The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 183: Nearly [-] enemy troops are approaching!

Just a few days after returning from the Fifth Camp, Song Yingkui had no choice but to return to the Fifth Camp in a hurry.

Wei Dadao's decision to bring people to surrender is a big deal and cannot be neglected.The road from Weijiachuan to Wuying requires passing through a long distance of enemy-occupied territory. The Wei family, with their old and young, will definitely not be able to make it independently. The Yungu Army must send people to support them to ensure that the people led by Wei Dadao arrive safely. Within Wuying territory.

"Lieutenant General Yang, this time the reception of the Wei family's entry is under your full command! I will transfer an infantry battalion and a cavalry battalion from the official camp, plus five cavalry battalions, a total of about a thousand people under your command. Welcome. When the Wei family arrives, I suggest that we first take the Sichuan Road to the vicinity of Yuyuan County, then take the mountain road and enter our fifth camp through Langguan. After you see Wei Dadao, tell him and the Wei family that I plan to resettle the whole family in Sichuan near Sanchakou. There are rivers and rivers there and there are not many people now. It's just for the people! Let them not worry about life problems!" Song Yingkui left everything to Yang Shunan to prepare for Wei Dadao, which could just train his ability to independently undertake the war, so as to prepare for the next Prepare for more intense fighting.

After hearing Song Yingkui's arrangement, Yang Shunan showed hesitation. After hesitating for a while, he said, "My lord, is it too dangerous to take the Sichuan Road? It is easy to be chased by Xiang Jun's cavalry. How about we take Wei Jiachuan's people over the mountain?" Go to the mountain road of Qian Castle and take the mountain road to the fifth camp."

"No! The mountain road is difficult to travel. There will definitely be many old and weak people in the Wei family. If we walk on the mountain road, the team will be very long, which is not conducive to our army's care. If Xiang Jun makes a surprise attack, the team will not be able to look at each other, and will suffer The loss will be huge. This time, our army plus Wei Jiachuan's strong men, the number of available troops is almost 5000. We should be more cautious on the road. Unless Xiang Jun mobilizes [-] people to encircle us, it is possible to stop us. To be honest, with this Firearms, I don't feel the need to be afraid of Xiang Jun's field battle. In my opinion, the most worrying thing is not Xiang Jun's frontal attack, but that they will fight us in a protracted harassing war with their large number of soldiers and generals. "

Anyway, the total number of regular soldiers in each branch is more than 3000. Song Yingkui is not worried about frontal combat now.Xiang Jun didn't have a bronze head or an iron arm. They didn't get much advantage in the field battle, and they couldn't defeat Yungu's army in one go.If it weren't for the unstable foundation and insufficient troops on Xisu's abandoned territory, Song Yingkui's view of using offense instead of defense would not be a tactic that should be considered.

The matter of assisting Wei Dadao's entry progressed very quickly. It took less than ten days from the time the news came to Yang Shunan leading troops to take Tong back.In the process of responding, Xiang Jun naturally took action. However, facing the Yungu Army who carried a large number of firearms, Xiang Jun, who was in a hurry, could not concentrate his efforts to stop it. He could only watch the Wei family arrive at Langguan. .

"Why are there so many people in the Wei family? Why can't I see more than ten thousand people?" Looking at the Wei family members coming in a steady stream on the streets of Wuying Town, Song Yingkui quickly called Yang Shunan elsewhere to ask his question.

No matter how big the Wei family is, it's impossible for them to have more than [-] people, right?This posture is a bit scary.

"In addition to the people of the Wei family, the Wei family has recently taken in many people who have fled from the surrounding areas. In addition, when we went to pick up people this time, many people who were hiding from Xiang thieves came in, so we brought back such people. There are many people. I didn't take detailed notes on the way, but it's very likely that there are tens of thousands of people." Yang Shun explained why he brought so many people back. It was not just the Wei family who wanted to take refuge in Yungu.Nowadays, Yungu has become the only reliable refuge in the nearby area thousands of miles away. Anyone who has the means wants to come here.

"That's okay! It's also a good thing to relocate all these people near Sanchakou." To be honest, it is not necessarily a good thing to suddenly move a force from the same family into the territory.From a family perspective, the newly arrived Wei family suddenly became the largest family under Yun Gujun's rule, and there were still hidden management risks. The extra refugees were just used as sand.Song Yingkui, who had an idea in his mind, said after seeing Wei Dadao and saying a few words: "Brother Wei, I originally thought of placing all the people you brought here in the river next to Sanchakou, but the people who came this time are really... There are a lot of people there. The current conditions there may not be able to properly accommodate so many people. Let's put it this way, [-] households from your Wei family will be moved to Huichuan Town, and then [-] households will be moved to Taoyang Town for resettlement. The conditions in these two places are It's better, but there are more old households and not much leftover land, so if we add too many households, we can only add two to three hundred households, what do you think?"

When Wei Dadao heard this, he didn't react for a moment. Now that he was fleeing with his whole family, it was already good enough that he had just arrived and had land to live in and land. What else could he ask for?He nodded quickly in agreement! "City Lord Song, in these troubled times, we, the Wei family, are lucky enough to have a roof over our heads. When we came under Yungu's rule, Wei only listened to the instructions of the city lord. By the way, there is something difficult to say about Wei. This time We didn’t bring much rations with us, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to meet the food harvest in the coming year. We hope that the city lord’s palace will provide some rations for emergencies.”

"It's easy to say. When I'm under the rule of Yun Gu, I will take care of you in times of emergency. Don't blame you. In recent times, the refugees who have poured into our territory have all taken appropriate measures to calm the people. Brother Wei, please don't do this. We are worried about everything." For the refugees who entered the country, Yungu Army provided a large number of job opportunities. At the same time, it also solved the employment problem of some people through recruitment. Once they have income, they can use money to buy food. The basic livelihood of the refugees is Guaranteed.

More than [-] people came at once, and the resettlement work was very troublesome. It took more than ten days to get all these people settled.The only thing left to do is to allocate fields to them and recruit workers and soldiers from them.

In the past few days, Song Yingkui also discussed with Wei Dadao himself the arrangements for himself and the young men of the Wei family.The Yungu Army will recruit three to four hundred regular soldiers from the Wei family and distribute them to each army.And relying on the horses brought by Wei Dadao, another battalion of cavalry was built.Wei Dadao himself gave him the position of commander of the cavalry battalion, but he did not serve in a newly built battalion, but in the cavalry battalion stationed in Manwa. Before taking office, he had to familiarize himself with Song Yingkui's military affairs for a period of time.

While Wei Dadao was being assigned a position, Zuo Shaotang, who had been idle before, was also assigned a position and asked him to go to the cavalry battalion led by Wei Dachuan to become a captain.Although Zuo Shaotang is a gangster, his personal combat skills are not bad. Letting him work under Wei Dadao can also act as a check and balance.

The family base is already thin, so outsiders with some talent can use it if they can. This will also make the system healthier and more inclusive.It can also have a demonstration effect, allowing more talented people to have a good impression of the Yungu Army and know that this team is not a nepotistic township party army.

The dangerous situation will not give people the opportunity to calmly build a solid foundation. Liang Huonv, the general of Xiang Jun's expedition to the west, who is experienced in military affairs, knows that she cannot give Yungu Army too much time to strengthen its military strength and stabilize its territory.In early November of the fourth year of Jingli, after stabilizing the front line across the river with the Western Fan Army at the mouth of the Dachuan River, Xiang Jun could no longer hold himself back and mobilized a large army to launch an attack under the Yungu Army.

This time, Xiang Jun attacked across the board. Langguan, Yanchuan, Guanying and other places that were in contact with the areas controlled by Xiang Jun all welcomed Xiang Jun.Nearly ten thousand troops pressed forward across the border, vowing to defeat Yungu's army in one fell swoop.
