"Zicheng said it well!" Wu Shaoling almost applauded, depressed for a long time, and finally a martial artist spoke to his thoughts, "Our family likes bloody men, how about it, is there any way to recapture Fuqiang Fort?" ”

"Father-in-law Xie trusts," Li Zicheng glanced at Liang Wencheng, and saw that Liang Wencheng was also looking at him, and it was estimated that he hadn't reported to Wu Shaoling yet, "Father-in-law, it's just ...... that his subordinates are willing to take back Fuqiang Fort It's just that there are too few subordinate soldiers, and if you want to conquer Fuqiang Fort, the number is ...... "Since Wu Shaoling promised to let him expand the army last time, it is better to take this opportunity to take down the target of army expansion first."

"This is easy to do, the soldiers who escaped from Fuqiang Fort will be incorporated into your sergeants, and in addition, this soldier who has no guts will also be under your unified command, plus your original soldiers, there should be seven or eight hundred people, right? Our family will promote you to a thousand households again, and allow you to appoint a hundred households in the army. ”

Wu Shaoling finished speaking, looked at Zhao Feng, and Zhao Feng hurriedly said: "As long as Li Baihu can get back Fuqiang Fort, everything will be according to his father-in-law's words." ”

Only then did Li Zicheng know that it was Sun Zhigang of Qianhu who was tied to the ground, and because he was afraid of war, he was tied up by Wu Shaoling, and he also ate a military staff, and now he is lying half-dead under the lobby.

Compared with Sun Zhigang, Li Zicheng's treatment is simply in heaven, the defeated soldiers of Fuqiang Fort, plus the soldiers in Sun Zhigang's hands, this is the concentration of three thousand households out of five thousand households in Xining, although the total number of soldiers is less than one thousand, but it is already six percent of all soldiers in Xining.

"In this case, it is the duty of the subordinates of Fuqiang Fort to be recovered," Li Zicheng bowed to Wu Shaoling, Zhao Feng, and Liang Wencheng, "Father-in-law, two adults, the walls of Fuqiang Fort are thick and stone, and it is extremely difficult to break the city, and the subordinates need the assistance of the father-in-law and the two adults." ”

"You said that as long as our family can do something, we will never shirk." Hearing that Li Zicheng was willing to recover Fuqiang Fort, Wu Shaoling was a little determined in his heart, as long as he didn't want his head at this time, he would definitely agree.

"Father-in-law, the general is not a hungry soldier, since the sergeant wants to go into battle to kill the enemy, I ask my father-in-law and adults to allocate enough food and salary according to the actual number of soldiers."

"This is nature," Wu Shaoling hurriedly said: "Rest assured, our family will distribute January's salary tomorrow." ”

For Xiningwei, there is no increase in expenses, these soldiers are not recruits, they already have salaries, and Weili is also distributed according to the actual number, but the original thousands of households compared with the practice of Weili, and privately deducted the soldiers' salaries, which is insufficient.

"In addition, in order to break the city, subordinates need a thousand catties of gunpowder."

"Xiningwei's gunpowder is not abundant, but it ...... There are still 1,000 catties of gunpowder, and it will be distributed tomorrow," Wu Shaoling gave the green light again, "Zicheng, you tell the truth in front of our family and a few adults, how long can you recover Qiang Fort?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, these defeated soldiers are afraid that they will be frightened by the Mongols, and their subordinates need to practice for some time to let them regain their spirits," Li Zicheng saw that Wu Shaoling's face was a little ugly, and hurriedly said: "Ten days, my subordinates promise that within ten days, Ke will recover Qiang Fort." ”

"Ten days?" Wu Shaoling's face suddenly seemed to bloom, "Zicheng, aren't you coaxing our family to be happy?" ”

Knowing that this is the case, then train the army for a few more days, Li Zicheng regretted it a little, but the words have been exported, and it is difficult to take it back, "There is no joke in the army, my father-in-law can rest assured, as long as the guards can allocate food and gunpowder tomorrow, his subordinates are willing to guarantee the head of the item and recover Qiangbao in ten days." ”

"Okay, okay," Wu Shaoling nodded busily, stamping Li Zicheng's verbal military order, "Our family is waiting for Zicheng to send good news." ”

"Father-in-law, once the subordinates regain Fuqiang Fort, who will be handed over to garrison?" Li Zicheng was worried that Fuqiang Fort would be gained and lost, which would delay his plan to build the Triangle City.

"Zicheng, you have been promoted to a thousand households, and you are in charge of most of the soldiers of Xining Guard, Fuqiang Fort is naturally garrisoned by you," Wu Shaoling glanced contemptuously at Sun Zhigang who was lying around the corner, "If there is any kind of mischief on the stall, maybe Fuqiang Fort will be lost." ”

"Yes, father-in-law, my subordinates understand."

"Father-in-law," Liang Wencheng stood up suddenly, "The subordinates are willing to assist Li Baihu, no, Li Qianhu will go to the enemy together." ”

"Lord Liang," Li Zicheng didn't know which one Liang Wencheng was playing, "The Mongol cavalry came and went like the wind, the arrows were hundreds of shots, and the swords and guns on the battlefield were eyeless, so it was better for Lord Liang to sit in Xining and strategize......"

Liang Wencheng was furious, "What did Li Qianhu say?" I am the commander of Xiningwei, the military attache who leads the troops, and it is my duty to resist foreign insults, how can I cower? He eased his tone and continued: "Li Qianhu rest assured, I am only exercising my duty to join the army, as for marching and arranging formations and planning with troops, I will never interfere. ”

What he meant was to be a prison army, and Wu Shaoling and Zhao Feng naturally would not object.

That night, Liang Wencheng did not go home, but squeezed to the hotel where Li Zicheng stayed, and the store warmly prepared a meal for them, as well as a pot of old wine.

Liang Wencheng took the initiative to put the lamp, first to Li Zicheng, and then to himself, "Li Qianhu, with these remnants of the defeated generals, how sure is it that he will recover Qiang Fort in ten days?" ”

The wine cup that Li Zicheng picked up stopped in the air, "Ninety!" After that, he raised his glass and signaled to Liang Wencheng, and took the lead in taking a sip.

Liang Wencheng also did it, and licked his lips, "Li Qianhu is really a bit of a stone into gold, I know the combat effectiveness of these soldiers." ”

"The subordinates also know that with the current combat effectiveness of these soldiers, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to recover Fort Fuqiang now," Li Zicheng put the cup on the two of them, "so the subordinates need to train these soldiers for a few days." ”

"How many days will it take for them to be reborn?"

"It's impossible to be reborn," Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, "The subordinates just let them understand that only like a real soldier can they have food and salary, can they have military exploits, and can they save their lives, and then rely on the original soldiers to restore Fuqiang Fort first, and this battle will be a new starting point for these soldiers." ”

Liang Wencheng smiled and raised his glass, "I want to see how Li Qianhu trained his troops." ”

Li Zicheng also raised his glass, took a sip of it, and turned the wine cup upside down, but there was not a drop left, "When the time comes, I hope that the adults will not pity the soldiers too much." ”

"I know that soldiers always have to go to the battlefield," Liang Wencheng also did it, "Zicheng rest assured, I have already said that I will never interfere with the training and deployment of troops, I just have a pair of eyes." He suddenly rolled his eyes, "Zicheng, can you tell me now, what is going on with the war horse?" ”

Li Zicheng was stunned for a while, but Liang Wencheng followed him to Zhenhai Fort this time, and he hid the nearby war horses nearby, I am afraid that he can't hide it, and those horses in Zhenhai Fort, he will definitely see it when the time comes, concealing it is not a way, and he was thinking about how to explain, but he heard Liang Wencheng say again: "Zicheng rest assured, this word comes from your mouth, and it is in my ears, and no third party will know about it, if I report this matter to Gonggong Wu, will Zicheng still command the army here?" ”

Li Zicheng thought about it, so he no longer concealed it, "My lord, the war horses are indeed from the Mongols, but we are not buying, but plundering, although the Mongolian cavalry is strong, I concentrate my strength on one point and attack its weak ......" So he told Liang Wencheng about the night attack on the Mongolian herdsmen.

Liang Wencheng sighed, "Self-contained, this tactic can effectively curb the eastward expansion of the Mongols, why do you want to hide it from Gonggong Wu?" Is it just for those thousands of taels of silver? ”

"My lord doesn't know, if my subordinates tell the truth, Gonggong Wu doesn't know the hard work of the front line, once the number of war horses is expanded, then won't the brothers be poor? This kind of thing can only be done by the camera, but it cannot be given specific tasks. ”

"Besides, to deal with the Mongols, we can't do without cavalry, if Gonggong Wu collects my war horse, how can we run long distances?"

"Hey, it's all these geldings!" Liang Wenchang sighed.

"The eunuchs supervised the army, originally to prevent the warriors of various military towns from getting bigger, but these eunuchs did not do their duty to supervise, but gradually mastered the military, political, and financial powers, and the tunnel to the guard station was even more erosive." Since Liang Wencheng dared to scold Wu Shaoling in front of him, Li Zicheng also decided to open up.

"It's all castration and harming people, and the court is really blind." Liang Wencheng scolded, still unable to understand his hatred, he drank a cup by himself, staring at the empty cup, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liang Wencheng used wine to insult the court this time, it was really a big rebellion, if it was spread out, at least he would be beheaded for public display, but when he said this, it brought him closer to Li Zicheng, at least Li Zicheng didn't have to worry about him denouncing himself to Wu Shaoling.

His heart relaxed, and his mouth opened the floodgates, "My lord, if there is no eunuch supervising the army, the guard is afraid that it will not be much better, Xining Wei has five thousand households, and there are more than 5,600 soldiers, how many soldiers are actually left?" How many more soldiers are there to fight? ”

"Hey, state affairs are like this, what can we martial artists do?" This is the most painful place for Liang Wencheng, Xining 5,000 households, the actual soldiers are only 30%, every time the Mongols invade, they will only flee, and then ask for help from Weili, in the long run, Xining may become the second Liaodong, especially now that the Mongols have conquered Fuqiang Fort, it is less than half a day's journey from Xining.

Li Zicheng's appearance made Liang Wencheng see a glimmer of hope for expelling the Mongols by force, so he knew that he was tired of playing tricks in buying war horses, and he didn't report it to Wu Shaoling, but Li Zicheng was just a small thousand households, in addition to the original more than 100 soldiers, but hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals were added, and the guards were eroded here, can he really turn the tide?

"Adults don't have to worry too much, the number of Da Ming Qi is not exhausted, and there is a little scabies, which will not shake the root for the time being."

"Self-contained, what's wrong? Could it be that Taizu was wrong to establish the government soldiers from the beginning? Liang Wencheng swallowed a few glasses of wine, and he had no scruples, and the backlog of doubts and depression in his heart did not vomit or be unhappy.

"Taizu established the government soldiers back then, and raised two million warlike soldiers for the country for free, which is indeed a great innovation, so Taizu and Chengzu went on a northern expedition to Mongolia, and the imperial court did not spend much, but it became stronger and stronger."

"What's wrong with that?" When Liang Wencheng raised his eyes, they were already covered with bloodshots, maybe it was the stimulation of alcohol, maybe the resentment in his heart seemed to be about to erupt.
