of generals, as the saying goes, a raging soldier, a raging general.This is especially true in strategy games, where generals are unique.

If you fail to recruit and train generals in the early stage, and spend a lot of effort to train them, then the upper limit will be determined. In the future, if you can't beat other cities in singles or group fights, then how much will you play.

So soldiers can do whatever they want, and they can bring as many as they can, unless one side has already reached the point where the soldiers have become a sea of ​​people and the tactics are forced to pile up.

But from Xiang Dongliu's current point of view, no matter how big the brains of other countries are, they will not come up with any weird "strange" arms.For example, the types of troops that appeared in this trial were nothing more than archers, infantry, cavalry, etc., but there would never be any swordsmen, tigers, leopards, and wolf cavalry.

To the east of the City Lord's Mansion, several people were eating and drinking quietly in an ordinary wooden shed.This is the "tavern" that Xiang Dongliu visited once yesterday.

Such a dilapidated shed cannot be called a "pavilion".However, Xiang Dongliu knew that with his extensive construction, the tavern would soon be decent. "There will be bread, and there will be milk."

"Alas! City Lord, you are here. You left before I could even say hello yesterday. No matter what, I have to offer you a bowl of wine today." The sharp-eyed tavern owner saw Xiang Dongliu just entering his tavern. He quickly poured out a bowl of weird-colored wine from the wine jar next to him. As he spoke, he rushed to Xiang Dongliu in three steps and two steps, holding the wine bowl high, with a look of anticipation on his face. , full of sincerity.

But...Xiang Dongliu looked at the wine in the bowl that looked like the color of apricot skin tea from his previous life, and his scalp felt numb.

"The color of this wine is too yellow. There is no need to say more about yellow. After all, I drank a lot of wine in my previous life. The beer is yellow, and the only place I go to is other than Internet cafes. I often go to the bar to get drunk. The color of foreign wine is mainly yellow-brown, such as whiskey and rum.

The problem is that I have never seen such a cloudy wine, and it also smells sour like plums, like the vomit that someone regurgitates after drinking.

"Ugh!" Xiang Dongliu retched, "Quick, take it away!" He showed his disgust without any falsehood.

The tavern keeper's look full of anticipation turned cold in an instant, and he thought to himself, "I don't understand why the city lord is so disliked by the city lord when there are so many people in the market on weekdays, and everyone praises the wine made by their ancestors. My lord, he..."

"My lord, you..." The shopkeeper of the tavern was still about to say something about Amway's own ancestral wine making to persuade him, but Xiang Dongliu didn't give him this chance, and sent him directly to "Okay, okay, shopkeeper, go and help yourself." Well, I may leave after staying here for a while, so I won’t bother you.”

Xiang Dongliu looked at the tavern owner in front of him with unkind eyes, and thought to himself, "What's wrong with such a disgusting person who insists on forcing people to drink water? It can't be a hidden mission deliberately designed by the academy... But it doesn't make sense. , this is not allowed in strategy games.”

Ignoring this "unpredictable" tavern manager, Xiang Dongliu began to look around the tavern, wanting to see which of these people could be recruited.What kind of recruitment method.

From the information previously obtained from all the natives, it is not difficult to deduce that this tavern is used to recruit generals, but as for how to recruit generals, it is really unclear.

"City Lord, City Lord." At this time, a soft greeting came from Xiang Dongliu's ear. Xiang Dongliu looked back, frowned and said, "Why is it you again? Didn't I tell you to stay cool and stay there again? If you dare to let me drink with you, be careful that I will ask someone to steal your shed!" At the end of the speech, Xiang Dongliu's tone was not very friendly, and he threatened viciously.

Nonsense, if someone treats you to rice with a smile, you have to find a "convenient" place and just put the person's head inside.

The owner of the tavern was not annoyed at all when he heard this. He still said in a flattering manner: "I don't dare. I don't dare. Since the city lord doesn't like my wine, he can't force it. So I think the city lord doesn't care about the wine and food when he comes to my tavern." Yes, City Lord, what you should need is this."

After that, the owner of the tavern handed over a thin booklet. The booklet was covered with kraft paper and bound with string. Judging from its thin appearance, there shouldn't be much content in it.

Xiang Dongliu glanced at the tavern manager suspiciously, why are you handing me such a pamphlet at this time? Is it a secret book of exercises?Or some kind of decisive battle book.And having said that, the tavern owner is quite intelligent. He is the only NPC who has a clear logic when talking to him...
Xiang Dongliu didn't think too much about it, because he knew that it was impossible for this type of trial to run into routines like hidden missions.Anyway, sooner or later, I will understand why the IQ, EQ and various "quotient" values ​​​​of the tavern owner are so high.

At the moment, Xiang Dongliu let down his leg that had been raised on the table at some point, and then spread the booklet on his lap to read it. "Eh?!" There was no words on the cover of the booklet, but after opening the first page, there was a paragraph that seemed to be a "preface".

The tavern often attracts some talented people, all kinds of people, each with their own strengths.The city lord can bring them under his command, use different personalities to lead generals of different arms to charge into battle, and create a hegemony together.

"...What the hell."
