Chapter XVII
Yi Mingxiang was reading in the shade of the tree in the courtyard, and when he looked up after hearing the voice, he was very surprised to see that Li Wumang was very surprised. Hurriedly motioned to the dumb servant not to make a sound.
Li Wumang opened the courtyard door and let Da Hong and the others in.
"Big brother, why are you here. Yi Xiang walked over quickly
"Sir sue me for this place, the old lady is feeling better?"
"It's not good. "The name change is a little melancholy.
"Second brother, don't worry, I'll take you out of the city. ”
There were so many people in the courtyard, Yi Shilang was also alarmed, and when he went out, he saw Li Wumang but didn't know him. Yi Xiang said: "Father, this is my eldest brother Li Wumang." ”
Yi Shilang naturally knew about Yi Mingxiang's abduction, and now Yi Shilang is also a fugitive criminal, he has no fight, and after listening to his son's words, he said with a smile: "It's the nephew of the Li family, thank you for saving Wumang." "Let Li Wumang and the others into the house.
When I entered the house, I saw Yi Lin lying on the couch.
Li Wumang saluted. "The old lady is well. ”
"Wumang, how did you find this?" Yi Lin felt strange.
Li Wumang told Yi Lin of Liu Sicheng's entrustment.
"Then let's go. "Yi Lin didn't want to stay here anymore.
Da Hong worked for half an hour, changing the appearance of five or six people in the Yi family. Several people looked at each other and said yes. It's completely different from the pictures on the street.
Li Wumang and Da Hong brought carriages and sedan chairs, and the Yi family went out of the city in several batches. I went to Fuguang Village. When they arrived in Red Leaf Town, Hei Taisui and the others followed on the road and hurriedly sent Yi Lin into the inn. The invited Lang Zhong waited there, wrote the recipe for the pulse, grabbed the medicine and decocted it for Yi Lin. Yi Lin was not a serious illness, the medicine was right, and his body was much lighter that night. I was cured in two days.
After Yi Lin recovered from his illness, the Yi family lived in Fuguang Village. Li Wumang told Yi Lin about the situation of the cottage and the instructions of King Ji.
"King Ji asked King Jingxi to send troops within the month, how is the prince going to send troops?" Yi Lin wanted to listen to Li Wumang's plan.
"Old lady, you still call me Wumang, I was about to ask the old lady for advice. ”
"Lord Wang, respect and humility are orderly, and the command of the three armies is even more so. Yi Lin said earnestly.
Li Wumang let out an "oh".
Yi Lin continued: "Liuzhai formed an army, can not replace military discipline with righteousness, the first thing is to determine the authority, the general position given by King Ji should be arranged immediately, Yi Lin listened to King Jingxi said, the six village owners should be awarded the post of general." The remaining four vacancies will be discussed when there are suitable candidates. ”
"What the old lady said is very true. Li Wumang agreed.
"King Jingxi is also not in accordance with the rules and calls the old lady Yi Lin, Yi Lin has retired, and serving the king of Ji is to redeem the merit, and the king of Jingxi will call Mr. Yi Lin Yi in the future?" Yi Lin was meticulous.
Li Wumang nodded, "Mr. Yi, King Ji asked Wumang to ask you more questions, I think I know that the army formed by the cottage lacks strategists." In the future, I will rely on Mr. Yi's guidance. ”
"King Ji should be worried about this, he is too old to follow the army, so he lives in this Fuguang Village, and King Jingxi must know everything if he has doubts. ”
"Wumang is fourteen years old this year, and even though he is young, he knows the truth that if the name is not right, it is not good. I want to ask the old gentleman to be a military advisor, Wumang uses the throne of King Jingxi as a guarantee, if King Ji regains the throne, the old gentleman will definitely be a marquis. Li Wumang spoke with great momentum.
"Okay, the Liuzhai army also wants people to be evildoers. King Jingxi summoned six village owners to Fuguang Village today to discuss matters, and the old man had something to say. ”
"Mr. Yi, the six villages are far away, and they will be there tomorrow. ”
Yi Lin nodded and said, "Okay, just tomorrow." ”
Li Wumang went to find the name change again. The two of them have endless words. When he arrived in Red Leaf Town, he heard a lot about Li Wumang, as if he was listening to a myth.
"Big brother, you have become the second king of the two barbarian tribes?"
"yes. Li Wumang replied in a long voice.
"What's the good of the second king?"
"I didn't stay there for a few days, and I didn't see anything good, but a few days ago the two kings sent a message and built me a camp for the second king at the meeting place of the two tribes. There is a big silver-roofed tent. It is said that there are still a million tribal population. ”
Yi Mingxiang's eyes widened, "A million people support you alone?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it, I said that it was given to me by two tribes and one half. "Li Wumang doesn't know either.
"Who cares if the eldest brother is not there?"
"Second brother, if you don't care, it is said that the cups, plates and bowls are either gold or jade, and they are very extravagant. Li Wumang said with a smile.
"Besides, the tribesmen don't know me, and I don't have a good face when I go. ”
Talking and laughing, the day passed.
The next evening. The six owners of the village have all arrived. Ate and sit down in the hall. Li Wumang sat on the top spot, and the owner of the village knew that he was talking about serious things when he saw it. Li Wumang sent someone to invite Yi Lin out and set up a seat beside him. Please sit down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the order of King Ji, troops will be sent within a month. Mr. Yi Lao is a military advisor who has no mang. Let's all listen to the dispatch of the military advisor. After Li Wumang finished speaking, he looked at Yi Lin.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past, the green forest talked about righteousness, but there are also rules in the army. The Liuzhai army must act in accordance with the rules of the Anguo army. The words left by King Ji have also been read, except for the title of General Jingxi as the king of Jingxi, the rest have not changed. Can the owner of the black village have such a thing?" Yi Lin wanted to find a witness.
"Hei was present that day, and this was indeed the case. Hei Tai Sui nodded.
"The king of Jingxi will grant the seal letter to the six village lords and generals today according to the decree of the king of Ji. After Yi Lin finished speaking, Li Wumang stood up.
Someone brought in the six gold seals that had been cast. The six village owners stood up, Li Wumang handed them the golden seal one by one, and several village owners accepted it. Sit down.
"Since the founding of the country, there has never been a reckless hero who has been a general without a defense. This is the extra grace of King Ji and King Jingxi, do you generals know?" Yi Lin looked at several village owners.
Hei Taisui and the others already knew that the position of the Ten Generals must have their own share, and it was natural to take the gold seal, but after listening to Yi Lin, they felt that it was indeed the case. They were all a little scared.
"The capital is the big husband who is determined to worship the general and the marquis, and today he is in a hurry to worship the general, how can he be the marquis in the future? Thanks to the blessing of the king of Jingxi, the Liuzhai Fu will get the help of 40,000 tribal soldiers and horsemen as soon as the army is formed, and the generals will not make meritorious deeds at this time, when will they stay? If you want to get the title of ten marquis promised by the king of Ji. It is necessary to make great achievements in the west. Yi Lin hit the nail on the head.
Several village owners nodded when they heard this. Chang Shan and others: "What the military advisor said is that if you want to be a marquis, you must have military merits, and King Ji is benevolent, and he was awarded the rank of general before he left the army." We wait for the death force. ”
Yi Lin nodded and continued: "If you want to win in battle, you must have strict military discipline. After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and the fly's head was densely written. Yi Lin put the paper on several cases. "This is the military regulation of the Anjun army, and the generals must govern the army according to the rules. Don't be lazy. ”
Among the six village owners, only Rosie stood up violently and saluted with a fist, "Yes." ”
"General Luo was born in the army and knows the rules in the army. The rest of the generals were rusty. Yi Lin stroked his beard.
Several village owners hurriedly stood up, clasped their fists and saluted: "Yes." ”
"Everyone, please sit down, military etiquette is to keep people in mind their identity at all times, the venerable have orders, and the humble can obey orders. Otherwise, when life and death are at stake, His Holiness has no authority, and how can the inferior use his life?
Li Wumang said: "The generals must remember clearly. ”
The six village owners learned a lesson and all stood up, "Yes." ”
Li Wumang did not smile. "Sit down, generals. ”
Yi Lin Zhengse said: "This article is particularly important in the Liuzhai Army, the king of Jingxi is young, and the generals treat him as a son and nephew on weekdays, and call the prince by his name. If he continues to do so in military affairs, he will be heavily responsible. According to the military regulations of the security army, it should be subject to 20 military sticks. In the future, the same will be true for the generals to restrain their subordinates. ”
Yi Lin smiled after speaking, "This is not the case in private occasions, you can feel free." ”
The six village owners were a little scared. In the past, it was called Wumang, in case it was called wrong that day, looking at Yi Lin's example, the twenty military sticks would not be able to hide.
"Liuzhai has just become an army, and the generals have made a slip of the tongue in recent days, so they will record the general's stick in the account. Li Wumang was also afraid that the owner of the village would be wrongly beaten.
"King Jingxi can't, someone must be beaten with a military stick before others can be alert. Yi Lin didn't budge.
The six owners of the village all said yes.
"Military division, there are more than 3,000 people in the Liuzhai Army, there must be a system, right?" asked Li Wumang.
"General Luo was born in the army, and Yi Lin wanted to hear his high opinions. Yi Lin looked at Luo Ximeng.
Luo Xi stood up and arched his hand, "The last general thinks that with a thousand people as a battalion, six generals and two people are in charge of a battalion, and the generals of each battalion are determined by King Jingxi. It will not be prevaricated and delayed military aircraft. ”
When the other five village owners heard this, they were secretly ashamed in their hearts. On weekdays, Rossi is not valued by the five, but now it seems that he is the most like a general.
"King Jingxi, what General Luo said is quite reasonable, and Yi Lin agrees. ”
"The army is most afraid of intrigues, and the six generals will discuss it on their own, and inform the king of the results tomorrow. "Until now, I can't help but be unofficial.
Yi Lin couldn't help but nod his head.
"Military advisor, is the army that King Ji said to attack the city?" asked Yi Lin.
"If you don't fight the city, you can't make a noise, and if the state city doesn't move it first, you can choose a county seat and stand on your heels. "Yi Lin had a plan.
"The military advisor has a point. Li Wumang thinks it's feasible.
On the second day, Hei Tai Sui told Li Wumang the meaning of the discussion of several village owners, and Wangzhou Sanzhai said that the time to follow Li Wumang was short, and he gave way to Gaozhou Sanzhai.
The first battalion is Hei Tai Sui and Da Hong, the second battalion is Chang Shan and Pu Yi, and the third battalion is Xi Daoren and Luo Ximeng. Li Wumang discussed it with Yi Lin and settled down.
Yi Lin repaired a letter, Li Wumang sent a fine person to send it to the Gaozhou Governor's Mansion, handed it to He Kangji, and the messenger came back and said that after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the Governor, and the letter was handed in, and I don't know if He Dang read it.
Yi Lin said to Li Wumang: "If the letter enters the Governor's Palace, He Dare will recognize that it is my handwriting when he sees the cover, I think he has seen it." It's just that there are too many people to talk back, and if they don't catch the messenger, they are seventy percent sure. ”
"Mr. Yi, this He dares to have a vague attitude, what are you going to do next?"
"King Jingxi, the old man has been relying on the old man for many days, and he also wants to hear the opinion of the prince. ”
"Mr. Yi, Wumang is just from the Gaozhou City Basket Wheat, and he is fourteen years old this year, what can he think. "Li Wumang is very humble.
"Otherwise, it is said that King Jingxi is an immortal cultivator, and he must be a man of great mind, although he has not been in battle, he has his own ideas in the past few days. "Yi Lin wants to see Li Wumang's ability.
"Mr. Yi, don't laugh at me. ”
Yi Lin said with a straight face: "King Jingxi is the main general of the west, who dares to laugh at the prince!"
"Eighty miles away from Gaozhou, there is a county town in the direction of the capital, which is the intersection of the east, west, north and south official roads. The walls are strong. There were two thousand men in the city. Except for Gaozhou He Kangji, there are no large military camps around. Wumang wants to take this place first. ”
Seeing Yi Lin nodded. Li Wumang said again: "Although the Liuzhai Army is a cavalry, in the end the army is in a hurry, it is not possible to take it hard, let the five hundred people into the whole into the city, and at night to grab the city gate, let the cavalry outside, so that the chance of victory is greater." ”
"King Jingxi really has a good plan. How are the 40,000 tribal army cavalry Jingxi King going to be used?" Yi Lin thought to himself, the person designated by the immortal cultivator was really different.
"Occupy the county seat, look at He Kangji's actions, know that we are only 3,000 people, if we come to the rescue, He Ganji will not lead more than 20,000 troops. I ordered the tribal army to ride on He Kang to annihilate him when he besieged the city, and He Kangji would not dare to act rashly in the future. If He Dangji does not come, he means that he does not want to be an enemy of King Ji, the tribal army can enter the west, capture some prefectures and counties, and the Liuzhai army can also take the opportunity to recruit troops and horses to expand the team. ”
Yi Lin stroked his palms and laughed. "Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager, good, good, good!"
"Mr. Yi, according to the order of King Ji, I will send troops in ten days, and I will go to the barbarian tribe to receive 40,000 military cavalry. I want the famous minister to go with me, will Mr. Yi agree?"
"It's best to let the name and face have some knowledge. Yi Lin nodded in agreement.
......
Li Wumang invited Yi Mingxiang to go to the barbarian tribe together, Li Wumang rode the white horse given by Qinghao, and let Yi Mingxiang ride the black chasing tiger.
The renamed minister is the young master of a large family, so he naturally knows how to ride a horse. It's just that I was a little scared when I saw the black chasing tiger.
"Big brother, why does this horse look so vicious?"
Li Wumang said: "The black chasing tiger is a different species, but it doesn't hurt to ride. Just don't whip and drag. As soon as this horse neighs, the other horses will have weak feet, and I, the white horse, will not be able to stand it. ”
"No wonder it looks different. "The name change is cautiously ridden, fast and steady.
They are all BMW horses, and they will arrive at the Younai tribe in one day, and the clansmen who don't know Li Wumang's second king, they all saluted when they saw it, and Li Wumang nodded in greeting. Entered the camp and came to Qinghao's big tent.
Qinghao had already received the report, greeted him outside the tent, and said happily when he saw Li Wumang: "Li Wumang's second king, this king has been waiting for many days." ”
Li Wumang and the name change were introduced into the tent. After sitting down, Qinghao said: "Second King, I and Coca have built a camp for you, and you have a large area of grassland and a million people. Knowing that you are here, the coca king must also be happy. ”
"Dear King Qinghao, thank you for your generosity, Wumang doesn't need this. ”
"Second king, this is what you deserve. Second king, is it okay to speak casually in our relationship? Don't call me the honorable king. ”
"Okay King, don't you have any contradictions with King Coca?" Li Wumang was worried that the two would not get along.
"No, both clans will become your clan in the future, do you still need to fight? Now the power has put us among the most powerful tribes. King Sumaha will respect us too. ”
Li Wumang asked, "Is King Su Maha's clan the most powerful?"
"Yes. Qinghao nodded.
"This is my brother's name change, and he will be able to represent me when I am here. Li Wumang introduced the name change.
"Second King, think about it again, is this a person who can mobilize 200,000 tribal soldiers and horsemen at will?" Qinghao said a little strangely.
"King Qinghao, I don't understand. ”
"The second king has a population of one million, and the adult men of the tribe are all warriors, and you have at least 200,000 military horsemen, if your brother represents you, it means that he can mobilize these horses, does the second king understand?" After speaking, he looked at Li Wumang
"Understood. But my brother still represents me. ”
Qinghao nodded. "Good. But the second king, if you want to use soldiers, you must first use the 40,000 horsemen that I and King Coca have given you, otherwise we will be made fun of by the kings of other tribes. ”
Li Wumang said with a smile: "King, we are here for 40,000 troops, and we didn't know that I had 200,000 horses when we came. ”
"yes, that's not a small number. The entry of 200,000 tribal warriors into any of the five Acura countries would make the emperor of that country tremble. Qinghao said proudly.
"In this way, there are so many tribes, and there are millions of military cavalry, how can we not see that the five countries have been invaded by the tribes?"
"What consumes the strength of the tribe is the war between the tribes, and the second king has 200,000 troops and horses available, because the women, children and old people of the tribe are protected by the traces of the trumpet, if it is not so, how dare the second king mobilize all the military horses. As soon as the army is gone, the people will be plundered and burned for other tribes. The same is true of the great tribes. King Su Maha received the title of King Qi of the White Kingdom, and he only dared to bring 130,000 horses. Qinghao said the reason.
"If I transfer 200,000 horses, wouldn't it be dangerous for Yuno and the trumpet?"
"No, Yuno has strengthened with the Trumpet Alliance, and even if there are 200,000 fewer military cavalry, it is much stronger than in the past. ”
"That's fine, but I'm not going to put too many people into it right now."
Qinghao said: "Second king, you should go to the Trumpet tribe tomorrow, the second king has been in the Youno tribe for a long time, and King Coca will think that you are biased." ”
"King Qinghao, let's go to the Trumpet tribe together, so that King Coca will not have an opinion. ”
"It's still thoughtful and thoughtful. ”
Early in the morning, Qinghao took a guard of 500 people to go to the Trumpet Tribe, along with Li Wumang and Yi Mingxiang. The wilderness is composed of grasslands, Gobi and mountains, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. After a day of walking, we arrived at Camp Bug.
Coca greeted them at the camp. Warmly entertained Qinghao and his party with lamb wine. Coca said: "The second king of Li Wumang came to his tribe for the first time, so he should stay longer. ”
"King Coca, I've had a lot to do lately, so let's stay next time. ”
"I know you're busy, do you want to take the 20,000 cavalry with you now?"
"In a few days. ”
After Li Wumang finished speaking, he told Coca about the change of name on behalf of the second king.
Coca's eyes widened.
Qinghao said: "King Coca, I have already explained the matter to the second king. You don't need to be surprised. ”
"Well, there is something about the second king that must be discussed in the presence of the three of us, and King Qinghao and I have been waiting for you. ”
"What is it?" asked Li Wumang.
"Yuno has formed an alliance with the Trumpet Clan because they share a noble Immortal Cultivator Second King, and this is an unbreakable alliance, and some of the surrounding tribes want to join us. Qinghao replied.
"The wilderness is the land in the arms of the god of Damang Mountain, like the shape of a crescent moon. We were probably in the middle of the crescent, and the east end of the crescent moon was next to the white country. It was the tribe of King Sumaha the Great. Xitou also has some powerful tribes in the kingdom of Li. Coca knew that Li Wumang didn't know too much about the barbarian tribe, so he said it briefly.
"The wilderness is a narrow strip of land with a population of 200 million. The tribe of King Sumaha had a population of 10 million. It is the largest tribe. There were several tribes with a population of more than five million around him, so King Su Maha did not dare to use his troops lightly. Qinghao said.
Li Wumang listened to it for a long time and didn't figure it out. "What does this have to do with us?"
Coca smiled, "If we accept the requests of the other tribes to join the Yuno or the Trumpet, our tribe will be the most powerful." On the very large distance, these tribes took refuge in the second king of the immortal cultivators. Besides, you are the future king of the tribe, so you must agree. ”
"What's in it for our tribal alliance?"
"There are many benefits to a strong clan, but at the very least, if you don't fight others, others will never dare to fight you, and the initiative of war is in your own hands. Qinghao said the benefits.
"Did the two kings agree to accept them?"
Qinghao and Coca both nodded.
"Is there any harm?" Li Wumang is not a person who only sees the benefits.
"The disadvantage is that in the future you will have to manage a large tribe that may be populous and unprecedented. The two kings laughed.
Li Wumang now has a certain understanding of the barbarian tribes, war is the biggest disaster for the clan, if the appearance of the big tribe can reduce the war, it is also a good thing.
Since both kings were willing to accept it, Wumang did not object. ”
Qinghao happily picked up the golden cup and dried the wine in the cup in one gulp.
"Second King. Savagery may have begun a new era. ”
"King Qinghao, there is one thing you should also tell the second king, and that is that as the king, you will receive more offerings every year. ”
"I know that. Li Wumang also smiled.
"There is a great tribe of five million men next to me who will ally with us on the condition that the second king accept his royal insignia. Coca looked at Li Wumang.
"Is this necessary?" said Li Wumangxin, the second king again.
"It is very necessary, the past of the clan is as famous as Yuno and Trumpet, and the grassland is vast and the warriors are strong. Qinghao said seriously.
"Well, but I don't have time to wait for them to engrave my armor with an insignia. ”
Coca said, "This is not a problem, as long as the noble Immortal Cultivator Second King agrees." ”
"If there is such a question in the future, we will still wait for you to decide. Qinghao said.
"No need, I will be persuaded by you when I get here, and in the future, you can decide together, including the king of the Jide tribe. ”
Qinghao and Coca laughed.
