Chapter 274: Capture the Sixty Mile Fort
In the evening, Wu Yun, dressed in a costume, entered the Lanzhou Tongda Cart Store semicolon from the back door, and went straight to Wu Song's room with his waist sign. Wu Song was not sleeping, and was pondering at the huge sheepskin map.
"Brother, I'm here." Wu Yun said.
Wu Song said: "Thank you for your hard work, how about it? Is the situation investigation still going well?"
Wu Yun said: "It's still smooth. Liu Changfeng from Sixty-Liu Li Fort is a rare military genius. His less than 300 cavalrymen were mainly composed of half-year-old children of seventeen or eighteen years old, and they also incorporated hundreds of horse thieves. Just half a year ago, Liu Changfeng was a friend in the horse thief. The owner of the horse thief had a beautiful daughter, and Liu Changfeng always liked her. But the boss looked down on Liu Changfeng, so the two of them had no results. Until one day, a nearby horse thief, one eyed dragon, came to the horse thief for a drink. He fell in love with the daughter of the horse thief. The boss was knocked out. The other eaters were frightened. Only Liu Changfeng's slender Tang sword killed the horse thief with one sword. "
"It's really a legendary story, what happened later?" Wu Song asked.
Later, hundreds of people in the Sixty Fort were afraid of the one-eyed dragon's hands to take revenge, and they wanted to escape. However, the fort was far away from the Song Dynasty, Xixia or Uighurs, and there was no place to escape from the small villages everywhere. Liu Changfeng said that escaping would be death, and there might be a glimmer of life if he stayed. If he had sex, he would follow him and ensure that everyone would live upright. Of course, no one listened to him, but the young brothers listened to him. The owner of the horse meat shop raised dozens of good horses and regarded it as war horses. He built dozens of spears, and the horses were ready, and a small cavalry appeared."
Pang Wanchun said: "The northwest area cannot be separated from horses, so why do you still need a horse butcher shop?"
Wu Yun said: "Northwest horses are widely used and there are many horses. Eliminated old horses, sick horses, and injured horses must be eaten. Like our beef restaurant in Dasong, horse meat cannot be eaten and requires good skills to be prepared."
Wu Song sighed: "This Liu Changfeng is quite as easy as when our Tongda Big Car Store was founded. Wu Yun, please continue to say, what is Liu Changfeng's economic income?"
"According to our investigation, Liu Changfeng has three convenient things. The first is to sell salt, and sell salt from Lanzhou Prefecture to the villages and tribes in the desert. The desert near Liushilibao is not as big as the west of Yumen Pass. They are all small deserts, and there are many oasis between the deserts, so his salt business has a lot of income. The second income is to protect some small caravans, take commissions from them, and charge a small fee. The third aspect is to farm farms and grazing, but this
Liu Changfeng was very poor. According to my guess, it might be a last resort to attacking the caravan of the Yuchi family. The Camel River near the Sixty Fort is rich in water and grass, which is suitable for raising horses and camels. However, Liu Changfeng had no capital, so he asked for protection fees from the caravan of the Yuchi family. As a result, the Yuchi family was used to being arrogant and fierce conflicts between the two sides, and there were casualties. The guards of the Yuchi family were very capable of fighting alone, but they could not fight against Liu Changfeng. They were very good at cooperating with small teams."
Wu Yun brought the map over, Wu Song asked Wu Yun to go back to rest, and he and Pang Wanchun were there to look at the map.
The map of Wu Song is a big map, a distribution map of the forces in the northwest direction of Lanzhou. Wu Yun sent the defense map of Liushili Fort. Liushili Fort, a rammed earth wall of one meter high, is just a small town with less than 2,000 people, but it is actually the first trading post after leaving Lanzhou. It does not belong to the Song Dynasty, Xixia, Uighurs, or Tubo, so the trade is very prosperous. This is also the main reason why Liu Changfeng has economic income. Whether it is a caravan coming from the east or a caravan going west, it has to spend some money to get to Liushili Fort.
Wu Song said: "Wanchun, what do you think? What are your plans?"
Pang Wanchun said: "It is not Wanchun's kindness. Killing people is just a lie. It is better to take it for yourself than to start a big killing. According to the information, Liu Changfeng has feelings and righteousness, and does not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He can transform education."
Wu Song said: "Everything goes with the flow, talk first. If it is inappropriate, it will be impossible to avoid a large-scale murder."
The Tongda Cart Shop in Lanzhou Prefecture was managed by Guo Sheng. Fifty coaches and fifty servants were recruited from the local area, and the grass troupe was established.
Wu Song, Pang Wanchun and others rested in Lanzhou, led 500 people out of the territory of Lanzhou Prefecture and headed straight to the Sixty-Li Fort in the northwest.
The scenery along the way is very different from the Central Plains. After leaving the Song Dynasty, the world immediately turned into a vast Gobi Desert. The desert and gravel were interspersed with sparse plants. Occasionally, hares can be seen running by, and it is difficult to see other wild animals.
Bablu danced excitedly and said, "Boss, boss, this is what my hometown is, deserts, Gobi, rivers, and all kinds of wild beasts."
Wu Song said: "It's far from that. You are the Gobi Desert on the African prairie, and this is the Great Desert in the northwest of ours."
Jiao Ting, Luo Ping and others were also surprised to hear the news. This was too exaggerated. How could there be so much sand and so much camel ringing with bells.
Yu Baosi always carried the big flag. Although it was the flag of Tongda Big Car Company, it looked so well-equipped and uniformly equipped, and no matter how you looked, it was not the equipment of a horse thief, the small caravan he encountered was still avoided from the distance, for fear of getting angry.
When you come out of this small desert, there is a gravel Gobi Desert in front of it, with sparse grass growing. There are only wild camels and wild donkeys in this Gobi Desert.
"Wow, wow." Xie Zhen's four military dogs were yelling in the horse's back basket. Xie Zhen said: "Brother, there may be something strange in front of you, the military dog barking."
Wu Song waved his hand and Jie Zhen lowered the military dog from the horse's back. Jie Zhen and six vanguards followed behind. The military dog ran very quickly and dug soil in a place that seemed to be strange in front. The vanguards carefully shoveled it away with shovels and discovered the mystery, the pit, the newly dug pit.
Wu Song is an expert in playing this. The cost of making pits is low and not easy to be discovered, but the actual effect is good. The pits are more than one meter deep, but there are no sharp wooden thorns at the bottom of the pit.
Pang Wanchun said: "It seems that someone has prepared it specifically for us."
Wu Song nodded: "Xie Zhen, you lead fifty people to clear the pit. Luo Ping, you lead fifty people to guard the vicinity, others rest on the spot, and you are strictly prohibited from walking around."
"yes."
Cleaning a trap is not easy to operate, but it is not difficult. The tools are ready-made. Use a long wooden stick to poke it forward. The trap has traces of newly dug soil, which is easy to find. It is easy to find when you find it. Just dig out all the soil covered on it.
