Chapter 204: Eyeing the grain transport team
Mark implemented the training method passed on to him by Ma Shuo very well, and the effect was naturally very amazing, but in just a month, the team of more than 2,000 people had been reborn, and those guys who were born from mountain bandits no longer had a bit of bandit spirit on their bodies at this moment, but had the temperament of a sergeant.
Looking at the results of his training, Mark finally had a satisfied smile on his face. At this moment, Mark is very happy in his heart, and finally relies on his own efforts to build a decent team.
Don't look at his age, Mark is actually a real veteran, from an ordinary soldier to a hundred commanders, to a thousand commanders, staff generals, and captains, along the way, Mark has been very experienced.
However, the previous experience was more carried out step by step under the arrangement of others. This is the first time that I have truly acted independently.
At this moment, Mark has truly completed the transformation of self-growth.
Luo Dalong, one of the captains of the three centenarians who came to Luochuan County with Mark. After the personnel increased and two thousand-person brigades were formed, the other two hundred-person captains, Wang Qiang and Lu Tao, served as captains respectively. Luo Dalong, on the other hand, was appointed by Mark as the captain of the baggage brigade and was responsible for the logistics of the entire team.
Although Luo Dalong is the captain of the baggage brigade, he currently manages a lot of people, almost 1,500 people. These people are actually the old and weak women and children in the cottage who were subdued before.
Every cottage, of course, will not only be adult bandits. Many of these bandits have families. Mark is not a black-hearted person, he conquered other people's cottages, and absorbed those adult mountain bandits, so naturally he will not abandon those old and weak women and children.
The old and weak, women and children, although they could not participate in the battle. However, they can do a lot of logistical work. For example, cooking, such as washing clothes, such as taking care of the injured and sick, etc., and some can even be responsible for transporting food and grass.
Of course, these people also need someone to manage. This position of manager, Mark was naturally handed over to Luo Dalong. Although he also longed to fight in his heart, Luo Dalong still carried out Mark's orders unconditionally.
Not to mention, really do it, this Luo Dalong has really done a good job in logistics management, and in the past month, he has taken care of the entire cottage in an orderly manner, providing good logistics support for Mark's training.
However, Luo Dalong, who came to find Mark at this time, did not look very good-looking.
"Big Brother Long, what's going on?" Because Luo Dalong and the others are older than Mark, when it is not a formal occasion in private, Mark will call each other big brother. Mark naturally saw that there must be something wrong with Luo Dalong at this time, so without waiting for Luo Dalong to speak, he took the initiative to ask.
"Brother Ke'er, there is not much food, we have to find a way to get food!" It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Luo Dalong is responsible for logistics support, but with the old and weak women and children in his hands, there is no way to get food.
Food, that's a big deal!
"Come on, let No. 2 come over!" After thinking about it, Mark said directly to the guard.
No. 2 is the person in charge of the hidden guard who stayed with Mark, and his task is to be responsible for conveying Mark's orders to the hidden guard, and at the same time reporting the information obtained to Mark. For the sake of secrecy, none of the main figures of the hidden guard will reveal their names and will be called by number.
Among them, No. 1 stayed with Ma Shuo. No. 2, naturally, stayed with Mark. In addition, No. 3 was next to Fan Zeng, No. 4 was next to Qi Jing and Qin Wan, No. 5 was next to Bai Xuan, and No. 6 to No. 10 were next to several other important generals of the auxiliary Qin army.
Each important person is assigned a numbered hidden guard, so that these important people can make full use of the power of the hidden guard to serve their own decision-making. Of course, the permissions of different numbered hidden guards are also different, and the biggest one is naturally No. 1, because Ma Shuo has the right to know all the information of the hidden guard.
No. 2 is a young man, who doesn't look very old, and is in his early twenties, but the whole person looks very capable, and he walks with a gust of wind, but it gives people a very mysterious feeling.
Although young, No. 2 has no expression on his face, a dull face.
"My lord, what do you command?" After No. 2 arrived in front of Mark, he asked directly.
"Do you know which family in the neighborhood still has enough food and grass?" Mark said directly.
"My lord, there are three families to consider. Longkou Village is 100 miles to the south, Luoya Mountain is about 120 miles to the west, and Luochuan County is 170 miles away from us. ”
Hearing No. 2's introduction, Mark immediately knew where the three places belonged. The first two places belong to the mountain bandits, and the last place is occupied by the barbarians, and belongs to the county seat occupied by the barbarians.
"Luochuan County, how many barbarian soldiers are guarding now, and how many barbarians exist in total?" Mark actually had the idea of fighting Luochuan County.
"Lord Hui, Luochuan County, there are currently 10,000 garrisons, and the rest of the barbarians are 8,000, a total of more than 18,000 barbarians." No. 2 directly gives a relatively accurate data.
"Eighteen thousand!" Hearing this data, Mark hesitated a little, the gap in this number is still a bit big. With the two thousand people in his hands, it is obviously unrealistic to take the other party's county seat.
"Actually, my lord, we can attack their food convoys. Luochuan County, basically every other month, will transport a batch of grain and grass from outside, and there will be about 1,000 trucks each time. Without waiting for Mark to make a decision, Number 2 gave new information.
"Really!" Hearing the news, Mark couldn't help but jump up directly on his thigh.
"Really! Subordinates don't dare to lie! Number 2 said seriously.
"Okay, I went to their food caravan. No. 2, immediately provide their most accurate grain transportation route, and the latest accurate time! Mark decided to take the other side's food delivery team.
"The route, already figured out, the most recent one, was just five days later. The opposing side has a total of 2,000 people. "Unexpectedly, this No. 2 had already figured out the information clearly, and he didn't hesitate to tell Mark directly.
"Good, well done!" When Mark heard that No. 2 had reported various data so skillfully, he immediately patted the other party on the shoulder happily. It's just that Mark's strength this time is not small, and he only stumbled and almost fell on No. 2.
"Come on, notify everyone to assemble in the square!" Immediately, Mark did not hesitate to give the order to gather the people.
