Chapter 57: Discussion
Talking about the general trend of war in this **** period, it seems to be a very common thing, but in my opinion, it is definitely not so simple, Hongshi is not a simple businessman, although he and Lao Zao have reached a friendly relationship that has nothing to talk about, I always feel that there is a conspiracy behind this shrewd and casual businessman, and his intersection with Lao Zao may be a conspiracy.

The waitresses here may look feminine and attractive, but their arms are very strong and powerful, and they have been specially trained to do so, and if they put away their feminine side and pick up a knife and sword, they may be a qualified warrior.
Lao Zao obviously knows this, on the way back, I asked Lao Zao this question curiously, and the answer I got surprised me, the women of the Dragon Kingdom are not easy to mess with, many are well-trained warriors, that is to say, women can obtain the same status and force as men, as long as they work hard, but there are not many women who are so good after all, therefore, it makes me suspicious, there is no need to make a fuss, which is why the waitress of Donghai Building only accompanies wine and chat, but does not sleep with him.
At dinner, Lao Zhang finally appeared, and the dishes were changed to a few delicacies from the mountains and seas, including bergamot shark fin and pipa prawns, which look like high-end and atmospheric dishes, but the taste is the taste, the problem is in the chef, and the style is worse than that of Donghai Lou, which is too guarded to eat is really not particular.
Although Lao Zhang was present, he didn't mention a word about eating, which seemed very unpolite and hypocritical, and he talked about the White Turban Army straight to the point, and sometimes even put down his chopsticks and talked about how to plan a strategy against the White Turban Army.
"Huo Zongqi, this son has neglected you in the past two days, do you know why?" Lao Zhang's eyebrows danced and said, very arrogant.
"It's because, I'm entertaining Qiao Tianmu in Wolf Mountain County, this afternoon, Qiao Tianmu went back to Wolf Mountain County, took the 50,000 gold coins I gave him, and went back full of joy, he promised me to give him gold coins, and his father sent 5,000 troops to help us fight against the White Turban Army in Donghai County." Lao Zhang was very satisfied with the results he talked about, and said that he was excited.
"When he goes back, the five thousand soldiers and horses of Langshan County will set off and enter our Donghai County garrison, when the time comes, with the help of these five thousand soldiers and horses, our strength will be greatly increased, no matter how many the rabble of the White Turban Army is, it is not the opponent of these well-trained soldiers, and when my Signs Army is trained, I am completely sure that the White Turban Army will be defeated, and the victory will be determined in a battle, so that where the White Turban Army is gathered, it will be destroyed, what glory and how mighty it will be." What Lao Zhang said was a little carried away.
I echoed: "Congratulations to the eldest prince on his success and fame by then." ā
Mars quietly looked straight ahead, thinking about his little Jiujiu, at this time he should have said compliments and echoes, he was there in a daze, it made me speechless.
As if he had found a confidant, Lao Zhang said to me: "This is a matter of time, for the strategy of dealing with the White Turban Army, this son has already planned well, as long as there are no mistakes, he will definitely be able to achieve what this son wants." ā
I complimented: "The peerless ability of the eldest prince, the genius of the sky, will surely make his dream come true." ā
"What kind of captain are you, this son forgot for a while." Lao Zhang knocked his head and meditated.
"Subordinate fire spirits." I replied, very aggrieved.
"My son remembers you, accept your auspicious words, Huo Zongqi has a good subordinate, understands the psychology of the boss, and says what the boss wants to hear." It seems that Lao Zhang rarely receives such praise, so he is so happy with my praise.
"Huo Zongqi, I came to you this time, I have a very important task to give you." After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he waited for Mars's question.
Mars was dull for a moment and said, "I don't know if Childe has any tasks to give me." ā
"This son has issued an omen order, a sign that a young middle-aged man between the ages of twenty and forty-five in Donghai County will form a sign army to fight against the White Turban Army, and your Huoyue Banner has been selected by me as the best candidate to train the sign army, I hope you will not live up to my expectations, train an iron-blooded army to come out, and teach the White Turban Army a bloody lesson." Lao Zhang said confidently, not caring whether Mars agreed to be willing or not, he thought that Mars must be praised.
Mars said: "The subordinates are just a small general flag of the Eastern Navy garrison, how can He De be able to train an iron-blooded army, I am afraid that he will live up to the expectations of the son." ā
Lao Zhang's face sank and said: "The combat power of your Huoyue people is obvious to all, otherwise you will not repel the whale shark pirates, you Huoyue people have been trained by their elders since childhood, and have a set of strict training methods, they are natural warriors and natural combat mentors, I can't think of anyone else who can be more qualified for this task than you, otherwise I won't use you, even if I don't have any extra troops in Donghai County, I will still use my cronies to train the Signage Army, my son's expectations for you don't turn into disappointment, disappointment into despair, In despair, I couldn't even know what I was going to do. ā
I hurriedly apologized: "Childe is too worried, but Childe may not know, the current situation of our Huoyue Banner, the strength of the army used to be more than 500, and guarding the Jidongguan is already the biggest limit, and now there are only about 300 people, if you want to draw troops to train the levy army, I am afraid that the defense of the extreme Dongguan is a little inadequate, if you let the whale shark pirates kill into the hinterland of Donghai County, and the White Turban Army knows, the White Turban Army will inevitably lead the army north, and when the time comes, the enemy will be attacked on both sides, internal and external troubles, wouldn't it be self-defeating." ā
"You can rest assured that the whale shark pirates will not come to Donghai County to plunder in the near future, so you can sit back and relax and concentrate on training the levy army, not to mention that this son will not pull you away." Lao Zhang said reassuringly.
"Childe...... "I want to ask what the basis for this is.
Lao Zhang interrupted me and said, "It's best not to ask some questions, don't ask questions that you shouldn't know. ā
Mars heard that the whale shark pirates would not come to Donghai County to loot in the near future, and he was very shocked, and he couldn't understand it, me too, but think about it, after all, the news of this Lord Taishou is much better than our Huoyue Banner, there must be something hidden behind this, but we don't know it yet.
Lao Zhang asked from a lofty position: "Tell your concerns, this son will try his best to solve your worries, we are all a part of Donghai County now, if we Donghai County falls into the hands of the White Turban Army, presumably you will not be able to eat any good fruit, you should think clearly, we are people on the same boat, there was friction between us before, but that has passed, why don't we let go of the mustard in our hearts, work together to resist the enemy, make meritorious achievements, and become famous all over the world." ā
Mars asked, "Where does Childe plan to train the Levies?" ā
Lao Zhang replied without pause: "It's in your Huoyue camp, which is hidden and wide, just right to set up a camp. ā
Mars and I were deep in thought, I thought that at least it would be in Nanwang County Mansion, it was really unexpected, the camp of the conscription army was about to be established in the Fire Moon Camp, is this bad news, or good news?
"How many men are there in the levies?" Mars continued.
"Two thousand for the time being, and then it has been increased to five thousand one after another, without war horses, Donghai County's support of one thousand knights is already the biggest limit, I won't tell you." Lao Zhang said it very sincerely and seriously, although he was a little arrogant and complacent.
"How long do these two thousand sergeants hope to build up combat effectiveness?" Mars asked, expressionless.
"The sooner the better, there is only one month at most, I don't know how much can happen in this month, we don't have any time to spare, the White Turban Army should not wait until the royal capital sends a large army to destroy him, and then he will come to attack Donghai County." Lao Zhang saw far and deep, and he made these decisions after thinking about it thousands of times.
"A month to form combat power, Childe thinks that men are born warriors, pick up a weapon will kill the enemy, on the battlefield to scare men to cry, scared to pee and abounds, a month to form combat effectiveness is an impossible task." Mars's words reminded me of our Chinese anti-Japanese drama on Earth, an ordinary man who rampaged left and right in the rain of bullets and bullets, and was unharmed, he was simply possessed by a god and an immortal body.
