Chapter 8: Grandeur (7)
Chapter 8: Grandeur (7)
"Don't dare, don't dare, General Gao rest assured, lowly duty, lowly position really has a friendship with Zheng Fangzhi!" Got up from the ground and shouted assurances with snot and tears on his face.
"Hmph!" Looking down on his bad appearance, the cavalry leader surnamed Gao pursed his lips and turned to leave. The two groups of cavalry immediately caught their way like fire tongs, clamped Wang Guang and his retinue in the center, and drove them north like cattle. The mount, which had been abandoned by everyone on the dock, was now a fragrant bait, unsaddled, and followed by four cavalrymen.
is a good son of heaven, a close minister, a governor of the capital, and he can't even catch up with a livestock. Wang Guang felt comfortable in his heart, how could he be comfortable? However, when he was depressed, he did not dare to put his mood on his face. On the contrary, he had to pretend to be like he had finally found his mother's family, and he almost set up a smile with the cavalry who escorted him, "Several strong men are so powerful, they should all be the descendants of Guo Linggong, right? But like a few, people can't muster up the courage to look at it at a glance, but it's the first time I've encountered it!"
Immediately, a little smile appeared on their faces, shook their heads, and replied: "We are just here to fight for Guo Linggong, but we can't be regarded as his descendants!"
"We are the Yanai pro-army under the account of Gao Ling, and we have fought with the Khitans in previous years, of course, it is very different from the ones you have seen!"
"Guo Linggong's command is not all tigers. The pro-army in the Yanai is similar to us, but the others may not be able to compare with us!"
"Whether it's elite or not, you have to go to the battlefield to know, just to put flowers on the shelf, it's to see ......"
is the so-called what will bring what soldiers, the commander surnamed Gao is domineering, and these soldiers are also conceited and abnormal. I didn't put the other food counterparts in my eyes at all.
Although Wang Guang is among the small officials in Zhongshu Province, he is a very bad person. But compared to these straight-hearted soldiers, it is much more slippery. Hearing that the other party was happy, he continued to praise loudly: "This is so reasonable, the Holy Protector Army in Bianliang City is all useless." It's okay to bully ordinary people, but if you really fight against you, I'm afraid you can't beat one out of ten. ”
"Of course, it doesn't depend on who we are with? The chief general of the Holy Protector Army is not worthy of carrying shoes for our old handsome!"
"It's a bit of a boast to beat ten of them at a time, but if you fight in formation, it should be easy to break his battalion!"
"Those people are all pampered sons, we are famous with one knife and one shot!"
"If they don't go out of the city, they will ...... if they dare to go out of the city."
The soldiers did not understand what modesty was at all, and continued to boast triumphantly.
"Okay, don't say a few words, no one thinks you're dumb!" The leader surnamed Gao who led the team was really embarrassed to hear this, turned his head suddenly, and scolded loudly, "What kind of ability is it to compare with the Holy Protector Army? There is a kind of comparison you go to compare with the Cangzhou Army, and it will take less than two years for the army to become full, but yesterday, when the various departments were in the exercise, which army could compare with the soldiers and horses present?"
"This ......"
"Boundary ......"
"General, let's, let's ......"
The faces of the soldiers were as red as if they had been slapped several times. Sweating for a long time, no one has the courage to find any excuses for themselves.
The Cangzhou Army was formed less than two years ago, and the number of soldiers was only more than 3,000. In just a few days, he left a deep impression on all the soldiers and horses who came to help Guo Wei. There is no need to go to the battlefield to weigh, just stand next to any other team, and it will be immediately clear who is strong and who is weak.
Seeing that he claimed to have a relationship with Zheng Ziming, Wang Guang, a minor official in Zhongshu Province, actually had no impression of the Cangzhou Army at all. However, from the words of the leader surnamed Gao and the reactions of the soldiers around him, he was keenly aware that the new owner he was about to defect to seemed to be extraordinary. So, after being quiet for a while, he took advantage of the fact that the general surnamed Gao couldn't notice him, and whispered to the soldiers around him: "Can you? Why do you know how to on the way? Aren't you going to go directly to Bianliang and seek justice for Guo Linggong?"
"Nonsense, so many soldiers and horses come from different places, they won't a few times, how can the boss have a bottom in his heart?!"
"We are not all Guo Linggong's subordinates, if we don't recognize each other's flags first, how can we tell if we are friends or enemies when we fight on the battlefield?"
"You should be playing chess on paper, you won't a few times, just pull people up the battlefield. That's not a war, it's a deliberate ......"
The soldiers had just been disgraced by their own generals, and they were depressed, and they were hooked by Wang Guang's layman's words, and immediately pouted and choked in a low voice.
"Oh, so that said, the Cangzhou Army performed very well when it was able to exercise?" Wang Guang wanted this result, he didn't care about the attitude of speaking, smiled, and continued to inquire in a low voice.
When the soldiers heard this, the indignation on their faces instantly turned into embarrassment. One by one, they hesitated again and again before responding in a very low voice, "It can't be said that they are particularly good, anyway, they're different from all of us." It seems to be special, especially good at pulling postures, and standing in formation. Marching and standing, they are all very neat. Coupled with those previous achievements, everyone, although everyone may not be convinced, they can't say anything!"
"If they really want to fight, they may not be better than us. But people's walking, platooning, advancing and retreating, and changing formations are indeed clean and neat. If you can show your ability to play six or seven points on the battlefield, it will indeed be difficult for an ordinary team to stop its footsteps!"
"Everyone treats them as pro-soldiers, and treats them as pro-soldiers!" someone secretly looked at the senior general at the front of the team and added in a very low voice, "Let me tell you, Zheng Ziming's little money and food in Cangzhou is estimated to have been spent on these 3,000 people." So these people, all of them can be regarded as his personal soldiers. But then again, the war is fought if there are too few people. Even if the Cangzhou army is one to ten, and the other party is ruthless to suppress the army of fifty or sixty thousand, they will still crush them into pulp!"
"Oh!" Wang Guang nodded, making a sudden realization, "Indeed, to be a defensive envoy, three thousand soldiers and horses are enough." However, if all the soldiers and horses in the whole country were trained in this way, the treasury would have to run rats! A few strong men just said that in addition to Guo Linggong's soldiers and horses, there were many people who came with soldiers to help in the war? Who are they, how can they, how not, not ...... the imperial court?"
"Where is there any imperial court!" The soldiers pursed their mouths, and their faces were full of coldness, "Even the privy envoy and the prime minister, if they disagree, they will be killed, who dares to be the official of his Liu family? I said that you are old, this step is the right step." If you continue to stay on Bianliang's side, no matter how big the official is, he will not be able to be disliked by the little emperor one day, so he will directly "click" to give you a knife, and then kill your whole family!"
