Chapter 49 Who asked the Beiyang soldiers to transport food
On Beizhengguan Road, the north wind blows and yellow sand fills the sky.
The grain transport team came from the north. The soldiers sitting on the horses covered their mouths, closed their eyes and mouths and lay on the horses. The civilians and the pack horses also pretended to avoid the wind and sand.
For a time, the grain transport team in the north wind was in chaos.
This was the second day after Su Lu led the grain transport team to leave. He returned to Beiyang early, hoping to make up for the money lost on the way.
The yellow sand dispersed, and the team was filled with the sound of spitting sand. Su Ping rode his horse to the cart where Su Lu was sitting, grabbed the horse's head, and leaned forward to pull open the oil paper cloth on the cart.
"Second brother, in front of us is... bah bah... Sanniangzi Mountain. Should we go directly there, bah, or should we make some moves to lure the enemy?"
Every time he opened his mouth, he ate a mouthful of sand. After Su Ping finished asking, he lay on the horse and babbled non-stop.
The oil paper cloth was lifted open, revealing Su Lu who was rubbing his eyes inside. He looked at Su Ping next to him who was vomiting non-stop, and stretched out. He didn't sleep well this time. Beizheng's
The official road is full of potholes, and the cart rides like a roller coaster.
"Is it useful to lure the enemy?"
Su Ping stopped spitting out the sand. After thinking about it, he patted his horse's mane and stirred up a burst of sand. His tone was full of sudden realization: "It's useless. We beat them up last time. If they dare to rob us again, they won't remember it."
I can’t remember the fight after I eat it.”
"Go up the mountain and steal the money."
When Su Ping heard this, he whistled and called for the soldiers of Camp B to roar away.
The bandits in Sanniangzi Village were very incompetent. Su Ping had the confidence to deal with them on his own without the need for his second brother to take action.
Su Lu looked at Su Ping's back and threw out a level 2 weapon card and a crab array card. This was the first array card he owned. Su Ping, Li Kun and the others had studied the most thorough tactics.
Formation, even if it loses the blessing of the Formation Card, the Crab Formation still works well. Now that it has the blessing of the Formation Card, it should not be a big problem to win Sanniangzi Mountain.
"The team stopped to rest, the packhorses drank water, and the peasants rested."
Su Lu gave instructions to the little Niba next to him, then lifted up the oil paper cloth and squinted at the sky.
The wind and sand in the north are too strong, especially on the official road. When the hooves of carts and horses pass by, they will bring up dust. If the wind is strong, it will be a large amount of smoke and dust. If you can't go far on this official road, the team will be enveloped by the sandstorm.
.
Li Kun walked over on the sand and asked Su Lu: "Second brother, do you want me to go support Su Ping? After all, there are hundreds of bandits in Sanniangzi Village, not Yi Yu."
Han Shang came over on a sandy yellow dragon and asked Su Lu: "Captain, what is our strategy for the next bandit camp? Are we going to fight through it like this?"
Fatty Zhao spat out sand and foam and said, "Bah, hit him. If you don't hit him, how can you afford the sand we eat this time?"
Su Lu asked Li Kun to support Su Ping, and said casually: "Fight those who have money, and forget about those who have no money. Fighting is a waste of energy. We won't do anything without profit."
In about two sticks of incense, Su Ping and Li Kun came back with their troops, dragging several large carts with a few old horses hanging behind them. Su Ping looked proud.
"Second brother, these guys are really cowards. My armored brigade charged once and these grandsons were scared to death."
"It's not much silver, but it's quite a lot of copper. I have a few million, which is enough to support several brothers."
Li Kun pointed at the bandits pulling the cart and said: "I have already asked these bandits, and they told me that the bandits in Tieling, Camellia Mountain, Laohupo, and Erlong Mountain were rich and they robbed the guards.
They are the ones with the most troops, and everywhere else is poor and miserable, haha.”
Su Lu looked at the carts they had plundered. The copper coins and silver were all in the first cart, and the following carts were full of piles of grain and grass.
"Did you two confiscate all the food from the bandits' den?"
Su Ping's old face turned red: "These Sun Tzu gang shouted loudly when they robbed us. They wouldn't let anything go without a thousand taels of silver. The guards in front of us all lived like this. I thought those guards bribed them."
It was tens of thousands of taels, but I didn’t expect that there was no hair. In a fit of anger, I pulled off all their food.”
"Just pull it and let those bandits take care of it."
"Hit the Road"
Su Lu gave instructions and moved to a cart with provisions and grass. With the provisions and grass as a cushion, his sleep would at least be a little softer.
In this way, Su Lu slept all the way, passed Sanniangzi Village, and arrived at Camellia Tree Mountain. He saw a group of bandits climbing up the hillside. Looking at them, they looked like the guards were tigers. They must have received the message.
, the guards are going to rob them.
This time, Fatty Zhao and Su Ping joined forces. They hung military cards and military array cards on their bodies and went up the mountain. The battle ended quickly. They broke open the village gate and ended the battle. All the bandits ran away.
Su Ping still didn't find any money, but only found hundreds of thousands of dollars and a large warehouse of grain and grass.
Fatty Zhao sent people to get the peasants up, load the grain and grass into the carts, and got them all down. After a while, they emptied the carts. After delivering the grain, less than half of the carts that had been empty were loaded with grain and grass.
Su Lu suddenly had a bad feeling. Before returning to Beiyang, his grain transport team might be full of grain again.
On the Camellia Tree Mountain, the bandit boss Chuang Potian looked at the empty warehouse and cried without tears: "These guards are not guards. They are bandits. They even want food and grass."
"It didn't count that they beat the shit out of us last time, but this time they directly robbed our cottage of all the food for the winter. How will we survive the winter?"
"By the way, who said you wanted to rob this grain transport team last time?"
Chuang Potian looked at his bandit brothers angrily, and a group of them all pointed at their own military advisor, Goatee.
Goatee was panicked: "Brother, you can't rely on me. This is what you said. Our village has to pluck its hair. Even if the emperor comes, he will still rob his mother."
"puff"
Chuang Potian slapped his goatee off with a slap, "I'm just bragging. Do you understand bragging? Grandson Gui, I wonder if you are colluding with someone and want to kill our copycat."
"
A trace of panic flashed in Goatee's eyes, and he argued forcefully and said: "I don't, I am loyal to my eldest brother and I will never have second thoughts."
"kindness?"
Chuang Potian looked at his military advisor and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong, so he had to follow the old method: "Come on, fight him and see who he is colluding with."
The young man plucked up the courage and asked, "What if the military advisor didn't collude with anyone?"
Chuang Potian looked fierce: "Then we'll give in and beat him. We're not a government official, so we're not afraid of beating people to death."
…
Beizheng Camp, outside the camp gate, Thule soldiers were showing off their power again.
After asking all the governors under him to no avail, Old Luodu yelled angrily: "They are a bunch of trash, not even one of them can fight."
Deputy Marshal Xiao chuckled: "Why don't we let Su Lu's Beiyang Battalion dispatch? Although this guy has a bad temper and bad words, he is a good fighter."
Old Luo Du glared at the generals and lieutenants in the big tent with hatred, picked up the chess card arrows next to him and threw them out: "Send me the command to order the patrol battalion of Su Lu to dispatch and clear the door of the city."
The Thule dog was defeated by me, and I don’t care whether he lives or dies.”
The Chinese Army Staff General who went out to deliver the order took a long time to come back, with a pale face: "Back to Marshal, Su Lu has received the receipt document for delivering the food. He returned to Beiyang five days ago."
"Returned to Beiyang?"
Luo Du was furious: "Who told him to leave? That bastard gave him the approval document? He dared to leave without my approval. He is disobeying military orders and doesn't want to live anymore."
"Who is going to bring him back to me and engage in military law?"
A group of governors immediately became interested, and they were all gearing up, eager to hunt down Su Lu right away.
Deputy Marshal Xiao was rummaging through documents beside him. After searching for a long time, he handed a military affairs receipt to Luo Du.
Luo Du looked impatient: "What's the matter?"
Deputy Marshal Xiao's beard curled up, and he sent the document in his hand forward: "With your approval, I agree to the return trip of the Beiyang City Patrol Camp."
