Chapter 95
On April 22, the officers and soldiers on the North Road easily crossed the Duobao River, but did not continue to move forward.

He probably received the news of the defeat of the South Route Army and planned to rest for a day on the south bank of the Duobao River.

At night, Chen Xun guessed that the commander of the officers and soldiers must have known that they only had this main force left.

Sure enough, on the second day, the officers and soldiers marched very carefully, and sent 1000 forbidden troops as the vanguard, and scouted the horses everywhere. The first scouting horses arrived outside the wall of Chenjiazhuang that morning.

Chen Xun did not let the officers and soldiers explore the horse too arrogantly, and the horse army staying in Chenjiazhuang was dispatched.

Relying on their own advantages of strengthening Mongolian horses and the long-range attack advantage of holding repeating crossbows, the horse army ate up the probing horses of the officers and soldiers one by one, completely beating the main force of the officers and soldiers blind.

This also caused the officers and soldiers to move more carefully, which could be said to move forward little by little.

Duobaohe was only 23 miles away from Chenjiazhuang, so the officers and soldiers had to walk for a day. On the [-]rd, they arrived outside Chenjiazhuang, and then set up camp in a field five miles away from the village wall.

"Tanma reported that the commander of the officers and soldiers was very cautious and the camp was very tight. There was no opportunity to take advantage of it." A horse soldier Dutouhui reported.

Standing on the wall of the village, Chen Xun could clearly see the officers and soldiers' camp to the north.

The auxiliary troops in the rear were busy setting up camp, but the imperial troops in front were still able to maintain a strict and orderly formation.

This time the officers and soldiers were indeed coached to a certain level. At least they were able to remain calm even when they were "fighting alone".

It is a bit "arrogant" to say "fighting alone". So far, the strength of their officers and soldiers is four times that of our own.

"The enemy has come from afar, so we probably won't be able to fight tonight. Arrange shifts for duty, and everyone can rest when it's time." Chen Xun ordered.

The battle plan has been studied a lot, and there is no need to hold the guards officers to discuss anything, which is a waste of their energy.

After getting off the village wall, Chen Xun walked on the streets of Chenjiazhuang. The bustling and noisy streets in the past became deserted and deserted.

The gates of most of the courtyards are closed, and the people coming and going are either soldiers or middle-aged villagers who stay to help as auxiliary soldiers.

Other villagers were moved to Lantau Island.

Originally, with the upgrade of the Mongolian horse contract level and the successful development of artillery shells, there was no need to relocate the villagers.

But Chen Xun finally decided to move.

"Since ancient times, the petty bourgeoisie has always favored peace, and the proletarian revolution has been the most resolute." (Thanks to the annoying book friend for your opinion.)
The life of the people of Chenjiazhuang has always been too comfortable. Even if they struggle, it is only the part that is overseas.

This led to a large number of Zhuang people not agreeing with Chen Xun's actions and ideas of resolutely resisting the imperial court.

If Chen Xun hadn't gained a lot of prestige over the years, had the army firmly in his hands, and had hundreds of orphans who supported him unconditionally and blindly, his actions against the government during this period might not have won their support.

This kind of disapproval of the concept accounts for a particularly large proportion among the original Chenjiazhuang residents.

Because most of them have not experienced the war in Hebei and the people are in dire straits;
Most of them have never experienced the harsh living environment of overseas predators and dark forests;

Under Chen Xun's protection over the years, they have never experienced being exploited by the government or subordinate officials.

All this has made them forget that they live in a society where people eat people.

Moreover, this society will become even more cruel and inhumane in the next dozen or so decades.

Chen Xun has heard the former residents of Chenjiazhuang complain more than once, complaining about why he had to go through so much trouble.

Even his father had tried to persuade him in a subtle way on several occasions to endure and gain a new world.But as a time traveler, Chen Xun not only has a golden finger, but also has thousands of powerful weapons under his command. How can he endure it?

In the past ten years, for the development of Chenjiazhuang, it was enough to swallow his anger, but what did he get in exchange?In exchange for those greedy officials making an inch, finally attracted a hungry wolf, who wanted to swallow Chenjiazhuang in one bite.

Therefore, Chen Xun decided to move.

All the original residents of Chenjiazhuang were moved to Lantau Island, and the strong men who stayed in Chenjiazhuang as auxiliary soldiers were Han people from the north, villagers from Lantau Village, and Chen people who had traveled all over the country with him over the years.

Not only that, Chen Xun also told his second uncle Chen Lu to go to Lantau Island and assign the worst environment to those villagers who complained secretly.

Let them have a good time "remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet".

Let them know what the real living environment is like for people in this era.

Those small houses that are simply made of stones, adobe, and thatch must be repaired if they have withstood strong winds, otherwise the shabby houses that will leak will teach them to recognize the reality.

Chenjiazhuang is a paradise and an alluring peach.

The strong men in the outside world can't help but want to take a bite whenever they see it.

Walk all the way, think all the way.

Returning to the east courtyard (the courtyard of Chen Xun's parents), Chen Xun found that many guards and villagers had moved in. In response to their salutes, Chen Xun came to the room that his parents had always reserved for him. As soon as he opened the door, Saw an unexpected person.

This man was slightly thin, but he was very efficient at work, and he made the small bed in the outhouse in just a few breaths.

"Chen Qin, why are you here?" Chen Xun asked in surprise.

Keeping women away from war is a concept that Chen Xun wants to adhere to. At least when he is able to do it, he will choose to do so.

Therefore, the list of relocation this time included all the women and children in Chenjiazhuang, and Chen Qin was naturally also on the list.

"I kept it secretly by myself, with your consent." Chen Qin looked at Chen Xun, changing from the coldness she pretended to be a while ago, and her tone was a little warm.

"Why?" Chen Xun quickly regained his composure.

It is impossible to send a boat to send her away now, and there is no need for this. After the previous two battles, he now has the confidence to win.

"I want to be with you." Chen Qin replied in a low voice, twisting her hands in front of her belly, with a shy face, her head was almost lowered to her chest.

But looking at her airport-like figure, there is nothing but cuteness.

"Aren't you angry?" Chen Xun teased.

"Of course I'm angry, but being angry is angry. This is completely different from me wanting to stay and take care of you." Chen Qin raised her head, pouted, and looked at Chen Xun's menacing words.

"Okay, you continue to be angry." Chen Xun walked into the room and planned to lie down on the bed to rest. In the second half of the night, he planned to go out on patrol to avoid being attacked by the army commander at night: "I will sleep in the outer room tonight, and you will sleep in the inner room." .”

As he spoke, Chen Xun walked up to Chen Qin. Seeing that she wanted to refute, he interrupted directly:

"Now there are big soldiers in the yard. They may come in to report to me at any time. It is not appropriate for you to sleep outside."

"Okay then." Chen Qin reluctantly agreed.
