Chapter 39: Preparation I
"Li Erhan, what do you say we should do now?" Zhao Yi asked casually.
Li Erhan said: "Eliminate the evil!" ”
Zhao Yi frowned, and shouted coldly: "Who are you?" Fool me again, I don't mind cutting off your dog's head! ”
"The villain Situ Liang is a hundred useless scholars!" Li Erhan raised his head and raised his chest and said lightly.
"Oh? Scholar? Then how did you get into the bandits? Zhao Di heard the other party say that he was a scholar, and he was happy in his heart, Crouching Tiger Mountain has everything, the only thing missing is a literate reader, Li Chenfeng, who usually manages logistics and miscellaneous affairs, often said in Zhao Xi's ear, a mess of things, which made his head big.
Situ Liang's face was sad, and he said in a low voice: "The son of the county lord fell in love with my wife, and my family was ruined, and my wife was also forced to hang herself. In order to take revenge, I joined the horse bandits. Who knows, these horse bandits are all evil, harming the Quartet, harming the people, and they don't dare to collide with those officials at all. I couldn't get out, so I stayed with the bandits until now. ”
"That county grandfather is really damned! Have you taken your revenge? When Li Ruolan heard this, she immediately scolded the county princess she didn't know.
Situ Liang said bitterly: "How can it be so easy, that bastard usually carries dozens of families, and he doesn't go out of the city, what can I do with him?" ”
"Okay, you will definitely take revenge, I also have enemies, and the youngest one is still the captain of Yifu! As long as you follow me, you will definitely achieve your goals. Zhao Yi whispered in front of Situ Liang.
When Situ Liang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said excitedly: "Situ Liang's life will be sold to his son, but he is driven to do everything." "Since the other party has revealed his private affairs, it is okay for him to take refuge in the other party, as long as he can kill that bastard. What's more, I don't have a choice.
"Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?" Zhao Yi admired the other party's cleanliness very much, there was no sour atmosphere at all, and it may also be because he had stayed in the horse bandits, if you don't see it, a scholar is about to become a pawn.
Situ Liang glanced at Zhao Xian, and asked with a smile: "If I don't surrender, will Gongzi let me go?" In addition, I saw Childe's methods in this battle, and I also believe that you are not an ordinary person, and I believe that you can let me kill the person I want to kill. ”
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "If you don't surrender and fool me, I won't leave you, do you know why?" I have heard such a saying: If you are not afraid of mountain bandits and robbers, you are afraid that mountain bandits and robbers are educated! I can assist you in your revenge, provided that you serve me. ”
"Never give up!"
"Sima Yan, kill those people, don't leave any of them!" Zhao Xi's cold voice came. Sima Yan had long hated these horse bandits, and despite the pleas of these people, he was executed on the spot.
"By the way, don't call me Childe, call me Adult, everyone else calls me that, Adult is more imposing than Childe!"
Listening to the voice coming from ahead, Situ Liang was shocked: This young man is so ruthless, but these horse bandits really deserve to die, and they should be killed.
"Situ Liang, how many people are there in this gang of horse bandits? Where is the nest? ”
"There were more than 210 people in all, divided into two, most of them staying in the Sheep Valley only ten miles from here, and a small part staying in the village where we stayed before. In addition to providing information for operations, we are also responsible for selling stolen goods, buying daily necessities, and monitoring the situation of surrounding government soldiers and bandits. Situ Liang explained one by one.
Zhao Yi said with a smile: "So in this way, who am I, you should also know?" ”
Situ Liang smiled and said, "I didn't know before, but I have already guessed it, and the adult must be the new master who destroyed the old scar of Wohu Mountain." This gang of horse bandits robbed a batch of grain, and later learned that it was yours, so frightened that they did not dare to come out to move. They couldn't even fight the mountain bandits in Wohu Mountain, let alone destroy the new mountain bandits in Wohu Mountain. ”
Zhao Yi was about to let Situ Liang take him to the bandit's lair, but was interrupted by the sentry detective.
"Report! My lord, the cottage is here, and the second sentinel and the adult's personal guard are less than three miles away. "These sentries are all the best of the ladies in the stroke, and Zhao Yi deliberately let them lurk in the surrounding villages to beware of accidents.
Hearing the report of the sentry, Zhao Yi frowned: Why did they come here, didn't they say, let them train well? Could something be accidental?
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
A rumbling sound came, and a black cloud appeared in the sight of Zhao Yi and the others, and one of them was red like a flame, floating up and down.
Coming to Zhao Xi's body, Zhao Xiong, Xu He, Zhao Ning and Zhao Qingshan all rolled down their horses together, walked quickly in front of Zhao Xi, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "My subordinates have seen adults!" The two hundred or so men behind the four also dismounted and knelt on one knee and stood with their heads bowed.
Zhao Yi was confused, he usually met them, but he hadn't seen them like this.
Seeing Zhao Xi's inexplicable appearance, Zhao Xiong hurriedly explained: "Master Su said that since you have become an army, you must have dignity and humility, military law and military discipline, and you can't call it indiscriminately, so as not to have no fear among the soldiers, and it will cause inconvenience to command at that time." Uncle Li and Li Lingfeng also thought that Master Su was reasonable, so they formulated a series of rules. In addition, there are some military laws that require the approval of adults themselves. ”
Zhao Yi nodded secretly when he heard this, what Su Yun said was reasonable, the army must have respect and humility, and those who are in command must have their own majesty, otherwise how to deter those arrogant generals.
Looking at the more than 200 people who surrendered in front of him, Zhao Yi was suddenly touched somewhere in his heart. "Okay, it's all my own brothers, get up! The four of you too, if there are no outsiders, don't be like this, let's call me big brother! ”
After everyone got up, Zhao Xi asked, "Why did you come here?" It's not just for this, is it? ”
Zhao Xiong shook his head and said: "No, it is Sima Yun who has made a move, according to Li Luobei's spies, Sima Yun has begun to slowly collect the soldiers and horses that belonged to Lord Su, Lord Su is afraid of any accidents, so he specially asked me to ask the eldest brother to go back, I took these people to assist the eldest brother to exterminate this group of mountain bandits." ”
Sima Yun ...... Sima Yun...... Looks like we need to get to Yanzhou soon. This Sima Yun didn't even report to the governor of Youzhou, and dared to take over the soldiers and horses of the left soldiers and horses privately, and his courage was really not small! Zhao Xiong, you take the people from the second sentinel, together with Situ Liang, to level this gang of horse bandits, and I will take the rest of the people back first. ”
Situ Liang looked at the costumes of these pro-guards, and he had a new understanding of the strength of the other party. When he heard the commander Sima Yun and the left soldier and horse envoy Su Yun, he was completely shocked. These two names are definitely not unfamiliar to him. Hearing that Zhao Yi and these two people were mixed together, he was immediately puzzled by Zhao Xi's identity.
After explaining, Zhao Yi ran back with the personal guards and a hundred pale-faced female knights.
As soon as he returned to the cottage, Zhao Xi gathered everyone and asked about the changes in the past few days.
Li Chenfeng took the lead in describing the situation of several villages and towns under the cottage, and finally handed Zhao Yi a booklet and said: "This is a few of us according to the military uniforms of the current army, you can see if there is anything suitable or not." The new training of our soldiers is a period for them to memorize the military regulations, so that they will not become ruffians in the future and be difficult to discipline. ”
After Zhao Yi took it, he looked through it, and it was roughly similar to the seventeen forbidden laws and fifty-four slashes, and there was nothing that needed to be changed, and he also felt that what they said was reasonable, the recruits did not accept the constraints of military regulations, and it would be difficult to control them in the future.
"This is feasible, not only to let the soldiers memorize the military regulations, but also to train a military judge, so that they do not need to participate in the war, they are only responsible for military discipline picketing, and after the war, they will punish the soldiers who violate the law. These men are alone at each outpost and directly obey their superiors, but they are not allowed to cause trouble at each post. After the war, there were military judges and team commanders who cooperated to deal with non-commissioned officers who violated military discipline, and those who disagreed with each other needed an upright and strict person to be in charge of the matter. ”
Everyone looked at each other for a long time and didn't speak, because everyone didn't know each other very well, and they didn't really understand the meaning of Zhao Yi this time.
Zhao Yi smiled and explained: "A large part of our recruits are from mountain bandits, and they are contaminated with a lot of bad habits. The purpose of appointing military judges in each sentry ranks is to hope that the person who leads the troops will lead your soldiers and not be distracted by those messy things. Since you don't have anyone to recommend, I'll appoint you. ”
Everyone suddenly found that Zhao Yi came back this time differently than before, with a trace of majesty and heaviness.
"Zhao Fei, Zhao Hai, the two of you are the most careful, which of the two of you is willing to be responsible for this matter?" Zhao Yi looked at his two brothers and said.
"I'll do it!" As an elder brother, Zhao Fei said.
"Okay, I'll draw twenty people from my personal guard, and you will draw thirty more from the recruits, and train a military law team first, remember, it's best to be literate, and I'll give you the training syllabus later."
Li Lingfeng continued: "Now we have a total of 1,630 soldiers in Crouching Tiger Mountain, although it is a righteous army or a private army under the name of Lord Su, but now it is no different from the mountain bandits. We need to quickly reorganize these soldiers, fortunately, the people of Li Luobei's leaders are all good hands, no worse than the original soldiers in Wohu Mountain, and in addition, some of them have armor. As he spoke, he glanced at Li Luobei.
Li Luobei hurriedly said: "These armors are uniformly deployed by adults!" ”
Seeing that her father was being bullied, Li Ruolan opened her mouth and was about to scold Zhao Di, but Li Luobei hurriedly pulled her, Li Ruolan opened her mouth and glared at Zhao Yi fiercely.
"That's not necessary, I'll gather these armored soldiers together and form a team. The rest should be organized according to the scale of one sentry and three teams, each team of fifty people. This matter has Uncle Chenfeng, Li Lingfeng, Uncle Luo Bei and Zhao Xiong, who will come back soon, the four of you are combined, and after three days, the reorganization will be complete, and we are ready to go to Yanzhou. ”
Zhao Yi thought for a moment and said: "We have to strengthen the protection of the surrounding towns and villages, but we have to collect taxes. If the township refuses or the township is brave enough to come to them, they will be replaced. When they asked us about our identity, they said that it was a rebel army under the command of the Yanzhou Soldiers and Horses. I think that as long as we don't provoke the county seat, the Yingzhou government will not come to us for this trivial matter. ”
