Chapter 474: Horse Bandit Howling Wolf
Chapter 474: Horse Bandit Howling Wolf
After Lai Yao left, Lu Shangqing walked out from behind the screen. Li Huaitang's decision was incomprehensible, and he was also worried about it, Xiao Bolu he had been there, the road was difficult, the terrain was dangerous, the army was inconvenient to walk, and the biggest problem was that the supply of grain and grass could not be supplied.
"General, are we really going to fight Little Bolu? Is it not thoughtful? ”
Li Huaitang said with a smile: "Xiao Bolu doesn't have any oil and water, and it's not worth our labor, I'm looking for it, Master Lu needs a lot of labor to build roads, the more the better, last year we let go of the five senses, it's time to harvest." ”
"Five Senses? Isn't the general's target a little Boru? Lu Shangqing was shocked. Throughout the night, the generals' topics were focused on little Bolu, and the general ordered the generals, and the wolf fang opened the way first, followed by the army.
"I want both fish and bear's paws, haha." Li Huaitang laughed.
Lu Shangqing seemed to have guessed something, and just wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Li Huaitang waving his hand.
"You don't have to pay attention to this matter for the time being, you are ready to go back to Liangzhou in a few days." What always made Li Huaitang remember was the servant solid department, he didn't want to cause trouble, but the well water came to interfere with the river water, and actively preparing for war became the only thing he could do.
The servant unit is in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it is unrealistic for the army to requisition, but it does not mean that Li Huaitang will let them go, he does not have the habit of being beaten in vain and not fighting back. It is not good for the large army to go together, so the ants will move, and the teams will drive over and establish a base on the vast grassland first.
Lu Shangqing is a native of Liangzhou and is familiar with the environment, and in Li Huaitang's plan, Lu Shangqing's detachment is the advance team, which will play the role of horse bandits and become a sharp knife planted by the Ningyuan forces near the Fugu tribe. With Lai Yao's assistance, I believe that Lu Shangqing's belongings will soon grow, and when he gains a firm foothold, he will gradually send troops to strengthen his strength, and the day of blood debt and blood repayment is not far away.
It is unrealistic to expect the Tang Dynasty to hand over the first evil, and it is estimated that those who will be sent to Ningyuan City will only be scapegoats. The broom is not reached, and the dust is not removed. The enemy chieftain will not die for a day, and the threat to Ningyuan will always exist, especially the Ningyuan caravan passing through Hexi. Secretly laying forces in Liangzhou is not only a threat, but also can play a role in containing the servant troops and protecting the caravan.
There were only two topics on the agenda of the military meeting all night, and the first one to be discussed was to set up chess in Hexi, which shows how much Li Huaitang attaches importance to this. It is undoubtedly an honor to be able to obtain a task that is valued by the general, but there are exceptions.
Providence has always been difficult to ask, once upon a time, Lu Shangqing, who was a scholar, had always disdained to get ahead with martial arts, and after a lot of tossing and turning, he entered the ranks and made a name that he didn't dare to imagine in the past; The joke of fate has no intention of stopping, it seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and he actually let him become a horse bandit, a profession that he has cursed and spat on countless times!
"General, yes, can you change people, Lao Lu, I'm a Sven." Lu Shangqing blushed, and the reasons he gave were as weak as he said he was.
Li Huaitang ignored it directly, and he didn't know how active he was when he went to the battlefield to cut off his head, and his madness was no worse than that of any thug.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll let you add a few more fat and ugly Hu Niang to your family." You can't reason with the so-called Sven people, and being arrogant and domineering is more effective than anything. Li Huaitang knows this well.
Ugly Hu Niang is a pain in Lu Shangqing's heart, they definitely belong to the kind of people who look disgusting, think about sadness, and feel at ease at home, but they can't be abandoned, the general's strict order must treat them like family heirlooms, and it is issued in the name of military orders.
With reluctance, with black lines on his face and slander, Lu Shangqing walked out of the General's Mansion. In front of the gate, he met Bai Xiaode.
"Old Lu, what's the matter, did you convince the general?" Bai Xiaode did not agree to the large-scale conquest of Xiao Bolu, and he thought that Lu Shangqing's stay was to persuade Li Huaitang to change his mind.
In front of his colleagues, Lu Shangqing has always regarded himself as a scribe, but he saw him slowly and politely tidying up and serving, and said with an angry face: "Of course, my old Lu's opinion, can the general not pay attention to it?" Rest assured, the Admiral never trades at a loss, and soon you will get a face-to-face instruction. ”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaode was relieved a lot, his mood was relaxed, and the prank came naturally, and the word buying and selling reminded him.
"Hehe, Lao Lu is going to get big, brother, I'm so envious, well, if you grab any treasure, remember to leave a copy for me."
The embarrassment made the muscles on Lu Shangqing's face twitch, and he finally endured it, pretending to be unfathomable, and said, "What do you know?" I am a task force, and I am fundamentally different from the horse bandits. The general said, we Sven people, the horse bandits' hooks are disdainful of us, although we also ride on horseback and wield knives to beg for a living, but that can only be said to take or borrow, and robbery is not the same, robbery is the work of horse bandits, understand? ”
"That's right! Promising. Bai Xiaode laughed and gave a thumbs up.
Lu Shangqing was proud of his eloquence, and Bai Xiaode's words came to his ears:
"Brother Wolf, do a good job, grab a few more Hui Niang! Leave the beautiful ones to me, and the rest will be yours! Bai Xiaode imitated Li Huaitang's tone and teased Lu Shangqing, and did not give Lu Shangqing a chance to fight back.
The grassland peoples mostly take the wolf as a totem, galloping across the grassland, and a mighty name can often play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort, so Li Huaitang gave him a mighty nickname in public.
Five days later, the army that conquered Xiao Bolu set out, escorted the capital as the main general, and took Bai Xiaode's thousand horsemen as the vanguard to escort the Tang envoy Li Jingzhong to the road. The Hexi advance team pretended to be a caravan and set off at the same time, heading towards the border of Liangzhou.
The first batch of advance team, including Lu Shangqing and Hu Zi, a total of 50 people, basically came from the horse bandits brought by Tu Bulie from Hexi, and they were naturally handy when they returned to their old jobs. Considering Lu Shangqing's lack of banditry, Li Huaitang transferred the beard from the horse bandit to him as his deputy. The beard is fierce and familiar with the rules of the trade, and it is the material of a horse bandit.
In addition to this, there are two special members of the advance team, two well-trained hunting dogs. There is no substitute for the role of hounds, they are indispensable to lead the way when chasing and running, let alone guarding against sneak attacks.
Lai Yao still kept his promise, sent his own soldiers to guide the way, and personally wrote a letter to the governor of Anxi, asking him to prepare information on the border of Hexi, including a map. It was rare for Li Huaitang to agree to send troops, and he was overjoyed to come to Yao, and he didn't have time to care about the rest, not to mention that Li Huaitang was not ready to make trouble in the Anxi realm, he was so happy to open one eye and close one eye. He took the credit, and the headache annoyed the Tiele people and the military governor of Hexi.
