In the face of Li Hao's request, Liang did not raise any doubts, after all, Li Hao has proved that he is reliable with practical actions in the past two years.

However, Liang still refused: "You also know that I don't like vulgar things, and you should find someone else to manage the affairs of the workshop."

In the past two years, you have also promoted a lot of people in the clan, so why don't you let them help you supervise this matter. ”

Li Hao replied: "If the general things are handed over to them, it is fine, but the paper-making technique is related to the future of my Yuan family, and I can't rest assured that someone else will take care of the children." ”

Seeing that Li Hao said so seriously, Liang couldn't help but be silent for a while, and said: "I want you to go to Xuzhou this time, and you also plan to discuss this matter with your father.

Then I won't ask you, and I will help you take care of the paper workshop during this time. ”

"Thanks to my mother, I know that my mother will help me." Hearing Li Hao's words, Liang replied: "Come on, you don't have to sell it well with me, go down." ”

After Li Hao retired, a smile appeared on Liang's face, and all the things that Li Hao had tossed in the Yuan family over the years seemed to have brought a trace of vitality to her lonely life.

Of course, Li Hao didn't see this scene, at this time Li Hao was already preparing for logistics, after all, the purpose of going this time was for actual combat.

After all, there is not much time for Li Hao to toss, and he can only gather the troops after he is busy with the harvest, and then he has to return before the spring ploughing of the next year.

In order to save time, Li Hao started to prepare early, first of all, he needed to send someone to Xuzhou to inform Yuan Pei, after all, he had to have a reasonable reason to cross the state border with a large team.

Let Yuan Pei place an order in the name of the requisition and dispatch department, and he will be able to deal with it in the official face.

In addition, the logistics of the march along the road had to be arranged by Li Hao in advance, after all, this time Li Hao could not let the government along the way prepare supplies, so he could only bring it himself.

When the farm was over, Li Hao's side had just made arrangements, so he hurriedly gathered the troops, and as soon as Yuan Pei's order arrived, he could officially set off.

And Yuan Pei's side didn't let Li Hao wait long, and soon sent the order with a military horse.

So Li Hao officially resigned from the Liang family and embarked on the road to Tan County, Xuzhou, where the bandit camp was located.

This line of more than 600 miles, most of the passage is plain, the road is still very easy to walk.

Therefore, in the first few days, Li Hao led the whole army to travel 100 miles a day, and the field drill was regarded as an assessment of the degree of training of these troops on weekdays.

It wasn't until he approached Ju County that Li Hao began to lower his marching pace, because according to the news sent back by Yuan Pei, bandits were entrenched in the Daqing Mountain and Jiuxian Mountain area of Ju County.

Although Li Hao is confident that they will definitely not lose after his own training, but now there is no bow and crossbow and armor stomach after all, and it is inevitable that there will be losses when they really fight, and Li Hao is reluctant.

Therefore, when passing through this area, Li Hao asked people to hold swords and build up momentum with great fanfare to deter bandits.

In the end, Li Hao's actions did play a role, and the thieves saw that these people were vicious and vicious, so they simply let Li Hao and the others leave without incident.

In the end, it took eighteen days for Li Hao to enter Tan County with his troops, and met the envoy sent by Yuan Pei to greet him, only to learn that Yuan Pei had now gone to Xiapi to suppress the bandits.

However, before Yuan Pei left, he had already arranged a camp for Li Hao and them, and explained that Li Hao would wait after he set up camp, and the rest would wait for him to come back.

This would have been no problem, after all, after marching these days, the necessary rest is still needed.

It's just that when Li Hao asked when Yuan Pei would come back, he got an answer that he didn't know either, saying that he wanted to see the progress of Xia Pi, so Li Hao was naturally dissatisfied.

The time that I can be free here is only more than four months, and it takes a month to go back and forth on the road and add the necessary rest, and the rest of the time is only three months, and this time not only needs to train the bow and crossbow, but also has to fight one or two actual battles, how can I have time to be so idle.

So Li Hao made up his mind, and when he settled down in the camp, he had to send someone to find Yuan Pei in Xiapi, not to mention the rest, at least he had to allocate a batch of bows and crossbows first.

As a result, after Li Hao arrived at the camp, before he could send someone away, he met Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi, which made Li Hao quite surprised.

After all, the Xuzhou bandits did not concentrate all the soldiers and horses in one place, in addition to the large battalion in Tanxian, Guangling and Langya also had large battalions.

After all, Li Hao came here this time to borrow the power of the imperial court to train his own troops, and Wan Songbai was Emperor Wen's confidant, so it was a little embarrassing to meet like this, so Li Hao originally thought that Yuan Pei would let himself stagger with him.

However, Wan Songbai's reaction next made Li Hao completely calm down, only to see him say: "Yuan Gongzi has arrived, and your father said some time ago that you will lead the troops to help in the battle, and let me help you clean up the camp."

Originally, Brother Cheng Xian and I calculated the days, and thought that you would have to arrive in two days, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly.

Fortunately, Mrs. Cheng Jiadi had a heart and prepared it in advance, otherwise we would be embarrassed. ”

Hearing this, accompanied by the two rather kind-hearted old faces of Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi, it made Li Hao feel a little close.

But Li Hao sobered up in an instant, you must know that although these two people are not bad people, they are by no means pure people.

For their own people, these two people may indeed be happy to help, but with the friendship they have met before, it is not enough for these two people to regard themselves as their own.

So just listen to some words, don't take them seriously, although Li Hao doesn't think that these two people will risk offending the Yuan family to their own detriment, but bury themselves in a few small pits, Li Hao believes that they did it.

However, from this sentence, Li Hao also extracted a piece of information, that is, Yuan Pei asked him to help him settle in the camp.

Since Wan Songbai dared to say this in front of so many people, he must not be lying, so he was afraid that he could guess his intentions, but he did not show any abnormality.

Does that prove that his act of picking wool is not a special case, so he was not surprised, no wonder after he sent the letter, Yuan Pei agreed so readily.

Li Hao then replied: "The main thing is that this road is quite peaceful, and the footsteps are naturally fast, and there are also two generals who have contributed to this." ”

Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi smiled when they heard this, and then took Li Hao's praise, and then Wan Songbai said: "Let's go, take you to see the camp prepared for you, if there is anything wrong with it, tell me directly, and I will find someone to help you decorate." ”

After speaking, Wan Songbai was about to step forward directly and pull Li Hao away, and then Li Hao avoided him silently.

After all, pulling and pulling with an uncle is really unsightly, of course, Li Hao still accepted this kindness.

After all, it was a newcomer, and an acquaintance could save a lot of trouble after all, so he said, "Okay, I'll go with the two generals to have a look." ”

Then Li Hao turned his head and let his subordinates rest on the spot, and he only took a few guards to follow Wan Songbai to the depths of the camp.

After arriving at the place, Li Hao found that the garrison area arranged for him was actually next to the big tent of the Chinese army, a good location.

Of course, Li Hao estimated that the reason for such an arrangement was due to his father's instructions, and secondly, Wan Songbai somewhat did not believe in the strength of Li Hao's command.

I am afraid that if I encounter a night attack by the enemy, I will collapse under nervousness, and if I provoke a roar in the camp, everything will be over.

Just as Li Hao was thinking and chatting with Wan Songbai, a few people walked out of the side and saluted Li Hao.

Li Hao saw that these were all people who had followed Yuan Pei earlier, and it seemed that Yuan Pei had not taken everyone away, and had left some helpers for himself.

It's just that they don't seem to be very shrewd, after all, even Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi, two outsiders, can arrive at the camp gate early to greet them, but these people are waiting here.

I don't know if these people don't have the heart, or if they don't know if they have arrived.

However, on Li Hao's side, he didn't treat them coldly because of what he thought in his heart, after all, what he thought in his heart was inconsistent with what he did most of the time, and Li Hao had decades of experience in this.

I greeted them one by one, inquired about their current situation, and praised them and comforted them, and it was at this time that Li Hao realized how there could be a woman behind this group of people.

You must know that although the Han Dynasty was open to the people, and the status of women was quite high, there were generally no women in the barracks, after all, there were differences between men and women.

It wasn't until he glanced at it a few more times and saw that it was an acquaintance he had never met, that Li Hao expressed his understanding.

However, Li Hao was silent at that time, and after taking care of all the people from the Yuan family, he asked them to go down to rest first, and then talk about them in detail when they had time.

After they dispersed, Li Hao turned his head as if he had just discovered Xiao Yuanyi, and asked Wan Songbai, "...... is this?" ”

Wan Songbai replied: "This is Xiao Yuanyi, the wife of General Cheng, who has always followed General Cheng and his army to fight and manage military affairs, and he has a lot of military achievements.

This time the camp adjustment and arrangement were all done by her, which is much better than those under my account. ”

After hearing this, Li Hao pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said: "It turned out to be Mrs. Cheng, this woman does not let her eyebrows be shaved, but it is admired by the younger generation." ”

Xiao Yuanyi replied: "Yuan Gongzi is polite, I just did what I had to do." ”

Then he said goodbye to Cheng Shi, and said goodbye to Li Hao, saying that he was going to do other things, so he wouldn't bother.

Wan Songbai wanted to take Li Hao to other places at this time, but Li Hao hurriedly refused: "It's not too late for me to get acquainted with the big camp later, let's bring the others in and camp first, after all, it's not too early."

If the two generals have anything else to do, they can go and get busy first, and when my side is properly arranged, I should set up a banquet for the two of them. ”

Li Hao's original intention was to send Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi away, so that he could do things quietly and quietly.

But Wan Songbai didn't seem to hear the meaning of Li Hao's words, and said directly: "There has been no war these days, and it is boring for us to go back to the camp, so it is better to help you here." ”

Later, Cheng Shi also agreed, just to stay and help, and Li Hao couldn't forcibly refuse, so he had to take the two of them back together.

It's just that there is a big difference between what they say and what they say in action, and these two people are obviously not energetic when they really work.

After all, these two people have been directing others to work until now, and there are few opportunities to work in person.

Not to mention that there is a fixed pattern for Li Hao to set up camp here, all of which are the experiences summarized by Li Hao in the Song Dynasty, which are undoubtedly much higher than the level of Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi.

As a result, these two people are not to say that they are commanding, even if they get started, they are mostly helping, and Li Hao has no choice but to pull the two out and talk alone, so as not to let them hinder others from working.

The two of them may also feel that they are a bit of an eyesore staying here, but they were persuaded to follow Li Hao into a nearby Yuan family's tent to sit down.

It's just that in the conversation that followed, the words revolved around the camping method just now, and they looked very interested.

didn't mention that he wanted to let Professor Li Hao do it, but there was this meaning everywhere, which made Li Hao feel a little funny.

However, for this point, Li Hao had no intention of keeping it secret, after all, it was not an important matter, and it would not be in the way if it was learned.

Then he said directly: "This method is actually not complicated, if the two generals are interested, I can send someone to your camp to teach one of the sleds." ”

Hearing this, Wan Songbai was overjoyed, but he still said: "How embarrassing is this, how can we learn your family's method." ”

Li Hao replied: "What kind of method is this, it's just to summarize some lessons from predecessors, and I have a relationship with the two generals, so let's take it as a meeting gift, and I hope the two of you don't shirk." ”

Having said this, Wan Songbai got off the donkey and said: "Yuan Gongzi is so polite, then we will be disrespectful, and when you settle down here, I will invite you to go to Haosheng to eat and drink." ”

Li Hao said: "Then I'm not welcome, but I'll invite you for this first meal, it just so happens that I brought some specialties from Jiaodong, and I can't leave it for too long."

When the time comes, I will find a place in Tanxian County, and I will invite General Wan, General Cheng, and the family scrolls of the two to the banquet together to taste the food and wine of Jiaodong. ”

"Okay, then it's decided, first Yuan Gongzi will invite, then my old man will invite, and finally Cheng Xiandi will invite you, so that you can also open your mouth well." Wan Songbai replied.

After the matter was agreed, the two sat for a long time before leaving, and took away the instructors that Li Hao promised to send out, saying that after seeing the camp on Li Hao's side, they felt that their camp was really unsightly, and they had to change it quickly.

Li Hao is also helpless about this, but in order to restore his purity as soon as possible, Li Hao is also quite willing to do this.

Two days later, Li Hao took a turn around the Yuan family in the camp and learned more about the situation in Xuzhou today.

By the way, he sent someone to buy a house in the county seat of Tanxian County to entertain the Wang family and the Cheng family.

At this time, Li Hao had also figured out that Wan Songbai was following his wife and Wan Wan's wife at this time, and there were more people following Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi, Cheng Yong, Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong's three sons were all there, and there was also a Mrs. Qingcong.
