Chapter 162: The Officers and Soldiers Who Delivered the Letter

The captured officers and soldiers were divided into five or six people, with an archer and an ordinary soldier to watch over them.

Early the next morning, he threw the people into the mountains and gave them tools to open the mountains and cut down trees and build houses.

This time, the house was built on the hill, some distance from the village.

Some laid foundations, some cut trees, some chiseled stones, and some were sent to work in brick mills.

Speaking of a lot of work, it is actually normal farm work.

The officers and men thought that Liu Yunzhai had a lot of troops, and they had no idea of escaping, and they only had to work for four hours a day, and they had food to eat.

This is not only the case for ordinary soldiers, but also for Zhang San, a hundred households.

In addition to letting these officers and soldiers work, Bai Xia would send people to brainwash them every day, saying how good it was here, how powerful the owner of the village was, and quietly revealed some things about the point exchange system and the exchange of silver money for food.

As a result, these officers and soldiers thought that the owner of Liu Yunzhai was a strong man who was eight feet tall and powerful, and had countless troops under him.

They were fooled by Liu Yunzhai's people in a daze, worked and worked every day, and then successfully built a cell that could accommodate about 300 people, and lived in it themselves.

The prison of Nuoda has taken shape like this, and they may not even know that the work they do every day is to build a cage for themselves.

However, Bai Xia didn't plan to let so many people not use it.

When these people were repairing the house, they cut down a lot of trees and stones, coupled with the weapons they collected, her energy value entered a state of slow growth, although the people of Liu Yunzhai increased a lot, but many of these people were not cohesive, and they could not easily discover the current situation of Liu Yunzhai.

However, after solving this group of officers and soldiers, Bai Xia and they were able to clean up for a while, but she did not forget that there were still thousands of garrisons on the side of Tushan.

If they find out, life will not be easy.

When I think of it, I can't help but think of the iron mine over there.

If you want to prevent the enemy from attacking, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

Bai Xia started to do things again.

The matter of brainwashing the soldiers continued to be done, and she did not give up the matter of recruiting refugees, she led people down the mountain and went in the direction of Tu Mountain.

The disappearance of the two teams will inevitably cause a chain reaction of the Tushan garrison, and it is not her style to make people come to the door, so she decided to take the initiative to harass this team, so that they can take care of themselves and be soldiers.

Then they will not care about the people who are sent out.

I have to say that Bai Xia's idea is just right.

Because Lin Shu happened to hear a report that two hundred-man armies were missing, after he sent them out, instead of recovering the food, he even broke the letter.

Fortunately, during this period of time, the grain and grass transported here in Ganzhou arrived, otherwise they would have run out of food at this time.

Although there was grain and grass, it was not much, it was only enough for a month, and if they did not consider the group of miners on the mountain, they could each eat a little more, and if the miners were taken into account, they would have to save and eat.

Treat nothing badly, and you cannot do it badly to your own soldiers.

So there was less and less food for the miners in the mountains.

Lin Shu asked himself if he could do anything to kill people and cook, but if the mine slave himself didn't have anything to eat and couldn't help it, then he couldn't be blamed.

His heart was darker than the officials on the mountain, and he actually had the idea of letting them kill each other.

The miners on the mountain had less food, and their strength was not as good as before, and they had much less to dig up.

The above several times of accountability were blocked back by Lin Shu's words to ask for food.

Grain, grain, where is there no shortage of food now?

Where did they go to find food?

Having said that, the people sent from above went back to their lives.

The iron ore yield in Tushan is relatively high, and they still can't give up here, so Lin Shu and the others got the grain and grass sent, and it was precisely because of these grains and grass that they knew that they were not abandoned, so they had the heart to think about the two teams that left.

As a result, when I asked, well, everyone was gone.

It's a bit of a cat.

Just looking at the more than 600 people who went out on the mountain, plus the 400 people who were sent out.

The garrison at the foot of the mountain was reduced from 10,000 to 9,000.

To be able to take down his two teams of 100 people in a row, at least the other party must have the same size, if the other party is also a large army, his people will be sent out, it will be a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Taking out the topographical map of the vicinity, Lin Shu analyzed the surrounding forces.

"Could it be the Jiazhou garrison?"

Each state capital has its own garrison, and the three prefectures of Gan, Quan, and Yu are the fiefs of King Liang, and they all belong to King Liang's private army, so it is unlikely that they will not get along with his people.

In addition, only Jiazhou next to it is the closest and borders Ganzhou, if there is a problem, I want to be related to Jiazhou.

I just don't know if it's the Jiazhou government or the bandits over there.

He also knew that due to the occurrence of the drought, bandits were rampant in the world, and there were many bold people who wanted to steal things from officers and soldiers in order to strengthen their power.

And then there were the refugee riots.

The locations on the topographic map were eliminated by him little by little, and finally Jiazhou was locked.

He took out a pen and paper, wrote down the contents quickly, then sealed the written letter and summoned people in.

"Someone Coming"

"General"

"Order someone to send this letter out and hand it over to Lin Jiao, the commander of the Jiazhou infantry, urgently"

"Yes"

The person who came took the sealed letter and slowly retreated, then held the letter to arrange, and sent one person to ride a horse and gallop away in the direction of Jiazhou with the letter.

But it was said that Bai Xia and the ten of them rode horses, and the speed was much faster than walking, and before they reached Tushan, they saw a fast horse galloping towards them, and the two sides stopped and looked at each other.

The officers and soldiers delivering the letter looked at the person sitting on the opposite side, wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, his skin was a little black, and there was a thick layer of calluses on his hands, and in front of them was a young girl.

There were ten people on the other side, although there was also a child, but he was only one, and he did not consider himself their opponent.

Bai Xia's eyes were also looking at him, although he had never seen a real messenger, but he had played a lot on TV, the outfit of this officer and soldier, and the signature travel equipment of one person and one horse, this was very much like a messenger.

Neither side acted rashly, and watched each other vigilantly.

At this moment, a "move" came out, and both sides moved at the same time.

The officer turned his horse's head and ran towards the way he came, while Bai Xia and the others drove their horses forward to chase after them, intending to intercept them.

One person and one horse, nine people and nine horses one after the other, played the game of chasing and escaping, Bai Xia deliberately fell behind, detoured from the side, and intercepted people forward.

Although the officers and soldiers who delivered the letter rode the war horses in the barracks, the food and grass decreased during this time, and the food level of the war horses also decreased a lot, resulting in a decrease in physical strength and endurance.
