Chapter 92 Iron Fist
Ten days later, in the meeting hall of Guangling County Government,
Jia Xu, Lu Bu, and Cheng Hu all gathered here.

"Lord, Ji Ying has led 5000 Benlang Camp and [-] soldiers back to Sheyang. The remaining [-] soldiers and the Tiger Camp, totaling [-] people, are respectively commanded by Zhang Liao and Cheng Hu to guard Guangling."

"In addition, the remaining two thousand surrendered soldiers in the city have also been separated and inserted into our army. The conditions for the surrendered soldiers in the city to rebel have disappeared. There is no need to worry about the city defense for the time being."

Cheng Hu took the lead in reporting on the reorganization of the army in the city.

Jia Xu continued,
"The situation of the big families in the city has been investigated clearly. This time, the big families, led by the Chen family, Zhang family, and Fan family, have united to confront the official family. The other small families are also threatened by these three big families and do not dare to take the initiative to show favor to us. .”

"Now only the Su family takes the initiative to make good friends with the government, but the casinos, brothels and other underground places run by the Su family are not suitable for being brought back to the government for management."

"In the past few days, the county government's treasury has been unable to make ends meet. According to Jia Xu, it is appropriate to take over salt, iron, mining and other industries that were originally government-run as soon as possible."

Liu Xuan nodded and said,
"Now that my army has completely controlled the city's defenses, these industries will be taken over as they should be. If the wealthy families in the city dare to resist, their homes will be ransacked in the name of rebellion."

"Cheng Hu, you will lead the Tiger Battalion to assist the military advisor in handling this matter."

Liu Xuan decisively issued the task. The bad habits of Yan Baihu's era should be changed.

Jia Xu accepted the order and immediately took Cheng Hu to handle the matter of taking over the property.

[Notepad opens.]

[In 198 AD, in Guangling County, you led [-] cavalry to the rescue of Sheyang County. Outside Sheyang City, you and Lu Bu were extremely brave and defeated Yan Baihu's [-] army in one battle.Yan Baihu's soldiers suffered heavy losses, and he took advantage of the situation and attacked Guangling City.He sent Lu Bu to Guangling City to persuade Bai Hu to surrender.In the end, Yan Baihu died in a suicide attack, the rest of the people surrendered, and he took control of Guangling. 】

[Complete development tasks: Southern Expedition to Guangling]

[Task completion: 100%]

[According to the completion of the task, the following entries will be obtained]

[Entry [-]: Mantis shrimp (blue); Entry [-]: Iron Fist (blue)]

[Existing entries: hard (blue); mantis shrimp (blue); iron fist (blue)]

[Combinable entries: Hard Iron Fist; Mantis Shrimp’s Iron Fist]

[Please select a combined entry or temporarily save the entry. 】

The mission of the southern expedition to Guangling was completed, and the notepad was automatically opened.

Looking at the three entries in the notepad, Liu Xuan made his choice without hesitating for long.

"Combo: Iron Fist of the Mantis Shrimp"

[Successful combination: Obtain the Iron Fist of the Mantis Shrimp (blue)]

[Mantis Shrimp's Iron Fist: Extreme punching speed and punching power. Through the special combination of muscles and joints, it can exert an attack power more than a hundred times the basic strength.For self-protection, when punching, the fist will briefly transform into a shrimp claw form. 】

[Please select the effective target: Liu Xuan; Zhao Liniang; Lu Bu]

I actually came across a status entry again.

Liu Xuan was secretly happy that he had used the keen eagle eye and tremendous strength he had acquired previously on himself.

This time, it's the Mantis Shrimp's Iron Fist. Judging from the description, it's a status attached to the hand.

Liu Xuan subconsciously wanted to use it for himself, but after looking at the description, it seemed that this state had some side effects on himself, so when he punched, his fist would turn into the claw form of a mantis shrimp.

After thinking about it, Liu Xuan looked at Lu Bu with a wicked smile,

"Feng Xian, come here."

"What are your orders, my lord?" Lu Bu approached Liu Xuan with a confused expression.

"I suddenly understood a kind of boxing technique, and now I will teach it to you."

Liu Xuan said, putting a hand on Lu Bu's arm, and with a thought,
"Effective object: Lu Bu"

[Lu Bu has obtained the Iron Fist of the Mantis Shrimp. According to Lu Bu's physical analysis, the instant strength of the Iron Fist of the Mantis Shrimp can reach 150 times. 】

Lu Bu felt a warm current suddenly pour into his right hand, and he instantly understood how to use the mantis shrimp's iron fist.

He looked at Liu Xuandao with some surprise, "My lord's ability is indeed unfathomable. This fist technique is enough to shake the world." "Come on, let's try it and see how powerful it is?" Liu Xuan was also very curious about the power of this iron fist.

"Okay, my lord, please step back."

Lu Bu looked at his right fist, suddenly realized, and activated the mantis shrimp's iron fist.

He punched the ground with his fist.

Lu Bu's fist was instantly covered with something like a shrimp shell, making his fist look extremely hard.

"Boom~" There was a loud noise.

The meeting hall seemed to shake, and a cloud of dust and debris exploded.
The whole chamber was in a mess,

Liu Xuan was not spared either. There was dust everywhere on his clothes.

The dust dispersed, and a hole as big as a washbasin was made on the stone floor of the meeting hall by Lu Bu's punch.

The stone slabs were cracked into gravel, and the soil was smashed into powder.

The power that increased a hundred times in an instant was truly terrifying. No one in the world could withstand Lu Bu's punch.

Fortunately, Lu Bu is one of our own.

"Haha, so happy, this is the ultimate power."

Lu Bu looked at his right fist, and the green carapace on it was slowly fading away.

Under the carapace, Lu Bu's entire right hand trembled slightly.

"It's a pity that if I try my best, even with my body, I won't be able to punch a few punches."

Lu Bu said with some regret,
"Lord, what is the name of this boxing technique?"

"Let's call it, Mantis Fist." Liu Xuan casually picked a name and said perfunctorily.

Lu Bu didn't dislike it at all. With such an extreme burst of power, it didn't matter what his name was.

Sure enough, the mantis shrimp's iron fist still had some limitations. With Lu Bu's strong body, he couldn't hit a second punch in a short time after one punch.

And the moment he punched, Liu Xuan had already discovered that it was impossible to hold a weapon when his fist turned into a shrimp claw state.

Therefore, it is still unrealistic to rely on this boxing technique to sweep an army.

Let’s see if it can work wonders in the future.

The next day, Jia Xu took Cheng Hu and a group of Tiger Battalion soldiers to various major families to discuss taking over the industry.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be extremely smooth.

With the military's deterrence, the three major families took the initiative to hand over their government-owned industries, and handed over the salt fields and iron mines in Guangling County to Jia Xu.

However, water transportation and land transportation were not officially owned by the government, so Jia Xu had no reason to take them back. He just asked each company to truthfully report the scale of their industry.

These will later serve as the basis for taxation.

Liu Xuan listened to Jia Xu's report, and for a moment he didn't know what these wealthy families were planning.

"Wenhe, do you think these companies are sincere in handing over these businesses?" Liu Xuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's definitely not sincere. These aristocratic families have been entrenched in Guangling for hundreds of years. It's definitely not that simple." Jia Xu shook his head and concluded decisively,

"Otherwise, the former County Sheriff Yan Baihu would not have been reduced to the point where he could not even operate the most profitable salt and iron business."

"This time they took the initiative to hand over these industries, so they must have back-up plans."

Liu Xuan nodded, "Okay, let's just wait and see what happens. Let's see what tricks they play."
