It's just a mess, but Yang Xi still has a way.

Liu Xiang doesn't die, and it doesn't matter if most of the others die.

Thinking of this, Yang Xi looked around, it hadn't rained for several days, and there was a lot of dry firewood underneath. Yang Xi led the department, hurried slowly, and finally arrived at a hillside not far from the depression within a few minutes.

Yang Xi asked everyone to search for flammable firewood and grass, and ordered people to light a fire, but there was no match at this time, but it was necessary to use a wooden strip soaked in sulfur, rub it on an iron sheet, and light animal hair to make a fire.

Lighting a fire in the mountains is also very dangerous, but Yang Xi can't care about it so much. You put water in the middle, and I set fire to it behind the mountain, anyway, now in the spring, everything is revived, and after it burns, it will grow again. Besides, at this time, the forest coverage rate is 90 percent, and burning one or two mountains will not cause any reaction.

At this time, the team had already entered about halfway, and Liu Xiang and the others were preparing to move forward, but they found that the opposite mountain was on fire, and Liu Xiang was puzzled.

"Could it be that the thieves are attacking with fire here?"

Liu Xiang hurriedly gave the order to stop advancing.

Yang Xi had expected that as long as he was on fire, he would definitely not move forward over there. But this is not the result he wants, simply amplify the fire and burn all the mountains here, so that at least the thieves on the mountains on their own side have no intention of fighting, whether they are burned to death or not, they can always make a big mess.

Sure enough, screams rang out in the mountains, and someone was shouting, "Oh no, no, no!" We've been tricked, and the county soldiers are attacking with fire, run! ”

More than 100 people set fires, and a small hillside was covered in less than a minute.

I only heard the screams of the hillside mountain one after another, rushing to run.

Jian Yan on the new dam frowned and said: "I can't imagine that this Jiangxia, and such ruthless people, use so many bait to break my water attack plan, but the price for you is too great." Don't wait, burst the embankment and release the water! ”

Jian Lance shouted: "Release the water!" "Dozens of people, in the weak part of the dam, began to burst the embankment, and a gap appeared, and the water flowed down from the reservoir above.

Dozens of people hurriedly retreated, but they went to the other side of the fire and made a detour to block the large army of county soldiers.

The water flow of the new dam was originally not large, but as the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill, and once a small stream of water begins to flow, it will immediately cause a major collapse, and a huge flow of water will begin to rush straight down.

Liu Xiang looked at the sound in the distance, and suddenly felt shocked in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "The rear team is the front team, retreat quickly!" ”

But at this time, it was too late, the mountain depression was half filled in only half a moment, and the two or three hundred people in front had been flooded, but fortunately, there were many rivers in Jiangxia, and most of these people were watery, but dozens of people were also killed.

The water above was getting bigger and bigger, and Liu Xiang felt cold in his heart, and then he realized that he was afraid that he was going to fall short.

At this critical juncture, on the slopes on both sides of the rear team, two more teams rushed out, led by two ironclad generals, one made a black lance, and the other made a silver spear, and the two rushed all the way to kill.

When the county lieutenant Liu Tao saw these two people killing the county soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables, he was immediately flawed, took the reins of the horse, raised the halberd and ran over, and shouted loudly: "The thief is rampant, eat my halberd in Haoyang Liu Tao!" ”

But it turned out that this Liu Tao was Liu Xiang's younger brother, and both of them were from Haoyang (from Lingling, Yongzhou, Hunan).

The thief general Jian Lance saw that a general came on horseback, and regardless of the inferiority of his infantry, he rushed with a long lance, and the two fought for twenty times without winning or losing.

The eunuch Xiao Zhongzi was only afraid that the urine was scared out at the moment, and he didn't want to leave on a horse, and he was afraid if he didn't go, and the shouts of the struggling county soldiers in the valley behind scared him half to death.

Yang Xi set fire here, but did not go up the mountain, only led the men and horses of the headquarters, and also bypassed the foot of the mountain, and rushed down the slope of the mountain where the thieves had just rushed down.

Yang Xi lifted the big knife, was infected by this atmosphere, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, don't panic! Yang Xi of Exian County burned most of the thieves, these are all remnants, kill them, and everyone will be saved. ”

Yang Xi didn't shout without purpose, one was that he really wanted to kill, and the other was to let Liu Xiang and others hear it, it was my brother who set the fire, everyone heard it, and it was my brother who saved you.

When Liu Xiang and the others heard the prestige, they saw a general on the hillside carrying a ring hand knife, and cut it when they saw a thief, but there was no enemy, and more than ten people were cut down in a blink of an eye.

Yang Xi now turns on the prediction function, and if his physical functions and combat skills are under him, there is almost no possibility of survival. Unless the opponent's physical function is above 85 and can be crushed head-on, he is almost undefeated.

Seeing that a person rushed out from behind the other party was so fierce, Jian Yan immediately abandoned the county soldiers and rushed towards Yang Xi.

The two fought to the death on the hillside with a knife and a shot, and after thirty rounds, they were even deadlocked.

Although there were many soldiers in the county, they were tired before, and they were frightened by the opponent's water, and they did not have an advantage in the battle, and the battle situation was so anxious.

Yang Xi investigated the person in front of him and found that his physical function was only 82, but his fighting instinct was not bad, although he was now 75 in physical fitness, and there was no way to win.

The water level in the valley continues to rise, and it is estimated that it will not be long before even this mountain road of battle will be affected, and it is estimated that everyone will be washed away by then.

Liu Xiang also saw this, and was a little anxious in his heart, but saw that the thieves began to slowly retreat to the hillside. Jian Yan also shook Yang Xi's shot, pulled out the gun and left, not in love with war.

Yang Xi didn't chase him either, this person had no life-and-death enmity with him, even if he was caught by dragging, there would be no benefit. What's more, if these bandits are really gone, what else do you want him to do, it is estimated that Liu Xiang can fix himself as much as he wants. The key eunuch has suppressed the thieves, and it is estimated that he will take himself to Luoyang for a business.

No one saw it, and before leaving, Jian Yan dropped a sentence and said, "Thank you!" I hope that the next time we meet, we can fight with you with all our might! ”

Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, the other party felt that he intended to release the water, it seems that no one is a fool, this person's brain development has reached 11%, and it is estimated that this plan to flood the county soldiers is set by this person.

The Yellow Turban thieves left behind almost 200 corpses and retreated into the mountains. On the side of the county soldiers, six or seven hundred people were killed and wounded, and the result of this battle was obvious.

There were also more than a dozen wounded people on Yang Xi's side, but fortunately, they joined the battle late, so they could be disinfected and bandaged with alcohol.

Liu Tao, the county lieutenant, counted the number of people and passed Yang Xi to answer.

This time, Liu Xiang is much closer to Yang Xi, this young general, his strength is not under Liu Tao, if he can take it for his own use, he is definitely a right-hand man. And this person is so young, only sixteen years old, there is still a lot of room for growth.

"Chenhe, I heard that you are from Exian County, you have many wonderful ideas, and you have created a foundation with this, and now this county is the time to employ people, why don't you give up your foundation and come to this county to listen to the tune?" Figuring out the origin of Yang Xi, Liu Xiang changed the name of his speech, and called Yang Xi's words to show appreciation.

Yang Xi pretended not to know and said: "Lord Yu Junshou, the ambition of the kid is not to be an official, and the risk of marching and fighting is too great. However, if it is a major event like the suppression of thieves that benefits the country and the people, as long as the county guard uses the place where the kid is used, the kid will be defined! Yang Xi's latter words were impassioned, making the other county soldiers feel that this son was really a hot-blooded young man, but they didn't know that these words were tantamount to a euphemistic rejection of the olive branch given by Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he was not entangled, anyway, this son was within his jurisdiction, and sooner or later he would have to return to his account.

"In this case, after this return, the county will reward you for your meritorious deeds, and when you are ready next time, the county will summon you over again and swear to wipe out the remaining Yellow Turban thieves in the county."

Yang Xi thanked him and returned to the headquarters.

A vigorous anti-thief activity was carried out, with 2,000 county soldiers mobilized, more than 600 killed and 300 wounded.

Back in Xiling, Liu Xiang rewarded Yang Xi with a good war horse, a spear, and a whole body of meteorite stainless steel, which can be regarded as a lot of money.

However, Yang Xi can use this thing temporarily.

Yang Xi went back to Exian alone, and it was only a few days before he went to the county seat to see Roland for the first time.

Roland reported good news to Yang Xi, and there were two small landlords in Dongqixiang who joined Yang Xi's Chamber of Commerce, but they were landlords named Du Shan and Zhao Dajiang, whose strength was originally similar to that of the Luo family. Because it is adjacent to the Luo family, it is more familiar, and now that Luo Lan has become the county magistrate, both of them have made a decision.

Yang Xi gave Du Shan and Zhao Dajiang the names of the two vice presidents, in this way, if these two families want to take the road of business, they can also enjoy internal policies, these two people naturally feel very surprised.

Yang Xi calculated, if the strength of Roland, Du Shan, and Zhao Dajiang were all included, the number of Chenhe Chamber of Commerce would exceed four thousand, and if the family was small, there would be six thousand.

However, it is impossible for the family to join the Chenhe factory, after all, some free farmers have their own fields, and these people's fields have to be cultivated, and they can't do it without labor.

As a benefit, Yang Xi gave these employees half the price of farm tools and promoted the quyuan plow and threshing machine. There are even some people who have been in the Chenhe factory for a long time, and they have saved enough money to make keel waterwheels.

Once there is a keel waterwheel, the dry field has also become a paddy field, which has greatly promoted the development of agriculture in Exian County.

Xiling County Shoufu, Liu Xiang was looking at the book carefully, but it was Yang Xi's Chenhe dictionary, and there were two open books of basic mathematics and physics next to it. His son Liu Ba was also reading these books next to him.

"Zichu! Tell me about it! ”

"Father! According to the child's point of view, this Yang Chenhe is a little strange. "Liu Ba is a noble person.

"Oh? Just bizarre? If these books are fine, think about what he did. A few days ago, if it weren't for this Yang Chenhe, his father would have returned to the west today, and it is estimated that there would be very few of the two thousand sons and daughters in this county. ”

Hearing his father say this, Liu Ba was taken aback, what is going on?
