The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 246

After a few days of trekking, everyone came to Beishan County, Xiao Changying ordered the rest of the brothers to go to the county to arrange the affairs of the branch, and he took a few people to Hengshan with Lin Yifan.

Today's Shahu Village has changed a lot, and it is completely built according to the standards of a military fortress.And a giant fortress stationed by Zhang Qian was stuck on the main road into Hengshan, and military villages were built on other mountain roads to control all the main roads leading to Shazhou.

When Xiao Changying and the others arrived for the first time, they were immediately stunned by the sight in front of them.There were only vague figures on the fortress, and soldiers in black and blue military uniforms manipulated various mechanisms and crossbows, looking at themselves and the others with serious eyes.It made them feel that if they dared to make any changes, they would be shot immediately on the spot, and cold sweat broke out from everyone's foreheads.

At this time, a strong man next to Lin Yifan held a flag, rushed to the front of the fort, shouted a few words, and put a token in his hand into the hanging basket.Immediately after the hanging basket was brought up, there was only a loud bang of the door opening, and dozens of people rushed out.A young general at the head came to Lin Yifan with a joyful face, straightened his body, punched himself on the shoulder, and shouted loudly: "The last general, Zhang Qian, will meet the President!"

"The last general will see the President!" The accompanying soldiers also shouted with excitement.

Just when Xiao Changying and the others looked dazed, Lin Yifan smiled and bowed like them, saying, "Excuse me."

"Your Excellency, you are back." Zhang Qian showed a relieved smile, "The Prime Minister and his wife have reprimanded the general several times below, and reprimanded the subordinates for allowing the adults to enter Shazhou at risk. I'll take care of it. Fortunately, my lord came back without any surprises, otherwise I will die and die for my sins."

"Haha, I made you suffer." Lin Yifan patted his shoulder and said apologetically.

"Mr. Lin, who are you?" Xiao Changying had countless doubts in his heart, and looked at Lin Yifan with a look of surprise.

"Brother Xiao will not hide the matter until now. I am the supreme commander of the Hengshan Army, the president of the Hengshan faction." Lin Yifan smiled and looked at Xiao Changying. His eyes were full of arrogance after changing from his previous gentleness.

"You, so, you, you are." Xiao Changying's complexion changed drastically, and his originally unrestrained expression suddenly became stiff, and he quickly bowed and said: "The villain has seen the adults before, and I asked the adults to forgive me for being rude before." .”

"Oh, brother Xiao, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Lin Yifan couldn't help sighing slightly, "It's better for you and me to be as before, no need to be polite."

"Thank you for your love, my lord. I'm so grateful." Xiao Changying's eyes flashed with emotion, but his face showed a more respectful expression.

"Okay, then let's talk about it first in the castle." Lin Yifan had no choice but to ask everyone to go back first.

"Commander Zhang, I was too hasty when I came out earlier. Tell me first, how many soldiers and horses are stationed in this Shahu village, and how is the fortification done?" Lin Yifan glanced at Xiao Changying slightly, and asked casually.

"This?" Zhang Qian glanced at Xiao Changying and his party in embarrassment, and was about to shirk it. After all, these are military secrets, how can outsiders listen to them.At this time, seeing the adult suddenly beckoned to him secretly, he realized that the adult dared to let himself tell them. "My lord, now we have 5000 troops stationed in Shahu Village, of which 5000 are stationed in Shahu Castle, and the rest are distributed in various military villages. We have completely blocked all the passages from Hengshan to Shazhou to ensure that no one People can sneak in from under our noses. After several months of construction, all kinds of defensive equipment in Shahuzhai are now in place and all have been placed. Although we only have [-] people, if the enemy does not have tens of thousands, it will take a few days. We can't break through our defense within a short period of time, and we can completely resist the arrival of reinforcements from Heishui City."

"That's good, but you must maintain a state of combat readiness every day, and you must not relax in the slightest. Murong Jing of the Dingxi Army is an old fox, you must keep a high degree of vigilance against him, you know?" Lin Yifan nodded and instructed.

After finishing speaking, Lin Yifan turned his head to look at Xiao Changying, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Xiao, since you are here, follow me to see the military appearance of my Hengshan army, and see whether our Hengshan army is stronger or their Dingxi army is stronger. Please!"

Immediately, the two boarded the fort, looking down at the soldiers who were training below.After a long time, Xiao Changying's eyes showed excitement, "Advance and retreat are disciplined, behavior is lawful, thousands of people gathered together like one, magnificent! My lord, who created this method of training soldiers, you are truly a genius in the world."

Lin Yifan was secretly proud of himself when he heard the words, but he humbly shook his head and waved his hands and said, "Where is it, it's an honor."

"Could it be that this method of training soldiers was created by adults?" Xiao Changying was taken aback, and looked at Lin Yifan in disbelief.In his opinion, this Master Lin is full of elegance and knows how to train soldiers, but he didn't expect that people should not be judged by appearances.

"Of course." Lin Yifan nodded calmly, looked at Xiao Changying, and said solemnly, "Brother Xiao, the world is in chaos today. The prestige of the imperial court has declined, and the local tycoons have risen. In this troubled world, a man should show his ambitions and use them to create a better future." It is my duty to stabilize the world and save the people of Li. Lin is not talented, and he is willing to take this as his lifelong ambition. If Brother Xiao and I are comrades, why not join Hengshan and do our part for the world and the people together?"

"This?" Xiao Changying showed hesitation on his face. In his opinion, Hengshan is certainly good, but the righteousness of the court still exists and the hearts of the people are still there.Even if you want to show off your ambitions, you still have to stand on the winning side.If he threw himself into Hengshan at this time and succeeded in the Northern Expedition in the future, then he and his brothers would become rebels, and there would be no room for them in this world.

"It seems that Brother Xiao still has some concerns. How about this, you follow me to Hengshan to have a look, and after reading it, how are you making a decision?" Lin Yifan looked at him, as if he had seen through what he was thinking. He said thoughtfully, "When the time comes, whether you go or stay, I will not stop you."

"Thank you sir for your understanding." Xiao Changying looked at him gratefully, with complicated feelings in his heart.

The two stayed in Shahu Village for a day, then set off for Heishui City.

As the fundamental place for the rise of Hengshan, Heishui City is extremely perfect in terms of urban construction.On a small plain with a radius of no more than 10 miles, nearly [-] people gathered.If it weren't for Heishui City's focus on business and commerce, trying its best to attract people to work, I'm afraid it would have been bankrupted by the huge population.Today's Blackwater City, although not the largest city, can be said to be the number one in Hengshan in terms of population and economy.

Ever since Xiao Changying entered Heishui City, he was shocked by the prosperity here.In his opinion, although this Heishui City is not as prosperous as Dingxi City, it is far larger than any county in Shazhou.

Lin Yifan looked at Xiao Changying whose face was full of surprise, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, what do you think of my Black Water City?"

"Everything here is really unbelievable." Xiao Changying watched the slowly flowing crowd and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that there is such a huge city in Hengshan. Given time, I'm afraid it will not be inferior to ordinary county towns."

"Brother Xiao is overjoyed. Heishuicheng is limited by its terrain and resources. I'm afraid it can only reach its current level." Lin Yifan sighed slightly, then pointed at Heishuicheng vigorously, and said boldly, "I intend to build Heishuicheng It will become a commercial transit city connecting the northern grasslands and Shazhou, facing the promenade and ancient road. As long as we complete the development of the roads and waterways inside Hengshan, the distance from grassland to Xiazhou and then Hengshan to Shazhou will be shorter than that from Anzhou. The road will be shortened by more than half. At that time, Blackwater City will be our important business center in Hengshan, and it will also be an important source of income for us in Hengshan."

"If it is true as what your lord said, there must be endless Hengshan caravans on the long corridor and ancient road. Then, please take care of the business of our Flying Eagle Mercenary Group." Xiao Changying was amazed, looked at him, and joked road.

"That's natural. Brother Xiao, I have an idea and I want to talk to you about it." Lin Yifan rolled his eyes and thought of an idea, "Aren't you going to set up a mercenary branch in Beishan County? I think it's okay. The guarding of my caravan in Blackwater City is also included in the management scope of your branch. All caravans entering Shazhou from Blackwater City will hire mercenaries from your branch to protect them. At the same time, I hope you can attract some Western Regions Merchants come to our side to set up shops in Blackwater City to carry out trade. I wonder what brother Xiao wants?"

"Okay, this is a good thing. This move kills two birds with one stone, which is good for both of us." Xiao Changying agreed without hesitation, "I will report it to the General Assembly as soon as possible. I believe that this kind of good thing, everyone in the union will Agreed."

"Haha, that's it."

　He vomited blood, and the computer broke down again!
