Chapter 100: Yelu Abaoji returns

"Lord, I just boiled the fish soup, so let's take a sip of it!" Zhou Dewei's voice suddenly sounded behind Li Cunhuan.

Li Cunhuan turned around suddenly, only to see a figure squatting in the reeds, twitching his nose carefully, and smelling a hint of tempting fish soup. Li Cunhuan almost wanted to jump and jump excitedly, but in the end he smiled and didn't speak, he was afraid that he would look up to the sky and let out a long roar when he spoke.

On the same day, Lu Long once again appeared an upstart, and the Iron Eagle was waiting for Zhou Dewei.

Li Cunhuan expanded the pro-soldier team from 100 to 300 people, and called it the Iron Eagle Capital. Iron Eagle is the title of the elite swordsman in the old Qin Army era, and the whole people are the Iron Eagle Swordsman, and later when Sima Co took power, it became the Ruishi system, which was called the Iron Eagle Ruishi.

Li Cunhuan first kept 20 of the 100 personal soldiers, and the remaining 80 were dispersed and divided into various armies, serving as middle and low-level officers such as chief and team leader.

Then select the brave soldiers from the various armies, and then add some of Li Cunhuan's settings according to the standards of Wu Qi's training of Wei Wushu, and replace them with the current unit, that is, to carry a spear, wear a Tang knife (the name of the improved horizontal knife), carry a heavy crossbow, carry fifty crossbow arrows, and two short javelins. Wearing triple armor, in fact, it is a close-fitting linen short dress, a leather armor, and a half-body plate armor. (Half-body plate armor means that the front is plate armor, and the back is tied with a few strips of leather, which means that there is no protection at the back.) Carrying three more days of food, in half a day, that is, six hours, a rapid march of 55.5 kilometers, and immediately into the war.

However, in fact, because they are all horses, there are obviously a lot of fluctuations in the standard of a rapid march of more than 100 miles. In addition, Li Cunhuan also asked these pro-soldiers to be between fifteen and twenty.

After a busy time, Li Cunhuan's attention was again focused on disarmament and military expansion. It sounds like a contradiction, but in fact it is not a contradiction, Li Cunhuan reduced Lulong's various armies, especially the states and counties along the Great Wall in the north, except for Beiwu Prefecture because it was Li Cunxiao's nest, Li Cunhuan did not start. In every other prefecture, Li Cunhuan practiced the regimental training system, that is, the modern township soldiers and militia. Depending on the situation, the local army was also reduced to between 4,500 and 2,000 people, and while reducing the old and weak, Li Cunhuan also increased the military salary by 20 percent.

Of course, whether the local army will be reduced or not, Li Cunhuan will not pay attention to it, because he will pay military salaries according to this standard starting next year. Unless those assassins pay out of their own pockets, but even so, I'm afraid they won't be able to live the self-respecting days.

Because of the two-month buffer, Li Cunhuan's army expansion plan also began, and the loyal and filial piety army was changed to the loyal and filial piety army expansion plan because of the addition of Fu Cunxian. Li Cunhuan was ruthless and expanded the loyal and filial piety army to 16,000 people. The black-clothed army is still 5,000 men, and the broken army has become an expanded army of 2,000 men. There are also local soldiers in Youzhou, and Li Cunhuan remains the same, still 10,000 people.

In this way, Li Cunhuan has 33,000 troops directly in his hands to mobilize, which can be said to carry out the centralization of power to the end. Of course, that's all for later.

………………

"Envoy! Yelu Abaoji is back! Sha Eucalyptus walked over with some joy and whispered.

Li Cunhuan gathered the fox fur on his body, pulled his mind out of the chess, and asked, "Oh, who did you just say came back?" ”

"Lord, don't try to cheat!" Fu Cunxian smiled and picked up a chess piece and fell, and said, "General! ”

"Yelu Abaoji is back!" Sha Yuke glanced at the chess game that was very unfavorable to Li Cunhuan, and softly repeated what he had just said.

Li Cunhuan coughed with a dignified look and said, "Cough! Now that Yelu Abaoji is back, let's stop here today! Let's settle the tie! ”

As soon as Li Cunhuan finished speaking, he immediately slipped away. Turned a deaf ear to the shouts of Fu Cunjui in the back. Li Cunhuan didn't expect that in just three days, Fu Cunhuan had changed from being killed by Li Cunhuan to now winning more and losing less, Li Cunhuan considered whether to find someone else to come and play chess with him, otherwise it would be very unpleasant to be abused like this.

Li Cunhuan came to the living room and had already seen Yelu Abaoji, who was in the dust, sitting on a wooden chair and drinking spirits to warm up.

"Abaoji!" Li Cunhuan walked in happily and gave Yelu Abaoji, who had just stood up and was about to salute, a warm hug. "Abaoji, did you people on the grassland use this etiquette to welcome friends?"

Yelu Abaoji smiled and said, "Lord, don't you like Han culture very much?" Why do you suddenly like the customs of the grassland? ”

Li Cunhuan let go of his arms and said: "No matter how a culture has its strengths and weaknesses, we should not blindly worship a certain culture, for some desirable, I don't mind absorbing." ”

Yelu Abaoji smiled and said, "Forget it, lord, look at the good news I brought you." ”

Yelu Abaoji took out a roll of parchment from his bosom.

Li Cunhuan didn't take the parchment, but looked at Yelu Abaoji's frozen red and swollen fingers and said, "Abaoji has worked hard for you!" ”

Li Cunhuan took off the fox fur on his body and draped it on Yelu Abaoji's shoulder.

Yelu Abaoji couldn't help but have a crystal liquid in his eyes, lowered his head and said in disguise: "It's nothing, lord, you better look at this parchment roll!" ”

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Li Cunhuan's mouth, and he said in his heart: Sample, this can't recover you! I'm impressed!

However, Li Cunhuan was soon attracted by the words on the parchment, although the parchment was a roll, it was actually two pieces of parchment rolled together, one in a text that Li Cunhuan did not recognize. The other is written in Chinese.

The gist of it is that the Khitan Jinde Khan is willing to form an alliance with Lulong, and set up border cities with each other, and set up border cities in Yingzhou (Chaoyang City, Liaodong), Pingzhou (Qinhuangdao City), Gubeikou, and Jizhou, and both sides restrain their soldiers and horses and are not allowed to plunder the border cities. At the same time, every year, the Khitan pays tribute to 500 good horses in Lulong. There are also some prohibited items, which are, of course, weapons.

Li Cunhuan nodded with satisfaction, he would consolidate the situation in the north in this way, and he could draw more troops and horses to fight against the one-eyed dragon. Although in the first battle of Shunzhou, Li Cunhuan beat Li Keyong with a fart, almost delayed his own life here, and the strategist Gaiyu was also killed in battle, but Li Keyong still has combat effectiveness that people can't ignore.
