A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 162 The officers and soldiers delivering the message

The captured officers and soldiers were separated into units of five or six, with an archer and an ordinary soldier to guard them.

Early the next morning, they put the people on the mountain and gave them tools to cut down trees and build houses.

The house built this time was still on the mountain, some distance away from the village.

Some people laid foundations, some cut down trees, some chiseled stones, and some were sent to do hard work in brick workshops.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it’s actually just normal farm work.

The officers and soldiers thought that Liu Yunzhai had a lot of troops and had no idea of ​​​​escape. Moreover, they only had to work for four hours a day and had food to eat. Except for the first two or three days when some people thought of escaping, they all stayed behind with peace of mind. Come down.

This is not only true for general officers and soldiers, but also for hundreds of households like Zhang San.

In addition to letting these officers and soldiers work, Bai Xia and the others would send people to brainwash them every day, telling them how great it was here and how powerful the village leader was. They also secretly implemented a points exchange system and exchanged money for food. Revealed some.

Therefore, these officers and soldiers thought that the leader of Liu Yunzhai was an eight-foot-tall, powerful man with countless troops under his command.

They were confused and deceived by the people in Liu Yunzhai. They worked hard every day, and then successfully built a cell that could accommodate about 300 people, and lived in it themselves.

The prison in Nuoda was formed like this. Maybe they didn’t even know that the work they did every day was to build a prison for themselves.

But Bai Xia didn't plan to leave so many people alone.

When these people built the house, they cut down a lot of trees and stones, and together with the confiscated weapons, her energy value entered a state of slow growth. Although the number of people in Liu Yunzhai increased a lot, these people Many of them lack cohesion, and they cannot easily discover the current situation of Liu Yunzhai.

However, after dealing with this group of officers and soldiers, Bai Xia and the others were able to be quiet for a while, but she did not forget that there were still thousands of troops stationed in Tushan.

If they find out, life will be difficult.

Thinking of that, I can't help but think of the iron mines over there.

If you want to prevent the enemy from attacking, it is better to take the initiative yourself.

Bai Xia started to cause trouble again.

She continued to brainwash the surrendered soldiers, and did not give up on recruiting refugees. She led people and horses down the mountain towards Tushan.

The disappearance of the two teams was bound to cause a chain reaction among the Tushan garrison. It was not her style to have people knocking on their door, so she decided to take the initiative to harass the teams and let them take care of themselves.

In this way, they no longer have to worry about the people they sent out.

I have to say that Bai Xia's idea was just right.

Because Lin Shu happened to hear someone report that two hundred-man troops were missing. After they were dispatched, not only did they not get back the food, but they even lost their letters.

Fortunately, during this period, the food and grass shipped from Ganzhou arrived, otherwise they would have been out of food by now.

Although they have food and grass, it is not much, barely enough for one month. If you do not take into account the mining slaves on the mountain, each of them can eat a little more. If the mining slaves are taken into account, they will have to eat too. Eat sparingly.

No matter what you do wrong, you cannot treat your own soldiers badly.

So the food for the mining slaves on the mountain is getting less and less.

Lin Shu asked himself if he could kill people and cook food, but if the mine slave couldn't bear it because he had no food to eat, then he couldn't be blamed.

His heart was darker than the officials on the mountain, and he actually wanted to make them kill each other.

The mining slaves on the mountain have less food, their strength is not as strong as before, and the things they dig out are also much less.

Several times he asked for accountability, but Lin Shu blocked him by asking for food instead.

Food, food, where is there no shortage of food now?

Where are they going to find food?Having said that, the people sent from above still went back to resume their duties.

Tushan's iron ore production is relatively high, so we still can't give up here, so Lin Shu and the others received the grain and grass sent to them. It was precisely because of receiving the grain and grass that they knew that they were not abandoned, so they were thoughtful. Thinking about the two groups of people leaving.

When I asked, okay, everyone was gone.

There is something fishy about this.

Just looking at the more than 600 people who were divided up on the mountain, plus the 400 people who were sent out.

The garrison at the foot of the mountain dropped from the original 1 to 9000.

To be able to capture his two hundred-man troops in a row, the opponent must at least be of the same size. If the opponent is also a large army, sending his men out will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth.

Taking out the nearby terrain map, Lin Shu analyzed the surrounding forces.

"Is it the Jiazhou garrison?"

Each state has its own garrison. Gan, Quan, and Yu are the fiefdoms of King Liang. They all belong to the private army of King Liang. It is unlikely that they will have trouble with his people.

Apart from this, only Jiazhou next door is the closest and borders Ganzhou. If there is a problem, it is probably related to Jiazhou.

I just don’t know if it’s the Jiazhou government or the bandits over there.

He also knew that due to the drought, bandits were rampant in the world, and there were many daring people who wanted to steal things from the officers and soldiers in order to strengthen their power.

And there are refugee riots.

He eliminated the locations on the topographic map one by one, and finally settled on Jiazhou.

He took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote down the contents, then sealed the letter and called people in.

"come"

"General"

"Order someone to send this letter out and give it to Lin Jiao, the commander of the Jiazhou Infantry. It's urgent."

"Yes"

The visitor took the lacquer-sealed letter and slowly stepped back. Then he held the letter and arranged it. A man rode a horse and galloped towards Jiazhou with the letter.

However, it was said that Bai Xia and the others were riding horses, and their speed was much faster than walking. Before they reached Tushan, they saw a fast horse speeding towards them. Both parties reined in their horses and stopped at the same time, looking at each other.

The officers and soldiers who delivered the message looked at the person sitting directly opposite. He was wearing ordinary coarse clothes, his skin was a little dark, and his hands had a thick layer of calluses. In front of them, there was a young girl.

There were ten people on the opposite side, and although there was a child, he was the only one, and he did not consider himself to be their opponent.

Bai Xia's eyes were also looking at him. Although he had never seen a real messenger soldier, he had seen many dramas on TV. The outfit of the officers and soldiers, as well as the signature travel equipment of one man and one rider, looked very much like a messenger. .

Both sides did not act rashly and watched each other vigilantly.

At this moment, a "hands on" sound came out, and both sides moved at the same time.

The officer and soldier turned their horses and ran towards the way they came, while Bai Xia and the others drove their horses forward to pursue them, intending to intercept them.

One person and one horse, nine people and nine horses, one behind the other, played a game of chasing and escaping. Bai Xia deliberately fell behind, took a detour, and intercepted people in front.

Zhui Feng can run faster than ordinary horses. Although the officers and soldiers who delivered the message were riding war horses in the military camp, during this period, the food and grass were reduced, and the food level of the war horses also dropped a lot, resulting in a loss of physical strength and endurance. dropped.
