Chapter 29 Escorting Grain and Grass
He Bai watched coldly, how could he not know their intentions, seeing that the rebels were so easy to break, only the three hundred cavalry of He Bai defeated seven thousand rebel cavalry, and the remaining rebel merits were not enough for them.
When Liu Yu gave the order, He Bai heard the name of Liu Bei, the temporary governor of the county, and couldn't help but look at that guy strangely. That guy doesn't have the legendary big ears and long arms, but it's just a little different from ordinary people, and it's not as excessive as the legend.
It was that guy's words that were the most beautiful before. What is said that the most important thing in an army is grain and grass, He Bai's army is brave and invincible, and it is a good candidate to escort grain and grass. Who doesn't know that escorting grain and grass is a chore, not only is it hard, but it also has no credit. If you are a few days late, it is a great sin.
He Bai immediately remembered Liu Bei's bastard guy, but fortunately, Liu Yu persuaded He Bai not to care about it with a smile after the meeting, saying that there were still good things waiting for He Bai in Jicheng.
After the meeting, He Bai led 300 horsemen and drove more than 2,000 war horses to Jicheng. Everyone was not happy to see the scene of He Bai having fewer horses and more horses, but this was what He Bai had already negotiated with Liu Yu, since these three hundred horsemen were private soldiers, and how many seizures were selected by He Bai and handed over, and they could not be forcibly ordered. Most of the combat power of the martial arts and blood horses is on the horses, so He Bai is here to refuse the horses and starve them to death.
The Youzhou army is facing off on the border between Youzhou and Jizhou, just at the junction of Yuyang and Bohai County, closer to Zhangwu County in the Bohai Sea, and a total of more than 400 miles away from Jicheng. Because He Bai had to escort grain and grass, he couldn't help but pay more attention to everything on the way.
As soon as he returned to Jicheng and found Liu Yu's chief strategist Wei You, Wei You said with a smile: "It will take five days for the grain and grass to be collected, and He Sima can wait a few days in Jicheng." ”
He Bai bowed his hand and said, "Okay, the grain and grass are ready, please let Mr. Wei know." After that, he was about to say goodbye and leave.
I didn't want Wei Yu to take He Bai's hand and said; "Don't be in a hurry, Liu Zhijun said that He Sima won a big victory in the first battle, broke the rebel army of 7,000 horsemen, and greatly increased the morale of our army, which can be said to be indispensable. You can't thank He Sima for his merits in his position, but he can be rewarded more in other ways. ”
"How much gold and silver?" He Bai immediately showed the eyes of a wealth fan, when he was in Wuhuan, he once owned hundreds of millions of property, and at this time he had no money to spare, and he suddenly thought of the good fortune at that time. In particular, there are still 300 private soldiers and 2,000 war horses to raise, and now there is a court in the Youzhou army to help raise them, and there is nothing to do for the time being. When you become independent in the future, you will need money for everything, so you need to save some money in advance, just in case.
Wei You said with a smile: "Ten catties of gold, 100 catties of silver, and 500,000 yuan." ”
He Bai's heart immediately cooled by half, and the total was only about 700,000 or 800,000 yuan, which was too stingy. His annual income is 1,000 stones, and according to the calculation of 200 yuan per stone, he has an income of 200,000 yuan a year. Although the rewards are also three or four years, they are still relatively small.
The three hundred cavalry under He Bai's command have about 2,000 stone for a year of food alone, not to mention that he still has 2,000 war horses to raise. Although the Wuhuan horse is easy to raise and is not picky, it is equivalent to the cost of a soldier. The huge exploits of 7,000 rebel cavalry were only exchanged for a reward of 700,000 or 800,000 yuan, and a head was worth 100 yuan, and the reward was so small. He Bai didn't like it in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Liu Envoy for your reward." ”
Wei You said again: "Liu Yuanjun also ordered me to choose a mansion for you in the city for you, and then He Sima can go with his subordinates to take a look." ”
"Thank you, thank you."
When He Bai saw a mansion of more than 2,000 square meters outside the Lizhou Pastoral Mansion, he was immediately a little satisfied. The value and location of this house are more than two or three million dollars, so it is so-so worthy of his military exploits.
As soon as he entered the mansion, eighteen beautiful girls came in unison, bowed down in front of He Bai, and called: "Slaves and maids meet their masters." ”
He Bai asked hesitantly: "Are you the maidservants that Liu Zhijun gave me?" ”
All the beautiful girls responded in unison: "Yes." ”
He Bai slapped his forehead, Liu Yu, this old guy is not bad, it is gold and silver, and it is a house, and it is all sent by beautiful women, this naked attraction is really joyful, it turns out that this reward is not a one-time thing.
Yes, he once said that Qiu Liju had courtesy him had given him, and at first this old guy must not have believed it. Later, through his performance on the battlefield, he found that Qiu Liju's purchase was indeed worth the money.
It's just that he has the Han family in his heart, and Qiu Liju's purchase didn't work. If he doesn't have a good time in Han and flees back to Wuhuan, he may become another big enemy of the Han Dynasty. So I was too busy to spend a lot of money to win myself over.
He Bai remembered that he hadn't touched a woman for more than a month, and he was in his youth, how could he hold back. Immediately he shouted, "Raise your head." ”
The beautiful girls looked up in response, only to see that all of them were white and tender, delicate and lovely, kneeling in front of He Bai, there was no temptation. He Bai sighed secretly, it's still a woman of my big man, except for Anova, the Wuhuan clan is almost outstanding. Who let the Wuhuan people's food be bad, and they can't grow beautiful women.
These beautiful girls are all good girls raised by Liu Yu's old guy, whether it is temperament, dress or figure, there is nothing to say. He Bai calculated, eighteen beautiful maids, if two a day, it will take nine days to get their turn, there are too many, it seems that they can only be cheaper.
So he ordered someone to go to the camp outside the city to summon Chengzhang and other ten team leaders, give one to each of the ten team leaders, three Chengzhang, four of himself, and one more to Fu Xing, and immediately took the beautiful maid into the room to prostitute during the day.
Looking at the three small faces like red apples, kneeling in front of him shyly and nervously, the three pairs of phoenix eyes seemed to be turning around as if there was nowhere to put them. He Bai couldn't help but feel big, and reached out and grabbed the most beautiful little hand.
The girl exclaimed, but did not resist, He Bai couldn't help but inch in when she saw it, and touched the girl's little face, the girl immediately closed her eyes nervously, and snorted heavily, and her chest fluctuated. Seeing that his desire was great, He Bai stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around the girl's neck, lowered his head, and kissed the cherry lips.
The girl's whole body suddenly shook slightly, her hands were nervously grasping, and finally she grabbed He Bai's placket and hugged He Bai. This fragrant scene made people's blood gush, and the other two beautiful girls were dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
However, in the end, the two beautiful girls were separated. One stared at the beautiful eyes tightly, and the other caressed his little face with both hands, not daring to look. It's just that the gap between the fingers can't help but be too wide, and at first sight, it's a green tea girl.
He Bai had a big battle with the beautiful maid under him, and during the break, he looked at the other two beautiful maids with distinct personalities, pointed to the bold one and smiled: "What is your name?" You two just keep biting your ears and talking about something private? ”
The bold beautiful maid suddenly blushed, and couldn't say a word. The one who didn't want to touch his little face said out loud: "Her name is Aman, my name is Aru, and it is Aqi lying on the couch." ”
He Bai laughed, it turned out that one was a silly and sweet girl, and the other was a girl who liked to dress as a lady, but as for Aqi who fainted in the past, he didn't know what his personality was.
He Bai asked, "What are you talking about biting your ears just now?" ”
Aru stuck out his tongue and said softly: "Aman said, what does it mean to see Aqi seem to be in pain, joy, sadness, and comfort? If the owner will fall asleep, let's find something to try first......"
He Bai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect that the girl at this time would do the same. It seems that the servant girls who have been specially trained in the ancient big family are really different.
Seeing the delicate youthful appearance of the second daughter, He Bai wanted to rise again, and shouted: "Okay, you dare to destroy what the master wants so casually, and think that the master is so useless, just one Aqi is going to be tired and sleep." It's bold. Take off your clothes quickly, and your master will punish you well. ”
Aman was horrified and cried out, "Lord...... Master, you better look for Aru first, Aman is scared and wants to see again. ”
He Bai was furious and shouted, "Do you want to see it again?" You were the master and showed you, and now it's your turn to perform. ”
After saying a swoop, holding a woman with one hand, when Aman wanted to say something, he was already sealed by He Bai.
The two women were suddenly attacked, but they were no longer as ashamed as they appeared to be, but took the initiative to wrap up, and four small hands stroked the back of He Bai's chest at the same time, gently stroking those toned muscles. The dexterous little hand made He Bai extremely comfortable, and it was difficult to concentrate on kissing for a while. had no choice but to let go of Oman, and turned to the very capable Aru to attack alone.
Although Ah Ru can make trouble, he is sensitive by nature, and as soon as He Bai attacked, he couldn't help but feel soft all over, let out a seductive moan, and lay down weakly on the ground. Aman, who didn't want to say goodbye just now, immediately took off his clothes and hugged him from behind.
He Bai was like a greedy monkey at this time, constantly looking for different freshness in the three women, and a good show of the three women fighting He Bai was staged indoors. Although it is a cold winter, the room is full of spring.
For several days, He Bai's life was extremely happy, and finally when the grain and grass were ready, He Bai and the others didn't want to leave. If it weren't for the lofty ambition that forced him, who would be willing to leave this gentle township.
Hanshi is equal to sixty catties, a soldier eats two meals a day, because there is no oil and water, the average eats one catty per meal, and he will eat two catties in wartime. It was wartime, and one stone of rice was only enough to eat for half a month. A carriage can hold thirty stones, which is the food of thirty soldiers for half a month.
However, the journey of four or five hundred miles takes ten days. Coupled with the time to return, the 3,000 people who drove the car alone had to eat a lot of food. The army of 30,000 people in Youzhou needs 15,000 stone of grain and grass, which requires 500 carriages to transport it to ensure half a month's worth of food.
In addition to the nearly 10,000 war horses in the army, it is now the cold winter season, and a large amount of concentrate feed is needed to feed, an average horse can eat 12 to 15 catties of hay and a small amount of beans, plus there are thousands of camels and horses, although they eat less, but together, this is a large weight of 30,000 forage materials.
Coupled with all kinds of spare weapons and baggage, it took more than 1,500 carriages to transport supplies to Liu Yu's army? Why doesn't anyone talk to themselves? When He Bai looked at the mighty army of carriages in front of him, didn't he burst into tears? I finally understood what it means to say that "the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first". Why did Zhuge Liang go out of Qishan five times, basically because of the problem of grain and grass, he withdrew from the army. And why does Cao Cao like to rob people so much?
He Bai secretly kept cursing: Damn Liu Bei, you remember it for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will have a day to "repay" you in the future.
Fortunately, the food was transported by the army that had been eliminated before, and they knew a little bit about military things, and there was a special captain in charge of the overall responsibility. He Bai only needed to walk around and escort, but He Bai felt that he was about to become the monkey who escorted Tang Seng to the west.
In the early years, Sun Monkey was unconcerned and invincible. But since I met Tang Seng, I have been suffocating everything, and the original reason is because of this. He Bai hated it, his heart was spinning, and he thought about what good way he could come.
In the end, he still patted his head and laughed at himself, anyway, the main responsibility for the defense of grain transportation is not his own, he just needs to be a sentry detective, and he doesn't care about doing so much. So He Bai immediately sent his martial arts and blood cavalry to scatter in all directions, and went far away to a hundred miles away to find out the enemy's situation. As long as an enemy enters within a hundred miles, He Bai will be able to receive a notice and take some corresponding measures. This is also a common exploration method used by the Mongols, and the Han infantry army can reach 30 or 50 miles away.
