Chapter 487: Ambush on the Road
When Cheng Yanan heard that Su Qin was coming, he hurried to the gate of the military camp, took off the horse tied outside, and led it into the camp.
Su Qin and him walked side by side, looking around in the camp while walking. Seeing that there were rules everywhere, they were very satisfied. Sure enough, professional matters had to be left to professionals. Huzhou was so messy that there was no way to make any arrangements, and it was not until now that they understood them.
"You go home to find me in the afternoon, but what's wrong?"
Cheng Yanan nodded and took her to the main tent, "Mr. Tao went to the nearby county town, sent our recruitment notice, and brought back the first batch of soldiers. I have already settled all of them. In addition, these military tents were made by Master Tao. Many nearby people came to help us organize the camps and sent some food to me. I asked someone to give money according to the market price. In addition..."
Cheng Yanan took out a piece of paper folded together from his arms, "Today, the merchants and wealthy families in Qifu County sent people to send money to express their feelings to the Su family army. I accepted it and kept the account."
Su Qin took it over and took a look. Fenglailou and Lu family both gave 10,000 taels. Behind were other wealthy families in the county, which gave varied numbers, but the total was quite considerable.
Su Qin was very happy. It was not because she received so much money, but because she didn't expect that the people in Qifu County were so friendly to the Su family army and were much better than those in Huzhou.
But it is not surprising to think about it. The people of Qifu County were led by the bandits brought about by the Dog Emperor to destroy their families. Almost every household died at the hands of the so-called bandits, or died because of this incident.
Therefore, the people in Qifu County and several nearby counties all hated the Dog Emperor to the core.
Now there is an army that is specifically against the imperial court. Even if they have no intention of joining the army, they will support this army in their own way.
What made Su Qin even happier was the enthusiasm of the magistrate Tao. After comparing the magistrate of Huzhou Chengna, we knew how rare it was for a good official like Tao.
Turning to look at Cheng Yan'an, Su Qin nodded in admiration: "You have arranged this place very well, and there are food matters. The Su family army is never allowed to take advantage of the people by one needle. This article must be written into the military law of our Su family army. However, if those wealthy families come to give the Su family army silver, they will be able to keep the account."
Those rich families pay more of protection than support. After all, they are very wealthy and are easily targeted by some unqualified army. If they spend money to buy peace, if they don’t collect it, they are afraid that they will not sleep well at night.
Cheng Yanan also knew this reason well, so he took the money and took Su Qin to the main tent, opened the curtain, and let Su Qin go in first.
The main account is quite spacious, with at least twenty square meters, but the things inside have not been fully purchased yet.
"Although you may be in the village most of the time, the main account is not only to give the commander a rest, but also to gather the morale of the army. So I asked someone to get the main account up first."
Su Qin turned to look at him: "No, I will stay in the military camp in the future. Since I am the head coach, I must stay in the army to stabilize the morale of the army."
The army in Huzhou was pulled by Su Jiu, and Su Jiu did a good job and always emphasized her position as the head coach. In addition, the competition between her and the Qianhu family made everyone know her strength. With the mysterious and very substantial organization of Lingyao Valley, Su Qin would not affect anything even if she did not show up.
But Su Qin didn't want to do this all the time.
Since she has recruited all these people into her army, she should also take on the responsibility of the commander of the first army.
Cheng Yanan expressed support for her decision, so he asked someone to drive out what he needed in the main account overnight.
Su Qin went around the military camp. The camp was very large. Although the Su family army currently has less than 4,000 people, the area enclosed is enough to move tens of thousands of people.
After all, the Su family army has just started, and there will be more and more people in the future. Of course, the bigger the place, the better.
Cheng Yanan looked outside the camp, "The place is still not enough. It is too close to the farmland, so it is difficult to occupy the fields."
Su Qin smiled faintly: "Then rent these fields and return them to the Su family army after they set off."
There are many mountains and hills in Qifu County, and the area next to the county town is relatively flat and suitable for training. Fortunately, the crops in the fields have just been harvested and the next season has not yet sowed, so it will not ruin anything.
Cheng Yanan nodded, "Then I'll find someone to do it tomorrow. Do you want to go back to the village tonight?"
"I want to go back, Zhouzhou and Yueyue are waiting for me at home."
Cheng Yanan said: "Then I'll give it to you."
Su Qin refused, "No, I just need to call my brother to go back together."
Cheng Yanan said, "I need to explain some things to you in detail, just as I will go back to get the clothes I have to change."
Now Su Qin had no reason, so she had to let him go.
Called Su Min, and the three of them rode their horses to Xiaohe Village. Halfway through the journey, Cheng Yanan suddenly raised his ears, and Su Qin also noticed something was wrong at the same time.
"careful."
"There is an ambush!"
The two of them spoke to remind each other at the same time.
Su Min looked around blankly. What happened?
Su Qin narrowed her eyes and released a trace of spiritual power. Soon the people who were hiding in the dark and preparing to ambush them were locked in her position.
There were many people coming, hundreds of people, and they were all holding bows and arrows.
Before Su Qin could remind him, the other party launched a long attack and smashed the three of them like raindrops.
Cheng Yanan pulled out the long sword hanging around his waist and swung it quickly, shooting down all the arrows that were shot. Su Qin used the same method to guard the other side. Su Min had the worst kung fu and was firmly protected by the two of them.
The other party fired an arrow for a while, and saw that the attack was ineffective, he immediately changed his strategy and appeared from the secret, surrounding the three of them.
There was no moon tonight, and the light was very dark around it. The other party was wearing black clothes and blended with the night. Most people couldn't see their figures clearly.
But Su Qin and Cheng Yanan could see them clearly.
"One person is responsible for one side. Brother, just stand here and don't move, don't move at once."
Before Su Min could react, Su Qin and Cheng Yanan flew out of the horse and fought with the men in black.
Su Min sat on the back of the horse, listening to the sound of swords and swords connected, so anxious that he didn't know what to do. He wanted to help, but he knew his weight. He didn't rush up to make trouble without overestimating his own ability, but slid down from the horse's back and stood between the two horses, allowing the horse to cover himself.
This is not about being timid and afraid of death, but about not allowing Su Qin and the others to distract themselves from taking care of him.
But he didn't know that the moment Su Qin flew away from the horse's back, a barrier immediately covered him and three horses. The reason why Su Qin told him not to move was because he was afraid that he would lose the filling when he bumped into the barrier.
