Wu Qingying was nervous and excited.

She didn't know what a bridgehead was, but she believed that Li Ran didn't deceive people.

Say it's an opportunity, that's an opportunity!

"What should I do?"

This girl has a courage that is not commensurate with her age, and she is developing more and more towards Wu Zetian's template.

"If the army going north rests here, they will buy a lot of necessities for the rest of the fortress, such as the personal clothes of the soldiers, water bottles, etc., in short, it is not harmful to collect daily necessities."

Li Ran smiled, "Of course, the premise is that you have to invest, prepare the materials in place before the army is assembled, and the soldiers are very fast, once my father-in-law's operation to send troops to the Turks begins, the army will definitely take speed as the king, and there won't be much time to delay here, and the opportunity left for you is to use the shortest time to supply the most sufficient materials." ”

Wu Qingying's head suddenly grew big, and she was stunned when she heard the word 'investment'.

In order to relocate the fiefdom, she has already emptied her family funds, if she wants to invest again, she has to use the family property, which is bound to persuade Wu Chengxun and Wu Congqian, and it will take time to come and go.

"You have about half a day to think about it, and if you want to place a bet, you have to hurry."

Li Ran kindly reminded her, reading that she had been very obedient recently, and accentuated her tone, "You don't have to worry about losing money, I promise." ”

In war, the bridgehead is a typical high-risk and high-reward, no exceptions...... For example, in later generations, a certain island country was about to be smashed by eggs, and a war in the Far East quickly brought it back to life.

Wu Qingying was shocked.

Li Ran rarely uttered the word 'guarantee'...... Even the last time she besieged the city to quell the rebellion, she didn't make such a promise when she took Xian Hui'er out of the city.

"Okay, I'll start preparing right away!"

She gritted her teeth, accepted it all, and prepared a salute resolutely, and rushed back to Luoyang in the starry night to persuade Wu Chengxun and Wu Congqian.

The martial family really shouldn't die, and with this woman, it will definitely be able to keep the family peaceful for half a lifetime.

Li Ran quickly appreciated the execution of a feudal dynasty.

Once the old man has made up his mind, he will be efficient in doing things...... An army of 8,000 men was quickly assembled.

The number of people was a little smaller than expected, but the equipment was called a well-equipped.

Each man started with a flintlock pistol, and also carried a fine iron sword, a commando spear, and a new hard leather armor, and a man and two horses, so that he had nothing to say.

This elite soldier is enough to stop more than 50,000 ordinary soldiers!

If you play it right, you can even be defeated!

Their whereabouts are very secretive, and they set off in sections, claiming to change their guards normally.

Ashina Qiyun said that there are internal ghosts at the top of the imperial court, so they should act according to the highest configuration to deal with internal ghosts...... Li Xian's alertness is equally commendable.

The army was eventually assembled in the samurai's new fiefdom.

"Immortal Master, when I see you, I will feel at ease."

Wang Xiaojie, whose beard and hair were all gray, was in good spirits, and he personally held the handsome flag to line up in the Chinese army, and he had the feeling of being an old man.

The rest of the lieutenants are all in place, and the configuration is completely in accordance with Li Ran's requirements, without any discount.

Wu Qingying rushed back to the station ten days ago, bringing a rich investment...... She persuaded the martial arts family to stud this battle!

In return, Li Ran also mobilized a small amount of scarce resources of Cheng Ji through the logistics intelligence site, such as bandages and alcohol for disinfection, etc., which should be an additional layer of protection for the medical conditions of Datang soldiers.

Everything was ready, and Li Ran couldn't think of a reason why this expedition would fail.

Unless you get out of the jam, you will encounter force majeure factors such as a once-in-a-millennium snowstorm...... However, he did not believe that he was a non-chief.

So of course, I cheered Wang Xiaojie up.

"I have divined a hexagram for the old general and all the soldiers, and the gods have shown that in this battle, our Tang Dynasty will be victorious, and I will prepare a celebration banquet for you here, and I wish you an early return."

Boost the incentive, in the name of the gods.

All the generals were convinced, and the atmosphere suddenly increased several degrees, and the crowd was full of enthusiasm and morale.

"Okay, since the immortal master said so, I'll prepare to go on the expedition immediately."

"The old general's marching method is good, divide into the encirclement, minimize the time for the large army to gather together, avoid being discovered by the Turks prematurely, how to take the specific marching route, I helped you find a guide."

Li Ran smiled and called out Ashina Qiyun behind him.

“…… Immortal master, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, although this guy is sincere, but he has not accepted the name, I am not suspicious, but the old man does not dare to believe his words. ”

A straightforward soldier like Wang Xiaojie has some natural contempt for traitors, even if the other party is sincere to his side.

"Vote? That thing is useless against the ruthless. ”

Li Ran shook his head, "I believe in Brother Qiyun because he believes in my philosophy, and the power of my belief is much stronger than voting for a name." ”

Wang Xiaojie was suddenly embarrassed, Li Ran had such a serious face, he had never seen it.

"That being the case, the veteran will take the order."

Before leaving, the emperor specially explained that after the army set off, listen to Li Ran's opinion, and the veteran will carry out the instructions to the letter.

"Then, let's go, don't worry about supplies, I have prepared supplies for you for at least thirty days, of course, according to the rules, in the name of the army."

Datang has a precedent for collecting civilian supplies, and Wang Xiaojie has no objection.

Wu Qingying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this purchase gave her a reassurance, with the first business, the follow-up material supply will also fall on her head, and she will make a steady profit.

The soldiers were fast, and after a brief meeting, Wang Xiaojie led the army to set off.

Wu Qingying, on the other hand, increased investment and built simple houses around the station for the next batch of soldiers to live in, which can be regarded as providing security for migrant workers.

The mine and smelter were completed ahead of schedule, and as the roar of the machine that Li Ran had spent a lot of money to make, a steady stream of materials came out like a fairy.

Most of the migrant workers who were called in left after receiving their wages, but a small number of them were eager to stay...... Wu Qingying posted an announcement that as long as the migrant workers who are willing to leave their household registration here, they can be given double the settling-in allowance.

"If there is no city, you can build one, and there is no natural city in the world, or in other words, where there are people, there is a city."

Li Ran's words were kept in her ears, and she didn't know what this barren mountain could develop.

A month later, the number of migrant workers who settled down plus the number of samurai families was close to 3,000, and after witnessing the changes in this land, Li Ran decided to give Wu Qingying a small gift.

It can be regarded as a small proof of his blood after ore mining.

A piece of paper...... Before the old man officially appointed the assassin of Hedong Province, he was still the local chief official, so it became a new county seat, and no one would object.

"Wu County?"

When Wu Qingying received the official document, the whole person's head was down for a few seconds.

"Well, to be exact, it is a county directly under the rule of Hedong Province, I know that the direct jurisdiction is a new term, which roughly means that this place is not under the jurisdiction of the county system, and directly obeys the orders of the capital of Hedong Province, and the word Wu is the surname of your martial family, I hope you don't go all the way to the black like your father, and you are worthy of this word."

Li Ran smiled and gave another official document.

After Wu Qingying spread out, she received a double blow.
