Chapter 089: Silently accumulating strength and silently waiting for the opportunity

Although there were only more than ten people's money and food, due to the long owing time, all of them were distributed all at once, and the total amount was quite large. For this reason, the general flag had to requisition more than a dozen carriages to transport all the food to Niujiao Dun. As for the silver, it was not much, and it was only a few hundred taels of silver, and a few small cloth bags were loaded. More than a dozen carriages full of grain arrived, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Since Niujiaoduan was stationed by Xu Xingxia, Xu Xingxia was the nemesis of the Tartars, some brave Weizhenbao military households dared to appear around Niujiaoduan. Some military households even opened up a few vegetable fields around Niujiaoduan to grow common vegetables. Their thought was to use Xu Xingxia's luck to shock the Tartars and protect their fields. If they were not protected, there would be no big loss anyway.

Look, seeing a large number of grain transport trucks coming to Niujiaoduan, most of the working military households hurriedly approaching, their eyes full of envy. It would be great if so much food could be sent to their own hands. Not to mention anything else, you can at least open your stomach and have a full meal at night. Unfortunately, these foods were sent to Niujiaoduan soldiers, and there was no other person's share.

"Lao Yu, I'll leave this matter to you."

According to Xu Xingxia's arrangement, Yu Lijun was responsible for the distribution of money and grain. He recited the names of the soldiers one by one and distributed the money and grain to them in full. Xu Xingxia stood beside him, responsible for maintaining order and supervising the distribution situation. Judging from the comparison of the number and the actual product, Peng Feng did not make any mistakes this time, the quantity was enough. However, this also made Xu Xingxia more vigilant. Peng Feng actually made such a big concession, obviously he would not be willing to accept it. If he was not careful, he might have fallen into Peng Feng's plot.

In this world, it is always easy to avoid open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. Since he defeated Lu Yide, the superiors probably have to deal with him and will not take action openly. They will definitely think of a more insidious way. It seems that the arrival of Sobud last time obviously resulted in accurate information. Xu Xingxia is not sure who gave this information to Sobud. Now he has no specialized personnel in intelligence yet.

"I got it..."

The full collection of the owed money and grain made Niujiaoduan soldiers look very happy. Lao Yangtou and the others even secretly shed tears of gratitude. The family of each soldier also arrived from Weizhen Fort early and happily moved the money and grain back home. Looking at the heavy food on the horse's back, they were convinced again that as long as they followed Xu Xingxia wholeheartedly, they would definitely have a future.

This kind of loyalty is reflected in Zhang Quanfu, Gao Meng and others who quietly branded a triangle mark on their left arm, which is exactly the same as Xu Xingxia's left arm mark. They may not be clear about the specific meaning of this mark, and Xu Xingxia has not explained it in detail. However, they can all feel that if they want to become their own people with Xu Xingxia, they must have this mark. Otherwise, you are an outsider.

Nowadays, Yu Lijun is the only one who has no such imprint. However, Yu Lijun is a relatively introverted person and has relatively independent behavior and special behavior. It is understandable that he is unwilling to be a servant for Xu Xingxia. After all, Yu Lijun's current position is to be a servant for a hundred households, which is indeed a bit unscrupulous. Besides, Yu Lijun's benefits from Xu Xingxia are not many.

Of course, this will not affect the relationship between Xu Xingxia and Yu Lijun. In fact, Yu Lijun and Xu Xingxia are relatively good at most issues. Yu Lijun can't stand the darkness above, but unfortunately he is not able to fight against his superiors. Xu Xingxia's actions just gave Yu Lijun hope. Therefore, Yu Lijun strongly supports Xu Xingxia's actions, and as long as it is what Xu Xingxia ordered, he will do his best.

After the owed money and grain were paid in full, Yu Lijun went to the guard room and asked to exchange his military achievements for silver. However, unfortunately, there was still no clear result. The superior did not directly say that he would not exchange his military achievements, but just refused to say that he had no money for the time being. Of course, Yu Lijun understood that all such soft nails were excuses. It seemed that the superior was no longer interested in Niujiaodun's military achievements. There was no way, so he had to come back truthfully to report to Xu Xingxia.

Yu Lijun originally thought that Xu Xingxia would organize his subordinates again to go to Ningxia City to make money, and forced his superiors to fulfill their military achievements as soon as possible. However, it was a bit strange that Xu Xingxia did not do this. He seemed to be in a hurry at all. Later, he simply forgot about this. In fact, Xu Xingxia was not a naughty person, and he knew very well where the bottom line was.

With his current strength, it is still okay to tinker with Qianhu. If he tinkers with the commander of the guards, it would be a bit too much. If he rushes the commander of the guards, he will even send armed servants to deal with him. Of course, Xu Xingxia would not do such an unwise thing. Of course, if his strength becomes stronger and his wings are full in the future, he will definitely do it.

If you want to compete with your boss, the biggest backstage is the force in your hands. To put it bluntly, it is the number and quality of the armed forces under your command. To put it more clearly, it is the strength of the armed servants they have. Xu Xingxia currently has not enough armed servants and cannot fight against Deng Rubai. Therefore, he can only accumulate strength silently and wait for the right opportunity.

As a householder, Xu Xingxia was unable to train more servants, so he could only work hard on quality. He wanted his servants to completely surpass Deng Rubai's servants in terms of individual combat effectiveness. Therefore, throughout April, Xu Xingxia continued to urge his subordinates to train like crazy.

As for the Tatars, it was probably after Sobud returned, and the news spread that there was a perverted archer in Ningxia Town recently. The sporadic Tartars had not appeared for several days. The wilderness around Niujiaoduan seemed particularly quiet. Xu Xingxia also took time to visit Zhenyuan Pass, but found that there was no trace of the Gobi Desert outside Zhenyuan Pass. It seemed that the Tartar cavalry had indeed not gone south for a while.

The Tartars did not appear, which were both beneficial and harmful. The advantage was that there was no harassment from the Tartars. Xu Xingxia could train his troops with confidence. The vegetable fields around Niujiaoduan could also be farmed smoothly. The military households in Weizhenbao could also be at ease for a while. The disadvantage was that there was no Tartars coming, and there seemed to be no military achievements to be made. Xu Xingxia's current main source of income still had to rely on military achievements. Without the Tartars' heads, there would be no main source of income.

However, even if you have enough military achievements, you may not be able to exchange them for silver. After all, exchange for military achievements is restricted by the superiors. The superiors always owe silver for military achievements and refuse to cash in. Even if you have military achievements, you cannot get the money in a short time, which seems to be a problem. It seems that you still have to explore new sources of wealth to get rid of the superiors’ dominance!

In addition, the Tatars did not go south, and there was another big concern, that is, the Tatars might be planning a large-scale operation. The little prince of the Hellejin tribe was shot and killed, and the eldest prince fled back in a panic. It would be strange if the Hellejin tribe could withstand this tone. Even Xu Xingxia might not be able to withstand this tone. Therefore, with his heels, you can imagine that the Tatars must be mobilizing troops and planning a large-scale invasion.

According to information revealed by Wang Qinian, the Tatars have been fighting against the Tumot tribe commanded by Lin Dankhan. This Helejin tribe is the Tatars' vanguard, and its main forces are used to deal with Lin Dankhan. If the Helejin tribe draws troops from the front line to attack Ningxia Town, the war will really burn. At that time, the Tatar cavalry going south will not be dozens or even hundreds, and there may be thousands.

Once the more than 30 soldiers of Niujiao Dun encounter a large-scale attack by the Tatars, the consequences can be imagined. Niujiao Dun is just a beacon fire dungeon after all, and its main function is to call the police. There are still major defects in the defense strength. As long as the number of Tatar cavalry exceeds 500, Niujiao Dun is very dangerous. If the number of Tatar cavalry exceeds 1,000, Niujiao Dunge will basically have no chance of survival.

Of course, before Niujiaoduan was destroyed, Xu Xingxia would also cause the heaviest losses to the Tatars. However, Niujiaoduan's room for maneuver was indeed too small, and there were too few troops to station. No matter how many Tartars he could shoot, the final result was still annihilation. In order to avoid such a worst-case scenario, Xu Xingxia had to work hard to improve his strength. If he could not defeat, we could escape! Leave the green mountains and don't worry about burning fire!

While the soldiers under his command were desperately training to ride and shoot, Xu Xingxia followed Gao Meng and practiced the skill of melee fighting, especially the rushing skill on horseback. This was to prepare for future breakthrough battles. The Tatar cavalry went south on a large scale, and at least half of the targets were for him, Xu Xingxia. As long as Xu Xingxia was not in Niujiaodu, the Tatar cavalry would not attack Niujiaodu desperately. In other words, Niujiaodu was temporarily safe.

There were two main types of battles at that time, fighting on horseback. One was short weapons such as sabers, and the other was long weapons such as long spears. Whether it was long weapons or short weapons, Xu Xingxia had to learn from the beginning. His power was very strong, and he didn't need to worry about not killing others with one knife. He just needed to learn how to hit the enemy with one knife, but avoid being hit by the enemy.
