"Sir, you also know that the soldiers under my command are all civilians, so how about the logistics soldiers? So how much blacksmith gives?" Zhao Hu said

At this moment, neither side cared about the opinions of the craftsmen in the provincial capital. The stay or departure of the craftsmen was just a matter of one sentence between the two sides.

It is not a big blame for the division commander not taking craftsmen seriously. Except for shipmakers who can make a lot of money and blacksmiths who can make weapons, other craftsmen such as plasterers are meaningless to those in power, so it doesn’t matter if the division commander bites the shipmaker and the amount of blacksmiths, and the other craftsmen are sent out.

"Okay, I'll transfer all the logistics soldiers of the division headquarters to you. Don't want too much blacksmith." The division commander said generously. "Uh..."

"Sir, the lower official wants to go back to the officer's territory in Haiquan Province." Zhao Hu suddenly said these words had nothing to do with the transaction.

The division commander immediately pondered and thought. Go back to the territory? Well, Zhao Hu is good, and a sentence means that he doesn't want to go to the garrison to die, and does not want to stay in the provincial capital to make me embarrassed. Well, it also implies that he cannot take too many people away and promises to transfer me the maximum number of soldiers.

"Hehe, this guy is amazing, but if he is not powerful, he will not be able to control a smuggling line."

In fact, the division commander was also worried that Zhao Hu, a guy with 11,000 soldiers, would stay in the provincial capital. If this guy had bad thoughts, his wealth and life would be destroyed immediately.

So when he heard that Zhao Hu was willing to transfer soldiers to himself, he generously gave half of the materials in stock to compensate him.

Now that Zhao Hu is about to return to the officer's leadership, it is clear that he will not participate in the future warlord battles in Haibin Province.

Thinking of this, the commander of the division who is very good at being a human being said, "Well, Colonel Zhao Hu, you have a hard battle with the Shanyue soldiers, and you also need to rest for a while. Let's do this, I will give you a leave certificate later."

"Thank you, sir." Zhao Hu hurriedly thanked.

With the leave certificate issued by the division where he is located, Zhao Hu can watch the wind and clouds leisurely outside. As long as he does not participate, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with them.

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands. Zhao Hu, to be honest, how many soldiers are you going to give me?" the division commander waved his hand.

"Seven thousand people, the remaining four thousand people will follow the officials back to the territory to settle down." Zhao Hu immediately smiled happily in his face. Unexpectedly, he was really a soldier from the two regiments. This was wonderful.

The commander of the division commander in a good mood said casually: "Zhao Hu, you are really loved by your subordinates. There are so many people who are willing to go back to your territory from your hometown."

But after this, the division commander's heart was thrilled. What did Zhao Hu bring back a group of people to the territory? It was used to prevent other warlords from making up for him? It was a joke. Now the neighboring provinces are all new warlords. Who dares to provoke Zhao Hu?

But can a major leader support 4,000 soldiers from bloody battles? Why not let another corps give me...

Ah! Oh my God! Why am I so idiotic! I actually forgot that Zhao Hu controls a smuggling line! These soldiers must be protecting this smuggling line!

"The officials are not as powerful as those of the superiors. Three thousand of the four thousand are from slaves." Zhao Hu said lightly.

The division commander was stunned for a moment, remembering that he gave Zhao Hu five thousand slaves last time, but now he actually told himself that he had become three thousand veterans?

How long has it been! It actually made those lazy and young slaves become veterans who are enough to compete with the Shanyue soldiers? Zhao Hu's training ability is too powerful, right?

The division commander immediately made a decision, praised Zhao Hu for a few words and said affectionately: "Since that's the case, brother won't let you suffer any losses. Although there are no young and strong official slaves, there are still a group of old, weak, women and children, including your slave relatives. These people are kept to waste food, so they will give them to you as favors.

"Well, there are at least thousands of logistics soldiers that have not yet been replenished, and they have allocated them to you. Anyway, they are just making a living, so they should not have any objections. Even if they have any objections, they will have no choice but to decide their fate after losing their military household registration.

"Also, there are dozens of wealthy families in the provincial capital, and each of them will be happy to take out a hundred young and strong families to support military construction. Brother, I will help you and ask them for help."

This time it was Zhao Hu and the others who were stunned. Why did the commander of the division suddenly become so generous? These are things outside the transaction. Moreover, there are at least 10,000 or 20,000 officials and slaves in the provincial capital. Although they are all old, weak, women and children, just like the commander of the division, they are all related to the three thousand slave soldiers. If they are brought here, they can definitely make the slave soldiers loyal to their deaths.

Also, there are at least 300 families in the provincial capital that can be called a wealthy family. Each family has 100 strong people, which means 3,000 people. This is another huge source of troops!

Zhao Hu said to the division commander: "I don't know how the subordinates should serve the superiors?"

The division commander smiled and said, "Haha, there is nothing to bother you, brother. I just hope to continue to maintain the business we do in partnership. At the same time, for my position to be firm, I hope you can strictly train those young and strong families sent by the rich.

"Of course, the brother is responsible for all the training fees and equipment for young and strong people. Just divide half of the people to the brother after they become a military force."

Zhao Hu also smiled. It turned out that he was interested in his military training ability. Thinking that he had to train soldiers anyway, it was no big deal to help the division commander train a group of troops. Moreover, the new recruits were in charge of the division commander, so he made a fortune. Thinking of this, he immediately agreed.

Everyone thought that the division commander noticed Zhao Hu's training ability and gave so many benefits in order to acquire elite soldiers, but they did not expect that this was only part of the reason.

The biggest goal is to ensure that you participate in Zhao Hu's smuggling route.

Now the empire is preparing for civil strife, and warlord separatism is about to come to the stage. What is the most important thing in a chaotic world? What is the premise for having countless soldiers? It is money. As long as you have money, there will be people, equipment, and army.

The division commander received the profits from participating in smuggling activities several times. He knew very well that as long as the transaction volume was expanded, the smuggling profits could be realized at any time than the provincial capital taxes. With a steady stream of huge sums and elite troops, he would definitely be able to destroy his own rats and become a division commander with real power. Perhaps he could go further.

Since neither party has any opinions, the transaction process is very fast.

A week later, Zhao Hu handed over 7,000 veterans to the division commander, and then left the provincial capital with more than 2,000 giant carriages, more than 3,000 war horses, more than 4,000 soldiers, more than 6,000 young and strong, more than 7,000 craftsmen, more than 50,000 people, and more than 70,000 cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.

Zhao Hu, who left the provincial capital, marched according to his habitual arrangement. One thousand soldiers were the vanguards, one thousand soldiers were guarding each side, one thousand soldiers behind him, and one thousand soldiers were in the middle, and tens of thousands of people were noisy.

The forward is led by Zhao Hu himself.

The weather is still cold, but under the early spring sunshine, the buds of the surrounding trees are timid, making everyone feel comfortable. However, this comfortable feeling is quickly broken.

The scouts who spread out from the team quickly ran over to report: "Sir, more than 50,000 infantry gathered in combat posture ten miles ahead. It is obvious that they are directed at us."

Zhao Hu first asked the troops to guard the enemy before asking: "Fifty thousand people? Which unit belongs?"

He couldn't figure out why there were so many enemies ahead. From here to the boundary of Haiquan Province, there were three or four county governments. According to the division meeting not long ago, there were only three or four corpses. They had only more than 10,000 people together. Why did 50,000 suddenly appear?

"Everyone was wearing imperial uniforms, and the flags were hung from the Fourth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the Haibin Provincial Garrison Division." The scout replied.

"Fourth United?"

Zhao Hu immediately remembered the middle-aged colonel he met at the door when he entered the conference room. By the way, the colonel had always been hostile to him during the meeting. How could this happen? Did he offend him?

"Only the flag of the Fourth Regiment?" Zhao Hu asked.

"Yes, there is only the Fourth Regiment flag." The scout replied.

"When did the Fourth Regiment have so many soldiers? The meeting has not been over for ten days. In a few days, the corps with 3,000 people have been expanded into more than three brigades?" Zhao Huyou was stunned.

Do you dare to use the troops who are eager to expand like this to block the road and rob? Is it a piece of troop with such a large number on your side?

Sun Jie, the secret detective leader, had a very flexible mind and immediately knew what Zhao Hu was thinking. He hurriedly said: "He must have known that we had brought a large number of supplies from the provincial capital and brought a large number of craftsmen. He also knew that we gave seven thousand veterans to the division commander, thinking that so many of us were just a mob, so he took the opportunity to block the road and robbed."

Zhou Wen, who was standing beside him, hurriedly answered: "Sir, you can't be soft when you encounter such a thing, otherwise when we return to the territory, all the material craftsmen will be blackmailed! You must beat them up!"

"Well, Sun Jie and fifty personal guards stayed, and another thousand people in the back team were left behind. Dingkou team was camped here, and the others and I went there." Zhao Hutou said.
Chapter completed!
