Chapter 183 Preparation

It took only three days to rectify the troops, but Zhu Song asked Zhu An to set off again in three days.

On the one hand, it is unlikely that Yunzhou can be defended, and the 20,000 Jianwei army's troops will not play a big role, and no matter when they go, they will not be able to change the defeat.

No matter what, Zhu An is his son, and he doesn't want to see Zhu An die on the battlefield, or he will never turn around because of his defeat.

If Yunzhou had been lost before Zhu An arrived, then Zhu An at least would not have to participate in the war, and would neither die in battle nor be defeated.

On the other hand, Zhu Song wanted to see if Yu Hao could arrive within these three days.

Yu Hao had shown outstanding talent in leading troops before, and he might have a way to defeat the barbarians.

Now I just hope that the Yunzhou army of King Pingnan can last longer.

At this time, all the civil and military officials had left the Hall of Supreme Harmony one after another. Zhu An knelt on the ground, clenched his fists, and his eyes were red.

At this moment, Chang Tian came over and bowed and said, "Third Prince, let's hurry up and go to the Jianwei Army camp to rectify the troops and prepare to set off!"

Although Chang Tian has never been to the battlefield since he became an official, Chang Tian was not surprised that Zhu Song ordered him to go to war with Zhu An as the military supervisor.

He could see that the emperor still cared about the third prince Zhu An. Now that the fourth prince is dead, only the crown prince and the third prince are left in the court.

In order to check and balance the power of the prince, the emperor seemed to intend to bring him closer to the third prince.

To put it bluntly, the emperor just wants him to become the third prince Zhu An!

Although he was not optimistic about Zhu An, since it was the emperor's arrangement, he could only abide by it.

It seems like supporting Yunzhou, which seems to be an impossible task, but he will do his best.

Zhu An wiped his tears and said, "It's a trouble for Lord Chang to rectify the military and horse affairs. I have something to do, so let's take a step first!"

As he said that, Zhu An left the Hall of Supreme Harmony without looking back.

Looking at Zhu An's back, Chang Tian stood there blankly. Is there anything more important than rectifying the troops?

After a while, Chang Tian shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Zhu An walked straight out of the palace and headed straight to Haoyue Manor outside Wudu City.

If the emperor sent him the Zhenguan Army, he would have some confidence to defeat the barbarians, but now he only has 20,000 new recruits, so he would never be an opponent of the barbarians.

If you just go to Yunzhou like this, there is no difference between seeking death!

Now he can only place all his hopes on Hao. He wants to go to Haoyue Manor and Yu Hao comes back!

...

At the same time, upon learning about the barbarian invasion, the daily training volume of the bodyguards in Haoyue Manor doubled.

Li Shihan and Han Bing also drew a large number of stooges from the surrounding towns to return to Haoyue Manor.

On the wall, Li Shihan looked at the bodyguards training in the square, and her eyes couldn't help but feel a hint of melancholy.

Li Shihan knew very well that the south is in a hurry now, and with Yu Hao's temper, he would never sit idly by. Yu Hao might be on the way back to Wudu City at this time.

All she had to do was to help Yu Hao prepare everything before Yu Hao came back.

"Master Li, according to your order, the nearby corpses have basically been transferred back. Now, in addition to the corpses who are responsible for the manor guarding, there are 1,500 corpses on standby at any time." Han Bing bowed his hand.

Said.

After this period of development, the manor has more than 2,500 registered bodyguards!

In addition to the men taken away by Yu Hao and Wangcai, the Han soldiers could only draw out one thousand five hundred more people.

After all, both the manor and the Haoyue store in other towns need bodyguards to defend and deliver goods.

Li Shihan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Han, by the way, how is the purchase of war horses going?"

Hearing this, Han Bing scratched his head with shame and said, "Master, war horses are working hard, but I have used all my relationships and only bought more than 800 horses, plus there are only ones in the manor. Nine hundred, a lot shorter.”

"Work harder. Before the Lord comes back, you must ask every escort to match the war horse. Money is not a problem. Use up the money you earned from selling Long Xueli. If it is not enough, come to me." Li Shihan Said seriously.

According to Yu Hao's request, Long Xueli did not sell it as soon as possible after transporting it back from Tianli Village. Instead, he took out a small part and put it in the private room of the auction house for the VIPs participating in the auction to taste.

After tasting Long Xueli, the VIPs praised Long Xueli. In the following days, many people in Wudu City were talking about Long Xueli, and they had endless aftertastes about Long Xueli.

At this time, Li Shihan put Long Xueli at Haoyue Store to sell it.

Although the price of a pound of Longxue pear is as high as ten taels of silver, all the Longxue pears shipped from Tianli Village were sold out in just two days.

Haoyue Manor made a net profit of more than 2 million taels of silver.

Li Shihan plans to exchange all the money for war horses in case of emergency.

"I'll think of a solution. If it really doesn't work, I'll go find Duke of Wei. Their Zhenguan Army has 20,000 war horses, and maybe we can sell some." Han Bing nodded and said, Li Shihan had handed over all the more than two million taels of silver. I gave it to him, and there are still a lot left at this time.

He was not worried about money, the problem was that this horse was too difficult to buy.

You should know that horses that can be used as war horses must not only be strong, but also have to run at a certain standard.

Although many villages also raise horses, those who are hungry and full are all skinny and can carry something on weekdays, but they certainly do not meet the standards of war horses.

These more than 800 war horses were basically bought from some high-ranking officials and only a small part of them were raised by ordinary people.

If you really can't buy a suitable horse, the Han soldiers would have to go to Duke Wei with shamelessness.

"In addition to war horses, the Ordnance Department also needs to speed up the production of ordnance. If it really doesn't work, recruit civilians. The wages are not a problem, but the quality must be guaranteed." Li Shihan ordered.

"As for orders, I'll inform Uncle Yin now." Han Bing nodded and hurriedly ran towards the Ordnance Department.

At this moment, Li Shihan saw that Zhu An came staggeringly not far outside the manor.

Li Shihan did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly opened the door and went out to meet Zhu An.

"I have seen His Highness the Third Prince. I have prepared my dividends for His Highness. As of yesterday, there were a total of 1.78 million taels of silver."

Zhu An glanced at Li Shihan and asked, "Is Yu Hao back?"

"The Lord has not returned to the manor yet." Li Shihan shook his head.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhu An's eyes, he ignored Li Shihan and walked slowly towards the manor.

Li Shihan followed Zhu An, feeling a little confused. On weekdays, Zhu An always smiled when he received dividends. What's wrong with this today? Is it because he thought the dividends were too small?

At this moment, Zhu An suddenly spoke, "Did Yu Hao tell you when will he be back?"

Li Shihan shook his head again.
