Lin Che transmigrated and became the seventh son of the Daqian Zhen Guo Mansion. Because the original owner was not the Duke Zhen Guo’s biological son, he was unloved by his father and mother since...
A full ten million taels, all used to buy elixirs.
In the past few days, his subordinates have not been idle either, they have been out purchasing supplies and have directly spent 10 million taels.
This amount of money may seem huge, but Lin Che is preparing food, clothing, housing and transportation for 40,000 people.
Even if we only provide each person with a piece of toilet paper and a pair of underwear, that would be enough to fill up a large warehouse.
Therefore, after this round of purchases, not only was Lin Che’s Cangtian Bag full, but even their war horses were fully loaded.
He was so anxious to cooperate with the Li family and even made concessions to a certain extent, with the aim of getting the Li family to move as soon as possible.
By then, when the Li family's caravan departs from Yunzhou, he can let them bring all kinds of daily necessities with him, and his 40,000-strong army will definitely be able to use them all up.
Only with an endless supply of supplies can his Shenji Camp operate, otherwise they can only eat wild vegetables and grass roots.
The next day, Lin Che knew it was almost time to go back.
"Master Li, then everything will proceed according to our plan. We will split up and your caravan will be ready to depart in ten days at the earliest."
"Okay! Then I'll wait for news from Master Lin. I can take action at any time."
Li Xingxiu and his group saw them off in front of the market.
Li Xingyi next to him still looked embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Mr. Lin, since we are collaborating, why not bring two more liaisons this time? What do you think of Xingyi? You are more familiar with her, and she will be by your side and can take care of your daily life and diet."
Lin Che didn't bother to look at it any further. He jumped on his horse and said, "We'll talk about it later."
He was going to suppress bandits and kill vagrants, so what was the big deal about bringing a woman with him? A few conspicuous liaisons would be enough.
In this way, the Shenjiying returned with a full load.
They galloped all the way without stopping and left Yunzhou that night, entering a lawless area where bandits were rampant.
Another day later, Lin Che finally met up with the first stationed Shen Ji Battalion.
"General—"
The soldiers of the Shenji Camp shouted excitedly when they saw Lin Che return.
"The General is back. The General is back!"
This group of soldiers, who were originally a little listless, suddenly heard someone shouting loudly and immediately rushed over.
"Really? The General is back?"
"Son of God! The Son of God has returned!"
There were several liaison officers from the Li family following Lin Che, and when they saw such a large army, their eyes widened.
This time, they were completely relieved. With the protection of the Shenji Camp, what would they be afraid of the bandits?
We must send someone back immediately to inform the head of the family that this cooperation is secure. We can also expand the caravan.
As soon as Lin Che entered the main tent, she asked, "Has anything happened during my absence?"
"General, it's nothing serious. We're fighting bandits in this area every day. There were small groups of bandits at the beginning, but they've disappeared in the past two days. It seems they've run away."
This was just as Lin Che had expected. After all, this place wasn't too far from Yunzhou, and the only people who could move around here were small fry.
After asking for a while, it turned out that it was indeed nothing serious.
Lin Che simply gave the order to the army to move out and meet up with the next battalion.
The situation of the next camp was similar. Now, as soon as the bandits nearby saw the flag of their Shenji Camp, they knew they could not move and turned around and ran away.
This was also the result Lin Che wanted.
Five days later, they reunited with the remaining Shenji Camp, and the 40,000-strong army finally gathered together again.
"General, we have encountered a very tough group of bandits."
When Gong Qiu saw Lin Che coming back, he immediately felt confident and spread out the map.
"This group of bandits number over 10,000. Their leader is called Binggu! His cultivation level should be at the sixth level of Flesh and Blood Regeneration. They have occupied this large area of mountaintops and forests."
"We've encountered them several times, but we couldn't eat them or drive them away. Ten nights ago, they even tried to sneak up on us in the dark. Luckily, the general taught us how to set up a tight formation, so we were able to spot them in time."
"We wanted to use cavalry to pursue them, but they could just hide in the mountains and forests. There's a long river between us, so our horses wouldn't be able to be used. I thought about setting fire to them, but the Chief of Logistics Staff disagreed with us burning the mountains."
As soon as Gong Qiu finished speaking, Yan Muskxiang spoke angrily.
"Of course I disagree. If you set fire to the mountains here, can you control the fire? It won't just burn one or two hilltops, it could spread across dozens or even hundreds of hilltops. It could even burn all the way along the grassland to the northern desert... How will the nearby mountain dwellers and hunters survive?"
For Yan Muskxiang, the people of their village have lived in the mountains for generations, so she is very opposed to setting fire to the mountains.
This seemed to be a controversial issue, but it also reflected that the Shenji Camp was unable to reach a consensus after Lin Che disappeared.
Lin Che said without hesitation, "There's this group of bandits. We must suppress them. But we don't have to resort to setting them on fire. Bandits are human beings. If you set them on fire, they'll run away. They can still survive if they run to another hilltop."
"Go and gather the troops. I will go into battle myself!"
Boom boom boom.
The sound of war drums rang out, and the 40,000-strong army of the Shenji Camp began to move.
This was also Lin Che's usual fighting style. No matter how many people were on the other side, he would send out ten if he could, and ten thousand if he could.
