…

The current population of Julu was a little over 150,000, referred to the registry of the people who had made their identification token at the city hall.

Each happy citizen would return Tong one lifespan. If one hundred thousand people were satisfied to live under Tong and his father's rules, Tong and Hua Shi would get 100,000 lifespans back by the end of the year. This had not included other benefits from occupying a city.

Despite all of his past achievements, Tong was not content with only the stability of the domestic of Julu. Now, he was eyeing on the city of Ye where Zhang He and Ju Shou was at.

'Now that the domestic situation has been improved. I'll stop making any further improvement to let the people digest the change. It's about time I expand my troops and plan for the expansion!'

The current number of city garrison was now 20,000 men, and outside the city, 30,000 new soldiers were being trained. Combined with the original troops of Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and Bo Cai's 12,000 men, Tong had 62,000 soldiers stationing within Julu territory.

'I want to house more troops, but I think my uncles, Zhou Cang, and Bo Cai probably cannot handle it anymore. I need more capable generals to handle this massive army … Right! I forgot about the invitation! How are Zhao Yun and Sima family? I need to ask Lu Zhi! Oh, wait. Lu Zhi in the history can lead troops, too! I can make him a general when a crisis happens. Hehe!'

Tong returned to the government hall to look for Lu Zhi.

…

At the courtyard of Lu Zhi, a stern middle-aged man sipped the hot tea from the cup in his hands. On the opposite side of the wooden round table, Lu Zhi was there, conversing with the man in front of him.

”If I have heard that you arrived here last week, I could have welcomed you myself. At least, you should have sent me a letter to notify me beforehand.”

The man shook his head and said.

”To begin with, it was my fault. I want to see how this Zhang family operates the city. I can't let them know my presence or my evaluation of them will be off.”

Lu Zhi sighed while he still had a wry smile on his face. The man in front of him was Sima Fang, courtesy name Jiangong.

He was the father of the future Wei Empire renowned strategist, Sima Yi.
