Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 471 Raid Camp
"Brother Li, it won't be a problem if we go looking for this Zhao Zongbing with such great fanfare, right?" Wang Ping said with some anxiety in his heart.

After all, this is a military camp, and there are soldiers and horses everywhere, so he still feels a little uneasy.

Li Xiuyuan was calm, and he said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. It's just a commander in chief. Although there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there are less than [-] elites capable of fighting. Moreover, joining the army with these They dare not do anything with the guts, because the price is too much for them to bear

Besides, Zongbing Zhao is unconscious now. I am holding this document written by Zongbing Zhao himself. They can only act in peace. "

"I have figured out the hearts of these stupid officials. If they have benefits, they will go to them. If they don't have benefits, they will coward them. They have no courage and courage. They don't want no merit but no fault."

"Brother Li's words make sense." Wang Ping nodded in agreement.

Just like when we were in Guobei City, when encountering floods and plagues, those officials ran faster than anyone else, because controlling floods and plagues is a thankless task, good governance should be done, and poor governance will result in dismissal. It would be better for Xunhe to run away, and then pretend not to know, to protect himself

ill.

Soon, Jianjun walked out of the military tent with several generals. Although his official position is higher than Li Xiuyuan, he is a person who knows the current affairs very well. Knowing that Li Xiuyuan's army is coming, he dare not put on any airs. Instead, he bowed his hands respectfully and gave a salute.

"Since General Li has a letter written by the Commander-in-Chief, let's do it according to the Commander-in-Chief's wishes, and order 3000 troops to give to General Li." Joining the army gave a gesture, and then a general came out.

"Please wait a moment, General Li. This general will dispatch 3000 troops to you."

However, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "No need, leave this matter to my subordinates. The document says [-] elite soldiers, I don't want to be perfunctory by [-] old, weak, sick and disabled, Han Meng. "

"Your subordinate is here." A burly man in golden armor came out with fists in his hands on horseback.

"Take your troops and go to the army to order 3000 people." Li Xiuyuan said: "Also tell them, the monthly payment is one tael a month, three taels in wartime, and 20 taels of compensation after death in battle. The general will pay for them with armor and horses." Prepare."

The monthly money of my Li family army is five taels in wartime and two taels in non-wartime.

His treatment of these people is a bit worse, and there is a gap to appease the hearts of his old troops.

However, the pension after death in battle is the same.

This tells them that as long as they work hard for themselves, they will be treated equally and will not be treated differently.

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Han Meng responded with a punch, and took his own troops to order three thousand elite soldiers.

Talking about ordering troops is actually blatantly recruiting troops in the barracks.

A man who is capable and wants to fight for wealth will naturally be tempted.

If you are not tempted by this, then you are just a coward waiting to die, and it is useless to come here.

"General Li, this doesn't seem to be in compliance with the rules." Can Jun's face changed, and he said hastily.

If you really want to send out [-] elite soldiers, you won't be able to scold yourself to death until the commander-in-chief wakes up.

Li Xiuyuan said with a half-smile: "Rules? That's strange. I followed the rules. Could it be that the rules of Mr. Joining the Army are different from those of Mr. Zhao Zongbing? Or maybe Mr. Joining the Army wants to use the rules again?" Perfunctory me? If this is the case, then I would like to let this participant
Mr. Jun tried my Li Jiajun's soldiers. "

After speaking, his face turned cold: "I can defeat the 10,000+ army of Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin. I wonder how powerful the tens of thousands of troops here are?"

Clearly a threat.

Regardless of your official position, big fists make sense.

This is when a scholar meets a soldier, and the reason is hard to explain.

The soldier's face turned pale, and he was at a loss for words. He didn't know how to answer. Although he was ashamed and annoyed, he was powerless to fight back.

I can only think about writing a memorial and going to the Ministry of War to participate in this Li Xiuyuan's copy.

Soon, three thousand elite soldiers lit up, and Li Xiuyuan took a look. Although his face was sallow and emaciated, his uniforms were tattered, and most of his weapons were old, there was at least a hostile and ruthless look. ruthless role.

Under Zhao Zongbing's command, these men who dare to work hard may not even have enough to eat. Who knows how much Zhao Zongbing has deducted from the army.

Of course, this is also a norm in the military.

"Let's go, go to Zongbing Sun's barracks." Li Xiuyuan glanced at it: "The armor and weapons of the recruits will be issued after a period of time, and after the registration and bookkeeping, the military salary will be issued for three months."

As soon as these words came out, many of the new soldiers immediately showed surprise on their faces.

Giving out three taels of silver in one breath is life-saving money for many poor families who can't get rid of the pot. If you save some money, you can live for half a year. If you subsidize it, you can live a lot easier next year.

And the weapons and armor are still issued directly.

Zhao Zongbing had to pay for the better weapons here.

Many soldiers felt that if they defected to a good general, at least it was much better than Zhao Zongbing's here. They didn't have to work hard, and they didn't get anything, and they didn't even get a winter coat in winter.

"Farewell, there will be a later date, but the second thing you promised has been forgotten. Withdraw from Jinling City and return to your own station. Dispatch troops without orders, but you will be charged with treason," Li Xiuyuan glanced at the man coldly. Join the army and partial generals.

It is impossible to expect these people to quell the chaos.

They will only add to the chaos, and maybe even encourage the thieves, thinking that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are nothing more than that.

Only by going out on your own can you defeat Li Liangjin, Shi Hu, and Hua Gu's army in one blow, and they will be sent to die if they are replaced by other general soldiers.

How can a mere stupid official punish a thousand-year-old demon?

The army was dispatched, iron hoofs rolling, and they headed towards Sun Zongbing's barracks.

Dust was flying all over the sky, and tens of thousands of soldiers left, which made some officers in Zhao Zongbing's barracks breathe a sigh of relief.

When he arrived at Zongbing Sun's barracks, he just followed the same pattern, and because Zongbing Zhao honestly sent out three thousand elite soldiers, Zongbing Sun agreed to join the army without even thinking about it.

Just like that, Li Xiuyuan gained [-] tattered, sallow and emaciated pawns.

"The last one left, Zongbing Qian, hasn't visited yet." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, and a golden light emerged.

He saw that General Qian's barracks was sharpening knives, bows and crossbows were ready, and a messenger soldier left the barracks and rushed here.

"It's so old, and I'm still playing Hongmen Banquet. Yesterday, the ghost king under my command had already seen the plan of Qian Zongbing. I didn't expect that he really planned to set up an ambush to kill me today. Is this Qian Zongbing stupid in reading? See whose territory is outside Jinling City, set up an ambush to kill me in my territory,
Am I an idiot? "

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled in his heart.

Even if he doesn't use the divine eye technique, he still knows Qian Zongbing's plan.

Yangzhou is full of ghosts and gods under his command, and there is nothing he doesn't know.

Li Liangjin, Hua Gu, Shi Hu, and even the Yangtze River King, the Eight Great Kings, and all the ghosts and ghosts in the mountains and fields are clear to him.

All the information is recorded.

"But you have to go to the Hongmen Banquet, otherwise this scene will continue like this?" Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

He ordered: "Xing Shan, you lead a group of people over there to intercept the messenger who came out of Qian Zongbing's barracks, and capture him alive. Don't hurt his life."

"Yes, young master." Xing Shan nodded in response, ordered a group of people and immediately left the group and rushed out.

Sure enough, soon he followed the direction Li Xiuyuan pointed and saw three soldiers riding out from the direction of the barracks, heading towards Jinling City.

"Hey~!"

After catching up, Xing Shan rode his horse and put on a bow, and shot out with one arrow.

A healthy horse in the distance immediately fell to the ground with a scream, and the soldier who saw him off also fell to the ground hard with a cry of surprise.

"Good archery, you can hit the head of a galloping horse with one arrow from such a long distance." The captain couldn't help shouting.

Xing Shan didn't say a word, but shot two more arrows, and the remaining two horses also fell to the ground.

"Go and capture the three of them, and return to their orders." Xing Shan said.

"Look at me." The captain yelled, and rushed over with his men and horses. When he reached the side of the soldier, he bent down and grabbed the soldier who didn't understand what was going on. On horseback.

The action is smooth and smooth, in one go.

It can be seen that the equestrian skills are not bad.

This is the advantage of bodyguards joining the army. Almost all of them can ride horses and have experience in horse battles. They don't need to train for too long to form combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, it is impossible for a cavalry to train without a year of effort.

"Let's go back." Seeing this, Xing Shan immediately took the troops back.

After a while, Li Xiuyuan got a letter.

On it was Qian Zongbing's autographed letter, all written in polite words, and finally said that he would withdraw from Jinling City today, and asked General Li to come and receive three thousand soldiers.

"Wang Ping, look at how hypocritical these stupid officials of the imperial court are." Li Xiuyuan handed the letter to Wang Ping: "Do you know that General Qian has already set up an ambush to kill me?"

After reading it, Wang Ping said with emotion: "The intrigue in the imperial court is more sinister than the fighting in the rivers and lakes. The robbers are looking for money. Some moral robbers will not harm human life, but this Qian Zongbing But it’s all about murdering Brother Li.”

"So, it's not that I don't follow the rules in the officialdom, but that they don't follow the rules. They have their own rules, and I wish I could follow their rules. How can this work?" Li Xiuyuan said with a faint smile: "According to Their rules are how to play them, so I have to have my own

Rules, let them follow my rules. "

"The method is a bit rough, but it is very effective."

Li Xiuyuan pulled out the Tai'a sword from his waist, raised his arms and shouted: "Chief General Qian wants to set up a Hongmen Banquet to murder me, so follow me to break through his barracks today, and capture this general soldier Qian alive. Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed on the spot."

"Drive~!"

The dragon horse under his crotch neighed, and immediately galloped out. At the forefront of the army, the cavalry behind him suddenly became imposing, roaring loudly, and rolling towards the sky.

Wang Ping and several other accompanying scholars and staff members just followed behind and did not rush over.

"This battle can be avoided. Why did Brother Li lead his army to the barracks? That is the imperial army, not a rebel army. Some people will be killed or injured in this attack." A scholar was a little puzzled.

Wang Ping understood Li Xiuyuan, but he was unmoved. He shook his head and said, "This is not right. Brother Li is setting up his own rules. He is telling the generals of the world that no matter your official position, as long as you want to murder I will fight back without hesitation, and I will never follow the rules in the officialdom.
, the official rank crushes people to death, asks for perfection after being wronged, and drags out an ignoble existence. "

"What if the court investigates it?" The scholar asked again.

Wang Ping pondered for a while and said: "Brother Li is not a pedantic person, I'm afraid the court has already been bribed by him, after all Brother Li has a lot of money, and money has always been the favorite of corrupt officials. As long as there are corrupt officials in China who are willing to take money to do things, nothing is unfair, so Brother Li also
It is often said that the corruption of the court also has the benefits of the corruption of the court. "

"Bribing corrupt officials is even more demeaning, but I can still understand Brother Li if he does what is necessary when necessary. If Brother Li didn't give money when he was in Guobei City that day, the floods and plagues would not be quelled." "The scholar is not a person who doesn't know how to be flexible, he just expresses what is in his heart.
It's just emotion.

"No matter what brother Li does, what he wants to do will only make the world better and better. If he follows the rules of the imperial court and does things step by step, he may die without doing anything." Wang Ping said: "This It is the biggest gap between us and Brother Li, so he can lead the army to quell the chaos,
We can only join the army and serve as staff. "

"Favourable, not everyone can become a master." Several other staff scholars nodded repeatedly.

And right now.

In Zongbing Qian's military tent, he ordered all the generals in the army, and the personal guards polished their swords and sharpened their blades, and everything was arranged properly.

Rang looked at the two rows of barracks on the left and right outside the army tent. They were all surrounded by swordsmen and axemen, and there were even three thousand bowmen nearby.

When Li Xiuyuan walked outside the military tent, all arrows were fired, shooting him into a hornet's nest.

"A guerrilla general dares to blackmail and threaten me, and I will let you die here today." Qian Zongbing sneered, "I heard that all the wives and concubines in your house are as beautiful as flowers. After killing you, I will let you die here." The commander-in-chief wanted to see if she was really as beautiful as a flower, and that ten-year-old lady was very good.
Let you know how stupid what you did yesterday. "

Thinking of his iron-like layout, he felt a little proud.

His own scheme is really perfect, and Gu Zhi Fan Zeng is probably no more than that.

Satisfied in his heart, he couldn't help but picked up the teacup and took a small peck, patted his thigh and couldn't help humming a ditty.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

But when he was humming the ditty, he suddenly felt a vibration coming from the chair he was sitting on, and there was a burst of roaring outside.

It's like a flood, no, it's more like the movement brought by galloping horses.

"What's going on outside, who is training soldiers and horses?" Qian Zongbing asked.

All the partial generals in the military tent shook their heads to show that they were not training soldiers and horses.

At this time, a soldier panicked and rushed in from the outside with a terrified expression, shouting: "My lord, it's bad, the big thing is bad, there is a large army rushing to the barracks outside!"

"Boom~!"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of the gate of the barracks being knocked to the ground sounded outside, as well as the exclamation and screams of some soldiers, and the outside seemed to become chaotic in an instant.
