Chapter 22 Drink and Talk

The ranks of the new army were uneven, the distance of three miles, until the red sun was westward, and the 2,000 new troops were gathered in the Shouzhou Governor's Mansion of the Red Turban Army, and the selection of recruits was complicated, plus the distribution of armor and equipment, and they were busy until the moon was in the willows, and the problem of the deployment of 1,000 households of the Chinese army under the general manager of Anfeng Road was considered to be a preliminary end.

According to the quality of the personnel, Hao 13 carefully selected 500 people from among the recruits, organized them into a team of 500 people, and appointed five centurions according to their performance.

The centurion of the first team, Li Datong, the old Red Turban Army in Xuzhou, has some combat experience.

The centurion of the second team, Mu Jiazhai followed Liu Si'er of Hao 13.

The centurion of the third team was the surrender of the Han army in Shouzhou.

The fourth team of centurions, Zhu Yidao, the butcher of Shouzhou.

The centurion of the fifth team, Wang Xiaoer, a native of Shouzhou.

The first three were armed with spears, the fourth hundredth with scimitars, and the fifth hundredth with longbows.

The remaining 1,500 people, of which 500 are old or young, are physically disabled and are really overwhelmed, and Hao 13 can't bear to dismiss them, so he allocates logistics services.

The remaining 1,000 people, and ten auxiliary hundreds, were arranged to be the first echelon of supplementary personnel at any time, and this cadre and so on, basically had no weapons and armor, only the centurion and the centurion could barely have decent weapons in their hands.

In the evening, in the governor's mansion, the lights illuminated the governor's mansion, Hao Shisan, dressed in a loose silk brocade robe, sat cross-legged behind the desk of the masonry dome tent, on which there was a large pot of steaming hand-handled mutton.

After a few cases, there were seven cases on the east and west sides, and the furnishings on the tables were all the same simple, tightly holding a large basin of meat, and the most important figures of the seven Chinese armies were all gathered.

Monkey Zhang Thirty-One, as the centurion of the guards, sat in the front position on the left hand side of Hao Thirteen, wearing a distinct armor, looking much more energetic.

The centurion of the first to the fifth hundred, Li Datong, Liu Si, Wu Liujiu, Zhu Yidao, and Wang Xiaoer, are also the same general armor, sitting behind them, "people rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles", although the warriors are newer than the armor, but they do look a little mighty.

Bian Mu Youcai, who is a showman in his right hand, is alone, wearing a brand-new white Confucian shirt, and a feather fan with two feathers in his hand, which is also a little more delicate.

The silver glass reflects the light of the lamp, sparkling, and the mellow and fragrant mare's milk wine in the glass seems to be a flowing floating light.

Hao Shisan picked up the silver bowl, the aroma of the pungent mare's milk wine made him seem to have exploded all the pores of his body, the clear mare's milk wine, which had never been eaten, was already a little drunk, the so-called refreshing spleen, but that's it.

Hao Shisan raised his glass and said: "Brothers, everything in our team is in the process of creation, according to reason, now is not the time to drink heartily, but today I must have a banquet for everyone, maybe there will be a long time in the future, and I can't drink with everyone, because the 10,000 troops of Yesutai are a day away from us, we must have enough strength to defeat them and defend our home in Shouzhou!" Ladies and gentlemen, please drink this cup first! ”

Hao Shisan raised his glass and drank it all, and the long-lost feeling of "a line of throat" was very familiar and ironed.

Hao Dabao in his previous life, he was definitely a good drinker, with the title of "Wine Mengzi", he didn't drink alcohol, but his popularity was better, he could have a drink with a few good workers on the roadside for a maximum of ten days and half a month, a pound of cheap liquor, two bottles of it was a bottom, and it was not fun if he was not drunk.

There is a folk proverb in the Northeast: even if there is no food, you have to drink two taels. Hao Dabao in his previous life, as long as there was wine, whether it was white, beer, red, or even a sip of white wine and a dip in salt water with chopsticks, he had tried it.

Now this pure mare's milk wine, with authentic and authentic lamb hand-handled meat, I don't know that it is hundreds of times better than the salted water and blended wine in the previous life, and at this time Hao Shisan knew what it meant to be a drinker's enjoyment.

Everyone drank a bowl, except for Wu Liujiu, everyone in several houses spit out their tongues, but in front of the chief manager, they didn't dare to make too many times, this wine is much higher than the rice wine in the Central Plains, and it is the strong liquor of the grassland people to ward off the cold.

Monkey Zhang Thirty-one drank the wine, the spicy and pungent taste made him unbearable, he fanned his tongue with his hand in pain, and complained: "Boss, what kind of bird wine is this, it's too spicy, it's not as bad as our rice wine in the Central Plains!" ”

"This is the mare's milk wine with the characteristics of the grassland, also known as 'stuffy donkey', but Asu Nayan specially prepared it for our brothers' gathering!" What Hao Shisan said is not true at all, these things are all prepared by Daru Huachi Asu Nayan to enjoy by himself, but he never expected it, but he fulfilled these broken settlements.

Hao 13 went on to explain:

"The things of our Han family in the Central Plains may not all be good, or in other words, the grassland people may not be accustomed to the rice wine of our Han family.

Why are the steppe people brave and good at fighting? To a large extent, it's getting used to drinking such spirits!

In ancient times, there was a monarch in Zhao called Zhao Wuling King, he and the grassland nomads always couldn't beat people, and later he found that the nomads, there are a lot of places worth learning from him, so, he braved the world's disapproval, abandoned the Han culture, learned the nomads' Hufu riding and shooting, and defeated the Huns in the north in one fell swoop, so everyone must get used to such spirits, in the future, if we go to the grassland, maybe, but also rely on the spirits to keep warm! ”

Monkey Zhang Thirty-one asked suspiciously: "Aren't we going to drive away the Tartars and establish the world of our Han people, I heard that the grassland is a bitter cold place, what are we going to do there?" ”

"You brothers may not know, the winter of the grassland is indeed harsh, but you must know that in the spring, it is simply a paradise on earth, an endless grassland, the sky is bluer than our sky, the clouds are whiter than mine, the horse drives the prey on the grassland, but it is really a beautiful thing, you have not been to the grassland, you will never know the beauty of the grassland, the Northern Wei Dynasty a general of the 'Hu Lujin' of the Ministry of Ele sang such a song 'The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep', imagine what a beautiful sight it was! ”

Hao Shisan seems to be self-absorbed, no one can explain when and where his grassland plot originated, whether it originated from Hao Dabao in the previous life, or from the current Hao Shisan, it is unknown.

Xiucai Yu smiled when he heard Zhang Thirty-one in the clouds, knowing that the boss himself failed to rob last time and was slapped with a brick by others, he always said some things in the clouds, and now he is a little surprised.

It's all from a village, who doesn't know that Hao 13 is a flat shoulder, and he doesn't know that he is a player with the word 'one', and he actually cites scriptures from time to time, where did he learn Hao 13's ability?

As far as Xiucai knows, the farthest distance that Hao Shisan left Mujiazhai, that is, this time to escort Han Lin'er, the leader of the Ming Sect, came to Shouzhou by mistake, when did he go to the grassland? It's like being there.,Since the boss broke up with King Xiaoming.,It's become more and more weird.,Is this the possession of the legend of Mingjiao?

Xiucai shook his head, waved a feather fan and said disapprenously: "Definitely! Xiao Ke steals that my Han family's 'Jingtian Qianmo, chickens and dogs smell each other' is the fairyland of the world! ”

Hao Shisan knew that with these people who had never been to the grassland, and the ancients who had not encountered the "haze on all sides", they could not appreciate the beauty of the grassland at all, and it would be impossible to explain it when it came to their admiration of Genghis Khan and Napoleon the most.

"Forget it, the topic is a bit far away, drink, drink bar!"

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and the fragrance of spirits, everyone gradually got used to it, and their anger became more and more harmonious, and they finally got to the point.

"At present, we don't have cavalry, and they all say that Meng Yuan's Red Horse Exploration Army is powerful, do you have any way to break the Red Horse Exploration Army? Can pikemen really restrain cavalry? Hao 13 asked casually.

Wu Liujiu, who had been silent, finally spoke out, as the Han army of Shouzhou, he also knew a little about the Red Horse Exploration Army of Sutai: "Lord Governor, the Red Horse Exploration Army is not all cavalry, and there are as many as 10,000 Red Horse Exploration Army in Sutai, but he only has 3,000 cavalry, 'Red Horse Exploration Army' is Mongolian, Genghis Khan fought in the past, and there is ' Later, Genghis Khan formed the surrendered Jurchens and Khitan troops into the Red Horse Exploration Army, and when they fought, they charged and took the lead and broke through the city, these Red Horse Exploration Army, they stayed to garrison the city, the military rank and soldiers are hereditary systems, as long as there is a war, they can be conscripted to fight at any time! ”

Hao 13 somewhat understood, the Red Horse Exploration Army of Mengyuan was also hereditary, Lao Tzu was a soldier, Lao Tzu was gone, and his son replaced him, such a soldier will never be exhausted, and he is usually responsible for stationing in the place, and when he fights, he brings weapons and armor and fights intensively.

During the Tsarist period, the Cossacks of the Don River, who fought for the tsar for generations, had to bring their own horses and harnesses, which was a microcosm of the Mengyuan Red Horse Exploration Army, and was also similar to the military household of the Ming Dynasty, and the Red Horse Exploration Army that Hao 13 now had to face was a descendant of the Jurchens and Khitans.

Yesterday, Hao 13 encountered 20 cavalry attacks at the city gate, and now he still has palpitations, the impact force of 3,000 cavalry, properly commanded, can crush all resistance, fortunately, Wu Liujiu and Li Datong, two centurions, have combat experience, and make up for Hao Thirteen's evil.

Spearmen against cavalry, purely a helpless move under weak conditions, infantry against cavalry, can't catch up if you win, can't run away if you lose, the war horse is under the control of the personnel, and it won't be stupid to hit the tip of the spear you erected, often the cavalry archers throw heavy swords around your battle formation, and the cavalry can really impact when the infantry policy is destroyed.

However, the desperate Hao 13 still saw a glimmer of hope - at this time, it was no longer a simple era of cold weapons.
