Fenghou

Chapter 118 hint
At dusk, the second batch of supplies arrived, including meat, vegetables, medicines, [-] guan coins, military blankets, water hyacinths, bowls and chopsticks, etc. The two civil servants, Yu Hou, were so busy counting and registering nod.

Two civil servants, one named Zhou Kuan and the other named Zhang Miao, are veteran military officials who have followed Wang Yan for many years. They are very shrewd and capable in mastering the military affairs and warehouses of the Bazi Army.

Once Fu Xuan took office, he would be the first to take the two of them under the knife. Wang Yan originally wanted to take them away, but he thought that following Chen Qing would have a better future for them, so he recommended them to Chen Qing.

"What's with the twelve thousand coins?" Chen Qing couldn't figure out why it was twelve thousand coins.

Zhou Kuan explained with a smile: "I don't know what the commander is. The military salary is two yuan a month in non-wartime. During wartime, it becomes five yuan a month. Now it is non-wartime, so it is [-] yuan a month. The money is the salaries of [-] people for two months. This is only the salaries of the soldiers, and the salaries of the generals above the escort are paid separately, not included in it. If the wartime enters after a few days, the difference during the wartime will be made up later.”

"But food and other supplies were given to me for [-] people. Why is the money only for [-] people?"

"It is impossible to give more money. It has always been the case. Food and materials can be given more, but the money is paid according to the number of registered troops."

"What if I get the five hundred crossbow troops? Do you want to give me the salary of five hundred people?"

Zhang Miao understood Chen Qing's thoughts, and explained with a smile: "There are three types of troops, one is the number of establishments, and the establishment of the Qinzhou Army is [-] troops, which is decided by the imperial court.

The second is called the number of people on the list, which is the number of troops assigned to you by the Xuanfu envoy. For example, after you get [-] god arm crossbow troops, the number of people on the list will become [-].

The third is the actual number of people. If the command system is set in Qinzhou, due to actual needs, the army will increase to [-] people, and then the number of soldiers allocated to us by the Xuanfu envoy is [-] people, only counting the number of people on the list. The salaries and food of the [-] people paid out have to be solved by themselves, and this is the case in all armies. "

"What if I become a ruler?" Chen Qing asked again with a smile.

"Naturally, as the tide rises, all boats rise. The establishment of the control system is [-] people, and the number of registered people will be slightly higher, around [-] people."

"I see, hurry up and register! Thank you for your hard work."

As soon as Mao Shi arrived the next day, the rumbling battle drums sounded, and soldiers in neat armor rushed out of the large tents in all directions and rushed towards the school grounds.

Chen Qing and several generals had already waited ahead of time, and there were thirty military policemen behind them, who were responsible for enforcing military laws.

At the end of the one hundred battle drums, except for the [-] soldiers who needed to make breakfast, all [-] soldiers were in place, and none of them was absent.

This is much better than when the recruits were trained in Muzhou.

Chen Qing said loudly to the soldiers: "Brothers, our Qinzhou Army has officially entered the state of full training from today, everyone knows me, I believe you also know that I will not treat you badly, but the other side is strictness, we must use The most severe means of training must constantly break through the limits of our bodies, only in this way can we survive on the cruel battlefield, I will stop talking nonsense, let's have breakfast, then run fifty miles, and disband!"

The soldiers went back to the camp separately, and a hot breakfast was brought, porridge and buns, three big buns per person, and a bowl of thick porridge.

Chen Qing had the same breakfast as the soldiers. He was looking at the map while eating buns with pickled vegetables and minced meat.

Today he will drop by to visit Liu Ziyu. Liu Ziyu's army is about twenty-five miles west of them at Wang Jianpo. There are [-] troops.

These two armies will become the main force to resist the Jin Kingdom West Route Army.

A quarter of an hour later, the soldiers had finished their breakfast and packed up. Apart from the logistics army, the other [-] soldiers ran out of the gate of the barracks and headed west.

Wang Jianpo was named after Wang Jian, a general of Qin State, once stationed troops here.

The terrain here is steeper than that of Jiwang Slope, and the area is more than three times larger. There is also a mountain stream flowing through the middle.

Liu Ziyu, the governor of the capital, was about forty years old, elegant in appearance, and capable of both civil and military skills. He was the eldest son of the famous general Liu Kai, and his third brother Liu Ziyi was the father of Chen Qing's friend Liu Qiong.

It was also because of Liu Qiong that Liu Ziyu was quite enthusiastic about Chen Qing.
The two rode to the edge of the hillside. Liu Ziyu pointed to the wide valley in the distance and said, "I'm afraid our West Valley will be under a lot of pressure in this battle."

"How did Liu Dutong know?"

"A month ago, there were Jurchen cavalry scouts in West Valley. This time, Wanyan Wushu is the commander in person. I'm afraid there will be [-] troops attacking Monk Yuan and Dashan Pass. He will learn the lesson from last time. Deploy to Xigu early, we estimate that we will face the oppression of [-] enemy troops!"

"Wu Dutong told me that our two armies can coordinate with each other and have an unexpected effect of defending against the enemy."

Liu Ziyu smiled, shook his head and said, "That's Wu Jie's comforting words, don't take it too seriously!"

Chen Qing was startled, "How do you say that?"

"Once the golden soldiers attack Wang Jianpo, they will definitely keep an eye on your every move. As long as you send troops out, they will cut off your retreat and ambush you halfway, and you will be surrounded."

Chen Qing pondered for a moment and said: "Echoing each other just means that the enemy and our troops are similar in strength. When the enemy army besieged me, they exposed their backs to you, and finally formed an anti-encirclement!"

"That's the problem! It's impossible for Jin Bing to send only [-] troops to attack Xigu, at least [-] troops. You are ambushed by [-] troops, and [-] troops are staring at me. It's clear at a glance who is the cicada and the mantis. , in fact, Wu Dutong is also very clear, "

"Since Wu Du is clear, why does he still have to deploy like this?" Chen Qing asked in a deep voice.

"That's why he didn't tell you his real intention, you need to understand it yourself!"

Liu Ziyu sighed and said: "Don't think too much, in fact, we are the two lines of defense in Xigu, and my line of defense alone is not enough, so I will deploy another line of defense for you, and when my army is exhausted, it will be our turn Your second line of defense is now. You are good at fighting tough battles, and you can buy time for Monk Po's Song army to retreat south. This is your major task. Do your best to block the Jin Kingdom West Route Army, prevent them from cutting off the main force of the Song Army's southward withdrawal route, and cover the main force of the Song Army Withdrawing the Dasan Pass, whether Sichuan can keep it depends on whether the last Dasan Pass can be held."

"What about my army at the end?"

Liu Ziyu smiled bitterly, "Both of us are deployed in the Jedi. The mission of our two armies is to fight to the death. As for whether we can survive, it depends on God's will!"

Chen Qing was speechless for a while, he didn't want to fight to the death, but he happened to meet again.

On the eighth day of October, Chen Qing brought Yang Zaixing, Zheng Ping, Zhou Kuan and twenty soldiers to Dasan.

"Commander, let's have a drink!"

Zheng Ping felt itchy, and said to Chen Qing: "I heard that the day after tomorrow will enter a wartime state, and Wazi has to be transferred to Hanzhong. These two days are the last chance."

After talking with Liu Ziyu, Chen Qing has been in a bad mood for the past few days. He has a feeling of being betrayed. He recruited himself from Lin'an all the way, but in the end he let himself be stationed in a dead place, and exchanged his own life for others to survive. .

Although he knew his mission was extremely important, it felt bad.

"Let's go! Go have a drink or two."

Zheng Ping was familiar with the road, and took them to the largest Fengxiang restaurant, which was a three-story wooden restaurant that could accommodate up to two hundred people to dine at the same time.

Chen Qing asked twenty soldiers to eat in the lobby on the first floor, and he took a few of his men up to the second floor.

"Zhou Yuhou, have you ever been to this restaurant?" Chen Qing asked with a smile.

Zhou Kuan smiled and said, "I often come to this restaurant. The wine is good and cheap. It is said that the proprietor is a Chengdu drinker."

"Since you are from Chengdu, it should be called Chengdu Restaurant. Why is it called Fengxiang Restaurant?"

"We belong to Fengxiang Mansion here!"

Several people walked into an elegant room, and just as they sat down, there was a burst of laughter from the next door.

A man laughed unscrupulously and said: "Sing one more song, and I will reward you if I am happy!"

Chen Qing heard the voice, and Fu Moshan was next door.
