The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 979 - 955: Supply Replenishment

At the same time, Jiang Xiaoxiao began a large-scale campaign against bandits with her subordinates.

Yes, going all the way through the surrounding areas.

The villagers from Li Family Village almost wiped out dozens of mountain strongholds, capturing thousands of troops.

Unless their crimes are unforgivable, they are executed on the spot as a warning to others.

Those bandits without significant evil deeds, who haven't committed serious offenses, were recruited by Jiang Xiaoxiao.

A month later, the reputation of the Jiang Family Army was already well-known beyond Yanmen Pass.

Under Jiang Xiaoxiao's command, there were over ten thousand people.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was troubled; she had the men and horses, but there was no place to house them.

The two villages, Li Family Village and Lin Family Village, together had limited land and housing. These bandits, once captured and willing to change for good, had nowhere to be accommodated.

Jiang Xiaoxiao discussed this with Li Yu for a long time.

What should they do now?

Her gaze turned towards the county town. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The town of Huai'an County could accommodate eighty thousand people.

The town's garrison consisted of only one thousand troops.

The court has long been in chaos.

With the Red Flame Army causing havoc in the south and the Golden Army invading cities and territories in the north.

Now, it's a complete mess, and each prefecture struggled to protect themselves, while the court concentrated its forces on quelling the rebels in both areas.

Their location was essentially unmanaged.

Although there were troops stationed at the border, they would not easily move, as they mainly defended against foreign invasions across the border.

They wouldn't care about what these people were doing.

If there was no report to the county office, it was basically unknown.

This was the problem of delayed information.

The important thing was, Jiang Xiaoxiao also had her sights set on Yanmen Pass.

This was not just Jiang Xiaoxiao's idea; even if she had this ambition, she wouldn't have the guts, as Yanmen Pass was a proper city.

There were at least tens of thousands of border warriors stationed there.

Targeting Yanmen Pass was not just a wild fantasy, but this idea came from Li Yu.

Li Yu said that although he was not familiar with the new senior commanding officer temporarily assigned there by the emperor, these military appointments represented some faction within the court due to internal conflicts.

However, the good news was, through their intelligence network filtration.

It was discovered that many centurions and captains under this garrison were originally dispersed soldiers from the forces once led by Mr. Jiang, placed in various camps to undermine Elder Jiang's influence and the power he had once held.

That's why they were scattered, so that these people would no longer have any means to cause trouble, but unexpectedly, these circumstances now turned into their most advantageous opportunity.

After all, these were once the most valiant warriors, and having experienced such treatment, how could they not harbor resentment? And once these people coalesce into a force, it is a power sufficient to overturn everything.

Besides, they have been in the army for many years, and even if dispersed, they have long integrated with the current soldiers.

After all, it has been many years.

Anyway, these people should have cultivated some influence there.

In this way, if they were to accept these troops, these tens of thousands would become the strongest backbone of their force.

How to make them surrender is a question.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't stop for a moment.

The troops she had, over ten thousand strong, were now trained into a formidable iron warrior army.

The most joyous event happened a few days ago, when the Nothing Flower in Jiang Xiaoxiao's space finally matured.

When large fields of Nothing Flower matured, it immediately benefited Number Nine.

After absorbing more Nothing Flower, Nine, invigorated, could transport Jiang Xiaoxiao back.

Upon returning to her world, the first thing Jiang Xiaoxiao did was seek out Jin Dachuan.

She had already sent her daughter and five bodyguards back, so Jin Dachuan must have received the news.

Since she was going to organize an army for a grand uprising, she needed weapons.

Despite that era being one of cold weaponry, she needed some hot weapons.

Firearms like gunpowder still played a critical role in wars during the cold weapon era.

Jiang Xiaoxiao certainly lacked the means to acquire such things, even though she could get medical equipment, medical instruments, various medical supplies, acquiring state-banned weapons was akin to dreaming.

When she found Jin Dachuan and said she needed those items, Jin Dachuan's gaze at her was hard to describe.

The main issue was Jin Dachuan didn't know where exactly Jiang Xiaoxiao had gone, and even the five bodyguards who returned had lost all memory.

After returning, the five bodyguards had their memories erased directly by Song Ziyuan, which means they couldn't clarify where they went or what they did; they knew nothing and were clueless about it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao opened her mouth asking for these things in such quantities, clearly intending to start a major war.

In times of peace, what was Jiang Xiaoxiao planning to do?

Jin Dachuan wondered if the incident with her comrade's coma was provoking Jiang Xiaoxiao, causing her to turn against society and humanity.

Revenge against society!

After Jiang Xiaoxiao repeatedly assured there was absolutely no intention of starting any war.

Jin Dachuan, based on trust in Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting, agreed, knowing them for many years; both were genuinely good people.

Having never done anything outrageous, especially Jiang Xiaoxiao, she was a good person among good people.

Curing and saving lives might be the most important thing in Jiang Xiaoxiao's mind; he believed that a doctor would not harm human society.

Helping Jiang Xiaoxiao obtain what she needed.

Jin Dachuan did things with a heavy heart.

Jiang Xiaoxiao then prepared a large batch of the supplies and medical items she needed, all thanks to selling the Crystal Stones in her space.

These Crystal Stones, in this world, were superior diamonds; Nine could directly help her exchange them, lacking no money.

After Jiang Xiaoxiao brought back the equipment and supplies, they were enough to arm her ten-thousand-man army, and especially 500 selected for specialized training.

When these people first witnessed the power of gunpowder.

Even Li Yu was terrified.

They had seen cannons; their official household had cannons, earthen-made ones prone to bursting, with limited range.

Quite useless, though not without some power.

But what Jiang Xiaoxiao brought out was not at the same level.

Light and seemingly not weighing much.

But with just one throw, half the village hill behind them was blown apart.

Who would dare underestimate the power of such things?

Upon seeing these items, Li Yu was overjoyed; with the addition of these small cannons, their army's combat power was greatly enhanced, and even tall city walls could not withstand the attack of such small cannons.

Didn't see the mountain being half blown apart, the walls, were they more solid than mountains?

With such combat power, what was Yanmen Pass?
