Chapter 23: Begging Handsome Chen Wu
"Our beggar army originally had five thousand households, of which 500 were with me and were attacked by Hu people one after another, leaving only eighty households."
The beggar Chen Wu took out one of the few spirits and drank them with Zhang Hua and Chen Gong, sighing.
Zhang Hua was secretly surprised.
The beggars led by Chen Wu had only eighty households left in 500 households, equivalent to six people, and only one survived.
This is still an elite refugee led by military generals.
Ordinary refugees, one out of ten remains.
"From now on, you will stay in Xia Village, among which the young and strong guard the village."
Zhang Hua fell in love with the powerful men of the beggar army.
The beggar army was divided into strong men and family members.
A strong man is equivalent to a soldier, and he is even more elite than ordinary soldiers.
"Since we settled here, we will naturally serve the village. The chaotic and dark times here are no worse than those in the chaotic times at the end of the Jin Dynasty. It is rare to have a paradise. This is the blessing of our begging for everyone to live. Come on, let's have another bowl!"
Chen Wu drank a big mouthful of pain.
Spirits are a rare luxury in Xia Village, because there is no excess grain to be used to make wine.
All the grain in Xia Village is distributed to the village.
The spirits brought by Chen Wu were from the late Jin Dynasty.
In addition to Chen Wu, Chen Wu also had two commanders of the beggar army, Feng Long, Li Tou, and Zhang Hua, Liao Hua and others, and took out all the spirits they carried, and stopped after getting drunk.
For the beggars, if you have wine today and get drunk today, you can live as long as you can.
This group of iron-blooded men joined Xia Village, and Xia Village was stronger and its population increased to 1,200.
According to Chen Wu, Feng Long and Litou's leaders, they were fighting against the Jie people leader Shi Le at that time. They were defeated by Shi Le's army and were dispersed by Shi Le's cavalry, and they ended up traveling to this world.
As a result, this world is even more chaotic than the Five Barbarians Invading China.
"On the plain outside the valley, we encountered hundreds of cavalrymen, who used heavy arrows and excellent riding skills, killing nearly a hundred of us."
Chen Wu mentioned the forces outside the valley.
Zhang Hua's eyes sterned.
The scope of Zhang Hua's current exploration is only a small part of this valley.
This valley stretches for hundreds of miles, can reach more than ten miles in width, and has an area of about hundreds to thousands of square kilometers.
Zhang Hua didn't dabble in the plains east of the valley.
Chen Wu, the begging army, fled from the plains into the valley, bringing some information outside the valley.
Among them, the cavalry that severely damaged the Qihuo Army attracted Zhang Hua's attention.
"This is the horse bow we seized from the other party."
"Qing Gong? Eight Banners?"
Zhang Hua recognized the horse bow obtained by Chen Wu.
The standard of Qing bow is slightly different from other bows and arrows.
"Is it the Eight Banners Cavalry that was repelled by Liao Hua? No, the Eight Banners Cavalry that was defeated at that time had less than a hundred. It means that there was another Eight Banners Cavalry on the plain outside the valley."
"This Eight Banners Cavalry wants to force the beggar army to surrender, which means they need population. Only when a territory is established can a large number of people be needed for construction. In nine out of ten, there are villages established by the Eight Banners generals on the plains."
"A village that can afford hundreds of cavalry will not be much smaller."
Zhang Hua speculated and his face gradually became solemn.
"Business, what do you think?"
"A sentry can be set up at the entrance of the valley, and one or two people will always be stationed. If there is any disturbance, we can learn about it as soon as possible."
"The plain outside the valley facilitates the movement of a large number of cavalry and has no danger to defend. Before our strength increases, it is useless to fight for it. It is better to be at ease to cultivate thousands of hectares of fertile land in the valley, accumulate grain, and be king slowly, wait until the soldiers are full of food, and then leave the valley."
Chen Gong analyzed the situation and believed that he should farm in the valley first.
The valley has a vast area. Xia Village, Song Village, and the six-level iron ore, horse farm and valley entrance controlled by Xia Village account for about one-fifth of the valley.
This has not yet been counted as villages and refugees in the northern and southern mountains, as well as refugees who have been fleeing into the valley to take refuge.
Mulan and Chen Wu are refugees who came from outside the valley.
"It is necessary to fully explore the entire valley."
Zhang Hua arranged several cavalry to continue to explore everywhere, and this time the goal was the entire valley.
According to Zhang Hua and Chen Gong's speculation, there are no less than 20 villages in the entire valley.
Zhang Hua talked with Chen Gong, Chen Wu, Liao Hua and others until late at night, and lost consciousness in a daze.
When he woke up the next day, Zhang Hua's head stinged, and he vaguely remembered that it was Mulan who put herself on the bed.
The wooden door was pushed open, and Mulan came in with a copper basin, and the hot water inside was still breathing white.
"Young Master woke up?"
Mulan handed the hot towel to Zhang Hua.
"Thank you Mulan for your hard work."
Zhang Hua took the hot towel and wiped the sweat from his body.
"Young Master should take care of your health."
Mulan stood by silently, waiting for Zhang Hua to finish.
After Zhang Hua recovered, he came to the stone tablet of the administrative wooden house and saw three leaders of Chen Wu, Feng Long and Li Tou who were living in Xia Village.
【Hero】: Chen Wu
【Level】: 31
[Commander]: 69 [Military power]: 80 [Intellect]: 55 [Politics]: 32
【Health volume】: 215
【Attack】: 31~42
【Defense】: 8
【Agility】: 7
【Military Strength】: Beggars (70/70)
[Awakening Talent]: Live toward death (the lower the blood volume, the more serious the injury is. Chen Wu can burn internal energy, make the blood boil and gain higher combat power)
[Article]: At the end of Yongjia, Chen Liuqian, and once fought with Shi Le at Pengguan.
Chen Wu has 80 military strength, while Feng Long and Li Tou are slightly inferior. As Chen Wu's subordinates, their strength is 68 and 70 respectively.
As refugees, the Quaihuo Army turned out to be a sixth-level army.
Qihuo Army, sixth-level troops, health 100, attack 9, defense 1, agility 5, salary: 2 taels, military talent: live to death, source of soldiers: refugees (or descendants of Qihuo Army), Ding and other talents, pre-building: Qihuo Army Fort (level six-level military building).
Chen Wu brought the eighty households in Xia Village, only 70 of which were considered real soldiers of the Qihuo Army, and the rest were the families of the Qihuo Army.
The reason why there are more households than those of the Beggar Army soldiers is that some male household registrations have died in battle, leaving only women and children.
Chen Wu's Qihuo Army became the most powerful force in Xia Village.
As a sixth-level army, the salary required by the Qihuo Army is only higher than that of the light infantry.
However, the beggars also have shortcomings.
Before the sixth-level military building of the Qihuo Junwu Fort was built, it was impossible to replenish it, so one was used to reduce one.
Xia Village has three forces: one is Liao Hua's light infantry, the second is Hua Mulan's light cavalry, and the third is Chen Wu's Qihuo Army.
Zhang Hua has kindness to the three of them and can check and balance each other.
Chen Wu and 70 Qihuo soldiers joined, so that Zhang Hua would not have to rush to expand his troops. At present, Xia Village has enough troops.
