Chapter 234 Chapter 237 Empress: General, please wear your green hat 25
In the middle of the night, everything is silent.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed by without a sound.
"master!"
There was a sudden noise in the empty room, and Xia Xu on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
Seeing a man in black standing inside the room, Xia Xu seemed to have expected it. She walked to the table and sat down in a hurry, pouring a cup of tea.
"Did someone catch it?"
Xia Xu asked lightly while playing with the teacup.
"Caught!"
The man in black said, and handed over an envelope!
Xia Xu took it and opened it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but sneer, "Oh, dead?"
"Boom!"
The sound of the teacup being tapped on the table sounded, inexplicably frightening in this dark and silent room.
The man in black quickly lowered his head even lower!
Xia Xu narrowed his eyes, and although his tone was gentle, he said coldly, "This man died in time!"
There were spies in the army before, which led to the defeat of Xia Jun, and she almost died at the hands of Jin Bing.
Now the spy was finally caught, but he died at a critical moment!
If there is nothing tricky in it, who would believe it?
"Master, now that the spies have been caught, when will you go back to preside over the overall situation?"
"Not yet..."
Xia Xu rubbed her brows. She stayed here before to lure out the spies in the camp. Now that the spies have been caught, it stands to reason that she should go back, but...
In fact, Xia Xu didn't quite understand why he stayed here at the critical moment when the two armies were fighting.
Maybe it's because she always has a premonition somewhere: this village will be the key to their Xia Kingdom turning defeat into victory.
At first, she thought that this village might threaten Xia Guo. After all, it was training soldiers and making weapons privately, so it was hard not to let people think too much.
But after a period of testing, this possibility can basically be ruled out.
Moreover, the owner of this village is indeed a rare and rare genius, if he can be recruited...
Thinking of this, Xia Xu turned his head and confessed to the man in black: "Go back and pass on my order to let General Qin guard Hejian County to the death. No matter what the enemy does, don't go out of the city to fight. We will talk about everything when I come back!"
General Qin is the only one who knows that she is still alive!
The Qin family has been loyal and good for generations, they are staunch royalists, and they will never betray her!
Although General Qin is close to sixty years old, he is old and strong and has rich combat experience, so she is very relieved to hand over the affairs of the general to the other party!
"Yes!"
The man in black led the way.
……
One month later, Taohuazhai has become a barracks, and the training is on the right track.
These people who joined later had seen Jun Jiu's ferocity long ago, so they didn't dare to make trouble, and could only train obediently every day.
And with the suppression of Yan Fan, Er Niu and others, even if they wanted to, they couldn't make any waves.
Gradually, these people were assimilated by the life in Taohuazhai and accepted the status quo.
What was so good about the previous life?
Now not only can they have enough food and clothing, but also have money, which is much better than the life they used to tie their lives to the waist of their trousers, and even food and clothing were a problem!
The only shortcoming is that they are a little tired, but they are young and strong, so they have more physical strength!
After the change of mentality, everyone felt that joining Taohuazhai was a wise choice!
So I started to get serious, everyone was full of energy and trained hard!
In contrast, Jun Jiu who has nothing to do all day is a bit out of place!
In fact, Jun Jiu can't be blamed, it's because these subordinates are too hardworking and take care of everything, so she has nothing to do!
This day, as soon as Jun Jiu came back from a stroll outside, he saw Wang Shuang frowning, looking preoccupied.
"What? Don't you have enough food and money?" Jun Jiu walked over and asked.
Although a lot of money was robbed in Heifengzhai before, but now there are tens of thousands of mouths waiting to eat and make weapons. Money is needed everywhere, and that money is not enough!
As for the robbers from other villages...
Not to mention that!
Most of the other villages are basically not much better than the Taohua Village at the beginning, and there is no money at all!
In times of war, it is good to be alive, and it is a luxury to be able to eat enough.
His thoughts were interrupted, he looked up and saw that it was Jun Jiu, Wang Shuang got up immediately, with a rather ashamed expression on his face.
"Master, I am ashamed of your trust. The money and food are indeed... not enough. According to the current situation, it can only last half a month at most."
Speaking of this, Wang Shuang sighed, now it is the time of war, and the price of food outside is ridiculously high, even if they have money, they can't afford to spend so much!
"What are you talking about? You've done a good job. To be honest, it's beyond my expectation that the money and food can last till now!"
Jun Jiu patted Wang Shuang on the shoulder, expressing his affirmation.
"But food..."
Wang Shuang frowned, and was about to refute, but was stopped by Jun Jiu raising his hand.
Jun Jiu narrowed her phoenix eyes, and her tone was smiling.
"As for the money, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own way!"
***
There are three counties in Hejian County, Anling County where Taohuazhai is located, Pingchuan County where the Xia Army is stationed, and Maoye County where the Jin Army is occupying.
Among them, Anling County is located in the northwest corner, between Pingchuan County and Maoye County. It is the most remote of the three counties, but the largest county seat.
Now the Xia and Jin armies are stalemate in Pingchuan County and Maoye County, but Anling County has become the safest place due to its special geographical location, mostly high mountains and steep mountains, making it difficult to fight.
It was night, the sky was dark, and thick dark clouds came from all directions, densely piled together, covering the sky, and there was an inexplicable sign of a storm coming.
It had rained heavily a few days ago, and the muddy ground made it very difficult to walk.
Looking at the ruts and scattered footprints on the ground, Jun Jiu raised his eyebrows, stood up and said, "People should have left not long ago, the number of people is about 2000, and the food is about [-] shi. Oh, this gold soldier is rich."
Xia Xu, who was next to him, was surprised when he heard this, "The village owner can see so much from just one rut? He even knows the exact amount of food..."
Jun Jiu glanced at Xia Xu with a half-smile, and then explained: "These are not difficult, and those who have been fighting for many years should be able to see it. As for the amount of food, just look at the depth of the wheels. You can roughly calculate the total…”
Hearing Jun Jiu's explanation, everyone suddenly felt ashamed.
Although Jun Jiu said that it is not difficult, but there are really few people who can do it. Without long-term accumulation of experience, it is absolutely impossible!
As for why Jun Jiu can do this at such a young age?
Don't ask, it's natural to ask!
Everyone has long been used to Jun Jiu's supernatural powers, and they don't find it strange at all.
Er Niu scratched her head, and said in admiring tone: "You are amazing, Master! But how did you know that the Jin Army will escort the grain and grass today?"
"Otherwise, do you really think that I have nothing to do in the past month, just wandering outside every day?" Jun Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked back.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
No wonder he didn't see the head of the family all day long. It turned out that he went to find out information.
It really deserves to be the master!
Jun Jiu got on his horse and said to the crowd: "According to my judgment, the traces of the march were half a day ago, and this route should pass through Anling County. We must hurry up and stop them before they leave Anling. ..."
After finishing speaking, Jun Jiu flicked his horsewhip and rushed out!
"Yes!"
When everyone saw this, they quickly followed.
This time, Jun Jiu only brought 300 people, including Er Niu, Yan Fan, and Xia Xu, who followed with a stern look.
As for Cang Ran, because he was too young, he was not allowed to participate, and Wang Shuang, who knew a little about three-legged cat kung fu, was also left in Taohuazhai to watch the house.
No matter how you run with two legs, you can't run with four legs, let alone with luggage.
In less than an hour, one step ahead, the spy in charge of inquiring about the news came back——
"Report, there are traces of marching ahead, suspected to be the Jin Army!"
Jun Jiu reined in the horse, and then made a gesture: Everyone get off the horse!
Everyone hurriedly followed suit, everything was done lightly, and there was almost no sound during the whole process.
All of this is due to the fighting gestures that Jun Jiu taught everyone when they were just training.
Hiding the horses well, relying on the advantage of the terrain, Jun Jiu led some people and took a small path to the front of the enemy, intending to pinch the enemy back and forth!
Yan Fan and the others were hiding in the grass by the side of the road, quietly waiting for the enemy to fall into the net!
Soon, a figure appeared not far away!
Looking at a group of people whose physical characteristics are obviously different from those of Xia Guo, they walked towards them with a car pressed against them!
Yan Fan and the others were overjoyed. They thought it was just a food delivery team, but they never expected that there were boxes of gold, silver and jewelry inside!
These gold, silver and jewels couldn't even cover the box, and when the lid was lifted, the golden light shone, dazzling everyone's eyes!
One, two, three... six, seven! !
Be good, there are seven big boxes!
This is really eye-catching!
They were bandits in the first place, and now seeing the money, they can't wait to gear up and do it right away!
"Grandma, so much money, let's give it away!!" Er Niu said excitedly.
Yan Fan was more stable. Not only did she see the baggage trucks one after another, but she also noticed that there were hundreds of ragged men in the middle of the grain transportation team...
These men have numb expressions, and most of them are wounded. They are barefoot, their wrists are tied up with a long hemp rope, and they are strung together like livestock!
Xia Xu hid next to Yan Fan. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help lowering her voice, her tone filled with anger, "These beasts, judging from the direction they marched in, they should have robbed some rich village. Sooner or later One day, I will make them pay the price!"
"These Jin troops are already arrogant and rude, and they often harass the people on the border of the Xia Kingdom unscrupulously on weekdays! Now that the two armies are at war, they have even vented all their anger on the people of the Xia Kingdom."
Seeing those Xia people being tied to a rope like animals and being beaten and scolded at every turn, even Yan Fan, who was born as a bandit, couldn't help but keep his voice cold, and his resolute eyes were full of murderous intent.
Moreover, the beast's butcher's knife is not only aimed at weak men, but also the elderly and immature children with limited mobility.
If you look carefully, you can still see a lot of gray-faced heads hanging on the truck, including men, women, old people and children.
Hearing this, Xia Xu's heart felt a little shy.
When will this troubled world end...
