Chapter 385 Mountain Troops
At ten o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Shuo summoned the officials of Yashan City and announced Tian Wenjing's appointment.
After Bai Nanpu completes the handover, he will return to Shanhai City and continue to serve as Secretary Lang. This period of experience in Yashan City will definitely become one of his most precious treasures.
In order to show his support for Tian Wenjing, Ouyang Shuo did not live in the government office, but went to live in the feudal mansion. Although the lord's mansion at the town level is simple, it is no problem to live there for a while.
Ouyang Shuo is not a person who seeks pleasure.
Walking into the lord's mansion, Sun Xiaoyue, Lin Jing and Qingsikou happened to be there.
Seeing the four guards following Ouyang Shuo, Lin Jing frowned, and said teasingly, "Boy, you're getting bigger and bigger!"
When Ouyang Shuo heard this, there was only silence, who called her his elder. In his heart, Ouyang Shuo enjoyed his aunt's "lesson". With the improvement of his status, few people are so "presumptuous" in front of him.
It's so cold at the top!
Seeing this, Qingsikou was very amused, Lianzhouhou, who was unpredictable in the eyes of others, was no different from ordinary people at this moment, just a junior scolded by his elders.
Ouyang Shuo waved away his personal guards, sat across from his aunt, and asked, "Has Nanshan Dongtian been cleared yet?"
"almost!"
Mentioning this, my aunt also frowned.
Thinking about these two months of land reclamation, it was really an "unforgettable" experience. After all, the three guilds take turns to open up wasteland, which is different from [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group].
Although in the past two months, Nanshan Dongtian has not yet cleared the customs. However, according to what my aunt said, Pioneering has entered a critical period.
Not surprisingly, within a week, you can pass the customs.
It is not yet known who will win the game.
Although the three guilds are allies in the field of pioneering, they are competitors, and they have done a good job of keeping secrets about their respective pioneering progress.
Judging by Auntie's expression, she is very confident.
Ouyang Shuo paid attention to the progress of land reclamation, which was closely related to his next plan.
Once Nanshan Dongtian is cleared, it can be officially opened to adventure players. The first batch of players will be mainly members of the three guilds. In addition, some small teams will also be selected to enter Yazhou.
At the same time, in order to strengthen the control over Yashan City, the Military Intelligence Department and the Black Snake Guard have successively set up intelligence stations in Yashan City. Every move in Yashan City is under the strict surveillance of the two intelligence agencies.
Ouyang Shuo turned his head to look at Qingsikou, and asked with a smile, "Master Qing, can you get used to it in Yazhou?"
After trying so hard to lure 【一条满】to Yazhou, Ouyang Shuo, the master, only showed up a month later, which is indeed a bit outrageous.
Qingsikou didn't mind, she nodded and said, "It's even better than I imagined."
【One Thread】has already taken root in Yazhou, using the huge sum of money raised from the sale of the Kyoto industry, invested in the construction of dozens of shops and various workshops in Yashan City, and also operates four manors and two farms outside the city.
Their investment in Yashan City is even crazier than the major chambers of commerce.
[One thread] The remaining 10,000 guild members were screened, not only were they loyal and reliable, but they were all intermediate-level or above skilled personnel, which filled the gap in the scarcity of skilled personnel in Yashan City.
The present [A Wisp] is really a force that cannot be ignored in Yashan City.
As for rare materials, one is to purchase from the elite group, and the other is to purchase through the headquarters of the three guilds. With the continuous opening of Yashan City, rare materials will no longer be a problem.
[A thread of wisps] is walking on the road of nirvana and rebirth.
Even though she has friendship with Ouyang Shuo, her expression of affection is still indifferent. This lonely woman really won't show her feelings too much in front of others.
The affectionate coldness is even better than that of Bai Hua.
The strange thing is that Qingsikou has become close friends with Sun Xiaoyue.
Before Yashan City was built, Sun Xiaoyue was not going to move her nest. Being able to lead the construction of a city is undoubtedly a great sense of accomplishment for her.
To Sun Xiaoyue, Ouyang Shuo naturally wouldn't say anything to thank him.
A tacit understanding has gradually formed between the two.
***********
In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo set out to inspect the headquarters of the Huben Legion.
Now that Yashan City is on the right track, and now Tian Wenjing is in charge, Ouyang Shuo will not intervene too much. The only thing that worried him was the suppression of the aborigines.
The scale was right, he had to have a face-to-face talk with Sun Bin.
Sun Bin is a master of formations, and the headquarters of the Huben Legion is also built in a strict and orderly manner, which is in harmony with the formations. In the barracks, except for the troops who went out to carry out the task of clearing and suppressing, the rest were practicing in their respective school grounds.
In the entire barracks, apart from the sound of drills, there were no other noisy sounds.
Sun Bin's strictness in governing the army can be seen in general.
On the way to the commander's tent, Ouyang Shuo met a young sergeant and almost bumped into each other.
The sergeant was carrying a large bag of soybeans, weighing about a hundred catties, as if he was going to a stable to feed his war horses. He carried hundreds of catties of soybeans in his hands, but he was still walking like flying without any effort.
Perhaps it was because they left in such a hurry that they didn't see Ouyang Shuo approaching him.
"Bold, how dare you run into the Lord!"
The guards are about to draw their swords, and the generals will take them down and punish them.
Ouyang Shuo looked up and saw that sergeant, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with dark skin, not tall, but unusually strong, like a cheetah.
He could faintly feel the smell of blood and unruly wildness emanating from this person. This is very interesting, it is really unusual for a small sergeant in the army to have such an aura.
Hearing the name of the guard, a light flashed in the sergeant's eyes, and even his heart beat a lot faster.
This is by no means fear, but excitement.
Ouyang Shuo's perception is so keen after he has cultivated to the seventh level of "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic". Although the sergeant's emotional changes were subtle, he caught them accurately.
It's so weird!
"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins!"
It wasn't until this moment that the sergeant came to his senses, fell to his knees with a plop, and begged for mercy. The Mandarin spoken in his mouth was not fluent, as if he had just learned it not long ago.
Ouyang Shuo frowned, waved his hands, stopped the guards, and said calmly, "Get up!"
"Thank you Junhou, thank you Junhou!"
The sergeant got up, picked up the soybeans, and walked away quickly.
The personal guard stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this person is different!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded, and said, "Contact the Military Intelligence Department and investigate secretly. Remember, don't scare the snake away."
"promise!"
After a small episode, Ouyang Shuo finally came to the handsome tent.
"Your Majesty!" Sun Bin sat on the wheelchair, cupping his fists and saluting.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, sat down at the main seat, and said, "Tell me about the situation of the natives!"
There are two major aborigines in Qiongzhou Island, one is the desolate beasts, and the other is the aborigines of the Li nationality. Especially in the Yazhou area, the Li tribes are scattered all over the island like stars.
The arrival of the Huben Legion naturally alarmed these tribes.
At first, the tribes tried to resist. It's a pity that in front of the elite regular army, the natives who were still using spears and fighting on the plains, they really had no power to resist, and were beaten back steadily.
Seeing that nothing could be done, all the tribes moved north one after another and hid in Wuzhi Mountain.
The deep mountains and old forests are the territory of the aborigines, and even Sun Bin dared not venture into them.
The situation of the battle is temporarily deadlocked like this.
Fortunately, the plain area alone is enough for Yashan City to gain a foothold.
Therefore, Sun Bin's strategy changed again. The current task of the Huben Legion is to wipe out wild beasts and desolate beasts in the plain, and train the troops at the same time.
Of course, Sun Bin did not give up on the aborigines who retreated into Wuzhishan, and frequently dispatched secret agents to Wuzhishan to investigate the enemy's situation and prepare for the next military operation.
The Li tribe is worthy of being the king of the mountains and forests. Even the elite workers sent by the Military Intelligence Department to assist them often get lost in Wuzhi Mountain or are subdued by the traps set by the natives.
No less than 30 people died in Wuzhi Mountain, which is heartbreaking.
According to the establishment of the army, a division is also equipped with a scout squadron. Adding up the details of the Huben Legion, there are only two hundred people.
Sacrifice is not insignificant.
Wuzhi Mountain almost became a restricted zone.
Good Sun Bin, if one plan fails, another plan will be made.
In the previous grassland battlefield, the Huben Legion had captured dozens of Li tribes and captured more than 30,000 Li people, all of whom were escorted to Yashan City.
More than 80% of the captives were sent to major manors or farms to work. The remaining 10% or so, a total of 5,000 people, are all young and middle-aged, and were selected by Sun Bin alone to form an army.
According to Sun Bin's strategy, he wanted to use Li youths to train a strong army for fighting in the mountains, and prepared to use Li fighters to fight against Li fighters.
It has to be said that this plan is very bold.
If Ouyang Shuo hadn't given Sun Bin the right to make temporary decisions before leaving, Sun Bin would never have dared to do so. One must know that increasing the number of troops must be proposed by the Military Affairs Department and reported to Ouyang Shuo for approval.
Because Qiongzhou Island is isolated overseas, and Sun Bin is a great general, Ouyang Shuo gave him great power.
It is not an easy task to tame the youth of the Li nationality. How to ensure that the trained mountain troops are loyal and reliable is even more of a big problem.
Now that Sun Bin is confident, Ouyang Shuo can only wait and see.
Ouyang Shuo suddenly thought that the sergeant he met just now could be a young man of the Li ethnic group, right? !
At this moment, the guard who had left came to the tent: "I want to report to you, the identity of that sergeant has been found out. He is a young man of the Li nationality who has just been recruited into the army."
As expected!
Seeing the puzzlement on Sun Bin's face, Ouyang Shuo briefly explained what happened just now.
"Junhou means that it is not easy to doubt the identity of this person?"
Sun Bin is so smart, he can guess a general idea from the expression of the prince. With the demeanor of a gentleman, if he was just an ordinary sergeant, he would definitely not be so grandiose.
"Just wait and see what happens!" Ouyang Shuo was noncommittal, turned to his guards and said, "Let's leave the investigation to General Sun."
This kind of thing is not difficult for Sun Bin.
"promise!"
