Half a month is fleeting.

At this time, it is close to winter, and the heavy rain in Wanling County has completely pulled down the temperature, if you follow the modern air temperature, it is now less than ten degrees, compared with thirty or forty degrees some time ago, it is much better.

In the past half a month, Qin Shuang has come to Cloud City many times, but he was intimidated by Huang Quan's use of Li Zhi as a threat, Qin Shuang has no countermeasures against this, because Li Zhi is his eldest brother, he can't care about his life or death, he can't do it.

Jia Hui is in charge of recruitment, the effect is very good, recruiting 20,000 recruits, just equipping those equipment that is not used, but soldiers are good recruits, but food is a big problem, Zhang Meng took hundreds of soldiers to run around to borrow food, but unfortunately, all the cities with a little strength will not hand over the food, close the city gate, Zhang Meng can not do anything?

Fortunately, there is a small county town fifty miles north of Yuncheng, and the county soldiers in this city are only five hundred.

It was drizzling, and training was still taking place on the school ground, and Sun Yu was holding a spear and teaching the soldiers to stab over and over again.

Wang Xu, Jia Hui, and Zhang Meng came to the school field, where the war drums roared and the sound shook the sky; Listening to this drum, every soldier was extremely excited, in fact, Wang Xu knew that these soldiers didn't know anything about right and wrong at all, and no matter who was in power in Guxi County, all they needed was a mouthful of food, Jia Hui was able to recruit 20,000 recruits in such a short period of time, more than half of them were food, as long as they joined the army, they would not have to worry about food.

While walking, Zhang Meng said, "Lord, do you still borrow grain?" ”

Wang Xu sighed: "No need, look at the luck you also borrowed, it took half a month to get three thousand dans." ”

Zhang Meng was extremely aggrieved, if he was asked to kill the enemy, he would be 10,000 willing, but the people in the city just didn't come out, and as soon as the door was closed, the five hundred people couldn't attack the city, so they could only stare at the city.

"Lord, this is really hard to borrow."

Jia Hui is in charge of the management of the grain, and he is a little worried: "The grain is only enough for half a month, lord, we have to think of a way in advance." ”

Wang Xu continued to sigh, this peasant uprising is trouble, there is no own territory, no logistics supply, if you want to survive, you can only rob, but in this way, you will really become a thief, which is not tolerated by the world.

Thinking about the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, how huge the momentum of the Zhang Jiao Uprising was, but the food, gold and silver had to be grabbed together, otherwise how could the army support it?

After thinking about it, Wang Xu said, "Let's train these 20,000 soldiers first, and after five days, we will have food after defeating Qin Shuang." ”

Jia Hui stroked his beard, now there is only this, Qin Shuang has never been short of food, it is said that a few days ago, several surrounding counties successively operated tens of thousands of dens of military rations to him.

The military rations were put aside in advance, and Wang Xu walked into the barracks and came to Sun Yu.

Looking at Sun Yu, Wang Xu said, "How's the training?" ”

Sun Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There are too many people, and the effect is very poor, I'm afraid it will be difficult to form any combat effectiveness within a month." ”

One month is too long, Wang Xu thought for a while and said: "The cavalry is my killer weapon to deal with Qin Shuang, from now on, you should step up the training of cavalry." ”

"And what about the 20,000 recruits?" Sun Yu said.

Wang Xu called a soldier and gave a few words, and then the soldier quickly ran outside the school field, Wang Xu turned around and said: "Train the recruits and hand it over to Huang Quan, Qin Shuang has not been here for several days, the city defense should be fine, besides, we now have nearly 30,000 soldiers, even if he Qin Shuang comes, I am not afraid of him." ”

Sun Yu nodded and immediately went to gather the cavalry.

After a while, Huang Quan came to the school, and when he got closer, Huang Quan said, "Lord, what's the matter?" ”

Pointing to the 20,000 recruits standing on the school ground, Wang Xu said: "From now on, the training of recruits will be handed over to you, after Sun Yu finished selecting the soldiers, there are still 2,000 of our previous soldiers left, and you will organize these 2,000 people into these 20,000 people, and serve as captains, ten commanders, centurions, captains and other official positions, so that it will be much easier for you to train soldiers." ”

"No."

Suddenly remembering something, Wang Xu said: "What about Li Zhi? ”

"In the cave of the hidden soldiers at the south gate." Huang Quandao.

After a while, Wang Xu and the others walked out of the school and went straight to the city gate.

"Mr. Jia, do you think it is possible for Li Zhi to surrender?"

Jia Hui thought for a while: "There is not much hope, if he has the intention of surrendering, he will surrender as early as when he was in Wanling County, why wait until now." ”

Wang Xu thought about it, but even if Li Zhi didn't surrender, he wouldn't kill him, in terms of strategy and talent, Li Zhizhi's talent was never under Sun Yu, it would be a pity to kill him.

Of course, it is even more impossible to let him go, because it is Zhou Yi's person, and after he is released, there will be constant trouble, and in the future, the two armies will fight, and it will be himself who will suffer, which will add many obstacles to defeating Zhou Yi out of thin air.

Came to the city wall, asked the soldiers to open the hiding hole, and the three of them walked in.

The light here is relatively dim, at most three zhang square, Wang Xu from a distance saw Li Zhi who was tied to the pillar, he looked a lot haggard, and the corners of his mouth were white playful.

"This kid isn't dead yet." Zhang Meng laughed.

Wang Xu rolled his eyes, if Li Zhi was dead, then Qin Shuang would have come in a long time ago.

Shrugging his shoulders, Wang Xu stepped forward and looked at Li Zhidao: "General Li, don't come unharmed." ”

"Thanks to you, I can't die yet." Li Zhi said with difficulty.

Wang Xu shook his head and said, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Li Zhi was angry, and said lightly: "You still kill me, Li Zhi wants to die!" ”

Wang Xu shook his head: "I won't kill you." ”

Jia Hui looked at it for a while, and said a little puzzled: "Lord, General Li looks too weak, he shouldn't be, he was just tied up for a few days, but now it looks like he hasn't eaten for several days." ”

Wang Xu looked at it carefully, and felt a little strange, he asked Li Zhi, but he didn't say anything.

Walking out of the cave, the two soldiers guarding this place were called, and Wang Xu said, "Didn't you give General Li food?" Why are you so weak? ”

The two soldiers were submissive, their eyes dodged, and they said intermittently: "My lord, give it." ”

Jia Hui asked tentatively on the side, "It can't be that you ate General Li's meal, right?" ”

The two soldiers glanced at each other, knelt down in unison and said, "The subordinates should be damned, he doesn't eat, so."

Now Wang Xu understood, waved his hand and sent away the two soldiers, and he came to Li Zhi again: "If you insist on begging for death, I can't stop it, but." ”

After a pause, Wang Xu said: "Originally, I still wanted to surrender the 8,000 infantry thirty miles away, but if you die, then there is no one to lead them, so what is the use of me staying, as soon as you die, I will lead the army to kill them all, and no one will be left." ”

"You know, these people died because of you!"

Li Zhi smiled disdainfully: "It's up to you? Since the battle in Wanling County, your subordinates have lost all their losses, at most 7,000 people, and they are all new soldiers, and Qin Shuang's 8,000 foot soldiers are all veterans I have trained for many years, what can you do? If you really have that ability, why are you using me to coerce Qin Shuang to withdraw from the army these days? ”

Li Zhidao: "It's really unashamed. ”

Wang Xu smiled: "People will improve, do you know how many soldiers and horses I have now?" ”

Looking at Wang Xu's confident appearance, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Li Zhi's heart.

Sure enough, Wang Xu then said: "The general now has 22,000 infantry troops and 5,000 elite cavalry, and the equipment is no worse than that of the imperial court, and now he is in training, if Qin Shuang dares to come again, I will definitely call him to come and not return!" ”

"You" Li Zhi stammered. He forgot about this stubble, Wang Xu is a thief, he is not bound by the imperial court at all, as long as there is food, he can recruit troops at any time.

If you want to improve your strength, it's just a thought.
