"Thank you Master Gu for your advice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info[燃^ζ–‡^δΉ¦εΊ“][]. [774] [buy]. []【Book Library(7764)】" Yin Lei hurriedly thanked him.

"If we're lucky, we might be able to get two mounts here." Looking at Ju Changling not far away, Gu Lingpo suddenly said something that made Yin Lei and the others happy.

"Master Gu, this town is not big, can there be a seller of mounts?" Yin Lei couldn't help asking, but then he noticed the smile on Zhang Baoju's face on the other side, and knew that he had said the wrong thing again.

Fortunately, Gu Lingpo may be in a good mood, this time he did not reprimand Yin Lei but said slowly: "I remember that we have stationed a cavalry team of 100 people here since last month, but I haven't been here recently, and I don't know if they have extra horses." ”

After listening to Master Gu's words, although Yin Lei still had a lot to ask, he wisely closed his mouth.

Juchangling is really a small town, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a relatively large village. Entering the town, under the leadership of Gu Lingpo, the three of them went directly to the west, passing through two streets with few pedestrians, and the three of them went out of the town from the west, and built a simple wooden guardrail in the west of the town only a few dozen zhang away. ”

"The three of Gu Lingpo, Xuanyuan Zongheng, and Zhang Baoju have visited, and please inform Mr. Bai."

"Please wait a moment, and I'll go and inform your lordship."

As he spoke, there was a sound of footsteps, and someone ran in. After a while, a burst of messy footsteps came, and then several figures appeared on the guardrail, only to hear a loud voice and say loudly: "Is it Brother Gu who came?" Why haven't these two Wangs heard of it? ”

"It turned out to be Brother Wang's team, and it was dark that Gu didn't see Brother Wang's banner clearly, please forgive me. Recently, we have recruited a lot of recruits in the camp, these two are the companions who came out with Gu this time, this is the waist card of the three of me, and I also ask Brother Wang to ....... ”

"Brother Gu is too polite, brother for so many years, although it is dark, as long as Brother Gu speaks, Wang will hear your voice, come, open the door quickly."

As the Lord Wang stopped, the soldiers who had been prepared opened the wooden door and lowered the drawbridge, and the Lord Wang on the guardrail also quickly stepped down the guardrail to greet him.

After Gu Lingpo and this Lord Wang met, they naturally had a burst of politeness, and then this Lord Wang found out that something was wrong, the three of them only rode one horse, which is not normal, looking at Lord Wang's suspicious expression, Gu Lingpo said about the loss of the horse, and then asked: "Brother Wang is stationed here, can you see those two people from the north on horseback this afternoon?" ”

"Lao Lin, who is fortifying the town today, go and call him."

"Yes, sir." One of the guards beside Lord Wang immediately turned around when he heard this.

"Brother Gu, we are also about to have dinner, I still have some good wine here, let's go, our brothers have a few drinks, and you can also introduce these two little brothers to me."

"Brother Wang is too polite, if it is usual, of course Gu Mou will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman and Brother Wang not to get drunk and not return, but not today, since Gu Mou was asked to take these two recruits, Gu Mou can't teach nothing, right, so let's take them around here first, and point out the rules of their camp fortification, otherwise the two of them didn't learn anything this time, and it wouldn't be good for me to go back, right?"

One of the responsibilities of the team is to be responsible for inspecting the dangers and protective facilities, the construction of the barracks has certain requirements, there must be a certain space between the house and the guardrail, there shall be no building debris within a few zhang under the guardrail or the city wall, so that it is convenient to prevent fire, and it is also convenient to transport things to the guardrail or the city wall in the war, this is a small camp of 100 people, if it is a camp garrisoned by a large army, the fireproof belt of about ten zhang should be kept between the camps, and there should be protective facilities such as rejecting horses at the city wall, The construction of the whole camp should not be too low to prevent the enemy's water attack and not too high, in short, camping is a great knowledge, and the camp is responsible for inspecting these, which is also the main reason for the discord between the camp and the patrol camp.

"This ......, okay, what Brother Gu said is reasonable, Wang also accompanies Brother Gu, let's go have a few drinks together when we're done."

As he spoke, Gu Lingpo walked to the left along the camp gate they had just entered, and said as he walked: "You see that there is a space of about five zhang between this guardrail and the barracks, if it is a large city wall, the distance is even larger, and a large number of people and vehicles will pass through here during the defense of the city, so as not to have enemies hiding near the city wall; You see that the distance between the barracks is at least one zhang, in case of fire, it will not burn to other places, most of the camps we build outside the march and war are wooden camps, so we are most afraid of fire, fire prevention is listed as our main goal, if tens of thousands of troops are encamped together, the distance between each guard's camp must not be less than ten zhang, close is not conducive to fire prevention, far away may allow the enemy to exploit loopholes, generally speaking, such a small camp in the construction of a month to dig the outside of the simple moat, You all saw it when we came just now, there is a moat outside the guardrail, and the moat is more effective than rejecting horses, and generally only short-term camps use rejecting horse .......

As he was talking, a soldier ran over quickly, and when he saw this person coming, Wang Baizong immediately said: "Lao Lin, can you see someone riding by the town this morning?" ”

"Back to my lord, someone passed by on horseback, but they didn't enter the town, but walked around the town."

After listening to Lao Lin's words, Mr. Wang Bai frowned and said, "Brother Gu, it seems that they also found out that you are riding a military horse, and these two should be familiar with the situation here, and know that we are stationed here, so they took a detour." ”

"Yes, these two people seem to be heading towards Fufu Town, as long as they enter the city, they won't be able to run, so don't worry about them for now."

In this way, Yin Lei and Zhang Baoju followed behind Gu Lingpo, Gu Lingpo pointed and pointed as he walked to teach the two of them these basic knowledges, and Wang Baizong's expression gradually became nervous.

"Brother Gu, it's almost enough, the wine and food in it are almost cold, and the disciples don't teach it in a day, right?"

After listening to Lord Wang's words, Gu Lingpo's face showed a smile, he knew that there was going to be a show, "Brother Wang, don't worry, isn't this almost over?" If Brother Wang is hungry, go back first, we ....... ”

"Brother Gu said this, I will see the outside, Wang is just afraid that you will be in a hurry, and I want Brother Gu to eat and wash and rest as soon as possible, not to mention these two steps, we are usually more tired than this, we fought with the Ziyun army for two days and one night in Taiping Town, and we didn't survive.

"Yes, Brother Wang's courage Gu really admires, it seems that Brother Wang has been promoted to President Bai since then, right?"

"Yes, it's been more than ten years, but Brother Gu still remembers."

"You have to pay attention, in winter the trees are dry and the most likely to catch fire, if someone attacks the city, they will definitely attack it with fire first, so we stipulate that in this kind of wooden guardrail, a simple well must be drilled within fifty zhang or a large amount of fire must be stored to prepare for extinguishing the fire.

Listening to Gu Lingpo's words, Wang Baizong's face immediately turned three points white, and he hurriedly took two steps forward and said: "Brother Gu, forgive me, our sentence Changling is on a hill, we tried to dig a moat outside, and there was no water when we dug more than two zhang deep, and there was only two wells five or six zhang deep in the whole town, Brother Gu, you also know that it was the end of September when we arrived here, and the weather was already very cold. I was about to go to the town to transport some water, but I didn't expect you to arrive first, Brother Gu. ”

Frowning slightly, Gu Lingpo's face sank: "Brother Wang, it's not that the brothers are unsympathetic, the fire prevention in this camp is the first priority, especially in winter, it is even more important, haven't you heard that 'the merit is better than the rescue, and the poison is better than the lack of food'?" Even a million army is afraid that a fire will burn the military rations, and you are also a veteran for more than ten years, how can you still make such a mistake? ”

After listening to Gu Lingpo's words, Wang Baizong's face turned three points whiter, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Gu, Wang Mou also thought about taking water first, this winter water is not easy to store and easy to freeze, brothers' daily heating, diet, etc. have already made me busy, and I also asked Brother Gu to take care of one or two, Wang promised that he would not do anything tomorrow, and he would definitely solve the matter of water storage first." ”

As the so-called current official is not as good as the current management, if Gu Lingpo reports this matter, he will be fined for at least a month, if he is unlucky, it may be more serious, even if he loses his office. After speaking, Mr. Wang Bai raised his head and looked at Gu Lingpo, only to see Gu Lingpo's brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something, and leaned over Gu Lingpo slightly: "Brother Wang, our brothers have not known each other for a day, it's not that Gu doesn't give you face, just like you, if Gu doesn't report it, it's a big mistake, and it doesn't seem to be lighter than your fault, this ......." ”

"Brother Gu, I think it's really inconvenient for the three of you to only have one horse, we still have a few spare war horses here, it's better for the younger brother to be the master and give two horses to Brother Gu, you see that I don't have any water in reserve here, it's just a little less, can't I just make up for it tomorrow?"

Mr. Wang Bai hurriedly took two steps forward with a smile and said, his words pushed off most of the responsibility, less water and no water are two different things. Although he laughed with him, anyone could see that he was in pain, and the war horse was also extremely precious to him, and he was easily reluctant to give it away. When they first met, he knew that Yin Lei and they were missing two war horses, but he didn't say anything about sending them off, and he didn't say anything about sending them off until he couldn't do it.
