Chapter 245 Summer Flower
At the head of Zhennan Pass, as Shi Hu came to reinforce him, the situation was completely reversed.
Wang Feng had time to look around, and noticed that the leader of the bandits who gave the orders had disappeared. His heart moved, and he shouted: "Your leader has already escaped, and you should surrender quickly!"
The bandits' will to resist is much weaker than that of the regular army. The casualties have not exceeded one-tenth, and they are somewhat overwhelmed. Wang Feng's shout became the last straw that crushed the bandits.
The bandit turned his head and found that the head of the family had indeed slipped away, and couldn't help but scream.
There are those who are timid and very bachelor surrender. Some wicked people took the road and fled.
"Chase!" Wang Feng ordered.
"Here!" All the soldiers got the order and chased away in all directions.
Suddenly, Zhennanguan was in chaos.
Wang Feng's series of actions won Ouyang Shuo's true teaching.
Amidst the chaos, the bandit leader and more than 20 henchmen tried to escape with the money. Before leaving, this person did not change his lust and wanted to take the little beauty Li Feixue away with him.
The bandit leader came to the small courtyard and saw that the guard was still there, so he was about to go in. The guard was puzzled, the old village owner had already been killed by the order of the head of the family, why did he come here? !
The bandit leader walked into the small courtyard, but found that there was no one there, and couldn't help being very annoyed. He shouted at the guard outside the door: "Where is the person? Where did he go?"
Only then did the guard feel that something was wrong, he hurriedly ran into the small courtyard, and stammered, "Brother, the head of the family, there was, not long ago, a person who said that he came to poison the old village owner under your order, and the younger one is not allowed." Come in."
The bandit leader knew right away that he had hit the trick, kicked the guard fiercely angrily, and cursed: "Trash!" Time was running out, and the bandit leader couldn't help it. He glanced at the small courtyard with hatred and fled in a hurry.
Compared with beauty, wealth and life are more important.
It's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.
The bandit leader and his party were caught up by the cavalry battalion before they ran far.
The cavalry battalion's eyes lit up, knowing that they had caught a big fish, and shouted: "Take them!"
"Here!" The soldiers on horseback surrounded the bandit leader and his party in a murderous manner.
When the bandit leader saw it, he let out a long sigh helplessly, and he was caught without a fight.
*************
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Zhennan Pass returned to calm again.
Ouyang Shuo did not intervene in matters such as sealing up the treasury, inventorying supplies, and collecting prisoners. Mu Lanyue and Mu Guiying were entirely in charge. He has already stated that Shanhai County is assisting this time and will not participate in the distribution of spoils.
Ouyang Shuo didn't even plan to take back the ladders and bed crossbows he brought, and gave them all to Mulan Yue. Five bed crossbows will be deployed at Zhennan Pass to enhance the defense of Zhennan Pass.
According to Mu Guiying's plan, a battalion of troops will be stationed at Zhennanguan in the early stage. Although the number is small, it is not easy given the scale of Mulan County.
According to Ouyang Shuo's request, the troops from Shanhai County have withdrawn from Zhennan Pass and assembled outside the pass.
After counting, 75 people were killed in the first battalion of the Imperial Guard Brigade in this campaign, mainly because they were hit by stones during the siege; because the first battalion of the first brigade did not participate in the fierce battle, only five people were killed.
Ouyang Shuo ordered that the remains of the fallen soldiers be gathered up and brought back to the Shanhai County Cemetery for burial.
"Brother Wuyi, let's enter the customs together!" Mulanyue ran over with a smile.
Ouyang Shuo was taken aback, he didn't intend to enter the customs, but was going to return to Shanhai County immediately, and said, "Yueyue, what's the matter?" Even though Mulanyue was still a little girl, after more than half a year of experience as a lord, her mind and heart became more mature. In fact, he was already extremely mature, calling Ouyang Shuo to stop would definitely not be indiscriminate.
"Brother Wuyi, why don't you come here!" Without any explanation, Heihe directly grabbed Ouyang Shuo's clothes and walked into the pass. Ouyang Shuo followed behind her with a wry smile.
Zhennanguan, the meeting hall.
In the hall, there are more than a dozen boxes. Li Anbai's father and daughter were also there, but Li Anbai's complexion was a little bad, and he looked like he was going to die at any moment. Li Feixue was beside him, crying silently.
Mulanyue dragged Ouyang Shuo and asked him to sit at the top of the meeting hall with her.
Sitting at the bottom, Mu Guiying clasped her fists and said, "My lord, a total of 2,140 people were captured in this battle, and a large amount of grain, grass, materials, weapons and equipment were seized. The most important harvest is the twelve boxes of gold and silver jewelry in the hall. I will count them at the end. At once, there are two boxes of gold, eight boxes of silver, and two boxes of jewelry."
The treasuries of Zhennanguan have a wealth of materials, including basic materials such as grain and forage, materials for defending the city such as oil and wood, and military materials such as bows and arrows, swords, and armor.
In addition, it is all kinds of gold and silver jewelry.
Some of these treasures were originally in Zhennan Pass; some were brought from the cottage after Li Anbai settled in; some were obtained by bandits raiding past merchants over the years.
Mulan Yue brought Ouyang Shuo here, the most important thing was to discuss how to distribute the twelve boxes of treasures. She knew very well that the elite troops of Shanhai County had a lot to do with successfully taking down Zhennan Pass this time.
Although Ouyang Shuo had long ago declared that he would renounce the distribution of the spoils, Mulan Yue still couldn't do the thing of taking the spoils all by himself. On this matter, Mu Guiying was also extremely supportive.
Ouyang Shuo also did not expect that the property in Zhennan Pass was more than that of the bandit village in Eshiling. It would be a lie to say that you are not tempted at all. However, in Ouyang Shuo's eyes, these funds are just icing on the cake, but to Mulan County, which is undergoing rapid development, it is a timely help.
"Brother Wuyi, the gold and jewels belong to you, how about it?"
Mulanyue's distribution plan seemed exaggerated, but it was actually quite fair. The value of the captives and various materials in this campaign is no less than two boxes of gold, especially various weapons and equipment.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head resolutely, gave Mulanyue a doting look, and said firmly, "Yueyue, you don't have to. How about it, I'll take a box of gold and leave the rest to you."
Seeing that Mulanyue was about to make a sound, Ouyang Shuo reached out to stop him: "That's the deal."
"Okay, thank you Brother Wuyi!" Mulan Yue rolled her eyes and agreed with a smile.
After the distribution was completed, Ouyang Shuo was about to get up and leave.
"Ahem~~" Li Anbai coughed suddenly, reminding himself of his existence.
"What else is the old village master doing?" Mu Guiying asked.
Li Anbai nodded his head with difficulty, his voice was hoarse: "This old man will die soon, the only thing I can't rest assured about is my little girl. I also ask the general and the two adults to help me."
Mu Guiying turned to look at Mulanyue, signaling that she would be the one to decide.
Mulanyue said crisply: "What's so difficult about this? Sister Feixue is innocent and cute. She will never be wronged if she lives in Mulan County in the future. Please rest assured, the old village master."
Ouyang Shuo shook his head amusedly, he didn't expect that Mulanyue, like him, also had a habit of taking in younger sisters.
"So, thank you, old man!" Li Anbai finally felt relieved after receiving Mulanyue's assurance.
After everything was done, Ouyang Shuo took his leave and left.
Before leaving, Mulanyue suddenly gave Ouyang Shuo a token.
"What is this?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Mulanyue smiled mysteriously, "This was seized by Sister Mu when she searched the secret room in Zhennan Pass, take a look."
Ouyang Shuo checked the attributes of the token, his jaw dropped in shock.
[Fusion token] (3/3): After use, the separated subsidiary territory village building token can be integrated with the existing town, without having to start from scratch.
Undoubtedly, [Fusion Token] solved one of Ouyang Shuo's biggest problems. He can completely separate the village building tokens from Beihai County, Yushui County, or Youyi County, and then use [fusion tokens] to integrate these village building tokens with Tianfeng County and other territories to restore the growth of these territories sex.
"Yueyue, do you know the value of this token?" Ouyang Shuo said solemnly.
If such a sky-defying token is placed on the super auction platform, it will definitely stir up waves.
Without realizing it, Mulan Yue laughed and said, "I know. But, I think Brother Wuyi needs this token more than I do. Only you can maximize the value of this token." Ouyang Shuo All members of the Shanhai League knew about the capture of the five territories, and Mulanyue was no exception.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, and suddenly reached out to touch the little girl's head, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll accept the token." He didn't ask the question of repayment, and accepted it calmly. The relationship between the two suddenly changed. They have to get close and eliminate all barriers, just like a pair of brothers and sisters.
Mulanyue smiled, as bright as summer flowers, warming people's hearts.
*************
Back in Shanhai County, Ouyang Shuo dismissed the troops and returned to the office alone.
[Fusion token] can be used three times, which means that three village building tokens are required. How to use and which three pieces to use will involve Ouyang Shuo's overall planning for the future territory.
The first thing Ouyang Shuo thought of was Beihai County. As a port city, energy should not be dispersed, and Beihai County is surrounded by a long and narrow coastline, which is not suitable for developing other subsidiary territories.
Therefore, the three black iron level village building tokens in Beihai County can be completely freed up.
Secondly, it is the question of which subsidiary territory or territories to merge. Among the five affiliated territories, Gushan County, as the Shanman Autonomous County, can be excluded and is not suitable for using fusion tokens.
Gushan County's goal of attracting population is the barbarian tribe in the mountains and forests. In the future, its population growth rate will not be lower than that of other subordinate territories, and there is no need to refresh refugees at all.
For the remaining four subordinate territories, Tianfeng County will definitely use one. The crux of the problem is whether Yishui County, Yongye Town, and Guangshui Town need to consume a precious village building token.
Ouyang Shuo didn't intend to consume three chances at once, at least one token should be reserved for Duanren County in the future. Ba Dao's Duan Ren Town, if you don't move it now, doesn't mean you won't move it in the future.
As the eastern central city in Ouyang Shuo's plan, its growth potential cannot be erased.
In the end, Ouyang Shuo decided to only integrate Tianfeng County and Yishui County for the time being.
