Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 503 I Have a Sword in My Hand (Monthly Ticket [-] Plus)
Chapter [-] I have a knife in my hand
If a person is unlucky, drinking cold water will clog his teeth.Liu Jintang at this time has a deep understanding of this truth.Originally, he expected to become famous in these Western Expeditions.However, in Paomaling, Chen Ying pressed him on the ground and rubbed him for a while.

I don't know who advised and slandered Dou Jiande, and actually left his own less than 2 horses to pretend to attack Paomaling.Hearing this news, Liu Jintang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. It was like a mouse being an escort to a cat.Dou Jiande's tens of thousands of troops can't even chew on Paomaling. Letting himself have less than [-] troops to put absolute pressure on Chen Ying is simply the biggest joke in the world.

As soon as Dou Jiande left, Liu Jintang brought the troops back to Xingyang City. His purpose was very simple.

Withdrawing back to Xingyang City, Liu Jintang acted on the attitude of being drunk now, and the people of Xingyang who had already been abused in the city suffered even more.Last time, it was the Zheng family of Xingyang who swept away Dou Jiande's face. Dou Jiande acquiesced in the robbing of the property of the Zheng family of Xingyang by the soldiers of the Xia army. The target was very targeted, only targeting the Zheng family of Xingyang.

Now, Liu Jintang, who is broken and broken, can't care about these things. As long as Chen Ying's army comes to attack, he can't resist for a few days, so a day is a day.

As soon as it got dark, Liu Jintang's soldiers began to arrange food. The soldiers carried the dead sheep they did not know where they had snatched, first peeled the skin, then gutted it, removed the internal organs, cut the lamb into large pieces and threw it into the pot to cook, and peeled the radish. Peel off the skin, cut into pieces, wait for the mutton to boil until the broth is rolled, and pour it into buckets.We don't have to worry about waste at all.

Here, Liu Jintang had just served the rice bowl and filled the wine, when he saw his soldiers running into the hall with sweat profusely: "General, it's not good..."

Liu Jintang didn't even think about moving, and said lightly: "Is Chen Ying's army calling?"

The recruit shook his head.

Liu Jintang said: "It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it. Continue to eat and drink!"

The personal soldier sighed deeply, and swallowed the last words in his stomach.

Originally, if Liu Jintang had pressed his troops under Paomaling like Cao Zhan, Zheng Jian would have no way to send supplies and personnel to Paomaling, but Liu Jintang was frightened by Chen Ying's Modao army, afraid that Chen Ying would catch him After a while of beatings, he was wiped out.

In these years, a soldier and a general are the Caotou king, and the soldier is the foundation of Liu Jintang's life. Once he loses nearly 2 horses under his command, Liu Jintang will have no status in Xia Guo. It's because of Liu Heitai's face. , Give him a small official to do.

However, Liu Jintang was afraid, so he withdrew his troops back to Xingyang City, and Paomaling was immediately unimpeded.

Zheng's young and strong drove the carts, which were loaded with food, money or supplies, and the carts marched mightily towards Paomaling.

Guo Luo looked at the invisible convoy, took three steps at a time, and arrived at Paomaling where the Chinese army was in the tent.In the Paomaling camp at this time, Chen Ying was very leisurely. He dug a pit outside the tent to serve as a stove, put some stones on it, stuck a few carp with small wooden sticks, and was grilling.

I don't know what the rumors are. Chen Ying vaguely remembers that later generations said that the people and gentry were forbidden to eat carp in the Tang Dynasty because Li and carp have the same pronunciation. This is pure nonsense.According to this statement, wouldn't the emperor of Zhou want to forbid the people to drink porridge?Comrade Lao Zhu forbids the common people to eat pork?Does Yang Jian want to ban the common people from eating mutton?
Chen Ying asked Li Xiuning specifically, but Li Xiuning didn't know about it at all.

Chen Ying took Li Xiuning with a spear to catch fish in the creek at the foot of the mountain, but Chen Ying's skills were sloppy, and he didn't catch a single fish after a long time. The arrow shot down and hit seven fish.

Chen Ying took the carp he shot and went back to Daying to cook the fish with Li Xiuning.

The fly in the ointment is that there is no chili powder and cumin, the taste is not satisfactory, but Li Xiuning is very happy to eat.

Chen Ying looked at the grilled fish and murmured: "Chili, when will we eat chili!"

Li Xiuning asked curiously, "What pepper?"

Chen Yingdao: "Chili pepper is a condiment..."

America, Chen Ying's brain instantly became active when he thought of this place.Chen Ying once watched "Discovery" in later generations and remembered that there was an ocean current in the Pacific Ocean, which could float from the Pacific Ocean to America in a month.

There are so many things that Chen Ying can only dream of in America, such as peppers, sweet potatoes, peanuts, tomatoes, potatoes, and of course delicious crayfish...

However, the origin of the dream is unknown. When Chen Ying fell into his beautiful fantasy, Guo Luo was shaking Chen Ying vigorously: "General, general, wake up..."

"Stop shaking, I'm about to fall apart!" Chen Ying said angrily, "What happened?"

"Money, food, and a lot of soldiers!"

……

Chen Ying received the first batch of materials from the Zheng family, more than [-] catties of steelmaking and about [-] pairs of refined steel armor, and more than [-] young and strong men, although these Zheng's under the banner of "tenants" Young and strong, in fact, Chen Ying found out at a glance that these young and strong were well-trained sergeants, wearing battle armor, they could be pulled out to the battlefield, and they had somewhat murderous looks on them.

"How about the young and strong General Chen?" Zheng Jian proudly introduced to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Not bad, very good!"

The physical fitness of these young and strong people is quite good. They are all above the age of 35, and very few are around 40 years old. In fact, although the Zheng family in Xingyang passed on their poems and books to their families, they had money, people and food. As early as the beginning of Li Yuan's army, they also began to build their own private soldiers. The composition of these private soldiers was very complicated. The fugitive rebel soldiers also include the fugitives of the Sui Dynasty when Yang Guangdong conquered Goguryeo, and the Wagang army taken in by the Zheng family when Wagang and Li Mi were defeated.

Zheng Jian said triumphantly: "Our Zheng family treats our tenants well. Although natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued in recent years, and the grain has not been harvested, our Zheng family has always withheld food from the tenants. , is a rare spirit... Recently banditry has been serious, they often fight with bandits and rogues with knives, they are not only majestic, but also tough."

Of course, Zheng Jian didn't say anything, as long as the weaker ones were killed by the rebels!

Zheng Jian continued to show off: "The most rare thing is that they have very personalities. If you order them to move forward, they will charge forward even if there is only one person left; if you let them stop, they will not surrender even if they hit the last person!"

When Chen Ying heard this, an unnatural look appeared on his face.There was also a turbulent wave in my heart, no matter what the battle was, the last person would rush forward. This was not an ordinary tenant at all, nor an ordinary private soldier, but a real dead soldier.Chen Ying felt that it was an exaggeration for the Hou Mo Chen family to secretly raise three thousand fierce tigers, but compared with the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Hou Mo Chen family who started with military merits and martial arts was simply childish.

Tens of thousands of dead soldiers, what is this concept?It takes about ten guan a year to feed an ordinary soldier, or even at least ten times that of an ordinary soldier.After all, the dead men did not pop out from the cracks in the rocks. If you want the dead men to work hard, you must give them enough housing allowances, so that the wives and children of these dead men have no worries about food and clothing. That is to say, the ten thousand dead men , The annual cost of money and food will be as many as one million.

In fact, Chen Ying was wrong. Most of the dead men of the Zheng family were adopted orphans or the children of Zheng's shady families. Not only were they very loyal to the Zheng family, but they also paid a lower price.They were all almost one-time buyouts, and they didn't spend a lot of money. For the tens of thousands of dead soldiers, Zheng's annual expenditure did not amount to about 30 to [-] guan.

In fact, the Zheng family of Xingyang's calculations are more shrewd than anyone else's.Chen Ying is a well-known general in the world, known for his bravery and military training, as long as the soldiers Chen Ying has led, they will not die in a battle, and all of them are elites.Therefore, the Zheng family clearly knew that Dou Jiande's army had all retreated, leaving only Liu Jintang with less than 2 troops to defend Xingyang.

The materials and wealth to be given to Chen Ying are not three melons and two dates, but no less than 30 yuan of materials, and there are still [-] young adults.Just thinking about Zheng's makes her flesh hurt.But Mrs. Zheng still gritted her teeth to fulfill the contract, of course not because she was afraid of Chen Ying's revenge, but because she wanted to use Chen Ying's hand to train Chen Ying an elite army.Only with elite soldiers who stand against ten in hand, can the tragedy of Dou Jiande's army looting the Zheng family not be repeated.

Chen Ying was not polite when he got the materials and manpower. Although he knew that the Zheng family was using Chen Ying, Chen Ying didn't care.Under Chen Ying's ideological education and spiritual bombardment, only God knows how much loyalty they can retain to the Zheng family.

Of course, what surprised Chen Ying the most about these young and strong men was that they could pick out more than [-] strong and powerful men with a height of eight feet. A very small part is not enough to meet Chen Ying's needs. Chen Ying is also unceremonious, and with a wave of his hand, he has drawn out more than [-] giant men with a height of eight feet to form four reserve armies of the Modao Army. .

There are many people who can ride horses in the Central Plains. Especially in the Sui Dynasty, the families of the common people were very wealthy, almost the same as those of later generations. As long as the average family background, every household has a horse, so there are many people who can ride horses.These people are treasures, and Chen Ying also unceremoniously used more than [-] people as cavalry reserves.

The other dead soldiers all acted as jumping soldiers and shooting soldiers. In this way, in a short period of time, Chen Ying's trilogy has expanded by more than [-] people.

With the follow-up of [-] war horses and rough horses in place, Chen Ying's hook and sickle cavalry grew legs again.

As the saying goes, with a knife in hand, I have the world.

With the materials and manpower supported by the Zheng family, Chen Ying immediately started preparing for the battle, preparing to recover Xingyang and end this troubled world by the way.As long as Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong are eliminated and the world is peaceful, Chen Ying can live the peaceful life he wants to live, and most importantly, he can embrace the beauty.

The reserve of the shooting army followed the training of the shooting army, and the cavalry reserve army followed the hook and sickle cavalry for restorative training. The old rules lead the troops.The Modao Army reserve army followed the Modao Army for training, but there was really no way to solve the Modao Army's equipment.
