Chapter 78: The Great Army Assembles
Xu Liang agreed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But when exactly to send troops, the two of them were at a stalemate on this issue.
According to Liu Yuanshan's meaning, it is natural that the sooner the troops are dispatched, the better, but Xu Liang doesn't know if he has other scruples, he is always timid, and has the mentality of pushing if he can.
What's going on here?
Liu Yuanshan slandered in his heart: Lao Tzu wants to master the men of the entire Fang County as soon as possible, how can he drag it with you?
I had no choice but to sacrifice the biggest killing weapon at the moment.
"Brother Xu, don't have any doubts!" Liu Yuanshan looked at pity with a face, stood up and said: "The people of Li are like ants on a hot pot, Liu Yuanshan is uneasy, if he can calm down the chaos as soon as possible, San Lang can hand over the power of Dajin Pass and local commercial taxes to the eldest brother to manipulate, and San Lang can also become a rich man as soon as possible......
"What?"
Xu Liang's eyes lit up, and a flash of surprise flashed: "What does San Lang mean is that in addition to the regimental soldiers, the Dajin Customs and the commercial tax are also delivered to me?" ā
It stands to reason that these things should be handed over to the local government affairs, that is, the three classes and six rooms in the county to manage, and now Liu Yuanshan is willing to hand over such power to the military?
That's right, too!
Xu Liang thought to himself: If Lao Tzu controls the military power of the entire Fang County, and after pacifying all the bandits, there are three or five thousand elites in his hands, where is there any government affairs in this county, and I am not the one who has the final say?
There was a big gold pass before, and Fang County is located in a remote area, so it is not impossible to divide one side?
Moreover, the Liu family's business is big, and the entire Xiangyang Mansion can be ranked first, if the commercial tax is started to be levied, this will be big.
"Of course!" Liu Yuanshan was righteous and awe-inspiring: "Customs and taxes cannot be separated, since Dajin Customs is handed over to you to manage, if the commercial tax is not given to you, won't it cause trouble?" Besides, in the future, my Liu family's business will definitely get bigger and bigger, and I can rest assured that you are in charge of commercial taxes! ā
"Good, good, good!" Xu Liang nodded again and again, convinced of Liu Yuanshan at the moment.
After all, the guy standing in front of him was just a half-grown child. In Xu Liang's eyes, now the momentum of the Ye family has also shocked him, after all, children are just children, and Liu Yuanshan at this moment only has the ideal of being a rich man.
Xu Liang was really relieved, and at this moment, he had forgotten why Liu Yuanshan, who was a businessman, would raise the issue of levying commercial taxes.
"So, when are we going to suppress the bandits?" Xu Liang was a little impatient now.
"Give me two days to prepare, I will gather all my subordinates in two days, and I can set out to suppress the bandits early in the morning after tomorrow!" Liu Yuanshan said with an oath.
"Which wave will be killed first?" Xu Liang asked.
Liu Yuanshan's hand pointed to the west: "The nearest one, let's start with him, the Demon King of the Mixed World, hehe, the day the eldest brother goes on the expedition, it is the time of triumph, come, the younger brother replaces the wine with tea, and wishes the eldest brother a triumphant return in advance!" ā
"Yes!" Liu Xin picked up the teacup and said: "The general is mighty, with an army of 5,000 to suppress the bandits, if he can break the demon king of the mixed world in one fell swoop, the rest of the Tongshan bandits or the so-called river dragon will fall to the wind." ā
"Good!" Although Xu Liang is a hundred households of Jinshan Wei and guards a county alone, he has never really had to fight, and now he is blinded by the number of the army and the praise of several people, and he is suddenly full of pride: "This will definitely be destroyed in one fell swoop, and I will return my fathers and villagers in Fang County to a bright future!" ā
"Cheers ......"
"!"
"!"
ā¦ā¦
In the next two days, Liu Yuanshan was busy deploying troops everywhere.
Although the commander-in-chief of this attack and suppression of bandits was Xu Liang, Xu Liang's descendants would definitely not be able to go into battle more than 200 people, and the remaining 4,000 people would be filled by Liu Yuanshan's regiment.
In fact, Liu Yuanshan did not have so many regimental soldiers, and the elite soldiers he had trained in the real sense were only hundreds, and those who had been mobilized in the past two days were at best those homeless people who had been fed.
In order to ensure that there would be no conflict, Liu Yuanshan naturally sent the backbone of the regiment to lead, a group, a team, and hurriedly formed a formation in two days.
In addition to Xu Liang, the commander-in-chief, the direct person in charge of the Liu family is Erlang Liu Yuanhuo, and the rest of the backbones such as Bian Keng, Yi, Edamame, Ergua and other backbones also moved forward with the army, if not for anything else, just to exercise, and by the way, to control the situation.
In the early morning of the agreed third day, early in the morning, Xu Liang led 200 people from Jinshanwei.
The two hundred people brought by Xu Liang, all dressed in leather armor and carrying knives, guns and bows and arrows in their hands, looked like a well-equipped local army, but unfortunately, their knives and guns were a little rusty, and their bows and arrows seemed to have not been used for a long time.
However, when they arrived outside the west gate of Fang County and saw Liu Yuanshan's more than 4,000 troops, including Xu Liang, they were really shocked.
"This ......"
Although the soldiers of the 4,000 army did not wear leather armor, they were neatly dressed in uniform uniforms, and the weapons in their hands were all the same, all of which were bright knives.
There were no bows and arrows, because the time was too rushed, and Liu Yuanshan did not have time to make bows and arrows.
Besides, even if you have time, you should make more flintlock pistols, who bothers to make any bows and arrows these days?
"Lizheng, ahh......h
Erlang roared, and more than 4,000 people stood up at the same time, driving the ground under his feet to make a dull sound.
Majestic, solemn!
"Forward...... Keeping up with ......"
"Wow Kick ......"
All the people stomped in small steps, and in an instant they lined up neatly, stirring up a puff of dust under their feet.
Xu Liang slowed down with the army, looking at the black army in front of him, he felt like he was in a dream!
This is the army I am going to lead?
This is my Xu Liang's force from now on?
"Good!" Xu Liang was inexplicably full of pride.
"Salute......" Erlang shouted.
Everyone stood up and raised their right arms at the same time, all looked at Xu Liang, and shouted loudly: "Long! Official! Good! ā
Of course, this bridge section was added by Liu Yuanshan.
"Hehe......" Xu Liang was surprised and delighted, he didn't know what to say, his heart was like this, weren't those bandits scared?
"General, how did they say hello to you?" Erlang despised him in his heart and said in a low voice.
"Huh? Oh oh oh ...... "But he really didn't know what to say?"
"Hello brothers!" Erlang raised his hand and said, "General Xu asked me to say hello on his behalf." ā
Xu Liang almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and said secretly: When did Lao Tzu let you replace you? You tell me that I'm not good at myself!
However, now is not the time to fight for these, he hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said loudly to everyone: "Hello brothers, I am Xu Liang, from today onwards, you will go to Longhu Town with General Ben to suppress bandits, if you win, you will naturally be rewarded for your merits." Good no good? ā
"Good!" The crowd raised their swords and shouted!
"Hey, hey!" Xu Liang smiled proudly, thinking that he could still incite morale, and then waved his hand: "That's good, let's go with Ben General!" ā
So many people, still bandits? Scared to scare the demon king of the world to death!
