"Ding~ Congratulations to the player for receiving the reward: 7.1 million grain, 6 million timber, 4.9 million stone, 1.7 million iron ore, plus 2,000 battlefield points.
The system voice sounded, and Lu Ping won.
"Immediately count the casualties and collect the prisoners!"
Without time to sigh, Lu Ping gave the order.
Soon, the casualty results came out.
"Report to the Lord! In this battle we have lost 15,000 men, 10,000 captured, and 13 enemy generals."
"As of now, our army has 270,000 troops."
After hearing the report, Lu Ping nodded slightly.
Although the process of this expedition to attack Wang Peng was somewhat difficult, the gains were greater.
Not only did they eliminate more than a dozen surrounding lords and obtain a large amount of resources and national war points, but their military strength did not suffer any losses and instead increased by 100,000.
Lu Ping was quite satisfied with the result.
"Pass the order! The entire army will rest for three days."
"Three days later, the army will be divided into three parts. I will lead 50,000 soldiers back, while General Bai Qi and General Yue Fei will each lead 110,000 soldiers to continue the attack on the surrounding lords."
After thinking about it, Lu Ping continued to give instructions.
"promise!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Fei, Bai Qi and others immediately accepted the order.
"Remember, the two of you, there's still a month left until the end of the national war. Time is running out."
"Therefore, you don't need to worry about casualties, just attack with all your strength."
"Yes, I will obey your order!"
"Well, I understand."
"Come here, bring up all the captured generals."
"Yes."
Soon, Wang Jian, Zhou Yu and other generals were tied up and escorted to Lu Ping.
"Your lord is dead, are you willing to surrender?"
Looking at the captured Wang Jian, Zhou Yu and others, Lu Ping smiled.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jian, Zhou Yu and others looked gloomy and did not answer.
Seeing this, Lu Ping did not urge him, but waited patiently.
On the battlefields of all nations, lords died in battle, and generals had no choice but to surrender.
"We are willing to surrender."
Sure enough, not long after, Wang Jian and others gritted their teeth and said.
"Haha, a man who knows the times is a hero."
Hearing Wang Jian's words, Lu Ping laughed out loud.
Then, Lu Ping glanced at Wang Jian and others one by one.
It goes without saying that Wang Jian and Zhou Yu are capable. Lu Ping has known about them for a long time and has long regarded them as his own.
Lu Ping was concerned about other generals.
In addition to Wang Jian and Zhou Yu, Lu Ping also captured eleven other generals.
Among these eleven people, there are also three second-rate generals.
Lu Ping was familiar with these three people, namely Guan Sheng, a hero of Liangshan, Shi Bao, two of the Four Heavenly Kings under Fang La, and Deng Yuanjue.
Lu Ping didn't know them before.
It seems that I underestimated Wang Peng before. This guy has extraordinary luck.
Except for Guan Sheng, Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue, the remaining eight generals are all rubbish generals without exception, and Lu Ping will not care about them.
Lu Ping planned to get rid of all these rubbish generals later. If they could be sold, he would sell them. If not, he would just give them away.
During this expedition, Lu Ping captured far more than Zhou Yu and the other thirteen people, including more than thirty generals captured by Yue Fei and Bai Qi before.
The total number of military generals has reached more than 130.
The upper limit of the number of generals each lord can own is 100, and the extra ones cannot be used even if they are kept.
Three days later, Lu Ping led an army of 50,000 on his return journey.
At the same time, the armies of Yue Fei and Bai Qi also set out one after another.
According to the plan, the two of them will advance in two directions to the southeast respectively.
Half a month later, Lu Ping returned to the city.
After returning to the city, Lu Ping’s first thing was to upgrade the resource buildings.
After completing the construction of the remaining villages, Lu Ping gave priority to building farmland and corresponding houses.
Lu Ping’s total military strength has now reached 330,000, and food is in serious short supply.
Fortunately, Lu Ping only needs to hold on for one month. Once the national war is over, the redundant soldiers will be laid off.
Otherwise, Lu Ping will fall into a food crisis again.
After finishing all this, Lu Ping sent a message to Xia Mo, informing her that he had returned.
Of course, I also have to say hello to Lu Yi.
Fortunately, because the communication function was turned on, Lu Ping kept in touch with the two of them.
Otherwise, they don’t know how worried they would be.
As for Gao Tianyi, Lu Ping contacted him the day after Wang Peng was killed.
Upon learning that Lu Ping had killed Wang Peng, Gao Tianyi was naturally overjoyed and expressed his intention to apply for a commendation for Lu Ping.
Lu Ping didn't care about it, he just said that he had something to talk to Gao Tianyi about after he came back.
Although Gao Tianyi was curious, since Lu Ping didn't say anything, he naturally didn't dare to ask.
After chatting with Lu Yi, Lu Ping invited Gao Tianyi to chat.
Soon, Gao Tianyi accepted the invitation.
After a few pleasantries, Lu Ping quickly got down to business.
"Lao Gao, you know I'm already at level nine. I'm afraid it won't be long before I reach level three."
"But I have almost no idea what's going on on the third floor."
"I just want to ask, before entering the third level, don't you need to undergo training?"
Lu Ping raised his doubts.
"Of course!"
"The third level is completely different from the second level, and training is necessary, there's no doubt about that."
Gao Tianyi said without hesitation.
“How is the training done specifically?”
Lu Ping asked again.
"This is easy. We have unified training materials and videos. They cover everything. You will understand after watching them."
"I'll send someone to deliver the textbooks to you later."
"After reading it, if you still have any questions, we will arrange for someone to answer them for you."
"Okay, in that case, I'll trouble you, Lao Gao."
"It's no trouble. Even if you don't mention it, I will tell you."
"Well, thank you."
"There's one more thing I need to trouble you with."
Lu Ping said again.
"What's up?"
"It's about my sister Lu Yi. She will be eighteen next year, and in ten months she will be the third batch to enter the Wan Guo battlefield."
"I originally planned to be her protector, but at this rate, I'm afraid I'll be on the third level in less than half a year."
"Therefore, I hope to find a powerful lord in the military to serve as her protector."
"It's definitely okay to find an asylum seeker, but I have to be clear upfront that I can't offer you the best options."
After hearing Lu Ping's words, Gao Tianyi thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Why?"
Lu Ping frowned.
"Lu Ping, I'm telling you the truth."
"Although our military has many lords on the second floor, there aren't many lords with strong power. There are only about 20 to 30 at most."
"But have you ever thought about how many leaders in our military need protection?"
"Not just the military, but also the government leaders?"
"You can imagine how precious the patronage of these lords is."
"So, I really can't get their protection."
