The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 36
Liu Ji, Bai Jinxiu and the others just saw this scene when they entered Guanjiatun. The corpses of the people who were massacred everywhere, the heads of those dead, and many houses that were still burning and emitting black smoke clearly told What the hell happened to them here.

Liu Ji's face was serious and he remained silent.Rao is the first time he has seen such a tragedy in the world when he has traveled around the world in these years.

Not to mention the two women, although Bai Jinxiu had killed people before, but all of them were villains. Seeing so many innocent people being slaughtered, she was filled with grief and indignation, her face was pale, and her body trembled slightly.

The little girl, Xiaowen, covered her mouth in horror, and tightly held the young lady's hand, tears swirled in her eyes, ready to fall at any moment.

These horrific scenes were too cruel for her.

Going forward, the excited and angry voices of the crowd came into their ears.

Looking at the tall and straight figure standing on a high place in the ruins, with the fiery red cloak flying behind him in the wind, Bai Jinxiu suddenly felt that he was gradually separated from the image of the frivolous and shapeless disciple in his mind.

At this moment, this figure seems to have a special charm, making it impossible for people to take their eyes off him.

Which one is the real him?Is it the disciple who speaks disrespectfully to him, or is it the righteous man in front of him who is fighting bloody battles and is determined to protect all people?
Bai Jinxiu was also in a trance for a while.

Facing the excited crowd, Jiang Chuan was moved, but more people felt a heavy responsibility.

Since he made an oath today and promised to protect more people, he must do what he said, otherwise he would have wasted the trust and gratitude of so many people, and also wasted his own life in this world.

"Folks, the Tartars killed our relatives and friends. This blood debt must be paid with blood. Since everyone trusts me so much, Jiang Chuan, I will not let you down. But for now, let's let the dead folks go to the ground to pay for it." Well done."

Waiting for the crowd to calm down a little, Jiang Chuan said solemnly.

……

On the hill behind Guanjiatun, new low mounds were erected one after another, in which the people who were killed by the Tartars this morning slept peacefully.

In front of each grave, people were crying and paying homage, and paper money was flying with the wind, covering the entire mountain.

Jiang Chuan led Liu Ji and the others stood aside in silence, everyone's expressions were solemn.

In this atmosphere, no one has the intention to speak.

Guan Hu leaned on a pair of crutches, and with the support of his wife and daughter, he slowly knelt down in front of his mother's grave, staring at the narrow tombstone on that side, tears gushing out, and his wife and daughter beside him also fell asleep. Already burst into tears.

Jiang Chuan came to the grave of Mrs. Guan Hu, poured a cup of libation wine from the countryside, bowed three times, then slowly sprinkled the wine in front of the grave, and then came to Guan Hu and patted him on the shoulder to express his comfort , and then walked towards other grave mounds.

He scanned all the graves of the deceased, and then led Liu Ji and others down the mountain silently, to an open space at the foot of the mountain, where all the cavalry were waiting.

Jiang Chuan also buried the three light cavalry soldiers who died in the confrontation with the Tartars at the foot of this mountain. Their names and origins were unknown, and only Jiang Chuan knew where they came from.

There are two words written on their tombstones: "Brothers". In Jiang Chuan's heart, they are not only his soldiers, but also his brothers.

Everyone who died for his ideals was his brother, there is no doubt about it.

Everyone who despises the lives of others will eventually be abandoned by others.

Taking the wine from Ran Wu's hand, he bowed slowly, then sprinkled the libation on the grave, and said softly and solemnly: "Brothers, you are here for my ideal, and I will not let you die in vain after all. , you just watch from below, I will not let you down after all. Please drink this cup to the full!"

After finishing speaking, he poured two more glasses of libations before straightening up.

Only Jiang Chuan understood what he meant, and the others half-understood, but no one spoke.

Ran Wu and Liu Ji all came forward to pay homage, and even Bai Jinxiu brought the little girl Xiaowen to pay homage, which surprised Jiang Chuan.

"I didn't expect Miss Bai to have such a heart? It's really rare." When the group walked slowly down, Jiang Chuan smiled and said to Bai Jinxiu who was walking beside him.

"Hmph, don't think that you, General Jiang, are the only ones who are sympathetic and compassionate to the common people. Others are not hard-hearted." Bai Jinxiu retorted with a blank look.

"Very good." Jiang Chuan smiled and didn't continue to argue with her. He waved to Liu Ji who was on the side, and led Liu Ji to the side.

Jiang Chuan's sudden seriousness made Bai Jinxiu, who was used to bickering with him in the past two days, suddenly not used to it, and was a little stunned for a while looking at his back.

"Military division, Calabash Valley must be captured as soon as possible." Jiang Chuan cut to the chase.

Liu Ji was taken aback for a moment, and understood what he meant: "Your Excellency, do you want to gather these common people?"

"Their homes have been burned down by the Tartars, and even if they are rebuilt, they don't know when they will be poisoned by the Tartars again. The Tartars have suffered a loss from us this time, and it is uncertain when they will come back with revenge, so we There must be a place to stay as soon as possible, so taking down Calabash Valley is a top priority." Jiang Chuan nodded and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, this matter must start with Hai Dongqing first. How about this, I will talk to this fellow first, it is best to let him write a letter in his own hand, and then send someone to take his token and letter to Hulu Valley. It would be best if we can successfully persuade the rest of the bandits to surrender, but if not, we can count as asking for directions, and I have other strategies to capture Calabash Valley.”

Liu Ji said after pondering for a while.

"Okay, it's not too late, you go to Hai Dongqing now, it's not too late." Jiang Chuan nodded in agreement.

Liu Jigong cupped his hands and turned to leave.

After a while, he came back, holding a letter and an emerald finger ring in his hand, apparently a token from Hai Dongqing.

Jiang Chuan took the letter and scanned it, then shook his head and said, "This kid is dishonest, he doesn't speak clearly, military commander, can you imitate other people's handwriting?"

Liu Ji was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "I understand this a bit."

"Well, just imitate this guy's handwriting, and tell them to prepare 20 taels of silver to redeem people, otherwise they will tear up the ticket. Don't talk about persuading surrender." Jiang Chuan said.

"Why is this? Don't you intend to seize Calabash Valley? You just want to ask for money?" Liu Ji couldn't understand.

"I said military division, you are so smart and confused for a while. If we directly persuade them to surrender and let them give up Calabash Valley, doesn't that mean that they have no way out? These people have been bandits for many years. Once they lose their lairs, there is no way out." There is nowhere to go. Therefore, others will definitely not agree to the matter of seizing people's lair, and it is likely to be self-defeating, making these thieves tough with us."

Jiang Chuanxu nodded and Liu Ji said with a smile.

"The general is more thoughtful. If we only use money as the condition, not only can we test Haidongqing's prestige among the thieves, but it will not arouse their strong resistance, and they will lose their vigilance against us. If they don't agree, we have a place to turn around." Liu Ji said "suddenly realized", with the original expression on his face.

But Jiang Chuan caught the flickering smile from the corner of this guy's eyes, pointed at him and scolded him, "I said you scholars are full of tricks, you thought of it tomorrow morning, but you insisted on telling it from me, To prove that I am wise and wise as an adult, I really am an old fritter."

Liu Ji was told by Jiang Chuan, he laughed and didn't refute, obviously acquiescing.

Looking at Liu Ji's appearance, Jiang Chuan felt that he was still too young, and the city was not enough.

Liu Ji turned around to write a letter, and Jiang Chuan also began to seriously think about how to gather people from Guanjiatun.

But after much deliberation, he finally landed on Calabash Valley.

Only by taking down Calabash Valley, can all the people from Heiniu Mountain and Guanjiatun be resettled, and it can be regarded as officially having a base that can be attacked, retreated and defended.

Can Calabash Valley be successfully won?Jiang Chuan didn't know either.

But the methods are all thought up by people. If even a small bandit's den can't be taken down, how will they attack the city and conquer the land in the future?
If using Costin's letters and tokens to persuade them to surrender this time doesn't work, then what should we do?

While Jiang Chuan was thinking hard, the strange voice of the system sounded in his head without losing the opportunity:

"Because the lord carried out a rescue operation for the civilians, the lord was rewarded with 1000 honor points. And the lord activated the 'power of faith' during this operation, so the system officially unlocked the temple function for the lord, from which he can train monks full of faith and monk. "

After listening, Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then burst into ecstasy.

He knew that the function of this monastery must be the monastery in the original system, but because of the real background, it was changed to a monastery to give Jiang Chuan a better sense of substitution.

I remember that when he was short of money when playing games, he would train a large number of monks from the monastery to defend against computer intrusion, and even a large number of violent monks would attack the enemy's castle and drown the enemy's lord with crowd tactics.

Although the combat effectiveness of these monk soldiers is medium, not too strong, but the biggest advantage is that they are cheap and their mobility is not weak.

Each monk soldier only needs 1 gold coin to deal with, but it needs 25 honor points.

But it's worth it for their high price-performance ratio.

Unexpectedly, he was worried about the lack of troops if he wanted to storm Calabash Valley, so the system unlocked the temple function for him and rewarded him with a thousand honor points.

Isn't his current situation just that he has more honor and less money?Just in time, the monk soldiers will come in handy.

After figuring this out, Jiang Chuan's confidence in capturing Calabash Valley suddenly became much stronger.

　The second is more, I still take the trouble to appeal to the big guys to vote for it, brazenly begging for a reward or something...
