The turf is definitely a good thing.

Otherwise, there would not be so many people in history who were ruined and their families ruined.

Xiong Chu has never felt that land is a good thing, and many people have urged him to get a piece of land, either explicitly or implicitly, but he has found all kinds of excuses to avoid this issue.

Now, Xiong Chu hopes that between his reaches, there is a real piece of land of his own, and the bigger the better.

As the saying goes: save people to the end.

After the slave was freed, Prince Xiong realized that he hadn't even finished the first step.

No matter how much food or silver was given to the slaves, it was useless, because in the blink of an eye, they would be snatched away by the slave owners, and then they would be reduced back to the lowest slave: Gashi.

Xiong Chu found out for the first time that it was too difficult to be a real hero, much more difficult than being a killer.

The difficulty is that when you are a killer, you can do whatever you want, as long as you kill the target, or rescue the target, it is over, and there is no follow-up tail to bother with.

If you want to be a generation of heroes, there are many things.

To save a person is to save it completely, you can't turn around and get arrested again, or even killed. That's not saving people, it's harming people.

Moreover, Xiong Chu did not save one person, but rescued tens of thousands of people at once.

These tens of thousands of people are people who have no ability to protect themselves, and they are also people who have not been recognized by the local community, so they have no place to stand.

There is no inch of soil below, no tile above, and no inch of body. The real ones who have nothing are the people who are talking about it.

Now, how to keep these people alive, and live like a human being, has become the primary problem for the bear reserve.

This time, An Guoxiong, Fan Hu, and those Arnold and Qu Nuo were all released without any abuse.

Moreover, Prince Xiong also asked Sima Cheng to gather all the captured soldiers and slaves, let Fan Hu and An Guoxiong do the mobilization work, and everyone who was willing to go with them would be allowed to go.

The final results showed that there were more than 7,000 soldiers and slaves who were willing to follow Fan Hu and An Guoxiong away.

For these people, Xiong Chu naturally will not distribute food and silver, because these people do not need to be rescued at all.

Since they have chosen to continue to be slaves, it means that they have made all kinds of preparations, and Prince Xiong will not do anything more.

Doing good deeds and doing great righteousness also have to be divided into objects, and they cannot be generalized.

You think it's unbearable to be a slave, but these people find it nourishing.

The choice to release An Guoxiong and those Arnold and Qu Nuo caused great controversy in the Xiong family's army, and in the end, it was Prince Xiong who decided with a word.

Prince Xiong's reason is very simple, although An Guoxiong and those Arnold and Qu Nuo deserve to die, now is not a good time to kill.

Once An Guoxiong and others are killed, An Bangyan and Yu Chongming will inevitably lead the whole army to attack immediately.

Now that these people have come to a strange area, the time, place, and people are not standing, and in the end it must be a very tragic end.

Also, although Fan Hu is the deputy commander of the defenders of the Qiaojia camp, he was only ordered to lead troops to garrison here. It is a general's duty to lead troops to launch a counterattack, so he doesn't deserve to die.

Not only did he not deserve to die, but Prince Xiong also admired him very much, and even let Huang Yanying and Xia Yun do jobs, persuading him to stay and continue to be the chief soldier.

However, Fan Hu said something, and Xiong Chu had no choice but to give up: "From my heart, when I was in Funiu Mountain, I wanted to stay and follow the Lockthroat Kenhachiro, but I couldn't help myself." Because I was originally from a luxury family, I came to Anjia as a young lady to accompany the wedding guard. ”

"My eldest brother Fan Long is still the chief military officer of Luxury Chongming, if I leave, my eldest brother Fan Long will definitely be killed by Luxury Chongming and An Bangyan. In any way, I can't harm my eldest brother's family for my own sake, so I have to go back. ”

In the next half month, Prince Xiong ordered Sima Cheng, with the help of Feng Suqin, to divide the trapped camp into three groups and escort more than 20,000 people who were willing to follow him to the south in batches.

In the early hours of this morning, the last batch of supplies had already left Qiaojia Camp, and Fang Qianxun took the Boy Scouts, Zhou Chang and others to leave Qiaojia Camp with the Juvenile Camp.

There were more than 1,400 people left in Mandeli's Chinese army guard battalion around Prince Xiong, so he ordered someone to release Fan Hu, An Guoxiong and others.

As for whether they will continue to stay in Qiaojiaying or move immediately, this is not something that Xiong Chu considers.

During the whole process of the raid on Qiaojiaying, Xiong Chu never met with An Guoxiong and Fan Hu, but asked Huang Yanying and Fang Qianxun, a pair of "red horse double pride", to come forward.

This is mainly out of long-term considerations, to ensure that the deterrent power of a mysterious killer always exists, so that An Bangyan and Hao Chongming can have scruples in their next decisions and buy time for themselves.

After everything was dealt with, Prince Xiong realized that it was definitely not a small problem to settle more than 20,000 slaves.

At the very least, without a territory within a radius of tens of miles, it will definitely not be able to feed these people.

But where is the territory? The bear prince sat on the back of the horse, and he had no idea what to do.

At noon the next day, Prince Xiong finally joined up with the large army that had been transferred in three batches.

Looking at the campsite in the valley that stretched for more than ten miles, Xiong Chu's heart was furious: "What kind of place is this?"

Lan'er and Yan Erniang came over together, so naturally their eyes were black. As a personal bodyguard, Mandeli certainly doesn't know what this place is.

Fortunately, Huang Yanying had already come over in advance, and saw Xiong Chu and others coming, so she hurriedly greeted her: "Senior brother, this place is called Tang Dan, Feng Suqin asked us to set up camp here temporarily, she rushed back to report to her mother, it is estimated that it will take four days to go back and forth, because here is still two hundred and forty miles away from the Wuding Xuanwei Division." ”

"So far away?" Xiong Chu's brows suddenly furrowed: "Senior sister, you came here first, how is the situation here?"

Huang Yanying shook her head: "The situation is not very good, it seems that people are very wary of us." We came up from a river valley fifty miles west of Dongchuan Mansion, and now eighty miles to the northeast is Dongchuan Mansion. ”

"Dongchuan Mansion was originally managed by officials sent by the imperial court, but it didn't stand up, so it was handed over to Muwangfu. As a result, Mu Wangfu did not gain a firm foothold, and later became the territory of Luo Wubu. ”

An Bangyan suddenly sat down, and his power swelled rapidly and then developed southward, and he fought a battle with Luo Wubu here, and as a result, Dongchuan Mansion became the territory of Shuixi Tusi's position, that is, the place where An Guoxiong guarded. ”

"An Guoxiong has 4,000 troops here, but the senior brother has the kindness of a woman to release him. I see, Feng Suqin put us here just to block An Guoxiong. ”

"But Feng Suqin didn't make these things clear at first, if we knew this, we should have killed An Guoxiong, and then waved our army south to seize the city of Dongchuan Mansion, so that we could rely on it. ”

"We are being thrown here now, which happens to be the junction of Luo Wubu and An Guoxiong. Although the above names belong to the territory of the Luo Wu Department, in fact, there are no people from the Luo Wu Department here. ”

"What's more, after our first batch of people came, Feng Suqin moved the 600 households here to Jiulong and Gongshan, which are hundreds of miles away to the south. Feng Suqin said that she was letting us settle our subordinates, but I didn't think I was at ease. ”

Yan Erniang said with a smile: "According to Ying'er, we will now directly help Luo Wubu guard the north gate, and there is no gate yet, and the enemy can come at any time." No wonder Suqin's girl said they were in danger. ”

Prince Xiong handed the reins to Hu Meiniang behind him, and began to patrol along the valley, and at the same time said to Sima Cheng who ran over: "Send out all the scouts immediately, and do your best to find out the surrounding environment." The terrain is treacherous, and it is necessary to camp halfway up the mountain to the west. ”

Sima Cheng jumped off his horse and said, "Master, the scouts have been sent out, and this is indeed not a place to set up camp. You'll have to walk more than forty miles south to reach Oolong Town, which turned out to be a relatively large town. ”

"I have ordered the trees below to be cut down to strengthen the fence, and at the same time to build watchtowers, so that a rudimentary defensive city can be formed. The materials seized from Qiaojiaying have been transported over and can last for a while. ”

Xiong Chu shook his head: "No! We have an army, how can we go to the rear? You quickly transfer more than 20,000 people to Wulong Town behind, and the tiger squat artillery team trapped in the camp immediately set up a tiger squat artillery position, and the others cut down wood and set up a fence. ”

"Huang Yanying and Xia Yun's Chinese army camp immediately led the boy scouts, youth battalion and villagers to move south, striving to be able to arrive in Wulong Town tomorrow to settle down, and then set up a camp on the spot to undertake the defense of Wulong Town. ”

Sima Cheng also wanted to fight for it: "Master, you go to the back with the Chinese army battalion, this place is defended by more than 2,000 people in our camp." Even if An Guoxiong counterattacked, they would attack from the back. In front of the tiger squatting cannon, it is impossible for them to take advantage for a while. ”

Xiong Chu waved his hand impatiently: "You don't talk nonsense, I'm here, I won't go anywhere, hurry up and do your thing." Huang Yanying, Xia Yun, you immediately lead the villagers to move away, this place is not a place to stay for a long time. Even if there is no war, there is no food. Hu Meiniang, your guard camp is looking for a place to set up camp. ”

Tangdan is known as the "Tiannan Copper Capital" and has a history of mining and copper smelting for thousands of years.

The others were busy, and Prince Xiong took Lan'er, Yan Erniang, and Mandali to start all the inspections, and finally he was rushed to find the Yamen of the Superintendent Division, which was already in half-ruin, on a hill to the west.

This yamen is not small, although it is overgrown with weeds, the walls of the house are still there. As soon as Mandeli gave the order, the guard battalion immediately drove in to clean up, and the Chinese army tent and guard battalion were here.

"Xianggong, this is not a long-term solution. Yan Erniang shook her head after walking around the neighborhood: "Except for the copper mine that is useful to us, this place is not like feeding people." And the place is too cramped to have the slightest room for manoeuvre, it is too dangerous. ”

Xiong Chu smiled bitterly: "Of course I know this problem, but I am new to the place, and I am not familiar with life, so I have to observe quietly for a while." If Feng Suqin and the others really use us as gunmen, things will be a different matter. Also, what is the situation of their Western Route Army, will your golden eagle be able to spot them?"

Not to mention, Xiong Chu is worried about the Western Route Army of the military advisor Wan Lian, and the current military advisor Wan Lian is really in trouble.

Because the places where the Western Route Army passed through were the most important post roads in the southwest heavily guarded by the imperial court.

Starting from the Changhe Tuqianhu Office to the south, there are the Dadu River Shouyu Thousand Households, Mianshan Bridge Thousand Households, Lizhou Hou Thousand Households, Lizhou Town Thousand Households, Lizhou Qianqian Households, Dechang Thousand Households, Miyi Thousand Households, and all the way to the southernmost Huichuan Wei (now Huili).

On this road, almost every two hundred miles, there were thousands of households guarding the key places, and a total of 24,000 troops were hoarded, so it was almost difficult for them to train their military advisors.

After a month and a half of breaking through the passes, trekking through mountains and rivers, they finally appeared on the east side of the territory of Ninglang Tusi Muji, that is, to the west of the Miyi Qianhu of Huichuanwei.
