Chapter 200: A Visit to the Town of Ansai
After half a month of preparation, He Yue created more than two hundred super soldiers, plus the original remaining twenty or so, and now there are more than three hundred dead soldiers under He Yue's subordinates.
With these more than 300 dead soldiers in hand, Lu Zhiyong's waist has also hardened, and now there are more than 300 dead soldiers under his command, more than 500 Jinyi guards, plus the local garrison, now Lu Zhiyong can mobilize tens of thousands of people, which is unimaginable for him as a small thousand households.
Not only that, this time Zhu Changming couldn't help but send him soldiers, and also sent him generals, and three thousand households came to cooperate with him, not to mention, but also sent Xing Jiamu over, with Xing Jiamu's help, Lu Zhiyong's intelligence work, finally made a breakthrough, and some of the leaders of the rebel army who were originally hidden finally surfaced under Xing Jiamu's research and scrutiny.
But there are good things and bad things, after Xing Jiamu came here, his first decision was to overturn his original idea of killing Li Zicheng, and instead directly aimed at Gao Biying.
Although Lu Zhiyong had a lot of complaints about this decision, he knew that his identity was not comparable to He Yue and Xing Jiamu at all, so he could only choose to accept it.
In fact, Xing Jiamu also had his own ideas when he made such a decision, and he knew very well that after such a toss, changes had taken place within the peasant rebel armies in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and some people who wanted to show their prominence on the historical stage had already been nipped and stifled.
But at the same time that these people were stifled, they also gave birth to some new historical figures, this Gao Biying is one of them, not only that, but now this Gao Biying seems to have become the biggest force in Shaanxi and Shaanxi, almost every day there are people who go to take refuge, according to this development, it won't be long before this Gao Biying will become a headache for an opponent, so Xing Jiamu must get rid of her before she grows up.
After formulating the battle plan in detail, after He Yue and Xing Jiamu put on makeup, they wanted to go to Ansai to inspect the terrain in person, but his move was strongly opposed by Lu Zhiyong, and now Ansai Town has become a military camp, and going there to inspect the terrain is not much different from throwing yourself into a net.
After more than two hours of bargaining, Lu Zhiyong finally compromised, although he agreed to He Yue and Xing Jiamu's actions, but he also had to follow, not only himself, but also the dead soldiers under him.
Xing Jiamu knew that Lu Zhiyong was kind, and after briefly instructing the precautions, he agreed with Lu Zhiyong's idea, and asked him to take people, put on makeup, and follow him to check the terrain.
In fact, Xing Jiamu knew very well in his heart that if he went this time, he would not get any valuable information at all, because according to the spies, Gao Biying's main core had always been in the barracks, Ansai Town and the surrounding areas, and only some ordinary soldiers were stationed.
The reason why he knew that he had to go over was because Xing Jiamu wanted to see what Ansai Town had become now, how a girl in her early twenties had expanded the number of people in her team so much in a short period of time, whether there was anyone behind her to help, whether she was a puppet or a natural leader, these were what Xing Jiamu was interested in.
Xing Jiamu and He Yue came to Ansai Town as an old couple visiting relatives, while Lu Zhiyong took three dead soldiers to dress up as entourage, and the others who came with him were brought by another Qianhu Zhou Wanhai, and their identities were a group of craftsmen who came here to beg for a living.
If it turned out that there were so many strangers coming to this small place in Ansai Town, it would definitely attract people's attention, but now Ansai Town, no matter how many strangers come, no one will pay attention to you, because here, there are simply too many strangers who have come in recent times.
When Xing Jiamu and He Yue were still five miles away from Ansai, they found that someone was building a house in the open space on the side of the road, and there was more than one house building, looking at the foundation of the house, this house was simply an ordinary house, in this case, the closer to the town, the more, and finally Xing Jiamu couldn't help but be curious and came forward to inquire.
It turned out that due to the recent population explosion in Ansai Town, the original houses could no longer meet the rapid growth of the population, so Gao Biying issued an order three days ago to widen Ansai Town from four directions to the outside five miles at the same time, and five miles away, a new city wall will be built, and now people can build their own houses five miles outside the town.
As soon as this order was issued, the people of Ansai Town moved, you help me, I help you, everyone began to build houses together, and in just three days, many new houses have been built around Ansai Town.
Gao Biying did not lose her words, when the first batch of people began to build houses, she also began to arrange for people to start building new city walls, and the new city walls were completely designed by Xiang Luyang himself.
The city wall is three zhang three zhang high, the bottom thickness is three zhang, the top thickness is two zhang two, the middle is tamped with clay and glutinous rice water, the outside is made of two layers of green bricks, the outside of the city wall is the moat of six zhang deep and three zhang wide, and the river embankment at the bottom of the river is all blue brick structure.
Gao Biying first got Xiang Luyang's design drawings, she was a little difficult, according to Xiang Luyang's design, these four city walls, will consume one-third of her current funds, this is not a small amount, she herself does not dare to make the decision, after careful discussion with Hu Jinquan and other leaders, everyone agreed that although the money to build the city wall is a little more, but once the city wall is completed, at least 200,000 elite soldiers can be stopped by relying on this city wall alone, so everyone still unanimously decided that this city wall must be built.
When Xing Jiamu came to the town, the city wall near the military camp in the north of the town was already more than a zhang high, and it was easy to do things with money, not to mention that Gao Biying was not only rich, but also had a lot of people, so he transferred 10,000 soldiers to divide them into three groups, and worked day and night to construct them.
Walking into Ansai Town, Xing Jiamu looked at the crowd coming and going on the street, and whispered to He Yue beside him: "This Gao Biying can't stay for a day, if she is allowed to continue like this, it won't be long before he becomes our biggest confidant." ”
He Yue said: "I'm afraid that this Gao Biying is not the founder of this qiē, I never believe that a young girl in her early twenties can have such courage." ”
Xing Jiamu said: "Whether she is the real founder or not, she has to die, use her death to blow the confidence of these people, and then we can level this place in one fell swoop." ”
He Yue said: "What, Professor Zhu is going to use troops here?" ”
Xing Jiamu nodded and did not speak.
