Chapter 165: Harvest, Return
Old Medical Officer Sun, have you seen it?! These are the two good apprentices you have worked hard to teach, full of demon kings and bandits in the mixed world, who always want to make a fortune when they have nothing to do, and they still suppress bandits every day to protect the territory and the people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Those bandits died too unjustly, they were small bandits met big bandits, and they were caught by fire. You deserve it, who let you not look long and dangle in front of the big bandits, aren't you looking for death? As for what is to protect the territory and the people, it is just a banner.
The affairs of the world are probably like this, those who are tyrannical are just because others have hindered them, or have obstacles to interests, they have to play a well-known banner to clean up these stumbling blocks. Weibei Camp, of course, is no exception, at least not yet, and it can't get rid of this model.
Old Medical Officer Sun nodded, "The apprentices have done a good job, and they have won the heart of a teacher. "Di Dashuai was because he controlled the tax draw from the north and moved the cake of the entire northern family in the world on weekdays, so they made a black hand behind his back and beat the black fist. His old man died so aggrieved in the end, which of the wealthy families in the north who participated in the secret trade of the grassland in the world on weekdays had nothing to do with it, and which one could get rid of it cleanly? Who knows if the Li family was involved in this matter back then.
Gold and silver wealth are moving, and in the face of huge interests, none of these wealthy families are clean. Weibei Camp has been weak for so many years, and is busy struggling to survive, but it has never forgotten this hatred, but it has no choice but to be weak before, so it can only take care of itself first. Now that he has regained a certain strength, of course, he has to settle accounts with these wealthy families.
This is why the Weibei Battalion has been fighting in the east and west all these years, and has not let go of any of them, and everyone has to fight, and they have not formed an alliance with anyone at all. Weibei camp is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard. It's just because all the wealthy families in the north, as long as they have secret trade with the barbarians on the grassland, are all potential enemies of the Weibei camp. Some of them have been wiped out by the Tuliao people, even if they are still there, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Weibei camp has a grudge against them to kill their father.
It is strange that Weibei Camp can show mercy to these giants now. At that time, Di Dashuai single-handedly founded the Weibei Camp, for the peace of the world, for all the people of Pingzhou, overcoming all difficulties, guarding the border passes, and resisting the outside of the fortress for decades, but ended up being framed by the wealthy family guarded, and the hero died a miserable ending on the sickbed for a while. If Weibei Camp turns its head and sells well to the Li family now, it will be called deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors.
Old Medical Officer Sun nodded and promised that his apprentice would marry the daughter of the Li family, but on the surface, it looked indifferent, but in fact, the old man didn't know how much demon he had to overcome, so he nodded lightly. Of course, Medical Officer Xiao Liu knew what the master meant, so he didn't care about the Li family since then, and he never took the initiative to contact the Li family.
And this time he sent troops to help the Li family attack Luodu City, which sounds like this, but in fact, the Weibei camp has its own considerations. The first is to show strength, Wang Songcheng has suffered several consecutive losses in the hands of Weibei Camp before, and he has long lost his mind. But after all, the Li family is a newcomer to cross the river, and the Weibei camp must show his minions against this newcomer, let him know that he knows that it is powerful, and the Li family in the province will be careful to think about it, and when the time comes, it will be in vain. It is to tell the Li family that near my Weibei camp, you have to coil if it is a dragon, and you have to lie down if it is a tiger! Otherwise, I'll take care of you!
In fact, the reason why the Weibei camp is so horizontal and so flustered is that everyone who is not pleasing to the eye will be beaten and stepped on. It's not really that much strength, otherwise they would have annexed these families around them a long time ago, and they would have withdrawn with a punch? Weibeiying's kind of horizontal, to put it bluntly, is poor. Anyway, I'm barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, I don't have any family business, just such a poor and broken North County, if you want to fight, come.
Wasn't it the case in Shimaizhou at the beginning, the Weibei Battalion destroyed his 20,000 elite men and horses in a battle, and the general Guo Wuchang was also gone. Shimaizhou was furious and wanted to conquer the Weibei battalion, but all the generals under his command suffered great losses because the Weibei battalion was poor and fierce, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Facing the Li family, Weibeiying is also like this, under the guise of helping the old man and marrying a daughter-in-law by the way, this is the teacher is famous. Then drove all the way to the city of Luodu, blew open the north gate of Luodu, and set up a formation, just waiting for the Li family to crash in.
If it wasn't for the preparations made in advance, why did Li Xinxiao rush at the beginning, and the Weibei battalion set up a position and just withstood the charge of the Flying Tiger Battalion? Say you didn't prepare in advance, liar the ghost? Without preparation, he was able to withstand the onslaught of the Eight Thousand Flying Tiger Battalion, and he also captured the master of the family alive? You are too much to take the village chief as a cadre.
Second, it is necessary to take advantage of the fall of Wang Songcheng to reap a handful of benefits. To tell the truth, the Li family can capture Luodu City with or without Weibei Battalion. Wang Songcheng has been angry and resentful for more than a year, and everyone in Luodu City is in danger and wants to take him down, but there is no chance. Now that the Li family comes, as long as the battle reaches a certain level, the wealthy families in Luodu City will inevitably take over the Li family from the inside.
The difference is that with the Weibei Battalion, the Li family can lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it can also save a lot of time. It's like a giant city like Xijing Luodu, built near the water, if it is not besieged for a year or two, it will not be able to be captured. This siege lasted for five or six years, and it was even possible.
With the participation of the Weibei battalion, the Li family was able to capture Luodu in less than two months, and the loss of soldiers and horses was greatly reduced, just to pay a girl and the equipment of the 8,000 Flying Tiger Battalion. These things sound like a lot, but to the Li family, to the entire Luodu City, they are insignificant at all. As for the daughters, sooner or later they will have to marry other families for the benefit of the family. Whoever it is given is given, and it depends on who brings the most benefits to the Li family. Weibei Camp can give the Li family a whole Xijing Luodu, of course, it will be honored to win this standard, and Medical Officer Xiao Liu successfully hugged the beauty.
As for Weibeiying, of course, they will not be satisfied with this little profit, and those wealthy businessmen in Luodu City are their ultimate goal. Medical Officer Xiao Liu has been back and forth to Luodu several times, and he has long been attracted by their sky-high wealth, and when he has the opportunity, of course he has to take a bite. Now in this troubled era, this is the case, even if Weibei Camp does not take it, these wealthy businessmen will be the meat in the Li family's bowl sooner or later, and there is no possibility of being spared.
In this troubled world, it is so cruel. There are soldiers and generals who have the final say, and other wealth, status, power, and beauty are just dry bones in their own graves, and fat on other people's tables.
Weibeiying and the Li family have an indescribable hatred in the past, and they took the opportunity to make a lot of money, how could they change their minds because the Li family handed over a girl and that little equipment?
Therefore, now that Medical Officer Xiao Liu can release Li Xinxiao and give him a short knife to defend himself, it is a great tolerance, and it is completely for the sake of Li Xiuming's face.
Let's come to Japan for a long time, eat one bite at a time, calculate the accounts one by one, and don't rush for a while. The group of wealthy and powerful people who harmed Di Dashuai back then, Old Medical Officer Sun has been slowly inquiring about them all these years, and they are all recorded in a small book one by one. Old Medical Officer Sun has endured it for 20 years, and finally endured it until now, Weibei Camp has improved. The matter of avenging Di Dashuai, the old man has always been obsessed, and now it is slowly on the agenda, otherwise why would he give Li Deyi the matter of those Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains. As for marrying the daughter of the Li family, it is just a personal affair of children, and the eldest husband will not be bound by the love of this child.
Weibeiying went out this time, not only earned back all the money and food spent before, but also earned a lot of good things for nothing. Especially the weapons, armor and war horses of the 8,000 Flying Tiger Battalion, which are now full of war, are good things that money can't buy.
There is no need to rush home anymore, and it is not possible to walk fast with so many harvested supplies. A few days later, Dingbei County transferred a lot of soldiers and people to help carry it, which accelerated the pace of return.
After returning to Dingbei County, Li Deyi went to visit Master first as usual, and then he couldn't wait to check the homework assigned to those children. As for the eight children brought with him this time, Li Deyi didn't dare to let them go into battle at all, but just let the eight of them stay in the camp from afar and watch.
Li Deyi himself fought with the Tuliao people when he was ten years old, and there was no other way to go but to fight hard. Now that Li Deyi has the ability, of course he has to take good care of his students, but he is reluctant to let them go to the battlefield to fight for their lives now, at least until he is thirteen or fourteen years old and grows up.
Although they didn't go into battle, after these eight children returned from Luodu City, they immediately became the center of the children. The other children surrounded the eight of them, asking this and that, and wished they could go to the scene of the battle of tens of thousands of people. These eight children talked over and over again about the fierce battle of the army they had seen, which was actually the battle between the Weibei battalion and Li Xinxiao's 8,000 flying tiger battalion. Listen to the rest of the children as starry eyes and envy. Li Deyi made a fuss with these children for a while, and then asked them to take out their homework and check them one by one.
After Dr. Xiao Liu came back, he first discussed secretly with the master for a while, and then he didn't know what to do. Mr. Li is staying in the horse farm on the grassland, not in the county seat of Dingbei.
Li Deyi rested for a day, and the next day he received an order from his senior brother to bring the war horses he got from Li's family to the horse farm in the north. Since the Weibei camp occupied the horse farm in the north, it began to send displaced people to repair the road to the grassland in the north. By now, most of the road has been paved with pebbles fished out of the river, and the rest has been rammed to build the foundation, so it is a lot easier to walk. Li Deyi has a "hummer" in this horse, and the king and mule are following, and it is most suitable to drive these war horses. Along the way, Li Deyi took the 200 cavalry behind him, and he was always thinking about the good things in the future.
What's the good thing? With the three thousand war horses sent by the Li family, the cavalry of the Weibei battalion can finally be formed. The hard days of tightening the belt of the past and barely being able to pull out the 200 cavalry are gone!
Moreover, Li De had checked it repeatedly in the morning, and among the three thousand war horses, many of them were stallions that had not been castrated, which could be used as breeding stallions. Thinking about the majestic appearance of commanding tens of thousands of cavalry in the future, Li Deyi naturally felt very beautiful in his heart. I don't know how to worry when I'm young, that's what I'm talking about.
Li Deyi now has only 200 cavalry under his command, and there are few people, and there are few related things such as command, logistics, morale, etc., so he has the leisure time to dream. When he really has tens of thousands of cavalry in his hands, the food and grass alone will be enough for him to have a headache, not to mention the on-site command and dispatch of the tens of thousands of troops. Why does Medical Officer Xiao Liu rarely go into battle in person now, it's not that he doesn't want to, it's because he shoulders the heavy responsibility of command, and the situation does not allow him to go into battle in person. At that time, Li Deyi could not personally ride a "Humvee" to gallop across the country, and was forced to stay behind the battle and command honestly, I don't know if he would come out with a smile or not. However, Li De has always been very wild, and maybe he will have special tricks.
All the way to the horse farm, Li Deyi also left the two hundred cavalry. Now these war horses are the baby bumps (ga) of the Weibei camp, but nothing can happen. In peacetime, these cavalry are not needed to guard the county, and they are placed in the horse farm, which is just right to rest the war horses and defend the horse farm at the same time. Besides, during the days of the expedition, the houses in the horse farm were also built, enough for the 200 cavalry to be stationed and rest.
As soon as Li De had arranged all the relevant affairs, he began to rush back, thinking as he walked on the road, it was time to expand the cavalry recruitment, and first expand the recruitment to 500 people. It's not that he doesn't want to do more, the cavalry is a class, it's not that you can do it on horseback, you have to be able to ride on a horse to cut it. It looks like there is one more slashing action, but the technical content required by this action is really scary, and it will not work at all without long-term and extensive training.
Take Li Deyi as an example, when he first rode on the "Humvee", he couldn't make a move at all, so he could only lie on the back of the "Humvee" and follow the blind rush. It wasn't until later that he and Hejing became complete, his knowledge of the sea was greatly strengthened, and his hand-eye coordination ability was far beyond that of ordinary people, so that he could slash and kill on the back of the "Humvee". Ordinary soldiers could not cultivate the original qi, so they could only rely on a large number of repetitive exercises to become proficient in this process.
In layman's terms, it is to practice the action of riding a horse and cutting people into a conditioned reflex. This is not easy to practice, the war horse sprints with all its might, the speed is extremely fast, plus the weight of the person and the war horse, it adds up to thousands of catties, and the combination of these two things brings the momentum that is amazing. Under such a large momentum, swinging a knife to cut someone, the force of that arm is also terrifying, and if you are not careful, you will break your arm.
Therefore, in order to facilitate the laxative force, the sabers used by the cavalry were all curved, very light, and not as heavy as the machetes of the infantry. Moreover, after the cavalry rushed up at the speed of the horse, it would not swing the knife violently, as long as the saber was gently placed in the right position in the rapid sprint with the horsepower, and the sharp blade would naturally cut through the enemy's body with the huge momentum brought by the war horse. The difficulty of cavalry training is also here, how to make those recruits accurately put their sabers in position on the horses that are running rapidly and constantly bumping, this can be practiced. And this ability can't be tricked, you can only train a lot and practice it well.
After returning to Weibei Camp, Li Deyi took the children and the students as usual to take a literacy class in the classroom of the Steel School. Then he continued to hone his forging skills with the three blacksmiths.
As soon as Li De came back that day, Zhou Quan, the eldest of the blacksmiths, suddenly found him alone and said that he had made something incredible.
