The person who came was Wang Rong's eldest brother, Wang Bo. Wang Rong stepped forward, looked at his brother happily, and asked in a loud voice, "Brother, why are you here?" ”

Wang Bo quipped: "What? I'm going to see my brother, can't I? ”

Wang Rong said helplessly: "Brother said that he was laughing. ”

As soon as Wang Rong raised his hand, he made a gesture, and the soldiers of the guards not far away quickly changed their formation and turned into a yoke formation, this kind of marching formation, the cavalry was distributed on both sides in columns, and the space in the middle accommodated the infantry and could march quickly. At the same time, the formation is relatively loose, and when it is raided, it can quickly disperse and get out of danger.

Wang Bo looked at the skilled riding skills of Wang Rong's subordinates, and sighed: "The little brother who only knew how to cry his nose back then has also grown up, Wang Pu, look, the quality of these soldiers is not low." ”

Wang Bo looked back at Wang Pu who was following behind, and saw Wang Pu holding Wang Hao in one arm, and rubbing Wang Hao's face with the other hand.

Wang Rong looked at the two brothers who were playing with a smile, and said to Wang Bo: "Leave them alone, brother, let's go back to the city quickly." ”

Wang Bo nodded and responded, "Okay!" Town! ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Bo took off the horn on his waist, put it to his mouth, and blew two long and one short. The team of 1,000 behind moved quickly, raising their slightly frozen feet and rubbing their frozen hands as they went.

Wang Rong, together with Wang Bo, Wang Pu, and Wang Mao, walked in front of the queue, and soon returned to the wooden wall, where at this time stood five hundred soldiers of the prefecture who were wearing Xuan armor, holding bows and crossbows, carrying swords around their waists, and carrying infantry shields on their backs.

Wang Bo looked at the five hundred soldiers who were fully armed, and exclaimed: "Second brother, is this county so rich?" The equipment of this army is good enough. ”

Wang Rong said with a smile: "This place is close to Wolf Mountain, and there are rich mineral deposits, not only Shini ore, but also a lot of iron ore, as well as a lot of gold, silver and copper mines. ”

Wang Bo stared straight at Wang Rong and asked, "You didn't mine privately, did you?" ”

Wang Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, what do you want, I Dayong implements the official camp of minerals, and mining privately is a big crime of the clan, and my brother is not so bold." ”

Wang Mao said as if offering a treasure: "Brother, there is another mining bureau under the Western Governor's Mansion, which was established by the imperial court, and our Western Governor's Mansion only accounts for one percent of it. Most of the iron ore mined was used by the lieutenant to make steel. ”

Wang Bo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief: "Steelmaking?!" ”

Wang Rong nodded and said, "Yes, steelmaking, but the process is not too mature, and the yield is slightly lower." ”

Wang Bo asked with an interested face, "Can I go to your steelmaking place and have a look?" ”

Wang Rong said indifferently: "Brother wants to see it, of course you can." But we'll have to settle these brothers first. ”

Wang Bo nodded, that's true, if you don't find a place to warm up your brothers, they will all freeze to death here.

Ouyang Xun saw that Wang Wei and Wang Mao and his party were safe and sound, and his hanging heart finally settled, and with a wave of his hand, the swords-rattling soldiers lowered the bows and crossbows in their hands.

When Wang Bo passed through the wooden door, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, only to see that behind the wooden wall, there were five neat phalanxes of thousands of people, they were wearing armor and leather on their heads, and the first five rows of soldiers formed a dense formation, holding spears and tower shields, forming a contradictory formation. Five rows of soldiers in the back, armed with swords and shields, formed an evacuation formation.

Wang Bo asked in disbelief: "Second brother, how many soldiers do you have in the Western Governor's Mansion?" ”

Wang Rong smiled and said, "Brother, if you have any questions, let's go back to the house." ”

I saw a whistle in the middle of the military array, and the phalanx of five thousand people quickly changed formations, the spears were erected, the shields were raised, the ring-headed knives were put into sheaths, and the whole large array only had the sonorous sound of weapons, without a trace of noise.

Wang Pu's eyes were straight, I'm afraid this is not comparable to the tiger and the feather forest. He looked at his brother and blinked, which meant to ask how such a powerful soldier could be trained.

Wang Mo replied with an extremely arrogant smile, then took out the bamboo whistle on his chest, and three long voices rang out.

The phalanx of the township soldiers began to turn in unison, and at the same time began to change formations, and more than a dozen long snake formations appeared in front of Wang Bo and Wang Pu.

A larger infantry yoke formation was invisibly formed, and Wang Bo's thousand-strong team was protected in the middle.

Wang Bo's heart was very shaken, this time he came to Lucheng to see his younger brother, but he didn't expect to be shocked by his younger brother.

The huge army soon entered the barracks, and when he saw the eleven rows of gray two-story cement buildings, Wang Bo was already numb from the shock.

Under the arrangement of Wang Rong and other generals of the Western Governor's Office, 1,000 people lived in two cement buildings, Building 10 and Building 11. The goods carried by the army were sent to the warehouse for placement, and Wang Rong took Wang Bo and other generals to the governor's mansion, and in order to welcome his brother and others, he specially ordered the house to add vegetables.

Lao Yu took out his own housekeeping skills, chicken, duck and fish, beef and mutton, not to mention various dishes.

The most surprising thing for Wang Bo and Wang Pu is the roast whole sheep, which is a new dish taught by Wang Rong to Lao Yu, the whole sheep is worn on a slender wooden stick, set on the fire, roasted while rotating, and the cut meat is dipped in condiments, the taste makes Wang Bo and Wang Pu have endless aftertaste.

There is no Pinyang Dongxiang home here, "food is silent, sleep is silent." Wang Rong swallowed a mouthful of mutton, drank a sour plum soup, and asked, "Brother, where are you going with the soldiers and horses this time?" ”

Wang Bo listened to Wang Rong's culture and did not answer, but handed the two documents in the package to Wang Rong.

Wang Rong took it and opened the first letter, which was a letter of appointment, which read: "Wang Bo, the former captain of the pioneer battalion of the Pingbei Army, is hereby appointed as the captain of the Zhengbei Military Academy, and leads a thousand soldiers to be stationed in Jijiao." ”

Wang Rong read the first document, and then read the second document, which was a private letter written to him by Qin Ke and Zhang Songqi. In the letter, Qin Ke was very pleased that Wang Bo was under his command, and at the same time, in order to allow Wang Bo to concentrate on training, he handed over the chicken prevarication to Wang Bo to guard.

Zhang Songqi wrote in the letter: There have been great changes in the DPRK and China, and the prince's party, the three princes' party, and the five princes' party have all been purged, and the loss of power of the three princes has not weakened the struggle between the Dayong and the country, but has a tendency to intensify. The second prince, the fourth prince, the sixth prince and the seventh prince all went down one after another, and tried their best to compete for favor and succession, and the situation in the court was even more weird.

Wang Rong looked at what Zhang Songqi said, and sighed in his heart, even if he is as wise and martial as a saint, he will inevitably be tempted by power, he has put all the princes back on the starting line, so that all the princes have the hope of competing for the throne, which is similar to the Nine Dragons of the Manchu Kang Mazi to seize the throne.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was still tossed half to death, and Dayong couldn't withstand such a toss at all. When the battle is out, Dayong's national strength will be exhausted, and there is no other way for Dayong to wait for him than to destroy the country.
