Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 683 Wind Direction
"General, do you dare to accept me into the army?" A group of soldiers with swords and guns came over from a forest and grassland on the south bank of the Yellow River in Puzhou and asked.

Liang Hanyong had received the report a long time ago, and he didn't mind recruiting more soldiers who dared to fight.In fact, every time it breaks into the hinterland of the Liang army, fighting is inevitable, and the battle damage will exist for a long time.Qi Bizhang led an army of [-] flying dragons to the east, and finally the number of the team grew to nearly [-], but nearly half of the original group lost, which shows the cruelty of the battle.

These 9000 people have now been reorganized into the left wing of the Feilong Army, and the more than [-] people brought by Liang Hanyong and Xue Li have been organized into the right wing. The overall book strength of the Feilong Army has greatly increased.

Since it is necessary to prepare for a long-term fight with Liang thieves, it is inevitable to recruit some Henan local soldiers who can ride horses. The premise is that they can pass Liang Hanyong's eyes.

In fact, the ones who can come before him are those who have passed the screening round.Xue Li was in charge. He first removed some thorns that looked more slippery, so as not to make troubles in the army in the future, and it would be difficult to clean up.

Liang Hanyong was cutting steamed cakes with a knife. Hearing this, he glanced at the group of people and asked, "Look at the equipment and armor on your body, and someone is leading the horse and mule. Could it be a soldier of the Tianping Army?"

"The general has good eyesight." Someone laughed.

"Yajun? State soldiers? County and town soldiers? Or Xiangyong?" Liang Hanyong threw a piece of steamed cake into his mouth, chewing and eating.

Well, it has to be steamed with pork paste, this cake is delicious.

"Where are there Yamen in Yunzhou?"

"The Ya army was wiped out a few years ago."

"The current yamen army used to be state and county soldiers."

"Don't underestimate us, the government army in some feudal towns may not be able to do it better than us."

The crowd yelled in unison.

"I believe it!" Liang Hanyong laughed, and said: "The lords are big and majestic. At first glance, they seem to be practicing martial arts, but they are no worse than Wen Tianwuxi's vassal soldiers."

In fact, as long as a place is in a state of war for a long time, even the local peasants will not lose their combat effectiveness after being tortured for a long time.What's more, Yunzhou has been fighting for many years. The elite government army lost more than half of them in the first few battles.After fighting for a long time, a group of people have also been trained, so they can't be underestimated just because of their status, the lower limit of combat power can still be guaranteed.

After Liang Hanyong finished eating the steamed cakes, he asked the civil servants to bring in a table, register everyone's name, then try their martial arts, and then test some basic military skills, such as banners, golden drums, battle tactics, etc.

It's not bad, the quality is not bad, and then use the battle to practice, under the high elimination rate, the survivors are the elite who dare to fight.

It took a full day and a half to compare batches of exams like this. By the day before the Spring Festival, more than a thousand people were finally recruited. Incorporated into the right wing of the Feilong Army.

"The ugly words are up front. I recruited you into the army because of my responsibility." Liang Hanyong looked at the recruits standing neatly and said, "I know that some of you want to get rich, some of you want to fight for a rich family, and some of you Some people want revenge, and some people-just have too much time."

When the last sentence was said, someone laughed.

Indeed, these days there are really people who are so idle that they like to go to the killing field to show their strength. The number is small, but they do exist.

"After joining the army, there is only one thing, obey the order!" Liang Hanyong suddenly raised his voice, and said: "Someone will tell you the rules of the Feilong Army in a while. Let me just say that those who disobey the order will be executed!"

Everyone looked solemn and said yes loudly.

Flying Dragon Army officers and soldiers watched from a distance, with mocking expressions on their faces.These newcomers, don't cry for your father and mother after you enter the battle.The flying dragon army went deep into the enemy's rear to fight, that is not something ordinary people can bear.

After the army is recruited, the next step is to collect spare horse mules, which is more difficult.After all, Qi Bizhang has been fighting here for a long time, and he has searched for a round long ago, so it is really not easy to do it again.

Some soldiers who had just joined the army suggested that there were so many war horses in Ziqing Town, and they might go there to loot them, and they would surely get something.

These killers!Liang Hanyong laughed angrily, but thought about it seriously.When there is really no way, maybe it is really a way, but now we can't make extra troubles.

During the Spring Society Festival on February [-], the people of Yun Town, which had been peaceful for quite some time, began to prepare for the spring sowing. On this day, an unexpected visitor arrived at the Feilong Army camp that was preparing to go out.

"General He is here, he is really a rare visitor." Liang Hanyong and Xue Li went out of the camp together and welcomed him into the tent.

It was He Gui who came. He first glanced at the sleek horses in the camp, then at the high morale of the soldiers, and fell silent.

"I know that Du Guangyi has come a long time ago, and has been hiding in Shao Lun's mansion." He Gui spoke surprisingly, which made Liang Hanyong and Xue Li a little bit surprised.

"I also know that Du Guangyi recently traveled far away, to Qizhou and even Wang Shifan's Dizhou." He Gui said again.

Liang Hanyong didn't know what to say. After holding back for a long time, he cursed: "Shao Lun and Du Guangyi are not secretive, you two trash."

He Gui suddenly laughed, and said: "It's not that they are not secretive. I have been in Puzhou for many years. If I act like a blind man again, wouldn't I be a waste? In fact, they are already very careful, at least Yunzhou is not Know."

Liang Hanyong had to examine He Gui carefully.

This person has a handsome appearance, giving people a feeling that he is not like a martial artist, but like a suave and unrestrained good son.Not an ordinary warrior who only knows how to fight and kill, but a warrior with a brain.

That's it!Having a brain shows that there is still talk, and things are not bad.

"What is General He's intention here?" Liang Hanyong asked.

"I heard that King Xia won a great victory in Luoyang, surrendered Hu Zhen, killed Kou Yanqing, and his martial arts flourished, which is admirable." He Gui said: "The Changzhi Army came to Yunzhou, and its combat power is tyrannical. There is no one in the army that can stop it. Kou Yanqing is brave and resourceful, and has the qualifications of a famous general, and these strong men were also beheaded by the Xia army. Looking at it now, Liang's popularity is exhausted."

Liang Hanyong listened patiently.

"After the Liang people were pacified, the King of Xia either attacked Hedong in the north, or took over the three towns of Tianping, Taining, and Pinglu in the east. I thought about it, if the Liang people were driven to send [-] troops to the east, the three towns of Yun, Yan, and Qing I really can't stop it." He Gui continued: "Instead of becoming a fan at that time, it's better to make a plan early."

"You are honest." Liang Hanyong and Xue Li looked at each other and said.

"Wealth and life depend on it." He Gui replied.

"what do you want?"

"I am Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Tianping Army, what does General Liang think I want?"

"The governor of Qizhou belongs to the Zhu family, and Yanzhen is in the hands of Zhu Jin. General He has such a big appetite, aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid of this and that, why do you come out to be a martial artist? It's better to farm at home and be a farmer."

Liang Hanyong nodded slightly, probably figured it out.

He had also paid attention to the battles between Tianping, Taining, Ganhua and Zhu Quanzhong in the past, and he admired their internal unity very much. Unexpectedly, few major generals surrendered, and there were few internal disturbances. It makes people feel emotional.

Now it seems that unity does exist, but it is only against external enemies.Once the external pressure slows down, there will definitely be no shortage of internal power struggles.

Otherwise, it would be too lacking in the characteristics of Guochao Wufu, wouldn't it?

Of course, Liang Hanyong also knew very well that the prerequisite for He Gui's willingness to surrender was that King Xia supported him as a Jiedu envoy.The meaning is also very clear, you can be a vassal of King Xia, but you don't want to lose your independence.

This thing is also quite strange.Nowadays, King Xia and King Liang are the most famous among the military leaders who are cutting down the vassals all over the world.They are the most unfriendly to the internal small army leaders, and they have been trying every means to suppress and weaken them.In this situation, what did He Gui think?So confident that King Xia can't deal with him after becoming a Jiedu envoy?
At the same time, Liang Hanyong also came to a realization: after the destruction of Zhu Quanzhong, if King Xia was willing to delegate power, it would be too easy to clean up the situation in the north in name.

Seal a bunch of feudal towns out, as long as they don't seize their power, the King of Xia will proclaim himself emperor, and these feudal commanders will also send people to pay homage to them. After all, there were quite a few people who accepted Huang Chao's false position back then.You see, it is so easy to unify the north on the surface, isn't it beautiful?

But King Xia probably wouldn't do that.In today's world, only Xia Wang and Liang Wang are doing the right thing, cutting down the domain, cutting the domain, or cutting the domain!
"This is a big matter, and I have to send someone to report back to King Xia." Liang Hanyong said.

"This is the truth, I can wait." He Gui understood.

"General He, I heard that Zhu Shuai from Yunzhou sent an envoy to Bianzhou to make peace with Zhu Quanzhong. May I ask how many people in Yunzhen agree to do this?" Liang Hanyong asked again.

"In fact, quite a lot." He Gui pondered for a moment, and said, "Seeing that Zhu Quanzhong is not good enough, many people don't want to fight anymore. After so many years of fighting and killing, what do you want? It's not this foundation! Yunzhen How can Yun Town, which is from Yun people, let outsiders decide?"

Liang Hanyong smiled.This He Gui's words were quite interesting, and she didn't forget to remind herself that the people of Yun don't like being ruled by outsiders, if they want to force it, they will deal with the people of Xia just like they did with the people of Liang.

He Gui came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Liang Hanyong and Xue Li didn't want to discuss these too much.The complexity of the matter was beyond their imagination, and it had to be decided by King Xia.In addition, I have to communicate with Du Guangyi, but there is no need to let Shao Lun know for the time being.

The envoy set off soon, returning to Heyang via Wei Bo.

Weibo Town does not allow Xia Jun to pass through, but envoys and merchants are not allowed.But then again, for individuals with small targets, they are also very difficult to ban.Pretending to be a scholar or merchant is not such a troublesome thing, so they just ignored it.

But the recent attitude of this feudal town is also worthy of vigilance.

King Xia won a big victory in Luoyang, and after the news gradually spread to the surrounding areas, there were advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that people like He Gui have made up their minds and want to take refuge.The disadvantages are also obvious. The wind direction of some feudal towns has changed. They are afraid that King Xia will come to trouble them after finishing Zhu Quanzhong, such as Wei Bo.

The situation is turbulent, and it is getting more and more complicated.There will be more and more feudal towns involved in the war.Correspondingly, the scenes of war will become bigger and bigger.

How should we play the next game of chess?

On the fifth day of February in the third year of Qianning, the right wing of the Feilong Army, which had rested for many days, quietly left Puzhou and went south into Dayeze.After feigning a shot, he went straight to Danzhou, which was the prelude to the second phase of the Xialiang War.
