In Qingfeng Village, Ying Xuanze came to the well, drew a bucket of water and used it to wash the blood off his face.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding! It is detected that the host has completely eliminated the evil forces in Yingchuan, unlocking new achievements! ]

[Reward: Basic points +1, currently 3 points can be obtained per second! ]

[It is detected that the host has eliminated a large number of bandits, and a reward of 50 points is given! ]

Seeing the reward arrive, Ying Xuanze was shocked all over, and felt that all the fatigue that had accumulated in his body disappeared at this moment.

In order to win the battle, apart from the necessary expansion of the army, he exchanged the remaining points for arrows.

The 106 points that arrived were undoubtedly a timely help. It took a total of points to train a one-star infantryman, and these points were enough for him to build an infantry of nearly people!

If the army of the Daying Dynasty wanted to recruit soldiers, it would take at least half a year to train an adult male into a soldier who could go to the battlefield.

These are just new recruits. If they want to become seasoned veterans, they have to fight in several battles, which will take several years and a strong life.

It can be said that the cost of an experienced soldier is very high, but he can reduce this cost and time to a minimum!

By fighting to support himself, he can definitely gain more points through fighting.

The thing that is most lacking in Xiliang is bandits, and around Xiliang there are a large number of countries established by ethnic minorities.

These were all important sources of points for him! Not only that, after looting Qingfeng Village and Longwang Village, he obtained a large amount of food and supplies.

He left part of the food and supplies in Gaoliu City, one to enrich the granary of Gaoliu City and the other to absorb outsiders.

Now that the bandit problem in Yingchuan has been eliminated, he believes that more and more people will choose to live in Gaoliu City.

He will place the rest in the barracks, so that he can save a lot of points, which will be used to expand the size of the army.

He opened the system's properties panel.

[Host: Ying Xuanze]

[Points: 513897 (growing)]

[Territory: Xiliang (100785 square kilometers)]

[Soldiers: 7186]

[Army types: One-star infantry: 4546 people, one-star archers: 2389 people, cavalry: 251]

[Military General: Zhang Fei (S-level)]

[Advisor: Zhang Liang (S-level)]

Although many bandits were killed with bows and arrows in this battle, the bloodiest battle was the final hand-to-hand combat.

Even with the support of Zhang Liang's "strategic planning" and Zhang Fei's "rage", a lot of soldiers were still lost.

Among them, the infantry suffered the greatest losses. As the main combat force, they fought with the bandits for the longest time, so it was reasonable that they suffered heavy casualties.

But even so, the total number of casualties in this annihilation battle was less than 3,000, compared with nearly 20,000 bandits in Qingfeng Village and Longwang Village.

The casualty ratio reached an astonishing one to seven, which can be said to be a beautiful annihilation battle.

also.......

Ying Xuanze recalled what Wu Meng said before his death, and it seemed that all the clues were connected.

No wonder as soon as he arrived in Gaoliu City, bandits led thousands of troops to attack the city and threatened to destroy him.

It turned out that it was all Wang Yuan, the lord of Longxi City, who was behind this and sold all his information to the bandits.

If he had not formed an army immediately after arriving in Gaoliu City, he would probably be waiting at the Naihe Bridge to drink Mengpo soup.

However, these bandits in Yingchuan did not know that he had soldiers under his command, and until they died, they thought that Wang Yuan and he were acting out a show.

Ying Xuanze narrowed his eyes and touched his chin. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with Wang Yuan, Zhang Fei strode towards him.

"Brother, everything in Qingfeng Village has been counted. Someone in Longwang Village has also replied, and the count has also been completed."

"We captured a lot of food this time, enough for the brothers to eat for a long time!"

Ying Xuanze nodded after listening to this: "Gao Liu City cannot produce so much food. I think these bandits must have looted other cities."

"Give me a map."

Zhang Fei immediately called his subordinates, and a moment later, a soldier came running over holding a blueprint.

Ying Xuanze took the blueprint, put the map on the table and unfolded it.

He pointed to the west on the map, where the location marked was Gaoliu Castle.

"I got some information on the way to Xiliang. There are four big cities in Xiliang, namely Fencheng in the east, Jubeicheng in the north, Chucheng in the south and our Gaoliucheng."

"About 230 years ago, there was a famine, and many people in the Central Plains migrated south and west with their families."

"Those who migrated westward became the people of Xiliang today, but because of the environment in Xiliang, it is destined not to support too many people."

"So most of the population of Xiliang is concentrated in the east. The environment here is better, there is more land, and so more food is produced."

"But it is this Longxi City located in the middle that is known as the largest city in Xiliang. I was puzzled at the time, but now all the mysteries have been solved..."

Zhang Fei looked at the map for a few times, still frowning. He whispered, "Since Xiliang is generally considered desolate and barren, why are there so many bandit problems?"

Ying Xuanze smiled faintly: "When I was in the capital, I heard that the local nobles in Xiliang like to bully others by taking advantage of their power. I guess those bandits who went up the mountain to become bandits were also oppressed by these nobles in the early days, right?"

"The nobles oppressed the people, and the people went up the mountain to become bandits. These bandits continued to oppress the people. The officials and bandits colluded, and the people lived in misery."

"It can be said that the land of Xiliang is rotten to the core and needs to be properly treated."

Zhang Fei nodded thoughtfully: "So according to what you said, the Lord of Longxi City is not a good person?"

Ying Xuanze nodded.

"Then why don't we take our men straight to Longxi City and kill him by surprise while he still doesn't know that the bandits in Yingchuan have been destroyed?"

Ying Xuanze didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why kill him? He is a local official appointed by the court. If we take action first, won't we become bandits?"

Zhang Fei grumbled, "He's already involved with the bandits, and we can't kill him. That's too frustrating."

"I know Yide is anxious, but we can't rush this matter."

Ying Xuanze didn't say anything else, but he knew in his heart that if a local tyrant dared to be so arrogant, he must have someone backing him up behind the scenes.

As for who was backing them, he could probably guess that it was some powerful people in the capital, but he would have to wait for some time to find out who it was.

The reason why he was able to defeat the Yingchuan bandits with a smaller force was because of the intelligence gap, and the same intelligence gap could also be applied to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan and the forces behind him want the Ying family to die, so let’s see who has the last laugh!
