Thinking that there were more than 6,000 people, Han Xi immediately gave up the ridiculous idea of attacking the county seat. He only had 260 system soldiers on hand, plus 200 spearmen recruited on the road, more than 20 township party members, and 100 township warriors.
There are barely 600 people in total. How can 600 people control a county with thousands of people?
Han Xi thought to himself, it would take at least two thousand people to control the county, right?
"These people are all under your control. We need to hurry up at the blacksmith shop." Han Xi told the steward of the blacksmith shop.
Han Xi hoped that there would be more visits from Yichuan County, so that a large number of strong laborers could be sent without taking care of their families.
Although four li are now included, many of the strong laborers in these li have fled, and most of the remaining ones are old and weak.
As for the thousands of captured thieves, it will take some time to tame them.
It just so happens that the local braves and thieves from these counties can supervise each other.
As for the county seat, Han Xi didn't care much.
As long as it is cast in the blacksmith shop, everyone will be able to have a set of weapons and a set of economical cloth armor. Han Xi will not be afraid when he encounters thousands of officers and soldiers.
The only places nearby that could mobilize thousands of officers and soldiers were Yan'an Prefecture and Yanzhou, a hundred miles west of Yichuan.
However, Han Xi was not very worried. The officers and soldiers in these two places might move the poles that were laid twenty or thirty miles away, but it would be difficult for them to run hundreds of miles up the mountain road to suppress the bandits.
Thinking of this, Han Xi felt relieved.
However, we need to increase the number of detection sentries. This time there was such a large team coming from the county town, but no one came to report.
"Xu San, do you know your mistake?" Han Xi said with a serious face.
"Please punish me, General!" Xu San knelt down and said, letting people touch the mountain behind the village without knowing it. There is no way to evade this matter.
"Please punish me, General," the other dozen or so township party members all knelt down.
"Very good. You can't eat meat for the next six months. If you do it again, you will be responsible for raising horses from now on." Han Xi said expressionlessly.
Life has been comfortable recently, but these rural party members also need to be beaten.
Originally A Niu wanted to plead for mercy, but when he heard the punishment, he shut up.
After hearing this, all the township party members breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, we can't blame them. How far can they explore with a donkey every day?
But there are only so many horses, and they don’t know how to ride, which is also very helpless.
After this attack, the following days were very peaceful.
Han Xi also lived a very comfortable life. He led people to dig water channels every day, all the way to the foot of the mountain. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he dug a large pond and prepared to install a small water tanker in the pond to transport the water to the shorter terraces.
"Pull harder," Han Xi directed at the pond with flowing water.
"Hey!" Dozens of people shouted at the same time and worked together to slowly pull up the smaller water tanker.
Just as Han Xi was directing a group of people to pull the waterwheel, a fellow villager approached and whispered: "General, a fellow villager came over and said he wanted to see you."
"Countryman?" Han Xi felt a little strange, why would a fellow countryman come here.
After Han Xi asked the farmer who was making the waterwheel to take over the command, he said: "Bring it here!"
As he said that, Han Xi went to sit on a wooden pillar under the shade of a tree in the distance, and started eating red dates from a dustpan. There were not many farmlands in Chenjiagou, but there were many jujube trees. There were many wild jujubes on the top of the mountain. There are also many trees.
However, wild jujube trees taste very sour, so only children and women like to eat them.
Soon, a short and thin man was brought to Han Xi.
"Xi, Xi brother, do you still remember me, Wang San! We used to go to the river together to watch the mother-in-law take a bath." The short and thin man said with a big yellow tooth.
"Did you call me Brother Xi? General." A Niu, who was next to Han Xi, shouted. He remembered that Wang San was a rogue in the village who followed Han Xi all day long to defraud others.
Wang San felt a little contempt in his heart, so he returned the favor to the general with only a few hundred people. Although he was despised in his heart, he said with a smile: "Look at my memory, general, don't be offended."
Han Xi looked at Wang San up and down for a while, and then he really remembered that the two of them secretly watched the mother-in-law take a bath, but after being discovered, Wang San ran so fast.
"Okay, Wang San, how did you find him here?" Han Xi asked.
"Hey hey hey! Am I joining the team of King Chuang?" Wang San said and glanced at Han Xi secretly.
When Han Xi heard about King Chuang, he was stunned for a moment. You must know that he was responding to King Chuang's flag, but was killed by the army.
Thinking of this, Han Xi frowned and said, "Why did you come to me if you weren't staying with King Chuang?"
Hearing Han Xi's question, Wang San smiled flatteringly and said: "Hehehehe! King Chuang has also heard about the reputation of Black Wind Village these days, so he wanted to invite Xi~"
"Yeah!" A Niu glared at Wang San with a fierce look.
A Niu, who had a fierce look on his face, quickly changed his words: "I want to invite the general to join the rebel army and discuss important matters together."
Discuss important matters together? Han Xi was stunned for a moment, feeling as if there was nothing to discuss. What you do is against you, and I am against mine.
Taken together, it is easy to be noticed by the officers and soldiers of Yan'an Prefecture.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the state capital were not easy to mess with. The early rebels were also driven around, especially those servants who received double pay. Their combat effectiveness was estimated to be no worse than ordinary imperial soldiers, and they were fully armored.
Han Xi was defeated by a group of officers and soldiers with more than thirty servants.
So it was better to let the king of Chuang attract the attention of the state officers and soldiers. He could just play with the county warriors and government officials in the ravines.
Thinking of this, Han Xi did not rush to refuse, but asked: "How many people does King Chuang have at this time?"
"Hehehehe! King Chuang has dozens of heroes and thousands of troops under his command. As long as General Xi~ passes by, he will definitely be the number one general under King Chuang." Wang San said very proudly.
"The first general?" Han Xi was speechless. The first general under King Chuang should be Li Zicheng. He still didn't want to compete with the future emperor for the first general.
"Well! I need to discuss this matter with my brothers. You should go back first!" Han Xi waved his hand and sent Wang San away.
Hearing this, Wang San was stunned, and then he said like a dog-skin plaster: "General, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How about we have two drinks tonight?"
"Well! The general asked you to leave, but you won't leave! Could it be that we can't find him and fight him?" A Niu shouted immediately. Now the food is not enough for people, and he still wants to drink two drinks.
"When I'm talking to your general, there's no place for a lackey like you to interrupt," Wang San shouted, holding his neck.
Soon, A Niu and Wang San stared at each other.
Han Xi grabbed a handful of dates from the dustpan and stuffed it into Wang's second hand and said, "You don't have to drink. These dates will satisfy your cravings on the way. It's getting late, so go back early!"
"This?" Wang San was a little stunned, wondering why Han Xi seemed to be a different person. The relationship between the two of them was very good in the village.
Just as Wang San was stunned for a moment, he saw two big men approaching him.
Seeing this, Wang San could only smile and stuff the dates into his arms and said: "The general is right, so I'll take my leave first."
With that said, Wang San turned and left.
Looking at Wang San leaving, A Niu asked worriedly: "General, you won't go to King Chuang, will you?"
Han Xi glanced at A Niu and walked straight to the village without answering his doubts.
This made A Niu a little confused. Should he go or not?
