The Great Battalion of the Northern Army.

"Meet Master Hou."

Meng Tian, Ruan Weng Chung, Wang Li and other generals bowed down to Zhao Jun in front of the camp gate, Zhao Jun was just a pawn three years ago, but three years later in the Northern Army, he was already a very popular minister, and even the supreme commander of the Northern Army had to bow down to him.

"Everyone, please get up." Zhao Jun smiled faintly, and then personally helped Meng Yi and Ruan Weng Zhong up successively, "Both of you are my mentors, if you are bowing down to me, won't you lose my life?" ”

"Stinky boy, he's grown up." Ruan Weng Zhong was a little older than a few years ago, and his expression was still cold and serious, but looking at Zhao Jun at this time, his face was full of relief.

Meng Tian was also very happy to see Zhao Jun, and said with a bold smile: "Haha, it's out, it can be regarded as fighting for my northern army, okay, let's go into the camp." ”

In the middle of the camp, Zhao Jun greeted several other familiar people.

"Hehe, I'll just say, Master Hou is not the kind of person who forgets his brother after being promoted." Wang Li's face still had his signature smile, but this smile showed his cunning like a little fox.

Farewell Meng Yue smiled and nodded in agreement, Meng Kui still said very straightforwardly: "Well, Master Hou hasn't changed." ”

Zhao Jun smiled beside him: "If I change, won't I lose a lot of brothers, in the words of the baby, it is the most loss-making business, I don't dare." ”

Guan Ying laughed coarsely beside him: "That's right, if you can be a brother to our Hou Ye, that's right." ”

"Looks like I'm going to have a new brother again, we can talk alone when we have time." At this time, Wang Li looked at the baby and said with a slight inexplicable smile.

Guan Ying also said: "Hehe, I see that my brother is also very close to each other, and he can communicate." ”

Zhao Jun shook his head beside him, one was the most shrewd businessman, and the other was a cunning little fox, when these two people met together, it would be good-looking.

In the end, Meng Tian held a banquet in the big tent of the Chinese army, except for the lack of wine, the food and meat dishes were extremely rich.

"Come, today for the Hou Ye to pick up the wind and wash the dust, there is no wine in the army, everyone will bring wine with water, and toast the Hou Ye with a glass." Meng Yi, who was at the head of the left column, raised a glass of water and said to Zhao Jun, who was sitting in the middle of the main seat.

Originally, Zhao Jun didn't want to sit in the middle, but Meng Yi and Ruan Weng Zhong insisted and took the lead in calling themselves Hou Ye, Zhao Jun knew that this was their prestige for themselves, so they had no choice but to accept it.

"To the Marquis."

More than 30 generals in the army, led by Meng Yi and Ruan Weng Chung, gave Zhao Jun a wine with respectful faces.

"Then Ben Hou thank you for your kindness, come, do it!"

"!"

After having a good start, then under the greeting of Zhao Jun, everyone began to eat and drink, although there was no wine, but everyone let go, but they were also happy.

"Master, this time my father asked me to come to the Northern Army to select 10,000 troops, I don't know how you are doing, if the war in Northern Xinjiang is tight, you can also slow down." Zhao Jun asked bluntly.

Meng Tian nodded and said with a smile: "According to our agreement back then, the horse gang under your command should join the army, and they now have a full 10,000 cavalry, just to give it to you." ”

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with a wry smile: "Master, you have a good plan, I'm afraid you have already thought about it." ”

"Who let Master Hou you be my apprentice." Meng Tian is determined to take advantage of this loophole.

Ruan Weng Zhong said at this time: "Now the Great Wall is almost repaired, the basic construction of the city is complete, and the old Qin people who have moved here have also opened up a lot of land, and there is enough grain and grass, so it is very likely that we will fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu in the next two years, and completely drive out the Xiongnu before the straight road is repaired." ”

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then remembered that in history, it seems that in the past two years, Meng Tian launched all the northern armies, fought a big battle with the Xiongnu, and the Huns were greatly injured and forced to move north thousands of miles away.

"Since the second master also said it, then it's okay." Zhao Jun nodded, when it came to this, he could only accept it, Zhao Jun didn't want to change the outcome of the future war against the Xiongnu because of himself.

At this time, Wang Li smiled and said: "Haha, Hou Ye understands the overall situation and is sympathetic to our Northern Army, so let's pay tribute to Hou Ye." ”

Meng Yue, Meng Kui and others responded one after another, and Meng Yi and Ruan Weng Zhong were also overjoyed when they saw Zhao Jun agree.

However, after Zhao Jun drank a cup, he smiled and said: "However, my 10,000 horse gang has always lacked formal training, and I don't have armor, I want to ask the two masters for 10,000 pairs of armor on the original 30,000 armor, and add 5,000 crossbows and 3,000 chariots." ”

As soon as these words came out, Meng Tian and the others turned pale for a while, Wang Li opened his mouth even more, just now he secretly said in his heart that Zhao Jun was stupid, he was fooled like this, and now he understands that it is not Zhao Jun who is stupid, but they are stupid.

Ruan Weng Zhong was drinking water, and almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water when he heard the words, the stinky boy really opened his mouth, the chariots of the entire Northern Army were only 10,000 times, and even the crossbows, including the large bed crossbows, were only 20,000, which was equal to one-third of the entire Qin State, but the Zhao army opened his mouth and asked for one-third of them.

Meng Tian cast his eyes on Wang Li at this time, Wang Li naturally understood what it meant, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he said: "Master Hou, this is not good, although we have the Weapons Production and Supervision Department here, but the number of weapons every year must be reported to the imperial court, and it will be checked, for you, how can we explain?" ”

Zhao Jun lowered his head and didn't say anything after hearing this, and secretly glanced at the baby.

Guan Ying smiled: "Brother Wang's words are not interesting enough, our Hou Ye can use the original horse gang to replace the soldiers, can't you be more generous, compared to these soldiers, it must be more important to be soldiers." ”

Wang Li rolled his eyes and pretended to be pitiful: "But this amount is too big, if we take it out, what if the Huns come when the Huns come, then we can't let the brothers go to war naked." ”

Guan Ying smiled and said: "But you can't let our Hou Ye's people go to Linzi bare, it is the hinterland of the Six Kingdoms, and we have offended many people in the Six Kingdoms. ”

Meng Tian and the others were stunned when they heard this, and turned their heads to look at Guan Ying, this beard with a businessman's atmosphere and a little rough beard is not simple, either hand over 10,000 elite soldiers, or give more armor, which can be said to be the key point of the Northern Army.

"Then you can't exploit our Northern Army, Master Hou is from the Northern Army, and he should understand the difficulties of the Northern Army, we can't afford to eat it if the amount is too large." Wang Li saw that he could not be exempted, so he paid attention to the quantity.

Guan Ying pondered for a moment, and then said: "This is natural, our Hou Ye has always been sympathetic to the difficulties of others, so let's do it, in addition to 40,000 ordinary soldiers, 4,000 crossbows, and 2,000 chariots, this is always okay, there is no way to talk about it in Shaoke." ”

Wang Li shook his head and said: "War is imminent, there are 1,000 crossbows and 500 chariots, so you can't have more." ”

Guan Ying categorically refused: "No, doing business is also about sincerity, not to mention that it is a military event, even 3,500 crossbows and 1,500 chariots, not a single one is missing." ”

"Brother Guan Lion opened his mouth widely, these things are all sharp weapons against the Huns, at most 2,000 crossbows and 1,000 chariots."

"There is no problem with the chariot, but there must be two thousand five hundred crossbows, and if there is less, it will not be able to be discussed."

Wang Li looked at Ruan Weng Zhong and Meng Tian's faces, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, deal." ”

"Refreshing, haha, I like to have such a brother when I give birth." The baby laughed, as if he had regained the feeling of being a listed person in the business field and talking about business.

Wang Li also smiled: "Brother Guan should be my confidant, today is water, how about we go out and have a drink another day." ”

The baby nodded, "It should be so." ”

The two of them were arguing just now, and they would pity each other again.

Zhao Jun couldn't help but secretly cast an appreciative look at Guan Ying, fortunately he came with Guan Ying, in fact, he had expected that Meng Tian would prevaricate on the grounds of the people of the horse gang, so he had already thought about asking for a bow and a chariot.

Especially the bow and crossbow, the evaluation of the Qin army's arrow array in later generations is extremely high, once the Qin army's arrow array fights, it must be a big victory, it is the only weapon to suppress the enemy's momentum, although there are later generations to exaggerate the role, but can not cover up the fact that the Qin army's arrow array power, the Qin army's military factory at that time was the use of the advanced era of assembly line production, relying on skilled craftsmen, strict management and skills, to produce batches of materials, the same size and extremely sharp weapons.

The Qin army's bow and crossbow relied on advanced bows and crossbows and rigorous training to create a legendary and invincible Qin army's arrow array.

Therefore, Zhao Jun took retreat as advance, and paid attention to the Qin army's arrow array, and the bottom line he set was 2,000, but he didn't expect to win 2,500 for him.
