Chapter 182: The Youth Who Sells Firewood
"Moved to Wangyuan County?" Li Ming looked at Zhu Jun and pointed to the map, but he didn't quite understand.
Wangyuan County is in Hanyang County, and Beigong Boyu raised troops in Jincheng County, and now has entered Wuwei. Although you can also enter the scope of Sili by taking Hanyang, this road is mountainous and not suitable for Ma Jun to walk; As long as Beigong Boyu is not stupid, he will definitely go to Anding County to enter Sili, as long as people with a little common sense know about it.
"I'll talk about it later! Sun Jian, your mission is to be stationed in Huangxian (later Qianyang County)! Zhu Jun looked at Sun Jian.
"Whoa!" Sun Jian did not hesitate and replied directly.
"Wang Yu, you and I will go north to settle down, and then enter Wuwei and face the Beigong Boyu Department head-on! Remember, you can't win if you lose, and you must draw it to Hanyang-gun! As long as the Beigong Boyu Department enters the mountain range, Li Ming will attack its grain road! Sun Jianbu came from Wangxian County, and we will surround and annihilate him here! Zhu Jun pointed to the mountain range leading to Sidi in Hanyang County and said.
He immediately raised his head and added: "The battlefield is changing, the situation is difficult to explain, you must be prepared for sudden changes in the situation at any time, and once you receive an order, you must be ready to go to battle at any time!" ”
The meaning of the last sentence is actually to Sun Jian and Li Ming, and the meaning can be summed up: I sent you out to garrison the place, it doesn't mean that you can travel well, once the military situation is delayed, hehe......
"Whoa!" At this point, who else would not be interested, so they gave up their hands.
Sun Jian was the easiest, starting from the Western Han Dynasty all the way to the west, less than 300 miles to Wangxian, during which there were no mountains, and the road was smooth; Zhu Jun and Wang Yu want to make a big bend, at least more than 700 miles; Li Ming's side mainly has to pass through the mountain range that connects Hanyang County and Sili, which is actually the area of Maijishan Scenic Area in later generations.
"In these days, everywhere is a scenic area, but I yearn for the forest of steel more!" Li Ming looked at this original official road, which was completely built with manpower, and looked at the lush vegetation on both sides, but he had other thoughts in his heart.
In this year, the natural scenery was preserved to the greatest extent, and tourist resorts such as oxygen bars abound in this era, but no one will deliberately drill into the forest.
The sides of the mountain range are not steep cliffs, but they are also mountain ranges, and the vegetation is very lush, giving the impression that a tiger or a wild boar will suddenly emerge from it. Dian Jie and Xiao Yao were investigating on both sides, in fact, according to the instructions, they could also properly hunt some game, so that they could have dinner tonight, after all, fresh meat was naturally impossible to use as supplies for the army.
Xu Huang took the horse army, which had expanded to 800 people, and scattered out from afar to investigate. At the beginning of the crusade against the Xiongnu, a lot of horses were captured, but only 800 could be used, and the other horses' hooves had been damaged, or for other reasons, they were either slaughtered or sent to the royal horse farm to mate and breed with the existing horses.
From Xi'an to Wangyuan County, it is almost more than 700 miles, and Li Ming is no easier than Zhu Jun. It took me almost ten days to get here, and I tried to walk 80 miles a day. Fortunately, the food consumption is not large, and there is more game in the mountains, so don't hunt young animals or pregnant female animals, and properly keep some male animals, so that the hunt will not be cut off.
"What a dusty man!" When he officially arrived in Wangyuan County, Li Ming couldn't help but sigh. After leaving Sili, although it is not a yellow sand rolling, there is a lot more sand and dust than Sili, and he is covered with dust all the way.
"It is said that in this era, there is no over-cultivation, why is the wind and sand so big!" Li Ming shook his head, there are rivers along the road, and washing up or something is not a problem.
"It is said that in the bitter cold land of the northwest, the rain is much less than that of Sili, and many people do not take a bath for three days, and they are also forced. It's okay here, but if you go deeper to the northwest, it's really yellow sand! Xu Huang said with a smile, he is from Hedong, and he also went to the northwest when he was young, so he knows the situation here quite well. At least, they all know a lot more than Li Ming and others.
"According to the time, the main general should have arrived at Wuwei's side, and I don't know what the situation is!" Li Ming looked at the northeast direction, if the time was right, Zhu Jun should have already fought with the Beigong Boyu Division.
"The general of the chariot cavalry is just luring the enemy, and he is not fighting head-on, so he should be fine!" Xi Zhicai said.
"Okay!" Li Ming shrugged his shoulders, "Since it's not our turn to worry, then why bother?" Leave people to set up the camp tent, Zhicai and Zhang Mo, do you want to follow me into the county seat to have a look? Anyway, I'm going to pay a visit to the prefectural order! ”
"My subordinates are willing to go!" Of course the two of them will not refuse, Li Ming's so-called look, I am afraid that he is going to buy some ingredients or something in the county, and if he chooses well, he will be blessed tonight.
Li Ming didn't talk nonsense, and directly took the two of them into the county seat. Fortunately, before coming, Xu Huang had already reported to the county order of Wangyuan County, explained their intentions, and showed Zhu Jun's military order documents. The county commander also did not need to provide military rations, so this army was stationed outside the city.
It is said that the Qiang people are in turmoil, but in fact, the county order is even more eager for the army of the imperial court to come to the town.
Maybe it's because of the war, the county is actually not lively, everyone is in a hurry, and they leave in a hurry after completing the transaction. Fortunately, Beigong Boyu generally does not go south, so there are still a lot of merchants coming and going.
"Sell firewood!" When passing by the market, Li Ming heard a deep voice calling there. If you want to say that it is not strange to have a loud voice, there are more or less always a few who have a loud voice, but this voice is not a natural loud voice, but the effect of the internal qi running with the sound.
"A Qi practitioner is actually selling firewood?" Li Ming thought it was interesting, so he walked over.
I saw a firewood pile from a distance, and I didn't know how much firewood there was, Li Ming went up and lifted it, each bundle was at least twenty kilograms, that is to say, there were at least ten tons of firewood here. In addition to the firewood used for the fire, there is also a lot of wood, which is the best part of the material that has been sawn off the two ends.
There were more than a dozen young people around the firewood, but most of them were looking at the firewood, and only one young man was calling there. Some people came to buy firewood one after another, apparently attracted by the loud voices of young people.
"How much does firewood cost?" Li Ming stepped forward to look at the young man, this kid looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he looked like a young man, with a height of one meter and eight meters, but his nutrition was a little unable to keep up, and his face was yellow and thin.
"Thirty wen a bundle, no two prices! If it's firewood over there, it's more expensive, 80 wen each! The boy pointed to the firewood, and then to the wood. Firewood can only be burned, but wood can be used to make furniture or other things, and of course it is more expensive.
"It's an affordable price!" Li Ming nodded, "It's just that I'm more curious about you, dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" ”
"Are you here to buy firewood, or are you here to make trouble?" The young man hadn't spoken yet, but the other young people stood up directly.
"My name is Pound, if you don't buy firewood, please don't bother us! Please! Pang De arched his hand and motioned for Li Ming to leave. It can be seen that he is a little wary of Li Ming.
