Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader

Time quietly came to December.

The second year of Tai'an was a year of disasters. The Emperor Tai'an, who was originally a wise ruler, died halfway through, and the situation completely collapsed.

Then it was all over...

Fortunately, Chen Nuo's choice allowed them to escape.

At present, they are developing in this corner of Tianhe County.

The ups and downs of fighting outside and the chaos on the battlefield have not affected them for the time being.

And in the past three months, Wei Shuao has brought a surprise to Chen Nuo.

On a small hill.

Chen Nuo stood alone, looking down from afar. The military camp that should have been well-organized and strictly defended was now ablaze with smoke.

Accompanied by waves of sword chopping and fighting, the two torrents collided.

Chen Nuo was watching from above, silent.

The quality of the soldiers of these two forces was not much different, and even the equipment was about the same, but the gap between the commanders was really obvious.

One side commanded from the center, interspersed left and right, echoed front and back, and tried its best to circle the battlefield forces within the controllable range and strangled them one by one.

They also distributed the forces reasonably, with a fierce general as the spearhead, rushing and attacking wildly, invincible.

And the other side?

They couldn't even hold on. The army was divided into two groups, one in front and one behind. No one knew when the number of people dispersed, and even deserters had quietly appeared!

In this situation, when the big flag in the camp was broken, the result was doomed.

"Qingfeng military camp, take it down."

...

In the military camp, Wei Shuao, who was dressed in armor, stood in front and bowed to Chen Nuo.

"General!"

Because the army was established in Tianhe, Chen Nuo took the position of general himself, and his men were naturally called generals on such occasions.

"Deputy General Wei, please get up quickly."

Chen Nuo looked at Wei Shuao with satisfaction.

In this battle, Chen Nuo saw the other party's command skills. He was undoubtedly a general in command of the army!

First, they exaggerated the 20,000-man army to confuse the enemy, then they sent three families to set fire to the village fields to trap the enemy and starve them of food, and finally they surrounded the three sides and left one side to disrupt the enemy's morale.

One by one, they took down the military camp, which should have had a geographical advantage in defense.

It took only four days.

Moreover, there were few casualties, only more than a hundred people.

It was an undoubted victory.

"General, people have been sent to drive the captives in the military camp to the open space. The property and food are still being calculated, and some military prostitutes have been found."

"Well, send someone to appease the civilians in the military camp. If anyone dares to make trouble, kill them without mercy."

"Yes."

"Let's go and take a look."

The military camp is very large, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate 7,000 people.

But the core area is fixed and not very large.

In the open space, about a thousand captives were tied up here. Except for a few Yue soldiers wearing fine armor, the others were Yi and Yan men who were ready to fight with guns.

The difference between the two tribes is quite big. Most Yi people have disheveled hair and large tattoos. Their eyes are fierce and wild.

The Yan people are dressed the same as the Yue people. If it weren't for their red hair and red eyes, you can't even tell the difference from their behavior and dress.

Around them, there was a group of women in revealing clothes, kneeling on the ground with panic.

At this moment, seeing Chen Nuo and Wei Shuao, the leaders, coming, everyone looked over.

Chen Nuo ignored these people, but looked at the fat old man kneeling on the ground, Fan Ming.

"Are you Fan Ming?"

"Rebel! Traitor! The court will not let you go!"

Fan Ming's eyes were wide open, and his gray beard was trembling.

Glancing at the old man, Chen Nuo shook his head, "Cut it off."

Fan Ming panicked, but he stood up again and shouted.

"Traitor! Don't be complacent! His Royal Highness Cheng Wang will definitely avenge me!"

Cheng Wang?

Oh.

The so-called big customer of the women in Hongxiu Tower is actually a backer.

Qingfeng Military Camp has secretly surrendered to Cheng Wang, which Chen Nuo knew before, but Chen Nuo still took action.

Qingfeng Military Camp is too important. Without this military camp, Tianhe County cannot stand firm at all. But if this military camp is controlled, Tianhe County will be firmly protected behind, and it can also develop with the advantage of the transportation route.

If this kind of place is not controlled in one's own hands, will it be controlled by others?

What's more.

Then Cheng Wang doesn't value this place. Coming down from the north, he must pass through the central region, and the central region is the territory of Yaowang Valley and Dugu. Is he a fool to take action for a mere Qingfeng Military Camp?

Chen Nuo had already considered everything in his mind before he took action.

Taking over the Qingfeng military camp would bring more benefits than disadvantages.

With a burst of puffs, the frantic curses stopped abruptly.

Chen Yong came back with his head.

Then, Chen Nuo looked at the captives.

As Chen Nuo ordered Fan Ming to be beheaded, the captives became obviously panicked.

Wei Shuao frowned slightly, "General, we don't have much food, and these people were captured in the battle, not surrendering voluntarily. If there is no reasonable arrangement, it is better to kill all of them..."

Chen Nuo waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

In ancient times, most of the prisoners were killed because they were unable to support and control them, and they could not let the tiger go back to the mountain, so they had to kill them all.

However, Chen Nuo's current situation has not yet reached this point.

"No need, demote them all into slaves, use them to cultivate fields, lay roads, and dig ore."

"We can't kill them all, otherwise, the thousands of people in the military stronghold will probably regard us as enemy bandits. What I want is to control Qingfeng Military Stronghold, not destroy it."

"The general is wise." Wei Shuao saluted slightly.

slave.

It's real here.

Widely found in those barbarian settlements.

Therefore, what Chen Nuo did was not inappropriate. On the contrary, in the southern land where barbarism and order coexisted, it could be regarded as benevolent.

However, Chen Nuo looked at the wildness in the eyes of the barbarians and frowned.

After thinking about it, I came up with the most suitable candidate.

"Chen Yong!"

"Brother Nuo, what's wrong?"

"After you go back, these thousands of slaves will be under your control. When the time comes, I will send people to help you divide them up, and then implement the continuous sitting system. You have to watch out for me and don't let them cause any riots."

"Oh, these, don't worry, Brother Nuo. I'll starve them for a few days and catch a few fish. If anyone dares to take the lead in making trouble, I'll kill them. If they all make trouble, I'll smash them all. I'll definitely obey them."

Chen Yong waved his mace, which was stained with blood and minced meat.

?

Chen Nuo glanced at Chen Yong in surprise. He didn't expect that Chen Yong could say these words. Chen Yong was not stupid, but when did he know this?

Chen Yong was a little angry and said, "Brother Nuo, what are you looking at? It's not like I don't understand this. Haven't we seen a lot on the road? Isn't that how those barbarian settlements and those powerful men deal with slaves and servants? Also, don't we? It’s not like I don’t read books during these days.”

"Okay, okay, you're right, do it well, Brother Nuo is optimistic about you."

Chen Nuo patted Chen Yong on the shoulder and encouraged him.

Of course, the slave matter is not over yet, "Shu Ao, don't kill the savages you capture in the mountains and defeat the barbarian settlements in the future. Bring them back and demote them as slaves. What we have to do next will require a lot of labor." "

"Yes, General."

Wei Shuao knew that what the head of the family was going to do next would indeed require a lot of labor, but it would probably be very difficult, right?

Building roads and stuff...

Chen Nuo glanced at the military prostitutes and said, "Let them go."

At this time.

Suddenly some of the military prostitutes who had been cowering there kowtowed, "Thank you, my benefactor! Thank you, my benefactor!"

Wei Shuao walked over and gave the order. At this time, a most beautiful woman knelt and walked forward, "Sir, I am very grateful, but we have nowhere to go. We were all kidnapped here." Yes, family..."

She shook her head in confusion.

Wei Shuao frowned, troublesome.

He turned around to find Chen Nuo.

The cold light appears!

A dagger quenched with green venom flew out of his sleeve and struck Wei Shuao's back.

Poof!

The dagger was pierced in the neck, and blood spurted out. The woman's eyes were full of disbelief, and she pointed at Chen Nuo, "Ho...ho..."

At the same time, among the group of military prostitutes, more than a dozen people who accompanied the attack were killed in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few alive.

"Haha, I've been waiting for you."

Chen Nuo looked at these military prostitutes with a sneer.

This place was originally used by Hongxiulou as a bargaining chip, and secretly defected to King Cheng. How could there not be those women from Hongxiulou who were keen on expanding their power and building an intelligence network?

"Is it okay, Shu Ao."

Wei Shuao was still a little shocked, but his qualities as an excellent general allowed him to calm down quickly.

"My subordinate is fine. I was just a little caught off guard."

"Don't worry, everything is under control. However, you need to practice your skills. As a general, you cannot be assassinated easily."

"The qualifications of the warriors under me are mediocre. After training so far, they can barely break through the flesh realm. I can only work hard in the future." Wei Shuao's face was a little melancholy. If he had really good qualifications and a high level, he would not have been easily beaten by others in the first place. If he takes away the credit, he will not choose to go to Yue.

"It's okay. If you have merit, you will be rewarded. If you make mistakes, you will be punished. The family will allocate resources to you. Practice hard."

"Yes, General."

This is not false. Chen Nuo does have the intention to train the other party. It is unjustifiable not to train such a general. It is a pity that the snake fruit is gone, otherwise...

That’s all, let’s settle things here first.

"Chen Xiang."

A call.

Suddenly one of the soldiers walked out, half-kneeling on the ground, "Clan leader."

"I'll leave these people to you. Interrogate them carefully and arrest all the people in Hongxiu Tower."

"yes."

"Shu Ao, send someone to clean this road and re-establish a defense line."

"yes."

So far.

The Qingfeng military camp completely fell into Chen Nuo's hands.

…

Taking Qingfeng Military Stronghold does not mean that everything will be fine.

This is just the beginning.

Tianhe County.

After three months of governance, the people's livelihood in Tianhe County has improved a lot, and many people have begun to welcome the Chen family.

Chen's drug store and medical clinic were also opened.

However, due to people's financial problems, not many have been opened.

There is a pharmacy in each triangle of the county seat, and a medical center in the center. There is not even a shadow of a hospital.

Chen Nuo also borrowed the model of An County when governing Tianhe County, dividing Tianhe County into three areas in a triangular state, namely, business, people gathering, and barracks.

As for the central location of Chen Mansion, it is a prosperous place where the powerful or wealthy gather.

Even the county government office is here, and the county government office will open every day to hear various cases and disputes.

However, because Chen Nuo wants to practice, the position of county magistrate is not actually held by himself, but handed over to his father-in-law, Ning Tianya.

Not to mention, as the head of a family who has been the county magistrate for more than ten years, his ability in government affairs is not covered, and it can be said that he handles it in an orderly manner.

Even those racial disputes, he has a way to solve them. As for those ordinary people's livelihood issues, they can also be implemented according to Chen Nuo's principle of recuperation and non-oppression.

Obviously, Chen Nuo, the father-in-law, has the ability.

As for why he didn't do this before?

It can only be said that he didn't take the common people to heart.

Not only him, there are many capable talents among the children of the aristocratic families, who can definitely be good officials, but this is impossible...

The difference in concepts has long isolated them from the lower classes.

Even Ning Tianya, didn't he start to govern a county seriously after many hardships and at the request of Chen Nuo?

Now, relying on Ning Tianya to become the county magistrate, the Ning family's children have finally risen again.

Serving as minor officials, head constables, and some businesses such as cloth shops, although not as good as before, they can also be said to be the top families in Tianhe County.

As for the six heads of the house, the Chen family and the Ning family each have half.

The main reason is that the Chen family cannot produce so many talents in government affairs, otherwise, it is okay to take all of them. Tianhe County is still controlled by Chen Nuo.

At present, the positions of county lieutenant and county magistrate of Tianhe County are still vacant, and Chen Nuo has no intention of choosing people for the time being.

Isn't it good to keep these two positions, recruit talents, and reward meritorious people?

For example, now

Chen Nuo handed over the post of county lieutenant to Wei Shuao as a reward for his great victory.

In addition, he was given some gold, silver and cultivation resources, including some ointments that Chen Nuo had just refined to help the cultivation of the flesh realm.

In addition to this, there are also matters such as pensions for the fallen soldiers, treatment of disabled soldiers, and rewards for meritorious soldiers.

He was busy until the third day of attacking the military camp.

Chen Mansion, backyard, a place that was strictly defended.

Chen Nuo looked at the mud-like objects that had finally taken shape in his hands, as well as the many strange-shaped objects placed next to him. Finally, his whole body softened, he sat on the chair and laughed.

At this time, Chen Nuo's face was surprisingly pale.

This is almost impossible for a strong man in the tendon and bone realm with abundant qi and blood.

Unless he is seriously injured.

"Haha, the best ratio of cement has finally been found, and there are these things. It's worth it that I have been spraying and melting, and my qi and blood are almost exhausted."
