After all, Zhu Cang, the future king of Garuda, is still just a county official, with relatively little experience and experience, and his ability and intelligence are still in the growth stage.

Then in the early morning of the next day, Zhu Cang, who had been instructed by a master, ran to the county soldiers' camp with Ma Sanbao to teach his marksmanship and martial arts to the new army of Qiaojun, and Ma Sanbao, who had been instructed by Chen Yingliang, did not need Zhu Cang to teach him any too clever marksmanship tricks, but only asked Zhu Cang to teach these soldiers some simple and practical tricks, which could be fast and ruthless enough - for ordinary soldiers, on the battlefield, as long as they were fast and ruthless enough, it was useless to learn too many tricks, On the battlefield where efficiency and speed are pursued, these soldiers may be harmed.

Not to mention, Zhu Cang is more sorry than anyone else in terms of character and conscience, but he has a few brushes in terms of martial arts, and on the same day, he carefully taught the two extremely practical marksmanship tricks to the recruits of Qiaojun, and explained how to work hard, how to collect the gun, and how to prevent the enemy from counterattacking after stabbing the air, Ma Sanbao was overjoyed but not greedy, so that the soldiers of Qiaojun just practiced these two marksmanship with their hearts, and asked Zhu Cang to guide and teach at the side, and correct mistakes at any time, Zhu Cang also worked hard, never left the school from morning to night, and taught and instructed the new army of Qianjun with his heartAt the end of the day, it also made these new army soldiers firmly remember the two marksmanship.

Seeing this scene, Ma Sanbao was of course secretly happy in his heart, and he was also greedy for Dasheng, and when he saw Chen Yingliang after returning home in the evening, he asked Chen Yingliang to leave Zhu Cang in Yongcheng for a while longer, and let Zhu Cangduo teach some practical marksmanship to the soldiers of the new army.

The army is Chen Yingliang's lifeline, when Zhu Cang taught the new army martial arts marksmanship, Chen Yingliang of course went to the scene to watch, and also witnessed Zhu Cang's hard work, after listening to Ma Sanbao's construction, he was naturally a little tempted, after thinking for a long time, Chen Yingliang said: "Let him train our army for three days, within three days, you can get six marksmanship from him, it doesn't take much, one is that there are more of our soldiers who can't remember, and the other is that Zhu Cang has been kept for too long, and if you want to drive him away, you can't pull your face." ”

Although he didn't understand why Chen Yingliang was so disgusted with Zhu Cang, who was excellent in martial arts, Ma Sanbao didn't insist, honestly took the order, and went to Zhu Cangtao to make friends and pull relationships, coaxing him to teach soldiers for two more days, and Chen Yingliang found an excuse to temporarily stay in Yongcheng for two days without mentioning it.

In this way, under the flickering of Ma Sanbao, and coveted the forage that Chen Yingliang hung in front of him and hung in front of him that could be seen and unreachable, and Zhu Cang, who didn't know that he was on Chen Yingliang's blacklist, was like an old donkey pulling a mill, and he practiced for Chen Yingliang for two days with great care, and on the third day, Chen Yingliang, who had squeezed a lot of oil and water from Zhu Can, finally plucked the iron rooster once for the next plan, and ordered his subordinates to prepare a good wine banquet on the table, ready to treat Zhu Cang with a meal of wine and meat in the evening, and reward a little money. Then on the fourth day, he sent Zhu Cang and Deng Zhixuan to get out of the house together.

It was also a coincidence that at noon, he just ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet, and before long the time passed, the eldest grandson Wuji returned to Yongcheng from the eastern capital Luoyang, and brought Chen Yingliang a fleet full of weapons and armor.

As soon as the heavy official ship landed under the pull of the slender man, and without waiting for the gangplank to be lowered, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had not been seen for almost a month, jumped off the boat, rushed to Chen Yingliang and saluted quickly, and said with a smile: "Brother, guess how many armor and weapons the emperor gave us this time?" ”

"Little ghost, how can I guess?" Chen Yingliang scolded with a smile, and complained: "You little guy, why don't you send someone to deliver a letter when you come back?" I've been worried about it these days, for fear that something will happen to you on the road. ”

"I wanted to give you a big surprise, so I deliberately didn't send someone to deliver the letter first." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "Brother, you have to hold on next, the weapons and armor that His Majesty the Emperor gave us this time are two thousand sets of infantry iron armor (non-infantry armor) alone!" There are also 200 sets of Mingguang armor, 600 good bows, 30,000 good wolf tooth arrows, 100 crossbows, 5,000 crossbow arrows, 2,000 military horizontal knives, 2,000 shields, and 300 good horses in the Western Regions! Two hundred handles of horse lance! ”

"Gave so much?" Chen Yingliang opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "What did you do on this mission, to ask His Majesty the Emperor to reward us with so many weapons and equipment?" You must know that in Chen Yingliang's prediction, as long as the eldest grandson Wuji can get a thousand sets of iron armor and 300 bows this time, Chen Yingliang will already be extremely satisfied.

"This little brother doesn't dare to be greedy, the main reason is that His Majesty the Emperor has high hopes for you, brother, and there are many important ministers of the court to help you speak, so that the younger brother can ask for so many weapons and armor." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled even more happily, and said excitedly: "Brother, do you know that how many important ministers of the court and the central government are there who helped us speak this time......?" ”

"I'm one of them." A vaguely familiar voice suddenly came from the side, and he said with a smooth smile: "Nephew Ying Liangxian, this time the uncle asked for these armor and weapons for you, but he talked a lot to Uncle Xiao in the court, and offended the dignified uncle, this time Uncle I came to Yongcheng, you have to thank me as an uncle." ”

Chen Yingliang turned his head in surprise and saw that it was a bad old man in a gorgeous leather robe who said this, and then Chen Yingliang's eyes almost popped out, and he exclaimed again: "Yun Shaoqing, why are you here too?" "It turns out that this bad old man is none other than Yun Dingxing Yun Shaoqing, who is the thickest skinned in the entire Great Sui Dynasty.

"I'm here to give you a weapon, and do some other things." Yun Da Shaoqing showed the bright yellow scroll in his hand, and when he saw Chen Yingliang saluting and preparing to receive the order immediately, Yun Da Shaoqing hurriedly stopped it and said, "Let's talk about it when we get to your Tongshou Mansion, such a big snow, don't freeze your legs." ”

Chen Yingliang, who didn't want to kneel alone in the ice and snow to suffer, agreed, and when he got up, an acquaintance flashed behind Yun Dingxing, but it was Qian Xiangmin, who was pushed out of the top cylinder by Chen Yingliang several times, and greeted Chen Yingliang with a very reluctant smile, "Chen Tongshou, congratulations on your promotion again, the villain is happy to you." ”

"Qian Fucheng, why are you here too?" Chen Yingliang was stunned and asked very strangely: "Aren't you the mansion of Taifu?" How could it be with the fleet of the Arsenal Agency? ”

"It's not a mansion anymore, because the last time the Wagang thieves robbed the ship, the small one has been cut to the people." Qian explained to the people with a sad face, and said with a sad face: "Chen Tongshou, I came to join you this time, and please remember your past friendships, and reward me with a bowl of rice." ”

Chen Yingliang opened his mouth and stammered, so he could only nod stupidly first, and then Yun Da Shaoqing pulled Chen Yingliang to introduce his entourage to Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang hurriedly made a line of courtesy, and he was very busy, and he secretly complained in his heart, knowing that all the New Year's gifts he received during this time must be fed to the dogs, and most of them had to be taken out to send Yun Da Shaoqing, an insatiable old shameless.

No matter how much you complain, it is useless, it is not a wise magistrate to snub the people from the court, and when he was forced to be helpless, Chen Yingliang could only pluck the feathers of the iron rooster again, send someone home to report the news, let the family prepare more wine banquets, and prepare to entertain this group of jackals and hungry tigers, and then quickly recruited the people to come to unload the goods, and then introduced Xie Weiping and Dong You and others to Yun Da Shaoqing and others, and continued to be very busy.

As the local emperor of Qian County, Chen Yingliang of course did not need to personally supervise the unloading of the ship and personally count the weapons and armor, and handed over these errands to Yuan Tiangang, Changsun Wuji and Dong You and others, and after transferring the new army team to help, Chen Yingliang also led Yun Da Shaoqing and others to set off back to the city, and it was also on the way that Chen Yingliang learned from Yun Da Shaoqing's mouth about the before and after of Emperor Yang of Sui's reward for weapons.

It turned out that Pei Ju had already forwarded the piece of asking for weapons for Chen Yingliang long before the Chinese New Year, and it also caused a controversy in the imperial court at that time, and some court officials led by Uncle Xiao Guo naturally opposed this matter, accusing Chen Yingliang of expanding the number of township soldiers too much, and also insinuating to question Chen Yingliang's purpose of expanding the army.

Of course, Pei Ju dared to forward this piece for Chen Yingliang, so he naturally would not be afraid of the accusations and doubts of Uncle Xiao Guo and others, and also pulled a group of his own party colleagues to echo Chen Yingliang's request, and took out the precedent that Emperor Yang of Sui had allocated weapons and war horses to Zhang Xutuo, a famous general in the rebellion, and tried his best to persuade Emperor Yang of Sui to use the power of the court to help Chen Yingliang quickly build an army and form combat effectiveness, and then train a Zhang Xutuo to come out to share the worries of Emperor Yang of Sui. At the same time, because Pei Ju has many powerful henchmen, this call is much louder than the opposition of Uncle Xiao Guo's party.

The final word was made by General Yuwen Shu, because he received Chen Yingliang's rich New Year's gifts, and General Yuwen, who had a good reputation for doing practical things after receiving money, also stood up to help Pei Ju, pointing out that the advantages of helping Chen Yingliang quickly build an army and form combat effectiveness far outweighed the disadvantages, and begged Emperor Yang of Sui to imitate Zhang Xutuo's example, and also gave direct help to Chen Yingliang, who was also outstanding on the battlefield of counterinsurgency.

Pei Ju is the number one celebrity in front of Emperor Yang of Sui, and Yu Wenshu is the number one favorite minister in front of Emperor Yang of Sui, they all stand on Chen Yingliang's side, and the wall grass represented by Yun Da Shaoqing certainly knows how to choose, and they all stand on Chen Yingliang's side and fight with Uncle Xiao Guo, plus the help of Fan Lao stubborn and Yang Zhiji and others. In the end, Emperor Yang of Sui waved his hand and sent Chen Yingliang weapons and equipment that exceeded expectations, and said that I could trust Chen Aiqing, if it wasn't for Chen Aiqing being too young, I wanted him to be like Laihu'er, and take charge of a court army alone! also did have high hopes for Chen Yingliang, but he didn't know that little Chen Shimei Chen Yingliang had ruined his innocent daughter, and he was full of roundworms and bad water, and he never thought of really working for him.

As for arranging for Yun Da Shaoqing to come to deliver the decree and send weapons, it was because Chen Yingliang's ten movable type printed Fan Huazong's poetry collection caused trouble, and as Chen Yingliang expected, the face-loving Fan Lao stubbornly did not love his poems, and because of the high cost of engraving printing in this era, although he accepted the gift for his own life, he had to pay for the printing cost, and as a result, the eldest grandson Wuji was forced to say that the cost of letterpress printing was low, and roughly introduced the fast and cheap letterpress printing. Then Fan Zigai quickly stabbed this matter to Emperor Yang of Sui, and it happened that Emperor Yang of Sui was also very interested in poetry and book anthologies, how could he let go of such a good thing when he heard it? It was also arranged for the famous craftsman Yun Da Shaoqing to come to Yongcheng to study.

After introducing these, Yun Da Shaoqing also said to Chen Yingliang sneakily: "Virtuous nephew, in fact, the saint originally planned to issue an order for you to enter a set of letterpresses, but it was Uncle I who had something to do with you, so I volunteered to come to Yongcheng to spread the decree, and by the way, I learned from you about letterpress printing." ”

"Uncle, do you have something to do with me? If you have something to do, just send someone to give an order, do you need to come to this poor country in Yongcheng in person? Chen Yingliang pretended to be surprised and asked, but scolded in his heart, "I am shameless, I take the opportunity to extort bamboo and say it clearly, what are you pretending to do?" ”

"Gotta come in person." Yunda Shaoqing's answer surprised Chen Yingliang, and he also whispered in Chen Yingliang's ear: "Don't hide it from the virtuous nephew, uncle, because I am diligent in the Shaofu, the imperial weapons made by the saint are all dissatisfied, and Yuwen Zhuguo also said some good things for me in front of the saint, so the saint plans to let me lead the general of the left imperial guard, uncle, I also plan to show a good hand in the martial arts, and share the worries for the saint, virtuous nephew, you are the person who knows the most about military training in our Great Sui, do you say that the uncle can not come to ask you for help?" This time, I will stay in your eternal city for a few more days, and you should give me some advice, uncle. ”

Chen Yingliang looked at Yun Da Shaoqing in disbelief, and saw that Yun Da Shaoqing's face was full of joy and even wrinkles were smiling, only then did he know that Yun Da Shaoqing was not joking, and muttered in his heart that it was no wonder that the combat effectiveness of the Sui army was getting worse and worse, and he hurriedly said hello to Yun Da Shaoqing, and even said that he would help to the end. Yun Da Shaoqing smiled even more happily, and patted Chen Yingliang's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, nephew, when the uncle officially takes office, he will never forget your favor." Uncle, I was originally a young superintendent, in charge of weapon building, and I also held that position, do you think weapons and armor are not a matter of words? ”

Yun Da Shaoqing's words reminded Chen Yingliang, considering that although Yun Da Shaoqing's character is despicable, he is a genius in weapon manufacturing, and he can help himself more after holding the real power of Zuo Yuwei, Chen Yingliang's attitude towards Yun Da Shaoqing is naturally more affectionate and respectful, and he also humbly and humbly personally hugged Yun Da Shaoqing and dismounted, took him into his own home to entertain him, and was so respectful and thoughtful that he almost helped Yun Da Shaoqing to the altar to burn incense and worship.

The next thing is, of course, to issue the decree, all of them are their own people, of course Yun Da Shaoqing did not make it difficult for Chen Yingliang, he quickly read the holy decree of Emperor Yang of Sui and then let Chen Yingliang get up, the content is almost all nonsense, except for a lot of incomprehensible Chinese, it is to explain the number of weapons and equipment rewarded, and then ask Chen Yingliang to be an errand with all his heart, and do his best to suppress thieves, so as not to disappoint the great and generous Emperor Yang of Sui. In addition, there is another sentence that Chen Yingliang can understand, that is, he praised Chen Yingliang for taking precautions to prevent the spread of Du Fuwei's thieves to Huainan.

Take precautions to prevent Du Fuwei's thieves from spreading to Huainan, this is the eldest grandson Wuji came up with an excuse for Chen Yingliang to ask for weapons, Chen Yingliang originally did not report much hope for this, but the harvest greatly exceeded the need, Chen Yingliang was of course very happy, and quickly thanked him, and then got up with the personal support of Yun Da Shaoqing, and hurriedly asked people to bring gifts to send Yun Da Shaoqing, and Yun Da Shaoqing did come to ask Chen Yingliang this time, and he also sincerely pushed and did not accept it once, Chen Yingliang insisted on sending, Pushing back and forth with Yun Da Shaoqing, there was no result for a long time.

"Report!"

When he was pushing, the old neighbor Sangouzi suddenly rushed into the lobby quickly, and shouted at the report from a distance, Chen Yingliang was a little angry this time, and rushed to shout at Sangouzi: "Don't have long eyes? What to shout? I didn't see Yun Shaoqing here, what should I do if I was shocked? ”

"Damn the villain." The three dogs hurriedly pleaded guilty, and then said with a nervous expression: "But Lord Tongshou, it's really urgent, and the county order of Fuli County, Pengcheng County, which borders us, sent a post guard to send an urgent paperwork, the document is pasted with chicken feathers, and the post guard has a red flag on his back, and the villain has heard that this is a hundred thousand urgent military information, so he is in a hurry to come in and report." ”

"Where's the expedited paperwork?" Chen Yingliang asked in surprise.

The three dogs hurriedly presented the official document in their hands, and there were really three chicken feathers on the official document that represented a very urgent matter, Chen Yingliang quickly took the official document and opened it, and when he took a closer look at the content of the official document, Chen Yingliang was suddenly dumbfounded, and he was stunned on the spot. Yun Da Shaoqing saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Virtuous nephew, what's wrong?" ”

"Fuli County ordered an urgent report, and after the thief Du Fuwei fled to Xiapi County, he merged with the Xiapi thief Miao Haichao." Chen Yingliang replied in despair: "Then he fled west to Pengcheng County, invaded the border of Fuli County, and the Fuli County Commander asked me for help, and warned me that the thieves were flowing in the direction of Yongcheng, and it seemed that there was an attempt to invade the county, and the number of thieves had exceeded 30,000. ”

"I see." Yun Da Shaoqing nodded casually, but when he was halfway through, Yun Da Shaoqing immediately came back to his senses and immediately screamed like a pig: "What? More than 30,000 thieves are killing in the direction of Yongcheng?! Close the gates! Close the gates! Close all the gates of the eternal city to me! ”

Screaming, Yun Da Shaoqing simply jumped up and down, yelling and just urging the three dogs to order the city gate to be closed, Chen Yingliang hurriedly comforted: "Uncle, don't be afraid, the thieves won't be able to reach Yongcheng for a while and a half, Fu is two hundred miles away from Yongcheng, and the thieves are all infantry, and they can't reach Yongcheng in two or three days." ”

"It's so far away." Yun Da Shaoqing, who almost peed his pants, breathed a sigh of relief, and after coming back to his senses, Yun Da Shaoqing, who had a little friendship with Chen Yingliang, turned a little pale again, and hurriedly reminded: "Ying Liangxian nephew, be careful, the Holy Lord just praised you in the Holy Decree for your precautions against the thief Du Fuwei, and now Du Fuwei is coming to Yongcheng immediately, if you can't stop him and let him kill into Qian County, or even wander to Huainan, then you are not so easy to explain in front of the Holy Lord." ”

"Thank you uncle for your advice, I'm just worried about this, that's why I'm so worried." Chen Yingliang nodded with a sad face, and scolded in his heart: "Brother-in-law, you crow's mouth, what are you really talking about, now it's okay, if Du Fuwei really comes to the side of Qiaojun, I have to fight with him." Damn, my army has just been formed, and even the weapons and armor are not fully in place, how can this battle be fought? ”
