Chapter 138: Soldiers
In the living room of Li Ming's general's mansion of the Tang Jiannan Festival, Jiang Dazhi sat inside, and the maid of the general's mansion made him hot tea.
He smiled at the maid very kindly, but it really startled the maid.
I saw that the maid lowered her head, reluctantly squeezed out a little smile, and then quickly exited the living room.
When Jiang Dazhi saw this maid's demeanor, he felt very incredible, and thought: "Lao Tzu just smiled kindly at you, this is completely out of respect, this person can't be crooked, right?" β
Of course, he couldn't find the answer to this question, so he could only continue to sit in the living room, waiting for Li Ming's arrival.
After a long time, Jiang Dazhi saw that Li Ming still did not appear, and he was already a little impatient, he immediately picked up the teacup, took a sip, and felt that the tea was fragrant and delicious, so he immediately began to drink tea.

"I'm sorry, General Jiang, I've kept you waiting, Li is really sorry."
Li Ming said with a smile as he walked into the living room.
"What did General Li say, Jiang should wait for General Li!"
Although Jiang Dazhi said it politely, in his heart, he had already greeted Li Ming's family.
"General Jiang, what is the so-called matter when you come here today?"
When Jiang Dazhi saw Li Ming open his mouth, he asked him @δΈ@ζ¬@Read @novelxstxt, what happened? I thought: "Lao Tzu has just recovered from a serious injury, what's the matter, you have to say a greeting!" β
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, and immediately said: "When Jiang was healing in the ten thousand bamboo forests in the west of the city, he found some traces of a bowl of porridge sect, so he came to ask General Li for some men and horses, and went to the west of the city to search the mountains, so as to take advantage of the situation to exterminate a bowl of porridge sect." β
"A bowl of porridge has indeed caused a lot of trouble to the imperial court over the years, but now it is the time when the armies of Nanzhao and Tubo are besieging the city, and they are divided to search the mountains, I am afraid that there is something wrong!"
"General Li, the current situation is like this, although Nanzhao and Tubo have become allies, but in their hearts, they all have their own ghosts, therefore, they will not take the lead in attacking the city, then, the only surprise is that a bowl of porridge has made an internal response, and Nanzhao and Tubo have a combination of inside and outside, so that Yizhou City will really have a big crisis."
"General Jiang's analysis also has a certain amount of truth, you say, how many people do you need?"
"At least 10,000 horses."
"Ten thousand horses!" Li Ming said with some surprise.
After saying this, he immediately picked up the tea that the maid had made for him earlier, took a sip, felt that the tea was a little cold, and immediately shouted, "Someone." β
"Master, please command." A maid said.
"Re-brew the tea."
"Yes, sir."
The maid was obviously a little scared and walked out, and another maid had already walked into the living room with a teapot and helped Li Ming remake hot tea.
"Make hot tea for General Jiang too."
"Yes, sir."
The maid walked up to Jiang Dazhi's side and made him hot tea.
Li Ming picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and said: "General Jiang, you must know that there are still 100,000 thieves outside Yizhou City, and the defenders in the entire Yizhou City are only 100,000. β
"General Li, Jiang Mou has just said very clearly, as long as a bowl of porridge is not used, the two countries of Nanzhao and Tubo outside the city will definitely not do it, so as long as a bowl of porridge is exterminated, the thieves outside the city will not be a problem."
"General Jiang, what you said is light, the 100,000 thieves outside the city, is it not as good as a bowl of porridge on the rivers and lakes? What a joke! β
When Jiang Dazhi heard Li Ming's words, he immediately laughed and said, "General Li, the people on the rivers and lakes are all strong in martial arts, but they can't be underestimated!" β
As soon as Li Ming heard Jiang Dazhi's words, he thought to himself: "The martial arts of the people on the rivers and lakes are indeed strong, and there is no problem with all of them being one hundred, so let's give him a little bit of people and let him exterminate this bowl of porridge sect!" β
"General Jiang, Ben will mobilize 5,000 men and horses for you, what do you think? General Jiang, you also have to think about this general, a huge Yizhou city really needs people to defend! β
"Okay, but the yamen in Yizhou City is fast, and the militia of the people who know how to do martial arts must be dispatched by Jiang."
"No problem."
"Thank you, General Li, Jiang Mou disturbed General Li today, and asked General Li to be able to Haihan, Jiang Mou said goodbye."
"General Jiang, go slowly, don't send it."
"Farewell."
Jiang Dazhi said, immediately got up, saluted Li Ming, and then walked out of the living room.

In the inner hall of the Taishou Mansion in Yizhou City, Chang Shouxin and Jiang Dazhi were drinking tea and chatting.
"Lord Chang, how many yamen are in Yizhou City?"
"Five hundred."
"Five hundred, that's a bit small! So, how many common people are there who know martial arts? β
"How many people know martial arts, the lower officials don't know much, the lower officials just know that if they are all organized, there should be tens of thousands of people."
"Tens of thousands, so many! Please ask Master Chang to call the head catcher and the head of the militia, and Jiang will order them to do something. β
"Yes."

Jiang Dazhi asked for troops from all directions, and in the end, he finally formed a team of 10,000 people.
They were 5,000 soldiers defending Yizhou City, 500 people were captured by the yamen in Yizhou City, and 4,500 people were carefully selected from tens of thousands of militiamen to form this force.
Jiang Dazhi also deliberately gave this team a very good name, called the Elite Flying Tigers, with him as the captain, Wang Long as the vice captain, and Yang Jian as the head of martial arts.
Jiang Dazhi took the elite Flying Tigers and rushed towards the west of Yizhou City.
And Zhuge Dadi, Benniu, Dog Baby, Qin Ruyue, and Cheng Mahua continued to guard the east gate.
The people of Yizhou City have become accustomed to the days when they don't go out when they have nothing to do, so if Jiang Dazhi takes 10,000 troops and walks in the city of Yizhou City, there will be no disturbance to the people.

The west of Yizhou City is a continuous mountain, but this continuous mountain is also divided into three small peaks, which are called Little Tea Mountain, Middle Tea Mountain, and Big Tea Mountain.
Jiang Dazhi led the elite Flying Tigers and first came to the foot of Xiaocha Mountain.
Jiang Dazhi looked up at the top of Xiaocha Mountain, but saw that the mountain was more than 100 zhang high, the mountain was steep, and the mountain was full of tea trees.
At this time, it is the weather in March, and some tea trees on the mountain have bloomed gorgeous and colorful camellias, which are very beautiful.
Jiang Dazhi immediately issued an order, and Wang Long, the deputy captain, led 500 yamen and 4,500 militiamen to garrison at the foot of the mountain, and the other 5,000 soldiers followed him and Yang Jian up the mountain to search for the whereabouts of a bowl of porridge to teach Xishuitang.
