The Hu people in the north and Wu Yang had just fought a big battle, and Wuyang, as the victorious side, had been replenished with supplies, and it stands to reason that the life of the border people could be better, but a cloud of gloom shrouded the border people on both sides of Hu and Wuyang.

It's all because of one person, the eldest prince Xu Aotian, who is secretly fueling the troubles, all the merchants are actively taking action, buying factories, workshops, and shops that are bankrupt and want to sell them cheaply to repay debts, many businessmen with management talents are trying their best to expand, merge and monopolize, such a rare opportunity, how can they not seize it?

Xu Aotian is the biggest beneficiary.

With the expansion of the territory of the Wuyang Dynasty to the north, and the merger of merchants and Haoqiang, although Xu Aotian was frantically absorbing the dividends after the war, he also gave many border people a place to settle down.

Some people are happy, and naturally there are people who are hateful, and the Hu people in the north have almost no living space at all.

Xu Lin calculated to this level, and the post-war dividends could not only be obtained by Xu Aotian.

But it was impossible for Xu Lin to grab grain in the hands of Xu Aotian, who was in a bucket of iron, so he set his sights on the Hu people in the north, compared to the hammer deal that Xu Aotian plundered, Xu Lin's approach was more intelligent.

Xu Lin knew that he could not take advantage of Wuyang's finances, and he wanted to take the northern Hu people as his trade objects, so that they could support Shuofang City's material needs for a long time.

With such a strategic goal, it is necessary to pay attention to equality and reciprocity no matter what.

If the imperial court knew about it, Xu Lin would have to be convicted of betraying the country and seeking glory.

Xu Lin had seen the East India Company play Qinggou out of a hundred years of humiliation history, and if he wanted to achieve the original accumulation of Shuofang City, he must use the operation model of the East India Company to achieve the original capital accumulation.

The East India Company used opium, which was a affair to cut off children and grandchildren, Xu Lin used salt, he observed the salt extraction technology of this era, the ancient method of extracting salt, that salt was more expensive than gold, he offered the salt extraction technology, and it would not be long before it would cause a trade deficit to the northern Hu people, they got salt, but without money, life would become more and more difficult.

The Hu people in the north will eventually bow down to Wuyang.

And Xu Aotian is just fooling around, his plundering mode will only make the following local tyrants and gentry who have successfully merged need money more, in fact, they are in debt, and if they want to absorb a large amount of money in a short time, they can only go the side way, borrow, borrow, and even have violent means to accumulate wealth. The end result is that people are not living well.

Mi Fei led the caravan out of the Qinglong Snow Mountain, quietly borrowed the ghost road, and traveled a thousand miles to the territory of the Hu people, and arrived at the place where the ancient Tianzhu country was located, this road was repeatedly deduced by Xu Lin on the map, and the biggest danger was that he was afraid that the ghost side would suddenly come to someone, even so, it was better than going to the country. Once the incident happened, the political impact on Xu Lin would be devastating.

This is what Mifei knows deeply, the prince is playing a big game of chess, and she does not dare to slack off.

On the other side, after Xu Lin left the Zhengyi Sect, he entered the territory of Xide County, and Xide County was really Xide, and as far as the eye could see, a lonely city was dragged in a plain area.

In Xide County, the county guard Zhang You is the sky, that Zhang Shizhen is the Son of Heaven, this Zhang You doesn't need Wu Wei, it's good to be alive, it's good to be comfortable, Zhang You is the county guard who was personally picked up by the Metropolitan Governor of Fenghuo Road, Xide County is 800 miles of fertile fields, more grain than Baoxing County, Zhang You doesn't worry about the people's livelihood, what he does every day is naturally training.

No, the "Son of Heaven" Zhang Shizhen came with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and robbed his seven handmaidens in just one face, how could he stand it?

Zhang Shizhen stepped forward, looked at the nightingale and green carp beside Xu Lin, and said, "Not only do my seven handmaidens have to be returned to me, but your two are also mine!" Don't think that you are powerful if you are the prince, the whole world knows that you were scared away by Liu Jinglan, the governor of Southeast Province, in my place, you are a dragon and a tiger are lying down! ”

Xu Lin just snorted lightly, ignoring him at all.

Zhang Mingyue came to Xu Lin's side with a knife, squinted at the 20,000 soldiers and horses in front of him, and asked Xu Lin: "Your Highness, what kind of array is this, I haven't seen it, how can it be so long, it doesn't look like our long snake formation!" ”

Xu Lin took out a monocular and looked at it, and said: "Look at the banner, there are few people on the left, and there are many people on the right, although the vanguard is a line, but there are fewer and fewer people from right to left, this is called the slash array, in other worlds, there is a dynasty called ancient Greece, and the famous general Ibaminonda used a formation in the Battle of Leuktra." ”

"What kind of name is this?"

"Their left is the elite, and the right is the ordinary soldiers, and when fighting, as long as the left elite can withstand the pressure, their opponents will feel that they are fighting more and more. But there is a very fatal weakness, if their elite can't stop it, all that's left is a herd of pigs, just kill! ”

Zhang Mingyue understood, became excited, and said, "Prince, I'll go and break his group of pigs!" ”

Zhang Shizhen found that the master and servant ignored him at all, and felt that he had been greatly insulted, and said: "If there is a seed, you will break it!" You're the end of the prince! ”

Xu Lin leaned over and touched the horse's head and said, "Zhang Shizhen, how about you and I take a gamble?" If your 20,000 people are not my opponents, half of the grain in Xide County will be shared with me, and if you win, don't say that your seven maidservants, green carp and nightingale are all yours, and besides, there are countless girls around my sister, all of them are superb, I asked my sister to send them to you! ”

Zhang Shizhen said gloomily: "What you say counts!" ”

Xu Lin said: "I just don't know if you have done your father's master!" ”

"Do!"

"Haha, if your father doesn't listen to you, His Royal Highness will want to rob the army of food, and I will want all the food from your Xide County!"

Zhang Mingyue raised the sword, knocked the horse's belly with his heel, and rushed towards 20,000 soldiers and horses, with the ghost Fang Zhuyu in front, Wuyang's army, Zhang Mingyue can't look down on any of them, besides, even one is ten, and one is a hundred ghost people have been beaten by them like Sun Tzu, what combat effectiveness can this army of one county have?

Zhang Mingyue shouted angrily, led the troops to charge, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring, although his wolf tooth team only left two thousand people, but the momentum was a million army.

The soldiers came out from Xu Lin's side, and finally a small soldier passed by Xu Lin, and was shouting to kill in a low voice, Xu Lin was angry when he heard it, and turned around and glared angrily, it turned out to be Wei Qing who had just learned to ride a horse, Xu Lin scolded: "What is the ghost called, more girls than girls, kill the enemy, kill the enemy, blind yelling!" ”

Wei Qing immediately didn't dare to speak out again, and followed behind Wang Ershuai and Zhao Shanhe, not even bringing a knife.

Zhang Mingyue took the lead, alone to rush the enemy's elite, the remaining 2,000 soldiers chose to kill indiscriminately, they carried a bottle of fire oil, when they were in contact with the enemy formation, threw it high, and then smashed the bottle with feather arrows, and then the rear soldiers ignited the fire oil in the sky, so that the fire fell in the enemy's camp.

This tactic is what Xu Lin once learned from a costume movie, water and fire are ruthless, so that the opponent's morale is gone.

The warriors of the wolf's teeth often want to kill the enemy, and they don't drag the mud and water at all, because the enemy is killing one less and one less, and the matter of capturing the thief and the king has to find an opportunity to do it, because it is too entangled in the decapitation operation, as long as the enemy's command is a bait, it will be troublesome.

This place, including the dragon scales, has not really seen the power of Xu Lin's wolf tooth team, the moment the short soldiers met, the dragon scales and the recruits he brought now were stunned, what kind of devil team is this, two thousand people, 20,000 people have no power to parry, and then look at that Zhang Mingyue, a single person raised a knife to break into the formation, and a knife split a hole.

Only then did the dragon scale realize that this Zhang Mingyue did not fight to the death when he was attacking himself, and he was merciful to his subordinates.

Xu Lin dismounted, the seven women in Tianshu obediently set up a mat and an umbrella for Xu Lin, put a table, and put tea and snacks on it, the tea is the green plum tea made by Xu Lin, he likes the taste of green plums, the snack is Ganoderma lucidum pills, Ganoderma lucidum is almost everywhere in the southwest region, and Ganoderma lucidum pills are naturally Zhao Erye's secret recipe.

Xu Lin squinted at the team and whispered: "The people who train the army are talented, but this Taiping army is far worse than the people of the Western Army, the army should defend the country and fight against foreign insults, and at home, it is good to leave patrols, at most hundreds of thousands of patrols." ”

Zhang Mingyue knew that this was his country's army, and he couldn't kill it all, and when he saw that the opponent's defeat was decided, he led the team and shouted: "Disarm and don't kill!" ”

It took 20,000 to die 5,000, and the remaining 15,000 all knelt down and surrendered.

This Zhang Shizhen's face turned pale.

Zhang Mingyue led people to rob their weapons and armor, forced them into a corner, and then triumphantly walked to Xu Lin's side.

Xu Lin looked at Zhang Shizhen with a smile and said, "How is it, the Earth Emperor's Son of Earth?" Half the city's food and grass! ”

Zhang Shizhen was so frightened by Xu Lin that he fled.

Looking at his back, Xu Lin chuckled and said, "The pearl of rice grains, how dare you compete with the sun and the moon?" Mingyue, tell the county guard Zhang You who told them, I'm here! ”

Xu Lin gave an order, Zhang Mingyue led two thousand soldiers to throw the javelins with their horses towards the gate of Xide County, inserted a city wall, and paralyzed Zhang Shizhen to the ground.

Xu Lin laughed out loud and got up to look at the stolen armor.

So far, the armor worn by the soldiers is still worn out from Shuofang City, dilapidated, but it still works, this ghost side's black iron is really not simple, he has also seen the armor of the Western Army, it is not as good as the toughness and hardness of this black iron, and the armor of this Xide County seems to be stronger than the black iron.

In this world, there are gods everywhere, after all, there are a few kinds of divine iron, he has been thinking about how to give the soldiers some lightweight, strong and durable armor, it seems that there is no better hardness of the armor in the world than the armor of these soldiers in Xidejun.

Xu Lin is ready to personally test the composition of these iron tools and forge a high-hardness steel, according to the steelmaking technology he knows, it will definitely not work, the best steel on the earth is not as good as the most broken iron here, and the commonly used iron here will definitely have an optimal fusion ratio.

Xu Lin was holding two pairs of armor and beating back and forth, listening to their voices, he suddenly heard Zhang Mingyue roaring, "Drag this thing out and chop it for me, Wang Ershuai, Zhao Shanhe, chop it together." ”

Xu Lin felt irritable for a while, what the hell is this grandson doing......
