When Chu Qing returned to Wangyuan City, he discovered that in less than a month, a road had been built in the north of the city, and a large number of motorcades were moving in and out unimpeded. Soldiers from Guoyi Camp were strolling back and forth like patrolling security guards.
There were more than 700 people in the wolf-catching army, exhausted on their horses. Before they entered the city, countless people suddenly poured out of the city. Like a flood opening, more and more people came out.
These people were very aggressive, and they all carried tools, including axes, shovels, iron drills, etc.
Lin Kui's expression changed drastically and he shouted loudly: "Be on guard, everyone be on guard!"
Freddy was obviously overthinking it. As soon as these excited-looking people ran out, they started shouting at the top of their lungs.
"What a injustice...Master Chu is back, this guy is back alive..."
"Quickly inform everyone that Mr. Chu is back alive..."
"Still alive, still alive..."
The common people were so excited that after running out, they did not stop in front of everyone, but stood on both sides, as happy as if they were about to enter the bridal chamber.
Chu Qing was confused.
Everyone also looked at each other.
As early as when Chu Qing entered the customs and placed the herdsmen in the military camp, someone had already returned to Wangyuan City to report the news, telling Tao Weiran and others that the wolf-catching army was back.
The troops who reported the news rode on horseback and shouted all the way, so many people heard the news, and they all came out to see it with their own eyes.
The unscrupulous people in Wangyuan City were very agitated and excited, whining and screaming.
Chu Qing didn't know what happened, but he was sure that these unscrupulous people were not trying to kill him, so he kept waving his hands.
Tao Shaozhang shouted: "Folks, thank you for your hard work."
Chu Qing cursed: "Don't steal my lines!"
Tao Weiran also rode out with a group of people. The friends who had stayed behind came, including Changxian, Lvzhu, Cuyu and others.
Chu Qing had no time to pay attention to them, he was just waving to the people and showing off his presence.
Tao Weiran rode a horse and came to Chu Qing, dumbfounded.
"Sir, why did you come back less than a month ago?"
"Uh..." Chu Qing was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to say that he was chasing the wrong person.
Nangong Ping looked at the cheerful Changxian and asked puzzledly: "Why are the people so excited?"
"They are afraid that Master Chu will die on the grassland and no one will pay them wages."
"Damn it!" Chu Qing cursed the unruly people, stopped waving, put his horse under his belly, and led everyone into the city.
The wolf-catching army escorted Chu Qing into the city, and the old soldiers took the new soldiers to the camp. Chu Qing, cursing and leading the men, quickly returned to the commander's house. Now he just wanted to take a bath and eat two roasted buns.
Lamb leg, and have a good sleep.
It is worth mentioning that before entering the city, Chu Qing asked Fu Jia Ersi and several bodyguards to rush back to the grassland pasture and inform Sheng Zhaojun and the bodyguards of the detailed situation.
After returning to the Marshal's Mansion, it was already noon and it was very busy. Pigs and sheep were being killed. Chu Qing was still on business. He sat behind the desk in the main hall and listened to Tao Weiran's work report.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. Now the Border Army Support Office has begun to connect with the six major battalions, counting rosters, counting years of military service, etc. Biangong City has started construction again, preparing to build more residential areas around the south and west of the city.
The east part of the city is the workshop industrial zone, and construction has been going on for more than ten days. The north part of the city is just preparing to build a road, which will directly connect to the Sixth Camp and the border pass.
After Tao Weiran finished reporting his work, Chu Qing squinted his eyes at Cuttlefish drinking tea.
"What are you pretending to be? Tell me, how far have you made the divine arm crossbow?"
Cuiyu smiled slightly: "All five hundred were handed over to the Xiaoqi camp."
Chu Qing had just asked, and the Xiaoqi battalion troops led by Xiao Zhi were the first batch to get the divine arm crossbows. If they want to join the divine grass department, they have some trump cards.
Chu Qing has already seen the power of the Divine Arm Crossbow. Although this thing is an individual weapon, the more people there are, the greater the power, especially in large-scale legion operations, it can sweep away a large area.
"Three thousand." Chu Qing held out three fingers: "I want three thousand. When can I build it, I will take it with me."
Cuttlefish frowned: "You still want to leave?"
"Yes, when I leave, I want to take away another three thousand divine arm crossbows."
Upon hearing this, Chang Xian quickly said: "Master Chu, just let General Lin and others come out of seclusion again. A gentleman will not stand in danger..."
Fortunately, Changxian did not bubble up foolishly and quickly changed his words: "There are many things going on in Wangyuan City, and Master Chu needs to take charge of the overall situation."
Tao Weiran also looked filled with emotion and echoed: "All the people in Tongcheng and Jinge Town came to Wangyuan City and recorded their national registrations. Now there are one hundred thousand people in Wangyuan City. Xunyang
"Dao, many people come here every day to get official positions..."
Even if he didn't want to admit it, Tao Weiran had to admit: "It's already a bit beyond our capabilities. Why don't you stay in Wangyuan City Chengzhong and take charge of the overall situation like His Highness said."
Although Tao Weiran is arrogant, reality is reality. Wangyuan City is being developed, and it also involves the border troops. Every day is full of endless tasks. Furthermore, Chu Qing has been taken away by many people. Tao Shaozhang
, Nangong Ping, Tong Gui, Xiao Yi, except for the two fools of the Fu family, can all take charge of themselves. These people all have the talent to govern the people. Now there are only two people around Fatty Tao who can use it, one is Changxian and the other is Luzhu, and they are not busy at all.
Come.
Chu Qing shook his head slightly: "Naolao Bideng, the Great Khan of the Golden Wolf King, may have colluded with Bing Tao, the Minister of War who is in charge of Nanguan."
Xiao Yi interjected: "Yes, he even got along with the great rebel King Wu."
Tao Shaozhang glanced at everyone: "No one said anything, so why don't I stop saying it?"
Xiao Yi: "What did you say?"
Tao Shaozhang: "He-pei, traitor."
Xiao Yi: “…”
Chu Qing said seriously: "So, I have to find a way to make the grassland a mess and prevent the Golden Wolf King Khan from gathering the troops of various tribes. Otherwise, once the Liang bandits come over, Bing Tao will take action.
At that time, Dachang will be facing enemies from both sides of the north and south."
Tao Weiran and Changxian already knew about this. They lowered their heads and didn't know what to say for a moment. They just felt that Chu Qing was not good at fighting. This kind of matter could be left to the professionals Lin Kui and the old soldiers.
"One more thing, the Shencao tribe is our people, the leader of the tribe, Sheng Zhaojun is the nail that my father put on the grassland, plus he has gathered some herdsmen, and the Falcon tribe, there is a chance that he will join Dachang. In this case
, we can gather about 50,000 troops."
Tao Weiran looked shocked: "Fifty thousand troops?"
"Almost."
"This..." Tao Weiran and Changxian looked at each other. Neither of them expected that Chu Qing could win over so many people during a trip.
If there are really 50,000 troops, not to mention hitting the depths of the grassland, at least the depth of the frontier army will be strengthened, and there will be no problem in clearing the periphery of the grassland.
Tan Ma ran in and said, "Sir, Commander Ma Rujing is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of laughter came from outside.
Ma Rujing walked in like a big crab with his hands behind his back. Before he crossed the threshold, he adjusted his expression and started to laugh at Chu Qing.
"Young boy from the Chu family, I thought you were a traitor to the generals. Hahahaha, you've only been here for less than a month and you've come back in despair. Let's see how much face you have to show off and brag in front of me."
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment: "Where are you from?"
"I was patrolling in the south of the city. I heard that the wolf-catching army was back, so I rushed over."
"You haven't met Xiao Zhi yet?"
Ma Rujing stopped laughing and felt bad: "No, Xiao Zhi... isn't Xiao Zhi outside the customs?"
This time it was Chu Qing's turn to smile, and then he looked at his friends: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Come on and laugh at him."
