When he arrived at Shuangyang Village, Hou San greeted him warmly, "Big brother, please come in." ”

Li Yun glanced at Hou San and quipped: "How is it, Hou San, is this Mountain King comfortable?" ”

When Hou San heard this, he immediately showed a bitter look on his face, "Alas! Don't mention it, this bandit is really not easy to pretend! ”

"Oh! Looks like you're quite resentful, huh? Li Yun asked suspiciously.

Then I saw Hou San immediately complain of bitterness, "Big brother, don't you know, when the Huwei army retreated, there were many idle people around the village, and I found out that it was actually the eyeliner sent by other cottages, if it wasn't for Wu De's assistance, I really couldn't be fooled." ”

Li Yun couldn't help frowning when he heard this, these cottages are really a big threat, the location of the Vermilion Bird Army is the eastern foot of Canglan Mountain, where there are relatively few merchants so there is not much of a bandit gang, which is also the reason why Li Yun chose to camp here in the first place. However, although there are no large-scale bandit gangs here, there are many small cottages. At present, all the personnel and materials of the Suzaku Army have to pass through Shuangyang Village, and no one will find out in the short term, but it is difficult to guarantee it after a long time.

Hou San thought for a while and then continued: "Big brother, those little cottages must be solved as soon as possible!" Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to hide our large-scale transfer of materials. ”

Li Yun nodded, thinking that only the shield of Shuangyang Village was still too weak, and a few more such smoke bombs must be placed, so he immediately ordered: "Let Wu De come over immediately." ”

"No!"

And Wu De came over soon after hearing the summons, and Wu De's life these days is not good or bad. Originally, he wanted to take in some old people from Shuangyang Village so as to increase his weight, but he didn't think that Situ Qingyun took all the captives away and didn't leave any of them, so his idea was suddenly frustrated. So although he is the nominal owner of Shuangyang Village, he is completely a bare-bones commander, and in fact, he can't even command a person.

However, because Hou San still needs him to deal with the temptations of other cottages, his life is quite comfortable.

"Your Excellency!"

Wu De immediately greeted respectfully after coming over.

I saw that Li Yun was not polite at all and asked directly: "What are the cottages near Wu De, and what are their respective strengths?" ”

Wu De didn't dare to hide his secrets and immediately said everything he knew, "If you go back to your lordship, there are a total of three cottages in this vicinity, namely Dadaozhai Doghead Mountain and Centipede Ridge, among which the strength of Dadaozhai is the strongest, and the owner of the village has the cultivation of the middle stage of the martial body realm, as for the other two cottage owners, they only have the strength of the late stage of the steel bone realm. ”

When Li Yun heard this, he couldn't help but think in his heart, after being in this world for so long, Li Yun was no longer the cultivator, and he also had a little understanding of martial arts. In this world, martial arts is divided into six realms, and every two realms are considered a watershed, the first two realms can only be regarded as beginners in martial arts, and the last two realms can be regarded as masters, but only the last two realms can be called top masters.

However, according to Situ Qingyun, there are still strong people who surpass the Six Realms, but that is not something that ordinary people can touch. And that mad knife has the strength of the late stage of the martial body realm, which is already comparable to Situ Qingyun, no wonder the strength is the best in Sizhai!

"What about the number of people?" Then Li Yun asked expressionlessly.

"There are about 600 people in Dadao Village, and the other two cottages also have 300 minions each."

Hearing this, Li Yun immediately smiled and looked relaxed, "It's okay!" We are short of miners, and this time we sent 1,200 people at once, which really solved my urgent need! ”

Seeing Li Yun's relaxed appearance, everyone couldn't help but relax, as if the three cottages were all made of mud.

Then Li Yun went to inspect the materials sent by Song Dacheng, these materials were mainly medicinal materials, cotton cloth, wine and meat, and the iron ingots that the Vermilion Bird Army lacked the most, and after the inspection, he specially instructed: "Hou San, you leave more wine and meat for the brothers, the brothers have really worked hard these days, but no matter how hard they work, they can't relax their vigilance!" ”

"Got it, big brother!"

"You guys don't want to move yet!"

"Okay!"

Hou San answered and immediately called someone to move the wine and meat, although these materials were transferred by Hou San, but he couldn't touch a drop of wine or meat. Because all the supplies had to be transported to the old camp and handed over to the logistics office, where they would be distributed in a unified manner.

Finally, after inspecting the Shuangyang Village, and telling Hou San not to be careless, Li Yun left, and today Li Yun is quite satisfied with both Yuehujian and Shuangyang Village. Although there are still deficiencies in some places, Li Yun will not be too extravagant if he can do so well under the existing conditions. So the first thing to do now is to solve the three cottages of Dadaozhai Doghead Mountain and Centipede Ridge as soon as possible.

In fact, Li Yun was also pretending to be relaxed just now, because he is now the head of an army, and his words and deeds will affect the morale of the army. So no matter how nervous you are, you have to show a confident look in front of your subordinates.

And the reason why Li Yun could easily win Shuangyang Village last time was mainly because he picked up a ready-made cheap, Shuangyang Village was first wiped out by the Huwei Army and its strength was greatly damaged, and Wu De contacted the old department to cooperate with the outside world, so Li Yun only used three squads to easily capture it. But the other three cottages are different, their strength has not been damaged for a long time, and they are in a dangerous place and have a large number of people, it is difficult to swallow them in one bite with the current strength of the Vermilion Bird Army.

However, although the Suzaku Army is not strong, it has a powerful ally, and Xiongshan and the others have been training for so long, so it is time to find a target to fight.

Song Dacheng in Qingping County, Song Dacheng was in the secret room to examine the information reported by the spies. Since receiving Li Yun's task of asking him to search for craftsmen and clever boys, Song Dacheng sent people to investigate the situation of craftsmen in Qingping County, and not only that, but he also sent people from other surrounding counties.

Because Song Dacheng's main task was to transport materials and personnel for the Suzaku Army, he had to act secretly and not attract attention, let alone attract the attention of the local government and Haoqiang. In this way, he must check the identity and background of those craftsmen, know who can and cannot be sent into the mountain, and avoid causing any trouble. Moreover, the craftsmen sent to the mountains will definitely not be able to return in the short term, but if a large number of craftsmen in one place disappear, it will definitely attract the attention of the government, so he can't always search for craftsmen in one place, and must expand the scope, and give those craftsmen who were sent away a reasonable excuse to disappear.

Ordinary craftsmen are okay, no one will pay attention to them, but those skilled old craftsmen are more troublesome, and it is quite difficult to arrange a reasonable reason for them to disappear.

However, it is relatively simple to recruit smart and clever young boys and girls, and there are poor families in the Qianyuan Empire who cannot afford to raise children, and the price of buying such a child is not expensive.

Therefore, Song Dacheng sent a number of groups of people to various places to recruit personnel, and the craftsmen were generally mainly coaxed, deceiving them that they had a long-term job, and giving them a generous settlement fee, most of the craftsmen were not suspicious, and they would generally agree to go, and a few who did not want to go were not reluctant.

But for some skilled old craftsmen, Song Dacheng will never let go, if the courtesy please do not move, then in the dead of night, someone will quietly take them away. Or take one of their loved ones, give them a mild-mannered letter, and finally let them go to a secret place for a reasonable reason.

In short, try to make them disappear unnoticed, so many counties near Qingping County, many skilled craftsmen have disappeared like this. They either returned to their hometowns to visit relatives or returned to their hometowns, without causing a ripple in the local area.

As for the smart and clever teenagers and girls, on the one hand, Song Dacheng sent people to poor homes to buy them, and on the other hand, they recruited them in the name of recruiting apprentices in the Chamber of Commerce. Because for many civilian families, entering the Chamber of Commerce as an apprentice is also a good way out.

Not only that, Song Dacheng also recruited many sturdy peasant children, because the Vermilion Bird Army not only needed soldiers, but also many workers in the factories in the mountains. However, if a large number of idle people gathered in one place, it would definitely attract the attention of the government, so Song Dacheng simply set up several farms outside Canglan Mountain, and recruited peasant children and displaced people in the name of cultivating wasteland.

At the same time, those craftsmen and teenagers who came to recruit were also secretly concentrated there, and after the concentration was completed, they were sent to Canglan Mountain.

"Hoo ......"

After reading all the information about those personnel, Song Dacheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, these personnel in his hands were all recruited by Song Dacheng in the past few days, and each of them was innocent and had nothing to do with the powerful and powerful. At the same time, everyone's homes have made proper arrangements to ensure that there are no accidents.

After sorting out all the information, Song Dacheng rang a bell in the secret room, and then a young man pushed the door and walked in.

"Shopkeeper."

After the young man came in, he came directly to Song Dacheng, and didn't even glance at the other furnishings in the secret room.

I saw Song Dacheng hand the list of personnel in his hand to the young man and ordered: "Lu Si, you give this list to Yang Feng, let Yang Feng act according to the plan!" ”

"No!"

Lu Si took the list and went out, and after Lu Si went out, Song Dacheng burned all the remaining materials. A moment later, Song Dacheng walked out of the secret room and became the shrewd and capable businessman again, and no one knew the other face of this businessman.

After receiving Song Dacheng's order, Yang Feng immediately sent someone back to Shuangyang Village, explained the situation to Hou San, and agreed on a time and place to prepare for the handover of personnel. However, there are many young men and women and young strong men who recruit craftsmen, so they must be fully prepared.
