The silver found on the five bandits was close to twenty taels, which was not a small amount, but Wu Fanhui didn't want a penny of silver, so he insisted on giving Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, and also gave the two coachmen some broken silver each, according to the rules, Wu Fanhui is the master's family, no matter what wealth he gets on the road, it belongs to him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The most valuable are the three Tuyuhun horses, these are all war horses, these bandits should be Wang Zuohang's subordinates, and their identities are not ordinary, it is estimated that they are war horses obtained when they are fighting with the official army.

Wu Fanhui himself left a Tuguhun horse, and the other two, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin each other, the distribution of war horses, the two did not shirk, and they obviously showed unusual feelings for war horses.

Although they said that they killed five bandits, a small gain, but such a thing, no one wants to meet again, they are not to kill bandits, after burying the bodies of the five bandits, everyone quickened their pace and headed towards the central county.

Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin no longer ride in a carriage, but on horseback, Wu Fanhui also rides like them, but the movements are far less skilled than the two, but the speed is much faster than the carriage, along the way, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin instructed Wu Fanhui how to ride a horse and correct his wrong movements.

After arriving in the central county, the two coachmen were completely paralyzed, in fact, when they encountered the bandits, the two coachmen could not hold on, just in order to be able to save their lives, they drove the horses in the direction of the central county, once out of danger, the two coachmen could no longer hold on.

Wu Fanhui, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin each have a war horse, Wu Fanhui carried a road guide, indicating his identity as a child, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin are his two entourage, such a road guide so that they will not be subject to any suspicion, seeing the coachman's situation, Wu Fanhui made a decisive decision, the rest of the way, they rode to Xi'an City, anyway, the luggage they carried is not very much, Wu Fanhui's decision, Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin must be in favor.

The coachman stayed in the central county, and they waited for the group to go back in the direction of Yan'an Mansion.

For the rest of the journey, you have to rely on yourself, including where to rest, when to eat, and so on.

Early the next morning, Wu Fanhui, Ma Jigang, and Sun Kailin had breakfast, carried plenty of wheat cakes, soybeans, and water, and left the central part of the city, heading in the direction of Xi'an.

When he arrived in Yijun County, Wu Fanhui was already able to ride a horse very skillfully, but the speed could not be too fast, and he felt that riding a horse was actually much more comfortable than riding a carriage.

It is in this process, through the explanations of Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin, Wu Fanhui gradually understood some of the situations about feeding war horses, war horses are indeed precious, especially when fighting on the battlefield, to maintain sufficient physical strength, at this time, it is necessary to feed soybeans, oats and even wheat cakes to war horses, and war horses are not able to run quickly for a long time, the war horse with the highest speed gallop can hold on to the second half of the hour at most, unless it is an emergency, generally no one will do this, because the war horse runs at high speed for a long timeIt is easy to lose strength and takes a long time to recover.

On weekdays, feeding war horses is not so particular, mainly forage, supplemented by some beans, or oats.

The advantages and disadvantages of the war horse are also determined by the speed of the charge, the faster the speed of the charge, the greater the impact force, the better the war horse, as for the war horse with similar charging speed, the advantages and disadvantages are determined by the body shape, the higher the body of the war horse, the better it is.

A good war horse is hard to find, for example, the price of an Arabian horse, each of which has reached more than a hundred taels of silver, and there is no market, as for the legendary thousand-mile horse, that is, the sweat and blood horse, even if it is a high-ranking general in the army, almost never seen it.

It was in the process of this conversation that Wu Fanhui and Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin gradually became familiar with each other, and there were a lot of words between them.

Through such conversations, Wu Fanhui gradually learned some of the situation of the Ming army, and also knew that the army of the Ming Dynasty was in a state of collapse, and the slightly stronger combat effectiveness were all recruited sergeants, and the military household system was basically disintegrated, and the vast majority of military households did not have the slightest combat effectiveness, and their situation was not as good as that of the peasants.

This is all talking, although Wu Fanhui is familiar with history, but everything he needs to see with his own eyes before he can understand, for example, the matter of this bandit is by no means shown in the movie hundreds of years later, people come up to fight, there is no nonsense at all, and it will not give you any time to prepare.

On the eighth day of August, Wu Fanhui and his entourage finally left the place under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture.

The place where Yan'an and Xi'an meet is called Phoenix Valley.

After the Phoenix Valley, it is Tongguan County under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture, that is, Tongchuan City hundreds of years later.

In Wu Fanhui's impression, Xi'an Mansion is much stronger than Yan'an Mansion, and the places under its jurisdiction are naturally much better than Yan'an Mansion, but after passing through the Phoenix Valley and entering the boundary under the jurisdiction of Tongguan County, the scene he saw along the way surprised him greatly, the official road is very depressed all around, even if it is the villages and towns near the official road that can be seen, there are almost no people, all sides of the official road are smooth dead tree trunks, no bark, no leaves, no grass on the ground, horses' hooves step on, and what is raised is a piece of dust.

At this time, Wu Fanhui remembered the history in his memory, in fact, the earliest place where the peasant rebellion appeared was not Yan'an Mansion, but Baishui, Chengcheng and Sanshui under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Prefecture, the common people in these places really couldn't survive and began to rebel, but the peasant rebels who had just begun to rebel were brutally suppressed, and the leaders were killed, and then the peasants in all parts of Yan'an Prefecture began to rebel, and many famous leaders emerged, including Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Zongmin and others.

When Tongguan arrived in Xi'an Fucheng, there were less than 300 miles left, and according to the calculation of time, it was at most five to six days, which means that Wu Fanhui could arrive in Xi'an Fucheng in mid-August, and he had nearly 20 days of preparation time.

When he entered Tongguan County, Wu Fanhui was not particularly anxious, there was plenty of time, and what made him even happier was that after these days, he had been able to ride a horse proficiently.

Of course, Wu Fanhui learned more, for example, when he set off every day, he had to ask about the situation along the road, he had to determine where to rest, and how long he planned to travel, although Ma Jigang and Sun Kailin were both very brave, but the three of them definitely did not dare to camp in the wilderness at night, after all, two fists are hard to beat four legs, if they encounter bandits of a certain size, they still can't deal with it.

This made Wu Fanhui think of the scouts in the army, the march of the army, must rely on accurate intelligence, but also need accurate deployment, including the most basic march, scouts will reconnoiter the situation of the road in advance, so that the commander in command of the battle has a good idea and makes arrangements and deployments.

It's no wonder that scouts are the most elite force in the military.

More than ten days to hurry, especially later riding a horse, so that Wu Fanhui has some impression of the overall terrain of Shaanxi, many places here belong to the sparse mountains, the official road on both sides of the peak can be seen at any time, these mountains are not very big, but endless, the terrain in some places is even very dangerous.

Really familiar with the terrain, Wu Fanhui understands, why the imperial court spent so much energy, that is, it is difficult to completely exterminate the peasant rebel army, there are command errors, there are also two-front combat interference, but Shaanxi's steep terrain and landform, so that the peasant rebel army has more places to hide, once the battle is unfavorable, they enter the mountains, just find a place to hide, it is difficult to search, if you change to a place in Pingchuan, the early peasant rebel army, can not compete with the official army at all.

On the tenth day of August, Wu Fanhui and his entourage arrived in Fuping.

At this time, the situation on both sides of the official road began to change dramatically, there were more people, and the people walking on the official road did not have panicked expressions on their faces, and they could also see some caravans, and the homeless people occasionally appeared, but the number was very small.

This made Wu Fanhui and others breathe a sigh of relief.

This is already close to Xi'an Fucheng, and then after passing through Sanyuan and Jingyang, it will arrive at Xi'an Fucheng, after all, it is not far from the provincial capital, and the peasant rebel army does not dare to harass these places for the time being, so the public security situation is much better.

Of course, it is impossible for these places to escape the ravages of the famine, and the obvious thing is that the trees on both sides of the official road have no leaves or bark, and they basically die, so it is conceivable that the leaves and bark have entered the stomachs of the people who have suffered from the famine.

The fresh feeling of Wu Fanhui's horseback riding slowly faded, and the situation he saw along the road made his heart very heavy, the situation in the city and the situation on the official road formed a sharp contrast, even if it was Luochuan, which was plundered by bandits, the business of inns and restaurants in the county was very good, and the homeless people on the official road were just struggling for time, they would fall down all the time, and they would never get up, they were even inferior to those death row prisoners, death row prisoners before death, and they were still able to eat a full meal.

Faintly, Wu Fanhui felt that he had to reverse this situation, a court that could not let the people have enough to eat and live and work in peace and contentment lost the meaning of its existence, and it was inevitable that it would be overthrown, even if there were many regrets and unwillingness in history.

At this moment, Wu Fanhui does not have any compassion, he mainly thinks about the hospital examination, as well as next year's township examination, where his vision reaches, that is, Yan'an Mansion and Xi'an Mansion.
