Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 99
In July of the second year of Zhonghe, Wang Chucun, the military governor of Yiwu, and Li Keyong's family were related by marriage for generations, so he came forward to turn him around.

It just so happened that the imperial court was trying to transfer troops to Guanzhong, so they asked the king to deposit a message for Li Keyong: "If the money is sincere, it is appropriate to return to Shuozhou as soon as the court orders. ."

Li Keyong was more obedient this time, and immediately led his troops away from Xin and Dai Erzhou, and went to Shuozhou to stand by.Shi Helian Duo, who was defending the Datong Army, did not want Li Ke to use the army to enter the country, but Wang Duo, the soldiers and horses who were camping in all directions in the capital, rushed to the river in person, and under the pressure of the imperial court order, let Helian Duo let him enter.

At this time in Huazhou, the matter of persuading Li Xiang anyway has entered the final stage.

"General Li, my family has won many battles after staying here, isn't it a hundred times stronger than Wang Chongrong's guard dog?" Li Hang, a lobbyist recommended by Chen Cheng, talked eloquently in front of everyone: "Zhu Wen has been promised by the king's servant, and he will still serve as a member of the Tonghua Festival. Du envoy. Since the general is in charge of Huazhou, it can be said that it is a certainty that the general will be appointed as the prefect of Huazhou in the Tang Dynasty, so why doubt it?”

Li Xiang is a sad old man who looks like an honest farmer.However, if he could follow Huang Chao all the way to Guanzhong, how could he be an ordinary character?I don't know how many lives there are.

This kind of butcher, Li Hang didn't dare to take a second look at it when he changed it to normal times.But now it is different. He came to be a lobbyist on behalf of Shao Shude after Xia Sui Jiedu stayed. There are [-] Xia Sui elite soldiers in Xia Sui County on the other side of the river. How dare you take him.

"I don't know what your envoy is. King Huang has placed a lot of people in our army. If I return to Tang Dynasty, I may not be able to make everyone obey." Li Xiang said with a sad face.

"Is the general playing with me!" Li Hang raised his voice and said with an unhappy face: "This is Huazhou, not Chang'an. The general has been in the army for many years, and there are tens of thousands of people. How many people are committed to Huang Chao? If not It's convenient, but the general can open the camp door, and this person will send a letter to the two generals Weibei Zhou and Linghu, and order them to lead [-] Xia Sui elite troops to the south to kill the thieves for the general."

Li Xiang squatted on the Maza with a scowling face, not like a general at all.If Shao Shude was here, he would most likely have to give him a stick of dry tobacco, a typical old farmer in northern Shaanxi.

"Don't be restless, your envoy." Li Xiang smiled, pushing away the old folds on his face, and said, "Let's go down and rest for a while, and then think about it."

After that, let someone take Li Hang down.Li Hang stomped his feet in anger and sighed.

"General, this is the end of the matter, and there is no future for following King Huang. After the spring, at least 10,000 to [-] Tang troops will join the Kanto, and there may be more in the future. By the end of the year, [-]+ Tang troops will gather. How can Huang Wang be against?" The Ministry will advise.

"But why did you surrender Shao Shude? This man is the commander of Xia Sui, who is far away in the northern border, but Wang Chongrong in the river is so close at hand, why not surrender him?"

"The last will hear that Shao Shude has no children, so he will be surrendered. If Shao dies, we are afraid that we will not end well."

"What's the use of having children? He is so young, even if he has children, he is still a child. It is good to be alive, no one dares to oppose him, if he dies, there are no relatives and brothers, who knows who will fall into the hands of this handsome Xia Sui? What's the future for us to follow him?"

"Wang Yu, talk about it." Li Xiang listened for a long time, but did not express his opinion. Instead, he clicked, wanting to hear his opinion.

"The town envoy, I feel that Wang Chongrong is not like a hero, a dog who guards the household." Wang Yu, a valiant general in Li Xiang's army, was known for his bravery.

Li Xiang laughed when he heard the words, and said, "I was beaten by the Tie Lin army?"

Wang Yulue was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "Last year, Wang Chongrong led his troops westward, and the last general led [-] soldiers to camp on the road, and they fought against him, smashing his former army, beheading [-] ranks, if Zhu Mei hadn't arrived, he would have killed this generation. A certain person does not want to surrender Wang Chongrong, and his subordinates are defeated."

After that, he looked at the rest of the generals and said, "If you surrender to Wang Chongrong, go and surrender yourself. I heard that Shao Shude does not treat people harshly. Li Tangbin is also a general. If you want to surrender, you will be a real hero. Wang Chongrongzhi Senior, I still don't look down on it."

Wang Yu's words made many people dissatisfied, but under the prestige, no one dared to confront him in front of him.The title of General Xiao is not a self-proclaimed one, but a type that came out. Who in the audience has not suffered from him?To put it in a nasty way, if the envoy Li Xiang died at this time, and one person was elected as the leader in the army, it could only be Wang Yu, not them.

"Forget it. Wang Chongrong is also a little bit despised. Shao Shude is so capable of fighting, and he will probably be promoted in the future, so what if he is demoted?" Li Xiang stood up and said, "Zhu Wen was the first to demote Wang Chongrong, If we can get all kinds of benefits, let's join in the fun now, I'm afraid we will be coldly treated."

"Wang Yu." Li Xiang said with a straight face.

"The end is here."

"Order [-] elite soldiers and go to the prison army mansion, no matter who they are, they will be killed, and no one can escape." Li Xiang ordered.

"The last will obey."

"Invite Li Hang over again." Li Xiang sat down and returned to his frowning look just now.

******
Chen Cheng, who was sitting in Xiagui, quickly received a letter of nomination from Li Xiang: the head of Huang Chao's army.

The lobbyist Li Hang remained in Li Xiangjun, not knowing whether it was voluntary or forced.But this is a trivial matter, Chen Cheng informed Zhou Rong and Linghu Jing, and then rushed back to Sanyuan.

"After staying, Li Xiang will come down." As soon as he saw Shao Shude, Chen Cheng said excitedly.

"Okay!" At that time, Shao Shude was studying the military book and taking notes. Hearing this, he threw the pen and got up and said, "Can you make it go west?"

"A certain has delivered news to Li Xiang, and immediately raised his troops to move westward, seize Weiqiaocang and Weiqiao Town, and threaten Meng Kai's side. Zhou Rong and Linghujing will also follow closely and lead their troops westward. , this time Meng Kai is in trouble." Chen Cheng smiled.

"Good! Good! Good!" Shao Shude said "good" three times in a row. Obviously, it made sense to send Chen Cheng to make an "immediate decision". Without any delay, Meng Kai would be panicked.

Zhu Wen was dropped, Li Xiang was dropped, and the half of the Guanzhong area belonged to Datang.The eight counties in the north are still in the hands of the camp in the north, and the nine counties in the west are seeing each other in three days. Shang Rang and others are still leading 5 people to fight with the camp in the west.It is better in the south, the army is weak, but there are more than [-] people.

Considering the background that reinforcements from the Guandong, Shuzhong, and Northwest towns gathered in Chaoguanzhong, how long could Huang Chao be able to jump around?

"Wei Boqiu, send the order down, someone wants to inspect the army!" Shao Shude didn't wait any longer and gave the order directly.

"As ordered." Wei Boqiu quickly went down to give the order.

In the afternoon, Shao Shude took his personal soldiers to the parade outside the camp.

Eight thousand five hundred sergeants (owing five hundred), in addition to some auxiliary soldiers who stayed in the city, more than six thousand lined up outside.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the drums suddenly started, and the horns continued to sound.

Shao Shude stood on the high platform surrounded by his own soldiers.

Li Yanling, Lu Huaizhong, Zhu Shuzong, Li Tangbin, Guo Qi, Zhe Siyu and the battalion lieutenants stepped forward one by one.Go down and then press the roll call, and those who can't be called three times will be killed.

After the name was called, Wei Boqiu came to report, more than [-] people, none of them were absent.

At that time, the northwest wind suddenly picked up, the leaves were falling, and this year's autumn came very early.

More than [-] sergeants were wearing armor and holding lances. There was no noise or impatience. The formation was neat and murderous.

Shao Shude thought of Tian Chengsi inexplicably.This man was the vanguard of An Lushan during the An-Shi Rebellion, made many military exploits, and at the same time was also a good player in governing the army.On a snowy night, Anlu Mountain patrolled the camp, and when he arrived at the camp of Tian Chengsibu, it was silent, and he almost thought that there was no one in the camp.

An Lushan immediately ordered troops.The soldiers in the battalion will line up in the open space, and they will be called according to the book, and no one will be absent.Moreover, the soldiers stood for a long time in the wind and snow, and there was no noise at all. This is called a strong army!
Tie Linjun, now there is a bit of this weather.The amount of goods is regularly disclosed and read out to the sergeants. On several festivals a year, rewards are handed out on time.The spoils of war obtained after the victory of the battle were also uniformly catalogued and stored as a wartime reward, and the soldiers were very convinced.

Other armies practice every five days, or even ten days and a half months, while the Tielin Army exercises every three days.Food, wine and meat are provided as much as possible. So far, 5000 people have been assigned to the land, and the production of military farms is also providing pensions and subsidies for everyone.The death of a lonely sergeant is not in vain. The military envoy will search for adopted sons for them, and the incense and sacrifices will continue.

This army is no ordinary army!The enemy generals who fought for the first time were always amazed at why their morale was so high.In fact, as long as you do the above, you can also create a strong army.Famous generals in ancient times have long pointed out the way for everyone. How to increase the limit that soldiers can bear, but it is easier said than done. How many generals will not be greedy for money?

My sergeant can bear more fear than you, and can endure greater casualties. Once the two armies confront each other, the result is obvious. It should be noted that there is not much difference in the skills of everyone, not to mention that the Tielin army is basically veterans.

"Li Yanling!" Shao Shude glanced at him, fortunately, this guy lost a little fat, not so fat.

"The end is here!"

"The people gave two pieces of money and two pieces of silk, and there were also soldiers in the city."

"As ordered!"

The baggage battalion quickly moved the goods out, and each department called the names and distributed them according to the books.In fact, this is also a way to eliminate empty pay. Now that there are fewer people, this can be done.In the future, there will be more people, so I have to think of other tricks.

Every sergeant who received the reward was elated and shouted "Thank you, Commander Xie" and "Xie Junshi".Li Yanling also led people to keep preaching, "You have received the reward of Shao Dashuai", "I want to die for Shao Dashuai", the army shouted in succession, and the morale was high.

The battle is coming, and the morale of the Tielin army has improved a bit.

　The editor has confirmed with me that this book will be on the shelves at 52 o'clock this week. I hope everyone can help me to make a show, and the first order will start, thank you.
