After Shi Jin and Chen Da talked about the business community in Huayin County, there was no useful conclusion in the end. Shi Jin was afraid that Chen Da would think too much about it and be depressed, which would ruin his recovery, so Shi Jin talked with him again They talked and laughed about many interesting things that happened during the battle with the officers and soldiers, and also explained in detail how to conquer the many heroes in Huayin County.

"Brother, the Liu Quantian you are talking about is Mr. Liu who was kicked out of the Huang family." Chen Da once lived in Huayin County and naturally knows a lot about the people here. Today I heard Shi Jin say , I feel more and more friendly.

"No, it's Mr. Liu, Di Yan, Dong Xi, Gu Yanbing and the others," Shi Jin said with a smile. It's true that such a group of talents can be found in Huayin County. It is indeed not only a pleasant thing to hear, but also extremely pleasant to say. After all, if you want to expand your territory and consolidate your foundation, it is not enough to just rely on the current foundation. You need to develop your human and financial resources. Only in this way can you expand your territory and consolidate your foundation. Steady growth.

"Di Yan, Dong Xi, Gu Yanbing," Chen Da said slowly one by one, as if he was reciting poems and commenting on them carefully, saying: "They are all real good men, and their abilities are really different. Damn, my brother is very capable. With them coming to seek refuge, there is no reason why we should not grow stronger. God help us, God help us."

"Yeah, if they hadn't come in time, I'm afraid you and I wouldn't be here right now," Shi Jin couldn't help but sigh when he thought of what happened at that time.

When talking about these characters, Chen Dake became more talkative, talking one after another, and told Shi Jin all the famous or sensational past events in the past. Chen Da's words were not only interesting, but also Shi Jin could listen to them. They were also very fascinated. Sometimes they laughed happily when they talked about their happiness, and sometimes they shouted happily when they committed a crime. It was just like this until Li Baicao's servant came to report that the drum was beating on the tower, and Shi Jin Chen Dacai suddenly felt that time flew by.

Chen Da knew that it was the rally drumbeat of Shaohua Mountain. Shi Jin ordered the young man who came to invite Li Baicao to come over. He also asked for a two-wheeled cart from Baicaotang. After a while, Li Baicao came in a hurry and led someone to push it. He brought the two-wheeled car, and Shi Jin carefully moved Chen Da on the car and headed to the Ximen Tower together.

【Ximen Tower】

The city wall above the west gate has returned to its former appearance after a night's rest. Except for the west gate, which still has some signs of broken wood and debris, recording the brutality of yesterday's battle, both the street facing the west city and the two sides From the house, looking from above, all traces of the war have been completely obliterated, and the long and narrow marks made by swords and arrows have been stepped on by the brisk footsteps of the people coming and going.

After escaping the war for several days, when the people came out of their locked doors, they felt that the world had changed. Since Shi Jin distributed the only food to the people without hesitation, he also After dealing with the "Three Hengs" (Huang family, Kong family, and county magistrate) in Huayin County, the people can't say whether Shi Jin will bring them the good life they want, but it is true at the moment Another piece of blue sky was held up.

This piece of blue sky is different from the smoky atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, but all this is just a flash in the pan, and it is still the beginning of a paradise. This has to make the people worry about it. As the current lord of the city, Shi Jin is also secretly considering this Such a question.

"The big boss,"

Seeing Shi Jin stepping in from the door of the West Gate Tower, the brothers standing in the tower stopped what they were saying, and all clasped their fists to exert force. Shi Jin clasped his fists in return, and Chen Da, who was carried in from behind, also met everyone. After a brief reminiscence of old times and familiarity, everyone was seated.

There are three top chairs on the left, namely Chen Da, Li Baicao, and Shi Qian, and four top chairs on the right, namely Liu Quantian, Gu Yanbing, Di Yan, and Dong Xi. All the brothers are seated.

Shi Jin sat at the top, feeling a little happy but also a little worried: "After these days of fighting, Huayin County is finally in the hands of our brothers. It's a joy to congratulate, but it's also a worry."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and nodded secretly. Everyone knew more or less what Shi Jin said.

"Liu Sanye, you have commanded officers and soldiers before, and you know their tempers best. There is an extremely important matter at the moment that requires you to go in person," Shi Jin said, and Liu Quantian did not hesitate. Put your hands into fists.

"Please give me the order from the head of the household, and I will help you get it done,"

Shi Jin nodded firmly and said: "Last night, the fire burned five camps of officers and soldiers. All brothers must have heard and seen it, and the main force of the officers and soldiers, the elite troops, died in the ambush of Di Yan, Gu Yanbing, and Liu Sanye. In the middle, more of the main force was defeated by the fire, especially the officers and soldiers camp. I led my troops to chase and kill them several times. Those officers and soldiers were either burned to death by the fire, or died under the iron hoof of the blade. The rest all panicked and fled into the mountains behind. Later, I visited the remaining four official camps without pursuing them any more, in order to give them a chance to escape."

When Shi Jin talked about this, Liu Quantian and Gu Yanbing also remembered the scene last night. The officers and soldiers rushed out of the military camp and ran into the mountains and forests to save their lives. At that time, Gu Yanbing asked Shi Jin if he wanted to pursue them. I clearly remember that Shi Jin's face with a slight smile was just like Shi Jin's expression with a hint of confidence now.

Shi Jin paused and continued: "These soldiers have no grievances against us. Mr. Liu, please go to those mountains and forests to gather them. Those who are willing to stay in Huayin County, no matter what Planting vegetables or serving as soldiers, accept them all. If you don't want to stay here and miss your hometown, let them go."

Liu Quantian responded with clasped fists, and he had such a broad aura in his heart. However, although he applauded Shi Jin's step in his heart, the problem was still before him, how to summon those officers and soldiers since they had entered the forest.

Before Liu Quantian could speak, Shi Jin said again: "Di Yan, you cleared the battlefield in the city last night. Where are the horses that were killed by Dong Xi?"

Di Yan stood up and bowed slightly and said: "I left everything to the military's logistics. Now that I have disemboweled it, I'm afraid it will be packed up soon so that our brothers can have a few meals."

"Dong Xi, you are very good at holding a kitchen knife. Good guy, how many official cavalry have been broken in your hands? Hahaha" Shi Jin laughed with everyone, and Shi Jin said again: "Dong Xi, these horse meat It's all yours, can you give me a few more pots?"

Dong Xi was embarrassed by Shi Jin. When everyone laughed like this, the fat man actually became a little shy like a girl. He knew that his elder brother would joke with him again, so he smiled slightly and said: "Brother, it's okay to take it. "

"Hahaha, okay, with Dong Xi's pots of fragrant horse meat here, everything will be easy to handle," Shi Jin smiled and waved to Di Yan, who had just stood up, to take a seat, then turned to look at Liu Quantian and said, "Liu Quantian said Third Master, after staying up all night, those officers and soldiers are probably almost hungry. In the afternoon, you took these pots of horse meat and sat down in the forest. You just set up the stove and simmered it over a high fire. Once the fragrance dissipated, Those people's noses are probably sharper than those of dogs now. If you send people to persuade them to surrender in the mountains, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Okay," Liu Quantian clapped his hands immediately upon hearing this order.

Shi Jin smiled and nodded, then continued: "We captured Huayin County and killed the imperial officials. The imperial court will not remain silent like this. There will definitely be some action. How much time do we have to recuperate now? It’s really hard to say this, but it’s not wrong to recruit troops. However, as the number of troops increases, problems will come one after another. Training, equipment, pay, etc. all need to be considered. At the moment, we have no choice but to rely on the mountain and rely on the mountain. The water is drafty,"

This last sentence was very mysterious, and everyone had their own understanding of it. Therefore, for a while, some people shook their heads, some nodded, and some secretly clenched their fists.

In Li Baicao's view, the mountains and water refer to the people. Since everything has been said here, Shi Jin's meaning is probably to rely on the strength of the people in this city. However, judging from everything before, Shi Jin Jin doesn't seem to be someone who makes people's lives worse. What's more, it's a lean period and the city is short of food and grass. When talking about shortage, he has to think of medicinal materials and the nearly a thousand wounded. Li Baicao Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

Chen Da, who was sitting on the two-wheeled vehicle at this moment, secretly clenched his fists because he focused on a verb, which was "depend". Huayin County is located in the southeast of Yongxing Military Road. It is close to Guanxi Town and Fushui Town to the west. If these two towns are brought together, not only can Huayin County's defense foundation be consolidated, but the exchange of resources can also make Huayin County rich and well-fed.

However, the brothers sitting opposite them at this moment did not think so. After this night of fighting, they knew that there was something that people could really rely on. In the camp of those officers and soldiers, even though everyone was dead, The camp was destroyed, but those armors, swords and guns were scattered in large areas on the battlefield. Since these are ready-made things, why not use them for our own use, just like the officers and soldiers' armor recovered last night, with a few modifications. Let our army's equipment, those swords, guns and arrow feathers, be re-polished and they will be an excellent thing to start with. This will not only save a lot of labor and financial resources, but also save a lot of time. What's the point of having such a good thing at your fingertips? If not, all the brothers nodded repeatedly when they thought of this.

Shi Jin, who was sitting at the top, saw the different reactions of everyone. He knew what they were thinking at a glance, and he understood in his heart. Li Baicao focused on the internal affairs of Huayin County, so he naturally had to consider the people's livelihood. More, and Chen Da focused on the stability around Huayin County, and coupled with his habit of staying in the village for many years, it did make sense to consider that. However, those generals who returned from the battlefield with bloody battles just chose It's not between the two, it's more practical.
