In the secret room guarding Wang Daoqi's house, Wang Daoqi and Zhang Degui, the shopkeeper of Daguang Cloth, sat at a short table and sat on both sides. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The candlelight jumped and swayed, illuminating the faces of the two of them quite strangely.

Zhang Degui took out a very delicate box and handed it to Wang Daoqi respectfully, with a smile on his face at the same time: "Lord Garrison, this is a little care given to the adult by Lord Fan, there are 5 East Pearls, 200 taels of gold, 2 jade Ruyi handles, and 10 good wild ginseng。。。。。。 ”

"Master Fan looks up to such a small guard of a certain family so much, but he has good intentions." Wang Daoqi smiled, but did not show much joy. He interrupted Zhang Degui's words, but carefully put away the box handed over by Zhang Degui.

"Let's say, Lord Fan gave such a heavy gift, but what did he want Wang to do?" Wang Daoqi glanced at Zhang Degui, who kept sneering, and said lightly.

"Lord Wang, you and I have such a friendship, let's put it bluntly, Lord Fan very much hopes to use the hand of Lord Garrison to get rid of a mortal enemy of Dajin." Zhang Degui smiled. 、

"Oh, Lord Fan is so shrewd and capable, but how can he ask my little guard to help get rid of the enemy?" Wang Daoqi looked surprised.

"Yes, it is really the most suitable to get rid of this person and ask your Lord Wang to help." Zhang Degui followed closely.

"Dare to ask Shopkeeper Zhang, the person that Master Fan wants to get rid of, but that Li Xiao, who recently beheaded 43 heads?"

"That's it! It's hateful to think about, I originally expected this guy to have to belong to Lord Wang after being banished and not returning. But I didn't expect that this person would be so capable, and without pulling out food and salary, he didn't know how to use to raise his own funds, not only did he starve and collapse, but he even pulled up a cavalry team and beheaded 43 of my Dajin soldiers! Master Fan said, if you don't get rid of such stubborn villains, I will not be able to sleep in peace. ”

When Zhang Degui said this, his face tightened, and he sighed.

"Lord Fan asked Wang to do this, but it is difficult to do." Wang Daoqi's eyes shrank into a slit, and he said with a frown.

"Why did Lord Wang say this?"

"Shopkeeper Zhang doesn't know, that Li Xiao has been famous all over Liaoxi since he won so many heads, and he is favored by all the officials in the army, but now he is a very popular person, and it is too risky to do it at the height of this person's fame."

"What does Lord Wang mean?"

Wang Daoqi sneered: "In Wang's opinion, Master Fan should not be too anxious, and let this Li Xiao be proud for a few more months, and it is not too late to wait for the limelight to do it, so even if Li Xiao dies violently, he will not pay much attention, so it is safe." ”

Zhang Degui was unhappy, but he couldn't refute Wang Daoqi, so he had to say: "This 。。。。。。 I also hope that Lord Wang will choose the right time as soon as possible and destroy that Li Xiao, so that he can give Lord Fan an explanation. ”

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Zhang, although my Wang is reckless, he also knows the truth of taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others. You can go back to Lord Fan and tell him that in a few months, Wang will definitely give him Li Xiao's head! ”

"Good! Then I wish the king a successful victory in one fell swoop, and get rid of this thief for me! ”

Zhang Degui then got up and said goodbye to Wang Daoqi.

Wang Daoqi sent Zhang Degui out of the door with a smile on his face, and when he walked away, a smile appeared on his face, and he was full of coldness.

At this time, Ren Guangyuan, the captain of the family, and Hua Ji, who had just come to join him, both walked out of the secret door next to them with blue faces.

"You all heard the conversation between the official and the shopkeeper Zhang." Wang Daoqi still stared into the distance and said lightly.

"My lord, this Lord Fan has a good plan, and wants to get rid of Li Xiao with the help of an adult, but he is very vicious." Ren Guangyuan snorted and said in a low voice.

"The golden tartars have made a good calculation, so that Lord Wang can take the chestnut in the fire, and they will watch the fire from the other side and enjoy the results, which is really sinister." Hua Ji frowned deeply and interjected in a low voice.

Wang Daoqi showed a wry smile on his face, and he let out a long sigh: "I can't imagine that in the past, my Wang family's business dealings with Tartars have now become a deadly noose around my Wang's neck!" Alas, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and this official regrets it. It's a pity that now that I'm on this thief ship, I have to go all the way to the dark. What a job. ”

Wang Daoqi said, shook his head again and again, and looked helpless.

Ren Guangyuan and Hua Ji looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's hateful, the official finally got rid of that Gao Pu, and before he could take a breath, an even more troublesome Li Xiao came out. I, Wang, am I guilty of Tai Sui, it's really unfavorable. Wang Daoqi said, and his face was even more sad.

When Hua Ji heard Wang Daoqi speak like this, he became more and more resentful in his heart.

Thinking of his own intentions, he betrayed the sentry cavalry and brought the chief Gao Pu to Wang Daoqi, intent on trying to lead the sentry cavalry, but finally killed Gao Pu by the hand of the Tartars, but let this damn Li Xiao pick peaches.

Now Li Xiao has drawn all the remnants of the Sentinel Cavalry to the Pier of No Return, and he has become a complete bare-rod commander! Especially a few days ago, this guy also returned to Zhongtun with his men and horses, and under the floor of the noble room, he actually dug up more than 1,000 taels of silver, which made him stunned.

Unexpectedly, he has been with Gao Pu for so many years, but he has never trusted himself and never told himself this secret. And that Li Xiao, who has been in Zhongtun to join the army for three months, has been able to get Gao Pu's trust so much that he handed over all this secret savings to him. Thinking of this, Hua Ji's heart was like ten thousand ants biting him, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for Li Xiao.

Hua Ji wanted to kill this damn Li Xiao more than anyone else, and how many times in his dreams, Hua Ji cut off the head of this dog in the countryside of Jinzhou who had been suppressed on his head.

It's just that this strong thought was pressed in his heart by the very powerful city, and he never showed it to anyone.

Today, in the dark room on the side, hearing that Houjin sent the shopkeeper Zhang to persuade Wang Daoqi to kill Li Xiao, Hua Ji was ecstatic and wanted to rush out of the dark room, so that Wang Daoqi hurriedly agreed.

It's just that he heard Wang Daoqi's tone later, and knew that although Wang Daoqi also hated Li Xiao very much, he would never make a rash move in the absence of a suitable time to make a move. So, Hua Ji tried his best to suppress the strong desire to kill Li Xiao in his heart, and followed Wang Daoqi's words and said that it is indeed not a good time to do it now.

Saying things against his heart like this, Hua Ji was extremely unhappy, but he was helpless.

Perhaps, he can create an opportunity in the future to induce that Wang Dodge to take action and get rid of that Li Xiao。。。。。。

"My lord, your future official position is really not easy to come by, please be cautious about getting rid of Li Xiao." While Hua Ji lowered his head and pondered, Ren Guangyuan said worriedly beside him.

Wang Daoqi nodded and sighed: "Guangyuan, what you said, I don't know what the official has in his heart!" Fang Cai's official spoke to the shopkeeper like this, which is really a delaying tactic, and depending on the situation in the future, I will make a decision later. ”

The three of them fell silent, except for the howling cold wind that passed through the hall, its sound terrible, like the strange laughter of a madman.

。。。。。。

When Wang Daoqi was painstakingly calculating Li Xiao, a wide open space outside the pier was in full swing.

It turned out that in the past week, Li Xiao ordered Tian Wei and Mo Changrong to recruit more than 120 displaced soldiers and 280 displaced family members from all over Jinzhou to the Pier of No Return to replenish the losses of the last battle, and at the same time, expand his army.

This time, so many displaced soldiers were recruited, but the number of family members was much smaller.

This is because, in the severe cold weather in Liaodong now, a large number of old and weak people have died of cold and starvation, and only these young people are still struggling on the verge of death.

Being able to be selected into Li Xiao's army can be called a chance to survive that fell from the sky for these displaced people, and for them, this hundred household official Li Xiao is simply like a Buddha in ten thousand families.

After the displaced people were recruited to the pier, the plasterers were unable to carry out the work due to the cold weather, and they all temporarily lived in temporary sheds made of straw boards. Although the living conditions were worse than the brick and wood rooms of the families of the displaced people who came early, they were much better than sleeping on the streets, and Li Xiao provided them with enough coal and wood for heating, and for a while, they lived without worry.

After the displaced people settled down, Li Xiao began to arrange for them to supplement the formation.

The most important addition is, of course, the most important cavalry team in Li Xiao's army.

After the last battle with the Tartars, plus a group of lightly wounded soldiers who survived, the number of Li Xiao's entire army was, 16 Xuanhu cavalry, and flying harriers

11 people, 5 people from the remaining original Zhongtun sentry station.

In the last battle, Li Xiao lost a total of 10 war horses, and there were still 23 available, plus 27 war horses captured and 2 more war horses bought, the number of horses available to Li Xiao was 53.

Li Xiao decided to make use of all the 53 war horses, of which 14 were supplemented by the Xuanhu cavalry, and the total number of heavy armored cavalry was set at 30. The Flying Harrier added all the 5 sentinels of the original Zhongtun Station to it, and added 7 more people, bringing the total number of light cavalry to 23.

Then, Li Xiao appointed the captain of the Xuanhu Cavalry as Tian Wei, the deputy team as Mo Changrong, the captain of the Flying Harrier as Wang Yishou, and the deputy team as Duan Shidi.

In the last battle, Li Xiaojun captured 6 pieces of fine white lacquer stainless steel silver armor, 10 pieces of ordinary iron armor, and 34 pieces of cotton armor. He ordered the Xuanhu Cavalry and the four captains and deputy captains of the Flying Harrier to all wear white lacquered silver stainless steel bright armor, and the replaced iron scale armor was reserved for the new heavy cavalry. The iron scale armor worn by the 7 cavalrymen who died in the last battle was also allocated to the Xuanhu Cavalry, and with 3 pieces of ordinary iron armor, the armor of the heavy cavalry was replenished.

The remaining 7 pieces of ordinary iron armor and 5 pieces of cotton armor were rationed to the Flying Harrier. In this way, except for the 10 pieces of horse armor that Xuanhu rode had not yet been put in place, the armor of the entire cavalry team was assembled.

It's just that the focus of Li Xiao's expansion this time is not the cavalry team, but a newly formed infantry team.

This is a decision made by Li Xiao after thinking about it repeatedly.
