Chapter 845: Great Harvest
At night, Xue Shao quietly came to Hongye Street with fifty people and stopped outside Yongxing Warehouse.
Even Guo An didn't follow, only these fifty tribes who signed a lifelong contract with Xue Shao.
"Next you will see one, the big secret of Yinchuan Military Fort." Xue Shao smiled slightly, and after speaking, he walked towards the Yongxing Warehouse.
Everyone was puzzled and curiously followed.
Yongxing Warehouse, the largest warehouse in Yinchuan Juntun. Originally, it was built to store the straw and forage left over from the autumn harvest. The Yinchuan military cantonment has 5,000 or 6,000 hectares of farmland cultivated by soldiers, and the grain harvested in the autumn of each year is enough to feed hundreds of thousands of troops, not to mention that it can be used to feed livestock and fodder.
From this, you can imagine how huge Yongxing Library is.
Later, due to various reasons, Yongxing Library did not officially come in handy for its original use, so Yu Hongye coiled it down and used it to store the goods of his caravan. Later, the Momiji caravan was relocated as a whole, and it took a month or two to remove all the goods inside. The family background of the richest man in Helong can be seen from this.
But these are not the most important things.
Xue Shao walked with fifty people in the huge and empty warehouse. It was dark inside, but Xue Shao strictly ordered that no fire should be brought in. Everyone thought of the big explosion a few days ago, and vaguely thought of something -- those charcoal and other things are very easy to cause fires!
Xue Shao led them to stop in front of a sub-warehouse, which was filled with mountains of charcoal.
"Do it, clear the way." Xue Shao gave the order, "Walk thirty steps inside in the direction of the door, and stop when you get there." β
"Yes!"
They couldn't use lighting or iron, they had to work with their bare hands. Fortunately, there were many people and great strength, and in a short time, they opened a passage in the middle of a charcoal mountain. From the doorway, about thirty paces away.
Xue Shao walked in and stopped here, and said, "After Wei Zhiwei took office, he continued to suppress the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and finally forced her to leave Yinchuan. Then guess how Yu Hongye transported a huge amount of military supplies out of Yinchuan Military Tun and transferred them to a large warehouse in Yanchang County under the noses of so many pairs of surveillance on her? β
Immediately, the organic spirit man reacted, "There is an authentic here!" β
Xue Shao smiled, "Let's do it again and clear a large open space here." Then look for the mechanism and open the tunnel! β
"Yes!"
Everyone came to the spirit at once, and immediately threw off their arms and got busy. It didn't take long for someone to let out a cry of surprise, "Found it!" β
With a few dull sounds of bricks and tiles, a huge hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The hole was large enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through. And the hole is connected to a long brick and stone road with a slight downward slope.
"You guys, come in with me." Xue Shao pointed to a few people, and then said, "The others are strictly guarded here, and no one is allowed to set foot in the Yongxing Library!" β
"Yes!"
Xue Shao led a few people into the tunnel, and a lot of torches were placed on the four walls, and a few front and rear lighting were lit to guide the way.
"This authentic project is really huge." Xue Shao couldn't help but sigh a little, and secretly thought to himself in his heart: Li Xianyuan, a half-tone magic stick, still has a few brushes to get down to business. As early as the beginning of the design of Yinchuan Juntun, I made the idea of "leaving the last way to escape". Very few people knew about this matter, and later I was transferred out of Xiazhou and secretly handed over this matter to Li Xianyuan to be responsible. Later, Wei waited for the price to gain momentum, and Li Xianyuan handed over this tunnel to Yu Hongye. In the end, it was the original designer who benefited the most from this tunnel, I, Xue...... The mountains and rivers take turns, which is really interesting!
"Young marshal, there is a fork in the road ahead!"
"Turn left." Xue Shao said without thinking.
The group walked in the tunnel for a long time, and someone asked, "Young marshal, how far have we walked?" "About two or three miles."
"Then how do I feel, like I've walked for a day and a night, walking dozens of miles?"
"Walking forward in a closed and unfamiliar environment, it is inevitable that you will have such an illusion." Xue Shao smiled, "Don't worry about going boldly, don't have any worries." β
"Hmm!"
The group walked for a long time, and finally stopped in a large open space. Xue Shao observed the surrounding road walls, this should be in the mountains. This large empty flat is the place where the Momiji Chamber of Commerce temporarily stores goods for transportation when they transfer materials. Small rooms were also carved out of the surrounding area, and sleepers were built with stones and wooden planks to allow people to rest, and even traces of cooking on a fire were found.
"Hey, there's a spring here, and there's a barrel and rope for getting water next to it!" Someone was surprised, and took water for everyone to drink, "This water is quite sweet, it's a mountain spring!" β
"It's totally inhabitable. Lives a lot of people. Xue Shao said, "Look around, there should be an organ." "They started looking around, and it was easy to find a pretty big wrench. Several people shook together, and a whole mountain wall in front of them began to loosen and rumbled sideways, revealing a large hole.
Through the hollow, everyone saw the dense bushes and weeds outside, and the faint moonlight.
"Exit!" Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
"Be quiet!" Xue Shao hurriedly said, "You two go out to be on guard, make sure it's safe, and then use the Lantian secret code to send a message back." β
"Yes."
It took a long time for the two who went out to return, and when they came back, they were four.
- The scouts that Xue Shao left with Duan Feng also came with two!
"Young marshal! Brethren!! "Seeing Xue Shao and the brothers here, the two were very surprised.
"No more to say." Xue Shao said, "You two should go back now and continue to stay with Duan Feng." From this day forward, you keep an eye on this place, keeping an eye out for information and orders coming out of the tunnels. Also, the less people know about authentic things, the better. β
"Yes!"
Xue Shao patted the shoulders of the two scouts, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. It's not easy to hide in the mountains, right? β
"It's a bit of a wretch." The two of them laughed and said, "The Turkic camp is right under our noses, and we can only stare at them and not do anything about them." β
"Bear with me for a few more days." Xue Shao said, "There will be a time when you will have a good time!" β
"Yes!"
"Let's go back!"
The two scouts left, and Xue Shao ordered the activation mechanism to re-seal the mountain gate crossing. Then he took them back to the first fork in the road.
"From here, to the right, you can go straight to the soles of the Turks' feet. Therefore, it is important that we do not speak lightly. Xue Shao said, "They have the ground to listen, always pay attention to the direction of the ground underground, and beware of our army digging holes in the ground to carry out surprise attacks." β
"Yes."
"Come with me and go to the nearest place to find out what the enemy is doing."
Xue Shao took the lead and turned right and walked into the other tunnel.
This tunnel is not a whole transportation road, but a lot of small roads dug into a spider web, the trails are interconnected with each other, and the entire tunnel network extends in all directions. Everywhere Xue Shao passed, he asked people to leave a mark that he was lost in the past.
Everyone has been drilling in the tunnel for a long time, and they are almost a little dizzy.
"Young marshal, these trails are dead ends, and there is no exit." Someone whispered.
Xue Shao nodded, "It's impossible to dig too many exits, otherwise the tunnels will be too easy to expose." These trails are like a labyrinth, and it is easy for people who don't know the way to get trapped in them. When someone who knows the way comes in, he will know where the earthen wall is very thin and close to the ground, and he can find his way out with a little digging. β
"This tunnel is well-built!" The crowd exclaimed, "Where is the soil thinner?" β
Xue Shao smiled slightly, "You should pay attention, but wherever a copper bowl is buried in the earthen wall, it is relatively thin." The inside of the bowl is connected to a large hollowed-out bamboo tube for ventilation, which can be called an air outlet. These vents are like listening to the ground, and we can use them to detect movement on the ground and use them to determine if there is an enemy passing by - you find the vents, try it! β
"Okay."
All the tribes immediately moved around, and soon found a lot of outlets in many tunnels. They listened to each other, and sure enough, they heard a lot of voices. There was the sound of horses' hooves passing by, conversations and shouts in Turkic, and even the wails and screams of women at the humiliation.
"Young marshal, this is the camp of the Turks!" Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
"Withdrawβ"
Xue Shao took them and quickly withdrew from the labyrinth path and returned to Yongxingku.
At this time, it was already dawn.
"Young marshal, you have been there all night, we are all worried!" The man who stayed in the storehouse said, "What treasure is down here?" β
"It's been a reward." Xue Shao smiled mysteriously, "From now on, for ten consecutive days, we will not leave Yongxing Vault again." I'm going to take you to something dangerous, but very greatβare you ready? β
"Ready!!"
β¦β¦
Guo Yuanzhen felt that the armor was too cumbersome and not conducive to him running around to fight, so he simply took off his armor and military uniform, and roared loudly on the city wall with his bare gang, brandishing a war knife, and personally commanding the battle.
The soldiers of Shuofangjun have never seen such a wild and passionate Guo Yuanzhen. This is really far from his previous image of humor, humor, and easy talking.
Without warning, the Turks launched an onslaught, fiercer than any previous attack.
"Two poles, two poles!!" Guo Yuanzhen roared loudly at the city, "Hurry up and tell him that if he doesn't bring his Xue Gong to help me defend the city, he will have to be my brother in the next life!" β
"Yes!" Immediately someone galloped away on a fast horse.
Before the fast horse had gone far, a galloping cavalry flew in. The leader was a descending King Kong, dragging a mace more than a foot long, jumping off the big black horse and shouting at Guo Yuanzhen: "General Guo, I'm here to help you!" β
"Nonsense! The Tuo cavalry does not defend the city! Guo Yuanzhen yelled angrily, "Hurry up and go back to guard my own camp and obey orders!" β
"Ah, and such rules?" Niu Ben was stunned, straight eyes.
Mei Rakshasa laughed on the side: "Man, I told you not to come, right?" Mess up! β
"You mother-in-law, you want to be beaten again?" Niu Ben's eyes widened.
"Come on, beat me. Remember to push harder! Rakshasa laughed and trembled.
"Don't get out of here!" Guo Yuanzhen saw that Niu Ben and the couple still had the heart to flirt in the city, and couldn't help but be angry, "Do you have to force me to chop you with a knife?" β
"Get out, get out of here!" Niu Ben had no choice but to turn over and get on his horse, and ran back with Mei Rakshasa and his Tuo Karma brothers.
At this moment, Xue Chuyu rushed over with the jumping cavalry.
Niu Ben suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly stopped Xue Chuyu, "General Yuguan, your jumping army is also a cavalry, why can you participate in the defense of the city?" β
Xue Chuyu said lightly: "Get on the horse and fly, and the thousands of troops will capture the flag; Get off the mountain, one husband is invincible. In this way, it can be called the Jumping Army! β
"......" Niu Ben was speechless, hating a itchy tooth - when did this white-faced handsome boy become so annoying?
"Man, you have to be convinced." Mei Rakshasa smiled and said, "The Tutaka brothers take horses as their home, and their kung fu in riding and fighting is certainly good. But without the horses, their abilities are indeed average. General Yuguan is known as the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, and although cavalry combat is his ability to watch his family, but the kung fu of forming formations, defending cities, foot battles, and bows and crossbows is by no means idle! - Don't stare at me, it's all from Wei Zhixuan. β
Niu Ben gritted his teeth with hatred, "You obviously want to be angry with me?" β
"If you're so stingy, you can't be my man." Mei Rakshasa said lightly, "Before I met you, I still wanted to give birth to a son for your young marshal." What does this say? β
"You only found out about it?" Niu Benmu blinked, "Then you are born, I will be a godfather." β
