Chapter 171: Unexpected

"Ahem, call your lord out. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Xu pulled his throat and shouted, and at the same time used his vitality, so that the sound spread throughout Shanhaiguan.

"Who are you waiting for? Quickly report your name, and still want to see the county lord? A group of three-minded and ninth-rate characters, believe it or not, our army will go out and destroy you now! ”

Liu Xu was immediately happy, this young general didn't look big, but he didn't expect his temper to be quite hot.

"Don't go out, we're reinforcements!" Liu Xu responded.

"Reinforcements? Joke! A group of bandits, still want to use the banner of Da Zhou's regularity? Someone put me ......."

As soon as Zhao Kun was halfway through his words, he felt that his back was cold, and the arrow word was swallowed by him.

Looking back, sure enough, the county lord came, and he took Xia Lao with him.

Zhao Kun was stunned at this time, he was stared at by the county lord like this, and he didn't know how to report for a while.

"Back to ......"

"What a return! Switch to let people in. ”

After Xia Ningmei finished speaking, he turned around abruptly, and his cloak waved high.

Zhao Kun was stunned for another half a second, then turned around and shouted: "Come on, release me!" ”

Boom Boom

With Zhao Kun's order, the back door of the Shanhai Pass opened, and Liu Xu came in with the Divine Sword Army.

Zhao Kun looked at the neat 'bandit team', and could vaguely feel the military aura emanating from this army, and he muttered, "Could it be ...... Is it really reinforcements? ”

Half an hour later, the Excalibur Army settled down and was stationed in the southwest of Guannei, while Liu Xu and the others received an audience from the county lord.

This time, the county lord only brought two people, one was Xia Lao, and the other was Wang Jianglin, the former commander of the Jiangmei County City Defense Battalion.

As soon as she saw Liu Xu, the county lord had a cold face, and when she heard Liu Xu's voice at the gate before, she was taken aback, she never expected that this 30,000 army would actually be brought by Liu Xu.

"I said, where did you get so many bandits?"

Xia Ningmei sat down on the coach's chair and asked preemptively.

Liu Xu frowned, it seems that the county lord is going to get cheap and sell well, he glanced at Pang Yuan beside him and laughed.

"Why, didn't the county lord give me the order to suppress the bandits, so I took some of them."

"Incorporated some?" Xia Ning stood up with a snort and glared at Liu Xu: "Liu Xu, you are not small, you have been wandering around in the southwest mountains for three months, and you have actually recruited so many bandits." ”

"The county lord has won the prize." Liu Xu smiled and bowed his head modestly.

Looking at Liu Xu's appearance, Xia Ningmei almost held her breath.

"Okay, you tell me, what's the use of these bandits? Are you here to eat military rations? Can you go to war?! ”

Xia Lao on the side also frowned, this 30,000 reinforcements seem to be good news, but there are many hidden dangers, and even more harm than good.

Liu Xu exhaled a long breath, shrugged helplessly, and glanced at Li Zhiqing who was bowing his head beside him, he didn't expect Xia Ningmei to directly count himself in front of so many people.

"Food, we brought it, and there is a lot of it, if the county lord is not enough, we can still provide it, as for the matter of going to the battlefield, whether you can fight, just ask the thirteen generals."

As he spoke, Liu Xu gave Xia Shisan a look.

Xia Shisan immediately stood up and said: "Returning to the county lord, although these people are bandits, but after three months of rectification, there is no doubt that they are with the regular army of the Great Zhou, and now what they lack is only armor and standard weapons, and there is absolutely no problem in going to the battlefield." ”

Hearing Xia Shisan's words, Xia Ningmei was slightly stunned at first, and then slowly sat down.

If Liu Xu really brought food for many years, and the army in his hands did have combat capability, it would definitely be helpful for this campaign.

"I didn't expect it...... You're pretty good......"

Xia Ningmei was also helpless, it was not that she didn't want Liu Xu to bring a strong army, but there were many problems in front of her.

"The county lord has a good reputation, Liu lives up to the trust, this time, it can be regarded as doing a modest contribution to the county lord and contributing his strength to the Great Zhou."

Liu Xu continued to speak in a high-sounding manner, because this time, he did not invite merit, but asked the county lord.

30,000 people, if there is not a regular name, it is a private army! Liu Xu can't afford this crime.

"Okay, okay, don't do that in front of the county lord."

Xia Ning waved her hand, and childish anger appeared on her face.

"Xiaomei, this time Brother Liu really came to help, 30,000 troops, more or less will help the battle situation."

Li Zhiqing finally couldn't help but interject.

Xia Ningmei glanced at Li Zhiqing helplessly: "Xiaoqing, you better avoid it first, this occasion is not suitable for you, don't worry, I won't bully your big brother Liu." ”

Li Zhiqing had to nod helplessly, retreated, and before leaving, she glanced at Liu Xu and signaled Liu Xu to be polite.

"Okay, Lord County, Xiaoqing is gone, if you have anything to say, just say it." Liu Xu looked at Li Zhiqing's back and knew that the county lord was serious, and he and Pang Yuan had expected this scene before.

"Then the county lord won't talk nonsense, Liu Xu, have you thought about why the county lord only has 50,000 elite soldiers?"

Xia Ningmei's face became solemn, and a pair of heroic eyes also stared at Liu Xu's eyes.

"The county lord sits in the southwest, and his prestige is great, if he wants to expand the army, let alone 100,000, even if it is 200,000, there is no problem, but the county lord is afraid of the military department, the court, and the one who is on top."

Liu Xu said calmly.

Xia Lao on the side nodded with satisfaction, this Liu Xu still has some opinions.

"That's right, the county lord doesn't want to have anything to do with those people in the court now, otherwise the county lord wants to expand the army, and there are more soldiers."

Xia Ningmei also nodded, but she didn't say the next words, but threw the question to Liu Xu.

Xia Shisan didn't expect this to be the case now, he thought that Liu Xu would bring 30,000 troops, and the county lord would be very happy.

"These 30,000 people, I still hope that the county lord will give a name, Liu from now on, that is, the county lord's subordinates, in the future, Liu will never frown."

At this time, Liu Xu finally got to the point.

"Thirty thousand people is a lot, the court will definitely know."

Xia Ningmei did not give Liu Xu a direct answer, but lightly talked about the problems of the imperial court.

"The order to suppress bandits is under the soldiers, and they have no reason on the surface." Liu Xu continued slowly.

"There is no reason on the surface, but once you are afraid, the plan of this county lord will be ruined by you."

At this time, Xia Ningmei's gaze instantly became cold.
