Yang Zhi escaped from Tokyo City, this time it was like a dragon returning to the sea and a tiger returning to the mountain, needless to say that there were people along the road, even Yang Zhi had a gun and a knife, and he didn't want to hold him if he didn't have one or two hundred elite servants. Since then, Yang Zhi has completely lost his heart to the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, and he no longer has any illusions.

Not to mention that Yang Zhi rushed to Yuncheng day and night, just said that Luda trained 500 sword soldiers from Liangshan Island, trained for a month and a half, and the 500 soldiers took on a new look. Luda led 500 soldiers, disguised as a large escort caravan, and escorted 200 truckloads of salted fish, pickles, salted duck eggs, and other things, ready to rush to Jingcheng County, where there was a settlement for displaced people.

Luda was straightforward and asked Zhu Wudao: "Master Zhu, don't blame the sprinkling family for talking too much, disaster relief and relief should be based on food, why do you get such 200 carts of salted fish and salted duck eggs." ”

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "Lu Ying is from the army, a cart of grain is 1,500 catties, equipped with a mule, and transported to Jingcheng County, not counting the consumption of people, just talking about the consumption of mules, how much will it be?" ”

Luda said: "The Sprinkle family has never taken care of logistics, but it is thousands of miles away from here to Jingcheng County, and the carriages and horses have lost 1,500 catties of grain along the way, so it has to consume 300 catties." ”

Zhu Wudao: "Not so much, mules cost four catties of concentrate and twenty catties of forage a day, and it is inconvenient to graze along the way, and the forage has to be bought, so instead of transporting grain to the past, it is better to purchase grain on the spot." The area affected by the disaster in Shanxi is very small, only a few counties in Bingzhou and Yuncheng, and there are many large households in Zhending Mansion in Hebei Province adjacent to it, and there is no shortage of grain at all, and the grain of the rich and powerful families is piled up, so we have a good relationship with them, and it is more convenient to buy some grain and come out for disaster relief on the spot. ”

Luda said: "The Sprinkle family is not thoughtful, so they escort the materials on the road." ”

It was the hot summer weather, and it was hard work to transport supplies, and it was impossible for such a large team to stay in a hotel, so they got up early along the way, rested in the woods at noon, traveled from afternoon to evening, and found a wilderness camp at night. Luda is not afraid of hardships in leading soldiers, can share weal and woe with soldiers, and never engages in special, and the soldiers love Dai Lu Battalion Commander very much.

This road is not easy, there is no high-speed in these years, the official road is in disrepair, and catch up with the rainy season, there are roads that are washed away by floods everywhere, it took nearly half a month to successfully arrive at Jingcheng County, as soon as you arrive at the mountain pass, you feel different, a piece of green brick and tile houses, busy caravans, workers in and out, most of the pedestrians on the road are also better, there are few vegetables on the face, both sides are neat Tianwang rice land, the green Tianwang rice grows very well, the hillside is peanuts, and it grows well. As soon as he entered the mountain, a young junior arrived with more than a dozen cavalrymen.

Hou Sheng said: "It's Brother Ruda." ”

Luda said: "It's the Sprinkle family, may I ask if you are." ”

Hou Sheng said: "In Xia Ma Ling, I came to meet you on Bian Xiang's order." ”

Saying that, Ma Ling and Luda looked at each other's waist cards, and Luda scratched his head: "This is the first time that the Sprinkle family has carried out a mission, and I thought it was a very simple escort, but I didn't expect to walk for half a month, and two places along the road were washed away by floods, and it took half a month to arrive." ”

Ma Ling said: "Camp Commander Bian estimates that it will take you five days to arrive, and it is still timely to arrive, let's go into the mountain as soon as possible." ”

The high temperature in the Jingcheng Mountain is different from the outside, and the mountain is cooler, much cooler than the outside. The western part of Jingcheng County borders Shanxi, which is also the area where coal mines and iron mines are located, and when you arrive at the mining area, the flat land between the mountains is full of neatly arranged wheat straw huts, and the ragged refugees are stationed here, and it seems that there must be tens of thousands of people.

More than 100 meters away is a large iron pot, almost dozens of mouthfuls. Just in time for the hotel, Ma Ling said: "Brother Luda, we signed the delivery order, the materials were put into storage, and the pickles shipped were just enough for the big guy to eat." ”

Ruda immediately handed over the supplies, and then said, "I'm going to see what these refugees eat?" ”

Saying that, Luda went to the big iron pot to take a look, and the porridge boiled in the big iron pot was served in the large porcelain basin next to it, with sorghum porridge, cereal porridge, rice porridge, and millet porridge. The variety is okay, Luda served a bowl of cereal porridge, ate a few bites, and the old grain, although it was not bad, but there was a faint smell of mold, and there were some small insects.

Ruda was displeased, put the porridge bowl on the ground heavily, almost broken, and said, "Since it is a disaster relief, how can you be so fooled." ”

There was an old man next to him who was not happy, picked up the porridge and ate it cleanly, and said to Luda: "I said that you are a big man who is full and doesn't know that hungry men are hungry, this year's drought in Shanxi is serious, this is a well-known thing, and the nearby Haoqiang obviously has food but refuses to sell it. ”

At this time, there was a big man behind Ruda, one meter and nine meters tall, a little more fierce than Ruda, and there were two tigers and wolves behind him. It was none other than Bian Xiang, Bian Xiang was not angry, and said with a smile: "Is it Brother Luda, I have long heard that Lu Ti is like a fire, and there is no sand in his eyes, and today I saw that it was so." ”

Luda said: "But Bian Xiang? ”

"It's me."

"The Sprinkle family reported to you, and it will be at your disposal before you receive a new order." Ruda said.

Bian Xiang said: "Well, okay, it's been hard along the way. Come, I'll take you to our granary. ”

Bian Xiang said that he introduced the two of them to Luda, and everyone got to know each other, and the group came to the granary.

The things in the granary were piled up, and Luda said: "I'm afraid this can't be a million catties." ”

Bian Xiang nodded: "Yes, there are at least 100,000 people affected by the disaster in Shanxi, and now there are new victims every day. However, grain procurement is a problem, and the price of new grain is too expensive, for example, the money to buy five catties of new grain can buy eight catties of old grain. Some of these old grains were purchased from Cangzhou Chai Jin, and some were purchased from Lu Junyi, the Daimyo's Mansion. Although it is stale grain, the quality is absolutely fine. ”

Saying that, Bian Xiang opened a bag of sorghum rice, and it was true that there were worms, but the rice was not bad, it was still good.

Lu Dasheng ate a few sorghum rice, and checked other old grains, and it was indeed as Bian Xiang said, the old grains were true, but they were not bad. Besides, who doesn't eat stale grain in ordinary people's families?

Luda bowed to Bian Xiang to the end and said, "Just now, the Sprinkle family was reckless, and he lost his temper without understanding the situation, and I ask Camp Commander Bian for forgiveness." ”

Bian Xiang laughed: "Haha, my own brothers are not interested in this, the brothers haven't eaten yet, Xie Zhen, you go and arrange for your brothers to rest in the barracks, and I will take Battalion Commander Lu to familiarize yourself with the environment." ”

The coal mine is actually an open-pit coal mine with little defense other than a few fences and a few watchtowers.

The ironworks, on the other hand, were forts made of solid stones, and all other weapons were available except for cannons. Bian Xiang said: "Jingcheng County has a large area, and it is a mountainous area with dense forests, so it is not a problem to hide 100,000 soldiers, and the terrain is very important. At present, there are three tasks, the first of which is to protect the safety of iron works, coal mines, horse farms, and industrial parks. ”

Luda said: "I heard Zhu Junshi say it when I came, but I don't know the language, we have a lot of people, right, are you afraid that you won't be able to stand these industries?" ”

Bian Xiang said: "There is no one else here, I'll tell you directly, ordinary little thieves and thieves don't dare to look at our industry at all, mainly to prevent a big hao here, called Tian Hu, he has strong recruiting strength." The second is to guard against the cunning and robbery of corrupt officials, and my brother has to prevent them from coming to the yin because of the unhappiness of the salt farm and Gao Yu. ”
