It's not interesting, it's just meaningful, and the safety of Black Iron City depends on you. Saying that, the housekeeper left, Shu Han looked at the box of jewels in his hand, and said in his heart Could it be that this is a bribe, realizing this, Shu Han was ready to catch up with the housekeeper and return the things, but was stopped by Chang Ke on the side.

"Lord Director, it's better for you to take this thing." Chang Ke said.

"Why? Changke, this thing is not mine, I didn't do this for money, I have to accept this money, how will I be a person in the future. Although Shu Han has grown up a lot after experiencing the cruelty of this world, if he accepts this money, he will become a corrupt person, which he will never accept, which violates his moral bottom line.

"My lord, only if you accept this money, you are their own person, they dare to rest assured that part of the city defense of Black Iron City will be handed over to you, if you don't accept this money, your morality is flawless, but who wants to hand over their safety to a person who has no shortcomings?" Chang Ke's words made Shu Han a little speechless.

"But isn't it embezzlement to accept this money? I can't do that. Shu Han said.

"It's simple, you exchange the contents of this box for money, and then when the soldiers make meritorious contributions, you can send this money down, and do it in the name of the city government, just say that this money is a reward from the families to them, so that it is not considered corruption, and at the same time, you can gain the collective trust of the families of the Black Iron City." Chang Ke immediately came up with a good solution.

Shu Han couldn't help but nod when he heard this, looked at the jewelry in the box in front of him, and said in his heart Forget it, it should be regarded as an expedient measure, he said to Chang Ke; "Okay, but this box will be put on you for the time being, and you will be troubled to do the conversion into gold coins, I will put this money here, I am not sure."

"Yes." Chang Ke stopped talking, put the box away, looked at Shu Han's eyes changed slightly, and then several people from the family came over to send gold and silver treasures, Shu Han accepted them all after a while, and when the materials were opened, Shu Han's gift boxes had reached seventeen, and the value of the property in them totaled about three thousand gold coins, which was equivalent to about 300,000 yuan, such a large amount of income fell directly into Shu Han's hands, which was equivalent to half a year's salary.

Has Shu Han ever been tempted in his heart? It must be false to say that there is no, but fortunately, he has not been completely corrupted by this society, and finally handed over all the money to Chang Ke's hands, and then went to the barracks with supplies, and in the following time, Shu Han stayed in the barracks almost all of the time, eating and living with the soldiers, and even training together.

The current crisis is coming, although he has a gun in his hand, which is much safer than others, but in the face of a large army, it is safer to stay with the army, plus the gun in his hand itself has limited bullets, and if the bullets run out at that time, he still has to rely on his body to fight the enemy.

What's more, his body is too weak, when he was in the mining area, there was still physical work that allowed him to exercise and exercise, and after the Black Iron City, almost all the time was in the office, although the food was much better than before, and the people were whiter, but the body was full of fat and fat, and the muscles were very small, which made Shu Han very dissatisfied, taking advantage of the time of life in the barracks, eating and living with the soldiers, but also let him be reborn, and at the same time, the most gratifying thing for Shu Han was that when he slept at night, I often wake up with leg cramps.

This familiar feeling, Shu Han has been looking forward to it for a long time, this is a sign of growing taller, now Shu Han every day in addition to daily training and meetings with his subordinates, his favorite thing to do is to let Chang Ke or Zhang Song take a ruler to measure his height, although the height that grows every day is negligible, but Shu Han is tired every day.

While Shu Han kept training, the war between the army in front of Black Iron City and the Feather People tribe fell into a strange period of calm, since Black Iron City sent all the troops to the front line, the Feather People tribe no longer focused on attack as before, but relied on fortifications and began to fight positional warfare with Black Iron City.

This is obviously a headache for the soldiers of Black Iron City, although now the army of Black Iron City has gathered around more than four thousand people, plus those temporarily recruited soldiers, there are about five thousand seven hundred people, in this era, this is definitely a rare army, with such an army, in terms of strength, it has completely surpassed the Feather People Tribe.

And the leaders of the Feather People tribe obviously saw this, so they changed their battle strategy, not giving the people of Black Iron City a chance to decide the victory or defeat, but to delay and wait for change, anyway, now it is almost winter, the winter of Black Iron City is different from modern times, the temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero, in the absence of heating, is enough to freeze people's flesh and blood.

And the feathered people have the thick feathers of birds, which can survive the winter, they are gambling, betting that the people of the Black Iron City will not be able to survive this winter, and when it snows in winter, the army of the Black Iron City will inevitably retreat and return to the Black Iron City to spend the winter, and at that time, they will be safe.

In the face of the Feather Tribe's shrinkage strategy, Black Iron City naturally changed its strategy, dispersed the originally concentrated army, divided it into four parts to encircle the entire Feather Tribe camp, and then began to fight positional battles, breaking through one fortress after another, it seemed to be very orderly, with the superior strength in hand, it made the Feather People suffer a little.

And soon the Yuren also began to change their strategy, giving up some inconsequential fortresses and temporary fortresses, and began to concentrate their forces on key fortresses, in short, they put on a look of consuming with the Black Iron City, and the Black Iron City naturally continued to attack without rain on the surface, but as the commander of the Black Iron City, Liu Sanyi was about to be unable to hold on.

An army of 5,700 people, fighting thirty kilometers away from the Black Iron City, had to transport a huge amount of supplies to this camp every day, these people did not produce, could not generate profits, and after every battle, it was a huge consumption, bows and arrows, projectiles, human lives, etc., and after these resources were thrown, they got very limited.

Although the feather people are very backward in science and technology, they are very firm in their will to fight, after the Black Iron City broke through the camp, almost none of the feather people are alive, and those who are very seriously injured are often self-defeating after seeing the fortress breached, so the Black Iron City has almost no benefits except for getting a large piece of useless mountainous land.

But the efforts of the Black Iron City are multiplying day by day, especially now, there is less than a month to go into winter, a large area of vegetation in the vast forest has withered yellow, you can even see a trace of water vapor condensed into ice in the air, the temperature is constantly dropping, and it will soon drop to a temperature that humans can't stand, at that time, it is necessary to prepare a lot of winter clothes to let the soldiers survive this winter.

But where is there so many winter clothes in the Black Iron City, the land around the Black Iron City does not produce cotton, and there is no large amount of animal husbandry as a support for the processing of fur, most people spend the winter, all rely on a righteous spirit, plus their own house, by burning charcoal, that is, similar to the way the Northeast people spend the winter, the door does not go out, the second door does not step, and the way of nesting winter to survive the winter that is getting colder and colder year by year.

Now, they can't wait for the winter to pass quietly at home, but in the wild, and still in the mountains, such a thing is definitely not easy to survive, if the war continues, Black Iron City must face greater losses, for this reason, Liu Sanyi has ordered the soldiers to go deep into the forest, capture wild beasts to obtain their fur, but because Black Iron City itself has no experience in large-scale animal husbandry.

Therefore, as a derivative product of animal husbandry, the technology of fur processing is also very backward, the tanning technology is very rough, the fur coat produced, the warmth is OK, but a smell is enough to make people stay away, and at the same time the large-scale hunting of wild beasts, but also let the soldiers of the Black Iron City suffer a lot of casualties, these beasts will not be there waiting for you to catch it, they will run, will escape, and even fight back.

As the commander of the whole army, the pressure on Liu Sanyi can be imagined, the current war has been going on for more than half a month, and there are only six remaining in the outer cottages of the Yuren tribe, as long as these six are removed, you can attack the most central village of the Yuren tribe.

There are a large number of old and weak women and children of the Yuren tribe, as long as they capture this big village, then the Yuren tribe will no longer have the power to resist, this is undoubtedly a good news, and it is also the reason why Liu Sanyi continues to persevere, now, he is sitting in his tent, in front of him is a copper charcoal stove, which burns coal, bringing the power of warmth, Liu Sanyi stretched out his hand and put it on it, and his whole body was as close to the flame as possible, so that his body warmed up a little.

Although as a Skywalker, his physical fitness is much better than most people, but Liu Sanyi is fifty-seven years old after all, in this era, he can definitely be called an old man, in the words of Confucius, fifty knows the destiny of heaven, sixty ears are obedient, at this age, even the best body is riddled with all kinds of problems.

What's more, Liu Sanyi marched to fight, and there were countless problems on his body, without this fire, winter was really difficult for him, and as the patriarch of the largest family in Black Iron City, he had to be stationed here, waiting for the victory of the war.

Yes, Liu Sanyi is not only the president of the army in Black Iron City, but also the head of the Liu family, the largest family in Black Iron City, as the patriarch of the first family, Liu Sanyi naturally has the responsibility to ensure that his family, after he leaves, still occupies the first position, and this war is extremely important to Liu Sanyi.

As long as this war can be won, then Liu Sanyi, as the commander-in-chief, will be in charge of the entire Black Iron City, and the Liu family behind him will also be able to continue to occupy the first position, and if this war fails, then what awaits the Liu family is probably the liquidation after the war, which is absolutely impossible for Liu Sanyi to accept.

Therefore, even if his eldest son hopes that he can stay in Black Iron City for retirement, Liu Sanyi has always dragged his tired body and came to the front line to personally command the battle, but although he is nominally the commander-in-chief of the whole army, he is old after all, just coming to the front line is already doing his best, and the work of army arrangement is naturally not able to do, so these jobs are now done by his three sons, and it is precisely because of this that he can still bake a fire here in such a busy state that the army is so busy, Instead of non-stop meetings.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from outside the camp, Liu Sanyi didn't look up, looked at the brazier and said, "Second brother, the pace is too fast." With Liu Sanyi's words, the footsteps outside the curtain suddenly shrank, and then a pair of big hands reached into the tent and opened the door curtain.

"Dad, something's wrong." Liu Zedong laughed twice, and then said, Liu Zedong is still very afraid of his father, he is the youngest of all the children, but he has not been favored by Liu Sanyi, after all, these children are not Liu Sanyi's own children, they are all brought back from the nursing home, and they are already twelve or thirteen years old when they come, how can they be so close.

In addition, Liu Sanyi has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has a general's temper, and he is used to being arrogant, even if he teaches children, it is the same, not to mention that he stays in the barracks all the year round, and where does he get the time to get along with his family more, so for these children, they are often cultivated in the way of soldiers, and over the years, when the children look at Liu Sanyi, they are more from the perspective of their bosses, rather than a father.

"Tell the story." Liu Sanyi didn't raise his eyes, and said directly, Liu Zedong on the side didn't dare to delay and hurriedly said: "The news from the Black Iron City that the northern wolf clan has moved, and they hope that some of the soldiers can come back to help in response." “

"There are no soldiers for them, let them gather in the city by themselves to defend themselves, didn't the descendants of the Zhang family form an army, it is not possible to fight in the wild, it is always okay to guard the city gate." Liu Sanyi frowned and said, he knew that as the army was drawn out, the forces around Black Iron City would inevitably be impatient and rush up one by one.

"Yes." Liu Zedong didn't dare to refute, so he hurriedly walked out, but was suddenly stopped by Liu Sanyi, and he said: "You go and tell Yang Wangdi of Black Iron City, give me another month, this war will definitely end, let him support it, as long as this war can be won, I will ensure that his son takes over his class." “
