Chapter 22 The Imperial Court Rewards

This time it was clearly Colch who miscalculated. After Chu Shan entered the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, he did not break the formation, but just kept killing ordinary soldiers. Although Chu Shan was hit from time to time, he was unharmed. Half an hour later, the 12,000 people of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array had already lost five hundred. But he still couldn't see the slightest fatigue in Chu Shan, although Colch was very nervous in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest hint.

An hour later, 15,000 casualties!

Two hours later, three thousand casualties!

Instead of gradually weakening over time, Chu Shan's lethality slowly increased. Three hours later, almost half of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array had already suffered casualties. At this time, the formation had been broken. However, Colch did not give the order to retreat, but increased the troops again, and countless Manchu soldiers gathered densely around Chushan. Chu Shan barely needed much attention to be able to hit the barbarian army around him. Korch was three hundred steps away, looking at Chu Shan who was surrounded by the barbarian army, and couldn't help but sigh, "What a brave general, rare in the world!"

&&Shuai, it seems that this Chushan is not the slightest tired, is he beaten with iron?" said a general beside Korch with a sigh.

&Mobilize 5,000 archers, and if Chu Shan is still as powerful, kill him with a bow and arrow immediately!" Korch said calmly.

"Yes, Marshal, it is full of our people, and when the time comes, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties!" This means that the barbarian generals are immediately shocked, after all, at this time, most of the people who die in archery are their own people.

"Don't be in charge!" said Colch calmly, "don't you know. If Chu Shan is not removed, it will be impossible for us to break through Pingyang Pass. Besides, in the future, this person will definitely be a fierce enemy of our barbarians, no matter how much it costs, this person must be eliminated!"

There was no suspense, and in the end the archers of the barbarian army shot. Bows and arrows were shot all over the sky towards Chu Shan, who kept wielding his big knife to protect the wolf dogs under him. The wolfdog immediately ran towards the archer's position. A piece of wailing, the barbarian army fell in large pieces. The brute soldiers clearly did not expect to be attacked, and were unprepared. Almost hundreds of people died at once. And with the movement of Chu Mountain. The surrounding barbarian troops fell in pieces, which was much more efficient than Zhi Chu Mountain. Chu Shan shouted loudly at this time, "Colch, you are really ruthless. Take this opportunity. Purge dissidents!" Chu Shan's words were not loud. But it was very strange that it clearly entered the ears of the surrounding barbarians. Although everyone was very convinced of Colch, in the barbarian army, there was no strength. He will be swallowed up by other tribes. With Chu Shan's words, the surrounding attacks immediately weakened. But the 5,000 archers did not stop, but did not hesitate to carry out Korch's orders. As a result, Chu Shan was like a god of death in the Manchu army, turning left and right, every time, hundreds of people fell, and with Chu Shan's movements, the barbarian army around Chu Shan was almost killed and wounded.

"Handsome!" said the general beside Korchi, "it can't go on like this!" because in a short quarter of an hour, there were already tens of thousands of barbarians who had been shot dead by their own men. "In this way, Chu Shan did not shoot, and all of our people died. When the time comes, the generals of the tribes will rebel!"

Colch's face turned pale at this time, because he didn't expect Chu Shan to be so difficult, even the archers had no way to shoot Chu Shan, and they didn't even hurt Chu Shan, but their own people were shot a lot. After Chu Shan saw this situation, he did not hesitate and ran directly in the direction of the archer. Slowly approached the archer brigade, after Chu Shan entered, it was like a tiger entering the flock, and the archers were like harvesting wheat by Chu Mountain, and a large piece fell down at once. About half an hour later, Chu Shan broke through the entire archery array. At this time, Chu Shan turned back to Colch and shouted, "Colchi, this is the end of today." Let's continue tomorrow!" After speaking, he laughed and walked towards Pingyang Pass. During this period, although Samba tried his best to stop it, he did not gain anything except the fall of 500 corpses.

After this battle, the barbarian army was killed by Chu Shan and the people who were killed by mistake have reached 15,000. The morale of the barbarians plummeted. Many soldiers didn't even have the courage to face Chu Shan, let alone attack Pingyang Pass, which was guarded by Chu Shan. Chu Shan was not in a hurry, he came out with a big kill in three days and a small kill in two days, so that a month later, the number of soldiers in the barbarian army dropped sharply, becoming less than 80,000. During this period, there was also a small episode, the barbarian army was too heavily oppressed by Chu Shan, and had no choice but to sprinkle their anger on Li Sheng and other generals, and finally after Chu Shan's last charge, Li Sheng and his subordinates and other 10,000 people were all killed. After Chu Shan heard the news, he immediately went out to avenge them, stayed in the barbarian army Dazhai for ten hours, and directly killed more than 10,000 enemies. Thus, to this day, the number of barbarians has grown from 200,000 at the beginning to about 70,000. Although Chu Shan's strength was outstanding, the later barbarian army did not meet Chu Shan at all and fled directly, which made Chu Shan's efficiency drop greatly, and the number of people killed in ten hours was less than half of the previous one.

However, even so, Chu Shan suppressed the barbarian army to the death, and the barbarian army did not attack the city once in this month. The soldiers of Binh Duong Pass continued to train during the month, and their combat effectiveness rose by more than one level. Although he still can't reach the Cheng dù of Chushan's elite soldiers, he can fight with the barbarian army in front of him. After a month of unscrupulous exaltation in Chushan, Korch finally reluctantly retreated. As a result, Chu Shan relied on the 10,000 soldiers on his hands, coupled with his peerless force, and finally repelled the barbarian army. The news immediately spread throughout the Dahan with a perverted rapidity. The name of Chu Shan thus entered the eyes of all forces.

Chushan has not been without harvest this month. With the continuous entry into the battlefield, Chu Shan continued to use the spiritual energy in the natal world to restore the fù, and the refining of meat was already in a state of great perfection before he knew it. Now that the marrow refining has begun, although it is only the first layer, Chu Shan's strength is already 50,000 catties. If you go down with a knife, I'm afraid no one will be able to resist it. Coupled with Chushan's perverted defense, it can be said. Even if Chu Shan stood still and let the enemy attack, I am afraid that he would not be able to hurt Chu Shan in the slightest. However, the town guard side does not rely on just one person, someone must manage it. It is impossible for Chu Shan to care about everything, if this is the case, Chu Shan may not have time to cultivate in the future. Which is more important, Chu Shan can still distinguish clearly.

After the barbarian army retreated, Chushan posted a notice to prepare to gather the displaced people. Pingyang Pass in Chushan can accommodate at least 100,000 people. Meanwhile. Chushan adopted Du Haibo's Jianyì. A messenger was sent to Kyoto to report the good news. When Chushan's military report arrived in Kyoto of the Han Dynasty, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces were simply unbelievable. In the end, it was Uncle Guo who came to take it seriously, and discussed that it was to send spies to find out the news. When their spies reported the situation, everyone was stunned. Because it wasn't Chushan who relied on these 10,000 people to defend Pingyang Pass. Instead, he alone blocked the army of hundreds of thousands of barbarians. Is there really such a powerful person in the world? All the ministers could not help but ask themselves secretly.

Afterwards. There was not the slightest doubt about Chu Shan's reward. The Chinese Wu did not want to offend such a powerful figure. But how to reward is a vexing problem. The current big man. The emperor's order is almost impossible to leave the capital, even if it is rewarded something, it is still a castle in the air. Lack of sincerity. In the end, it was a minister who transferred the county guard of the northern county to the Beijing division, and sealed Chushan as the county guard of the northern county, and guarded Pingyang Pass by the way. As long as Chu Shan is there, the barbarian army outside Pingyang Pass will not be able to take a step beyond Lei Chi, which will not only solve the problem of Chu Shan's reward, but also allow Chu Shan to guard the northern barrier, killing two birds with one stone.

As a result, Chu Shan's reward was realized at an extraordinary speed. Although Chu Shan didn't care about these false names, he couldn't ignore the people under him. So after Chu Shan was promoted to the county guard of the northern county, Du Haibo was immediately promoted to the head of the northern county. Zhang Zhang and Li Daniu were generals, and their subordinates each expanded their troops to 10,000, and Zhang Zhang guarded Pingyang Pass, and Li Daniu followed Chushan into Yiqu County, the county of Northern County. Beidi County is located in the north of Dahan, is one of the 26 counties of Dahan, because it is located in the north, the land is vast and sparsely populated, although the area is the largest of the 26 counties of Dahan, 400 li long, 300 li wide, showing a long and narrow shape, but the population is indeed the smallest, only less than 500,000. There are 12 counties in the entire northern county, and except for Yiqu County, which has a population of more than 100,000, the rest of the counties only have a population of 350,000. And with the invasion of the barbarian army, the population of the entire Northland County has been greatly lost, and the current population is only about 100,000. This still includes Chushan's 20,000 troops. This is really not good news. However, what can be somewhat comforting is that all the heroes of Beidi County have left, which provides great convenience for Chushan to govern Northern County in the future, as long as Chushan can have good policies, he will not worry about having no population.

Du Haibo is indeed a rare talent, and after taking up the post of the chief of the northern county, he immediately began to govern the people's livelihood. Various policies for recruiting displaced people continued to appear, and they were directly announced after Chu Shan combined some of the experiences of later generations. Then start tuntian and reduce expenses. Finally, a series of convenient policies were formulated. Under the strong intervention of Chu Shan, the tax rate of the northern county was changed from 10 taxes to 20 taxes, and all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were abolished, such as the city entry tax, the poll tax, the field tax, etc. In other words, the common people in the northern counties only need to pay the tax of 20 and 1 set by the government, and do not need to bear any other taxes. Of course, Chushan listed the commercial tax separately, specifically mentioning the concept of transaction tax, stipulating that the transaction tax is one-fiftieth, that is, for every hundred taels of transactions, two taels of tax must be paid.

After the whole Dahan got the news, there was an uproar. However, given Chu Shan's strength, no one came to provoke. After the common people heard the news, they thought of Chu Shan's strength, and began to flow frantically towards the northern county. The massive exodus of the local population has forced officials in the counties to take coercive measures to forcibly prohibit the displaced people from entering the northern counties. But even so, dozens of people smuggled into the northern county every day across the mountains. Once he entered the territory of the Northern County, Chu Shan announced that these people were the common people of the Northern County, and the officials and troops of the other counties were not allowed to oppress, otherwise they would definitely fight back. Therefore, the northern county of Chushan is a piece of paradise among the common people of the whole country, and they want to enter it in every possible way. However, with the obstruction of officials in various places, it has gradually become more and more difficult for ordinary people to enter the northern county, and there are only a few scattered people every day. However, even so, the population of Northern County exceeded one million in just three months. (To be continued......)
