This time he went to Linjiang Town, Huang Zhang attached great importance to it, and specially brought 500 soldiers from the Cold Wind Battalion to go with him.

Of course, it was certainly not a show of force, he brought five hundred people with him this time, and the main thing was to deliver supplies, food, medicine, etc.

Tianjiabao is harvesting in autumn, and Huang Zhang can just transport some grain over.

As for the medicine, I heard Xinghong say that there are a small group of barbarians who have fled to Linjiang Town, and the people in the town have paid a lot of price in order to resist this barbarian.

Now Linjiang Town is short of food and medicine, which is also one of the reasons why the attitude of the mayor of Linjiang Town has changed.

Without seeking help from the outside world, the townspeople of Linjiang Town are afraid that it will be difficult for them to survive this crisis.

Walking on the official road to Linjiang Town again, the road is still so muddy, full of potholes, very difficult to walk.

"This road was deliberately made like this by my grandfather back then." Xinghong said with some embarrassment.

Hu Yi'er looked at her feet of mud and asked a little unhappily, "Deliberately?" You mean it wasn't that bad? ”

Xinghong nodded.

"The government did build a simple flat road before, although it is not as good as the official road, but at least it can be walked, and then my grandfather destroyed this road in order to cut off contact with the outside."

Hearing this, Huang Zhang understood. No wonder there is an official road here on Fan Li's map, it turns out that there was a real one before.

"But speaking of which, it's also to blame for this broken road, otherwise I wouldn't have been caught up by the barbarians, and I almost died!"

As soon as she heard this, Hu Yi'er immediately remembered, "I remember you said before that you were saved by Niu Zhantian on this road?" ”

"That's right, the barbarians had already caught up with me at that time, and they also injured a few of my companions, thanks to Brother Niu bringing people over, so I was saved."

Huang Zhang didn't expect Niu Zhantian to have this luck, let him stay here, he can still make such a great achievement, it really made him a little unexpected.

"Rest assured, to develop Linjiang Town, the first task is to repair and widen this road, as the old saying goes, if you want to get rich, first build the road. At that time, not only this official road, but also the land route between the north and the south, and then rely on the advantages of Linjiang Town by the Sichuan River to develop water transportation, two-pronged and go hand in hand, in order to open up the market. ”

Hearing Huang Zhang's words, Xinghong was directly stunned.

"If that's the case, then wouldn't my Linjiang Town be ......?"

For a while, Xinghong didn't know what words to use to describe it, but he felt that his excitement was overflowing.

He also thought about developing Linjiang Town, but when he thought about it, he didn't have a clue in his heart, and he always flew around like a headless fly.

Now Huang Zhang's words are like seeing the light through the clouds, which fills his heart with hope.

But just when Xinghong was so happy, Huang Zhang poured a basin of cold water on him again.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, I haven't seen anything in Linjiang Town, and I'm not sure that I will follow this development route. In addition, development requires money, which is also a headache. ”

Xinghong also knew these problems, if it was before, he would definitely not be able to do it, but now that he met Huang Zhang, he felt that these problems would no longer be a problem in front of the young man in front of him.

The group walked for a long time, and then they faintly saw the shadow of Linjiang Town.

Before entering the town, Niu Zhantian was already waiting at the entrance of the town with Hua Huai and the personal guards.

As soon as he saw Huang Zhang, Niu Zhantian immediately rushed up and saluted him: "Boss, I'm finally waiting for you!" How did I do this time, old cow? ”

Huang Zhang smiled and nodded.

"Yes, don't be happy for three days, be impressed, do a good job!"

Hearing Huang Zhang's praise, Niu Zhantian touched his head embarrassedly.

"Hehe, that's the boss who teaches well."

"Okay, don't be poor, I'm here this time to do business, you tell me about the recent situation."

As soon as he heard Huang Zhang talk about business, Niu Zhantian immediately became serious.

"Boss, the situation is not very good, I originally thought that this was a small group of barbarians, but I didn't expect it to be a small detachment of barbarians, at least about two hundred people, the town suffered relatively large losses, more than three hundred died, and more than six hundred people were injured to varying degrees."

As soon as this battle situation came out, Huang Zhang immediately became puzzled.

"Two hundred barbarian squads? How could it be possible to let the people of Linjiang Town lose so much? ”

Niu Zhantian seemed to have known that Huang Zhang would be so surprised, and explained to him: "If this was before, I wouldn't believe it, but boss, you haven't seen those barbarians, all of them are tall and big, full of muscles, and when they rush up, they feel that the whole ground is trembling, it's too terrifying." ”

Huang Zhang's eyes narrowed, a little unconvinced.

"Are you talking about barbarians or beasts? Is it so exaggerated to move the ground? ”

At this time, Xinghong on the side spoke, "I testify, those barbarians are really so exaggerated. There were only two barbarians who chased me at the beginning, but they killed five or six of my companions, and these barbarians are so majestic. ”

"That's right, Boss, you weren't there, and if you were, you'd know I'm right." Niu Zhantian hurriedly added.

Huang Zhang looked at Hu Yi'er beside him.

"Do you know the barbarians?"

Hu Yi'er shook her head.

At this time, Huang Zhang suddenly remembered Xinghong's identity, looked at him and said: "I remember that you seem to have said that your clansmen in Linjiang Town are a combination of barbarians and Suguo people, but I don't see you being so exaggerated!" ”

"Our ancestors were not barbarians, they were border barbarians, strictly speaking, they were slaves of barbarians, and in terms of size, they were not of the same rank as barbarians."

Hearing Xinghong's words, Huang Zhang suddenly found that he seemed to have overlooked a very important piece of information.

He didn't know the combat effectiveness of the barbarians, but he simply analyzed their combat effectiveness from the names and the movements of the barbarians in recent years, but now that he thinks about it, this understanding is hugely problematic.

If he meets the barbarians in the future, he will probably suffer a big loss!

As soon as he thought of this, Huang Zhang threw away all the unrealistic ideas in his mind, and now it seemed a little early to talk about the collision with the barbarians, so he said in a deep voice: "Go, enter the town!" ”

At the sound of an order, a group of people began to march towards Linjiang Town.

As soon as I entered the town, there was a mess everywhere, many of the ancient houses in the past had collapsed, and the square where the townspeople had gathered was now full of injured people, all of them were in a state of mental malaise, and the whimpering of women could be faintly heard.

It can be seen that this wave of barbarian invasion has brought a huge blow to Linjiang Town, which has been peaceful for a long time.

"Niu Zhantian, you immediately take someone down to check on the condition of the villagers and distribute the medicine. Yi'er, you take people to make a fire and prepare food. Huang Zhang immediately ordered.

"Hmm." The two nodded at the same time and immediately went down to arrange manpower.

Xinghong saw that the people led by Huang Zhang were moving, and immediately said to Mr. Huang: "Boss, I'll take you to see your father." ”

"Hmm."

Huang Zhang also wanted to meet the mayor of Linjiang Town and see what he thought about the development of Linjiang Town.
