There was a burst of laughter from Chaohu River, and Jia Nian and Guo Dapang were out of breath laughing.

"If Zhao Ergou knew what you just said, I guess he would fight with you" After the two finished laughing, Jia Nian said slowly.

Guo Da Fat pursed his mouth: "He thought that our goal was to be young and strong, but he didn't know that what we really needed was the old and weak, women and children."

"I thought I had taken a big advantage, but when the time came, it was not empty," Guo Dapang sighed.

There is a difference between having a strategist and not having a strategist is really the difference between heaven and earth, if it weren't for Liu Ye's words, maybe he would be annoyed by Qingzhuang.

"Using the materials of the white sail water thieves to raise soldiers, how do I feel a little unreliable" Guo Dapang sighed and asked Jia Nian.

Jia Nian fell into deep thought: "It should be reasonable"

"I don't think so," Guo Dapang rarely used his brain.

Then the conversation changed: "If you are the big boss of the White Sail Water Thieves, will you take out the elite troops at hand and send them to die?" You know, that's his lifeline."

"As long as you preserve the combat effectiveness of your own soldiers and horses, wouldn't it be easy to suppress those hundreds of young and strong" Guo Dapang showed a puzzled look: "I think, maybe the bamboo basket will be empty."

"Once the war spreads, sometimes if you want to keep the elite, it's also a fool's dream," Jia Nian replied in a firm tone.

Guo Dapang asked rhetorically: "The master of the Baifan water thief is the master of the water village, and it is just a matter of one sentence if he wants non-descendant soldiers and horses to block the knife in front." It's not as hard as you say."

"People's hearts," Jia Nian said meaningfully, and then added: "Can't we do something in the back?" ”

Listening to Jia Nian's reply, Guo Dapang was stunned: "We? ”

"A bottle of ink can blacken a glass of water, but what if you replace it with a vat or a river?" Jia Nian asked rhetorically.

Guo Dapang patted his thigh: "That is to say, speed up the purchase of refugees, and let Baifan Water Village keep accepting more refugees"

"It's not right" Speaking of this, Guo Dapang seemed to think of something, Guo Dapang continued: "Time, what if the white sail water thieves completely digest these young people? Will they die to be water thieves?"

"The old and weak, women and children are in our hands," Jia Nian reminded meaningfully.

Guo Dapang didn't answer, but just fell into thought: "This behavior of the white sail thief is not considered to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot"

"No, it's just short-sighted," Jia Nian replied with a smile.

The eyes of the two looked to the other side, looking around at Changhe Village below, where a group of children were scurrying around.

"Here, here, you can't catch me"

"Wrong, I'm in this haystack"

"Hahaha, you're in the wrong place again"

"Da Niu, you are so stupid, you haven't found us yet"

The sound of chirping sounded in my ears, followed by a deep voice.

"Give me all back, don't run to the riverbank if you have nothing to do at a young age"

Listening to this voice, the children all shrunk their necks, revealing a look of fear. Without thinking, he took a quick step and ran quickly in the direction of the village.

Jia Nian and Guo Dapang looked at this scene, and they both showed knowing smiles, and the breath of happiness quietly spread.

"Let's go, let's go back" Guo Dapang waved his hand, and without waiting for Jia Nian to reply, he strode under the river embankment.

Although the conversation was interrupted, my heart was extremely comfortable.

Jia Nian saw Guo Dapang's back slowly leaving, and followed without thinking.

……

In Changhe Village, outside three thatched houses, a group of elderly people stood in a row. Then came sound after voice, and hurried footsteps.

"How's the tent setting going?"

"The tent in front of me was completely dismantled and moved to the place I designated"

"The wasteland that needs to be reclaimed will be quickly measured for me, about how many ploughing cattle are needed, and you can give a specific number as soon as possible."

"Have you removed the weeds from the north? Hopefully you guys can sort it out."

"Is hot water ready or something? Don't panic when a large number of refugees come."

"What about the grain? Bring out all the food for me, and don't forget the iron pots."

"Have you delivered food to those who built the blacksmith's shop? Slightly faster and we were pressed for time"

The crowd replied loudly at these voices, and then walked around.

When the last old man left, Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, just in time to see two figures with smiles on their faces.

"It's hard work," Jia Nian said gratefully.

Liu Ye rubbed his forehead slightly tiredly: "The time to be really busy hasn't come yet, and it's not hard now."

"What happened to the purchase of refugees?" Liu Ye asked Jia Nian and Guo Dapang.

Guo Dapang smiled: "Aren't we going out to catch it?" ”

"That is, everything is going well?" When Liu Ye heard this, his spirit couldn't help but be shocked.

Jia Nian nodded, looking around: "What about Liu Bi?" Why is Liu Bi not by your side?"

"I asked him to go to Shouchun to find Zijing to borrow money," Liu Ye replied casually.

Guo Dapang felt that this name was a little familiar, and touched the back of his head: "Who is this Zijing?" He has so much money? ”

"Although money is important, it is far from being convenient for material things directly, so you can rest assured," Liu Ye said in a firm tone.

There was a meaningful smile in his eyes, as if he deliberately and unintentionally diverted the topic: "Baifan Water Village is short-sighted, and it actually sells so many refugees in one go"

"It's a pity, it's a pity, I ended up making a wedding dress for others" Liu Ye sighed deliberately, and there was some regret in his tone.

Jia Nian replied without thinking: "If they weren't short-sighted, how could our Changhe Village have a chance to develop?" ”

"I hope they are more short-sighted," Guo Dapang also took the opportunity to interject.

Liu Ye laughed: "Although they are short-sighted, they are also a little clever. So the most important thing we need to do now is to wait for the right moment to face the crisis that is coming."

"No, we have more important things to do now," Jia Nian reached out and took out the drawings.

Looking at the drawings that Jia Nian took out, Liu Ye couldn't help but be stunned, and then gasped: "I didn't expect this thief to have a city wall blueprint."

"Where is this white sail water thief, it's obviously a stupid thief" Liu Ye exclaimed, his eyes seemed to be flashing.

Sleepiness meets pillow, maybe that's what I'm talking about.

Guo Dapang thought so.

With the city wall, Changhe Village will have a safe guarantee, and the villagers' sense of belonging will also be rapidly improved.

Especially at this moment of imminent crisis, in a way, it is even more reassuring than hundreds of elite soldiers.

When the time comes, as soon as the city gate is closed, a hundred soldiers will be ready to resist for a while.

Whether it is the white sail water thieves coming to help, or sending people to the county government for help, it is a good choice.

Even if it is too defensive and does not send troops, it is at least a deterrent and makes potential enemies more worried.
