Li Wenhao led his bodyguards and followed the traces on the ground all the way east. They traveled about sixty miles and came to a fork in the road.
"General, the east road leads to Daha City, and the south road leads to Daqingshan Quarry.
The Daqingshan quarry belongs to the Langya royal family and is guarded by two hundred Langya soldiers and more than a thousand mining slaves!" Wei Bao said with a hand, he had been a horse bandit for several years and was very familiar with this area.
"The Daqingshan Quarry is this way, go south!"
Li Wenhao shouted loudly, turned his horse's head and ran towards the south. The information in the system was still being updated. There were Langya soldiers and slaves, which happened to match the information from the Daqingshan quarry.
It was getting dark, and the guards lit torches, like a fire dragon, swimming in the black wilderness.
Half an hour later, a large mountain appeared in front, with thick smoke billowing at the foot of the mountain, and a huge quarry was swallowed up by fire.
"It's true that horse bandits have not changed their habits. After killing people, they set fires!" Li Wenhao snorted with a cold face.
Under the firelight in front, a large number of cavalry could be seen, more than two thousand in number, marching slowly under the black three-legged Golden Crow flag.
Behind the team, there is an invisible ox cart, loaded with goods, and the carts are driven by ragged slaves. Looking at their clothes, they are all Dayou people!
"Who's in front of you?"
"The three-legged golden crow on the flag is golden, and it is the general's flag!"
When Wolf Seventeen saw Li Wenhao's banner, he excitedly ran over with a group of his men.
"General, we won a great victory. Not only did we kill more than two thousand horse bandits, but we also robbed the Langya royal family's quarry!"
"Yes, General, look at the ox cart behind you. It is full of cut bluestones. I guarantee that your general's mansion will be beautifully built!"
"General, there are four to five hundred oxen in these carts, and there are one thousand slaves. General Wolf won't let them be killed, so you have to exchange them for us as rewards!"
A group of people were chattering, and their faces were all red with excitement.
Li Wenhao looked at the faces of these people and swallowed back the words he wanted to scold.
These people are all horse bandits who just joined today, waiting for the reward with joy.
How could he reprimand him at this time?
Even if they were wrong and General Lang Shiqi neglected his duty, they could only talk about it later.
"You are all good officers and men. I am very satisfied with your bravery and loyalty. After returning to the city, we will hold a celebration banquet and all rewards will be doubled!" Li Wenhao announced loudly with a look of admiration.
"Thank you General!"
"Hahaha, our general is quite interesting. After being a horse bandit for several years, he has never felt so comfortable!"
"Who says it's not the case? I stole three heads today, and the reward doubled is three Qi and Blood Pills!"
The soldiers were extremely satisfied with Li Wenhao's generosity and walked back happily, their loyalty even increased a lot.
Originally, there were more than 900 people in the Gale Army. After a while, the number increased by 300, making it more than 1,200 people!
Li Wenhao looked at the heads of nearly one-third of the horse bandits, and there was a cyan whirlwind symbol, the wind army, depression and happiness coexisted, toothache!
Today's situation will definitely not be allowed to happen again in the future. The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders, not to act recklessly and rob everywhere like horse bandits!
Another point is that although Wolf Seventeen has a high prestige among the wolf cavalry and is very talented in commanding cavalry in combat, after all, he has only been in the army for a short time and does not know much about military regulations and laws.
If Ehu had led the team today, there would never have been a situation where Qing was blocked and beaten to the city gate!
This is what happened to him. If other armies had performed like this, Wolf Seventeen would have been doomed today!
"General, I know you love your people like your own children, but they wanted to kill the mining slaves, but I stopped them!" Lang Shiqi ran forward happily, with an expression as if you were going to praise me.
Li Wenhao rolled his eyes helplessly and said in a low voice with seriousness: "Seventeen, when you go back, learn more about the rules of the army from Zhang Wenhe, Ehu and the others.
Remember next time and strictly follow military orders!"
"General!" Lang Shiqi's face turned red and he said: "I also felt something was wrong at the time, but they chased them out in a swarm. I was worried about an accident, so I left some people to continue patrolling, and I also chased after them.
Already…”
"I know, today is an exception. In addition to more than thirty black wolf cavalry, the other two thousand or so people under your command are all horse bandit recruits.
If you forcibly restrain him, it might lead to a mutiny, so I don't blame you.
But if you encounter this kind of situation in the future, remember to send someone to report it to me first!"
Li Wenhao felt much relieved after hearing Lang Shiqi's explanation. At least Lang Shiqi did not actively violate military orders, but his subordinates were difficult to control and passively disobeyed orders.
Although I lacked experience and did not send anyone to report in time, there was no problem with the general direction!
Otherwise, he planned to replace Wolf Seventeen once he had a suitable cavalry general.
"You guys go back first and I'll go take a look at the quarry!"
Li Wenhao ordered the army to return, and turned around to return to the quarry. The words of everyone just reminded him that repairing the city would require a large amount of stone, and the ruins of the city alone would definitely not be enough.
This is the famous Daqingshan quarry, where we can collect more large bluestones. Anyway, the system warehouse is large enough.
The quarry covers a large area. Except for the accommodation area that was set on fire, the open-air quarry area was not affected by the fire. Large uncut bluestones of different sizes can be seen everywhere.
Li Wenhao rode a war horse in circles, loading all the large bluestones that could be loaded into the system warehouse, as well as many iron mining tools.
Finally, on a mountainside, there was a large piece of bluestone more than 100 meters high, which he also put into the warehouse.
"Put it back in the back garden of the General's Mansion and build a pavilion on it. It will definitely be the best rockery in the world. If you have nothing to do, you can sit on it with your girls and enjoy the scenery. Don't be too comfortable!" Li Wenhao felt very proud.
Because of the ox cart, the return to Tuke City was very slow, and the team had to camp in the wild.
Li Wenhao was worried about what would happen if he was not in the city, so he returned overnight with a hundred personal guards. By the time he returned to Tuke City, it was already late at night.
Taking advantage of the silence of the night, he threw the messy large bluestones outside the city and piled them into a hill. Then he went to the General's Mansion under construction alone and erected the large bluestones in a pond in the backyard.
There is no way around this. If you want the big bluestone to stand firmly, there must be a big pit underneath. This pond is just the right size!
"Wow!" Water surged out and flooded half of the street.
"Oh no, it's flooding!"
"It's not raining. Where did the flood come from?"
"Look what that is. Why is there an extra mountain in the General's Mansion!"
