Liu Yucheng did not allow Yun Zheng to return to Dujiangyan that day, and specially arranged a banquet at home to invite him to a banquet.

The old man was very stingy, saying that it was a feast, but in fact, there were two plates of vegetarian dishes, one of which was a disgusting lotus dish that the people of Shuzhong had eaten.

"There is nothing good to eat in winter, you will have some, the old man has to clean up his stomach recently, eating a little light thing is good for the body, your young heart, proper maintenance is still necessary."

Liu Yucheng warmly invited Yun Zheng to eat, Yun Zheng had to grit his teeth and pick up the rice, planning to forget about it, but Liu Yucheng kept putting vegetables into his rice bowl, and the boiled black lotus root was all in Yun Zheng's bowl, and he ate the relatively delicious egg custard slowly.

Knowing that the old guy was taking revenge, he chatted with those officials very happily today, and it could even be said that he was in full swing, and he himself admonished those officials dryly, and naturally no one wanted to talk to him more.

"Just say what you want, you are the top boss of the lowly position, and you rushed over when you ordered the lowly position to be not Baba. There is no need to take lotus vegetables for humble duty. ”

The old man put down his chopsticks and took a deep look at Yun Zheng and said, "The old man should sit on you, what are you going to do?" Ready to sweep away the thieves in Shu? Are you going to let the court know that Shuzhong is a place where there are many thieves? ”

Yun Zheng pushed away the dishes and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Not only are we thieves in Shu, but also the entire Great Song Dynasty?" Three or five strongmen who occupy a mountain dare to set themselves up as kings, I heard that Taihu Lake, Dongting These lakes are the princes of Mafubi.

Humble is a person who is unwilling to bully the people, and wants to keep his subordinates fed and clothed, but he can only take the thief to open the knife, are you unwilling, and you are not the kind of hypocrite who only cares about his own name and ignores the life and death of the people. ”

Liu Yucheng knocked on the rice bowl and said: "What a big high hat, the old man is naturally not a hypocrite, and he still has the confidence to study for many years." I just want to ask you, Wu Shengjun is like a tiger out of the cage, are you sure you can hold it yourself? 12,000 people pass through the state, and you are not afraid of going wrong? In case of a mutiny, a hundred of your heads will not be enough to cut off. ”

When Yun Zheng heard this, he wanted to hit his head on the table. Why is it so difficult to communicate with the natives of the Great Song Dynasty?

Liu Yucheng saw that Yun Zheng's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't it right?" ”

"Of course not!" Yun Zheng roared angrily: "Who has nothing to do and send 12,000 people to exterminate the robbers of 100 people? The subordinates want to make money, not to lose money, and the Luzhou prefect is not stupid, if more than 10,000 people are sent to fight the robbers, they might as well let the robbers rob, who is willing to hire Wu Shengjun? ”

Liu Yucheng was stunned for a moment and smiled: "It seems that the old man has drilled the tip of the horns, come on, remove the food eaten by these subordinates and serve it again!" The old man wants to treat his subordinates. ”

A group of maids came up with their mouths covered and grinning. In a moment, the table was full of delicacies, and the porcelain was replaced with the best, Liu Yucheng personally poured wine for Yun Zheng with a wine jug, and said as he poured: "I thought you had other thoughts, and the old man didn't dare to show his wealth." lest your army pass through the place where there is no grass, and there will be no coffin board in the future.

Since you really want to suppress the bandits, the old man will naturally be happy, if you can return a bright and clear man in Shuzhong, do not leave the road behind, and do not close the door at night, the old man will be happy even if he dies immediately. Let's talk about it. What a charter. ”

Yun Zheng took a sip of the wine in the cup and said with a smile: "Training soldiers, collecting money, and raising soldiers, these three menial duties are planned to be done at one time, first the most elite Jiazi battalion was dispatched to exterminate the bandits entrenched between Luzhou and Yanzhou, these people have long been fat by robbing salt merchants for many years." The people's grievances are also great, hehe, the dispatch of a thousand Jiazi battalion generals is enough to wipe out the bandits between Luzhou and Yanzhou.

In this way, a large amount of money will be brought back, and the lowly will distribute this money to the sergeants, so that those soldiers who have not gone to suppress the bandits will be completely blushing. The so-called people die for money, birds die for food, and those soldiers will definitely move forward bravely if they have money to take.

Haha, who is the best robber in the world? It's the army, we are the largest violent group in the Great Song Dynasty, organized, disciplined, with advanced weapons, sophisticated armor, and a steady stream of logistics, where do you say that thieves dare to compete with us, black eats black, it is a lowly training strategy, and only the army that has seen blood will have a murderous ......"

The beads of sweat on Liu Yucheng's forehead crackled down in the cold weather, and he stammered: "Are you using the bandits' set to train your subordinates?" Aren't you worried about training a team of orcs?

The former Tang An Lushan, Shi Siming, Huang Chao, and those murderous beast soldiers during the rebellion of the late Tang Dynasty are a lesson from the past, this matter must not be, if such a situation occurs, the old man will not be blind even if he dies. ”

Yun Zheng saw that the old man was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Do you know why the lowly position is willing to call his subordinates still Wusheng Army, and unwilling to name it the Young Army?" ”

Liu Yucheng drank a large glass of wine and was shocked before asking, "Why?" ”

Yun Zheng slapped his chopsticks on the table and said, "Because they don't deserve it!" The real youth army should be strict in military discipline, it is the real soldier of the Great Song Dynasty, it should be like its own family to its own father, and it is as ruthless as the cold wind sweeping the leaves to the enemy. ”

Liu Yucheng asked in confusion: "Since you know in your heart what kind of army you want, why do you still rely on money to stimulate these soldiers, can't you train them well?" ”

Yun Zheng leaned on the table decadently and said: "Don't you look at what the imperial court has given me, soldiers, criminals, homeless farmers, bankrupt small merchants, beggars, do you think that the humble function has trained these people into real soldiers?" You're looking too highly of me, too. ”

"And where did your boys' army come from?" Liu Yucheng also lay on the table, supported his body with his arms, approached Yun Zheng and asked in a low voice.

"Those dolls in the barracks, from the first day of the Wusheng Army joint camp, I have consciously improved the treatment of children, their treatment is the highest in the army, and the lowly duty must unite them, teach them literacy, teach them martial arts, teach them how to march and set up formations, how to fight bravely, how to use the most advanced weapons, know what honor is, what is courtesy, righteousness and shame, ten years later, you can talk to me about what is the Youth Army!"

Liu Yucheng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You are now planning to open the wildness of these martial arts soldiers and soldiers, and rely on their greed for wealth to form an army that can conquer and fight?" How to control the wildness? ”

"Simple, that is, layer by layer control, the soldiers of the Jiazi battalion are lowly pro-army, and they will be dispersed to each army as the commander and the head of the army, and they will control the entire army, supplemented by strict punishment and strict laws, so that they will not be able to control it."

Liu Yucheng nodded and said, "It's quite reliable, but you haven't thought about what the Yanyan princes in the court think of your army?" They don't give you a chance to talk like old men. ”

Yun Zheng laughed and said: "Now that the southwest is unstable, Annan and Dali are eyeing the Great Song Dynasty, and they think that the Great Song Dynasty will definitely have a big war with Annan or the Duan clan of Dali."

Since this army came into being, it will inevitably be in the limelight in this war, and I firmly believe that a beast army full of slaughtering cities and destroying the country and making a fortune, if it does not move at this time, when will it be dispatched? ”

Liu Yucheng nodded frequently and said: "Once you make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, you will inevitably be bleeding, and those people in the court will definitely order these people to unload their armor and return to the field out of the intention of guarding against the rebellion, so that you can train the real martial arts army from scratch." It's wonderful. To put it bluntly, the current Wu Shengjun is making wedding clothes for the future Young Army, and the money they have accumulated is just right to equip the Young Army! Does the old man understand you so much? ”

"You are worthy of being a rich scholar and a talented person, and you are said to be in the heart of the younger generation, but this matter is also asked to keep the Ming Duke a secret, talk to you, and the humble position naturally knows everything and says everything, but for the princes in the court, it is better to keep some." Yun Zheng was a little sad when he spoke, and his voice couldn't help but feel sad.

Liu Yucheng patted Yun Zheng on the shoulder and said: "Since you have made up your mind, the old man will gamble once, and they all say that young people are angry, middle-aged people are angry, and old people are angry.

Yun Zheng, be optimistic about your beast army, don't let them leave your control range, otherwise you and I will definitely end up in a hundred years......"

The two of them didn't speak*, you drank a glass of wine with me, and the dishes on the table didn't move, when Yun Zheng left, Liu Yucheng was already drunk, lying on the table and muttering: "Beast Army...... Beast Army ......"

No matter how drunk he was, it couldn't dispel the worry in his heart......

Yun Zheng was also drunk, staggered out of Liu Yucheng's house, was blown by the cold wind in winter, and immediately hit a spirit, looked in the direction of the door, sighed, and ordered the monkey and Han Niu: "Order Liang Ji to return to the camp overnight, we are not suitable to stay in Chengdu Mansion, at least not now......"

The monkey went to the outside of the mansion to inform Liang Ji, Han Niu accompanied the young master to see the direction of Huanhua Creek, and after waiting for a while, the sound of messy horses' hooves came, Yun Zheng looked at Liang Ji, who was still as strong as an iron tower, and said: "From tomorrow, the wartime military law will be implemented, and the Wusheng Army will only be considered a real army if it survives this threshold." ”

Liang Ji, who was sitting on a high horse, hugged his fists and promised, Yun Zheng rode on a big green horse with the help of Han Niu and galloped towards Dujiangyan, now is the time when the hearts of the people in the entire military camp are the most floating, and he doesn't dare to leave lightly......
