Chapter 308: Expanding the Army

"Pan Feng, you take two hundred regiments to practice back to Jiazhou, and I will let Zhou Bofu's men lead the way for you. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Defeated thousands of displaced people in two successive battles, killed hundreds of backbone members of the Mixed Yuan Sect, and the casualties of the Yunzhou regimental training were less than twenty, and the power of the Mandarin Duck Array was undoubtedly revealed; However, Li You didn't want the Yunzhou gentry to see the strong combat effectiveness of the Yunzhou regimental training, so the more than 200 regimental training personnel would be reported by him as a death report in battle, in order to cover up their strength, and by the way to find an excuse for the expansion of the army.

Pan Feng was quite sullen, he didn't get much chance to play in these two battles, and when he went to Jiazhou, he didn't know when he would be able to come to the battlefield in person, but out of obedience to Li You, he still responded, "Yes, lord, when they are selected, Pan will set off." ”

"General Pan, don't be anxious, if there is a big battle next time, I will definitely bring the general." Li You also guessed his thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the last battle of Liantai was quite dangerous, and a mere fierce general couldn't play a big role, wait until the next time you enter the mission world to see if you can summon him.

"It's so good, the lord must not forget Pan when the time comes!" Pan Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately went down with Zhou Bofu to pick up the group training to go to Jiazhou, and they deliberately chose some group exercises with few relatives at home and far away from Yunzhou City, so as not to let anyone come to the camp to cry after the news spread.

"Leave a hundred regimental training troops here to guard against the comeback of the Mixed Yuan Sect, after this battle, they will not dare to bring a large army to attack, you only need to guard against small waves of thieves." For this reason, Li You deliberately chose a cautious hundred households to serve as the leader of the defenders, and he could fully cope with a small battle, if there was a large army attacking, the spies placed by Fan Li in the Mixed Yuan Sect could also send news before they left, oh, now these people have been changed to Sima Cuo's control.

After cleaning the battlefield, he harvested countless broken copper and iron and a lot of gold, silver and copper coins, and of course, the most precious thing was the grain that the Mixed Yuan Sect had scavenged from the people.

After dinner, rest for the night, the army embarked on the way home early the next morning, Pan Feng also took two hundred regimental training along the path to Jiazhou, this move also has a benefit, these veterans who have experienced battlefield battles are added to the Jiazhou regimental training, when they can greatly enhance their combat effectiveness, Yunzhou only has five hundred regimental training, Jiazhou now has three thousand, and this number is still increasing, there is Li You's real base now.

Leaving another 100 regimental training to guard Qingkou, Li You set off to return to Yunzhou with more than 300 soldiers, and when he came out, he took 500 regimental training, but only half of them were left when he returned, but the hundreds of heads stacked in the cart were enough to deal with the officials and gentry in Yunzhou, and the enemy lost 300 by thousands, such a proportion of battle losses was still within their acceptable range, if they knew that the Yunzhou regimental training had damaged more than 20 people, it would be easy to cause vigilance, which was greatly unfavorable to Li You's army expansion plan.

When he came out, he marched more than forty miles a day, and when he went back, he didn't have to be so fast, and Li You also wanted to make the gentry in Yunzhou City worry more time; At a speed of more than ten miles a day, they slowly and leisurely shook for five days before returning to the outside of Yunzhou City, of course, they did not relax their training along the way, and they even conducted two simulation exercises when they encountered a suitable terrain.

It can be seen from the exercise that after this battle, the Yunzhou regimental training has become a little more murderous, according to Li You's judgment, even if they are compared with the Zhenwei battalion in the battle of Weizhou, in the same number, the battle will not be at a disadvantage, this army is on the right path.

"We welcome the lord back to the city with a great victory!" As soon as they walked ten miles outside Yunzhou City, they met Zhou Yuanhao, Huang Yikan, and He Mengsun with the children of their three families and greeted them with joy, and the news that Qingkou Town had been recovered by the officers and soldiers had reached their ears at this time, and their land and houses could now finally be taken back.

"Thank you." Li You glanced around, but did not see Wei Ziyang, the prefect of Yunzhou, and Lu Binqian, the head of the Lu family, and others.

"When we heard that the officers and soldiers had recovered their villages, we were very grateful, so we came to meet them first; The prefect originally said that he would also go out of the city to greet the lord, but Mr. Lu said that the prefect was the lord of a city, and he should not leave the city lightly, so he gave up. Zhou Yuanhao saw a trace of unhappiness in Li You's eyes, and took the opportunity to give Lu Binqian an eye medicine.

"The prefect is busy, and this is also a matter of course." Li You replied without being salty, and the three old foxes all heard the unhappiness in Li You's tone, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

"We also prepared some fine wine, pigs and sheep to reward the army, and I hope that the lord will accept it with a face." The three of them stretched out their hands and pointed to the entourage behind them, only to see dozens of young men pushing large carts and small carts, on which were stacked wine jars with red paper, fresh pigs and mutton that had just been slaughtered, and some live pigs and sheep, which were enough for the Yunzhou regiment to practice eating and drinking for a while.

"At the time of such turmoil, there are three gentry who are so worried about state affairs, the training envoy of this regiment is deeply grateful, if the mixed yuan sect is completely exterminated in the future, the training envoy of this regiment will definitely report the merits of the three to the imperial court and ask for rewards for the three." For these gentry who are aware of current affairs, Li You doesn't mind giving a candy, "It's just that after this battle, the regimental training suffered heavy losses, and you will have your help in expanding the army in the future!" ”

"It should be, it should be! We have already prepared money and food. These gentry who had just taken their property from Li You's hands hurriedly agreed, although the restoration of mussels has receded, they still have very strong strength in other places, if they offend Li You's defenders who withdrew from mussels, their family should suffer again, and now their lives are all in Li You's hands, how dare they say a word? What's more, they are still faintly looking forward to getting more benefits from Li You in the future, the Lu family seems to have occupied so much land, can they help the Lu family plant some.

So Zhou Yuanhao, Huang Yikan, and He Mengsun all reported the money and food they were willing to bear, which was much more generous than when Li You first came to Yunzhou, and the money and food that the three of them were willing to bear was enough for Li You to recruit another 1,000 new regiments to practice.

After another kind words and good words, the army re-entered the road, and two hours later arrived outside Yunzhou City, and Wei Ziyang, Lu Binqian and others could be seen waiting outside the city gate from a distance.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li You's mouth, and he slowly walked forward; He had already made up his mind to learn from the predecessors of the Guanning Army and the Beiyang Army, who had raised self-respect and continued to strengthen themselves, and today he must get enough capital from these people to expand the army.
