Governor Gong thought twice and said, "Okay, this official will stay and see what you are going to do."

Governor Gong stayed, and Li Dujian naturally had no other intentions, and immediately led the army to join the Jeju army.

Yanzhou military camp, Daxiao field, Mi Sheng took dozens of personal soldiers, and asked Li Dujian to gather the Yanzhou army, and the soldiers still don't know what happened.

Li Du said: "Now that our Yanzhou is under the control of the Governor of Chao, the army must be reorganized." ”

The soldiers said, "How to adapt? ”

Li Dujian said: "To be a soldier is to be a soldier, and those who are old and frail and no longer suitable to be a soldier must go home to farm." ”

The soldiers blew up the nest and shouted: "That's not good, we've been soldiers for half our lives, why are we going back for no reason?" What do you do for a living when you go home? ”

Mi Sheng said: "The adaptation is like this, let's go through a test, mainly to run and run, to test the physical strength. Those who pass the test will continue to serve as soldiers, and each person will receive a one-time settlement allowance of seven times, 300 copper coins and 90 catties of food every month, and clothes for all seasons of the year. Bonuses and allowances for fighting wars are calculated separately. In short, everything is at the same level of treatment as the Jeju Army, and you should know the treatment of the Jeju Army. ”

Mi Sheng said this, the eyes of the little soldiers lit up, Yanzhou is only 100 miles away from Jeju, and the surroundings are all related to the family, and they know the treatment of the Jeju army very well, especially the food of the Jeju army, chicken, fish, meat and eggs are constant, and they eat better than the rich man's family, and in addition, various subsidies and allowances are also very high, and it is a good thing to be a soldier in the Jeju army. Let's just say that the settling-in fee of these seven times is very useful, and marrying a daughter-in-law is not a problem.

"Those who are too weak and too old will definitely have to go home, but don't worry about living problems, the demobilized soldiers will be paid a one-time severance pay of five times each, and when they are over 60 years old, they will have no ability to work, and they will have no children to support their families, and they will receive a subsidy of 30 catties of food per month, and there will be fish and meat during the New Year's holiday." Mi Sheng said.

The soldiers don't have any opinions, why, who is still making trouble with the money, it's good to just blow it away if it doesn't give you back, and it's a good thing to dream about it.

The test was held immediately, and there was a ten-mile cross-country run first, not to mention, this group of soldiers was okay, it seemed that they still practiced occasionally, and 1,500 people brushed off about 300 people, mainly those over 40 years old and frail. Immediately, the account room worked on the spot, and the dismissed soldiers registered one by one to receive the money, and then rolled up and went home.

The same is true for the soldiers who remain, who are registered and receive settling-in allowances. As for the military uniform, it was definitely not changed so much, but the two armbands on the sleeves were changed, the Jeju Army.

Mi Sheng's 500 soldiers were immediately grouped together with the 1,200 soldiers newly recruited by Yanzhou. The original capital supervisor Li Ziyong also served as the deputy battalion and was the deputy general of Mi Sheng.

That night, the barracks held a grand dinner, these soldiers in Yanzhou were eye-opening, it turned out that the days of being soldiers could be like this, hundreds of big fish were transported in truckloads, and fifty fat pigs were bought, of course, so many pigs could not be killed all at once, and the house should have its own pig house, which was managed by the logistics department, in case it was only needed from time to time.

Steaming big white steamed rice, stewed vermicelli with pork, braised large carp, except for wine, you can't drink casually, this dinner can be described as the New Year.

Life is better after the adaptation, but the same management is too strict, the military discipline is strict, the daily training arrangements are full, the soldiers who defend the city are rotated in three shifts at night, the officers take the lead in guarding the city gates, repair the loopholes, the city defense has become better, and then there are security patrols in the city. The troops worked on a temporary basis, and then the patrol team was established, and there were patrols to do daily patrols in the city.

Lord Gong was still worried at first, thinking that the Jeju army would kill people and set fire to grab a handful and leave, but he didn't expect that he didn't disturb the people at all, and the security in the city was much better. The soldiers also cleaned the streets and alleys of Yanzhou City.

Mi Sheng took Yanzhou City and controlled Yanzhou without blood, and the whole process made a net profit, so as not to drag the mud and water.

Sun Li and Wang Jinjin Weizhou who attacked Yizhou with other military horses, and Shibao took Zizhou were similar to Mi Sheng, basically they were all clean and neat, and the local soldiers were few, and they basically did not encounter any resistance.

However, there were setbacks in two routes, Qin Ming and Yang Zhi encountered problems in attacking Laizhou, and Luan Tingyu also encountered problems in Dengzhou.

Let's start with the six hundred cavalry of Qin Ming and Yang Zhi on this road, and they didn't bring any baggage, and they rode lightly all the way, and they could walk an average of 140 or 50 miles a day. At the beginning, Qin Ming was still a little worried about logistics, but he didn't expect to think about it too much, the army had a grain store opened in Jeju along the way, and the grain and forage had already been prepared, so there was no need to worry about food for people and horses. It's just that the journey to Laizhou is relatively long, and it took almost six days to reach the boundary of Laizhou.

Laizhou Mansion is not close to the border, and the second is not a military place, but Sima Fan, the prefect of Laizhou Prefecture, is the son of the original prime minister Sima Guang, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi fought equally, and once leaned towards the government and the opposition like Cai Jing, after all, he is the descendant of high-ranking officials, and the Laizhou prefect is also highly matched, and called his brother Sima Xiong over to serve as the supervisor of soldiers and horses, Sima Xiong is really not simple, with great strength, skilled in martial arts, trained a thousand infantry troops in Laizhou, five hundred cavalry, Sima Xiong has the talent to lead the troops, and the Laizhou iron bucket is in general.

Qin Ming and Yang Zhi's team was still a long distance away from Laizhou City, and they reported to Malay: "Thirty miles ahead is Laizhou City, but the Laizhou army has already discovered us, and the whole city is on alert." ”

It turned out that the news of a falling out between Jeju and the imperial court had already spread, and the prefect of Laiju was naturally vigilant.

Qin Ming said: "It's okay, tonight, walk forward for another twenty miles and set up camp." ”

The speed of the march of the six hundred cavalry was also fast, and it was only an hour to arrive in twenty miles, and they immediately set up camp, and the men set up pots and cooked food, and the soldiers fetched water and fed the horses.

The tent of the Chinese army, Qin Ming, Yang Zhi and several deputy generals were there, Yang Zhi said: "It seems that the situation is not good, the sneak attack has turned into a strong attack, we have no heavy weapons, and there is no advantage in attacking the city." ”

Qin Ming said: "We have few soldiers, this Sima Xiong is a brave man, I feel that he will definitely fight, as long as he takes him first, and then takes the opportunity to seize the city, there is also a chance." ”

Yang Zhidao: "If you really can't do it, you can only ask for assistance from the navy, they have a lot of artillery, but they are a little lost." ”

The people had deliberated until dinner, and it was quiet in the camp because of the great battle. The night was fine, and in the middle of the night the patrolling soldiers gradually began to get tired, after all, people are not made of iron, and fell asleep by the fire.

At this time, in the grass of several hundred meters of the barracks, a few dark shadows came out, seeing the Jeju barracks patrolling slack, waving back, and the people behind did not answer, and there were as many as four or five hundred people coming out, one by one, bending over, holding bright steel knives.

The group was cautious, moved the fence of the camp gate and came to the camp, and shouted for the first **: "Kill, a shout is like a thunderstorm, hundreds of soldiers are preparing to fight, and they see that there are suddenly countless lanterns and torches around them, and hundreds of cavalry come up from all around."

The first two people, one carrying an iron mace, and the other carrying a machete, were Qin Ming and Yang Zhi.

Qin Ming saw the attacking soldier and sneered: "Dare to underestimate me and others, don't forget that I have been a chief soldier, how can I not know the art of war and release arrows." ”

This guy's sneak attack was not successful, but he was surrounded, and the arrows were shot scattered, followed by a clash of foot and cavalry, the Laizhou army had already lost its sharpness, and the Jeju army had fierce generals like Qin Ming and Yang Zhi, and it didn't take long for them to be defeated, and they fled in defeat. Qin Ming and Yang Zhi did not lead their troops to chase after them.

It turned out that Qin Ming and Yang Zhiyi discussed and felt that the city might come out to sneak attack, so they deliberately let the patrolling soldiers carry it. The soldiers in the city did come to sneak attack, but it was Sima Xiong's lieutenant who brought five hundred elite infantry, thinking that the sneak attack could achieve a big victory, but who knew that it would make people counterattack the sneak attack.

Check the results of the battle, annihilated more than 150 enemies, and 50 wounded. On his own side, more than 20 people were killed and 30 wounded. Immediately, the military doctor bandaged the wounded and sorted out the internal affairs.

Seeing so many casualties among his own people, Qin Ming was very distressed, and said: "This is still prepared, there are still more than fifty dead and wounded, the combat strength of the Laizhou army is good, it seems to be a bad battle." ”

Yang Zhidao: "Tomorrow we will fight a battle and then decide, if we insist on attacking it, we have to find another way." ”

The day was bright, the Jeju army ate the war meal, the war drums were beating, and they came to the south gate of Laiju City. The gate of Laizhou was wide open, and Sima Xiong took the lead, leading five hundred cavalry to rush out of the city, and the two sides set up positions.

Yang Zhi called for battle, and the two sides scolded each other for not having nutrition, and immediately Sima Xiong was about to fight with a big knife. Sima Xiong's lieutenant general A is a scar-faced and fierce man, and said: "I'll go out to meet him first in this battle." ”

Immediately, Scarface and Yang Zhi, who came out to fight the blue-faced beast, both had scars on their faces. The scar-faced big knife went straight to Yang Zhi's door, Yang Zhi raised his gun to parry, and the two fought together. Scarface's martial arts are indeed extraordinary, and he took more than a dozen shots from Yang Zhi, Yang's gun was not a joke, and soon Scarface felt invincible, and turned around and fled when the two horses were staggered, Yang Zhi sneered: "Where to escape." ”

Immediately hung up the gun and took the bow, and shot an arrow, hitting the back of the scarface in the heart, it is estimated that he was not wearing armor, the deputy general of the scarface died under the horse, and Yang Zhi was victorious.

Sima Xiong had a good relationship with this lieutenant general, and shouted: "Anti-thief, dare to kill my brother, take your life." "Let's shake the big knife to fight Yang Zhi.

Qin Ming came up with a mace at this time and said, "Brother Yang, don't rest, I'll leave this guy to me." ”

Yang Zhi urged the horse to go back, he was indeed a little tired from the battle with Scarface just now, and if it wasn't for the bow and arrow, he wouldn't have won so easily.

On the battlefield, Qin Ming and Sima Xiong exchanged their names and surnames, and the battle was in one place.
