Su Yi returned to Taohuazhai, first asked people to settle down the people brought back from Wuyuan County, and then collected the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry seized all the way into the warehouse, and handed over the sundries used to make bows and arrows to Qin Yu and others.

There are also several bow-making craftsmen in Peach Blossom Village, but Qin Yu is now not just a blacksmith in the cottage, the carpenters, stonemasons and blacksmiths in Peach Blossom Village are all under his control, and he will dispatch them, which naturally includes armor makers and bow makers.

Su Yi brought back a lot of silver this time, enough to support the military expenses of Taohuazhai for two years, some time ago to open up the southern barren forest, Taohuazhai spent a lot of silver, and now these seized gold, silver and jewelry are in storage, just to make up for the lack of funds. Of course, the expenses of Peach Blossom Village in the future are absolutely indispensable, whether it is to strengthen the city fortifications, or to repair weapons and armor, it will cost a lot of money.

After returning to Peach Blossom Village, Su Yi looked around at the people who stayed in the cottage, and found that Zhang Hongsheng looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Su Yi waved his hand and glanced at Liu Shisan and Meng Hai, these two are the backbone of the cottage, but it is a pity that the two of them have bad intentions, especially Meng Hai, this person is extremely ambitious and capable, there are many people in the entire Peach Blossom Village who are stronger than him in martial arts, but there are not many people who are more capable than him.

Compared with playing tricks and tricks, looking at the entire cottage, there is only one person in Fang Jing who can be with Meng Hai for a long time. These two people are both thoughtful people, and they are both from rogue backgrounds, there are too many similarities between each other, if it comes to martial arts, it is natural that Fang Jing is slightly superior, Meng Hai has laid down a lot of cottages for Taohua Village, and has made great achievements, and during the time that Su Yi left, Meng Hai took a team of bandits to cross the South Wilderness Forest, attacked the Yongji Canal at the end of the South Wilderness Forest, and took advantage of the night to wash one of the small Hu villages.

It was Su Yi's intention to take Yongji Canal at the beginning. But after he made this suggestion, the first to support him were Scar and Meng Hai. And it was Meng Hai who proposed to start with the southern barren forest first, and then slowly map the Yongji Canal.

In addition, Meng Hai also proposed that Su Yi go south to Chifeng Ridge, which is rich in iron ore and copper ore, and it is in excellent condition. Not many people know about this news.

Su Yi naturally agrees with Meng Hai's ability, although this person is scheming, he is indeed a practical material, especially in his view of winning Yongji Canal, which is almost the same as Su Yi. It's just that this person is extremely ambitious, and Su Yi is a little worried that he can't control him, but fortunately, he captured Fang Jing before.

Fang Jing's ability is not worse than Meng Hai, maybe a little inferior, but the difference is not too much. Fang Jing is different from Meng Hai, he has outstanding ability, but he has no ambition, and he has to get by when he is a rogue in the vertical and horizontal mountain range, although he has gathered a group of rogues, he has never thought of occupying the mountain as the king, and it is precisely because of this that he will be arranged by Su Yi to restrain Meng Hai.

Su Yi looked at Meng Hai and Liu Shisan. Seeing that the two of them looked as usual, it was expected that the recent problems in Peach Blossom Village should not be on these two people. Then he slowly spoke: "Say, what happened to the cottage during my absence?" ”

Zhang Hongsheng glanced at Meng Hai, coughed lightly and said: "Some time ago, Meng Tou led people to cross the Southern Wilderness Forest, disguised himself as Hu Shang, and took advantage of the night to wash a Hu village in blood. Originally, the bloodied Hu village was forgotten. But somehow, the news spread, and as a result, the Hu people on the other side of the South Barren Forest were furious, and now they are preparing to gather troops and fight through the South Barren Forest......"

"What about the fortifications of the Southern Heath? Is it well built? Su Yi frowned. He didn't expect that the Hu people of Yongji Canal would make a move on the Southern Barren Forest first, judging from the current form of Youzhou, these Hu people should not take the initiative to cause trouble, they are making trouble with the Han people in Youzhou, and Yongji Canal has cut off contact with Dongyang County, without Liu Yu's support, no matter how brave these Hu people are, they can't stand the Han people.

Zhang Hongsheng replied: "The fortifications of the Southern Barren Forest have been repaired and completed, and I specially asked He Yuan to bring five thousand archers to assist the brothers of the South Barren Forest in defending against the Hu people of the Yongji Canal, but it is just ......."

"Just what?" Su Yi waved his hand and said with some displeasure: "If you have something to say, you don't need to spit it out." ”

Zhang Hongsheng took a deep breath and hurriedly said: "He Kui faction does not receive the news back at night, several Hu tribes in Yongji Canal have formed an alliance, and the conflict between Hu and Han in Youzhou has intensified recently, and those Hu people in Yongji Canal have to abandon their previous suspicions and unite together. ”

Su Yi nodded and said: "This is also expected, the current contradiction between the Hu and Han people is intensifying, and the Hu people of Yongji Canal will no longer unite, I am afraid that they will not be able to occupy Yongji Canal safely." ”

The Hu people of Yongjiqu come from different tribes, including Xianbei and Wuhuan people, and even Xiongnu, Tungus, and Guiman and Qishannu. These Hu tribes are constantly fighting with each other, they are a barbaric race, and it is common for them to meet each other with swords for the fertile land of many Yongji Canals.

It's just that after the outbreak of the Red Clothes Rebellion, these Hu people pretended to get Liu Yu's support in the name of counterinsurgency, so as to wantonly plunder many Han villages, and even frequently slaughtered villages, and finally provoked the anger of the people, and the local Han people attacked it, which once intensified the contradictions between the Hu people and the Han people, and some Han people could not bear the wanton behavior of these Hu people, so they turned to the Wudou Mi Sect and helped the Wudou Mi Sect successfully occupy the hinterland of Youzhou.

These Hu people are also typical pig teammates, and they have cheated Liu Yu, an unreliable ally.

Zhang Hongsheng said: "It's true, it's just that I didn't collect it at night and sent back a news that these Hu people have already contacted Shangrao County......"

"Shangrao County?" Su Yi was taken aback, and suddenly asked, "Isn't Hu City in Youzhou just in Shangrao County?" ”

Zhang Hongsheng smiled bitterly and said: "Hu City is located in Shangrao County, where there is a snake head named Yuwentai, this person is a Xianbei person, and he is the most powerful Hu person in Youzhou. ”

"Yuwentai ......" Su Yi suddenly laughed, and said coldly: "That's right, then Yuwentai sent someone to attack us before, and at this time, the new and old accounts were settled together!" Hongsheng, you go and call Zhou Fei and Zhang Huan in. ”

Zhang Hongsheng hurriedly said: "Lord, this Hu people under the command of Yuwentai are brave and good at fighting, you must not underestimate it." ”

Su Yi said: "Don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter, thinking that I can attack the Southern Wasteland Forest if I am close to Yuwentai?" Those Hu people in Yongjiqu are too naïve. ”

Zhang Hongsheng glanced at Meng Hai when he left, and stopped talking a little. Su Yi saw it in his eyes and suddenly asked, "What's the matter?" (To be continued.) )
