Koto's reply was not long in coming.

More than 20 carts of gold and silver goods were delivered, and Li Yue was officially canonized as the king of Liang, and the envoys sent were also polite, and they sang praises as soon as they came, and their mouths were as sweet as if they had been smeared with honey.

Also coming was Li Ju's second son, Li Chong.

Li Yue is also the first time to see his brother in blood, not to mention, his appearance is indeed somewhat similar.

However, some wooden and dull, submissive, with inexplicable panic in their eyes, they are not very old, but their faces are quite rough, their wrinkles are like ravines, and their official robes do not fit, and they don't seem to be doing well in the south.

According to the rules of the south, except for the strong and powerful scholars, ordinary people basically cannot be counted as people, especially the men from the north to the south......

"Therefore, Li Gong, the general of Anxi, was loyal to the imperial court, defeated Liu Chang, Liu Cong, Shi Le and other armies, and held the Central Plains for 14 years, and the imperial court has been crowned as Sikong." Jiangdong envoy Dai Shi said respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Yue arched his hand towards the south.

Dai Shi's eyes flashed, "Wang Xie Zhugong knows that His Royal Highness is loyal to the imperial court, and asks His Highness to return it...... The jade seal of the country. ”

Jiangdong's obsession with jade seals is really deep.

No wonder he was so polite to himself, it turned out that it was still for this thing.

Li Yue's legitimacy is not much, and the jade seal is precisely one of the sources of orthodoxy, and in the future, Liang Guo can make a big fuss about this thing, and naturally it is impossible to give it to Jiangdong in vain.

"We'll talk about it later." Li Yue directly refused.

"Since the jade seal is a thing of the imperial court, it is useless for King Liang to keep it, so it should be returned to the imperial court." Li Chong turned his elbow outward.

Li Yue looked at his brother, "Who taught this?" ”

Li Chong's face turned pale for a while, and he couldn't help but look at Dai Shi next to him.

Dai Shi bowed his hand, "Since His Highness said that we will talk about it another day, then another day, Shi will return to health." ”

"Your Excellency, please." Li Yue is very busy now, and he has no time to be wronged.

Respecting the Jin family is just a gesture, not really to bow down.

"Why don't you stay in the Central Plains? I will also reunite you and my brother. Li Yue looked at Li Chongdao.

With his current identity and strength, it should not be a big problem to ask for people from Jiangdong.

It doesn't make much sense for Koto to keep them.

Li Chong originally followed Dai Shi to retreat, but when he heard this, he was suddenly shocked, stunned in place, and didn't know what to do, and only after a long time did he say: "The land, the crops in the field...... When it is ripe, it must be rushed back to harvest and harvest. ”

He has been living in Jiangdong for more than 20 years and has long been accustomed to today's life.

"Understood." Li Yue did not force him to stay.

Staying in Koto is not necessarily a bad thing.

Although Jiangdong is sparse, it is not enough to kill him as an honest man.

"How's the eldest brother doing?"

After Bo Wu's death, Li Yue valued his family even more, and even Li Du, who pretended to be his own clan, was named Zhao County Taishou.

"My brother went nine years ago, my two daughters married into a big family, and my three children also married wives and started families, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it." Talking about his family, Li Chong spoke much more fluently.

Li Yue suddenly understood why so many people ran to Jiangdong.

The north kills and kills every day, and it is miserable, even if you want to be a slave and steal a living, you may not be able to do it, and if you go to Jiangdong, at least you can survive.

Wang Xie Xunyin is a mess militarily, but governing the country is not useless.

gave up the north, but in the south of the heart, the development of Lingnan, a lot of barren land into counties, for the Chinese to retain an incense.

"Take care, brother." Li Yue didn't say anything more, everyone has their own ambitions, but in his heart he admired Li Chong's non-clinging character.

Li Chong arched his hand, turned around and left.

After a day of rest, he began to reward meritorious soldiers.

The elite is tempered by bloody battles, and after this battle, many recruits have adapted to the tragic battlefield and become veterans.

There are more and more soldiers who have been named Black Cloud Generals, and there are as many as 2,500,000 people before and after.

The Black Cloud General is not an officer, but the backbone and reserve of the army, and they have been at the forefront of all major wars, and they can be regarded as the core combat force of the Black Cloud Army.

In all the major wars, they rushed to the front line, forgetting their lives and forgetting death, thus inspiring the bloody battle of Paoze.

There are more than 110,000 people in the Black Cloud Army, and there are more than 2,000 people.

They were poor and could not give them anything good.

Now that the situation has improved, Li Yueren has created a special armor on the basis of Mingguang armor, black and red, and a face armor, focusing on a powerful and hideous.

Of course, more than 2,500 sets can't do the refinement of Mingguang armor, but it is much stronger than the traditional two-crotch armor and sleeve armor.

Fifty paces away, an ordinary bow and arrow could not hurt him in the slightest.

Within fifty paces, the damage dealt by the bow and arrow is also limited.

The only thing that is difficult to prevent is Jiangdong's crossbow, and Huan Wen used this thing to seriously injure Fu Xiong and Fu Chang one after another, which shows how powerful it is.

In history, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty's Moon Formation also used crossbows as the main lethal weapon.

However, Li Yue didn't want to fight Jiangdong for the time being, the main enemies were still Murong, Tuoba and other Xianbei people, and they couldn't make a crossbow.

Shanyang Tiefang is also imitating the crossbow, but the power is much worse than that of Jiangdong, and it is still being improved.

More than 700 new black clouds will put on armor and stand in front of them, like 700 iron beasts, adding to their evil spirit.

Li Yue handed them the special lance and knife one by one, and asked them how their families were doing, whether they had married wives and had children, and whether they had been assigned to the fields......

"The subordinates are alone, and they have not yet married." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy squirmed.

"How can you not marry and have children? After two months of rest, Lone personally spoke for you. Li Yue looks like a parent of an arranged marriage, and if he doesn't want a woman at this age, the problem is bigger......

There are many yellow flower girls in Yecheng, and there are all kinds of them.

And the Black Cloud Army is fragrant and sweet, with a bright future, and large families are eager to follow it.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The dark clouds of youth raised a warm color in his eyes.

Li Yue not only told the Black Cloud General that ordinary soldiers who did not have a family were handed over to the Ministry of War.

After rewarding the Black Cloud General, Li Yue thought about building an elite foot pawn.

The horses raised in the Central Plains are too far from the grassland, and it takes decades to breed horse breeds.

Another problem with the cavalry is that the war horse is too delicate, it needs to be carefully fed and carefully cared for, as long as it is lame, the war horse will be wasted, and a big battle, regardless of victory or defeat, can kill and wound thousands of heads casually.

Today's Liang State does not have the national strength to maintain a huge cavalry, and the whole army has 17,000 cavalry and 47,000 war horses, and it will be a little difficult to do more.

At this stage, the cost performance of the development step is much higher.

One cavalryman is equal to five foot soldiers.

In several battles, Li Yue gradually discovered a problem, the real decisive battle is still the infantry army, no one will let the cavalry attack the infantry army head-on as soon as they come up, that is no different from looking for death.

Many times it is a cavalry assault force, and once it faces elite infantry, it does not have much advantage.

In the future wars, siege warfare will be the main battle, and the role of foot soldiers will obviously be greater than that of cavalry.
