Chapter 42 Multi-party Game (3)

As winter goes and spring comes, everything grows, and the reform of the Liaodong Army has reached its climax. The equipment and personnel of various troops are continuously sent to various places. The slogan "Sweat more in peacetime and less in wartime" has been posted everywhere.

"Stand straight and face forward, hold the rifle firmly, and you can't blink your eyes. The enemy's cavalry on the battlefield will rush towards you. Only by holding the rifle firmly can you survive, the only way to survive.

"A general flag walked by a row of popular people, and the whip in his hand was still shaking. When he saw a soldier's gun trembling, he would whip up.

Sometimes even if you take it firmly, it will be a whip, "You thousand people are the seawalls of our guards, do you know? If you fall down, the whole guard will collapse, so you are the most glorious soldiers of Ningyuan guards.

Do you know what glory is? You just fight to the death, do you hear it?" The soldiers below shouted: "I heard it!"

The total flag raises volume: "What is glory?"

The soldier responded: "Fight to death and never retreat!"

The general flag raised a little more: "Did you not have enough food? I can't hear it!"

The soldiers shouted heart-wrenchingly: "Fight to death and never retreat!"

The general flag shook his whip with satisfaction: "Well, it's not bad, it's almost the same." As he said that, he straightened his chest, with two tiger medals on it and one crane medal shining under the sun.

Several hundred households with red tassels on their hats were drinking tea under the tree and teased each other. An older one said, "Xiao Wu, your priest gunman can't practice like this."

A young man in his early twenties rolled his eyelids and said, "Why can't it work? Do you have a better way than this?"

The older one said: "Don't look at their appearance now. As long as they go to the battlefield, they will definitely wet their pants, let alone thousands of troops rushing over. Didn't Qianhu say that yesterday, it must be combined with actual combat."

Xiao Wu Baihu said: "Old Li, don't brag, I want to fight in practice, but where can I go to fight in practice?"

Lao Li said: "There is a solution. The key is whether you are willing to make some blood?"

Xiao Wu said: "Don't keep it a secret, talk quickly."

Lao Li said: "I know the scouts of the Central Camp. If we promise to invite him to have seafood, he said he could bring his brothers to practice with us."

Xiao Wu said: "Really?!"

Lao Li said: "That's fake, but people said they must eat such a rough ginseng!"

Xiao Wu said: "Damn it, isn't it just five cents of silver per pound? I've paid it, but I agreed that I must come for half a month. At least one hour a day!" These hundreds of households have five taels of silver per month, so they are not afraid of eating this meal.

Old Li said: "Okay, I'll talk to him. By the way, Zhang Qilin, is it your share?"

Zhang Baifang is the most popular household in Ningyuan Guard. He is the first-class Qilin medal, so everyone calls him Zhang Qilin. Zhang Baifang, who has been silent, smiled and said, "It's good that you can find cavalry training."

But why can't you promote your experience? Even if you, a hundred households, have experience, other rookies will still be over if they are not stable."

Lao Li said: "Yes, I want to come to us every day to practice with us, but the cavalry guards also have a lot of training subjects and have no time to care about them."

Zhang Baifang pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, the cavalry may also attack others' cavalry formations. We will practice with them, in fact, everyone can get a sense of actual combat."

Xiao Wu said: "Brother Zhang, you can eat on it, so why not propose it! We can't afford to buy soldiers from our own pockets." His eyes inevitably glanced at the first-class Qilin medal on Zhang Baifang's chest. The thing looked really majestic.

Zhang Baifang nodded and said, "Okay. I'll try."

Everyone was chatting, and cheers burst out from the east of the schoolyard. Zhang Baifang asked, "What are you shouting? Is there any discipline?"

Lao Li said: "Today, the people from the Archery Camp are selecting archers!"

Xiao Wu said: "Oh, it's that new thing, which is specially designed to shoot enemy generals on the battlefield?" Old Li nodded.

Zhang Baifang suddenly became interested and jumped up: "Let's go, take a look."

Three hundred households walked to the shooting range and saw a young man standing in the middle. He was waiting for the person who placed the target in front of him. Zhang Baiwan saw that he was beloved, and he had a total of 150 steps.

He looked at the young man and thought to himself that this was the limit of the lethality of bows and arrows. Although he could shoot 200 steps on the battlefield, it could only cover shooting, and there was no point in being accurate. The three hundred households watched quietly.

Wait until the target is set. The young man grabbed some grass from the ground. Throw it into the air, then spread his feet forward and backward. He bent his bow and arrow, leaned back slightly, rushed into the sky with a "swoosh" arrow, drew a graceful arc, and disappeared in the distance.

Zhang Baifang and the others could not see the target at all. The young man shot out ten arrows one after another before he stopped.

After a while, the soldiers came to the front with the target. When everyone saw it, they were stunned. All ten arrows were nailed to the center of the target, and the wine bowl was on the red heart of the earth.

"Okay!" "Beautiful!" "A magical arrow!" The soldiers watching around cheered. Zhang Baifang and the others couldn't help but applaud. The young man smiled embarrassedly.

The person in charge of the selection was Zhao Er, the Qianhu, who had just been promoted to the deputy of the Ningyuan Guard Arrow Camp. He was the famous magic arrow Zhao Er, who was the scout's former scout. At this time, he also strode forward and patted Housheng on the shoulder, and applauded. Zhao Er said: "Boy, what are your name?"

The young man replied: "Return to the commander, the little bit of the land is Wu Wan."

Zhao Er smiled and said, "Okay, call you Xiao Wan in the future. Where did you learn this unique skill?"

Wu Wandao: "I have been hunting with my father since I was a child, and my father taught me,"

Zhao Er laughed: "What a unique family-leading skill. Okay, I'll take over your soldier. Hurry up and go back to the business to clean up and follow me to train at the Arrow Team.

"Wu Wan agreed and looked at the hundred households in his own land. The hundred households waved their hands to signal him to go quickly. Wu Wan saluted and trotted to the barracks.

Wu Wan was the young hunter who Zhu Zhi met in the street market when he first arrived in Liaodong. This time, Wu Wan was recruiting soldiers in Liaodong, so he said goodbye to my mother and younger brothers and joined the army because he was paid for his salary.

On this day, Zhao Er came to select the magic archers and performed the ten arrows at a distance of 100 steps. He said that according to this standard, he could go to the magic archers team. The monthly salary of silver has changed from six cents to one tael and five cents.

Only Wu Wan, who was able to do it in the entire household, and he could hit it at a distance of 150 steps. Wu Wan suddenly made a big splash in the entire Ningyuan Guard.

Wu Wan was also happy. One tael and five cents a month, how much money was, it was enough for my younger brother to spend money on schooling, and he could also get some decent dowry for his sister to get married.

Zhang Baifang and others looked down on the archers from the bottom of their hearts. They were surprised for a while and then dispersed. After Zhang Baifang returned, he actually reported to his superiors.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Baifang was really in a good position. His proposal was approved by Lu Bodi, and he immediately asked Ni Lei, who came to Dingliao Central Guard, to discuss it. The two hit it off, so the cavalry and infantry of the two guards had the opportunity to train together for ten days a month.

After this idea was reflected upward by Lu Bo, it was deeply agreed by Tie Xuan, which inspired him to combine various types of troops, since he wanted to separate different types of troops.

Then the cooperation between different troops is more important, so he quickly added this article to everyone in the training regulations, and the cavalry and infantry will help each other to train and experience the actual combat feeling.

...

Just as Zhu Di was proud and was about to go south to deal with Li Jinglong immediately in spring. A letter from Li Jinglong was secretly sent to the palace of the Beiping Palace. Li Jinglong wrote a letter as his cousin's nephew to ask his cousin to stop the army.

Li Jinglong's son Li Wenzhong was the top five man who ranked in the top five under the military merits of Lao Zhu. Of course, he was also related to a relative. Li Wenzhong was Lao Zhu's nephew, Zhu Di's cousin. It was reasonable for Li Jinglong to call Zhu Di to call him uncle.

But when Zhu Di saw the letter from his cousin, he felt a bitter smile and said to Daoyan: "Master, have you read it?"

Daoyan smiled and said, "I have read it. My cousin really thinks that a letter can calm the Jingnan, and it is too naive to defend the title."

Zhu Di said: "With Li Jiujiang's courage, he would not dare to write this private message even if he gave him courage. Gu felt that it must be the meaning of the nephew of the capital. It seems that the foreshadowing arranged by the master has taken effect."

Daoyan said: "The day before yesterday, the capital reported secretly. Although we were secretly speaking in the court, we ordered the emperor to dismiss Huang and Qi, for His Highness, it was only for the court to admit the excuse of Jingnan.

Now the emperor's intention to destroy Yan is not dead. There will still be a big battle after the beginning of spring. Your Highness must not take it lightly."

Zhu Di laughed and said, "Master, don't worry, no one can last for two days. I will not be so stupid as to stop the army because of this letter. I miss my cousin's heroic life. But I gave birth to such a coward. It's really a pity.

It’s impolite to come but not go. Master, please reply to him as you believe.”

Daoyan nodded and responded. Triangular eyes rolled: "Your Highness, the court is at a disadvantage in both military and public opinion, and it is no longer a matter of fear.

The one who really needs to be wary of is the one who is from Liaodong. After Shahe, he really found an excuse to escape in the last battle and killed Yang Wen. Now Liaodong is his world."

As soon as Zhu Zhi was mentioned, Zhu Di's anger came to his death, and his face immediately became gloomy and said, "Hmph, in the Battle of Shahe, I was not careful to fall into his evil plan. I will not be avenged by this revenge. Master, I have a brilliant plan to get rid of the fifteenth old man for this king."

Daoyan said: "The wings of the King of Liao have been completed, and it cannot be eliminated overnight. But I have two strategies to limit Liaodong's threat to Your Highness.

First, Liaodong is currently surrounded by Goryeo, Beishan Jurchens, Daning and Beiping. On the one hand, His Highness can continue to urge Li Chenggui to increase troops to the Yalu River, and on the other hand, he sends a bunch of elite cavalry to disturb the direction of Daning. At the same time, he sends people to communicate with Beishan Jurchens to give them food, cloth, salt and weapons and equipment.

Help him strengthen his strength to move south to harass the Liaodong border. Although such a four-war place cannot make the Liao king exhausted, he can also set up defenses on all sides to weaken his troops on the Guanning line."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Hmph, Peiping is the place of four battles, but isn't it the same as Liaodong? The master's plan is very good and he started to do it immediately. Is there another plan?"

Daoyan said: "I heard that just after the New Year, the King of Liao carried out military reforms on his troops. You should know that the military system has always been a major issue in the country, and no matter how powerful the vassal kings are, they dare not use the military system.

But the King of Liao gave military salaries and set up medals, which clearly meant to modify the ancestral system. It can be seen that his ambition is quite large. Therefore, Your Highness can bring someone a letter to persuade the King of Liao and His Highness to stop the war. If the crisis is successful in the future, the world can be divided equally with it."

Zhu Di said: "Hehe, old monk, your move doesn't seem to be very good. The power of the Lone and the Fifteenth brother become a powerful force, and he will not surrender.

And I felt that he was like a fisherman at this time, wanting to see me fight to the death with the court, so he would benefit from it, so how could he give up with me?”

Daoyan smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness only sees one thing, the other is also a way of separation. Your Highness sends people to communicate with the King of Liao, and whether he agrees or not, the court will doubt him.

Last month, the court was afraid that King Jin would lose to His Highness, so King Dai had already recalled the two princes to the capital. Now that the King of Liao killed Yang Wen, it has violated the court's taboo. As long as they were between the two, it is difficult to guarantee that the court would not issue an order to summon King of Liao back to the capital.

At that time, no matter whether the King of Liao entrusts an imperial edict or not, it will cause trouble between the court and Liao. The one who will benefit from it will be His Highness."

After hearing Daoyan's analysis, Zhu Di turned his worries into joy: "You old monk, where do you have so many tricks in your stomach?"
