Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 824 Force
On the ninth day of July, Huaizhou was scorching hot and the heat was unbearable.

As soon as the Tianxiong army's brats finished their exercise, they lined up and went back to the camp.

The rest of the rest, the washing of the horses, the washing of the horses, the repairing of the equipment, the busy scene.

"Heyang's new noodles are fragrant." Shao Shude sat on the ground with the big soldiers, tasting the newly made steamed cakes together.

The steamed cakes are made of white flour and pork paste (fat oil). When they are first made, they are delicious and everyone eats them happily.

"Heyang was fought down by all the soldiers. When Pang Shigu's 12 troops besieged Heqing, the battle was scorching, and it was difficult to supply food and grass. I don't know how many masters and draft animals fell to death on the narrow path leading from Heqing to the king's house. Shao Shude said: "That was an adventure for me. Fortunately, the soldiers used their lives, and God also helped. After months of heavy rain, Pang Shigu finally retreated. Now Heyang is full of cattle and sheep, and the millet and wheat are golden. Every time I think about this , It should be clear. Somebody, bring me some wine."

The sergeants roared with applause.At the same time, it is also with You Rongyan that Heyang has what it is today, it is all due to everyone's hard work.Yuan County, Wangwu, Qiziling, Zhiguan, and Heqing were soaked in blood everywhere.In this world, things are not obtained by chance, but by one shot at a time.

Soon someone brought dozens of jars of wine.

"Your Majesty, there is a military report." Ye Li Kecheng, the commander of the soldiers, came over and said in a low voice.

Shao Shude was a little helpless, this kid had to learn from Li Zhong, so he had no eyesight.

After taking it over, it turned out that it was about Wei Bo.

The Weibo Festival made Luo Hongxin seriously ill, and there was an undercurrent in the town.Although the soldiers of Wei are domineering and it is very risky to be a Jiedushi, but after all, he is the lord of a town, and there are still people who are interested in that bird position, mainly Li Gongquan and Shi Renyu.

To be fair, Luo Hongxin has foresight, means, and scheming.At the beginning of Weizhou's military chaos, when the government soldiers asked who would be willing to be the military governor in the street, Luo Hongxin even arranged for him to concoct an old-fashioned story about "Grandpa White Beard" identifying Luo Hongxin as the military governor. , anyway, it doesn't matter who is the Jiedushi, so Luo Hongxin was put in charge.

After Luo came to power, he didn't accommodate the sergeant too much, but he still maintained a stable situation. It would be too much to say that he has no skills.But although Wei Bo has money, food, and many soldiers, it is really not a good place. No matter how heroic you are, you will be coerced by soldiers after you get stuck, and you will be unable to display your ambitions.

Luo Hongxin should have given up the idea of ​​displaying his ambitions in this troubled world long ago. What he thinks about now is how to pass on his position to his son, and there are no other unrealistic thoughts.

But Luo Shaowei was young and weak, and his prestige in the army was not enough. He might not be elected as Jiedushi on his own. At this time, he had to find foreign aid.He used to look for Zhu Quanzhong out of various considerations, but the result of the Xuzhou battle made him very disappointed.One hundred thousand Liang troops will be wiped out, and Quan Zhong is no longer able to frighten the unruly warriors in the six prefectures of Weibo, so it will be necessary to replace them.

Shao Shude sent envoys to Weizhou at the end of May, and they have not returned until now.The Wei people treated each other with courtesy, but did not give any clear answer.There was some movement this time. Luo Hongxin frequently sought out Xia Jun's envoys and met many times to ask King Xia's opinion on Wei Bo's affairs.

view?Shao Shude sneered in his heart, I want to kill all the [-] warriors of Wei Bo, is that okay?

Moreover, he didn't believe that Luo Hongxin only found himself.This guy must have found Li Keyong.Sitting on the wall on both sides and repeatedly jumping sideways, isn't this Wei Bo's forte?
He has to discuss this matter with his staff.At present, there is only one vague idea: maybe we can take advantage of this opportunity to change Wei Bo's Jiedushi from the military nomination to appointment, and Wei Bowufu must lose the power to elect Jiedushi.

"Erlang, open the cover and pour wine for the soldiers." Shao Shude made up his mind, pressed the matter, and ordered to his son.

Shao Chengjie got up immediately and poured wine for the ten people sitting nearby.

All those present here are rough and bold warriors, they knew King Xia's rules, they sat still, and thanked after taking the wine bowl.

It's no big deal, Corporal Xia Wang Lixian, the big deal is to sell his life to Xia Wang and his son, what a big deal!
"I'm in my early forties, and the descendants of the Shao family still have to rely on everyone to support me. Let me offer you a bowl first." Shao Shude raised the wine bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

Everyone also drank it.The wine dripped down his beard and mixed with the wet sweat on his chest.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, whoever dares to make trouble in this world, everyone will tie him up and offer it up."

"The prince should come to the army more often, listen to what we have in mind, and let everyone see each other more."

"Your Majesty is good at martial arts. Today he is wearing armor and shooting six out of eight arrows. He beats Zhang Dalang. He really is the son of a king. We are convinced."

Shao Shude laughed loudly when he heard this, stroked his son's back, and said: "I will make a rule that the son of the Shao family will go to the army to practice every year from now on, and will eat and live with the soldiers. In the future, I will not be here. The rules must continue. Erlang, do you know?"

"I would like to follow my grandfather's order. The descendants of the Shao family, who can rule the country with Wen and can kill the enemy on horseback, should go to the army in person to understand the suffering of the soldiers and comfort the hearts of the soldiers." Shao Chengjie replied.

"It looks like it." Shao Shude said with a smile: "Wherever I go in the future, the soldiers will also move there together. Everyone has land and houses to pass on to their children and grandchildren. They live together and enjoy this peaceful world."

"Among you are the old men from Guanbei who have been with me for many years, the healthy men from Helong, the sharp men from Zhongzhong, and the brave men from Liang, all of you are my sons and daughters, regardless of distance or closeness."

"The rules I made 20 years ago, on the battlefield, the lieutenant general flees, kills the lieutenant general, ten generals flee, beheads ten generals, I flee, everyone please kill me. After the battle, everyone will be rewarded, and everyone will be rich. Come, have another drink."

Everyone was elated, and followed Shao Shude to cook another bowl.

Shao Chengjie also had the courage to drink a bowl, and everyone praised him.

His face was flushed and he seemed very happy.According to mother's instructions, secretly pondering father's means.

First, let’s talk about Heyang’s achievements today, so that everyone can feel that they have contributed a lot.Then I looked at the matter of passing on the land and houses to the descendants, and considering that they had a lot of money and silk rewards in their families, they were indeed rich these days.Finally, I will emphasize the rules, what is the consequence of running away, and urge everyone to fight bravely.

A few things, said in a relatively tactful way, not offensive, very natural.My father really attached great importance to the military spirit that was jokingly called the "Forbidden Army" after the reorganization, and devoted a lot of effort.

The big reorganization has reorganized the army that has become increasingly chaotic in the past 20 years, brought more sergeants into the direct line army, and kissed the subordinate army to clean up the morale of the army.Why do you do this?There is too much knowledge here.Shao Erlang suddenly felt that his father was really "treacherous", and his emphasis on and control over the army was beyond the imagination of many people.Some people jokingly called King Xia the "Soldier King", which is not nonsense.

"Your Majesty, there is another military report." Yeli Kecheng had just disappeared for a while, and then suddenly appeared again.

Fuck!Shao Shude really felt that he couldn't marry his daughter to this fellow.Although they played together when they were young, they were childhood sweethearts.

After receiving it, he scanned it roughly, and it was also sent by Li Hang, the East Pavilion of the Wangfu. He had an envoy in Caozhou, saying that Zhu Zhen asked for the post of Jiedu Envoy of the Probation Army.

Erlang was really right, Zhu Zhen just wanted to get out of Xuzhou.

Does this guy really think it's up for grabs?The troops that can be fought are only the left and right sudden generals and the left and right yamen armies.Recently, Huazhou and Shanzhou had betrayed him again, which made him burnt out, yet he dared to raise this condition.

"Tianxiong Junerlang has also practiced together for more than a month, and he must be ready to fight." Shao Shude put away the military newspaper calmly, and said: "Zhu Quanzhong from Bianzhou, we can't let him come back from the ashes. Zhu Zhen from Caozhou, if you can If you don’t come, you will have to let everyone beat him a few times to wake him up.”

The sergeants burst out laughing, and some even made fun of Zhu Zhen.

So far, Zhu Zhen's troops have not been taken seriously by everyone.Your Majesty said so, then everyone has to work harder and pull out Caozhou.

"And my righteous brother in Jinyang, who has always been proud of the fact that Jin soldiers look down on the world, I just don't believe it. If there is a match in the future, I must not lose my face." Shao Shude said again.

"Don't worry, my lord, what Wei Bing, Jin Bing, Zhao Bing, Yan Bing, we will fight together, let him kneel down and call Grandpa."

"A Jin soldier? I fought with Ge Cong and General Zhou Ge back then, that's all."

"Li Cunxiao boasted so much that he joined forces with Li Han and they couldn't beat us. Ding Hui and Ding Dutou killed them in Heyang and defeated them."

Shao Shude was very happy when he heard that.Which battalion, which team, and which fire he goes to is not randomly selected. It must be safe and representative.Liang people surrendered their troops in this fire, and they also participated, which shows that their mentality has changed, which is very good.Digesting and surrendering troops is not just a matter of being assigned to the army, that is just clocking in and going to work, and there is no subjective initiative.They have to see the future and have the motivation to fight hard.

After having fun with the sergeants for a long time, Shao Shude and his son left the Tianxiong army station and returned to Huaizhou overnight.

"It's time for the Tie Lin army to be transferred up, let's draw up an order." Shao Shude said to Lu Siye.

"As ordered."

The Iron Forest Army originally had 6000 people, and after reorganization there are [-] people. It can be said that the change is not too big.After two months, they are almost familiar with each other, and they are completely ready to fight.

Li Tangbin has been on standby for a long time, and the Puzhou camp can be formally established.With the 5 cavalry of the Tielin Army as the core, Zhang Guihou's troops, who were on standby in Zhengzhou, went south to meet, supplemented by the right wing of the Feilong Army, the Liang Hanyong Department, the Pu Bing Shaolun Department, and a small number of sergeants brought by He Gui from Yunzhou , a total of [-] people, not a lot.

As for how to get there, of course, go to Songzhou first.

The summer grain was harvested in June, and with so many household registrations in Songzhou, it was more than enough to supply the left and right Tielin Army with [-] horsemen.

This road is not only facing Zhu Quanzhong's remnant forces in Songzhou, but also may directly conflict with Zhu Zhen, Zhu Jin, and Zhu Wei.In addition, Shao Shude recently heard an unconfirmed news that Zhu Xuan has never entered the court, stayed in Weibo until now, and may return to Yunzhen at any time.

Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin, Zhu Wei, Zhu Zhen, why are so many people surnamed Zhu against me?

"The Zhen Guojun is organized into the Xuzhou camp and is heading for Zhengzhou."

In fact, it is only a part of the Zhen Guojun with tens of thousands of people.

"The guards stay behind in Luoyang."

"The two armies of Wuxing and Guzhen marched to Linhuan, and Feng Yin, the envoy of Wuxing army, was appointed as Xu Suhaosi's recruitment envoy, and the Guzhen and Dingnan armies were brought under their control."

The three armies of Wuxing, Guzhen, and Zhenguo were all transferred from the rear. After the supplies in Luoyang are completed, they can now go to battle.

"Send Lu Huaizhong a letter of acknowledgment. The Wuwei Army has completed its reorganization and will be practicing in Ruzhou on the spot. I will be there soon to train with the soldiers."

The left and right Wuwei troops have just completed their reorganization and annexed Jishi and Shunyi, two troops that were not enough "rooted and seedling red", and are currently stationed in Ruzhou.Shao Shude worked tirelessly and planned to continue to eat, live and train with the soldiers of the "Forbidden Army".

After the training of the Wuwei Army, he will start the reorganization of the fourth imperial army in September and October.
