At the east gate of Yiyang City, the crowds of people coming and going stopped at the city gate, and there were several heads in turn in several wooden cages on the city gate, which were the heads of several village owners who led the troops to resist the official army, and these were the culprits who went down the mountain to attack the people before.

"The officers and soldiers are just powerful, and they chased these people out of the mountains." Some onlookers sighed, and many bystanders couldn't stop nodding.

"It's a pity that the owner of the village who walked a field or something, that is the mastermind," someone sighed, and this remark attracted everyone to inquire.

Most of them are the people of Yiyang County, knowing that the mountain barbarians went down the mountain to harass before, and knew that Wang Junshou led troops into the mountains to clear and suppress but returned defeated, and later Yuwen sent Yang Sima to lead the army into the mountains again for more than a month and finally returned victorious, thinking that the war would be so calm, but he did not expect to catch the culprit.

"What can I do? What if you pull people everywhere and gather other village owners in the mountains to go down the mountain to attack and disturb you? ”

"What are you afraid of, aren't there officials and soldiers?" Some people are more optimistic, "Yuwen envoy Jun will teach them a lesson." ”

Someone said that this thing was not right, he heard that the official army caught Tian Yunshan in the mountain, and some people echoed this statement, saying that when the official army broke through and killed the tiger village, they also caught some people on the mountain next to it, which is said to include Tian Yunshan, as for why this person's head is not on it, then I don't know what happened.

In any case, the mountain barbarian rebellion that gave Yiyang County a headache has been quelled, and now many village owners on the mountain are on the side of the government, even if Tian Yunshan is not dead, it will not be so fast to make a comeback in the future.

Anyway, the official army is very capable of fighting, and then go into the mountain to teach these village owners who don't know what to do, and want to come to the boundary of Yiyang County and be stable for a while, and you can rest assured that you can go up the mountain to chop firewood and collect medicine.

Zhang Ning led his entourage through the crowd of discussions, and walked out through the crowded city gate, because he had to be questioned when passing through the city gate and was not allowed to ride a horse, so he only rode the horse led by the entourage after walking out of the city gate.

He heard the discussion of the common people, as a businessman who was close to the state government, he knew what was right and what was wrong in this rumor, but it didn't matter, the mountain barbarians who came down the mountain to attack had been solved, and the smooth operation of the quarry was the most important thing.

And the labor that does not need to pay the salary is even more important.

In Zhang Ning's three quarries, the labor force has tripled, and the extra ones are people who don't need wages, they are the villagers of Heiwu Village and other villages, and they want to use labor to 'atone' for the evil deeds they have committed.

He led his entourage to the vicinity of the quarry, and there were more than ten horsemen on the official road heading towards Yiyang City, and the two sides took a look, Zhang Ning saw that it was an old acquaintance Wang Xingyi and said hello, and the other party was also full of spring breeze in return.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhang, when will you go to Xiyang? If you meet again in the Santai River, you really have to go to Wuwei Zhai to sit. ”

"The day after tomorrow, Zhang will go to Xiyang to do business, I wonder if Brother Wang has time?"

"The day after tomorrow, it just so happens that Wang is also going to Xiyang, so it will be set at Wuwei Zhai at noon, and this time Wang will treat you!"

This Wang Xingyi is the younger brother of the county guard Wang Zhi, and he is also one of the best charcoal kiln owners in Yiyang County, and there are several lumber yards, which can be described as a big business.

The lumber yard was suspended, the charcoal kiln was no longer burned, the county soldiers entered the mountains to quell the chaos and returned defeated, seeing that the transaction was about to end, Wang Xingyi was so anxious that he didn't know how much his hair had fallen, and Zhang Ning and others thought that this time it was going to be over.

As a result, the official army went into the mountains again to crusade, not only won a complete victory, but also 'brought' back a large number of people, some of whom were under the rule of the state government, and some of them were absorbed by the meritorious village owners, and many of the remaining people went to the lumber yard to 'wear guilt and make meritorious contributions', of course, the wages did not need to be considered.

With the addition of a group of cheap labor, the mining volume of quarries and lumberyards increased, and the output of lime kilns and charcoal kilns also increased significantly, while the sharp decline in costs brought about more and more money bags of the owners.

Thinking about the river embankment that is rumored to start construction next year, and the mountains that are still not deserted, the owners feel that the good days are getting longer and longer, and this is just the beginning......

In the mountains, a cottage is boiling in the sky, crying, scolding, pleading, and laughing are mixed together, and there are several places in the village that have been lit up with fire, on the door of the village, Tian Yilong is practicing drawing a bow, ignoring what happened in the village.

That bow is the 'relic' of Ran Song, the owner of Shihu Village, and the pulling force is at least three stones or more, which is not something that ordinary people can use, and Tian Yilong can only barely pull it away, but if you want to say that you can't do it, you can't do it, because the strength can't be maintained even for a few breaths.

The official army broke through and killed the tiger village before attacking Shihu Village, Ran Song was killed on the spot and the treasure bow became a trophy, because basically no one pulled it into chicken ribs, so it was 'picked up' by Tian Yilong, who likes to hunt, and used as a tool to practice arm strength.

There was a man who walked up to the wall, but it was the young man with almost one eyebrow, he was wearing a ring lock armor like Tian Yilong, and he was covered with a smock, and there was a hole in the left chest of the smock.

"What, you were shot?" Tian Yilong asked, he shook his head with a wry smile when he saw Yizimei, and asked if this ring lock armor was good or not, Yizimei nodded helplessly:

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, but if you get hit by an arrow from this bow, it's over."

"A good bow must also be accompanied by a good arrow, and if this bow is used with the wrong arrow, it may not be able to shoot through the ring lock armor." Tian Yilong said with a smile, seeing Yizi's disapproving look, he pulled out a few arrows from the quiver to explain.

However, the focus of the eyebrow is not on the arrow/arrowhead, but on the arrow feathers that are seen first: "This is chicken feathers?" Do you make arrow feathers out of chicken feathers? ”

Without waiting for Tian Yilong to explain, Yizimei shook his head and pulled out the arrow he used: "Look, my arrows don't even use goose feathers, you used to use at least goose feather arrows, why do you use chicken feather arrows now?" ”

Regarding this problem, Tian Yilong's explanation is that the amount is too large, and the official army will use more than 10,000 arrows in a battle, where to find so many harriers to pluck their feathers, even goose feathers are nervous.

He said that when the two armies faced each other in the field, and the army formation marched from the opposite to the engagement, one archer would shoot five or six arrows, and if the cavalry rushed but barely three arrows, it would be possible to calculate how many arrows two thousand archers would shoot in a battle.

"Uh, how many?" Yizimei asked, the arrows in the village are mainly used for hunting and guarding the village, and the number he has come into contact with is not much, and now when it comes to thousands, his fingers can't be used.

"Six thousand, if you attack the city or defend the city, use more, although you can pick up the arrows shot by the enemy, but the arrows that should be prepared when you go out on the expedition are not less, last year and the Chen army fought a lot of battles, the arsenal has prepared hundreds of thousands of arrows, do not use chicken feathers and duck feathers to make arrow feathers, what do you let the ordnance supervisor do?"

"How many arrows do you have to use up for hundreds of thousands? How many chickens and ducks do you have to kill? Seeing this, Tian Yilong smiled and said that there are many chicken farms in his clan, and many chicken farms and duck farms are thousands of chickens, which are not comparable to dozens of small households.

"You, if you have time to go out to see the world, go to the state to govern and go around, and now Xiyang City has changed a lot."

Yizimei listened to Tian Yilong talk about "seeing the world" and came to the spirit, he asked if what the Yuwen envoy of the government said counted, Tian Yilong asked when the government said that it didn't count, if it didn't count, the ring lock armor on your body would have been taken back long ago.

"No, the old ghost in Tian Yunshan has obviously been caught by me, and then Yang Sima led it to behead, why does the government keep saying that this guy is not dead?" Yizimei asked.

Tian Yilong said that whether Tian Yunshan dies or not is secondary, the key is that Yuwen envoy Jun must continue to do things in the mountains, and this is just the beginning, just like the current stockade, they always need a reason to attack the village, and "harboring the culprit Tian Yunshan" is a good reason.

"Is this just the beginning? In other words, the city outside Yiyang City is going to be open forever? Yizimei asked, this is a problem he has been concerned about, Tian Yilong said that this is nature, Yuwen envoy Jun said that he wants to make a fortune with the people in the mountains.

After the people in Tianyunshan were pacified, Yiyang County opened a new 'city' on the edge of the mountain, and let them 'buy shares' to do business.

It is the so-called 'franchise' of all kinds of mountain goods, the government allows them to buy salt and an appropriate amount of ironware, and daily necessities such as cloth and clothing are also openly supplied.

But this is still a small head, and the big business is still an alternative kind of goods: people, the owners of Yiyang County and Biancheng County need a large number of manpower to go to the lumber yard, quarry, and all kinds of mines and kilns to do labor, and the price is as good as there is to receive as much as possible.

Therefore, the arrest of Tian Yunshan, who was "wandering around with bad intentions", became a legitimate reason for the government to make a big move in the mountains, of course, the official army had already retreated, except for a few important villages, the rest of the villages were taken over by the 'volunteers' who assisted in the arrest of Tian Yunshan.

Although there is no trace of Tian Yunshan after breaking the village every time, the 'volunteers' are not discouraged, and they are not afraid of hardships and dangers to arrest Tian Yunshan.

According to eyewitnesses, Tian Yunshan had already fled from Daqi Mountain and ran towards the Dabie Mountain Range, so the villagers and the owners who were anxious for justice and justice worked tirelessly to organize 'volunteers' to chase after them all the way.

Today, this village is suspected of harboring Tian Yunshan, and the 'volunteers' came to the door to 'persuade each other with good words' to let the other party hand over the culprit.

In the corner of the village, many soldiers came, all contented, carrying the spoils of war on their shoulders: women in disheveled clothes. Many others were tied together with ropes, and under the reprimand of the soldiers with weapons in their hands, they walked out of the village in despair.

"If the officers and soldiers are not there, they won't care about this kind of thing, but they can't go out of the mountain, take care of your subordinates." Tian Yilong looked at the scenes in the village and said, "According to the agreement, the people who give the state government can't be broken hands and feet, or wilt a few times, don't use your brains, Yuwen Envoy Jun is not a fool." ”

"Don't worry, whoever dares to go against the government now is looking for death, and everyone is still counting on exchanging people for salt." Yizimei nodded, "By next year, I am afraid that there will be many mothers-in-law who will give birth to babies in the village, and there will be not enough stable mothers." ”

"Just remember not to do this kind of thing outside the mountains." Tian Yilong told him again, he knew what Yu Wenwen's bottom line was.

"I know, many people in the village are singles who can't marry their mothers-in-law, and they won't be able to marry their mothers-in-law when they get enough." Yizimei replied solemnly, "When will Tian Yunshan die?" ”

"Who knows, this is just the beginning." ……

On the official road, Yu Wenwen left the border of Hengzhou under the escort of dozens of cavalry and entered the territory of Bazhou, he ended his 'visit' to Nanding Prefecture and Hengzhou, and fully exchanged views with the two assassins, and reached an agreement on the issue of Daqi Mountain and Dabie Mountain:

The culprit Tian Yunshan must be caught, so the volunteers must turn over the mountain!

Nandingzhou is at the northwest foot of Daqi Mountain, and is surrounded by the Dabie Mountains; Hengzhou is located at the western foot of Daqi Mountain, adjacent to Nandingzhou in the northeast; Bazhou is located at the southern foot of Mt. Osaki, and all three states border Mt. Osaki.

In addition to his father, who was a big company, Yu Wenwen theoretically had superiors, so he personally went to Huangzhou to report to General Manager Deng on the use of troops against Daqi Mountain, and on the way back, he also communicated with his colleagues in Nandingzhou and Hengzhou, after all, Bazhou's actions against Shanban had to obtain the 'understanding' of the other two states.

Of course, the mountain barbarians are not worthy of Yuwen Wenwen's big fight, now is not the past, the mountain barbarians are already a piece of scattered sand, and they can't sweep the Jiangbei states like before, so Yuwen Wenwen's drunkard is not in wine, but in Hengzhou.

In the morning, he visited Zhou Fashang, the assassin of Hengzhou, to study the current 'international situation' and formulate a series of operational guidelines.

The two countries of Zhou and Sui have now tacitly truce, for Yuwenwen, the battle on the northern front of the Shannan Zhou army has ended, and the war on the southern front can begin, and the armistice order issued to him by his father last year is no longer necessary to be obeyed, and he wants to happily brush up on the copy of Chen Guo with his friends!

On the other side of the river, Chen Guoyingzhou is in the same spring planting as Jiangbei, if the battle goes well, the other party can still harvest the same grain this year, and then he can catch many strong prisoners, and then work hard to make Yingzhou become a big burden of Chen Guo, and find an opportunity to pick this ripe fruit.

The official road in the distance was dusty, and a large group of men and horses were approaching with several carriages, and the cavalry who opened the road on the other side was about to step forward to scold Qingdao, when he saw the big word 'Yuwen' on the banner here, he instantly lost his arrogance.

"It turned out to be Yuwen Envoy, please give way." At present, one person bowed his hand, and several people behind him generally looked embarrassed, "I was ordered to escort the convoy to Huangzhou, and please forgive me." ”

Bazhou is the territory of Xiao Yuwen's envoy, and the reputation of this 'Yuwen Evil Wolf' is well known to everyone, and everyone avoids it, and no one dares to provoke it.

Yu Wenwen glanced at the carriages that were slowly coming behind him, and motioned for his entourage to give way to the side of the road with him, the field on the side of the official road was quite flat, so it was not a bump in riding a horse on it.

He is not a brain-dead second generation, and he doesn't plan to have unnecessary domineering behavior, after all, acting in front of people also depends on the occasion, the most important thing is that he is in a good mood today, so it doesn't matter who lets whom, just park outside the zebra crossing and let the old woman pass first.

The convoy passed slowly, and Yu Wenwen could hear someone in the cavalry talking with a northland accent, and looked at the distant convoy thoughtfully, and he wondered in his heart: "The northland accent is from the east, could it be a court envoy?" (To be continued.) )
