The soldiers were divided into two teams, and the Chen Da brothers were asked to lead people to manage the carts of the whole army and transport the baggage and capture. The rest of the river workers were all handed over to the brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao to assist the people in evacuating! Regarding the request of Xiao Jiasui, the commander-in-chief of the march, Wang Lun naturally had nothing to implement.

Although these river workers are also from the common people, they have been militarized, and most of them are strong young people, not only can they take care of themselves during the march, they do not need to be distracted by the cottage, and they can even help manage the people. Moreover, many of these people brought their families up the mountain with them, so that they could share the people, and there was a natural element of closeness contained in it, which was just right.

And in this way, Shi Jin's battalion was completely liberated, and if there was any emergency on the way, he could immediately enter the battle.

"That's the best!" Xiao Jiasui said with a smile, with Shi Jin's battalion of men and horses, plus more than 1,000 troops under Yang Chun as mobile troops, his heart was also much wider.

The forwards, the middle army, and the guards were all arranged, and there was one most important task, which Wang Lun decided to hand over to Wu Song.

This time, in the ten suburban counties of the Daimyo Prefecture, plus Yuancheng County, where the prefecture is located, after the mobilization of Liangshanbo in the past two days, there were more than 8,900 households (not all counties were able to recruit more than 1,000 households to go up the mountain as Zhou Jin's achievements), and nearly 55,000 people were willing to go up the mountain with the army, which brought great pressure to the logistics supply of the Liangshan army.

Although these people only accounted for about half of the total population of the Daimyo's mansion, the amount of food consumed in a day was not a simple number, and it was calculated according to two Song Jin per person per day (at this time, the army was marching rapidly. It is certainly impossible to compare with the standard configuration of the cottage), 26,000 river workers plus 55,000 people, plus four battalions of men and horses and 1,200 soldiers, the total number of people reached more than 86,000 people, and the food consumed in a day was more than 170,000 catties, or about 1,700 stones.

This time, from the Daimyo's Mansion to Yunzhou on the north bank of Shuibo, more than 300 miles away, this time he marched with the people, even if the old and weak women and children had horses and carts to travel, Wang Lun did not dare to be too optimistic. Thank goodness it was there in twenty days.

It will be counted as twenty days. I also had to bring 34,000 stone of grain, which was enough to eat along the way, but unfortunately at this time the cart was already full, and there were only more than 10,000 horses captured by the Daimyo's Mansion. Carrying 300,000 catties of food on his body (the remaining transportation capacity also has to carry enough horse food and the elderly and children who are inconvenient to walk). plus 500,000 catties of grain carried by some river workers and some young and middle-aged people. A total of 800,000 catties of grain has already brought this baggage transport team to the limit, but it can barely last the army for five days.

So. The task of raising food is arduous, and it can be said that it is related to the life and death of the entire team. This kind of thing can only be handed over to Wu Song, a delicate brother, and Wang Lun can feel at ease.

"Brother, in fact, in this Daimyo's Mansion, the grain is easy to raise, and we have reserved several county towns along the road without moving him, and we will take his grain all the way. When you arrive in Bozhou, try to raise grain and grass among the people, even if you spend a little more money, and survive this time first, if you really have to do it as a last resort, you can attack the county seat as appropriate. It will be much easier to do in Yunzhou, and we have our cottage to receive grain and grass. So the most difficult time, it should be during the period when you left the Daimyo's Mansion and didn't connect with the cottage, brother, you should discuss with Lu Yuanwai and Yan Xiaoyi when you encounter trouble, and think twice! ”

"Brother don't worry, but with the younger brother here, you can't let the army run out of food and grass!" Wu Song cut the railway.

If he was not at ease with this brother, how could Wang Lun give him such an important task. I saw Wang Lun patting Wu Song on the shoulder, and said to the leaders present: "Brothers, you still have to work hard, and when you get to the cottage, I will give you a banquet to celebrate." It's just that before returning to the mountain, I hope you will be cautious and careful! Along the way, Xiao Junshi's military order is my military order, and if you violate it, you will be severely punished! ”

"......What do you want me to do," Li Kui muttered with his head down. Seeing this, Fan Rui pulled Li Kui below.

Wang Lun saw all this in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh secretly. At this time, the trapped camp is like a wild horse, unable to submit his riders, and it is really unstable for him to let him out of the gang this time.

In fact, Wang Lun's original intention of building the camp was to give full play to the strengths of his leaders, and use Li Kui and his three like-minded lieutenant generals to establish a trap camp. Fortunately, Wang Lun still had a back hand at that time, leaving Fan Rui in the camp as a supplementary means to Li Kui, who had no overall view. Despite this, Wang Lun was still a little worried in his heart, if it weren't for the current overstretched strength of the cottage, Yuan Lang and Yu Qi in the infantry army had just separated, and the two battalions of soldiers and horses were newly built, and he would not have this trouble at this time.

The reason is that there are only a few infantry generals, which leads to insufficient battalions.

Fortunately, Bian Xiang asked Xu Guanzhong to convince him, and he had another general under him, the general under Tian Hu in the original trajectory, and this time he was only afraid that he would be positioned as the leader of the infantry army. When he returned, he was ready to use him as the general of the infantry army and form the seventh battalion of the infantry army.

There's no way, who calls the cottage has always been a pattern of strong horses and weak steps.

"Let's go and get ready, and go back to rest early! Tomorrow's fifth watch is over, and I will practice it for everyone outside the east gate! Wang Lun bowed to everyone.

Everyone said goodbye in turn, and saw Lu Zhishen and Wu Song go back first, Shi Jin was still staying here with Xiao Jiasui because he wanted to hand over to Lu Fang, Fan Rui dragged Li Kui back, and was bumping into Xu Guanzhong and Han Shizhong with the two leaders who returned to the heavenly camp, Wang Lun saw that it was An Daoquan and Hu Sanniang, guessed their intentions, and said: "Doctor Anshen, I said in advance, you and Sanniang retreated with the wounded with the infantry first, the battle here is imminent, this place is about to become a dangerous place, and the two of you are inconvenient here!" ”

An Daoquan glanced back at Hu Sanniang, Hu Sanniang understood, and said: "Brother, our camp is the name you personally named, called Huitian Camp, and it is our responsibility to save lives and help the wounded!" Just because the big war is imminent, the little sister and the divine doctor must not leave, otherwise where will the soldiers be! ”

Seeing that Hu Sanniang was dressed in red armor at this time, her heroic posture was not as sluggish as when she first went up the mountain, and the whole person looked much more cheerful.

It seems that time is indeed the cure for all heart diseases! Wang Lun sighed secretly, and was happy for her in his heart. In this way, Hu Cheng can completely put his mind at ease. Immediately said: "Sister, this time is not as usual, the enemy and I are very different, you and Doctor An are here, I can't rest assured!" When you return to the camp, you only need to leave twenty military doctors who can ride horses with you, and two of them should be withdrawn with the army! Remember, before the fifth watch tomorrow, gather at the East Gate with the team! ”

"But ......" Hu Sanniang still had to argue, but he didn't want An Daoquan to sigh and said, "Since my brother thinks about us like this." What else do we have to say! Three ladies. Let's go back! ”

Hu Sanniang was stunned, but saw An Daoquan with his back to Wang Lun, and winked at her, although Hu Sanniang didn't understand what he meant. But out of respect for Ataoquan. Or no longer insist on their own opinions. The two saluted Wang Lun and turned to leave.

Wang Lun felt that An Daoquan was a little abnormal today, but he didn't have time to think about it yet. was interrupted by Han Shizhong, Wang Lun waved his hand, temporarily stopped Han Shizhong, and instructed Xiao Jiasui: "Along the way, pay more attention to returning to Tianying, the people here are the treasures of our cottage!" ”

Xiao Jiasui smiled and nodded yes, then Wang Lun asked Han Shizhong what was the matter, Han Shizhong glanced at Xu Guanzhong, and said with a smile: "That red-haired ghost Liu Tang of Erlong Mountain, he has not been idle in the past two days, and he actually made a team of one or two thousand people come out, he heard that the army was leaving, and took the initiative to stay and fight side by side with his brother!" ”

Wang Lun knew about this matter, and this group of prisoners, who numbered three or four thousand, was a big burden to march on the road, and he had to eat and drink without saying anything, and he had to prevent him from rebelling. It's too much energy.

Previously, when dealing with the prisoners, the two military divisions suggested that they be dismissed immediately, if they were locked up for a long time, when the officers and troops of the states arrived, these people might be absorbed, and they would become the force to pursue them, and the gains outweighed the losses! If they are dismissed immediately, these people will not dare to stay near the city for a long time, even if the officials and soldiers arrive in the future, it will not be an overnight matter to search for them.

Wang Lun was very pleased that these two talented and wise military advisors were not murderous people, although these forbidden troops were soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but they could not escape the word "compatriots" after all. On the battlefield, there is no way to fight to the death, but when the soldiers are collected and the war is extinguished, Wang Lun does not want to do things too desperately when treating his own countrymen.

At that time, when this group of people was about to be dismissed, each person was given five taels of silver for the journey, and at that time, there were almost one or two thousand people who wanted to vote for Liangshan on the spot, Wang Lun asked Yang Zhi to screen Suo Chao and Zhou Jin for the sake of insurance, and finally left more than 1,200 people. At this time, Liu Tang somehow heard the news that Wang Lun was going to release people, and he wanted to recruit these prisoners who were not wanted by Liangshan. Wang Lun was so worn by him that he couldn't do it, and he took pity on him for repaying Gai's kindness, so he didn't stop him.

Things in the world are such coincidences, it really says Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Han Shizhong said Liu Tang on the front foot, and Liu Tang rushed over on the back foot, and when he saw Wang Lun, he rushed forward and said: "The elder brother is personally the queen of the army, and the younger brother is willing to help!" ”

There are no outsiders here, so Wang Lun is not taboo when he speaks, and said to Liu Tang: "I understand my brother's kindness!" Your side is full of newcomers, and they can't stand the battle formation, and it's still good to retreat before the battle, so I'm afraid of a counterattack! ”

Liu Tang was startled, and hurriedly looked at Xu Guanzhong, after two days of contact, he found that this military advisor was really called a military advisor, and Wu Yong of his own cottage could not be compared with him. As the saying goes, goods are better than goods are lost, and people are more dead than people, this is the truth.

At this time, Liu Tang was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly looked at Xu Guanzhong as if asking for help, Xu Guanzhong saw this, nodded and added: "These surrendered troops, we didn't want to accept them originally, I'm afraid that we will make trouble halfway and cause my nearly 100,000 army to make a mistake, then it's really a big loss!" ”

Liu Tang was shocked and said: "How should I be born?" Don't hide from a few brothers, Xiaozhai since Wang Lun's brother personally handed over to me and others, has been many disasters and disasters, so long, up and down, in the end, there are only 3,000 minions, these 2,000 people, it is very important to our cottage, if they can be brought back safely, Liu Tang will take this life in exchange for it is worth it! ”

Everyone present saw that they all looked at each other, Liu Tang was a person, everyone more or less understood, and knew that he was not a man of letters, and this time he was willing to devote himself so much to the cottage, they all sighed.

Liu Tang said everything about this, Wang Lun didn't worry about asking him to lead the two thousand troops alone and go separately, if this group of people killed Liu Tang halfway and broke up and fled, wouldn't he have to feel guilty for a lifetime?

Thinking of this, Wang Lun glanced at Xiao Jiasui, he was the commander-in-chief of the march, Wang Lun wanted to hear his opinion at this time, Xiao Jiasui saw Wang Lun looking over, and muttered for a moment and said: "Brother Liu Tang, I have more than 80,000 people here, and you have one or two thousand troops there, which is more important, it goes without saying." It's just that my Liangshan is righteous, and my brother is like a brother to you, so I make a suggestion at this time, do you think this is good? ”

Liu Tang listened attentively to Xiao Jiasui's slow words, listened and listened, his face couldn't help showing a grateful expression, and he bowed to Xiao Jiasui at the moment, bowed down and said: "If you succeed this time, you are all my Liu Tang's reborn parents!" (To be continued......)
