Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 97
There are three tribal camps in Lone Bamboo Manor.

Except for one near Guzhufu Treasury, the other two are one in the east and one in the west.

The two camps are located in passes on both sides of Lone Bamboo Manor, built against the mountains.

Each camp can accommodate hundreds of people and is a temporary place for troops and visiting guests, bodyguards and entourage.

It was supposed to be a line of defense to protect the manor, but in recent years due to the overall shrinkage of Gongsun Zan's power, the intimidation has been slightly reduced.

Although the chief steward Zhou Xing was talented, his background was too low, he lacked some palace and authority, and lost control over some tribes.

Someone took the lead in the western camp and became a den for trouble.

In the past, they didn't dare to act recklessly.

But since the news of Gongsun Zan's defeat spread throughout the north, and because Gongsun Xuan's bodyguards who came here all the time seemed to be the real master and instigated him, he did not recognize his master.

Gongsun Xuan said that Gongsun Zan had been defeated and she would be the owner of this place, and wanted to move from the guest courtyard to the larger and more luxurious main courtyard.

Although Zhou Xing was left in western Liaoning by Gongsun Zan, he had no chance to show off his talents.

But he also knew that it was a different kind of trust for Gongsun Zan to hand over his family's property to him based on his temperament.

Years of loyalty, planning and management, without slacking off.

Knowing that this Lone Bamboo Manor was a refuge built by Gongsun Zan for his youngest daughter in troubled times, he put even more effort into it, even more so than creating a dowry for his own daughter.

Four years ago, the main house of Lone Bamboo Manor was completed. Gongsun Xuan, who got the news from nowhere, comes to the manor every year to hunt and play. Zhou Xingjun treated her as a distinguished guest.

No matter how domineering she was, she never complained at all.

But the host is the host, and the guest is the guest!
At this time, the guest actually wanted to occupy the main courtyard and even the entire family property. This was beyond Zhou Xing's understanding of the guest relatives.

Moreover, when he learned that Gongsun Zan had been defeated, Zhou Xing was frightened and angry, and did not want to believe it. He was so angry that he wanted to kick out the evil guest.

He had several conflicts with these people who were eager to support their new masters. Zhou Xing clearly remembered all these evil slaves who betrayed their masters.

At this time, something happened again in the Lingzhifu treasury, and Zhou Xing hated these people even more deeply.

Even though the man in front of him had a bruised nose and face, Zhou Xing could still recognize him as one of those vicious dogs.

The middle-aged man was first dragged into the woods with his mouth half-covered, where he received a severe beating and was carried all the way with his mouth gagged.

Even the ignorant and ignorant villains in troubled times knew that the end was over at this moment, and revealed their plans as if they were pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

How they planned in the Xishan camp.

It was agreed that we would gather at the Xishan camp tomorrow, and we would bring the villagers all the way to the main house to ask for an explanation.

How to drive the trapped Yinhu to attack the main house.

If we lose then, the ones who will die will be those untouchables who have taken advantage of a large number of people. The law will not punish them. The master may not dare to fight for their vitality to be completely liquidated, but they can escape punishment.

If you win, you may be able to rob the property and leave the manor to escape your humble status.

Or it can control the weak master's family, occupy this place, and act tyrannically.

Following his confession, Zhou Xing, who knew the inside story, added in. After a while, the whole thing was pieced together.

Tian Kai couldn't help but sneered: "What a nasty guest!"

"What a bunch of vicious dogs!"

Even Xia Houlan and others looked gloomy.

If these people were to successfully enslave thousands of households in the village and attack the main house, it would be a big turmoil.

Back then, the Yellow Turban thieves used this method to coerce the people and swept away the Han Dynasty.

All the people present were You Ji, and they were very familiar with this vicious approach.

"The father and son named Deng who are taking the lead have very vicious thoughts."

If Zhao Yun hadn't always paid attention to the training of sentinels, the sentinels and cavalry in the army were all capable people, and they would have discovered clues and followed them all the way.

On their first day at the manor, they must relax for a day before doing anything else.

It would be too passive to wait until these vicious dogs gain momentum and come to the door.

Zhou Xing even urged with trembling hands: "Mr. Tian, ​​Captain Zhao, think of a solution quickly." This manor was planned and built by Zhou Xing. How could he bear to see this paradise like a paradise in this world destroyed? At the hands of these little vicious dogs.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou." Tian Kai patted his shoulder and comforted him: "They are just some young people. Now that they know it in advance, what else can they come up with?"

Tian Kai looked at Zhao Yun with a relaxed expression.

But I saw him staring at the map, his face as dark as water.

"Did Zilong make another discovery?" Looking at his face, Tian Kai knew he must have discovered something.

"Manager Zhou, may I ask where this is?" Zhao Yun drew a line on the map.

There is a narrow mountain road on the map that passes through the mountains and leads directly from the west mountain to the right of the main house.

Zhou Xing listened to his question and hurriedly came over to take a look.

"This was a path opened for transporting timber when the main house was built. It must have been abandoned."

Tian Kai and Xia Houlan also came closer to take a look. When Zhao Yun had already pointed out the target, their expressions suddenly changed as soon as they saw it.

"Zi Long!"

Tian Kai stood up suddenly. After many years of military service, he knew what it meant to have such a small road leading directly to the main house under the premise that there were people pushing and instigating him behind the scenes.

Zhao Yun nodded and stood up.

"Zixiu, please call up the Hundred Infantry Troops and immediately go to this trail to set up an ambush! Bring more arrows. If anyone passes by, no matter who they are or what their identity is, they will be killed."

Zhao Yun placed his hand on the thinnest pass of the trail on the map.

"promise!"

"Tian Gong!" Zhao Yun bowed his hand to Tian Kai, "I would like to ask Tian Gong to do your best to lead the rest of the troops to guard the safety of the main house. Aze will still stay with you as deputy general."

"it is good!"

"Wang Wu!"

"Here." Wang Wu, who had been standing silently aside, stepped forward.

"Take fifty white horses and the elite Yi Cong to guard the lady's courtyard and stay at all times to prepare for any emergencies."

"promise!"

"Steward Zhou!"

"Ah, here!" Zhou Xing also stepped forward and awkwardly performed military etiquette.

"You have Lao Zhou to take care of things and dispatch people to appease the central part of the village and the shade households."

"This time it involves the turmoil in the central part of the village. Except for these Xiaoxiao, any participator who has no different intentions will stay where they are and perform their duties."

"Anyone who approaches the main house without mercy will be killed without mercy!"

After hearing the last three words "kill without mercy", Zhou Xing was shocked by the sudden murderous aura and swallowed: "Yes!"

"Besides, is there any ready-made grease here?"

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Xing nodded hurriedly, "A large number of livestock were slaughtered early this morning, and the oil was not wasted. It was made into lamp oil. There is no need to transfer it from the treasury."

Although animal fat lamp oil has a peculiar smell, it is also a source of oil for night lighting.

"Immediately organize the servants and maids to make simple torches. It doesn't need to be too elaborate, just usable. The faster, the better."

After arranging everything, Zhao Yun straightened his sword at his waist and said, "I will take two hundred white horses to set out for the Xishan camp."

"Mr. Tian, ​​there is work here!"

"Zilong don't worry!"

"This... Captain Zhao, do you need to report this to your wife?" Zhou Xing asked hesitantly.

"Of course we need it." When mentioning Gongsun Yan, Zhao Yun suddenly remembered the words of tiger and wolf that she blurted out expressionlessly, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "It's just that the lady is troubled now, so there is no need to worry about such trivial matters. ."
