Chapter 1177

Huangfu Chaobo didn't care much about the war in the East. Now his attention has been focused on Hedong. When he visited tianjingguan, he received the information from Hedong, which was transferred from Luoyang: Hedong has found a suspected ancient road of Qin state. Although it has been hidden in the vast mountains, it can see the traces of the ancient road of Qin Now Hedong has begun to secretly send people to explore the east along the ancient road.

This news gave Huangfu Chaobo a boost, and immediately sent people to Hedong to continue to explore and keep secret. At the same time, he ordered the Tiebi camp to escort Guo Jia to Hedong and join him. He planned to go to Hedong as soon as possible after inspecting the situation in Hanoi. It is estimated that by the time Guo Jia and others arrived at Hedong, they would have arrived and joined them.

Sure enough, when Huangfu Chaobo and his party went to Jiguan and entered Hedong, Guo Jia, under the protection of Dianwei and tiebiying, also arrived at Maojin. After landing in Maojin, they went directly to Dayang, crossed Zhongtiao mountains and arrived at Anyi, Hedong's governing post.

In the north of Anyi City, on the South Bank of Sushui River, in Yingyang army camp, Huangfu Chaobo and general Anyi Tian Yu, the commander of Yingyang camp, visited the newly recruited crossbow soldiers. Looking at the 5000 crossbow soldiers, Huangfu Chaobo nodded with satisfaction and said, "general Tian, what's the combat power of the 5000 crossbow soldiers now?"

"Back to the king, the five thousand crossbow soldiers were carefully selected by Wei Chen from the whole Hedong. Except for the one thousand elite crossbow soldiers in each school, the rest of the elite crossbow soldiers who met the conditions for the transfer of crossbow soldiers were selected into this school. Now all the five thousand crossbow soldiers are in place. Only when a stone of rhubarb crossbow is in place can they be trained." Tian Yu replied;

"when will it take to get all the crossbows to Hedong?"

"According to the news from Luoyang, all the rhubarb crossbows have been sold. It is estimated that it will take another one to two months to put all the five thousand crossbows in place, so now we can only use ordinary rhubarb crossbows."

When Huangfu Chaobo heard about it, he was not in a hurry to know about it, because at the time of the ceremony, he sold a large number of crossbow machines to several allies. In addition, he bought a lot of night incense from Langya. As a result, all the big yellow crossbows in Luoyang's arsenal were wiped out. At that time, he did not expect to set up a school of 5000 crossbow soldiers.

Because the crossbow machine is not like other weapons and equipment, other preparations such as ring head knife, spear and other equipment, each soldier and horse usually have a sufficient number of spare equipment stored there, but in general, only some parts of the crossbow machine are damaged, so the bowstring and machine frame and other small parts only need to be replaced, and each soldier and horse has a large number of bows However, the spare number of the whole crossbow machine in each unit is only about 20% of that of the crossbow soldiers, which is used to replace the normal wear and tear of the troops.

According to the requirements of the weapons and equipment of the crossbow soldiers, if you want to build a 5000 person crossbow army this time, you need at least 6000 one stone rhubarb crossbows. How can Luoyang's arsenal provide so many crossbows at once? Fortunately, there are many non-standard one stone and two stone rhubarb crossbows in the weapon workshops, which were originally sold to other forces and ordinary players Yes, this time it was just given to Tian Yu's Crossbow soldiers for training.

As they were saying this, a soldier from the prefect's mansion came to report: "I'm telling you that the general of the military guards escorted Guo's Army division has already arrived outside the camp and asked to see him outside the camp!"

On hearing this, Huangfu said: "evil and filial piety are here? At the same time, I've finished my inspection. Let's go back to Anyi City, and we'll discuss it then... "

With that, he turned his head and walked out of the camp. Now the war in Xuzhou is over, and Huangfu Chaobo doesn't care that the spies from other countries can get his own whereabouts, so he just showed up in the public's sight. Today, tieyingrui and Yuanrong crossbow soldiers are still choosing suitable soldiers in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, while huyandu leads hundreds of guards to Yanbei county. There is no way. Tujia can only use Wuhuan people or Xianbei people, so he can only go to Yanbei county to choose suitable soldiers.

When the party arrived at the gate of the camp, Dian Wei, Guo Jia and Shi a had already been waiting outside. When they saw Huangfu Chaobo leading people out, they quickly came forward to salute: "I'll wait to see the king!"

"No! You Aiqing have been working hard all the way. Let's go back to the city first. Let's talk about other things later! "

"I respect you Several people were busy;

the group returned to Anyi city under the escort of thousands of soldiers. When they returned to the city, Huangfu Chaobo arranged Guo Jia and his party to have a rest for one night, until the next day they gathered people for discussion.

Among the officials of the Tang Dynasty, only a few people know about the ancient road of the Qin state. Zhao Yun and his prefect are Yi in Wei County, Tian Yu in Hanoi, Yang Feng and Zhang Chao in Hanoi. Among the others are Gao Shun, Pang Tong, Guo Jia and Shi ah.

After Guo Jia was given a day's rest, Huangfu Chaobo gathered people in a small hall of Hanoi prefect's mansion to discuss the matter. After all the people sat down, Huangfu Chaobo said to Tian Yu, "general Tian, tell me about your investigation."

Although Huangfu Chaobo arrived in Hedong a few days earlier than Guo Jia, he did not have time to find Tian Yu to know the details of the ancient road. In the daytime, because of the numerous people, he did not ask about it in front of the public."No!" Then he went to the map of Hedong Bingzhou in the middle of the small hall and explained to Huangfu Chaobo the exploration of the ancient road by the personnel he secretly arranged during this period of time.

According to him, the dispatched personnel did find several suspected Qin ancient roads in the mountains at the northern foot of Wangwu mountain to the east of DuanShi county. The reason for this is that although these places are the entrances of several valleys, they are different from the entrances of other valleys. The terrain of these valleys has obvious traces of population excavation, and there are also several Valley entrances The tree age of the road is much smaller than that of the common Valley pass mountain road.

In addition, many of the troops in Hedong and the county soldiers in the cities in Hedong are Baibo and Huangjin soldiers. Tian Yu asked Yang Feng to select some reliable soldiers from them after getting the order of Huangfu Chaobo. Tian Yu also asked some old soldiers in Baibo army carefully. It is true that some people found traces of roads in Huoda mountain.

Looking at the positions Tian Yu pointed out on the map, Huangfu Chaobo found that Duanshi County, which Tian Yu said, was just to the west of Peishi County in Shangdang county. If Tian Yu said several valleys and valleys were right, it was just in line with the route of Qin army marching from Hedong to Peishi (that is, Changping).
