Volume 15 The winner is the king. Chapter 1209 The tiger borrows pigs.
What did Hu You sell before the scientific examination? That was the answer to the scientific examination. As soon as Hu You said this, more than a dozen people suddenly became weak. They were not sure that the person in front of them was the one who sold them the answer. Now there is no need to guess, that is him.
At this time, those who bought Hu You's answer were divided into two groups. One group felt that they had missed it once and could not make the first mistake again. Based on the principle of admitting mistakes, they stood up with their husbands, while the other group was lucky and thought that Hu You would definitely remember them. After a while of struggle, the people who thought about it stayed in place.
Hu You glanced at the group of people, and stood quietly without a joke. Killing one is for the crime, and slaughtering one is for the hero. Hu You have fought in the Tianfeng Continent for more than ten years, so he naturally has a domineering aura. These scholars have never seen this before, and they are all frightened.
Hu You stood still, the students could not guess Hu You's thoughts, and they stood there one by one. Time passed by minute by minute, and the sun rose more and more, from a slanted illumination to a direct shot, hanging above his head like a huge fireball.
So hot.
This is the same feeling that everyone has.
Gradually, some people can't support it anymore. Many scholars don't do much at home. Although they are not as powerful as having sex, they can't pay much.
Two hours later, more than 100 people were helped out by soldiers. A group of people went east and west, and more than 300 people were left.
Ouyang Shuixian was there all the way, looking at the students from time to time, and then looking at Hu You who was standing there like an ice sculpture. She kept guessing Hu You's purpose in her head. After being with Hu You for so long, she had more or less guessed that Hu You were selecting people.
However, Ouyang Shuixian was not clear at all about what Hu You's standards were. In theory, those students who bought answers should not be hired even if they passed the exam. Ouyang Shuixian found several people who bought test questions from him in the crowd.
After another hour, what was supposed to fall was almost over. Hu You waved his hand and called the soldiers and asked the soldiers to take the student to the barracks that had been arranged to rest.
The students were all confused at this time. Seeing that Hu You had no intention of explaining, they didn't dare to ask more questions. It was probably because they passed the test.
"I don't understand." Ouyang Shuixian hummed with some anger. Neither she nor Hu You returned to the General's Mansion, and she temporarily lived in the military camp tonight.
Hu You laughed and said, "What do you don't understand?"
"Those students obviously got the answer in advance, why didn't you drive them away?" Ouyang Shuixian hummed.
"Why should I drive them away?"
“Because they don’t cheat!”
"Haha, cheating is also a kind of trick. A good official should have all kinds of ability to adapt to the situation. As the saying goes, you are always cheating, and you often ambush and attack enemies. Do you mean you cheat when you are fighting?"
"What's the same!" Ouyang Shuixian was almost madly angry by Hu You. War is a means of not being able to do anything. As long as you can win, no one will care about the process. There were some generals who had appeared before, and before the war, they first issued a letter of war, made an appointment for a time and place, and then fought. In Ouyang Shuixian's opinion, those are all idiots.
Hu You smiled and said, "There is no difference."
“Then those who didn’t buy the answers were not worth it?”
"Who told them not to buy it? A great opportunity is in front of them. They don't cherish who can blame them."
"But some people don't know you're selling the answer!"
“Luck is sometimes a kind of ability.”
Hu You looked at the starry night sky and showed a faint smile. The reason why a person can succeed is that ability is key, and luck is also key.
In the next few days, Hu You stayed in the military camp and used various methods to train more than 300 students. When Hu You left the military camp, only 200 students were left. At this time, these 200 people could no longer be called students, and they had all been promoted to junior civil servants of the Immortal Legion.
Hu You's actions this time have caused great controversy. As always, Hu You didn't care about the controversy at all and still did his own thing.
Many years later, when all these civil servants grew up, people once again admired Hu You's vision. But that was all a story. Now they are just junior civil servants.
In July, the demons who had been quiet for almost a year finally took action again. This time they did not attack the Mandala Empire, but instead attacked the Chihe Empire.
Qin Ming also made moves at the same time, and his target was also the Chihe Empire. His playing style 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 attack the rear of the demon clan. In other words, Qin Ming opened two fronts at the same time.
Various military intelligences were filled with snowflakes, indicating that the quiet period of the Immortal Legion would be broken.
At the military meeting, the generals quarreled together. Some people suggested working with Qin Ming again to destroy the demon clan in one fell swoop. Some people thought that they should hold their troops at this time and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Some people thought that they should cooperate with the demon clan and destroy Qin Ming.
Each proposal has its own argument. From a strategic perspective, these proposals are fine. The only difference is which one is more operational and which one can bring benefits to the Legion.
At this meeting, Hu You felt dizzy after driving a few times. Then he asked, with the current combat power of the Immortal Legion, what should I use to fight against others? What is the most lacking in the Legion?
The Immortal Legion's most shortage is war horses. The entire army now has 500,000 people, but the war horses in its hands are only 20,000. The legion is now all infantry, so there is no problem in defending the city, but the attack is not enough. The cavalry rushed over, and you don't even have a donkey, so what can you do to hedge against others?
As soon as Hu You said, he denied the external war situation and turned the direction of the legion to internal things. After such pressure, the Immortal Legion was quiet for more than two months.
On that day, Zhu Daneng found Hu You. He came back to deal with the military ration issue and came to meet Hu You by the way. Zhu Daneng didn't need to deal with the military rations himself. The reason why he came was that he wanted to discuss with Hu You if he had something to do.
"Young marshal, in my opinion, we might as well take advantage of the war between Qin Ming and the demons to clear the bandits in the country." Zhu Daneng said to Hu You. When Yang Lin's old nest was suppressed, the Fifth and Seventh Divisions under Zhu Daneng made small fortunes. This was the best reminder for him. The bandits had money, and the Immortal Legion could not steal the common people, but they could steal the bandits.
Hu You carefully considered Zhu Daneng's words, pondered for a long time, and said, "Since you want to fight the bandits, you will not come to the Northern Expedition."
"Northern Expedition?" Zhu Daneng's eyes lit up. Years of experience told him that Hu You were preparing to have a big fight.
Hu You nodded. Hu You had been considering this matter for a while. Over the past few months, he has been working hard to develop the economy, hoping to enable the Legion to strengthen its strength in all aspects.
However, the country was broken and the mountains and rivers were broken. In addition to the power of the Immortal Legion, the Mandala Empire had many rebels. Some of them really wanted to do something for the people, and some wanted to make a fortune through the troubled times. The two forces of the Red Company and Yang Lin were representatives.
The entire Mandala Empire is already full of holes. No matter how hard Hu You tried, the effect would not be great. It is good to rest and recuperate, but in such a chaotic world, Hu You can't get much.
Now that Qin Ming fought with the demons, he gave Hu You a chance. He decided to use the Northern Expedition point to wash the Mandala from south to north to complete the unification of the Mandala Empire.
Due to his own background, Hu You had a powerful army in the Mandala Empire, but he never thought of actively unifying the Mandala Empire. Over the years, Hu You has experienced quite a few wars, but strictly speaking, he is mainly defense, never actively provoking any large-scale wars, and never led such wars once.
He always felt that war has caused a lot of harm to the people, so he did everything possible, and he would not fight without fighting. In the past two months, Hu You has not done anything, just considering this series of issues.
Too many experiences told Hu You that without a unified country, it is impossible for the people to truly live a good life. Wars must be fought, and they must be fought. Only after a great chaos can they be ruled.
"Yes, it's the Northern Expedition!"
The Immortal Legion, which had been quiet for a year, finally started moving again. Hu You ordered Zhu Daneng and other five generals of the five armies in the east, west, south, north and middle to draw 20,000 most elite soldiers from the army to form a 100,000 Northern Expedition Army. Together with Hu You's personal guard camp, Hu You's total number of Northern Expedition Army this time was 100,000. One fifth of the combat power of the Immortal Legion.
According to Hu You's plan, this time the Northern Expedition Army will be led by Hu You personally, set out from the imperial capital Longcheng, and fight all the way north. The final target is Langtian, who will snatch Langtian back from Qin Ming's hands.
Hu You no longer considers so many things this time. The Immortal Legion and Qin Ming and the Demons will have a battle sooner or later. Since they can no longer avoid it, why not take the initiative to embrace the war?
Fight, if you lose, you can start over again. If you win, you can have a brand new Mandala empire.
Before the three armies moved, food and grass were the first to go. The most expensive thing to fight was money, and nothing could be done without money. The people of the Mandala Empire were so poor. Huang Jinfeng had done his best in the past year, but he could not get more money. The battle of 100,000 people was a waste of gold. Although Hu You had decided to use war to support the war, before the first battle, he had to get the money for the marching.
"You don't have to have a headache, I'll find a way."
Hu You left a word to Huang Jinfeng and turned around and left the coach's mansion. Hu You had already figured out the source of the money. Zhao Xin and others have enjoyed it for so many years, and it was time to vomit out.
Hu You and a few followers rushed to Zhao Xin's residence day and night.
The place where Zhao Xin lives is not so much a house, but a castle. The old man’s home is built against the mountain and the entire hill is wrapped in his castle. The huge castle is not crowded with 18,000 people.
"Young Marshal, you can come as soon as you say you want. I'm really not prepared at all."
Zhao Xin met Hu You in the long run, and his old face turned into a chrysanthemum.
"Gen. Zhao, don't be fine." Hu You laughed. Although they are partners, they often communicate with each other. Due to inconvenient transportation, they have disappeared for nearly half a year.
"It's okay, it's okay, how many years can this old bone last? Please please in, please in, please in..."
"General Zhao, your castle is so jealous." As we walked in, Hu You praised whatever he saw. Those praises were almost overflowing.
Zhao Xin was quite proud at the beginning. Gradually, he felt something was wrong. Hu You was not a local bun that had never seen the world. Although this castle was well built, it was not as high as the top. Hu You didn't need to do this.
He didn't know that Hu You had already made up his mind before coming here and beat Zhao Xin hard. Not only Zhao Xin, but also those who had a net worth similar to Zhao Xin. Before leaving the imperial capital, Hu You had already sent letters to them separately. These times they would come to Zhao Xin's place one after another.
"General Zhao, your place is so good. To be honest, I live somewhere and don't want to leave." Hu You bit the pig's feet in big mouth, as if he had never seen pork in his previous life. His vague voice squeezed out of his mouth, all with greasy greasy.
"If the young marshal likes, stay for a few more days." Zhao Xin said with a dry smile. He kept thinking about what Hu You were doing this trip.
Soon, he didn't have to guess. Hu You told him the answer directly.
Hu You shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, how can I have time to live here for a long time. I have to leave after taking the money."
Take money, what money?
Zhao Xin's head buzzed, he didn't remember when he owed Hu You money.
Hu You smiled and said, "You don't know about Old General Zhao, right? This time we came here to borrow money from you."
How fresh, I don’t know if I don’t say it.
Wait, borrow money? Hu You came to borrow money?
Nowadays, withdrawing money can hurt feelings. Zhao Xin hesitated and asked, "Are the young marshal ready to borrow money?"
"Well, Old General Zhao is really strong, so he can guess it so easily. I'm really sorry to say that I have an action recently, this money, it..."
Hu You said a long paragraph in a long way, and the theme was one word - poverty. As for his actions, he couldn't explain them clearly, Zhao Xinyu didn't know what he was going to do.
Zhao Xin's magnificent castle was filled with sorrow. All the partners who received Hu You's letter arrived. Looking at the long list of items listed by Hu You, these powerful veteran generals on the battlefield were almost as bitter as a bun.
"Brother Zhao, look at this matter..." The general was almost crying with his long documents.
Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "The Young Marshal has difficulties in the army, so he opened his mouth. How can we not lend it? Let's just do it. We all give each one, each one, and make up for the Young Marshal."
"Brother Zhao, do you think the young marshal really knows how to repay him?" Another general couldn't help asking.
All the eyes of the audience turned to him, and then they all turned away. Such questions were not needed. Have you heard of tigers borrowing pigs to repay them?
After coming out of Zhao Xin's castle, Hu You was happy. Why didn't you think of such a solution? Otherwise, if you had more partners, you wouldn't have to send it out.
When he came, he was empty-handed. When he left, he had all kinds of food, gold coins, clothes, medicines... Hu You came to fight Qiu Feng this time. He really took whatever he saw and wanted whatever he had. If he didn't pull it too hard, Hu You would probably have to demolish Zhao Xin's castle and pulled it back.
"I will give you a thousand miles away. You will eventually part. Dear generals, you don't need to send it." Hu You laughed and bowed to Zhao Xin and his partners, turned over and led the convoy away with great strides.
Finally, the plague god was sent away. Zhao Xin and his friends looked at each other and all breathed a sigh of relief. If they didn't leave, who knew what he wanted to borrow?
Before Hu You left Langtian, the troops of the Northern Expedition were already preparing. The preparations were under the responsibility of Wang Yiyou. This time, Wang Yiyou will participate in the Northern Expedition as Hu You's deputy general.
Hu You brought back a large amount of money and property, which was the last step in completing the preparation work. Without any rituals such as sacrifice to heaven, Hu You left the imperial capital with 100,000 elite soldiers.
The imperial capital Longcheng is located in Zhongzhou. Hu You's northern expedition began in Zhongzhou. After all, Zhongzhou is not far from the imperial capital. In addition, Yang Lin's troops and Red Border Army troops, which have been entrenched in Zhongzhou, have been eliminated separately earlier. The bandits and rebels in Zhongzhou have no great power. After Hu You left the imperial capital, he divided his troops into ten directions and fanned them like flowers to completely clean up the separatist forces in Zhongzhou.
A very small battle lasted for fifteen days. All the rebels in Zhongzhou were destroyed by Hu You, and a large number of financial robberies were reclaimed by various people.
I don’t know who the bandits robbed. These finances have no masters, so they naturally became Hu You’s military expenditure on the Northern Expedition. This money was used to supplement the battle consumption on the spot, and Hu You continued to rush his army north.
By this time, everyone else had already known what Hu You had to do.
When the bandits were wiped out, the happiest people were naturally the people. Zhao Xin and others felt relieved when they saw that Hu You were trying to raise military expenses to fight the bandits. They also felt that they were proud of Hu You's victory. Although they did not directly send troops to participate, they had money.
The bandits are the most anxious all day long. Over the years, they have been raising their talents through troubled times, and their strengths are uneven. If they want to fight Hu You head-on, most of them do not have the ability. It seems that this bandit can no longer be regarded as.
