Chapter 142: Well Deserved

It was sunny for several days, but at night there was a light rain, and the town of Taozhai was shrouded in a rain and fog, with lights everywhere, and there were special people carrying lanterns to patrol the night, which seemed to be quite guarded.

Although the Japanese invaded with all their might, several groups of Japanese invaded behind the front line of Chuansha Town, and even attacked Taozhai Town, but now the strict security is not just for the Japanese invaders.

Outside the tightly closed door of the mansion, Zhang Guerrilla in armor was a little nervous, he didn't know what was going on, but he knew very well that the gang of waste materials behind him would not be able to stop the attack of the more than 100 Qian family guards on the opposite side.

At dusk, Huating Zhixian and the guard Hou Jigao sent a battle report, just outside the city, more than 100 guards of the Qian family confronted more than 100 Japanese invaders, except for one who fled and was killed by Qian Yuan, defeated the Japanese at the cost of three minor injuries, and beheaded thirty-four.

This is a record that has made countless people jaw-dropping.

Faintly hearing the sound of the knife being drawn out of the sheath, Zhang Guerrilla wiped his wet forehead, and he didn't know if it was sweat beads or rain, he gritted his teeth and scolded in his heart, Nie Bao is crazy...... And that Qian Yuan was also crazy, knowing that the other party wanted to arrest you, he actually entered the house alone.

"Boom ......"

The sound of horses' hooves came from around the corner, and the man pulled the reins, and before the horse could stop, he turned over and descended.

Mrs. Wa carefully looked at the guards on the opposite side, Yang Wen and Zhang San were all holding the handle of the knife, half of the knife body had been unsheathed, and the small raindrops hit the knife body and splashed into a cloud of mist, and the more than 100 guards behind had solemn faces, holding knives and guns, although they were not standing neatly, but they did not move at all, which was frightening.

Before Mrs. Wa could exit, more than ten horsemen arrived at the corner, not only Yu Dayou and Li Liangqin, but also Hou Jigao, the general of Huating.

Obviously, although Qian Yuan is just a student, he has no position or name after joining the army, but he is by no means a figure who can move easily, even if he is the secretary of the military department of the dynasty, Nie Shuangjiang.

Li Liangqin, Yang Wen and other guard leaders were familiar with each other in Chongde County, so they walked over quickly and asked in a low voice, "How long have you been in?" ”

"Three quarters of an hour." Yang Wenmu stared at the door of the mansion without squinting, and maintained a state of drawing his knife out of the sheath at any time, "One hour." ”

This is saying that before Qian Yuan leaves the mansion for an hour, they will make a move...... Li Liangqin swallowed hard, "Don't be stupid, if you really want to do it, there are more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in the entire Songjiang Mansion, and the spit can drown you." ”

Hou Ji, who came over, asked in a low voice: "It is said that Shuangjiang Gong suspected Zhancai of lying about his military exploits, and I can testify ......."

"Really?!" Li Liangqin's eyes widened and he turned back and asked, "My body is unharmed, and I have killed more than 30 widows?" ”

"Really, I've seen it with my own eyes." Hou Jigao looked back at the gate of the mansion with admiration, "But even if Shuangjiang Gong doesn't believe it, it won't be ......."

"Needless to say, just wait." Yang Wenwen's voice was interrupted angrily, and his eyes were still staring at the closed door.

There was tension outside the mansion gate, there were many discussions, Old Lady Wa and Yu Dayou's invitations to see were refused, and everyone was anxiously waiting, guessing in their hearts what Nie Bao would do with Qian Yuan.

But in the study room in the mansion, the atmosphere is very strange, at least in Master Zhou's opinion.

On the hill outside Taozhai Town, Nie Bao severely reprimanded and even wanted people to take down Qian Yuan, the Qian family guards did not hesitate to face each other with swords, and the first thing Qian Yuan did after returning to the town was to break into the study and throw himself into the net.

When Master Zhou rolled up the hem of his shirt and rushed into the study all the way regardless of decency, what he saw was a scene of a very happy conversation, the two stood in front of the map with hot tea in their hands and chatted, pointing fingers from time to time to complement each other.

"You are quite proficient in geography at a young age, and this map is well drawn, better than the one in the Zhifu Army." Nie Bao chuckled twice.

"Songjiang, Jiaxing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou are quite familiar, but not much in other places." Qian Yuan squinted at Nie Bao, "I still have one in my study, why don't you give it to Mr. Yu?" ”

"Well, by the way, you can earn favors again." Nie Bao nodded quietly.

From the moment he entered the study and saw Nie Bao, Qian Yuan didn't think about asking for an answer, the matter was obvious, Nie Bao wanted to kick himself away for some reason, and he didn't even deal with it in private but in public, which on the one hand shows that Nie Bao is unwilling to explain the reason for the matter, and on the other hand, it also proves his determination.

"Xu Hai is cunning by nature, and unlike Wang Zhi, he made a living by plundering, and even before Ligang was breached by Wang Minying, he also plundered Wang Zhi's fleet." Qian Yuan stared at the map and said slowly: "But I have to admit that Xu Hai has a very high talent, whether it is naval warfare or land warfare, he is good at setting ambushes, and he is good at leading troops to intersperse, he is clever, and he often makes a sound move." ”

"So the destruction of the military rations in Nansha Town is actually likely to be just a bait thrown out." Nie Bao nodded in agreement, "I have already sent a horse to explore the horse...... Maybe Xu Hai has already set off now. ”

"The courier has sent it, right?"

"Well, Taicang, Suzhou, and Jiaxing have all sent messengers." Nie Bao glanced at Qian Yuan and said with a smile: "I heard that someone ridiculed you before that you want to enter the Fang Division in the future, it's really interesting." ”

"In fact, even if the younger generation doesn't say it, Shuangjiang Gong and General Yu can see it." Qian Yuan shook his head, "Songjiang Mansion now has heavy troops, and it is not once or twice that the Japanese and wolf soldiers have fought each other, and Xu Hai will not come to gnaw on this hard bone." ”

Qian Yuan put down the teacup and pointed his finger at Wusong River: "If you can break through the line of Chuansha Town and Nansha Town, and attack from the west of Wusong River into Taicang Kunshan, it is indeed very dangerous, but in fact, there are guest soldiers stationed nearby, and there are many coastal residents under Xu Hai's subordinates, so it is impossible not to hear any news." ”

"Ren Huan has led the army to garrison Taicang and Kunshan, Lu Bo is in Tongxiang, the wolf soldiers of Shunzhou are near Chongde, and even Wang Chonggu, the deputy envoy of Changzhou Prefecture, is on the other side of the Yangtze River." Nie Bao patted Qian Yuan's shoulder, "See the overall situation in the details, this is exactly the responsibility of the department." ”

"Shuangjiang Gong, don't make trouble." Qian Yuan said expressionlessly: "The juniors don't dare to go to Taizhou until now......"

"Hahaha, your brother-in-law is working well with Jing Chuangong now." Nie Bao motioned to Master Zhou to add hot tea, "You Qian Zhancai has faced the Japanese Kou several times, made a decision to kill, and made many meritorious contributions, presumably Tan Zili will not settle old scores with you anymore." ”

Qian Yuan smiled bitterly twice, changed the topic and asked, "But the military rations have been destroyed, I'm afraid there will be problems with the supply?" ”

Nie Bao's face was as usual, but he couldn't help but reach out and brush his beard, Qian Yuan had already discovered that this was Nie Bao's signature action of embarrassment.

With a long sigh, Qian Yuan had a reluctant expression, "Although Songjiang Mansion has a bumper harvest this year, if you want to let the big households bear the military rations, even if you use the reputation of Shuangjiang Gong as a guarantee, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it." ”

"I went to buy grain in other places, but there is not so much silver in the army, and the Songjiang Mansion Yamen can give a few dollars, and the Governor's Yamen must not care......"

Qian Yuan took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over, "If the front line of Chuansha Town and Nansha Town is safe and sound, with Taozhai Town as the center, it can still make a difference." ”

Nie Baohu took the paper suspiciously and looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but look up at Qian Yuan again, with an extremely complicated expression on his face.

Master Zhou took a look, and couldn't help but change his face, on the paper were three warehouses in Huating County, which contained the fruits of Zhang San's hard work for more than two months, and a large number of foreign sugars.

Long before escorting his family to Hangzhou, Qian Yuan ordered the next two things, one was that Wang Yi stayed to recruit and train guards, and the other was to let Zhang San take a few old people to wash sugar full-time.

Of course, Qian Yuan didn't know if there would be a shortage of food, after all, it was close to the ripening season of rice, but he knew very well that he had no military strategy, and if Nie Bao let himself be involved in the military, the most likely thing would be to sort out the logistics supply.

A large amount of foreign sugar was just Qian Yuan's backhand, and now, this backhand is not needed...... Perhaps, it has already been used.

"The price of foreign sugar is high, the supply exceeds the demand, and it is not sold for money, only for grain." Qian Yuan said slowly: "Taozhai Town is close to Taoxi, connected to Dahuangpu, and the water transportation is convenient, so it should not be difficult to release the news and supply four thousand wolf soldiers in a short period of time, and this matter must be entrusted to Shuangjiang Gong and Mr. Zhou." ”

Nie Bao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly got up and saluted, but Qian Yuan accepted it calmly.

Qian Yuan deserved this gift.

A moment later, a low question came, "Do you have to go?" ”

There was no answer, only silence.
