Chapter 40 The Shuhan Blacksmith Pu Yuan
"Since General Liao Hua serves as the Lord, how can Pu not obey?"
Pu Yuan heard that the general Liao Hua, the Shu Han, had already served Zhang Hua, so he also chose to join Xiacun and became the chief blacksmith of Xiacun.
Liao Hua's status in Shu Han was much higher than Pu Yuan, who was a blacksmith. Because of Liao Hua, Pu Yuan not only did not resist, but was willing to join Xia Village.
Zhang Hua learned from Pu Yuan that the time when Pu Yuan traveled over was similar to that of Liao Hua, and it was during Zhuge Liang's six trips to Qishan.
Pu Yuan met Jin soldiers in the valley and was captured by Jin Wushu's Tiefutu.
In order to surrender Pu Yuan, Jin Wushu also built a prison house to increase the probability of surrendering Pu Yuan.
Unfortunately, Jin Wushu has not succeeded yet, but instead has made Zhang Hua less expensive.
Pu Yuan has superb quenching skills.

Zhang Hua saw Pu Yuan’s hero attributes in Jincun’s hero list and his eyes lit up.
There are quite a lot of talents in Shu Han. Blacksmiths of Pu Yuan’s level are indispensable for Xia Village.
Pu Yuan’s best at forging the ring-headed sword, which is also the most common equipment of the Han army.
"Liao Hua went to capture other villages of Jin soldiers. When they came back, you can reminisce about the past and then move to Xia Village."
Zhang Hua still takes Xia Village as the center and controls other villages.
A blacksmith of Pu Yuan's level is most at ease to stay in Xia Village.
After defeating Jin Wushu, Zhang Hua counted the harvest and losses.
In this service, two centurions in the Jin Kingdom were killed, 49 Tiefutu, 61 kidnapped horses, 145 Jin infantry, archers, and 200 prisoners.
Xia Village lost 41 people, 37 light infantry soldiers, 42 barbarian soldiers, 25 light cavalry soldiers, 49 archers, and 12 crossbow soldiers.
In addition, the beggar army lost a beggar Li head.
The commander of the Qihuo Zhuan Chen Wu was the leader of the five thousand households of Qihuo Army during the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, and his status was equivalent to that of the commander of a thousand men. Feng Long and Li Tou, as Chen Wu's general, had a status of the Centurion.
In order to defeat the Tiefutu, the price paid by the Qihuo Army was quite terrible.
However, in the situation at that time, only the beggar army could beat Tiefutu.
"Calculate the list of the dead and treat their families well."
Zhang Hua lost hundreds of troops, and the people in Xia Village declined, so he took timely measures to appease the villagers.
Under normal circumstances, every time a war is launched, the family will be destroyed and the people will decline.
The same is true for the levy of corvee.
Frequent wars or recruiting miraculous buildings such as the Great Wall, which can easily cause fire in the backyard and cause peasant uprisings.
"The captured Jin soldiers went to mine, quarre and log."
Zhang Hua organized the 200 Jin soldiers captured into hard labor.
Just so happened that Zhang Hua's territory was expanded and more labor was needed to go to mining.
There are 500 second-level villages in Jinwushu, and 200 second-level villages in Sun Shangxiang. Zhang Hua has occupied these two villages and has obtained a population of 700.
Liao Hua led his troops to occupy the third village where Jin Wushu's forces were occupied.
This village is between Green Forest Village and Jin Village.
When Liao Hua led his troops to come, the village had been captured by the Green Forest Army.
"I have made an agreement with Chen Gong that anyone who obtains Jin Wushu's village will own it. This village has been occupied by my Green Forest Army, you should retreat quickly."
The leader of the Green Forest Army, Wang Feng immediately rushed back and forced Liao Hua to retreat.
Liao Hua weighed the pros and cons, and he only brought 60 light infantry. If a conflict broke out with the Green Forest Army, Liao Hua would suffer.
"The Green Forest Army is stronger than expected. Could it be that Jin Wushu failed to seriously damage the Green Forest Army?"
Liao Hua withdrew with doubts.
He believes that it is necessary to re-evaluate the strength of the Green Forest Army.
After Liao Hua retreated, Wang Feng also began to expand his sphere of influence.
Wang Feng turned to a general of the Green Forest Army and said, "This time I can turn defeat into victory, thanks to you to take action. If I can occupy all the valleys and use you as a general, the world may not be undesirable."
The man replied, "I just want to find Lord Liu Xiu. Lord Liu Xiu is the true dragon emperor."
"Are I, Wang Feng, really inferior to Liu Xiu? Alas, before finding Liu Xiu, you can cooperate with me for the time being to expand your sphere of influence. In the future, I, Wang Feng, are willing to take the lead in finding Liu Xiu."
Wang Feng also heard that in the late Western Han Dynasty, the person who finally won the world was Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.
Wang Feng is a man with low ambitions in the Green Forest Army and knows how to retreat bravely and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Therefore, if he meets Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, it is not impossible for Wang Feng to defect to Liu Xiu.
Among the six villages of Jinwushu, Xia Village occupies two second-level villages and two first-level villages, while the Green Forest Army occupy one second-level village and one first-level village.
It can be said that most of the population of Jin Wushu's power was divided up by Zhang Hua.
The Jin Wushu power collapsed, and the Xiacun and the Green Forest Army were entrenched in the valley, like water and fire.
Zhang Hua obtained about 1,000 households, and in addition to the population of Xia Village, Song Village and Dayang Village, there are about 2,000 households.
At present, Zhang Hua's territory has changed from three villages to seven villages, with 7,000 people.
The battle to defeat Jin Wushu was fruitful, and the plundered population was enough to make up for the losses.
The most important thing is to solve the difficult enemy Jin Wushu, and the pressure in Xia Village suddenly became smaller.
The threat from the Green Forest Army is not as good as that of Jin Wushu's Tiefutu.
"Jin Wushu fled into the northern mountains and disappeared."
Mulan, who was pursuing Jin Wushu, led the light cavalry back and brought back news about Jin Wushu.
"The six villages of Jinwushu have been lost, which poses no threat to us. Most of them escape from the valley through the sheep intestine path without spending time catching up."
Zhang Hua did not chase into the northern mountains.
There should be winding mountain paths in the northern mountains leaving the valley.
Zhang Hua knew nothing about the terrain and sphere of influence in the north, so he rashly chased him out, and the consequences were unpredictable.
"Jin Wushu was defeated, and we bordered the Green Forest Army. The Green Forest Army was defeated by Jin Wushu twice, but each time it was able to regroup and annex the two villages of Jin Wushu. They had something to do."
Chen Gong has begun planning to annex the Green Forest Army forces.
Zhang Hua planned the territory and concentrated his power in Xiacun, followed by Jincun, which has a population of 500.
Jincun is located between Xiacun and Lulin Village, bordering the Green Forest Army forces. Zhang Hua needs to station troops here to resist the Green Forest Army's troops and then farm in the rear.
It will take some time to digest the 1,000 households in Jinwushu.
Zhang Hua migrated 100 households in other villages to Xia Village, bringing the population of Xia Village to 800 households and enhancing the prosperity of Xia Village.
