Volume 1 Disputes and Troubled Times Chapter 57 Prairie, I'm Coming

Wang Rong thought about it in his heart, and then said to Wang Mo behind him: "Go and call Wu Mo Sima, and say that I have something important to discuss." ”

Wang Hao bowed and saluted, "Oh! Then he turned and went down the gatehouse.

After a while, Wu Mo came up from the stairs with his helmet and armor, came to Wang Rong, bowed and saluted, and remained silent, waiting for Wang Rong's command.

Wang Rong looked at Wumo and said, "How many soldiers with good riding skills are there among the township soldiers?" ”

Wu Mo said without thinking: "There are about 1,000 people in the township soldiers who are good at horsemanship, it is a team of 1,000 people in Linrong City, and the thousand leaders are Chu Luxu. ”

Wang Rong listened to Wu Mo's words and looked surprised: "Wait a while, didn't I ask Chu Luxu to go to Linrong City to serve as the county lieutenant?" Why did he run away from the village soldiers? ”

Wu Mo said with a smile on his face: "Du Lieutenant, this Linrong City has Lin Yan, the county lieutenant, and then let Chu Luxu be the county lieutenant, isn't it a waste, so when I asked him if he was willing to enter the township soldiers, he readily agreed, and then was appointed as the commander of the Linrong Township Soldiers." ”

Wang Rong's face was not good-looking, he really didn't expect that his order would be refused, if Wumo was not Qin Ke's cronies, he really wanted to dispose of him.

Wang Rong asked curiously: "Why don't I know about him becoming a thousand soldiers in Linrong Township?" ”

Wumo said: "I have already handed in the appointment documents, and you have approved it?" ”

Wang Rong patted his head and remembered that Wu Mo had indeed handed in a report on the township soldiers, and he was so busy at that time that he didn't look carefully and stamped the big seal of the Governor's Mansion.

Wang Wei had no choice but to say: "Okay, let Chu Luxu take his thousand-man team on standby at any time." ”

Wu Mo gave the order, and he asked, "What about the remaining four thousand people?" ”

Wang Wei made a decision: "Just wait for the whole training in the chicken." By the way, is Su Jie back? ”

Li Sujie, as the marquis of the military of the Western Governor's Mansion, should have led the soldiers to train and carry out tasks in Wang Rong's absence, but he did not have the patience to squat in the barracks, but invited himself out to take a team of soldiers to look for Shilu.

When Wang Rong was about to go down to the city gatehouse, a personal guard rushed over and bowed his hand and reported: "Du Wei, the military marquis has returned, and he is now on the side of the cross wall, please go quickly!" ”

After listening to the words of the guards, Wang Rong walked down the city quickly, and took the guards to the horizontal wall.

At this moment, a caravan came down the wall, consisting of more than two hundred sturdy horses, mules and camels, each carrying a large number of barrels on its back.

Li Sujie, who had a dusty face, saw Wang Rong coming and said happily: "Zhong Ming, how is it, it's time for me to come back." ”

Wang Rong looked at him and asked with a smile, "So many livestock?" What's shipped? ”

Li Sujie said with a smile: "Didn't you ask knowingly, of course it is the treasure we need the most!" ”

Wang Rong listened to Li Sujie's words, looked at the long caravan, and said with some excitement: "It won't be all kerosene, right?!" ”

Li Sujie smiled and gave a thumbs up and said, "That's right, Du Wei can guess accurately!" ”

Wang Rong was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Who sent this?" ”

Li Sujie dragged a tall and fat caravan proprietor from behind him, pointed at him and said, "It's him, I really didn't expect that our battle in Jijiao actually spread to Guanzhong, and the repercussions in Guanzhong were not small." ”

Wang Rong observed the tall and fat caravan proprietor, and saw that this person was tall and strong, with a thin callus on his tiger's mouth, and he had the temperament of a soldier in his every move.

Wang Rong took the lead in saluting and said, "May I ask the proprietor's surname, where are you from?" ”

The other party bowed back and said: "In the north of Xiabaiqian, the Gaonu people of Hexi County are mainly engaged in the wine business. ”

Wang Rong was really moved, and said happily: "Wang Rong, the governor of the Governor's Mansion in the western part of Xiashuofang County, thank you brother, it really solves my urgent need!" ”

Bai Qianbei waved his hand and said with a humble face: "This is just a little bit of strength for my Dayong warriors, we sincerely wish that the Chicken Warriors can stand tall, so that the Devil Man will sink into the sand and become the northern barrier of my Dayong!" ”

Wang Wei looked at the calm Bai Qianbei, bowed his hand, and guided: "Please ask the white proprietor to talk to the chicken." ”

The soldiers drove the cattle into the barracks and unloaded all the wooden barrels on the backs of the animals, one barrel of fifty catties, a total of one thousand barrels, a total of fifty thousand catties. Although it is fire oil, these are freshly mined stone grins, and the impurities have not been filtered out through the process, and the impurities need to be filtered to get pure and usable fire oil, and finally about 40,000 catties of fire oil.

Wang Wei invited Bai Qianbei to sit down in the big tent of the Chinese army in Ji Qian, and asked, "Bai Dongzhu, how did you get this batch of fire oil?" ”

Bai Qianbei was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed his hand and said: "Du Wei should know that our Gaonu County has produced stone grease water since ancient times, and some nearby ditches have come out of the ground. It has always been a monopoly of the imperial court, and more than a dozen oil-producing areas are stationed by troops, and the common people are not allowed to steal mining. It's just that the ban has not stopped, and the people in the vicinity have secretly used it to light oil lamps at night.

However, there are some ways to eat some leftovers, and there are so many over time. I've heard that this oil is a very powerful weapon for defending the city, so I thought about sending it to the chicken. ”

Wang Rong smiled with interest and asked, "Bai Dongzhu, if I want to buy more, can I still get it?" ”

Bai Qianbei thought for a while and said: "More than 200 barrels a month is barely enough, and I'm afraid any more will not work." ”

Wang Rong then asked, "How much does a barrel of fifty catties of fire oil cost now?" ”

Bai Qianbei looked at Wang Di, thought about it in his heart, and said: "The cost of taking oil under Xia is one tael of silver, and the market price is two taels of silver per barrel." ”

Wang Rong nodded, bowed and said, "Come on, go and get one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and then find Meng Song!" White proprietor, I would like to ask you to collect fire oil in Gaonu. I will pay an additional commission of one or two taels for each barrel of oil, and I would like to ask for 10,000 barrels of oil first. ”

Being able to get the oil oil, of course, Wang Rong will not let go of this opportunity. The most important thing in the Western Governor's Mansion is livestock, and the most suitable thing for Wang Rong to do this is the camel, which is hungry and thirsty, can carry a weight of 500 catties, and can carry ten barrels of oil, and can transport 10,000 barrels of oil.

In the twentieth year of Emperor Qin Heng, on October 17, Wang Rong received the news that the Subu Department had not yet completed the assembly of troops, and several tribes whose leaders were killed on the night of the chaotic battle fled one after another. Subshu originally planned to annex these tribes to make up for his losses, but his plan fell through, these tribes all had vice-kings as heirs, and they were unwilling to accept their tribes to be annexed by Subshu, so they fled with their tribes, and fought a few battles with the tribes during the process.

After this incident, the leaders of the other tribes clearly distrusted Subushu. Subshu stole chickens and rice, failed to annex them, and had a disagreement with other tribes gathered around the Subu tribe.

Wang Rong immediately decided to lead the government soldiers and Linrong township soldiers out of Wolf Mountain and go to the grassland to wave. Fifteen hundred cavalry, more than 6,000 war horses, pack horses, and mules marched through the canyon and disappeared into the hazy night under the gaze of Meng Song, Wumo and others.

Wang Rong and Li Sujie led 1,500 cavalry through the canyon quickly and came to the grassland in one night.

In the morning light, Wang Xin looked at the sun rising from the eastern horizon, and said to Li Sujie, the old wolf, the old dog, the sledgehammer, Qin Changqing, the iron tower, Yin He, Wu Xinghan, Liu Heze, Shao Hongxuan, Song Wenbai and Chu Luxu: "This time we went out to the grassland, and the number of people was much smaller than that of the enemy, so we have only one mission, to attack!" Remember, when we encounter a weak enemy, we must pounce on them like wolves, bite them fiercely, and destroy them; When we encounter strong enemies, we must be like foxes and avoid them. In a word, the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue. ”

Everyone nodded in unison, indicating that they understood. Wang Rong looked at the fifth marquis and said, "The Detective Department has made arrangements in Jijiao and the three county seats?" ”

The Fifth Marquis nodded and responded: "Yes, everything has been arranged, and I am going to take the inspector of the Investigation Department to serve as a scout, please allow the captain." ”

Wang Rong looked at him, shook his head, and said: "Every inspector of the Investigation Department is cultivated with countless resources, it is not easy to become a scout, it is too wasteful to be a scout, let them go where they should go, the scout is still the first capital of the government soldiers, the old wolf is fierce, the old dog is treacherous, and the scout can turn the scout of the mane man around." ”

"Whoa! Captain, just take a look. The old dog said with a wicked smile.

"I will live up to the trust of the captain." After the old wolf finished the military salute, he pulled the old dog and transferred the troops.

The arrival of a group of thousands of cavalry on the steppe is not a very alarming thing, because the steppe is too big. Wang Rong led his troops to advance towards the Subu Department along the mark engraved by the Detective Division, although he planned to conduct a guerrilla attack in the grassland, but if there was a chance to stab Subushu, he was very happy.
