Chapter 683: Prairie Scenery

Everything was carried out according to Su Ren's plan, but the Huns had a little painless miscalculation. They brought one hundred and twenty-three horses, but forgot about the cart with the grain. Su Rendu suspected that the Huns must have thought that the grain would go to Yujidan's granary by itself, just like the horses when they came.

One hundred and twenty-three horses in exchange for twenty-five and a half years of grain for one man. If this person consumes one stone in half a month, that is, six hundred and fifteen stones, it is sixty-one and a half tons. This amount of food is not too much, but it is not too much. The capacity of a large cart is only about one meal, and it is carefully calculated that there must be at least sixty grain carts.

Looking at the mountains of grain, Zhang Junyue was both happy and headache. Happily, Su Ren did not lack two catties when he spoke. The headache is how to transport so much food? After thinking about it again and again, I still had to consult with Su Ren, and only by begging Su Ren to get them a cart and send someone to escort them to transport the grain back to Yuci.

"It's easy to talk about transporting grain." As soon as Zhang Junyue spoke, Su Ren happily agreed, and then said: "It's okay to send food, but you have to pay for the car and the guards, this is the rule." ”

Zhang Junyue had a bitter gourd face and asked timidly, "Then how much does this need?" ”

"It's four hundred miles from here to Yuci, and people can't walk much in a day to eat horses and chew, so let's calculate according to five days, sixty carts, sixty coachmen, and two hundred guards, according to the standard of three hundred people, no one has five dollars a day, that is, one stone of grain, and seven thousand five hundred yuan, if it is converted into grain, it is enough to have 1,500 stones."

"Huh?" Zhang Junyue was stupid. Feelings: Su Ren calculated that these grains didn't have to be transported back, and it wasn't enough for Su Ren to send someone to send them, so he worked so hard for such a trip, and he had to give Su Ren another 500 stone of grain when he was finished, so what did they want?

"Sir, is this, is this ......"

"Hehehe!" Su Ren smiled: "It's really a bit expensive, you only have more than 600 stones of grain and grass this time, and my shipping cost is doubled, it's really not suitable, why don't you find another way?" ”

"Sir, if the villain has a way, he will not ask Mr. here, beg Mr. to help the villain once, twenty horses, this is the limit of what the villain can agree to!"

Su Ren pretended to be embarrassed. Zhang Junyue knelt down for Su Ren and was hugging Su Ren's shoes and kissing them. Su Ren hurriedly withdrew his feet: "Okay, okay, don't kiss, hey!" I'll just help you this time, and if you don't bring a car and let me deliver it next time, I'm welcome? ”

Zhang Junyue was overjoyed and hurriedly got up: "Thank you, sir!" ”

The cart is ready-made, and the guards are a little difficult. I don't know if the thorns have subdued the bandits in Taihang Mountain. There were only thirty people in Mayi City, and these people were to protect Su Ren's safety, even if they were all sent out, it would not be enough. So Su Ren thought of borrowing troops, where to borrow them? Naturally, it is the nearest Yanmen Pass. Where to garrison this Han army and horse, it is not difficult to transfer 200 people, the key question is that Li Guang and Cheng do not know whether they are willing or not.

Su Ren returned to Wuzhou overnight, and ran to Shanwu to meet Li Guang before dawn the next day. Li Guang is darker than Su Ren, and two hundred soldiers can borrow it, but Su Ren needs to give him ten war horses. And also put forward a harsh condition for Su Ren, if these 200 people have any losses on the road, a life is equivalent to a horse. That is to say, if these 200 people were ambushed by the Huns and there were casualties, Su Ren would have to compensate for one of the dead and wounded Su Ren with a horse.

was slaughtered by the old guy, and Su Ren came out of the Taishou Mansion in a decadent manner. Han Qing came up: "Sir, isn't it two hundred guards?" Why do you only borrow one hundred and five? Where did the remaining fifty come from? ”

Su Ren glanced at Han Qing: "How about counting me in?" ”

"Ahh Sir is going to Yuci? ”

"Hey!" Su Ren sighed: "This old guy is too dark, we can't afford to use his people!" Besides, since you have come to the outside of the Saiwai, how can you do it if you don't understand the Huns clearly? Staying in Yanmen or Mayi, there is never a chance to understand, only to go to the core area of the Xiongnu. ”

"Isn't it too risky?"

Su Ren smiled: "It's okay, I'm not going to work hard, just run if the momentum is not right, not to mention that there are two hundred guards around me." ”

"This ......"

"I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, and if I don't enter the tiger's den, I can't get the tiger? The matter of Ma Yi has been completed, and there will be no problem with the matter of the field with that Sang Hongyang staring at it, and there are no other things like you? This time I will leave you behind, you are responsible for the contact on the thorn side, and if there is a problem, you will solve it yourself, at most in January, and at least in ten years I will be back. ”

"I still don't think it's appropriate, in case ......"

"There's no whatever, it's decided!"

Back in Mayi again, Zhang Junyue had already asked people to load the grain into the truck. Sixty carts lined up in a long line, and in order to avoid getting lost in the grassland, a long flagpole was erected at the end of each car, on which a small red triangular flag was hung. The wind blew and blew. The flagpole is very high, and in the open grassland, it can be seen clearly even from two or three miles away.

The remaining fifty people Su Ren had to figure out his own way, his guard had thirty people, counting Hawking, Shi Bao, Huang Thirteen, Manniu and himself, and brought in Ying Guangji and his four guards, and then transferred ten guards from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, just no more than two hundred.

The next day was a good day. Su Ren gave an order, and the convoy pulling the grain set off in a mighty way. All the merchants in the city of Mayi came to see them off, and after drinking the Zhuangxing wine, they almost released two horns to make a strong voice. In the prayers of everyone, Su Ren led people to the vast grassland.

Li Guang was still a little careful, and the people sent were actually his subordinates led by Lei Shu and Liu Jian. Since they are all acquaintances, things are much easier. Everyone understands each other, and they all obey Su Ren with a unified voice, and they walk very smoothly. After a morning, when I turned back, the city of Mayi was gone, surrounded by endless grasslands, no trees, no mountains, and it was easy to get lost walking in such a place.

Su Ren rode on the horse with great interest, and prepared to recite poetry. A mouth has become: Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep low. The voice is very loud, the tone is very strange, but it sounds majestic.

Zhang Junyue hurriedly complimented: "Sir's poem is really good, it is very flavorful when you hear it, Mr. has been to Eilechuan?" ”

"Ahem! No! ”

"Oh, sir has never been to be able to chant such beautiful verses, the villain admires it so much."

Ying Guangji sneered twice: "Sycophant, no wonder you were made a spy by others, it's a pity that you don't be a spy like this." ”

Zhang Junyue smiled: "The villain is the material for serving people, and being a spy is not harmed by others, but now it's okay, and I'm not afraid of anything with Mr." ”

"Humph!" Ying Guangji looked at Zhang Junyue as if he was looking at a fool: "Not afraid? Then when he sells you, count the money for him. ”

When I first entered the grassland, I thought it was fun. Looking at the flat river, it is definitely a good place to gallop on horseback. In early spring, the grass has just sprouted and blends with the dead grass of winter, giving a sense of vigor and vigor with greenery in the gray and yellow. This is the beauty of the grassland, where new life is born in the arms of old life, and it stores energy for new life in the future.

There is a black meadow in front of it, which is estimated to be the traces left by the burning of wild grass after being struck by spring lightning. Although I didn't encounter the grassland scenery of the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep, I still think it is a very good enjoyment. The wild horses in the distance and the eagles in the sky suddenly bring you to a different mood, and even the smell of grass is particularly pleasant.

However, as time passed, the scenery in front of me was the same, with weeds everywhere and no people and yurts, and desolation continued until the end of the day. Walking for a few hours is the same as not walking, which is uncomfortable. Su Ren had long lost the mood to enjoy the scenery, and took a nap on a horse, this feeling of being claustrophobic in a space was very uncomfortable. Even Ah Si stopped singing, drooping his head and not saying a word.

Ray was ridden over: "Sir, there are people following us, do you want to send someone over to take a look?" ”

"How many?"

"It's not a lot, it's very hidden, and I don't know the specific number of people."

Stretching his waist, Su Ren looked up at the sky and said loudly: "Captain Lei, it's not too early, find a place to set up camp!" ”

"No!" Ray was promised, turned his horse's head and left.

Gather all the carts in a circle, set up a tent in the middle, and light a fire, and this is the camp. The grassland is the world of the Huns, and this grassland is the world of Yu Dan. Although Yu Shan is not as good as before, he is still the king of the right valley, no one dares to come to his territory to harass him, and the only thing to guard against is the wolves.

The wolves of the steppes are fierce and intelligent, and they can steal cattle and sheep from under the noses of shepherds. Putting the cart outside is to guard against wolves, don't look at so many of them, it's really hard to deal with wolves.

Su Ren leaned on the grain cart to the west and watched the sunset. The western sky was filled with large fiery clouds, some like sheep, some like castles. As the saying goes, the morning glow travels thousands of miles, and the sunset does not go out, which is the rhythm of the rain. Zhang Junyue had already asked people to take out the sedge curtains and cover all the grain wagons, so as not to spoil the precious grain from moisture.

Ray was standing under the car: "Sir, it has been investigated, there is only one person." ”

"Oh? A person, who is so bold? ”

"This person is very vigilant, the scout didn't dare to get too close, I guess he also found out that we found him, so he didn't hide his whereabouts."

Su Ren touched Ying Guangji, who was sitting next to him drinking, with his knee. Ying Guangji shook his head: "Don't go, that person's martial arts are not bad, my subordinates are not opponents, if people want to make a dead hand, we really have no one who can stop it." ”

"Do you know who it is?"

Ying Guangji laughed twice: "People come all the way to you, and when they run out, they will throw it in Mayi, and they are not allowed to take the initiative to find something to do?" ”

"Is that him?"

"Hmmm! That's him. ”

Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly, beckoning Lei to be called over: "Send someone to call that person over, don't worry that he won't make a move." ”
