Chapter 54: Expedition!
The three of them talked again, Zhao Ming in the name of guiding martial arts, found Qilang, Hachiro and Yue Yun, he really wanted to confirm whether Yang Yuji's spear skills are as high as 100 points, in case Yang Yuji's 100 points of force in the bow technique, the spear skills are very average, without him knowing, send Yang Yuji out to fight, three or two people are cut and there is no place to cry.
At this time, Shichiro's force had 89 points, Hachiro 85, and Yue Yun 91.
Shichiro fought with Yoyuki and was defeated in twenty rounds.
Shichiro and Hachiro fought against Yoyuki and lost in fifty rounds.
After joining Yue Yun, the three small battles raised Youji, Yang Youji was a little difficult, Zhao Ming nodded, probably confirmed, Yang Youji's marksmanship is definitely not 100 points, as little as 93, as much as 97.
This person, it's better not to let him out to fight.
Moreover, Yoyuki probably relies too much on archery on weekdays, and there is a little less courage in hand-to-hand combat, and although the marksmanship is exquisite, there is always a lack of killing breath. This is completely different from when he picked up the bow, and his temperament is completely different.
When Yang Youji picked up the bow, he suddenly had a feeling that Lao Tzu was the best in the world, and he looked at people with slanted eyes just like when he was archery.
In the days that followed, Zhao Ming followed Yang Youji to learn martial arts and archery, and in archery, Zhao Ming had extremely high talent and made rapid progress.
Less than a month later, Jingzhou, which Mahan was in charge of, also sent back information. The king of Xiangyang in Jingzhou is also the object of Zhao Ming's attention, and this person is also one of his enemies.
Not surprisingly, Zhao Min, the king of Xiangyang, also had many Chinese heroes summoned by Zhao Ming.
Wang Shichong, Sima Fang, and Tian Hu all became subordinates of the King of Xiangyang, and the Wang family, Sima family, and Tian family were all Jingzhou clans.
Wang Shichong's subordinates, nephew Wang Renze, sister-in-law Wang Qingying, and sister-in-law Shan Xiongxin were all there, and to Zhao Ming's surprise, Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yantong, the two generals of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms in the late Tang Dynasty, actually became Wang Shichong's sons.
Under Sima Fang, Sima Bada already has four ministers serving in Xiangyang. They are Sima Lang, Sima Yi, Sima Fu, Sima Kui, and four younger ones who have not been able to come out at home.
Tian Hu's subordinates, Sun An, Bian Xiang, Shan Shiqi, Dong Cheng, Tang Bin, Qiong Ying, Wu Li, Zhu Jing, Niu Wenzhong, Qiao Daoqing, the most surprising is the uncle of Tian Feng, the famous strategist of the Three Kingdoms, and the recently born Tian Ji became Tian Hu's father.
This old Tian family, with Tian Feng's resourcefulness, Tian Ji's command, and Tian Hu's subordinates, has a group of people who can fight, but it should not be underestimated.
However, in general, the strength of these people in Xiangyang King is much inferior to Li Yuanlai, even if it is inferior to Zhao Ming's Longxi, but Xiangyang King has been fighting for so many years, and his subordinates are by no means more than these Chinese heroes, on the contrary, Zhao Ming's Wuwang Mansion, nine out of ten are Chinese heroes.
**In OSS, there are also Temujin, Qin Shihuang, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bang, and Empress Dowager Xiao who don't know where to go, and two of the four big Kou with a little strength also appeared, as well as Fang La and Liang Shan don't know where.
People, just don't talk about it.
Zhao Ming was still thinking about Liangshan, and Liangshan's matter came.
No, the angel of the court went to Longxi to announce the decree, ordering Zhao Ming, the king of martial arts, to exterminate the Liangshan bandits who were making trouble near the city of Ludiren.
Zhao Ming listened to this, and secretly said in his heart: Liangshan, one of the four great Kou, was born in the same place, isn't the Ludi Rencheng here the Jeju Mansion of the Northern Song Dynasty? No way! Do you want me to run from Longxi to the east to suppress the bandits? This prince really thinks about it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ming said: "Angel, my Longxi is in the westernmost part of Dayan, but the imperial court asked the Lone King to go to Ludi to suppress bandits, is this ......?"
The envoy of the court said: "Your Majesty also knows that King Wu is difficult, but the country is difficult to think of good generals, at this moment there is no one available in the hands of the court, and the performance of the generals of the counties in the first war of the state is unsightly, only the king of Wu is outstanding." The thieves of Liangshan in Nalu Land are in danger of water, and the local county guard has been defeated and returned several times, and the imperial court has also ordered others to exterminate them before, either defeated or returned in vain, this thief can not be exterminated by the king of martial arts. ”
Is this really what Your Majesty meant? Zhao Ming could only "hehe".
Zhao Ming said: "The angel also said, the Liangshan thieves took advantage of the danger of the water, where did my navy in Longxi come from to exterminate Liangshan?" ”
"This..."The angel was speechless for a while, thought for a while and said: "What the Son of Heaven means, Lord Wuwang can temporarily control the soldiers around Ludi, these soldiers and horses may be quite water-savvy, and can be used for conquest. ”
Zhao Ming sneered: "The angel is not playing with me, if those soldiers and horses are useful, where can the Liangshan thieves be presumptuous?" ”
The angel thought for a moment, and then said, "The Martial King can recruit five thousand men and horses locally, train them as water pawns, and return them to the Martial King's control, so good?" ”
Sure enough, the people sent by the prince can have some authority to move, and it seems that the prince is afraid that I will not go, so he deliberately let go of some conditions to induce me to send troops.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ming asked, "How many thieves are there in Liangshan now?" ”
The angel was a little uncertain and said, "Or one or two or twenty thousand, or two or thirty thousand, or three or forty thousand......."
Zhao Ming was speechless, how much is it? It seems that the information is unknown, and this angel is also confused.
Zhao Ming said: "If there are so many thieves in Liangshan, and the Lone King only recruits 5,000 men and horses, how can he afford it?" ”
Angel Zhengse said: "A little thief, how can they be able to defeat the Martial King Tianwei?" ”
Zhao Ming scolded secretly: I have a woolen Tianwei, if I go, presumably Song Jiang would like to capture me alive, so that he can negotiate with the court on terms and conditions.
However, Zhao Ming has some desire to go in his heart, he is not interested in destroying Liangshan, and he is not sure, but Zhao'an Liangshan is very sure, those who have read "Water Margin" know that Song Jiang is an official fan, and he has never boasted that he has never met him, and he really wants to do something in the court.
Song Jiang, he didn't have much interest, but there were a few people in Liangshan who he was interested in.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ming remembered something, and immediately asked the system in a whisper: "These born bigwigs, is it possible for me to surrender if the bigwigs are not dead?" ”
"Didi...... In this regard, most of the system abides by the original character relationships and character personalities, and the previous life was a diehard, and this life is very likely to be a diehard, except in a few cases. ”
Zhao Ming's heart was overjoyed, there were many factions in Liangshan, and those people he liked were basically not Song Jiang's faction, and this matter was feasible.
Although he thought so, Zhao Ming did not relax on his lips, and said: "In the previous war of merging states, nine out of ten of my 10,000 elites in Longxi were gone, and only a few hundred people returned to Longxi alive, and the angels should know, especially the cavalry, I have almost lost all in Longxi." Longxi is located at the border pass, it is impossible to do without cavalry, and King Gu used up the money and goods that His Majesty had rewarded me before before he re-established a cavalry. ”
Speaking, he paused before continuing: "But the Longxi arsenal has already bottomed out, the last time it was the emperor's brother Zhao Hao who gave me 3,000 sets of armor and weapons to gather enough 10,000 elites, and now my 3,000 cavalry lacks saddle armor, and the 10,000 horses recruited by the four counties are even more lacking in clothing and armor, and the number of arrows in Longxi is less than 100,000. These situations, a thousand things, the lonely king is really unable to send troops, and ask the angel to go back to show my difficulties in Longxi, let me cultivate in Longxi for a year or two, and the lonely king will be able to create an elite again, or go north to kill Hu, or go east to suppress the Kou, at that time, as long as the imperial court decrees, the lonely king has no words. ”
The holy decree is such a thing, others dare not disobey, but he Zhao Ming dares. At this point, Zhao Ming is learning from the king of Xiangyang, and the battle of Bingzhou, the land of Jingxiang did not send a single soldier, the king of Xiangyang did not dump the prince at all, and what can the prince do with the king of Xiangyang?
The current situation simply cannot tolerate the prince to tear his face with the king of Xiangyang and make trouble. That's why, this time Zhao Ming has also learned to be smart, he Xiangyang King, you don't move, and I am a good envoy of King Wu, right?
I won't go if I don't really give some benefits this time, resist the decree and resist the decree, can you still send troops to fight me?
The angel thought for a while before he said, "The matter of clothes, armor, saddles, and arrows, Lord Wuwang can replenish them in the Chang'an arsenal." ”
Zhao Ming said: "What about Bingyuan? The battle is indispensable to lose soldiers and generals, the previous time the royal brother allowed the Lone King to recruit troops in the four counties to supplement the people, my Longxi Qingzhuang is really limited, if this time to fight, please also ask the angel to allow the Lone King to continue to recruit troops in the four counties to supplement. ”
The angel said, "Yes, but you can only lose as much as you can make up for it." ”
Zhao Ming hurriedly said: "How can this be done?" As soon as my army leaves, Longxi will be empty, what if Qiang Hu comes to attack? ”
The angel asked, "How many people does Lord Martial King want to recruit?" ”
Zhao Ming said: "This time, the Lone King is determined to take 10,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 cavalry to go on the expedition, especially the cavalry to set off with the Lone King, Longxi is empty, at least 10,000 people must be recruited." ”
Bring 13,000 soldiers and horses, one is that Zhao Ming does not dare to underestimate Liangshan, and the other is to bring more people to the Black Chang'an Arsenal, weapons, clothing, armor and arrows are not cheap, if you don't take it for nothing, he can't wait for 30,000 soldiers and horses in Longxi to go to Chang'an naked.
"This..."The angel was a little embarrassed, and said: "Longxi has 30,000 soldiers and horses, this is the law of the imperial court, even the king cannot violate it." ”
Zhao Ming said with a smile: "The lone king is a dignified martial king, he should set an example and abide by the laws of the court. ”
Dissolution is disbandment, but these people will become reserves, Zhao Ming asked Fu Zhi to go to the four counties to recruit 10,000 horses last time, Longxi not only retained these 10,000 horses, but also gave them land to attract their families to settle in Longxi, which is completely population plunder.
Jia Xu shoveled land and raided his home, so that there were countless more ownerless lands in the hands of King Wu's Mansion, and it was not a problem to settle more than 100,000 people.
What's more, in addition to land, Longxi is extremely short of labor in new towns and pastures, and these people don't have to worry about starving when they come.
After these people are disbanded, if there is a shortage of soldiers in Longxi, these young men who have been trained can form an army as soon as possible. The reservists are not false.
When the angel heard Zhao Ming's assurance, he could only say: "In this case, this official will make his own decision and settle this matter, but Lord Wuwang is here, please send troops as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Ming patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the lonely king will do his best." ”
