Chapter Seventy-Five: The Green Forest Army (1)
Yongbei camp, inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
Guo Qi sat on the handsome chair, holding a snow-white handkerchief and constantly wiping the dragon tooth war knife in his hand, and Guo Qi's appearance was clearly reflected on the knife.
"Lord, Chen Feng is here." Li Wu reported to Guo Qiyu after entering the account.
"Let him in!" Guo Qi inserted the dragon tooth war knife back into the scabbard and said.
"Humble Chen Feng, meet the lord."
"Here, sit down!"
"Thank you, Lord."
"It's been a few days since you entered the Tooth Guard, how do you feel?"
"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern."
"Where's home! Chenjiazhai is okay! ”
"With the care of the lord, the days of Chenjiazhai this year are much better than in previous years, and the big guys are well fed and warmly dressed."
"Take a few days off for you, buy some good food and drink in the next two days, go back and see your family; By the way, invite your brother and the owner of the 36th village, and say that the king misses them, and everyone comes to Yongcheng to gather. ”
"No! Commanded by Humble Duty......"
After leaving Guo Qi's Chinese army tent, Chen Feng immediately returned to Chenjiazhai non-stop; At the same time, people were sent to send invitations to the owners of the rest of the villages, inviting them to come to the meeting.
"Brother, I don't understand too much, what do you mean by this? Why did you suddenly ask me to go to Yongcheng? Chen Shan paced back and forth in the lobby.
"Let you go, you go! The lord can't do anything to you. Chen Feng immediately said: "Brother, don't forget, the Chen family's cottage has been doing so well this year, but it's all because of the lord." ”
"Of course I do." Chen Shan said thoughtfully: "But the Green Forest League is not just us, what the lord wants is for the owners of the thirty-six villages, whether people are willing to go or not, our brothers can say that it doesn't matter;
You also know in your heart what the Green Forest Alliance is like, although it is an alliance, it is actually a basin of loose sand, and now your brother and I, the leader of the alliance, can't be ordered by anyone. ”
"It's not like that, all this has changed since the Green Forest Alliance returned to the lord." Chen Feng said: "But brother, I think this is an opportunity for us. ”
"Opportunity? How so? Chen Shan looked at Chen Feng suspiciously, and said, "Do you kid have any inside story!" ”
"I can't talk about the inside story, I just have some ideas of my own."
"Tell me about it."
"Some time ago, the lord had just defeated Xirong at Huangyang Pass, annihilating the remnants of Xirong's subdued tribe, but he let the leader of the subdued tribe run away;
How can we not repay the revenge of the extermination, maybe it won't be long before we move to the rescue to attack Yongzhou, and that is a good opportunity for our brothers to show their talents......"
"That being said, if it's not good to make a fuss, even we will get into it, and our Chen family cottage is just such a few people."
"Brother, as the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger; I think the lord is a man of great talent and great wealth, and once this difficulty passes, the lord will soar to the sky and have a great future......"
Chen Shan paced back and forth in the lobby in contemplation.
"Brother, this kind of opportunity is only once, if you miss it, you will miss it forever......"
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Chen Shan clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"The big master, the second master; Jia Dangjia, Cheng Dangjia and other village owners all went down the mountain. "A guy came in to report.
"Big brother, let's go and greet you!"
"Go, go, go...... It's time to take a look. ”
After welcoming everyone back to the lobby.
Jia Shen first said: "I don't know what the alliance leader is looking for us to come to? ”
"Chen Feng came back and said that the prince was going to summon us in Yongcheng, and I asked you to discuss the time for us to go to Yongcheng, and we can't go empty-handed this time! Would you like to discuss with you what kind of gift to bring? After all, this is a big event for our Green Forest Alliance. ”
"The summoning of the prince is a big thing, we don't delay too long, it's too late today, I think we all go back to prepare, how about leaving early tomorrow morning?" Jashin suggested very positively.
"Brother Jia is reasonable, I agree." Cheng Yong agreed.
"We agree with ......"
Seeing that everyone agreed, Chen Shanyan said: "Since everyone said that they will leave early tomorrow morning, let's do it tomorrow!" ”
After everyone left, Chen Feng said to himself, "What's wrong with this Jia Shen? Why was he so active as soon as he heard the summons of the prince. ”
"Jia Shenke is an ambitious person, he is not so active to get the appreciation of the prince, with the support of the prince, this Green Forest League is his; Hum! Chen Shan said coldly.
"Shameless Villain ......"
"Alright, don't talk about it; I need to hurry up and pick a gift for the prince......"
——————
Two days later, the backyard of Yongcheng Palace.
Li Wu came to report: "Lord, the thirty-six village masters of the Green Forest League have arrived. ”
"Good, good...... Don't run around. Guo Qi hugged the little white wolf in his arms and said, and put it on the ground after speaking.
"Let them in!"
"No!"
"Meet my lord." After everyone came in, they saluted Guo Qi.
"Get up! You're welcome. Guo Qi said with a smile; Someone served tea. ”
"Do you know what this king is calling you in so anxious for?"
"Please also ask the Lord for teaching?" Xu Shan said.
"Some time ago, this king checked the population registration book of the Green Forest League; It really scared the king! I didn't expect that there were so many people in the Green Forest League, and there were more than 37,000 men, women, and children together, which was enough to make up a war army. ”
After Guo Qi finished speaking, he glanced at everyone with his peripheral eyes, and found that there were various expressions among them, such as fanaticism, excitement, shock, and loss.
"My lord, do you mean to recruit troops from the Green Forest Alliance?" Jashen said urgently.
"Yes, this king intends to establish a Green Forest Mansion army, with a strength of 1,200 people, and all the soldiers and officers will be selected from the Green Forest Alliance." Guo Qi looked at everyone and said: "This army is different from the tooth guards, hussar guards and soldiers of various provinces under the command of this king;
This king knows that you young men of the Green Forest League are flying quickly between the ravines as if they were walking on the ground, and this skill is something that outsiders will not be able to learn for a while, so this king intends to build the soldiers of the Green Forest Mansion into a light infantry army, each equipped with chain mail, bows and crossbows, arrows and war knives, and specializes in sneaking up on the enemy between the mountains and forests......"
Guo Qi finished his idea in one breath, and saw that several people were drooping their heads, so he asked, "What, aren't you all interested?" ”
"Lord, there are some strong guys in our village, but if they all come to be soldiers, there will be no one to guard our stockade." A village owner said
"Yes! Send these strong guys out, what can we do in our village? We have a small village, and there are only a few people in total......" said another.
"That is, if someone comes to storm the cottage at that time, we won't even have room to protect ourselves."
……
Listening to the objections of several people, Guo Qi's face immediately darkened.
"Since a few village owners don't want to participate, forget it, our Jiajiazhai is willing, it's a big deal that in the spring of next year, I will move the old and weak women and children in our village to Yongcheng; Besides, if you become a soldier, the lord will pay you every month, which is better than hunting in the mountains and forests, and eating the last meal but not the next meal! ”
