    Ha San knew that this sword was different from ordinary swords and must have some origins.  Chen Lu hurried to the front and saw the soldiers queuing up in front of the small spring to get water.  He came to the water spring and saw a small spring. There was water vapor all around, and there was a thick layer of ice on the edge. A clear spring gurgled outward. He couldn't see where the water was going. It seemed to seep into the water when it flowed out.  Gone underground.

    Wen Da came over and said, "Sir, this spring is too small, and it can't even supply the five sentry men and horses. We can still do it now, but the livestock can't. Some horses have already fallen down from thirst. What should I do? Please tell me clearly."

    Chen Lu quickly said he didn¡¯t dare.  His brain was spinning rapidly. From this point of view, let alone cooking, drinking enough water for these soldiers was a luxury, and what about these animals.  He came here several times, searching his memory, and felt a little unhappy when he saw Wenda eagerly waiting for orders. This matter should be his errand as the commander-in-chief of the army. As deputy Qianhu of the army, this is something he must do in normal times.  suject.

    Of course, the Jinyiwei are veteran soldiers. Chen Lu had to admit that the Jinyiwei were not a combat unit and Ha San should really be allowed to lead the army.  Although Ha San is young, he has more experience than this deputy Qianhu.

    This thought circulated in Chen Lu's body for a week, and after swallowing it, he had to say: "General Wen, ask the engineering soldiers and water supply sentries to come over two feet below the spring water. Dig a well every ten steps, a total of five  , this saves a lot of trouble than digging a flat-bottomed well in the camp. Tell the soldiers not to muddy the spring water above, so that the soldiers can continue to line up to drink water."

    Wen Da responded and shouted: "The engineers and water supply men are coming here with their tools." There were two sentries in total, and two more sentries were transferred, all of whom had already drank water.

    Wen Da said: "You must dig a few wells within half an hour. They should be about two steps wide and about ten feet deep. If you complete it on time, you will be rewarded."

    The engineers at that time were not only responsible for clearing roads through mountains and building bridges when encountering water, but also had the task of digging wells with the water supply troops. Well digging was their strength.  When marching, the biggest problem is water.  When you are not near a river, the prerequisite for camping is whether you can dig out water.

    These engineers dug out several sparkling wells in less than half an hour.  Firewood and rice cookers have been prepared over there, so hurry up and cook.

    Wenda led people to patrol and guard. There were not enough trees here to erect a fence, so we had to surround the cars and camels.  Chen Lu asked Hasan to put up talismans and seals everywhere, so that everyone could eat with peace of mind.

    After dinner, Li Da sent someone to find someone in the area and asked about the location. He became less and less convinced about this bullshit map.

    Chen Lu told him that ahead was a big town called Macheng.  In fact, he didn't take this road at all last time. He took the official road, which is what we often call the Northern Silk Road.  But this official road requires more than two thousand miles.

    Several people looked at the sheepskin map again and were very happy to understand that they had reached a densely populated area.  Chen Lu, uncharacteristically, asked for instructions not to stay or camp in Macheng, but to pass quickly. There was a Mongolian guard set up by the imperial court about a hundred miles ahead of the city, and he would then camp to rest.

    Chen Lu must have a point in what he said, and people believed him. Moreover, according to Chen Lu's tone, it was only a few dozen miles to cross Macheng, so it was no problem.

    At this time, the person who was sent came back with a guide.  Strictly speaking, he is not a guide, just a local.  Chen Lu looked at his attire, wearing a somewhat greasy leather robe, high leather boots, and an ear-protecting hat made of leather and felt. He knew he was a Mongolian, and asked Hasan to ask him in Mongolian: "This  where is it?"

    The man replied: "As for me, this is the Mongol Guards City of Bali Xuanwei Division."

    Hasan asked: "Is this Macheng? Isn't it a big town? Why are there so many families?"

    The man laughed and said: "We have just arrived at the boundary of Macheng. If you are not afraid of being in trouble, you officials will eat in Macheng and you must also stay in Macheng."

    Chen Lu translated it into Chinese for several adults, and they were all surprised.

    Ha San saw that he was quite courageous.  When most people arrived at the military camp, they would have collapsed on the ground and sifted chaff when they saw Qiu Ba.  This man can talk without losing his sense of humor.  Ha San was moved in his heart and asked in Chinese: "What is your name and what do you do for a living?"

    The man replied in Mongolian and Chinese: "The little man Luhatu is a craftsman, and a big animal is a craftsman."

    Ha San saw that he could understand Chinese, and even though his speech was lame, it was acceptable. He felt happy and made up his mind.  He told Li Da that Lu Hatu was a craftsman who specialized in gelding horses, camels and other large animals.

    Ha San said: ¡°There aren¡¯t many families here, and you won¡¯t starve to death in your line of work!¡±

    Luhatu said: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. This horse city is a general name. There is Yuma City."There is a horse city, a gelding city, it scares the officials to say it, and there is also a horse-stealing city.  Two hundred miles from north to south and two hundred and forty miles from east to west.  "

    Several people were stunned when they heard this. It was obvious that they could not pass through Macheng that day. Chen Lu's suggestion automatically became invalid.  He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He could only march about a hundred miles a day, and at most it could not exceed a hundred and fifty miles. I was afraid that it would not be possible to stay for one night, at least two nights.

    Hasan suggested: "Ruhatu has some courage. He should be kept in the mission. He will have a guide and can communicate well with the locals."

    Everyone agrees.  Ha San discussed with him, and he shook his head and said: "Spring is here. Now, both military horses and civilian horses have reached the peak period of processing. I will go to the gelding city in a few days. I can groom at least ten geldings a day."  , if you work for half a month, you can earn two and a half."

    Only then did Ha San realize that Chinese banknotes and copper coins were also used here, so he said: "I see, you often go out to other places. You walk with us, and you will come back when you reach Iron Gate Pass. You will be treated like soldiers in the military camp.  , I will give you a bunch of money (one hundred wen) a day, and I will give you travel expenses when you come back, what do you think?"

    Luhatu was tempted. He could only earn two and a half dollars in gelding city for a short period of time. This was a long-term period. He could earn nine dollars in three months. He usually didn't have to spend his own money. In the military camp, he could earn nine dollars.  I also brought the chew bag out, and there is still travel expenses when I come back.  This family's expenses are enough for a year.  The key point is that this is not a combat unit and there is no need to fight.  Dry!  Only a fool would not do it.

    So he agreed, and Ha San asked him to go back and tidy up, and they would set off together at five o'clock the next day.  Before leaving, Li Da asked Xizi to give him some money for the family.  Luhatu left with great gratitude.

    The next day, after only walking more than ten miles, Li Da reached the official road. Li Da ordered to proceed according to the rules of the angels. He opened the ceremonial guard and the book of honor. The banner of "Heaven's Order to Patrol the West" swayed in the cold wind.  A flag officer and four teams of pairs of horses walked in front, lined up on both sides, walking slowly, with dazzling swords and guns and bright armor.  Residents on both sides of the official road rushed to watch.

    Chen Lu looked at their attires and saw that they were Han Chinese, Mongolians, and people from the Western Regions.  What¡¯s interesting is that almost everyone is holding a horse, some are holding three or four horses, and even children are riding horses.  This is truly a horse city.

    At this time, several officials in uniforms came over and knelt down about ten steps in front of the banner. Kneeling in front was the Mongolian Methodist Questioner. This was an eighth-grade official who was still wearing the front  The official uniform of the court.
