After working like this outside the city for a year, they only have a few hundred copper coins. Compared with the people in the city, how can they compare?

It's fine if you didn't know it before, but now that you know it, it's natural that there is an extra thought in your heart, and you also think about being able to enter the city and live a good life.

For the sake of their children, the old ones want to be able to go in, while the young ones also want to be able to go in, so that their fathers can live a good life.

So, someone went to inquire about how to be qualified to enter Xinghan City.

It's just that the guards didn't know about this, and Lu Chensheng didn't tell them. He only said to let them cultivate the land with peace of mind, and they would have the opportunity to enter the city after they cultivated for a year and repaid the food and drink for this year.

It sounds perfunctory, but all the victims feel that this should be the truth.

There are so many people here, eating and drinking so much in a year, it should be repaid one or two.

What's more, if the harvest is not good at that time, their harvest may not even be enough to pay back.

The miserable situation of the people outside the city gave the people in the city a little sense of superiority and a little bit of luck.

If they hadn't come here at the beginning, they would be no different from the people outside the city at this moment.

Now that I can live so well, it can be said that it is all thanks to Lu Chensheng, and when I think of this in my heart, I am very grateful to Lu Chensheng.

On the city wall, Lu Chensheng looked at the houses passing by below, and the fields that were constantly being reclaimed in the distance.

"How many people came here, have you counted them?"

"The number of people who returned to the shopkeeper is still being counted, and the count has not been completed yet, but the number of people who have been counted is more than 6."

Already more than 6?

When Lu Chensheng heard this, he was secretly surprised, there were really many victims.

"Continue to count, and keep a close eye on everything else. Some hygiene needs to be paid attention to, lest any disease emerge."

There were too many people, and victims of disasters continued to come over. I was afraid that these people would get sick, so Lu Chensheng was more concerned about this.

"Yes!"

The guard at the side heard the words and immediately agreed.

The guards took the order to go down, Lu Chensheng glanced at the crowd below, turned around and was about to walk down the city wall, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a group of dark things approaching in the distance.

Lu Chensheng was shocked when he saw this, and quickly picked up the binoculars.

Could it be someone from the Tartars?It would be bad if it was a Tartar.

With so many people outside the city, if the Tartars came, things would get worse.

Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng felt a little urgent in his heart, and secretly felt that he had made a mistake.

After Lu Chensheng picked up the binoculars and took a closer look, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In the distance was a herd of cattle and sheep, and it was my own people who drove these cattle and sheep.

"Some of the soldiers who went out have come back. Let someone go to meet them and separate the people on the side of the road to avoid accidents."

Lu Chensheng quickly spoke to the soldiers beside him.

"In addition, we are sending some people out to monitor. Although some soldiers have gone to the grasslands, we still need to guard against the Tartars going south."

Originally, according to what Lu Chensheng thought, the soldiers he sent out could already turn the opponent upside down.

But no one knew what was going on on the other side. It would be bad if some Tartars still went south. After all, there were so many people outside.

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately sent someone to serve as a sentry.

"What does Mr. Lu mean by sending troops out?"

Yuqing on the side looked at Lu Chensheng strangely, she hadn't left yet.

Staying here also wanted to take a look at how Lu Chensheng received these disaster victims. In addition, he was quite curious about this place, so he stayed a little longer.

After these days, Yuqing is quite satisfied with seeing the people outside the city settled properly.

In addition, I also agree with Lu Chensheng's follow-up arrangements.

Hearing Lu Chensheng talking about sending troops to the expedition at this moment, he felt a little strange.

Could it be that Lu Chensheng is ready to fight Jiang Guo?But I didn't hear any news before, and there was no atmosphere of war in the city.

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng turned his head and glanced at Yu Qing who was beside him, but he didn't care much.

"Yeah, I sent some soldiers to the grassland, and they have brought back a lot of cattle and sheep. It must be because they won the first battle."

Not long after Lu Chensheng finished speaking, the cattle and sheep in the distance also slowly came to the city wall and were brought into the city.

The victims on the side were stunned at this moment, they had never seen so many cattle and sheep before.

Chapter 479 The Enemy's Opportunity

They have never seen so many cattle and sheep, they have lived for so long.

Looking at the leaders now, it seems that these cattle and sheep are all from Xing Seoul.

This star Seoul is too rich, right?Actually bought so many cattle and sheep?

They didn't realize it at this moment, and thought that these cattle and sheep were all bought by Lu Chensheng.

"So many cattle and sheep are enough for me to eat for a lifetime!"

"One lifetime? I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it in two lifetimes!"

Seeing the mighty cattle and sheep being driven into the city one by one, the people beside them who hadn't eaten meat for a long time swallowed their saliva with difficulty at this moment.

The eyes are also full of longing.

At this moment, I also pondered in my heart, if I could also get a few of the cattle and sheep, how great would it be?

But such thoughts, they just think about it in their hearts, and they don't dare to have too many extravagant demands in their hearts.

However, after seeing so many cattle and sheep, they suddenly had a little more trust in the words of those people before them.

Those people in the city, when chatting with them, said that after a day in the city, they would always have meat.

Some people simply don't believe such words. Basically, there is meat every day. Where did the meat come from!

It seemed impossible no matter how they looked at it, but at this moment, after seeing the cattle and sheep in front of them, and they hadn't seen the tail until now, they suddenly felt that what the other party said might be true.

Xing Han City has the ability to bring back so many cattle and sheep, so it means that if the city is willing to slaughter these cattle and sheep, then there is indeed enough supply.

Thinking of this, they suddenly felt a little sour.

In fact, they had heard of the name of Xing Seoul a long time ago, but due to various reasons, adding Xing Seoul is also far away.

So not many people want to come here.

Now that I have come here, I just feel that I am a bit too late.

If they had come earlier, they wouldn't have stayed outside.

I heard from people in the city that there are some rules that need to be followed when entering. It seems that there are many small rules, but they don't care.

As long as you can go in, so what if you follow some rules?

Moreover, after listening to some of the rules said by the other party, some people became more and more envious in their hearts.

Because of the rules in the city, the punishment for theft and trouble is especially severe.

According to the words of the county magistrate in the city, there is no reason for the law-abiding people to endure such people and let these people endanger these people.

Therefore, some punishments are particularly serious.

But such punishment also brought a sense of security to many honest people.

At least in it, they don't have to worry about being oppressed, they can live happily and safely in it.

On the city wall, Yuqing stared at the long line below, her eyes widened.

If he didn't believe it at first, Lu Chensheng said that he sent soldiers to the grassland.

At this moment, she could only believe that so many cattle and sheep could only be raised by those on the grassland.

And there are war horses in it, which is basically certain.

She is the princess in the palace, and she also knows a piece of news.

That is, the people on the grassland have banned the sale of war horses to Xinghan City, not even one horse.

Now I saw a war horse here, obviously this war horse came from a wrong path.

"Mr. Lu is too courageous. He actually sent soldiers to the grassland. This grassland is the territory of the Tartars. Isn't Mr. Lu afraid that his soldiers will be trapped in it?"

Although this remark was a bit harsh, in fact, what she said was correct.

The ethnic groups on the grassland can basically be said to be all soldiers, and they can fight as soon as they can mount a horse.

Lu Chensheng's soldiers definitely didn't have that many soldiers, and if a lone army goes deep and is discovered by the opponent, it is absolutely impossible to escape death.

She felt that Lu Chensheng's approach was too risky.

"Why can't we go? The Tartars go south to plunder every year. They always rob a village and run away immediately. Let's learn from each other, and run away after robbing. When the other party's army is assembled, they will run back. That's fine. .”

Lu Chensheng smiled, without much concern on his face.

Seeing these cattle and sheep, Lu Chensheng knew that the army was fine for the time being, and he was slightly relieved.

While the two were chatting, a cavalryman hurried up to the city wall.

Lu Chensheng ordered someone to build a winding road so that the cavalry could ride directly to the city wall.

Before seeing Lu Chensheng, the cavalry got off their horses early, and trotted to Lu Chensheng.

"Shopkeeper, this is General Chengxue's battle report, please have a look."

The cavalry knelt down alone and sent the battle report with both hands.

Lu Chensheng took it and signaled him to get up, then opened it and examined it carefully.

After a while, Lu Chensheng finished watching, his face relaxed.

According to what Cheng Xue and Bai Yi planned, the other party has already started to attack.

She hasn't done anything with the outermost tribes yet, but chose to be a little closer to the tribes inside, planning to clean up the tribes outside by the way when she leaves.

Chengxue's attack speed is very fast, depending on the situation, he should be able to capture more tribes and bring back some livestock.

"Well, you did a good job. Go down and rest first. The soldiers who came back will have a three-day vacation. When the big troops come back, I will give you rewards."

Lu Chensheng put away the battle report, ready to take it back to show Bai Yi a look.

Bai Yi was actually a little worried about these soldiers, but he didn't show it on the surface.

Hearing this, the soldiers saluted respectfully and led the horses down.

Thinking about taking the battle report back to Bai Yi to see, Lu Chensheng didn't accompany Yuqing much, and went home directly.

After Lu Chensheng handed the battle report to Bai Yi, Bai Yi immediately took out the map, and estimated Chengxue's location.

"According to the time, if it goes well, Chengxue should have taken down the two tribes. According to the strength of the horse's feet, the opponent should be able to react in a few days. At that time, Chengxue will be ready to leave."

Bai Yi glanced at the map, feeling a little more at ease in her heart.

"If there is no one left who was strangled, if you are lucky, you can buy a few more days."

In the tribe, not everyone is there all the time. Even if they are all silenced, people from other tribes come one day, or people who go out come back, and they will find that something is wrong.

So if you do the math, Cheng Xue and the others probably still have a little time.

Even if the news got out, it would not be easy for the other party to quickly destroy Chengxue. They had to find Chengxue first.

Chengxue has a telescope in her hand, she can predict the enemy's opportunity, as long as it is arranged properly, she can be unscathed.

4 Chapter Eighty

After glancing at the battle report, Bai Yi summed it up and felt a little more at ease.

"If there is a radio station, you can contact Chengxue and the others."

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng just said with emotion.

Only at this time did Lu Chensheng feel more and more how important it is to have such an instant messaging tool.

And on a battlefield, if you can always contact your troops, this tool will be even more important.

It's just that there is no way to get this thing out in a short time.
