Chapter 528: Leading the Troops to Patrol the Mountains
It is said that Fu Xiaowa at this time is staying in General Yuan's mansion, and now he lives in the military mansion, as far as the four-rank military generals are concerned, this is a great honor. You must know that the military government must at least be qualified to stay in the second-rank general, which is a rare honor for the fourth-rank small military general, and he is the only one who enjoys this service. This is still thanks to Yuan Wenhua's relationship, Yuan Wenhua is so that when he wants to call him, he can find it, and now the relationship between the master and servant is not bad.
Shen Zhengming was wearing his rich hat, holding a brush and account book and lighting Fu Xiaowa's assets. Among them, there are two sets of torn clothes, twenty catties of sugar cakes, two or thirty pounds of silver, a number of pills, Shen Zhengming helped him to grade them, like the first level of Tian Yuan Dan, there are twelve, the superior Tian Yuan Dan is the second level, and there are three, the enhanced pills, five, and a number of warlock crystals. When it came to the barracks, there were 10,000 taels of public funds, which was the food and salary that Fu Xiaowa chased back, but he hadn't found a way to return it to those bandits.
"After so many years, you're still poor like this!" Shen Zhengming said as he registered.
Fu Xiaowa lay lazily on the bed and said, "What I said, I'm here are all trivial things, where to take care of something!"
"This 10,000 taels of military salary, you hold it first, how about I help you go to the imperial city and dump some antiques?" Shen Zhengming put down the brush and said.
"Isn't this embezzlement of military funds?" Fu Xiaowa jumped up and said.
"Just Cuiyuntai is going to do this, go along with it, help you roll, run back and forth a few times, fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver can still be earned, you can ask for weapons or armor, and you are not diverting it for personal use. Where is there any talk of embezzlement of military funds!" Shen Zhengming didn't know that now he was back in the business of these small money millet, and he had to ink with others.
"Oh, that's not bad, then you can help me pour out some five thousand sets of weapons and armor!" Fu Xiaowa thought about it, the equipment of the bandit soldiers he managed was extremely poor.
Shen Zhengming said embarrassedly: "Big brother, five thousand sets of weapons and armor, calculated by one set of one hundred taels, also need five hundred thousand taels, is your arithmetic taught by a martial artist!"
Fu Xiaowa thought about it, he really hadn't formally learned arithmetic from anyone. 500,000 taels. It's an astronomical amount. Qiao Ruyan estimates that there is no money now, and all the money that can be raised now is used to invest in real estate.
"Don't look at me, the money in the nearby money bank has been diverted by Qiaoda's owner, and I can't lend it to you. But I can think of other options. Like what. You sell these pills and the like, and when you make money, you buy them back, and the pills sell for 20,000 or 30,000 taels. With the addition of the original 10,000 taels, there are nearly 40,000 taels in total, so how about rolling 300,000 taels?"
Fu Xiaowa touched his chin and said: "That's it, then I'll leave this matter to you, by the way, make money, use 10,000 taels to get a good bow back!"
"Nacheng, I've gotten up and gone to the Imperial City, I'll contact you if there's any news!"
Shen Zhengming scraped and scraped Fu Xiaowa's belongings together and put them in his pocket, which weighed less than a catty, this poor.
After Shen Zhengming left, Fu Xiaowa felt that it was not bad to have a friend who could do business, thinking back to many years in Qingniu Town, the two of them had fought inseparably. Now Shen Zhengming lives in the Yuan family's military mansion, and he told Yuan Wenhua that Yuan Wenhua still annoys him for this little thing.
The battle began, but there was no shadow of General Yuan Qing on the main tower of Haocheng, and at this time, Yuan Qing was in the hall of the mansion, discussing military affairs with Yuan Wenhua.
"Dad, do you think Xue Yuangang can command the war?" said Yuan Wenhua on the side.
General Yuan Qing sat on the side of the copy, stroked his long beard and said: "When it comes to attacking the city and plundering the land, he has a set, but defending the city, looking at his layout, rough and unbearable, on the main city tower, it should be mainly in the heavy archers, and the guards should be sent to the herdsmen, and the equipment on the city wall is also very brief, and there is no careful calculation of some things to happen during the city defense war, such as the location of the rolling stone and the sassal wood is not very good!"
"Then it's really better to let Dad be in charge!" Yuan Wenhua pouted.
"Actually, it's nothing, now Haocheng has enough strength advantages, these small losses will not affect the overall situation, the important thing is that after the last battle, Batu's army has been injured and not as sharp as before!"
Yuan Wenhua asked, "Then what should we do?"
General Yuan Qing said: "We only brought 200,000 troops, we don't have to send them to Xue Yuangang to fight, good steel is naturally to be used on the blade, we are waiting for the opportunity to move, help fill the gap, with the escalation of the war, Haocheng must be difficult to defend, Batu's army of millions of male soldiers, it is not so simple!"
Yuan Wenhua agreed: "What I said is that the Batu army drove straight down from the north and broke through so many capitals, and its strength is not simple!"
"By the way, didn't I send you a four-rank little military general a while ago, what is it called?" Fu Xiaowa is not heavy in General Yuan Qing, and Yuan Qing is busy with military affairs, so he doesn't have much energy to remember these broken locks.
"It's called Fu Xiaowa, it's okay, it's okay, I'll bring him five thousand elite soldiers, let's see what he's capable of!"
"Oh, with you, if you have a chance to be promoted, you should be able to become a good subordinate!"
Yuan Wenhua suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, Dad, what are you going to do with those bandits, the child is still dismissed!"
General Yuan Qing stroked his long beard and thought for a while: "Actually, I have also thought about the dismissal you mentioned, but the dismissal is afraid of leaving disaster in all directions, this is really a hot potato, so let's send them to patrol the logistics arteries behind Haocheng first, so that they also have something to do!"
Yuan Wenhua nodded and said, "Well, there shouldn't be anything important in the rear of Haocheng, it's not bad to let them have something to do!"
Fu Xiaowa was free that day, and slipped into the barracks again. The camp was still the same, full of the sounds of drinking and gambling.
"Brother, do you have time to go shopping today?" Hou Dafa was happy to see Fu Xiaowa.
As he spoke, Fu Xiaowa had already walked into the military tent, this was Hou Dafa's military tent, Hou Dafa was the little leader of these bandits, and sometimes, this Hou Dafa could count when he spoke.
Fu Xiaowa walked into the tent, it was dirty everywhere, there were a few wine jars poured on the ground, and some soldiers who were so drunk that they didn't know the world were holding the wine jars and muttering on the ground.
"yes. How's it going?"
"It's not like that, but there's an order from above, asking us to patrol the rear of Haocheng!" Hou Dafa said with a smile.
"Patrol in the rear?" Fu Xiaowa said strangely.
"Yes, the order that just came, it may be that we are not used to seeing that we have nothing to do here, so find something to do, anyway, we are bored and panicked, it is good to go out for a walk, otherwise it will be suffocated, and you can find a chance to go to the city to find a few girls to relieve your boredom. Hey, hey!" Hou Dafa said with a wicked smile.
Fu Xiaowa thought about it. I also guessed a rough idea, it seems that the upper authorities are looking for something to send this group of people.
"I'll go with you too, I'm idle anyway, let's go find the together!"
Fu Xiaowa's eyebrows twitched a few times. Looks bad. I'm afraid that this Hou Dafa doesn't know yet. This guy didn't even dare to touch a woman's hand.
"Ahahahaha, with your brother, it's good to talk. Let's go around the mountains!" Hou Dafa Hao smiled and came over to take Fu Xiaowa's shoulder.
The two men talked and laughed, and came to the outside of the tent, and then grabbed a trumpeter who ran by, and blew the assembly horn in the barracks.
Woo woo woo~!
The rallying cry sounded in the scattered barracks, and at this moment, the crooked soldiers swam out like wandering spirits, listless and disorganized.
The sky was still overcast, and the soldiers in the barracks had gone to the front line of the battlefield because of the fighting, and the tents around them were a little empty.
The war still can't affect here, Fu Xiaowa actually knows that the war has started, which is inevitable.
For these bandits who have been waiting for a long time, this is a rare opportunity to let off steam. Armed with rudimentary weapons and equipment, this group of troops drove out of the barracks.
It is said that this Fu Xiaowa and these bandit soldiers came to the rear of Haocheng, the terrain behind Haocheng is dangerous, and there are mountains and mountains all around. When this mighty city was built, it was to look at the terrain here, and if the mighty city was not broken, the Batu army would not be able to take a step forward. This is the reason why Haocheng can leave the rear alone with peace of mind.
And between this Haocheng and the Imperial City, is a traffic artery, this is a four-carriage drive the official road, straight through the Leping River and then through the Longtou Mountain to the Imperial City. Haocheng and the imperial city are separated by 700 miles, if it is fast and non-stop, it can be reached overnight, it can be seen that the importance of Haocheng, Haocheng will be in danger when it breaks the imperial city.
On the official road, the yellow sand is long, as if it is about to cover the sky. The deserted city is bustling with activity. I saw that on this official road, the carriages transporting supplies and the people who had left Haocheng sadly were leading to this main road to Haocheng.
The carriage drove along the bumpy road, babbling and shaking. A crooked cart scattered the luggage all over the ground, and the cart was pushed by a family of four, picking up the luggage back to the car, the family, or wanting to go to the imperial city to join a relative. There are many such refugees.
Fu Xiaowa stared, and everyone had the pain of leaving their hometown on their faces.
Feeling the big hand on Hou Dafa's shoulder, Hou Dafa's voice came from behind him: "Let's go, we still have military affairs!"
Fu Xiaowa turned around and saw a large group of bandit soldiers, all of them looking ruined, with unbuttoned clothes and hats. More than 5,000 people, a whole rectangular team. Before the arrival of the new general, it is now Hou Dafa who leads the team for the time being.
He only silently followed Hou Dafa, seeing that Hou Dafa was still a reliable person, and these bandit soldiers still listened to him, probably a habit left in the cottage. However, Hou Dafa's power is not great, in fact, these bandit soldiers don't listen to him if they want to.
Their task is very simple, that is, to walk back and forth on the official road near Haocheng, a very simple task, to solve some frictions, some fights. And, of course, bandits who rob like them.
At this time, I heard a bandit soldier behind me shouting: "Hou Dafa, when are we going to walk around like this?"
Seeing that Hou Dafa shouted and replied: "Who the knows, just swim when you call it, where do you come from so much nonsense, you want to go into the city to find the girl, and go back at night!"
This team of 5,000 people, lined up in a long snake, slowly and leisurely, moved on the official road behind the city.
Fu Xiaowa also looked around, and saw that these people were listless, as if they hadn't slept enough, and they walked slower and slower. This one, he saw that on the official road in the distance, a cloud of smoke and dust shrouded in dust. When I looked at it, it turned out to be a large army, which numbered tens of thousands of people, and the army was neat and heroic.
It was another patrol team, and when they got close to those teams, Fu Xiaowa realized that it was the team led by his acquaintance Qi Shaojin.
Qi Shaojin was riding on a tall horse, with elite troops, and the troops behind him were neatly pulled out as if they were pulled out with ropes, and the equipment on his body was also excellent. The armor on his body was shining. Look back at these bandits. Scattered, finally like a long snake, the armor on his body is still falling off.
The two armies were connected, and the generals communicated. Hou Dafa saw the opposing general. That's a lot higher than myself. Feeling weak in his heart, he groped, and said with his half-baked military etiquette: "The little Hou Dafa has seen the adult!"
"What are you doing here?" Qi Shaojin looked at these people suspiciously.
"Lord Qiyu. We have been ordered to patrol the main road behind Haocheng!"
Fu Xiaowa dodged Qi Shaojin's gaze and glanced at it, but he didn't see it, Qi Shaojin still found him, who told him to be at the front of the team, so close to Hou Dafa. Qi Shaojin glanced at the appearance of this group of remnants, and thought that he had just retreated from defeat, but after a casual look, he found Fu Xiaowa who was hiding and hiding.
"Fu Xiaowa!"
When Fu Xiaowa heard the call, he knew that he couldn't hide after all, so he squeezed his head out from behind Hou Dafa with a smile.
Seeing Hou Dafa, he turned his head and said strangely: "Do you know this adult?"
Fu Xiaowa whispered: "Fellow townspeople, fellow villagers!"
"Your fellow townsman is a general, you see how depressed you are!" Hou Dafa also whispered.
"Who's to say it isn't!"
Fu Xiaowa snorted and said: "Aha, what a coincidence, Major General Qi, what, lead the team to patrol the rear!"
"Why are you here?" Qi Shaojin said strangely.
"I, like you, patrol the rear!"
"This is the Yuan family's army?" Qi Shaojin couldn't help frowning as he looked at the broken army behind him.
Fu Xiaowa scratched his head and said, "How can I say it, this, in fact, they are not simple!"
"Look at the way you look in the Yuan family, alas, what are you talking about!"
"It's the same everywhere, young general, these are my brothers, they are brothers now, and they will be brothers who will be born and die in the future, if there is me Fu Xiaowa, there will be my brothers!"
