According to the arrangement, the 10,000 catties of freshly harvested grain and 3,000 catties of horse grain mixed with black beans and hay were carefully stacked on the cart by the soldiers and pushed outside the city gate.

Cui Xu, the Duke of Fuguo, received an order to send the grain to Jingbeipo, fifty miles away, and hand it over to the people who received the grain. The northern slope of Jingbei is only five miles away from Jingxian County, where the prince Li Cong is currently stationing troops, and the grain and grass are hidden here, which is easy to supply grain for the front and relatively hidden.

"My father still has to go to the west to collect grain, and this time he can't go." He said goodbye to a procession of hundreds of people outside the city gates, and a glass of liquor was poured on the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The military plane is on duty, and my father and you can't drink yet, and when you return from sending food, my father will personally pour wine for you! ”

The soldiers standing next to the ox cart responded in unison, and the shouts shook the sky for a while.

"I will live up to the expectations of my grandfather!" As he spoke, he put his weapon on his chest and bowed until the Auxiliary Nation signaled them to rise.

"Good soldier." Su Qiang, who was originally riding the horse with Fu Guogong, took a few steps forward to prepare for departure, and she turned half of her body and arched her hand to Grandpa Guo.

"There will be no further delays."

"Thank you so much." Cui Xu also returned the salute.

The team wastes no more time. Su Qiang jumped out on horseback, followed by Cui Wanyan on a short pony, and then behind was the mighty ox convoy.

According to the order, Cui Xu was responsible for guarding and escorting the grain and grass. Unfortunately, this time the order was urgent, and he needed to quickly prepare the grain and grass that would be delivered next. In this way, it becomes a problem who will deliver the food.

Fortunately, the local government sent him 50 officers and soldiers, plus 500 of his own soldiers, to form this food delivery team. Since Cui Wanyan was going, Su Qiang also asked for an order to go.

From Mingxian to Jingbeipo, the road is more smooth.

Su Qiang recalled the map in her heart inch by inch, and combined with the road map sent by the local government, she could roughly infer where the road was dangerous and where it was safe.

The danger is a canyon surrounded by mountains. The valley is 100 meters long, just enough to accommodate a few hundred of them.

And other than that, there is no precipitous place.

When the morning light rose, they set out from Ming County, and when they went to the outside of the steep Bird Valley, there was a golden light in the sky, which was about to sink into the dusk scene.

"Stop." Su Qiang raised the flag in her hand and shouted to stop the team.

"Rest in place, build a tent to cook, and rest here tonight." She commanded.

The grain and grass superintendent has become accustomed to orders from above and down, and there is no one who dares to disagree. Among the fifty officers and soldiers borrowed from Ming County, an adjutant came out and blocked Su Qiang.

"Miss Su," his eyebrows furrowed together, and his face was a little impatient, "Grandpa Guo asked us to obey the girl's orders, and along the way, the girl said stop and we stopped, and we said let's go, and we didn't say a word about the detour." But it's an open space and it's not easy to guard, so it's not a good place to rest. ”

Su Qiang smiled, raised his hand and pointed at the Bird Valley, and said lightly: "Does Deputy Lieutenant Zhou think that it is a good place to rest?" ”

Deputy Lieutenant Zhou didn't expect that he would persuade with good words, but the other party didn't give him a good look. He turned his gaze to Cui Wanyan, who had already dismounted and helped build the shed.

"Lord Shizi." He got off the horse, grabbed Cui Wanyan and said, "It's really that let's hurry up again, and after passing the Que'er Valley, it is an easy place to keep." ”

"No need," Cui Wanyan interrupted him coldly: "Everything is up to Miss Su's arrangement." ”
