The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 854 Before the War ([-])

Coming down from the city wall, Lu Jinkang returned to the commander's tent, and Chun Lei, who was in charge of collecting news, hurriedly sent in the news.

These news included news sent by scouts in Beichen and the army, news from Dongling, and naturally a dynamic analysis of the situation of the people in Boni City.

"How's the situation there Madam?" Lu Jinkang asked while carefully looking at the information collected by Chunlei.

"When the commander-in-chief was in the city, the madam just came here. This is a burden that the madam asked the subordinates to pass to the commander-in-chief. The madam asked the subordinates to tell the commander-in-chief that everything is fine in the house. Please take care of the commander-in-chief." Chunlei said Then he brought a bag from the side and handed it to Lu Jinkang.

Lu Jinkang put down the information in his hand and opened the bag. Inside were a pair of strong and warm riding boots made of cowhide, four pairs of socks knitted with wool, a cloak, a set of duck down jacket and trousers that could be worn under armor.

Lu Jinkang looked at the warm and lightweight duck down jacket and trousers, his eyes lit up, he looked up at Chunlei and said, "Ma'am, you don't come here just to give this?"

Of course not!
"Madam brought a batch of shoes, socks, jackets and trousers, and the treasury staff are checking them into the warehouse." Chunlei explained the main purpose of Su Yunduo's visit to the barracks.

Su Yunduo temporarily organized a processing workshop for shoes, socks, and quilted military uniforms in the Marshal's Mansion. Following the Beichen Kingdom's attack on the Kangyun Ranch and the evacuated civilians, the number of personnel not only did not decrease, but doubled. The soldiers' families went to the ordinary people in the city. In a few days, there were nearly a thousand women who came to work in the temporary workshop of the Marshal's Mansion.

Although the Marshal's Mansion occupies a large area, it is impossible for Su Yunduo to keep so many people in the Marshal's Mansion.

After much consideration, Su Yunduo decided to set up a processing workshop for the families of major generals in the army in the inner courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion, and another workshop in the outer courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion for the families of low-ranking generals in the army.

The family members of other soldiers and ordinary women who came to work were divided into two places. Su Yunduo temporarily asked the housekeeper to rent a yard near the Marshal's Mansion.One is dedicated to processing shoes and socks, and the other is dedicated to sewing military uniforms.

The Zi Tiao couple and the Zi Lian couple each led a team of guards to be responsible for the safety of personnel, the distribution of raw materials and the inspection of finished products in these two places.

In addition, Su Yunduo also specially introduced a new measure for those women who could not get out of their homes to work in workshops and wanted to make shoes, socks and military uniforms for the army.

Naturally, someone should be responsible for this matter, Su Yunduo handed over this matter to Bai Kui and Zi Yue.

Bai Kui married Jiu'er three years ago. After the marriage, both husband and wife insisted on staying with their respective masters. Within a year of their marriage, they gave birth to a fat son who was only one month older than Sister Le.

Lu Jinkang took over as the commander-in-chief of Beijiang. After discussing with Lu Jinkang, Su Yunduo planned to arrange another suitable job for Baikui and Jiu'er, but the couple insisted on coming to Boni City, even the children. brought it.

When Su Yunduo took the children to Yongcheng, for various reasons, he didn't take the boy from Baikui's family with him. It wasn't until Yang Aoqun went to Yongcheng again that he brought this naive boy named Daniu with him.

Although Baikui and Jiu'er felt reluctance in their hearts, they were more grateful, and at the same time, they were rejoicing that they could finally get away from themselves and do a big job.

Ziyue came to Boni City with her husband Chunfeng after defeating Beichen Kingdom's conspiracy at Kangyun Ranch.

Chunfeng used to be the captain of Lu Jinkang's secret guard. After marrying Ziyue, he reluctantly left the secret guard and became the deputy manager of Kang Yun Ranch.

Although it is very important to protect the Kangyun Ranch, Chunfeng is more eager to protect Lu Jinkang on the battlefield and follow Lu Jinkang to charge into battle.

Chunfeng is the talent with the best martial arts and excellent military ability in the dark guard camp. He may not show it at ordinary times, but he needs it especially in war. Lu Jinkang discussed with Yang Zhonghe, the manager of Kang Qu Ranch, and others, and finally nodded.

So Ziyue also logically returned to Su Yunduo's side.

Because of Su Yunduo's new measures, the women in Boni City are almost fully engaged in the processing of shoes, socks and military uniforms as long as they can sit and move.

Although at least half of the people in Boni City have been evacuated because of the war of terror, there are still tens of thousands of people, and there are nearly [-] women who process shoes, socks and military uniforms.

At this time, the power of strength in numbers was fully demonstrated. No, in just a few days, Su Yunduo sent a complete set of shoes, socks and quilted military uniforms to the army.

Fortunately, when Su Yunduo came back from Yongcheng, he brought back enough coarse cloth. Before that, Kangyun Ranch sent a lot of fur and duck down to Bonicheng, and then successively purchased a large amount of cloth and cotton materials from Yongcheng and other places.

Even so, the raw materials that Su Yunduo can control are also decreasing day by day.

"I sent so many shoes, socks and military uniforms, where did she get so many materials?" After listening to Chunlei's report, Lu Jinkang felt Su Yunduo's strong support and felt sorry for Su Yunduo's hard work, and naturally thought of the problem of insufficient materials. .

Although the people who evacuated from Boni City to Yongcheng were attacked near Phoenix City, the defenses of Phoenix City and Yongcheng strengthened their respective patrols, but they still couldn't completely eliminate the harassment of the spies from Beichen Kingdom who sneaked into the city.

In addition to the last time the evacuated people were attacked, the team delivering food and medicine to Boni City was also harassed from time to time.

Judging from the news Chunyu gave him, this kind of harassment has been happening almost all the time, and even Kangyun Ranch has been harassed and destroyed from time to time. Although the loss is not big every time, it is still a headache.

"Madam organized a team to buy fabrics and cotton between Yanshan Mansion and Yongcheng, and they are sending them to Boni City one after another." Chun Yu dared not hide anything, and told about Su Yunduo's recent actions one by one.

Naturally, Lu Jinkang knew that Su Yunduo had some people in his hands. Some were given to her by Lu Mingyang, and some were given to Su Yunduo by himself. The Marshal's Mansion also had a guard team, but they had to buy cloth and cotton between Yanshan Mansion and Yongcheng and transport them back. In Boni City, there must be a lot of people sent out. With so many people sent out, the guard force of the Marshal's Mansion will naturally be much weaker, which makes Lu Jinkang sweat for Su Yunduo.

"Master, please rest assured, Madam has used the guards of the general's family." Chun Yu smiled and said with narrowed eyes.

In this way, the guard strength of the Marshal's Mansion has not decreased but increased? !
Chun Yu nodded again and again, and Lu Jinkang finally heaved a sigh of relief. Having a smart and virtuous wife not only saves trouble and worry, but can also be a support for the rear!
After asking about the family members of the generals in the Marshal's Mansion and the situation of Su Yunduo, Lu Jinkang continued to read other news, but he didn't know what he saw. He first frowned, and then slowly relaxed.

"Let Chunfeng come to see me, by the way, and you too." After reading all the information, Lu Jinkang slapped the case and stood up, saying to Chunyu.

Chunfeng was quickly invited into the handsome account, and Lu Jinkang handed some information to Chunfeng.

After looking at it, Chunfeng looked at Lu Jinkang silently, waiting for Lu Jinkang's order.

Although what he is most looking forward to is to charge into battle, he understands that the most basic quality of a soldier is to follow orders in all actions.

After reading these pieces of information, he basically understood that Lu Jinkang meant to send him to meet and protect the food and supplies purchased by Su Yunduo, and Yang Aoqun and his martial master had set off from Yanshan Mansion to Boni City.

Today, the news that Su Yunduo brought Ziyue and others personally sent nearly ten thousand sets of shoes, socks and military uniforms to the barracks has spread in the army. Although these shoes and socks and military uniforms have not yet been distributed, they have greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the army .

Although there are many factors that determine victory in a war, morale is extremely important, and the sufficiency of grain and supplies is an extremely important factor in determining morale. Therefore, Chunfeng knows very well that this batch of grain and cloth must not be allowed to have an accident at this time, let alone this batch of supplies. into the hands of the enemy.

Lu Jinkang asked Chunfeng and Chunyu to come to the battle map with him, pointed to a few places on the map and said: "From Yanshan Mansion to Boni City, these are the places that are most likely to be ambushed. The team escorting the food came here was ambushed here. It is unlikely that the ambush will continue here this time, but it is not impossible, after all, the terrain here is the most conducive to lurking.

According to intelligence, the second general's wife escorted a large amount of supplies from Yanshan Mansion two days ago. The two of you took [-] riders to meet Yanshan Mansion, and tried your best to protect the safety of personnel and supplies, but you also need to do what you can, remember. People would rather self-destruct their supplies than let a load of supplies fall into the enemy's hands. "

Lu Jinkang's instructions were basically exactly what Chunfeng had imagined.

Chunfeng and Chunyu looked at each other, and said in unison: "I will obey the order of the commander-in-chief, and my subordinates will not disgrace their mission!"

Su Yunduo soon got the news, and after discussing with Ziyue, he explained everything in the Marshal's mansion properly, and a maid who was quite similar to her figure would cover her, and the master and servant were dressed as girls. In men's clothing, sneak into the spring breeze and spring rain. The cavalry team left Boni City and headed straight for Yanshan Mansion.

In order to meet up with the supplies escorted by Yang Aoqun as soon as possible, the [-] cavalry rushed all the way, neither resting in Phoenix City nor in Yongcheng City. It was not until thirty miles away from Yongcheng City that Chunfeng ordered to bury the stove for rest.

It was also during the rest of the stove that Chunfeng found Su Yunduo and Ziyue hiding among the cavalry.

"You, you...you are so courageous! If something happens to Madam, how will you explain it to the Marshal?!" Shocked and angry, Chunfeng pointed at Ziyue and yelled loudly.

Ziyue felt a little wronged, what Madam wanted to do, even the commander might not be able to stop her, let alone her!

Besides, she didn't listen to Madam's wishes and insisted on coming with her.

Su Yunduo didn't expect to be caught by Chunfeng soon. Seeing Chunfeng scolding Ziyue, she hurried out to smooth things over: "I don't blame Ziyue for this, it's me who insisted on coming out. You see, I didn't hold everyone back! "

Although it was really difficult for Su Yunduo to come all the way fast, and at the same time, he knew that Chunfeng was angry not because he was worried that they would slow down, but Su Yunduo deliberately misinterpreted Chunfeng's meaning.

Although he was both shocked and angry in his heart, after all Su Yunduo was the mistress, and even though his calculation was so wrong, Chunfeng had no choice but to suppress it.

The people have already left Yongcheng for thirty miles, and he is really worried about letting the two women go back. It is better to let the two women continue to follow them, but this will slow down the speed.

Before Chunfeng found Su Yunduo and Ziyue, he planned to take a rest at the post station, let everyone have some hot tea and rice, and at the same time let the horse eat something to catch his breath. After he found Su Yunduo and Ziyue, he had to think about it. Take a look at the physical strength of the two women.

Chunfeng is not that worried about Ziyue's physical strength. After all, Ziyue came from the Dark Guard Camp, and he has run on more urgent trips than this. What he is worried about is that Su Yunduo will not be able to keep up. After all, in Chunfeng's eyes Su Yunduo can only ride a horse.

It's just that he didn't know Su Yunduo well, since she came out with her, she wouldn't drag everyone down, not to mention that she always felt that there was a voice in her heart urging her to join Yang Aoqun and the others as soon as possible.

Because of Su Yunduo's insistence, Chunfeng had no choice but to continue to carry out the planned plan, and even because of Su Yunduo's urging and eagerness, the next itinerary was actually faster than Chunfeng planned.

Although Chunfeng doesn't know why Su Yunduo is so eager, but he is also happy to see the results. The sooner he can join the material team, the sooner he can feel at ease.

Chunfeng sent Chunyu to lead several riders to act as the vanguard to explore the road, Ziyue accompanied Su Yunduo in the middle of the team, and he himself kept a close distance from Su Yunduo and Ziyue.

The cavalry team galloped all the way until ten miles ahead was the valley where Su Yunduo was attacked when he was transporting food from Yanshan Mansion before. However, everyone did not relax their vigilance. After all, the front is between Yanshan Mansion and Yongcheng. and the place of attack.

According to Yang Aoqun's itinerary, they should reach this valley tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

At this time, it was almost evening, and for safety reasons, Chunfeng stopped the team and buried a stove on the spot to boil water and eat dry food.

Chun Yu led a dozen people to the valley quietly. After about an hour, Chun Yu came back with two people, and the others were left in the valley to continue to investigate the enemy's situation.

Sure enough, there was an ambush in the valley, and there were quite a few people this time.

"The son of Beichen Kingdom is really a wicked man!" Hearing Chunyu say that all the soldiers of Beichen Kingdom ambushing in the valley were disguised as bandits and there were quite a few of them, Su Yunduo was furious, and his brows tightened even more.

Because I don't know the number of Beichen Kingdom soldiers who sneaked in, and I don't know if there is any backup Beichen Kingdom in the valley, Chunfeng didn't act lightly, but asked everyone to choose a sheltered place to rest and recuperate Spirit, waiting for the follow-up news from the spies.

Around Xu time, the spies returned to the camp one after another.

The news brought back by the spies included news of the ambush in the valley and news from Yang Aoqun's convoy.

After careful investigation by the spies, there were more than a thousand ambush soldiers in the valley, and all of them were capable, but no other helpers were seen within a radius of 800 miles. This news was not good for their [-]-man cavalry team. Bad.

The news about Yang Aoqun's team was both good and bad.

The good news is that this convoy of nearly [-] horse-drawn carriages traveled safely from Yanshan Mansion, without any loss of personnel or supplies.

At present, there are still more than [-] miles away from this valley. Because the road is slippery and difficult to walk, we will not be able to reach this valley until about the next day.

The bad news is that Yang Aoqun had a cold two days ago, but he didn't want to drag down the team, and insisted on letting the team go according to the original plan. Yang Aoqun meets.
