Chapter 29

The herald guard went and left a military order on the table.

He Wu's eyes lit up, looked at the military order and pinched his chin. In his opinion, is this a military order?

No, it's a rich document.

Since Su Lu took office, he has suppressed bandits twice. How much money has he recorded in his account.

Fifteen thousand taels of silver, ten million dollars!

This is more money than in the past few decades, I have made by cheating and pretending to be a tiger.

To suppress bandits, we must continue to suppress bandits.

Unfortunately, Erlong mountain is located in Beizheng. It's hard for our family to suppress the bandits in person.

"I said brother Su, you see we cross the border to Erlong mountain to suppress bandits. The Xuanfu can't blame us?"

He Wu asked with a smile, his face full of expectation.

Su Lu stood up, took the military order and walked outside the door.

He Wu grabbed Su Lu and said nervously, "brother Su, what do you think? How about going to Erlong mountain to suppress the bandits?"

"I don't have enough soldiers. I'll go to the princess and see if Jiedu mansion can spare some soldiers for me. How can a battalion of more than 200 people suppress bandits? A guard camp is almost the same."

He Wu nodded again and again:

"A guard camp governs four to six battalions with thousands of troops. In this way, the scope of suppressing bandits is wide. We have to add more troops. Grandson Luo Jian can control thousands of troops when he is in Nanguan camp, so can we."

When they arrived at the county Wei's house and saw Li Qing, county magistrate Tang was also there.

County Magistrate Tang said with a smile, "Sir, there are only more than 200 guards in our county. The military order of Xuanfu can't be implemented. Just let Su Duwei cooperate with the guards. We won't participate in the suppression of bandits?"

Li Qing shook his head: "county magistrate Tang, our army is at war with Tule, and the attitude of the two countries in the south is unclear. If this stalemate continues, I believe the South will fight again, and county magistrate Tang doesn't want to see that."

He Wu flattered and said, "Your Excellency is right. We have to do our part for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty."

"Lieutenant Su Ludu and I have discussed it. I beg your permission. Please spare a few more battalions from Jiedu mansion. We are willing to go to the battlefield and fight the Tule people."

When Li Qingwen looked at he Wu, a look of appreciation flashed in her eyes, but when she looked at Su Lu again, she was very unhappy.

Look at he Wu. Don't flinch at the critical moment. Su Lu, it's good if you have half of them.

"OK, I'll report this matter to Jiedu mansion, but uniform troops. It's probably impossible."

He Wu heard that his face was black and it was impossible to even the troops. What should I do? I'm afraid the matter of suppressing bandits in Erlong mountain will be broken.

Su Lu thought that I didn't expect you Jiedu mansion. Now the war is in full swing ahead, and the front line of suozibao Yang tile shop has been defeated one after another. Li Shenjun, who left yesterday, said that Jiedu mansion can't get together the grain transportation team on the front line, and it's basically gone forever.

Now it seems that the grain transport team was not only incorporated by Beizheng Daying, but also robbed by bandits in Erlong mountain.

"General, the Xuanfu government can't send troops out. It's not easy to eliminate the bandits in the territory. There are a large number of bandits in Jiufeng Mountain and Tianmen Mountain. We can't win them with our current strength."

Su Lu took out the map and pointed to the bandit strongholds in Beiyang.

It has to be said that this map is really difficult to use. It only marks one place name, the distance is not unknown, and the distance between places is completely wrong.

Jiufeng Mountain is close to Laoying mountain, but it is 50 kilometers away from Tianmen Mountain. In the picture, the three mountains are about to form a mountain.

Li Qing looked at the map, frowned and hesitated.

"Yes, the three mountains are so close that they can support each other, which is a big challenge for our guards to win these two bandits."

"County magistrate Tang, do you have any way?"

Li Qing turned to Tang county magistrate who was an old God.

County Magistrate Tang looked confused and forced. People sat next to him. The pot came from heaven.

It would be miserable if she said she had no way, and the princess became angry and put the pot on her head that couldn't eliminate the bandits.

Looking at Su Lu like asking for help, Tang county magistrate's beard began to tremble.

"Su Duwei, if I don't understand the military, I won't laugh and be generous. Su Duwei, I think you have a plan in mind. I think there are gullies in your chest."

For a moment, several people's eyes focused on Su Lu again.

Su Lu shook his head: "what can I do if I have a way? I neither have the right to recruit troops nor can I be temporarily seconded. If I have a way, it means I have no way."

As soon as Li Qing's eyes brightened, he promised:

"If you can collect all the soldiers by yourself, I will write to Jiedu's house and give them legal identity, but you have to solve the equipment and rations by yourself."

"What about the military pay?"

Su Lu was a little annoyed. He didn't solve the problem of equipment and rations. Has the Xuanfu been so difficult.

Li Qing picked up a war report and handed it to Su Lu.

Su Lu glanced at her and was stunned.

This is the war report that can only be seen by the first-class general of the general army. The description of the war situation is much more detailed. There are not only war events everywhere, including intelligence information obtained before the war, but also everything in great detail.

There were wars everywhere in the north of Xuanfu. The front line of Beizheng Daying was in danger. Suozibao was laid flat on the front line. Most of the garrison and garrison fell. There were few garrisons left, and the defense line north of Beizheng was basically broken.

To the south of Beizheng, there were many wars. The grain roads supplying Beizheng camp were cut off, and the losses of grain, soldiers and armor were serious everywhere. Jiedu mansion could not even meet the normal supply to the front line.

Su Lu understood Li Qing's meaning and wanted to expand the army. At this juncture, Jiedu government would certainly not oppose it, but it would not agree with it. Soldiers, weapons, clothing and armor, and even food and grass, Jiedu Prefecture can not supply them.

He Wu was worried: "Sir, this can't work. There are about thousands of people in a guard camp. We can't afford these weapons and armor."

Li Qing glanced at county magistrate Tang.

County Magistrate Tang immediately shouted:

"Oh, my God, sir, all the Yiying grain and grass in this county support Beizheng camp. When Nanguan camp was transferred, there was no arrow and cotton clothes accumulated in the warehouse over the years. If Tule people attack, I don't know how to resist the enemy."

Su Lu was worried. If he wanted to fight, he had to increase his troops, but now it's hard to look at the situation.

After two times of suppressing bandits, the city patrol camp accumulated a lot of food and grass, tens of thousands of liang of silver and copper money, but it's really not enough to support 1000 people.

A guard stepped in and saw Su Lu and Li Qing and reported it.

"My Lord, there was a traffic jam at the gate of Beicheng. The refugees from Suozi castle in Beiyang arrived. Su lvshuai, the city guard, dared not let anyone in and ordered someone to ask your Lord for instructions."

"Refugees must not enter the city."

County Magistrate Tang stood up and said, his face full of anxiety, looking at Li Qing.

Li Qing looked at county magistrate Tang in embarrassment: "if we don't go to the city, if these refugees go south or become bandits, we will be greatly guilty."

Tang county magistrate gritted his teeth: "the county government can take out part of the grain house porridge. I call on the big families in the county to donate more silver to ensure the food of the refugees."

"I hope Su Duwei will send the guards to suppress the porridge so as not to cause trouble."

County Magistrate Tang turned to look at Su Lu and said.

Su Lu's heart moved. The county government house porridge. He could take advantage of the opportunity to select a group of young and strong soldiers and train them a little. They were qualified soldiers.

"Well, I'll send someone to maintain it. Well, princess, the number of guards killed in the battle between brigade a and brigade B is insufficient. I'll directly choose from these refugees."
