Since Yun Tian was asked to cut off his own flesh, Lü Tu had to repay the favor in some way. Therefore, he cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate obeys the order!"

Then Lü Tu summoned Tuoba Yue and others, and selected 500 strong soldiers from them to form his thousand-man force.

After Lü Tu received the token from the Commandant of the Right Banner, Yun Tian publicly assigned Tuoba Yue and others to Lü Tu, which finally allowed Lü Tu to enter the city with peace of mind.

After all, with these 500 soldiers and 1,000 military slaves, even if Yun Tian wanted to back out in Wuchuan, he would have to think twice.

After arriving at the Commandant's Office, Lü Tu received a reward of silver and grain, as well as a land deed for the land he was granted, before he went to fetch Xiang Ze and his son.

When Xiang Ze saw so many people, he was shocked: "Lord Lü, you have so many men?"

Lu Tu nodded and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"I'm much better now, thank you for your concern, sir."

"Enough with the nonsense, you and your son come back with me first."

The group marched towards Kuishan Village in a grand procession, and this time Lü Tu's harvest was even greater than all the previous ones combined.

After all, the military system implemented in Wuchuan allows for the initial screening of these soldiers, selecting the most elite individuals for training, while the rest are incorporated into the peasant households. The goal is simply to manage these 1,000-plus rebel slaves.

Only those who have led troops know that soldiers and civilians are different to manage. Once the number of troops increases, the troubles will increase exponentially. Therefore, only people like Han Xin in history would confidently believe that the more troops one has, the better.

As for other incompetent generals, let alone leading troops into battle, the sheer number of soldiers under their command would incite mutiny just by managing them. Lu Tu will have a lot of work to do next!
