Chapter 14: Discovering the Rebels

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

In these seven days, Yuwen Chengdu fought abroad, successively broke through 34 villages within a radius of 50 miles, captured 27,864 people, 28 bronze generals, 6 silver generals, and countless various grain and grass resources.

This series of actions completely shook the western district of Suizhou, putting the remaining lords in danger, and even the lords of the northern and southern districts were on guard.

The forum had already exploded, and the lords of various provinces condemned Lin Yuan's invasion one after another.

However, Lin Yuan, as the person concerned, didn't care about the opinions of these people at all.

After winning 34 villages in a row and getting a lot of resources, Wushan Village can finally be promoted.

"Ding! If the village meets the upgrade conditions, will it be upgraded? ”

"Level up!"

A burst of golden light fell, and Wushan Village expanded several times and was promoted to a third-level village.

There are three conditions for the promotion of a third-level village to a first-class town.

First, the population reaches 2,000 people;

Second, the prosperity of the village reaches 500;

Again, the liege's reputation reaches 100;

"Ding! If a village meets the conditions for promotion to a first-class town, will it be promoted? ”

"Level up!"

Another burst of golden light fell, and Wushan Village was directly promoted to a first-class town, and its area expanded tenfold on the original basis.

And that's not the end of it.

"Ding! Wushan Town meets the conditions for upgrading to a second-level town, is it upgraded? ”

"Level up!"

The golden light fell, the earth rumbled, and the entire Wushan Town took on a new look and was promoted to a second-class town.

The upgrade stopped.

Lin Yuan withdrew his hand, looking at the town that had expanded dozens of times compared to before, and suddenly felt a sense of pride.

The conditions for a second-tier town to become a third-tier town are to have a population of 10,000, a prosperity of 2,000, and a liege's reputation of 500.

Of the three conditions, Wushan Town only met one, with a population of nearly 3W people.

And the skyrocketing population has also reduced people's morale to 40 points.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan organized the militia to patrol the town and raise the law and order to 70 points, otherwise, it would be easy to riot.

Wushan Village has been promoted to a second-level town, and all kinds of buildings in the town must also be upgraded at an accelerated pace, otherwise, it will only be a village-level city defense, and it will be easy to be attacked.

As for the food problem, it is a huge problem.

The grain of 4W units can only last for one and a half months in Wushan Town.

It is now late August, and this year's grain season has just passed, and the grain in the fields must wait another year.

The migration of human beings into the world of Wushuang happened to be in August, just after the harvest season in the south, which was a huge challenge, and the lords of the entire China region faced the biggest problem in the first year, even if it was a food crisis.

Lin Yuan had already organized people to go to Xiangyang City to buy grain.

The capture of 34 villages allowed him to obtain a great deal of wealth, which amounted to about 18,000 taels of silver.

All this money was used to buy grain.

Of course, there is another way to obtain food, and that is to encircle and suppress the Zhongxiang rebel army.

"My lord, the scout has come to report that a Zhongxiang rebel army barracks has been found within the territory." Suddenly, a military general walked in outside the door and reported.

Lin Yuan suddenly stood up like a shark smelling blood, "How large?" How many troops are there? In which coordinates? ”

The general reported: "It is a medium-sized barracks with about 5,000 troops. ”

"Immediately gather the strength of 3 battalions, and I will go out in person."

"In addition, inform Yuwen Chengdu and Cao Shaoqing, and order the two of them to quickly move closer to the barracks of Zhong Xiang's rebel army."

The strength of a battalion is 500.

Lin Yuan defeated 34 villages, gathered all his forces, and consolidated them into four militia battalions. The non-commissioned officers of one of the battalions have all been promoted to the second rank by him.

In this way, all the second-order soldier promotion tokens in his hand were used up.

As for the armor equipment given by Yue Fei, it was used up after equipping the heavy infantry battalion.

At present, the strength of these four battalions is all using cloth armor, leggings and cloth shoes, bronze swords of the Great Song Dynasty, hunting bows and other bronze-level equipment, some of which are not fully equipped, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

To encircle and suppress the Zhongxiang rebel army, it still depends on his heavy infantry battalion.

Soon, the army was assembled.

"Gongsun He, after I leave, you will temporarily take the position of mayor of the town, responsible for coordinating all the work of the town."

Gongsun He was a middle-aged man with a slean complexion, like a sick ghost.

[Name]: Gongsun He (gold)

[Level]: Level 16

[Experience]: 540/1600

[Age]: 40 years old

[Loyalty]: 80

[Status]: Healthy

[Commander]: 60 (max 75)

[Brawn]: 35 (maximum 45)

[Intelligence]: 65 (max 75)

[Politics]: 60 (maximum 78)

[Charm]: 52

[Specialty]: Clarify the governance of officials and improve the administrative efficiency of the territory15; agricultural experts, improving agricultural efficiency10; The Iron Mask is selfless, reducing territorial chaos and unrest15

[Description]: During the period of Tang Muzong, the official went to Jingzhou to assassinate the history, during the official period, he was honest and honest, loved the people like a son, vigorously promoted agricultural development, and governed the wealthy.

Gongsun He's five-dimensional coefficient is very high, almost reaching the purple gold level.

Using a former assassin to assist in the governance of a second-level town is simply overkill.

"Yes!" Gongsun He directly received the order.

Lin Yuan took Yu Ban and led 3 battalions and 1,500 people to the Zhongxiang rebel army barracks.

……

The Zhongxiang uprising barracks discovered this time is located outside the confines of Wushan Town.

60 miles to the southwest.

When Lin Yuan led the army to arrive, Yuwen Chengdu and Cao Shaoqing also happened to arrive from other directions.

In Yuwen Chengdu's hands, in addition to the core of 40 heavy cavalry, there is also a battalion of 500 militia recruited later.

After Cao Shaoqing obtained Lin Yuan's permission, he also expanded the army to one battalion.

The combined forces of the three parties have reached 2,500 people, which is very impressive.

However, Lin Yuan didn't dare to underestimate the Zhong Xiang rebel army opposite, because there were 5,000 people, twice as many as him.

In ancient times, the victory or defeat of a war was determined not only by morale, grain and grass, but also by the number of troops.

In general, individual prowess does not play a key role.

To give a very simple example, Xiang Yu was invincible in the world in history, and the Jiangdong warriors were the elite of the elite, but they were still surrounded and annihilated by hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers led by Han Xin.

Therefore, even if Lin Yuan had Yuwen Chengdu and a battalion of elite troops, he would not dare to attack the Zhongxiang rebel army on the opposite side at will.

What's more, the scouts sent by Lin Yuan learned that there were already third-order troops in the rebel army opposite, which made him even more jealous.

Lin Yuan directly asked the soldiers to set up camp on the spot.

The camp is only 5 miles away from the Zhongxiang rebel army camp opposite.

Lin Yuan's arrival also alarmed this Zhongxiang rebel army.

In fact, this Zhongxiang rebel army had just gone through the integration of several rebel armies, captured all the villages within a radius of 30 miles, and plundered a large amount of material and property.

The rebel army has formed a regular army.

There was also a rebel commander in the army.

At this moment, the commander of the rebel army, seeing Lin Yuan's troops coming violently, immediately ordered the whole battalion to be on alert.

In this way, the first night of the two sides passed peacefully.
