Chapter 145 Wuling Barracks

The Wuling army barracks is in Wolf Fort. 【】

Located on the north-west side of the city, the straight-line distance from the city is only more than ten miles, but there are some hills blocking the road. To really reach the Wolf Castle barracks, it takes a moment to walk on a fast horse, and at least half an hour longer to drive a carriage slowly.

In the carriage, Li Jiashu first talked about the separation of the Li family, and couldn't help sighing for a while; then he said that tomorrow is the day to pay for the ransom, but the money has not been collected yet.

"Indeed, there are some real estate properties, and there is a large piece of real estate. If you really want to sell them all, it will not be a problem to raise tens of thousands of taels of silver. It's just that these are sold now. First, the price cannot be sold; second, these are all The root of the Li family's recovery, if it is really sold, it will be difficult for the Li family to get back up."

"If each family borrows it, it may not be necessary to sell the property?"

"It's easier said than done. Although the Li family follows the family motto of 'making good karma', they have made many friends. But now that my brother's life or death is uncertain, there are very few people who dare to lend money to the Li family at this time. In the old days On the surface, borrowing a few hundred taels of land is already a big face to ordinary people, but this money is not enough to redeem the brother back home. Speaking of this, I have to thank Mr. Su for his righteousness. I didn't care about the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I was willing to help the Li family raise money."

"Originally, Mr. Su promised to lend 1 taels of silver to the Li family. Fortunately, Mr. Su came up with a way to send plaques and labor troops, so the amount pledged by Mr. Fuyin was saved, so he reluctantly returned to the Li family. I collected 6 taels for the Li family. With the 6 taels of borrowed money, plus the cash raised by Yu Shouyi and I, there are about [-] taels. Although it is still short of the money the bandits asked for Some, but thinking about it, with a base of [-] taels, it’s not completely unreasonable for the bandits, after all, if they don’t change it, my brother is useless in their hands.”

Su San nodded, not thinking that the old man could still scrape together twenty thousand taels of silver at such a time.

"Well, Ning Yuan thought that the bandit was just asking for money. The difference between [-] and [-] was not that big. They should be happy to get this big fortune. If they don't redeem it, are they willing to give up the money? . "

"Hey, it should be like this, but who can say for sure? They were in the Li family, and they were killed by people from the Tiger Head Camp. This should also be blamed on our Li family. I'm afraid These silvers cannot be sent away."

It is normal for Li Jiashu to have many concerns.

But he didn't know that the facts were beyond his imagination from the very beginning, so his analysis would naturally be inaccurate.

The real situation is that the 'bandits' couldn't hand over Mr. Li at all, and it was impossible for him to let the Lin family get the ransom money from the Li family.

"That's true. But such a large sum of money should be cautious when exchanging it at the end. You must not go with the banknote alone. If you don't see Mr. Li with your own eyes, you will let the gangsters give away even the money." , If you tie another one, it will be troublesome."

Li Jiashu nodded, thinking that what Su San said made sense.Since he wanted to redeem someone, it was natural that he had to meet the person before he could be redeemed.On the contrary, the gangsters will regret it. We must pay attention to this point.It would be too troublesome if someone hadn't been redeemed and another person was taken in.

It's not, not possible.

Thinking of this, the convoy gradually approached the barracks.

The purpose of Su San following Li Jiashu is naturally not to go to the barracks to see the world.He wanted to take this opportunity to see if it was possible to meet Zhang He, General Zhang.

From Yu Feng's words, he could vaguely understand the seemingly incompatible relationship between Zhang He and Lin Hailu.However, he had to see it with his own eyes to judge what the real Zhang He looked like.

Although Zhang He is in rank, he is not as good as Lin Hailu.But in Wuling City, the one who can really fight against Lin Hailu is none other than Zhang He.

Once Lin Hailu is really desperate, only Zhang He can control the situation.

At the last moment, Zhang He's attitude was particularly crucial to Su Sanlai.After everyone has torn their faces off, the only thing that can really decide the outcome is force.

Any conflict escalated to the end is the baptism of blood and tears.Without this awareness, don't escalate the conflict casually.

"Here we are." Li Jiashu said softly as he walked towards the heavily guarded Wolf Fort.

Su San withdrew her thoughts, followed Li Jiashu out of the carriage, and headed towards Wolf Castle.

I saw a high wall built with huge stones at the valley entrance of the hill. Soldiers walked back and forth on the high wall.

On the top of the two hills, there are two tall tower castles, which look like two ears of a wolf from a distance, and the Wolf Castle got its name from this.

It's not as grand as imagined, but from a purely military point of view, it's really not easy to capture this wolf castle.

The four peaks are dangerous, all guarded by elite soldiers, and the roads into the valley are protected by stone walls.Large equipment cannot be stretched in the mountain road. I heard that Wolf Castle is one of the few troops in the imperial dynasty equipped with cavalry.

If the fort has enough food and grass, coupled with the maneuverability of the cavalry, an army of [-] will have a huge effect on the enemy's containment.

Seeing that Su Sande was careful, Li Jiashu smiled and said, "This is only the back gate. The real camp gate is to the north. There is already out of Minshan Mountain, and it is Yimapingchuan to the north. Apart from crossing a river, you can reach Jinling directly." The original purpose of setting up the military camp here is to take care of the two places. However, it has been quiet for so many years, and this role has gradually faded. The Wuling Army has also changed from the original 4 people to the current 1 people. Compared with those troops in the north, it is much worse."

"Oh, so it is."

The gate opened slowly while the two were talking.

A group of brightly dressed fast horses galloped out of the shaft gate.

With great momentum, the horse team rushed to the front of Lao Jun's convoy, and suddenly parted, forming two roads, passing through the entire convoy on both sides.

After the second cavalry crossed and turned their horses' heads behind the convoy, they circled up again from behind the convoy, wrapping the entire cavalry in it.

Then there was a figure who looked like a battalion head, holding the horse's head, and drove the horse slowly to Li Jiashu's side alone.

"Are you Li Jiashu?"

Li Jiashu quickly saluted and said, "That's the villain."

"Follow me. Remember, those who take care of you are not allowed to move around in the barracks. Drive." After saying this, the head of the camp put on his horse and rode to the front to lead the way.

Li Jiashu hurriedly called the driver of the motorcade to drive, and then pulled Su San into the carriage together.

The coachman said in a low voice, "Master Li, we came here as rewards for the army, but they are so rude and treat us as spies. There must be too many rules in this big camp."

Li Jiashu smiled and said, "Be content. If you didn't send someone to inform you first, how long would you have to wait here?"

Then he said to Su San, "This general is very strict in running the army, and he is also very strict with his subordinates. He didn't ask us to unload things outside the barracks, which is already very face-saving."

He laughed and said, "That General Zhang is really cold enough."

"Who says it's not? General Zhang stayed outside the city for six or seven years. If it wasn't for official business, he never went to the city, and even if he did, he never stayed in the city for a meal or a night. Tsk tsk, just this Patience is enough to be commended."

The horse team led the convoy and slowly passed through the stone gate, and the field of vision suddenly widened.

Behind the stone gate is a valley, and the entire valley was razed to the ground by the soldiers and turned into a huge martial arts arena.On the edge of the Martial Arts Field, there are wooden barracks connected together. It is roughly estimated that they can accommodate 5000 people.

However, the cavalry did not stop at this martial arts field, but passed through this barracks and a road between the two mountains to a larger military field.

Here, a low hill has been built into a terraced field, standing in the center of the military field.At the foot of the hill around the hill, it has been completely paved by soldiers and paved with gravel.

On the right side of the military field, there is a valley.In the valley, there are many military horses, and the neighing of horses can be heard from time to time.

There are also many military camps, surrounding the hill, spreading out layer by layer like waves.

Not to the scene behind the hill.But it is certain that there is another world behind the hill.

It's just that it was impossible for them to arrive, because the horse team led the convoy into the military field and stopped in place.
