When Yang Kaishan led Liu Ce to the warehouse where materials were hoarded, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the sacks piled up like a hill.

"It seems that the thieves have been getting rich lately!" Liu Ce licked his dry lips, looking at the white rice, bacon, pickle jar, oil, salt and other things in front of him, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Two homeless men carried a box and put it in an open space, after opening it, a burst of silver light suddenly came to their faces, and a silver bar in the shape of a trapezoidal ingots came into view, looking at this box of silver, there was a rapid breathing sound around him, when have I seen so much silver in my life. Liu Ce picked up a silver ingot and checked it with his hand, it weighed almost a catty, which was ten taels according to this world, and this box weighed nearly two hundred catties.

Liu Ce held the silver nugget in his hand, tried to keep his mind clear, raised his eyes to look at the surrounding homeless people who were panting and his eyes were straight, threw the silver nugget back into the box, covered the box and shook his head, and said, "These things are useless at the moment, first count the grain and carry it back." ”

Only then did everyone come to their senses, and it was right to think that the thieves were raging at the moment, and all the towns were occupied by the thieves, and they could not buy food with money, and it was indeed useless to ask for these silver money, so they scattered to carry the rest of the supplies.

"Brother Liu, come and see." Yang Youhuai ran to Liu Ce's side with a smile on his face, "There are a lot of fine iron over there, the best fine iron......

When Liu Ce heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly trotted over in the direction pointed by Yang Youhuai, and sure enough, he saw dozens of square-shaped pieces of fine iron lined up in a corner of the warehouse.

"Quickly call Lao Feng here......" Liu Ce touched the cold iron, his heart was very excited, he didn't expect that there was such an important thing in this thief stronghold. You must know that fine iron is an important strategic material in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is an important source for building excellent ironclad weapons.

After a while, Lao Feng, who was resting outside the warehouse, rushed in, squeezed through the crowd, and came to Liu Ce, who was also stunned by the scene in front of him......

"Finest iron." Feng Ying gently stroked these fine irons, as if caressing his own child, his face full of scars couldn't help twitching, he twitched with his fingers for a while, and then put his ears on the iron, and soon got up with a smile and said to Liu Ce: "It's all high-grade fine iron!" Liu Ce, can you pull them all back?"

Liu Ce didn't expect Feng Ying to be so fond of ironware, and it was not wrong to think about it, Feng Ying was born as a craftsman, and he has been dealing with these iron furnaces since he was a child, and he will definitely have a good impression of these fine irons. Liu Ce took a deep breath and said, "Old Feng, do I want to transport them back and ask you to come and see what?" I saw that there was a stove in the village that was always empty, and it should be used for iron, so I transported these pieces of iron back to the village first, and then went back to find some fuel, so as to arm the men and children in our village, and have more protection. ”

"Brother Liu, thank you." Lao Feng was very hurried, and his eyes looking at Liu Ce softened a lot.

"You can arrange for these fine irons to be handled by yourself, I won't just ask, and everything will be talked about when I go back to the village." Liu Ce didn't pay attention to it anymore, he knew that Lao Feng would handle it......

"Brother Liu, the inventory has come out, we are all old and coarse, and we don't know a few words, you can see if it's right, Xiao Yang, don't you hurry up and report the number to Brother Liu." Guo Tao's face was excited, the harvest of this battle was very unexpected, Yang Youhuai on the side also smiled from ear to ear, holding a piece of yellow paper in his hand, cleared his throat and began to report the harvest......

"Seven thousand six hundred and twenty-two stones of grain, including sweet potatoes and potatoes, five thousand four hundred and thirty-eight pounds of bacon, three hundred and thirty pounds of salt, twenty barrels of vegetable oil, one barrel weighs about seventy pounds, two hundred jars of pickled vegetables, seven hundred and thirty taels of gold, one thousand thousand taels of silver, three thousand one hundred pounds of fine iron, and fourteen horses, not counting your horse, the remaining weapons and armor are still being liquidated." After reporting this, Yang Youhuai laughed, Liu Ce and the other homeless people also laughed, this trip is worth it!

"Brother Liu, we can't ship so many things at once." At this moment, Yang Kaishan thought of a practical problem, that is, this seizure was extremely huge, and it was unrealistic to transport it away at once.

"Brother Yang is too worried." Liu Ce waved his hand and said, "If you can't transport it at one time, you can transport it in batches, let Lao Feng dismantle the wooden fence of the village and transform a few hand-pushed flat carts, transport a few carts back first, and ask someone to transport the rest back to the village!" ”

"What if a first-class thief strikes?" Yang Kaishan raised a very practical question.

"Rogue?" Liu Ce's eyes narrowed, "If there is really a large group of thieves nearby, those sharp soldiers will not die or retreat, so I am sure that there are no decent thieves within a hundred miles around, at least there will never be thieves with so many sharp soldiers today, Gaoyang is more than six hundred miles away, at least within a month, we can spend it safely and steadily, of course, this is a stronghold for thieves to hoard grain, and a small group of thieves will inevitably pass by, leaving a few people to deal with it." ”

After listening to Liu Ce, Yang Kaishan's heart relaxed, and he also joined the team to carry grain.

Due to the victory in the first battle, the surrounding homeless people showed great enthusiasm, and by noon, the open field in the camp was already full of dense items, and Feng Chounian's eyes straightened.

"Let's boil water and cook first!" Liu Ce saw that everyone was sweating profusely, and he also felt that he was hungry, so he opened his mouth and ordered to go down.

Everyone shouted, and immediately began to scoop who to cook, Liu Ce saw this and said Don't cook too hard, just thin it, after all, everyone has been hungry for a long time for fear that they will be strangled to death.

Soon there was a burst of aroma in the camp, and everyone ate thick rice porridge and pickled vegetables, and they each sighed that they could finally have a full meal after so long, but no one moved the bacon wrapped in oily paper, not that everyone didn't like to eat meat, just because they had just finished a battle, thinking about so many corpses inside and outside the camp, they didn't dare to touch it. And this is cheap Liu Ce was worried about the New Year, only to see Yang Fan and Sun Cheng each put a piece of cured meat on the top of the fire and tied it to the wooden frame that had just been built with a hook, and the flames running below kept smoking, and a drop of meat oil dripped, causing the fire below to beat for a while, and after a while, the aroma of roasted bacon spread throughout the camp, and a few homeless people who were drinking porridge smelled the aroma of meat, and hurriedly avoided it, as if it was not meat, but poison.

"Grind!" Feng Chounian saw that Yang Fan cut the bacon into small pieces one by one with the cleaned waist knife, stared at it anxiously, and saw that it was only half cut after a while, and directly took the remaining half whole and put it in his mouth and bit it, which attracted Feng Ying and Yang Kaishan's disdainful laughter, but then they immediately learned from Feng Chounian's appearance and took the leftover bacon cut by Sun Cheng and Chen Qing and gnawed it desperately......

Liu Ce put a small piece of bacon in the bowl into his mouth, it was a little hard and difficult to chew, and the bacon made at home in his previous life could not be compared, but in this troubled era, he could still eat ready-made pork and no longer had too much luxury, and he couldn't eat meat a few times in the barracks. Looking at Han Feng who was silently eating meat and drinking porridge on the other side, Liu Ce walked to his side, took out a fine step bow found from Hu Kui's tent and handed it to him, Han Feng put down the dishes and chopsticks, took the step bow, a trace of light flashed on his gloomy face, he pulled the bowstring hard, and then let go, the sound was crisp and powerful, nodded to Liu Ce imperceptibly, and then put the bow beside him and continued to eat. Liu Ce patted him on the shoulder and stood up, and suddenly saw that among the thieves and captives there were many ordinary people in ragged clothes, who were huddled aside and shivering, feeling at a loss about their unknown fate.

"What's going on?" Liu Ce pulled up Yang Kaishan suspiciously, pointed at those people and asked.

"They?" Yang Kaishan chewed bacon in his mouth and said vaguely, "They were all found in a tent in the army, it is said that the people nearby were looted here by the thieves for driving, and those girls were used to serve the bandit leader for lewd pleasure, and they were just busy counting the supplies and forgot about this stubble......"

After pondering for a while, Liu Ce said, "I have something to ask if I brought them here." After hearing this, Yang Kaishan stuffed the remaining small piece of meat in his hand into his mouth, kicked Yang Youhuai, who was sitting on the ground and was eating, with a mouth full of oil, and walked over together.

After a while, the group of people came to Liu Ce timidly in the scolding of Yang Kaishan's brothers, and before Liu Ce could speak, they all knelt on the ground, and an older old man spoke: "This good man, please spare us, let us go back......

These people didn't know what had happened to the camp before, only vaguely felt the chaos in the camp of the thieves screaming and scolding, and waited until they were found and brought out by the homeless people, and saw the corpses all over the ground and the thieves who were tied into zongzi, only to know that the camp had been captured, but the people who attacked the camp did not look like the official army, thinking that it was another group of thieves or bandits, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to speak out at the moment, and let the homeless people bring them and the thieves together, but did not bind them, just let them squat on the ground and wait for the ......

Seeing that there were only seven men among the dozens of people in front of him, and the rest were young women, Liu Ce couldn't help but understand a little in his heart, and muttered to himself, and then said to the old man: "Where are you from this old man?" ”

"The old man's surname is Gao, he is a person from Gaojiazhuang twenty miles away, the thieves ransacked our Zhuangzi a month ago, and more than a few thousand people in the village were all killed by the thieves, and now we are left with more than 70 mouths brought here by the thieves, okay, please let the heroes go back, we must give the heroes incense after we go back......" After speaking, the old man bowed down again, and the surrounding cries also bowed down.

Liu Ce looked at the prospect and couldn't help but feel sad, looking at the people who were eating for advice, only to see that the people who were eating had already put down the dishes and chopsticks and sighed.

"What do you say?" Liu Ce looked at Yang Kaishan and the others and asked.

"Look at what I'm doing, you can do it." Yang Kaishan took the lead in putting aside responsibility.

"It's miserable, you're in charge." With Yang Kaishan as an example, Chen Qing Guo Tao expressed his meaning faster than Yang Youhuai, and Yang Youhuai was so anxious that Yang Youhuai stared.

"You let Lao Tzu kill people, and Lao Tzu will go without saying a word and carrying an axe, but you ask Lao Tzu how to take care of this matter? Then you might as well give me a knife! Feng Chou Nian overbearingly rejected Liu Ce's gaze.

"You will be the second master, today you are the backbone of the main body, you can do whatever you say." Yang Fan Sun Cheng sighed and expressed his meaning.

Han Feng didn't say a word, Feng Ying saw Liu Ce's gaze, lowered his head and ate the meat in the bowl.

Liu Ce sighed, knowing that it was okay for the group of people in front of him to charge into battle, but it would be too difficult for him to expect them to share the situation in front of him, maybe Qin Mo would be here.

"Old man, you get up first, everyone don't kneel, get up." Liu Ce helped the tall old man up, "I can't let you go back now." ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and those girls were even more trembling, and even Yang Kaishan and the others behind them were stunned: What does this guy want to do? Do you have a crush on so many girls? It's not right, if that's the case, it's enough to leave one or two good-looking, isn't it for us to take it into account? No, this is not like this kid's style, let's take a look first.

Seeing that the goddesses were nervous and about to cry again, Liu Ce hurriedly said: "You misunderstood what I meant, I mean I let you go back now, where can you go?" What is the point of Zhuangzi being ruined by thieves and going back? ”

When the old man and the girls heard it, they also felt that it made sense, where can they go now? What's the point of going back when the home is gone? Thinking of this, Gao Laohan and the others were also at a loss, muttering to themselves: "This family is gone, why do you go back and do it......?"

"Old man, do you think this will work, you have nowhere to stay for the time being, even if I let you go, what should I do with so many girls in this chaos? Maybe it won't be long before I was killed by thieves and bandits, so it's better to go to our Zhuangzi to avoid it first, and everyone can take care of it, what do you think? Of course, if you have to leave, I will not be embarrassed, give you some rice and noodles, and send you out of the camp......" Liu Ce said what he thought was a more appropriate way to deal with it.

Gao Laohan fell into deep thought again, felt that what Liu Ce said made sense, and turned back to those girls for a long time and said, "What do you think? There is nowhere to go now, there are thieves and bandits everywhere, this good man is willing to take us in, or go to the hero's Zhuangzi to settle down before making a decision, what do you think? ”

"Listen to the old man, the slave family has been harmed by thieves, and it will be sad to go back......"

"Several of us have been defiled by thieves, and we are already unclean, even if the manor is alive, we will be poked in the back, and we will go back without shame......"

"Lao Tzu's family of six was all killed by thieves, and I still did a lot when I went back, and now I finally have a hero to avenge our thief, I will follow the hero!"

"Brother Zhou is right, how can I ...... when I go back?"

Everyone quickly reached an agreement, agreeing to go back to the village with Liu Ce to settle down first, Liu Ce was relieved to see that the matter was temporarily resolved, and turned around and was about to speak, when he saw that Yang Kaishan and the others looked at him and their eyes had become even more different from before.

"I said Liu Ce......" Sun Cheng had a playful expression, "I haven't found out that you have such a great ability for more than a year after we have been in one account." ”

"Yes, the training sergeant has a hand, and he also has a hand in dealing with the homeless people, I doubt that you are as famous as Qin Mo and them." Yang Fan agreed with Sun Cheng's words.

Chen Qing was not interested in Sun Cheng Yang Fan's words, and said: "Brother Liu is very capable!" I saw Houtu Fort at the beginning, and I have a great future with Brother Liu. ”

Guo Tao immediately nodded, glanced at Sun Cheng, and said, "Brother Chen is right, I, Guo Tao, agree." ”

"Alright, don't make fun of me." Liu Ce interrupted everyone, "This army is chaotic, no one is easy, since we are soldiers, we will do our part to ensure the peace of one party, if we abandon it, one day we will suffer, who will protect us?"

Yang Kaishan nodded silently, agreeing with Liu Ce's words very much in his heart, and then said, "What about those thieves?" Do you want to take a piece back to the village? ”

Liu Ce's eyes were cold: "Pull out of the camp and correct the Fa on the spot!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, especially those people were also staring round.

Yang Kaishan trembled and said, "All ...... Kill them all? None left?"

"What's the use of keeping all this waste? From the time they were thieves to the first people, they were no longer human! Bring them back to Zhuangzi, aren't you afraid that Zhuangzi will become the next group of thieves again? Don't say more, do as I tell you, I won't hurt everyone! Liu Ce waved his hand to stop Yang Kaishan from talking and stopping, "Go and ask the brothers if they are full, and when they are full, they will go and do things, and also, where did Huzi, the rabbit cub, go?" Give him a fast horse, hurry back to report the news, don't let Mr. Qin and them be in a hurry, and let him bring some people over to transport the grain back. ”
