Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 51
The first day of the second month of the second year of Xiande.

After more than a month of preparations, the Western Expedition army was assembled and officially started.

Luo Youdu is alone and widowed, and the family is also an old housekeeper who has been with him for many years.

The two masters and servants are so familiar that they don't need too much politeness.

It's just that when they parted, Lao Hu insinuated and asked him to marry a daughter-in-law, or take a concubine, just like the old donkey, get a baby out.

Otherwise, if there is an emergency, his life would be meaningless.

Lao Hu received the kindness of Grandpa Luo Youdu in his early years, and he had already decided to hand over his life to Lao Luo's family.

Luo Youdu was moved, thinking that it was time to find a woman to live with.

As for whether it is a concubine or a wife, to be determined.

Zhang Jin pulled Zhang Qiong to greet him, and repeatedly told him to listen to Luo Youdu's arrangement.

Cao Bin's family has a great career, and this is the first time they have gone on an expedition.

On the other hand, Cao Bin himself, calmly answering his words one by one, is like wood, with no extra emotional expression.

Zhang Qiong was wearing an ancestral armor, which was a little small because of too much fat on her body. She re-sewed a circle of iron around her stomach, thighs and arms, and she made a loud noise when she walked.The trot came to Luo Youdu's side with the sound of the collision of iron sheets, and turned over and rode on a mule.

Luo Youdu seemed to hear a scream from the mule.

"Big brother! Go back, we must listen to what big brother says, let us go up the mountain and never go down the river, let us charge, and never retreat."

Zhang Qiong waved at Zhang Jin.

He called two big brothers.

The second eldest brother is naturally Luo Youdu.

After Luo Youdu went to Zhao Kuangyin to ask someone to come, Zhang Qiong said scoldingly: "Finally out of the bitter sea of ​​that king's bastard, Brother Luo, no, eldest brother, you will be our eldest brother from now on, and I will follow you in this life. Don't ask. Other riches, as long as there is meat to eat, it will do.”

Luo Youdu is too lazy to care about a rough man like Zhang Qiong, he can call whatever he likes.

This kind of man, as long as he treats him well, he will give you ten points, or even his own life.

I really can't figure out how Zhao Kuangyi gave him to him so generously.

Zhang Qiong took a huge iron bow from the mule's back and said: "Brother, this is a good bow that Zhao Kuangyin sent a few days ago, saying that it is an apology for his brother. You say, I accept it not accept?"

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Take it, he gave us face, and we can't be too stingy. If we meet Zhao Kuangyi in the future, if you ignore it, don't hold grudges and speak ill of each other."

As soon as Zhang Qiong mentioned Zhao Kuangyi, his heart was on fire, but he admired Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts very much.He was very contradictory in what the two brothers did.Listening to Luo Youdu's words at this moment, he also said open-mindedly: "Okay, let's just treat Zhao Kuangyi as a fart and let it go."

Luo Youdu smiled.

To be a human being, Zhao Kuangyin can still be a human being.

No wonder in history that once the yellow robe was worn, [-]% of the troops and horses in the Great Zhou Dynasty changed the flag of the king.

There are many ways to ask Zhang Qiong.

The most direct thing is to ask Guo Rong for it.But the person who bypassed Zhao Kuangyin and wanted him did not give him face and made enemies.

Directly with Zhao Kuangyin VIP, is a good relationship.

If Zhao Kuangyin refused, it would be shameless for his face, and Luo Youdu would naturally not give him face.

Luo Youdu believes that Zhao Kuangyin can clearly distinguish this relationship between people and sophistication.

After all, it was Zhao Kuangyi who was at fault first, not Zhang Qiong who defected without authorization, seeking wealth and honor.

That's why Luo Youdu knew from the beginning that Zhao Kuangyin would let him go, but he didn't expect that he would also wipe Zhao Kuangyi's butt.

No one else can do this, brother.

Cao Bin also greeted his family and walked towards him.

"Let the prisoners wait for a long time!"

Cao Bin bowed politely.

"Let's go!" Luo Youdu said with a smile, this initial contact, also has a certain understanding of this famous general in history.

He has an old-fashioned serious and unsmiling disposition. When dealing with such people, don't expect him to change his attitude towards you easily.

Compared with Zhang Qiong's shabby appearance, Cao Bin is a typical tall, rich and handsome. He is dressed in red lacquer mountain armor with a handsome face, a stern expression, and a black war horse that is quite a god. He is full of young heroic demeanor.

Behind them were a hundred soldiers, all dressed in black leather armor, armed with spears, and equipped with swords of different shapes on their waists, most of which were broad swords.

The evolution of weapons is not based on their own smelting technology, but on the level of the enemy's armor.

It is still a chaotic world, and the most worthless thing is human life.

The armor rate of the soldiers is not high, and the ordinary soldiers are mostly leather and cloth armor. This big sword is the best and strongest weapon.

As for mounts?

Then it sucks.

Guo Rong called his [-] guards elite, but less than [-]% had mounts, and this [-]% also included donkeys, mules, and goats.

This elite is like this, the situation of the army can be imagined.

Luo Youdu couldn't help laughing bitterly, the army in his impression was that the flags were fluttering, the people were the same color as the high horses, and the marching was like a mountain and a tsunami.

In fact, it was a crowd of people, their clothes and equipment were uneven, and they looked like a group of ants from a distance.

On this trip, as Luo Youdu expected, more than a hundred people in their group were obviously not welcome.

When the army marches, when it rests, and when it cooks, no one notices it, just as if they don't exist.

Luo Youdu doesn't care, anyway, the [-] army can't go to the sky, can they get rid of them?

The penetration rate of their hundreds of people's mounts is less than half, let alone the army!
Luo Youdu was not in a hurry or annoyed, but contentedly dragged Cao Bin to study the art of war and tactics, and played on paper.

The two of them were fast on horseback, and they rode lightly to a high place, watching the densely packed army.

Luo Youdu raised his whip and pointed: "Guohua, the soldiers and horses in front of us, if they are enemies, how can we defeat them if we give you 500 men?"

Cao Bin was stunned, stared at it for a while, and said, "Cavalry or infantry?"

Luo Youdu said: "Cavalry!"

Cao Bin hesitated for a moment and said: "If it is the enemy, the subordinates will divide the five hundred cavalry into five teams, and the fourth team will directly intersperse raids from left to right. After a few rounds, they can create chaos. There is also a team that swims off the court, and the opponent The first place to stop the turmoil must be the place where the general is located. The remaining hundred cavalry directly attacked the other general, and the preservation achieved miraculous results.”

Luo Youdu asked, "What about the infantry?"

Cao Bin thought about it again, and said, "The infantry is a bit difficult, we have to make a surprise attack at night, and we have to find an opportunity. The disparity between the forces is too great, Han..." He didn't know what to say for a while, and then he said: "The enemy generals are not easy to deal with. ."

Luo Youdu said again: "What about five hundred more? 1000 people."

Cao Bin immediately said: "1000 people are feasible!"

They followed the army all the way to the west, and along the way, they talked about the important places in the cities along the way, and they were happy.

They didn't care about the indifference of the army at all. On the contrary, the army who led the way turned them over at least a hundred times on paper!
