Chapter 32: What an oolong

Lingzhou, Hui Department

"Father, father, has General Wang promised to come to the banquet tonight?" Elle took Mari's arm and shook it, asking anxiously as she shook it.

Mali was almost stunned by her daughter, and said helplessly: "Agreed, agreed, look at your urgency, I have invited people several times for my father." ”

Ai Li also knew that her father had worked hard, but Qin Jun had too many rules, and it was not okay to pay attention to two things: this is not okay and that is not good.

Among them, the garrison is strictly forbidden to participate in the banquet outside, so Mali has hit a wall several times, and Wang Li has been kind and pleasant when he returns to the palace, so that Lao Mali can't find fault at all.

"Then how did my father convince General Wang Li this time?" Ellie asked curiously.

"What else can I say, first of all, we said that we have to thank the army when we go back, so we have prepared food for everyone, and it can't be regarded as a feast.

In addition, I also said that I would discuss with General Wang about guarding against another invasion of the Liukou, and General Wang reluctantly agreed. ”

Ellie frowned and said, "Isn't this the same as the original?" How did General Wang agree this time? ”

Old Mali's face also changed a little, and he was serious: "Actually, it's because a clansman found traces of rogues in the south the day before yesterday.

Although it was only a small number of scouts' horseshoe prints, the father also had to pay attention to it, and General Wang probably received similar news. ”

Elle was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Is it so difficult that the rogue is coming again?" Can we stop it this time? ”

Mali didn't know if the rogue would come, but he knew that it was the nephew and (god) grandson of the leader of the rogue who was caught last time, so it was impossible for the rogue to give up, right?

So Mali was silent for a while before he spoke: "It's not certain now, but you must be more careful recently, and if you can, you won't go out, only in this way can you reduce the pressure on General Wang and your father." ”

Elle was already a sensible big girl, so she nodded in agreement.

Then Ellie spoke again: "Then I'll go and see if the dinner is ready for the evening, and I must give everyone enough to fight and eat, so that I have the strength to fight the rogues!" ”

Mari touched her daughter's head and smiled with relief: "Ellie has grown up and can share her father's worries." ”

Ellie smiled sweetly, turned around and went out, Mali looked at her daughter's back, and her heart was like a mirror.

Mali said to himself meaningfully: "The children have really grown up and have lovers, but I don't know if there is love on General Wang's side?" ”

On the other side, Wang Li in the Qin military camp was also studying the news he had recently collected, and the more he looked at it, the more worried he became.

"Smack!" Wang Li slapped the bamboo tube secret letter on the table, frowned and said:

"The rogue's movements are so fast, and the scouts are still appearing in several places at the same time, it seems that they are prepared, and there will definitely be no shortage of people.

Zhao Duwei, what do you think, should we take the initiative? ”

Zhao Cheng thought for a while and hugged his fists: "Cheng was originally only a five-hundred-hundred-master, and he had few plans, so he didn't have any good ideas."

But Cheng knows the truth that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, so Cheng thinks that we should catch a few tongues first, and also set a set of tiger words. ”

Wang Li also nodded, Zhao Cheng's idea was indeed very safe, obviously referring to their situation.

After all, when the army came, it was lightly armed, and when it passed through the plateau, it encountered snow again, and a lot of materials were discarded.

If there is a large-scale attack, not to mention whether they have been fought or not, whether those captives will cause trouble, and the food and grass alone can crush them.

So Wang Li waved his hand to Zang Shuo: "Take someone to grab a few tongues, don't use too much, don't arouse the suspicion of the enemy." In addition, bring Li Guo and Li Yan over, and I want to question. ”

Zang Shuo didn't speak, just turned around and left with a fist.

After Zang Shuo left, Wang Li said to Zhao Cheng: "Your Majesty's decree, the imperial court has sent a large group of people to transport grain, and it is a new tool used, which is very efficient.

However, the selection and training of recruits is still continuing, except for the garrison of Sanguan and the Great Wall, Daqin only has men and horses in the capital and Hedong, so we basically will not have reinforcements. ”

Zhao Chenggang was actually pleasantly surprised when he heard the grain and grass and new tools in the first half of the sentence, after all, he was the first batch of people in the Qin army who had personally used the "Heavenly Thunder", and this new tool would definitely not disappoint, right?

But when he heard the back, Zhao Cheng's heart fluttered. No reinforcements! After all, there were too many places for Great Qin to defend now.

This is still the Sanguan Great Wall is strong, and it doesn't need too many people, if it doesn't have these, Daqin is afraid that he will squeeze out every labor force to go to the battlefield.

"General, do we still have the ability to strike first?" Zhao Cheng was worried.

"It's not easy to do, although we are all elites, but after all, there are too few defeats, even if we attack in an all-round way, we will inevitably be transferred from the mountain. However...... "Wang Li didn't say too much, but stopped talking."

After these days of training, Zhao Cheng also saw a lot, and then hugged his fists and said: "The two of us are just discussing, but the general says it's okay, Cheng will keep his mouth shut." ”

Wang Li also nodded, believing him: "In fact, I observed that most of the Liukou were peasants who couldn't get enough to eat, and they were forced to get on the thief ship.

In fact, such a person is most suitable for being a soldier, and in terms of obedience alone, the cost performance is far more than that of many children of small nobles.

Therefore, my Great Qin's ability to unify the six countries is overwhelming, just because our army is dominated by the people, and the generals must also work hard for the beheading of the people's soldiers.

The soldiers of the Six Kingdoms are for the obligation to the lord, and even if some can be rewarded, they cannot become high-ranking nobles like our military merit system.

So, why don't we try to bring down some of the rogues? Even if it's just the lowest-level miscellaneous soldiers, as long as we give more than the leader of the Liukou, I believe that many people are willing to serve Great Qin. ”

Zhao Cheng was shocked after hearing this, in fact, the Qin army had not surrendered the armies of other countries, but it was relatively early.

Since the beheading of meritorious service became more and more intense, the Qin army generally had two attitudes towards the captured enemy army: kill the merit or be relegated to the rank of concubine as a slave.

Therefore, the six countries hated and feared the Qin army to the core, and few troops took the initiative to surrender unless they had to, unless their lord led them to surrender.

Therefore, Wang Li's idea looks very reasonable, but it is to move the spoils of the army, you must know that if the prisoner is captured, it is the property of the army, but it has not been distributed to people yet.

Zhao Cheng asked uneasily: "General, is it appropriate to do this?" Will the knights agree? In addition, how can the loyalty of these rogues be guaranteed?

We can't afford to give them weapons, can we? Why don't we go and train some of the boys back in the club, I think they'......."

At this time, Wang Li suddenly raised his hand, interrupted Zhao Cheng's words, and said, "The weapons can be collected all, sent down before each battle, and then taken back after the battle."

And it's just to cut off the sharpened sticks for them, and the knights have armor, which is very difficult to break. It is also possible to use the form of a knight staring at several captives, and the captives are even more difficult to move.

As for the knights, let me say that the new army of martial cavalry is a model army, so it is natural to have an exemplary appearance, and it is not that he will not be credited in the future.

In addition, don't mention the matter of training the Hui Department, although the Hui Department is the feudal lord of my Great Qin, it is located on the border, and now it is free and scattered, and the military strength is low.

If you accept our training and add advanced technology, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not swell in the future, and oppose Daqin, so this decision can only be made by Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Cheng didn't have anything to say after hearing this, it seemed that Wang Li had been planning for a long time, and he could only obey orders.

Wang Li saw that Zhao Cheng was not very happy, so he opened his mouth to comfort: "Don't worry too much about Captain Zhao, tonight when you return to the ministry, you will send someone to labor the army, and invite us to the commanding envoy's house for a banquet."

When the time comes, I'll not talk to them a little more, and at least I can teach them how to defend against the rogues, which can help us somewhat.

And I heard that the daughter of Commander Ma is still waiting to be written, didn't General Zhao not marry a wife? If you can get married, then things will be easy to do. ”

Although Zhao Cheng was older than Wang Li, his temperament was far less open than Wang Li, and his face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't say a word.

"Hahaha!" Wang Li couldn't help laughing out loud when he looked at him like this, but he didn't know that he had made a big oolong.
