Chapter 22 Procurement
What Liu Xinqi is now confused about is what the result will be if this three-star general card is attached again to someone who has already attached it.Liu Xinqi guessed that there are three possibilities.One is to overwrite it directly. The attributes of the three-star general card cover the attributes of the two-star or one-star card.

The second possibility is that the three-star card is superimposed. The attributes of the three-star general card are added to the attributes of the two-star or one-star card.

The third possibility is that the Samsung card replaces the original general card. After attaching the Samsung card, the original general card will return to "card" status.

If the latter two are possible, then it is possible to choose an existing warrior to possess a three-star general card. Liu Xinqi is familiar with them, which can be regarded as a reward for their efforts during this period.

But if it is the first possibility, it is equivalent to wasting a general card, which is not cost-effective at this time when reputation is scarce.

After thinking about it for a while, in order to avoid the first situation, Liu Xinqi decided to focus on the people who had not attached the card at this stage, so as to steadily increase the number of high-end combat power in Liujiabao.

Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Lisheng came over and told Liu Xinqi that the tents were about to be loaded into the truck and everyone was packed up and ready to go.

"Then let's go." After Liu Xinqi finished speaking, he made arrangements for the four group leaders of the migration team.

After arranging to go out and check the front and back of the team to ensure that no one was left behind, the time has reached the end of Si o'clock (after ten o'clock).During the migration period, there are two meals a day, one meal when starting out, one meal after camping at night, and a half-hour rest at noon.

Liu Xinqi came to the car pulling the wounded soldiers.

Because of the fierce massacre by the Jurchen Tatars before, there were not many wounded soldiers left. Only the five wounded who entered the cellar before it was closed survived.Including the six wounded who were later tortured and interrogated by the Jurchen Tatars, there were a total of eleven wounded. Ten of these people were slightly injured and were now able to move and follow the migrating team on the ground.

One person was seriously injured. He was shot in the thigh by an arrow while guarding the fort wall. It has been almost a month, and the wound has not completely healed, which affects his walking. According to the current medical conditions, this leg cannot be saved. , it is estimated that he will not even be able to save his life.

After Liu Xinqi gave Liu Lizhen a general card, the arrow wound left on Liu Lizhen's shoulder healed in less than two days, and now it does not affect his actions at all.Therefore, Liu Xinqi believes that the "General Card" can actually be used as a medical card. If it is not a serious injury caused by missing an arm or leg, or a wound stabbed by other swords and arrows, it is estimated that it can heal itself after its own recovery ability is increased by three or four times.

The name of this seriously injured militiaman was Li Cang, which was a rare surname among men in Liujiabao. He was somewhat related to his master's wife, Li Lian, neither close nor far away. He was Li Lian's nephew.Li Cang's wife has four daughters, but there is no boy. Li Cang is the son-in-law.

"Brother Cang, are you feeling better?" Liu Xinqi asked. Li Cang's wife was also in the car, wiping Li Cang's wounds with high-quality alcohol.The method and alcohol were all taught and prepared by Liu Xinqi before.Otherwise, Li would definitely not have survived until now, and he would have been seriously infected.

"It's still the same, the wound has been oozing pus and hasn't healed." Li Cang replied weakly.After a month of suffering from illness, Li Cang's willpower was strong enough to not die, and his spirit was tortured to a low level.

"I can cast immortal spells now, which should help your wounds. Are you willing to accept the spells? If you accept the immortal spells, you will have to obey my orders in the future."

"I do. It was you who saved my life. If you hadn't taught my wife how to clean wounds and given you this medicine called "alcohol", I would have met the King of Hell long ago." Li Cang agreed directly without hesitation. .

Li Cang's wife was obediently beside him and did not interrupt.

It seems that although Li Cang is the son-in-law, his family status should still be good, which can be seen from the meticulous care Li Cang's wife has taken this month.

"Okay, I'll cast a spell on you now." After saying that, Liu Xinqi climbed into the car, called out the general card, and patted Li Cang on the shoulder.Then view the properties.

Name: Li Cang

Nationality: Han
Age: 35
Relationship: ally

Attack: 10+50
Defense: 10+40
Strategy: 8+5
Speed: 9+45
Judging from his attributes, Li Cang should be the number one master in Liujiabao now, and with his already well-developed limbs, no one should be able to beat him at the moment.

"Okay, you continue to rest. If there are any changes in the wound, ask my sister-in-law to tell me in time." After Liu Xinqi finished speaking, he got off the car and continued walking towards the front of the migration team.

……

The trip for the next two days went smoothly. Except for meeting three refugees who joined the migration team on the way, which increased Liu Xinqi's power and reputation by three points, nothing else happened. The migration team arrived at 17:[-] on October [-]. We arrived at the "Leprosy Village" at the foot of Mount Hu.

After living in the wild for three consecutive days, Liu Xinqi planned to camp at the sunbathing area of ​​the leprosy village today, and then rest for half a day tomorrow morning to relieve the tense nerves of the migratory team.

Liu Qi led the team to the door of the leprosy village, signaled the team to take a break, and stepped forward to ask Liu Xinyuan, the outpost waiting in front of the door, about the situation of negotiations with the village.

Before setting off this morning, Liu Xinqi arranged for Liu Xinyuan to prepare the front station.

"The village chief disagreed and said that there were too many of us. We could be allowed to stay outside the village for one night and we would have to leave tomorrow. And no one could enter the village without permission, otherwise they would report it to the authorities," Liu Xinyuanhui reported.

"It's understandable, but we are camping outside the village, so we don't need his permission. Have you told the village chief that we will pay you?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"I told you, it's useless." Liu Xinyuan replied.

"The tribe must go to the village to take a good rest today. This is the first time they have migrated. They have been marching and sleeping in the wild for three consecutive days. Their nerves are too tight. If this continues, there will be trouble." Liu Qi looked at the people standing on the wall of the leprosy village in front of him. Those people who came from behind said to Liu Xinyuan: "Today you have to be a bad person. You go to the back to gather the soldiers. We will take down this village first and then reason with them."

"Okay." Liu Xinyuan responded and walked back.

Liu Xinqi did not wait for the soldiers to arrive before taking action. He walked directly to the wall 30 meters away and shouted to the wall: "Is that the village chief standing above? I am Liu Xinqi, the leader of the Liujiabao clan."

"I am the village chief Cao Yun. What do you do for me?" replied an old man in his 50s on the wall.

"We, the Liujiabao people, have traveled a long way here and are exhausted. We would like to use your village's drying ground to rest for a while. We are willing to pay you one thousand yuan as reward, and I guarantee that all the things you use in your village will be settled in cash. Wangcun Be accommodating." Liu Xinqi planned to be polite first and then attack.

"Clan Chief Liu, please forgive me. Bandits from the nearby Hushan Mountain often come down the mountain to plunder. I really don't dare to open the village gate without permission. For the sake of the villagers, I can only trouble the nobles to go elsewhere. I won't entertain you." The village chief also You're not polite, but he also hinted that Liu Jiabao might be a bandit.

"Hey, I gave you a chance." Liu Xinqi said silently in his heart. Without replying, he turned around and walked back, preparing to join the soldiers and attack the village together.After a while, Liu Xinyuan came over with fifteen soldiers, all of whom were fully armed, and brought Liu Xinqi's weapons.

Liu Xinqi has been wearing leather and iron armor these days, and he requires all soldiers to do the same.

Liu Xinqi put his short guns behind his back, his crossbow on the side of his right thigh, and his knife on his left waist.He said to the soldiers: "The purpose of attacking the village this time is not to rob, but to conquer people with force. Therefore, do not hurt people unless it is a last resort. The sword cannot be unsheathed and the gun must be used with the barrel. They probably did not expect us to be so fast." Just attack the village, so we have to attack it unprepared, try to find village chiefs, village elders and other heavyweights as prisoners, and gain the right to speak as soon as possible."

"Okay!" the soldiers replied in unison.

"Let's go!" After saying this, Liu Qi led the soldiers directly into a skirmish line, and rushed towards the wall of the Leprosy Village in pairs.

The warrior rushed so suddenly and so fast that even the villagers on the wall failed to shoot an arrow.

The wall of the leprosy village is only one foot high, and ordinary people generally cannot climb over it. But for the warrior, with a small jump, his hand directly touched the top of the wall, and he stood on the wall as soon as he turned over.

Liu Xinqi and Liu Xinyuan were in a group. Liu Xinyuan first blocked the oncoming villagers. Liu Xinqi jumped over the heads of the oncoming people and rushed straight towards the village chief. He rushed to the village chief in two big strides and drew out his knife. Put it directly on the village chief's neck.

"Shout! Tell your villagers to stop, we don't want to hurt anyone." Liu Xinqi said to the village chief.

"Don't even think about it!" Village Chief Cao Yun said strong words in a trembling tone, but his next words were a bit leaky: "Even if I say it, it may not be useful."

Liu Xinqi understands that not all villages can be as united as Liujiabao.

After looking around, Liu Xinqi then said to the village chief: "You can try shouting. After shouting, whether it works or not, I won't embarrass you." Because, with these few words, the soldiers They have already beaten 60 people on the wall, and also kidnapped two or three middle-aged and elderly people who looked prestigious.As for how to tell the difference, who told them to dress well?

"Everyone stop! Everyone stop!..." The village chief hesitated for a breathless time, and then hurriedly shouted to the remaining villagers who were still fighting.

Hearing the village chief's shout, the remaining villagers who were still fighting also saw the fighting at the scene and stopped knowingly.There are more than 60 people on our side, and the dozen or so people attacking the village on the opposite side don't seem to be injured at all. Who can still have the courage to fight?

Seeing that the villagers stopped fighting, the soldiers also stopped and stood aside.

Liu Xinqi took out two pieces of silver one tael from his breast pocket and handed it to the village chief. The village chief took it carefully and was confused.

"It's still the same conditions as before. This is the money for camping in the drying field. The extra one or two is the medical expenses for the injured villagers. Open the door and let my tribe in. We are not bandits from Hushan." Liu Xinqi said to the village chief. .

Nowadays, silver is expensive and money is cheap, and the exchange ratios in different places are different, ranging from 1:1100 to 1400. It must be more than a thousand anyway, so the two taels of silver given by Liu Qi is already sufficient.

"How could...how could...if a hero is so righteous, the people in his clan must also be good guys." Seeing that his family had lost and still had money to take, the village chief quickly smiled.Then he shouted to the villagers guarding the gate under the wall: "Open the gate quickly, let the villagers come in and rest."

"Now we will become fellow villagers again..." Liu Xinqi complained in his heart: "We are all citizens of Zhao. Problems that can be solved with money are the best if they can be solved without bloodshed."

The last time he raided two cottages at night, the property seized was worth more than 1000 taels. There will definitely be such "good" things in the future, which also causes Liu Xinqi to act and speak with a certain generosity now.

After entering the village, they set up a campsite as usual. Although they also live in tents, they are inside the wall after all, surrounded by houses and good people. Liu Xinqi obviously felt that the expressions of the people in his clan were relaxed.

Then Liu Xinqi arranged for Liu Lizhen to take people to the village chief to buy firewood, chickens, ducks and pork, excess grain in the village, ready or semi-processed spare parts for large trucks, etc. The old man knew the going price and would not be ripped off.But it is estimated that the village does not dare to slaughter them now, just as a precaution.

Although he camped at the drying yard in the village at night, Liu Xinqi still did not relax his vigilance, and arranged night duty, secret whistle and other work as usual.After everyone settled down at night, Liu Xinqi found Liu Lisheng.

"Take a half-day rest tomorrow and set off at noon. Liu Xinbao has already explored the road ahead. Tomorrow we will try to reach Zhengjiazhai, a distance of more than 20 miles. We will camp in Zhengjiazhai at night. Tomorrow we can bring a leprosy village that is more prestigious and comparable to Villagers who are familiar with Zhengjiazhai should contact Zhengjiazhai to open the door. It should be effective. If they still don't open the door, wait until I come over to meet up and then deal with it." Liu Xinqi arranged for Liu Lisheng: "I will talk to Master Li Zhen tomorrow. , with ten soldiers, thirty villagers, and twenty horses, set out early for Zhangqiu County to purchase more grain, eggs, meat, carts, ironware, cloth and other supplies. We will be with you before dark Meet at Zhengjiazhai."

"Okay, when you get to the city, listen to what you say, Mr. Li Zhen, and don't be impulsive and cause trouble." Liu Lisheng responded, and also put forward his own suggestions: "Don't force your purchase in the city. People who do business there may have some backstage." It has something to do with heaven.”

"I understand." Liu Xinqi replied obediently: "By the way, when you leave tomorrow, remember to warn the village chief not to report to the official and threaten him with the force of a soldier."

"I know that, and I will tell him properly." Liu Lisheng responded.

……

October 6, [-] o'clock ([-] o'clock)
As soon as it got dark, Liu Xinqi set off with his purchasing team.Because there were tribesmen in the team, the march was not fast. It took an hour to reach the capital of Zhangqiu County.

We knew we were going to the city today, so no one brought any obvious weapons, but only some short knives.When entering the city, the soldiers guarding the city did not ask any questions. They collected the entry tax of two cents per person and three cents per horse and let them go.

After entering the city, the purchasing process went smoothly. I first went to a car dealer and bought fifteen horse-drawn carts in stock, as well as spare parts for one cart. Then I purchased according to the cargo capacity of the carts, and bought two fans of pork, Twenty chickens, twenty ducks, [-] shi of grain, [-] shi of beans and grass for horses, [-] pieces of cloth, and some salt, oil, vinegar, needlework and other daily necessities.Finally, I went to the blacksmith and bought some arrowheads, iron pliers, nails, shovels, etc., and also bought pig iron blocks. If there was a blacksmith room in the village where I was camping on the road, I could borrow it to make some tools.

Fifteen carts were filled to the brim with purchased items, and the remaining five horses all had something hung on them.

These grains should be enough for the migrating team to eat for half a month. They will continue to purchase more when they encounter the county town later, and they will purchase more to make sufficient reserves as possible for the lean period after arriving in Dengzhou.

It went smoothly when entering the city gate in the morning, but something went wrong when I left the city gate at noon.

More than 40 people drove fifteen fully loaded carts. When they were going out, they were seen by the young general guarding the city and blocked them.

"What do you guys do? It's very unfamiliar, why do you buy so many things? What do you buy?" asked the young guard.
