Taozhai Town.

Putting the brush on the pen stand, Nie Bao got up and pushed open the door and walked under the eaves, the continuous drizzle came to his face, and when he listened to it, he could faintly hear the chaotic noise, mixed with incomprehensible barbarian language.

In the midst of the rain, Master Zhou, who was wearing a hat, came in a hurry, his steps were swift but his face was relaxed, "Dong Weng, everything has been arranged, and it is really a loss to prepare in advance, otherwise the wolf soldiers will not adapt to the water and soil and suffer from the rain, but I am afraid that I will get sick." ”

Nie Bao nodded slightly, looked around, and vaguely heard the Qian family outside the gate commanding loudly, and saw several guards smiling and raising the soup bowl and drinking it all.

Three days ago, before the Governor Yamen dispatched soldiers and horses to Taozhai Town, the four thousand Tianzhou wolf soldiers had already set up camp nearby.

Nie Bao was surprised by Qian Yuan, who arrived with the wolf soldiers, and in his busy schedule, he had also thought that this famous Huating Xiucai should not return to this Taozhai Town, which was likely to become the land of the Four Wars.

It took all the effort to escape, how could he go to the place of death again?

In this regard, Nie Bao was not disappointed, but felt sorry for it, and regretted that this young talent who might become a pillar of talent in the future lacked some blood courage.

Therefore, the current Nie Bao is a little inexplicably moved, and he has not felt such emotions for a long, long time.

But Nie Bao still doesn't like this young man very much, he has never figured out this guy's mind.

"Shuangjiang Gong." Qian Yuan, who was wearing a hat, hurriedly ran to the eaves, picked up a gourd scoop and scooped a bowl of ginger soup from the bucket and handed it over, "Don't worry, General Yu has already sent someone to send it over." ”

Nie Bao took the bowl and stared at it a few times before raising it and taking a few sips, before the wolf soldiers arrived, Qian Yuan had already sent people to collect ginger in Huating County, which was a great help.

"The wolf soil soldiers are under the command of Yu Dayou, how is the arrangement over there?"

"I don't know." Qian Yuan replied very neatly, "The juniors have no name, and the second has no subordinates...... When it comes to the army, where will Mr. Yu sell me this face? ”

Seeing that Nie Bao's face had not changed, Qian Yuan continued: "Now some of the four thousand wolf soldiers are in Taozhai Town, and the rest are scattered to several nearby villages, and now the trouble is food. ”

Master Zhou on the side smacked his lips but didn't say anything, the supply of 3,000 guest soldiers under Yu Dayou had already worried the Songjiang prefect before, and now there were 4,000 more soldiers all of a sudden, and the governor's yamen would not give any subsidies...... The only way now is for Nie Bao to use his personal prestige to persuade the big families of Songjiang Mansion to donate money and grain.

Qian Yuan didn't care, put on a hat, raised his hand to say hello, and left the house with his entourage.

After going around in various places and earning a lot of favors, Qian Yuan returned to his residence and beckoned Wang Yi and Zhang San.

"It's been three full days, now let's talk about it." Qian Yuan wiped his hair and said, "Let's talk about the guards first." ”

"Eighty-seven people were summoned, plus the previous total of one hundred and eight." Wang Yi, who had been staying in Taozhai Town to recruit people, reported carefully, and finally said: "The small one and Yang Wen and Zhang Sanfen lead the three teams. ”

"One hundred and eight generals." Qian Yuan sat down and took out the piece of paper from the table, "This formation...... Lao Wang, you've seen it before, tell me about it. ”

"It's hard to say." Wang Yi hesitated for a while before saying: "It is completely different from the usual formation of the border army, and the biggest problem is the flank...... However, in the land south of the Yangtze River, if you don't encounter a wide area of flat land, and the other side doesn't have cavalry that can quickly break through from the flanks, maybe it will work. ”

Qian Yuan carefully looked at the mandarin duck array he had taken out of his mind in his previous life, and patted his head worriedly, he had also discovered this problem.

It is said that the Mandarin Duck Formation is powerful, but no formation is perfect, and the flanks of the Mandarin Duck Formation are very obvious weaknesses, at least in the relatively flat area of Songjiang.

Qian Yuan once again confirmed that he did not have the military talent to directly command the battle, and sighed and said, "The wolf tooth whisk has already been done, right?" ”

"Well, I made more than 20 of them." Wang Yi smiled: "This thing is a bit interesting, except that it is a little bulky, it is very effective...... There are ten wolf teeth in the front, and the back can basically stand on its heels. ”

Qian Yuan smiled and didn't say anything, history has proven the role of the wolf tooth whire, in Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck array, the most important and the only one who can control the situation is the wolf tooth whire.

"Training is your business, I only need one request." Qian Yuan looked at Wang Yi and said in an accentuated tone: "Don't mess up when you encounter the enemy, don't let the Japanese cut us down one by one from behind our buttocks." ”

"Of course, if we are by the side of Shuangjiang Gong, there is not much chance of encountering the Japanese Kou." Qian Yuan turned his head to look at Zhang San, "What about you here?" ”

"Huating County and Taozhai Town have already piled up two houses." Zhang San frowned and said, "Young Master, do you want to continue?" ”

"Go on."

"There may not be enough silver." Zhang San smiled bitterly.

"This time, I brought a lot of them from Hangzhou, and I sent someone to Taicang Wang's house, and the dividends in the past few months have not been delivered, so I want to repay the debt." Qian Yuan casually ordered: "If you want to take advantage of me, I don't think Wang Min should have the courage!" ”

The three of them were still talking in the study, when suddenly there was a shouting sound from outside the door, and the two knives strode in, "Brother Qian, look what this is!" ”

"Oh, where did you get it...... It's pheasants, and rabbits! Qian Yuan smiled and patted the two knives, "Old Zhong, do you want to come to fight the tooth sacrifice?" ”

"No, no, no, I'll give it to you." The second knife waved his hand, "If it weren't for the ginger you sent this time, I'm afraid that many people will be seriously ill. ”

"I'll have people clean up, wait and cook it myself, don't go, have a drink in the evening." Qian Yuan pulled the two knives and sat down, "How is the old lady over there?" ”

"Hey, I'm worried." The second knife smiled bitterly: "This rain is endless, wait for the rain to stop before you can go to Chuansha, it is said that the general soldier Yu and the Japanese have fought several battles in front, and they have suffered a little loss?" ”

"I don't know." Qian Yuan shook his head, "The combat strength of the Huguang soldiers is also average, but I'm afraid it depends on you." ”

"The brothers below are in a hurry, cut off a few more heads in exchange for silver."

"Take your time, this battle is only afraid of protracted."

The second knife hesitated for a while, leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you under Lord Nie's account?" ”

"yes."

The second knife twisted his body and said angrily: "But before the old lady visited Lord Nie, it is said that you have no job?" ”

Qian Yuan smiled and didn't care, "After all, you're young." ”

Such a situation was expected by Qian Yuan.

Although the relationship between Qian Yuan and Nie Bao has eased a lot when they go to Taozhai Town again, there is still some estrangement between them.

There was no way, Nie Bao put Qian Yuan together before, and almost forcibly summoned Qian Yuan into the account to accompany the army.

Qian Yuan is not a good bird either, first by being called into the army, he solved the annoying clansmen by the way, and then put Nie Bao with his backhand, Shi Shiran went to Hangzhou, and now he has returned to Taozhai Town...... Nie Bao felt that he was completely being played by the other party.

Of course, this is likely to be Qian Yuan's belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain......

However, the fact is that Qian Yuan showed his ability, hooked up four thousand wolf soldiers to Songjiang Mansion to greatly increase his strength, and had an excellent personal relationship with the leader of the wolf soldiers, and also donated a large amount of ginger at a critical moment.

But Nie Bao still didn't give Qian Yuan any title, nor did he let him be in charge of any specific affairs, and he didn't even give him the name of contacting Yu Dayou.

Qian Yuan once thought so in his heart, either Nie Bao deceived his name and stole the world, or there was another reason.
