Chapter Ninety-Three: Rumors Stop at the Murderer (1)
Li Xian brought out a total of 1,212 people from Juyeze, and calculated that there was just a little more of a full Zhichong Mansion. However, Li Xian didn't want to arrange it according to the army of the Great Sui, so he divided the 1,200 people into two small banners, each with 500 soldiers, and the rest of the people were selected people with poor physical fitness, which were classified as baggage logistics. There is a commander for every 100 people, and the command of the small flag is the capital commander. Without exception, what puzzled Ji Haotian was that none of the seventeen people under Li Xian were officers.
All the officers were selected from among those soldiers, and Li Xian seemed to really have no plans for these 1,200 people, except for the selection of a personal army of fifty people.
Because there were still five hundred elite light cavalry from Youzhou under the mountain, Ji Haotian didn't dare to provoke him, so he agreed with Li Xian's arrangement, and even repeatedly asked Luo Fu and others to serve as officers, Li Xian just chuckled and shook his head noncommittally. Ji Haotian is now eighty percent sure that Li Xian is a certain general under Luo Yi in Youzhou, but such a young man can make a general respectful and humble to him, Ji Haotian really can't figure out what Li Xian's identity is.
Sometimes, Ji Haotian even suspected that Li Xian was Luo Yi's son.
Of course, there is a basis for thinking like this, it is said that Luo Yi has a son named Luo Cheng. With a handsome face and excellent lance skills, at the age of thirteen, he could hardly find an opponent in the Youzhou army. According to rumors, this son has won Luo Yi's true inheritance in both personal martial arts and military strategy, and he has quite prestige in the army. And the reason why Ji Haotian was suspicious rather than certain was because Li Xian used a black straight knife that was a little outrageously long, and a little outrageously sharp instead of a horse lance.
However, it is not difficult to abandon the usual weapons in order to hide their identity. Moreover, General Hu Ben Luo Yi himself is a master of swordsmanship, and it is not strange for his son to use a knife well.
It was precisely because of such suspicions that Ji Haotian became more and more jealous of Li Xian. Originally, he planned to send someone to intercept and kill Li Xian and the others when they left Yanshan, but now that Li Xian may be Luo Yi's son Luo Cheng, Ji Haotian will not dare to make a mistake even if he has the courage to make a mistake.
On the surface, Ji Haotian only stared at the construction of the camp and paid little attention to the training of the school field. But in fact, he has been paying attention to the training methods of that Lu Bei general. In just one day, he was sure that Lu Shisan's training methods were really the usual methods used by the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion. Sun Anzu was born in the military, and he once achieved the official position of a general in the government soldiers, and he has a deep understanding of the essence of the training of the government soldiers, and Ji Haotian has relied on some means to gain Sun Anzu's trust, so Sun Anzu's skills have been learned by him.
Every time Li Xian observes and studies attentively, Ji Haotian is actually studying and confirming.
The two men are actually very close in a certain caste, and both have a kind of incomprehensible paranoia.
When Li Xian was watching Lu Shisan and the Iron Fang Wolf train his troops, he naturally wouldn't take out He Ruobi's notes to read them. He reads this passage every night with candlelight, and he can almost memorize the notes. Notes are dead after all, and no matter how brilliantly written, they are still on paper. And Lu Shisan and Iron Fangwolf are both people who have been in battle for a long time, although they have slightly different command methods, but they both carry the strong imprint of the regular army of the Great Sui.
Li Xian learns a lot every time.
The current Yanshan horse thieves are all Sun Anzu's subordinates, and Sun Anzu's training is quite strict, far more elite than ordinary grass robbers. Therefore, the soldiers will not look particularly jerky when they are practicing. When he was in Juyeze, Zhang Jin said that he actually had the intention to program Sun Anzu's subordinates with his more than 2,000 people into a pro-military battalion, because these people were far better at fighting than his minions, but he was afraid that it would not be safe to use these people as pro-soldiers, so he still scattered these people and mixed them into various battalions to monitor.
Now, Li Xian has the opportunity to train these 1,200 people to become the first army under his command, and I have to say that he is more blessed than Zhang Jincheng.
"Anzhi, why are you called Xiaoqi?"
Iron Fangwolf asked, puzzled.
Li Xian smiled and said, "According to the regular army of the Great Sui, every hundred people must hold a battle flag when marching. When the enemy observes, he often counts the flags to know the actual number of troops. Of course, it is also possible to fly more flags to confuse the enemy, but the enemy cannot prevent it from coming to observe secretly, which was originally done to facilitate command, but there are also drawbacks. ”
"Think about it, if a team of 1,200 people only flies three or two flags, will it make people wonder?"
The Iron Wolf nodded, but did not agree with this explanation.
Of course, Li Xian would not tell him that Xiaoqi was actually a basic military unit in the Ming Dynasty. Li Xian just likes the name, as for the excuse or something, it's really nonsense. Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, there were only ten people in a small flag, and one hundred households had two general flags and ten small flags, totaling 112 people. 1,112 households. Li Xian didn't like the title of thousands of households and hundreds of households, but he liked the Ming Dynasty, so he simply went to thousands of households and directly raised the small flag to a five-hundred-person establishment.
The two newly promoted small flags are all unified, one is called Niu Xiu and the other is Liu Heimin.
Speaking of which, Li Xian does have some prejudices against this person named Liu Heimin. He didn't know if this man like the Black Tower was the fierce man who designed to kill Luo Shixin and occupied half of Hebei in the legend, but because Luo Shixin died at the hands of this person in history, Li Xian was a little unkind to him.
Of course, he wouldn't stop him from using this guy for this reason.
In fact, among the 1,200 thieves in the entire Yanshan Mountain, Liu Heimin's bravery is the best. And this person's comprehension of the art of war is far beyond that of others, no matter what Lu Shisan and Iron Fang Wolf say, it is almost a little clear. This made Li Xian have to look up to him with admiration, so he was directly promoted to the commander in charge of five hundred people. The leader of the 1,200 Yanshan thieves is now nominally the big boss Li Xian, but Li Xian said in front of the whole cottage that he would return it to Ji Haotian in the future. Just this bearing made the Zhongshan thieves impressed.
And Niu Xiu's personal bravery is average, and he is not very brilliant. The figure is much thinner than the burly Liu Heimin, but this person's mind is very flexible and meticulous. When Lu Shisan and Iron Fang Wolf explained the tactics, he could often draw inferences and even see the flaws in the tactics. This is also important for a general, and sometimes even more important than personal bravery.
Of course, Li Xian is also very interested in Niu Xiu, no less than Liu Heimin.
When these two people stood out in the competition for the selection of officers, Li Xian was really surprised. He really couldn't have imagined that among his 1,200 bandits, there were such two famous figures in history.
Therefore, after hearing these two names, Li Xian did not hesitate to hand over the two most important official positions to them, and treated them with courtesy.
Liu Heimin was born in poverty, so he didn't have a word. Niu Xiu, whose name is Jinda, used to be the son of an official eunuch, but later after the decline of his family, he went away to join his family, but he followed Sun Anzu by mistake.
Li Xian knew that whether it was Liu Heimin or Niu Jinda, if the two of them followed the historical trajectory, they would never appear in Yanshan at this time, and it would be forgivable for Liu Heimin to say that he had anything to do with Sun Anzu, after all, he and Sun Anzu Dou Jiande were both fellow villagers, but Niu Xiu would never appear in Sun Anzu's army. Although Li Xian only knew the history roughly, he also knew that it was Li Mi that Niu Jinda should follow.
But Li Xian didn't care about this, two tiger generals fell from the sky, he was too late to be happy, and because of these two people, Li Xian's possessiveness of these 1,200 people became even stronger.
Liu Heimin and Niu Xiu were originally not valued much in Sun Anzu's army, but they were naturally very grateful when they were promoted to the capital by Li Xian. Both of them are people with real skills, so they often have feelings for people who can discover their abilities.
Although Li Xian is not very old, he has an extraordinary bearing.
Niu Xiu and Liu Heimin were appointed as the commanders, and Li Xian didn't care how others denied it. Even Ji Haotian said that the prestige of these two people was insufficient and it was difficult to convince the public, but Li Xian still ignored it.
When the two were appointed, Li Xian pulled Niu Xiu and Liu Heimin one by one and said: "Hugh has to care what others say, I am still the big boss of Yanshanzhai, I said that you two can do it, you can do it." Assist Lu 13 to train his troops, show them some examples, and plug their stinky mouths! ”
This passage moved Niu Xiu and Liu Heimin very much.
The Yanshan thieves worked every morning to build a camp, practiced in the afternoon, had Lu 13 and the iron wolf trained, and then assisted by Niu Xiu and Liu Heimin, and the soldiers had a refreshing feeling in just over ten days.
After watching the training for a long time, Li Xian gained a lot, and only sat down after returning to his room, Niu Xiu and Liu Heimin walked in together.
"I've seen the big boss!"
The two hugged their fists.
Li Xian smiled and said: "They are all their own brothers, where did they get so many rules!" Sit down and talk, or fuck off. ”
Niu Xiu was born in everyone, but he has also been contaminated with gangsterism over the years, and Liu Heimin is a straightforward man, so the two of them like Li Xian's tone of speech. For Ji Haotian, who opened his mouth and closed his mouth, both of them were a little disgusted.
Li Xian, who had figured out the temper of the two, naturally would not pretend to be a scholar with any identity.
"Big boss, enjoy the wine first, your throat is so dry that it is smoking."
Liu Heimin said pitifully.
Li Xian threw the wine bag over from the table and said, "Leave me a mouthful, otherwise I will withdraw your capital!" ”
Liu Heimin smiled, opened the plug and poured it in.
Li Xian glanced at the two of them, smiled and asked, "Just came back from the school, do you have something to do with me?" ”
Niu Xiu's eyes swept the door, and he stopped talking.
Liu Heimin didn't have as many scruples as him, and put the wine bag on the table: "Big boss, I just can't get used to it!" ”
Niu Xiu stood up, walked to the door and stared outside.
Liu Heimin said angrily: "You sour scholar, what are you afraid of? Our Yanshanzhai is still the big boss who has the final say, afraid that he is a bird? ”
Li Xian's eyes changed, and he vaguely guessed something.
Niu Xiu said: "Just you, a barbarian reckless, speak so loudly, do you want to spread it to the whole cottage people?" ”
Liu Heimin said: "I haven't said it yet!" ”
Li Xian frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Liu Heimin glanced at Niu Xiu and said, "This sour scholar is too wordy, let me talk about it." Big boss, you still don't want to go. In this village, I only think you are the big boss, as for who other people love, fuck it, Lao Tzu just doesn't like it! The big boss said several times that he wanted to give up this son, but that person actually wanted to sit on the surface, can't I see it? The brothers all said that you are a member of the court, not with us all the way, so you have to leave eventually, and many people have said that the heart of the big boss is not in our village. People's hearts are unstable, big boss! ”
Niu Xiu turned his head and asked softly, "Big boss, I'll just ask." ”
Li Xian said: "Say." ”
"Are you from the imperial court? Is it Youzhou Luo Yi's ...... Son? ”
Li Xian said solemnly: "No, I have been hunted down by the imperial court since I was a child, how can I be a person from the imperial court?" See those graves outside? Buried inside are more than 100 brothers who were killed by the imperial court to protect me when I fled from Yanshan, as for Luo Yi's son...... That's pure. My surname is Li, my name is Xian, and my name is Anzhi, which has nothing to do with the surname Luo. Other than that...... You're asking two sentences. ”
Niu Xiu was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, he was sometimes quite helpless about the surname of the big boss.
Liu Heimin was surprised: "What about General Lu?" ”
Li Xian smiled and said, "He is Luo Yi's person, this is true." ”
"What about him?"
"There is a deal between me and Luo Yi, and I can't tell you both what this deal is yet. In short, Luo Yi is a friend and not an enemy for the time being, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fight each other in the future. I can only say that Luo Yi is helping me now because he wants to use me. Before I leave Yanshanzhai, I will tell you what is going on. ”
Niu Xiu let out a sigh and said, "That's it!" Big boss, since you are not from the court, don't go! ”
Liu Heimin said: "Big boss, you don't know, that guy is spreading rumors all day long, saying that if you don't leave Yanshan again, the cavalry under the mountain will be killed." He also said, you are Luo Yi's son, the reason why you came here is because you are angry with Luo Yi, Luo Yi has sent a large army to ask you to go back, if you don't go back, you will slaughter our Yan Cottage! ”
