Chapter 337 Where Are My Soldiers? !
The commander of the Shence Army seems to have a high position and authority, but in fact, the Shence Army has no combat effectiveness at all at this time.

And when Li Yunze recruited troops before, he stuffed all the recruits into the Shence Army.

After Tian Lingzi and others fled, no one could affect his control over the Shence Army.

As for Jing Zhaoyin, Chang'an City is under his control, so Jing Zhaoyin is nothing.

He didn't have a title or title, and he didn't even receive a Jiedushi.

Li Xuan, Tian Lingzi and the others are simply using Li Yunze for free work.

It’s okay to work part-time, but if you don’t get paid for part-time work, it won’t work.

Don't you see, there are so many warriors working in the Tang Dynasty, who dare not pay them wages and ask them to work for nothing, it is the opposite of the knife.

Li Yunze was noncommittal about this, since Li Yan didn't dare to come back, his purpose of coercing the emperor to command the princes could only be postponed or in other words, he had to change his direction.

"Prime Minister." Li Yunze asked, "Which court soldiers and horses are there near Chang'an City?"

Speaking of this, Lu Xie, who is the prime minister, is naturally very clear.

"There are many soldiers and horses around the city of Chang'an. There are Jingyuan Jiedu Envoy Cheng Zongchu's Department, Shuofang Jiedu Envoy Tang Hongfu's Department, Yiwu Army Jiedu Envoy Wang Chucun's Department, and Hezhong Jiedu Envoy Wang Chongrong's Department. In addition, Jing, Long, Ling, and Ning prefectures have tens of thousands of anti-autumn soldiers"

The Jiedu envoys mentioned by Lu Xie were all loyal to the Tang court.

But no matter how loyal they are, they are Jiedushi, and they can also rely on the opinions of the warriors under their command.

When the imperial court can't get enough benefits, don't expect them to be able to work hard.

What's more, people like Hezhong Jiedu envoy Wang Chongrong and others have already surrendered to Huang Chao in name.

As for the anti-autumn soldiers, they are indeed elites, and they are all used to fight against the Tubo army. The elites are drawn from various towns ranging from one thousand to three or four thousand.

For example, Li Yunze's Boye army at this time is the anti-autumn army.

But these anti-autumn soldiers are border guards in essence, and taking them away means giving way to the passage for the Tubo people to go down the mountain to plunder the pass, and send millions of lives to Tubo to ravage.

Compared with the destructive power of Tubo, Huang Chao is a small player.

Even Li Yunze didn't want to touch these troops.

Where to find elite soldiers became Li Yunze's main concern at this time.

Looking at the thoughtful Li Yunze, Lu Xie smiled and stroked his beard, ready to raise a point or two later.

He had known for a long time that the person in front of him was a gangster, after all, he knew all the commanders of the Shence Army, and there was absolutely no such person.

But as long as it's not Huang Chao's bandit army, there are countless ambitious people who want to take advantage of the situation in this troubled world, and Li Yunze is nothing if he is one more.

As long as Chang'an City can be defended, a Jiedushi is inevitable.

Moreover, his own surname is Li, so he even saved his surname.

Sure enough, after thinking about it for a while, Li Yunze turned his attention to Tong Zhongshu of the Tang court, that is, the prime minister.

"Can the prime minister teach me?"

Lu Xie stroked his beard and smiled, "Commander, there are many officers and troops around Chang'an City, but it's not easy to get them to help."

"I don't need their help." Li Yunze simply waved his hand, "I will only need their soldiers."

Well, this is a blatant desire to annex others.

Lu Xie was not surprised either, all warriors these days are like this.

"As long as the money and food are sufficient, there is basically no one who cannot be pulled away." Lu Xie nodded again, "But the most suitable time is to be under the command of Zhuge Shuang, the envoy of Xia Suiyin."

Li Yunze understood what Lu Xie meant as soon as he heard Xia Suiyin's Jiedushi.

Xia Suiyin refers to Xiazhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou and other places, which is the land of Xixia in Song Dynasty.

Compared with the places in Guanzhong and Kanto, it is a properly poor place.

Poverty means lack of money, and lack of money means that as long as you can get enough benefits, you can easily win over soldiers and horses.

Moreover, strong soldiers have been sent out from poor places since ancient times, and the warriors from all over Xia Suiyin are not weak at all.

As for Zhuge Shuang, he is a typical contemporary Jiedushi.

At the beginning, he followed the rebel Pang Xun to rebellion. After Pang Xun was defeated, he turned and defected to the court. After a while in history, he would be persuaded by Zhu Wen to surrender to Huang Chao again, and when Huang Chao was destroyed, he turned and defected to the court.

A typical family slave with three surnames who has a milk is a mother.

At this time, Zhuge Shuang's soldiers and horses from all over Xia Suiyin had already entered and stationed in Liyang, which was not far from Chang'an City.

Li Yunze nodded in satisfaction, selected a group of soldiers and horses to guard a large amount of property, took advantage of the opportunity when Huang Chao's forward retreated and had not besieged the city, he took the initiative to go out of the city to recruit troops in Liyang.

Looking at the back of Li Yunze going away, Lu Xie was very satisfied.

It is too difficult for civil servants in this world to survive, there are eunuchs outside the town, and there is a sand sculpture emperor!
He finally understands that if civil servants who have no power to restrain themselves want to do things, or want to live in peace, they must master force.

Lu Xie felt that Li Yunze was a very suitable partner. According to the rules of their aristocratic families, they would marry under normal circumstances.

It's a pity that the Lu family doesn't have any unmarried women of the right age in Chang'an City at this time, and it is naturally impossible to find someone to replace them for this level of cooperation, which will cause extremely serious consequences.

After much deliberation, Lu Xie decided to choose a beautiful but not so smart person from a familiar family first, and first appease Li Yunze's young and strong body.

When the siege of Chang'an City is relieved, select a suitable Lu family daughter from the entire Fanyang Lu family to marry as the main wife.

If they can have Li Yunze as foreign aid, then the Lu family can truly protect themselves.

Lu Xie began to seriously consider which of the familiar families had a woman who was both beautiful and stupid.

Beauty is a must, sending an ugly girl is not marriage, it is enmity.

Stupidity is also necessary. If you are not stupid, you will want to be in the top position. Lu Xie doesn't want to make wedding clothes for others.

After thinking for a while, Lu Xie clapped his hands vigorously, "The third daughter in Wang Xiang's family seems to be named Bao Chuan. I heard that she has a pretty face, but she fantasizes all day long about marrying a Ruyi Langjun who has both talents and virtues. How can there be any virtue these days?" Both, either trash or villain. Definitely a fool, that's her."

On Li Yunze's side, they didn't know that Lu Xie, as the prime minister, was busy looking for Wang Baochuan to give him a warm bed.

He escorted dozens of carts with soldiers and horses, and rushed to Liyang in a hurry.

Xia Suiyin's soldiers and horses are not many, but there are quite a few cavalry.

They received an order from the imperial court to rescue Chang'an City, and sent troops from various places to Chang'an City for reinforcements. Because riding on horseback was different from where they were stationed, the time to arrive in Liyang was also different.

At least when Li Yunze came here, there were only more than 2000 troops who had arrived earlier.

Seeing Li Yunze's troops approaching, the side reacted quickly, preparing the troops for battle and ready to fight at any time.

This is the case with the warriors of the Tang Dynasty these days. It doesn't matter whether you are from the imperial court, bandit soldiers, or from various towns, as long as you are not from the headquarters, you will be treated as the enemy first.

Looking at the elite troops on the opposite side, Li Yunze nodded in satisfaction.

This is what is called a warrior. The newly recruited rookies in Chang'an City are all just pretending to shout slogans.

"Everyone!"

Li Yunze, holding a tin trumpet, immediately stepped forward, "This general is the commander of the Shence Army, and so is Jing Zhaoyin Li Yunze! Now the bandits have entered the Guanzhong and are rampant."

After the nonsense that occupied the moral high ground, Li Yunze turned to the main topic.

"The General will act fairly, with clear rewards and punishments. These soldiers of Boye Army and Fengxiang Army can testify to this."

Under his signal, the sergeants opened the boxes on the carriage one by one, revealing the treasures full of copper coins inside.

"I will come here today, and I will specially invite you to join my general. If there are any followers, I will use the money as a dowry, and then the salary and treatment will be based on the Shence Army. If there is any deduction and arrears, you can leave it yourself !"

Under normal circumstances, it will not go by itself. The basic operation is to kill the Jiedushi and replace it with someone who can make money.

If it still doesn't work, then kill the Jiedushi and continue to change.

So here in Datang, being a Jiedushi is also a very risky position.

After Xia Suiyin's soldiers and horses on the opposite side saw so much wealth, their first reaction was to be black and white.

Of course, it must be said that these guys are all bandit soldiers.

It was just a measure of the strength of both sides, and this idea was dismissed.

In terms of numbers, Xia Suiyin's side had more people, while Li Yunze's side had only a thousand or so.

But in terms of equipment, Li Yunze's side was stronger. Not only did everyone have a full set of armor, but even the horses were neatly dressed. Compared with Xia Suiyin's side, it was much poorer.Most of the cavalry are leather armor, and there are few horse armor and other things.

And they are both elites, even if they can win in a fight, it will be a miserable victory.

A tragic victory means a huge loss, and no one is willing to use their own life in exchange for others to reap the promise of great wealth.

So soon someone rode out, came to the cart, took off the helmet, and dug out a helmet of copper coins.

Someone took the lead, and more and more Xia Suiyin town soldiers came over, and gathered around the big box to withdraw money.

Li Yunze signaled the accompanying auxiliary soldiers to start a fire.

A large pot of fragrant meat porridge in winter is no less attractive to Xia Suiyin's soldiers than copper coins.

When Li Yunze announced loudly, "As long as you follow me from now on, you will have meat every day." The sergeants Xia Suiyin who had joined him finally cheered him for the first time.

In the end, hundreds of Xia Suiyin sergeants who hadn't come, all leaned over under the sincere calls of their companions, or amidst the aroma of meat porridge and the pleasant sound of copper coins colliding.

Eating meat is no difficulty for Li Yunze, he has a lot of canned food.

Not only that, Li Yunze also brought drinks from Chang'an City and distributed them to everyone on the spot.

Speaking of wine, the mainstream drink in China since ancient times is actually rice wine, the kind with low alcohol content, so there are so many people who claim to be drunk after a thousand cups.

As for the so-called high-grade liquor in later generations, they are actually imported and industrialized products, which are not suitable for the stomachs of Chinese people.

Food products and chemical products are of course different.

Li Yunze never drank high-alcohol liquor.

After taking down the first batch of Sergeants Xia Suiyin, the rest of the matter will be easier.

When the group of Xia Suiyin sergeants who came to Liyang came to Liyang, they basically leaned over without hesitation due to the smell of meat, wine, cash box, and the voices of their companions.

If he hadn't received the news that Huang Chao's main force was approaching Chang'an City, Li Yunze would have pulled away all of Zhuge Shuang's Xia Sui Yin soldiers.

Of course, Li Yunze will not be accepted if he is above the team leader.

Generals have great influence in the army, Li Yunze is not willing to have his troops taken away by others.

He didn't embarrass these people either, and he collected a box of copper coins for each of them, and only let them go when they left.As for the replacement, he was directly promoted from among the sergeants Xia Suiyin, so the sergeants would naturally not clamor for it.

When Zhuge Shuang finally rushed to Liyang, he was surprised to find that only a group of generals and brigade commanders remained in his army.

He trembled with anger.

"Where are my soldiers?!"
