"Li Sihai, this guy is making such a big fuss?"

"It's not impossible for others to clean up Ghaznavid, but to the point where he gets to the point, it's not possible to change people."

"Yes, the princes of Ghaznavid gathered more than 10,000 cavalry for him at once."

In the big tent of the Chinese army outside the Khan City, the generals and historians of various departments whispered about the news of the military newspaper not long ago.

After the two marshals Zhang Shanfu and Xu Wenhu routinely ordered the military meeting every day, Li Sihai, who was not present, became the protagonist. There are not many ships and sailors in the West Sea Division, but the Turks have suffered a lot of dark losses by relying on the tactics of artillery battles and sneak attacks, and there are always results in the military newspapers. Now Li Sihai has become the successor of the king of the kings of the Baiyi Dynasty, and he has recruited more than 20,000 horses in a short period of time, so that people can no longer ignore his existence.

"This guy, how can he be appeased by recruiting such soldiers and horses, can he afford to raise it?"

Even the old and serious Xu Wenhu is a little jealous of this guy. From the captain to the general, and then to the king of the kings of the Baiyi Dynasty, the light is like a rising star, especially when he often leads the sailors to attack the towns of the Romani Turks alone, and submits the Ghaznavid princes on a single horse. The veterans in the army secretly have the feeling that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

"Old Xu, you don't know," Zhang Shanfu said with a smile, "Li Sihai, this kid is a rich man." ”

"Oh?" Xu Wenhu glared, he seemed to be born to look at Zhang Shanfu unpleasantly, and deliberately said strangely, "I don't know that Bowang Hou Lao Li can afford to raise 20,000 cavalry, even if the Ghaznavids don't want military salaries, military rations, rewards, and have to buy tribal dignitaries, hum, it's not a small amount." "Ordinary sergeants and officers spread the news of Li Sihai's acceptance of the subordinates very mysteriously, as if this person was born noble, and Xu Wenhu, a general who has been in the world for a long time, knows that the most fundamental thing for the army to gather is food, even if you are Zhuge Kongming's resurrection, without food, the army will disperse. Therefore, it is not unusual for Li Sihai to be able to subdue the Ghaznavids, and he maintained an army of more than 20,000 horsemen without greeting the Protectorate Mansion, which surprised Xu Wenhu.

"Twenty thousand horses," Xu Wenhu shook his head, unable to figure out the authentic truth, "This kid has dug up the gold mountain or the silver mountain?" ”

"There is no gold mountain, but there is a silver mountain." Zhang Shanfu looked left and right, and said with a smile, "Li Sihai and Zhao Xingde partnered to find a big silver mine in Dongying, and joined others to bid for it. A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he said to the chief of the marching division, "However, if you want to buy these Ghaznavid princes and raise 20,000 horses, it is estimated that he should also go bankrupt, Li Sihai has this courage at a young age, and the Marquis of Bowang can be regarded as a successor." He paused and sighed, "It's a pity, this guy, but," Zhang Shanfu smiled slightly, "There is also a Li Yong supporting the Bowang Marquis Mansion, which is not bad, since the Ghaznavid princes have surrendered to Li Sihai, Li Yong should soon get out." ”

"It's a pity that Li Sihai is willing to take out such a large sum of money."

Xu Wenhu pretended to be surprised, looked at the generals left and right, and laughed with everyone.

At his level, money has long been regarded as less important, not to mention anything else, to lay down an enemy's city, the whole city is a big rope, and the wealth obtained is the accumulated income of countless merchants. In the eyes of people like Xu Wenhu and Zhang Shanfu, the best deal in the world is not to find gold and silver, but to snatch other people's gold and silver. The tiger wolf doesn't care that the pigs and cows are fatter than it, no matter how fat they are, it's just food. However, at Li Sihai's age, he was able to scatter the mountains of gold and silver to recruit troops and horses, but this mind was more remarkable than his ability to subdue the Ghaznavid princes as the heir of the Baiyi Dynasty.

"Talent is rare." Zhang Shanfu nodded, he was a little regretful, but he did not have the slightest remorse.

Li Sihai became the heir of the Baiyi Dynasty, so he naturally withdrew from the promotion sequence of the Great General's Mansion. There are talents from all generations, and his performance in Ghaznavid is certainly surprising to him, but such a person can play his greatest role in the position of king of kings. As for Li Sihai's inheritance of the Baiyi throne, whether it is possible that it will become a future trouble, but Zhang Shanfu did not pay much attention to it. No matter how powerful he is, he is just alone, and it will be at least ten years before he fights the princes of the Great Food and recuperates, and what Xia Guo lacks most now is time. Before the Qin State unified the Six Kingdoms, would it still care about the Huns? Zhang Shanfu was a little distracted with the teacup, there was a tiger in front of him, and there was an undercurrent in the back, the threat of the revival of the Baiyi Dynasty was so far away that he didn't need to think about it compared to the looming crisis. Compared with those illusory ones, Zhang Shanfu's calculations are always the most practical.

"Lao Zhang," Xu Wenhu said in a low voice, "are you going to move the army that suppressed Ghaznavid west?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Shanfu was stunned, Xu Wenhu hadn't called him that for a long time, both of them were generals who rose on the Western Front, and they competed with each other when they were young, as their status became higher and higher, after they were promoted to generals, Xu Wenhu saw Zhang Shanfu, and he was called "General Zhang", his eyes were a little complicated, looking at Xu Wenhu and nodded, "The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and the strength of the Western Front, it is always good to have a little more." ”

"In this way, the north of Wuhushui, the hinterland of the river, and Kangguo are all too weak."

Xu Wenhu's gaze fell elsewhere, and he didn't look at Zhang Shanfu, as if he said unintentionally.

The marching commander next to him looked at each other and smiled, and the two generals quarreled, and everyone didn't care, and it wasn't a day or two for the two generals to disagree with each other. The war on the Western Front was originally presided over by Xu Wenhu, and Zhang Shanfu was actually able to sit in Kangguo, and he had to come to the front line to be the commander, and it was impossible to change the generals in any aspect without dissatisfaction.

"As long as the battle is won in front, how can the Turks cross the Wuhu water?"

Zhang Shanfu was silent for a moment, staring at Xu Wenhu, as if he wanted to see if he was deliberately finding fault, and said in a deep voice: "Besides, north of Wuhushui, all the prefectures and counties in the river have already trained the regimental training fire battalion, the deep ditch barrier, and the artillery at the head of the city is waiting for it. When Zhang Shanfu spoke, Xu Wenhu pursed his lips, and the officers laughed again, among the generals, Zhang Shanfu's heaviest firearms are well known, and the Anton Military Division and the Anbei Military Division are a little disdainful of firearms. Nothing else, pull out an archer from the sergeants in the river, stand in the wilderness and shake a cavalryman face to face, can the firecracker?

"Really?" Xu Wenhu patted Zhang Shanfu on the shoulder, as if to make peace, as if he had nothing to do, "Alas, I just said, I can see it, you have no last resort, it is impossible not to see it." After speaking, he stood up, and Zhang Shanfu watched him walk out of the Chinese military tent, as if a layer of clouds were hanging over his face.
