【Today's second update is delivered ~~~~】

The morning light slowly tear opens the darkness of the earth.

A new day has arrived as usual.

A large number of corpses were chaotic around Xiahe City. Some of the military households who launched the riots, some of the armed servants who tried to retake Xiahe City, were mixed together, which was terrible. But more of them were still the military households killed by Wang Jian, in rows. Yesterday's battle did not disrupt them. Standing on the top of the city, it was really like hell.

The sea breeze blows from the south, bringing a strong smell of blood. In a faint way, you can hear the howls of wolves from the west. To the west of Xiahe Village is the continuous Wulian Mountain, with high mountains and dense forests, rugged terrain and numerous wild animals. Human corpses are undoubtedly the best food for wolves. Wild wolves who smell the smell of blood often appear in groups around Xiahe City.

Zhang Zhun stood on the top of the city and silently looked at the fields outside the city.

The fields outside are deserted and there is no crops to see. Because of the years of drought, the grass on the ground is basically brown and yellow without any vitality. In fact, the surrounding areas of Lingshanwei are mostly mountainous and hilly, with a lot of metamorphic rocks, magmatic rocks and sedimentary rocks, which are not suitable for growing crops. This is even more so around Xiahe Village, the sparse arable land cannot meet the needs of military households at all.

Zhang Zhun recalled the information about Jiaonan City in later generations. He remembered that the only ones that were more common here were minerals. Such as iron ore, graphite, silt, lead, manganese, copper, zircon, etc., the stock was quite large, as if there were millions of tons. Among them, iron, graphite, lead, copper, etc. were all urgently needed by Zhang Zhun at present. Unfortunately, other minerals were not developed on a large scale except iron ore.

"Sir, all the officers and soldiers have been withdrawn." Peng Bo came to report.

"I understand." Zhang Zhun nodded.

Wang Jian is indeed a decisive person. When he finds that he cannot conquer Xiahe City, he retreats immediately without dragging on the mud. Such an opponent must be vigilant. If he wants to develop towards Lingshan Guard in the future, he must defeat Wang Jian and replace him. With such a goal, Zhang Zhun is naturally quite careful about Wang Jian.

If the guess is correct, Wang Jian should have calculated that he would not be able to stay in Xiahe City for long, so he took retreat as advance, and waited for him to leave Xiahe Village before making a comeback. I have to admit that Wang Jian indeed accurately captured Zhang Zhun's thoughts. Zhang Zhun could not stay in Xiahe Village for too long. Fushan Station is his foundation, and leaving for more than three days is full of hidden dangers. After dealing with the matter here, Zhang Zhun must quickly return to Fushan Station.

If I leave Xiahe Village, what will happen here?

Do these military households have the ability to stop Wang Jian’s counterattack?

Should I garrison some of the troops here? If I garrison, how many will I garrison? Who should I garrison? I think no one of my subordinates has the ability to stand alone, so I am afraid it will be difficult to be competent! Division of troops is a taboo, and Zhang Zhun must be cautious. However, if he does not garrison, how can he control the place?

Ma Yi suddenly came over, his face was a little weird, and he whispered to Zhang Zhun: "Sir, the situation seems to be a bit special..."

Zhang Zhun frowned slightly and said slowly: "What's special?"

Ma Yi whispered: "The backbone military households of Xiahe Village were called to the west of the city to gather, but no one greeted us. We had no idea. The military households attending the meeting deliberately avoided us, as if they were thieves. It is said that the person who called their assembly was called Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was the organizer of the riot. He was a hundred households in the Qianhu House of Xiahe Village, and his family had fields and land. I think they were uneasy and did not want us to stay in Xiahe Village."

Zhang Zhun's eyes flashed slightly and he said calmly: "I understand."

Ma Yi turned around and went.

A secret meeting in the west of the city?

Don’t want the guards to stay in Xiahezhai?

A sneer slowly appeared at the corner of Zhang Jun's mouth.

It seems that my rescue is not very popular!

In fact, judging from the battle situation last night, Zhang Zhun realized something was wrong. After he occupied Xiahe City, Wang Jian mobilized all his servants and fought back desperately against Xiahe City. Obviously, the encirclement of Langya Mountain has collapsed. If he were Zhao Feng, he would definitely mobilize immediately and find a way to contact him, cooperate with him inside and outside, and deal with the officers and soldiers severely.

Anyone who knows a little about military knowledge knows that it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers. If Xiahe Village wants to successfully rebel, it must consume the strength of the Lingshan Guard as much as possible. In other words, it is to eliminate Wang Jian's backbone force. Last night, there was such a good opportunity. If Zhao Feng was attacked from both sides and attacked from both sides, the casualties would definitely be very heavy. Maybe his life would be explained in Xiahe City. Even if he escaped back to Lingshan Guard City by chance, it would not be so easy to make a comeback.

However, this scene did not appear. Last night, until the morning, the officers and soldiers of the guard team, and other military households organized by Feng Yangyi, were fighting alone. Zhao Feng did not lead the army to attack from Zhao Feng. It was not until the officers and soldiers completely retreated that Zhao Feng appeared. Moreover, after the appearance, he did not discuss with him as soon as possible how to continue to eliminate more officers and soldiers, but secretly summoned the military households to the west of the city to have a party, but did not inform him.

Obviously, I was regarded as an outsider.

Moreover, it is a less popular outsider.

At this moment, Zhang Zhun clearly felt that there were some deviations in his previous estimates. It was not that he could successfully enter Xiahe Village by actively sending troops to rescue Xiahe Village. His perspective on the problem was still not comprehensive enough.

Everyone has selfish intentions, their own desires, and different interests. The same is true for the military households in Xiahe Village. Their interests may not be consistent with their interests. The military households in Xiahe Village want to rebel, change their destiny, and follow the model of Fushansou. This is true. However, they do not want Zhang Zhun to be the leader for them.

Yes, Zhang Zhun is self-indulgent.

He thought Xiahe Village was his own pocket, and thought that as long as he led his army to rescue these military households, these military households would be grateful and cry bitterly, treat themselves as their reborn parents, and without hesitation, he chose them as thousands of households in Xiahe Village and handed their fate to his own hands. However, he did not expect that not all the people here welcomed them. They would rather treat him as a mercenary and a temporary helper. If you come to help me solve the problem, I will pay you a reward. After getting the reward, you should leave.

That's right, that's it.

"A kind heart is not rewarded. Do good deeds and do good deeds with the same fate as Director Chen!"

Zhang Zhun silently laughed at himself in his heart.

In fact, if Zhao Feng and others were openly explained to Zhang Zhun, Zhang Zhun would not be angry. After all, Xiahe Village is a military household in Xiahe Village, and they have the right to choose their own leaders. It is not impossible for them to suppress the local snake in one go. The Hu Ben Gun is just a special one. However, that is a inferior method. There is no need at all.

For Zhang Zhun, what he needed was the route of Xiahe Village, and what he needed was the silver and food from Xiahe Village. This time he received a rich reward, and the guard team had basically completed the task. After all, Zhang Zhun decided to come to Xiahe Village for the silver and food here. Now, the silver and food are under the control of the guard team. If you want to get more, it seems a bit unreasonable.

In the battle last night, the escort actually did not have much casualties. As of dawn, only eight people in the escort had suffered minor injuries, so there was no big problem. If you want to say that you had paid a relatively large price, you would consume dozens of kilograms of black gunpowder with copper oxide. If you count the cost, you should have more than ten taels of silver. In addition, it is the round-trip car and ship fare.

However, it is regrettable that the actions of Zhao Feng and others seemed to be a sign of chasing people to the soldiers of the guards. I came here to rescue you. As a result, the enemy drove away and we were driven away. No wonder everyone was angry. There was no human touch at all. Who is it! You can't be so unkind!

Some officers could even guess that Zhao Feng's actions last night were a bit like killing people with a knife. At least, he wanted the guards and officers and soldiers to fight each other, preferably to die together. Compared to being unhuman, this made the guards even more angry. Such an ungrateful wolf is not worthy of the guards' attack!

"Let's see how they are going to drive me away!"

Zhang Zhun sneered slightly in his heart.

Not long after, Feng Yangyi arrived.

His expression was a little weird, as if he was a little ashamed of Zhang Zhun. His eyes didn't dare to touch Zhang Zhun's gaze. He lowered his head and said with difficulty: "Sir, all the military households in Xiahe Village want to see you."

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Since that's the case, please come."

Feng Yangyi's face became more and more strange. He lowered his head, wanted to speak but stopped, and there was a look of pain in his eyes.

His meaning was to ask Zhang Zhun to go to the west of the city to meet the military households, but Zhang Zhun's meaning was to let them come here. He believed that Zhang Zhun would never misunderstand what he meant. Since Zhang Zhun said this, he had already seen the clues. For a moment, his face became even worse and he was a little confused. Zhang Zhun was invited by him. Now, such a situation has occurred, and he really doesn't know what to do.

Zhang Zhun pretended not to know, looked at him calmly, and asked blankly, "What's wrong? Why is your face so weird?"

Feng Yangyi hurriedly said, "Nothing, nothing, I'll inform them now."

After saying that, he turned around in a hurry.

Ma Yi saw that something was wrong, took a step forward, and whispered: "Sir, do you want us..."

Zhang Zhun said disapprovingly: "Are you still worried that they will eat me?"

Ma Yi then retreated.

A moment later, Feng Yangyi and a few people appeared at the door of Qianhu Official Hall.
Chapter completed!
