He Lingchuan tapped his fingers twice on the edge of the sand table: "Jin Hanguo finally sent someone in?" ”

As he expected.

"About 500 people, ostensibly outcasts and mercenaries from the western mountains of the Jinhan Kingdom, are actually regular soldiers, and they also help Fu Shanlie train water bandits in the Takigawa River." Jin Hanguo was still afraid of Panlong City, and did not dare to send a regular army openly, so he could only send support here in the name of mercenaries.

"Nearly 3,000 people eat and drink, which is not a small number. The villagers of Takigawa have fallen to us, so who is supporting Fushan Lie's men and horses? ”

The most basic condition for the strength of Panlong City and the Gale Army is that the food supply is sufficient. The area of the Takigawa River is about half the size of the Akapa Plateau, but it is not as rich in water and soil, and there are a lot of wetlands and uncultivated wasteland.

The composition of the Xiqian puppet army is complex, most of them are outsiders, and the local water bandits in Takichuan account for less than 30%, and it is difficult to rob merchants now, so where do they get their materials from?

As the commander of a city, few people know the importance of military rations better than him.

At the same time as recruiting the Takigawa bandits, the favorability of the villages and towns in the Takigawa River towards Yuhengcheng is also improving, at least they will no longer meet each other in battle as before. It was also becoming more and more difficult for Fushanlie's army to obtain food from Takigawa.

Hu Min immediately said: "Part of it is taken from the village, the other part is purchased from the Baishawan Free Port, and some part is discovered by the thin man: Jin Han also secretly transported grain to it." ”

The water of the Takigawa River is upstream in the country of Jinhan.

"However, their forced purchase of grain from the villages and towns of Takigawa has already aroused local discontent."

This number of Xiqi puppet troops are shrinking in Takigawa, and they are neither locals nor producing, which will definitely cause blood sucking and exploitation effects to the local area.

He Lingchuan nodded: "Emperor Flowing Pulp is coming, how do they deal with it?" ”

Emperor slurry magnifies human greed, which happens to be the touchstone of the quality of the Xiqian puppet army.

At least in the first night of the Emperor's Flowing Pulp in the past, Yuheng City's performance made He Lingchuan and Wen Daolun more satisfied - after several months of high-intensity continuous grinding, the newly formed Yuheng Army has been reborn. Both the mental outlook and the organizational discipline are much stronger than before.

"We only know that there are dead and wounded, and the number is unknown." Hu Min said, "After you recruited An Qianjin Village, the Xiqian puppet army fought with the bandits many times, so they quickly made enemies with the people of Luchuan. Fu Shan Lie then surrounded the village with demon vines, leaving only two roads. The demon vine wall is impermeable and does not allow people to approach. As a result, they are isolated from the outside world, and it is difficult for information to enter and exit. ”

"Send an avian aerial reconnaissance?"

Hu Min shook his head: "They also sent birds of prey to hover in the sky, and it is difficult for foreign birds to approach." ”

"In this way, Fushan Lie changed his plan to switch from offensive to defensive, and prepared to occupy Takigawa for a long time." He Lingchuan walked to the edge of the sand table: "After annexing several bandits, Fu Shanlie's territory expanded to the eastern part of Takigawa, occupying the passage between Takigawa Mizusawa and the outside world, making it more convenient to communicate with Jin Hanguo. ”

If this cancer is not removed, Jinhan's spies and even the army will be able to enter the country from Takigawa and run wild in the old land of Xiqi.

"Strange, why hasn't he withdrawn?" He Lingchuan muttered, "If he can't kill me, Yuheng City will occupy the entire territory of Takichuan just around the corner, and he can't stir up the wind and rain there." This is the trend of the times, and it is meaningless for him to stay in Takigawa. ”

Speaking from his heart, Fushan Lie originally did a good job in Takigawa, uniting a group of rabble, and repeatedly repelled the attacks of Yuheng City.

But he suffered a big loss in his position.

He is a "bandit" in Takigawa, no matter how good he is, he is a big bandit leader. The bandits followed him, but they still had to sweat and sweat and work against the officers and soldiers to make money.

He Lingchuan is an "official", with the big move of "Zhao'an" in hand, he can break the will of the water bandits without blood. The water bandits turned into road pipes, sitting on the ground to collect money, who is willing to follow Fushan Lie?

He Lingchuan turned this natural disparity in power into a huge advantage for himself.

And before that, neither Wen Daolun, Commander Xiao, nor Panlong City realized this.

Fu Shanlie's sneak attack on He Lingchuan failed, and he should know that it is irreversible. This is a failure at the strategic level, why hold on to Takigawa?

The cost of staying behind will be increasing, and it is wise to stop losses in time.

Unless, he thinks otherwise.

Hu Min said again: "Also, Mr. Zhang, whom you invited from Panlong City, had already entered Takichuan the day before yesterday. ”

He Lingchuan pressed his neck and made two clicks: "The reconnaissance of both land and air routes has been cut off, fortunately, there is a lot of water in Takigawa, so we will take the water route to reconnaisance, right?" ”

The stockade of the Xiqian puppet army was built on the water. It is said that Fushanlie's couch is less than three feet from the water.

"The first time Mr. Zhang sent back the news, it seems that the puppet army has made a noise because of the uneven distribution of the emperor's slurry, and the bandits are dissatisfied."

The bandits have always emphasized fairness and interests, but the army is managed vertically from the top down, forcing people to obey. In order to transform the Takigawa bandits into military combat power, they need to adapt to the period.

He Lingchuan didn't plan to leave them plenty of time.

"When Emperor Flowing Pulp first came, it was actually a good opportunity, and it was a pity to miss it. The second emperor slurry, these two days should come. He muttered, "Where are the Fushan Martyrs these days?" ”

"The night before, he sat on the edge of the water fence in the village and drank, and Mr. Zhang saw several pots in a row; He seemed to have received a letter, and after reading it, he was very angry and scolded. ”

"What are you scolding?"

"His ears and eyes are sensitive, Mr. Zhang didn't dare to approach, he only heard a few words, what intrigues, what dragged down the front line."

With whom did Fushanlie get angry, and the letter came from Bega? He Lingchuan snorted: "Let Mr. Zhang keep an eye on Fu Shanlie." Also, I am optimistic about the number of ships in the Xiqian puppet army water village. ”

Ships are a necessary means of travel in Takigawa, especially after the Xiqian puppet army cut off the land route, they mainly rely on ships to enter and exit.

"Yes."

"Are our centaurs out?"

"The third batch is already on the way."

"Good, good." He Lingchuan planted a small flag in the sand table in the Takigawa, "It's time to make an end." ”

……

It is rare that there is no military affairs tonight, He Lingchuan walked home.

Standing halfway up the mountain, he could see half of the city brightly lit, which was brighter than when he first arrived in Yuheng City.

The stars are lit up. Behind every lamp, there is a small blessing of the family.

With the hard work of him and Wen Daolun, Yuheng City is thriving every day.

However, the gods and Bega always cast ill-intentioned glances at this place. If the scourge of the Takigawa bandit army is not eradicated as soon as possible, how long can Yuheng City have a good life?

Halfway through the mountain road, there was a fluttering sound in the night sky.

He Lingchuan looked up and saw the two birds above colliding together, popping and beating feathers, and screaming endlessly.

In a few moments, the winner has been divided.

The two birds were entangled and both fell to the ground. The kestrel was on top of it, and pressed a thrush with its claws, and the claws and beaks were bloody.

But it also hung red from the corners of its own eyes, and kept blinking.

The thrush is so large that it is almost the same size.

It spoke one step ahead of He Lingchuan, and his voice was panting: "You are being followed." It has been staring at you for the last two days, from the city guard to your home, wherever you go. ”

"Oh? Good job. No wonder he always felt like he was being targeted for the past two days.

The tracking from the monster is the most hidden. Luckily, he sent the kestrel on a parade.

He Lingchuan stroked the kestrel's head, fed it a pill, and then lowered his head and asked the thrush, "Who sent you?" ”

"Takigawa!" The thrush was injured, and he didn't dare to pout in pain, "The leader of the Xiqi army!" ”

"What else did he send you to do besides staring at me?"

"You want me to check the southern and southern camps of Yuheng City by the way."

He Lingchuan nodded: "How many eyeliners did he send to Yuheng City?" Like you? ”

What a coincidence, he sent an aerial eyeliner to stare at Fu Shan Lie, and the other party also sent flying birds to stare at him.

Spy on each other.

"I've seen two, a blackbird, and a silky starling."

They are all small birds that are common in the castle and are not easy to detect.

"Where has Fushan Lie been operating lately?"

"I don't know!"

He Lingchuan frowned: "When and where was the last time you reported to him?" ”

"Yesterday, in Takigawa!" Thrush said, "I'm reporting to his men." ”

"You didn't see him with your own eyes?"

"Nope."

He Lingchuan let out an "um" and said to the kestrel: "After asking, you can do it." ”

Thrush screams in noise, all "spare your life".

But the kestrel insisted on having it for dinner.

He Lingchuan didn't care, when Yuhengcheng sent people to enter Takichuan, he announced to the whole water area that the monsters who assisted the Xiqian puppet army were regarded as the enemies of Yuhengcheng.

If these monsters hear about it and don't do it, then don't blame him.

The rear soon fell silent.

After returning home, He Lingchuan first took a Killing God Pill and went to the back mountain to practice swords.

The Killing God Pill that Ah Luo refined with Emperor Liquid Pulp, He Lingchuan has already taken two pills. Of course, Arlo was not as reckless as he was on the shore of the Three Heart Lake, but made three spirit syrup, and explained that he could only take one every six hours.

Right now, what he swallowed was the last one.

He Lingchuan had already discovered that the best way for him to refine the spiritual pulp and improve his cultivation in the Panlong World was not to meditate and breathe, but to polish his body and exercise his martial arts.

The two worlds of virtual and real, after all, are still a little different.

The mountains are silent, and there is no one in the forest. He gradually practiced until he forgot his form, and he didn't know when there was an extra white qi around the floating knife.

The knife is formed.

The spirit and spirit all stood at the peak, and suddenly a wave slashed out.

The knife was silent, but the brilliance was like water, and the woodland five feet away made a loud noise, like a hurricane blowing.

After two breaths, the branches and leaves fell.

After a few more breaths, more than 20 trees fell from the thick mouth of the bowl.

He Lingchuan's knife was cut out flat, and the plants in the five-zhang fan-shaped area in front of him, from shrubs to trees, were all decapitated!

It was neat and tidy, like measuring with a ruler.

This style came from the waves, and Panlong City never taught, but He Lingchuan realized himself, and it was natural.

When he was about to raise the knife again, his heart was enlightened, and his blood suddenly poured into his head.

He Lingchuan's movements suddenly stopped, and he secretly said that it finally came.
