Chapter 57: The Hidden Dragon and the Crouching Tiger (1)
When the order was issued, Jiang Qi looked at the recruits who returned to the building in an orderly manner, and asked Guan Yu who returned to his side: "What is the quality of the recruits this time, can it be of great use?"
As soon as he heard Jiang Qi ask about the recruits, Guan Yudang said like a few family treasures: "Fourth brother, don't say it, although this expansion of the army has released the requirements in terms of the age and knowledge of the soldiers, but all the top ones recruited are good players, and many of them can also do some fist and foot kung fu, plus the more than 2,000 Guizi people who have been baptized by fire, and hundreds of sergeants at all levels who have been deployed to assist, they can become an army in three months at most, even if the combat effectiveness cannot catch up with today's soldiers, but it is definitely better than the elite of other big men."
Seeing the expression of the second brother, who has never been smiling, Jiang Qi naturally did not question it and said while stepping off the platform: "Three months is not necessary, as generals, we have to take responsibility for the soldiers under us, if we easily let the soldiers who have not formed the army go to the battlefield, it is a crime, after all, they are all raised by their parents, not to mention that now we also have this time to train soldiersγγγ"
After listening to Jiang Qi's words, Guan Yu remembered that all battalions had not prepared for war these days, and hurriedly accelerated his pace to block Jiang Qi's way, and said suspiciously: "Why is the fourth brother of our army going to stop fighting and recuperate, now our soldiers can capture the Xiongnu court in a month at most, is it a pity to stop the war at this time?"
"Haha, does the second brother still need to fight in the current situation? Besides, from the beginning, the Xiongnu was not our real target, and beating him was just to solve our worries," Jiang Qi smiled and patted Guan Yu's arm, and then said, "Sometimes it is not necessary to kill all the enemy troops to be considered victorious, and my brother personally attacked Qiuzi without finding out?" Besides, I'm afraid that even if we don't want to stop fighting, Wen Heng came to report that there was a group of Hun cavalry about 100 people who had gone south by night."
"Go southγγγ" Guan Yu frowned after listening to Jiang Qi's words, although Yan Liang's ** was built a little later than the rest of the cavalry, but the combat effectiveness was not bad at all, it was impossible to let go of the Huns, since these people were found and could still go south, it was only a point, that was the result of his brother's consent, and Guan Yu asked tentatively: "The fourth brother means to recover the Huns for my use"
Jiang Qi did not shy away from confirming the jaw, and continued with a smile: "The Huns are not comparable to the turtles, they are not only large in number but also complex in ethnic groups, if you want to recover them, you must remove all those restless shadows, these days our army slaughtered not all those tribes who resisted, although it is not my race, its heart must be different, but now our army is not strong, and it is the real royal road to raze and raze, and now the Huns ask the court for help, we can take the opportunity to officially incorporate, as for whether they will die or live in the future, it depends on their own creation." β
Guan Yu thought for a while and said: "Ohγγγγ so that's the case, how can we be sure that our army can completely control the remaining Huns, the war between our Han and the Huns has not stopped for hundreds of years, but there has never been a time when they can really master them, if they surrender on the surface now, then the battlefield rebellion will outweigh the losses."
Jiang Qi slightly nodded and agreed with Guan Yu's point of view and said: "Of course, no one dares to guarantee it, let alone this Huns, even if it is the current Qiuzi people or our soldiers, it is impossible to be completely loyal to us, but why no one has betrayed us now, it shows that the conditions we provide to these people are enough for them to be loyal to us, as for these Huns?" We don't have to worry about their loyalty, we just need to make a condition that they will be loyal to us."
Guan Yu was a little confused, and asked suspiciously: "Qiang Qu is a single Yu, what can he do to make him surrender to our army?"
The corners of Jiang Qi's mouth picked up a slightly evil spirit and said: "Of course there is, one, Qiangqu was originally helped up by my Han Court from the position of the Right Xian King, he definitely has a fear of Han Ting, two, also because his name is not right, so there are also tribes in the clan who do not obey him, after our army has been attacking this phenomenon for several days, this phenomenon must be better, if he Qiangqu is not stupid, he will definitely immediately attach to our army, the three, people are greedy, and now we add a big condition, and then the condition will be like a fragrant cake, Pull the Qiang Canal onto our army's chariot and keep it so that he willingly obeys the callγγγγγ"
Guan Yu looked at Jiang Qi's wicked smile and couldn't help but shiver, and thought in his heart, "Sometimes I have to say that the soft knife of the literati is much more fierce than the big knife in his hand, it is completely murderous without blood, and at the same time he is sad for poor Qiangqu, maybe it won't be long before he will finish his last journey in the big cake drawn by the fourth brother."
Seeing that Guan Yu didn't answer, Jiang Qi smiled awkwardly and also felt the discomfort of the atmosphere at the moment, as a martial artist, Jiang Qi also wanted to be a pure martial artist like the sixth brother Zhang Fei, only on the battlefield, the sword and gun were not ashamed to hurt people in the back, but as time went by, Jiang Qi also understood some things, no matter how high the martial arts of the Chu overlord was, he didn't lose to Han Xin, who even dared to bully the ruffian.
Soldier, sophistication, with the opening sentence of Sun Tzu's Art of War, may be the best interpretation, now seeing that the atmosphere is not right, Jiang Qi doesn't want to continue the topic just now, looked at the recruits who are resting and asked: "Didn't the second brother hear that there are a few masters in this recruit, and it's rare to have free today, and they are all from that battalion to take a look."
"The fourth brother will be well-informed when the message arrives" Guan Yu also woke up after being reminded, smiled embarrassedly in his heart, hurriedly followed the footsteps, and at the same time handed Jiang Qi a pot of water that he had just received from his own soldiers and said: "I originally planned to report to you a long time ago, but I didn't bother when I heard Wen Ruo say that you were busy with affairs, since the fourth brother asked, then you might as well meet some people today, if you get into the eyes of the fourth brother, you must be able to improve the morale of the army."
"Then let's talk about how many people there are, if they are really useful, you might as well come to the front today to promote how to γγγγ," Jiang Qi said.
Guan Yu's very approving jaw head continued: "This is very good, most of the soldiers who expanded this time are young and strong people who came in response to the order to kill Hu, and there are some rangers, and after these years of observation, there are four of them who are the most successful in martial arts."
Saying that, Guan Yu pointed to a man who was about seven feet five inches tall, too old and weak, with a strong body, and was leading a horse to drink water: "This person's surname is Li Mingdan, and he is a person from Jinyang, and he can't splash the water with a bright silver spear.
"Oh, there are such strange people, it seems that Qi is worth the trip" Jiang Qi couldn't help but light up after listening to the narration, if it is really as Guan Yu said, as long as he gets this person, then it doesn't matter if the new recruits are useless in this army expansion, as the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, and the person who can be on the same level as Zhang Feidou is also a fierce general.
However, Jiang Qi's happiness was only the beginning, and then Guan Yu pointed to a few people who were hugging swords under the pergola and said, "Those people are from Luoyang, and they are all rangers, a total of twenty-seven people."
Guan Yu said and pointed to one of the middle-aged men who were restrained and restrained, and said to the nine-foot tall ape arm bee waist: "This person's surname is Wang Mingyue, the master of these people, originally according to the standard of our army's recruitment of soldiers, the minimum eighteen and the maximum thirty, he has no chance to join the army, but that day, Brother Wei happened to see his apprentice making noise at the recruitment office, so he tried it and the result was γγγγγ."
Guan Yu smiled embarrassedly, and then pointed to the weak-crowned man beside Wang Yue who was holding the double sword and was only more than seven feet tall and looked a little thin: "The person who shot that day was the person who made the double sword, this person is called Shi A is the chief disciple of this Wang Yue, originally the brother saw that they should be able to use two punches and kicks to love talent, so he asked Zhou Cang to try it with him, but unexpectedly, it was γγγγ."
Without waiting for Guan Yu to finish speaking, Jiang Qi said: "Zhou Cang is not his opponentγγγγγ"
"At that time, Zhou Cang was also too big," Guan Yu smiled awkwardly, and glanced at Zhou Cang, who was guarding not far away.
"Zhou Cang didn't hold it up, even if he fought with all his strength for a maximum of twenty moves, he would die in the hands of this person" Jiang Qi didn't pay attention to Guan Yu's embarrassment, but instead stared at the group with blazing eyes and said.
Jiang Qi didn't pay attention to this remark, and Guan Yu's already red face was a little red, but Guan Yu didn't defend himself, but just looked at Jiang Qi who was thinking curiously, guessing in his heart what was wrong with his brother, such a sharp tone was not like his previous temper.
Jiang Qi didn't wait for Guan Yu to ask, Ren Ran stared at Wang Yue's two masters and apprentices who had already noticed his gaze with a cold light, and then said: "I know that this Zhou Cang martial arts are not under Yan Ming, but don't say Zhou Cang, this person may be able to fight with my brother."
After speaking, Jiang Qi looked at Guan Yu, who was unconvinced, and said in an accentuated tone: "As for his master, that is even more amazing." Even if it is Qi out of the full force, it is not necessarily his opponent, this look at the world can match the absolute few, although from the momentum of this person is no different from ordinary people, but for the martial artist to do this, is to return to the basics, this kind of momentum Qi only in the family teacher to see more"
"Fourth brother, you know them," Seeing Jiang Qi's serious words, Guan Yu couldn't help but be a little nervous, and his wrist unconsciously touched the hilt of the sword, a grandmaster with excellent martial arts can be willing to be a small soldier No matter from that point of view, it is impossible not to have some purpose.
Jiang Qi withdrew his gaze from the already alert Wang Yue's master and apprentice, and at this moment he had confirmed in his mind that these two were the two masters and apprentices who had broken through with him when he failed to assassinate Zhang Rang back then, and he broke through with him to have some intersections.
Seeing Guan Yu's curiosity, Jiang Qi did not hide it and said with a slight smile: "When I was studying art in the mountains, I heard that there are countless strange people and righteous people in this world, and two of them must be careful if we meet on the battlefield, one of them is Deng Zhan, who is known as the king of swords, and the other is Wang Yue, who is called the sword saint by others, this Wang Yue is a great character, at the age of nineteen, he broke into the Qiang tribe alone, and brought back the head of the enemy chieftain, Fight to Fame"
"Back then, it was my master who spoke of him and was amazed, before he joined the army, there was a chance encounter with him in Luoyang and had a short fight, he was the strongest opponent Qi has encountered since he came down the mountain, but I heard that he has been obsessed with fame in recent years, how did he come to this northwest army? And with his proud disciplesγγγγ"
