285 Cleaning 2
One of them was Lin Chengwu. He was the defender of Tingzhou. Since he injured one eye during a battle with Tuqishi, he retired from the army because of his disability. Since he had no family members, he simply stayed. In Beiting, because there is no other craftsmanship, he joined the horse bandits through others' introduction.
After he finished talking about his experience, Heizi smiled and said to him: "You only have to obey your orders in the future. This money is definitely a lot. After a while, we will go and remove the Shatuo tribe that is not far away. There are definitely a lot of goods. Also, we want a lot of people. If you can find more people, things will be easier in the future."
Lin Chengwu clasped his fist and said, "The big boss, the young one has a question, the deputy guard asked you to come from the Central Plains, not just for money?"
Heizi smiled and said, "Of course it's not just for money, but this is not what I waited for. I waited here to make money, what do you think?"
"The big boss is very right."
"Okay, there is nothing wrong with you here. Go back. Remember, if you find someone, you will be the leader. You have to know that the leaders get a lot of money." Heizi finished speaking and threw it away. A gold ingot of two golds was given to Lin Chengwu.
Lin Chengwu quickly arched his hands and said, "Thanks to the big boss."
Afterwards, Lin Chengwu left on horseback. For him, it is not difficult to find some people. The point is that this is much better than being a horse bandit. At least the officials will not care. In this way, there should be many people who will joined. Most people living at the bottom have a hard time. Let them be horse bandits and bandits. They may not dare, but let them go to fight the horse bandits and attack and kill other tribes. I am afraid that this person is not a minority.
It was indeed not what he expected. After returning to the city in the evening, Lin Chengwu went to a wine shop he frequented, where he spread the news. The next day, more than a dozen people came to him. He knew that. In a few days, more people will come to him.
On Li You's side, the sun will go down soon, and they have reached a forest underground camp. The sergeants were setting up simple tents. When Li You saw the low mountain not far away, he wanted to go up and take a look, so he walked up the mountain, and Feng Yao followed.
After walking not far, Li You noticed the snow under his feet when he climbed up, and found that the land under the snow was actually black. He looked carefully and noticed, where is this land? This is Asphalt sand is still a lot of tar sand. This made Li You really surprised, and he quickly started walking up the mountain.
After reaching the top of the mountain, he saw that although the mountain here is not big, the top of the mountain is extremely flat. His heartbeat is really fast now, and he walked quickly to search for it. After a short while, he found two spilled oil.
The distance between these two places is not very far, it is more than one hundred meters away. Maybe there are more than these two overflow outlets here, but the overflow point is slowly sealed by asphalt over the years. Here is close to the desert, and the sand will slowly accumulate, eventually forming natural tar sand. It is precisely because of this that this place is called Black Oil Mountain, which is really appropriate.
It is winter and the temperature is very cold. Li You and Feng Yao are no different from walking on the tar sand. When they reached the overflow, Li You squatted down and took a closer look. The oil here is very good. It is light petroleum, very easy to burn.
Li You smiled and said, "Okay, it's really great. With this, I want to see how long Yecheng can last."
Feng Yao on the side couldn't understand it anyway. He really didn't know what this thing was, but seeing Li You's expression of joy, he knew that this thing must be of great use.
"Marshal, what is this? How can it smell?"
Li You said with satisfaction: "This is kerosene. You can make fierce kerosene. You've always heard of this. There are too few things. They are all used as military assets. It is really rare for the civilians to see it. Good thing, just one point. It’s just right to use it to get the broken leaves. When the Chumukun part of the Emin River is cleared, I will come here to build a Wuxu Fort. Okay, let this oil be used. It, let alone broken leaves, Hengluosi can still take it down, five thousand, ha ha, how can it be used by so many people."
Feng Yao was also overjoyed when he heard this. He knew very well that Li You was really annoyed by this force. But now, according to Li You's opinion, the attack on Ye can be solved, nothing more than the excavation here. He said: "Marshal, in terms of time, can we have time?"
Li You stood up and said as he walked: "There are still more than two months left before the beginning of spring, which is completely enough. Don't talk nonsense about the things here after you go back."
Feng Yao clasped his fist and said: "The commander feels at ease, never dare to talk nonsense in a humble position.
"Okay, let's go." With that, Li You left with Feng Yao. After a while, they got off the Black Oil Mountain and went to the woods in the camp.
After Li You returned to the camp, he found Yan Qiqing. After he saw him, Li You asked him: "General Yan, what is the name of the hill to the north?"
"Marshal, I don't know the humble position. This is not a mountain. Generally, there is no name. There is no town military fort. There is no place name. We only know that there is such a woodland here."
Li You nodded and said, "I see, you can let the sergeants rest early, and you can get on your way tomorrow morning."
"It's the commander, he will retire in the end."
After Yan Qiqing left, Li You also returned to his tent. Although he couldn't avoid the wind and cold, it was much better than in the wilderness. After eating half a cake and drinking some water, Li You went to bed early. Tomorrow they will arrive in the afternoon. That time was when the cruel killings began, so I must sleep well tonight.
It’s nearly three hundred miles away from where they are going to attack. If you get close to the camp and attack the day after tomorrow, then the other party will be able to detect and defend, and send someone to report elsewhere. In this way, Li You wants It's hard to get it in one pot, after all, people don't just wait to be killed.
Most of Chumukun is in Brownstone City, southeast of Yibohai, and the tribe Kuaima on the Emin River can be reached within two days. If the other party adopts interception methods, the road can be cut off for them in one day. Li You dare not take this risk. After all, there are more than 30,000 people in Chumukun here in Yi Bohai. If you want to get three thousand cavalry out, it can still be done. Li Youke only has one thousand. Five hundred people, and you still can't expose yourself, otherwise the battle will be overwhelming once the battle begins. Even if you dare to fight, you will lose a lot if you win.
Fortunately, it’s winter. It’s impossible for Chumukun to graze in the Emin River. He stays at home for the winter. It’s easy to find someone, and this is what Li You hurriedly came to fight. one of the reasons. (End of this chapter)
