Volume 15 The Winner Is King Chapter 1209 The Tiger Borrows the Pig
What did Hu Wei sell before the scientific expedition? That was the answer to the scientific expedition. 1-As soon as Hu Wei's words came out, more than a dozen people suddenly became weak. Before, they weren't sure that the person in front of them was the one who sold them the answer. There's no need to guess now, that's him.
At this time, those who bought the answer to Hu Wei were divided into two groups. One group felt that they had missed it once and could not make a mistake the first time, in line with the principle of admitting their mistakes, they stood up for their husbands, while the other group had a fluke mentality, thinking that Hu Wei would definitely be able to remember them. The people who thought about it, after a struggle, stayed where they were.
Hu Wei glanced at the group of people, there was no joke, just stood quietly. Killing one is a crime, Tu Wan is a hero, Hu Wei has been fighting in the Tianfeng Continent for more than ten years, and he naturally has a domineering spirit. Where have these scholars ever seen this, they are all frightened.
Hu Wei stood without saying a word, and the students couldn't guess Hu Wei's thoughts, and they also stood there one by one. As the minutes ticked by, the sun rose and rose, turning from oblique to direct, hanging overhead like a huge fireball.
It's hot.
This is the feeling that all people feel.
Gradually, some people couldn't support it. Scholars, many of them don't do anything at home. Although it is not the kind that has no power to restrain the chicken, it is not much.
Two hours passed, and more than 100 people were helped out of the field by the soldiers. There will be a group of people from the east and a group from the west, and there will be more than 300 people left.
Ouyang Shuixian was there the whole time, looking at those students with big eyes from time to time, and then at Hu Wei who was standing there like an ice sculpture. I kept guessing the purpose of Hu Wei in my head. has been by Hu Wei's side for so long, and by this time, she has more or less guessed that Hu Wei is choosing someone.
However, what Hu Wei's standard is, Ouyang Narcissus is not clear at all. It is said that those students who buy the answers, even if they are admitted, should not be hired. Ouyang Shuixian found several people in the crowd who had bought test questions from him.
After another hour, the one who should have fallen was almost down, so Hu Wei waved his hand and called the soldier and asked the soldier to take the student to the barracks that had been arranged a long time ago to rest.
The students will all be confused, and seeing that Hu Wei has no meaning to explain, they don't dare to ask more. Looking at this result, I should have passed the test.
"I don't understand. Ouyang Shuixian snorted a little angrily. She and Hu Wei did not return to the Shuaifu, and stayed in the barracks for the time being tonight.
Hu Wei laughed and said, "What don't you understand?"
"Those students obviously got the answer in advance, why didn't you drive them away?" Ouyang Narcissus snorted.
"Why should I drive them away?"
"Because they don't cheat!"
"Hehe, cheating is also a kind of thing. A good official should have the ability to adapt to various situations. As the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of cheating, and you often ambush and sneak attack the enemy, do you also cheat when you fight?"
"That's the same!" Ouyang Narcissus was almost mad at Hu Wei. Fighting a war is a means of not doing it, as long as it can be won, no one will care about the process. In the past, there were some generals who gave people a war letter before the war, made an appointment with the time and place, and then fought. In Ouyang Shuixian's opinion, those were stupid.
Hu Wei smiled and said, "It's no difference. ā
"Isn't it worth it for those who didn't buy the answer?"
"Who told them not to buy. There was a great opportunity in front of them, and they didn't cherish who could be blamed. ā
"But some of them don't know you're selling answers!"
"Luck is sometimes an ability. ā
Hu Wei looked at the starry night sky and showed a faint smile. The reason why a person can succeed is that ability is the key, and luck is also the key. ...,
In the next few days, Hu Wei stayed in the barracks, using various methods to conduct various training for more than 300 students. When Hu Wei left the barracks, there were only 200 of the more than 300 students left. At this time, these two hundred people can no longer be called students, and they have all been promoted to junior civil officials of the Immortal Bird Legion.
Hu Wei's approach this time has caused a lot of controversy. As always, Hu Wei didn't pay any attention to the controversy, and still went his own way.
Many years later, when all these civil officials had grown up, people once again admired Hu Wei's foresight. But that's all for later, and now they're all just junior civil servants.
In July, the demons, who had been quiet for almost a year, finally made another move. This time they did not attack the Mandala Empire, but attacked the Chihe Empire in reverse.
Qin Ming also made moves at the same time, and his target was also the Chihe Empire. His style of play was very strange, on the one hand, he sent troops to the Chihe Empire, and on the other hand, he asked his partner Qin Shangyang to send troops from Cangwu to fight the rear of the Demon Clan. In other words, Qin Ming opened two fronts at the same time.
All kinds of military snowflakes continued to fill the desk, indicating that the quiet period of the Immortal Bird Legion was about to be broken.
At the military meeting, the generals quarreled. Someone mentioned that yƬ once again cooperated with Qin Ming to destroy the demon clan in one fell swoop. Some people think that at this time, we should stand still and reap the benefits of the fishermen. Some people even think that they should cooperate with the demons and destroy Qin Ming.
Each of them has its own arguments, and from a strategic point of view, these are all right, the difference is only in which one is more operational and which one is more beneficial to the legion.
At such a meeting, Hu Wei was dizzy after a few times. Then he asked, with the current combat strength of the Immortal Bird Legion, what can be used to fight others, and what is the most lacking in the legion?
What the Immortal Bird Legion lacks most now is war horses, and the whole army now has 500,000 people, but the war horses in their hands are only 20,000. The legion is now all infantry, and there is no problem in defending the city, but attacking will not work. The cavalry pounced, and you didn't even have a donkey on your side, so what to use to hedge against others.
As soon as Hu Wei finished speaking, he denied the external war situation and turned the direction of the army to internal things first. With such pressure, the Immortal Bird Legion was silent for more than two months.
On this day, Zhu Daneng found Hu Wei. He came back to deal with the issue of military rations, and by the way, he came to see Hu Wei. The matter of military rations did not need to be handled by Zhu Daneng personally, and the reason why he came was because he wanted to discuss something with Hu Wei.
"Young marshal, in my opinion, we might as well take advantage of the war between Qin Ming and the demon clan to clear out the bandits in the country. Zhu Daneng reminded Hu Wei. When Yang Lin's nest was suppressed, Zhu Daneng's Fifth and Seventh Divisions made small fortunes, which was the best reminder for him. The bandits have money in their hands, but the Immortal Bird Legion can't rob the people, but they can rob the bandits.
Hu Wei carefully considered Zhu Daneng's words, pondered for a long time, and said: "Since you want to fight bandits, you will not enter the next Northern Expedition." ā
"Northern Expedition?" Zhu Daneng's eyes lit up, and his years of experience told him that Hu Wei was ready to have a big one.
Hu Wei nodded. In fact, Hu Wei has been thinking about this for a while. In the past few months, he has been working hard to develop the economy, hoping to make the Legion strengthen the Legion in all aspects.
However, the country was shattered, and in addition to the force of the Immortal Bird Legion, there were many rebels in the Mandala Empire. Among them, there are those who really want to do something for the people, and some who want to make a fortune in the troubled times. The two forces of the Red Company Army and Yang Lin are among the representatives.
The entire Mandala Empire is already in shambles, and no matter how hard Hu Wei tries, the effect will not be great. It is good to recuperate, but in such a chaotic world, Hu Wei can't have too many things. ...,
Now that Qin Ming is fighting with the demons, he has given Hu Wei a chance. He decided to use the point of the Northern Expedition to wash the mandala from south to north and complete the unification of the mandala empire.
Due to his background, although Hu Wei already had a strong army in the Mandala Empire, he never thought of taking the initiative to unify the Mandala Empire. Over the years, Hu Wei has experienced a lot of wars, but strictly speaking, he has always focused on defense, and has never taken the initiative to provoke any large-scale wars, let alone led such wars.
He always felt that the war would hurt the people a lot, so he did everything he could, and he didn't fight if he could. For more than two months, Hu Wei has not done anything, just thinking about this series of problems.
Without a unified country, it is impossible for the common people to truly live a good life. The war must be fought, and it must be fought in a big way, and only after the chaos can there be great governance.
"Yes, it's the Northern Expedition!"
The Immortal Bird Legion, which had been quiet for a year, finally moved again. Hu Wei ordered Zhu Daneng and other chief generals of the five armies in the east, west, south, north and central of Ben to transfer 20,000 of the most elite soldiers from each army to form a 100,000 Northern Expeditionary Army, plus Hu You's personal guard battalion, the total number of Hu You's Northern Expeditionary Army this time was 100,000. One-fifth of the Immortal Bird Legion's combat power.
According to Hu You's plan, this time the Northern Expeditionary Army will be led by Hu Wei himself, starting from the imperial capital Dragon City, all the way to the north, and the final target is Langtian, who wants to snatch Langtian back from Qin Ming's hands.
What are all kinds of considerations, Hu Wei no longer thinks about so many things this time. The Immortal Bird Legion and Qin Ming will have a battle with the Demon Clan sooner or later, since they can't avoid it, why not take the initiative to embrace the war.
Let's fight, if you lose, it's a big deal to start all over again, and if you win Hu Wei, you can have a brand new Mandala Empire.
The three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The most expensive thing to fight a war is money, and you can't do anything without money. The common people of the Mandala Empire are really poor, and for more than a year, Huang Jinfeng has done his best, but he has not been able to get more money. 100,000 people went to war, and it was a waste of money. Although Hu Wei has decided to support the war by fighting, before the first battle, he has to get the marching money first.
"You don't have to have a headache with this, I'll figure it out. ā
Hu Wei threw a sentence to Huang Jinfeng, turned around and left the Shuai Mansion. The source of this money, Hu Wei has already thought about it. Zhao Xin and those people have been enjoying it for so many years, and it's time to vomit things out.
Hu Wei took a few followers and rushed to Zhao Xin's residence day and night.
The place where Zhao Xin lives is not so much a house as a castle, this old boy's home is built on the mountain, and the entire mountain is wrapped in his castle. The huge castle will not be crowded at all if it is inhabited by 18,000 people.
"Young marshal, you see that you will come as soon as you say, I am really not prepared at all. ā
Zhao Xin greeted Hu Wei from afar, and the old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Old General Zhao, don't come unharmed. Hu Wei laughed. Although they were partners, they often exchanged letters. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, they have also been missing for nearly half a year.
"It's okay, it's okay, this old bone can last a few years. The young marshal is please, please ...... inside."
"Old General Zhao, your castle is really eye-catching. "All the way in, Hu Wei is what to see and what to praise. The words of beauty are so full that they are about to overflow.
Zhao Xin was quite proud at first. Gradually, he felt that something was wrong. Hu Wei is not unseen in the world, although this castle is not badly built, it has not yet reached the top, Hu Wei doesn't need this.
How did he know that Hu Wei had already made up his mind before coming here and knocked Zhao Xin hard. Not only Zhao Xin, but also those who are about the same as Zhao Xin, Hu Wei has sent them letters before leaving the imperial capital, and they will come to Zhao Xin one after another these times. ...,
"Old General Zhao, you are really good here. Seriously, I'm a little bit reluctant to leave. Hu Wei bit the pig's feet in a big gulp, as if he had never seen pork in his life, and the muffled voice was squeezed out of his mouth, all with greasy strands.
"If the young marshal likes it, he can stay for a few more days. Zhao Xin said with a dry smile. I kept thinking about what Hu Wei was here for.
Soon, he didn't have to guess. Hu Wei directly told him the answer.
Hu Wei shook his head again and again and said, "No, no, how can I have time to stay here for a long time." I took the money and had to go. ā
Take the money, take what money?
Zhao Xin's head 'buzzed', he didn't remember when he owed Hu Wei money.
Hu Wei smiled: "Old General Zhao, you don't know yet, this time we are here to borrow money from you." ā
How fresh, don't you say where I know where to go.
Wait, borrowing money? Hu Wei is here to borrow money?
In these days, raising money can hurt feelings. Zhao Xin hesitated, and the little master asked, "Is the young marshal ready to borrow money?"
"Well, Old General Zhao is really old and strong, so easy to guess. I'm really embarrassed to say it, but I have a recent operation over there, this money, it's ......."
Hu Wei said a long paragraph, and the theme is one word - poverty. As for what he did, it was unclear what he was doing, and Zhao Xinhe didn't know what he was going to do.
Zhao Xin's splendid castle was gloomy. All the partners who received Hu's letter arrived. Looking at the long list of items listed by Hu Wei, these old generals who were majestic on the battlefield were almost bitter with their faces.
"Brother Zhao, look at this......" shaking the long slip, the general was about to cry.
Zhao Xin shook his head and said: "There are difficulties in the young marshal's army, he has opened his mouth, can we not borrow it." That's it. Let's all divide each of them, one for each person, and make up for the things for the young marshal. ā
"Brother Zhao, did you say that the young marshal would really pay it back?" the other general couldn't help but ask.
All eyes in the audience turned to him, and then all looked away. Such a question does not need to be answered, have you ever heard of a tiger borrowing a pig and returning it?
Coming out of Zhao Xin's castle, Hu was worried about that one by one. Why didn't I think of such a way a long time ago, otherwise I would have more partners, and it would have been like nothing.
When he came empty-handed, when he left, all kinds of food, gold, clothing, medicine...... Hu Wei is here to fight the autumn wind this time, he really sees what to take, what he wants, if it is not too heavy to pull, Hu Wei is afraid that he will have to tear down Zhao Xin's castle and pull it back.
"Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end. Generals, don't send it. Hu Wei laughed and bowed his hand to Zhao Xin's partners, turned over his horse, and led the team to stride away.
Finally sent this plague god away. Zhao Xin and the others glanced at each other, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he doesn't leave, who knows what he wants to borrow.
Before Hu Wei left Langtian, the troops of the Northern Expedition were already preparing. The preparations were in charge of Wang Yiwei, and this time Wang Yiwei would participate in the Northern Expedition as Hu Wei's lieutenant.
Hu Wei brought back a large amount of belongings, which was the last step in completing the preparations. didn't do any rituals such as sacrificing to the sky, Hu Wei left the imperial capital with 100,000 elite soldiers.
The imperial capital Dragon City is located in Zhongzhou, and Hu Wei's Northern Expedition began in Zhongzhou. After all, Zhongzhou is not far from the imperial capital, and the Yang Lin Department and the Red Border Army Department that have been entrenched in Zhongzhou have been eliminated separately earlier, and the bandit rebel army in Zhongzhou has little power. When Hu Wei left the imperial capital, he divided his troops into ten routes, fanned them like flowers, and comprehensively cleaned up the separatist forces in Zhongzhou.
The battle was not small, and it lasted for fifteen days, and all the rebels in Zhongzhou were wiped out by Hu Wei, and a large number of the various people's finances were recaptured.
I don't know who those bandits robbed, these finances have no owner, so naturally they all became Hu Wei's Northern Expedition military expenses. With this money to replenish the combat consumption on the spot, Hu Wei continued to wave his army north.
By this time, the rest of the people basically knew what Hu Wei was going to do.
The bandits have been wiped out, and the happiest are naturally the common people. And Zhao Xin's people, seeing that Hu Wei was trying to raise military expenses to fight bandits, the dissatisfaction in their hearts was also relieved. They also felt that there was light on their faces about Hu Wei's victory, although they did not directly send troops to participate, but they had money.
The most fearful ones are the bandits. Over the years, they have taken advantage of the troubled times to initiate, and their own strength is uneven. If you want to fight Hu Wei head-on, most of them don't have that ability. It seems that this bandit can't stand it anymore.
