Li Chengye used five years to defeat the Allied forces of Tubo and Huihe. Later, he cut off the Jiedu envoy of Longyou with the power of victory, and made Longyou completely under the rule of the imperial court.

Originally, Hexi Jiedu envoy was also killed, but he saw the opportunity quickly. He rode alone all night and fled back to Liangzhou base camp. After that, he naturally hated Li Chengye.

As the Li family's in laws, the Cheng family is naturally among the angry ones. Therefore, since Tubo captured Shanzhou and cut off the road to the west, the Cheng family has become very passive. Even Liangzhou can't get through, and the goods can only be overstocked.

Gu Qingshu's eyes brightened when he heard this sentence. During this period of time, his pressure is not small, but he has nothing to do. Now he's connected with the eldest childe, maybe he can find a chance to turn over for himself.

However, when talking about business, we can't expose the bottom line so quickly, "but your position in Wuwei army is not very high. How can you help us Cheng's goods store?"

Wei Ran smiled, "brother Li, since he is under the command of General Li, he has won the essence of the art of war. With his secret help, Wei wants to reach the level of being the only one in the army. What he owes is just a battle.

Some time ago, I followed brother Li's advice and made the first contribution to the attack and defense of Fenglin pass. Now the establishment of the dare to die camp has been expanded again. As long as there is a battle, a family will make the dare to die camp a standing elite, rather than a group of thieves waiting to die. Do you understand? "

The implication is that you don't have any other way to get ahead anyway, and I have expert help behind me. There is a great chance to get ahead. You might as well invest in me in advance if you want to bet. If I get out, you will naturally benefit.

Gu Qingshu still didn't let go so quickly. He just smiled and said, "there was a rebellion in Henan Province. I naturally believe in the ability of my eldest childe. It's just that some things can only be decided after meeting the eldest childe. "

In the final analysis, I still don't believe the officer Wei Ran is currently playing.

Wei Ran knocked on the tea table, "well, since you must see the eldest childe, someone will send a letter to you later today. Do you have the Tao Te Ching?"

Gu Qingshu nodded, but he didn't know what the other party said.

"The contents of the letter are recorded in the way of Yin Fu Sutra, which ordinary people can't understand. You have to use the Tao Te Ching to decipher it, okay? "

Speaking of Yin Fu Sutra, Gu Qing understood the meaning of it when he wrote, "save it, brother Wei, will you leave now?"

"Well, in addition to looking for brother Li, I have to go back to camp to practice."

After Wei Ran left the workshop, he made several rounds, looked for a paper pen, wrote a password according to the page number and lines of the Tao Te Ching, and generally wrote a piece of paper. The main idea of the content is to meet Gu Qingshu at an abandoned temple in the south of the suburb in the evening.

The contents of the paper are numbers. According to the rules of page number and column, borrow the corresponding words on the Tao Te Ching, a simple password document.

Then in the evening, a beggar handed the letter to Cheng's paper mill.

Later, taking advantage of his privilege as an officer, he left the Barracks at night and came to the agreed broken temple in advance. He put away his bone shrinking skill and changed back to his original appearance, waiting for Gu Qingshu to arrive.

Gu Qingshu is very punctual. He comes out alone with a lantern. Fortunately, he knows some Kung Fu and wears a sword with him. He is not afraid of the sneak attack of wild animals at night.

After Gu Qingshu appeared, Wei Ran didn't hurry out. Instead, he hung him up and looked around quietly to make sure Gu Qingshu didn't bring others, so he came out at ease.

Gu Qingshu had seen Wei Ran before. He was pleasantly surprised and came out to say hello.

After some discussion, Wei Ran told him part of his plan, but didn't say that he intended to become a local vassal town.

Gu Qingshu's attitude towards Wei Ran is completely different from that of the ordinary officer he pretends to be. He seems to be very confident and has no other twists and turns.

The two sides soon reached an agreement. Wei Ran now needs early support to improve the strength of the army. Gu Qingshu needs to open up business routes to get rid of the current dilemma, and he trusts Wei ran very much.

So they hit it off. Wei Ran needed Gu Qingshu to provide more meat to his dare to die camp to boost morale and train the army.

Gu Qingshu can make up his mind about this. The Cheng family also has their own grassland here, with plenty of cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs.

In addition, the Cheng family is good at exploiting ignorant Hu herdsmen and can always buy many cattle and sheep at a low price, so there is no shortage of meat supply channels.

Gu Qingshu also indicated that relevant cooperation matters would be conveyed to Cheng Mu in the future, so that Cheng Mu could coordinate more resources to support Wei Ran's cause.

Wei Ran remembered that when Li Chengye had just started his career, he did not get less early investment from the Cheng family, which was very helpful. With this lesson, I may not increase more resources to help myself. I readily agree.

The next day, the camp received a batch of pickled meat. When Wei Ran saw it, he naturally increased the training intensity. Before, the army had only wheat flour, coarse grains and pickles. Although the quantity was enough, it still lacked enough protein nutrition.

The army can't do very intensive training, so it can only practice marching in line, but it can't do anything about the various tactics often practiced by the Zuo Shence army.

Now that there was enough meat to eat, Wei Ran began to apply the set of Zuo Shence army, such as pure array, flower array, long gun against horse, stranger knife counter attack, knife and shield breaking! There are even hundreds of miles of light attack, night attack, company camp, siege simulation.

He even invited cavalry to assist in training, let cavalry simulate the attack, and exercise the army's psychological ability to face the impact of cavalry.

At the beginning, more than half of the people in the army would show panic and couldn't help retreating.

Then they punished those who couldn't stand the army, practiced more, and could only drink soup and watch others eat meat.

With such punishment and encouragement, soon the whole army will not be afraid of the cavalry charge. Unexpectedly, some people dare to attack with spears, which in turn frightens the mischievous cavalry to speed up and slow down.

Wei Ran's dare to die camp became more and more vigorous under the encouragement of sufficient food and Wei Ran's strict and exemplary training.

Even those cowards who came from more than 400 regiment training have become more and more courageous under such strict training and encouragement.

The situation of the dare to die camp naturally attracted the attention of others. Jealous people complained to Zhao Xuanqing that Wei Ran's dare to die camp had enough meat every day, and there must be a problem with the origin of the money.

Zhao Xuanqing's attitude was very interesting. He only asked the other party, "have you ever seen a business complaint?"

Cheng's goods company is voluntary. How can it complain? The complainant is naturally speechless.

Then, dissatisfied, he turned back and sent the meat to Cheng's house. The school captain thought that Wei Ran's meat came from a wrong way and should be obtained by extortion. It seemed that the goods store was easy to bully, so he also wanted to extort some money.

Naturally, Gu Qingshu refused. As a result, the next day, Cheng's goods store was smashed by the school captain.

Wei Ran didn't see the meat delivery man from the Cheng family, so he sent someone to ask. Finally, he learned the truth and was angry on the spot.

Normally, this kind of thing must be poked to the superior first, and then let the superior deal with it.

But the army is a different place. When something happens, the first thing to talk about is that we can't be counselled. Even if the soldiers in the army get into trouble outside, whether right or wrong, the other party just needs to do it. The soldiers can't be counselled even if they are at a disadvantage. They must resolutely fight back, otherwise they won't have a foothold in the army in the future.

The army of the Tang Dynasty always stresses strength first and then reason. It's impossible to be polite before the soldiers like those Confucian officials.
