Chapter 65: Bargaining

The happy time passed very quickly, and two days later, Xiao Yao said goodbye to the two little beauties who were crying and full of reluctance, and took the fire dragon battalion to the camp of the forward battalion.

When he came to Cheng Wenji's main general's barracks, there were already two young men in military uniforms standing there, one of whom was Huang Wenyuan.

"See General Cheng, call me over this time, presumably my soldiers have arrived!" Xiao Yao saluted and smiled.

"Come on, Shiro, let me introduce to you, this is Huang Wenyuan, the son of General Huang, who previously served as an infantry officer under General Huang's account, and I heard that you already know each other. Ha ha! "The first martial prince of Jinling went to the lake to catch fish for the first person in Jinling, and such a strange story has long spread throughout Jinling, and of course Cheng Wenji has heard about it.

Huang Wenyuan didn't care about Cheng Wenji's ridicule, but had a little more respect, bowed to Xiao Yao and saluted: "Humble Huang Wenyuan, I've seen Captain Xiao!" ”

"Yo, I know that I respect my boss, yes, there is progress!" Xiao Yao also nodded slightly to him and said.

"Haha, I know that you Xiao Shilang has the ability! There is also this, Zhang Dabao, the son of the cavalry general Zhang Zhaoda, was previously an infantry captain of the Eastern Route Army and a fierce general under General Xu Jingcheng! Cheng Wenji continued to introduce to Xiao Yao.

"Humble Zhang Dabao, I've seen Captain Xiao!" Zhang Dabao's tone was stiff, and he saluted coldly, his face was full of dissatisfaction, and there was a trace of anger!

"Dabao, General Zhang is my old boss and General Xu, and you can be regarded as our brother! I also told you just now, although Captain Xiao is young, his ability is outstanding, and you must obey Captain Xiao's command in the future! Cheng Wenji said to Zhang Dabao, obviously he had told him a lot before.

"Hmm." Xiao Yao replied coldly, and also saw his dissatisfaction and anger, after all, he was already a captain, but now he suddenly gave a person younger than himself as a subordinate, only a thousand people, it is estimated that he can only be a military candidate, this kind of transfer equivalent to a demotion is of course infuriating.

Seeing the scene a little embarrassing, Cheng Wenji broke the cold: "Hehe, you must have a little temper when you are a soldier!" In the future, when you get acquainted with it, you will be able to exert strong combat effectiveness! Okay, you guys know each other, you two go out first, Shiro, you stay first, I have something to tell you! ”

"Retire from your duties!" Huang Wenyuan and Zhang Dabao withdrew from the study.

"Shiro, they all say that you have the ability. In a few moments, this Huang Wenyuan softened. I believe it won't be long before you can submit this Zhang Dabao! Cheng Wenji said with a smile.

Xiao Yao waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this, anyway, how I train them in the future, don't interfere, don't say that I don't give face to these old generals!" ”

"Your stepfather has told us this, of course we will support it! Hey! Cheng Wenji showed a lewd smile.

"What's the matter with such a lewd smile?" Xiao Yao asked vigilantly.

"General Wu thinks about it, but he still thinks that in terms of crossing the river, requisition your Fire Dragon Battalion!" Cheng Wenji's tone of voice became lower and lower, the dignified regular army actually wanted to requisition other people's private soldiers, it was too shameless.

"I knew you had always wanted to beat my Fire Dragon Camp!" Xiao Yao said disdainfully, "You can requisition the Fire Dragon Battalion, but you have to have conditions!" ”

"On what terms?" Cheng Wenji immediately asked.

"First, I want to fight freely! It's that I will give you the result you want, but how to fight, not to mention you, the forward commander, even General Wu can't interfere with me! ”

"Okay! will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected! I get the truth! ”

"Second, I won't hand over the loot!"

"No, there is a law in the army, and if it is captured on the battlefield, it will all be handed over, and it cannot be hidden!" Cheng Wenji immediately refused!

"That's okay, but you'll pay for the cost of the Fire Dragon Camp! You can't let us work without paying! Xiao Yao also knew that they couldn't agree to this condition, so they just tested them first.

"This 。。。。。。" Cheng Wenji was a little hesitant.

"Forget it, I'm not difficult for you, I know that General Wu was embarrassed to come forward to find me a small lieutenant to requisition my private soldiers, and directly transferred me to the navy to cross the river to fight, and I felt that it was a bit overkill, so I asked you to pass on the word! But you're not good at negotiating, so you know that the dragon battalion uses gunpowder weapons! You just tell General Wu that I can lend you the Fire Dragon Battalion, but the money must be said well, whether it is to compensate me with the spoils of war or to allocate it to me from the military expenses, in short, you must have money so that the Fire Dragon Battalion can exert their might! Xiao Yao got straight to the point, just to give him money.

"You have a point! Then I'll discuss it with General Wu again! "Cheng Wenji is relieved, damn it, bargaining with this kid is more difficult than attacking the city!

"Then you guys have a good discussion, my soldiers have also arrived, I'll go and see first, remember, don't interfere with my training!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out, and it was the same thing not to be Cheng Wenji's boss at all.

。。。。。。

Xiao Yao summoned the two captains of the Fire Dragon Battalion and Huang Wenyuan and Zhang Dabao for the first meeting of the infantry battalion.

"This is the artillery captain Li Nong, this is the musket captain He Fu, although they are my private soldiers and have no military status, but in the future, the fire dragon battalion will cooperate with the infantry battalion, so you must understand each other and respect each other!" In fact, this sentence was said to these two officials and the second generation.

"Yes! Captain Xiao! The two second generations of officials responded in unison.

"By the way, in the infantry battalion, you are going to call me the commander! For I want you to obey my commands! When you get back, you have to teach your soldiers, and tomorrow I will hear them all call me Commander!" This is your first mission to the infantry battalion! ”

"Yes! Commander! "Huang Wenyuan's brain is spinning fast!

"Huh?" Xiao Yao stared at Zhang Dabao.

Zhang Dabao struggled in his heart for a while, clenched his fists, and said slowly: "Yes!" Commander! ”

"I know you have a lot of doubts, a lot of grievances, and even a lot of anger in your hearts, but I tell you, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders! In my infantry battalion, there is no why, only yes! Xiao Yao said sonorously.

"Yes!" All four answered at the same time.

"Excellent! The child can be taught! Now tell me about the soldiers you brought. Wen Yuan, you talk about it first. Xiao Yao looked at Huang Wenyuan and said.

"Yes! The 500 elite soldiers I led were selected from the infantry battalion of the Western Route Army, and I was the commander of the infantry battalion, and I followed the infantry battalion to fight dozens of battles! Huang Wenyuan straightened his back and replied.

"Dabao?" Xiao Yao looked at Zhang Dabao, don't say it, this name is quite pleasant!

"Yes! The 500 elite soldiers I led are the main force in the infantry battalion of the Eastern Route Army, I am the infantry captain, the deputy commander of the infantry battalion, and I led this infantry elite to follow General Xu for five years, and there have been countless battles! Zhang Dabao said proudly.

。。。。。。

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, I also have a general understanding of you! Tomorrow, in addition to teaching them to call me commander, you will also prepare tactical drills, so that I can take a good look at how you fight! After listening to their detailed situation of their team, Xiao Yao also had a preliminary plan in his heart!
