"King Lantian, how about we go and see your auxiliaries again?" Xue Ne seemed to be quite interested in the auxiliary soldiers trained by the Luzhou regiment.

"Of course you can, go, Lao Xue, I'll show you." Li Tao did not have any intention of hiding his personal interests.

The auxiliaries were obviously different from the cavalry, they did not have any armor and no weapons, which made Wang Haibin very puzzled.

Li Tao saw Wang Haibin's doubts, and he took the initiative to say: "The purpose of the existence of auxiliary soldiers is to assist the cavalry in fighting, they don't need weapons and armor, so they can do what they should do better without restraint." As for their safety, it was completely protected by cavalry. ”

Wang Haibin asked, "If the cavalry is wiped out, what will they do?" ”

Li Tao was silent for a long time and said, "If the strong cavalry is wiped out by the enemy, even if they have weapons, how useful can they be?" There is only one result! ”

Li Tao was telling the truth, and Wang Haibin was silent.

Li Tao smiled and said, "The question you asked, whether it is a cavalry or an auxiliary, they all know it in their hearts. Therefore, the auxiliaries will do their best to assist the cavalry to win the battle, because if the cavalry loses, it is equivalent to their own death. And the cavalry will also try to win the battle to the maximum, because they also understand that if they are defeated, it is not only their own lives that will be on the line. ”

"Lantian King!" A middle-aged man with a big belly greeted Li Tao.

"Come, Lao Wang, come here!" Li Tao beckoned.

"Lao Xue, this is Hu Feng, the richest man in Chang'an, you must have heard of him." Li Tao introduced to Xue Ne: "My auxiliaries are all recruited and managed by him, including all my equipment and baggage, which are all from the pocket of the king's shopkeeper. ”

Xue Ne asked, "These auxiliaries were all recruited by the king's treasurer?" ”

Wang Hufeng nodded and said, "Return to the Grand Governor." These people have all signed and drawn the charge, I recruited them, and this battle is over. I will give each of them 100 yuan for the living, and 200 yuan for each of the martyrs! ”

Xue Ne sighed and said, "No wonder, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, this is true!" ”

Li Kailuo asked, "Aren't they all trained?" ”

Wang Hufeng replied: "The matter of training is the responsibility of King Lantian. ”

"The reason why I spent three months here from Luzhou was that most of the time was spent training for them." Speaking of this, Li Tao said with some regret: "It's a pity that the time is too short, otherwise they will do better!" ”

Li Tao's words made Xue Ne speechless. Originally, they already thought it was good, but Li Tao was not very satisfied.

"Huh?" Wang Haibin said strangely on the side: "Why are these big cars all the same size?" ”

Li Tao said with satisfaction: "This is the masterpiece of the king's shopkeeper, don't underestimate these big cars." These carts specially ordered by the king's shopkeeper are vehicles for transporting heavy loads in normal times, but when encountering the enemy, all the carts are connected end to end, which is a solid car formation. It is especially useful for cavalry. ”

"Alright. Lantian King! Let's go back! Xue Ne felt that this trip was really worth it.

……

After the Luzhou regimental training was completed in the designated area, it was already dusk. Xue Ne treated Li Tao warmly, because he was in the army, so there was no wine. Li Tao was relieved not to go to Luzhou for group training, and said goodbye to Xue Ne.

Looking at Li Tao's distant figure, Cui Xuandao, who had not spoken, sighed: "I always feel that this Lantian King and this Luzhou group training are not simple. ”

Li Sijing was not happy when he heard this, he pouted and said, "Who knows if he is playing tricks?" Look at the child soldiers under him. Not even the hair has grown. ”

Cui Xuandao sneered and said, "General Li looks down on these baby soldiers, isn't he obediently a prisoner of others?" ”

"You!" Li Sijing was scarred. If you can't help but be angry, you have to stand up.

"Smack!" Xue Ne slapped the table and stood up first: "The big war is coming, you know that you will quarrel, and if you quarrel in the future, you will blame me for being polite." ”

Seeing this, Li Sijing and Cui Xuandao were not convinced by each other, but they had to give up.

……

That night, outside the Luzhou regimental training camp, dozens of black shadows were lying on the ground.

"Captain Liu, why is it dark in the camp, there is not even a trace of light?" A small voice arose.

"How do I know?" Captain Liu in the dark was also at a loss: "What about him?" The general just ordered us to tie up a few sentries and go back, sweep the face of the Luzhou regimental training, and we did so! ”

……

In Xue Ne's big tent of the Chinese army, a group of generals had already arrived.

Xue Ne asked, "Hasn't the Lantian King arrived yet?" ”

Cui Xuandao replied: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, I have already gone to urge!" ”

Before Xue Ne could speak, he heard a voice outside the tent: "The Governor has been waiting for a long time, Li Tao is here!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Tao had already entered the big tent.

"Lantian King, you're here!"

Li Tao explained: "Governor, that's the case, there were enemy spies who came to touch the camp last night......"

"What?" Before Li Tao finished speaking, Xue Ne stood up in surprise: "This place is still more than four hundred miles away from the Thief Chieftain's territory, how can they come to touch the camp?" ”

"Governor, you don't believe me?" Li Tao said dissatisfiedly: "There are fifty-four people in total, all of them are wearing night clothes, I have already taken them down, and now they are outside the big tent!" ”

"Take me there!" Xue Ne's face was solemn, if it was really the enemy who came to touch the camp, then the situation would be serious.

Xue Ne and a group of generals followed Li Tao to the outside of the big tent, and sure enough, dozens of sacks were thrown on the ground, and the people in the sacks were still moving.

"Open!" Xenne ordered.

A sergeant had already stepped forward to open the sack, and sure enough, they were all dressed in black, they were all tied up with five flowers, and there were things stuffed in their mouths, and they couldn't speak. Xue Ne looked at these people, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, seeing that their faces didn't look like Khitan and Xi people, but like Central Plains people, what was going on.

Suddenly, Xue Ne saw a familiar face, and he was a little surprised: "Captain Liu? How could it be you? ”

Captain Liu is a captain under Li Sijing, who went to attack the Luzhou regimental training camp in the middle of the night, and after a little thought, Xue Ne figured out the reason. He turned his head to look at Li Sijing, but Li Sijing tried his best to avoid Xue Ne's gaze.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xue Netie's face was blue, and he stared at Li Sijing with a knife-like gaze.

Li Sijing just bowed his head and said nothing.

"Oh, it turned out to be General Lee's men!" Li Tao smiled and said to Xue Ne: "Governor, I, Li Tao, really want to thank you!" ”

Xue Ne thought that Li Tao was ridiculing him, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Xue Mou's lack of strict governance of the army made King Lantian laugh, and Xue Mou will definitely give King Lantian an explanation!" ”

Everyone saw that Xue Ne was really angry this time, and couldn't help but worry about Li Sijing. (To be continued......)
