The coffin containing the stitched corpse was quickly transported back to Pingmuguan, and along with it was a carefully chosen report document. It didn't say much, but it made Yin Jianyuan frown deeply.
Chen Tian treated each other with courtesy and returned the body?
Is your attitude extremely humble?
Not to mention Yin Jianyuan, even Yin Chou, who was always known for his resourcefulness, was full of doubts and could not figure out the deep meaning of Chen Tian's move for a while.
You must know that Yongtai City was the first city in the world to be attacked by gryphons on a large scale. The casualties were extremely heavy. Just when the Chang River burst its banks, more than 30,000 people were drowned.
Coupled with various secondary disasters after the bombing, the number of civilians dropped sharply from 800,000 to 600,000, leaving people in mourning everywhere.
What's more, Xianyin Pavilion boy Ruoran, who was unknown to Chen Tian, also fainted during the air raid and almost died.
Chen Tian actually endured all these things and finally sent the culprit's body back as a gift?
Yin Jianyuan and Yin Chou looked at each other, and when they looked at each other, they both saw a look of surprise on the other's face.
After more than half of the incense was burned, Yin Chou finally tried to say: "The current war situation is extremely unfavorable to Chen Tian. What he did this time is probably to show weakness to his headquarters in order to ease the war."
"It's very possible." Yin Jianyuan nodded.
Integrity on the battlefield, this thing does exist in the world, but he feels that this kind of thing that can easily be spread as a good story is only effective when the strength is equal.
Na Chentian's move is undoubtedly sending a signal of relaxation to the headquarters. After all, the current war situation has entered a confrontation stage, so it might as well be superficial in publicity.
"Is the spy you arrested last time still there?"
"Reporting back to the coach, most of them are still alive."
Since Yin Jianyuan took control of Pingmuguan and Gusu City, he not only engaged in military warfare, but also other means.
The first ones to bear the responsibility were the intelligence officers. According to the Governor's Office's comprehensive investigation, many members of the Ghost Lantern Organization were arrested.
Although these people couldn't pry out anything useful with their tough words, most of them couldn't withstand the torture of taking turns in battle, and they were all killed or injured.
Of course, halfway through the arrest, the scope expanded because Yin Jianyuan intended to embezzle the property of the Lin family's Quicksand Chamber of Commerce.
As long as the aristocratic families in Gusu City have a slight problem, they will be labeled as collaborators. While it is effective, it will eventually involve many ordinary people, making the whole city panic.
"Kill all the seriously injured people, and hand over all the messy people to Chen Tian. Doesn't he like to take in civilians? All the farmers around Makino are given to him." Yin Jianyuan looked down at Yin Jiancheng lying in the coffin, his heart was blocked, and he was full of emotions. His face showed murderous intent.
Yin Chou was startled after hearing this.
It turns out that the coach planned to return a courtesy.
Although Yin Jianyuan's words were very general, Yin Chou understood the deeper meaning. There were many farmers living near the Makino tidal flats. If they stayed in the same place, they would probably provide supplies for Chen Tian's troops.
Now that his family's wealth is being plundered and the extra people are sent to Chentian, he can in turn consume his little food and grass.
At the same time, this can also reflect the importance that the headquarters attaches to Yin Jiancheng. After all, nine thousand farmers are exchanged on an equal basis, and Yin Jianyuan can be explained internally by the Yin family in Cangxi.
Yin Chou fully understood the connotation, bowed and retreated, and quickly issued the order, which once again aroused public dissatisfaction.
at the same time.
Chentian was inspecting the construction site on the Makino tidal flat. The construction work of the fort was very fast. It looked different every day. In just half a month, a towering fortress had been erected on the waterside.
The square shape is very straight, and a straight watchtower is erected in the center to provide a distant view.
The large hole left by the soil extraction was reused, and water was introduced to form a moat. Finally, a dock was built on the waterside. Troop transport ships did not need to change trains and could sail into the dock for supplies.
Rows upon rows of buildings, as well as layers of roofs, together form Makino's tight defense system, making it impossible to see the previous wild appearance of overgrown vegetation.
Chen Tian stood on the terrace and looked down at the walled city filled with smoke. He had to sigh that ordinary people were the best at creating miracles. Even if the Emperor of Heaven came, it would be difficult to build a fortress covering twenty or thirty miles with just one hand, right?
Chen Tian took a walk around and found that a vegetable garden had opened near the barracks. Water spinach is also commonly known as water spinach. It grows extremely lush and green, which is very pleasing to the eye.
According to the farmer, the soil of Makino tidal flat is very fertile and is a rare black soil. Compared with the same acre of wheat field in Huangdancheng, the yield can be increased by at least 20%.
If the jade dew liquid from Hekunmen is carefully irrigated, the yield of a thousand pounds per mu will not be a problem. Without relying on logistical supplies, we can easily feed the 90,000 people of Xianyue Valley and more than 10,000 soldiers.
Chen Tian didn't care much about this, because he had no shortage of food and grass at all. When he had just received more than a hundred plant and flower fairies, the earth's energy was greatly nourished, and the output of summer food last season was extremely amazing.
Even at Lian Zixin's suggestion, Chen Tian ordered four or five granaries to be built in the cave, exceeding tens of thousands of stones.
Even if the granary outside is blown to pieces by the Griffin Army and destroyed by floods, Yongtai City can still survive until the next year.
What's more, Li Jie of the Chuanshan sect also sent news that something was wrong with the ancestral graves of the Lin Ye family as they dug more and more.
The Ye family is fine, but they have a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. After all, the Ye family has been officials in Gusu City for generations and has made a lot of money.
But things are very different for the Lin family. The ancestral graves are full of grain, and there are mountains of salt and iron that even a thousand green oxen cannot carry.
Therefore, while Chen Tian was giving generous benefits to the people under his command based on this, he was also very confused about what the Lin family was trying to do.
In the end, he and Pang Xingyun thought about it and realized that the so-called ancestral graves of the Lin family were actually the secret treasury stored by Liusha Chamber of Commerce. After all, no one could have imagined that the Lin family would hide a large amount of wealth here despite the reputation of being disrespectful to their ancestors.
As for why they did not choose to store gold and silver, both of them believed that in troubled times, food and salt were more valuable.
In short.
Li Jie, who secretly mined the spirit stone veins, made a great achievement and unexpectedly found the Lin family's last trump card.
Now, let alone letting Chen Tian occupy Muye Wubao and guard Xieyue Valley for three months, he would still be full of confidence even for three years.
"What an unexpected surprise, it came so suddenly." Chen Tian smiled, walked around the corner of the eaves and walked towards the west wing barracks.
Just after he stepped through the gate, he saw stables lined up for thousands of feet, with an endless stream of peasants feeding horses. Wei An was pacing among them, grinning from ear to ear.
"See the God!"
"Okay, let's see how promising you are." Chen Tian patted his shoulder jokingly, "Why don't you just seize three thousand livestock? Are you so happy?"
"These are not ordinary animals, they are brothers who go through fire and water." Wei An grinned heartily.
When Chen Tian just arrived at the front line, he happened to encounter General Yin Fei and his cavalry stationed on the cliff. The Nanxiang Army and the Yongtai Army encircled the army for less than ten days. Yin Fei finally jumped off the cliff with Wang Xiuge, the young master of Linjiang City.
Of course, the remaining horses were accepted by Chen Tian unceremoniously, and Guard An of Shi Ziying was the commander of the cavalry, so of course he was full of joy.
In addition, a large number of war horses were recently purchased from the Yanshan Snowfield, and three thousand good horses were finally selected. The heavy cavalry belonging to Yongtai City finally got a good look at it.
Talking about war horses.
This is really Yongtai City’s flaw.
After all, Yongtai City has only been established for less than half a year, and its foundation is ultimately not as good as that of major cities that have been in business for thousands of years. There are very few good horses and war horses.

No matter how talented Qu Sijian is, he still has to wait for the horse's pregnancy period, which is once a year. In addition, it will take at least two years before the horse is officially born.
"If the Beicaoxi caravan hadn't been attacked when passing through Qiaoyang Pass, we would have brought back two thousand more horses. What a pity." Wei An sighed sadly, wishing he could tear the thieves into pieces. Chentian was beaten by him

The distressed look amused him, and he smiled and said: "Just be content. The battle between the Quantai of the headquarters and the Yin clan governor's hall in the northern region was surging at the Yanyang Pass. It was not easy for Li Chengfeng to find time to escort the caravan. How could there be nothing wrong?
