Chapter 223: The Left Route Army Asks for Supplies and Horses

Su Lu listened to Su Ping's report and was a little interested and short of money.

There are too many people in Hades, it's not easy to fight, and the little bandits who respect themselves so much are not interesting to fight.

Su Ping next to him was a little disappointed: "I think back then, I followed my second brother to suppress bandits, and what I killed along the way was a river of blood, as long as it was a bandit with blood on his hands, he would directly cut off his head." ”

The mound also said angrily: "It's a pity that the bandits at that time couldn't help but cut, and the way to transport grain was like today, the bandits didn't dare to take the lead, and they couldn't find anything to do except sleep." ”

"Report, Metropolitan Governor, Left Army Clerk."

A herald rushed up and presented Su Lu with a military booklet.

Su Lu glanced at the herald on a double horse, and asked: "Sun Datou, you are not a bad boy, dare to come here from the left army alone, and you are not afraid that the bandits will arrest you." ”

Sun Datou smiled: "It's okay, I have a talisman, and now the robes of the left army are not afraid of bandits, but the bandits are afraid of us." ”

Chen Si finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded Sun Datou: "What kind of fart did your grandson put out, the bandits are afraid of you, how can they be afraid of you?" ”

Sun Datou laughed: "None of the scouts of our left army have been captured by bandits, but as long as the name of the governor is reported, the bandits will at most rob our property and give us gifts out of the village." ”

A group of guards and civilians all looked at Su Lu in shock, looking like you were pretending to be successful again.

Su Lu frowned, feeling a little wrong, the bandits were afraid that they were normal, and there were a few old bandits in the village who had been cleaned up by themselves, and it was normal to be afraid of themselves, but so many bandits were afraid of themselves, which was a bit wrong.

Isn't there a few fleshy men among the bandits, and the bandits are afraid of themselves like tigers, there must be something wrong with this.

"Governor, I'm still waiting for your reply."

Sun Datou asked Su Lu and said, "Before coming, Governor Zhang Lu specially explained, you must wait for your reply, and the next trip of the Left Route Army depends on your meaning." ”

Su Lu then remembered that he still had a military booklet in his hand, and after reading it carefully, Su Lu thought about it for a while and said.

"Let Zhang Lu go to the camp to resume the camp, just say that the left army has not been fully armoured, the soldiers are too few, the horses are insufficient, and they cannot get out of the customs, so let the camp replenish the horse supplies."

Sun Datou bowed to Su Lu, turned his horse's head, and returned to the left army to resume his life.

The grain team continued to move forward, and ten days later, back to Beiyang, at the gate of Nanguan Daying, Guo Dashan smiled and squinted and joked with Lao Fan.

"Lao Fan, the guy you brought back this time is a bit too much, why, the bandits didn't dare to rob you?"

Lao Fan's black face was full of pride: "What's the matter, you kid is still looking forward to the bandits coming to rob Lao Tzu!" Let me tell you, bandits, let alone robbing, when we meet one of us running faster than the other, we are caught, one by one begging us for mercy, saying that they are not bandits, and they almost swear a curse on the ancestral tablet. ”

The grain team entered the camp, and as usual, it was a handover of materials and documents.

He Congzhi looked at the document and gave Su Lu a thumbs up: "The governor is powerful, he is worthy of being the first general in our northern territory, the bandits don't dare to come to you again, the loss rate of this grain is very low, only half of it, it's good." ”

Lao Fan impatiently urged He Congzhi: "Okay, Lao He, hurry up, the documents have been signed, and we will go." ”

He Congzhi smiled, began to sign the paperwork, and scolded Lao Fan and said:

"You turtle son, in the past, Lao Tzu signed documents quickly, and you kept nagging, but now Lao Tzu signs documents slowly, let you rest for a while, you kid is also this and that."

Lao Fan looked disdainful: "No wonder you can only stay in the Nanguan camp, this has no eyesight, how can a famous general like Hou Ye transport a lifetime of grain with me, sooner or later he will be transferred to a big use, I must take advantage of Hou Ye is still in our baggage camp, transport a few more times of grain." ”

"Don't talk about it, I'm going to rush the progress."

Lao Fan took the handover paperwork and went out of the camp to urge the loading.

He Congzhi looked at Lao Fan's back in surprise, and said in his heart that this grandson looked very grinning, but he didn't expect it to be the same in his heart.

Su Lu said a few words to He Congzhi, handed over the documents and military affairs booklets, and turned around and walked out of the camp.

The camp was noisy, and all those who were loading, pushing, pulling, and clamoring to go to the gate of the camp to see their families had all gathered.

Tudun Er came over with a vegetable soup and steamed buns: "Master Hou, you make do with it, we still can't go back to the city this time." ”

Su Lu took the dry steamed bun, took a bite, and commanded: "The camp battle has started, and we urgently need food, grass, clothing, and armor, we have to transport it quickly, we can't delay it, you tell the brothers, when this mission is over, the manpower is fifty taels of hard silver." ”

Su Ping, who was eating steamed buns next to him, almost threw the steamed buns into the sky, and disagreed: "Second brother, this is too much, and when the time comes, if the reward for the camp is insufficient, we will have to think about it again." ”

Chen Si, who was drinking vegetable soup next to him, hurriedly said: "Master Hou, this silver can't be taken for nothing, Master Hou, you say, what are our brothers going to do?" ”

Su Lu looked at the people who came back from the door with their burdens, and said: "Urge the grain team to speed up, sweep the bandit villages along the road, see why they are so afraid of me, and by the way, I have gathered the brothers' silver." ”

A few guards who eat steamed buns and drink vegetable soup, look at me, I look at you.

Han Daniu asked puzzledly: "Master Hou, don't the bandits say it, they are afraid that you will crush their bones and scatter ashes, so they don't dare to provoke us, your previous reputation is too strong, they are afraid of you." ”

Su Lu looked at Lao Wang, who was carrying the burden and leading his daughter towards him, and said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "If I were a bandit, even if I was afraid of you Su Lu, I wouldn't say it." ”

"And I don't sweep the stockade much, now the stockade we have swept is afraid of me, the one that has not been swept is afraid of me, even the bandits from Lintao to Gongqian Pass are afraid of me, this makes no sense, Lao Tzu has not swept that road."

"There's a problem here."

Su Lu squinted and said.

Lao Wang led Dani over and greeted Su Lu: "Master Hou, this is my daughter, bring it over to you to see you, girl, I haven't seen Master Hou yet." ”

Dani blessed Su Lufu, and her voice was surprised: "Hou Ye, it's really you, you were just a lord before, but now you are a marquis!" ”

Lao Wang slapped Dani on the wrist and scolded: "Pig brain, you, dare to say anything, Hou Ye has made outstanding achievements, and there are naturally rules for promotion." ”

"Master Hou, my family's Da Ni is about to get married, what about the old Huang family opposite, the witness on the official face is a master of our county yamen, I think about it, can I ask Hou Ye to help us assign someone to help Nizi witness the marriage."

"There are too few people I know in my old Wang, and I can't find a bigger official than you, Master Hou, can you help us find a master book to marry Nizi?"

The wrinkles on Lao Wang's face were like ravines, looking at Su Lu, trying to squeeze a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a thick exhaustion and worry.

Dani looked at Su Lu timidly, her cheeks full of anticipation.

Su Lu nodded and said casually: "Okay, I'll go back and give you a marriage certificate." Well, in case, I said that in case I can't come back, you take my jade pendant to Tang County Ling and ask him to give you a marriage certificate. ”

Su Lu said, took out a jade pendant, and wanted to give Dani as a certificate.

Lao Wang slapped Dani's hand down: "You really dare to ask for a dead girl, this is Hou Ye's thing, Hou Ye said that he can give you a marriage certificate, and what else do you need Tang County Order, stupid." ”

Dani glanced at her father depressedly.

Lao Wang smiled, the loss in his eyes disappeared, the whole person seemed to be dyed with a layer of light, and the tone of his speech became lighter.

"Master Xie, Lao Wang is grateful, he will become a guard in the future, he will work hard and live up to your expectations."
