Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

Leng Ruoxue is an impatient person and will not change her mind once she has made a decision.

Leng Zejin was promoted and had a lot of things to do, so he had to stay in the capital. So the task of delivering military rations was assigned to the four brothers of the Wei family.

Two thousand soldiers and the 1000 carriages that were barely gathered were handed over to the four brothers.

Among them, there are 500 cavalry, 1500 infantry, and 2000 chariot drivers.

1000 of the 100 carriages were loaded with one month's worth of food and horse feed for the 4000 men.

Wei Qinfeng, as the commander of this grain transportation, was in high spirits. He brought Wei Qinzhong, Wei Qinhao and Wei Qinyu, who also had the same spirit, to Leng Ruoxue's imperial farm.

"Princess, the general said that the itinerary arrangements for this journey are up to you. I have brought people and cars with me. Please take a look at how to arrange it."

"Cousin, my plan is that you draw the firepower while we secretly transport the food."

"Attracting what firepower?"

Wei Qinfeng was puzzled.

"Look, cousin, this side, this side, this side, and this side are all bandits."

Wei Qinfeng looked at the map and asked, "How did my cousin know there were bandits in these places?"

The direction they were going to was different from the Heyuan County where Leng Ruoxue came from.

My cousin has only traveled back and forth between Heyuan County and the capital twice.

How could you know so much about the bandits in the north?

"There's a telegram."

Leng Ruoxue looked at Wei Qinfeng as if he were a fool.

"Did the bandits send you a telegram?"

Wei Qinfeng still didn't react.

Leng Ruoxue:……

"I arranged for someone to conduct an investigation, so I found out there were bandits in these places."

The secret intelligence network of the telegraph machine cannot be exposed. Although he is my cousin, he can be put behind because he has not even told his father about it.

"Okay, cousin, I got it. Stay away from these bandits and ensure the safety of military rations."

The military rations of Qian State had been robbed more than once or twice, so every time military rations were delivered, not only a large number of soldiers were needed, but also the cooperation of local troops from various places.

"Cousin, I just said that you should draw the firepower."

Leng Ruoxue looked at Wei Qinfeng with resentment.

Wei Qinfeng had not yet caught up with Leng Ruoxue's pace and had not reacted.

"You mean... let us go fight the bandits, and then you arrange for people to secretly transport the food?"

Wei Qinzhong reacted.

"Yes"

Leng Ruoxue nodded.

"Cousin, I don't think your arrangement will work. Not to mention whether we can beat the bandits, you can't secretly transport these 1000 grain carts. If the scale is small, they will be robbed. If the scale is large, you can't hide it."

The four brothers had actually made a plan to transport military rations and were ready to discuss it with Leng Ruoxue, but they were led astray by Leng Ruoxue.

We all know that suppressing bandits is difficult.

Bandits usually live in the mountains, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, they have many spies and are difficult to guard against. It's not that we have never suppressed bandits before, but there are too many lessons from failures, which have made everyone realize that it's enough to just save face.

Occasionally, military rations would be robbed, and whoever encountered it would be unlucky.

But those unlucky escort officers had no background and it was difficult for them to mobilize local troops.

If the young master of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion came forward, he would not encounter such problems.

"So my plan is to not have the drivers, and the soldiers don't have to walk. This way, your speed on the road will be faster than the bandits can expect. You can attack the bandits while they are unprepared."

"You mean, if we let the soldiers drive the carriages, then we don't even need carriages. Wouldn't it be faster to just travel directly?"

Wei Qinhao felt that bringing a carriage was a bit redundant.

He likes to suppress bandits.

"Let's not discuss this issue for now, cousin. You know, there is a time limit for transporting military rations. It is definitely not as fast to transport so much military rations through civilian routes as it is through the military route. If you delay the delivery of military rations, you will be punished by the army."

Wei Qinfeng looked at Leng Ruoxue solemnly.

This cousin is still too young and knows too little.

"Don't worry about this, cousin. As long as you can arrive at the place I specify on time, there will be no problem with military rations. I just don't know if you dare to go and suppress the bandits?"

Leng Ruoxue's determined look silenced the four cousins.

Suppressing bandits is also a kind of military merit, so of course they thought about it.

Before I didn’t have soldiers, I just thought about it. Now that I have soldiers, why not give it a try?

"Dare, what is there to be afraid of?"

Wei Qinzhong was the first to agree.

He is the best in martial arts, so even if we can't win, there will be no problem for him to lead everyone away safely.

Leng Ruoxue looked at her other three cousins.

"no problem"

"Can"

"Um"

All answered in the affirmative.

"You can't rely on local troops to fight the bandits. If I'm not mistaken, the local troops may be able to communicate with the bandits."

"really"

Wei Qinfeng agreed with Leng Ruoxue's words.

"Besides, we can eat the spoils from the suppression of bandits ourselves. Maybe we can even make some money by transporting them back this time."

The four cousins ​​looked at Leng Ruoxue in surprise, so, their cousin meant that they were going to rob the bandits?

It doesn't seem to work either.

"Cousin, just tell me how to arrange it."

Wei Qinyu is ready to go.

"You take the Liaobei and Beihan roads, and then wait for us in Northwest Town. Northwest Town is half a day's journey from the border camp, and a round trip will take only one day. After receiving the military rations, we can deliver all the military rations to the Northwest military camp in three days at most."

"I'll have people take the Zhongshan and Beihuang roads and meet up with you in Xibei Town. We'll be a little slower than you on the road, so you can do whatever you want in these four bandit dens along the way. As long as you stay in each place for no more than two days, that's enough time."

"Of course, if time is insufficient, you can abandon the bandit spot behind and rush directly to Northwest Town. I will assign a telegraph operator to your team. If there is anything, we can contact each other by telegram. No matter which side we are on, we can support each other in three days at the latest."

"With so many carriages, even if we don't have to walk, we definitely won't have enough time. I think at most, we can attack two bandit dens."

Wei Qinhao roughly estimated the distance. If the team traveled light, the four bandit dens could be attacked, but if they brought a carriage, many roads would not be accessible, which would waste time.

"So, cousin, your team doesn't necessarily need to go together. You can let the carriages go one way and the people who are suppressing the bandits go another way. The carriages don't need to carry food anymore, they can pull carriages. You don't need so many soldiers driving the carriages. This way, your extra soldiers and horses can go to suppress the bandits first and then meet up with the carriages that arrive later."

Leng Ruoxue had a new idea.

If she hadn't needed the carriages to deliver food to the military camp in the end, she wouldn't have wanted to take these thousand carriages.

Otherwise it would be hard to say... wait, she has arranged for people to deliver military rations to the location, and the carriages can go back first, so... there is no need to arrange so many carriages to cover up.

"Cousin, you don't even need to bring several carriages, just ask my father for horses."
