The morning light slowly tears through the darkness of the earth.

A new day has arrived as usual.

Around Xiahe City, a large number of corpses were scattered in a messy manner. There were military households who started a riot, and there were also armed families who tried to recapture Xiahe City, and they were mixed together, and it was miserable. But more than that, the families of those military families who were killed by Wang Jian were all lined up one by one. Yesterday's battle didn't disrupt them. Standing at the top of the city, it looks like hell.

The sea breeze blows from the south, bringing with it a strong smell of blood. Faintly, you can still hear the howl of wolves coming from the west. To the west of Xiahe Village, there is the continuous Wulian Mountain, which is high and densely forested, the terrain is rugged, and there are many wild beasts. Human corpses are undoubtedly the best food for wolves. Wild wolves that smell blood often appear in groups around Xiahe City.

Zhang Zhun stood at the head of the city, silently looking at the fields outside the city.

Outside, the wilderness was barren, and there were no crops in sight. Because of the long-term drought, the grass on the ground is basically brown and yellow, and there is no life in the slightest. In fact, the surrounding areas of Lingshanwei are mostly mountainous and hilly, with many metamorphic rocks, magmatic rocks and sedimentary rocks, which are not suitable for growing crops. This is especially true in the surroundings of Xiahe Village, where the scarce arable land cannot meet the needs of military households.

Zhang Zhun vigorously recalled the information about Jiaonan City in later generations, and remembered that the only thing here was minerals. Such as iron ore, graphite, gravel, lead, manganese, copper, zircon, etc., the stock is quite large, as if there are millions of tons. Among them, iron, graphite, lead, copper, etc., are all urgently needed by Zhang Zhun at present. Unfortunately, other than iron ore, other minerals have not been developed on a large scale.

"My lord, all the officers and soldiers have withdrawn." Peng Bo came to report.

"I see." Zhang Zhun nodded.

Wang Jian is indeed a decisive person, and when he found that he could not conquer Xiahe City, he immediately retreated, never dragging his feet. Such an opponent must be vigilant. In the future, if you want to develop to Lingshanwei, you must defeat Wang Jian and replace him. With such a goal, Zhang Zhun is naturally quite attentive to Wang Jian.

If the guess is correct, Wang Jian should have calculated that he would not stay in Xiahe City for long, so he took retreat as advance, and waited for him to make a comeback after leaving Xiahe Village. I have to admit that Wang Jian did accurately capture Zhang Zhun's thoughts. Zhang Zhun really couldn't stay in Xiahezhai for too long. Fushan is his foundation, and if he leaves for more than three days, there are hidden dangers. After dealing with the matter here, Zhang Zhun must quickly return to the Fushan Institute.

If you leave Xiahezhai, what will happen here?

Do these military households have the ability to stop Wang Jian's counterattack?

Do you want to garrison some of your troops here? If so, how many? Who will be appointed as commander? It seems that no one under his command has the ability to take charge on his own, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it! Dividing troops to fight is a taboo for soldiers, and Zhang Zhun cannot but be cautious. However, if you don't garrison it, how can you control it yourself?

Ma Yi came over suddenly, his face was a little weird, and he reported to Zhang Zhun in a low voice: "My lord, the situation seems to be a little ......."

Zhang Zhun frowned slightly, and said slowly, "What's special?" ”

Ma Yi said in a low voice: "The backbone military households of Xiahe Village were all called to the west of the city to gather, but no one greeted us. We had absolutely no idea. Those military households who attended the meeting deliberately avoided us, as if they were thieves. It is said that the person who summoned them to the assembly was called Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was the organizer of the riot in the first place. He is one of the hundred households in Xiahe Village, and his family has land and land. My lord, I think they are uneasy and kind, and they don't want us to stay in Xiahezhai. ”

Zhang Zhun's eyes flashed slightly, and he said quietly: "I know." ”

Ma Yi turned around and went.

A secret meeting in the west of the city?

Don't want the escort team to stay in Xiahezhai?

The corners of his mouth slowly revealed a slight sneer.

It seems that his rescue trip is not too popular!

In fact, judging from last night's battle, Zhang Zhun sensed that something was wrong. After occupying Xiahe City by himself, Wang Jian mobilized all his family members and desperately counterattacked Xiahe City. It is obvious that the encirclement of Langya Mountain has collapsed. If he were Zhao Feng, he would definitely mobilize immediately, find a way to get in touch with him, cooperate with the outside and deal heavy losses to the officers and soldiers.

Anyone who knows a little about military knowledge knows that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. If Xiahezhai wants to succeed in the rebellion, it must consume the strength of the officers and soldiers of Lingshanwei as much as possible. In other words, it is to eliminate Wang Jian's backbone force. Last night, it was such a good opportunity. If Zhao Feng was attacked on the back and suffered from both sides, the casualties would definitely be very heavy. If it's not good, his own life will be explained in Xiahe City. Even if he escaped back to the Lingshan Acropolis by luck, it would not be so easy to make a comeback.

However, this scene did not appear. Last night, until the morning, it was the officers and men of the escort team, and the other military households organized by Feng Yangyi, fighting alone. Zhao Feng did not lead the army to attack from behind Zhao Feng. It wasn't until the officers and soldiers completely retreated that Zhao Feng appeared. Moreover, after appearing, instead of discussing with himself as soon as possible, how to continue to eliminate more officers and soldiers, he secretly gathered military households and gathered in the west of the city, but did not inform himself.

Obviously, he was treated as an outsider.

Moreover, it is not very popular with outsiders.

At this moment, Zhang Zhun clearly felt that there were some deviations in his previous estimates. It is not that he took the initiative to send troops to rescue Xiahe Village, and he was able to successfully enter Xiahe Village. His perspective on the problem is still not comprehensive enough.

Everyone is selfish, has their own **, and has different interests. The same is true of the military households in Xiahezhai. Their interests may not be consistent with his. It is true that the military households of Xiahezhai want to rebel, change their fate, and want to follow the model of Fushan. However, they didn't want Zhang Zhun to be the leader for them.

Yes, Zhang Zhun himself is self-inflicted.

He thought that Xiahezhai was in his bag, and thought that as long as he led the army to rescue these military households, these military households would be grateful to Dade, cry bitterly, regard themselves as their reborn parents, and without hesitation, elect themselves as the thousands of households in Xiahezhai, and hand over their fate to their own hands. But I didn't expect that not all the people here welcome themselves. They preferred to think of him as a mercenary, a temporary helper. You've helped me solve my problem, and I'll pay you. After you have been paid, you should leave.

That's right, that's it.

"Good intentions are not rewarded, do good deeds to be full of faces, the same fate as Director Chen!"

Zhang Zhun silently laughed at himself in his heart.

In fact, if Zhao Feng and others explained their meaning to Zhang Zhun openly and honestly, Zhang Zhun would not be angry. After all, Xiahezhai belongs to the military households of Xiahezhai, and they have the right to choose their own leaders. It's not impossible for you, a dragon who crosses the river, to suppress the snake at once, and the tiger is specialized in this. However, that is all a subordinate means. There's no need for that at all.

For Zhang Zhun, what he needs is the route of Xiahezhai, and what he needs is the silver and grain of Xiahezhai. This time with a rich reward, the escort team has basically completed the mission. After all, when Zhang Zhun decided to come to Xiahe Village, he came for the silver and grain here. Now, the silver and food are under the control of the convoy. If you want to get more, it seems a bit too much.

In last night's battle, the convoy didn't actually have too many casualties. By daybreak, only eight members of the convoy had been slightly injured and were fine. If you want to say that there is a relatively large price to pay, it is to consume dozens of catties of black gunpowder with copper oxide. If the cost is converted, there should be more than a dozen taels of silver. In addition, it is the round-trip bus fare.

However, it is a pity that the actions of Zhao Feng and the others seem to be a sign of prostitution in the eyes of the soldiers of the escort team. I worked hard to get you out, but as a result, the enemy ran away, and we too will be driven away, no wonder everyone is angry. There's no human touch at all, what kind of person! To be a man, you can't be so unkind!

Some officers can even guess that Zhao Feng's actions last night still have a bit of a taste of borrowing a knife to kill. At the very least, he wanted the escort team and the officers and soldiers to fight each other, and it was better to die together. This made the escort even angrier than impersonal. Such a white-eyed wolf is not worth the escort team at all!

"Let's see how they're going to get me out!"

Zhang Zhun sneered slightly in his heart.

Soon after, the wind came.

His expression was a little weird, as if he was a little ashamed of Zhang Zhun, his eyes didn't dare to touch Zhang Zhun's gaze at all, he lowered his head, and said with difficulty: "My lord, all the military households in Xiahe Village, I want to see you." ”

Zhang Zhun said quietly: "In that case, please invite them to come." ”

Feng Yangyi's face became more and more strange, he lowered his head, stopped talking, and there was obviously a painful look in his eyes.

His intention was to let Zhang Zhun go to the west of the city to meet the military households, but Zhang Zhun meant to let them come here. He believed that Zhang Zhun would never misunderstand what he meant. Since Zhang Zhun said so, he has already seen the clues. For a while, his face was even more bad, and he didn't know how to deal with himself. Zhang Zhun was invited by him, and now, there is such a situation, he really doesn't know what to do.

Zhang Zhun pretended not to know, looked at him quietly, and asked blankly, "What's wrong?" Why is your face so weird? ”

Feng Yangyi hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'll go and inform them now." ”

With that, he hurriedly turned around and went.

Ma Yi saw that something was wrong, stepped forward, and whispered: "My lord, do you want us to ......?"

Zhang Zhun said disappreciatively: "Are you still worried that they won't be able to eat me?" ”

Ma Yi retreated.

A moment later, Feng Yangyi appeared at the door of the Qianhu Official Hall with a few people.
