Along with the news came a group of refugees and bandits who came here because of its reputation.

When something happened in Hezhou, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced and were not heading in the same direction.

Originally, there were only more than a thousand people gathered here, but because of the strict discipline of the Taoyuan Gang, they were able to eat and drink enough, so that the surrounding people could not help but bring their families to join them.

As a result, the team has expanded to more than two thousand people.

Before General Lin arrived, the first group of refugees with the news had already arrived, and there were more than 3,000 people in this group.

Lin Jiuxi looked at so many people coming to seek refuge, and thought about the gold leaves that were being consumed day by day, and suddenly he felt overwhelmed.

Even though these people are willing to work, they are usually quite obedient.

Someone like Zhang Yi, who has strong limbs but uses up all the nutrients in his brain, is not suitable to be ordered to do anything.

Except for getting food.

This gave Lin Jiuxi a little hope, but unfortunately there was no news from Ji Weiyu. The news that they were about to be crushed by the elite soldiers sent from the capital was imminent.

So even if Lin Jiuxi is unwilling to live off the fat of the land, the fact is that he can only wait for the food to grow.

Lin Jiuxi told Liu Jia that he needed to select people to serve as scouts.

But in fact, when it comes to leading troops to fight, Comrade Zhao Kuo has already told us with vivid examples that we cannot just talk about it on paper.

Most blacksmiths are unwilling to make broadswords. Of course, there are many blacksmiths among the bandit victims, and now they are working for her, and they have made dozens of swords. But this is just a drop in the bucket, not enough.

Because there is only one person scouting a section of the distance, the speed of information transmission will be much faster than the speed of General Lin coming over, which also provides Lin Jiuxi with time to prepare.

In addition, other members of the Taoyuan Gang are also undergoing emergency training.

"From among those who came later, pick out twenty or so smart people, and those with plain looks that are hard to remember." Lin Jiuxi instructed.

Emperor Taizu, a founding emperor, was best at guerrilla warfare.

Lin Jiuxi was silent.

Are we going to return to our previous state of poverty? [Don’t you want the Worry-Free Palace? Don’t you want a large number of people? There are a lot of gold, silver, jewels and money in the palace!]

Compared with other equally nutritious proteins, tofu is much cheaper than them.

Lin Jiuxi had no choice but to pick an old man himself.

"If people can't remember this, how can I find him?" Zhang Yi said confidently: "Can a person who is not outstanding be considered smart?"

But the food in the fields cannot be grown just by planting it all, and these people still need food and drink before the food is harvested.

She had been on the battlefield, where scouts used high-tech gadgets like pagers and only needed to conduct reconnaissance, and didn't need anyone to send reports.

She had stayed in Nangong Jing's military camp for a period of time before, and even took the opportunity to read a lot of military books.

"I thought that even though they were doing investigation, they still had to report the news, and young people run faster," Liu Jia and Lin Jiuxi explained.

But they are expensive.

When he was almost shedding tears of poverty, Lin Jiuxi remembered what Ji Weiyu said when she seduced him.

I knew I had to pack up and run into the woods.

She turned her head and looked at the forest behind her. It was very nice and dense.

After all, the city lord had not allowed her to enter, and even the food and rice had to be bought in the surrounding towns.

This way everyone will know it at a glance.

Although buying a knife costs money, it is the fastest way to solve the problem at hand.

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we harass. Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles.

In addition to improving personal qualities, there are also war strategies.

Lin Jiuxi no longer let them work in the fields, but instead bought a large amount of soy products.

Liu Jia agreed. He had spent much more time with the refugees who came to report the news than Lin Jiuxi had, so he naturally knew the urgency of the matter.

There was a huge difference between them and the soldiers sent from the capital. They hadn't been hungry for more than two days, and they were severely malnourished. It was another matter whether they could lift a knife even if they were given one.

So within two days, he brought 26 people, all of whom were quite young men with ordinary faces, and people would forget them as soon as they saw them.

I have to say that he did a pretty good job in this matter. After all, with that ferocious look on his face, those who wanted to cut in line and grab food didn't dare to do so and could only queue up honestly.

In order to save costs, Lin Jiuxi naturally turned his attention to soybeans.

The old people who can survive among the refugees are all very wise.

But now, after all, it is very different from before.

Lin Jiuxi gave them an emergency training. It was called training, but in fact it was just giving them personalities and then assigning them along the way.

In addition to providing the bandits with such escape training, Lin Jiuxi also went to find Linglong and spent money to buy a batch of machetes from her.

Eggs, milk and meat are all excellent sources of protein.

Lin Jiuxi nodded and understood, "I didn't think it through. I didn't expect this."

The old man's name is Liu Jia. He used to be a carpenter and he is still a carpenter now.

Lin Jiuxi said to himself: "It seems that I really want to follow the example of Emperor Taizu."

If we encounter General Lin's troops, we will gradually pass on the news.

Zhang Yi touched his head which was totally devoid of brains, frowned, and was very puzzled.

It's not that Lin Jiuxi doesn't want to make it directly, but she is short of manpower and has no iron ore. Not to mention that General Lin's army is like a knife on the neck, and it will fall at any time.

Lin Jiuxi had people build tall towers on the tops of several nearby mountains, with people on duty day and night. There was a special fuel in the tower, and if an enemy attacked, red smoke would appear once it was ignited.

The people under his command were not unarmed, but they did not have any weapons.

Linglong actually wore decent clothes, which was a rare sight for her. She dressed modestly, like a young woman from some unknown family.

"You, you, I don't know what to say to you." Linglong shook her head when she saw her.

Lin Jiuxi smiled and said, "Aunt Linglong, you can say whatever you want to say. I will listen to you."

"If you listen to me, you should have disbanded those people instead of rushing forward as a woman to go against the court." Linglong did not agree with her approach.

"But if we disband them, they might starve to death. I can't bear to see that."
