Chapter 20 Jin Wang Order
Since the Hundred Battles Army went out to Shenxian Mountain to return to the camp, more than ten days have passed, and the original lack of soldiers has almost been filled after the replenishment of the personnel of the four major clans of Shenxian Mountain, remote villagers, and Qimen.
In other words, the establishment of today's Hundred Battles Army has been completed, and there are officially three thousand. However, at this time, Li Congjing received a letter that could further increase the number of soldiers.
How to build a hundred battle army into an army that can be infinitely close to the standard of being invincible in a hundred battles is a problem that Li Congjing has been thinking about for a long time, and this time can even be traced back to when he first came to this era. In addition to strict military training, Li Congjing has some ideas in terms of information and intelligence system and military general training.
Of course, as the commander of an army, Li Congjing's own military talent, and even his political talent, will determine whether the Hundred Battles Army can win one war after another. In this regard, Li Congjing has never relaxed his requirements for himself, in addition to knowledge, in terms of thought and character, he has always maintained a state of "cultivation".
To this end, Li Congjing divided the construction of the Hundred Battles Army into four aspects: the construction of soldiers; army building; General Construction; Exterior construction.
In fact, it is difficult to say that it is difficult to really train a strong army, but it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult. In order to maintain the enthusiasm for the training of the Hundred Battles Army, Li Congjing must have some practical rewards and punishments in addition to such vain things as ideological education and competition with each other. And this, you can't do without money. Even the construction of armor in the courtyard is inseparable from money.
In response to this, Li Congjing could have done it step by step, because the King of Jin would pay him, but for Li Congjing, who had high expectations and high requirements, the amount of salary allocated by the King of Jin was obviously not enough.
The soldiers are not expensive, and since the 3,000 and hundreds of soldiers are already full, how many more soldiers will be added to Li Congjing, it seems a bit of a chicken rib. When Li Congjing was hesitant to make a trip for the recruits, the King of Jin sent envoys down.
The person who came Li Congjing was very familiar, it was Li Shaorong. It was the military general who woke up Li Congjing outside Weizhou City and made him realize Wu Jingzhong's true face.
Li Congjing welcomed Li Shaorong into the military camp tent, Li Shaorong did not have many polite words, and first handed Li Congjing a piece of Jin Wang order.
This order was not for Li Congjing to fight against Liang, but for him to deal with Luzhou.
After Li Congjing finished reading the order, Li Shaorong had already spoken, and said: "The envoy of Luzhou Jiedu was originally a famous general Li Sizhao, some time ago the Japanese army attacked Zhenzhou, and the old general Li was unfortunately martyred, and the king of Jin let his eldest son Li Jiyu inherit his throne. Because of his cowardly temperament, Li Jiyu was imprisoned by his second brother Li Jitao in a coup d'Γ©tat, and asked himself to lead Luzhou. The Zhaoyi Army, which was originally set up by Zelu, was also changed to the Anyi Army. Although Li Jitao successfully stole the throne, he was inevitably uneasy and had begun to expand the army beyond the norm. β
Li Congjing was silent, he was waiting for Li Shaorong to continue.
Li Shaorong continued: "General Li of the King of Jin also saw the order, and he must have already known it in his heart. The meaning of the King of Jin is very clear, Li Jitao took advantage of the King of Jin's southern expedition to steal a high position, which was not justified in his name, and it was also a treacherous act, and the King of Jin wanted to crusade in person. But as soon as the king of Jin had agreed to stay behind, it was not good to raise troops for no reason; Second, the whole Jin Kingdom is now asking the King of Jin to be the emperor, and the King of Jin can't get away for a while; Third, in the land of Luzhou, the king of Jin and the generals were busy with the battle against Liang and had no time to take care of anything else. β
With the above, the king of Jin then handed over the matter of Luzhou to General Li, and asked General Li to pay close attention to every move of Luzhou, and to restrict the things that were restricted. This matter is very confidential, and I hope that General Li will be cautious. β
Li Congjing digested Li Shaorong's words in his head, and immediately understood what Li Cunxuan meant: Li Jitao's behavior makes me very unhappy, but I don't have time to pay attention to this kind of small role now, you go and watch him for me, and find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
For Li Jitao, in fact, Li Congjing knows something, this guy later betrayed Jin and surrendered to Liang.
Li Congjing asked Li Shaorong and said, "The meaning of the King of Jin, if there is a change in Luzhou, will he lead the army to conquer at the end?" β
"At present, you can't blatantly conquer, after all, Li Jitao has no big crime, and the King of Jin has to consider the mouth of the world, but General Li can do the following things." Li Shaorong's eyes flashed with the light of conspiracy, "And once the Luzhou incident occurs, General Li has full responsibility to deal with it, and it is necessary to make sure that Luzhou does not cause trouble to the overall situation." β
Li Congjing was a little difficult, although he knew that Li Jitao would rebel, but he didn't know when he would rebel, so he said: "The Hundred Battles Army will attack Luzhou in a short time, but I am afraid that it will not be able to do it." β
Li Shaorong smiled and said: "There are 3,000 soldiers and horses in the Hundred Battles Army, and 2,000 are all old soldiers, which are themselves long-formed combat forces, although there are 1,000 new soldiers, it is not a difficult thing to digest, General Li is too modest." β
Li Congjing didn't say anything more.
At present, how to handle the affairs of Luzhou well has become the first examination paper of the Hundred Battles Army.
After Li Shaorong explained the relevant matters, he rested for a while, and then went back, and the speed was very fast.
Li Congjing secretly pondered for a long time, and gradually had a clear outline in his mind: at present, the integration of the hundred battle armies is not in place, the combat strength of the new soldiers has not yet been completed, and it is not suitable for rash conquest, and Luzhou has not made any major moves for a while, so he should not go to the expedition immediately. In other words, at present, Li Congjing still has to take military training as the top priority, strengthen the surveillance of Luzhou by the way, and make some small moves to restrict Luzhou.
And once the time is ripe, it will be the time for the decisive battle between the two armies.
Thinking of this, Li Congjing turned out the letter he received this morning, it was a private letter, but what was said in the letter, Li Congjing felt that he could do it.
After dealing with the affairs at hand today, it was not early, and Li Congjing, who ate and lived in the town, rarely changed into a regular uniform, did not bring personal guards, and went out of the barracks alone.
Dusk is approaching, the sunset is like a song, the horse's hooves are beating on the carpet paved by the sun with a unique rhythm, the breeze is gentle, and the tired birds know to return, Li Congjing breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a burst of relief that is not often seen.
If you don't care about the discomfort caused by the ill-fitting green shirt, Li Congjing's mood will definitely be more pleasant. In the past year, Li Congjing has almost never left the barracks, and his armor almost never leaves his body, although this green shirt still looks very new, but wearing it on his body, how can Li Congjing be a little uncomfortable. It's like a country man suddenly coming to the city, and a city man suddenly going to the countryside. Habits, it's a wonderful thing.
In addition, Li Congjing has been fighting on the battlefield for more than a year, and his figure has inevitably grown a little longer, but his clothes before joining the army are a little smaller.
"It's okay to go on a blind date instead of going on a blind date." Li Congjing muttered to himself, and groaned for a while, "That's it, it seems that it's time to buy two new sets of clothes." β
Qimen is a small place, and there are not many places to play nearby, just a hill that can barely be climbed. There is a pavilion at the foot of the mountain, for visitors to rest, when Li Congjing arrived in front of the pavilion, the people who made an appointment were already waiting in the pavilion, he tied the horses and walked into the pavilion quickly.
The people in the pavilion stood to the south, the golden sunlight just hit her face, and her peach-like lips were particularly delicate, because she was standing long, her tall and full figure was unobstructed, and her slender legs exposed the upper and lower parts of the knees, which was a quiet white.
The peach is dying.
Since she came back from the fairy mountain, she has returned home, and she has not paid attention to her official business, and she heard that she is waiting to be married.
"Let the peach master wait for a long time, forgive the sin." Li Congjing clenched his fist at the man and smiled.
Tao Yaoyao turned around, still holding a glass of water in her hand, and her lazy eyes were casually draped over her bright eyes, "I'm no longer a big boss." β
"It's just a title." Li Congjing said with a smile, "I think, compared to the title of little lady, the master of Taoda should still prefer the former one." β
"It's true that it's not a little lady." Tao Yaoyao's voice was very long, she looked at Li Congjing, and called out a title that made Li Congjing almost stumble, "Little brother." β
Li Congjing's expression was like being stuck in his throat by a fish bone, and it wasn't just one, it was a whole one. However, Tao Xiaoyao's age is indeed much older than Li Congjing, who has not yet reached the crown.
It seems that Tao Yaoyao is angry, and Li Congjing said that she is old......
Li Congjing had to change the topic, "The scenery here is beautiful, the vision is broad, and the Taoda master is really interested, so he chose a good place." β
Tao Yaoyao glanced at Li Congjing, and said lightly: "Go up the mountain to play, just by the way." β
Li Congjing felt that she was not a person who couldn't chat, but she found that in the face of Tao Xiaoxiao, it really made people not have the slightest idea of chatting, so he wisely chose to get to the point, "Yesterday I received a letter from the master of Tao University, and the master of Tao University said in the letter that Liang Zishan's heroes intend to accept Zhao'an and take refuge in the Hundred Battles Army? β
The table was a high-stilted stone table, Tao Yaoyao sat opposite Li Congjing with folded legs, and threw over a letter, "Chen Zhiyuan, the big boss of Liang Zishan, had some friendship with me before, and was recently targeted by the Luzhou Town Army, and he couldn't bear it, and I heard that I accepted your recruitment, so I planned to vote for you, this is the letter that Chen Zhiyuan brought to me, and the specific situation is said in it." General Lee knew it at a glance. β
Li Congjing took the letter, unfolded it, and already knew about it in his heart, the situation was basically as Tao Xiaoxiao said, the Luzhou Zhenjun took a fancy to the strength of Liang Zishan and decided to take it in, but his attitude and rhetoric were extremely strong, Chen Zhiyuan was also a lover, and he couldn't stand the domineering of the Luzhou Zhenjun, so he planned to come to Li Congjing.
This is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, Li Congjing was about to deal with Li Jitao, and he didn't know how to get to know him first, but the opportunity was immediately delivered to him.
And Liang Zishan just gave Li Congjing an excuse to act.
Putting down the letter, Li Congjing said: "Li Jitao of Luzhou is also an important minister of the Great Jin Dynasty. β
Tao Yaoyao bit the straw, raised her eyelids and looked at Li Congjing, "It means that you and Li Jitao are officials in the same dynasty and have their own affairs, so you can't interfere in his affairs?" β
Li Congjing smiled, looked directly at Tao Yaoyao, and said seriously: "On the contrary, I am most disgusted with this kind of disloyal, unfilial piety and unrighteous person, although I can't control him on weekdays, but since the heroes of Liang Zishan are willing to take refuge in the Hundred Battles Army, how can I ignore it?" β
Tao Yaoyao frowned and stared at Li Congjing, "Why are you looking at me like this?" β
"Oh, sorry, faux pas." Li Congjing hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
Tao Yaoyao let go and leaned against the stone fence behind him, and said seemingly casually: "When he decides to send troops to Liangzi Mountain, remember to inform me, since I am the middleman, I will send the Buddha to the west and accompany you on a trip." β
"So, thank you Taoda." Li Congjing hugged his fists and thanked him.
"It doesn't matter." Tao Yaoyao stood up and beckoned to her maid, "If it's okay, I'll leave first." β
Li Congjing stood up, "It's easy to go." β
Tao Xiaoyao waved her hand and walked away lazily, her steps were very loose, her back was very free, as if she didn't care about anything.
"Big boss." Li Congjing suddenly stopped her. After Tao Yao turned around, Li Congjing asked with a smile: "Don't ask, don't ask, how is the current situation of the disciples in Immortal Mountain?" β
Tao Yaoyao's movement of bowing her head was invisible, and her voice was very soft, like the sun that was about to set, "Since they have joined your Hundred Battles Army, they are your soldiers, I can't control them for a long time, and I don't have the authority to take care of them, since that's the case, why bother asking." β
Li Congjing was silent for a while, and then hugged his fist to Tao Yaoyao again, "In any case, let Li say one more thing: Please rest assured." β
He said it a little cluelessly, but she could fully understand what he meant. In the evening breeze, she showed a shallow smile, like a colorful peony blooming in an ink painting.
Li Congjing looked at the back of Tao Yaoyao leaving, was silent for a long time, and murmured: "You handed over Liang Zishan's letter to me, and made a special appointment to explain the situation to me, and you are willing to accompany me to Liang Zishan." You didn't have to do so much, but you did, not so much for me to take care of the Immortal Mountain disciples? β
Li Congjing sighed, "Zhao Xiangyao, how lucky they are to have a big boss like you." β
