New Wagang

Chapter 996
"Go to know the military division, and let the military division take the uninjured or injured soldiers and horses of the imperial court in Sishuiguan, as long as anyone who is willing to follow the old general to Jiangdu, whether it is a general or a soldier, as long as they are willing, bring them to the gate of the city. , and equip the horse armor and swords and guns according to the regular soldiers and horses, there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!" Boss Lei was obviously taken aback, and he couldn't help but stare at Yuwenba and Zuo Tiancheng. Zuo Tiancheng's old face suddenly turned red a lot because of being stared at by Boss Lei at this moment. Originally, Zuo Tiancheng's face was red and bloody, but now it was as if the blood was directly congested under the skin. Yu Wenba who looked at it was worried that the blood would burst out so abruptly.

"Old General, please." Yu Wenba stood up and cupped his fists at Zuo Tiancheng, saying: "We might as well wait outside the city gate first to see how many soldiers are willing to go to Jiangdu with the old general. "

"Everything is arranged by the king." Zuo Tiancheng became respectful at this time. After this period of contact, Zuo Tiancheng was faintly impressed by Yuwenba's personal charm, and felt that this person was indeed extraordinary!

The two left the mansion, and outside the city gate where Yuwenba's personal guard camp escorted them all the way, they saw that many generals had gathered here, but there were obviously very few soldiers. One general saw Zuo Tiancheng Arriving hurriedly came forward to report: "General, except for the guards and horses, the other soldiers are not willing to go with us to Jiangdu."

"What?" Zuo Tiancheng might think that Daxin Kingdom was behind the scenes if people from Daxin Kingdom said such things, but the person who said this was Zuo Tiancheng's confidant, Zuo Tiancheng couldn't help being startled at the moment, and glanced at the general in front of him With very few hundreds of famous soldiers, most of them are soldiers and horses of his own personal guard battalion, the feeling of loss in his heart is simply indescribable.

Zuo Tiancheng asked himself that he is a general who loves his soldiers like his son, and he handles affairs fairly and strictly with the army. The military discipline is clear and orderly, but why are there so few troops willing to follow him at this time?
Looking at Zuo Tiancheng who was in a daze, Yuwenba also sighed inwardly, he had to say that Zuo Tiancheng was definitely a well-known and prestigious general in the Sui Dynasty.

But this time is no longer that time, or in other words, if the ones who captured Sishui Pass were replaced by other anti-king soldiers, more people would leave with Zuo Tiancheng. The choice between the Great Sui Dynasty, I believe many people will choose Daxin Kingdom.

What's more, Daxin Kingdom has always been tolerant of captives. Those who are willing to surrender and join the army can be recruited. A commoner is also a citizen of Daxin Kingdom. The rich life of the people of Daxin Kingdom is not only in Wagang, but also in barren lands like Xingyang Lanzhou Prefecture, Daxibei and even three counties. Now they are well-fed.

Therefore, at this moment, more generals choose to follow Zuo Tiancheng than soldiers. The reason is that soldiers are soldiers everywhere. They must choose better ones, but the generals are different. Those who still want to be officials freely choose to follow Zuo Tiancheng Well, as long as Zuo Tiancheng is alive, he will be an official wherever he goes.

"Old general, take care all the way." Yuwenba personally led the horse for Zuo Tiancheng, Zuo Tiancheng stared at Yuwenba, turned on the horse and led the rein and took two steps, then reined in the horse's head and looked back at Yuwenba, finally Throwing away the reins, he clasped his hands towards Yuwenba and said:

"Believe in the kindness of the king's great benevolence and righteousness, I will keep it in my heart. If there is such a day in the future as I believe in the king's words, I will definitely live up to my kindness!"

After finishing speaking, Zuo Tiancheng returned to his horse and swung his whip away, followed by those generals and hundreds of sergeants, and disappeared on the official road after a while.

Back in the mansion, Yu Wenba had just sat down, Xu Shiji followed in, and was about to speak, when a soldier came to report and deliver a letter, Xu Shiji took it and opened it, overjoyed, said: "Xin Wang, This is the news of the great victory in Youzhou City. General Shang Huaizhu's explosive pack finally broke through the north and south gates of Youzhou City twice, led the soldiers of the Great Xia Kingdom into Youzhou City, and captured Liu Heitai and the Turkic General Hu Langa, Youzhou City has been taken over by the soldiers of the Great Xia Kingdom."

At the end of the speech, Xu Shiji's voice was a little low, Yu Wenba couldn't help but looked up, smiled and said: "Mr. Mao is worried that the Great Xia National Congress will guard accordingly, and learn from that Yan Wang Luo Yi?"

Seeing that Yuwenba didn't seem to be worried at all, Xu Shiji grinned and said, "Youzhou's city walls are strong, and with Jizhou's response, if King Xia really wants to do it, it will be really difficult."

"Maogong is the more cautious the wealthier the family is." Yuwenba said again with a smile: "Even if Dou Jiande had the idea of ​​occupying Youzhou and cooperating with Jizhou to stand on his own, but after seeing General Shang Huaizhu's method of breaking the city Afterwards, I believe that I gave up my thoughts, there is no need to worry about this matter, and it will be clear when we sort out the current affairs and go."

Xu Shiji also nodded at this time, and suddenly thought of the previous incident, he said: "Ji only learned that brother Zhuludu let go of the backer king, and before that he let go of Zuo Tiancheng, it could be that the backer king agreed. Return to my Daxin country."

As for Xu Shiji, Yuwen Ba didn't want to hide anything, so he immediately told the key points of what he said to Yang Lin, the backer king, on the small slope. "My brother cares about the people of the world, it's really a blessing from the heavens. If my brother really detains Zuo Tiancheng, the backer king, then Jiangdu will be in chaos. If you let this opportunity go, then not only will many soldiers die innocently, but the people of Jiangdu and Chang'an will also be caught in a new flame of war."

"En." Yuwenba was very pleased that Xu Shiji could understand what he did.

"Now my Daxin has more than 80 soldiers and horses. If you add the soldiers and horses under the command of the various commanders, it would already be as many as one million." Xu Shiji sighed as he said, "Daxin Kingdom has already occupied the entire north. In order to guard against our Daxin soldiers and horses, the Turks have already retreated hundreds of miles to the hinterland of the grassland. That is to say, if we attack the grassland, we may not find a single person within a hundred miles. It can be seen that the Turks are indeed not Dare to have the intention of confronting me Daxin again, but I don't know what my brother plans to do next?"

"Repair the soldiers and horses, and wait for the news of Fang Jianghuai." Yuwenba glanced at Xu Shiji.
