Chapter 7 Out of the Stopper
After he finished speaking, everyone had no opinion, and they all knew that this matter was of great significance.
Although if you mobilize all the mobile forces of the border fort, you need to consume the food accumulated over the years, even if you go out for a spin without fighting, the consumption is extremely terrifying.
Before the soldiers and horses moved, the grain and grass went first, and after walking 200 miles, 10,000 people needed to pay 30,000 people for food.
But for the sake of these people, it's worth it.
One of them got up and said, "If you recruit some brave non-commissioned officers to go first, you must also make complete preparations." If they suddenly change their minds, take that into account. ”
"The people who followed Suo Lushen to the west back then, in addition to the more than 80 people from our Mo family, there were also warriors from all over the world, all of whom were good at fighting and fighting. According to the letter, there are more than 300 people who have returned, and they can travel thousands of miles, and they are all brave people. ”
"In that case, you might as well sneak some weapons with you. Once Hu Ren changes his mind, then make another plan. This side should also be organized into an army as soon as possible. ”
"If it's a last resort...... They are holding on to the grassland, and as long as they can hold on, we can save them back. ”
"The Hu people are greedy, and they must not be guarded against."
Qu Jiang said: "That's right. Therefore, those who are selected first this time must be brave and fearless, and they must be people from our Mo family, so as not to have accidents. ”
"This time, I think it's better to send some foot riders there. The Hu people have no saddle stirrups, their swords are blunt, and their skills are not as good as those foot knights. If you dismount and fight on foot, you can also form a formation to defend yourself. ”
The kind of infantry knight company where the prisoner belonged was not many, because it was a huge cost to support such a team.
Generally, their task is to patrol and sweep on the grassland, and if they encounter a small number of people, they will fight, and if there are many people, they will run to the hillside to refuse.
There are few Hu people, and they can't beat it. If there are too many people, it is easy to be caught by the main force of the border fort, and if you can't break through the defenses of these foot knights on the hillside in a day, there is no other way but to escape.
At this time, Lin Hu had not yet been unified as the Xiongnu, and the tribe was still in the annexation of the jungle, as long as the tribe did not want to die or encounter a catastrophe to live, it would generally not provoke these people in Gaoyanagi.
The elite forces of each border fort are among the infantry knight companies, and it is these people that Qu General first thinks of.
General Qu thought about it for a moment and said, "This matter is confidential and cannot be disclosed." Prepare and draw up a list. ”
Ordered to arrange it, it was only one afternoon, and many people were selected.
We must not only be able to fight, but also be loyal and brave, and we must be fearless.
The name of the captive is impressively on the register.
This matter belongs to the "family matter" of the Mo family, and the "family law" of the Mo family is also used, and the value measurement is also the value of the Mo family.
When the prisoner returned to his lodging, the people in the company knew that someone had come here to look for him.
Sima Nei's people came around and asked, "Prisoner, is it about you going to be promoted to sergeant?" ”
Shu Prisoner quipped: "When did we sneak up on our promotion?" Ink people, hardship first, pleasure last, for the benefit of the world, death does not spin, think about what to do. ”
A few of his comrades smiled and asked, "Has your sister ever been married?" ”
"Get out!"
laughed and scolded, brought back a few sugar cakes from the restaurant and distributed them to everyone, and was called by one person.
When he arrived at a room, he secretly thought that something had happened.
There were more than thirty people in the room, and half of the captives recognized them, although they were not a border fort, but they had often heard their names in the usual "Northern Tranquility Newspaper", and had seen them in some gatherings of meritorious awards.
The more than 30 people present are all young generation of ink masters, all of them have extraordinary skills, although Shu Prisoner Qi is also considered to be the best among the younger generation in the East Side Fort, but compared with these people, that is, between the best.
Among them were classmates from the same academic background as him, as well as serfs who grew up locally, and a few tribesmen who fled from nomadic tribes.
The Mohists' policy on the grassland was extremely radical, without considering any influence in the world, and using the means of class contradictions against tribal identity.
One of the people present was a member of the nomadic tribe who fled back then, and fled to Gaoliu with his old lady and sister five years ago, and rented a share of the land to rent iron tools for farming, and the Mo family taught him to farm, harvest, and grind, and the family found hope in a happy land.
In a big battle the year before last, this young man dragged his leg and stabbed seven enemies to death, and the first thing he said when he woke up was that he hoped to become an ink maker who could benefit the world and build a happy land.
A third-class military merit medal, an ink card numbered after 10,000, and an oath that will not be whirled, in exchange for the qualification that the nomadic young man can now sit here and die first with more than twenty equally outstanding young people.
After the prisoner sat down, he said hello to the familiar ones next to him, and asked each other what was going on, but none of the people present knew about it.
While chatting, the door was pushed open, and three people walked in, and the captive and everyone present immediately stood up and saluted, and waved his hand to the leader and said, "Sit down." ”
The leader is the second person of the Mo family in Gaoliu, the old man who was born in the Xuanyi Department and the secretary of the secretary, and the old ink man who joined the Mo family in the era of King Zhou Weilie.
After talking about the situation in general, many people exclaimed in surprise and asked, "Is Solu Shen back?" ”
There are not many people from Peixian Sishang here, but since they have joined the Mo family, the Mo family often studies and discusses, and they also know the reputation of Suo Lu Shen.
It has been ten years since the envoy went west, and many people thought he was dead, but the name of this person was still on the Mo family's books.
A few good military horses, but also from the descendants of the horses sent back by Solushen first, the white star that the captive Mi rode is one of them, the speed is fast, and it is second to none in the Takayanagi army, and there is also entertainment such as horse racing during the New Year's Party party, and the captive Mi is famous for relying on the white star when he first comes.
It has been the tenth thought since Solu participated in the mission, the world is vast, life and death are uncertain, and there is no news. And this matter is more related to the worldview of the Mo family, how vast the world and the world are, and we can already get a glimpse of it from the fact that it took Suo Lu Shen ten years to return.
After explaining the situation clearly, the man said: "This matter, to put it mildly, is for the benefit of the world for all eternity." Suo Lu Shen is also an old ink man, and since he said that if he changes quickly, there must be something important. To put it mildly, this is a family affair of our Mo family, and since we are Mo, we can't say that we are led by the nose by those greedy and cruel people. ”
At this time, the ploughing cattle already had a nose ring, and after the nose ring appeared, it became popular to lead the nose with the emergence of the economic base.
"What Qu Jiangzi means is to let you lead the team as the backbone. You must understand the importance of this in your heart, and bring them back no matter what. ”
"The exchange of iron pots or something, it's all trivial. Five hundred iron pots can be collected today. It is important that those people return to Middle-earth safely. ”
"If it is a good exchange, everything is easy to say, the wish made by Solu Shen, the Mo family, this promise must still be kept."
"What if those people had a different idea...... Then do it with them. Remember, "If you go on the front foot, the army behind you will follow." ”
"Follow the rules."
After that, the more than 30 people elected the representatives of their respective groups in a group of five, and then set up the final committee members to take over the people this time, a total of six people.
There are three more people on it, plus these six people, a total of nine members, and these nine people need to take the lead in the event of a battle.
Shu prisoners were also selected into the six, two of whom were from the school, one was from the Si Shang, two were the original nomads, and one was the original member of the steppe tribe.
A total of less than two companies of people had to be dispatched, and twenty-five of the fifty people brought by the prisoners had to be transferred, and basically all the men were infantry knights, and two hundred and fifty people who could dismount and line up and ride horses to slash and kill.
The Mo family's astonishing organizational skills were also vividly demonstrated in the following two days, when the number of iron pots was insufficient, and enough iron pots were borrowed from various village communities in the form of secondment.
The mobile forces of the various border forts also began to concentrate on Takayanagi, and the village community began to mobilize personnel to transport food and logistics.
Within three days, the required goods were gathered, a special company of 250 people, and dozens of carts.
On the top of the cart were the goods of this transaction, but under it were hidden firearms, gunpowder, blades, and chains connecting the chariot.
The agreed place of the transaction was about three hundred miles north of Takayanagi Castle.
The people here in Gaoyanagi, called Beihai, is actually a lake, if the Xianbei name of the later generations is called begging to pay Yuan Chi, and then it is called Huangqihai.
But the local Hu people call it Nanhai, because the Hu tribe believes that this is the southern part of the grassland, which is diametrically opposed to what Takayanagi calls Beihai.
Although Beihai is 300 miles away from Takayanagi Castle, it is less than 200 miles away from the northwestern border fort of Takayanagi.
Gaoliu terrain is steep, and it is the only way to conquer the grassland.
Thirty miles to the west of Gaoliucheng, is Baishan Mountain, which is not famous at this time, but in later generations it is the place where Han Gaozu was besieged by the Xiongnu.
The terrain of Baishan Mountain is steep, and a small fortress was also built there by the Mo family. After Baishan Mountain and then to the northwest, it is the northwesternmost fortress of Gaoliu Five Forts, stuck at the mountain pass, which is the throat of the north.
Two hundred and fifty regular troops in military uniforms, as well as men driving carts, crossed the border fort and were about to enter the steppe.
Shu Prisoner Mi looked at these dozens of carts, and looked back at a few covered carts from time to time.
When he set off a few days ago, he learned that his sister was also in the team this time, and he also understood that he was afraid that what his sister said about coming to see the stars was far from being so simple.
In those carts, in addition to people, there were some tools that he didn't even recognize, and there were scales marked on them.
There are also two cars behind, dragging a few small cannons, mostly some small copper cannons that can be placed on the car array, which are not very powerful, but can be used in conjunction with the car array.
Shu Prisoner Mi is not worried about what the Hu people will do, in Takayanagi for more than a year, he has accumulated enough psychological advantages over the Hu people. Those tribes are too backward, and these people they bring with them can often fight one against three without falling behind.
Thinking of the reason why her sister said that she had traveled thousands of miles away, Shu Prisoner Mi thought to herself, and she didn't know how far Suo Lushen had traveled when he returned from his westward trip this time.
Thinking about ten years, Shu Prisoner sighed secretly.
This world is really big, and it will take ten years.
