Chapter four hundred and seventieth attack camp(1/2)

"Brother Li, will it be okay if we go to General Zhao to recruit soldiers with such a big fanfare?" Wang Ping said with some anxiety.

After all, this was a military camp, with soldiers and horses everywhere, but he still felt a little uneasy.

Li Xiuyuan was calm and said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. It's just a general soldier. Although there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there are less than 10,000 elites who can fight. And with these soldiers joining the army, partial generals

They don't have the courage to do anything because they can't afford the price.

, Besides, Mr. Zhao is unconscious now, and I have this document written by Mr. Zhao himself, so they can only act according to the order."

"I know the minds of these faint-hearted officials. If there is any benefit, they will do it. If it does not, they will be timid. They have no courage and courage. They do not seek no merit but seek no fault."

"Brother Li's words make sense." Wang Ping nodded in agreement.

Just like when we were in Guo Beicheng, when encountering floods or plagues, those officials would run faster than anyone else, because controlling floods and plagues is a thankless task. Good governance should be rewarded, and poor governance will result in dismissal from office.

It's better to find peace and run away, and then pretend not to know, just to protect yourself.

Chill.

Soon, Junjun and several generals walked out of the military tent. Although his official position was higher than that of Li Xiuyuan, he was a person who was very aware of current affairs. Knowing that Li Xiuyuan's army was approaching at this moment, he did not dare to put on any airs.

Instead, he bowed his hands respectfully.

"Since General Li has a personal letter from the Commander-in-Chief, let's do it according to the Commander-in-Chief's wishes, and order three thousand troops to hand over to General Li." Joining the army gave a signal, and then a general came out.

"Please wait a moment, General Li. I will send 3,000 troops to you right now."

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said: "No, leave this matter to my subordinates. The document says there are three thousand elite soldiers. I don't want to be perfunctory by three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, Han Meng.

"

"My subordinate is here." A burly man wearing golden armor came out on horseback with fists clasped.

"Take your men and horses and go to the army to kill three thousand people." Li Xiuyuan said: "In addition, tell them that the monthly payment is one tael per month, three taels during the war, and a pension of twenty taels after death in battle. The general will pay for the soldiers and horses.

Prepare for them."

My Li Jiajun's monthly salary is five taels during wartime and two taels during non-wartime.

His treatment of these people should be a little worse. Only if there is a gap can he appease the hearts of his old troops.

However, the pension after death in battle is the same.

This tells them that as long as they work hard for themselves, they will treat everyone equally and will not treat them differently.

"Yes, I understand." Han Meng retaliated with a punch, then led his troops to order three thousand elite soldiers.

Talking about soldiers is actually recruiting troops blatantly in the military camp.

A man who is capable and wants to be rich will naturally be tempted.

If you are not moved by this, then you are just a coward waiting to die, and there is no use in coming.

"General Li, this seems to be against the rules." Joining the Army's expression changed and he said hurriedly.

If we really want to send out three thousand elite soldiers, the commander-in-chief will have to wake up and curse himself to death.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile but not a smile: "Rules? This is strange. I just follow the rules. Are the rules of this military veteran different from General Zhao's rules? Or maybe the military veteran wants to use the rules again.

Are you perfunctory with me? If that's the case, then I would like this participant to

Lord Jun, let’s test the strength of my Li family’s army.”

His face turned cold when he said the following: "I can defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin, but I wonder what the combat strength of the tens of thousands of troops here is?"

It's clearly a threat.

It doesn’t matter how big or small your official position is, the size of your fist is the reason.

This is what happens when a scholar encounters a soldier and cannot explain why.

The soldier's face turned pale and he was at a loss for words. He didn't know how to answer. Although he was ashamed and annoyed, he was unable to fight back.

I can only think about writing a memorial and going to the Ministry of War to get a copy of Li Xiuyuan.

Soon, three thousand elite soldiers were fired up. Li Xiuyuan took a look. Although his face was sallow and thin, his uniforms were in tatters, and most of his weapons were old, he at least had a ruthless air and a ruthless look. He could tell at a glance that he was in the military camp.

A ruthless character.

The brave men under General Zhao's command may not even have enough to eat. Who knows how much military pay General Zhao has withheld.

Of course, this is also the norm in the military.

"Let's go to General Sun's military camp." Li Xiuyuan glanced at him: "The new recruits' armor and weapons will be issued after a period of time. After registration, they will receive three months of military pay."

As soon as these words came out, many of the new soldiers looked surprised.

Giving away three taels of silver in one breath is life-saving money for many people whose families are poor and cannot take the blame. If you save some money, you can live for half a year. If you use it as a subsidy, you can live much more comfortably next year.

Moreover, weapons and armor are still issued directly.

Mr. Zhao, you have to pay for the better weapons here.

Many soldiers felt that joining a good general was at least much better than General Zhao's place. They didn't have to work hard, got nothing, and didn't even get a single winter coat in the winter.

"Farewell, see you later, but the second thing you promised has been forgotten. To withdraw from Jinling City and return to your own station. Deployment of troops without orders will be considered a crime of treason," Li Xiuyuan glanced coldly at the man.

Join the army and generals.

It is impossible to expect these people to quell the chaos.

They will only add to the chaos, and maybe even encourage the thieves, thinking that the imperial troops are nothing more than this.

Only by acting on your own can the armies of Li Liangjin, Shi Hu, and Hua Gu be defeated in one blow. If they were replaced by other general soldiers, they would die.

How can a mere faint-hearted official punish a thousand-year-old monster?

The army was dispatched, with iron hooves rolling, and headed towards General Sun's military camp.

Dust was flying all over the sky, and tens of thousands of soldiers left, which made some officers in General Zhao's barracks breathe a sigh of relief.

When they arrived at Mr. Sun's military camp, they just followed the same pattern. And because Mr. Zhao honestly sent out three thousand elite soldiers, Mr. Sun agreed to join the army without even thinking about it.

Just like that, Li Xiuyuan gained 6,000 shabby, sallow and skinny infantry.

"The last remaining General Qian hasn't visited yet." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, and golden light appeared.

He saw General Qian's military camp sharpening his knives and preparing all his bows and crossbows. A messenger soldier left the camp and rushed here.

"How old are we? We are still playing Hongmen Banquet. Yesterday, the Ghost King under my command had already seen the plan of Chief Qian. He didn't expect that he really planned to set an ambush to kill me today. Is Chief Soldier Qian stupid because of his studies?

Look at whose territory is outside Jinling City, and set up an ambush in my territory to kill me.

Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled in his heart.

Even if he didn't use his magic, he knew what General Qian was planning.

The territory of Yangzhou is full of ghosts and gods under his command, and there is nothing he doesn't know about.

Li Liangjin, Hua Gu, Shi Hu, and even the Yangtze River King, the Eight Great Kings, and all the ghosts and ghosts in the mountains and fields were all very clear to him.

All the information is recorded.

"But I have to go to the Hongmen Banquet, otherwise the scene will go on like this?" Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

He ordered: "Xing Shan, you lead a group of people over there to intercept the messenger who came out of General Qian's barracks, and capture him alive without harming his life."

"Yes, sir." Xing Shan nodded in agreement, ordered a group of people, and immediately left the group and ran out.

Sure enough, he soon followed the direction pointed by Li Xiuyuan and saw three soldiers riding out from the direction of the military camp and heading towards Jinling City.

"Wha~!"

After catching up, Xing Shan rode his horse, took up his bow, and shot an arrow.

A strong horse in the distance immediately screamed and fell to the ground, and the soldier who was seeing him off also screamed and fell to the ground hard.

"Good archery skills, you can hit the head of a galloping horse with one arrow from such a long distance." The captain couldn't help shouting.

Xing Shan remained silent and shot two more arrows, and the remaining two horses also fell to the ground.

"Go and capture the three of them and go back to recover." Xing Shan said.

"Look at me." The captain shouted, and he rushed over with his men and horses. When he came to the soldier, he bent down and fished it out, and captured the soldier who didn't understand what was going on.

On horseback.

The movements are smooth and smooth, done in one go.

It can be seen that the equestrian skills are good.

This is the advantage of escorts joining the army. Almost all of them can ride horses and have experience in horse fighting. They don't need to train for too long to develop combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, a cavalry unit cannot be completed without a year of training.

"Let's go back." Seeing this, Xing Shan immediately led his troops back.

After a while, Li Xiuyuan got a letter.

Above is a letter written by General Qian. It is all polite. At the end, he stated that he would withdraw from Jinling City today and asked General Li to come and accept three thousand soldiers.

"Wang Ping, look at how hypocritical these weak officials in the imperial court are." Li Xiuyuan handed the letter to Wang Ping: "Do you know that Commander Qian has set up an ambush and is preparing to kill me?"
