Chapter 494: It's time for Li Yuanhao to take a curtain call

readx;

Ma Chang and Xu Mazi got a more satisfactory answer than they thought. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Before they came, they just wanted to get some ready-made benefits from the party, but now Chen Yuan not only gave them all these things, but also opened the door for their future development, the two of them left with a happy mood, and went back to inform everyone to get ready, the party is here, they are going to have a bumper harvest.

After Chen Yuan sent them away, he went with Liu Ping to see the troops, and now the troops stationed in Yaode City basically have no fighting, Shan Yu Fuguang and Li Shibin have defeated Xiping Mansion, and Li Yuanhao has lost the ability to threaten Yaode City.

To put it bluntly, war is only a continuation of politics and economics, and when some problems cannot be solved by political and economic means, it is necessary to resort to war in order to make one of them bow its head. But after the war, it is still necessary to use political and economic means to deal with the aftermath.

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty used to bow his head every time to avoid war, because he lacked confidence in victory. This victory had obviously made Renzong raise his head, and in order to ensure that Renzong could hold his dragon head high every time in the future, Chen Yuan had already made some minor changes in Liu Ping's troops.

From the hands of those party members, Chen Yuan got two thousand war horses, which made him very happy. So the first thing to do is to train the cavalry, so that the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty can learn to ride.

The requirements for these soldiers were not very high, and Chen Yuan did not expect that his soldiers would become qualified cavalrymen after they got on horseback, and they could gallop and kill the enemy on horseback.

But at least be able to run on horseback. After a few battles, it can be seen that this speed is really the key on the battlefield, that is, because the Song army does not have four legs, so it has fought so many battles, and it has never fought a war of annihilation until now. Including the layers of fortification in the battle of General Ridge, in the end, Li Yuanhao still ran away.

Imagine if the Song army had 2,000 cavalry in the war, the scenario would have been different.

"How's the soldier's riding practice?"

Liu Ping shook his head: "No, it's uneven." Some soldiers were already able to slash with their swords on their horses, and some were still afraid to let their horses run while pulling on the reins. ”

Chen Yuan was surprised by this: "This is natural, do you know the first time I came to the party to fight?" Two thousand horses were gathered, which is a substitute for transportation. The real battle was fought by me for half a month before I dared to fight against the enemy's cavalry. And at that time, there were soldiers who had to tie themselves to their horses. ”

Liu Ping smiled: "I know this." I'm wondering if we can pick out some of our people who are relatively skilled in horsemanship, and let them be military leaders or commanders, and then recruit those party leaders who are good at riding and archery. ”

Chen Yuan thought for a moment: "This method is good. ”

Liu Ping hesitated for a moment: "Master Horse, what about the problem of the prison army?" Immediately build up cavalry, do you also send the overseers in? ”

The first batch of overseers selected by Renzong had already arrived in Yaode City, and they were assigned to the ranks of those commanders and commanders according to their ranks. Even some of the capitals have prison guards around them.

For the arrival of these civilian officials, the soldiers of the army can also accept it. However, the differences in the concepts of the two sides are irreconcilable.

Let's talk about the simplest thing, in the ranks of the Song army, all the heads slept with the soldiers in the Chase bunk, and more than a dozen people were crowded on top of a bunk, even if they were commanders, they slept with their own soldiers. This was normal for a soldier, and no commander ever complained about anything.

In their opinion, this is the best. Everyone huddles together, and when it's cold, three people can cover two quilts to keep each other warm, and once there is an emergency, at least the brothers are around.

But not the literati. They think that several big men sleep together, and they are naked at every turn, which is really a bit unusual.

That's why Liu Ping asked this question.

Chen Yuan did not hesitate: "Send, of course we have to send the prison army." Those prison guards have just arrived, and there must be something they are not used to. Let Sima Guang do this work, you don't have to worry about it, tell them, if you don't want to do it, you can go back to me immediately, and there is no official for them to do when you go back, and you can go back wherever your home is. ”

Liu Ping smiled bitterly: "Sima Jianjun is not bad, and he is also appeasing the emotions of these people, but if they don't integrate with the troops, it will be very unfavorable to us." Let's just say that yesterday, a prison guard came to me to complain, do you know what he sued? ”

Chen Yuan didn't want to guess: "Sue what?" ”

Liu Ping said: "It's Yan Zhan's kid's prison army, Yan Zhan is also kind, worried that it will be too cold this day, afraid that he will freeze if he sleeps on a quilt alone, so let him sleep on a quilt with himself." As a result, the next day the prison soldier came to complain, saying that he had a habit of breaking his sleeves, and touched him with his hand in the middle of the night. ”

Chen Yuan laughed when he heard this, as a married man, they could understand this.

Liu Ping also smiled: "I called that Yan Zhan to ask, and he said that he dreamed of his wife last night, and he only felt that there was someone in his arms, so he went to touch it, and when he touched it, he found that it was not, so he didn't care." ”

This kind of thing is normal in the army, everyone sleeps in a quilt, and no one gets angry if there is any indecent action in their sleep, even if they are angry, the way they use it is to lift the other party up and punch them twice, and they have never made trouble to Shangguan like that prison army.

Just like Sima Guang put on a military uniform, there must be a process for the prison soldiers to adapt, there is no need to worry about this, I think Yan Zhan will be far away from the prison army tonight, and when the prison army is frozen alone and can't stand it, he will naturally accept this way of sleeping together.

Chen Yuan suddenly remembered Bai Yutang, there seemed to be a prison army by his side, I don't know what his relationship with the prison army is, I think Bai Yutang is also a famous talent in the rivers and lakes, it should be better than others.

Put this question aside for a moment, he thought about the cavalry again, not that he can fight on horseback, the cavalry charge also has a formation, just like Li Yuanhao did last time in Jiangjunling, the real elite can make the whole formation look like a shield when charging!

This requires training, Zeng Gongliang must have information there, and Chen Yuan has already sent someone back to ask him to collect information on this. At the same time, there is also experience to learn from the war between Li Yuanhao and these party tycoons.

With qualified soldiers, there must also be qualified military systems, weapons, tactics, and formations.

"How is Bai Yutang? His riding skills should be fine, right? ”

Liu Ping smiled when he heard this: "That's natural, he can make some movements that only party members can make on horseback, and every time he tries to ride, he is the fastest." ”

When Chen Yuan heard this, he knew that he would have another reason to keep Bai Yutang in the army after he went back, so he told Renzong and Bao Zheng that he was going to form a cavalry, Bai Yutang was a superb horseman, and he needed him to stay and help.

As the two were talking, they saw that the soldiers who had tried to ride had returned, and it was really Bai Yutang who took the lead, not only was he faster than the ordinary cavalry, but even Yan Zhan and the others, who had come to the party with Chen Yuan last time, were a few horses behind.

Bai Yutang saw Chen Yuan standing here, and rushed over on his horse. It wasn't until the healthy horse was a few steps away from Chen Yuan that it suddenly stopped with a rein.

Chen Yuan smiled: "Yutang's riding skills are good, I will ask you again now, you really want to stay, I will recommend you to the emperor when I form a cavalry." When the time comes, you won't be able to go back. ”

Bai Yutang smiled proudly on the horse: "I have already decided that I will go into battle in this life, and there is no longer such a person as Bai Wuye on the rivers and lakes." ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay, then it's decided." How's your overseer? If he can't get along with you, I can change it for you. ”

This can be regarded as a back door opened by Chen Yuan to Bai Yutang, he knows that Bai Yutang's surname is Qinggao, if the prison army has a little insulting look, I am afraid that Bai Yutang can do something out of the ordinary, it will not be as simple as a complaint.

Bai Yutang smiled: "Thank you Brother Chen for your concern, you can rest assured that I discussed the poems with Lord Jianjun all night last night, and I fell in love." This morning, all the overseers were sleeping, but my overseers were willing to accompany me out for a test ride. ”

He said here and turned his head slightly: "This is my Lord Supervisor,"

When he said this, his face suddenly changed, and the excitement just now was completely gone: "Not good! Where's my Warden? ”

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Didn't he follow you?" ”

Bai Yutang sighed in annoyance: "Hey! He doesn't know how to ride a horse, so I let him ride on my horse and pull my clothes behind me all the time! It must be that Yang Qing chased me too quickly just now, and accidentally dropped my prison lord, Brother Chen, General Liu, you are here for a while, I will go and find him back, don't get hurt. ”

Chen Yuan immediately understood, and his face was also shocked, this Bai Yutang must be racing with people, and he rushed to the place where he was happy and threw the prison army down! This horse speed is very fast, and those prison soldiers are all scholars, so it's really good not to have anything happen! If the first prison army is hung up like this, it will certainly give a pretext to those who oppose his own system!

When he was angry, he slapped Bai Yutang's buttocks: "Don't look for it yet!" ”

Watching Bai Yutang gallop away all the way, Chen Yuan was worried about whether the prison army could come back safely, Tie Anli suddenly ran over and whispered in his ear: "Shopkeeper, Lord Xia is here, something big has happened in Xingqing Mansion." ”

Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly changed, and he said to Liu Ping: "Liu Ping, you stay here to see how the prison army is, I guess the injury is certain." If something serious happens, come and talk to me right away. ”

Liu Ping nodded in response, and Chen Yuan quickly followed Tie Anli away. He knew that if there was good news this time, the game would be over.

After entering the door, Chen Yuan first looked at Xia Sui's face, only to see a smile on Xia Sui's face, and he was immediately happy: "How is it, is there any good news?" ”

Xia Sui smiled: "The lower official is here to report the good news to the master of the horse, and it is a double happiness." ”

Chen Yuan glared at him: "Don't sell it, say it right now." ”

Xia Sui hugged his fists: "Yes, first of all, Zhang Yuan is dead." The second joy is that there is already tension between Li Yuanhao and Yeli Yuqi, and now Yeli Yuqi's troops are all stationed outside the city of Xingzhou Mansion, and they have formed a confrontation situation with Li Yuanhao. ”

Chen Yuan was not surprised at all when he heard the first news, but the second news really surprised him: "Oh? Let's take it personally! ”

Xia Sui said the conflict between Li Yuanhao and Yeli Yuqi, and the more he said the end, the more a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth, and when Xia Sui finished speaking, Chen Yuan walked back and forth in the room twice, suddenly stood still, and said in a firm tone: "Li Yuanhao should take a curtain call!" Xia Sui, do you dare to go to see Yeli Yuqi? ”

Xia Suiyi clenched his fists: "Xia Guan has this intention." ”
