Two thousand people slowed down their return, but the news that Ran Liang led his army to a complete victory had been sent back, so there was no need to worry about misjudgment in the riverside camp.
This day.
Wang Jing finally saw the outline of the camp on the hillside in the distance and heard the sound of the river flowing in the distance.
Looking from a distance, there was already an extra circle of earthen walls around the camp.
However, in just a few days, the earth wall that originally only reached a person's waist was half as high. The wall on the hill was made of wood, while the outside was built of loess.
At this time, the earthen walls were not high enough and the scope was not large enough.
But as time goes by, a real city will appear on this riverside sooner or later.
The two thousand people who had to move with the team cheered excitedly when they saw the initially formed earth walls and the gurgling river water, which seemed to be the source of life.
Hope finally emerged from his originally numb eyes.
In Bailian Village, what they lack is not only food, but also enough water for thousands of people to drink.
Now that there is a steady stream of river water available, their worries are reduced by half. At least, look at the young men who are constantly building earth walls and the people who are cultivating fields...
The entire camp is full of vitality and hope for the future.
Ran Liang led the cavalry out of the crowd. At this time, Captain Zhou Gong, who was in charge of staying behind, and Army Sima Huang Sheng came out hand in hand to welcome the team returning from the victory.
"Congratulations to the captain for returning home with a great victory!"
Captain Zhou Gong laughed loudly and said, "He has a beard and thick arms. At first glance, he is a man of outstanding bravery." Military Sima Huang Sheng is slightly thin, with a short three-inch beard, and has a rather calm air.
Ran Liang laughed, threw the riding whip to the guards, and then was surrounded by everyone and headed to the hill camp.
"Let's go back and rest first!"
Zhang Hun greeted Wang Jing and asked him to go back to the tent to rest.
As for the two thousand people they brought back, Army Sima Huang Sheng temporarily took over and resettled them.
…
Back at the camp, I had just finished washing up.
Duizheng Shazhen came personally and called Zhang Hun and Wang Jing to a hidden place.
"This time, the captain is planning to train another thousand troops. From now on, the strength of our beggar army will be two thousand soldiers..."
Sha Zhen regarded them as one of his own, and spoke without hesitation, directly telling what had just been discussed in the big tent.
when he spoke.
Zhang Hun and Wang Jing looked at each other quietly. They had discussed this topic on the way.
The beggar army, which has a population of more than 10,000, must be expanded as much as possible.
After the expansion, the two thousand soldiers can temporarily deal with most threats around this area.
In addition to the soldiers, the school captain Ran Liang discussed with the captain and the army Sima.
In order to accommodate the relocated people, several groups of people were planned to be scattered in the east with the people, each occupying a piece of land for farming.
The beggar army at this time was just like the grassland herdsmen in history.
A piece of grassland can accommodate only a limited number of people. The other people are like separate branches, occupying land in this area.
Ran Liang directly took out Wei Cao Cao's best way to deal with food shortages and gather refugees, farming!
Let the soldiers under his command each lead a part of the people to cultivate fields and build villages.
The camp by the river where he was was stationed with the elite of the beggar army. The men and horses who were separated were like spider threads, woven into a cobweb covering, allowing him to quickly control this area.
"Zhang Hun, Wang Jing, you were the first to discover the White Lotus Sect, and you also killed hundreds of enemy households during the assault, and you have achieved great success again!"
"The merits in this assault are at the forefront, and the captain intends to promote him this time!"
"Zhang Hun, you were originally a commander under me. Now you have two choices. One is to be promoted to captain and serve as a soldier in the headquarters. The other choice is to be promoted to another level and become Dub! Take someone with you. Farm elsewhere!”
When Sha Zhen said this, his eyes turned to Wang Jing.
"Wang Jing, the same goes for you. If you become a soldier in the headquarters, you can only serve as a commander. If you become a soldier, you can be promoted to another level and become a team leader!"
It was obvious that the first of the two choices Sha Zhen had was to stay with Ran Liang and continue to serve as the core elite of the beggar army.
After all, the beggar army continues to expand. The original three to four hundred people suddenly expanded four times, and their combat effectiveness will drop a lot in a short period of time.
At this time, Ran Liang needed to select some elites to serve as the core of the Chinese army.
The second option is to leave the base camp and become a scattered field soldier. Official functions are further enhanced.
However, there is definitely a gap in strength between field soldiers and combat soldiers.
"You should think about it carefully, but I suggest you go out to work in the fields. This way you can be promoted to one more level. When the right opportunity comes in the future, I will find a way to bring you back!"
Shazhen finally whispered.
He also painstakingly planned the future whereabouts of his two men.
For others, once sent out to serve as field soldiers, it was difficult to return.
But Sha Zhen was able to serve as leader when the Beggar Army only had three to four hundred men. He was obviously the core of the army, and his connections were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Since he has made a promise, he must be certain.
"I only know how to fight, not farming at all! I'll stay with the team leader."
Zhang Hun didn't think about it at all and made a decision directly. Although he has some ability to lead troops, he has no interest in farming or controlling people and building villages and towns.
When he and Wang Jing were in Bailianzhai, they were annoyed and frowned when they followed a few military officials to deal with the finishing chores.
He just wants to be a pure soldier.
Train, lead troops, and fight every day! He has become accustomed to these simple lives over the years. Don't want to make changes.
"That's fine!"
Sha Zhen shook his head with some pity. This opportunity to advance to another level rarely appeared.
However, Zhang Hun has good abilities and few thoughts. If he is retained, he will have a good helper.
"Team leader, I am willing to go out to farm!"
When Sha Zhen turned his eyes, Wang Jing immediately spoke.
Wang Jing just had electric thoughts in his heart.
His situation is different from Zhang Hun. He will need a lot of time to convert the knowledge in his mind into skills.
You also need to practice breathing and breathing skills to quickly become stronger and improve your strength.
His talents and secrets cannot be revealed easily. If you stay in the camp by the river, there will be too many people and you will be easily noticed by others if your strength increases too quickly.
For example, if the school captain Ran Liang knew about the Evergreen Breathing Technique that he practiced, which could prolong life, the other party would inevitably have some thoughts.
When the time comes, will Wang Jing give it or not?
Yes, the leakage of Wang Jing's core inheritance will only arouse more covetousness. If not, it would be difficult for Wang Jing to find shelter in the beggar army and have a stable development time.
To avoid this situation.
The best way is to go out to farm as Sha Zhen said.
At that time, he will not only have enough time, but also slowly cultivate his own confidants outside.
Zhang Hun expressed his understanding of Wang Jing's choice.
After all, this is a rare promotion opportunity.
Sha Zhen nodded and left after the two of them made their decision. He wanted to report their decision to the Army Sima Huang Sheng who was responsible for coordinating the expansion!
