From the cave to today, Zhao Yun had the idea of expansion for the first time, had a preliminary understanding of this era, and urgently needed a territory that could provide him with stable development.

Zhao Yun thought of Baidu and the computer again, but now there is nothing, and the only one he can rely on is this camp. Zhao Yun felt a sadness in his heart.

Calling a shield player, Zhao Yun drew out the iron sword and began to learn from the shield player, elementary swordsmanship, it is said that Harvard has a famous theory: a person's fate is often decided between 8 and 10 o'clock in the evening. If you are willing to set aside 2 hours a night to read, study, and think, you will find that your life is changing, and after a few years, you can see that success beckons you.

"For yourself! To live! You must have the power to protect yourself in this world. Zhao Yun set a new goal for himself in his heart.

On the second day after returning from the county seat, Shao Laoer's map was drawn.

The map is very sloppy, but it can probably be seen and understood, this place is Gaochun, Jurong, and Nanjing to the north, but now I don't know if it's a war, or what's wrong, this road is very strict, so it is impossible to carry weapons to take this road.

Shao Laoer's recommended direction is Yixing in the northeast of this place, detour from there, first build a transfer station there, carry weapons and other prohibited items little by little, and finally people go together, as long as they enter the territory of Yixing, you can not take the main road, drill the mountain all the way to Maoshan to advance. Yixing is located in the south of Jiangsu, is the hub of the south of the Yangtze River, to the west is Nanjing, to the north is Jiangyin, the narrowest part of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, holding the Yangtze River strategic point; It is bordered by Taihu Lake in the east, facing Suzhou across Taihu Lake, Shanghai to the east, and Hangzhou to the south.

Now it belongs to Suchang Road, sandwiched between Suzhou and Changzhou. The rivers in the territory are dense, vertical and horizontal, irrigation, transportation is convenient, and the most important thing is that Zhao Yun has been there before, and knows that there are a large number of karst caves there, and the terrain is very strange. There are mountains, water, and plains in the territory. The entire county is built on a small island, which is rare in Jiangnan.

The south is hilly and mountainous, and the north is plain; The eastern part is the Taihu Lake desecration area, and the western part is the low-lying polder area. This place is good, cavalry, infantry, can be opened, and their own docks have not been built until now, and you can build warships when you get there.

"Well, just go there," Zhao Yun clapped, and he was sure in his heart, "Build the castle there too." This is mainly because Zhao Yun had heard before that during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the mountainous areas of Yixing held out for six years under the siege of the Japanese, and finally it was the traitors who led the way before they were exterminated. Six years, so close to Nanjing, the Japanese headquarters at that time, held out for six years, you can imagine how suitable it is to hide yourself. Of course, after going, Zhao Yun found that the terrain there was too "cheating", which is a later story.

Now that the goal has been set, Zhao Yun is going to start arranging, first leaving a group of farmers and teams here. Although this place is not suitable for expansion, it has not yet been discovered, and it is best to use it as a secret base. The militia group of Yao Village had searched the surrounding mountains several times before, because Zhao Yun had not cut down the surrounding vegetation in line with the principle that rabbits did not eat the grass next to the nest, and no one could have imagined that so many people would stay in the cave and be self-sufficient.

So after searching a few times, no one came here, but this place is too close to Tianzi Lake, and tall buildings such as castles cannot be built, or they will be discovered from far away.

The cottage of Shifo Mountain, there is a white land, but building a fort there is equivalent to building a target to attract the surrounding clan armed forces. The bandits in Shifoshan were originally established by several local clans and had a broad mass base, so they could successfully escape even if they failed. But Zhao Yun is an outsider, and it is strange that the local armed forces do not attack him. Without strong strength, Zhao Yun would not move this place.

Two days later

The militia groups in Shifoshan basically withdrew to Yao Village, because Zhao Yun took away a roadcard guarding the mountain, and the people who guarded the mountain and set up the card fled into the nearby villages, and no one wanted to wander around. Seeing that there was no movement on the mountain, Zhao Yun sent a militia and secretly went up to Shifo Mountain. Infiltrated around the stockade that had been burned down by Pan Datou.

I want to leave here, and I have to deal with a group of oil bottles, Shao Lao Er is ready to stay to lead the way, Cui Sangou has a small family, he will not go with him, he has not yet shaken the tiger's body, Wang Bazhi's breath gushed out, making people look up, crying, shouting and following him. Although there has been "persuasion" from the monks, Zhao Yun still hopes that there will be a local here, and if there is a disturbance, this guy can still come to "lurk". lest your eyes be blackened, and you won't know who is beating.

There are also ten people who were captured later, Zhao Yun is ready to let them continue to work, the expenses of this group of guys here are too great, and the salt is basically consumed by them. Why don't you have to get Ben back for me?

However, before that, Zhao Yun still hoped that Pan Datou and Master Pan would sponsor his poor household for free.

At the foot of Shifoshan Mountain, there is a vacant lot, where piles of wood are piled up, at first glance it is a wood processing plant, yes, this is Pan Datou, one of the means for Master Pan to make a fortune, wood.

Langxi is an important production area of grain, oil and silkworm cocoons in Anhui Province, with nine townships under its jurisdiction, and there is no shortage of rice, but only Yaocun Township, which is controlled by Mr. Pan, has mountains and forests, so Mr. Pan controls more than 80% of the timber trade in Langxi.

Now the money in Zhao Yun's pocket is not enough for all the technology to be developed, so the room for improvement in strength has been suppressed. If you want to improve your strength as much as possible, the only way is to quickly expand your resources.

Without wood, farmland cannot be built, and without farmland, there is no way to quickly solve the problem of food resources, so cavalry, crossbowmen and so on cannot be produced.

can only engage in "robbery", a promising career in the classic textbook of literature, and slowly save some money.

If you want to rob, you have to pick a big household, and you can't do it if you rob the people. Robbing a big family that is rich and unkind, that's called "robbing the rich and helping the poor"! Anyway, it's all on TV, and Pan Datou is not a good bird, close to Zhao Yun's cave, so Pan Datou and Master Pan were lucky to be selected.

Some time ago, the mountain bandits of Shifo Mountain ran into Tianzi Lake, and Master Pan prepared to build a ship and enter the lake to encircle and suppress. But the wood was ready, but Master Pan postponed his action.

Pan Datou's adjutant has not come to urge the progress of felling for a few days, so the people in the forest farm have rested, and those who enter the city have already released ducks.

"Young master, in the entire forest farm, there is only one team of village guards, and there are not a few guns." Shao Lao Er bent down and quietly climbed to Zhao Yun's side.

Zhao Yun now has Cui Sangou by his side, and he has been staring at this piece of meat for a few days. With people today, I'm ready to pull all of this into my pocket.

If this thing was transported away by Pan Datou one day, Zhao Yun would not have a place to look for it.

Today I pulled out all my team, 9 infantry (3 militiamen, 6 shield bearers), 10 ranged attack (10 elite crossbowmen), 20 cavalry (wind cavalry), and 2 monks. Except for the militia sent to monitor Shifo Mountain, they are all here.

This time only Shao Lao Er and Cui Sangou were brought with them, and the captives in the stone room were basically honest after a "persuasion" by the monks, and they didn't need their help for this robbery, so they were still arranged to work in the cave, and there were peasants watching by their side, and they couldn't run.

Lying on the mountain, looking at the forest farm below after dinner, Zhao Yun wiped the "Hanyang Made" in his hand, and in the valley behind him, the cavalry sat on the war horse, which was still majestic, but the others were a little cold, and they didn't even have a gun. It's a pity that the team behind them,

When I arrived at the forest farm, it was dark, and the moonlight was good tonight, and the ground was like sprinkling mercury, and the whole forest farm was quiet.

Zhao Yun watched them all go to bed, and waved his big hand, "Let's go!" ”

Cui Sangou fumbled and stepped forward to knock on the door: "Brother, open the door!" ”

After shouting for a long time, he replied, "Who?" ”

"I, the sunspot of Master Pan's family in Yao Village." Heizi is also the long-term worker of Pan Datou's family, and he also leads a team in the militia group, and Cui Sangou grew up with him, so it is very easy to pretend.

"Wait." Hearing that it was someone from Yao Village, someone in the house got up, opened the door, and said, "What's the matter so late?" ”

As soon as the door opened, a shield bearer rushed in with his shield in hand, and the infantry and elite crossbowmen from behind rushed in.

Then I heard a commotion in the house, and when Zhao Yun entered the house, the people in the house had been tied up by the militia with iron chains.

Many people are held down while they are still asleep in bed.

As a result, twelve were caught, ten short knives, four spears, and four spears. "I'll take them all back." They are all peasant men, good at work!

"Brother, brother, it's me! I'm a four-dog! ”
