Chapter 40: Let's Compare

"You kid, fortunately, you're not in the war zone now, it's okay to drink two more glasses, if you're fighting, see if I don't have military justice for you!" Kang Yan laughed. 【Net】

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, this is the main topic.

I only heard Kang Yan say slowly: "Luxi ground bandits are everywhere, for the people of one side, long live the people deeply feel the suffering of the people, and specially ordered me to lead the troops to exterminate and relieve the people from hanging upside down!" ”

"I led the troops to this side for ten days, and I felt that I didn't know where to start, and I suddenly heard that the two went deep into the thief's cave and pulled out the deeds of the three villages, and they were admired in the next good life. This is the only way to send someone to invite, originally in the next should be to follow the example of the ancients to look at the thatched house, but the army is busy with chores, and it is really lacking! ”

"Big ...... My lord...... You're drunk, you've destroyed two cottages! Zhao Yang said with a big tongue, this guy looks strong, but the amount of wine is very poor, and he can't tell the north and the south after three glasses of wine.

Kang Yan looked at Zhao Yang: "You kid, you are drunk!" I'm sober, you don't know, Haohangang was also destroyed the night before yesterday! ”

I was a little surprised, it seems that the net he cast out is very strict, Juancheng and Haohangang are more than 200 miles apart, and there is also a way to the Yellow River, this news reached his ears in a day and a half.

Zhao Yang wanted to say something, but he fell drunk on the table.

"Wang Xiao, take him down!"

"Yes, sir!" Wang Xiao drank a good amount of wine, and his face didn't change a little after three glasses of wine, of course, he was more restrained, but Zhao Yang had seven or eight glasses of wine.

At the table, only me, Luo Rou and Kang Yan were left.

"The news of the adults is not confirmed, the first two are in the village, and the junior sister eliminated them alone."

Kang Yan didn't care about these things, and said: "No matter what, you have made great contributions to the people of Shandong, come, I will toast you two a cup!" ”

Luo Rou is very cold in front of outsiders, rarely speaks, and basically I am dealing with things.

After a toast, Kang Yan said: "The two are strong in martial arts, but they are unwilling to bend their waists for five buckets of rice, I admire them so much, the two of them are unwilling to commit to the army, and they don't dare to force it." But I still want to ask the two of you to help me in front of the people who are suffering in Shandong. ”

I looked at Luo Rou, this is a good opportunity, and it can be regarded as a win-win! Yesterday we were still having a headache about how to disintegrate Xiaoliang Mountain, but now with the help of the army, we should be able to succeed immediately! Luo Rou also realized this and nodded at me.

I looked at Kang Yan and said, "We can agree to what the adults say, but I have a question I want to ask the adults!" ”

"You want to know how I know about the Kyushu Dart Bureau?"

"Yes!"

"I know from my scouts that the two of them are investigating the robbery. This matter is not as simple as you think, this matter cannot be done by the people of Xiaoliangshan alone, they are inextricably linked with a certain high-ranking official in the capital, they are a group of thugs! ”

"What?" I was shocked, how could he even be involved in the high-ranking officials in the capital, not to mention, that person has to be called a "high-ranking official" in the mouth of a second-class official in his hall, so how prominent is this person's identity!

Kang Yan said the topic far away: "When the yellow water burst the embankment, Henan was hungry and starved all over the wilderness, thousands of miles of red land, and the imperial court pulled out 300,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, and ordered Liu Haorui, the secretary of the household department, to go in person, and the military department sent 300 elite soldiers to escort it. But when he arrived at the disaster area, he didn't see Lord Liu, and the silver for disaster relief turned into stones. ”

"Lord Liu guards and steals?"

Kang Yan slapped the table: "Nonsense, how can Lord Liu do such a thing!" ”

"Yes, under the gaffe!" I quickly confessed my mistake.

"Actually, the last dart that Mr. Luo took was the real disaster relief silver. These are also the news that Master Cheng found out and only learned after many investigations. You may not know Lord Cheng, he is Cheng Sheng, the master of the military department and the general of Zhaoyi, and Lord Cheng was still a squire in the military department back then. ”

Kang Yan did not pause, and continued: "After the investigation of the adult, it turned out that Lord Liu was afraid that the silver would be lost, so he let one of his cronies go out of the capital with a fake disaster relief silver and rushed to the disaster area by land. He then found his friend, who is your chief dart leader, Miss Luo's father, and asked him to personally escort the disaster silver to the disaster area by water. That knows the news or is known, the disaster silver was robbed and Lord Liu was killed, and the Kyushu Dart Bureau came down from the head of the dart, and all Sun was killed at the same time except for you! I'm not wrongβ€”the prince? ”

My heart moved, he even found out my real name, it seems that he knows a lot, I didn't speak, acquiesced.

Kang Yan said again: "The land route arrived safely all the way without incident, but Lord Liu never appeared, and the silver also turned to stone, Long Live Lord was furious when he learned the news, and ordered all the family members of Lord Liu to be exiled, and many people who interceded for Lord Liu were stripped of their officials and demoted." ”

Luo Rou's hand kept tight, and I reached out to hold her hand and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Who's the person who leaked the news?"

"Lord Cheng didn't sue me, there is no solid evidence, and Lord Cheng is not sure. Perhaps, you can get some solid evidence from Song Sangong's mouth, but there is not much hope, these people will not leave any handle for themselves to do things! ”

"No matter what, I will let him speak, no matter who this person is, I will not let him go!"

"Are those two agreeing to help?" Kang Yan asked.

"It's incumbent!"

"Good! Then let's have a toast and wish us a happy cooperation and eliminate all the bandits as soon as possible! ”

"!" The three of them raised their glasses in unison.

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses the adults have returned this time!"

"Two thousand men in one battalion! In addition, I can also mobilize the garrison troops of Juancheng and several nearby counties, the total number of which is about 3,500 men, but the only ones I can really trust are the 2,000 men of this battalion I have brought, and these are all brothers who were born and died with me before. I can't trust those garrisons at all, whether it is their character or strength, I doubt it, if they have no problem with these two points, these bandits will not be murderous for more than ten years! But now with two, I can say that I am like a tiger with wings, I believe that it will not be long before all the bandits can be annihilated, and the people of Shandong will have a peaceful and prosperous world! ”

I said a few humble words, and after a while I dispersed.

Go to the guest room prepared for me and Luo Rou by Kang Yan and take a break. Nothing to say for a day.

The next day, he accompanied Kang Yan to the ten-mile garrison outside the city to inspect the army.

The morale of his army was high, and everyone was gearing up, and he would put down the bandits at the slightest order.

According to the order of the imperial court, a battalion should be 5,000 people, divided into 5,000 households, and 10 teams of 100 people should be set up under 1,000 households. However, in this eradication, the training system of troops is very different from usual. The actual strength was less than half of the strength of the normal battalion, and there were no 1,000 households, but the strength of each team was increased to 200 men. This battalion had 2,000 troops, divided into ten teams of 200 men each. Among them, five teams of hoplites, two teams of crossbowmen, two teams of bird guns, and one team of cavalry, which were Kang Yan's personal guards and his mobile forces.

The captain of the cavalry is called Wu Jungang, this is a northern man, with a big voice and a big temper, and his ability is estimated to be small, so when he saw Kang Yan treating me who was thin and weak and Luo Rou who was a woman, he was very angry in his heart, and he didn't shy away from anything, and said loudly in front of me: "General! This kid doesn't have two taels of flesh all over his body, what can he do? Why should you ......?"

"Presumptuous!" Kang Yanhan shouted with a cold face: "Come on, drag it down, ten army sticks!" His soldiers absolutely obeyed his words, and the two soldiers immediately stepped forward to escort Wu Jungang to the army.

Wang Xiao and Zhao Yang are Wu Jungang's deputies, the three of them used to be Kang Yan's guards, and their relationship has always been very good, when they saw that Wu Jungang was about to be beaten with a military stick, they hurriedly knelt down and pleaded for him.

Several other captains also stepped forward to intercede for Wu Jungang.

"Bastard, whoever dares to say more will be guilty of the same crime!"

"My lord, General Wu is straightforward and fast-talking, and he likes it very much, please spare him this time!" I said.

"This ...... All right! For the sake of Wang Gongzi and everyone's face, these ten sticks will be temporarily recorded, and if there is a recurrence, the punishment for the two crimes will be doubled! ”

"Thank you, sir!" After Wu Jungang thanked me, he said to me: "Boy, I am grateful for you helping me, but I still look down on you, do you dare to compete with me?" ”

"You ......" Kang Yan is also a little helpless against himself, the captain of the guard, he has this temper, unless I can win him in strength, otherwise he will definitely be in trouble in the future.

"If Lord Wu is interested, I'm willing to learn about it!"

"That'...... Good! "Kang Yan didn't see me make a move, and he didn't want to see my strength.

Zhao Yang knew my ability, and pulled Wu Jungang aside to persuade him to be careful, but Wu Jungang said disdainfully: "Old Zhao, we have fought dozens of battles, how can you go out and become like a girl, I can solve that kid with one finger." ”

Zhao Yang couldn't persuade me, he could only look at me, I understood what he meant, and nodded, which meant that I wouldn't hurt him.

Wu Jungang was born in cavalry and was skilled in archery and horseback, so he decided to test riding and archery in this competition.

"What's the point of a dead target!" Wu Jungang said suddenly.

"What does the general mean?"

"I'll shoot live targets with you, one person with three arrows, shoot at each other, there is only one judgment of victory or defeat, and if you don't get shot, you win. Rules are no rules, do what you want! ”

"Lord Wu is so arrogant, how can I sweep your interest, okay, I agree." Only in this case can the strength be truly fully displayed.

Of course, the head of the sword had to be wrapped in rhinoceros skin, otherwise it was likely to cause bloodshed and death.
