The garrison camp was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop, and the sound of dripping was infinitely amplified, as if a knife was piercing everyone's heart.

Yuan Jin clasped his hands behind his back and walked slowly inside. His eyes flashed when he saw this, and he said with a smile, "It seems that my nephew came at the wrong time?"

"You are..." Liang Shoubei looked at the beautiful girl falling from the sky and struggled to smile, "I have been guarding the border for many years and have not been back to Beijing for a long time. I wonder which family's daughter you are?"

"It's okay if you don't remember." Yuan Jin walked to him, looked around, and sat down on the seat below him. "My nephew is not here to reminisce today, but to discuss cooperation with Uncle Liang."

He didn't lie.

The original person has never seen him again since he was seven years old, so it is normal for him not to recognize him.

"What... what kind of cooperation?" Liang Shoubei secretly exercised his skills and found that his internal strength was completely motionless. Cold sweat broke out layer by layer, quietly wetting his back.

The military advisor and Mr. Qian came back from the village and said that they met a female Shura who knew how to use poison and brought down hundreds of people within an hour. To be honest, he did not believe that there could be such a strange woman in the world, and his intuition was that they were just looking at the robbery.

I was jealous of the money that came and wanted to keep it for myself.

Now that he has seen the power of the other party with his own eyes, he really regrets it.

I just hope that this aunt is not a spy sent by Jin State.

When she entered the garrison, it was as if she was in a deserted place. None of the soldiers outside were awake.

"I'll talk to you alone." Yuan Jin took out a porcelain bottle, took out the 'antidote' and dissolved it in the water. He stood up and brought it to the military advisor. "You can move after drinking it, and then take him to the next door."

The military advisor gritted his teeth and drank the antidote.

This person didn't follow the rules of cooperation at all. He just told them to wait for news, and in the blink of an eye he came to the garrison camp.

There were three thousand people stationed in the garrison, but no one could move, and no one knew how much medicine she had used.

"It does take a lot of medicine. It took me two days to get enough medicine to knock everyone down." Yuan Jin saw his doubts and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, they can't move for the time being."

She bought half of the mandrakes from Xingcheng Herbal Medicine Store to get enough. They didn't take her seriously, and they didn't expect to follow suit, and the people they sent out were all just show-offs.

Staying in this bitter cold place, food, grass and military pay never came, and it's not to blame for their negative attitude.

How can it be so cheap to want a horse to run but not eat grass?

Yuan Jin and other military advisers moved everyone out, took out the written plan and told Liang Shoubei, "I want the command of the garrison camp, the management of Xingcheng, and I will take care of the food, grass and military pay."

"The magistrate of Xingcheng belongs to King Qi, and I only cooperate with him in terms of interests." Liang Shoubei swallowed, "Girl, you are too courageous."

She asked him to give up his guard position and become the prefect. Did she know what she was doing?

Judging from her appearance, she is probably around the age of a hairpin.

"The brave ones will be starved to death and the timid ones will starve to death." Yuan Jin opened the plan and asked him to read the contents clearly. "The purpose of marching to fight is to let the family live well in the rear, and to protect the people from the war.

You are suffering. Now that you have no food, grass and military pay, you rely on looting and gold to support yourself. How long can you last?"

Liang Shoubei's chest froze and he was speechless.

The Jin State army has been making frequent moves recently, and battle reports are coming from the direction of Lengguguan Pass every few days. Once the Jin State army gathers, Linggugu Pass and Xingcheng cannot be defended, and all ten cities in Mobei will be lost.

"Don't be too sentimental, just read the plan." Yuan Jin reminded him and continued to scroll down after he finished reading.

Lenggugu Pass and Xingcheng are the first passes between Jin State and Dasheng. If Lenggugu Pass is defended, it can last for up to ten days. If it cannot be defended, all the northern land will be lost, and the Jin State army will have to enter Dasheng.

It's like entering your own vegetable garden.

This place must be defended.

She has ways to get money and food, as long as he obeys her orders and cooperates with her.

After reading the more than ten pages of the plan, Liang Shoubei looked at her as if she had seen a ghost, "Can those squires, landlords, and wealthy households listen to you?"

She wants to take all the land into the hands of the government and then distribute it to the people for farming and the government will collect rent? Not to mention whether the landowners in the city will agree or not, if the news is spread back to Beijing, no one will survive.

"They will agree." Yuan Jin blinked and said with a smile, "As long as the news doesn't get out of Xingcheng, as a guard in Xingcheng, I don't believe you don't know who has planted spies here. You just need to listen

I give orders, you don’t have to worry about how to raise food, fodder and military pay.”

"How can I trust you?" Liang Shoubei was a little moved.

Winter is about to come, and the soldiers don't even have decent winter clothes. They don't know how to survive this winter.

If Jin State starts fighting at this time, they have no chance of winning.

"I don't believe you either." Yuan Jin raised his eyebrows, poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle, pinched his mouth and forced him to swallow it, "After taking this medicine until today next month, you will have abdominal pain like cramps.

If you don't take the antidote in time, you will die suddenly. In addition, I also have a copy of the ledger of your robbery and murder of caravans in Xingcheng, and your collusion with the prefect to rob wealthy merchants in the city."

After that, she took out the account book, looked at it at him, and took it back slowly.

The poison was fake, but it was made from some bitter herbs and made into pills to deceive him. With the ledger and the poison, both of them worked together to create mental stimulation, and he would succumb.

As long as he doesn't arrest me and gives him more people, taking back the land will be a piece of cake.

The people here have not received materialistic education, and they believe in what is taught by destiny. Unfortunately, she has been a ghost longer than she has been a human being.

"What are you going to do?" Liang Shoubei saw the account book and gave up his struggle completely.

Sending these account books back to Shangjing would be a serious crime against the Nine Tribes.

"Pick twenty young and skilled soldiers to me, keep an eye on the spies that the princes have planted here, and prevent the news of Xingcheng from being sent back to Shangjing. Even if it is sent back, it will have to go through my review." Yuan Jin surrendered.

, his tone became much more relaxed, "I have made a copy of these account books. If you don't cooperate well, I will send them back to Beijing at any time."

"I promise you." Liang Shoubei gritted his teeth and said, "After one month, I will also see your sincerity."

"Deal." Yuan Jin put away the plan and took away his military talisman. "After selecting the people, let them go directly to the village tomorrow. Then arrange for 500 people to go out of the city to secretly measure the wasteland that has not yet been reclaimed, and determine how much each family occupies.

Give me the amount, see you later."

After that, she threw him a licorice pill and walked out in a big way.

They cannot move, one is mental stimulation, and the other is the effect of Mafei powder.

If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave until they react.

The antidote is purely psychological.

…

Liang Shoubei was in a daze for a long time, then he pushed himself up and walked out of the tent.

The soldiers had all recovered, and there were no casualties, even if they were frightened. He was also frightened. If this was a spy from the Jin Kingdom, he could not imagine what the consequences would be if he attacked Lenggu Pass from both sides during the war.

"Old Chen and I didn't lie." The military advisor looked pale, "This female Shura is really ruthless."

How on earth did she knock down the garrison of three thousand people in one meal?

"Come here, let me tell you something." Liang Shoubei thought of Yuan Jin's appearance and frowned deeply, "It's a very important matter, and I have promised to cooperate with her."

The military advisor opened his mouth and followed him into the camp.

Liang Shoubei recounted the contents of the plan from memory and looked up at the military advisor, "She wants twenty young soldiers and five hundred people to go out of the city to secretly measure the wasteland. How certain do you think you can be about this?"

No matter how far Xingcheng is from Shangjing, there is still no shortage of rich households and families with big families. She wants money and land without killing people. How is this possible?

Which of these families doesn't have many guards?

The guards seemed useless... His garrison couldn't even guard her.

"I think it's... 80%?" the military advisor lowered his voice, "Winter is about to begin. If she can really raise food and grass, there's no harm in listening to her orders. The defense recognized by the imperial court is still your lord."

Liang Shoubei pondered for a moment and then said, "Don't tell General Zhao about this in advance. If we can raise food and grass, we will send it over."

This girl is really capable of getting things done, so there's no shame in doing it for her.

It would be a shame to watch the soldiers freeze to death and starve to death.

"That's what I plan to do." There was a glimmer of unknown meaning in the military advisor's eyes.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the female Shura had a big plan.

…

Yuan Jin did not leave the city immediately after leaving the garrison.

After meeting Lian Xin, the two of them changed their clothes and returned to the Xiansan Inn to take stock of the goods they needed to bring back to the counterfeit store.

Xingcheng garrison camp has two vanguard camps with one thousand people each outside the city, three thousand people inside the city, and 80,000 troops stationed at Lenggu Pass. Part of the required grain and grass are collected and allocated by the imperial court from the ten cities in Mobei, and part of it is transported from outside the north.

Military pay and food were withheld for two years, and the emperor knew nothing about it. This shows how frantic the princes were for the sake of being crown princes.

The common people are nothing but ants in their eyes.

"Miss, aren't you going out of town tonight?" Lian Xin put away all the documents and looked at her, "I'm afraid."

The garrison camp will not let them go.

"Don't be in a hurry to go back, stay for two more days." Yuan Jin picked up the oil lamp and yawned tiredly, "Don't worry, they can't find it here."

Lian Xin nodded hesitantly.

Yuan Jin smiled, blew out the oil lamp, put on his clothes and lay down.

Xingcheng is the backyard of Langgu Pass and the last line of defense of Dasheng. There are few wealthy households and landowners who settle here. Most of the land is wasteland managed by government agencies and is the private property of kings and princes in the court.

After allocating the land to the people, what was left was left to the soldiers to cultivate.

Plant the land to prepare food and grass when you are free, defend the city when you are busy, and be self-sufficient. The speed of information transmission in this world is slow, and it is not difficult to block the news of a city or place without leaving the boundary.
