The commander of the Shence Army seems to be in a high position, but in fact, the Shence Army at this time has no combat effectiveness at all.

Moreover, when Li Yunze recruited troops before, he stuffed all the recruits into the Shence Army.

After Tian Lingzi and the others fled, no one could affect his control over the Shence Army.

As for Jing Zhaoyin, Chang'an City is under his control, and Jing Zhaoyin is nothing.

There is no title or knighthood, and there is not even a certain festival envoy.

Li Yi and Tian Lingzi are purely using Li Yunze as a day job.

It's okay to work part-time, but it's not okay if you don't get paid for your part-time job.

You don't see, there are so many part-time warriors in Datang, who dares not to pay them wages and ask for nothing, they are directly doing the opposite.

Li Yunze was noncommittal about this, since Li Yi didn't dare to come back, then his purpose of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes could only continue to postpone... Or rather, we have to change direction.

"Prime Minister." Li Yunze asked, "What are the imperial soldiers and horses near Chang'an City?" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xian, as the prime minister, is naturally very clear.

"There are many soldiers and horses around Chang'an City, including Cheng Zongchu's department of Jingyuan Jiedu, Tang Hongfu's department of Shuofang Jiedu, Wang's storage department of Yiwu Army's Jiedu, and Wang Chongrong's department of Hezhong Jiedu... In addition, there are tens of thousands of autumn soldiers in Jing, Long, Ling, and Ning prefectures..."

The envoys of these festivals mentioned by Lu Xian were all more loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

However, no matter how loyal they are, they are also temperate envoys, and they can also rely on the opinions of the warriors under their command.

When the imperial court can't get enough benefits, don't expect them to be able to die hard.

What's more, people such as Wang Chongrong, the envoy of the Hezhong Festival, have already surrendered to Huangchao in name.

As for the anti-autumn soldiers, they are indeed elites, and they are all used to fight against the Tubo army, and they are drawn from various feudal towns from 1,000 to 3,000 or 4,000.

For example, Li Yunze's Boye Army at this time is the anti-autumn soldiers.

But these autumn guards are essentially border guards, and taking them away means letting the Tubo people go down the mountain to plunder the pass, and send millions of living beings to the Tubo to ravage.

Compared to the destructive power of Tibet, Huang Chao is a small role.

Even Li Yunze didn't want to move these soldiers and horses.

Where to find elite soldiers has become the focus of Li Yunze's concern at this time.

Looking at the thoughtful Li Yunze, Lu Xian stroked his beard with a smile, ready to mention something later.

He had long known that the person in front of him was a black household, after all, he knew all the commanders of the Shence Army, and there was absolutely no such person.

But as long as it's not Huangchao's thief army, there are countless careerists who want to take advantage of the situation in this troubled world, and one more Li Yunze is nothing.

As long as Chang'an City can be defended, a festival is inevitable.

And he himself is surnamed Li, and he even gave his surname to the province.

Sure enough, Li Yunze, who had been thinking for a while, looked at the Tongzhong Shumen of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the prime minister.

"Did the prime minister teach me?"

Lu Xian stroked his beard and smiled, "Commander, there are many officials and soldiers around Chang'an City, but it is not easy to get them to help..."

】

"We don't need them to help." Li Yunze simply waved his hand: "The generals only need their soldiers." ”

Yes, this is a blatant attempt to annex others.

Lu Xian is not surprised, the warriors of this year are all like this.

"As long as there is enough money and food, there is basically no one who can't be pulled away." Lu Xian nodded again, "But if you want to say that the most suitable time is to be the department of Xia Suiyinjie, Zhuge Shuang." ”

As soon as he heard Xia Suiyin's envoy, Li Yunze understood what Lu Xi meant.

Xia Suiyin refers to Xiazhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou and other places, that is, the land of Western Xia in the Song Dynasty.

Compared to the various places in Kanzhong and Kanto, it is a proper and poor place.

Poverty means lack of money, and lack of money means that it is easy to win over soldiers as long as you get enough benefits.

Moreover, since ancient times, strong soldiers have been sent out from poor places, and the warriors in Xia Suiyin are not weak in combat effectiveness at all.

As for Zhuge Shuang, he is a typical contemporary festival envoy.

At the beginning, he followed the rebel Pang Xun to rebel, and after Pang Xun was defeated, he turned around and took refuge in the imperial court, and after some time in history, he would be persuaded by Zhu Wen to surrender to Huangchao again, and when Huangchao was destroyed, he turned around and returned to the imperial court.

A typical three-surnamed slave with milk is a mother.

At this time, the soldiers and horses of Xia Suiyin led by Zhuge Shuang had already arrived at Liyang, which was not far from Chang'an City.

Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction, selected a group of soldiers and horses to guard a large number of goods, and took the initiative to go out of the city to Liyang to recruit troops while the Huangchao Army's advance had retreated and had not yet besieged the city.

Looking at Li Yunze's distant back, Lu Xian was very satisfied.

It's too difficult for civil officials in this world to survive, there are feudal towns outside, eunuchs inside, and a sand withering emperor!

He can see that if the powerless civil officials want to do things, or if they want to live peacefully, they must master force, and if they can't control it, they must win over an ally who can master force.

Lu Xi felt that Li Yunze was a very suitable collaborator, and according to the rules of these gate valve families, they would normally get married.

It's a pity that the Lu family doesn't have a suitable unmarried woman of the right age in Chang'an City at this time, and this level of cooperation is naturally impossible to find someone to impostor, which will cause extremely serious consequences.

After thinking about it, Lu Xian decided to choose a beautiful but not so smart one from the familiar families first, and first appease Li Yunze's young and strong body.

When the siege of Chang'an City is lifted, select a suitable daughter of the Lu family from the entire Fanyang Lu family to marry her as a wife.

If Li Yunze can be used as foreign aid, then the Lu family can really protect themselves.

Lu Xian began to seriously consider which of the familiar families had a woman who was both beautiful and stupid.

Beauty is a must, and sending an ugly girl is not a marriage, it is a revenge.

Stupidity is also necessary, if you are not stupid, you will want to be on the throne, Lu Xian doesn't want to make wedding clothes for others.

After thinking for a while, Lu Xian clapped his hands vigorously, "The third daughter of Wang Xiang's family seems to be called Bao Chuan." I heard that the flowers are beautiful and the moon is beautiful, but I fantasize all day long about marrying a wishful man who has both talent and virtue... In these years, there is no one who has both talent and morality, either a waste or a bad guy. Definitely a fool, that's her. ”

Li Yunze's side didn't know that Lu Xian, as the prime minister, was actually busy looking for Wang Baochuan to give him a warm quilt.

He took dozens of carts with soldiers and horses, and hurried to Liyang.

Xia Suiyin's number of soldiers and horses is not large, but there are a lot of cavalry.

They received an order from the imperial court to rescue Chang'an City, and sent troops from all over the country to Chang'an City to reinforce it, because the time to arrive in Liyang was also different because of the difference between riding horses and walking and the station.

At least when Li Yunze came over, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses who arrived here in the early stage.

Seeing Li Yunze's soldiers and horses coming, this side reacted quickly, and prepared for war at any time.

In these years, the warriors of the Tang Dynasty were like this, whether you were from the imperial court or a thief, or from various feudal towns, as long as it was not the headquarters of the army, they were all treated as enemy first.

Looking at the elite soldiers and horses opposite, Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction.

This is called a martial artist, and the newly recruited rookies in Chang'an City are all fancy shelfs who shout slogans.

"Everyone!"

Li Yunze, who was holding an iron horn, immediately stepped forward: "This general is the commander of the Shence Army, Jingzhao Yin and Li Yunze are also!" Now the thieves have entered the Kou Pass and are wreaking havoc..."

After a series of nonsense about occupying the moral high ground, Li Yunze turned to the topic.

"Ben will do things fairly, and the rewards and punishments will be clear. These soldiers of the Boye Army and the Fengxiang Army can testify to this. ”

At his signal, the sergeants opened the boxes on the carriage one by one, revealing the contents full of copper coins and goods.

"Ben will come today, and Tezhaoer will be under the command of Ben General. If there is a servant, the stomach will be filled with money as the rewry, and then the treatment will be subject to the Shence Army. If there is a deduction in arrears, you can go to it! ”

Normally, it won't go by itself.,The basic operation is to kill the knots so that you can change the one that can make money and send money.。

If it doesn't work, then kill the knots again and continue to change.

Therefore, here in Datang, being a festival envoy is also a very high-risk position.

After Xia Suiyin's soldiers and horses on the opposite side saw so much money, their first reaction was to eat black.

Of course, it must be said to the outside world that these guys are thieves.

It's just that after weighing the strength of both sides, this idea was dispelled.

In terms of numbers, there are more people on Xia Suiyin's side, and there are only more than 1,000 people on Li Yunze's side.

But in terms of equipment, Li Yunze's side is stronger, not only does everyone have a full set of armor stomachs, but even the horses are neatly draped, compared to Xia Suiyin's side, it is much shabby. The cavalry was mostly leather armor, and there were few horse armor and other things.

And they are both elites, and if they can win in a fight, it will be a miserable victory.

A crushing victory means a huge loss, and no one wants to trade their lives for someone else's great wealth.

So soon someone rode out, came to the cart, took off the helmet, and dug up the copper coin of the helmet.

Someone took the lead, and more and more Xia Suiyin soldiers drove over, and they all gathered around the big box to withdraw money.

Li Yunze motioned to the accompanying auxiliaries to start a fire.

In the winter, a large pot of fragrant meat porridge is no less attractive to Xia Suiyin's soldiers than copper coins.

When Li Yunze announced loudly, "As long as you follow me in the future, you will have meat to eat every day." Those sergeants Xia Suiyin, who had surrendered, finally cheered for him for the first time.

In the end, hundreds of sergeants of Xia Suiyin, who did not come, all leaned over under the sincere call of their companions, or in the pleasant sound of the smell of meat porridge and the collision of copper coins.

Eating meat is not difficult for Li Yunze at all, and he has a lot of canned food.

Not only that, Li Yunze also brought drinks from Chang'an City and distributed them to everyone on the spot.

Speaking of wine, the mainstream of wine in China since ancient times is actually rice wine, the kind with a low degree, so there are so many people who claim to be not drunk with a thousand cups.

As for the so-called high-count liquor in later generations, they are actually imported products, which belong to industrial products and are not suitable for the stomach of Chinese people.

Food products and chemical products, of course, are different.

Li Yunze never drinks high-count liquor.

After taking the first batch of sergeant Xia Suiyin, the rest of the matter will be easier to handle.

When the group of Xia Suiyin sergeants who came to Liyang came to Liyang, the meat-scented wine cash box, plus the calls of their companions, basically leaned over without hesitation.

If it weren't for the news that Huang Chao's main army was approaching Chang'an City, Li Yunze would have been able to pull all Zhuge Shuang's Xia Suiyin soldiers away.

Of course, Li Yunze, a general above the team, will not accept it.

The generals have a great influence in the army, and Li Yunze does not want the soldiers and horses under his command to be pulled away.

He did not embarrass these people, and each of them was given a box of copper coins, and did not let them go until it was time to leave. As for the replacement, he was directly promoted from among the sergeants of Xia Suiyin, and the sergeants naturally did not make a noise because of this.

When Zhuge Shuang finally arrived in Liyang, he was stunned to find that the army under his command was actually only a group of generals and commanders.

He trembled with anger.

"Where's my soldier?!"
