On May 24th, people outside Xiandu County were working hard. Some supervisors looked at them from a distance without supervising them. Everyone was working with all their strength.

Even though they are doing the same job, everyone's income is different.

Working with prisoners of war and criminals to make bricks was the most tiring work for a day, and the wages were only 20 yuan. For logging and transportation, it was 30 yuan a day, and for guarding farmland, it was also 30 yuan a day. These did not require much skills.

Building a house and building a military camp can earn 50 coins a day, and a carpenter who makes city defense equipment can earn 70 coins a day. If you can't do your job well, there are many people willing to take over your work. If you can't even do the physical work of making adobe bricks,

If you can't do anything, you can only eat a bowl of thick porridge every day and live half-starved!

For poor people, it is already a good life to be able to see the future and buy coarse cloth to make clothes for their wives and children at home. Therefore, everyone cherishes the opportunity to work very much. Every day's money is worth a day's work.

knotted.

After a busy morning, the weather was already very hot. Some people organized people to carry water to irrigate the fields that were short of water. At noon, when the sun was at its strongest, everyone could go home and rest for an hour. At this time, a cavalry came quickly from the north.

Everyone thought it was the Xianbei cavalry who had arrived, and were seriously waiting for news from the countryside. As soon as the bell rang, they had to drop everything and escape into the city as quickly as possible.

But after waiting for a long time, no bell was heard. At this time, some people went to work on the construction site together. Everyone took the tools and left the village, and heard someone discussing.

The county magistrate sent cavalry to the Xianbei tribe, defeated the Xianbei cavalry and seized a large number of horses and livestock. He will soon return to the county seat.

When most people heard this news, their first reaction was disbelief. The power of the Xianbei cavalry was deeply rooted in everyone's bones. In the past, the Xianbei cavalry could rob at will outside Xiandu County by riding ten miles away. However, there were so many enemies in the Xianbei tribe.

Although they didn't believe it, many people were looking forward to it. In the afternoon, a group of people and horses came slowly from the north. They seemed to be pulling a lot of things. There seemed to be a lot of cattle and sheep around. This was definitely not what the Xianbei cavalry should do when they came to Xiandu County.

appearance.

Many people saw that the general riding a tall horse in front of the team was Guan Yu. Guan Yu was already very famous in Xiandu County because of his strong martial arts. He often helped poor people and was praised by everyone. At this time, many people finally knew that the rumors were not false.

Guan Yu and Wei Qin were riding at the front. Behind them were more than 500 emaciated people who had been fed for five days. Although they still looked emaciated, they were able to keep up with the team.

In the past five days, they traveled more than 400 miles and finally returned to Xiandu County. On the way, they were chased by Xianbei cavalry three times. However, the largest team of only 300 people was defeated by them.

The Xianbei cavalry abandoned more than 300 corpses and horses and fled. Because they had to protect so many people, they did not pursue them, so the cavalry had to travel for five days instead of one day's journey.

Guan Yu and Wei Qin returned to the military camp and saw that many infantry here had moved to the new military camp. Jian Yong led a group of officials to wait here. They handed over all the rescued civilians and prisoners of war to Jian Yong.

Then I went to the city to see Liu Xin.

Liu Xin inspected the defense of Xiandu County this morning. When he knew that Guan Yu and Wei Qin were back, he had been waiting at the county office. When he saw the soldiers bringing the two in, Liu Xin happily greeted them.

"I've met my lord!"

"Guan Yu pays homage to your lord!"

The two men met Liu Xin, and Liu Xin motioned for them to sit down.

"Thank you for your hard work on the Xianbei trip. This time you saved hundreds of people with hundreds of elite soldiers, but you gave Xiandu County a boost. The people are celebrating each other when they know about it. Your military exploits will all be completed tomorrow."

Statistics." Liu Xin said.

"Lord! This time we defeated a small tribe of the other side, but encountered many obstacles on the way back. I don't know how the other three villages are doing now.

As long as the Xianbei herdsmen are adults, they can mount their horses and fight, and I think the other medium and large tribes will be able to react quickly. By then it will not be so easy for us to capture them, and this time I learned that the Xianbei tribe captured so many of our people!"

Wei Qin said to Liu Xin.

Liu Xin saw that the two of them were in a bad mood. As military commanders, the two of them had not experienced much. Liu Xin did not see the people who were plundered by the Xianbei tribe, so they must not have a good life.

"You have done a very good job. It is not easy to save so many people.

Our purpose in sending troops to the Xianbei Grassland is to draw the attention of the Xianbei people and prevent them from launching an attack on Xiandu County too early.

It would be best if you can kill the Xianbei cavalry as much as possible and weaken the local combat power, especially the Xianbei tribe near Xiandu County. This will reduce the chance of us being attacked by the opponent. It would be best if you can force their tribe to move north.

But." Liu Xin said.

The two of them understood Liu Xin's intention and nodded lightly. If they only dealt with the Xianbei cavalry, everything would be much easier. Keeping Xiandu County free from the Xianbei tribe is their top priority now.

Wei Qin and Guan Yu told Liu Xin the details of the battle with the Xianbei tribe. Liu Xin listened and analyzed it with them, which made their next mission more clear. Destroying a tribe does not necessarily have a great effect on killing them in the main battle.

, forcing the Xianbei tribe to merge would greatly weaken the other party's strength, because the larger the tribe, the farther they have to go for grazing, and the more serious the tribe's food crisis will be.

Liu Xin invited Guan Yu and Wei Qin to have lunch at the county government office. He heard the sound of his [Benevolence Value] and [Loyalty Value] increasing from the system. This was all because Guan Yu and Wei Qin returned home victorious.

Credit.

This time Guan Yu and Wei Qin lost 5 soldiers and 11 others were injured. Liu Xin added 16 new cavalry to them. These cavalry were all trained by his generals recently.

Because he had to patrol the entire Xiandu County unit for horse bandits, Liu Xin asked his generals to select soldiers with good riding skills to join the reserve team. Now Liu Xin has enough horses, and many infantrymen have begun to learn riding skills. Now he has more than 200 cavalry reserves.

, although the riding skills are worse than those of the cavalry soldiers, their combat power is not bad at all.

Guan Yu and Wei Qin led their cavalry troops and set out early the next morning. They had clearly defined their mission this time and would be more comfortable fighting the Xianbei tribe. Liu Xin also hoped that they could train all their soldiers to become

The army of tigers and wolves.

On the third day after Wei Qin came back, Zhou Tai and Cheng Yuanzhi also came back. They brought back 400 war horses, 300 horses, more than 2,000 cattle and sheep, more than 200 people captured by the Xianbei tribe, and more than 200 prisoners of war.
