"Ding! Discover a Class 4 copper mine within your territory."

Xu Xiake used his talent in geography and special exploration to explore the fourth-level copper mine in the northern part of Xia Village.

Copper mines were an important resource in ancient times and were generally directly controlled and mined by the government.

In the current troubled times, copper ore is actually not as valuable as iron ore.

The value of copper ore can only be reflected unless the territory is sufficient to produce itself and the quantity of commodities increases.

Zhang Hua saw in the stone tablet of Xia Village that there were two mineral resource points in Xia Village, a sixth-level iron ore and a four-level copper ore.

There are also two more specialties in Xiacun - copper and iron.

There are medium-sized iron ore and copper ore near Xia Village, and plains to farm and rivers to provide water. No wonder the fortune index is a "feng shui treasure land".

Zhang Hua named the place where the iron ore was discovered Tieshan, and the place where the copper ore was discovered was named Tongshan.

More than a dozen township heroes were sent by Zhang Hua to Tongshan to build a second primary mining farm, but they were mining copper mines.

Copper ore will have a great effect in the future and can be used to mint coins, so we need to start operating now.

In order to prevent the Jin soldiers from circling Song Village and directly attacking Xia Village, Zhang Hua built 10 wooden arrow towers in the dangerous places in Xia Village, and added a horse-rewarding at the entrance of the village.

"Sir, we are back from exploring the cavalry in the upstream areas."

"What news can you bring back?"

"Up to the Jin people's sphere of influence, it was a village built by refugees who claimed to be the Green Forest Army. The Jin people once attacked their village, but failed."

The light cavalry who came back reported to Zhang Hua that the news of the uppermost valley was reported to him.

In this way, Zhang Hua obtained the power map for the entire valley.

There are three main forces in the entire valley, the Green Forest Army in the upper reaches, the Jin people in the middle, and the Xiacun forces in the lower reaches.

The Green Forest Army and the Jin soldiers each account for two-fifths of the valley, and the Xia Village account for one-fifth of the valley.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, heroes in the Lulin Mountain area of ​​Yundu County, Jiangxia County rose up one after another, hence the name "Green Forest Army".

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu joined forces with the Green Forest Army to destroy Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty. Later, he turned against the Green Forest Army and became enemies, defeated the Green Forest Army and established the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Despite the failure of the Green Forest Army, the term Green Forest hero was left behind.

The Green Forest Army has a certain combat power, but it should not be able to withstand Tiefutu. This group of Green Forest Army can actually repel the invading Tiefutu, which is beyond Zhang Hua's estimate.

Could it be that the leader of this Green Forest Army is Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu?

If it was Liu Xiu, then it would be difficult for Xia Village to dominate the valley.

"The villain captured a soldier of the Green Forest Army alive and learned about the incident. The Green Forest Army had about 1,000 people, gathered 2,000 other refugees, totaling 3,000 people. With the number of people, they blocked Tiefutu. They killed about 15 Tiefutu and 50 other Jin soldiers. The Jin general was worried that they would lose too much, so he took the initiative to retreat."

"So that's it. So how many people are lost in the Green Forest Army?"

"At least 300 people died in the Green Forest Army."

"After 1,000 Green Forest Army, you have to pay 4 to 5 Green Forest Army to replace 1 Jin soldier. It seems that the leader of the Green Forest Army is not Liu Xiu."

Zhang Hua thought about it and said that if he gave Liu Xiu 1,000 Green Forest Army, it would be impossible to achieve such a battle loss ratio.

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu is the son of the plane.

From this point of view, the reason why the Green Forest Army can repel Tiefutu's offensive was mostly because the Green Forest Army was large and the Jin generals did not want to fight to the end with these Green Forest heroes.

After listening to the information brought by the light cavalry, Chen Gong thought for a while and was confident.

"Is there a clever plan on the official station?"

"Does Ming Duke know about Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui's strategy of 'far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-far-to-f

"You mean we make friends with the Green Forest Army, destroy Tiefutu, and then compete with the Green Forest Army for the valley?"

"Yes, the Green Forest Army cannot accomplish anything, the Jin people are not trustworthy, only Ming Gong, you have the ability to occupy the valley."

Chen Gong believed that Zhang Hua, who had the smallest territory in the valley, could accomplish things.

"Since the public station trusts me so much, I wonder if I am willing to go on a mission to the Green Forest Army and lobby the Green Forest Army to join forces with us?"

Zhang Hua thought carefully about the people in the village, only Chen Gongfang was able to lobby the Green Forest Army.

Military generals such as Liao Hua, Sun Shangxiang, Hua Mulan, and Chen Wu could only lead troops to fight. As for diplomacy, it was far from it.

Chen Gong bowed: "Then I will take it as my best. I will use my three-inch tongue to convince the leader of the Green Forest Army."

"Let Jiang Qin's fleet protect the public platform upstream, pass through the territory controlled by the Jin soldiers at night, and agree with the Green Forest Army to jointly attack the Jin soldiers."

Zhang Hua appointed Chen Gong as the military advisor of Xia Village. Chen Gong believed that he met a wise leader, so he tried his best to make suggestions and actively proposed strategies to get along with each other from a distance, which gave Zhang Hua hope to deal with Tiefutu.

It was just Xia Village and Song Village that had troops still had some difficulties in resisting Tiefutu.

But if the Green Forest Army is encouraged to send troops, the situation can be changed.

Without further ado, Chen Gong went down to pack his bags and sent the territory of the Green Forest Army.

Zhang Hua continued to farm in Xia Village.

After large-scale sowing, weeding and irrigation must be continued until the crops are ripe.

When you are in a distance and attacking nearby, you cannot stop farming.

In addition to farming, Zhang Hua also needs to plan the drainage ditches in Xia Village.

In addition, Zhang Hua established a junior arch barracks in Xia Village to recruit archers for Sun Shangxiang.

At present, there are no fish markets, markets and other buildings that can be traded in Xia Village, because all the food and important materials are purchased and distributed by the village.

Jiang Qin received the transfer order and personally brought twenty Wu archers to Xia Village to pick up Chen Gong.

Jiang Qin's fleet flowed up the river.

The Jurchen cavalry had extremely strong combat power, but they were not able to fight water. Most of them were landslides. Jiang Qin, who was good at water war, easily passed through the Jurchen territory.

Upstream of the Jurchens, it is the territory of the Green Forest Army.

Chen Gong and Jiang Qin were taken to the second-level village of the Green Forest Army.

The Green Forest Army has a variety of weapons and its members come from all over the world.

These people saw the new faces of Chen Gong and Jiang Qin, and they all sharpened their swords.

Chen Gong looked calm and unmoved.

Jiang Qin and Sun Ce fought in Jiangdong, and experienced the Battle of Red Cliffs and Hefei. They were used to the big scenes and were not scared by the Green Forest Army.

"The Green Forest Army is not elite, but it has a large number of people."

Chen Gong estimated that there were about 400 Green Forest Army in this village, including the township heroes, and there were thousands of people.

The leader of the Green Forest Army, with more than a dozen confidants, met Chen Gong who was lobbying.

Chen Gong bowed respectfully: "In Xia Gongtai, Xia Village from the downstream, I am willing to form an alliance with the general on behalf of the lord and the general and work together to deal with Tiefutu."

The leader of the Green Forest Army sneered: "We the Green Forest Army can destroy it, why do we need to form an alliance with you?"

Chen Gong deliberately stimulated: "If the Green Forest Army could defeat Tiefutu, why did Tiefutu retreat that day, and the Green Forest Army dare not pursue it? I am bluntly saying that the Green Forest Army is not the enemy of Tiefutu. When Tiefutu captures Xia Village, the Green Forest Army will have no choice but to die!"
