It didn't take long for me to have the advantage of not being able to stick to the mud. I was beaten all over my head and fled towards the north in a state of embarrassment.
The 50,000 thieves were nothing. They didn't even touch a hair on Wang Chengen's head, and they were beaten to pieces. They had no choice but to escape.
Unfortunately, the thieves were too powerful. Although Wang Chengen could win with less and more strikes, he was unable to keep the non-stick team behind. He could only watch the non-stick team escape.
Hejin County was finally recaptured.
However, what was taken back was a ruins strewn with corpses.
Thirty to forty percent of the 100 people in the city were killed, and 20% were coerced into the bandit army. The remaining good people were less than half of the total population.
Moreover, those who survived had all their belongings looted from their homes. They sat in the burned-down city with blank eyes, looking at the houses with black smoke around them, unable to even shed tears.
With a dark face, Wang Chengen walked through the streets of the city. It wasn't until he walked into the county government office and sat on the magistrate's chair that he let out a long sigh: "It's like this again... This is the same as the victory of Jiannu. What’s the difference between a city and a city?”
Shi Jian couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Is this also true for Jian Nu's siege of the city?"
"Yes!" Wang Cheng'en said: "A few months ago I went to the capital to visit the king. When I passed through the villages and towns that were attacked by Jian Nu, I saw the same general appearance. Every time Jian Nu conquered a city, he would massacre it for three days, leaving corpses everywhere. , and stole all the property. These bandits are no different from savages from other races."
Shi Jian: "..."
Wang Chengen sighed: "It is difficult for the people in Hejin County to survive. I can only write a letter to the court on their behalf, asking the superiors to send some money and food to help the people here."
When Li Daoxuan heard this, his embroidered eyebrows couldn't help but frown together. It didn't take a fancy to think that this letter was written in vain. It was impossible for the court to give a copper plate of relief to the people of Hejin.
He lowered his voice and said in Shi Jian's ear: "Tell him that our Gaojiacun will provide food to rescue him and let him hand over the Longmen Ancient Ferry to us."
When Shi Jian heard the small voice in his ear, he perked up. With Tianzun's decree, it would be easy to do things. He clasped his fists and said, "General Wang, we still have some food in Chengcheng County. We can get it from the dock in Heyang County." By shipping, food is sent to Longmen Ancient Ferry to help the people here tide over the difficulties."
When Wang Chengen heard this, he perked up, but he immediately showed a worried look: "You have already lent me a large amount of food to the general. If you want to help the people in Hejin County again, it will be quite difficult, right?"
Shi Jian: "There are definitely difficulties, but we are not afraid of them. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Wherever we make the most of our efforts, we will do our best."
Wang Chengen nodded: "Okay! I'll leave this matter to you."
Shi Jian clasped his fists: "My subordinates are bold and request to be stationed at Longmen Ancient Ferry to personally supervise the transportation of grain and grass."
Wang Chengen was not a civil servant, and he was not very interested in intervening in matters related to people's livelihood. When he heard Shi Jian's request, he thought to himself: This person who was assigned by Liang Shixian to fight in our army had personally experienced a war. After that, I was probably a little scared to death. I didn’t dare to go to the front line anymore and wanted to stay behind and do the logistics.
That’s all, that’s not impossible! If the relevant person dies, I will be too embarrassed to borrow food from Liang Shixian shamelessly in the future. I will let him drag behind to do the logistics. I will give him a little profit from my previous battle achievements to help him get promoted in the future.
Thinking of this, Wang Chengen stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand: "Okay, let's arrange it like this. I will send a hundred guardsmen to guard the Longmen Ancient Ferry with you to ensure the safety of the food transportation line."
Shi Jian was overjoyed: "Thank you, General."
He hugged his fists and pulled the white cat out of the meeting hall. The two of them moved to a deserted place behind the tent. Shi Jian then said: "Wang Xiaohua, I will temporarily stay at Longmen Ancient Ferry. After I have rescued the refugees here, If you follow me again, you can continue to follow Wang Chengen."

The white cat chuckled: "Okay, leave the rest to me."
Shi Jian leaned his shoulder on Bai Mao's shoulder, and the rag doll Tianzun sitting on his shoulder began to move, jumped onto Bai Mao's shoulder with a hey, and sat down with a smile.
Bai Mao felt excited in his heart: God bless me for coming.
Shi Jian gave a big salute to the rag doll, then turned and walked out, greeted the one hundred guard soldiers sent to him by Wang Chengen, and headed towards Longmen Ancient Ferry.
The white cat returned to the meeting hall and stood next to Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen raised his eyelids, glanced at the white cat, and asked curiously: "Did Shi Jian give you his doll?"
The white cat smiled: "Yes! This is his amulet. He gave it to me to keep me safe when I go to the battlefield."
Wang Chengen shook his head. He was a weirdo with connections. He actually relied on a rag doll to comfort himself. What a weak soldier. Among the generals under my command who go to the battlefield and fight to the death, which one would rely on this kind of thing to protect them? Tsk! ——
At the same time, Gaojia Village, Railway Station No. 2.
The most significant invention of Mr. Bai's life, the steam train, is finally about to begin trial operation.
The long railway track was laid all the way from Gaojiacun to the Refugee Valley, which was the same distance as the first railway laid by Li Daoxuan, six miles.
This distance was not close to ancient people. In order to lay this six-mile-long railway track, Mr. Bai expended a lot of effort.
Because it was of an "experimental" nature, Thirty-two did not support him regardless of the cost, did not transfer a large amount of money and food from the village treasury, and did not hire a large number of migrant workers.
It was just that some "research funds" were allocated in accordance with Tianzun's previous regulations of "appropriate support for scientific researchers."
Mr. Bai took this pitiful "research fund" and hired three blacksmiths and a hundred migrant workers. He opened up a new road next to the electric train track driven by Tianzun, added sleepers and rails, and built a New lines.
It took half a year to repair just these six miles of railway track.
Of course, this road is relatively easy, but the real difficulty is the huge iron car placed on the rails.
In order to build this thing, hundreds of thousands of kilograms of iron alone were used.
As for the technology used in this locomotive, it integrates all the physics knowledge gained in Gaojiacun School. There are countless technologies used in it, such as steam engines, gears, axles, levers...
Mr. Bai was so young that he almost lost his hair in order to make this locomotive. Now, it was finally time to verify whether it was feasible.
Nervous!
I’m really super nervous!
There were countless people who came to watch the experiment. Even Liang Shixian, the magistrate of Chengcheng County, and Feng Juan, the magistrate of Heyang County, were invited to watch the excitement. Bai Yuan also rushed back from Qiachuan Pier to see his son's super invention.
Mrs. Bai spent money to invite a large group of girls, ready to cheer.
