Chapter 1827 Settle In The Woods
Xia Rina also frowned as her gaze fell on Qin An.
There was no contact between the two sides during the day and night, and they had been rushing along.
He seems to know a lot of things.
Through the various subtle things on the road, one could determine what kind of road one should take, and not take any detours in the slightest.
The reason why Xia Rina felt that he didn't take a detour was entirely because of the confidence that Qin An occasionally showed on his face. When he had confidence, Xia Rina felt that his choice must be right. This was also influenced by his subjective consciousness.
The so-called love at first sight may start from trust, when a woman is willing to unconditionally trust a man, that is love.
Xia Rina is not a beauty, not ugly, an ordinary woman.
In this great era of the Three Kingdoms, she had been trying her best to control her own destiny. In order to be the leader, she had even forgotten how to be a woman, but after all, she still knew how to be a woman.
Once a woman has something on her mind, she will be very conflicted.
In the past, Xia Rina was the king, but now that she was a woman, she would become sensitive.
Red Lotus, who had been following Qin An every day, was not only a woman, but also a top-grade product that Xia Rina had never seen before. She was not inferior to Sun Xiaomei at all, and her style might be even stronger than hers. There was also the little girl in the team's arms, Mi Yue, who was so beautiful that she was jealous.
The skin of a woman in the South was good, so white that even a woman like her would be tempted to look at it, let alone a man.
Because of all sorts of emotions, Xia Rina would often slip away and be stunned.
"Patriarch, what are our plans?"
Tuoba Dan's freedom was not restricted. He came to Xia Rina to ask for instructions at this time. He felt that the wise patriarch would definitely not give the tribe to a man called Qin An. There must be a plan.
How could this brat know that the matriarch, who had always been an iceberg, had already begun to have a heart of her own.
"Mm … I naturally have a plan. Don't worry, don't do anything casually. I don't want to add any unnecessary damage."
"But the brothers are impetuous. We don't know why we're with that group of natives. Our food…"
"This is my decision. Do you have any questions?"
"Yes, Patriarch!"
Xia Rina's expression turned cold. Tuoba Dan was afraid and stopped talking.
Qin An naturally heard their conversation and was very satisfied with Xia Rina's performance.
He could use the armor as bait. Food was indeed a problem that needed to be solved. He hadn't brought out much supplies in the mountains, so Tang Yu's supplies should be running out. In other words, if he couldn't solve the food problem, then all of his plans would be empty!
Cao Cao's grain policy has begun to implement, now want to get a large number of grain, the best place to go is to find some big cities to snatch. The only city that was closer to this place was Jin Yang, also known as Taiyuan!
Qin An had already arranged for people to go to Taiyuan City to gather intelligence, but the few natives had not returned yet. Grain must be snatched. Right now, I don't know if I should snatch Taiyuan or other tribes from the grasslands. Regardless of who it is, it is an expedient measure. I still need to get to Heilongjiang as soon as possible to establish my own grain production area. It is really important to have a foothold.
At this moment, a portion of Qin An's scouts finally returned. They were lucky enough to find traces of Tang Yu and bring him back.
Qin An was very excited. He took Xia Rina and Red Lotus whipping his horse to greet him. Five miles away, he met Tang Yu, Pang De, and the four thousand plus soldiers they were leading.
When Pang De saw that Qin An almost cried, he jumped off his horse and half knelt on the ground. "Holy Son! I've finally seen you again!" He said in a mournful voice.
Qin An saw that his armor was crooked, and he knew that everyone's life should not be easy these days.
After jumping off the horse and encouraging Pang De to stand up, Qin An finally looked at Tang Yu.
The woman's down jacket was gone, replaced by a black armor. She was holding a golden hammer in her hand. Although she was still dignified, her face was slightly grey. Her expression was somewhat tired, and there were even a few wounds on her arm.
Seeing that Qin An was looking at her, Tang Yu's expression did not change. She said indifferently,
"There's always a pursuer behind us. We can't stay here for long." .
"So you really captured all of Cao Cao's family?"
"Mm, why else do you think they're begging me to give up?"
Xia Rina was originally standing behind Qin An with a large number of Tang Yu. Hearing her say this, she opened her mouth in fright.
Captured Cao Cao's family? This was touching the tiger's butt. No wonder Cao Wei's army had moved so frequently these days, and they often encountered it.
'"There are some people on my side. I think so. Why don't we go to camp Anza nearby now? We need to rest, we need to fuse, we need resources, we need to retreat in a few days. There's a large forest here and a big river as a barrier. It's really a good place to set up camp. We need some time to build some weapons and equipment."
Qin An was helpless. If the team did not merge and continued to advance, then there would not be any problems.
Tang Yu was extremely smart. Seeing Qin An's expression, she had already figured out his dilemma. She did not know where she had tricked a group of people. It seemed that they had not been integrated yet.
"Set up camp in this wood, When I first came here, I found a place that was probably rich in iron ore, I will send people to mine it and refine it. There should be fire belts in the forest. All kinds of traps and horses are useless. It is not easy for infantry to enter the forest. Dig trenches outside the forest and erect wooden fences as the first defensive position. Formation warfare is not popular in this era. We can lay mines outside and use bows and arrows for long-range defense. Chopping wood to build ships could be used to transport ore from the river! Since we need to adjust it, we should adjust it all at once so that it won't be annoying in the future. Therefore, this will be our first city stronghold. We will train an elite soldier here. We are not afraid of life or death. After the first battle, the rest will definitely be elite generals! "I suggest building brick yards, stone yards, simple watchtowers, watchtowers, defensive towers, etc. to form a defensive system in the forest that can rely on each other to prepare for future battles." "I suggest you build a brick yard, a stone yard, a simple enclosure, a watchtower, a guard tower, etc."
Tang Yu walked while talking, and Qin An nodded repeatedly.
Tang Yu was indeed Tang Yu. After returning, she helped Qin An sort out many things.
"Where's the food? I sent someone to Jinyang to investigate."
"Taiyuan? All we have to do is defend, It's not easy to go out and rob a city with walls, I don't think there's a need to be too impatient. This side is far away from many of Cao Cao's big cities. If they want to gather their troops and surround us, it will take some time. Of course, they will also bring food to Anzha camp outside the forest. Bing Prefecture and Taiyuan may also bring food. After all, it will not be easy for them to enter the forest. The battle will also last for a while. Therefore, we only need to arrange for two teams of people to prepare to intercept them in Taiyuan and Bingzhou Prefecture. After robbing the food, they will be transported into the forest by water. They don't have a boat, so they can only shoot arrows on the shore to intercept them. We will thicken the cabin and lengthen the boards. When they shoot arrows, they can hide it. Nets could be hung in the water on both sides of the hull. Those arrows could not be easily hung on the real wood, and they would be intercepted and accumulated by the net after falling into the water. Didn't Zhuge Liang use the strategy that the straw boat used for reference? "We also came to borrow arrows from wooden boats, but we can still transport grain. Isn't that great?"
Qin An really admired it.
It seemed that although Zhou Yu's memories had awakened in his mind, he was still Qin An. Otherwise, how could he not come up with such a good plan? As expected, Tang Yu was different.
Xia Rina narrowed her eyes slightly. She had met Tang Yu before and knew how powerful this female general was. She didn't expect that she would be so smart.
They want to stay here for a period of time, just want to let the huns, natives, slaves and their original soldiers fuse together, then qin an will have more than ten thousand people, soldiers reached eight thousand troops, with the forest this barrier can deal with tens of thousands of troops without defeat.
Wait until everyone fuses together and breaks through the water.
This river spanned dozens of meters, and large ships could pass by. Xia Rina was actually a very smart person, but she couldn't understand where to get such a big boat. If it was made, who would?
Even though the ancient people were smart, they were still far less knowledgeable. It was not easy for them to understand what they had never experienced before.
As Tang Yu walked around, she saw Xia Rina and Red Lotus.
Tang Yu was also surprised when she saw Xia Rina. She did not expect that Qin An would deceive them. This was a bit difficult. The two forces had fought before, so it was not easy to fuse them together.
Looking at the Red Lotus over there, Tang Yu raised her eyebrows. Qin An was really f*cking fated to be a woman. She went out for a walk and followed a few more women by her side!
The large group of people followed behind Tang Yu and didn't seem to have any strength.
However, after seeing Qin An, they still tried their best to straighten their backs. This was the result of the training. They still needed to have the appearance of a commander-in-chief.
Qin An sighed as he looked at the soldiers.
Ten thousand people came out. Now that he had left for a period of time, more than half of them had died. Qin An felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he was more apologetic.
Just like this, the large group of people entered the forest with Qin An, Tang Yu, and the others, meeting the rest of the natives and the huns in the forest.
Seeing so many people here, the soldiers from Hanzhong seemed to be on their own. They felt much more at ease. This period of time was really not easy.
Qin An let Pang De and wolf head together to arrange the soldiers they brought back, and then took Tang Yu, Xia Rina, Country, Zuo Ci, Fang Ziji to the meeting.
Country and ZuoCi two people also look a little haggard, they were kidnapped by Tang Yu, different from Mi Yue, Mi Yue is like lively, willing to follow Qin An.
When country heard that Qin An has also brought Liu Xie to this place, shocked dumbfounded, then shook his head with a bitter smile, said:
"The two of you are truly the only experts I've ever seen in my life. I'm afraid that Lu Fengxian is no match for you in your reincarnation. However, I, a Han citizen, was once an official under Duke Wei. I really can't live together with the two of you. If you insist on keeping me here, I'll find a job and be willing to serve Duke Wei's family. I only need to take good care of them!"
Elder Zuo Ci hurriedly said,
"My lord, I am willing to go with Feng Xiao. Playing chess every day is also fun!"
Qin An know the style of the ancients, country has served cao cao for many years, played cao cao will never be used for himself, but after arriving in heilongjiang, he wants to establish an inheritance placement side, like country left ci talent is available, so don't make things difficult for them, let them go down to accompany cao cao's family.
After they left, there were still Tang Yu, Xia Rina, and Fang Ziji, representing the three forces.
Qin An told them his plan in front of the three of them.
Fang Ziji was bitter. He was a businessman and his home was in Bing Zhou. Now, he was absolutely unwilling to let him go deep into the bitter cold of the Northeast.
Therefore, he also resigned, unwilling to participate in Qin An's affairs, willing to give those slaves to Qin An free of charge.
Qin An did not refuse and smiled at the other party's subset.
'"Ziji, you slaves, give it to me first. I can write you an IOU. When I arrive in Heilongjiang in the future, I will definitely send someone to deliver the grain to you. Our business can continue. In the future, I will buy slaves from you frequently. We will become a long-term supply and demand relationship."
Fang Ziji did not know where Qin An was talking about Heilongjiang. He did not care about this and nodded repeatedly as long as Qin An was willing to let him go at this time.
Qin An felt that leaving Fang Ziji was useless, so he asked someone to arrange an escort for him to leave the forest. He also asked someone to follow him to see where his home was. After that, he went to the grasslands to find out the distribution of the various forces in the grasslands, so as to lay the foundation for him to enter the grasslands and go to Heilongjiang in the future.
After Fang Ziji left, there were only three people left.
Tang Yu and Xia Rina did not say anything and looked at each other. Only then did Qin An realize that they were in a competition.
After coughing lightly, Qin An told Tang Yu about the encounter with the Xia Rina tribe.
Tang Yu smiled coldly and said, "So it turns out that you are a captive. You are nothing more than that."
"Hmph, a stray dog, don't say such hard words!" Xia Rina was actually tit for tat.
Qin An was a little conflicted. Why would Tang Yu fight with Xia Rina? This was not something a queen should do.
The two of them were so hostile, and Sun Xiaomei was entangled with them. Forget about integrating the army, it was troublesome to integrate the three women. Qin An felt that his future was a long one!
'"Tang Yu, Xia Rina has a good temper and is very easy to communicate with. As I said earlier, she went to fight our team because she took money from others. The two armies have fought each other since ancient times, but we don't hate each other. Since that's the case, why can't we cooperate? So don't be too lenient."
Qin An thought that Tang Yu should be an open-minded person. This kind of thing should not need to be comforted by him.
"Cooperation? I don't want to cooperate, I just want to hire! Xia Rina, I will give you a piece of armor in ten days, This armor is no ordinary armor. It is not only light but also easy to explain. It is possible for ordinary archers to use arrows to pierce through armor. I can also equip flattery with the same armor. When we arrive in Heilongjiang, I can equip you with sharp weapons and provide you with large quantities of food! But you have to understand that I only want to hire you, not cooperate. "
'"What does it have to do with you? I was found by Qin An. He told me that he wanted to cooperate. That's cooperation! If you have the armor you mentioned, Qin An will naturally not be stingy with us in the partnership! Why do you need to do this?"
Ah? Something wrong with the painting? This Xia Rina was originally her captive, but why did she feel like she was willing to talk to her on her own initiative?
Looking at Tang Yu, Tang Yu also happened to glance at Qin An.
Qin An saw the meaning behind Tang Yu's gaze and his old face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Tang Yu was clearly blaming herself for attracting bees and butterflies.
Heaven and Earth's conscience, he had been very honest recently. Although he had met many beauties, he had never thought about it.
However, women's feelings in this regard were very accurate. Could it be that Xia Rina had taken a fancy to her?
This was not surprising. The grassland people were originally strong-tempered, and they looked like small pieces of fresh meat. It was normal for them to be seen by others.
Qin An was a little smug and embarrassed.
After a quiet meeting, Qin An quickly figured it out. If Xia Rina had good intentions towards him, it would be a good thing. It would only be a matter of time before she defected and merged with the Xiongnu Tribe. If she moved out of the modern intensive training that was banned in parallel, even if the hearts of the people did not merge, at least the unity of the team would come out.
"Well, whether it's hiring or working together, Anyway, now that the teams on both sides can fuse together, I plan to let Pang De and Mi Yue lead a group of people out of the city to intercept grain. After that, Tang Yu and I will be in charge of fortifications. Xia Rina and I will be in charge of military training and Red Lotus will be in charge of weapons manufacturing. She is a Big Dipper and seems to be a natural craftsman of Sword Spirit. She should have some skill in forging. "
The memories went on in a strange atmosphere. Tang Yu still looked unwilling to pay attention to Qin An. Xia Rina suddenly became eager for Qin An and took the initiative to pay attention to Qin An. How should she fuse the two teams? Qin An was flattered, but there was a cold breeze on his back. She always felt that Tang Yu was secretly glaring at him.
At this time, soldiers came in from outside and said that a secluded town was found in the middle of the forest. It was called Jinshan and had a population of more than 400 households.
Qin An didn't care too much. He ordered people to watch them but not disturb their lives. He was just a passer-by. He wanted to kidnap the grassland tribes because their lives were difficult. It was better to fight with him as a soldier, but he didn't want to ups and downs of civilians who avoided the world.
After sending the messenger to deliver the order, they studied the details of the operation with Tang Yu and Xia Rina. After that, the meeting ended. Everyone moved and began to build a base in the forest to prepare for the battle!
This forest was really big. Trees were thick and thin. Wood resources were very abundant. During this period, there were many thick vines. These plants had long been extinct in modern times, but now they were very common.
Tang Yu didn't have the time to pay attention to Qin An's matters and called a few people to start planning.
With Jin Shan Town as the center, Tang Yu asked the Sword Servant to find Qin An to come to Zhen Ejian. After that, she personally took the Zhen Ejian and cut down almost 200 trees in front of her in ten minutes. Zhen Ejian was too sharp, cutting trees like cutting wood.
