Yang Jie stood on the treetops, holding a hard crossbow, aiming at a Yue man standing in front of the gate of the village in the distance.

The crossbow arrow flew out and accurately pierced the Yue people's left eye. The huge impact force made Yue Ren take several steps back, and the sharp arrow pierced into the wooden gate with a "bang", nailing his whole person firmly to it.

The Yueren village suddenly became chaotic. Dozens of Yue barbarians armed with leather shields and short knives rushed out, but they were killed by a rain of arrows from the soldiers of the Xuanhuo Army who had been prepared for a long time here. The corpses stood or lay in various strange postures.

For more than a year, several children of the Yang family, including Yang Jie, passed the training. Yang Jie and Yang Hu are the two best performers. Especially Yang Jie, who has become a team officer.

From the very beginning, Yang Tianhong did not implement any defensive plan against the Yue barbarians at all. Despite repeated dissuasion by Cao Hui and others, Yang Tianhong still used Jiping County, the southernmost county in Anzhou, as a base, and continuously sent troops to attack the surrounding Yue spheres of influence.

Jiping is a very small county seat. Over the years, it has been the first target of the Vietnamese after entering the country. After years of war, Jiping County was dilapidated, and the people fled and died. After Yang Tianhong became the ruler of Anzhou, there were only more than 600 people left in Jiping County, and there was no talk of urban defense and development at all.

According to Yang Tianhong's order, the Xuanhuo Legion stationed a full 20,000 people in Jiping.

The size of the Caixian terminal has quadrupled compared to the original. The shipyard's new giant ships have begun to lay keels, and the fleet under the command of the Dongfang family and the Gao family has more than doubled. Yang Tong was responsible for the formation of the naval army, and also owned more than 60 ships, large and small. Maritime traffic between Anzhou and Fuzhou is getting closer and closer. Within a year, as many as tens of thousands of northern refugees flooded into Anzhou, and the population of Jiping County also rebounded to more than 6,000. New fortifications are being built, with the Xuanhuo Legion garrison as the core, and the entire Jiping will be built into a frontier fortress against the Yue barbarians.

There is a stable and sufficient logistical support. The Xuanhuo Legion gradually launched a continuous offensive against the Yue.

There were no more Yue soldiers in the stockade. Yang Jie put the bow and crossbow on his back, drew his saber with his backhand, bent over, and ran towards the open gate.

This is a typical small Yue village. As early as a few months ago, the scouts had checked the number of Yue people in the village: forty-eight men and sixty-one women. There were also thirty-seven old people, and twenty-two children.

In front and behind, more than 40 Yue soldiers were shot by bows and arrows. The three walled gates were besieged by Xuanhuo officers and soldiers. These barbarians didn't know the art of war at all, and they didn't know how to deal with the soldiers of the Xuanhuo Army besieging the cottage. By the time Yang Jie led his team to rush into the stockade, the battle was almost over.

The Yue people scattered and fled.

Yang Jie found a young woman hiding in the barn. He didn't think about it, he raised the steel knife and slashed down. Avoiding the blood gushing from the broken neck, he bent down to pick up the head that had fallen to the ground and strode out of the barn.

The Xuanhuo Army recorded merit with heads. Of course, there is such a thing as picking up human heads. This should only be done when it is safe to do so. Even if he was busy fighting, there was a special logistics staff in charge of the points.

In the open space in the center of the stockade, hundreds of human heads were piled up into a hill. Soldiers armed with torches walked through the huts, and the whole village soon burst into flames. The Yue barbarians who surrendered knelt on the ground and begged repeatedly, but their heads were cut off one by one. The marching Sima inspected the head of the person without any problem, and the two soldiers behind him quickly cut off the left ear of the person's head and put it in a bag. This is a war exploit that must be brought back to Anzhou and handed over to the higher-level military justice department for counting, and there must be no mistakes.

More than a dozen naked Yue children were driven into a hut. The soldiers nailed the door to the house with heavy, thick planks. The steps of the corridor were sprinkled with oil and a few torches were thrown on the roof. Immediately, a burst of flames soared into the sky. Screams and cries rang out.

The first time he did this kind of thing, Yang Jie couldn't do it anyway.

It was a Yue Ren child who was eight years old at most. His mother was stabbed to death by a soldier of the Xuanhuo Army, and before she died, the woman begged to spare the child. The soldier, whose hands were covered in blood, was expressionless, and with a backhand slash he slashed the child's head.

Yang Jie was furious at that time. Roaring to stop the atrocity. Several soldiers standing nearby swarmed over, grabbed his hands and feet, and pinned him to the ground. Although Yang Jie was powerful, he could only be pressed there and watched the soldiers one after another. Kill all the Yue people and children in the village.

In the end, it was the team officer at that time who came to relieve the siege.

"You have to understand that Anju is no better than anywhere else. You are here for the first time, and you have not seen the tragic situation caused by the entry of Vietnamese people before. Let's talk about Jiping County! More than a dozen county commanders have been killed here in succession, and more than tens of thousands of people have been taken captive by the Yue. The Yue people are different from Rong Di, they are savage by nature and like to eat human flesh. We take our people away just to be used as fresh meat. Do you think that these Yue children can be educated? Lord Thorn Shi Cao had a similar idea, but unfortunately never succeeded. In the early years, Lord Cao raised a six-year-old Yue people's child. He didn't obey discipline at all, bit the throat of the servant who delivered the meal, and made trouble in the assassin's mansion, and was finally killed by the night guard. Since then, no one has mentioned anything about educating the Yue people. ”

Yang Jie instinctively thought that the team officer was lying. Until the team officer took him into the largest house in the Yue Ren village. It belonged to the Yue village chief. Next to the firewood pile, there are hundreds of human skulls of Bai Sensen. There were clearly visible tooth marks on the bones, and a considerable number of clothes, jewelry, and so on of the people of Chu were also found in the thatched hut.

Everyone has a first time. The team officer pushed a Yue Ren child in front of Yang Jie, Yang Jie picked up the knife, with the fierceness and ferocity of a beast, and after slashing the child's upper body, he felt that he had also become a beast, and it was the most ferocious kind.

The Xuanhuo Legion has an iron rule that no one can violate: no matter what the circumstances, not a single Yue is taken prisoner.

There have been several instances of violence against Vietnamese women by soldiers. The military judge hanged all the soldiers involved, and the bodies were hung high in front of the barracks. Their mistake lies not in the tyranny itself, but in finding the wrong person to vent to. The military judge repeatedly ordered that no one should have any relationship with the Yue barbarians, as such behavior could cause blood confusion and could also cause unknown deadly diseases. Therefore, even the most meritorious officers. Anyone who violates this decree will surely die.

Anju did not need to plunder the Yue barbarians to enrich the population. A barbarian is a barbarian, and after being indoctrinated, he still can't get rid of his original temperament. For these Yue people, the best way is to leave them all behind.

There is a sentence in the Xuanhuo Legion that Yang Tianhong said: "Only the dead Yue people are the best Yue people." ”

For this position and identity far more than his cousin of the same kind. Yang Jie's mentality is also gradually changing. When they first met, Yang Jie still had a little bit of superiority over Yang Tianhong. At that time, both of them were Jingying camp officials. Yang Jie's patrol battalion was larger and more numerous than the Xuanhuo Battalion at that time. It's just that I didn't expect that Yang Tianhong would accumulate combat exploits step by step and upgrade layer by layer. First, there were bandits in Luoping Mountain, and then there were barbarians in southern Xinjiang. By now, he is already the general of Pingnan in the imperial court and the envoy of Anzhou Jiedu. The perseverance of 3,000 households in the food town.

By the standards of another world, this is a successful person in the truest sense of the word.

Yang Jie is a smart person. He knew very well that if he continued to stay in the Beijing Division and continue to stay in the original patrol battalion as a battalion officer, he would never get the opportunity to be promoted.

A man's exploits and identities need to be fought out little by little on the battlefield with steel and blood.

The officer who commanded ten soldiers was completely different from the battalion officer who commanded thousands of men in the past. However, here Yang Jie feels like a fish in water. Especially to kill those Yue people. There is no psychological burden at all, and it is not a presumption. Yang Jie thinks. This is the life that a man really deserves.

In addition to Yang Hu, there are more than a dozen people from the Yang family who came with him. What other people think, Yang Jie doesn't know very well, and he doesn't want to care. Now, the Xuanhuo Legion has long been run by Yang Tianhong. Don't say it's a spy, even if a fly wants to fly in, it's very difficult. Don't even think about the idea of replacing it. Only such an environment is truly suitable for the growth of the children of the Yang family. The reason why Grandpa Tai asked himself and other family members to follow Yang Tianhong to Southern Xinjiang was to exercise. Get more family talent.

Yang Jie knew that a large amount of resources in Guangping Hou was tilting towards Yang Tianhong's side. Grandfather Yang Rong also had his own relationship in the Ministry of War, and the grain and grass were also continuously transported to Anzhou through the Ministry of War. Of course, Yang Tianhong has his own channels for purchasing and transporting materials, and maybe the little things allocated by the Ministry of War can't get into his eyes at all. But no matter what, this is an attitude of grandpa Yang Rong. In addition to wanting to revive the family, there may also be guilt for Yang Jing, the hussar general back then.

Flames rose into the air, and all the huts were set on fire. Yang Jie led the soldiers and stabbed them with knives on the corpses of the Yue people who had been killed. One is to prevent the missing Yue people from living, and the other is to poison them. When the corpse was cut, the poison prepared in advance was sprinkled into the corpse. The Yue people have always had the habit of eating the dead. Whether they are of the same clan or as an enemy, as long as they die, it is food in their eyes. According to the scientific point of view of another world, this should be a defective part of the incomplete evolution. In a way, it is also caused by the lack of food for the Yue people.

The farming techniques of the barbarians remained in a state of utter ignorance. Deep ploughing, fine cultivation, ditching, fertilization...... These farming techniques, which were well known and widely used by the farmers of the Chu State thousands of years ago, are tantamount to heavenly books in the eyes of the Yue barbarians. The yield of crops of the Yue people is extremely low, and although there are vast plains south of Anzhou and fertile soil, the grain and rice production of the Yue people has not been able to rise. Moreover, the Yue people also have extremely strange customs. That is, the adult man has a noble status and never goes down to the field to cultivate. In the family unit, all chores are done by women. Because of this, the Yue society has produced an extremely chaotic marriage system. On the one hand, a man can marry as many women as he wants. On the other hand, the inferior status of women also leads them to become the first victims to be abandoned in the daily strife. Over time, the number of men in the Yue ethnic group has increased, and the gender ratio is extremely unbalanced. If it weren't for entering the country of Kochu every year, a part of the Yue men would definitely be consumed, and even if there was no threat such as war or natural disasters, the Yue people would fall into chaos.

The fire has burned. Yang Jie and a few soldiers stayed at the end, looking around with vigilant eyes, and after making sure that there were no omissions, they closed the gate of the wall, and let it turn into a monstrous sea of fire.

Anju is rich in thermal oil. It's amazing, it's buried in the ground. The color is similar to thick ink. The Jiedu embassy has listed fire oil as an important strategic material. Every time the Xuanhuo Legion goes out, it has to carry a considerable amount of fire oil. In the words of a superior officer: as long as you bring this kind of thing, you will have a better chance of winning.

In the col there is a large flat area with crops scattered around. There is a lot of water here, and even in the mountains, rice can be grown. Yang Jie plucked an unripe rice plant from the ground. I looked at it carefully, shook my head and let go and threw it away.

Barbarians are barbarians, they seem to just throw the seeds into the ground and then do nothing, sitting there waiting for the harvest. It is also that this land is really fertile, and the wind and rain are smooth, otherwise, these barbarians probably don't even know how to starve to death.

Yang Jie looked at the sparse rice in the world and shook his head again and again: "It's a pity." Such a good water for watering the land, in Dachu, it is at least ten taels of silver to buy one acre. It's just wasted. It's a pity that there is no one to cultivate. ”

Just as the battalion officer leader passed by, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily. It has been incorporated into the jurisdiction of Jiping County by the Jiedu Embassy. In a little while, we will be heading south, where everything will be left to the civil officials. I heard that there is a great drought in the north this year, and the Hou Ye has allocated manpower. Bring the homeless people over there. When the time comes, all the fields here will be distributed. Don't worry about no one farming. ”

......

Chu State, Fuzhou.

Much has changed here. With the wharf as the core, a tower of varying heights was built. If you look at it from the air, you will find that the towers are very regularly distributed, all of which form a semicircle with the pier as the core. Thereinto. The largest and most sturdy-looking tower is about 80 meters high. While the eaves and surrounding trees are beautiful, they do not obscure the tower's largely military use.

The tower has perforations, a female wall, and various defenses against emergencies. Even such a thing as a heavy ballista is equipped. Of course. All weapons and heavy equipment are to be stored in a room adjacent to the location and are under the supervision of a special person. If an unknown person dares to approach, he will be killed on the spot without any reason.

The first wall has been completed. Surrounding the core towers, the city wall wraps the entire Fuzhou like an iron wall. This style of architecture is equivalent to the "castle tower" of Japanese architecture in another world. It should be admitted that its defense is excellent, especially if there are enough guards to inflict great damage on attackers.

According to the design drawing, the entire inner and outer city walls of Fuzhou are divided into three routes. The location of the second and third walls has been surveyed. Standing at the top of the tower, you can see puffs of smoke rising from the hill outside the city. That's where the brick kiln is. Of course, the best material for building a city is stone, but the excavation of mountain rocks is huge and expensive. In contrast, bricks are not as strong as rocks, but they are not much better.

Burning bricks is not a high-tech thing, and the Great Chu State began to use this building material many years ago. However, the whole process of firing bricks in Fuzhou is very special, which is a secret that belongs to Yang Tianhong. Not only is it easy to operate, but the hardness and strength of the fired bricks are better than other similar products. Each brick kiln was guarded with a large number of personnel. The brick-burners were also displaced people from the north. According to the normal situation, these brick-burning workers are replaced every six months, and all of them are transported to Anzhou. This is also the reason why the displaced people work honestly and with peace of mind. Fuzhou officials promised them that as long as they completed the construction work here, they would go to Anzhou and get a piece of land of their own.

For the people, this is the greatest temptation.

Emperor Shunming has issued an edict: Fuzhou has truly become the fief of Princess Wenyuan.

It's not as desolate as it seems. The change began after Emperor Shunming issued an edict. A large number of displaced people gathered in Fuzhou, and the fleet of the Dongfang family and the Gao family brought a large number of materials and food, and loaded the displaced people gathered here on ships in batches. This is a repetitive and monotonous process, but it is of great significance to Anzhou and Fuzhou.

......

Guiyuan Zong, Houtu Palace.

When he got up in the morning, Fang Yiyuan, as usual, walked towards the cliff in the back mountain. The scenery is good, with mountain streams and dense forests. What's even better is that there is a branch of the spiritual vein under the seat of the Houtu Hall here, although it is very small, but it continuously permeates the spiritual energy, and for cultivators, there is no more suitable environment than here.

Only those who have successfully built the foundation are qualified to come to this cliff. As far as the eye can see, there is a person every few meters on the edge of the cliff. They are all Fang Yiyuan's brothers and know each other. Few people spoke, and when they met, they only smiled or nodded slightly, and then they were silent, completely immersed in the subtleties of heaven and earth.

There are still too many people.

Fang Yiyuan sighed slightly in his heart, shook his head secretly, and turned around and walked away.

When there are more people, the aura becomes thinner. Don't say that it is normal breathing, I am afraid that the air inhaled into the body will carry the filthy ingredients that others spit out of the lungs. (To be continued.) )
