Xie Zhen shook the bloody steel fork in his hand in the woods and cursed: "This group of horse thieves are too cowardly. They are scared away after losing a hundred people. If we clean the battlefield, we should go back to the camp."

In this battle, Jie Zhen performed the jungle war very well. The horse thieves were killed by various traps and various hidden arrows without seeing any enemy. The harvest was quite good, with more than one hundred horses and thousands of taels of gold and silver.

Back at the Sixty-Li Fortress, Xie Zhen came to the camp to report the battle situation. Wu Song and others were very happy. Liu Changfeng said: "Deputy General Jie has extraordinary skills. Killing a hundred horse thieves will not lose any of them. It is admirable."

Xie Zhen said: "It is all based on the general's training combat methods and the brothers' lives that have achieved such results."

Wu Song said: "Neither cavalry nor infantry is left behind. How about the deputy general Xie is independent from the cavalry battalion? "

Xie Zhen said: "Everything depends on the arrangements of my brother, but I feel that my ability is very simple and I have no experience in leading troops independently."

Wu Song pulled the map and said, "This is the Sixty-Li Fortress, this is the Tianshui River. Our territory is about 200 miles from east to west, and there are also 1560 miles from north to south. The land area is vast and there are many oasis. Next year, agriculture will develop and feed 300,000 people. Pang Wanchun is a cavalry in the Tianshui River Basin, and Liu Changfeng is a cavalry in the Sixty-Li Fortress, so we still need an infantry to consolidate the Sixty-Li Fortress. It is not easy to form an infantry battalion. In order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, we can only divide 100 people for you. The rest must be recruited separately. Jie Zhen, do you have confidence?"

Xie Zhen said: "Xie Zhen will definitely live up to his brother's hope."

Wu Song solved the problem of Liushili Fort at an extremely fast speed. Not only did both sides not take any action, but he also took over generals like Liu Changfeng, but also important post stations on the Silk Road like Liushili Fort.

The Yuchi family did not expect that the problem of Wu Song was solved so quickly. They arranged for the caravan to send the 20,000 taels of silver agreed in the contract. Wu Song only collected 10,000 taels of silver, and the other 10,000 taels of silver was entrusted to the Yuchi family to purchase 10,000 taels of silver from Lanzhou Prefecture. The Liushili Fort was only 150,600 miles away from Lanzhou Prefecture. The transport of horse-drawn carriages was very convenient, and they could reach Liushili Fort in two days. The Yuchi family's work efficiency was very high. They purchased 700,000 kilograms of sorghum from Lanzhou Prefecture near the border. The price of grain in Lanzhou was similar to that in Shandong. So much grain transportation and export land was also a big problem. Grain is strategic materials, and too much is easy to attract attention. However, the ability of the Yuchi family's caravan was not built, so they were unblocked and transported the grain to Liushili Fort.

Liu Changfeng was very surprised when so much grain was piled up in the headquarters of Liushilibao and asked Xie Zhen: "How could my brother buy so much grain? We have eaten for several years with more than a thousand people."

Xie Zhen said: "I've just arrived. I'll reclaim the military farm and grazing next year. There's more food needed to build the Sixth Libao New City."

At this time, Wu Song, Luo Ping, Jiao Ting, Yu Baosi, and fifty cavalry were walking on the vast Gobi Desert. In order to cherish the horse's strength, they just walked slowly. More than a dozen camels carried water and horse essence as logistics. They got up early and set off from the Sixty-Li Li Fort, and in the evening, they had reached the edge of the desert, and then reached the border more than ten miles ahead.

The guide said: "Boss, it's not too early, it's time to rest. If you walk forward, you will reach the grassland, which is not safe."

When marching in the desert and Gobi, you cannot show off your strength. No matter how you are, you are prone to fatigue. It is not too early, so it is time to rest.

"Okay, find a place to camp." Wu Song said.

The guide who led the camel team said, "Let's camp beside the poplar forest in front of us. First, camels and horses can eat some poplar leaves to satisfy their hunger, and second, prepare some dry firewood to burn the fire."

"Okay, just do as you said." Wu Song said.

Immediately, a large group of people stationed beside a small poplar forest. There were ten simple tents. Luo Ping brought people to load sandbags and repair sandbag walls. As a simple barrier to the camp, the sandbag wall was built very quickly. There were not many other things in the desert, but there was a lot of sand. In a minute, it became a low wall. Then, piled piles on the outer sand and pulled several wires with barbed wire. Don’t underestimate these wires. At night, the cavalry could not see clearly that the horses came into being either dead or injured.

The guide was stunned to see what the main cart is, how could it be more professional than the army?

The guide took the camel caravan to cut off a few withered poplars to burn fire to keep warm. The nights in the desert and Gobi are very cold, and there must be enough fire to keep warm and resist wild animals.

Jiao Ting led the horses to the riverside a few miles away to drink water. Yu Baosi, the big man, said: "Why didn't the guide ask us to camp at the waterside? Isn't it very convenient to get water and drink water like that? It's so hard now that it's several miles away from the waterside."

Luo Ping said: "It turns out that there are people who are stupider than me. The water in the desert is precious. They build waste water by the water, and even dirty the water. What do people drink when they pass by in the future?"

Wu Song said: "Luo Ping is only half right. Whether it is the grassland or the desert, these places with relatively little water are places where all kinds of wild beasts gather. The beasts come back to hunt by the water, tiger, wolf, leopard, etc. Although we are not afraid of such beasts, it would be bad if any soldier accidentally was injured by the wild beast. So we must keep a certain distance from the water."

The sun sets in the long river, and the smoke in the desert is straight. A setting sun finally slowly fell. Various delicious food was carried on the bonfire. Some of the soldiers who had been tired for a day had fallen asleep in their tents, while others were still singing softly.

As the night came, the quiet night was silent, except for the crackling sound of the bonfire. The sentry on the night side widened their eyes in the dark, and suddenly the two hunting dogs in the team barked at the top of their voices.

Wu Song came outside the tent with a knife and asked the sentry: "What's going on."

The sentry said: "It's a bit far away and can't see clearly. It should be a wild beast."

Sure enough, a few minutes later, a shrill howling wolf howls sounded, and dozens of wolves came over. The group of wolves came to hunt. When drinking water by the water, they smelled the smell of horses and camels, and wanted to come over to fight the autumn wind.

The guide also came over and said, "What these wolves want to eat, give them one or two horses and they will leave."

Wu Song said: "Tongda Big Cars Store never surrenders or surrenders, even Xiang Lang, Luo Ping, warn them that if we don't leave within a quarter of an hour, we will start a massacre."

"Okay." The guide saw Wu Song's coldness and dared not say much. Of course, he couldn't understand why Wu Song was so tough.

Perhaps these wolves were hungry, and they sat down and howled back and forth more than a hundred meters away. It was so annoying that everyone was not allowed to rest.

Wu Song said: "No, I can't let them go. Who would be willing to go out and drive the wolves away?"
