Chapter 183: Preparation

It didn't take three days to straighten out the soldiers and horses, but Zhu Song asked Zhu An to set off again in three days.

On the one hand, it is unlikely that Yunzhou can hold it, and the 20,000 people of the Jianwei army will not play a big role, and no matter when they go, they will not be able to change the defeat.

In any case, Juan is his son, and he doesn't want to see Juan die on the battlefield, or never turn back because of defeat.

If Yunzhou had been lost before Zhu An arrived, then Zhu An at least did not have to participate in the war, neither died nor defeated.

On the other hand, Zhu Song wanted to see if Yu Hao could arrive within these three days.

Yu Hao had shown a good talent in leading troops before, and maybe there was a way to defeat the barbarians.

Now I only hope that King Pingnan's Yunzhou army can hold out for a while longer.

At this time, the civil and military officials had already left the Taihe Hall one after another, and Zhu An knelt on the ground, clenched his fists, and his eyes were red.

At this moment, Chang Tian walked over and said, "Third prince, let's hurry to the Jianwei army camp to rectify the soldiers and horses, and prepare to go!" ”

Although Chang Tian has not been on the battlefield since he became an official, he was not surprised that Zhu Song ordered him to accompany Zhu An on the expedition as a supervisor.

He could see that the emperor still cared about the third prince Zhu An, and now that the fourth prince was dead, only the crown prince and the third prince were left in the court.

In order to balance the power of the crown prince, the emperor seems to be intent on bringing him closer to the third prince.

To put it bluntly, the emperor just wants him to become the third prince Zhu An!

Although he is not optimistic about Zhu An, since it is the emperor's arrangement, he can only abide by it.

It's like supporting Yunzhou, which seems to be an impossible task, but he will do his best.

Zhu An wiped his tears and said, "It's troublesome for Master Chang to rectify the soldiers and horses, I still have something to do, go first!" ”

With that, Zhu An left the Taihe Hall without looking back.

Looking at Zhu An's back, Chang Tian was stunned in place, is there anything more important now than rectifying the soldiers and horses?

After a while, Tsuneta shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Zhu An walked straight out of the palace and went straight to the Haoyue Manor outside the Wudu City.

If the emperor sent the Zhenguan army to him, he would still have more or less confidence in defeating the barbarians, but now he only has 20,000 new soldiers in his hands, and he will never be the opponent of the barbarians.

If you go to Yunzhou like this, there is no difference from looking for death!

Now he can only pin all his hopes on Hao, and if he wants to go to Haoyue Manor, Hao will come back!

……

At the same time, upon learning of the news of the barbarian invasion, the daily training volume of the Haoyue Manor Dart Master also doubled.

Li Shihan and Han Bing also sent a large number of dart masters from the surrounding towns to return to Haoyue Manor.

On the wall, Li Shihan looked at the dart masters who were training in the square, and his eyes couldn't help but show a touch of melancholy.

Li Shihan knows very well that now that the south is in an emergency, Yu Hao's temper will definitely not sit idly by, and Yu Hao may be on his way back to Wudu City at this time.

What she has to do is to help Yu Hao prepare everything before Yu Hao comes back.

"Master Li, according to your order, the nearby dart masters have basically been transferred back, and now in Haoyue Manor, in addition to the dart master who is responsible for guarding the manor, there are fifteen hundred dart masters on standby at any time." Han Bing arched his hand and said.

After this period of development, the number of registered dart masters has exceeded 2,500!

In addition to the people and horses taken away by Yu Hao and Wangcai, Han Bing could only draw out these 1,500 people.

After all, whether it is a manor or a Haoyue shop in other towns, it needs a dart master to defend and deliver goods.

Li Shihan nodded and said, "Thank you Lao Han, by the way, how is the purchase of the war horse going?" ”

Hearing this, Han Bing scratched his head with some shame and said: "Owner, war horses are rare in Daqian, I have used all my connections, and I have only bought more than 800 horses, plus there are only 900 horses in the manor, which is still a lot worse." ”

"Work harder, before the lord comes back, you must let every dart master be matched with a war horse, money is not a problem, first use up the money earned from selling Long Sydney, if it is not enough, come to me again." Li Shihan said solemnly.

According to Yu Hao's request, Long Sydney did not sell it as soon as it was transported back from Sweet Pear Village, but first took out a small part and put it in the private room of the auction hall for the VIPs participating in the auction to taste.

The VIPs were full of praise for Long Sydney after tasting Long Sydney, and many people in Wudu City were talking about Long Sydney in the next few days, and they had an endless aftertaste of Long Sydney.

At this time, Li Shihan put Long Sydney pear in Haoyue Store to sell.

Although the price of a pound of dragon pears was as high as ten taels of silver, in just two days, all the dragon pears shipped from Sweet Pear Village were sold out.

Haoyue Manor made a net profit of more than two million taels of silver.

Li Shihan planned to exchange all this money for war horses in case of emergency.

"I'll think of a way again, if it really doesn't work, I'll go to Wei Guogong, they have 20,000 war horses in the Zhenguan army, maybe they can sell us some." Han Bing nodded and said, Li Shihan has already handed over all the more than two million taels of silver to him, and there is still a lot left at this time.

He wasn't worried about money, but the problem was that the horse was too hard to buy.

You must know that a horse that can be used as a war horse must not only be strong, but also have a certain running speed of a certain standard.

Although there are also people in many villages who raise horses, those who are hungry and full are all skinny, and it is okay to carry something on weekdays, but they certainly do not meet the standard of war horses.

These more than 800 war horses were basically bought from some dignitaries, and only a small part of them were raised by ordinary people.

If he really couldn't buy a suitable horse, Han Bing had no choice but to be cheeky and go to Wei Guogong.

"In addition to war horses, the Ordnance Department should also speed up the production of ordnance, if it really can't work, recruit people, wages are not a problem, but to ensure quality." Li Shihan commanded.

"Obey, I'll go and inform Uncle Yin." Han Bing nodded and hurriedly ran towards the ordnance department.

At this moment, Li Shihan saw that not far from the manor, Zhu An staggered over.

Li Shihan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the door to welcome him out, and came to Zhu An's side.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince, His Royal Highness's dividends have been prepared, as of yesterday, there are a total of 1.78 million taels of silver."

Zhu An glanced at Li Shihan and asked, "Is Yu Hao back?" ”

"The lord has not yet returned to the manor." Li Shihan shook his head.

A flash of disappointment flashed in Zhu An's eyes, and he no longer paid attention to Li Shihan and slowly walked towards the manor.

Li Shihan followed behind Zhu An, a little confused, on weekdays, Zhu An always looked like he was smiling when he got the dividends, what happened today, could it be that the dividends were too small?

At this moment, Zhu An suddenly spoke: "Did Yu Hao tell you when he will come back?" ”

Li Shihan shook his head again.

"Ahh ”
