The road where Chen Wu returned to the army is located in the east of Yanmen and the mountains, but it is actually located at the junction of Youzhou and Bingzhou, and it is also very close to the grassland.

In such a place, relying on the topography, it is enough to have a certain number of soldiers stationed there, and the role of soldiers placed here in sentry and communication is far greater than that of garrison-

The nearest town from here, the fast horse also has a schedule of nearly a day, even if someone attacks, as long as the intelligence is released in time, there is no need to resist, and when the enemy is about to arrive in the village and town, the side has already been prepared for defense.

What's more, in such a desolate area, logistical supply is very difficult, long-term maintenance of the garrison, the investment and return are not proportional, with the deterrence theory mentioned by Chen Wu, it should not be so, only need to retain the ability to retaliate is enough.

Because of this, Liu Xiao, the king of Wu of the Huns, dared to rashly cross the border to arrest, and to his surprise, such a force of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in Youzhou!

No matter how you think about it, the Youzhou Army shouldn't have come so soon.

It is Liu Kun, who is safe now, and he is also wondering about this matter.

Chen Wu didn't explain, just hurried, Liu Kun could only hide the question in his heart and wait patiently.

The Black Armor Army walked very slowly, there were not many cavalry in the army, and the prisoners and booty needed to be taken care of.

Chen Wu didn't leave early, how could Liu Kun, who was saved by others, leave first? Not to mention, staying in the army is much safer than going on the road alone in advance.

Fortunately, this road is not long, otherwise Liu Kun and the others are afraid that they will not be able to stand the fatigue and fall asleep first.

As the army came out of the woods, the scene suddenly dawned, and through the flat avenue, they came to a place where the mountain pass was guarded, and on top of it stood a post, but it was much larger and stronger than the usual outpost.

When Liu Kun and the others got closer, they found that this outpost was not rammed, but built with bricks!

"This is a forged brick, how is it glued together? Could it be something like glutinous rice juice? The terrain here is dangerous, the transportation is not easy, the wind is strong and urgent, how is it fixed? Liu Kun didn't want to act like he hadn't seen the world, although he was surprised in his heart, he held it in his heart and didn't ask anyone.

After the Black Armor Army set up camp, Chen Wu arranged for prisoners again, and took Liu Kun and his party into the outpost.

When I entered the outpost, I saw that the arrangements inside were in good order, and the soldiers and miscellaneous servants were in good order, doing their own work.

Immediately after, Liu Kun's gaze was attracted by the innermost tower, and he noticed the beacon fire on the top of the tower that had not been completely extinguished, and he understood a little in his heart. ”

"Captain Chen rushed over after seeing the beacon fire?" As Liu Kun spoke, he sorted out the cause and effect, "I see, the general is afraid that he has already learned the news, the Huns are pretending to kill us, so I prepared in advance, and waited for the beacon fire to ignite and determine the direction and location, so that I could come to the rescue in time!" ”

After speaking, he said with half emotion and half praise: "I have long heard the name of the secret spy department, but I didn't expect that even the movements of the Hun army could not escape from the grasp, and it was really powerful" After the emotion, it was inevitable that he would feel cold in his heart, if he defected to Chen Zhi, he would be stared at by this kind ......of spy in the future, even if he just thought about it, he felt pressure.

Chen Wu smiled and said, "Mr. is half right. ”

"Half?" Liu Kun was puzzled.

"A certain family has received the news and prepared in advance," Chen Wu did not hide it, "but he didn't specially rush here to wait, the station of a certain family is not far from here, this western border of Youzhou is the defensive place of a certain family, but whenever there is a movement of the Huns, there are soldiers and horses mobilized to be on guard!" Liu Cong is known as the Northern Expedition, mobilizing troops and horses to the north, close to the border, a certain family is guarded in advance, and he happened to get the news of the front line, he knew about Mr., and thought that the general often mentioned Mr.'s name, and he came to help! ”

"Stationed around here?" Liu Kun became more and more puzzled, "How to ensure supplies and drills?" There are many mountains and forests here, and communication is also a problem......"

"The supply problem, there is Tuntian self-sufficiency, but it is mainly through transportation," Chen Wu seems to really regard Liu Kun as his own person, and even the matter of supply and baggage has been revealed, "Youzhou has made a lot of construction projects in recent years, and has built many roads, there are a few around here, and there are many new cities as strongholds, and it will not take more than a day to transport grain and grass from the nearest city." ”

Liu Kun said with a sad face: "Even so, if you want to maintain the weight of grain and grass and an army stationed, it will cost a lot of money and food, which is pure waste!" He was obviously touched by these words, and thought of the hard times of the guerrilla era.

Chen Wu waved his hand and said: "Youzhou is abundant, it is rich, a certain family does not understand the business of money and grain, anyway, our soldiers in Youzhou will never lack food and clothing, three meals a day, there is meat at a meal, the white flour steamed buns are enough, the military salary and money and food are never in arrears, where is there any problem, the general asked a certain family to be stationed here, then garrison!" Some people have also said that this move wasted the army's salary, money and food, and persuaded the general to withdraw, but the general said that Youzhou's entry is rich and the treasury is full, so what can you do if you spend money every day to raise troops? Soldiers defend the country, meaning more than gold, deserve this consumption, if you spend money and wealth can get a brave army, this is a great luck! ”

As he spoke, a look of adoration appeared on his face.

Liu Kun was shocked at first, and then fell silent.

To put it bluntly, he has money in Youzhou, and there is no problem with spending money to raise soldiers!

At present, whether it is the Hu people or the Central Plains, the meals in the army are mostly two meals a day, not to mention steamed buns and meat, it is good to be full, if what Chen Wu said is true, then the treatment of the Youzhou Army is really too high, and it will inevitably have a significant impact!

Others are deducting military salaries and collecting money everywhere, but Youzhou does not hesitate to pay for food and raise soldiers everywhere.

But in this way, the situation in the north and even the world will be more complicated, and I don't know whether it is the luck or misfortune of the Han court.

After the silence, Liu Kun didn't have much interest in asking again, and because he was tired and sleepy, he quickly said goodbye and went back to rest.

He fled all the way, and he was slightly injured, and he was indeed sleepy, and he needed a good rest.

As soon as Liu Kun left, a big man came out from the side.

This man's face is full of oil, but it is the plum head, and after a few years, his body has grown stronger and his waist has become thicker.

"Boss, how do you talk to this person?" Looking at Liu Kun's departing back, Li Tou was a little puzzled, "This person is not our own person, and it is against the rules to say this now." ”

Chen Wu smiled: "This person has some prestige, and many people often ......compare him with the general in order to suppress our Youzhou."

"How is he compared to a general?" Li Tou laughed, "What kind of person is the general? Invincible, heaven and man! This person is the general of the defeated army, chased by the Huns and fled, and he is also worthy of being compared with the general? ”

Chen Wu also laughed: "You must know that those scholars of the family evaluate a person, not by how strong he is, Wen Taowu strategy, but by fame, this Liu Kun is not small, he will not retreat after the ruin of the state, he is known as a beautiful talk, and he is very respected!" ”

Li Tou pursed his lips: "If you can't defeat the Huns, you can't break the Hu people, what's the use of fighting to the death and not retreating?" Didn't you come to beg us? Besides, since the scholars in the south respected this person, why didn't they bring troops to help? So that he was reduced to this? By the way, you haven't said why you revealed the news. ”

"Those news can't be hidden," Chen Wu chuckled, "Liu Kun is not a simple person, he can see a lot of it when he turns around Youzhou, I will reveal first, this is nothing, he has a good reputation, maybe he has other thoughts, kill his prestige first, and beat him, so that he can know the gap between him and the general!" ”

Li Tou disagreed: "When he walks around Youzhou, he will naturally be honest, and he will know how many catties and taels he has, so why bother doing more!" ”

Chen Wu thought about it, but when Li Tou pointed it out, he felt unhappy, so he said: "A certain family sees that you are a little strong now, and your tone is also bigger, and the words are getting more and more slippery, the martial arts academy is really useful, and I have to send you there a few times, in the words of the general, it is to study more!" ”

When Li Tou heard this, his face turned pale, and he confessed again and again, and then found an excuse and walked away.
