Originally, I was still worried about how to find the old hermit, but I didn't expect that the old man took the initiative to find the door early the next morning!

The old man held his beard and smiled, and said very excitedly: "The little boy is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, he has only been away for a month, and he can return to the valley with 100,000 people, he is really a genius in the world!"

I sighed sadly: "The old-timers made fun of us, we are really helpless to flee here because of our crimes!"

The old man laughed and said, "Hahaha! In the past, we only talked freely about ideals, but now we can put them into action, this is the will of heaven! No matter what you call to escape, when you come to this valley, you will find a place to stay! The old man once said that as long as the exit is strictly fortified, it is expected that his imperial army will not be able to attack!"

I looked up at him and said slowly: "But the imperial court has 100,000 troops, what if a large army is sent to attack?"

The old man shook his head and smiled: "No, how can the imperial court make a big move because of a small handful of fugitives, don't worry, this place is all in the mountains, and the imperial court won't care too much about it!"

I hope that the old man is right, and then I beg him to share the worries of all the people, and let him take charge of the matter of settling the people, and forming a defense and garrison at the mountain pass!

The old man did not refuse, gladly accepted the task, went to the crowd to select helpers, and began to get busy day and night!

I think he should have a lot of talent in governance and military affairs, and it can be seen from what he wanted to give away last time that a person who can write good policies for governing the country and has an extraordinary sword must be a civil and military all-rounder!

The old man has developed many rules and strategies, and he will often bring them to me for approval, after all, I brought these people here, and he obviously has to ask for my permission for everything!

I don't know why these people have such respect for me as a child, as if I were the leader of all!

I said to the old man, suspicious people do not need to be suspicious, since the matter is entrusted to you, you can rest assured to do it boldly, do not need to ask me for everything! The old man was very moved by this, he seemed to have found an opportunity to exert his strength, in the following things he worked very hard, everything was handled very well!

The trees on the mountain were cut down in large numbers, countless lands were dug up, arable land began to appear in patches, people's houses were built one after another, and a large village began to gradually form!

The brine salt on the south side has also begun to be slowly mined, and the iron ore on the north side has also been transported back to the valley to start burning and tempering, in this self-sufficient valley, the people have finally found a way to survive, and they should be able to survive here!

However, the most worrying thing is that the people of the imperial court have discovered that we have fled here, and there are already many patrols of the imperial court who have come to investigate the location of the mountain pass, but they have not found that the army is attacking for the time being!

However, I am very vigilant about this, because whether or not we can smoothly settle the people depends mainly on whether the defense of the mountain pass can be completed in time! As long as a strong pass can be established in the mountain pass and people are stationed on the wall of the pass, the imperial court will be taboo about this place, and will not dare to use troops against it easily!

As a native of Fangling, Wang Xianyuan naturally fled here with him, and having him join him can be regarded as a great help to Wanmin!

Wang Xianyuan's family was a big business, and all the family property was brought into the valley with the escape, although he could no longer show up in Yongzhou, but if he was allowed to go to Xiangyang, which was controlled by the Huns, it would be feasible!

When the people moved into the valley, there were too many things to be missing!

Wang Xianyuan shouldered a heavy responsibility, and I asked him to lead people over the mountains on the southeast side to the border of Xiangyang to sell some daily necessities for the people, so as to barely supply the living needs of the people in the mountains! At the same time, the salt and iron produced in the mountains were transported out for trading, so as to maintain the back and forth trading. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Over time, in the mountains on the southeast side, because of many transactions, sooner or later it will be taken out of a road, and the traffic will be more convenient at that time!

A month later, under the leadership of the old man Li Junchang, the pass at the mountain pass finally began to be built, which is an important guarantee for the safety of all the people in our mountains!

The construction of this pass was like a big war, almost all the people in the valley devoted themselves to the construction project, a large number of people entered the mountains to mine stones, and then sent the stones to the mountain pass, a simple pass began to slowly take shape!

But before we could build the pass, the imperial court's encirclement and suppression army finally arrived!

I don't know what the reason is, it will cause the imperial court's encirclement and suppression army to be two months late, I think this probably has something to do with Yongguo's habit of procrastinating, so poor efficiency is no wonder it is difficult to resist the attack of the Huns!

The army of the imperial court was densely packed all over the ground, and the army was neatly lined up in front of the valley, majestic and magnificent, and this scene reminded me of the Yin soldier battle in the tomb of the ghost king that day!

If I had an army of 100 Yin soldiers in my hands, I would definitely be able to take down this army of predecessors in the imperial court in front of me, but I don't have anything in my hands, so I don't know what to do!

Uncle Li is also very anxious, the guards he temporarily formed are only 200 people, and these people are just ordinary poor people, with no combat experience, if they really fight with the imperial army, it is simply for them to be sent to death!

Li Junchang sighed and said: "What the hell is going on in this imperial court, for the sake of a small handful of fugitives, it will actually send an army of 1,000 people to come to encircle and suppress!"

Li Junchang seemed to be very surprised by the size of the imperial army, and probably never expected that the imperial court would send so many people to attack us!

At this point, it is nothing more than a death, and then I began to express my position in front of everyone, and decided to live and die with the imperial army!

Unexpectedly, the people rushed to the mountain pass quickly when they heard the news, and everyone took hoes and pitchforks to squeeze the entire mountain pass!

The people were full of passion, and the angry roar startled the war horses of the imperial army to cry, and they kept retreating in fear!

With the participation of the people, our momentum is like a rainbow, and we are not afraid of this army of thousands of people in the imperial court!

So I drew my bronze sword, walked out of the mountain pass alone, and stopped at the position where I was fighting with the imperial army!

I was young and my voice was small, so I had to tear open my throat and shout loudly to the people in the court: "I am what everyone calls a fairy child, originally I was just a person in Fangling to look like a person, to solve people's doubts, how can I say that treason and collaboration with the enemy! You are all people of the court, and we are also the people of the court, since we have fled to this land of mountains and forests, why are we so hard to force each other! The officials force the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel, does the court have to force us to fight in the same room and kill each other?"

A man who looked like a military general rode out of the queue and raised his sword and shouted at me: "Demon boy, you dare to confuse everyone to gather a crowd to rebel, this is a great rebellion!

I asked rhetorically: "If I die, will the court spare these innocent people? If so, I am willing to be tied up by you and taken to Yongzhou immediately!"

This general is probably also a straight man, and he replied very uprightly: "Harboring rebels and conspiring with traitors is an unforgivable crime, and you rebels must all be executed!"

After hearing this, I sneered and said, "I knew that you would be like this, so there is no need for me to surrender and die! Since the imperial court has made something out of nothing, indiscriminately charged us, and the officials have forced the people to rebel, then we have to rebel!"

After speaking, I stretched out my hand and raised the bronze sword, and said to the people behind me: "The court won't give us any way to live at all, we will do the opposite!"

The people have long been passionate, in order to escape we have stayed away from Fangling, after coming here we have exhausted the mountains and rivers and have no way out, in order to survive and live, no one is willing to die!

All the people began to cry out in unison: "Reversed, reversed!" The number of people was large, and the sound was extremely loud, which shook the surrounding mountains and rocks, and the earth trembled, so that everyone in the court did not dare to speak!

At this time, I saw that an adjutant general in the imperial army began to call for this general, and the general immediately rode back to the ranks, and the two began to talk in private with each other, and looked at me from time to time!

Suddenly, the general's face changed greatly, and he dismounted directly and walked a few steps towards me on foot, then knelt down in front of me on half a knee, bowed and said: "Lord Xiantong has offended a lot, I should go back and ask for the life of the people, you must not rebel lightly, remember, remember!"

After saying that, the general saluted again, turned around and stepped on his horse again, and led the army to quickly withdraw from here.

I was stunned, I didn't know what the lieutenant was talking to him, what the hell were they playing?

In any case, the people of the imperial court have finally withdrawn, and the people are safe for the time being!

Li Junchang immediately instructed the people to hurry up and build the pass, according to his experience, the people of the imperial court will definitely return here soon, and they may bring more troops at that time!

Ma Zhutou walked over with a smile and bowed to me to congratulate: "Lord Xiantong is really supernatural, you can directly control the generals of the imperial court and let them leave without a fight, you are simply amazing!"

I was stunned for a while, and it was not easy to refute it directly, so that everyone would have to worry about the tricks of the imperial court, so it would be better for me to repel them, so that everyone could be happy, and it could also strengthen the morale of everyone!

The time is very urgent, the construction site is also brightly lit at night, and the pass is constantly being built day and night, hoping to be completed smoothly when the imperial army arrives again!

In fact, I have been wondering in my heart, even if this pass can be successfully built, can we hold this place? Even if we can successfully defend this place, how many innocent ordinary people will have to die?

In this treacherous era of war, the court does not trust the people, and the people do not trust the court, and there are countless rebellions and escapes, and it is not too much to say that it is now a world of great chaos!

The news of the retreat of the imperial army without a fight soon spread throughout the territory of Yongzhou, and in the following time, more and more poor people rushed to join us when they heard the news, and our momentum continued unabated!

At this point, a question began to arise in my mind, could it be that I came to this world, and the fate that God arranged for me was to make me a thief, or did I want to use an uprising to save the Huaxia people? But this, does this have to start from such a barren valley?

Every day, countless people shouted slogans at me, and their enthusiasm never faded, and they seemed to be full of confidence in me and everyone! What's more, the prescient Li Junchang actually privately persuaded me to set up my own banner and claim the title of king in the valley, so that more suffering people would come and join us!

...... I wondered, hesitated, hesitated! I was still quite taboo about the word anti-thief, and I was very unwilling to bear such a notoriety!

Besides, I still have an appointment with Li Chengzu, and I also boasted to him that Haikou asked him to sit in Wancheng and wait for Yongguo to counterattack the Xiongnu, but now I am forced to be a thief of Yongguo, what is this called!
