Will Ming

Chapter 550 It's Just a Torn Paper

Li Xian stayed in Liyang for more than a month. He didn't start to discuss the return trip until he had organized all the troops, horses, food and grass in Liyang City. Wang Bodang's 13 troops, plus the city's county soldiers and civilian bravery, totaled nearly 3 troops. After integration and streamlining, the 6 horses were divided into three battalions, with more than 16 horses in each battalion. In addition to the [-] people who surrendered in Wagangzhai, Li Xian took over nearly [-] horses from Wagangzhai. The battalion was restored.

Cheng Mingzhen led the Houtu camp, Wu Tianxi led the Qingmu camp, the three battalions integrated in Liyang, Zhang Liang led the flood camp, Wu Yunzhao led the Ruijin camp, and Pei Xingyan led the Liehuo camp.

The Five Elements Battalion is re-arranged, and each battalion has a standard configuration of [-] cavalry, [-] spearmen, mixed swordsmen, [-] shield infantry, [-] archers, crossbowmen, and stone-throwing riders , the gunmen were mixed, and there were more than [-] auxiliary soldiers in the baggage battalion.Equipping each battalion with [-] cavalry is a fantasy for other forces, but for Yanyun Village, there is no pressure at all.Not to mention the tens of thousands of horses that Li Xian brought back from the grasslands, but when the Turkic wolf riders withdrew outside Niangzi Pass, Ashina Duoduo left behind as many as [-] horses.

In addition to the Five Elements Camp, the Qilu Camp has 5 troops, including [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.The elite soldiers of Qi County have always been the elite troops of Yanyun Village, Xu Shiji sits in Qi County, and these [-] people have been trained by him, and their elite and combat skills are much higher than those of the Five Elements Camp.

Cheng Mingzhen's Houtu Camp had also been transferred to Lu County, and the [-] troops had already set off. Except for Li Xian and Ye Huaixiu who knew the secret of the itinerary, no one else could know the details.Du Fuwei's men quietly marched northward since the beginning of July, trying to attack Dongping County, but they didn't know that Xu Shiji and Cheng Mingzhen had already opened their pockets and waited for them to sneak in.

Qin Qiong's Dongping Camp has [-] troops, but Juye Zebenzhai's troops are located in Dongping County, which is where Li Xian is based.With a mature and prudent person like Qin Qiong guarding him, Li Xian has nothing to worry about.In addition, there are [-] troops from the Lei Ze Battalion in Lei Ze. Yuwen Shi and his army fought fiercely with Wang Shichong. The Wagang Village troops who surrendered have been integrated.

In addition, there are 1 fine riders of Li Xian's personal guard battalion, and Cheng Zhijie is the commander of the personal guard battalion.Among them, 5000 people are the frightening Yanyun Jingqi, who has gained a great reputation in several battles.The other [-] people are the heavy armored swordsmen commanded by Xiong Kuohai. Of these two teams, one is as fast as the wind, and the other is as heavy as a mountain.

Then there is the 4000-strong Yanyunzhai navy, including the original 5000-strong Yanyunzhai navy, 100 Huanglong clippers, and [-] five-toothed ships.After Laihu'er was killed, Laiyuan, the son of Yang Guang who had demoted him to be a commoner, took more than [-] sailors to join Yanyun village, and snatched more than [-] five-toothed ships and more than [-] Huanglong clippers.There is even a giant warship specially built for Yang Guang.

This giant ship is bigger than Yang Guang's big dragon boat.

It has three floors of the upper ship building, with bed crossbows on both sides.The captain was more than [-] meters long, and the bow was installed with a ram according to Li Xian's request.The bow and stern are covered with a layer of iron sheet, and its sturdiness is shocking.

By September of the 14th year of Daye, that is, September of the first year of Datang Wood, the strength of Yanyunzhai had increased to nearly 30, making it the strongest force besides Li Tang and Dou Jiande.

At this time, most of the large and small forces that once spread throughout the world of the Sui Dynasty were eliminated, the big fish ate the small fish, and after the small fish were wiped out, the big fish became bigger and bigger.Among them, the most powerful was Li Yuan, who occupied Chang'an and proclaimed himself emperor. He defeated Liu Wuzhou, won tens of thousands of troops, and won the general Wei Chigong.Destroy Xueju and get 10,000+ troops.The total force of the Li Tang Dynasty was nearly 50, but good and bad were scattered and stationed in various places. Li Yuan could mobilize no more than 20 troops at any time.

The second is Dou Jiande. Although Hebei Dou Jiande was defeated in the battle with Yanyunzhai, he lost more than 40 troops in the battle of Dongping County.However, in the land of hundreds of battles in Hebei, the folk customs are sturdy, and Dou Jiande is good at management, and he keeps recruiting troops, and his strength has exceeded [-].

Jianghuai Du Fuwei has more than 20 troops.

Wang Shichong of the Eastern Capital, after defeating Li Mi, his strength increased sharply, with a force of more than 15.

In the Great Sui Dynasty, the Five Heroes divided the empire.

As for Luoyi in Youzhou, he was settled in a corner of Zhuojun County, with less than [-] troops, but relying on the fact that his men and horses are all elite soldiers and strong generals, his son Luo Shixin is brave and invincible, and no one under his command will dare to oppose him.There are also generals like Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, although they have basically withdrawn from the stage of fighting for world supremacy, they still cannot be underestimated.No matter who gets Luo Yi's [-] elite, it's like adding wings to a tiger.

The Li Tang Dynasty inherited the great national power of the Sui Dynasty. After defeating Xue Ju, more than half of the territory of the Sui Dynasty was acquired by Li Yuan. Coupled with the inextricable connection with Li Xian in Yanyunzhai, the world is already in the grips. Most of the hands.

After Li Yang rectified the army horses, Li Xian welcomed a guest who came from Chang'an to Juyeze and chased Li Yang.

When this person appeared in front of Li Xian with some embarrassment, Li Xian's expression made him tremble with fear.

After Changsun Wuji saluted Li Xian, he stood at the door blushing a little, not knowing what to say.And Li Xian looked at Changsun Wuji's embarrassed face, and suddenly laughed.

"Hehe...hehe...haha!"

The laughter became louder and louder, and Changsun Wuji's scalp went numb from the laughter.

So he decided to strike first.

Clearing his throat, Changsun Wuji smiled embarrassingly and said, "I'm here... two things. First, my Emperor Tang asked me to bring a decree, which is the top priority. Second ...I'm here to borrow food."

Li Xian laughed, looked at the idiot, looked at Changsun Wuji and sighed softly: "Auxiliary machine...can you be more shameless?"

"That...you can...if His Highness has enough money, maybe you can also support some armored weapons. It would be great if you have horses."

……

……

To accept the order...or not to accept?

Several people sitting in the big tent cast their eyes on Li Xian's face.

This time, Li Xian came to Liyang with Cheng Zhijie, the commander of Jingqi in the personal guard battalion, Xiong Kuohai, the commander of the heavy armored swordsman, and Ye Huaishui, the head of the military inspection department.Cheng Zhijie and Xiong Kuohai sat on Li Xian's right hand.Li Xian's left hand is Ye Huaishu.Further down are Zhang Liang, Commander of the Hongshui Battalion sitting behind Cheng Zhijie, General Liu Man of Wu Benlang, and Shi Pei Caozhi, Commander of the March.Sitting under Ye Huaixiu was Xie Yingdeng, the new second-rank chief of the Military Audit Office, and a newcomer in the army who Li Xian made an exception to let him attend the meeting... Nie Duo.

Now in Li Yang City, all of Li Xian's cronies have arrived.

Sun Wuji, the envoy from Datang, was staying in his room obediently at this time, looking at the steaming teacup on the table and sighing softly: "This time... just please don't annoy him. .”

The eldest grandson Wugou who was sitting beside him quietly reading a book smiled lightly and said, "Brother, do you think you haven't annoyed him yet?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned, and said annoyedly: "If I don't talk about borrowing grain first, what should I do if he mentions the one million shi grain and one hundred thousand sets of weapons and armor to me? Anyway, it has already been done. Back to rogue, don't care to do it again."

"It's 20 sets."

Changsun Wugou stretched out two fingers and shook them, the smile on the corner of his mouth was extraordinarily charming.

"Where are you from?"

Changsun Wuji said helplessly: "At the beginning, in order to help His Majesty pull over this strong support, the conditions for going out casually were indeed too great. Thinking about it now, why was I so courageous at that time, with 100 million shi grains and 20 sets of armor and weapons? , dare to say it with just one mouth?"

"correct……"

Changsun Wuji suddenly thought of something, and asked a little puzzled: "Every time you come to see Li Xian, you make a lot of noise to follow. Uncle obviously no longer forces you to marry the second son, so you have no reason to hide anymore." come out."

"Let's relax"

The eldest grandson Wugou said seriously: "Don't you feel bored when you see your uncle's unchanging stone face every day?"

"Wugou! How can you say that about uncle? He...hehe, he is so depressed."

When the two brothers and sisters were talking, the atmosphere in Li Xian's military tent also changed from a little cold at the beginning to a warm one.Xiong Kuohai slapped his thigh and stood up and said, "You can't take that piece of paper, King Zhao? What does he Li Yuan say?"

Zhang Liang pondered for a while and said cautiously: "For the time being, it's not impossible to accept it. It's just a piece of torn paper anyway, so it's okay to accept it. The Lord's King Yan name, could it be that Li Yuan can change it as he wants?" He just wanted to test it out. After receiving the torn paper, Li Yuan felt relieved. As for the so-called King Zhao, it was just a cover. Since he wants to feel at ease, why doesn't my lord give him peace of mind?"

Li Xian was noncommittal, turned his head slightly to Cheng Zhijie and asked, "Bite Jin, what do you think?"

Cheng Zhijie leaned over and said, "I listen to my lord, and I can do whatever my lord says."

His words were not perfunctory, Cheng Zhijie's temperament was direct and forthright, when he was in Wagangzhai he was too lazy to use his brain, and he listened to whatever Xu Shiji said.After arriving at Yanyun Village, he became even more lazy. In his eyes, every decision made by King Yan must have a reason, and it proved to be extremely correct afterwards.Anyway, King Yan will not make mistakes, he just needs to do as King Yan ordered.

Speaking of which, he and Pei Xingyan are the simplest people in Yanyun Village.

"what do you say?"

Li Xian asked Ye Huaishu.

"General Zhang is right. What Li Yuan wants is the lord's attitude. With this attitude, the lord can give it if he wants, and he won't if he doesn't want to. If you give it, Li Yuan's guard will be a little less, and it will be more for our Yanyun village. Benefits. If you don’t give it, Li Yuan will be able to give us Yanyun Village even if he becomes the emperor?"

Li Xian smiled, obviously very satisfied with Ye Huaixiu's words.

"
