Travel to the Water Margin

Chapter 212 Layout
After the war, Lin Youde's tiger riders were inserted on the three passes of Hutou Pass, Huzhuo Pass, and Huya Pass, and were directly nailed to the pass where Song Dynasty entered the Xixia Commercial Road.

In the whole day, deal with the battlefield where there were many dead and wounded, and collect rich spoils such as food, weapons, horses and so on left over from the three passes of Xixia.

At dusk, Lin Youde, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen killed the horses and offered sacrifices to the dead in front of the battle.

The corpses of the enemy were gathered in a large pit dug urgently, burned to ashes first, and then buried.As for the other wounded, Lin Youde took them all as prisoners after thinking for a while.

In this battle, Lin Youde killed 350 four magic soldiers, killed nearly 4000 enemies, and captured more than 5000 Xixia leather armor soldiers and more than 1 strong men, totaling more than [-] people.

In a sense, it must be a beautiful victory.

After the processing was completed, the whole army celebrated with fire and fire everywhere. Soldiers danced with knives and guns, sang and danced with their arms high, and the aroma of barbecue permeated the three Xiongguan.

"My lord, the Xixia leaders who were captured here are here." Lin Chong entered an army tent and reported to Lin Youde who was carefully wiping the Dragon Blood Knife inside.

"Okay." Lin Youde withdrew the Dragon Blood Saber. This battle was not easy to win, but now there is a more important problem waiting for Lin Youde to deal with, how to deal with these 1 people.

As soon as Lin Youde walked out of the big tent, he immediately saw the densely packed Xixia soldiers, and some figures could be vaguely seen in the high and low light and shade, looking at Lin Youde with lingering fear.

There was a quiet silence outside the tent, and the group of generals stood motionless outside like wooden stakes.

A gust of wind swirled past, the sky filled with dark clouds, thunder rolled past, and scattered raindrops fell with the wind.

"The sinful general pays homage to the Great Song General." A group of hundreds of Xixia generals knelt down tremblingly to pay respects to Lin Youde.

"My lord, do you want to chop them off?" Lu Zhishen was wrapped in a white hemostatic cloth all over his body, his whole body was churning with anger and blood, and most of the long beard on his face was missing.

"No, we still need them." Lin Youde turned his head to look at them, "Now, which one of you has the highest control?"

"Here" the kneeling Xixia soldiers looked at each other, and the last one-eyed veteran looked up.

"My lord, more than a hundred households have been wiped out, and the next one is Su Di, the chief minister."

Lin Youde looked at him, the corners of his mouth twitching, good guys, no wonder, you guys will lose, but Lin Youde remembered this veteran right away.

"This general is very fair. Now, there are two paths in front of you. You want to live or die." Lin Youde sat in front of him, looking at the group of soldiers who had become silent.

They are thinking, wandering in front of life and home country.

Finally, someone stood up.

"Fart! Brothers! Come with me!! Kill this Song dog." As soon as a soldier stood up and roared, a cold light flashed across, and his body and head were separated.

I saw Lin Chong jumping up suddenly, his breathing was short of breath, his eyes shot out a menacing fierce light, and a long spear had been retracted behind his back.

"We surrender." Su Di raised his head in horror as the blood poured onto his face, and then quickly lowered his head to beg for mercy.

"Okay, then from today, the third Hutou pass will be renamed Hulao pass, and you will be the commander of our Hulao army." Lin Youde laughed and threw a command token to Su Di.

"Thank you, General." Su Di held up the token with trembling hands. Since he picked up the token, he has been tied to the same chariot as Lin Youde. One day, Xixia will regain the Tiger Head Pass If so, others can return, but the only thing waiting for him is death.

"Come here, enjoy the wine." Lin Youde laughed and drank it down, and then laughed: "You take care of the tiger's head and let me guard it. There will be many places for you to guard in the future."

Su Di hurriedly raised his glass, feeling agitated in his heart. These words made it clear that Lin Youde was telling him some shocking secret. These words were of great importance and would affect the changes in the situation between the two countries.

Everyone drank heavily.

Lin Youde smiled slightly, and called Su Di, Lin Chong, and Lu Zhishen to sit on the floor in the tent without any scruples: "Starting tonight, the guards at the three gates of Hutou will be more tightly guarded, and starting tomorrow, the passages between the three gates will be opened. Let the three passes of Hutou become a powerful pass to intercept the Song and Xixia countries."

Hutou Pass, Huzhuo Pass, and Huya Pass are all located on a huge gap in the mountain range, and the distance between the three is more than [-] meters. In the past, Xixia spent a lot of money to pile up the distance of [-] meters. They built a three-meter-high city wall outpost and regarded the valley within the [-]-meter city wall as a garrison camp.

But it has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has long been dilapidated. Even the barracks cannot be lived in, and it is deserted.

Therefore, the defenders stationed at the third pass of Hutou were divided into three, and each of them was stationed in the castle inside the pass. Not to mention disturbing the people, they even interfered with the normal order of the civil affairs officials in the pass.

Therefore, after Lin Youde settled and disrupted these Xixia soldiers, the second thing he had to do was to return the property to its original owner and reorganize the upper and lower passes.

Su Di toasted Lin Youde and said, "General, do you want to repair the barracks later? Winter is approaching, and after the repairs are completed, the soldiers will be exposed to the cold in the valley."

"Don't worry, we've seen the garrison valley before. There are water sources and farmers raising three animals in it. As long as we build the city wall higher, we can build barracks in the garrison valley along the city wall, raise fish, plow the fields, and raise animals." Three animals, one year later, we will be self-sufficient." Lin Chong's eyes glowed golden, the importance of the Shoujun Valley is self-evident, even after Lin Youde woke up, when they went to Huya Pass, they stopped to check Fan.

It is a pity that such a good place is abandoned. The Valley of the Guards is located near Huya Pass. It is a hollow mountain with a tiankeng surrounded by mountains on three sides. It also forms a complete ecological system inside. Once troops are stationed here, it will be regarded as the Besieged by the enemy, as long as you keep this gap, you will be self-sufficient for a year.

Abandoning the garrison valley is a big trick of the Xixia army. If the garrison valley is still there, Lin Youde, who lacks siege equipment, can only leave in despair.

Lin Youde and his party are only suitable for short-term battles of blitzkrieg and ambush warfare. The longer the front line is dragged, the more dangerous it will be.

Su Di hurriedly returned the respect, staring at the flickering spring fire surrounded by the center.

Lin Youde cut off a piece of deliciously burnt barbecue meat from the horse's leg, and handed it to him, "You should eat and drink. With me, Lin Youde, there will definitely be a piece of meat for you to eat. Why are you afraid of sending troops from Xixia?"

Everyone applauded loudly and toasted each other.

Su Di murmured a few words in a low voice, and suddenly a pair of tiger eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Toast to the general." After drinking it, it was like becoming another person, full of pride and confidence. .

After a while, Lu Zhishen asked, "Have you seen these two recently?"

Lu Zhishen took out two portraits that were somewhat similar to those of Wu Song and Lao Huang and handed them to Su Di.

Su Di was slightly startled. After examining them carefully, he said sheepishly: "General Right, we have never seen these two people at Hutou Pass."

It's hard for Lao Huang to say, but Wu Song's outfit is too unconventional and eye-catching. Once they have seen similar outfits, it is easy to remember them, so they really haven't seen them.

Lin Chong smiled wryly and said, "Not in these three levels, could it be that they were blown to heaven by the strong wind?"

Lin Youde turned to Su Di and said, "Do you know where the nearest Xixia town is?"

"I only know that there is a town 3 meters away from Hutou Pass, where the girls are very open."

"Hey." The elders immediately smiled knowingly.

Su Di blushed and said, "General, are you buying and selling war horses?"

"Buying and selling war horses?" Lin Youde frowned, thought for a while, and then thought, everyone knows that Xixia is good at horses.

Lin Chong suggested: "My lord, why don't we divide our troops into two groups? The one way is waiting for the man to bring the antidote, and the other way is to lead troops to search for the two brothers Wu Song and Lao Huang along the way at the third pass of Hutou? Maybe we can solve it easily."

Lu Zhishen gave a thumbs up to this, nodded and said, "As long as we send out thousands of people, we will be able to find the two brothers back as long as we can."

A few people were drinking and eating meat while discussing how to arrange follow-up matters. There is no dictatorship here in Lin Youde, everything is discussed and brainstormed.

Such management made Su Di even more astonished and pleasantly surprised. Finally, Su Di patted his chest and said fiercely: "My lord, let me take my subordinates. Let's search for the two lost generals. We are very familiar with this place."

Lin Youde smiled and said, "Okay, find them two to settle the score? It's been so many days and we haven't found us yet. Could it be that these two guys are having fun on those girls' bellies?"

Several people couldn't help laughing, and finally Lin Chong said: "Then, my lord, according to the plan, Monk Hua will act as the supervisor of the garrison valley, and Su Di will lead the troops to look for the two brothers, so let's go to Xixia for a while? Or wait for that person to arrive here?" ?”

Lin Youde shook his head and said: "According to the plan, he should have appeared in Sanguan a few days ago, and then waited for us on the street, but so far there has been no sound. I am worried that he will be tricked and delayed halfway. Monk Hua is here I don't worry, we will go to Xixia to find him."

Lin Chong agreed: "I understand."

Lin Youde looked down at the account book: "There are more than 1 soldiers and horses registered in the Sanguan, and 1 are counted if the captured young men are counted."

"How many people do we have?" Lin Youde looked at Su Di. Building the city wall requires manpower, and if manpower is needed, it is insignificant to take care of their basic necessities of life.

"General," Su Di said after thinking for a while, "The people in Sanguan are about 8 people."

"8 people." Lin Youde looked at the happiness index in Hulao Pass that appeared in the system. It was only a pitiful 0.005% point.

Host territory:

In Dengzhou, the happiness index is 73%, the daily tax is equivalent to 4120 taels, and the monthly tax is 2360 taels.

Bilandu, the happiness index is 85%, the daily tax is equivalent to 6730 taels, and the monthly tax is 20 taels.

Hulaoguan, the happiness index is 0.005%, the daily tax is equivalent to 0 taels, and the monthly tax is 0 taels.

"More than 60% can be rich." Lin Youde's system has a function of getting money. After the ruling people's happiness index exceeds 60%, each person will generate a tax of 1 penny per day. 8 people will be 800 taels a day. Ten people are three taels. If calculated in this way, the 8 people in Hulaoguan are 2 taels.

That's a lot of money in a month.

"Su Di, recruit laborers from the people in Sanguan to build the city wall, provide daily board and lodging, and pay 3 taels a month." Taking from the people and using them for the people, the evil capital forest is online.

"General" Su Di was stunned and finally agreed.

"As for the military pay at Hulao Pass, it's 3 taels per person per month," Lin Youde thought for a while and then said, "The strong men recruited will be recruited as tiger soldiers."

"Tell the soldiers that being an archer will give you 1 tael a month, a pikeman 1 tael a month, and a cavalry 5 taels a month."

"Thank you, General!" Su Di bowed down again with great joy. You must know that an ordinary soldier only costs 2 taels of silver a month!

"More than that, we can't just sit on the mountain and eat nothing. Once the city wall is repaired, we will build one of the three gates, and then open a city gate to collect the customs fee. One-third of the money recovered will be used for people's livelihood in the customs. All of it will be used as military pay."

"Yes, General, I understand." Su Di nodded, this is a routine operation, and they did the same before, but most of the money went into the General's pocket.

"My lord, how about I stay and watch them build the city wall?" Lu Zhishen finished a jar of wine in one gulp, and then said loudly.

Lin Youde looked at Lu Zhishen, and asked with interest: "Then how many soldiers and horses do you need?"

Lu Zhishen was overjoyed and said, "Naturally, the more the better, Brother Lin and Brother Wu's ability to spread beans into soldiers, I am very envious."

Lin Youde shook his head. Lu Zhishen was familiar with Lin Chong and Wu Song's ability to summon troops several times, but every time Lin Youde divided his troops, Lu Zhishen missed it by chance. This unlucky boy.

Lin Youde began to check how many soldiers he had now.

Excluding the assigned troops and the remaining troops in various territories, there are actually quite a few troops in Lin Youde's hands now.

There are 1 3-star sword and shield players.

There are 1 one-star archers.

There are 2 six 540-star pikemen.

There are 3 1-star heavy cavalry.

There are 3 11-star tiger cavalry.

"Tiger cavalry." Lin Youde sighed, this is the strongest troop in his hands other than war generals, but the tiger cavalry is superb in combat power, even comparable to 4-star generals, but unfortunately it is too difficult to train.

"Here, here you are." Lin Youde slapped Monk Hua Lu Zhishen, and in an instant he gave two thousand swordsmen, two thousand archers, one thousand pikemen, and one thousand heavy cavalry.

"Wahahaha, thank you, sir." Lu Zhishen laughed when he saw the tattoo on his wrist.

Lu Zhishen was gearing up, with an excited look on his face. Only Su Di's smile was a little forced, but more out of helplessness. He was left by Lin Youde's side. As the commander of Hutou Pass, he understood that a figure like Lin Youde was indeed extraordinary. Thousands of troops and horses were summoned with a wave of hands, such supernatural powers, how terrifying.

But he doesn't have to worry about losing a share of credit, but the more so, because he knows that Lin Youde will make contributions one day.

Everyone laughed and drank.

Afterwards, Su Di went out and read out Lin Youde's new policy to the Xixia soldiers who were still waiting outside to be judged by their fate, and they immediately cheered.

Under Lin Youde's instruction, the military salary was distributed to each soldier in advance, which stabilized the morale of the army.
