Chapter 250: Brothers Reunited
The entry of the 5,000-winged cavalry caused a sensation in Dingzhou City, and the people of Dingzhou gave considerable enthusiasm to such a force that came to Dingzhou thousands of miles away to help the people of Dingzhou fight against the barbarians. Shang Haibo went out of the city to greet him as a member of the Dingzhou Army, while Tang Hu, as Li Qing's personal guard, went out to greet Li Qing on his behalf. At the gate of Dingzhou City, after a complete set of ceremonies was held, Li Feng and a group of generals followed Shang Haibo and Tang Hu to the Marshal's Mansion to see Li Qing, while the rest of the soldiers entered the camp that had been prepared for them in the city to rest under Feng Guo's arrangement.
"See the big handsome!" Walking into the simple but solemn hall of the Great Marshal's Mansion, Li Feng, who was dressed in military uniform, led his generals to bow down, but at this time, he was a subordinate to worship Shangguan Li Qing, and the generals behind him followed Li Zhan to the ground, and there was a sound of Kaijia hitting in the hall.
"Don't be polite, get up!" Li Qing stood up from behind the tiger case, strode towards Li Feng, and reached out to help him up from the ground, Li Feng raised his head and looked at this half-brother who was a legend in the entire Great Chu, compared to a year ago in Luoyang, Li Qing looked more majestic, and a beard grew on his lips, making him look more mature, standing there casually, but there was an inexplicable pressure that radiated faintly. This kind of power has also been experienced in his grandfather's body.
"Big brother!" After meeting Shangguan as a subordinate, the next step is naturally to meet each other with family affection and perform brotherly gifts.
"Well, okay, Li Feng, I'm very happy that you can come to my Dingzhou." Li Qing said with a smile, the younger brother in front of him has changed a lot from the slightly gentlemanly noble disciple in Luoyang in terms of appearance and behavior, just like his father's appearance with a hint of perseverance, when he just helped him up, he clearly felt the calluses on his hands, and he knew that it was not long after the formation at a glance, it seems that the change in the capital a year ago hit him quite hard, and the young guy back then is now very mature.
"Is Grandpa alright?" Li Qing asked.
"Grandpa is in good health, and he can drink half a catty of wine and eat a big bowl of rice at every meal. When the interest comes, I often dance knives and guns in front of my children and grandchildren. Li Feng said with a smile.
Li Qing laughed, he and Li Huaiyuan, the Duke of Anguo, had never met a few times, but for this thin and capable old man, he maintained a respect in his heart, and imagined in his heart that he was dancing with knives and guns, and that thin body could lift knives and guns from time to time? However, this old man is in good health, which is also good for himself, and the Li family has such a pillar of support, so he can be a pillar of optimism.
"Did Grandpa have any instructions when you came?" Li Qing asked.
Li Feng said respectfully: "Grandpa didn't say anything, just asked me to follow the arrangement of the eldest brother after I arrived in Dingzhou, and only obeyed the orders of the eldest brother, and exercised well." Don't tarnish the name of the Li family. ”
Li Qing smiled, Li Huaiyuan's mind also said to himself, either explicitly or secretly, that he pinned the future of the Li family on himself, but did the rest of the Li family think so? But he didn't dare to say.
"Before leaving, grandpa once said that now Dingzhou may be the most difficult time, so our Li family wants to fully support, this time in addition to the five thousand Yizhou cavalry who came with me, grandpa also ordered Li Yunzhi's uncle to allocate 500,000 taels of silver, and ordered me to bring it to the eldest brother for emergency relief."
Li Qing's face changed slightly, "Grandpa also knows that someone is plotting against me?" ”
Li Feng nodded and said: "Uncle Li Zonghua heard some news, and my grandfather asked me to tell my eldest brother that this is a trivial matter, and the key is whether the eldest brother can win beautifully against the barbarians, as long as he wins the victory completely, these difficulties will disappear immediately." Li Feng stood up and gestured to a general behind him with his eyes, and the man walked out quickly, walked up to Li Qing, held a small box in both hands, and handed it to Li Qing. Li Qing took it and opened it, and there were neat stacks of silver tickets inside, which were casually placed on the table. "Grandpa has a point, as long as we win completely, all difficulties will disappear. Although grandpa is separated from Dingzhou by thousands of mountains and rivers, he is in the essence of the word. Li Feng, if you take away the five thousand cavalry of Yizhou, Yizhou will be a little nervous in terms of troops, and it will not affect Yizhou's operation in the future, right? ”
Li Feng said with a smile: "Big brother rest assured, Yizhou has built a large number of forts in this year, and the officers sent out by the eldest brother have taught us how to effectively use the forts, although our Yizhou is the land of four wars, but we have more than enough self-preservation, not to mention, grandpa also said, as long as the eldest brother is undefeated here, no one will dare to fight our Yizhou idea!" ”
Li Qing laughed loudly, "Grandpa can afford me, okay, okay, Li Feng, sit down!" Turning around and walking behind the tiger case, he looked at Li Qing and sat down, and said, "Li Feng, what are you going to do after you come to Dingzhou?" What's the plan? ”
Li Feng said: "Big brother, since I came to Dingzhou, of course I want to go to the battlefield to fight with the barbarians, our Li family has been fighting with the barbarians for generations, and Li Feng does not dare to lag behind." Ask the eldest brother to let me lead my troops to the front line to fight the barbarians. ”
Li Qingwei frowned, and said: "Li Feng, the barbarian is fierce and good at fighting, and his riding skills are excellent, you have just come to Dingzhou, and the Yizhou soldiers have not been through battles for many years, so let's take a look first, familiarize yourself with the tactics of the barbarians, and know more about the barbarians, do you think it's good?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several generals behind Li Feng changed, and there was a hint of hesitation, obviously thinking that Li Qing was underestimating the Yizhou cavalry, sitting on the side, Shang Haibo, who had been observing these people, had a trace of gloom in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
"Big brother, although my Yizhou cavalry has not been in battle with real swords and guns, they are all the elites of our Li clan who have been carefully trained for many years, whether it is combat power or equipment, it is in Dachu, and it is also in the forefront, and the five thousand people I brought out are the flukes among the elite of my Yizhou soldiers, and please let the eldest brother give us the opportunity to make meritorious contributions."
Li Qing said with a smile: "Dingzhou is a place of a hundred battles, and there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, well, let's discuss this matter again, you have traveled thousands of miles, and you are tired when you arrive in Dingzhou, so let's go and rest today, I will set up a family banquet in the evening, and you can bring all the Li disciples in this army to come!" ”
Li Feng stood up and arched his hand: "Since this is the case, I won't bother the eldest brother and retire first." ”
After Li Feng exited the hall, Li Qing's gaze turned to Shang Haibo, "Mr. Shang, what do you think?" ”
Shang Haibo said: "Dashuai, there are pros and cons to this matter. For the big handsome, there are joys and sorrows! ”
"How?"
"Liye, the reason is that this group of Yizhou cavalry is indeed elite, whether it is equipment or combat power, it is indeed an elite division, as long as they go to the battlefield to fight one or two battles, they can become a male division, and they can be of great use today when my Dingzhou troops are a little overwhelmed."
"Worried, this army is a Yizhou soldier, not a Dingzhou soldier, in terms of deployment and use, the marshal must be more worried, and it is no longer simply limited to military affairs."
Li Qing knocked lightly on the big case and said, "That's true." ”
"This Yizhou cavalry, the generals are almost all Li Zidi, this is completely different from the structure of our Dingzhou soldiers, this structure also determines that they will obey the command of the Li clan wholeheartedly, marshal, if you conflict with the Li clan's orders, they will definitely obey the Li clan."
"Now it seems that their respect for Li Feng is only greater than that of the handsome, and the handsome must be worried." Shanghai Wave Road.
Li Qing smiled slightly, "I am also a disciple of the Li family, if they dare to disobey my orders, I will kill them, and they will have nowhere to go." ”
"It's precisely because the handsome man is also a disciple of the Li family that he can't dispose of them at will!" Shanghai Wave Road. "Behind these Li clan disciples, is the huge Li family intertwined and intertwined network, if the marshal disposes of them, it will be very unfavorable for the future, marshal, after defeating the barbarians, we will enter the Central Plains, Yizhou is the current bridgehead, such a great opportunity is not good to use. At this time, the marshal can't offend these people! ”
Li Qing frowned and said: "I see that these Li disciples are all arrogant, although I haven't seen this cavalry yet, but when I look at these generals, I am a little uneasy, what is the use of being well-trained, how well-trained the Imperial Forest Army is, but when it comes to our Dingzhou soldiers, it is still vulnerable." And looking at Li Feng's appearance, he was full of confidence, but he thought that the barbarians were not worthy of their blows. ”
"yes!" Shang Haibo said: "The dragon roars and the wolf runs, even if our Dingzhou elite meets, we can only say that it is equal, these rookies who have never been on the battlefield may be difficult to resist, Dashuai, my opinion is still to dismantle this Yizhou soldier and assign it to the cavalry battalions in Dingzhou, so that those veterans in the cavalry battalion can lead them, so that it is possible to grow up as soon as possible." ”
Li Qinghao smiled, Shang Haibo's mind he really understood very well, the five thousand cavalry were dismantled and distributed to the cavalry battalions, it won't be long before these five thousand Yizhou soldiers were about to be swallowed by themselves completely, to be honest, he was also very greedy for this batch of cavalry, unlike the Dingzhou soldiers he trained, these Yizhou soldiers were indeed well-trained, and the elite trained by the big family When it comes to personal force, it is not comparable to his own subordinates, if it is honed by Dingzhou's training and combat system, It is true that a strong division will be achieved, but will swallowing this cavalry so blatantly cause a strong reaction from the Li clan? For the uncle who controls the entire Yizhou army, Li Qing has not seen it!
"Let's talk about this matter slowly, from tomorrow, we will first arrange for them to visit our military camp to see the training of the Changsheng battalion, and then arrange for their generals to go to Wang Qinian's place and Lu Dalin's place to see the real battlefield." Li Qing said with a smile: "Maybe after seeing the real fight, they will change their minds a little." ”
The two looked at each other and laughed.
