Chapter 300 North Mountain Strategy

If the other party hadn't come, Hua Kai would have almost forgotten that he had captured nearly 10,000 Fang family servants and made them work as laborers in Gaoliu City. The other party was also careless and came to contact at this time.

Hua Kai was waiting in the living room. The representative of the Fang family was an old man in his sixties. The old man had been smiling since he entered the living room. Hua Kai was puzzled by what the Fang family was planning to do by sending such a person.

"I have met the head of the Hua family. I didn't expect that the Hua family could build a deserted Gaoliu City into what it is now in half a year. It's unbelievable." The old man looked at Hua Kai with wide eyes and said admiringly.

"Not bad! The Fang family came here for those captives! Tell me your conditions!" Hua Kai saw that the other party was only at the perfect level of Qi training. Logically, if the other party really wanted to redeem his servants at a small price, he should send someone at the Qi training level.

"Master Hua, on behalf of our Fang family, I deeply apologize for what happened last year. My son was young and ignorant, and he contradicted Master Hua. This time, I was ordered by our master to come and negotiate with Master Hua. I hope Master Hua will be generous and release our Fang family servants." The old man bowed his head and said apologetically.

"You are not going to take people away just by talking! If you are not convinced about this matter, you can come at will. If your master just has this attitude, please go back!" Hua Kai got up and left.

The old man shouted for a long time but was still driven out by the servants. Hua Kai felt a little ridiculous when he returned to the room. The arrogance of the family is not something that ordinary people can imagine. The Fang family thought that they would let the Hua family go and let them all go. Should they also give them an apology when they leave?

Since the other party has such an attitude, let him stay! Hua Kai found a special servant in the Hua family and asked him to negotiate with the other party. If the other party does not talk well, he does not need to report to him.

Hua Kai did not receive any reports from his servants for two consecutive days. Since the other party was not in a hurry, let them continue to work in Gaoliu City! Perhaps one day they will become citizens of Gaoliu City, and then it will be their Fang family's own business.

Half a month after the Gaoliu City Merchants Group left, the city was already under construction. Hua Kai inspected the seven major departments and found that the six major families managed the entire Gaoliu City quite well.

There are people from the Hua family and the six major families in the six major departments, and many local managers are people from ordinary families, which makes it difficult for the heads of the six major families to commit favoritism and fraud.

Everything is developing in a good direction. Hua Kai watched the family attributes continue to improve every day, and the family luck value recovery speed has reached more than 3,000 points. In addition to upgrading the family members' trials every day, Hua Kai also upgraded the horses. He forged all the remaining family luck values ​​into [Golden Silk Soft Armor], which can be used for the Qinglong Reserve Corps first. In the future, these Qinglong Corps will become formal members.

A servant came to the main house. Hua Kai thought that the Fang family had reached a conclusion in the negotiations. As a result, the servant told Hua Kai that a caravan from Yan State had arrived at the gate of Gaoliu City and wanted to enter the city for a rest.

Hua Kai did not expect that there would be a caravan going to the grassland from Baoyu Pass this year. Presumably, these caravans were used to going from Baoyu Pass in previous years. They were probably connected with Donghu State.

These were not important to Hua Kai. Since they were at the door of his house, how could he drive away the guests? Hua Kai asked the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion to let them in.

Perhaps they did not know that Gaoliu City would have such a big change, and perhaps they did not know what the Hua family had done in Gaoliu County in the past year, but as long as they entered Gaoliu City, from now on they had to slowly accept the fact that Gaoliu County was the world of the Hua family, and Baoyu Pass was now also the Hua family's final say.

I believe that by next year, when these caravans pass the news of the Hua family to Yan State and even further, more caravans will choose to take the Baoyu Pass route. By then, the Hua family can fully enjoy the benefits brought by this trade route.

The Fang family envoy stayed in Gaoliu City for ten days. The other party kept saying that they wanted to release their family members for the sake of the relationship between the two sides. They admitted their mistakes, but when it came to compensation, they didn't pay a penny. Hua Kai guessed that the other party had a trump card, but in the end, the other party didn't show their trump card.

On March 13, the Qinglong Legion sent more than 20,000 members of the Gaoliu Merchant Group through the Beishan area. They didn't encounter any bandits passing through Beishan. It seemed that all the bandits in the mountain had disappeared.

Hua Kai stayed in Gaoliu City until March 15, sorted out the development plan of Gaoliu City in the next year, and explained to his fourth uncle the areas that needed to be made up, especially the establishment of the academy. Hua Kai asked his fourth uncle to keep an eye on it personally.

Arriving at Baoyu Pass, the city wall of Baoyu Pass was under construction. The wall is now more than five meters high and 12 meters wide, which is rare in the entire Central Plains border.

The military camp area inside the pass has begun to be built. The entire military camp is built into a square array of 10 acres, separated by wooden fences. One camp is just right for 1,000 people. There are dormitories, canteens, training areas, stables, racecourses, arena areas, and study areas.

Hua Kai came here to train with everyone. Every morning, he went to a brigade to train with everyone, and then took some people to the [Family Secret Space] for trials. At noon, when the other party was training martial arts, horsemanship, and tactics, Hua Kai went to the stable to upgrade the horses that could be upgraded.

On this day, Hua Kai had just finished the trial of a horse, and Xue Pan came to him and said that the Suzaku Corps had recently begun to strangle wolves everywhere in the pass, and the Beishan bandits had disappeared in the past few days. As the main fighting force of the Hua family, how could the Qinglong Corps stay in the Leopard Jade Pass like this?

"Master, I don't think we can wait for the bandits in Beishan to come out. Aren't there many prisoners of war in Gaoliu City that we have accepted? We can organize some trustworthy prisoners of war to go to Beishan. They are familiar with the terrain of Beishan. If we can occupy Beishan as a base for our family, then Donghu Kingdom will be completely passive. We can attack and defend at the border, and we can really control this trade route in our own hands."

Xue Pan obviously did some research. He was confident that even if he encountered Donghu cavalry, the Qinglong Corps could win the battle.

"Beishan is far from as simple as you think. It is very likely that most of the people there are converted from Donghu cavalry. If we go there openly, we will definitely be discovered by the other side. If we fail, they will seize the opportunity to ambush us." Hua Kai shook his head. If Beishan was so easy to control, who would not want to occupy Donghu Kingdom, Linhu Kingdom, or even Dai, Zhao, and Yan?

"Master, I have talked with many surrendered bandits in Beishan. There are three major forces in Beishan. Donghu occupies the largest one. Of course, there may be troops belonging to Donghu in secret..."

Xue Pan began to introduce the situation in Beishan to Hua Kai. Beishan is actually a small country. This country is composed of more than 300 mountain strongholds. The large mountain strongholds have a population of tens of thousands and a force of more than a thousand. The small bandits have only a hundred people. They have also opened up fields in Beishan. Everyone mainly makes a living by hunting and farming.

Beishan is located in the northernmost area of ​​the Dongling Mountains, like a long fried dough stick. The environment here is relatively cold because there are grasslands on both sides. There are relatively few wild beasts, and there are no monsters or even high-level wild beasts coming here. Therefore, this place has become a paradise for bandits and wolves.

There are their own survival rules here. If the Hua family wants to enter Beishan, or even turn the entire Beishan into a part of Gaoliu County, they must first understand their rules.

"There will be no more than two Xiantian realm masters in Beishan now. You have a divine horse that can fight in the mountains, which is much more useful than ordinary Xiantian masters. If it doesn't work, you can hide in the [family secret space]. Starting tomorrow, you should find more people who are good at swordsmanship, short weapons, and hidden weapons in Gaoliu City and Baoyuguan. Don't let others know what you are going to do. Then bring all the Beishan surrendered bandits you have identified to Baoyuguan. If they are really loyal, this mission to Beishan will be handed over to you." Hua Kai thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Xue Pan entered Beishan. Even if he could not occupy the entire Beishan in the end, he could still pass on some news about Beishan and Donghu Kingdom to the Hua family in Beishan.

In the next few days, many soldiers in Baoyuguan and Gaoliu City disappeared inexplicably. When asked about their whereabouts, they all said that they were going to carry out the mission sent by the head of the family.

More than a thousand people were taken away from the Hua family's coolie camp. These people were sent to a military camp in Baoyuguan. Xue Pan led a hundred members of the Qinglong Corps every day to do ideological work for them. As long as the Hua family's mission did not fail this time, they would be given the status of free citizens in Gaoliu City within three years, and they could bring their families to live in the pass.

This condition is very attractive to many bandits. They are bandits not just to fill their stomachs, but they see the lives of the people in Gaoliu City. If they can be accepted by Gaoliu City, it is worth it even if they risk their lives.

This morning, Hua Kai came to this military camp. Xue Pan knew that Hua Kai was coming and came out with several captains of the Qinglong Corps to greet him.

"How is the matter resolved?" Hua Kai asked.

"The personnel preparation is almost done. There are 114 members of the Qinglong Corps, 619 other infantry members, and 1,345 surrendered bandits. We have a preliminary plan. You come in first, the head of the family." Xue Pan took Hua Kai into a meeting room.

"This is Luo Lin. He used to be the second in command in the Wild Horse Village in Beishan. This time, he brought more than 400 members of the village out and they were all captured by us. With so many of us and Luo Lin's help, it is no problem to take down the Wild Horse Village.

The Wild Horse Village is located in a valley on the east side of Beishan. The area here is about 300 acres and there are about 3,000 people living here..." Xue Pan told Hua Kai about the situation of the Wild Horse Village, but Hua Kai glanced at Luo Lin on the side.

Luo Lin is in the middle stage of the Qi training realm. He looks about 30 years old. His loyalty value is 52 points. This is completely believable. It seems that he also has a story in this Wild Horse Village.

Hua Kai agreed with Xue Pan's suggestion. He checked the lowest loyalty of all Hua family members, which is 73 points. There is no problem at all. Then let Xue Pan bring all the surrendered bandits. These people opened Hua Kai's eyes.
