Chapter Seventy-Three: 'Harvesting' the Crops?
Lu Chen talked a lot to these people, most of which were some concepts from his previous life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After successfully brainwashing these people, Lu Chen re-formed them.
Lu Chen first counted the number of people, there were still six hundred and twenty people in total, and Lu Chen organized them into three teams. Fortunately, there are still many captains left, otherwise, these more than 600 people would have to re-elect captains, so that each team has a squad leader and two deputy captains, most of whom are the previous captains.
As for Long Yan, he was appointed as the presidential leader and was in charge of these three squads. At the same time, the name of the army was also changed by Lu Chen to 'Holy City City Guard', and after this reform, deep down in the hearts of these people, they have gradually diluted their identity as Tang Dynasty soldiers. At the same time, the identity of the Holy City Guards was deepening in their minds.
Under this subtle influence, these soldiers will eventually only obey Lu Chen's orders.
After arranging all this, Lu Chen found Long Yan and asked with some confusion, "Why did you want to stay at that time?" Under Lin Yuan's men, you should be promoted soon! ”
Long Yan is a descendant of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy, and his entry into Lin Yuan's army was definitely arranged by the Jiannan Jiedu envoy. This kind of person will generally be promoted in a few years, and they enter the army just to have this experience and be easy to talk about when they are promoted in the future. What's more, this Longyan looks like a qualified general. However, with such a smooth career, he actually chose to give up!
Long Yan glanced at Lu Chen, and then smiled faintly, "To be honest, at first I was very disgusted with you, and I even felt that it was a shame to let a gentleman from the capital dominate me!" However, in the more than a month that I have been in contact with you, whether it is strength or various abilities, every time you make a move, the more I know you, the more I feel your mystery. I believe that in the future, you will never be able to return to the ordinary! I feel like I'm following you, I can't be wrong! ”
After speaking, Long Yan's eyes looked at Lu Chen with a burning eye, as if what was in front of him was a rare treasure, these words made Lu Chen's old face red, and he coughed lightly, "Actually, sometimes I just come up with some tricks."
Although after these people left, Lu Chen seemed to be in no hurry on the surface. But he vaguely felt that something big might happen in this Xinjiang, and as for the time of the event, it should be in the last ten days.
Now the perimeter defense system of the Holy City has been built, although it is empty, only some simple houses, not even the city lord's mansion. But Lu Chen didn't have time to do this, he had been training these more than 600 people these days, and at the same time, he had recruited more than 180 people from various tribes. With enough eight hundred people, Lu Chen asked Long Yan to disperse the three squads to various parts of the city. In the event of an attack, they were able to quickly defend the small city without leaving any dead ends.
After doing this, Lu Chen was still a little uneasy, and let people add another layer of adobe walls outside the city wall, although the area of this small city is small, but the defense power is definitely catching up with Chang'an City, and even surpassing Chang'an City in some aspects.
This is the result of Lu Chen's vigorous pursuit of the turtle shell policy. When the city wall was built, Lu Chen had always been set up to defend against 100,000 troops. Therefore, this small city may be deficient in other aspects, but in terms of defense, there are few cities in the entire Tang Dynasty that can compare with it.
However, Lu Chen didn't seem to be satisfied with this terrifying defense system, and after he inspected the side, he put a lot of stone thorns in the moat, as for the suspension bridge built on the small river, once there was an invasion of foreign enemies, this small bridge could be hung on the city wall.
Seeing Lu Chen's various defensive methods, Long Yan trembled a little and said, "General, we don't need to make so many defenses, now that the Holy City is built in this uninhabited valley, there will be no army to attack under normal circumstances."
Hearing Long Yan's words, Lu Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "You can wait, I promise that in less than half a month, something big will happen on our side, you let the city guards and the Holy City's defense system run in during this time." In addition, you help the tribesmen collect the grain, I'm afraid it won't be too late to collect the grain! After speaking, Lu Chen walked towards the distance, leaving Long Yan with a puzzled expression.
"Something big is going to happen? What the hell is going on? "No matter how long Yan wants to break his head, he can't think of anything big to happen. Finally he shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, with the current terrifying defense system of the Holy City, it is impossible for thousands of people to break through, so he better train the soldiers well.
Lu Chen walked around the empty town, and then remembered that he hadn't seen Li Xinran for a few days. The last time I saw them, it was when Lin Yuan sent the general to summon them back a few days ago, and Li Xinran came out once.
Although here, Lu Chen was not too worried about Li Xinran's safety, he still found the old patriarch and asked about her whereabouts. As a result, I was told that the eldest lady actually followed some people to harvest grain outside the city!
Lu Chen was stunned, doesn't this eldest lady like to practice martial arts? Why do you suddenly remember to harvest food? Curious, according to the route provided by the old patriarch, Lu Chen walked towards the outside of the city.
That farmland was near the Zushi tribe, so Lu Chen didn't walk for a while before he saw that piece of farmland from a distance, and at this time, many people in the farmland were busy harvesting.
At this moment, Lu Chen's gaze froze, and he saw that in one of the farmlands, a girl in armor was practicing swords, to be exact, destroying crops!
This girl is naturally Li Xinran, and when Lu Chen approached, he found that the eldest lady kept waving the sword in her hand. With each dance, dozens of ears of wheat were neatly cut and then fell to the ground, and behind her were two people picking them up.
Seeing Lu Chen coming, she immediately put away her sword, and then ran towards Lu Chen, and said with a smug smile, "Lu Chen, I have found a way to practice swords and harvest food!" How's that, isn't Miss Ben smart? ”
Lu Chen's "........." This is not harvesting grain, it is estimated that most of the ears of wheat cut by Li Xinran are wasted, although there are two people behind Li Xinran who are picking up, but there are still many fallen among the weeds, and they don't have so much time to find every piece of land.
Seeing that Li Xinran was about to prepare to 'harvest' the grain again, Lu Chen hurriedly stopped, "You don't need you here, your skin will tan if you are outside for too long, and you are often in this farmland, your skin is easy to become rough!" ”
Li Xinran, who was reluctant to go back, immediately put away her sword when she heard this, and then complained, "Didn't you say it earlier!?" ”
