Lin Ruolan fainted, Zhang Ning hugged her, Lin Jun looked at Lin Ruolan and sighed: "The essence of war is to pursue the maximization of interests, sooner or later you will understand." ”

After speaking.

He led the group in the direction of the carriage.

Outcome.

There was no movement in the carriage.

Lin Jun suddenly realized that something was wrong, Lan Shixin rushed up and split the carriage curtain with a knife, and what appeared in front of him turned out to be again.

"Empty."

Lan Shixin's face was extremely ugly, who would have thought that the last carriage would be empty?

"We were really tricked, Su Xiaochen was much smarter than we thought, he didn't get into the carriage at all, but took advantage of the night to mix in the army, and then returned to the town to rerent the carriage and ran away from other places." Lin Jun exhaled deeply.

He pondered for a while and said: "Shixin, please protect my little sister back to the village first, this time I have to go to Xingluo Village to ask for food, I have to solve the urgent need first, in case of a follow-up plan, please." ”

"Brother Jun doesn't have to be polite, we are all here to exterminate Su Xiaochen, the evil thief, this time Shixin can meet Brother Jun, it is really Shixin's honor. President Wenlong, Brother Jun, General Zhang, and Shixin left first. ”

Lan Shixin arched his hand, Zhang Ning sent Lin Ruolan into the carriage, and Lin Jun sent a group of guards battalions to follow behind and began to return to Yangyuan County.

And Lin Jun and Pan Wenlong glanced at each other, and the plans in their hearts coincided, Lin Jun took over Lin Ruolan's troops, and Pan Wenlong and Zhang Ning led thousands of soldiers to follow closely in the dark.

It is three miles away from Xingluo Village.

The two carriages slowly came towards Xingluo Village, and the coachmen on it were the rich three and the four, and the people sitting inside were Lu Chen, the girl and Xu Rong's family.

Just as Lin Jun expected, they took advantage of the opportunity to fall behind when they crossed the mountains, returned to the town to rent a carriage and set off again, but this time they circled in a northeast direction, but the speed of the carriage was also three times faster than the speed of walking.

If it weren't for the detour, they would have arrived at the village long ago.

Lu Chen looked at the familiar Xingluo Village was still there, and his worried heart finally let go, but at the same time, he didn't know that Xingluo Village had fallen into a riot.

In Xingluo Village, Ah Yu and others are suppressing the rioting villagers, they come from nowhere, inciting the masses to demand the return of the arrears of grain and grass, the morale of the village has been greatly reduced, and it has fallen below 60 passing points, but unfortunately, Lu Chen has not returned for a long time, which makes Ah Yu particularly worried.

That's when it happened.

The newly cultivated scout immediately came with the news that the lord had returned.

The stone that Ah Yu was worried about was slowly put down, and looking at the villagers with hateful faces holding hoes, Ah Yu couldn't be happy.

"You keep an eye on them, and I'll go and welcome the lord back to the village."

"Yes, General Yu."

Ah Yu led two teams of town camp soldiers to the south gate, standing outside the new triumphal arch, which was already the main gate of Xingluo Village.

The stone wall of Xingluo Village has been built, the top of the stone wall is the defensive tower, the battlement, the corner platform, the female wall, the road to the city, etc., have been first seen model, because it is the stone wall masonry seems to be a little dilapidated, but whether it is the height, width, length is built in accordance with the giant city, the city wall is 12 meters high, the top width is 14 meters, the bottom width is 18 meters, and the circumference is about 15 miles.

The area of Xingluo Village is already 15 miles in length, 12 miles in width, and the length and width of the inner city have not changed.

Lu Chen had already seen the towering city walls in the distance, as well as the moat being built, and there were Ah Yu and the others standing outside the city gate.

After getting out of the carriage, Lu Chen led Xu Rong and the others to the outside of the city wall, Xu Rong also saw the towering stone wall, and was slightly shocked in his heart.

At the same time, I am also a little relieved that it is not as bad as I imagined.

"Lord, you're finally back, Tian Zhong wants to kill the lord." Before Ah Yu stepped forward to greet him, Tian Zhong, who hurried from the deputy village chief's room, suddenly pounced on him, crying and shouting.

The expression and posture were very in place, Lu Chen directly dodged Tian Zhong's pounce, but directly took Xu Rong, A Yu and others into the inner city.

On the way, I happened to see the rioting villagers, but this was not the time to solve the matter, so he instructed Tian Zhong to send someone to arrange the housing problem between Xu Rong's family and the girl, and then he came to the temporary prison where the mob was held with Tian Zhong and others.

When I walked into the prison, I saw hundreds of villagers, all of whom were glaring at Lu Chen, shouting to return his grain money.

"Ah Yu, let them go, we will go to the peasant officials now, since it is a problem of copper coins, we naturally have to use copper coins to solve it."

"Yes, my lord." Ah Yu nodded in response.

Subsequently, Lu Chen took Tian Zhong and Ah Yu out of the prison, and the prison officials opened the prison door and released them all.

And at the same time.

The first thing they did when they came out was still making trouble.

The troublemakers standing in the city gathered again, and the patrolmen surrounded them, and due to the release of the Xianbei invasion mission, the players in this area had long since left, leaving only the residents of the village, who were making a lot of noise, demanding that the village return their grain money.

"Tian Zhong, you liquidate these IOUs." Lu Chen took the attached page of the IOU in the hands of the peasant officials, and handed it to Tian Zhong along with the countless copper coin packages placed on the ground.

Meantime.

said to Ah Yu: "Keep an eye on them, catch the mob without an IOU, and don't let any of them go." ”

Then.

Several figures had already begun to retreat.

Pity.

The guards behind and the town army battalion soldiers in the barracks had already blocked the way to retreat.

Click.

The leader of the patrol instantly arrested one of them who was trying to escape.

"You, what do you want to do, let go of me, you are illegally imprisoned, I want to sue you, you people ......"

"Stun him." Lu Chen said with a cold face.

Syllable!

The leader of the patrol slapped him unequivocally, and the other party fainted to death, and then, half an hour later, the registered farmers had already received them, and there were seven or eight people left in the city.

"Who sent you? Don't say it, you have received it, do you know Lan Shixin? He once fell into my hands, and as a result, three days in the dungeon were unforgettable for him. Lu Chen said as he walked down to look around, a few people in a panic.

Lu Chen's words made several of them even more panicked, he already knew that his identity as a player had been recognized, and as a result, he either committed suicide or suffered humiliation and waited for his teammates to save him.

Obviously, the former is better, but the real pain is not something that everyone can bear, and once they don't die, they will be captured.

"Ahh Su Xiaochen, Lao Tzu is fighting with you! ”

A person who suddenly burst into a rage rushed towards Lu Chen, trying to take the opportunity to kill Lu Chen, but as a result, Ah Yu pinched the other party stiffly, snapped, and fainted.

Poof-

I saw another person trying to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but he was forcibly choked by a town army battalion soldier, and his half-bitten tongue was stuck, and he was stunned by a side head blow, and then the doctor treated him.

......

A total of nine people were thrown into the prison again, and when they entered, the doctor brought dozens of powdered pills to the prison officials, and they left in a hurry.

Same night.

The screams of the prison continued.

Meantime.

The second night.

The screams of the prison were noticeably slower, but still wailing.

Third night.

There was no sound at all.

Meantime.

Lu Chen checked the hearts of the people in the village, and suddenly rose slowly, from the previous 60 to 80.

"Violence is the only way to stop all chaos." Lu Chen sighed in his heart, and then thought of his empty money bag, shook his head and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I just got 60 million copper coins, alas! ”

Lu Chen led Xu Rong into the barracks, looking at the soldiers who had now become a large army, his heart was still full of pride.

Xu Rong looked at the soldiers of the fourth battalion, the town military camp has been transferred, and the level has been all 45, and the next thing to face is the second breakthrough, level 45 is the road, although it is not as hard as level 60, but it is also a very test of the qualifications of the soldiers.

Due to the temporary lack of war horses, the Dangkou camp is unable to change jobs, and it is still at level 20, but they are not worried, Gongsun Du has already sent his friends to Xingluo Village to send war horses non-stop.

Ah Yu continued to lead the two battalions of the town army, and Xu Rong took over the two battalions of Dangkou.

It was also 1,600 soldiers, but Xu Rong said that there was a very urgent matter, that is, weapons.

CAVALRY IS DIFFERENT FROM FOOT SOLDIERS, MACHETES HAVE COMPLETELY LOST THEIR EFFECTIVENESS, AND THEY NEED LONG WEAPONS, SUCH AS RING-HEADED STRAIGHT KNIVES (THE ANCESTOR OF THE TANG SWORD, 120CM LONG), SPEARS, AND SO ON.

Meantime.

Lu Chen also thought of the saddle and stirrups, which must be manufactured, but I don't know if the system allows them to be manufactured, and at the same time, according to historical records, saddles and stirrups appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, but I don't know why I didn't see them in the Xiliang period, but I only saw cloth stirrups, which were saddles and stirrups made of cloth and animal skins.

Now now, the equipment has been forced to be manufactured, but unfortunately the iron ore has not been able to arrive for a long time, and there are only two months left before the Yellow River freezes and Xianbei attacks.

Lu Chen pondered for a long time, and then asked, "Xu Rong, a bandit who is equivalent to a soldier, can you lead all the soldiers to defeat them?" ”

Xu Rong also thought for a while, glanced at the soldiers of the fourth battalion who were training in the barracks, nodded and promised: "Lord, as long as the war horse arrives, it will not be difficult to defeat." ”

"Okay, as long as you can defeat the bandits, you can change your weapon."

After a few days of getting along, Lu Chen already knows Xu Rong's character, he does not take credit, he is not arrogant, he does not exaggerate, he does not like to joke, and his personality is very calm.

The things he promised were naturally well thought out.

Although there are few records of him in history, Xu Rong, a famous general who died early, can be said to have absolutely beaten all bulls, ghosts, gods and snakes.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian were both defeated by him, and if it weren't for Cao Hong and Zu Mao to save each other, the Three Kingdoms would probably have two less.

That's when it happened.

"My lord, the man you told me to carry grain is here, it is a man, and he is still waiting outside the city." Scout Dubo stepped forward to report.

"Male? Inform the gate guards not to allow the other party to enter the village, and by the way, let Tian Zhong prepare 50,000 loads of grain, transport them out, and close the city gate after the delivery is completed. Lu Chen had a cold face, secretly thinking in his heart.

"Yes, my lord." Scout Dubo retreated.

Lu Chen's face darkened, although Lu Chen didn't know what happened to Lin Ruolan in the grassland, he had already sensed that something was wrong, especially the battle at Xu Rong's gate.

Three hours of fighting.

did not cause huge casualties, but there were still a large number of guards to escort him, which had already made Lu Chen extremely suspicious of the Lin family brothers and sisters.

But Lin Ruolan's simple appearance almost dispelled Lu Chen's suspicions.
