Chapter 149: Departure
From Jiangzhou to Lingnan in the south, you can take the land route or the water route, this time Li Jing still chose to take the water route to Lingnan.
In the farewell of Jiangzhou officials, as well as the people, Li Jing boarded the dragon boat and set off for Lingnan!
……
On the Lingnan side, as soon as Yang Siqiao arrived, he immediately issued a conscription order to all parts of Lingnan, especially the local aborigines, and Yang Siqiao gave them ten days.
Within 10 days from the date of receiving the conscription order, they must rush to the designated recruitment place, and those who do not come beyond the time will be severely punished!
All the soldiers recruited this time must be strong and strong, and strong laborers with great strength will be given priority!
Whoever is admitted to the local aborigines will be rewarded by the imperial court, get rid of the slave status, enter the household registration of the local government, and become the glorious people of the Tang Dynasty!
There are those who are willing to respond to the call, and there are those who are unwilling to respond to the call, and even want to make trouble.
On behalf of the imperial court, Yang Siqiao recruited an army of 100,000, which was no problem, but most of them were local barbarian natives, especially the idea of hitting their slaves.
These barbarian leaders naturally won't agree, the bold barbarian leaders directly flip the table, and the timid ones hide behind to make a trick, in short, the early recruitment of soldiers is very unsmooth!
This provoked Yang Simiao, these barbarians and natives were so faceless, and it was not his Yang Simiao's face that was beaten, but the face of the court.
As a general sent by the saint to recruit troops, if he couldn't even settle this little thing, he would simply take off his belt and commit suicide!
The consequences of annoying Yang Siqiao are serious!
On the same day, Yang Siqiao took the recruited 10,000 soldiers and horses to the nearest village and personally taught the natives here what Tianwei is!
Within ten days, Yang Siqiao wandered around various cottages, using the means of grace and power to make these barbarians and natives succumb, and did not dare to complain.
Next, the speed of recruitment will be accelerated, and an army of 100,000 will be recruited in less than three days!
Yang Siqiao drilled the 100,000 army, and the content of the drill was very simple, that is, to look at the order flag and point to that and that, so that the order was forbidden, so that the advance would never retreat, and the left would never turn right!
"Chief, with the army composed of these barbarians and natives, can you really win the Linyi Kingdom?"
Li Duozuo looked at the barbarian army with a somewhat scattered formation, and was a little skeptical that these people could win against the soldiers of Lin Yi Kingdom, no matter how he looked at the army in front of him, it was like looking at a group of rabble!
With such a rabble, they also want to fight with real soldiers, and it's almost the same to send people to their heads!
Sure enough, the eunuch is unreliable, especially since he is still from an indigenous background, not only an indigenous, but also the son of a sinner, expecting this kind of person to fight, it is better to surrender directly!
Han Shizhong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he couldn't help such a situation, but Yang Siqiao patted his chest and promised that there was no problem, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that!
At the beginning, they tried their best to persuade the sage not to trust the eunuch too much, but the sage didn't believe it, and insisted on giving the eunuch the position of general and letting him come to Lingnan to recruit 100,000 troops!
"No matter what, he suppressed the natives of Lingnan and conscripted an army of 100,000!"
Lou Shide said a few words, but it doesn't mean that he will agree with Yang Siqiao, if you really have the ability, then take Lin Yi Kingdom, if you can't fight, what's the use of having more people?
Li Duozuo disdained after hearing this, isn't it just to pull up a team of 100,000 people, what's so rare, if he is allowed to come, he Li Duozuo can also pull up an army of 100,000!
Not to mention 100,000, even if it is an army of 200,000, Lingnan Road is so big, and the population of several million will not be less!
"What's the use of being able to suppress the barbarians? What we need is a powerful soldier, not a large rabble! ”
"Take these people to fight, is it to crusade against Lin Yi Country, or to send people to Lin Yi Country?"
Li Duozuo said disdainfully.
Han Shizhong waved his hand and stopped their quarrel, whether the specific 100,000 army is useless or not, there will be no answer just by lip service, it is better to pull it out and practice, don't you know the result!
It was just right to see how many catties and taels Yang Siqiao had, and he dared to boast about Haikou in front of the sage, if he didn't have half the ability, he didn't need the sage to speak, he Han Shizhong cut Yang Simiao first!
lest the eunuchs in the harem also act like Yang Siqiao, and they don't feel at ease to stay in the palace and serve their masters, so they have to run out to grab military merit from these generals!
"Go and call the vanguard general Yang Siqiao to the general manager of this university!"
Han Shizhong turned back to his own soldiers and said.
"No!"
The soldiers took the order and left.
Two minutes later, Yang Siqiao appeared in front of Han Shizhong, crossed his hands and saluted: "I've seen the chief manager!" I wonder what the chief governor commanded when he summoned the lowly to come? ”
"Now, you have recruited 100,000 troops, and you have been practicing here for three days, I wonder if these 100,000 troops can fight?"
Han Shizhong asked.
Now he has to check the combat strength of 100,000 barbarians, if not, he can change his strategy as soon as possible, and recruit officers and troops to come over to crusade against Linyi State, so as to minimize losses!
"Chief, this 100,000-strong army has been trained! You can go south to conquer the Linyi Kingdom at any time!"
Yang Simiao was full of confidence, he had long known that the chief and deputy chief managers of this crusade against Lin Yiguo didn't believe in his Yang Simiao's ability, and even looked at people through the cracks in the door - they looked down on people!
He wants to use this opportunity to show everyone whether he has the ability to erase Lin Yiguo who dared to offend the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Yiguo is the stepping stone for him Yang Siqiao to climb up, and it is the beginning of his Yang Siqiao's famous history!
All, this crusade against Lin Yi Kingdom, he can only succeed, not fail!
Han Shizhong was a little surprised when he heard it!
Yang Siqiao, a eunuch, really has such a great ability? Trained a strong army of 100,000 men in three days?
Han Shizhong doubted that Yang Siqiao would exaggerate, and reserved his opinion on Yang Siqiao's words!
"I can't see it, you are so confident, it's okay, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while! As a forward general, the general manager ordered you to take the lead, do you dare to take the military order!"
Han Shizhong looked at Yang Siqiao and said.
Yang Siqiao hurriedly knelt down on one knee, crossed his hands and saluted: "The lowly position is willing to receive the military order, if the first cut cannot be successful, please cut off the head of the lowly officer!"
"Good! Happy!"
Han Shizhong laughed when he heard this, and said, "Bring the wine!" ”
The soldiers received the order, brought a jar of wine, patted the mud, and poured a few bowls of wine.
Han Shizhong picked up one of the bowls, handed it to Yang Siqiao's hand, and said: "After drinking this bowl of Zhuangxing wine, the general manager of this university will practice it for you, and I wish you success in advance!" ”
"Thank you, Boss!"
Yang Siqiao drank all the wine in the bowl, and then slammed the bowl to the ground, shattering to pieces!
Regardless of whether Han Shizhong's words are sincere or hypocritical, he Yang Siqiao borrowed his auspicious words, and he will definitely be able to win!
"The chief of this great order you to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately set off to attack the Linyi country!"
Han Shizhong said.
"Humble orders, before going on the expedition, I hope the chief manager can agree to one thing from the humble position!"
Yang Siqiao crossed his hand.
"What's the matter? You can talk about it first, as long as it is not excessive, and it does not affect this operation, the general manager can rely on you!"
Han Shizhong is quite kind.
"I'm going to hand-pick 30,000 troops!"
Yang Siqiao directly asked for power, he wanted 30,000 elites, and the best 30,000 people, to be his vanguard army!
"No problem, the head of this university is in charge, you can pick 30,000 people yourself! But be quick, I'll give you an hour to pick someone!"
Han Shizhong nodded and agreed to Yang Siqiao's request!
"Thank you, Boss!"
Yang Siqiao crossed his hands in thanks and turned to leave.
"Boss, just let him go?"
Li Duozuo asked a lot, he felt that Han Shizhong, the chief manager, was too hasty!
Let Yang Siqiao go on the expedition, will it be too child's play, what if the 30,000 army in this battle has gone and has no return?
Li Duozuo guessed that Yang Siqiao personally selected to take away the 30,000 soldiers and horses that were the strongest in the army!
If the strongest 30,000 soldiers and horses are all broken, with the remaining 70,000 troops, there may not be a chance of victory!
"Isn't that great?"
Han Shizhong said with a smile!
Very good? Where's the good?
Li Duozuo was confused, he didn't understand the meaning of Han Shizhong's words, what was so good?
"The chief manager wants to use this expedition to test whether Yang Siqiao is lying? By the way, it can also weaken the strength of the barbarians, and the strongest warriors of the barbarian tribes will die in battle!"
"The rest of the gang has become a rabble, even if someone wants to betray the imperial court in the future, it can be easily resolved, which is good for the imperial court to manage Lingnan?"
Lou Shide seemed to have guessed Han Shizhong's thoughts, but he wasn't sure.
"I do have the idea of wanting to check Yang Siqiao, whether we win or lose this battle, it will not hurt us!"
"If this group of barbarians is brave and good at fighting, it will be a good thing for Datang to break through and destroy the Linyi Kingdom, even if Yang Siqiao is defeated, the loss is a group of barbarians, and for me Datang, there is no loss."
"If it fails, I hope that Yang Siqiao can have a defeat with the army of Lin Yi Kingdom, and when the time comes, we will lead the army to annihilate Lin Yi Kingdom in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be better!"
Han Shizhong said.
From the very beginning, he planned to use Yang Siqiao to drag down the Linyi Kingdom, and when the time was ripe, he would lead the army to set off and annihilate the Linyi Kingdom in one fell swoop.
No matter how fierce Yang Simiao fought in front of him, even if Yang Simiao could really hit the capital of Linyi and occupy the city, this final blow must be completed by them!
As long as you successfully conquer the Linyi Kingdom, capture the king of the Linyi Kingdom alive, dedicate it to the saints, and rescue the detained messenger by the way!
It's all in his plan, and now he just has to sit back and wait for the final result.
Wait for tomorrow to order the army to set off, follow behind Yang Simiao's army, and wait for Yang Simiao and Lin Yiguo to be defeated!
An hour passed, Yang Siqiao selected 30,000 elites to form a forward army, Yang Siqiao mobilized before the war to stimulate morale, then led this 30,000 forward army to set off, straight to Linyi country.
The 30,000 forward army entered the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, did not stop at all, and continued to march towards Linyi Kingdom!
