"How many soldiers do we have now? Is there enough food and grass? ”

Zhengzhou, Guancheng County, Cui's family compound.

Cui Junxuan looked at Pan Zhenyue, who came to "report to work", and asked.

Pan Zhenyue arched his hand and replied: "Back to the old lady, in the past two months, we have recruited a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses secretly and openly!" The young men inside and outside the city have basically all been evacuated by us, plus the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the state capital and the 30,000 secret guards of the Cui family, we have a total of 250,000 soldiers and horses! As for the grain and grass, the Boling Cui family and the Xingyang Zheng family, they are not willing to contribute manpower, but only material and financial resources, so our grain and grass are very sufficient, enough for the needs of 250,000 troops in January! ”

"Humph! Bolingcui? Xingyang Zheng? It's all old foxes! ”

When Cui Junyu heard this, he snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction, thought about it, and said, "Regardless of the two of them first, they are all things that see the wind and make the rudder!" After we take Luoyang, they will bring their soldiers and horses to the door themselves! ”

"Too wise and wise!"

Pan Zhenyue arched his hand and agreed.

The family is very profitable, and the Boling Cui clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan are now only tied to the same warship because of interests, and they are far from the level of living and dying together!

"Tomorrow's pledge meeting, try to recruit some more people, as long as they are under the age of forty, they can be recruited, some people are not in good physical strength, let him charge into battle! The city of Luoyang is tall and strong, and it always needs to be filled with human lives! Remember, the soldiers and horses of the Assassin Mansion and the secret guards of the Cui family must not be used to play forwards! ”

A cold light flashed in Cui Jun's eyes, and then said coldly.

Pan Zhenyue felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Yes!" Old lady! ”

Cui Junsui nodded, and said: "However, the masters of the rivers and lakes that the Cui family has cultivated over the years, this time they can be transferred for you to send, although these people are strong in martial arts, but they are simple-minded, and they are far from being generals, but if they are used to do some assassination, or as the vanguard of the front of the formation to attack the enemy's formation, they should still be competent!" ”

Pan Zhenyue was very excited when he heard this, most of the people under him were mediocre, and he was in need of that kind of martial arts master, so he arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your trust!" ”

"Have Ye Minglei and Wei Zheng found it~?"

After a moment of silence, Cui Junxuan suddenly asked.

Wei Zheng was originally a thorn in his heart, but Ye Minglei, who disappeared mysteriously yesterday, planted a thorn in his heart, making it difficult for him to sleep!

Pan Zhenyue arched his hand a little embarrassed, and said, "Back to Taigong, the students sent people to rummage through Guancheng County, but they couldn't find Wei Zheng and Ye Minglei!" ”

Cui Jun was stunned for a long time, sighed helplessly, and said: "If you can't find it, forget it, they should be hiding in some unknown corner, and they will not affect the overall situation, and they will make every effort to prepare for tomorrow's oath meeting!" ”

These words sound like he is comforting others, but only Cui Junqiu himself knows that these words are comforting himself!

"Yes!"

……………………………………

"Wen Hao, how is it? Isn't it a little unaccustomed? ”

On the official road from Chang'an to Zhengzhou, tens of thousands of troops stretched for several miles, and were advancing rapidly, and the soldiers ran and walked for a while, without rest in between, this was the ancient rapid march!

Meng Wenhao and Tie Dan received some preferential treatment because of Li Zexuan, they didn't have to walk, but rode horses.

Tie Dan is as flexible as a monkey, and it is easy to ride a horse, but Meng Wenhao has never ridden a horse, and then he had to ride with Pang Feiji, at this time, Tie Dan looked at Meng Wenhao, whose face was pale, and asked with some concern.

Riding a horse is no better than riding a carriage, and the bumps on a horse will only be more powerful, the army has only moved forward for more than thirty miles, Meng Wenhao was a little dizzy, and when he heard Tie Dan's concern, he forcibly pulled out a smile on his face, and said:

"I'm fine! Tiedan, how many miles have we walked? ”

"Twenty or thirty miles, right? Wen Hao, if you insist on persevering, it is estimated that after a while, the army will stop to rest and bury the stove to cook! ”

Tie Dan looked at the sun that was almost overhead, and then said.

"Oh!"

When Meng Wenhao heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said a little strangely: "Tiedan, why do I think that you seem to be very familiar with marching and fighting?" ”

Tie Dan smiled and said, "I listened to my father, he often told me about his previous wars in the north!" ”

"Oh~! I see! ”

"The general has an order, the officers and men of the three armies are repaired in situ, and the men of each battalion bury the pot to cook, and after an hour, the army will start and continue to march~!"

"The general has an order, the officers and men of the three armies are repaired in situ, and the men of each battalion bury the pot to cook, and after an hour, the army will start and continue to march~!"

Coincidentally, while the two were talking, a herald soldier came from the front of the line, riding on horseback, and shouting as he ran.

…………………………

March 30 of the second year of Zhenguan.

Henan Province, Zhengzhou, Guancheng County.

Early in the morning, the soldiers of the government went from house to house, telling all the people to assemble at a school in the east, and all men, women, and children, must go!

"Liu joins the army, do we really all have to go?"

In the south of the city, in the rented house where Liu Renliang and others lived, a big man asked Liu Renliang.

The officers and soldiers have just left here!

Liu Renliang frowned, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Go!" If we don't go, it is estimated that this place will be surrounded by the soldiers and horses of the state capital by then! But Wei Zuocheng and Ye Xiancheng definitely can't go, I'll talk to them in a while, let them hide in the tunnel! Oh, Old Feng, I heard before that you would be disguised? Can you help me tidy? The king of the county government has seen me, and he can't let him show it~! ”

Old Feng's real name is Feng Wu, he was originally a captain of the Assassin's Mansion, and he is almost the second-in-command in this team now, hearing this, Feng Wu was a little embarrassed and said: "Hehe! Liu joined the army, it was all bragged about by me before, and it is called disguise to the best of the word, but in fact, it is to stick a few beards on the face and make a few folds, which is not disguise! ”

Liu Renliang was choked, relieved for a long time, and said helplessly: "Stick the beard, stick the beard, as long as you don't be recognized by the king's master!" Lao Feng, move faster! ”

Feng Wu suddenly came to his senses, and he said excitedly: "Okay! Liu joins the army, you just take a look! Hey! ”

Half a quarter of an hour later, Liu Renliang brought a basin of water, and looked at the fierce man with a stubbled beard and a hideous scar on his face reflected on the water, and he suddenly had the mind of picking up a knife and slashing people.

"Liu joins the army? Liu joins the army? How is my Lao Feng's craftsmanship? Look at you, this scar is painted just like the real thing, and your mother won't recognize you when she sees it! ”

Lao Feng didn't have much eyesight, and he was still complacent next to him.

"Get out~!"

Liu Renliang was furious, suddenly raised his head and roared.

Lao Feng was immediately frightened and fled.

"This king's book is really in the way, if it weren't for him, how could it be so troublesome? I have to find a chance to get rid of this guy~! ”

Liu Renliang pinched the beard on the side of his mouth and muttered in a low voice.

..

In the east of the city, on a school field.

In the past month, Guancheng County is only allowed to enter and not to go out, and those unaware farmers in the Zhuangzi outside the city can no longer go out once they enter the city, and today they are also driven to this school field!

"Stand in line! The men stand on the left, the women stand on the right, and the children under the age of ten and the elderly over forty stand at the end~! ”

There are thousands of armored sergeants patrolling the school grounds and maintaining order.

"You stop?"

Suddenly, a sergeant stopped a middle-aged man.

The man trembled and said, "Master Jun, you called me?" ”

The sergeant said coldly, "Where are you going?" How old are you~? ”

"I'm fifty-four this year!"

The man said with a panicked expression.

The sergeant was furious: "Fart! Come on, take him to Lord Sihu to verify his identity, if he lies about his age, he will directly cut off his head and feed the dog~! ”

Suddenly, the two soldiers behind him rushed up and grabbed the middle-aged man!

"Spare your life! Commander! I'm not going to lie anymore, I'm going to stand in front! ”

The middle-aged man's face was suddenly filled with fear, and he begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Humph! Sure enough, he deceived the general, and dragged it down and cut it~! ”

The sergeant said with a cold look and no mercy.

When Liu Renliang came to the school field, he saw such a scene, a similar situation, more than this time happened today, the people were much more honest under such deterrence, and few people lied about their age and sneaked to the back.

"How many of you? Where do you live? Why don't you get to the front of the queue? ”

After the sergeant finished playing his prestige, he noticed Liu Renliang and the others, and shouted again.

Liu Renliang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This general, I am not locals, we came to Guancheng County to help Boss Zhou escort a batch of goods in Bianzhou last month, and then we couldn't get out of the city, so we have been living in Wuningfang!" ”

"From out of town?"

The sergeant's eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he said again: "General Ben seems to have heard about you, so how many of you are there?" ”

A bad premonition rose in Liu Renliang's heart, but he still replied stubbornly: "There are two hundred of us!" ”

"Two hundred? Ok, good, good! You're just standing here, and you're all coming to me after Lord Thorn Shi has finished speaking, do you hear me? My surname is Huang, and I joined the army in the Assassin's Mansion! ”

The sergeant stroked his hands and laughed.

Liu Renliang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd, but he didn't want to make trouble here, so he had to say, "Yes!" Huang joins the army! ”

"Hmmm! That's pretty much it! ”

The sergeant nodded in satisfaction, and then walked back away.

On the other side, on the platform in front of the school field, several people full of luxury appeared.
