Liu Ji and Bai Jinxiu happened to see this scene when they entered Guanjiatun, the bodies of the people who were slaughtered everywhere, the dead heads, and many houses that were still burning and emitting black smoke, all clearly told them what was going on here.

Liu Ji's face was solemn and silent. Rao is the first time he has seen this kind of human tragedy when he has traveled the world all these years.

Not to mention the two women, although Bai Jinxiu herself has killed people, but she has killed all the wicked, and seeing so many innocent people being slaughtered at this moment, she is also full of grief and indignation, her face is pale, and her body trembles slightly.

The little girl Xiaowen covered her mouth in horror, holding the young lady's hand tightly, tears swirling in her eyes, and they would fall at any time.

These horrific scenes were too cruel for her.

Further on, the excited and angry cries of the crowd reached their ears.

Looking at the tall back standing on the high place of a ruin, with a flaming red cloak flying in the wind behind him, Bai Jinxiu suddenly felt that he was gradually separated from the image of the frivolous disciple in his mind.

At this moment, this back seems to have a special charm on it, which makes it impossible to take your eyes off him.

Which one is the real him? Is it the disciple who speaks disrespectfully to himself, or the Zhengzheng man in front of him who fights bloodily and is determined to protect all people?

Bai Jinxiu was also in a trance for a while.

Hao Jian faced the excited crowd, his heart was moved, but more he felt a heavy responsibility.

Since he swore today and promised to shelter more people, he must do what he says, otherwise he will waste the trust and gratitude of so many people, and he will also waste himself to come to this world.

"Folks, the Tartars have killed our relatives and friends, and this blood debt must be paid with blood. Since everyone trusts me Hao Jian so much, I will definitely not disappoint everyone. But for now, let's let the deceased villagers settle down first. “

Waiting for the mood of the crowd to calm down a little, Hao Jian said solemnly.

……

On the hill behind Guanjiatun, a new low mound has been erected, in which sleep the people who were killed by the Tartars this morning.

In front of each grave, there are people crying and paying respects, and the flying paper money flutters with the wind, covering the entire mountain.

Hao Jian took Liu Ji and a few of them to stand aside and stood silent, everyone's faces were solemn and solemn.

In this atmosphere, no one has the heart to speak.

Guan Hu was on a pair of crutches, and slowly knelt down in front of the old lady's grave with the support of his wife and daughter, staring at the narrow tombstone on that side, bean-sized tears poured out, and the wife and daughter on the side were already in tears.

Hao Jian came to Guan Hu's grave, poured a glass of the wine used as a country earthen burn, bowed three times, and then slowly sprinkled the wine in front of the grave, and then came to Guan Hu and patted him on the shoulder to express comfort, and then walked towards the other graves.

He swept the graves of all the deceased, and then took Liu Ji and others down the mountain silently, and came to a clearing at the foot of the mountain, where all the cavalry were waiting.

The three light cavalry who died in the confrontation with the Tartars were also buried at the foot of this mountain by Hao Jian, they have no unknown surnames, no origin, only Hao Jian knows where they came from.

Their tombstone has two words written on it: "Brothers", and in Hao Jian's heart, they are not only his own soldiers, but also his own brothers.

There is no doubt that everyone who died for his ideals was his brother.

Everyone who despises the lives of others will eventually be abandoned by others.

Taking the wine from Ran Wu's hand, he bowed slowly, then sprinkled the wine in front of the grave, and said softly and solemnly: "Brothers, you are here for my ideals, and I will not let you sacrifice in vain after all, and you will not let you down after all." Fill this cup! ”

After saying that, he sprinkled two more glasses of wine, and then straightened up.

Only Hao Jian understood what he meant, and everyone else seemed to understand, but no one spoke.

Ran Wu and Liu Ji all stepped forward to pay respects, and even Bai Jinxiu also took the little girl Xiaowen to pay respects, which made Hao Jian a little surprised.

"I didn't expect the white girl to have this intention? It's a rarity. When the group walked down slowly, Hao Jian smiled and said to Bai Jinxiu, who was walking next to him.

"Hmph, don't think that only you, General Hao, are compassionate and pity the people, and others are not hard-hearted." Bai Jinxiu glanced at him and retorted.

"Good." Hao Jian smiled, didn't continue to argue with her, beckoned to Liu Ji on the side, and took Liu Ji to the side.

Hao Jian's sudden seriousness made Bai Jinxiu, who was used to arguing with him in the past two days, suddenly feel a little unaccustomed, and looked at his back for a while.

"Strategist, the gourd valley must be taken as soon as possible." Hao Jian got straight to the point.

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and understood what he meant: "Do you want to bring these people together?" ”

"Their homes have been burned down by the Tartars, and even if they are rebuilt, they don't know when they will be poisoned by the Tartars. The Tartars have suffered a loss at our hands this time, and we don't know when we will get revenge back, so we must have a place to settle down as soon as possible, so taking the gourd valley is a top priority. Hao Jian nodded and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, this matter must start with Hai Dongqing first. It's better to talk to this guy first, it's best to let him write a handwritten letter, and then send someone to Hulu Valley with his tokens and letters. If we can successfully persuade the rest of the bandits, of course, it is best, if not, we can also be regarded as throwing stones to ask for directions, and there are other strategies to seize the gourd valley. ”

Liu Ji said after a deep sigh.

"Okay, without further ado, you go to Hai Dongqing now, this matter is not too late." Hao Jian nodded in agreement.

Liu Ji arched his hand and turned away.

He came back a moment later, holding a letter and an emerald wrench, apparently a token taken from Hai Dongqing.

Hao Jian took the letter and scanned it, shook his head and said, "This kid is not honest, and his words are unknown, military advisor, can you imitate other people's handwriting?" ”

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I understand this a little." ”

"Well, you can imitate this guy's handwriting, and say that they will prepare 200,000 taels of silver to redeem people, otherwise they will tear up the ticket. Don't talk about persuasion and the like. Hao Jian said.

Why is that? Aren't you going to take the gourd valley? Just want to get rich? Liu Ji was a little incomprehensible.

"I said military advisor, you are smart and confused for a while, if we directly persuade them to surrender and let them give up the gourd valley, won't that mean that they will be cut off? These people have been bandits for many years, and once they have no nest, there is nowhere to go. Therefore, others will definitely not agree to this thing of stealing people's nests, and it is likely to be self-defeating, so that these thieves will be tough with us. ”

Hao Jian nodded Liu Ji with a smile.

"It's still the general who is thoughtful, if we only use the money as a condition, not only can we test Hai Dongqing's prestige among the thieves, but also will not arouse their strong resistance, and we will lose their vigilance, so even if they don't agree, we will have a place to turn around." Liu Ji said "suddenly", with an expression on his face.

But Hao Jian caught the smile that flashed in the corner of this guy's eyes, pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "I said that you scholars have a lot of fancy intestines, you have thought of it tomorrow morning, but you have to say it from my mouth to prove that I, an adult, am wise and wise, and I am really an old fritter." ”

Liu Ji was told by Hao Jian, and he didn't refute it with a smile, obviously acquiescing.

Looking at Liu Ji's appearance, Hao Jian felt that he was still too young, and the city government was not enough.

Liu Ji turned around to write a letter, and Hao Jian also began to seriously think about how to bring these people in Guan Jiatun over.

But after thinking about it, it finally landed on the gourd valley.

As long as the Hulu Valley is taken, all the people of Heiniu Mountain and the people of Guanjiatun can be settled, and only then can it be regarded as officially having a base that can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

Can the gourd valley be successfully won? Hao Jian didn't know either.

But the methods are all thought up by people, and a small bandit can't be taken down, how can they conquer the city and dominate the world in the future?

If the persuasion of Hai Dongqing's letters and tokens does not work this time, then what should be done?

While Hao Jian was thinking about it, the strange voice of the system sounded in his head:

"Because the lord carried out a rescue operation on the civilians, the lord is rewarded with 1000 honor points. In addition, the lord turned on the 'Power of Faith' in the course of this operation, so the system officially unlocked the temple function for the lord, from which he could train monks and warriors full of faith. “

After listening to this, Hao Jian was stunned at first, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.

He knew that the function of this temple must be the monastery in the original system, but because of the problem of the real background, it was changed to a temple, so that Hao Jian had a better sense of substitution.

I remember that when he was short of money when he was playing games, he would train a large number of monks from the monastery to defend against the invasion of computers, and even a large number of violent monks would attack the enemy's castle and drown the enemy's lords with crowd tactics.

Although the combat effectiveness of these monks is medium and not too strong, the biggest advantage is that they are cheap, and their mobility is not weak.

Each Monk only needs 1 gold to do it, but it costs 25 Honor points.

However, it is still worth it compared to their high cost performance.

Unexpectedly, he was worried about the lack of troops if he wanted to storm the gourd valley, so the system unlocked the temple function for him, and rewarded him with a thousand honor points.

Isn't his current situation just that he has more honor and less money? Just in time, the monk soldiers will come in handy.

After figuring this out, Hao Jian's confidence in capturing the gourd valley suddenly became much more sufficient.
