Jingzhou, Nanyang County, Xinye County. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Xinye is small and not densely populated, but it is an important military point. Here is connected to Wan and Luo in the north, and Jing and Xiang in the south, which is the throat of Jingzhou.

Since arriving here, Tarzan's entire attention has been spent on recruiting troops. At the same time, Taishan was also carefully pondering some of the rules of Yuan Qi's career in Nanyang, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt. In the short time that Yuan Qi was in Nanyang, in addition to leading the army to crusade against the remnants of the Red Turban who were guarding Wancheng, it was to clear the nearby mountain bandits and bandits, and there was almost no time to rectify the armament, but those horse sabers that later threatened the world were armed to the soldiers under his command during the period when Yuan Qi was appointed as Nanyang Taishou, so the question arises, where did the weapons used by the elite under Yuan Qi's command come from?

Anything can't help but be scrutinized by people with a heart. Taishan was suppressed by Yuan Qi for a long time and couldn't raise his head, he had long held a breath of resentment in his heart, looking for Yuan Qi's flaws all the time, but the flaws were not found, but Taishan found another secret in Yuan Qi's heart.

After spending nearly a year collecting and analyzing Yuan Qi's whereabouts during his tenure in Nanyang, Taishan actually relied on his own scheming and found the secret treasure that Yuan Qi had entered at the beginning. At the beginning, the strength under Yuan Qi's command was not as strong as it is now, so he did not have the ability to transport all the things in the secret treasure at once, but only two-thirds of them. Now, Tarzan has discovered the remaining third.

Although it is only one-third, it still makes Tarzan smile. Among the remaining treasures, Tarzan found a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, and weapons, including several broken horse swords and Rahu dragon horn spears. The remaining money could help Tarzan to recruit more troops and expand his power, and those weapons could be equipped with just enough to equip his army. saved a lot of military spending for Mount Tai. At the same time, Taishan also funded the craftsmen to restore the broken and abandoned horse chopping knife, imitated five hundred horse chopping knives, and equipped them into their own white Yu elite soldiers, as for the dragon horn gun, but was ignored by Taishan, because this kind of complex shape, heavy weight of the weapon, is really not suitable for ordinary people to use.

When five hundred white soldiers appeared in front of Taishan's eyes wearing fish-scale iron armor and holding swords, Taishan's eyes couldn't help but flash. Such an image. Isn't it the appearance of the terrifying Tiangui Army under Yuan Qi's command in the early days? It was not only Taishan who saw this, but Guan Wei and Zhang Wu also saw it. The three of them have had contact with Yuan Qi, especially Guan Wei and Zhang Wu, because they have a good personal relationship with Yuan Qi. knew a lot about the Tiangui Army under Yuan Qi's subordinates, and the two of them only glanced at it. It was decided. This is the costume of the first batch of Tiangui Army, which was still called Tiangui Camp at that time.

Zhang Wu's old subordinates were originally a team of cavalry given to Zhang Wu by Yuan Qi, and those hairy boys back then have long grown up now, and many of them have also served as cavalry governors or higher positions. Although it has been nearly ten years since he left Youzhou, in the hearts of these people, there is still the figure of Yuan Qi. So far, he refuses to call Taishan the main prince, but is called a general. When these people saw the outfit of the elite soldiers, they turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee facing the north, their faces were covered with tears, and many people wept and said with emotion: "Heaven returns! This is heaven returns! Lord, are you okay......

The reaction of these cavalry officers has once again aroused dissatisfaction in Taishan's heart, and it has been ten years! These people still refuse to call themselves the lord as they did at the beginning! Could it be that in their hearts, I, Taishan, am really inferior to Yuan Qi! If we had not continued to rely on these people in the future, Taishan would have been unable to bear it anymore and would have beheaded these cavalry officers.

Unlike Taishan's reaction, Guan Wei, Zhang Wu, and even Chen Zhi were all infected by the actions of these cavalry officers, and they each sighed. For the order of Yuan Qi, these people have been with Zhang Wu for almost ten years, in the past ten years, these people have experienced a fierce battle, the number of people from the initial thousand, sharply reduced to more than 400 now, but none of them resentment, all Taishan's orders, as long as it does not involve Yuan Qi, they will be 100% dedicated to the implementation, do not avoid life and death to follow behind Zhang Wu, for Mount Tai charge, they are respectable and admirable. Now seeing the same outfit as the old owner's guards, their hearts are a little fluctuating, and it is inevitable that they will not forget the old master after ten years, which in itself is a feeling worthy of approval.

Secretly observing the expressions of Guan Wei, Zhang Wu and others, Taishan had already guessed their thoughts, and the hatred for Yuan Qi in his heart was even deeper. In order to consolidate his position in the hearts of the generals, Taishan rewarded those cavalry officers from Youzhou against his will, and let them continue to fight with Zhang Wu. At the same time, Taishan prepared an army mixed with horses and infantry troops, numbering about three thousand, and after equipping the weapons and equipment in the secret treasure, he handed it over to the commander of Guan Wei. As for the elite soldiers of Bai Yu, they are still as Taishan's personal guards, led by Chen Zhi.

With one-third of the money and armaments in the secret treasure, Taishan quickly armed an army of 10,000 people, in addition to Zhang Wu's 3,000 cavalry, Guan Wei's 3,000 horse infantry mixed army and Chen Zhi's 500 white soldiers, the rest of the more than 3,000 people, Taishan handed them over to generals at all levels, and today, the strength scale under Taishan's command is finally tens of thousands, which also makes the three brothers of Taishan happy. Such a situation also greatly surprised Yuan Qi's expectations, he never thought that Taishan would find the remaining secret treasures, from this moment on, Taishan has gradually escaped Yuan Qi's control, the situation, unconsciously there has been a slight deflection.

Some people are happy and some are worried, while Mount Tai is expanding the army, Xiangyang's Yuan Biao can't sit still. To Mount Tai, Yuan Biao still has a certain degree of wariness, heard that Mount Tai has expanded the army, and tens of thousands of horses have gathered in October, Yuan Biao's heart can't help but mutter. He didn't know whether Taishan's large-scale expansion of the army was to help him resist Ugong Zhaolie, or whether he was preparing to wave his troops south and seize his Jingzhou. Moreover, Tarzan became rich overnight, which also made the meta table quite puzzling.

Under many doubts, Yuan Biao summoned several important generals and strategists under his command to discuss the expansion of Mount Tai's army. As the governor of the navy under the command of Yuan Biao, and the brother-in-law of Yuan Biao, Cai Mao was the first to express his opinion, he believes that Mount Tai is a bane, no matter where he goes, he will bring cholera wherever he goes, such as Gongsun Ruyun, Tao Qian and others, all of them encountered a vicious battle after accepting Mount Tai, Gongsun Ruyun was lucky to be saved by Yuan Qi, but Tao Qian was angry with Yugong Zhaolie, the so-called lesson from the front car, the division of the back car, therefore, Cai Mao advocated that the momentum of Mount Tai must be curbed, and it is best to drive him out of Jingzhou. Cai Mao's proposal was approved by Zhang Yun and other generals.

The chief strategist of the Yuan Table, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang brothers, put forward different opinions, they believe that Taishan is a famous man in the world, the name of benevolence and virtue is all over the world, if Taishan is driven out of Jingzhou, I am afraid it will cause more people to be dissatisfied. It's better to let Tarzan guard Shinno as the first line of defense against Unomiya Terulie. However, the root cause of Taishan's sudden wealth must be investigated, and the economic lifeline of Taishan must be pinched in his own hands, and Mount Tai will be contained, and Taishan can no longer be allowed to continue to expand the army, otherwise the threat to Xiangyang will be too great.

After Huang Zu's death, the person who succeeded Huang Zu as the governor of Jiangxia Prefecture was Yuan Pan, Yuan Pan, who was a talented person with both civil and military skills, and Yuan Biao relied on him very much. When everyone expressed their opinions, Yuan Pan said with some doubts: "Uncle, my lords, I don't know if you have found a single detail. When Yuan Qi was serving as the pastor of Nanyang Prefecture, he suddenly made a fortune, and the current situation of Mount Tai is very similar to that of Yuan Qi at the beginning! From this, it can be inferred that under the rule of Xinye, there must have been treasures of the former dynasty that we do not know, and they were discovered by Yuan Qi and Mount Tai successively. ”

After Yuan Pan's reminder, Kuai Liang said: "Yes, I got the news, Taishan's personal guards are known as the white elite soldiers, these people have white feathers on their helmets, recently someone saw this elite soldier wearing fish scale iron armor, holding a horse chopping knife, like the original Yuan Qi Tiangui camp, Taishan's personal guard army is so similar to the original Tiangui camp, there must be something strange in it." ”

Listening to everyone's words, Yuan Biao's face gradually became gloomy. Although Yuan Biao is generous on the surface, he is actually full of suspicion in his heart, to put it bluntly, his personality is similar to Yuan Ding. Discovering and using the secret treasure is the only reason why Taishan became rich, but the angry thing is that Taishan did not reveal a trace of the news to himself, but chose to swallow this batch of secret treasures alone! This really made Yuan Biao's heart full of dissatisfaction.

With a gloomy face, Yuan Biao issued a series of orders: "Kuai Liang, someone sent a letter to Taishan, asking him to come to Xiangyang the day after tomorrow, saying that the government misses him very much and wants to have a small reunion with him for a day." Kuai Yue, immediately send someone to find out the reason for Taishan's sudden wealth, and report back to the mansion within two days! Cai Mao, the day after tomorrow, you will lead 500 elite soldiers, ambush on both sides of the banquet, and take the mansion to personally interrogate Mount Tai, if he has half a lie, you will listen to the mansion to throw a cup as a signal, and immediately capture him. ”

Everyone took the order and left, leaving Yuan Biao sitting alone in the hall with a gloomy expression......
