Chapter 1088 Entering the Bandit
After another day of wandering, Zhang Shun saw that Yu Chongxiao and Zuo Guangxian hadn't finished making preparations yet, so he thought about taking the pawns on the road, which not only slowed down the journey, but also wasted food and grass.

He then ordered: "After Zuo Guangxian and Yu Chongxiao have completed their preparations, they will lead the people to patrol Huamachi and station them. There must be no mistakes!"

Those two people have dealt with captives all year round, how could they not know about the matter of preventing autumn?

It is reasonable for Zhang Shun to order them to go to Huamachi to serve as the squadron now.

After receiving the order, the two hurriedly speed up the establishment of the new battalion, in case they missed the main task.

And precisely because of Yu Chongxiao and Zuo Guangxian's incident, Zhang Fengyi had to stay in Yulin for two more days, and wait until Yu Chongxiao and Zuo Guang left Yulin first to make a fuss.

On the second day, under Zhang Fengyi's reluctant gaze, Zhang Shun made up his mind to bid farewell to everyone.

Then he took Hong Niangzi, Wang Qiying, Ma Yingniang, Kong Wenjiao, Wang Jinyi, Wukong and Wang Ding with [-] riders and drove all the way along the side wall to Ningxia Town.

It was September, and autumn had already entered, and the troops stationed along the border had begun to harvest autumn grain.

Summer crops such as wheat, barley, and buckwheat are mostly planted along the border in northern Shaanxi, while millet, millet, black beans, peas, and corn are grown in autumn crops.

Corn is also known as Yumai, Xitianmai, and Panmai in northern Shaanxi. It was introduced to northern Shaanxi as early as the Jiajing period.

"Why is there corn growing here?" Zhang Shun wondered when he saw it.

According to his previous life memories, corn and sweet potatoes originated in the Americas, and were brought to all parts of the world after the Europeans discovered the New World.

Just like Henan's corn and sweet potatoes, it was through Li Baihu that they were introduced from Huguang in the south. Compared with Henan, Shaanxi is farther away from the coast. How did so many corns grow?
"This is imperial wheat. It was originally a crop from Fanland. It is said that it was brought back by the refugees who fled to Huguang. It has been planted for a long time. It is also called Fanmai, not corn." Wang Qiying couldn't help correcting him.

"Cut, what royal wheat? It's corn!" Ma Yingniang retorted, "Its color is like jade, and its luster is like rice, so it's called corn!"

In fact, she didn't care if it was wheat or rice, she just couldn't understand Wang Qiying and was just finding fault on purpose.

Everyone is a woman, she looks like a man, why should she be pampered for a few more days?

Wang Qiying was a little confused, how did I offend you?

She was about to retaliate, but unexpectedly Zhang Shun waved his hand and said, "Whether it's wheat or corn, they are all common things, what's the point of arguing!"

The red lady saw that the heat was almost ready, so she said, "This bag of grain was sown in March and harvested in August."

"The leaves can be fed to livestock, and the stalks can be chopped with a guillotine to feed cattle, or used for burning fire."

"Can you feed horses?" Zhang Shun's first reaction was to ask this when he heard that he could feed livestock.

"The horse is too delicate, it's not okay to feed this!" Wang Qiying saw what they were talking about, and couldn't help interjecting.

"It's better in autumn, when the horses are taller and fatter. In other seasons, you need to feed not only hay, but also black beans, buckwheat, etc., to make your horses fat and strong!"

When talking about fat and strong horses, she deliberately emphasized the sound of "horse", which made Ma Yingniang's face darken.

"Autumn tall and horse fat?" Zhang Shun couldn't help being taken aback, and asked strangely, "Why?"

"My husband is an amateur!" Wang Qiying couldn't help laughing, "In autumn, people still have to put on fat for the winter, let alone livestock?"

"That's why farmers say that they are green and yellow, and herdsmen also say that they are fat in autumn and thin in spring."

"In autumn, the cattle, horses and livestock are fat and strong after being raised in summer and autumn, just in time for the horses to go south. But in spring, the livestock are thin, and I am most afraid of waiting for 'searching'."

As soon as Zhang Shun heard Wang Qiying's words, he couldn't help becoming vigilant, and ordered loudly: "Order Wang Jinyi and Wang Ding to disperse the scouts for thirty miles, don't choose a cavalry to wear armor, and they will rotate every half a day."

The current Zhang Shun is not the same Zhang Shun as before, and he also knows that sometimes because of the source of information, the information provided to him by the generals under his command will be wrong.

According to Lu Xiangsheng's statement, during the autumn harvest and when the Yellow River freezes in winter, the captives would invade in large numbers.

He judged this time point as October, but Zhang Shun now felt that it was not a bad idea for the captives to invade in August or September.

Wang Ding, the chief soldier of the Yulin Battalion heard the words, while arranging soldiers and scouts to act according to the order, he came to suggest: "You can arrange the baggage carts on the left and right, and beware of the surprise attack of the cavalry, which will cause chaos."

"Okay!" Zhang Shun nodded, and couldn't help but look at Wang Ding in amazement, thinking: No wonder my father-in-law Wang Shiqin sent this person to follow him, and he really has two brushes.

It's just that this slowed down the marching speed. After three or five days like this, I never saw half of the captives.

The disciples of the generals of the Yulin camp couldn't help complaining, complaining in private: "This guy who licks King Shun's butt eyes only cares about his eyes, and doesn't care about my life or death!"

As a result, Wang Ding heard it, and couldn't help but cursed: "If there are captives appearing and disturbing King Shun, you don't regret dying, and you are not afraid of hurting your family?"

When everyone heard Wang Ding's words, they didn't even dare to speak back.

The generals of Yulin have a great reputation, which is obtained through the bloody battles of their ancestors.

Although it is said that they follow King Shun now, in addition to acting as "protons", they also have "gold-plating" elements.

But if you want to be gilded, at least you have to be "copper and iron". If you are a stubborn stone or grass, there is nowhere to be gilded if you want to be gilded.

Before almost everyone left the family, the patriarch of the family once said: "Fight to the death or die in battle, don't put the family in a dilemma!"

What do you mean?
It is to tell you that if you have the ability to "fight to the death" and make meritorious deeds, that's great, but if you don't have that ability, just fight to the death honestly.

Don't make it so that the family has to do it themselves and apologize to King Shun, and make everyone look bad.

Another day passed like this, and everyone who had experienced the wind and sand along the way was already covered in dust.

Even beauties like Hong Niangzi and Ma Yingniang look gray and have no sense of beauty.

"The Huama Pond is in front, everyone, work harder, and we can make some repairs when we get there!" Wang Ding couldn't help but cheer up.

The so-called Huamachi was originally the house of thousands of households in Huamachi. Later, in order to prevent the captives from entering the bandits, they were promoted to the actual Ningxia guard.

Among them, the Salt Department of Xiaoyanchi and Huamachi, the right general who guards Ningxia East Road, the rectification of Ningxia Hedong Bingliang Road, and the rectification of Yulin West Road and the station of the Deputy Envoy of Yanfa Tuntian.

At first, Liangdao, a soldier in Hedong, was killed by the rebel army. Later, the deputy envoy of Tuntian in Yulin abandoned his official position and fled. Only the original general joined the rebel army.

The city of Huama Pond is three feet and five feet high, with a circumference of seven miles and three minutes. The pool is one foot deep and two feet wide, with two gates in the northeast.

Not only is the city high and the pool deep, but there are more than a thousand people stationed there, so it is very suitable for Zhang Shun and others to rest.

Just when everyone was looking forward to a beautiful night, unexpectedly, a scout rushed to the scene and warned loudly: "The enemy is attacking, trap the bandits!"
