It doesn't work to occupy the mountain as the king, and everyone is reluctant to return to the imperial army. Only by joining the rebel army, Ji Cheng asked their opinions, and it was most suitable to join the rebel army.

"The Qingzhou Righteous Army, the Xuzhou Righteous Army and the Bingzhou Righteous Army are currently the strongest rebels, they all occupy the land of a state, and their reputations are good, I think I will choose from these rebels."

"These rebels are too far away from us, at least they have to pass through a state to reach it, and they will definitely intercept them when they pass through the territory of some rebels, so we have to plan carefully."

"The Rebel Army is the closest to us, but it also needs to pass through the territory of the two rebels to reach it, the strength of these two rebels is only below average, we can go out day and night, maybe we can break out of their defenses."

"Actually, if we give up our horses, it will not be difficult to pass through the territory of the two rebels, and there is no shortage of horses in the state, so we don't need to bring horses over."

"If we were to walk on our own, it would take at least a few months, and with horses to go, we could reach it in half a month at most. It's been a long time, so I don't recommend giving up the horses..."

"If we don't give up the war horse, we must not only consider the interception of the rebels, but also the ambush of the bandits, six horses is a big temptation for the bandits."

One of the important materials for the war is war horses, even the imperial court is lacking, otherwise it will not be infantry against cavalry, so it is still very dangerous to travel thousands of miles with a few horses.

The few people present are not peerless generals, even Ji Cheng himself is only stronger than ordinary people, and they have no money, so it is not easy to raise these war horses.

"Is there a cottage nearby that has average strength but occupies a powerful terrain and has a good reputation?" Ji Cheng thought about it, instead of taking refuge in forces thousands of miles away, it was better to find one recently.

"Big brother, are you playing with bandits?"

"Now the world is so chaotic, although we have been soldiers, we are not fierce generals, is it so easy to walk thousands of miles?" Ji Cheng asked rhetorically.

The others were also silent, indeed, everyone is not a fierce general, just a small soldier, and the weapon is also a standard, and if you meet a second-rate general, you can take them down, so it is really a question whether you can go but merge the state.

"There is an eagle's beak ridge nearby, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the people inside have reached the limit and are no longer recruiting outsiders. It is said that there are more than 30,000 people in it, 6,000 young and strong, and the rest are these young and strong families. ”

"They cultivate their own inside and don't need to buy food outside, so they have little contact with the outside world and don't allow others to come near Hawksbill Ridge. Even if we had horses for them, they wouldn't necessarily accept us. ”

"If we don't try it, we can live a stable life if we can join them. Don't live this kind of life anymore...... "Ji Cheng decided to give it a try, listening to their description, it was a paradise inside, and it was not bad to be able to spend the rest of his life in it.

"Of course we want to if we can, who doesn't want to live a stable life."

It's not that the others haven't thought of joining Eagle's Beak Ridge, it's just that Eagle's Beak Ridge doesn't accept outsiders, and there was once a huge rich man who was willing to give up all his property, but Eagle's Beak Ridge was still unwilling to recruit them, so they didn't say that they would go to Eagle's Beak Ridge, and they didn't say it until Ji Cheng asked about them.

Then Ji Cheng and the others spent a day coming to Eagle's Beak Ridge, and as soon as they approached the entrance, several arrows were shot, and then a human head popped up.

"Don't come any closer, we'll be unwelcome. If you want to join Hawksbill Ridge, I can answer you right now, we Hawksbill Ridge is no longer accepting people, so let's leave quickly. ”

"This big brother, we are not bad people, please give us a chance, you should have guessed that we are deserters when you look at us, we have no way out, as long as you can take us in, let us do anything." Ji Cheng stood up and said.

"Of course I know that you are deserters, these years as a soldier in the imperial court will definitely die if you don't escape, I used to be a soldier in the imperial court, I know the hardships of soldiers, except that it is a problem to fill your stomach during the war, you don't train in peacetime, how can you win if you just give a full meal."

"Big brother, since you know our suffering, you can take us in!"

"It's not that I don't want to take you in, I really can't tolerate it. At the end of the year, there are not a hundred or eighty like you, and if we all take the valley in the Eagle's Beak Ridge, there will be no place to stand. ”

"Big brother, please tell the owner of the village, I can make the space in the valley can be used and accommodate more people, if the owner of the village still doesn't want me to leave immediately."

Although Yingzui Ridge no longer accepts outsiders, but the population is still increasing, and the fields in the valley must not be self-sufficient if it goes on like this, and it is necessary to purchase food, but this chaotic world does not know when it will stop, food is so expensive, how can there be so much money in the village.

So after listening to Ji Cheng's words, he was willing to give it a try.

"You wait, I'll inform the owner of the village."

Then Ji Cheng saw a pigeon fly into the interior of Eagle's Beak Ridge, and flew back after about a quarter of an hour.

"Our lord agreed, but if you can't do it we'll kick you out, and if you can we let you stay."

In this way, Ji Cheng and a few people were brought into the interior of Eagle's Beak Ridge, a two-kilometer-long road, with cliffs on both sides, and a checkpoint at the end of the road, which was difficult to capture with only a few dozen people guarding here.

Compared to the outside level, this is the most difficult level to overcome, there is a river after the level, there is a small bridge, and there is a big suspension bridge next door, it is really not so easy to conquer here.

I don't know how many lives it will take to conquer a few levels, so no force is willing to sacrifice so many people to occupy this place, except for the internal collapse.

After entering the valley, they did not take Ji Cheng to see the owner of the village, but took Ji Cheng to see the open space in the valley that was not used, but only looked at a part, it was already dark, and several people in Ji Cheng were arranged to rest in a small courtyard, and there was only one bowl of porridge for dinner, and Ji Cheng and several people were not picky.

The next day, someone took Ji Cheng and a few people to see the unusable open space in the valley, and they didn't finish reading it until nightfall. Ji Cheng finally saw the owner of the village, who was full of white hair, but he was in good spirits.

"Tell me, what are we going to do with those heights?"

"You can also grow food in the highlands, you just need to make a waterwheel."

In the past, it was impossible to use the highlands because of irrigation problems, and it was not used to build houses. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Reopening Hell: The Rise of the Ten Thousand Worlds Claw Book House" to read it for free for the first time.
