Chapter 54: The Foundation Grows

The next day, Su Yun came to Zhao Xun's camp, and after discussing with Zhao Xun for a while, Su Yun left with a satisfied smile. Zhao Xun's assassination also made some people look at Sima Yun, and many people hoped that Zhao Xun, a stunned young man, would fight with Sima Yun, and similarly, there were many people who were worried about Zhao Xun, most of these people were lower-class people, and they were ordinary people who had been harmed by Sima Qi. Zhao Xun beat Sima Qi, that is, he indirectly helped these people, and they naturally hoped that this little hero who could suppress Sima Qi's bastard would live longer.

"Zhao Hai, you have to carefully visit the traces of these assassins in the past few days, more than a hundred people can't leave no traces. And that person, heal them first, and then you must find out where they came from. I want to know who is assassinating me, and who is having trouble with me in Yanzhou City. Plus, you divide your manpower into groups that are responsible for different things. It is necessary to keep an eye on all the officials and big families in Yanzhou City and pay attention to their words and deeds. After Su Yun left, Zhao Xun found Zhao Hai, who was in charge of intelligence, and discussed.

"However, I am really understaffed, and there are not many people who know this." Zhao Hai said with an embarrassed face. Zhao Xun was assassinated, Zhao Hai, who was in charge of intelligence, did not get any news, although he Zhao Xun was appointed yesterday in charge of intelligence, but since the beginning of Wohu Mountain, intelligence has always been in charge of Li Chenfeng and him, but Li Chenfeng is responsible for logistics matters, so the intelligence work is actually dominated by him. This time Zhao Xun was assassinated, he didn't notice any signs, although he also secretly stared at Sima Yun, but no matter what, it was his own dereliction of duty.

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Indeed, now we lack everything, so let's find someone first, and then I will go and tell them some basic things every night, and then slowly explore it myself." ”

After Zhao Hai left, Zhao Xun thought carefully about what he had done from Xinyan Town to the present, plus some of his own opinions, and gradually had some new ideas, so he shouted outside the tent: "Zhao Qingshan! Zhao Qingshan! ”

"Brother Zhao, Qingshan is injured and is still lying down." Li Ruolan walked in from the outside and said.

"And who's out there?"

"No one, it's just a few brothers from the pro-guards, you can tell me something, now Qingshan and Zhao Shun are injured, and you are the same, so from now on, I will be responsible for your daily life. As for me, although I don't understand what you are talking about, I still have no problem passing on the word of mouth for you. Li Ruolan walked to Zhao Xun's side, straightened out Zhao Xun's clothes, and said seriously.

Zhao Xun suddenly felt that he was very happy, and so many people cared about him. Stretched out his hand and took Li Ruolan's Ruyu little hand and said: "Lan'er, don't wronged yourself, I hope you can be happy and happy, and don't deliberately change yourself for me." ”

Li Ruolan, who was held by Zhao Xun's hand, was in a flurry of heart, calmed down, and twitched a few times, but failed to pull her hand out: "What are you doing, it's broad daylight, what if someone sees it?" Don't let it go soon! ”

"What are you afraid of, even if someone comes, they will be reported outside, besides, you are my woman, what does it matter if I pull it, don't you want to?"

"No, it's just ......"

"Okay, it's not good for you to make trouble, you go and call me the sentry commander of the five sentinels, Situ Liang, and Zhao Hai who went out before, I have something to do with them."

Li Ruolan hurriedly responded, and not long after, more than a dozen people gathered together.

"Lan'er! Let's discuss it, you go out first! Li Luobei saw Li Ruolan standing in Zhao Xun's figure, and secretly blamed his daughter for being ignorant.

"It's okay, just let her stay here, my right hand is a little inconvenient, and I still need his help with some things." Zhao Xun said with a smile.

Seeing Zhao Xun say this, Li Luobei was also secretly happy, Gao Xin's daughter already understood what she wanted.

"I called everyone here because I had something to say, and by the fact that I was assassinated, our soldiers took turns to go out of the camp for training. Because we are not a government army, we don't have to follow some of the rules of the government army, but we can't mess around. Starting tomorrow, the two outposts will stay in the camp to train the military formation and gunnery in the camp, the two outposts will go out of the city for physical training, and the last post can be said to be resting, or it can be said to do the most important thing, that is, to recruit some innocent recruits, don't we build a Wubao outside the west city, and the newly recruited soldiers and their families are placed there. It is necessary to recruit ordinary people who have families and have innocent families, which requires each soldier to look around Yanzhou City, so that the soldiers can be regarded as resting. This method rotates every five days, and after a month, a contest will be held, and the people below will be told that the pro-guard team will recruit another fifty people from those who have obtained the flame cloak, and those who are willing to become elite will work hard. ”

In addition to being responsible for guarding, Zhao Xun's personal guard team usually follows Zhao Xun with other sentry commanders and team leaders, telling about the thirty-six strategies and various combat techniques, that is, the officer reserve, the team is about to recruit people, and the new team officer naturally has the closest people to follow Zhao Xun, and these people are naturally none other than the personal guards.

"But we don't have much money, and we are now negotiating with the original owner of the land there to buy the land, as well as money for the purchase of various materials and the recruitment of craftsmen. If this continues, there will be no money in two or three months. Situ Liang was a little caught off guard by Zhao Xun's big moves.

Zhao Xun's face turned cold, and he said: "Don't worry about this, it won't be long before we can not only get the money, but also know who is assassinating me." Just let it go, don't worry about anything else. I have prepared the warrant to enter and leave the city, our foundation is too poor, we must strengthen it, otherwise we will be controlled everywhere, and we will start acting tomorrow. The others go to get busy first, Zhao Hai, you stay! ”

"Zhao Hai, from today onwards, in addition to what I told you before, you should pay attention to the situation around Yanzhou City for a hundred and ten miles, I think, there must be a very special mountain bandit in this vicinity, and we will go and kill him when the time comes. If you can probe, you can probe, if you can't, you don't have to force it, don't startle the snake, because we still have a card in our hand that the other party doesn't know. Zhao Xun said coldly.

The hidden card that Zhao Xun mentioned is the person who needs to be treated earlier. When Li Lingfeng led his troops to help last night, he immediately retreated at this moment, taking away all the people who were easy to take away, but some of the seriously injured were directly stabbed. However, Zhao Xun found that another person escaped a mortal knife because he fell under another person, and saved a life, but because of excessive blood loss, he passed out and was brought back by Zhao Xun.

From the next day, the people of Yanzhou City discovered a new scene, every morning, three or four hundred soldiers with weapons, shouting slogans, neatly rushed out of the west gate, and ran back in the afternoon, and later heard others say that they knew that these people were going out for training.

Zhao Xun's move did make some people worry for a while, but after seeing that he was just training as usual, he didn't care about it anymore.

"Look, my lord, this is the result of these three months! Originally, I was going to build a earthen fort like an ordinary landlord's house, but there were many people who came to work, so I redesigned it and built it as a small castle. The side length is nearly 400 meters, the height is 5 meters, and the width is 3 meters. But there was nothing in the city, it was empty. Nearly 20,000 acres of fertile land in this vicinity are ours, and there are three or four hundred tenant households, and it stands to reason that another three or four hundred households can be resettled, because some wasteland can be reclaimed in this vicinity for their own use. We are located here on the southwest side, and then on the west side is Songya Ridge, which is a high mountain that is difficult to climb, and there are large areas of wasteland on the northwest and southeast sides that can be cultivated, and these places should have been land originally, but because of years of war, yes, these people walked and died, and there was nothing left, they were all deserted. Situ Liang pointed to the small city in front of him, which had been half-built, and said.

Zhao Xun nodded with satisfaction and took a closer look, it was now the beginning of August, and it was the scorching sun, and the shirtless people on the construction site in front of him were busy back and forth. He asked strangely, "How did I find that these people are very enthusiastic in their actions?" You're not going to give them processing money, are you? ”

Situ Liang hurriedly shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't dare!" I didn't give them any money for processing, but when I was recruiting young people to work two months ago, I found that there were a lot of people who needed us to work, so I divided them into more than a dozen groups, and each group was assigned the same amount of work according to the number of people. The last three groups were rewarded with a small percentage of their wages as a penalty. That's why they're so energetic. ”

Zhao Xun glanced at Situ Liang and laughed: "I didn't expect you to play conspiracy and tricks!" Very good, you're in a good way! "To be honest, some of Situ Liang's practices already have the methods that were common in society in his previous life." This guy, there are a few hits! Zhao Xun thought to himself.

"Go on, as soon as possible, and now keep a little of the money in your hand, and buy the rest into food, and save it up, and maybe it will be used soon." By the way, when it is built, there must be a secret passage, and this secret passage will be built secretly by the soldiers when they come out to train. In addition to the river, a dark river was dug so that people would not be trapped in it in the future. Zhao Xun then put forward his other opinions, Situ Liang wrote them down one by one, as a subordinate, he knew very well what he should do, what is worth doing? What should be done? It's all a science, although some opinions are dispensable in his opinion. has been by Zhao Xun's side for more than three months, and he knows very well that Zhao Xun is powerful, whether it is force or resourcefulness. Besides, it can be guessed from Zhao Xun's words that the situation in Yanzhou is about to change greatly.

"From now on, this is our home! It's just ours! Zhao Xun pointed to the small city under construction and said loudly.
