Cao Hao smirked: "Stunned, your statement is quite interesting, and there is some truth in thinking about it carefully." If...... If this coin had been turned a little faster, wouldn't it have been able to do more?"

Li Wuchang nodded and said modestly: "I only understand the rough." The specifics are, of course, more complicated. ”

Boss Zhou sighed: "No wonder the law marshal wants to vigorously promote business and stimulate production demand and speed!"

Li Wuchang said with a smile: "Boss Zhou's word stimulation is remarkable!"

Boss Zhou smiled and hurriedly beckoned everyone to eat.

Because of the presence of Master Canghai, they are all vegetarian dishes and no wine, but they are all very good and appetizing.

During the meal, Master Canghai asked Boss Zhou some questions intentionally or unintentionally, all of which were common things or observations, and Boss Zhou answered carefully without the slightest exaggeration or concealment.

"There are even merchants from Tongchuan and Hanchuan coming to buy goods?" Master Canghai was surprised.

"Of course!"

Boss Zhou nodded as a matter of course, "Jia Song has been pinching with several big Kou for a long time, and there has been no frontal large-scale battle, just a war of attrition and guerrilla warfare......, the loss of civilians is serious, the land is deserted, where can the materials keep up?"

Master Canghai was stunned and said, "Isn't that why you support them to continue fighting?"

Li Wuchang said: "Master, I know what you want to say, but you can't stop it, and I don't want to stop it for the time being." Without our French army, there are other channels. Now that the remnants of the imperial court have flocked to the western part of Liangzhou, the next battle will escalate. ”

Canghai asked in a deep voice, "Will the marshal maintain balance?"

Li Wuchang nodded without hesitation, "Of course." Next, I will move some articles on supplies, and I will also station more elites at the junction of Xicheng and Tongchuan for deterrence...... The master looked embarrassed, do you think I'm too hateful?"

Master Canghai was silent.

Li Wuchang continued: "It stands to reason that I should have eliminated Liangzhou and Jingzhou first, but then the loss would be very large, and the Khitans would not give me that time." Anyway, if you want to die, let a few big guys and the court fight to the death first, and it's best to die. Master, as I said before, I am a vulgar person, and I should take care of my own people first, you should remember?...... Of course, external troubles like the Khitan are listed separately and counted separately!"

Master Canghai sighed.

He has traveled for a long time and has been to many places, and it is only at this moment that he feels that the land of Kyushu is not so simple.

When talking to Li Wuchang, I occasionally feel that some remarks are too ruthless and cold-blooded, but after careful analysis, it is the most rational.

Nothing to say for a night.

On the second day, the group continued on the road and soon came to Xicheng County.

Master Canghai found that Xicheng County was indeed much worse than Fangling, not so popular, and it didn't feel so safe, but it was full of "military flavor", and he often bumped into the squad of the French Shuai Army who patrolled or trained.

There are also caravans that pass from Fangling one after another, generally pulling a lot of goods, food and weapons are the majority, and only a few guards accompany them.

Of course, you will also meet ordinary people, their faces do not look panicked, but give people a feeling of confidence.

After Canghai asked, he said: "There are so many big soldiers in Xicheng, what are you afraid of? It's just that the land is barren, and God has not been very competitive in recent years, so the harvest is not very good, but it is much better than when the bandits were rampant. ”

"Master Canghai may not believe it when he says it, many of these troops stationed in Xicheng are from miscellaneous bandits, and there are people who block the road and rob money, kill people and set fires. Li Wuchang said casually.

Master Canghai's face was stunned.

He really didn't know.

"Master, there's nothing strange about that. ”

Li Wuchang shrugged indifferently, "Xu Minglong, the leader of the Xicheng Legion, is still from a bandit...... Besides, with the constraints of military law and the support of military salaries, even if they are just miscellaneous bandits, they can become the most elite and obedient combat force. ”

Cao Hao added: "During the training, the commander said to the east, and the soldiers under his command would never dare to go west, even if a river or a muddy puddle was blocked in front, the commander did not shout to stop, the soldiers would not stop, and they would climb over." ”

Master Canghai said: "It is a soldier's duty to obey orders?"

Looks like you've done your homework.

Li Wuchang smiled: "I didn't expect the master to hear it...... Those who are disobedient will be punished, their promotion will be blocked, and if they are serious, they will even die, there is a saying called execution, and the master should also know. It's all like this, hey!"

As he spoke, a team of more than 200 people came to him.

Led by a sturdy man of twenty-five or sixteen, with a steel knife on his waist, he walked in front of Li Wuchang and Cao Hao, saluted, and said loudly: "Cheng Mu, the first battalion of the fourth division and the third regiment of the Xicheng Army, has seen Master Canghai, and has seen Captain Cao. Because the marshal had sent someone to remind him in advance that he was just taking a casual look, Master Kuang acted in a low-key manner according to the marshal's order, and only ordered his subordinates to come and wait for the dispatch ......"

The others stood respectfully at their sides, bowing their heads slightly.

Cao Hao snorted and said with a smile: "Everyone is hard!"

Then the people straightened up.

"Master!"

Li Wuchang looked at Master Canghai and asked, "Do you think you want to walk around casually, or go to the city first, or go directly to the junction to have a look?"

Master Canghai thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and have a look around." ”

Cao Hao hurriedly instructed Cheng Mu: "Camp Commander Cheng, please lead the way......"

Cheng Mu nodded and waved his hand.

The soldiers were divided into two lines, one leading the way in front and the other retreating to the rear, taking a guard posture and following along.

The action was very neat, there was no superfluous movement, and it was a long distance.

The closer you get to the main city, the stronger the smell of soldiers, and you can see groups of soldiers at any time, mostly for training, and there are more and more civilians, mostly from the western counties. Master Canghai seemed to have made up his mind to see it through, so he walked a lot of places and looked at every place carefully.

Li Wuchang didn't have the slightest impatience, and watched it together, to be honest, although he had been to Xicheng County several times before, he was not very familiar with it. The deployment of troops took a long time for Chu Yuande's arrangement, and the administrative aspect was Zhou Fang's appearance.

After reading it, there is only one feeling, it is very orderly.

It is very reflective of the dominance of the French commander's army.

Getting a little closer, I found a lot of caravans, most of them were very large, there were in and out, the direction of the entrance was from the Fangling, and the direction of the exit was to the west, accompanied by not only a large number of caravan guards, but also groups of soldiers.

It is not difficult to guess that the caravans heading west were all going to Tongchuan or Hanchuan, and the accompanying soldiers would be sent to the junction of Xicheng and Tongchuan.

"Except for the elements, are the current red envelopes big?" Li Wuchang asked casually.

"Hui Fa Shuai, it's big!"

Cheng Mu replied and said with a smile: "Our division has already sent out two benefits this month......

Li Wuchang said lightly: "It seems that you can raise a wave of prices!"

Cheng Mu praised sincerely: "The handsome man is wise, it should be raised, the imperial court has moved the remaining foundation of Yongzhou to the west of Liangzhou, and several big Kou must be anxious in their eyes, if they don't work hard, it will be difficult to recruit soldiers, and Xicheng and Badong have become refuges." ”
