"Chao Tuan is rich and bold. In this way, the food problem will be completely solved. These refugees have survived the winter and have hope of life when spring begins."

Of course, Chao Gai did this without any purpose. While rescuing refugees, the caravans and transportation teams recruited more than 3,000 middle-aged men and women for Chao Gai's own industry. These people only had a small amount of land when they arrived in Dongping Prefecture and transformed into industrial workers.

Even the old and weak, Chao Gai had arranged a way out, and he would definitely not let them stay in Qinzhou County. What way out can the county town be? There is no land for farming, and the surrounding land belongs to the homes of the rich.

The place to settle is naturally in Jingxing and the mountainous areas of Jingxing. There are few people and many lands, and there are many wastelands that can be reclaimed.

Chao Gai had already set up three villages in Jingxing, and he settled these people only after the war.

From outsiders, Jingxing is just a barren mountain with a dangerous terrain.

But Chao Gai knew Jingxing so well. This inconspicuous mountain has a huge amount of coal mines, iron ore, limestone mines, etc.

Steel is a must-have for war. With iron ore, you can build weapons and armor.

Didn’t you, Gao Qiu, think about taking advantage of the opportunity to fight to weaken the soldiers in Dongping Prefecture, then Chao Gai took this opportunity to build an iron ore base in the Jingxing Mountains.

Five days later, Tong Guan's army arrived, with 70,000 troops and troops divided into three groups to chase Weisheng.

The eastern army led by Tong Guan all the way to Qinzhou City.

Chao Gai and Zhao Ling went out of the city to greet him.

"See the Grand Marshal, congratulations to the Grand Marshal for taking Taiyuan."

Tong Guan smiled and said, "Chao Tuanlian, Deputy General Zhao, you have worked hard. It is a great contribution to quickly interspersing and taking Qinzhou."

Chao Gai was not polite, and he must have made a contribution.

"Master General, please come to the city. We are preparing for a celebration dinner in the city."

Tong Guan, Chao Gai, and Zhao Ling entered the city.

The army was stationed outside the city, after all, there were not many people living in the small county.

The welcome banquet was organized by Chao Gai. Tong Guan was stunned when he saw the dishes on the table: "Chao Tuan was troubled by practicing, why is it all seafood?"

"Back to Dashuai, these are sent by the caravans in my farm. After they are finished, they are sealed in the jar. There are all kinds of canned foods here, such as canned prawns, canned hairtails, canned mackerels, and as for the sea cucumbers, they are soaked."

Zhao Ling smiled and pointed at a few plates of chicken: "This is what I prepared. The city has difficulty in supplies and I haven't made too good dishes."

Tong Guan was very satisfied and nodded: "Deputy General Zhao did a good job, very well. He knows how to be polite to the people and pays attention to people's livelihood."

Tong Guan invited everyone to have a meal, but he didn't drink this meal.

Back to the central army, Tong Guan made military adjustments and sent 10,000 elite troops to work with Chao Gai and Zhao Lingmen to attack Tian Biao's troops.

As for the eight thousand people in Anshirong's tribe, they escaped long before Tong Guan arrived, and Tian Biao was so angry that he was so angry.

Tong Guan personally led the army to encircle Weisheng.

This tactic was discussed by Tong Guan and the boss of the Western Army long ago, and there was no need for Chao Gai to care whether he was reasonable or not.

Immediately, ten thousand kinds of infantrymen from the family army were gathered, and rushed to the east of Shanjiazhuang to start the battle with Tian Biao.

The defense of Qinzhou County was empty, and Chao Gai arranged for Liu Tang to lead 200 soldiers and 3,000 strong men to stay.

The next morning, Chao Gai's army arrived south of Shanjiazhuang.

Shan Shiqi led 200 elite soldiers to greet them early.

"Brother, we're meeting again."

Chao Gai looked at the undesirable Shanjiazhuang that was destroyed by the war: "Brother, thank you for your hard work, it seems that Tian Biao has made a lot of attacks."

"This Tian Biao is like a mad dog. He often sneaks into sneak attacks in the middle of the night. Fortunately, there are many pits on the farm. He dug tens of thousands of pits and built fences everywhere. He would not be able to withstand it, thanks to Brother Jie Bao."

"Oh, by the way, where are brothers Jie Bao?"

"Xie Bao was worried that Tian Biao would attack Jingxing Shimen Pass, so he took people back yesterday."

Chao Gai turned his head and suggested to Zhao Ling: "Deputy General Zhao, you can fight against Tian Biao this time. I have less than 800 people. I am tired even after a fierce battle. How many days will I wait for me to rest in the village?"

Zhao Ling was very happy: "Okay, then Chao Tuanzhen will take people to rest."

Why didn't Chao Gai want to fight? Because the new 10,000 infantrymen are elite troops of the Western Army, they don't look down on Chao Gai's regiment training.

They form their own faction and each has its own affiliation.

So Chao Gai decided not to participate and only led hundreds of people from the headquarters into the village.

Shan Shiqi also saw it: "These soldiers still look down on their brother, they are really blind."

"You can't say that, these elite soldiers of the Western Army are still very powerful in combat. The soldiers in Dongping Prefecture and the townships of the town are different from their orders. It's still awkward to fight together. So come to your village to hide."

Shan Shiqi was desperate for it, so he immediately arranged a place in the hollowed-out area in the village for Chao Gai to set up camp.

Shan Shiqi didn't go home anymore and stayed in the military camp.

Pang Wanchun and Shan Shiqi have a good relationship. They start learning from each other after a few contacts.

Pang Wanchun learned some Shan Shiqi's stick technique, and Shan Shiqi learned some Pang Wanchun's archery technique. Of course, these things are not something you can learn by learning, they are nothing more than communication.

Shan Shiqi decided that after the matter settled this time, he would follow Chao Gai back to Dongping Prefecture with him.

"Brother, I found that my martial arts had reached a bottleneck, and it would be difficult to go further."

"It's not entirely true. The main reason is that there are no good players in the village to accompany you to compete. When you arrive at Dongping Mansion, there are many experts who will compete with you, and you will make great progress at that time."

"Is there any expert in Dongping Mansion who uses sticks?"

Chao Gai thought that he really had no master who used sticks: "There is no in the military camp, but there is a coach named Luan Tingyu who uses a mixed iron stick. He is very powerful. You can invite you to study at that time."

Shan Shiqi is looking forward to it very much. This is a good opportunity. There are many people who use sticks, but very few who can truly be called masters.

I was speechless all night, and the next morning I heard the drums ringing outside the village and the whimpering horns sounding.

Pang Wanchun came over to report: "Brother, Zhao Ling led his army to fight with Tian Biao."

"Yeah, go and have a look."

The group of people climbed to the wall of the village, and the scene in front of them was shocking. Both sides were in a large formation of ten thousand people.

Tian Biao's army was in the east, and there were few cavalrymen, mainly swords, shields, spears, and spears, and very few soldiers and armor.

On the contrary, the Western Army had complete spears, big swords, bows and arrows, and not many iron armor, but many leather armor.

After seeing this, Xiao Rang shook his head: "This Tian Biao is really Biao. I'm afraid that he will suffer a great loss in such a battle. The Western Army's bows and arrows are very powerful."

"Sir, how does Zhao Ling plan?"
