The recruits in the battalion began to train in formation in infantry iron armor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

All the officers in the battalion were busy, and there was a lot of whirring on the school grounds.

Infantry, in the era of cold weapons, formation is everything, and only by maintaining a tight formation can you win on the battlefield. If the formation is scattered, then there is only one way to rout.

A few days passed, and someone from Tokyo arrived.

But there was one person, Zheng Zhi, who never thought that Zheng Zhi was still in the camp watching the foot soldiers drilling, and dozens of healthy horses galloped to the gate of the school field.

Zheng Zhi is on the platform, at a glance, riding dozens of horses, looking very familiar, it seems to be a bit like a knight under his command.

Outside the school gate, someone shouted, "Where is General Zheng?" ”

Even Zheng Zhi, who was on the general's platform, vaguely heard it clearly, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, where is there anyone who still calls himself General Zheng now.

Zheng Zhi got up and jumped directly from the Jiangtai to the horse below, beat the horse and ran towards the gate.

Ruda followed, as well as more than a dozen pro-soldiers of Niu Da.

The foot guards at the gate also reported back to their original places.

Zheng Zhi directly crossed the guards of the report and went straight to the gate of the school field, and recognized the person in front of him at a glance, with a resolute face, a heavy armor, no iron helmet, some gray buns, and a few strands of beard under his chin.

Zheng Zhi jumped down directly from the horse, his face was full of surprise, and he bowed his hand and said, "Xianggong, why did you come to Cangzhou." ”

When the man saw Zheng Zhi, he couldn't stop laughing, slowly dismounted, and said, "Haha... Zheng Zhi, I didn't expect it, you don't need to be polite, now you are also a state strategy, and you should be a little majestic. ”

The person who came was the way of the planter!

Luda and the others were also surprised and delighted, and dismounted to pay respects. After the ceremony, Luda walked forward directly and stood next to the Planter Road, his face full of joy.

Although Zheng Zhi knew that there would be people from Tokyo to Cangzhou, and thought that he was just a craftsman, he didn't expect that the Seed Master Dao would come, and it was when he arrived at the Cangzhou campus that Zheng Zhi knew the news.

"Xianggong, didn't the imperial court transfer you to Hebei to serve?" Zheng Zhi also seemed to remember something in his heart, as if the planting master had really served in Hebei.

Zheng Zhi didn't think wrong, the seed master Dao really served in Hebei, and the Gyeonggi Hebei Economic Strategy was placed as an envoy, but it was a matter of the first year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers besieged the city, and they were ordered to control many soldiers and horses in the north of Gyeonggi Hebei to resist the Jin. After relieving the first siege, he was immediately relieved of his military powers, and then died of illness.

"Haha... Where is there such a good thing, Tong Shumi's summoned me from the northwest to Tokyo, the reason is probably you also know a thing or two in your heart, this time it is on behalf of Tong Jingluo to patrol the border and Heshuo, to inspect the armament situation, so I came to Cangzhou first. The planter said with a smile.

Luda first greeted a few acquaintances from the northwest on the left and right, and then said with a smile: "Haha... Xianggong, I haven't seen you for more than a year, why are you a little older? ”

"Ruda, you bastard, your skin is itching tightly." The seed master is also very happy, and meeting the old people in a foreign country in this era really can't be described as happy.

Luda heard the words of the master, smiled slightly, and did not speak, as if he also felt that he had said the wrong words. But he was not afraid, and he was still happy in his heart.

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he also knew in his heart that in this battle of attacking Liao, the Dao of the Seed Master would inevitably participate. Hearing that the planter Dao was here to patrol the border to inspect the armaments, Zheng Zhi frowned, and he didn't say much, only raised his hand and said, "Xianggong, let's go to the big tent first and then discuss." ”

Seeing Zheng Zhi's slightly changing expression, the seed master Dao obviously knew that something was wrong, so he started and went to the camp.

Everyone went to the camp, Zheng Zhi turned back to Luda and said, "Luda, quickly send someone to the city to buy more food." ”

"Howler!" When Ruda heard this, he flew up and ran, and managed today's banquet.

Entering the big tent, the planter Dao sat in the center, and Zheng Zhi sat on the left and bowed. There are also a few Northwest generals on the left and right.

The seed master Dao directly asked: "This Hebei ground, but what's wrong?" ”

"Xianggong, if you want to start a war with Liao, the Hebei Forbidden Army is useless." Zheng Zhi didn't hide it either, and said directly.

Seed Master Dao frowned when he heard this, and said: "Zheng Zhi, you are still so smart, that is, from the matter of shipbuilding, you guessed that you were going to start a war with the Liao. But why are the soldiers of Hebei useless? Isn't that an exaggeration?"

The Planter Dao has been in the northwest for generations, and it is obvious that the matter of Hebei cannot be imagined, that is, in the impression of the Planter, no matter how bad the forbidden army is, it is still a forbidden army after all. Even the Xiang Army in the northwest has a look, where can there be a hundred to describe the forbidden army.

Said that the scholar does not go out, he can know the affairs of the world, and he has been familiar with hundreds of books since he was a child, and he has seen how the Hebei Shanxi army will fight with the Liao people and how brave he is. As soon as he came to Cangzhou, when he heard Zheng Zhi's words, the first reaction of the seed master was that it was exaggerated.

"Xianggong, it's not that I'm exaggerating, there has been no war for a hundred years, and now in Hebei, the armaments are slackened to an unimaginable level, even when I first came, I couldn't believe it. There was not a single soldier in the battalion to fight, there was not a single soldier in his hands, and the storehouse was full of rotten wood. The soldiers are all old and weak, the queue is not neat, a state capital, and the iron armor can't make up a few sets, how can they fight? Zheng Zhi said that he was a little heartbroken.

The two countries formed an alliance, and the destruction of Liao depended on gold, and after the destruction of Liao, who could the royal gold rely on? In the end, the two emperors were arrested and taken to the Huanglong Mansion in the northeast.

The Seed Master Dao was shocked when he heard this, even the Seed Master Dao who had seen the world, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, knowing in his heart that Zheng Zhi would not deceive himself, and there was no reason to deceive himself with these words, but he couldn't believe that the original place of the anti-Liao town had fought countless battles with the Khitans, and now it has really reached such a point?

"Zheng Zhi, is this true?" The seed master Dao knew the importance of the matter in his heart, and if so, what else would he talk about attacking Liao. Tong Guan's plans are all in vain.

"Xianggong, everything is true, I don't need to say anything about this, Xianggong, you have gone to a few state capitals, and everything is known. Even when the school is ordered, the main general can only spend money to ask the scoundrels to fill the number, which is really unsightly. Zheng Zhi said again.

If you want to ask the main battle and the main peace, Zheng Zhi really doesn't want to start a war in his heart, and would rather let Liao and the Jurchens fight for a few more years, so that he can have more time to prepare, and he will have more means to face the Jurchens in the future.

Seed Master Dao slowly stood up and looked around at the left and right generals, and everyone was shocked.

Seed Master Dao slowly walked out of the seat, paced a few steps left and right in the middle of the big tent, and waved his hand, "You all go out first." ”

Many generals got up and made a big tent.

The seed master Dao slowly walked towards Zheng Zhi, who also stood up, and said: "Tong Shumi's name will go down in history, he wants to recover the clouds, and he wants to be crowned king!" ”

Zheng Zhi took a few steps closer to the cultivation master and said, "Xianggong, if you really want to go to war, the only way to do it is to mobilize the western army to fight. ”

The planter Dao's eyebrows were twisted into one place, and his tone was slightly depressed: "Now, where is there still the Western Army." ”

Zheng Zhi was also puzzled when he heard this, and asked: "Xianggong, didn't you incorporate the Northwest Forbidden Army into the Xiang Army?" ”

The planter waved his hand, his face was full of loss, and said: "I can't raise it!" ”

Zheng Zhi looked directly into the eyes of the seed master, and he was also shocked in his heart, can't he live? What does it mean that even the box army can't be fed? If you can't support it, it means that the imperial court won't give money at all, and it is difficult to pay the full amount of the food and salary of the real army just by relying on the northwest state capital and the barren land.

When the Song and Xia Dynasty were deadlocked, the Planter Dao could use one box of forbidden army food and salary to build 3,000 iron cavalry over the years. Now it has reached the point where the army can't even feed itself.

There is the Song Dynasty, and the people who hold the soldiers are really sad!
