Chapter Eighty-Four: What is the Iron Army?
Listening to Li Hong's words, Liu Hao glanced at him: "Then what are you going to do?" If the Cui family knows that a prince is here, they will go crazy and arrest you, and then exchange the Cui family's life with the court. So for your safety, it's not your right to show up. As for the merits, don't worry, I will personally write the military report for the merits, and I will definitely not wipe out your merits this time. ”
Li Hong frowned and said, "Uncle thinks that a certain person is the kind of person who is greedy for merit?" I don't want to take any credit this time! ”
Liu Hao sighed: "Sometimes, you have to ask for such a thing as credit, not only for yourself, but for you to have a more stable force in your hands." When everyone knows that you will be promoted and make a fortune, no one can stop you from rising. Come to think of it, I'm not going to play with you. ”
Li Hong lowered his head and was silent, thinking that he couldn't accept such a fact. I thought that everyone was together as a friendship, but it was only later that I realized that it was just a transaction. It's just that people live and don't they just want to have a pursuit, either fame or profit. They help you when you are in power, and you elevate them when you are in power, which is an exchange and a way to stabilize the relationship, and if you think you are playing at home, then no one will play with you.
Liu Hao has nothing to say to Li Hong, in fact, he knows it himself, but the friendship is mixed with transactions, and he always feels that something is defiled.
Lu Yue asked Liu Hao at this time: "What about those rich merchants and gentry in the nearby county?" Seriously, if we wait for the Cui family to be arrested, I'm afraid that the officials of the entire Datang will not be able to sit still. And now no one knows which officials have private dealings with the Cui family. ”
Liu Hao snatched the last piece of dim sum from Gao Shi's hand and stuffed it into his mouth and said, "Don't think about it so much, we are just ordered to arrest people." If those rich merchants and gentry dare to stop it, then even they will clean it up. By the way, when we were on the road, we began to spread the dirty things about the Cui family. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it must be said truthfully, it is better not to exaggerate, and it is best to be ambiguous. ”
Lu Yue laughed: "I've already asked people to collect it." Since ancient times, the people of Hebei have been fierce, and every year there will be people who disappear or die because of their courage and ruthlessness. No matter whose family's affairs it is, it's all on the Cui family. This is spread all over the Tang Dynasty, and whoever wants to intercede with the Cui family must also weigh it carefully. ”
Liu Hao nodded, as long as those officials under the banner of justice and the like calm down, I believe that many people will choose to protect themselves. After all, not many people will give up their glory and net worth because of the grace of carrying them, although some people will make a lot of noise because of the scholarly anger, but dealing with scholars is much simpler than dealing with those old foxes, hehe!
After waiting for two days in Guangzong, the soldiers from Luoyang finally rushed over. However, after Lu Yue's statistics, he found that more than a dozen people were lost on the road. Some were intercepted and killed by bandits, and some were killed by Maitreya sneak attacks. However, none of the squads were wiped out, which may be the only piece of good news that wasn't good news.
When Lu Yue finished speaking with tears in his eyes, Liu Hao looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "It's still too hasty, if they have a month of wilderness survival training, this will never happen." After returning home, the military academy replenished manpower and seized the time to devote itself to training. Within a year, I want to build an iron army! ”
Gao Shi looked at Liu Hao curiously: "What is Tiejun?" ”
Liu Hao said to him word by word: "Stand like a pine, sit like a clock, walk like the wind, and lie like a bow!" With the discipline of steel and the will of steel, even if you fight to the last man, it will be a torrent of steel for the enemy! In their hearts, there is no word for escape, there is no word for surrender, and their existence is to completely wipe out the enemy in front of them! ”
Gao Shi listened to Liu Hao's words and couldn't stop gasping: "If it is such an army, then even if you give up this life, you have to squeeze in!" After my Gao family is also a famous general, if Zhicai can be trusted as a brother, don't stop it, and make a brick on the Great Wall of steel to protect the family and defend the country! ”
Liu Hao looked at Gao Shi's excited expression, and couldn't help but feel that the ancients valued the glory of the family, if Gao Shi really became a general, the rest of the family would be honored even if they were doing business and farming. They didn't want to make a fortune by relying on Gao Shi or anything like that, and they felt in their hearts that they had not dishonored the reputation of their ancestors.
Liu Hao walked up to Gao Shi, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If possible, this iron army will be under your personal command." Don't insult the name of the Iron Army. Remember, the Iron Army will always be a nightmare for your enemies! ”
Gao Shi nodded heavily at him, and then went to contact the group of soldiers. Lu Yue came to Liu Hao's side and said shyly: "Da Lang, you gave up this iron army to Brother Zhongwu, what about so-and-so?" ”
Liu Hao smiled: "My territory of the Tang Dynasty is so vast, you are still worried about leading troops, just build another iron army then." And I have always had an idea, that is, to go into the depths of the grassland, and use the methods of the Hu people to burn and kill the grassland tribes and rob them all with the means of my Tang people, is Brother Lu willing to go? ”
Lu Yue lowered his head very shyly when he heard this: "What Da Lang said, who doesn't know that a certain person is the most particular about convincing people with virtue, and he really can't do such a thing." However, as the saying goes, once raw and twice cooked, try it as much as possible, hehe! ”
Li Hong saw that the two sluts were laughing together like thieves, so he came over curiously: "What are you talking about?" Let's hear it. ”
Then Lu Yue whispered a few words in his ear, but when Li Hong heard this, he immediately leaned over to the two of them and whispered: "If possible, I also want to go for a ride in the grassland, enjoy the magnificent scenery of the grassland, and feel the alien customs." ”
Liu Hao patted the former prince: "Do you feel that your face is hot and a little hot when you say this?" ”
Li Hong didn't know what was going on, and nodded subconsciously. Liu Hao said to him earnestly: "Don't worry, this is not a disease, it's just a natural reaction to lying." ”
Li Hong touched his face and asked Lu Yue: "So-and-so's face is very red?" ”
Lu Yue nodded, reached out and opened his pants to reveal the red underwear inside, and said: "This is called underwear, it was bought from Princess Xingyang and Baguio's sister-in-law's shop, it is very comfortable to wear, and there is no need to make things like crotch cloth that make the whole body unpleasant." ”
Li Hong was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Lu Yue smiled cheaply: "I just want to say that His Royal Highness's face is similar to the color of his underwear." After saying that, he picked up his pants and ran away with a smile.
Li Hong looked at Liu Hao angrily: "Uncle, you make fun of Yu like this, isn't it okay?" Besides, I actually think it's good to burn, kill and loot like Hu Ren, at least I live a good enough life! I won't be as scared as I am living. ”
Liu Hao patted him on the shoulder: "At the end of this mission, you are Lu Yue's lieutenant!" You lack a blood in your body, and after three or five years in the army, if you don't die, you will definitely become a person. ”
After a day's rest, it's finally time to set off for Qinghe. Now there are no less than 3,000 knights around Guangzong, and from this number, we can understand how considerable the surplus labor force in the Tang Dynasty was, and it can be seen from the fact that they all have good martial arts and sophisticated weapons, and the living standards of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty are also not comparable to other dynasties, after all, it is a big expense for ordinary people to build weapons for their children and hire martial artists.
Everyone walked on one side of the road, and some of the mounts hurried ahead to inquire for ambushes and the like. Liu Hao and others walked behind with their own soldiers. Some people walk, some people walk. In the end, Li Hong led a hundred and ten people, driving hundreds of horses and pretending to be horse dealers.
Li Hong is the key to whether everyone can get rid of it, because God knows how much the defenders in this area have been infiltrated by the Cui family. After Liu Hao and the others complete their tasks and leave, there are many people rushing to suppress the Cui family, and the internal seizure of power within the Cui family will also be staged. Anyway, in general, as long as the arrest is successful this time, the Qinghe Cui family will fall apart, and there will be no strength to override the court.
Thinking of this, Liu Hao rode on a horse and couldn't help but sing a very famous song from his previous life:
If evil is a gorgeous and cruel movement,
I'll write it by hand at the end.
The light of the morning sun dries the last line of sorrow,
Black ink dyes serenity!
Lu Yue slapped his mount a few times, came to Liu Hao's side and said, "What kind of song did Da Lang sing just now?" Why has I never heard you sing? Is it new? ”
Gao Shi pulled his beard aside and said, "Such a strange tune sounds like evil has finally been defeated and the dead have been laid to rest. Is it right for my brother? ”
Liu Hao pretended to nod. In his previous life, he didn't study this song, but a girl liked to listen to it, and Liu Hao learned it. Singing this song just now was a completely subconscious reaction, perhaps because I thought that I was proud of easily winning a big family.
However, the ancients said: kill people to death, pretend to be forced to the end. Liu Hao immediately said: "This song is just that I thought that I would be able to clean up a family immediately, and I couldn't help but feel proud, this song was sung completely subconsciously, just a few words." ”
Gao Shi smacked his lips and said, "Just these few words, it sounds really unfinished, and I always feel that there are many more." Zhicai might as well think about it and continue the previous paragraph. ”
Liu Hao shook his head and joked. How do you explain the lyrics in this song, like "typewriter" or the like? Besides, this song can make people tired half to death when sung, and it's okay to be tired, the key is that you can't spit out the lyrics when you sing it fast, so in order to prevent this group of people from tying themselves up as crazy, let's skip this topic quickly.
Guangzong is only 100 miles away from Qinghe, and after resting on the road for a night, he arrived at Qinghe the next day. The Cui family is not in Qinghe County, but has built a large manor outside the city, like a castle. The people in the main house of the Cui family live here, giving orders to the entire family.
