Before sending troops, Liu Yuan officially proclaimed himself emperor, granted amnesty to prisoners in the territory, and changed the era name to Yongfeng.

Appointed the general Liu He as the great Sima, the king of Liang, Shangshu Ling Liu Huanhuan as the great Situ, the king of Chen Liu, the imperial historian Hu Yanyi as the great Sikong, the prince of Yanmen County, the clan with relatives as the rank of the county king, the different surnames with merit and strategy as the rank, all of them were named the county princes.

Don't say it, for example, Wang Mi became the general of Zhengdong, Zhao Gu became the general of Anbei, and Cao Wei became the general of Andong, but he was still restrained by Wang Mi.

Wang Sang also has the title of general, and Wang Zhang is more of Wang Mi's private general, responsible for the internal affairs of Wang Mi's army, and is not directly rewarded by Liu Yuan, a bit like my subordinates, not my subordinates.

And Liu Tai also received a title, infantry captain.

If it was really in the Han Dynasty, this infantry captain was still quite valuable, and he was one of the eight captains of the Gongwei Imperial Capital.

But now he is just an ordinary captain managing a seven-hundred-person establishment, but now Liu Tai's establishment is not yet full!

The only thing to be thankful for is that maybe he took refuge in Liu Yuan, at least the food is still in charge, but it is still two meals, and if you want to eat three meals, you still need to pay for it yourself.

In this regard, Liu Tai still has a long way to go if he wants to expand the army.

But compared to the one meal when he was a rogue, there was no one, which has reduced Liu Tai's pressure on food a lot.

With Liu Yuan's accession to the throne, Liu Yuan also immediately sent a mission to Wang Mi, asking Wang Mi to send troops to Yecheng with Shi Le.

"This is a war, huh?" Liu Tai was slightly surprised when he heard the order from Wang Zhang.

"Why, you want to continue living here?" Wang Zhang smiled when he heard Liu Tai's words.

Liu Tai shook his head and said, "I've been training for so long these days, and I'm going to test the water!" Who do we hit? ”

When Wang Zhang heard Liu Tai's words, he couldn't help but sigh that in the entire rebel army, whose army usually worked hardest and hardest, I am afraid that only Liu Tai is under his command.

If Liu Tai is now thirty years old, then maybe he can still mix in the Si'an position, but who made Liu Tai look thirteen or fourteen years old, but in fact he is not even thirteen years old, and a lieutenant position is enough.

Wang Zhang nodded and said, "If you can have this ambition, you will naturally be able to win, and we will prepare to go out of Taihang and destroy Ye City!" ”

"Yecheng......" Liu Tai nodded, "Got it, then I'll go back and prepare food!" ”

"Is there enough food?" Wang Zhang couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard Liu Tai's words.

"With your second uncle's care, the food is naturally enough!" Liu Tai said to Wang Zhang with a smile on his face.

"That's fine, this time we need to play some prestige, don't let Hu Er underestimate us!" Wang Zhang said.

Liu Tai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say much, and nodded heavily, indicating that he knew.

It is really not an easy task for this world army to be pulled out.

Although Liu Yuan had already given the order, the preparation time was also quite long, not to mention anything else, such as various equipment needed to be collected from the arsenal and then distributed to the soldiers below.

Naan cakes, suitable for long-distance marching, were made in the city as much as possible, and then taken by soldiers to eat on the road.

Especially the rich generals, basically they have to get a leather armor for themselves, at least to defend against arrows.

When Liu Tai returned to the army, the first thing he did was to make naan cakes.

Because the system in Liu Tai's army is to eat three meals a day, this is one of the foundations of Liu Tai's army, and it is also Liu Tai's welfare.

But with Wang Mi's reorganization of the army, Liu Tai was stationed in Zuoguocheng, but he was still able to eat three meals a day, so he regarded it as opening a small stove by himself.

But when I really marched, it became a little different from when I was a homeless person, basically eating according to the beat of the big army drum, even if I wanted to open a small stove, it was easy to say to one person, but it was unrealistic to want to open more than 400 people.

Therefore, Liu Tai needed to prepare more naan cakes for the soldiers to supplement the third meal during the daily march.

"In other words, there is a reason why the firehead army appeared, if you want the soldiers to eat the third meal, you need to cultivate your own firehead army!"

Liu Tai pressed his temple, but he didn't expect that the first problem he encountered was this!

However, it's good to find the problem, anyway, your own establishment has not been used up, even if you recruit some fireheads, there is also an establishment.

The real problem is that I plan to implement the three-meal system, and the rate of food consumption is much faster than the two-meal system.

Now that Wang Zhang is taking care of it, plus he sticks money into it, it's easy to say, but it's not easy to continue to increase the scale.

"Need to find a way to get some money!" Liu Tai frowned,

"Lao Tzu is a martial artist, why does the problem still need money in the final analysis?

Forget it, money is money, you have a knife in your hand, are you afraid that you can't think of a way to make money! ”

Liu Tai didn't bother about this matter anymore, just prepare honestly.

At least I can accumulate every bit of strength as much as possible, and go on steadily, for myself, it is always right.

In addition to preparing naan cakes, which are relatively storable grains, the more important thing is to distribute linen cloth to his subordinates one after another.

After all, don't say anything, you need to send troops to Yecheng, and you have to climb Taihang Mountain, and at this time, leggings can play a role.

And the linen cloth that Liu Tai bought first when he came to this city finally played a role.

Soon, the rebel army led by Wang Mi was the mainstay, and the army of the Qiang people led by Shi Le was supplemented by Yecheng.

The combat effectiveness of an army may need to be seen in a real fight, but the quality of an army can be reflected in the march.

The number of troops led by Liu Tai was small, but because they had specially trained the array, they gave people a sense of order when they marched.

Especially around the rebel army that Wang Mi has just purged, this gap gives people a strong contrast at a glance!

"General, I don't know who is leading the troops, but I have never seen such a capable military column!" Schlewd.

"It's the little nephew Liu Tai, who usually attaches the most importance to discipline, and has a lot of trained soldiers, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!"

Wang Mi proudly showed off to Shi Le, but on the surface he made a humble appearance.

Wang Mi naturally knew about Liu Tai, after all, the food that Wang Zhang secretly gave Liu Tai did not hide from Wang Mi.

Wang Mi naturally turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, after all, it is doubtful how strong the army trained by Liu Tai is, but at least it still looks very neat, and this is Liu Tai's ability.

At least in the eyes of both Wang Mi and Wang Zhang, Liu Tai may have been born to eat the food of the soldiers.

The most important thing is that Liu Tai's father is dead, and his uncle, who is an uncle, can be regarded as raising him to the age of twelve, not to mention being his father now, it's no problem to be his father-in-law!

"There are heroes like generals, and my nephew is also a hero in the army, this crusade against Yecheng, I am even more sure!"

Shi Le continued to compliment Wang Mi, without the slightest concern that he was subservient to Wang Mi.

Last year, Shi Le was also in charge of the conquest of Changshan, but he met Wang Jun and was broken by Wang Jun.

In this way, this time Shi Le did not become the commander, but became Wang Mi, the deputy of the general of the Eastern Expedition.

But this Shile not only did not feel half ashamed, but was very flattering and flattering to Wang Mi.

The two continued to discuss the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and Shi Le left very obediently to deal with the affairs of the army.

"Brother has discussed it with the general of the Qiang tribe?" When Wang Zhang came back, he saw Shi Le leaving, "Can he still cooperate?" ”

"The Hu general of the Qiang clan naturally knows the situation!" Wang Mi nodded and said, "It's a person who knows the times!" ”

The two of them have also investigated the Shi Le beside them, he was born in the Qian tribe, and he is only a branch of the Xiongnu, at least the Xiongnu only use them as ordinary miscellaneous hus.

It's just that this person named Shi Le can be a man and can do things, although his background is not very high, but in the end he slowly climbed to the general of Zhengdong.

However, when he conquered Changshan last year, he met Wang Jun, and most of the capital he had finally accumulated was knocked out.

It is precisely in this way that he has become the deputy of himself and others, but he also has the right to independently dispatch the warriors of the Qiang tribe.

Both of them looked down on the Hu people, or in other words, although the Han Dynasty collapsed and the Jin Dynasty was established, the Han nation's courage to suppress the Quartet and not subordinate to the Han nation is almost inherent in the bones.

They recognized Liu Yuan, and they recognized the emperor who had been sinicized, not Shan Yu of the Xiongnu.

In this regard, whether it is Wang Mi or Wang Zhang, it is really difficult to respect the Hu people.

In fact, this is not only Wang Mi and Wang Zhang, in fact, the attitude of the entire Jin court towards foreign people, the vast majority of them are like this, they really look down on all non-Han Hu people from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that they are just miscellaneous Hu.

Logically speaking, Liu Yuan had entrenched himself in Pingyang and occupied Taihang Mountain, and the strategic pressure on the entire Jin Dynasty was significant.

Almost every time Liu Yuan Chen soldiers the Yellow River and suppressed Luoyang, Luoyang felt a deadly threat.

But even so, the Sima clan in Luoyang, who took Liu Yuan to heart, they were still fighting for power.

And even Liu Yuan may not be able to enter their eyes, let alone Shi Le, who is still Liu Yuan's subordinate.

Who is this man? Oh! I remember, I was beaten by Wang Jun Gou Xi in turn, but he was a thief who was very good at running!

"Let's not mention this person first, but why did you come here at this time?" Wang Mi couldn't help but ask curiously.

Wang Zhang said, "Corporal Tai'er's troops have crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains in order, and they are not tired, aren't you curious?" ”

"Oh? What's so important about this? When Wang Mi heard Wang Zhang's words, he was a little curious.

Wang Zhang's expression was serious, because this discovery was very important to the military.

He made leggings out of sackcloth.

Originally, it was only because he wanted to climb Taihang, so he ordered his soldiers to tie their legs with sackcloth to avoid the nuisance of grass, trees, insects and ants.

After tying up for a long time, he found that after tying these leggings, he was not afraid of fatigue after a long march.

So they reported it to me right away! ”

"This legging still has such an effect!" Wang Mi heard Wang Zhang's words, nodded and said,

"The military equipment recorded in the family has a similar style.

You write down this matter first, and wait until Yecheng is conquered, and Mabu will be the first to get supplies! ”

To be honest, if you only prevent the nuisance of grass, trees, insects and ants, this kind of thing is a bit too luxurious for Wang Mi to give the whole army uniform.

After all, for Wang Mi, who started from the rebel army and was born in a warrior clan himself, he may not be able to take the lives of the soldiers in his eyes, let alone just make the soldiers feel better when they march.

But when something like leggings can relieve the fatigue of the soldiers and even make their daily march faster, for Wang Mi, this is not a comfortable device for the soldiers, but a tool that can improve the march, which is different.

"In this case, my brother wants to reward Tai'er!" Wang Zhang saw Wang Mi accept this thing, but he decisively recommended it.

"This is a marching battle, even if Tai'er finds out that this thing is meritorious, it is impossible to reward him if he doesn't need it now!" Wang Mi shook his head when he heard Wang Zhang's words.

"Isn't our army all climbing Taihang Mountain, since Tai'er's army is running fast, let him go to Lin to worry about disturbing one or two!" Wang Zhang said calmly, "More or less spy on how many troops the Jin army has arranged in Lin Xi, and we can also attack the city!" ”

Because Liu Yuan used Taihang Mountain as his barrier and came and went freely, the Jin army would more or less garrison the position of Taihang Bacheng.

Wang Zhang didn't think that Liu Tai would be able to win Lin Ji, but after all, the vanguard was relatively easy to make meritorious contributions.

So give his nephew a chance, even if it fails, it can be said that Liu Tai's purpose is just to disturb Lin Wei and collect information.

After all, Liu Tai only commanded more than 400 soldiers, so it was normal that he couldn't take Lin Wei!

Wang Mi couldn't help but ponder for a moment when he heard this, and finally nodded, "Let Tai'er give it a try!" ”

Wang Zhang nodded and didn't say much, and decisively began to go through the procedure.

Although only a corps-captain with a command of 500 men was sent out, to a certain extent, it still robbed part of the task of the vanguard.

But whoever let Liu Tai's army get the leggings, the speed of other armies marching in this mountain area is slower than Liu Tai's, so in the case of the speed of the soldiers, it is a matter of course to let Liu Tai lead his subordinates to take the first step.

At this point, at least under Wang Mi's prestige, it is enough to leave others speechless.

Of course, Liu Tai's leggings plus Wang Zhang's strong recommendation, plus Liu Tai's own number is not much, so it just gave Liu Tai such an opportunity.

At least after the army arrives at Lin Xi, if Liu Tai doesn't use these more than 400 people to take Lin Wei, then Liu Tai wants to lead the troops independently, I'm afraid he will have to wait for the next opportunity.

This is where people with backgrounds are different from different people.

Because of the backing of Wang Mi and Wang Zhang, it doesn't matter if Liu Tai loses one or two opportunities, as long as he continues to support the two, there will always be opportunities.

But for some truly self-made people, a failure is a lifetime of waste.

However, although Liu Tai has the capital to fail, for Liu Tai, who wants to accumulate strength and the most important thing is to make money, he must firmly seize every opportunity he has and continue to strengthen himself!
