Now that I have decided to give it up, I won’t miss it at all.
Everything that could be taken away from the entire 'Qinghuang Ji' was not left behind.
What cannot be taken away is burned to ashes.
When they left the 'Qinghuang Ji', in addition to the more than 6,000 people in the 'Hanshan Military Mansion', there were nearly 10,000 ordinary people following them.
In these troubled times, although excessive population is a drag, these populations are also the foundation of a power.
Once you leave these people at the bottom, it is like a fish leaving the water. Sooner or later, you will dry up and die.
Lin Sumo did not order anyone to drive them away, but sent people to maintain order, distribute food and water, and even free up carriages and horses for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.
Although it was just a simple act to win people's hearts, it was enough to make these ordinary people burst into tears of gratitude.
Yan Bugui, Qiu Jinchuan, and Feng Daoyi saw Lin Sumo's actions in their eyes, their eyes flickered, and they couldn't help but have other thoughts in their hearts.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they could see the growing ambition in each other's eyes.
Lin Sumo didn't know that it was just an ordinary move, but it aroused the ambitions of the three people behind him that they had never experienced before.
If he knew it, he would probably disappoint the three of them.
00:21:04:32:35
Lin Sumo looked at the inside of his left hand and only he could see a series of numbers.
With twenty-one days, four hours and thirty-two minutes left, Lin Sumo was about to leave this world. However, before leaving, he had to properly arrange the 'Hanshan Military Mansion'.
In the afternoon of the second day, the large group of people arrived at the 'Wasteland Collection'.
However, they did not join the group. Instead, a large group of people came out from the north gate. The two groups merged into one group. The total number of people exceeded 30,000.
"Military Commander, there are too many people, and our food reserves can only last for a month at most!"
In the past few days, Zhuge Wuyong, who was in charge of the logistics, was a little worried.
This large-scale transfer of the 'Hanshan Military Mansion' is just to avoid the upcoming Four Kingdoms War. It is not a simple escape journey. For the future survival and development of the 'Hanshan Military Mansion', all aspects must be taken care of.
In terms of food and grass alone, Zhuge Wuyue racked his brains to raise more than two months of expenses for the "Hanshan Military Mansion".
But the number of people now far exceeds expectations, and maintaining it for one month is already the limit.
Lin Sumo asked: "Is there a solution?"
"It's difficult to return to the army!"
Zhuge Wuyong explained: "In Jiuji, the three towns in the borderland, my subordinates have sent people to purchase grains before the news of the approaching war has spread. Unfortunately, the fields in the borderlands are barren and produce very little grain. It relies on the four surrounding countries. Now the borders of Liang, Yong, and Hebei have been sealed. It seems that Henan has also heard the news. Since yesterday, the border has been strictly inspected. Salt, iron, grain, and horses have been listed as embargoed. Things!"
Lin Sumo pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and said: "Zhuge, you can discuss this matter with Chief Su later and let her resolve it through the Song clan. If that doesn't work, you can exchange all the items in the list for food!"
The exchange list listed by Lin Sumo included weapons, armor, elixirs and medicinal herbs, with a total value of one million taels of silver.
Lin Sumo looked like a lion with a big mouth, but in fact, for the Song clan, one million taels of silver was no more or less.
With Song Tianque's status in the Song clan, it is completely worth the price.
After Zhuge Wuyong learned about this, he left happily.
The large group of people continued on the road.
Half a day later, the four leading battalions of Qian, Kun, Li and Zhen had arrived under the outermost branch of the Shouyang Mountains.
Going forward, it was already difficult for the carriage and horses to move forward. Fortunately, most of the people were martial arts practitioners and were strong and worked together, so the forward speed did not slow down much.
Camp overnight in the jungle.
Early on the next morning, the 'Qian' camp followed the route described by Lin Sumo and went all the way north to explore the road.
Since entering the mountain, this area has high mountains and dense forests, and is inaccessible. If you are not careful, you will lose your way.
More than half a year ago, when Lin Sumo came down from the Shouyang Mountains, he wandered in the forest for many days before finding the direction out of the mountain.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that Luo Mingxuan, the commander of the 'Qian' camp, returned with a few people.
When he saw Lin Sumo and asked about the situation in Hanshan Temple, Luo Mingxuan had a strange look on his face and hesitated to speak. Finally, he just said: "I don't know how to explain it, but the military leader will understand it with his own eyes!"
Standing on the ruins of 'Hanshan Temple', Lin Sumo finally understood the meaning of Luo Mingxuan's words.
But Lin Sumo couldn't explain why Hanshan Temple turned into ruins in just half a year.
The grand palaces and pavilions of the past were all reduced to ruins and piles of weeds.
The plaque on the gate of 'Hanshan Temple' was found in the gravel under the weeds, but it had become mottled and decayed, losing its original color, leaving only the faint inscription of 'Hanshan Temple'. With a light touch, A big hole will be poked.
"Judging from the decay of the walls, stone steps and rubble, this temple has been damaged for at least a hundred years!"
As soon as Feng Dao dug out a tile with a carved Buddha statue from the gravel, he rubbed it gently, and the tile immediately cracked and disintegrated into pieces.
Lin Sumo certainly knew the meaning behind the words of "Feng Dao", but Lin Sumo knew very well that he had stayed in this 'Hanshan Temple' half a year ago. The same was true for the former Main Hall, Sutra Pavilion, Buddhist Pagoda, etc. The reality cannot be just his own hallucination, and that of Little Master Lingyue...
Thinking of this, Lin Sumo was suddenly stunned.
He found that during the nearly half a year he had stayed at Hanshan Temple, he seemed to only remember little master Lingyue. What was the name of the abbot of Hanshan Temple? Who is Zhike? And what are the names of those big and small monks?
It seems that he doesn't even remember it, or in other words, in the Hanshan Temple where people were coming and going at that time, except for the little master Lingyue, he never communicated with anyone.
"There is indeed a problem here!"
Lin Sumo thought for a while and found something strange.
However, Lin Sumo did not dwell too much on this matter. Although there are theories about ghosts and gods in this world, the existence of ghosts and gods has never been confirmed. Talking about these strange things will only confuse people's hearts.
"Set up camp here!"
Lin Sumo said, "The 'Qian' camp is stationed at Donghua Peak in the east, the 'Dui' camp is stationed at Yuhua Peak in the southeast, the 'Zhen' camp is stationed at Zhongnan Peak in the southwest, and the 'Kun' camp is stationed at Zhongnan Peak in the southwest. Stationed at Xihua Peak in the west, the cold pool and waterfall in the north mountain are our only water sources. The two battalions of 'Kan' and 'Li' are guarding the camp, while the two battalions of 'Gen' and 'Xun' are stationed in the main village to assist with the supplies. Set up camps and build forts and cities!"
"yes!"
Everyone agreed with a roar.
In the following days, nearly 30,000 people worked together and worked in full swing.
After digging into the mountains to extract rocks and logging timber, a village that could accommodate nearly 50,000 people gradually took shape in everyone's hands.
The area where the ruins of Hanshan Temple are located happens to be a flat land. It is integrated with the surrounding five peaks: Donghua Peak, Yuhua Peak, Zhongnan Peak, Xihua Peak and Beishan Peak. It is like a hand holding up Hanshan Temple. It's right in the palm of your hand.
This walled city named "Hanshan Ji" by Lin Sumo was built around the ruins of "Hanshan Temple".
According to Lin Sumo's request, the ruins of 'Hanshan Temple' were not damaged at all, and the entire original site of 'Hanshan Temple' was preserved.
Even so, the remaining area is still more than double the area of the Wasteland Collection.
'Hanshanji' is divided into the main city and five acropolises. The main city is mainly used for the daily life of ordinary people and the seat of the military government.
The five acropolises are used for garrisoning troops and fields; the main city is divided into eight areas according to the directions, still named after the characters "Qian", "Kun", "Li", "Zhen", "Kan", "Gen", "Xunda" and "Dui". Each area is divided into nine square streets.
The layout of the entire Jizhai follows the general structure of the Nine Jijis of the Three Border Towns. Lin Sumo did this because he wanted everyone to find a sense of familiarity and belonging in this unfamiliar environment.
"Military Commander, there is urgent news from the ANBU!"
On this day, Lin Sumo was standing on a high place overlooking the entire village. At this time, a guard rushed over and handed over a bamboo tube.
Lin Sumo opened the wax seal and poured out a roll of paper.
There were only a few words written in a very scrawled manner, but the news recorded in the words also surprised Lin Sumo.
"What do you think?"
Lin Sumo invited Yan Bugui, Qiu Jinchuan and others, circulated the paper and asked.
Everyone was deep in thought, and after a moment, Feng Dao said with a smile: "Military leader, since the ANBU has passed this matter to the military leader as a matter of urgency, I think Chief Su has confirmed the authenticity of the news in advance. In the opinion of his subordinates, , the Immortality Pill is of great importance. Once this matter comes out, it will definitely arouse the attention of all parties in the world. Luoyang, Yongdu, and Taiyi Mountain outside Luoyang City will definitely become the place where the world gathers. How can we miss such a grand event? "
"Brother Feng's words are very——"
Everyone agreed and seemed ready to make a move.
Lin Sumo did not make an immediate decision, but instead asked Wu Ming, "What do you think, Mr. Wu?"
When the 'Hanshan Military Mansion' was transferred from the Wasteland Collection, Wu Ming took Wu Yue and followed the transport department to Hanshan Collection.
Wu Ming originally wanted to reopen the "Youjian Wine Shop" in Hanshanji and become an idler. However, Lin Sumo insisted on giving Wu Ming the title of guest minister and pulled him into the decision-making level of the "Hanshan Military Mansion".
Wu Ming smiled and said: "Go ahead. In order to survive in this troubled world, Hanshan Military Mansion needs not only to become stronger itself, but also needs strong allies. This time the battle for the 'Elixir of Immortality' is an opportunity. My old bones can't stand the torment, so I'll stay here and look after your house."
Lin Sumo smiled and nodded, but there was a hint of apology in his casual eyes.
I am afraid that I will not come back again. Hanshan Military Mansion has a place to stay here. Although there are still many problems to be solved, as long as they do not commit suicide, survival will not be a problem.
Thinking of this, Lin Sumo glanced at everyone, taking this opportunity to make arrangements and leave a thought to everyone.
So, Lin Sumo nodded and said: "Okay, from now on, whenever Lin is not in Hanshanji, Mr. Wu will be the governor and responsible for overall management. Yan Bugui, Qiu Jinchuan, Fengdao and one or three Assistance! Other ministries and departments are performing their duties and looking forward to the future!"
"Yes, I will obey the order of the military leader!" Everyone stood up and agreed.
"very good!"
Afterwards, Lin Sumo stood up and smiled.
"So, this time I go out to the mountain, the soldiers are more valuable than more. Yan Bugui selected a hundred people from the "Hanshan Camp" to follow me to Luoyang, Yongdu. The others all stayed behind to build Hanshanji. I hope that when I come back, Hanshanji will be built. It’s already beginning to take shape!”
