"This is the first step of the plan."
"After completing the challenge and receiving the reward, the second step of the plan will begin."
"Step 2: You must use all the rewarded resources on resource buildings."
"But we must also pay attention to balanced development, especially the population size must be well controlled."
"Recruit as many people as needed for resource buildings. If there are not enough people, build residential buildings. Don't waste any resources."
"Building a territory is like managing a household. You have to be careful with every detail. Do you understand?"
"I understand, teacher. I've taken note of it all." Lu Ping nodded in response.
"Besides that, there are also side quests. Although the rewards for the side quests are not much, they still add up to a considerable amount."
"After completing the challenge mission, you must seize the time to do more bandit suppression missions, and do it as quickly as possible."
"Yes, teacher, I understand."
"Speaking of bandit suppression, how is the reconnaissance operation going? Have you found anything unusual?" Tang Qing asked again.
"Teacher, it's in progress. The investigation range has been expanded to a radius of forty miles, and no abnormalities have been found so far." Lu Ping replied.
"The scope of reconnaissance needs to be expanded. Once it reaches fifty miles, I think you will find something."
"Teacher, why do you say that?" Lu Ping asked curiously.
"Generally speaking, the system defaults to a novice territory range of fifty miles."
"Uh...so that's how it is..."
After listening to Tang Qing's explanation, Lu Ping suddenly understood.
"Okay, that's all I need to tell you. I'll send you the resources right away. You can get started right away. Remember to notify me if there's anything else going on." Tang Qing instructed.
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
After hanging up the video, Lu Ping took a deep breath and secretly felt relieved.
Fortunately, Tang Qing helped me this time, otherwise I would not be able to recover in the short term.
In addition, this incident also served as a reminder to Lu Ping.
Let Lu Ping understand that compared with veteran lords like Tang Qing, he is still too young.
How can you be a qualified lord if you can't even do a good job with construction planning?
Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Ping opened the email and received the resources sent by Tang Qing.
After obtaining the resources, Lu Ping built a quarry, fifty acres of farmland, an iron mine and five houses according to the plan given by Tang Qing.
After the construction was completed, Lu Ping recruited all the remaining archers and sword and shield soldiers.
After everything was done, Lu Ping's resources were only in the three digits.
In this regard, Lu Ping had to admire Tang Qing's calculation ability, which was almost catching up with an actuary.
Next up is the challenge mission.
But before that, Lu Ping still had one thing to do, which was to recruit military generals.
After level three, Lu Ping can also recruit a general.
"System, recruit military commanders."
Ding~ Recruiting.
Ding~ Congratulations on successfully summoning General Yang Fan.
Before the system finished speaking, a young general walked out of the beam of light.
Yang Fan: (a low-ranking military commander)
Level: Level 1 (1/10)
Physical strength: 60 (+60)
Spirit: 50 (+50)
Intelligence: 65 (+65)
Politics: 33 (+33)
Charisma: 42 (+42)
Force: 58 (+58)
Professional expertise: Sword and Shield, Defense Specialization (Level 2).
Talent: None.
Special attribute: Command 3+3
Talent skills: None.
Description: Obscure.
After reading Yang Fan's attributes, Lu Ping frowned slightly.
This guy's attributes are terrible, and he doesn't even have any natural skills.
But no matter what, since we have arrived in Luping, we can only make do with it.
"I, General Yang Fan, pay my respects to the lord." Yang Fan knelt on one knee and said.
"No need for formalities, General Yang, please stand up." Lu Ping said politely.
"Thank you, my lord." Yang Fan bowed in thanks.
"General Yang, let me introduce you. This is General Yue Fei, and this is General Huang Zhong..."
Then, Lu Ping introduced Yue Fei and others to Yang Fan.
"Yang Fan greets the generals."
Yang Fan saluted Yue Fei and others with his fists clasped.
"We have met General Yang."
Yue Fei and others returned the greetings.
After some introductions, everyone quickly became familiar with each other.
"Okay, no more idle chatter. The challenge mission is about to begin, so get ready for the battle." Lu Ping said seriously.
"Please give your orders, lord. We will go through fire and water without hesitation." Yue Fei and other generals clasped their fists and said.
"System, start the challenge mission."
Seeing that everything was ready, Lu Ping started the challenge mission.
Ding Dong, the challenge mission is started.
Challenge Mission: An Lushan Rebellion
Mission content: Defend the city from being occupied by the rebels and kill all the rebels.
Mission rewards: Reputation 0-, Resource Pack 0-100, Experience 0-, Various Resources 0-.
Failure penalty: None.
Special note: The rebels were led by the famous general Shi Siming.
"Shi Siming? It seems this time is going to be quite difficult."
After listening to the system introduction, Lu Ping muttered to himself.
Shi Siming is also a famous figure in history. He was the governor of Hebei Province in the Tang Dynasty and one of the main culprits of the Anshi Rebellion.
But no matter how famous he is, he is still not as good as the generals under Lu Ping.
Lu Ping has six generals under his command: Yue Fei, Huang Zhong, Su Dingfang, Yan Qing, Song Jiang, and Yang Fan.
Among them, Yue Fei, Huang Zhong and Su Dingfang are all stronger than Shi Siming.
What Lu Ping lacked was not military generals, but a serious shortage of troops.
Lu Ping currently has 640 spearmen, 320 archers, 320 sword and shield soldiers, and 50 light cavalry, totaling 1,330 soldiers.
