Lu Linshan stayed in the temporary headquarters very nervously. He had been twirling the pencil in his hand for half an hour. According to the order he had just given, the scouts outside had to report once every half an hour. At present,
Most of the scouts have finished reporting, and only the scouts from two directions have not yet reported.
"Report No. 19, everything is normal."
"Report on the 20th that everything is normal."
After the two scouts finished their report, Lu Linshan breathed a sigh of relief. Now it is estimated that the news has spread almost. These chieftains should not be able to sit still. Their army may be coming soon. Look.
What I have to worry about is that in the next hour and a half, my troops have already entered the second level of combat readiness, and everyone is on the verge of breaking out.
Under this situation, everyone's nerves are tense. According to Lu Linshan's idea, it is better for the other party to seize the time and kill them. Then we don't have to worry so much all the time. We have nearly 4,000 troops in our hands. Although
There are not many people, but the area we need to defend is not very large. It is just the official stronghold of Chief Mengyun.
Yesterday, most of the people were sent down. Firstly, they did not want them to suffer any casualties and they would be properly arranged after they came down the mountain. Secondly, they were afraid that there were enemy spies among these people. Eighteen chieftains were on the mountain.
After so many years, the infiltration between each other has become quite strong. Although we have conducted two waves of screening, we may not have screened out all the spies. If we let them continue to stay on the mountain, the possibility of leaking the secrets is relatively high.
Of course, we can't let everyone go down the mountain. We have to leave some people to help. The troops and horses are not moved, and the food and grass go first. More than 3,000 people eat, drink, and defecate every day, all relying on mules and war horses, so the people in Guanzhai
More than two thousand people stayed, and they were responsible for maintaining the security of the entire logistics line. On the road leading to the rear, war horses and mules formed two lines.
One line is a heavy-duty line, with various supplies carried on horseback. They transport things up from the mountains.
The other route is down the mountain. After unloading the things, you can only allow a short rest and then go down the mountain immediately. The main reason is that you don’t know when the fighting will start on the mountain. If these people stay on the mountain, their life safety will not be guaranteed.
The second is that there are not enough supplies stored on the mountain. A round trip would take a day and a night, and more than two thousand people would have to keep running.
Of course, we can't let these people work in vain. In addition to sending troops along the way to take care of their safety, each person can get ten kilograms of white flour for each trip.
In economically developed coastal areas, such remuneration is nothing. No one may be willing to do it. After all, it is risking life. There are also various poisonous snakes and beasts along the way. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
.
But it's different in the three southwestern provinces, especially the people in the mountains. They usually live a hard life. Ten pounds of white flour is enough for their family for half a month. Of course, they don't dare to eat white flour directly.
Exchange these for some multigrain noodles, as long as the family can eat enough food every day, they will not starve to death.
Now these people hope that this kind of thing will never end, so that they can get back ten pounds of white flour every day, and their families can live a better life after going down the mountain. Although the court has allocated some housing, who doesn't think about the conditions at home?
What could be better is that you can get ten kilograms of white flour just by walking on the mountain road for a day and a night. This opportunity is so cool.
As for what was being transported on horseback, they didn't care about it. The officers of the Suppression Army had already said that no one could open these boxes and bags. If someone did, they would not be given money after they arrived on the mountain.
, and may even arrest you.
There are two checkpoints along the way. When passing the checkpoints, the soldiers will carefully check the goods on the horse. Once they find something wrong, it will not only cause trouble for you, but also for your home.
After everyone including you must be registered, don't even think about finding a stable job. You may even be imprisoned. This is what the Suppression Army has said in advance, so no one will care about the horses along the way.
With the goods on their backs, they just want to go faster so that they can make more money and make their families live a better life.
Chief Mengyun also came to the foot of the mountain. He is mainly responsible for managing these people. These people may not listen to what the Han officers say, but they will listen to what Chief Meng Yun says. This is mainly because Chief Meng Yun has ruled their ancestors for generations.
In their hearts, Chief Mengyun is the emperor. If they don't listen to the emperor, they may be killed at any time.
Investigation Point No. 19.
Just after the news was reported to the headquarters, the five investigators here began to change shifts. Because they have to pay attention to the surrounding situation 24 hours a day, three investigators were on duty at the same time, and the other two investigators were on rest. Each one took turns.
, so these people’s energy is still okay.
"Go and spread this medicine around again. This is no joke. If a poisonous snake comes in, the five of us will have to report here today. The weather is really too humid. I feel all over my body.
They all feel terribly uncomfortable.”
The team leader Tang Guang is a northerner and really hates the weather in the south. However, military orders cannot be violated. He can only overcome them by himself. The only thing he can't overcome is the poisonous snakes in the mountains and forests. Fortunately, the superiors have equipped them with them.
If you don't have these things, you may have been bitten by a poisonous snake long ago.
Another soldier honestly took out the snake repellent, and then lit a little more around their circle. According to the old mountain people, there is no need to put too much, just take out a little, and the surrounding
Poisonous snakes will run away when they smell it.
Of course, this thing is not omnipotent. If you suddenly break into the territory of a poisonous snake, even if you are carrying these things, you will probably be attacked. Who made you run into someone else's den?
"Don't say anything, gather right away."
A soldier on duty said in a low voice that he saw that the woods in the distance seemed to flicker and sway very regularly. This illustrates a problem. There is a possibility that someone is passing under the woods, and
There are quite a few people, could they be the enemies we are waiting for?
