For the first time, blood stained Chang'an Village, and the young recruits saw the war.

Comrades died in front of their eyes, and the soldiers of the army seemed to grow overnight.

The aftermath was handed over to Zhang Juzheng, and Jiang Changan returned to the house with a heavy heart.

This number of people was already very reluctant to attack the quicksand village, but this time it was even more difficult.

There are also two invisible big hands in the dark, staring at Chang'an Village with fierce eyes, like a beast staring at its prey, ready to strike at any time.

One thing is the truth, if you don't see Burning Ge tomorrow morning, you will immediately order the Qiang soldiers to look for it all over the mountains.

It is easy for them to discover this shortcut, and when the time comes, as long as they are smuggled from the valley, it will be difficult for these villages around Wuwei to survive.

In this thrilling night, Jiang Chang'an didn't sleep steadily, and he was a little faintly afraid, and the smooth start was almost ruined.

In the final analysis, the strength is still too weak, if you have enough troops and a hard city, even if the Qiang and Xianbei attack at the same time, with their own experience in defending the city and Huang Zhong's talent, what is there to fear.

But Jiang Chang'an's heart is far stronger than that of ordinary leaders, and this bit of wind and waves can't make it difficult for him.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Changan called Huang Zhong, Chang Yuchun and Zhang Juzheng, and the three orders were issued immediately.

First: Huang Zhong immediately returned to Wuwei County, gave the medicine to Huang Xu, sent his family over first, and then summoned the heart of the city to wait for the order to attack the village.

Second: Chang Yuchun led 50 soldiers to the west to the valley of the Qiang camp, blocked the road with rocks, leaving a few people hidden near the valley on the road, if anyone came, they must be captured alive.

Third: After these two days, the prosperity of Chang'an Village has attracted many displaced people, and the population of the village has reached more than 700 people, and the conscription work was immediately started by Zhang Juzheng.

Three orders were issued, and the three of them immediately started the work in their hands, the foundation of Chang'an Village is not bad, and there are more men and fewer women in the homeless people.

The benefits and benefits of serving as a soldier under Jiang Changan have spread in the village since they were said in the barracks that day.

Many people wanted to join the army at that time, but they were stopped, and the development and construction of villages could not be separated from adult men.

But now that there is such a change in the village, in order to be sure, the only way to start conscription is to start conscription, of course, all this is based on the willingness of the people in the village.

The people's will finally has a stable situation, and Jiang Changan knows that if he forcibly recruits soldiers, although he can achieve good results, the people's will also become a mess.

Several people moved, and Jiang Changan was not willing to be idle, so he picked a few sturdy cavalry teams led by the young general Chen Ran from the military camp to follow him to Liusha Village.

Yes, Jiang Changan plans to take advantage of his own eyes today to see the topography of Liusha Village, and the scout's oral statement is different after all.

Some terrain and landforms, in the eyes of the scouts, may be just a simple landform that does not need to be reported, but in the eyes of Jiang Changan, it may be the biggest turning point in the victory of this battle.

Jiang Changan rode on a good horse, Chen Ran and a few people escorted him, and the team quickly marched towards the south.

Crossing a stone bridge a few kilometers away, mountain after mountain, the early morning mist shrouds the mountainside.

In the distance, you can see that there is still some white snow on the top of the mountain, and the stone road is paved, and the sparse coniferous forest is dotted among the mountains, and the scenery is not bad.

Jiang Changan took out the map drawn by the scout, the scout is not a master of painting, and it is extremely difficult to draw the road accurately.

Follow the stream under the stone bridge to the mountains, this route will encounter the fewest villages on the way, and you can go directly to the quicksand village under the quicksand village.

The purpose of this trip was to survey the terrain of the quicksand village, and if a group of cavalry went to the village of the Inhumans, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

The team marched on horseback, ran for about ten miles, bypassed the last mountain pass, and a slow mountain appeared in front of them.

"Look at the location on the map, the mountain in front of you is where the quicksand village is located!"

"Let's go to the villagers of Liusha Village at the foot of the mountain to find out the situation."

Jiang Changan took out the water bag and took a sip and said to a few people around him.

Chen Ran is a native of Liangzhou, and he is quite familiar with the terrain, and he has already begun to observe this mountain when he sees it.

"My lord, this mountain rises and falls slowly, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the quicksand village has been entrenched in this place for a long time, they must know the situation of this mountain."

"Liangzhou Liukou is cunning and cruel by nature, and there are very likely to be many traps in this mountain, so you must guard against it."

Jiang Changan nodded, swallowed a sip of cold water, and the fatigue of the journey was a little less.

"Be careful in your next actions, and if you don't face the enemy head-on in case of emergency, retreat immediately!"

"Yes!"

After a few people should get down, they followed the direction of the quicksand village on the map.

Following the gravel path, surrounded by low bushes, the horses wagged their tails from the bites of the early morning mosquitoes.

After turning into the mountains from the direction of the stream and climbing a few low dirt slopes, Liusha Village appeared in front of Jiang Chang'an and several people.

Jiang Changan looked at the quicksand village in front of him, and couldn't believe that this was a village.

Although the scout reported that the situation in Liusha Village was very bad, what Jiang Changan didn't expect was that it would be so bad.

The whole village, starting from the place where it entered, was ruined and devastated.

Jiang Changan saw at a glance that there was a child lying on the side of the road on the fence wall outside the courtyard, about seven or eight years old, with dark and dirty limbs and unclothed clothes.

Half of the flesh could not be picked out of the face, it was like dry bones, and the mouth was full of cracks, like the earth in a dry time.

Seeing the child, Jiang Changan felt a sudden pang in his heart, got off the horse, took a water bag and hurriedly ran over.

Without saying a word, he fed the water in the water bag into the child's mouth little by little.

The child's consciousness was already blurred, water poured into his mouth, and his body's own will to survive prompted him to hold the water bag and drink it in a big gulp.

After pouring several sips, the child struggled to open his eyes and looked at Jiang Changan and a few others.

Seeing the horses behind them, the child suddenly burst into tears, crying and hiding back, perhaps tired, the child cried, but could not make a sound in his throat.

Is this treating a group of people as rogues?

Jiang Changan hurriedly took out the corn cake he brought out in the morning from his arms and gently handed it to the little boy.

Seeing Jiang Changan's kind actions, the little boy also saw the outfits of several people at this time, stopped crying and carefully took the corn cake.

As soon as he arrived, the child hid at the foot of the wall and began to swallow in large gulps, and Jiang Changan handed over the water bag again.

A few people watched as the little boy regained a little spirit, and then leaned over.

The child is no longer as vigilant as just now, Jiang Changan and the others walked by, only looking at a few people with a wooden smile.

Jiang Changan saw that the child was so weak, and then looked at the ruins behind him, and asked with some distress.

"Is this your home?"

The little boy did not reply, his face filled with sadness, and he nodded slightly.

"What about your family? Why are you lying here? ”

Hearing Jiang Changan's gentle question, the little boy seemed to have found an outlet and began to cry loudly.

"Dead...... They're all dead......"

The boy said sadly while crying, Jiang Changan squeezed his fist under his sleeve, held back his anger and said.

"What's going on in the village?"
