Chapter 427
"At this time, we have to go out in our Tianjin Wei, wearing leather jackets and cotton clothes, and sweating at noon, why is it so cold here!"

Now I can see the outline of Zhangjiakou Fort, the sun is always high in the sky, but everyone in the Huwei camp is bending over and shrinking their necks, it is really cold, Ma Sanbiao is thicker, and on the opposite side of the horse is Mr. The general in uniform shouted.

"Commander Ma, the Xuan Mansion is to the north of Daming, and this Jiakou Fort is to the north of the north. The capital gets warmer in February, so it won't be warm until March and a half here!!"

"Sanbiao, why are you yelling with your mouth open? You think the cool wind in your stomach is less, so lead your people to go around behind, don't let our soldiers get separated!"

Wang Tong turned around and scolded, Ma Sanbiao hurriedly shook the reins, but the Qianzong sitting on the horse was not the uniform number of Huweiying, this was the Xuanfu Qianzong sent by the Li family to lead the way, since the Li family sent him Now, the young master of their family is in the Huwei camp again, and the one who came here is also from the family of the Li family, called Liwei, in his 30s.

This man is said to be Mr. Qian, the leader of the army, but he is more like a peddler who does business. He smiles before opening his mouth. He is very polite to everyone, and he is eloquent. The military supplies, food and grass, and the procedures and defenses at various fortress checkpoints are all very neat.

With him here, Huwei Camp has indeed gained a lot of convenience.

For such a role, Wang Tong also has his own way of coping. He handed over ten taels of silver every day, and promised to give him a big gift on the return journey. Li Wei naturally smiled and became more and more attentive.

Li Wei has stayed in Xuanfu for a long time, he is very familiar with everything, and he also gave some very effective suggestions, for example, the cavalry all added a dark-colored cloak, this is because of the cold weather, and the horses are sweating Come, it is easy to suffer from typhoid and cold. When the time comes, people dismount and directly cover the mount with a dark cloak, which can avoid it.

It was supposed to cover good horses, but Wang Tong was willing to spend money to equip hundreds of horses directly. Li Wei also suggested that it is better not to bring these large carts with crude benzene.

Anyway, there is a note from Lieutenant General Li, and the forts and military camps along the road will definitely provide food and fodder supplies. It is too slow to take this cart, and it will delay time.

It's very cold inside and outside the mouth, so go and go back quickly, and you can go back to Xuanfu town after a circle, and it's also convenient, you can pick up tents and other things in Zhangjiakoubao.

The very talkative, polite Wang Tong refused the proposal, and Li Wei persuaded him a few times, seeing that Wang Tong didn't agree, he stopped talking, but secretly joked with the soldiers who followed him, It is said that you can't just read the art of war and the book of war. Wouldn't it be more convenient for everyone to understand some things.

But this is also a trivial matter. Everyone has been getting along well. After yelling at Ma Sanbiao, Wang Yong rubbed his face with his hands a few times, and said with a smile:

"The wind of the knife, the wind of the knife, the wind is really like a knife when it blows on the face."

Li Wei rode his horse and leaned forward, approached with a smile and said:
"Your Excellency came to this northern land for the first time, and he was able to withstand the wind and cold, and the soldiers below were also well behaved. This is a remarkable ability. Last time the left guard from Longxiang came, no less than ten of them lost their ears and fingers from the cold. , let’s go quickly, when we arrive at Zhangjiakou Fort, warm up by the fire and have a sip of shochu.”

Wang Tong nodded, Li Wei looked back and came over with a smile and said:

"Our young master has been pampered and raised for so many years, and he hasn't suffered any crimes, but it's really hard for us to go all the way with adults!"

Wang Tong looked back, Li Hutou, Li Tao, and Sun Xin were also riding horses, but they were following behind a big cart. Anyway, the cart was big and tall, and it happened to take shelter from the wind.

************
The scale of Zhangjiakou Fort is not small. Although there are only 600 people stationed here, the nearly 4000 people living in Wang Tong's side can actually live there.

This fortress was the last barracks before leaving the fortress, so the regulation was for the Xuanfu's army to equip, whether it was barracks or food and fodder, there was quite a lot of vacancy.

When Wang Tong came to this fortress, he had the highest status. Mr. Qian here specially vacated a house for him to live in. He also brought hot soup and hot water, so he had a rare rest. At night, Li Wei led the Qiang Always visit.

The soldiers outside passed the news and invited them in. Li Wei spoke first and said:
"Master Wang, this is Liao Quanzhong, the manager of Zhangjiakou Fort."

This Liao Quanzhong is tall and burly, with a beard on his face, but he looks mighty. Hearing Liwei's introduction, he quickly bowed and cupped his fists to salute, and said in a rough voice:
"Your official has met your lord, you are so polite!"

Li Wei bent over and smiled, and said:
"Master Wang, I brought Lao Liao here to tell you about the affairs beyond the Great Wall. My family ordered the Lord to come down. Everything will definitely make you feel at ease. Lao Liao, tell me."

"My lord, the Huole Department is the nearest to the mouth. A small group of more than 3000 people is very obedient. The envoy sent the day before yesterday has returned, and the greetings have been sent. Please rest assured, sir, there will never be any twists and turns."

After Liao Quanzhong finished speaking, Wang Tong was more relieved, nodded with a smile, thought for a while, opened a wooden box next to him, took out a few gold ingots from it, handed it over and said:
"The Huwei camp is coming from afar, please trouble Mr. Liao Qian to take care of it, thank you everyone."

A few gold ingots were about 15 taels. Liao Quanzhong's eyes lit up when he saw them, and he took them with a smile on his face. Wang Tong said again:
"On the way back, I have to stop here, and I have to trouble Mr. Liao Qian. Of course, I am grateful!!"

"It's easy to say, my lord is too polite, it's getting late, my lord will leave tomorrow, rest early, rest early."

On the way back, I still have to be grateful, that is, there are still benefits and benefits to be gained. Li Yunsheng, the deputy commander-in-chief, ordered it down. Liao Quanzhong is just a little boy. Sheng, I'm afraid it's not easy to serve, but he didn't expect this master to be so "approachable", holding a heavy gold ingot in his hand, Liao Quanzhong couldn't speak well, not to mention the promised benefits, which made him even more excited.

"Old Liao, your eyelids are shallow, aren't you? Mr. Wang's own family, it's in your interest to take care of them!"

Li Wei dragged him out with a gag, and when he was about to leave, Wang Tong threw a piece of horseshoe gold over him, Li Wei quickly took it with a smile on his face.

The King of Hades is easy to see, and the little devil is hard to deal with. The deputy commander Li Yunsheng said hello, but it doesn't mean that he can treat these generals and soldiers with arrogance. It is always right to have a good relationship with these officers and soldiers when he walks in strange places. The big ones can't help, but the small ones can take care of a lot.

In that life, dealing with clients, building a good relationship with clients’ secretaries and technical support, often brought unexpected help. In this era, Wang Tong has been working hard to win over the little people around the big people, and there are many benefits.

This time coming to Xuan Mansion, it seems that it is really a march, Li Yunsheng straightened out the internal and external relations, and Wang Tong and Huweiying can just go through the situation once.

But I really didn't expect that Bianzhen and the Tartars had such a relationship. In the capital and in Tianjin Weidu, I knew that the imperial court was worried about the money allocated to Jiubian every year. With so much money for the military, I thought it would kill people, but I didn't expect Such a harmonious mirror image, the general is richer than the prince, and the people below are just stories. These days are really comfortable.

*************
It is already the 25th of the first lunar month, and the area around Zhangjiakou Fort, which was still cold and windy yesterday, is actually a little warmer.

The spirits of the officers and soldiers of the Huwei Camp after a night's rest have improved a lot. The weather has become slightly warmer, which has boosted their morale a lot. After going out, Li Wei said beamingly:
"My lord Wang is lucky, the wind has actually stopped, so it's better to go outside the mouth like this even if it's cold."

*************
After leaving the opening, walk for about half a day and enter the grassland. The grassland is boundless, and the snow has not yet melted. But when you come out from Zhangjiakou Fort, you can see a road that is obviously run over by cars and horses, leading to the grassland. being in.

"To tell you the truth, my lord, in winter, the price of this salt is high, while the Tazi's cattle and sheep are cheap, and there are many traders running back and forth."

When Wang Tong asked, Li Wei had nothing to hide.

Walking on the grassland and looking at the vast expanse, Wang Tong always felt a little uneasy. The so-called drill means walking a certain distance north after leaving the fortress, then camping for a night, and then returning.

Regardless of that life or this era, it was the first time for Wang Tong to come to the grassland. The emptiness and desolation around him always gave him a chilling feeling, which made him very uncomfortable. To get smaller, Wang Tong ordered someone to call Ma Sanbiao.

After arriving, Wang Tong pushed back everyone around him, and immediately said:
"Bring a day's dry food. You lead your horse team back. When you get to the pass, go around in a circle. The horse team and the team cannot see each other. You send scattered cavalry to follow, as long as you know where the team is."

This order made Ma Sanbiao a little confused. Just about to ask, Wang Tong said again:

"The cavalry you send out is sent out every half an hour, and you have to go to the official to say hello before returning to your place for rotation. If you don't see your cavalry coming over in half an hour, or you don't see the cavalry coming back, immediately lead the cavalry and me. Convergence, this ghostly place where even a rabbit can't see, is really dangerous, and separation is also a preparation."

Hearing what Wang Tong said was cautious, Ma Sanbiao also became serious, and immediately agreed. After a while, the horse team following the right wing of the team had already ran to the rear. The generals and soldiers all looked in surprise or curiosity. Here it is necessary to order people to shout:

"We are going back to Xuan Mansion tomorrow, let the brothers in the cavalry go back and prepare first."

After saying that, everyone relaxed.

General Tan, who had been patrolling the team, leaned up on horseback, and said in a deep voice:

"What did the master find?"

"Everything is fine. After all, here is an enemy's territory. Be careful. Divide the troops into two places and make preparations. I am worried about whether someone will attack at night..."

"You don't have to worry about night raids. We can't see them in the dark, and neither can others. Just be careful. If the Tartars want to do anything, it will be before the sun rises tomorrow morning."

In the early morning of the second day, Chihei in the tent suddenly rose from the bed, then lay down, with his ears on the ground...——
