Chapter 275 Departure overnight
Even Liu Changfeng's original horse butcher shop owner had to grazed more than 20 horses in addition to opening a horse butcher shop. Later, Liu Changfeng started his business with more than 20 horses and became the capital to start his business.
Looking around, the earthen walls of Liushili Fort have been around for a while, and probably less than a hundred years have passed. People in the Central Plains are a little uncomfortable with it. There are not even many hard stones here, and the walls of yellow mud are only ten feet high.
The strong wind blew the sand and dust, and Luo Ping said, "How could there be such a desolate place where birds don't shit."
Liu Changfeng frowned and said, "Silly, how can you speak? Your hometown is so frightened."
Luo Ping said: "My hometown chickens are shitty. There are streams in front of and behind the house, and trees are everywhere. Look at what's there."
Liu Changfeng's speechless Sixty Fort is indeed much more desolate than Shandong. Liu Changfeng said: "There are rivers in the Sixty Fort that can grow very sweet cantaloupes, barley, barley, and buckwheat."
Wu Song said: "The Sixty-Li Fort is too small. It is very inconvenient for 500 cavalry to be stationed in the fort. Just choose a camp downstream of the river. Jie Zhen, you arrange for the camp to be stationed. Pang Wanchun and Liu Changfeng, I will go to the fort to take a look."
The fort is completely a slum, with all kinds of bad houses, only the central street is prosperous, including taverns, inns, blacksmith shops, cart shops, and water shops. The so-called water shop is a specialty for selling water. The caravans are in a hurry to go to the river or well to fetch water by themselves. The water shops put the water in the water tank. When the caravans come, they can load water, drink horses, and drink camels, making hard money.
The headquarters of Liushilibao, which is Liu Changfeng's military headquarters, Wu Song looked around and found that it was quite simple. Wu Song said: "Changfeng, what are your plans and how to develop it?"
Liu Changfeng said: "My plan is to pay a lot of money for the Yuchi family, three or four taels of silver, so that they can have money to buy a thousand camels, and then all the villages within a hundred miles of Liushilibao are classified under management. There are about 40 villages with more than 30,000 people, with a vast land but a large land, and a lot of livestock can be raised. A year's tax revenue, plus the money collected from the control of the trade routes, is enough to support a team of 3,000 people."
Wu Song nodded: "Okay, you are familiar with this place, so follow your method first. Are there any forces that need to be flattened or subdued?"
Liu Changfeng took out a simple map and pointed to the map and said, "There are several horse thieves within a hundred miles and have been flattened, but dozens of villages have not yet formed effective management."
Pang Wanchun asked: "What is effective management?"
Liu Changfeng explained: "It is difficult for villages in the border areas to survive without relying on large forces. If they want to pay money and grain, they have to protect their safety. This is called effective management. Now I have more than 200 people, so it has not been effectively managed. There is also a huge force called the Qianqi Gang horse thief, with thousands of cavalry and thousands of camels, controlling a large area of Gobi west of the Sixty-Li Li Fort. There is a long river there. The land on both sides of the river is fertile and the food is sufficient, so it is very powerful."
Wu Song nodded: "Changfeng, do you think this Qianqi Gang should kill or stay."
Liu Changfeng said: "Although the horse thieves of Qianqi Gang are only a thousand cavalrymen, the team is full of old horse thieves with ages. They are murderous and have fierce attack power. They are far from being able to resist newcomers like Liushili Fortress. Of course, it will be different if you join. They are all armored, helmets, strong bows and crossbows. If they are properly operated, they can completely defeat the Qianqi Gang."
Wu Song looked at Pang Wanchun and asked, "Wanchun, what do you think?"
"A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If there is a battle sooner or later, it is better for Deputy General Liu and I to set off overnight, bring only three hundred light cavalry, and rush to take their big and small leaders before the Qianqi Gang gathers, then return to repair it, and slowly annex the Qianqi Gang's territory." Pang Wanchun said.
Wu Song said: "Okay, then let's set off overnight, and I will lead the team to fight."
"yes."
Pang Wanchun selected 150 cavalry from the camp, and Liu Changfeng selected 150 cavalry. Wu Song had only fifty cavalry, a total of 350 people set off overnight and drove more than 100 miles in one night. At dawn, he had already entered the territory of the Qianqi Gang.
Liu Changfeng said: "Brother, how do you know where the Qianqi Gang's nest is?"
"I investigated it a month ago. Before the troops moved, the intelligence was first taken. The reason for subdue you was because the intelligence personnel investigated and found that you were good-character and did not kill innocent people by chance." Wu Song said.
Liu Changfeng felt that his neck was cold. This feeling was very unhappy. He was missed a month ago.
Wu Song patted Liu Changfeng on the shoulder: "In the future, there is great potential. Our team is committed to not giving up and treating our own people very well."
Liu Changfeng said: "Yes, brother, don't worry."
The south bank of Tianshui River is a huge grassland, where camels from thousands of horses are grazed here. Camels are widely used in the desert Gobi area. First, they have great strength and good loads of things, and second, they are much more tolerant to the desert than horses.
The team rested for more than two hours before lurking to the grassland of Tianshui River. The flying eagle, the head of the Qianqi Gang, was stationed here. Although it claimed to have more than 1,000 people under its command, its troops were very scattered, and there were less than 300 people in this grassland.
It was very difficult for the cavalry to attack in broad daylight, so Wu Song did not intend to do it secretly, but blew the horn from afar. By then, the thieves of the Qianqi Gang had already gathered. The leader Qianqi Feiying took the lead, holding two sharp Western Region scimitars in his hand, and the cold light shone.
The team in front of me was a little unfamiliar, and I had never seen it before.
Luo Ping said: "I have walked thousands of miles and have not fought a war yet. I have to fight anyway."
Wu Song said: "Then you go and be careful."
Luo Ping turned over and dismounted, carried a tiger slapped and came to the two armies with a slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapped slapp
The horse thieves claim to be swordsmen and never think they are horse thieves. When they hear Luo Ping's insulting words, they are very angry. They first came out of the Pegasus, known as the Desert Wolf. This guy uses a large iron spear common in the Central Plains, which seems to be from the Central Plains.
Luo Ping doesn't care about you, this kid is doing bad things again. When the desert wolf rushed over, Luo Ping held the tiger's slap with his left hand and pulled out the short dragon musket hanging on his waist with his right hand. It was dozens of meters away from the desert wolf's face.
Suddenly, a good face turned into a rotten persimmon, and the blood was left behind. The horses were out of control and even ran over. Luo Ping stopped doing it, and he was a family of people and horses, and even photographed them.
