I Am The Landlord In Another World

Chapter 190: A guerilla attack (1)

The Imperial court had always turned a blind eye to such matters and generally did not care. Zhao zhilong’s defense unit had a few thousand men and was stationed beside a River. The camp was three miles long from east to west and was blocked by wooden fences. There were sentry towers on top of the fences with archers and sentries standing on them. The river gushed away. It was a remote and backward place, but the environment went without saying. It was a place where Immortals cultivated. Tang Wen’s men arrived at three in the afternoon. Chu Zhao had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw Tang Wen, he said,”there’s a guerilla from the military office called ‘ding Zhendong’. Lord Zhao is accompanying him.” “Guerilla is a secondary rank 3 official. What’s the matter with him coming down?” Tang Wen asked. “I’m not sure about that. That’s good. Let’s go in quickly. I’m afraid he’ll leave again.” Chu Zhao shook his head. Thus, Tang Wen entered the central Army camp accompanied by Chu Zhao. This large military tent was donated by Tang Wen. It was where the commander lived. It was very large and could gather dozens of people for a meeting. There were two small rooms inside, a study room and a resting place for the commander. Tang Wen went in and saw Zhao zhilong drinking tea with a middle – aged man. The man had a round face and thick ears. He was dressed in a gorgeous light silver robe. He was wearing a gold crown with Jade embedded in it, a Jade belt around his waist, and a silver robe with gorgeous golden edges. The needlework was meticulous, and the brocade robe was embroidered with images of flying beasts. The images were lifelike, and the workmanship was good. “Reporting to Lord Zhao, Lord Tang Wen, first – Class Earl, has arrived.” Chu Zhao knelt down on one knee and reported. “Which official Tang?” Ding Zhendong looked up and asked. “Hehe, it’s Jiang state’s count, Lord Tang, the Deputy of Jiang state capital’s group training, and the Lord of SuMei Island. However, half of SuMei Island belonged to Jiangzhou, and the other half was under the jurisdiction of Yanling. Lord count, please. ” Zhao zhilong stood up and greeted with a smile. “Ding Zhendong pays his respects to Lord Jue.” Ding Zhendong took a closer look at Tang Wen, probably thinking that he was too inexperienced. However, he had no choice but to stand up and show his respect. However, his actions were very perfunctory. “Sir ding is too polite.” Tang Wen entered with a smile and sat on the first guest chair. “Sir ding, the Earl has a lot of interesting things. You’ll be in for a good time later.” Zhao zhilong laughed. “Hehe, in the provincial capital, I flew in the sky, crawled on the ground, and swam in the sea. What haven’t I eaten?” Ding Zhendong said arrogantly. “Of course. However, what Lord ding is eating is the best food of our Chu State. However, the one that Lord Jue has brought is not from our Chu country. ” Zhao zhilong said. “Oh, where did Sir Jue’s good stuff come from?” Ding Zhendong was stunned and looked at Tang Wen. “The West.” Tang Wen said. “The West is very far away. By the way, I’ve really tasted the West when you talked about it. Some time ago, a friend brought a few bottles of wine. I heard that he came from the West. ” Ding Zhendong laughed. “There are thousands of Western wines. I wonder which one Lord ding would like to drink?” Tang Wen asked. “It’s called something like wine. I think it has another name. Oh, right, something like Zhang Yu dry red wine.” Ding Zhendong said after thinking for a while. “Hahaha ...” Zhao zhilong laughed. “What are you laughing at, Lord Zhao?” Ding Zhenlong was stunned, and he looked at Zhao zhilong. “That wine must have been bought from Lord Jue.” Zhao zhilong laughed. “Sir Jue also sells foreign wine?” Ding Zhenlong was taken aback. “I sell all of the Western wines in Linghai. For example, Shen Xihe from the provincial capital bought a lot from me. I also have many friends, such as Earl Xiao Gai.” Tang Wen replied. “Lord Jue not only has wine, but he also has many other goods. For example, the three – Striped fish, which you’ll cry out for your mother after eating. There’s also tuna ... Lord Bao ding is satisfied.” Zhao zhilong laughed. “Then I won’t leave tonight, I really have to try it.” Ding Zhendong replied. “Butler Luo asked the chef we brought here to make better dishes tonight. We’ll be using Lord Zhao’s territory to entertain the guests. Lord Zhao, is that alright?” Tang Wen said. “Of course you can, I can’t ask for more. Someone, get someone to clear out the kitchen and let Lord Jue’s men handle it. ” Zhao zhilong shouted outside. Tang Wen knew that Zhao zhilong was creating an opportunity for him. This was because Chu country was similar to modern China in that it had a rich cultural atmosphere of drinking. Chu country was also a human society. After drinking a few bottles, it would be much easier to talk about the recruitment later. “Sir ding, some time ago, mo Cloud Camp, ten li from the garrison camp, suffered a natural disaster.” Zhao zhilong said. “Oh? A landslide? Are there any casualties?” Ding Zhendong asked, stunned. “It’s not a landslide, but a stinky water. The water is very sticky, smelly and sticky. After it flowed down, it even seeped into the land. The crops could not be planted, and even the trees and flowers were stuck to death. Mo cloud stronghold had more than a thousand villagers, and that place was uninhabitable. Therefore, they had to move away. It was Lord Tang’s great benevolence and righteousness that accepted them. Otherwise, I’ll really have a headache. After all, mo Cloud Camp has made many contributions to the garrison unit. Regarding this matter, the Yanling County Governor, Zhang Hongjiang, also said that he wanted to ask for credit for Lord Tang. Therefore, all the villagers he took in were converted into battle achievements and recorded in the book. ” Zhao zhilong said. “Lord Jue is benevolent and righteous. You have made such a contribution to the Imperial court, so it is only right for it to be converted into military merits.” Ding Zhenlong nodded.”However, mo cloud stronghold is not far from the garrison camp. That place has been turned into ruins. Would it affect the garrison unit? Take this official to the site to investigate. When we go back, we can also report to the chief commander. Otherwise, if something else happens, we will all get into trouble. ” “Alright, let’s set off now. We can still make it back for dinner.” Zhao zhilong nodded and said,”Lord Jue, you’re a guest. Why don’t we go and take a look together?” “Alright, I have nothing to do. I wanted to come out and hunt. I’ll just take a look.” Tang Wen nodded. Then, the group got on the fast horses and went straight to mo cloud stronghold. After walking for a few miles, a stinky smell came over. Ding Zhendong was stunned and asked,”is this the smell of stinky water?” “That’s right! If there’s a strong wind, the stench will spread to the garrison camp. ” Zhao zhilong said. It took less than half an hour for the fast horse to cover the distance of ten li. Tang Wen took a look forward and saw nothing but black. When he got closer, he found it to be dark brown. Tang Wen almost laughed out loud when he smelled the pungent smell. F * ck, isn’t this oil? Oil was actually coming out from the ground. How much oil was stored underground? Mo cloud stronghold’s houses, fertile land, cultivated land, and grasslands had all been soaked in this dark brown oil. Stepping on it was sticky and could not be cultivated at all. “It’s all ruined. That detestable stinky water.” Ding Zhendong’s face was full of heartache. “The stinky water is still flowing out, and the area is getting bigger and bigger, polluting a large area. Although it’s flowing slowly, if it continues like this, it will definitely flow into the river outside our Garrison camp. At that time, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to keep the garrison unit. ” Chu Zhao said. “I have to quickly find a way to clear them up, surround them, and lure them underground.” Ding Zhendong said with a serious expression. “Such a large area, how many people do you need to clear it out? Furthermore, the war in the Northwest is very tense. Our Garrison camp has already transferred two thousand men, and we don’t have much left. They had to step up their training to prevent enemy invasions. How would I have the time to clean up this stinky water?” Zhao zhilong said with a face full of worry. “Then, we’ll conscript the local soldiers and militia of Yanling.” Ding Zhendong said. “There are not many local soldiers here in the Yanling military group. A large number of disaster victims and rioters have poured in, and they can’t bear the burden. They don’t have the ability to transfer more people. I’ve already mentioned this to Lord Zhang, and he’s also struggling to make ends meet. ” Zhao zhilong shook his head. “It’s all because of the war in the Northwest. It’s not just Yanling, it’s the same everywhere.
