Due to the power of the Dongping Prefecture, these rich families had to take out some cabbage, radish, oats, soybeans, barley and other supplies to the army. They didn't expect to get the money, but they didn't expect to get the money smoothly, and it was almost the same as the market price, which means that there was more or less profit. Now the rich families were very happy and they sold whatever the army needed.

In the evening, in the military camp of Wanlong Town, the huge camp was in order, with hundreds of rangers traveling back and forth across the periphery, and be careful. The distance between the tents and tents in the camp was very wide, and the fire ditch and firewall were built quite well.

The soldiers in the military camp were sitting around in front of the campfire for dinner. The huge hanging pot was full of waves, and the horse meat was fragrant. Star anise, large ingredients, and pepper stewed horse meat was very delicious.

Stewed with cabbage with horse meat and steamed buns with white flour can be eaten vigorously. If you can eat two bowls, you will never let you eat one bowl.

A soldier took a large piece of horse meat into the bowl, which tasted hot.

Wu Song and Luo Ping accompanied Zong Feng to inspect the military camp of Dongping Prefecture. This Feng was the son of Xiao Zhong Gong, a general of 20,000 mountain soldiers. He was a powerful and powerful man. He was a real powerful man in the northwest. Wu Song's Tongda Big Cars Store wanted to gain a foothold in the northwest, at least he could not get into the relationship with the Zong family.

Zhong Feng said: "Wudujian, your military food is a bit too wasteful. Eating horse meat every day is too luxurious."

Wu Song smiled and said, "General Zhong misunderstood. Although he ate horse meat every day, he did not eat meat from the horses he killed. Instead, the Xixia war horses he killed when he fought with the Xixia cavalry a few days ago. If he threw them away, he would naturally have to eat them."

Zhong Feng said: "Wudujian has never lived a poor life. Even such horse meat cannot be eaten like this. Instead, it is smoked into jerky horse meat, which can be preserved for several months and eaten slowly."

Wu Song said: "If you want the soldiers to be like a wolf, you have to give them meat, but you really can't eat so much, so you can save it even if you make it into bacon."

Further in the middle are the newly recruited 5,000 new recruits and 25,000 miners. Although these people are much stronger than the previous few days, the torture of the years has not recovered so quickly.

Zhong Feng said: "The soldiers from Wudujian are good, but they still need to be strengthened. Why is this team of soldiers so casual?"

It turned out that Wu Song brought Zhong Feng to Li Kui's camp, and more than 2,000 people were eating and drinking.

Bao Xu was displeased when he heard this, and came over and said, "Brother, who is this person?"

Wu Song said: "This is General Zong sent by the Grand Marshal to pick up our support."

Bao Xu said: "Oh, look at the fact that the personal soldiers behind the general are good and have the strength. Can you let me discuss with them?"

The one behind Zhong Feng was not a personal soldier. Like the people around Wu Song, they were all at the level of deputy generals, not ordinary soldiers. Hearing that Bao Xu was so rude, he said, "Want to give it a try?"

Wu Song didn't say anything, looked at Zhong Feng, and Zhong Feng said, "There is no entertainment in the army, so let them try it."

As soon as the two of them took off their armor, they started to compete on the spot. Bao Xu, a bandit, was not a good person himself. He followed Li Kui to fight and kill Ruma. His fists and feet were very cruel. He fought with Zhong Feng's bodyguard for dozens of rounds and finally got him to the ground.

Wu Song said: "Bao Xu, retreat, don't hurt the harmony."

Zhong Feng said: "Wu Dujian is joking. Soldiers rely on blood to kill enemies on the battlefield. Without blood, they are still soldiers. I took back what I said just now. Although this battalion soldiers look casual, they are not afraid of death and are elite soldiers. I have something to discuss with the Dujian, and please take a step to speak."

Wu Song and Zhong Feng chatted while walking, and Zhong Feng said: "I have heard about this incident. Wu Dujian has made a lot of money. The Northwest Army lacks horses, and the Yan'an Prefecture Army lacks horses. Wu Dujian will be convenient for selling some horses to us, and the price is easy to say."

There are only 30,000 horses in total, and it is impossible to keep them all, but you have to be sure who they sell to and who they don’t.

Wu Song said: "If I expected it was good, Tong Shuai also wanted some horses. As part of the Northwest Army, can't Yan'an Prefecture Army get some horses?"

Zhong Feng shook his head: "It turns out that my uncle was the commander of the Northwest Army. At that time, the entire Northwest region had dominated the family. By my father's generation had begun to decline. In order to balance, the court divided the Northwest Army into three factions. Tong Shuai was not bad for each company, but he would not let the whole family dominate. The commander's direct cavalry wanted to expand his army, so he would definitely ask you to buy horses this time. But our Yan'an Prefecture Army also needs horses. You can see how much it can be sold, and the price is not a problem."

Wu Song's mind was fighting against heaven and man. The Zhong family was a great hero in the northwest. It would be impossible to make a good relationship, but it is difficult to be sure that one day it will not become an enemy.

Wu Song said: "Okay, General Zhong, you know, Tong Shuai represents the court, and my Dongping Prefecture Army is also under his jurisdiction, so the main horses are under Tong Shuai's dispatch. I will divide you three thousand horses, how about it?"

Zhong Feng's heart was beating, three thousand horses, and the Yan'an Prefecture Army had only two thousand cavalry in total, just like treasures. Infantry not cannot defeat the cavalry, but the cavalry was too flexible. If the cavalry wanted to leave, the infantry would definitely not be able to catch up, so the cavalry was still very wide.

"Okay, okay, how do you say the price?"

"The market price of good horses in Xixia in Yan'an Prefecture is 60, and the stocks are hundreds of taels. How about I give you 40 taels per horse?" Wu Song said.

Zhong Feng was in a difficult situation. The Zhong family has been running the northwest for generations, and they still have money, but the Zhong family does not plunder the people, the official reputation is good, and the money in their hands is not rich.

"It's high, it's high, thirty taels of silver." said Zhong Feng.

Wu Song said: "General Zhong must feel that I have asked for a high price. Come and see me."

Wu Song took Zhong Feng to the side of the carriage wrapped in canvas. There were black boxes on it, which were very terrifying.

"This is the relics of the soldiers who died in battle. They were taken back to make a tomb for their families. The soldiers' pensions are a large expense. The soldiers' families still need a considerable expense in the later stages, and the children need to be supported until they are adults."

Zhong Feng nodded, expressing his understanding. If you want a soldier to be like a wolf, you have to feed the soldiers meat. How can a living soldier who has not paid enough money to fight with peace of mind.

I came to the injured barracks again. I won’t mention the minor injuries. Most of them can return to their posts. However, there are still many seriously injured soldiers, with few broken arms and blindness. They cannot return to their posts. The only place to go is to go home.

Wu Song said: "They were also affected when they returned to their hometown to farm. In addition to the pension of dozens of taels, there were subsidies every month, which could not make the soldiers bleed or cry. General Zhong, are you right?

Zhong Feng said: "On the way I came, I was still wondering why your army has such a high combat power. Now I understand that the soldiers have no worries and everyone is fighting hard. How can they not win? Well, just follow the price of Wudujian."
