288. One Hundred and Eighteen, Expedition Part I
"My lord said that we all know about the requisition of troops in the state to go to the war. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
After Shen Tu calmed down, he said slowly: "Originally, we all have a relationship, and we must fully support it, however, most adults are a little worried, if all the soldiers are transferred, Xitian Prefecture will really become an empty nest, and if the Red Striped Army recovers......"
"I can assure you. The Wolf Army's gaze swept in front of everyone, and he replied in a loud voice, "Today's Red Striped Army, which has suffered many battle losses, is no longer a problem. In addition, if it is slightly offended, the strength of the state is already grim now, even if it is scattered all over the country, defending the city and protecting the palace, and creating a momentum, it will not have much effect. It is only important to immediately recruit the villagers and train them into an army. β
An official asked: "The rebels in the state have decided to keep some soldiers to stabilize the situation, okay?"
"Don't worry, my lord!" Wolf Junxing nodded and said, "I control the military in the state, and I can only dispatch troops in my state, but I can rely on the help of the four sides." Just like Wen Ershan of Shanyan County in Guiyue Prefecture, he is brave and strategic, and brave in battle, you can invite him to garrison, and when he is stable, it is not too late to let him go. β
"Your Excellency is really thoughtful. Shen Tu pondered and said, "However, the soldiers can be adjusted, and it is hoped that the generals of each county will be left behind, recruit new soldiers, and train them, and they will also need their experience and skills." β
"Of course. The wolf army star happily agreed, "As for the food and grass supply of our army's expedition......"
The officials were silent at first, and then complained in unison.
Someone smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Zhonglang, you should know the current situation in the state." Tens of thousands of troops, I really can't afford it......"
Wolf Junxing's face was calm, and his tone was quite soft: "I also understand your difficulties, but this matter is made by Your Majesty, and you can't let the soldiers go hungry and full of resentment to go on an expedition!"
When the officials heard him move out of the emperor, there was another argument.
Finally, the older chief secretary said: "Lord Zhonglang, our difficulties have been explained, is it really up to us to bear it?"
When the wolf army star didn't smile fiercely, he was even more majestic and terrifying, and he said lightly: "The civil affairs in the later period of Xitian Prefecture really depend on the hard work of all the adults, and I actually admire it very much. However, His Majesty's holy decree cannot be violated, and I grit my teeth to deal with such difficulties as recruiting soldiers, but I have no choice but to replenish food and salary, and I still need to bear the burden of hard work by the local government......"
A few people turned red and angry, and couldn't help but shout: "The imperial court doesn't know the local suffering, and it is really ...... to issue difficult orders at will."
The organic spirit man next to him hurriedly stopped him, and everyone calmed down a little.
Shen Tu sighed and said to his colleagues: "It's really not possible, so I can only discuss with the Hao Gentry and Wang clan and borrow some more......
"We'......ve borrowed a lot from the war before," someone whispered in dispute.
"Local wealthy families, there are many low-level music cultivation disciples to inherit, no matter how chaotic it is, they can protect themselves, and there should be still ...... to spare."
"Let's talk to them more......"
"Alas...... If this continues, how to return it is also a problem!"
"Take a step, count it as a step. β
β......β
Shen Tu discussed with everyone again for a while, and their opinions were reluctantly unified, and they were willing to provide food and salary supplies for the wolf army during the conscription in Xitian Prefecture.
Now that the goal has been achieved, Wolf Junxing and Xiao Yu turned around and left.
Shen Tu seemed to follow a section at will, which was regarded as a send-off.
When he arrived at a secluded place outside, he suddenly approached and said: "My lord's expedition is not easy, supply food and salary, but there are small difficulties, there is always a way, but there are some key points, and adults need to remember!"
After all, Wolf Junxing is his savior, and Shen Tu is naturally concerned about his future future.
No longer being tough on the officials before, the Wolf Army Star Thorn Shi also became respectful, bowed his head and said, "My lord, please speak." β
"The counterinsurgency army of the imperial court, the commander is General Zhan Liang Zhan, who is an important minister in the court, rich in learning, rich in five cars, generous in personality, and a rare celebrity in the court. If you are in the past, remember not to offend, if you can befriend a few of his protΓ©gΓ©s, it will be beneficial to the future......"
The Wolf Army Star immediately bowed down and thanked him.
"Also, most of the generals who accompanied the army went out of Xinjiang, although they have rich experience, but they may be estranged from you......," Shen Tu tactfully persuaded, "Lord Zhonglang's career is very short, but his military achievements are extremely strong, and there are some mavericks in many places, if you are not careful, I am afraid that it is easy to cause disputes." β
Wolf Junxing wrote them down one by one, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your advice!
Shen Tu pondered for a long time, and stopped talking, with a little struggle on his face.
Seeing this, Wolf Junxing was a little strange and wanted to ask, but Xiao Yu suddenly stepped forward, waved his hand and flicked a few times, the surrounding sounds flickered, and when he raised his eyes, it seemed that a secluded barrier was enveloping the three of them.
"Your Excellency, please speak up. Xiao Yu smiled and said, "With this magic circle, you will never be listened to by others." β
Shen Tu looked at his smile, feeling soothing in his ears, as if there was a clear sound and soft playing, and his mood was immediately settled.
He took a light breath and said slowly, "There is a general, but you need to be careful. β
The Wolf Army Star listened solemnly.
"This person's name is Meng Rishi, and he is a native of the southwest frontier and Puzhou. β
Shen Tu looked into the distance and said in a deep voice: "As a local legend, there have always been mysterious rumors about his origin: some say that he is a soldier of the Dongchuan Frontier and a cross-border widow, and some say that he is a native of Zhongxuan and a descendant of the border people, and there are even rumors that he was born from the combination of alien race and human race......
"There are rumors of this, and I suspect that it is because of the strange appearance of this man, and at a young age, he was known for his amazing bravery and strength. Among his peers, even ordinary Yin Cultivator disciples were difficult to match. β
Shen Tu's eyes showed a little disgust, and he said: "In the early years, Meng Rishi often traveled to foreign lands, and he seemed to be a natural fit with foreign races such as the Great Wilderness and Barbarian Wood, and was extremely friendly. Later, he was recruited by the history of the same Puzhou assassin, and he was also brave and good at fighting, and his strategy was extraordinary. However, it seems that the bloody battlefield has inspired another side of him, and the more he goes, the more cruel and murderous he becomes, and the more brutal and violent he becomes......"
"Maybe guarding the border will be like this, which is a good thing to deter foreign enemies and internal thieves. Just like Lord Di Ziai, just like Lord Zhonglang, you ......"
When Shen Tu saw the Wolf Army Star, he seemed to be a little disapproving, and said solemnly: "But when General Meng Rishi, who has accumulated military merits for more than ten years, has been promoted all the way, and gradually entered the center of officialdom, he seems to have more ideas...... It has always been rumored that he recruited disciples and secretly gathered a group of monks, but it was not a righteous sound, but an evil cultivator......"
"Evil cultivator?" Wolf Junxing was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Yu, who also had a solemn face.
"Not bad. Shen Tu subconsciously looked around, "The brutal name of Meng Rishi, in addition to his ruthlessness to the enemy, is all about cutting grass and roots, leaving no chickens and dogs, and half of it comes from this." Officialdom is not as good as the battlefield, political enemies fight, and they can't be killed directly, but around him, there are constantly all kinds of terrifying news coming out, and the opponents who seem to make General Meng have murderous intentions all encounter strange things and end up without a problem......"
The three of them were silent for a long time, and Wolf Junxing spoke: "My lord asked me to pay attention, but he is saying that he will take the initiative to disadvantage me?"
Shen Tu nodded and said, "Originally, with his qualifications, it was almost difficult for you to intersect. But the two of you have almost similar experiences, and he has accumulated more than ten years, and you have achieved it in just over two years. With his famous strength, the slightest friction between you may lead to great things......"
Wolf Junxing raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashing.
Xiao Yu's face was calm, but the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed.
"These are my own opinions, and they may not happen. Shen Tu said slowly, "It's groundless, rootless, and unfounded, after saying it, it seems to be a little worried, if you don't think so, you will forget it." But the battlefield is full of calamities, always be on guard, and always be on the lookout......"
"It's not too much. Wolf Junxing saluted him and said, "Only true friends will not be afraid of others, so worry about it, thank you sincerely!"
After that, Xiao Yu withdrew the magic circle, and several people said goodbye to each other and separated.
Throughout March, the wolf army worked day and night, busy with combat readiness.
The food and salaries promised by the Xitian Prefecture government were delivered one after another.
The infantry army reinforced by Yangshui Country arrived one after another.
In each county, there are leaders such as Wu Shuai and Yan Feng, who also brought back the officials and recruits from all over the country.
The expeditionary camp attached to the city gradually expanded, and the accumulated materials and soldiers increased day by day.
When the trained original Chiwen army all arrived from Beicangzhou, the size of the wolf army finally greatly exceeded the limit.
The one who commanded all the red stripes of the army was still the leader assigned by Xiao Yu at the beginning, and now he has washed all the red stripes, rebuilt his faith, and simply abandoned his previous name, took "wolf" as his surname, and changed his name to wolf and covered white.
There are also some people who have changed their faces like him, but they have their own thoughts, and they may not all change their minds like him.
Wolf Cover Bai saluted the Wolf Army Star and said: "My lord keeps his promise and treats the soldiers equally, we are very grateful, and I am willing to serve the dogs and horses for the adults." β
"Cover white, you are sincere, and I understand it. The Wolf Army Star patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I fought against the Red Striped Army before, I am afraid that you will wait for the mustard, and you will only have the idle north." Now it is not easy to go on an expedition to the southwest. is still the same sentence, if you are really willing to go, you are the life and death brothers of the wolf army, if you are weak and special, you can be dismissed as appropriate......"
Wolf Fubai was moved, and then asked with some concern: "I heard that the adults have to gather enough troops, if it is not enough because of this......"
"You can't be forced to fight a war, the spirit of the army is the same as the hearts of the people, if you are dissatisfied, you will not be angry, and if you are not angry, you will not be strong. Wolf Junxing said casually.
Wolf Fubai was still worried: "But the adults let the prisoners surrender privately, if the court knows about it......"
Wolf Junxing shook his head and said solemnly: "Instead of worrying about this, it's better to worry, are there still many generals in the city of the Great Khan who used to die before, so they are resentful of our army?"
The generals on the opposite side looked at each other and couldn't answer for a while.
"In the southwest battlefield, against most of the alien strong horses, it is not the same as your previous battles. The wolf army star said slowly, "Our wolf army, if we can't unite as one, I'm afraid the outcome of the battle will never be optimistic." β
