In the eighth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, the first day of the third month.

"King, here!"

Guo Tiannu rushed into the room where Zhao Kai was and shouted loudly. Zhao Kai was looking through the official documents sent by the Hebei Transit Envoy and the Hebei East Road Tidian Criminal Prison Division—the former was the payment of the spring tax and the accounts handed over to the Marshal's Office, while the latter was the relocation and resumption of work in the capital (weapons factory).

The situation of both is not ideal, so Zhao Kai's brows have been furrowed. Hearing Guo Tiannu's voice, he put down the official document in his hand and glanced up at her.

Guo Tiannu was wearing a red round-necked narrow-sleeved long coat, with a black head on her head, and a wide belt around her waist, which made her a little thick waist a lot slender (Guo Tiannu is tall and looks thin, but if you look closely, she is still very strong, otherwise she won't be able to be a female warlord!). ）。 There is also a straight knife hanging from the belt, which is made of Khitan iron, which is extremely sharp.

"What's coming?" Zhao Kai smiled and looked at Guo Tiannu and asked.

"Elite soldiers! Three or four thousand elite soldiers were brought by the eldest brother of Captain Liu! ”

Little Liu Taiwei pointed to Liu Qi, his eldest brother's name was Liu Xi, who was originally a Xuanzan Sheren, when Zhao Kai left Bianliang, he did not follow his brother Liu Qi to take refuge together, but stayed in Kaifeng Mansion to continue to be Xuanzan.

However, he did not stay in Kaifeng Mansion for too long, and in February, he was caught by Li Gang on a messenger out of Beijing, risked his life to break through the encirclement of the gold thieves, and sent a blind command of the holy decree to the seed master Taoist army stationed in Luoyang, Xijing at that time.

The content of this holy decree is to order King Qin's Western Army and King Qin's Hebei Army to fight together to relieve the siege of Fengfu.

Therefore, the master sent Liu Xi to contact Zhao Kai's army...... And after Liu Xi got the order of the seed master, he did not leave for Hebei immediately, but waited in Luoyang for a while.

It wasn't until after the seed master Dao, Yao Gu and others went east that they came to Xiangzhou slowly.

When he met Zhao Kai in Xiangzhou, Liu Xi didn't mention much about coordinated operations, but recommended to Zhao Kai a rebel army that was very unsatisfactory in Luoyang...... What is the 3,000 brave people raised by Li Xiaozhong, a local tyrant in Xihe, who scattered his family property!

Liu Xi told Zhao Kai that as long as he could pay the 3,000 salaries according to the standards of the forbidden army, and then give 1,000 leading foot armor, 400 leading cavalry armor, and 1,000 divine arm crossbows, he would be able to bring these 3,000 people to Xiangzhou.

At that time, Zhao Kai was searching for troops everywhere, so he agreed to Liu Xi, and promised that after inspecting the soldiers and horses, if he met expectations, he would seal Liu Xi and Li Xiaozhong as one person and one horizontal shift.

"Already there? It's coming fast enough! ”

Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, immediately stood up, and then strode out of the study, and then came out of a large mansion in Huanshui Town, ten miles north of Anyang County.

Huanshui Town was originally a large town in Xiangzhou, and there were thousands of households before the invasion of gold thieves, but when Zhao Kai arrived in Xiangzhou, it was completely deserted, and there was not a single resident.

So Zhao Kai was not polite, and directly took his army and military dependents to occupy Huanshui Town, and dug a large circle of trenches outside the town to enclose a large piece of territory.

He planned to build a wall of sheep and horses in the trench, dig another inner trench, and erect a circle of forked rows of wood in the inner trench. Then, the area in the fork row wood is divided into the city camp area, the dependents area, the workshop area, the warehouse area, the horse farm and the school field.

It is to turn Huanshui Town into a camp in Xiangzhou, and prepare to rely on it as a big stronghold to resist Jin and save the Song.

These days, the construction of the Huanshui camp has not been completed, and the entire camp is a large construction site, and busy people can be seen digging trenches and building fortifications everywhere.

At the same time, a large number of soldiers and their dependents have been inhabited in the camp, as well as many Xiangzhou recruits who have just entered the camp.

During the day, there was a lot of people's voices, the labor trumpets of the people, the cries of the generals during training, the cries of the recruits when they were beaten with sticks, the sound of horses' hooves as they entered and left the camp, and the sound of the craftsmen of the Metropolitan Institute when they made iron saws. It's all mixed together, and it's so hot.

When Zhao Kai took Guo Tiannu and a team of cavalry to ride through the school field, the veteran He Guan was training the recruits there with his two sons and a group of young officers selected from the Wei Fuya army! It's not a difficult project, it's the most basic standing queue and walking queue.

The children of peasant families in tens of thousands of Xiangzhou, wearing gray-white linen jackets, stood in a team of more than 100 people under the sun of March and spring. At the front of each square was an officer in a black hat and a long coat, carrying a stick, and his eyes showed a cold gaze. Let the recruits below not dare to move, and try their best to straighten their waists, bulge their chests, and raise their heads. Seeing Zhao Kai passing by, no one dared to move.

However, Zhao Kai knew that it wouldn't be long before these Xiangzhou soldiers would be swaying...... And then it's time for someone to get beaten!

After the queue training in the morning, I had to practice martial arts in the afternoon. The folk customs of the Xiangzhou generation were relatively martial, and most of the peasants were physically strong. Therefore, the difficulty of their martial arts practice is not high - many of them have practiced, they can draw bows and shoot arrows, guns, sticks, knives and axes, etc. It's just that what we have to learn now is not to practice alone, but to fight. Therefore, it always takes a few months of training before these Xiangzhou soldiers can go into battle to kill the enemy.

At that time, the troops in Zhao Kai's hands will be relatively abundant.

But war waits for no one!

The seed master sent people to urge every three forks and five times, or what kind of imperial court is preparing a decisive battle, and will use the soldiers of Kaifeng to join the soldiers of King Qin, and annihilate the 100,000 gold thieves who have hit the city of Kaifeng Mansion hard......

How do you look at this thing, how unreliable!

The seed master must not know that there are still 100,000 gold thieves in the city of Kaifeng Mansion!

That's 200,000 gold soldiers...... How to win?

Therefore, Zhao Kai can only pray that the decisive battle in Kaifeng Mansion will come later these days, and at the same time try to gather some troops who can fight.

Unfortunately, it didn't work!

If Liu Xi can really bring 3,000 capable soldiers from Luoyang, it will be a great achievement.

Just when he was thinking of this, Zhao Kai had already left the gate of the Xiangzhou camp!

"Look, your lord, how are those soldiers?"

Guo Tiannu's voice was already ringing in Zhao Kai's ears.

Zhao Kai hurriedly looked up and saw that the infantry of the brigade had reached an open area a hundred steps away, and was spreading a phalanx in an orderly manner. The cavalry was on the sides, and the infantry was in the center.

"Your Majesty," Guo Tiannu said again at this time, "Look at those infantry troops, everyone is armed with spears, walking bows at their waists, and big swords with rings on their shoulders...... This is a good soldier who is prepared for three battles! ”

The so-called three battles means that a soldier has mastered the three combat skills of knives, guns, and bows, and he must carry these three weapons at the same time.

In this way, they can undertake three tasks on the battlefield at the same time, such as long-range strikes, spear assaults, and hand-to-hand combat, and their combat efficiency can be greatly improved.

Most of the elite soldiers in the era of cold weapons can do "three battles", and a considerable number of them have also mastered the ability to ride and shoot and ride horses to charge into battle, which is equivalent to "five battles", if the physical strength is extraordinarily outstanding, you can put on two or three layers of heavy armor to attack!

Looking at the soldiers and horses in front of him, Zhao Kai also showed a rather satisfied expression.

This is the soldier he wants!

Just thinking about it, he saw several knights coming out of the military formation in front of him, riding their horses and galloping to Zhao Kai, and then dismounted and saluted together.

Zhao Kai recognized one of the men in his thirties with white skin, slender phoenix eyes, and three locks of beard, who was Liu Xi, who was the Xuanzan Sheren of the Gate, but he didn't recognize the two people who came with Liu Xi. He didn't wait for the three of them to report their names, so he smiled and said to Liu Xi: "Yu Jue, I can look forward to you!" Oh, who are these two? Who is Lee Seung-kyo (Lee Hyo-chung is Seung-joung). ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw a strong man beside Liu Xi with deep eyes and beard, dark complexion, and a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and opened his mouth with a smile: "King, the minister is Li Xiaozhong!" Then he pointed behind him, "These 3,000 soldiers are all Longxi Erlang recruited by the minister's own family, and everyone is a strong man, and they are willing to die for the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Kai nodded again and again, "Li Chengjie, let's do it together, fight the gold thief together, destroy the Hulu, and smash the gold thief's lair together in the future!" ”

Li Xiaozhong is obviously very close to Zhao Kai, and when he sees this king, he feels cordial, and now that he listens to his words, he is more motivated, and immediately bows, "The minister is willing to kill the thief and destroy the capture with the king!" ”

"Good! This is a good man! Zhao Kai nodded again, and then he looked at a middle-aged man in his forties who came over with Liu Xi and Li Xiaozhong, this person was wearing the green robe of a civil official, but he was carrying a straight knife at his waist, and there was no black veil on his head, but it was a cross-legged head often worn by martial artists.

Zhao Kaifa asked, "......Who is this official?"

The man crossed his hands and said: "Chen Hebei West Road to appease Liu Ziyu, the military counselor of the envoy department, see the ...... of the king"
