Chapter 53: The sequelae of becoming an imperial uncle
“…… Xiangguo also had difficulties, after coming to Luoyang, he added a lot of soldiers and horses, and these things were distributed out, and there was nothing left.
The equipment of 1,000 soldiers and horses is not a small amount, and a fierce general like Kede, who values the people of Xiangguo, to form soldiers and horses, naturally cannot be like the rest of the people, just give some equipment to deal with the past, and must give good equipment to succeed......
Kidd waited a little longer, no more than three months at most, and he would be able to equip Cade with the corresponding horses, armor, and other things, and Cade would be able to recruit troops. ”
Li Ru said to Liu Cheng with a smile on his face, and what he said was reasonable.
This is the third day that Liu Cheng is officially called Uncle Liu Huang.
Liu Cheng made a plea for the expansion of the army to the above.
He was a cavalry lieutenant, with only 500 soldiers and horses, which was too small to be explained.
Those veterans who were laid off and worked as cooks and waiters in Taobao restaurants, as well as some other miscellaneous jobs, had been filled by the young men recruited by Liu Cheng near Luoyang at this time.
At this time, he still has Li Jin, a general who is not famous in history, but very powerful, and it is a pity to be idle.
As for arranging Li Jin to a position among the existing 500 soldiers and horses, Liu Cheng would not do this.
Five hundred soldiers and horses, with Liao Hua and Lu Yang here, is already more than enough, and if Li Jin is also involved, it will be a bit too wasteful.
Therefore, Liu Chengcheng is ready to apply to expand the number of soldiers and horses under his command.
Then, there is the meeting with Li Ru now, and the words that Li Ru said.
Hearing Li Ru say such words, Liu Cheng immediately understood that after he became Uncle Liu Huang, he really left some not very good things with Dong Zhuo.
Otherwise, according to Dong Zhuo's previous attitude towards himself, after he made this request, he would definitely agree.
The lack of armor is just an excuse.
At this time, Dong Zhuo occupied the armor arsenal of the Han Dynasty!
There are so many sealed armors in the armor of the Han Dynasty! It is not a problem to equip two or three hundred thousand people.
Under such circumstances, how could Dong Zhuo not be able to take out the equipment to equip his thousand soldiers and horses?
Liu Chengka came to do this at this point in time, on the one hand, he really needed to expand his soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, he did not test Dong Zhuo's attitude on this matter and what he thought of himself.
Dong Zhuo's attitude is here, in this situation, if he doesn't nod, Liu Chengcheng can't expand the soldiers.
But at this time, it has reached the end of October, and it is about to be November, according to the history he knows, Yuan Shao and other Kwantung coalition forces are about to start moving, it is really according to what Li Ru said, wait for another two months, and then start to expand their own soldiers and horses, it will be a little too late!
Without a certain amount of training, by that time, even if soldiers and horses can be summoned, they will not be able to form much combat effectiveness.
So I still have to find a way to let Dong Zhuo open this mouth and agree to expand the army by himself.
But his status is too low at this time, and just because Xiao Tianzi officially recognized himself as the emperor's uncle, Dong Zhuo has some mustard for himself, in such a situation, how easy is it to do this?
This little genius, as well as the group of ministers around him, can't they wait until they expand the army first and make a formal recognition of themselves?
Liu Cheng couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Thank you Xiangguo for your kindness, thank you Brother Wenyou for your special explanation, Kede is grateful.
In fact, Kede wants to expand the soldiers and horses, not for himself, but Kede feels that the world is not peaceful, the people of Kanto, although there are many of them have received the kindness of Xiangguo, but the heart is not towards Xiangguo, I think it won't take too long, Yuan Shao and others will raise troops, come to find trouble, I expand the army at this time, is to enhance the strength of Xiangguo, in the face of such a thing, Xiangguo has a greater chance of winning.
Since it is the shortage of armor and equipment, then I don't need these equipment for the first time, and first expand the source of 1,000 soldiers and train them.
In this way, it can also make them orderly and not fall apart.
Later, Xiangguo will equip these and equip these soldiers, and these newly expanded soldiers will immediately be able to have a certain combat effectiveness and will not miss the major affairs of Xiangguo. ”
Liu Cheng looked at Li Ru and said sincerely, he didn't say it was himself, but all of them were thinking about Dong Zhuo.
And by the way, he took advantage of Li Ru's speech.
Didn't you say that you didn't have any equipment, so you didn't agree to let me expand the army for the time being?
Then I don't want to equip it now, as long as I expand the army, the reasons given are still so full and legitimate, a heart for your father-in-law, see what you do!
When Li Ru heard Liu Cheng say this, he was a little stunned for a while, not only because of Liu Cheng's analysis of the situation in the Kanto region, but also because Liu Cheng's cards were not according to common sense.
In his previous expectation, as long as he told Liu Cheng such a thing, Liu Chengcheng would definitely do what he said, and he didn't say that he would not expand his army, but just asked him to wait for a while.
But he didn't think that he actually said such a thing and gave such a proposal, which made it difficult for Li Ru to do it at this time, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
"It's better to wait, there is no equipment, and the soldiers and horses are not considered soldiers and horses, there are a lot of them around Luoyang, and they can be recruited at any time, and Kede doesn't have to be in such a hurry......"
Li Ru thought for a while, looked at Liu Cheng with a smile, and said out loud.
On this matter, there is still no relent.
When Liu Cheng heard this, he changed color!
