Chapter 312 System Update

The Qinglong Corps and Qinglong Reserve Corps, with a total of more than 7,000 people, fought against the 100,000 Donghu Army for five days. The entire Donghu Army only marched less than 10 miles to the south, but it directly paid nearly 10,000 lives.

The Qinglong Corps and Qinglong Reserve Corps cooperated more and more skillfully. Every time they tried to attack, they could cause great casualties to the other side. If it was the Beishan bandits, their morale would have been destroyed long ago.

In order to resist the harassment of the Qinglong Corps, the elite of the Donghu Army was busy dealing with it every day. Now all their masters above the Qidong Realm have been drawn out. Without masters above the Qidong Realm, the Qinglong Corps can only increase casualties. Now the Donghu Army's combat power above the Qidong Realm has been worn out by almost half. If they don't think of a way, they will be worn out by the Qinglong Corps sooner or later.

Fortunately, on the afternoon of the sixth day, the reinforcements of the Donghu Kingdom finally arrived. More than 30,000 Donghu elite cavalry, plus more than 20,000 ordinary cavalry before, if the number of the opponent's cavalry reaches more than 50,000, and the opponent has supported four Xiantian realm at one time, this will make Hua Zichen dare not harass them as before.

Hua Kai heard the news of Donghu's reinforcements and knew that the opponent was determined to enter Baoyuguan this time and drive the Hua family out of the northern part of Baoyuguan.

Because Donghu's elite cavalry totaled less than 200,000, they also had to face the border countries. Now about 30,000 cavalry have been lost to the Hua family. Their 30,000 elites have almost exhausted the elites in the southern part of Donghu.

More than 30,000 elite cavalry can deal with the Qinglong Corps constantly. The opponent also knows that the Qinglong Corps has more Xiantian combat power than them, and each time they are mainly defensive. The Qinglong Corps tried to attack several times, and the opponent's infantry could quickly support them.

In this way, after nearly a month of walking and stopping, in mid-October, Hua Kai finally saw the shadow of the Donghu army standing on the wall of Baoyuguan.

The Gaoliu Merchants had all entered the pass seven days ago, and they finally returned to Gaoliu City this morning. Butler Huafu was waiting outside Gaoliu City. This time they needed to transport all the horses and half of the cattle and sheep to Huacheng, and there were more than 10,000 slaves bought from the grassland.

Seeing the Qinglong Corps wandering around the Donghu Army like a wolf, rushing up from time to time to take a bite. The Donghu Army was impatient and sent out 10,000 cavalry to deal with it. The Qinglong had a slight contact with it and then walked away, which made the entire Donghu Army exhausted.

The Qinglong Reserve Corps also cooperated with the Qinglong Corps. They made a feint to the east and attacked the west and constantly mobilized the Donghu Army. If the other party did not dispatch in time, they would definitely be bitten again.

The Donghu cavalry had traveled less than 400 miles for more than a month. They had lost more than 20,000 troops in total, and their main general was broken. Finally seeing the Leopard Jade Pass, many Donghu soldiers suddenly felt like crying.

Seeing that they had reached their destination, the Donghu army began to set up camp on the spot. Seeing this, the Qinglong Legion and the Reserve Corps put down each other and rode towards Baoyu Pass.

The gate was opened, and Hua Kai watched his uncle lead the soldiers in rows. Some young men in the reserve corps, who were only about 20 years old, seemed to have become more stable after the battles in the past few days. The slave soldiers in the pass saw them and sent them to the barracks. Next, they could have a good rest for a while.

Hua Kai stood on the wall of Baoyu Pass. I don't know if the other party would feel desperate after seeing the wall that was more than ten meters high. The rows of arrow towers on the wall were the most lethal weapons to ordinary soldiers. If they wanted to attack Baoyu Pass, I don't know how much blood the Donghu army would have to shed before they had a chance.

At this moment, Gaoliu City was very lively.

Hua Zihuan sat in the main seat of the meeting hall of Gaoliu City. The heads of the six major families sat on both sides. There were 20 chairs below with the 20 most respected elders in Gaoliu City. The heads of some ordinary families could only stand on the periphery.

"Everyone may have heard about what happened outside the Baoyu Pass. After the 3,000 Qinglong Legion defeated the 20,000 elite Donghu cavalry, they also defeated the entire Beishan bandit coalition, and have been holding off the Donghu army of more than 130,000 until now. The enemy army only arrived outside the Baoyu Pass today." After Hua Zihuan finished speaking, many people began to whisper to each other.

Today, all their caravans returned. Many families were doing business for the first time. The profits they made this time were completely beyond their imagination. Some families who originally only sent a few carriages symbolically were able to bring back more than ten slaves this time. Slaves are now gradually becoming legal in Gaoliu City, and the price is getting higher and higher.

"The matter of Leopard Jade Pass will be solved by the White Tiger Corps and the Azure Dragon Corps, but our Suzaku Corps must also be prepared for support. Today I will mainly talk about the livestock trading in our Gaoliu City.

The Jia family is responsible for the retail of all shops in Gaoliu City, but given the situation in our Gaoliu County, we still have to set a rule. Gaoliu County is in short supply of newly built livestock. Suddenly, more than 100,000 sheep, more than 40,000 cows, and more than 50,000 horses arrived. The price will definitely be directly pulled down.

Kaier told me about stabilizing commodity prices yesterday. Today I will discuss with you a reasonable livestock price. In the future, our Gaoliu City will have a new price bureau. The specific person in charge can apply for each family, and only the head of the Hua family will be responsible...

Then let's talk about the application for pastures. Now basically all families have applied for grassland grazing. I asked Kaier for his opinion. All the land in Gaoliu County is the property of the Hua family... How big is each piece of grassland, how much is the annual usage fee, and how much deposit is required. Let's discuss it together."

Hua Zihuan presided over the temporary affairs meeting of Gaoliu City. Almost all families sent people today, because the Hua family still needed to preside over the meeting to convert the caravan into money after it returned, otherwise some big families would eat the small families to the bone.

It didn't take long for several discussion items to be discussed, and they were all passed unanimously. For the final grassland leasing and use, everyone's opinion was one bone coin per acre of grassland. Hua Zihuan did not object, but he was very persistent in the grassland deposit.

"If the deposit is too little, won't anyone be able to open a ranch? If you can't solve the problem yourself when you encounter a wolf pack, will all the livestock be fed to the wolves? And for the use of the grassland, all families must not pollute and destroy it. This is where all of us will live in the future. If anyone destroys the environment and does not repair it in time, don't even think about getting the deposit back." Hua Zihuan said loudly.

The Hua family no longer directly manages all the affairs of Gaoliu City, but its prestige is higher than when it first came. After hearing Hua Zihuan say this, no one objected.

In the afternoon, the trading prices of cattle, horses and sheep were posted in the livestock market of Gaoliu City. All livestock transactions could not exceed the highest price given by the [Price Bureau]. Then there was an additional livestock purchasing station in the livestock market. If someone could not sell their livestock, they would be purchased at a low price.

In this way, all the families who went to the grassland to trade this time could make more than four times the profit even if they sold at a low price. Some people also began to buy livestock at the purchasing stations organized by the [Price Bureau]. More and more people in the whole Gaoliu City began to prepare to send some family members to go outside Gaoliu City. After paying the grassland gold and rental fees to the Hua family, they could obtain the right to use.

There seemed to be no wave of 200,000 cattle and sheep entering Gaoliu City. The whole Gaoliu City was not filled with livestock as everyone imagined. Every day, families took newly purchased slaves and drove long caravans and livestock to leave Gaoliu City. Gaoliu City, which had only been active for a few days, soon became what it was before. Some families even left Gaoliu City with all their core members. They planned to focus on animal husbandry in the future.

On October 17, the Donghu army rested outside the Baoyu Pass for three consecutive days before launching an attack on Baoyu Pass. However, they only used bows and arrows to test the wall. After hundreds of people died, they found that ordinary bows and arrows could not cause much damage to the White Tiger Legion on the wall, so they returned to the camp.

Seeing that the Donghu army outside the pass had built a complete defense, the Qinglong Legion had been resting in the barracks inside the pass. That night, Hua Kai entered the [Family Secret Space].

"System prompt: It is detected that the host family has controlled the territory [Gaoliu County] and has been recognized by the will of heaven and earth, and the family luck value is rewarded with 111253 points.

Found that the system can be updated, do you want to update?"

Hua Kai found that the system actually had an update reminder. He didn't know how the Hua family got the recognition of the will of heaven and earth, but he found that he couldn't get the family luck value without updating, so he chose to update.

"Host chooses system update... Updating... Update completed!"

The upgrade took no more than three seconds, and Hua Kai checked the family attributes after the system update.

Family attributes show that the Hua family has become a fifth-grade family. This should be because the Hua family defeated the army of the Donghu Kingdom and occupied the entire Beishan area. No one will regard the Hua family as a seventh-grade family anymore.

The Hua family has basically separated from the Qi Kingdom and has its own territory that does not belong to any country. Therefore, the system believes that the Hua family is already a separate force recognized by everyone, so this update is made. However, what is the meaning of the sentence "recognized by the will of heaven and earth"? Hua Kai still needs to study it.
