Chapter 698 The Hedong New Army, called Jingnan
The dragon and the tiger are shocked, and the momentum is magnificent. On one side is Xiao Tang, who is full of blood and courage, and on the other side is Wang Huan, who is old and strong, calm and moderate.
And when Xiao Tang and Wang Huan fought for more than fifty years, he had already noticed that the old man on the opposite side with extravagant marksmanship was gradually wheezing, and the strength of the gun seemed to have weakened a lot.
Wang Huan can indeed be called old and strong, and his majesty has not diminished back then, it is said that he can fight with Lin Chong, one of the fierce generals who can represent the highest level of Liangshanbo's armed forces in the original work, and he fought seventy or eighty times, and he did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and the official army was successively defeated by the design of the Liangshan army, and the rest of the officials were killed and captured...... Wang Huan relied on his ability to survive one defeat after another, but he still had the ability to remain unscathed. If it is Wang Huan, who is in the prime of life and is still in the side court, he is fighting with the enemy army for a long time... The strength will presumably be more convincing to others.
But according to Xiao Tang's thoughts, Lin Chong's brother's marksmanship was originally a preemptive path, and Wang Huan was a veteran general in the army. The two of them are definitely the world's first-class generals in terms of gun skills, and it is indeed very difficult to distinguish between the winners and losers.
But Xiao Tang is now very strong, and he has the ability to have both good luck and internal strength, whether it is with the chiseled gold tiger head dragon tooth gun, or the quenching cold blade Mo knife when walking in the green forest, he can exert great strength and invincible, compared to Lin Chong, who first tried to be safe when fighting against the enemy, and then suddenly broke out, his moves are more domineering. And Wang Huan is old after all, and when he fights with Xiao Tangling for a long time, he will inevitably fall into decline because of his lack of strength.
After fighting to seventy or eighty times, Xiao Tang gradually gained the upper hand in the horse war competition, seeing that Wang Huan's spearmanship was gradually losing his discipline, Xiao Tang did not want this old general who was highly respected in the army, and when he had the grace to carry a little bit of grace, he lost face, and the strength of the big gun in his hand also subconsciously slowed down.
Wang Huan has been in war for a long time, not only charging into battle, whether it is fighting with others or competing with others, he feels that Xiao Tang has used the big gun technique to slow down the pressure exerted on him, how can he not know that the other party intends to give in? Wang Huan, whose face was covered with sweat, smiled slightly, he shook a shot, pulled his horse out of the circle, and put away the gun, and said with emotion: "It is said that Shibei is not three days, and you should be impressed." Now the virtuous nephew is still praised as a heroic figure, but this skill is no longer what it used to be, and the old man can't win...... It seems that it is really blue, and I can't help but accept my old age. ”
Xiao Tang also accepted the big gun, bowed to Wang Huan and said: "If you can learn martial arts in the future, you can have such a situation today, and you can't be taught by Uncle Shi, and you don't dare to forget the grace of the rain and spring breeze." ”
Wang Huan laughed, and immediately turned over and dismounted with Xiao Tang, and ordered the military jian next to him to collect the blades of the two and tie their respective mounts. At this time, Xiao Tang was suddenly not far away, and Wang Wenbin was also staring at him, just in a daze, thoughtful. When Wang Wenbin met Xiao Tang's gaze, he was stunned at first, and the expression on his face was very complicated. After a while, Wang Wenbin hugged his fist to Xiao Tang very respectfully, and looked very respectful when he looked very respectful.
Although Wang Wenbin lacked experience in fighting martial artists who were proficient in martial arts, and he was arrogant to the point of ignorance in the past, Xiao Tang taught him one after another in front of many military colleagues that day, and also taught Wang Wenbin to re-examine his ability.
In the next few days, he saw Wang Jin practicing the methods used to train the new army, and heard him describe the mysteries of various ordnance techniques, and then witnessed Hu Yanzhuo's superb skills when he competed with each other...... Wang Wenbin finally had such a thought in his heart: If it were me, how many tricks could I make when I competed with these generals?
Yelang is arrogant, but that Yelang country was also the largest country in southwest China at that time, and it also had more than 100,000 troops, but the lord of Yelang lacked enough understanding of the outside world to say, "Who is the Han and I?" This sentence has made the world laugh for thousands of years, ridiculing its arrogance and empty eyes. And the self-righteous one, just looking at the square circle in front of him, can be described as a leaf blind, not knowing the state of the world, Xiao Tang just picked the leaf called arrogance that covered Wang Wenbin's eyes, and finally made him able to see the world clearly, no longer affected by his own imagination, and continued to be a confused frog at the bottom of the well.
It can also be said that it is extremely embarrassing to think about it, remembering that in the past, when he was in Beijing and even when he was acting in Hedong, he thought that he could be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among people regardless of martial arts and the art of war, just waiting for an opportunity to make a contribution, and now Wang Wenbin, who was drunk in the head, felt that he was blushing. Hugh said that Xiao Tang, Wang Huan, and Han Cunbao, who were very famous and prestige in the Great Song Dynasty, were like Peng Xi, Han Tao, Xuanzan, and Hao Siwen.
Xiao Tang originally had the grace to save Wang Wenbin's life, and after being beaten and alerted, Wang Wenbin also vaguely realized the reason why Xiao Tang severely punished him in front of many colleagues in the army that day. Now Wang Wenbin's resentment towards Xiao Tang has faded a lot, but he is ashamed to talk to Xiao Tang more, so he simply does his own errand in a muffled voice.
And Xiao Tang saw that Wang Wenbin seemed to have calmed down a lot these days, and expected that his method should also work, he also smiled and signaled to Wang Wenbin, with encouragement, and said in his heart If you really realize the shortcomings in your temperament, I can't give you a chance to show your skills.
At this moment, Xiao Tang saw Shi Xiu and Ye Qing leading a few cronies towards him, and Ye Qing reported to Xiao Tang: "My lord, Wu Xueyu, Mr. Xiao, and Guan Dujian have sorted out the roster of the new army and arranged the barracks and military villages around Tonglu County have been roughly arranged. In about half an hour, he could rush to the mansion to discuss military affairs with him. ”
Xiao Tang nodded in response, and he saw Shi Xiu standing behind him glance at Ye Qing in front of him, and then nodded to himself, as if he was also signaling that this big family manager was born, and the loyal and righteous uncle who was newly invested under Xiao Tang received people and treated things neatly, and his personality seemed to be a man who valued love and righteousness.
In the original book, Ye Qing, the general manager who was able to endure hibernation, keep the orphans of the old master, and conspired to unite with the Liangshan army to kill Tian Hu and avenge the former master, is naturally also a thoughtful and loyal hero. It's just that he still has to find the most suitable opportunity to tell Ye Qing about what he is planning to do in the officialdom and green forest, according to Ye Qing's loyal character to Qiu Shen, since he is sincerely under his command, Xiao Tangxin said that this person is enough to rest assured and trust.
When Xiao Tang, Wang Huan, Han Cunbao and others were about to wash up a little and discuss the next step of the crusade against Tian Hu, Wang Huan paced to Xiao Tang's side and said: "Now the brave and strong people selected from the Hedong refugees have reached about 4,500 people, and they can be organized into nine battalions of new troops. Since the virtuous nephew has been entrusted with important tasks by the officials, he has been promised the power to select and train the new army and reorganize the trilogy, which is naturally also your hard work. When the new army is built, you can also advise the court about the name of the new army, I don't know if the virtuous nephew has an idea in his heart? ”
Xiao Tang was stunned when he heard this, thinking that such as the Shence Army of the Tang Dynasty Rongwei Jingshi, Yue Fei's Yuejia Army and the elite Beiwei Army among the elites, Wang Yan's Bazi Army, and the military numbers such as Zhuri, Tianwu, Longwei, and Shenwei, which are known as the elite of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, also represent the expectations placed on this army in the hearts of the generals who originally established those strong brigades.
Now listening to Wang Huan's question, Xiao Tang smiled indifferently and said leisurely: "If the imperial court can really set a name for this new army in Hedong according to the will of the younger generation...... I think this unit is called the Jingnan Army, which is the most appropriate. ”
