This time they brought over a thousand sets of heavy armor and five thousand pieces of weapons, and the generals of the battalions couldn't even close their mouths with joy.
Yang Zhao looked at the armor and remembered the heavy cavalry that Ling Qingyu had talked about with them before, and met He Li's eyes, both of them understood that Ling Qingyu was helping them build an invincible cavalry.
Du Ming had already taken the ten bandits who were willing to join the army to go through the formalities. Before leaving, the three tigers wanted to come to thank the head of the family, but were told that they were not free. Seeing Du Ming smiling and talking, they unconsciously asked: "What about the head of the Ling family? What's the relationship with General Yang?"
Du Ming thought for a long time and said, "This question is too difficult to answer. I advise you to get this question out of your head, so that you may survive the war after the spring."
Handing over the goods, collecting the grain and putting it into the warehouse, after a busy meal, Ling Qingyu insisted on going to see it together, thinking about what was missing in the barracks, and after that, it was evening.
Yang Zhao asked someone to clean up his big tent, and put the dinner in the big tent. This is his big tent, but it is not the main tent for handling affairs. It turned out that when everyone heard that Ling Qingyu was coming, they put down what they were doing and rushed over to eat and drink together.
With the new member of chili pepper, the taste of hot pot is even more refreshing. It is cold and windy outside, but it is warm as spring inside the big tent.
Hearing Yan Qi talk about what happened in Qibucha, these people stomped their feet. If there were ten of them, there would be no need to return them and rob them of their warehouse!
Everyone was talking happily, but Yang Zhao's thoughts were only on Ling Qingyu, picking up vegetables and handkerchiefs, taking care of everything.
However, Ling Qingyu subconsciously glanced at Yan San. Yan San did not squeeze beside the hot pot, but leaned against the pillar beside the big tent, and when she saw her looking over, she showed a smile that you can rest assured.
Ling Qingyu felt a little sour in her heart, no one can be responsible, everyone must be responsible, she has never encountered this kind of situation, she has always ended one relationship before starting another, but in this situation, if she lives After so many years, I haven't encountered it, and I have lost my heart.
"If you want to reclaim wasteland, I can send my men to do it when there is no war." He Li said after hearing Han Bian's words.
Can the military do this? Ling Qingyu's thoughts turned away immediately, and he leaned in front of Han Bian and his group, and asked, "Will this be held accountable?"
"We can go in the form of training, but the place can't be too far away." He Li said with a smile. Yang Zhao was now promoted to General Xuanwei from the fourth rank, leading the Jiedu envoy of Xinzhou, commanding the Liefeng Camp, the Liehuo Camp, the Liejian Battalion and the Chasing Wind and Lightning Strike Second Cavalry Battalion, a total of 50,000 people. Recently, the imperial court transferred another 50,000 infantry battalions Under his command, there are now a total of 100,000 troops, and as the deputy general of Yang Zhao, he is now the fifth-rank general of Ningyuan, the master of the Zhuifeng camp and responsible for managing the scattered infantry camps, and everyone else has also been promoted. He is now the leader of the Fifth Battalion. It is still possible to mobilize these soldiers to do some private work.
"Well, this is the best way. Originally, the harvest I wanted to open up in the nearby mountain was for your use." Ling Qingyu nodded unconsciously. There are such things as doing private work in any dynasty. When it comes to business, Ling Qingyu's head turned quickly, and he asked after a while: "Is there a market here? It is a market dedicated to trading with the Daliao Party. We want their horses and resources and give them silk. Spice treasures?"
She was so serious, completely different from the shy and awkward look just now, everyone laughed out unconsciously, but He Li still replied seriously: "So there are, but in the past few years, they have been locked up because of the wars every year." .”
"Closed? What a pity!" Ling Qingyu sighed. She can sell spices and treasures through Korea, but horses and mines can only be imported from Daliao.
"Where do the best horses come from? Why don't they just ship them from Arabia? After five months at sea, the horse won't die, right? This won't work." Ling Qingyu said to himself.
"The head of the family, I remember that there are also better War Horse Party members." Han Bian laughed.
"The Hetao Plain? You said how many horses can we get back if we take a convoy of spices and gems?" Ling Qingyu asked with his eyes brightened.
"Don't go!" Yang Zhao held her hand, with cold sweat on his palm, and said, "The people from Dazhou are killing each one they see."
Ling Qingyu looked at it, all right, everyone's complexion was very bad, and he hurriedly said: "I'll just say, just provide a plan for consideration, I won't be so stupid, don't worry, don't worry."
If you can rest assured, there will be ghosts! Yang Zhao turned around and called out, "Yan San!"
"I know." Yan San replied with a smile, to show that he wouldn't let her take the risk of knocking her out.
Ling Qingyu, who was boycotted, expressed his dissatisfaction. There must be a shortage of luxury goods on the party item now, and it can definitely be sold at a good price, which is a pity.
Ling Qingyu never entangled with things that he could not do. After a while, the topic turned to the production of defensive weapons and offensive weapons. This time, in addition to the thousand armors and five thousand weapons, he also brought ten sets The strike crossbow was only brought in as parts and has not been assembled yet.
Ling Qingyu talked about the combo crossbow, and then found that everyone looked at him with that expression again, and wondered: "What's the matter? This is not dangerous, right? It is no different from a farm tool if it is not installed."
"Master, you didn't tell me about this!" Han Bian sighed, and immediately went out to ask someone to bring back the cart containing the farm tools.
"I didn't say it? How could I not say it? I really didn't say it?" Ling Qingyu said to Han Bian, "No, shouldn't Ding Dong tell you this? Oh, I remembered, Zhou Tan didn't tell Ding Dong either."
She has always been meticulous in her work. If she is unclear, she will definitely confirm it clearly with others. It is rare for such a thing to happen. Saying it like this, everyone will look at her unconsciously.
Ling Qingyu did forget about this matter. Originally, this was newly researched by Huang Jing. When loading farm tools, Ling Qingyu saw it and loaded it together. There were so many things at that time, but it was just ten combo crossbows. I didn't take it to heart, not to mention that I received the letter at that time, and it was even more chaotic when I arrived in Hangzhou, so I completely forgot about it.
Seeing everyone's eyes and the meaning revealed in it, Ling Qingyu said: "Everyone, people always make mistakes, so if you don't do this, you won't give people a chance."
Everyone smiled knowingly, and seeing Ling Qingyu was even more annoyed, lamenting that his prestige was damaged. After such a commotion, the night was dark, and everyone dispersed to go back to their tents to rest.
Ling Qingyu was still thinking about going to the tent arranged for her, but Yan San brought in a lot of blankets and quilts from the carriage, and went to find a few braziers.
"Uh, this isn't too bad, is it?" Ling Qingyu hesitated. After all, this is a military camp, and she is a woman after all. The big tent was originally a place to command operations. It would be too noisy to eat hot pot here. If she also lived here.
"I'll send you to Daizhou County tomorrow. Let's get together temporarily tonight." Yang Zhao took the brazier from Yan San and put it into the inner tent together. The layout is comfortable and warm inside the inner tent.
"Zhudai County..." Ling Qingyu sighed, there is also some distance from here, but if you think about it, you can't stay for a few days and you have to go to see the place. It's the same wherever you live, so don't make any noise.
"I bought a yard there, and it will be more comfortable over there." Yang Zhao's instinct was to tie this man to his belt, but it's not convenient to be in the barracks, and the conditions here are not good enough. It's too difficult. Although this person is not the kind of person who likes extravagance, he likes to go there comfortably.
Because the grain team was on their way, and there were few post stations on the road, Ling Qingyu basically slept in the carriage these days. Now that he had a warm bed, he couldn't bear it any longer. Zhou Gong went.
"Just for one night?" After everything was packed, Yan San looked at Yang Zhao and asked.
"I am injured and need to recuperate. I will go to Dai County with you tomorrow." Yang Zhao smiled.
Yan San nodded, and exited the big tent door, Yan Qi stood outside, saw him come out, and said: "I will let Ying and the others go to their tent together, I will guard tonight, you go to rest."
"Yeah." Yan San responded, but didn't leave, walked to the shadow outside the big tent and sat down.
"Yan San?" Yan Qi followed, looking at him puzzled.
"It will be dawn soon, and we will leave for Dai County after dawn." Yan San stretched his legs, resting his arms on them, looked up at the sky, and said.
Yan Qi also sat down beside him, and after a long time suddenly burst into a chuckle, he said, "Are we two brothers or sisters?"
***********
Old man Zhang yawned, pushed the wooden door open, put out the tables and chairs, opened the stove and set up the steamer.
Old man Zhang clapped his hands, and as soon as he took down the first basket of buns, he heard the sound of horseshoes from the other side of the cold street, and old man Zhang stretched his neck to look.
Although it is already February, there is still frost in the mist in the morning, covering Dai County in a white mist, and the sound of horseshoes is getting clearer and clearer from the mist, slowly and slowly.
As the sky gradually brightened, the fog cleared away, and the sound of horseshoes came from the corner of the street. First, a horse's head, then a knight in full armor, and then a pair of knights escorting two carriages, just appeared in front of old man Zhang. .
Although the cavalry was moving very slowly, old man Zhang felt that there was an air of iron and blood rushing towards his face. He recognized this cavalry team, they were General Yang's personal guards, and the majestic warrior walking on the tall horse beside the carriage was about to It was the famous General Yang.
Old man Zhang put the steamed stuffed bun on the table, put his hands on the ground quickly, and knelt down on the ground. His kneeling was not because of Yang Zhao's official position, but because Yang Zhao had been stationed at Heishuiguan for many years and prevented Dangxiang and Daliao from attacking many times. The people in Daizhou were very grateful and respected him, not to mention that he is now a high-ranking official. up.
"Sweet steamed stuffed buns, boss, here's a cage." The door of the carriage was opened, and a woman said to old man Zhang with a sweet smile.
Old man Zhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and wrapped the steamed buns on the table, and handed them over.
The man in the driver's seat of the carriage took the steamed stuffed bun from his hand, and then gave him a handful of copper coins, but the old man Zhang shook his hand and said, "No money, no money, General Yang is willing to eat the old man's buns, and the old man is too late to be grateful." .”
"Boss, the one who needs to collect this money is not General Yang, but me." The woman laughed again, took the buns and shrank them back into the carriage. The man put the copper coin in the old man's hand, raised the reins, and the horse team continued to move forward.
But those buns don't cost so much money. Old man Zhang just wanted to say, but the horse team had already gone away.
