Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Wei exchanged for another three thousand people.
Each person is equipped with a suit of armor, a long spear, a helmet, and a black-maned horse.
Of course, they also need to be given unit templates.
In the system shop, the first-tier troop template is still the White Robe Army.
After all, the Great Wall Legion had previously been equipped with 1,000 cavalrymen, and now they have been given an additional 3,000!
A cavalryman requires a total of 181 points.
Liu Wei spent all his points in one go, leaving him with just over 60,000.
Liu Wei simply exchanged the grain for provisions.
Looking at the attribute panel again, it has also changed.
[Host]: Liu Wei
[Points]: 10... (Growing)
[Federation]: Wuyuan City, Shuofang Commandery (1200 square kilometers)
[Soldiers]: 3,000 swordsmen and shieldmen, 3,000 spearmen, 3,000 archers, and 4,000 light cavalry.
[Military General]: Xue Rengui (★★★★)
Subsequently, three thousand light cavalrymen appeared on the plains before them.
By now, Liu Wei's total force has reached 13,000 men, a number equivalent to a reinforced division in later times.
In addition, there were 3,000 Xianbei cavalry and 3,000 Xiongnu cavalry attached to the unit!
These three thousand Xiongnu soldiers, who survived the infighting among their own people, had the blood of at least five of their own kin on their hands.
They could never go back; serving Liu Wei was their only way out.
By this calculation, Liu Wei's entire army now numbers over 20,000!
In addition, there were tens of thousands of Xianbei herders from Budugen and 20,000 herders who originally belonged to Fuluo.
Only ten days after leaving Yanmen Pass, Liu Wei controlled a population equivalent to that of a county, and his army already exceeded that of a governor.
If Empress He and General He of Luoyang knew this, I wonder what they would think.
If I had known that letting Liu Wei out of the border region would be a certain death, I would have thought that it was like letting a tiger return to the mountain and a dragon enter the abyss!
"Captain Xue, what's been happening these past two days?"
Liu Wei ordered his three thousand cavalry to rest in a forest outside Shanwu City.
He returned to the city, summoned Xue Rengui, and asked him a question.
"My lord, intelligence gathered by scouts from Yunzhong, Meiji, Jiuyuan, and other places indicates that Qiangqu was enraged after receiving Yufuluo's head!"
"Now they are amassing a large force to avenge Shan Wuwei's son."
Liu Wei nodded:
"This suits my purposes perfectly. Before I arrive in Shuofang, the Southern Xiongnu must be dealt with!"
"They either surrender or leave!"
"If they want to fight head-on, then we must exterminate their entire clan!"
“This Manhan Mountain is a good place to bury them.”
After Liu Wei finished speaking, he immediately changed the subject: "Captain Xue, this time it's not like the last sneak attack, it's a head-on confrontation!"
"This Great Wall army has 10,000 men, plus 6,000 soldiers from the Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes, totaling less than 20,000 men."
"Qiangqu Chanyu has brought at least 100,000 troops this time. Do you have a plan to defeat them?"
Xue Rengui laughed and said, "My lord, are you testing this humble general?"
"After surveying the terrain around Shanwu these past two days, I've discovered a good battlefield. Defeating Qiangqu should be a piece of cake."
"However, after the defeat, if we want to expand the gains, the number of cavalry is still too small."
"If there were two or three thousand more, I would be able to make the Southern Xiongnu lose their backbone, either submit or flee to another land."
"For fifty years, we will not dare to cross the Yinshan Mountains again!"
Seeing Xue Rengui's domineering presence, he must have come up with a plan to defeat the enemy.
"Three thousand cavalry? I'll give them to you and incorporate them into your Great Wall Legion!"
Liu Wei waved his hand and said generously.
"This humble general thanks your lord!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Rengui's face immediately hardened with excitement, and he bowed deeply, saying, "Rest assured, my lord, this humble general will ensure that the Qiangqu's 100,000 troops never return!"
"And we will capture Qiangqu alive and present him to our lord!"
"Very well, I await Commandant Xue's great victory!"
Liu Wei clapped his hands in approval, and said, "The three thousand cavalrymen are now waiting in the woods outside the city."
"If you possess my sword, you may recruit him into your ranks and await his command."
Xue Rengui solemnly accepted Liu Wei's sword and left.
Afterwards, Liu Wei returned to his residence in Shanwu City.
This place was originally the general's residence where the Han Dynasty's Protector-General of the Xiongnu stationed his troops.
The facilities are complete, with two courtyards, one in front and one in back.
In front are the meeting hall, reception room, and office area.
The rear residence was the general's residence, as well as the living quarters for his family, servants, and maids.
In the back courtyard, there is also a small garden.
A Protector of the Xiongnu was the highest military and administrative official in this border region.
Their residence was naturally top-of-the-line.
After defeating Yufuluo and capturing Shanwu City, Liu Wei made it his temporary residence!
Guo Luo and Yang Yi, along with their guards, stood inside, while Xue Rengui sent a hundred soldiers to protect them on the outside.
When Liu Wei entered the mansion, Guo Luo and Yang Yi greeted him with expressions of relief.
The Marquis went out alone without allowing them to follow, which made them very worried.
Now, after many hardships, Liu Wei has a place to live in the border region, and tens of thousands of troops.
Neither of them wanted anything to happen to Liu Wei.
They're still waiting for Liu Wei to give them individual command of troops!
"My lord! You're finally back! We were so worried!" The two men were filled with concern.
Liu Wei was physically weak and had no martial arts skills to rely on.
Feeling their concern, Liu Wei nodded: "Don't worry, anyone who dares to harm me is either dead or on their way to death!"
After saying this, he told them they didn't need to follow him and went into the inner courtyard alone.
"My lord!"
