Chapter VIII: Deliberation

Time quietly passed for another two days.

Needless to say, the battle that day was, of course, Zhou Chen won in the end, as for the reason, I can only blame that captain for being too stupid. Although it is good to take the lead, the disadvantages are also obvious, once the leader is killed, the soldiers under him will definitely kneel!

Zhou Chen's three stones crushed more than 150 officers and soldiers in Beihai, including the captain, none of whom were spared. The bloody meat sauce, mixed with broken bones, this scene really frightened these officers and soldiers who bullied the weak and feared the hard, coupled with the death of the captain, under the double blow, the morale plummeted, Zhou Chen saw the right time, waved his hand to kill.

Liu Tang instantly burst out twice the combat power, and the yellow scarves were also high-spirited, on the other hand, many people had not reacted from the previous scene, and even if they did, they had no temperament to fight again, although the reward for catching the yellow scarves was rich, but no matter how rich the reward was, it was necessary to have a life to enjoy it, this kind of thought suddenly began to take root, uncontrollable, and morale dropped to a trough.

At this time, Liu Tang was slashing again, and everyone was directly frightened, even if the number of people on his side was several times that of the opposite side, they still did not dare to resist, and many soldiers even knelt down and surrendered directly.

Zhou Chen also knew that what he lacked now was manpower, and when the officers and soldiers surrendered, he was also happy to have his subordinates to enrich the team.

At the moment of solving the battle, the system's prompt sound started again, and Zhou Chen also got ten card points and a design drawing of the Gathering Hall as he wished.

Drawings are high-tech, and they can be placed in a fixed direction to form a formation, which greatly improves the safety factor.

The drawings that Zhou Chen got are naturally not stalls, as the so-called system products, they must be high-quality products, and the rewards for the tasks are naturally relatively high-grade drawings. The formation is the Five Elements Bagua, the periphery is a Bagua Array, and a Five Elements Formation is set up inside, which is extremely powerful and can withstand the attack of more than ten times the enemy.

Of course, Zhou Chen didn't have the materials needed for the construction of the Justice Hall, not to say how rare these materials were, he was really poor and had no money to build!

So the plan was put on hold for the time being.

Zhou Chen led everyone to reluctantly build some houses that could be lived in with the wood on the top of the mountain, so after two days, although the conditions were difficult, everyone was still very happy, at least they didn't have to worry about the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers. In the war era, it is more important than anything else to be able to save a life.

The sun was in the sky, and at this time, everyone was sitting around Zhou Chen in the open space.

The number of officers and soldiers who surrendered that day was not small, and after cutting off some of the old ones, as well as those who were not physically fit and had no intention of fighting, there were about 20 people left, which was directly reduced by half!

In fact, in Zhou Chen's view, more than 20 talents are the most appropriate number, and more people may threaten themselves.

Coupled with the original nearly 20 people, Zhou Chen already has a total of 40 soldiers who can fight, no one has a set of equipment, and in addition, there are nearly 50 sets of armor hidden in the warehouse, which are all contributed by the officers and soldiers of the previous days, and they will be used by more people in the future.

"Big brother, although the terrain of our strange rock ridge is dangerous, there is indeed not much food, if it continues like this, it won't be long before we run out of food!" The thin monkey has been ordered by Zhou Chen as a logistics officer, and it is inevitable that he will be anxious when he sees that the food is decreasing day by day.

Zhou Chen smiled disapprovingly, "I came to you this time for this purpose. ”

"Does Big Brother have a way?" The thin monkey is not a stupid and dull person, and when he saw Zhou Chen's expression, he knew that he had the chance to win.

"Not bad." Zhou Chen took out a map from his bosom that he got out of nowhere.

The map is very sketchy, and even the city is not clearly marked, but only a few × are drawn. However, the family in this vicinity writes very clearly.

In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the family suffered, and a lot of wealth was looted. But are these families really out of money?

No! The family is still rich. As the saying goes, there are three holes of the cunning rabbit, and these people who have existed for an unknown number of years naturally understand this truth, even if they are scavenged by the Yellow Turban Army, they still have a lot of wealth. Now that the yellow scarves are no longer rampant, these people have naturally returned to their industrial residences.

In the Han Dynasty, the family held a lot of money, and the empty treasury was due to the extravagance and waste of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, but the bigger reason was because the family held the wealth! The family that has been inherited for a long time is rich and rivals the country!

And Zhou Chen's goal this time is obviously also on these families.

Robbing the people? Not to mention that Zhou Chen can't get over it in his heart, the key is that even if the people are raided, they won't get much money! Now in this world, it is good to be able to live, and the people may have some food in their homes, but gold and silver are impossible.

"Look." Zhou Chen pointed to a few points on the map, "These two families are people near the Strange Stone Ridge, and there are also people in the clan who are officials in the court, and the inheritance time is not short, presumably they must have a lot of money, as long as we attack it, we don't have to worry about food in a short time." ”

Zhang Hu looked in the direction of Zhou Chen's finger, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of incredulity, "Boss, are you trying to rob the Zhou family, the Li family?" ”

Zhou Chen bowed, "Why not?" I've already investigated, these two are the richest in the neighborhood, choose one of the two, whichever one you want, grab it. ”

Zhang Hu was so shocked by this boss that he was speechless, and he didn't know if he didn't know or had no fear, but he still wanted a necessary reminder, and said immediately: "Boss, these two families can rob it, but some of them are officials in the court, and they have a good relationship with the county commander of Taicang County not far away, if we go to attack, I'm afraid we can't beat the county soldiers in Taicang City!" ”

Zhou Chen thought about it and felt that what Zhang Hu said also made some sense, but it was impossible for him to give up the plan! Food is running out, and some must be fought.

"Well, it's not unreasonable for Huzi to be worried." Zhou Chen nodded, "However, this time the plan is still going on, we will rob at night, it is estimated that we will be done by the time those county soldiers arrive." ”

"So be it!" Zhou Chen ended the meeting directly, "Everyone is ready to prepare, eat a full meal, and there will be a big battle in the evening!" ”

As the sun sets, night falls. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and tonight is destined to be sleepless.

"Are you ready?" Zhou Chen and his party have already descended the mountain.

"Ready!"

Zhou Chen looked at the forty or so people behind him and was quite satisfied, "Don't light torches, act lightly, don't be exposed, do you hear?" ”

"Big brother, let's go, we all know." The thin monkey has the best relationship with Zhou Chen, and he speaks very casually.

"Hmm." Zhou Chen also agreed, and did not hesitate: "Let's go!" ”
