Lin Xu was about to walk down, but suddenly saw a lot of people walking in the distance.

From a distance, these men did not look like sergeants, but more like peasants.

But they are clearly coming for themselves.

Seeing a group of people coming over, the soldiers around Lin Xu were also nervous at this time, although they were not afraid of these unarmed Qin people, but seeing the large number of people who were coming, they couldn't help but clench the stick and axe in their hands.

"It's okay, put down your weapons."

After seeing that many of the people who came over were acquaintances of himself, Lin Xu said to the soldiers on the side.

Those soldiers looked at the translator beside Lin Xu, and after listening to him relay Lin Xu's words, although they were still hesitating, they still put down the weapons in their hands one after another.

Those people saw that the Rong people beside Lin Xu had put down their weapons and were no longer on guard, and the team that had been stopped slowly walked forward again.

"Lord Lin, make the decision for us."

At this time, in the team that was less than ten steps in front of Lin Xu, one of them cried loudly and knelt in front of Lin Xu.

Seeing this, Lin Xu hurriedly ran forward and wanted to help the man up, but saw countless cries in the crowd.

Without waiting for Lin Xu to speak, the black crowd knelt down in front of Lin Xu, Lin Xu raised his head and looked at the kneeling crowd, but there was no end in sight for a while.

The earth-shattering cry lasted for a long, long time, and the words of "Lord Lin is the master" mixed with the cry continued to pierce Lin Xu's heart like an iron needle.

Lin Xu didn't speak, because he didn't know what to say or what he could do.

For him, the original intention of taking over the county was only to help the people rebuild their houses as soon as possible, so that they would not starve to death or freeze to death. But other than that, he didn't know what else he could do.

Just as Lin Xu looked at the people kneeling down the street and didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard one of those people raise his head and shout:

"Lord Lin, I want to join the army, I want revenge."

"I'm going to join the army too."

"Lord Lin, my woman was ruined by those beasts, and she also found a short time, please accept me and let me take revenge."

"Lord Lin, I'm the only one left in my family, give me weapons and let me kill those beasts."

"My old wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson who are still in infancy have all been burned to death, although the little old man can't go into battle, but he can still cook, chop wood and lead horses, take us in."

One voice after another came to Lin Xu's ears, and the young "county order" suddenly understood the meaning of these people, and he looked up again at the sky without the sun, and the snow falling from the sky was like flying paper money, rolling up and down in the whining north wind.

It's been snowing for seven days.

This winter seems to have a lot of snow, and since the beginning of winter, snow has been falling from the sky for several days almost every few days.

If it were an ordinary year, next spring would definitely be a suitable year for sowing, but for the ragged people in front of Lin Xu, such a climate was more like an invitation from hell to them.

Lin Xu's gaze gradually returned to the countless people in front of him from the sky, and he could hear the shouts of these people getting louder and louder.

Those who beat their chests and even cried out have completely lost their minds, and have vented the countless pains that have happened to them these days.

This sad scene in Luoshui County also made the Rong soldiers behind the "county order" feel sad for no reason, they looked at Lin Xu in front of them, waiting for his instructions.

Sure enough, they saw Lin Xu in front of them suddenly give birth to a trembling arm towards the sky, and that arm seemed to hold up the heavens and the earth, making the howling crowd gradually quiet down.

"Fellow villagers, Lin Xu is incompetent and did not take care of everyone, so that you were ravaged by war and slaughtered by the Qin army.

Just now, I was still wondering, I was also a Qin person, and when I was a child, I was told that only the Xuanwu Banner was loyal to my life.

But a few days ago, the Qin army burned down my house and killed my neighbors, and I was still thinking that maybe this was just the work of a small group of soldiers who did not have the king's law, and not all the soldiers of Great Qin were like this.

But at this moment, Lin Xu has already figured it out, this day, it has been dark for too long, even if the snow stops tomorrow, as long as the thick dark clouds are still there, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, there will be snow at any time to freeze us to death.

I've heard that there is a fish in the North Underworld, and it's called Kun. Kun is big, thousands of miles. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, thousands of miles also. It flies like a rage, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

Once, we were all just small fish, timid and cowardly, and we didn't know how long we would live.

But today, I will lead you to be the Peng bird, flap my wings with you, blow away the dark clouds, and return to Lang Lang Qiankun, the splendid sun and moon. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xu tore off the official hat on his head and threw it heavily to the ground.

In the following days, a large battalion rose up in the south of Luoshui County, and under the instruction of Zhezhe, the Luoshui defenders moved nearly half of the grain and grass of the entire army here.

Outside the camp, the people who joined the army crowded the camp gate.

Most of these people are old and weak women and children who seem to be powerless, while the young and strong people are not even half.

However, all those who can appear outside the camp are all people who have a deep hatred of blood, and from today onwards, they will hand over their lives to Lin Xu without reservation.

And that's just the beginning.

Not to mention that Zhezhe didn't expect it, I'm afraid even Lin Xu himself didn't expect that the world-famous strong army "Kunpeng" was born.

For more than two months after that, Lin Xu trained these people in the army every day, and these people were like crazy, tirelessly running, stabbing, and rushing.

At the same time, Zhezhe and Fang Yuanheng's soldiers and horses fought many times north of Ningdao, but according to Xiao Jinxing's instructions, each time Zhezhe only sent a small group of soldiers and horses to harass him constantly, and did not fight with him.

After repairing for many days, Xiao Jinxing's cavalry once again went west from Yuanshan, taking advantage of the speed of the cavalry to constantly follow and pursue the Qin army's grain transportation teams and small groups of soldiers and horses in Ningdao, Zichuan, and Haiwu counties.

The past two months or so seem to be almost the same as the strategy used by Fang Yuanheng when he was stationed in Haolu County, but both Xiao Jinxing and Fang Yuanheng know that there is actually a world of difference between the former and the latter.

Before, even though Fang Yuanheng had a small number of soldiers, every time he clashed with the Rong soldiers, most of the time it was the Qin army who took the initiative.

And no matter whether it is a big battle or a small battle, it ended in the victory of the Qin army, although under the stubborn resistance of the Rong people, the Qin army did not win well strategically, but after all, Fang Yuanheng could not be defeated even once.

And in the past two months of fighting, even if Fang Yuanheng's number of soldiers and horses is more than that of the Rong army, it is often the Qin army that can't be parried first, part of the reason is that the Qin army is mixed with some local recruits from Xiazhong County, and the combat effectiveness is far less than that of the Rong people, and part of the reason is from Fang Yuanheng's soldiers and horses, because those people have killed and looted the people of the three counties, they have already developed a fear of the enemy and fear of death in their thoughts, and once these emotions are formed, they will spread to the whole army like poison.

The once ace iron army of Great Qin is now a ruffian, a man of no faith or righteousness, where will they still have the generous determination to die that they once had.

In fact, none of these things were unexpected by Xiao Jinxing, but what Xiao Jinxing didn't expect the most was that the army named "Kunpeng" in Luoshui County, which was originally only for the purpose of collecting refugees and facilitating management, had grown to 50,000 under the leadership of Lin Xu, who had some ability and character!

This matter was indeed unexpected by Xiao Jinxing, not to mention that he was a Rong alien, even the Qin State would not dare to recruit 50,000 troops in his three counties.

In a letter to himself, Zhezhe described Lin Xu and his army in detail.

In the first month, the Kunpeng army only collected less than 20,000 people from Luoshui County and its vicinity, although this was enough to make Zhezhe and others look sideways, but if you think about it carefully, after the Qin army encountered in Luoshui County was burned and killed, it was normal for 20,000 orphans and widows to be left behind. So he didn't take it seriously, but sent some more grain and grass to supply Lin Xu's "army".

Who knew that from the second month, people from Tianyu and Artemisia Lu, two counties that also encountered military disasters, came south one after another, and joined Lin Xu's army in the hope of joining the army to take revenge.

After Zhezhe agreed to Lin Xu to take them in in in the same way as Luoshui County, in a month's time, the Kunpeng army had increased to 60,000 people.

Zhezhe was not happy about the transitional expansion of the Kunpeng army, because it was precisely the more miserable the people in the three counties, the more people would think of joining the army to take revenge.

What's more, compared with those who dare to come to join the army, the number of people waiting to die in the three counties will only be more.

How tragic, at this time, the only words that Zhezhe could think of, the three county towns that originally had a population of nearly 100,000 each, I am afraid that after this winter, they will become three empty cities.

After discussing with Lin Xu, Lin Xu sent 10,000 of the 60,000 people, including yellow-haired children, elderly people, women waiting to give birth, and those who were seriously injured, out of the camp and arranged for them to be in Luoshui County.

When the 10,000 people left the camp a few days ago, hundreds of fierce people killed themselves outside Lin Xu's camp to show their dissatisfaction, which made Lin Xu have to kneel in front of the camp and promise the people who left the camp that if they did not avenge them, they would fall into hell forever and never be reincarnated. This has reduced the number of people who commit suicide a lot.

After the clean-up, the 50,000 people of the Kunpeng army officially accepted the drill of the Great Xia army.

And Shan Yu also ordered that Lin Xu be the deputy general of Qin Lan, commanding the 50,000 soldiers of the Kunpeng Army, and temporarily under the management of Zhezhe.

At the beginning of March 590 in the Great Zhou calendar, the ice and snow in the north of Daqin had already melted, and the peach blossoms began to bloom everywhere. But whether it is Qinlan County, Ling or Yuan Erzhou, there are no farmers busy in the fields.

Because, whether it is Qin Lan or Lingzhou, everyone can see that the sky is full of battle clouds, and a big war is coming.
