As night falls, lanterns are hung at the door of the roadside shops, and white or warm yellow lights illuminate the roads on both sides of the street.
At the stall next to Zuihonglou, Zhao San took out a lantern, lit the candle, and hung it on the wall next to the stall. The warm yellow light dispersed the darkness, and Zhao San sat down with a normal expression.
"Staff, I want a bowl of wontons, but no coriander."
A drunkard who came out of Zuihonglou, smelling of alcohol, sat down at the stall with a heavy heart.
Zhao San hurriedly ran to save a bowl of wontons, took the money after delivering them, and then came back with a smile on his face.
"Thank you very much this time, second brother. If you have a position here at Zuihong Mansion, you can at least support our family."
"About Jiang Changfu, when we moved the stall today, my wife told me that it was indeed Jiang Changfu. She has had fewer nightmares recently. She used to wake up from nightmares calling her name and saying, "Don't kill me."
Zhao San's wife served wontons to Su Yun Erniu and the others, and after taking care of them, she turned around, brought two large black porcelain bowls filled with wontons, and whispered softly:
"Second brother, I will not admit my mistake, it is that Jiang Changfu."
"He is wearing a crimson robe, with a silver belt around his waist. I saw him when I was at my parents' house, and there is no mistaking him."
Su Lu nodded. He was wearing a scarlet robe and a silver belt. He was at least a general. There was no one with the same name in the Xuanfu army. He should be Jiang Changfu without a doubt.
From this point of view, there must be a higher relationship between Dongtang Camp and Xuanfu Jiedufu to protect Jiang Changfu and prevent him from being exposed.
Dongtang Camp and even Xuanfu are definitely still in danger now.
Fatty Zhao carried two oil paper bags in his left hand and a black jar in his right hand. He walked in quickly from the alley and said with a smile: "Second brother, third brother, let's drink some today."
"Xiaoyun, sister-in-law, this is a pack of soy sauce beef. Go and share it yourself."
The oil paper package was opened and placed on the table. Inside were slices of finely chopped beef with soy sauce, which looked as thin as cicada wings and made your throat tremble.
Zhao San's expression was tense and unnatural: "You come to help me, but you still have to spend money, I..."
Su Lu waved his hand: "The fat man has at least one thousand taels of silver saved in his body now, and his money is millions. He can even buy a house full of soy sauce beef. Don't be embarrassed, San'er."
Fatty Zhao also said: "We make money with our heads hanging on our belts. It's easy to make money. We can't compare with you, San'er. With a stable small business, we will definitely be rich in the future."
Zhao San ate beef sullenly and didn't answer.
After eating, he helped Zhao and his wife pack their things and sent them home. Only then did Su Lu embark on the road back to the military camp.
When they were about to leave, Fatty Zhao suddenly stopped Zhao San: "San'er, why don't you come and join the army? If you follow the second brother, your life will definitely not be bad."
Zhao San looked at the yard where he rented, looked down at his toes, and said in a dull voice: "I, let me think about it again, fat man."
Back at the door of the barracks, Fatty Zhao stopped Su Lu and asked with a face full of reluctance:
"Second brother, why don't you persuade San'er to join the army? Then his life will definitely be better. If he is afraid of death, he can be a gang leader and look after the barracks. All of these are fine."
Seeing how difficult Zhao San's life was, Fatty Zhao felt uncomfortable and wanted to take care of his brother.
Su Lu walked into the barracks, looked at Li Lin sitting at the door of the barracks, and smiled bitterly:
"As a soldier, people will die. Even if it is a bandit army, it is not safe. San'er is different from us. He still has his wife and son to worry about. If he dies in battle, who will take care of his wife? Will he be able to do it at that time?
regret."
"You choose your own path. If one day you die in battle, don't blame your second brother."
Fatty Zhao paused when he heard the words and stood blankly at the door of the barracks. He looked at Li Lin who was facing Su Lu, with a puzzled face as to why the second brother said such a thing.
Li Lin came over and held the military affairs booklet in his hand:
"Su Duwei, Xuanfu's military order, promoted the patrol camp to the guard camp, with six battalions under its jurisdiction."
"Promote Su Lu to be the transshipment envoy of Beizheng Daying, supervising the transportation of grain and grass along the line from Beiyang to Beizheng Daying. The order will take effect from now on."
After Li Lin announced the military order, he handed over the military affairs booklet in his hand and said in a hoarse voice:
"Su Duwei, the grain and grass from Xuanfu will be transported to Beiyang soon, and the Nanguan Camp in the south of the county will be opened immediately. This matter of transporting grain and grass will trouble Su Duwei."
Su Lu took the military affairs booklet and looked at Li Lin:
"Okay, but you have to give me time to organize the army. The newly recruited Xiangyong will not be available immediately."
Li Lin nodded: "Jiedu Mansion has already considered this situation. If you want to form four battalions on the spot, you can also wait for the Dongtang Camp to demobilize troops and requisition them on the spot to form your guard camp."
"I will set up a new health camp. Jiedu Mansion only needs to provide armor and equipment."
Su Lu rejected Li Lin's suggestion. If he wanted a formation card, he had to be a team that he had complete control over and recognized. Not everyone could command the proud soldiers of the Dongtang Camp.
Back in the barracks, as soon as Su Lu lay down, a new card appeared in front of him.
Level 1 scout card, +10
Level 1 sword and shield card, +30
Level 1 short sword card, +20,
Level 1 Lancer card, +40
Level 2 Lancer card, +1
Level 2 short sword card, +1
Level 2 scout card, +1
Level 1 turtle shell array card, +1
Su Lu's face was filled with joy, it was great, new formation cards and soldier cards were finally released.
It seems that this is indeed the case. The newly formed team must be fully controlled by itself and approved by the Xuanfu before new weapon cards and formation cards will appear.
But the biggest surprise this time is the array card. There is an additional array card for the turtle shell array. With this array card, the spear array can be combined with the turtle array to form a spear array and turtle array, which is both offensive and defensive.
When facing cavalry in the future, you no longer need to let the lives of the spearmen in the front row slow down the speed of the cavalry, making your military formation more flexible when facing cavalry.
At dawn the next day, Su Lu had just gotten up, and the morning training on the school field had not yet started. He Wu hurried into the barracks and urged Su Lu.
"Master is here, Su Lu, please get up quickly."
Li Qing's voice sounded outside, full of anxiety: "Su Lu, please get up quickly. How is the formation of the new team? When can we set off?"
Su Lu got dressed and left the barracks. When he saw Li Qing wearing a purple robe, a jade belt around his waist, and delicate cheeks, as if he had put on makeup, he couldn't help but take a curious look.
Li Qing's cheeks were slightly red, and he lowered his eyebrows and said:
"The troops from Dongtang Camp have arrived. This time they have brought three thousand stones of food and grass. Beizheng Camp and Jiedu Mansion have all come over and asked me to urge you to get on the road as soon as possible. Beizheng Camp's food and grass are almost running out."
Before coming this morning, Li Qing specially put powder on his cheeks to make his cheeks look less dark. When he saw Su Lu's eyes just now, Li Qing couldn't help feeling a little proud, but he thought that Su Lu was about to transfer food to the road.
When we arrived at the front line of Beizheng Daying, I felt uneasy again.
Su Lu shook his head helplessly: "I just received the news last night. How could it be so fast? Even if we gather the people today, it will take several days of training before we can hit the road. There are wars in Beizheng and bandits are everywhere. I don't dare to train with the company."
Soldiers who have never experienced it go to the battlefield."
Li Qingxiu frowned slightly, and there was a lot of hesitation in his voice: "But if Beizheng Camp fails because of food and grass, our relationship will be serious."
Su Lu waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's just a few days of delay, but it won't cause the Beizheng Camp to be defeated. If this is the case, his old Luo Du is too bad."
In the next few days, Su Lu hurriedly organized his army.
The local warriors who had been training for some days were all promoted and sent to Camp C and Camp D.
Han Shang and Fatty Zhao became the new camp captains. Su Lu continued to serve as the camp captain of Camp A.
During the few days of training in the patrol camp, Magistrate Tang cooperated with Su Lu to recruit packhorses and carts from all over the country. Almost all the packhorses from all over the country were requisitioned, and countless civilians who were willing to participate in transporting grain and grass were also recruited.
The food reminder documents from Beizheng Camp came from the north like snowflakes, and Li Lin was sent to Beiyang by the Xuanfu. Every day, he urged Su Lu to recruit civilians and train the army.
