164 Combat readiness
Ren Shaoming was beheaded in Jiujiang City by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling in full view of everyone.
Although the Iron Knights had tried their best to blockade it, the news reached the leaders of the major forces the next day.
The intelligence system of Pegasus Ranch is not bad, and Yu Ji also got the news.
Qingjiao Ren Shaoming's fame in the south is second only to "Heavenly Knife" Song Que, and comparable to "King of Chu" Lin Shihong. Behind Ren Shaoming is the "Tiele Flying Eagle" Qu Ao, and behind Lin Shihong is the Yin faction. Before Ren Shaoming was killed, there were rumors in the rivers and lakes that his Iron Cavalry would ally with Lin Shihong's Chu army, so that Lin Shihong's power could extend from the south bank of the Yangtze River to Lingnan, occupy a large area of territory in the south, and would become the most likely force to unify the south.
As soon as Ren Shaoming died, this pattern was naturally broken, and the beneficiaries were Xiao Mill, the king of Liang, who was in the same south and occupied Baling, and Song Valve, who occupied Lingnan.
At the same time, this also represents the rise of the two young masters like Huixing, and is known as the five major young masters together with Saibei Bafenghan, "Shadow Swordsman" Yang Xuyan and "Amorous Son" Hou Xibai.
Of course, there is a lot of water in this, and among the young generation of masters, there are still many people who want to surpass these five. Needless to say, the two legendary masters of Shi Feixuan and Wan Wan, in addition to the two of them, there are Shi Qingxuan, Dugufeng, Da Kezhi, Fu Junchang, Song Shidao, etc., each of whom is not under them.
The next time, the people of the Dongming faction were also going to leave the ranch, and Shang Xiuxun and Zheng Xie saw each other off outside the city gate.
Zheng Xie said: "We will inevitably deal with each other in the future, and Wanjing will not turn me away at that time." ”
Shan Wanjing said: "The Dongming faction opens its doors to do business, treats everyone equally, and Brother Zheng is still my honored guest. I believe that Brother Zheng will show his prominence one day, and Wanjing is waiting for your news in Dongming. ”
Zheng Xie smiled and didn't say much on this topic, but his face was full of confidence. He instructed again: "The situation in the world is unstable, Wanjing must be careful all the way." ”
Shan Wanjing said confidently: "Our Dongming faction only sells weapons, and does not participate in the disputes in the world, and the forces in the rivers and lakes give some face." But if anyone dares to bully us, the Dongming faction is not easy to provoke. ”
Speaking of which, the positions of the Dongming faction and the Pegasus Ranch are very similar, one sells weapons and the other sells war horses, and neither participates in the competition for the world, the difference is that the Pegasus Ranch is located in the hinterland of Jianghan and occupies a large area of fertile land, while the Dongming faction is in the overseas Ryukyus, and the war generally does not burn there.
Shan Wanjing said: "Brother Zheng, the owner of the mall, let's say goodbye." ”
Zheng Xie nodded, hugged his fists and said, "Take care on the road, there will be a period later." ”
After sending off the Dongming faction, Zheng Xie went to see Li Jing again.
Li Jing's training has been fruitful, and he has become the head of the ranch from a captain of the government guard, and his subordinates have trained thousands of elite soldiers in the ranch.
Zheng Xie praised in a big way: "General Li did a good job, it won't be long before you can become a real general of soldiers and horses." ”
Every time Li Jing heard this title, he was a black line, smiled bitterly, and said: "The soldiers of the ranch are much stronger than I imagined, their combat power is not inferior to the regular Sui army, but they lack the tempering of the war, if they fight a few battles, they can be upgraded to another level, which can be compared with the private army of the four major lords." ”
Zheng Xie waved his hand and said, "I don't understand this at all, just look at it yourself." I estimate that within ten days, Li Mi will make a move, and with the existing strength of the ranch, how many chances can he have against the four great Kou. ”
Li Jing said proudly: "The total number of the four great Kou is about 8,000 to 10,000, but they are just a group of rabble, they don't know how to fight at all, and the ranch only needs 3,000 elite soldiers to defeat them in one blow." ”
Zheng Xie nodded lightly, and said: "In my first battle, I am going to capture all the four major Kou and take their elite into the ranch army. ”
Li Jing frowned and said: "There are only 5,000 elite soldiers in the pasture, and at most 3,000 rogue soldiers can be recruited. ”
Zheng Xie shook his hand and said: "This is your business, in short, the more people you recruit, the better, and let them form combat power as quickly as possible." In a few days, there will be a big war, and then these rogues will have the opportunity to become regular soldiers, and if they can be soldiers, who wants to be thieves. General Lee, show your courage, now is the time for you to perform! I think so! ”
threw the problem to Li Jing, and Zheng Xie shook his hand and left.
Three days later, two pastry chefs came to the ranch canteen.
The servants of the ranch lived in a small courtyard behind the kitchen building on the east side of the inner fort, and the pastry chef was given special care and assigned to a small courtyard with a separate building.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were chatting in the room, and the former said: "Ling Shao, have you noticed that the guards of the ranch are strictly disciplined, and everyone's aura is much stronger than that of Daddy's Jianghuai Army and Xiang Xiaoshan's Liang soldiers. ”
Xu Ziling nodded, and said: "Have you found that the layout and architecture of the ranch are very mysterious, and if you understand it carefully, you always feel that there is a strange charm in it." ”
Kou Zhong said: "I can't imagine that there is such a powerful force hidden in the valley, if I can get the full help of the ranch, it will be easy to defeat a force that can be comparable to Daddy and Xiao Miao." ”
Xu Ziling said: "Zhong Shao don't dream in vain, let's think about it, wait a minute, what snacks should be made for the owner." ”
"Dangdangdang." The door slammed.
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were shocked, only to feel a cool breath jump up their spines. Their ** ** "Recipe for Longevity" is very strange, especially in perception is extremely sensitive, ordinary people can detect it from ten zhang away, but this time they were touched at the door, but they didn't find it at all, which made their hearts beat drums.
Kou Zhong held Jing Zhongyue and whispered, "If that person outside is either a ghost, he is a peerless master who is ten times more powerful than Daddy and Rheumatism. ”
Xu Ziling said: "Ten times more powerful than my father, I'm afraid the three great masters are just like that." Oh my God, could it be...... Ning Daoqi is here himself. ”
Kou Zhong said: "I'm thinking, as soon as we open the door, do we fight or just run away." ”
Xu Ziling said: "Zhong Shao, don't be so pessimistic, how can such a character embarrass us two nameless boys." Let's go, open the door. ”
Squeak......
The door opened, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exclaimed, "Brother Zheng! ”
"Xiao Zhong, Ziling, long time no see." Zheng Xie said with a smile, he had already made people pay attention to the movement of the kitchen, and he knew the news as soon as these two boys came.
"I already know about your killing of Ren Shaoming, and you did a good job. Goodbye Jianghu, you have really become famous all over the world. ”
"It's still too far from Brother Zheng." This is the true word of the two.
Zheng Xie said: "You came just in time, I have something to ask you to help with." ”
The two of them looked straight, and Xu Ziling said: "Brother Zheng has a request, just give it an order." (To be continued.) )
