In the morning of the next day, Yang Zheng returned to Bluestone Fort with his men and horses.

When hundreds of long convoys loaded with food and supplies appeared in the valley outside the castle, the spies who were in charge of patrolling the wind outside immediately brought the good news back to the castle.

"The lord of the castle is back with grain!"

"A lot of horses, a lot of food!"

"Now we have food for the winter......"

In an instant, the entire Bluestone Fort was boiling.

Soon, Zhao Tiequan, who was guarding the city tower, immediately ordered someone to open the city gate and led everyone out of the city to greet him.

All of a sudden, the entire bluestone castle inside and outside, rejoicing, cheering and cheering endlessly.

Yang Zheng rode a high-headed horse, walking at the forefront of the chariot and horse team, and from a distance, he clearly saw that Zhao Tiequan, Yang Qian, Liu Shengyuan and other core leaders were waiting at the gate of the city with happy faces, welcoming the grain transportation team into the city.

Before he reached the gate of the city, he saw Liu Shengyuan and others hurrying up to meet him.

Separated by a distance of more than ten meters, Zhao Tiequan laughed heroically and said: "The owner of the village is really extraordinary, and this time he will return with a full load, which will definitely make the people of the city smile." ”

Yang Zheng turned over and dismounted, and under the embrace of everyone like stars and moons, the atmosphere entered the city warmly.

On the way, Yang Qian asked with concern: "Big brother, did this trip to Panlong Town go well?" ”

Yang Zheng shook his head and smiled: "Those guys in Panlong Town, they refused to sell food to us, and they wanted to rob us of our things, so in a fit of anger, I led my brothers to attack Panlong Town at night and emptied the entire Panlong Town......

After listening to the whole process of the night attack on Panlong Town, everyone raised their heads and laughed, and their hearts were very happy.

Zhao Tiequan looked back at the enslavements of Panlong Town, and drove carts of food and materials into the city gate in an endless stream, and immediately breathed a deep sigh of relief, "It's okay now, with so much grain and grass, these people in our city don't have to worry about not being able to survive this winter." ”

Hearing this, Yang Qian also nodded and said: "Conservative estimates, there should be more than 3,000 stone of grain, enough for us to support half a year, the only trouble is that we offended the people of the Qinglong Gang again this time, and it is estimated that in the future, there will be another enemy in this Western Wilderness." ”

"Second brother, there are many things to be afraid of in the Qinglong Gang, they are all a bunch of pus." Yang Meng pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Last night, we attacked Panlong Town, and we took it down almost effortlessly, even if the Qinglong Gang dares to come to Qingshi Fort to make trouble in the future, I will definitely want them to come back and forth." ”

At this time, Liu Shengyuan suddenly spoke: "Zhuang Master, what should I do with those slaves in Panlong Town?" ”

Yang Zheng glanced back and said lightly: "Leave all of them in Bluestone Castle, from today onwards, they will be our people, and when the time comes, Mr. will need to bother a lot and settle them properly." ”

Liu Shengyuan nodded, "I know this. ”

When Zhao Tiequan next to him heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Zhuang Master, if we leave the enslavement of this Qinglong Gang in Bluestone Castle, I'm afraid that something is wrong, right?" ”

"What's wrong, Uncle Zhao said to listen to it."

"Zhuang master, these slaves are all members of the Qinglong Gang, the details are unknown, if they stay in the city, it will be a hidden danger for our city defense, and more importantly, the number of these slaves is nearly 1,000, staying in the Qingshi Fort will increase our food consumption, and if this continues, the food we get this time will not be able to support a few months."

Zhao Tiequan's worries were not unreasonable, but Yang Zheng also had his own plans and intentions, and immediately reassured: "Uncle Zhao, I know that you are thinking about everyone, but in order to survive here for a long time, you must have sufficient manpower." ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Shengyuan also nodded in agreement: "What the owner said is right, there are too few people in our Bluestone Fort, if the Khitans and the Qinglong Gang come to attack in the future, once the battle is scorching and fierce, there will definitely be a large number of casualties, and if there is no replenishment of troops, it will be difficult for the Bluestone Fort to develop for a long time." ”

Hearing them say this, Zhao Tiequan lowered his head and muttered for a moment, "I'm still not worried about these people in Panlong Town, so I have to send someone to keep an eye on it." ”

Yang Zheng nodded and said: "That's right, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and when the time comes, let's discuss it carefully and see how to settle these enslavements of the Blue Dragon Gang." ”

Hundreds of truckloads of grain and grass materials entered the city, and the city was instantly busy.

It took more than an hour for everyone to store these food supplies properly.

After a simple lunch, Yang Zheng took a group of leaders to board the city defense of Bluestone Castle.

Today's sun is very big, and it is warm on everyone's body.

Yang Zheng stood on top of the city tower, looking at the narrow valley in front of him, his eyes flickering, and others couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Liu Shengyuan stood beside Yang Zheng, looked at the narrow and crooked valley road in the distance, and then looked at Yang Zheng who was looking down and thinking, and couldn't help but speak: "Isn't the owner worried about the Khitans?" ”

Yang Zheng nodded, "If nothing else, those Khitans should come to attack in the next few days, and we must be prepared for battle." ”

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, there is something to worry about." Yang Meng said indifferently.

Zhao Tiequan on the side also nodded and said: "Our Bluestone Fort occupies a geographical advantage, the city defense is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with the arms and weapons issued to us by the owner, even if the Khitan number is twice as large as ours, don't want to conquer it." ”

Yang Zheng waved his hand, "Having said that, we can't be careless, you know, how did we break through the Bluestone Fort last time?" ”

Zhao Tiequan was stunned for a moment, and said: "We are different from those Khitans, they are arrogant and ignorant, we won't, as long as Zhao is guarding the city defense, we will definitely not let those rabbit cubs neglect their duties in the city defense." ”

Yang Zheng shook his head and smiled: "I didn't mean that. With Uncle Zhao sticking to the city defense, I believe that we will not repeat the mistakes of the Khitans, but what I think is that no matter what kind of enemy we face, we should not think about going to the battle, and we must exchange the minimum casualty price for the greatest victory. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Tiequan nodded, and extremely agreed with Yang Zheng's statement.

Yang Zheng stood on the city tower, watched the narrow valley road in front of him, and then observed the hillside stone walls on both sides of the valley, and said slowly: "The defense of our bluestone fort can still be strengthened. ”

Everyone followed his gaze and looked at the stone walls on both sides of the hillside, and vaguely understood his intentions.

Suddenly, Yang Qian lowered his head and thought for a while, "Big brother, don't you want to set up rocks and rolling logs on the top of the mountains on both sides of the valley?" ”

Yang Zheng nodded and said: "That's right, you see that outside the bluestone fort, there is only a valley road that is five miles long, if the enemy wants to attack the bluestone fort, there is no other way except to enter from here, if we are on the top of the mountain on both sides of the valley, along the way to deploy a large number of rolling stone traps, we will definitely call the enemy to suffer heavy casualties, dilemma." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all thought that this idea was good.

Zhao Tiequan frowned and said: "If you really want to deploy a trap, you must hurry up, after all, this is a very heavy and huge project, and it will not take a month or two to achieve the effect that the owner just said." ”

Liu Shengyuan also echoed: "Zhao Huyuan is reasonable, it is unrealistic to deploy a large number of rolling stone traps in a short period of time, but in the key and dangerous road sections, the deployment of some rolling stones and rolling logs can play a surprising effect. ”

After hearing the suggestions of the two of them, Yang Zheng nodded, "Then set up a few traps in the middle of the valley first, and then at the entrance of the valley, find a few narrow and dangerous sections, and deploy a few more, the action must be fast, and it is best to deploy it in the next few days." ”

Liu Shengyuan nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away." ”

Just as Liu Shengyuan was about to leave, Yang Zheng suddenly commanded again: "Sir, you will choose some laborers who are proficient in construction for me later, and I am going to choose a narrow section of the valley and build a defensive low wall." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing to build a low wall?" ”

Yang Zheng smiled mysteriously, "I'm going to install two powerful firearms inside the low wall!" ”
