Hu Yanjue on the side patted Xiao Tianyou on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Work hard, Master Hou will not treat you badly, as long as you are loyal to Master Hou and temper your body at level 9, it is definitely not your end!"
"Level 9 is not the end? What do you mean?" Xiao Tianyou wondered.
"Before, I was a body tempering warrior just like you. Now... Hey... Let's go out of the camp too, don't forget, our mission is also very heavy!" Hu Yanjue finished speaking, and turned his horse's head away.
Xiao Tianyou looked shocked, staring at Hu Yanjue's back in disbelief, stammering, but couldn't say a word.
When Chu Tianshu was about to leave, he and Hu Yanjue were given a task to buy as much food as possible on the way to Yanhuang County.
To this end, Chu Tianshu also left them 300,000 gold, which is three million taels of silver.
According to preliminary estimates, we should be able to buy more than 300,000 shi of grain!
Xiao Tianyou wanted to understand why Chu Tianshu had to buy so much food!
But it can only do so!
Here, there are still seven or eight hundred miles away from Yanhuang County.
Chu Tianshu and others rushed for two consecutive days and two nights, and at noon on the third day, they had already arrived near Yanhuang County.
The county seat is located on a high ground beside a big river flowing from south to north!
It was an expansion of an ancient army town.
According to the information recorded in the data, the population of the county seat is only 20,000 to 30,000.
In Yanhuang County, there are only 80,000 residents in a radius of three to four hundred miles.
Even if the emperor is far away, many people are unwilling to register for household registration and pay taxes, and the population should be around 100,000!
Most of them are concentrated in the plains along the banks of the river.
Standing on a high slope, Chu Tianshu and others looked at the county town ahead and the looming mountains in the distance on both sides.
This river valley plain, which is more than a hundred miles long and no more than thirty or forty miles wide, is the most fertile land with a radius of thousands of miles.
If it is in the Mainland, there is no problem in raising two to three million people.
It is a pity that it is too far away from the capital of the country, and the people are not willing to settle here at all.
At this time, only Jiang Ming thought: "This big river of Yanhuang originated in the Kunlun Mountains, the holy land of the demon race in the southwest. When passing through this place, demon beasts often come along the river, and further north, it can lead to the northern country Territory, in history, many wars have occurred here, but with the expansion of our territory in the West Qin country, this place has also become an inland, with Yongjing Pass in the south, demon beasts blocked, and Silver City in the north, etc. Many checkpoints blocked the army of the North You Country, and this place has become a rare paradise!"
"Isn’t Xanadu? Not necessarily? Wuwei City was ceded, and only Tianzhu Pass is left in the northwest. Behind Tianzhu Pass is Yanhuang County, which is only two to three hundred miles away from the county seat of Yanhuang County. Although it is not under the jurisdiction of Yanhuang County, once the war comes, only Yanhuang County can support Tianzhu Pass!" Chu Tianshu said calmly.
The others waited to hear, and all fell silent.
Everyone can see that the future situation in Yanhuang County is absolutely not good!
After Wuwei City was ceded, Yanhuang County became the forefront of the Western Qin State.
Judging from the map alone, the area protruding from the northwest belongs to the jurisdiction of Yanhuang County.
Enemy on all sides.
Very dangerous!
However, when everyone was worried, Chu Tianshu smiled: "Although the situation is not good for us, but if we are strong enough, then it will turn danger into opportunity, all three sides are enemies, and three sides can be connected. For the mountains on both sides of the river, then Yanhuang County can sit back and relax. Let’s go, we all have horned wolves, let the wolf demon lead them, first go to the western mountains and eat a full meal!"
Everyone nodded, and jumped off the wolf demon.
Chu Tianshu stroked the top of the big bad wolf's head, and said, "I entrust you with a task. First, I will subdue all the wolf beasts in the mountains, and then catch some 9th-level beasts!"
The big bad wolf rubbed his head against Chu Tianshu's palm, spoiled for a while, and then led the ninety horned wolves to rush down the high slope and dive into the mountain forest on the side.
Everyone led the camel's war horse with a lot of belongings and walked towards Yanhuang County on foot.
When approaching the city of Yanhuang County, from the official road behind, there were more than a dozen fast horses running wildly.
They were all wearing leather armor with a black flag on their backs.
There is a simple Qin character on the military flag.
"Get out, get out!"
These soldiers yelled loudly while waving their horsewhips.
Even if he passed by Chu Tianshu and others, he didn't stay in the slightest.
"They seem to be soldiers from the capital, so they should send some news to the front!" Princess Ji Ruxin said.
"Could it be the news of ceding the city?" Chu Tianshu questioned.
"Calculated based on time, they are almost here, maybe in two days, they can take the imperial decree to Wuwei City and take over with Beiyou Country!" Ji Ruxin said.
"Wuwei City has 50,000 soldiers, family members, civilians, businessmen, etc., and there should be around 100,000. When soldiers leave, the people in the city will inevitably withdraw to the interior. Tianzhu Pass is just a checkpoint built in the mountains, and it is impossible to feed that many. People, at most, only allow soldiers to stay, so the place where ordinary people can stay is only Yanhuang County!" Chu Tianshu analyzed.
After everyone listened, their expressions changed.
Border residents are mostly known for being fierce. Once they all flood into Yanhuang County, the law and order in Yanhuang County will definitely not be much better.
Besides, the total population of Yanhuang County is only twenty to thirty thousand. How can one hundred thousand border residents be resettled
Ji Ruxin said, "I'm afraid it's more than these people. The army of Lord Jianling in the west of Wuwei City should have 100,000. 50,000 are only registered. The other 50,000 belong to the private army. In addition, after the cession, it is quite After losing three hundred li, the people of these three hundred li will inevitably flow into the inland, and the number is definitely more than 300,000. In addition, the number of people who are worried about the arrival of war and the inland migration may be even more. !"
Everyone was shocked!
Because of this analysis, the number of people entering Yanhuang County may be around 500,000 in this period of time.
The food in Yanhuang County is definitely not enough!
Chu Tianshu looked calm.
But the others were all staring at him.
At this moment, everyone suddenly understood why Chu Tianshu left 300,000 gold to Xiao Tianyou and Hu Yanjue.
I must have thought of such a situation a long time ago.
If the two of them could really buy 300,000 shi of grain, then the food crisis would not exist.
"It's still Hou Ye's thoughtful thoughts, I had already expected the future!" Jiang Mingsi admired sincerely.
The others also flattered!
Chu Tianshu smiled: "Okay, Uncle Jiang, you will take the people into the city first. You will hand over with the county magistrate and begin to take over all military and political affairs in Yanhuang County. Those who do not cooperate can be detained first. , The princess and I will walk around the city first, and secretly observe and observe the specific conditions of this city!"
Jiang Mingsi nodded, and said, "That Girl Wenxuan will accompany the princess and Lord Hou, right?"
Liu Wenxuan nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang!"
In the past two days, Liu Wenxuan's injuries have healed.
With her ninth-level profound master by her side, everyone would have nothing to worry about.
Ever since, Jiang Mingsi and others carried Hou Tiejuan and Princess Dayin of the county and walked into the city first!
