It was the conversation about the simple difference between "hey" and "chopsticks" that made the chopsticks, who should have been in danger of the safety of thousands of people, meet again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The chopsticks grew taller, but they were still the same, so the chopsticks recognized at a glance that this was the uncle who gave them wool felt boots, and they were very happy.

"Uncle, can I go to the army after I finish my studies? I want to go to war with you. ”

The child looked at him, but he still shook his head and said, "Whether you can follow me to fight or not, it's not up to me to decide." ”

He can't make any promises, even if he is a general, but the personal guards around him can only be arranged from above, and it is strictly forbidden to keep private soldiers and even more strictly prohibit himself from appointing personal guards.

"Why?" The child was puzzled.

"It's the rule." The simplest reason was used, and the child did not ask more, feeling that this reason was indeed difficult to refute.

The two of them chatted for a long time, and then they dispersed, each with their own things to do, and Xinhua City was a model for the entire Xia Kingdom to conquer the rest of the cities in the future, so many new things had to be tried here.

After that meeting, Chopsticks went to the school and began to learn simple enlightenment characters, and the next meeting between the two was in the summer of the following year, that is, the thirty-ninth year.

The people of the construction department came to Xinhua City from Yucheng, and took advantage of the summer to build two rammed earth fortresses outside the city, and built a complete earthen wall along the hillside, preparing to improve the defense system of Xinhua City.

This kind of work can be exchanged for copper coins, which can buy iron tools instead of renting, and can also buy many other things, and the purchase price of grain is very low, so most people with less land choose to work here.

It is said that children are not used, and they can't get money when they come, but they saw chopsticks and a group of children, and obviously chopsticks have become the head of children in the school.

From afar, I heard chopsticks talking to the children, "Although we are small, we can still move a few stones." This wall is built, and those who want to take us back as slaves will not be able to get in......"

Hearing that it was funny, he walked over and scolded him, and asked, "Why don't you go to the academy?" The taxes you pay are not for you to fool around, go and go, you don't have a pickaxe high, what are you messing around here? ”

Chopsticks grinned and said, "Today is off, and our husband is gone." ”

"Then you can practice writing and arithmetic by yourself, can you do it? Besides, in addition to learning to read and write, don't you also have to practice holding spears in formation? ”

"I already know a lot of words, and the new textbook hasn't been handed out yet."

"How much do you recognize, how much does everyone recognize? Now you don't need to do this, if you really want to contribute to Xia Guo, you might as well teach your friends to recognize more words. How many do you know? ”

After a few more reprimands, the group of children was blown away, and the adults next to them laughed.

Although he scolded and laughed, he felt that everything this child did was very good to his taste, because his name was His, and this child was angry for being fed, and this was a man who had come back from the despair of being a slave.

This kind of person has his own understanding of the world, and has the love and hate that some people seem ridiculous.

Soon after, he heard the name of the chopsticks again.

Cotton peaches are picked in July, this is a trial planting of cotton, only some are planted in the public land, and once it rains, it may be destroyed, so it is necessary to pick some of it as soon as possible.

Chopsticks help pick cotton peaches after school, every evening never stops, children catch up with the mid-day break, and they can't pick much a day, but they do it well, probably because they used to be slaves and now become people, he believes in his heart that everything he does is for Xia Guo, which made him from a slave to a human.

Picking cotton peaches at the same time has not fallen to study, the assessment is also the best of the same group of children's middle school, just in time for someone in Yucheng to come here to inspect, the chopsticks at a young age won a bronze labor medal that many people do not have, for a time it was a beautiful talk.

Many people believe that the child's fate will take a turn for the worse, so they ask Chopsticks what they want to do in the future. Chopsticks said to go to war, and if they can be admitted to the education class after the war, they will teach in Xinhua City, so that more children can read and write.

This answer made him sigh for a long time, so after another year, Yucheng issued an order, asking Xinhuacheng to prepare a group of children with excellent quality, who can simply read and write, count, identify with Xia Guo, perform well and speak some simple Dongyi dialect, and it is best to go to Yucheng to study, and when Yu immediately recommended chopsticks.

Therefore, chopsticks went to Yucheng in the 40th year of the Chinese calendar and experienced special learning, mainly propaganda and agitation, incitement of hatred and the like.

When Chopsticks was studying in Yucheng, he led people to build many huts along the small road of trade with the nearby Dongyi, which stored grain, with the aim of luring the Dongyi people from nearby cities to flee to Xinhuacheng.

Prior to this, with Xinhua City as the center, there were warehouses trading with Xinhua City in the surrounding Dongyi Castle, and all kinds of goods except weapons were sold.

The purpose of this kind of warehouse cannot be pure, most of them are to support some people who are dissatisfied with the leader and have the desire to replace them, and at the same time let them send their children to Xinhua City to receive a new education, and by the way, provide weapons, farm tools, small workshops and other technologies, so that these people can expand their strength.

By the way, the people in these warehouses also secretly encouraged the slaves to flee, and made up the words that they would be free if they fled to Xinhua City.

Therefore, forty years before the Chinese calendar, a large number of slaves had fled to Xinhua City, but the road was difficult and not large-scale.

Therefore, after obtaining permission from above, he and the others used the power of Xinhua City to build various huts for slave escapes, and at the same time there were riders patrolling.

By the time these huts and paths were repaired, the escape of slaves became a scale at once.

This kind of storehouse for the purpose of subverting the original regime secretly developed in five or six nearby cities, and finally aroused the discontent of some leaders, and the beginning of the signs of such discontent began to appear in the autumn of the forty-first year of the Chinese calendar.

At the beginning of 41 years, a regular army of more than 700 people entered Xinhua City.

At this time, the Xia Kingdom was already stable, money, food, and soldiers had been accumulated enough, and the first batch of formally trained young soldiers had also completed their training.

Enough servants, officials, farm implements, seeds...... All of this is enough to support more people to turn into wealth.

Everything was gone, but there was only one excuse missing, so the warehouse was no longer as cautious as Xia Guo was when he was at his weakest, but had become unscrupulous since he got the news in the spring of forty-one years.

In the autumn, the leaders of some cities began to expel the goods of the Xia Kingdom, which could be regarded as a gift out of the country, after all, there was an aggressive Xinhua City not far away, and no one dared to go too far.

I thought that it would be okay to drive away Xia Guo's warehouse and close the door and fight, but for the group of soldiers in Xinhua City, they couldn't wait.

So in the autumn of forty-one years, in September, more than forty slaves fled, and when they fled to the first hut, they were overtaken by those who followed.

According to the previous agreement between the two parties, the south of the hut is the land of Xinhua City, and the north has nothing to do with Xinhua City, and there will be no entanglement in trade between them.

However, as more than forty slaves fled, they were knocked down with arrows by the pursuers behind them, who were pressured to cross the hut.

But before the man passed, the arrows came, and the riders, who had been looking for an opportunity, quickly dispersed the group of pursuers, killed a dozen of them, and captured the rest.

Perhaps for the people of Xia County and Yucheng, the forty-first year of Huali is still a stable day, and they have the impression that the real war will be later.

But for the people in Xinhua City, after forty-one years, it was no longer a day of stability, because these high-ranking officials in Xinhua City knew what they were going to do, and they would get rid of the nearby cities before the dome could get involved.

Either move everyone away or burn it, and defend Xinhua City to ensure that the army of Qiongxi cannot get supplies from nearby. Before the internal settlement of the Great River Tribes, he didn't fight with Qiongxi, but just defended it, stuck Qiongxi and didn't allow him to get involved.

There is no point in co-opting those nearby cities, and once the Qiongxi army comes, it may not be reliable to take refuge in the Firmament to provide food. Even if it is reliable, it will be surrounded when the time comes, and if you don't go to the rescue, you will lose your credibility, and the loss of the rescue field battle will be too great, so you will take the initiative to provoke an incident and solve the nearby cities.

Without him, Xia Guo has grown up and can fight.
