…

On the city wall, the cool night breeze blew, Chen Deng looked at a sea of crimson fire not far away, his expression was unexpectedly calm, and he was dressed in white with the wind, and under the illumination of the "Kong Ming lantern" in the sky, he was plated with a layer of brilliant pale gold.

To his right are several scholars from various families with real talents and practical learning, mainly Mohists, Legalists, soldiers, and farmers. On the left are the backbone soldiers of the army.

A soldier on the side was overjoyed and said: "Chen Xiang defeated the enemy army and became famous in one battle!" I believe that in less than a month, it will be famous all over the world, and at that time, who in the world will not know you? The subordinates are here, congratulations to Chen Xiang first! ”

"Defeated? It's early! An army of 16,000 is not an easy one to defeat. Strategy, after all, is a trail. Iron striking also needs its own hardness, the Yellow State is weak and difficult to oppose, and if you want to change the law, it will inevitably hurt the interests of those scholars. Alas! Chen Dengyan sighed.

And a group of scholars on the right side of Chen Deng glanced at each other a few times, they were all scholars from various families with real talents and real learning, and they had been attracted by Chen Deng's talent and strategy at this moment, especially the soldier who could be described as fanatical.

After making eye contact with one of the Legalist scholars and several others, he came out and said, "Huang Hou promised that all the places destroyed were Chen Xiang's fiefs, so it was better to carry out reforms in Chen Xiang's fiefdoms first, and then expand to the entire Huang Kingdom.

If Chen Xiang has what he needs, we are willing to work for Chen Xiang's dogs and horses. ”

"We are willing to work for Chen Xiangxiao."

Those who are unwilling to be subservient, or who want to step on Chen Deng's position, have been thrown into cumbersome or noble positions by Chen Deng, and all of them here are selected by him in the past few days to be co-opted.

Seeing that these people understood what they meant and were willing to serve him, Chen Deng showed a smile and said: "Everything is for the sake of the king and the Huang Kingdom, then, in the future, I will have the assistance of all of you to confirm what we have learned, and this life will be in vain!"

"Confirm what you have learned, and this life will be in vain!" The sons said in unison.

grasped Jiang Qiu's psychology, guided him to camp at the West Gate, and then burned it with Kong Ming lamps, attracting the attention of the other three gates.

That's it?

No, it's far from over!

"I don't know if Brother Chen can complete your instructions."

"I believe in Qi'er."

Yes, Chen Qi left with a thousand people before the other party came.

So where did the 2,500 people in Luxiang County come from?

This has to start from Chen Deng's return from Huang County, because the story of his Limu letter spread to Lu Township, so after he issued an announcement to kill a hundred yuan, the people of Lu Township were also attracted.

The Huang State also obtained enough equipment through trade with the Han State, and in order to pretend to gather all the troops, Chen Deng agreed after thinking about it for a while, and when the enemy army observed it in a hanging basket, he did not notice anything unusual.

This is also common sense, limited by craftsmen and raw materials, those who can equip armor are at least ordinary soldiers, and individual small countries only have elite troops, and no one will equip ordinary militias with armor.

Because these militiamen don't care about the general situation of the country or their own lives, they will do everything possible to sell the armor, give it to their own families when they have money, and then run abroad.

Under Chen Deng's hands, there are naturally others, but the king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay the countryman, Chen Deng is willing to believe them, so most people don't want to live up to this trust, as for the individual, naturally because they are poor, they go back to steal.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing.

Stealing, partly because of greed and cheapness, lazy to eat, and more because of lack of money, forced, who will steal if you have money?

Those big people who are high up and above only know that they are full of untouchables, a thief, but they don't think why they want to steal, they only say that they are born thieves, and they are born to be inferior to them.

At this moment, in the enemy camp, General Tian found the disgraced Daliangzao, as soon as the two sides met, they were overjoyed and converging, Jiang Qiu took over the command, began to gather the remnants, and rushed out of the camp.

On the way, General Luo and others also joined the team with the remnants in embarrassment, after the remnants escaped from the camp, they were relieved, Jiang Qiu looked back and found that the army that escaped was only more than 5,000 people.

"Da Liangzao, what should we do now? The food was burned, and a lot of supplies were put in! Let's go to Jiaodong? ”

“…… Jiaodong? Jiang Qiu thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "Jiaodong was captured by the other party once, and it is too close, maybe there is some ambush, we will not go to Jiaodong." Go to the next secret! There, too, it's easier to resupply. We gathered the rout there, and we could gather about three or four thousand routs, and we still had the strength to fight again. ”

"Whoa!"

Jiang Qiu turned his head, took a deep look at Luxiang County, and resolutely left.

Compared to the apprehension when I came, when I returned, the morale was low, and no one wanted to scout the surroundings. Jiang Qiu didn't ask for it, at this moment, his prestige in the army also fell to the bottom, and he also knew that the other party had a total of 2,500 soldiers, and it was impossible for him to have troops to come to ambush.

The only thing that relieved his mood was this, right? could only watch him leave, but there were not enough troops to intercept and pursue.

…

The next day, early in the morning, Zhu Xia woke up in pajamas, lying on the bed, looking around in a daze, thinking about it for a long time, and then remembering that he was in the dormitory, as for the summer flowers and autumn leaves, he was sent away by himself because the weather was too hot, and he had been sleeping by himself for the past few days.

He was stunned for a while, and then shouted lazily: "Xiao Gui smash!"

Xiao Guizi outside the hall immediately heard it, and hurriedly took someone to wash and change clothes for Zhuxia, and the rejuvenated Zhuxia was in good spirits, and was just about to go to the Vertical Arch Palace, and was sent by Zhuxia to the messenger of Zhuge Jin to the Liaohe River to report.

After reading the letter, Zhu Xia smiled and said, "It's good to find it, let's save it for the time being, and at present, it is only for the sake of fierce fire oil." Liaohe Oilfield! ”

That's right, what Zhu Xia said is the Liaohe Oilfield in later generations, but in terms of the current environment, oil is really not much use except for being fierce fire oil, and there are not many open-pit oil fields, so they can only be stored first.

Zhu Xia sent a messenger, arrived at the vertical arch hall, and began to read, the income of Penglai City in the past few days, first of all, the exchange of Han Yuan, the total amount reached sixty-four gold, that is, six thousand four hundred Han Yuan, but the consumption was only two thousand seven hundred Han Yuan.

At the same time, there were merchants and people from the Yellow Kingdom, who were attracted to it.

Penglai City, whether it is the public security environment, but also the attitude of treating nobles and merchants equally, has won the favor of a large number of businessmen, as well as the convenience of the Han Yuan.

What's more, it's because the Han Kingdom behind the Penglai Chamber of Commerce has become a semi-public secret, mysterious, powerful, and encouraging industry and commerce, which is a fatal temptation for them.
