The spies knelt on the ground and cried: "First Commander! You must avenge the Second Commander!"

Heijiu paced back and forth, his eyebrows furrowed.

Able to wipe out Shaohu's one hundred spies in a very short period of time.

They must have bumped into Chu's regular army!

Maybe he is still an elite member of the Chu army!

Moreover, it was probably the Chu people who had laid the trap early with their overwhelming superior strength - otherwise, how could anyone not have come back alive?

It should be noted that the Shaohu bandits have been entrenched near Quyang for many years and know every path in the mountains well.

In the past, the Chu people also tried to encircle and suppress the Shaohu bandits using various cunning tactics, but every time the Shaohu bandits were able to escape unscathed with the help of their understanding of the terrain.

Besides, Shaohu can be regarded as a first-class brave and resourceful general. How could he not leave himself a way to escape?

Could it be that the Chu State is going to send out heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Shaohu bandits again?

Thinking of this, Heijiu couldn't help but sneered secretly: With the size of Shaohu Lake, the Chu State's siege and suppression was a joke!

Encirclement and suppression campaigns like this have never happened before.

However, if you want to search for the Shaohu bandits in the vast reed swamps, you can't do it without an army of 100,000!

It's impossible to dispatch such a large army just for the sake of the thousands of remnants of your defeated army, right?

Unless King Chu is crazy!

Heijiu suddenly stopped and frowned: "Have you ever seen the bodies of Shaohu and others?"

All the thieves who reported the news said in unison: "Report to the commander-in-chief, there is no body, there are only blood stains on the ground!"

Heijiu frowned and became worried.

It would be better if all those hundred people in Shaohu died.

If there is anyone alive, he will reveal the location of the Shaohu bandit's lair.

Isn’t it a catastrophe?

At this moment, Heijiu was still hoping that Shaohu and the others would die cleanly - if one hundred of his men were dead, they would be dead. Although they had lost Shaohu, a general, it was still a big loss for the Shaohu bandits.

It's not really a stretch.

I'm afraid there are still survivors! There are traitors!

Heijiu pondered for a moment and said gloomily: "Don't be reckless!"

"Send more sentinels - if there is any unusual movement in Quyang, you must report it as soon as possible!"

"Recall all the brothers and don't leave the lake easily!"

The bandits were unwilling to give in: "But the second commander's hatred..."

Heijiao narrowed his eyes grimly, and everyone immediately shut up, not daring to say anything more.

Everyone knows the tactics of this great commander... The last person who raised objections still had his head stuck in a tree... No one wants to be the next one to be established.

…

In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived.

The wind in early autumn is not yet cool, and the scorching sun seems to be scorching the earth.

Looking around, the entire Quyang County seems to have been covered with yellow beams - on the vast fields, the ears of rice are swaying in the wind, creating attractive waves.

This year's rice ears seem to be particularly large, and it can be seen to the naked eye that it will be an unprecedentedly good year.

All the farmers working in the fields seemed to have vague smiles on their faces - in such a good year, the master's family only collected a tithe!

In the farm, children played and played; in the fields, the waterwheel squeaked and turned.

What a peaceful scene.

More than half a year has passed since Xiong Wuliang came to the fiefdom.

In just one year, Quyang County’s cultivated land area has nearly doubled!

With the joint promotion of waterwheels, fertilization, new agricultural tools, and farm production models, Quyang County will usher in a bumper harvest this year!

Zhong Hua walked around the fields and saw that the rice ears were huge, several times the size of previous years!

Old Zhong Hua's smile was as big as a monkey's butt.

Even based on the most conservative calculation, this year’s harvest will be more than three times that of previous years!

In terms of industry, it is a huge breakthrough from zero to one!

Quyang County now has more than 500 full-time skilled workers.

In addition, thousands of farmers are able to come to the factory to work part-time during the busy farming season!

At present, Quyang County already has a series of factories including processing plants, adobe factories, and textile factories!

In terms of business, Quyang County has also begun to prosper!

The current commodities are mainly arrows produced by processing plants and cloth produced by textile mills.

Although there are not many types of goods...but these are in short supply and hard currency!

This year's agricultural tax is probably not collected... But with the smuggling and sale of these goods, the warehouse in the fief is finally no longer as empty as it was when Xiong Wuliang first came to Quyang.

Now, even Mr. Mi Liang feels particularly confident when he is lying in Xiaoyi's arms and enjoying the massage!

There is food in your hands, don’t panic in your heart!

"Sir, I have a letter for you." Xiaoyi avoided Xiong Wuliang's hand that was wandering back and forth, her face was red and she lowered her head and said.

Xiong Wuliang smiled with a thick old face, stretched out his hand to take the bamboo tube, and pried open the mud seal.

Inside is a roll of parchment.

Young Master Mi Liang took a closer look - the signature was clearly written, and it was actually written by Prince Mi Heng.

"My brother:

Farewell to the capital of Ying, how are you doing? My brother wanted to go hunting in Quyang, but he arrived unexpectedly."

Only this short line of words fits the straightforward and stupid temper of His Highness the Prince.

Xiong Wuliang slapped his forehead and remembered.

He and the prince had made an agreement to hunt together in the fiefdom after autumn.

In the past six months, Master Mi Liang has been so busy that he had completely forgotten about this matter.

Now that I saw this letter, I remembered that there is such a team building activity.

To be honest, this is a good thing for Xiong Wuliang - the prince is not here to hunt for fun so much as to support himself.

This is a clear message to the entire Chu State - don't mess with Quyang Jun Mi Liang, there is a prince behind him.

It feels like there is someone behind you...so good!

but……

Xiaoyi poked her head curiously at the side: "Master, do you want to hunt with the prince? But... are there any prey in the fief?"

After Prince Xiong Wuliang came to Quyang County, he strongly encouraged farmers to reclaim wasteland and open fields.

When we first started reclaiming wasteland, we were often attacked by wild beasts, which even caused death and injury to farmers, making people panic.

After Master Mi Liang learned about it, he waved his hand.

Zhong Hua led two hundred Quyang disciples, fully armed and holding repeating crossbows, and walked back and forth in the fief several times like a sieve.

The beasts in the mountains faced the elite troops who were fully armed and fighting in formation, and they kept shouting, "Brother, I was wrong."

During that time, every household had meat to eat.

Wild animals in the mountains and forests are almost extinct.

Not to mention the jackals, tigers and leopards that excite hunters the most right now... even rabbits are big enough to grow.

Xiaoyi was a little worried: "Master, do you want to think of something? We can't let His Royal Highness return in despair, right?"

Xiong Wuliang chuckled.

"Don't panic, I have my own arrangements."

"Although there are no wild beasts anymore, there are still prey." Master Mi Liang seemed to have already made a plan for this, looking confident.

Xiaoyi Bingxue was smart and reacted immediately.
