When a passerby becomes a princess

There were four horse bandits who broke into Daliang country this time, and three of them had only 400 people. The largest one was almost the sum of the three, with more than 300 people.

Before Liang Xi left the house, Madam Liu, the former leader of the horse bandits, asked him what he planned to do with these horse bandits, whether to suppress them or recruit them?

In fact, Liang Xi also asked himself this question in his heart. If he wanted to suppress them, casualties would be unavoidable. Even though the raid battalion had 3000 people, it was equipped with the most advanced equipment, and there were various tactics against cavalry. The training time for the raid battalion was too short, but the horse bandits were a group of bandits who had been fighting on the grassland for many years and lived by looting. It was definitely not easy to wipe out these horse bandits.

But if he wanted to recruit these horse bandits, Liang Xi couldn't accept it from the bottom of his heart.

These four horse bandits broke into the territory of Daliang State for only half a month, and they robbed no less than ten townships, robbed property, killed villagers, raped women, and burned houses. Every time the frontier army arrived, they hid Into the Black Snake Swamp.The Black Snake Swamp is located in the northwest corner of Daliang Kingdom. It has a huge area and a very complicated terrain, and it is rich in a kind of black snake with strong poison. No one dares to enter that place except horse bandits, and the frontier army has nothing to do with them.

These horse bandits are different from Qiao Shanbao's horse bandits. Whether it is Qiao Shanbao, Zhang Shu, or Zheng Huang, they are all slaves captured by Beard and taken to the grassland, or the descendants of slaves. They hate Beard and only plunder Beard's tribe. I agree with Daliang country, no matter how hard it is, I will not enter Daliang country to plunder.

However, the composition of these horse bandits is very complicated. There are people from Daliang country, bearded people, people from Zangu country, and even people from Ouxi country. They don't care who they rob. A mouthful of fat, so these horse bandits must be wiped out, and they must be ruthlessly suppressed to deter other horse bandits on the grassland by killing chickens and monkeys.

Nanny Liu nodded, and took out a map to Liang Xi. It was a map of the Black Snake Swamp drawn by her. Before she joined the horse bandits, she lived alone in the Black Snake Swamp for more than two years. Everything about Snake Swamp is well known, even after many years, the memory is still fresh.Although she didn't like Liang Xi and wished he would die outside while suppressing the bandits, she couldn't bear Lin Qiu to be sad, so she had to spend a few nights drawing this map.

Looking at the map, the Black Snake Swamp is not all swamps. There are several mountains, a large expanse of quicksand, and even two lakes. There are six or seven places where hundreds or thousands of people can hide. , but there are two routes connecting these hiding places, one bright and one dark.Most of the horse bandits know the bright road and will definitely send people to guard it, but only Madam Liu, who has lived in the swamp for a long time, knows the dark road. There will be countless casualties.

Liang Xi was overjoyed when he got the map. Originally, he wanted to lure the horse bandits out of the swamp, but now that he had the map, he could directly rush into the swamp, and even directly into the horse bandits' lair.

Before he could thank Nanny Liu, more than a dozen carriages brought in new equipment.

A simple but oddly shaped helmet, a gauze garment, armor made of thick cloth, and a pair of leather boots.

Here, Liang Xi only knew the armor made of thick cloth. He had seen it in "Equipment" written by Lin Qiu. This kind of armor was called cotton armor, which was made of cotton.He picked up one and looked at it. Although it was not as heavy as iron armor, it was not as light as cotton, and it was basically the same weight as leather armor.In fact, the cotton armor was originally not that heavy, but because the cotton armor is not fireproof, Lin Qiu replaced the surface layer of cloth with fireproof asbestos cloth, which inevitably added a lot of weight.

Putting down the cotton armor, Liang Xi picked up the helmet again. For this helmet, Liang Xi can only describe it as "ugly".Only the generals of Daliang Kingdom would wear helmets, and they were usually made in a complicated and gorgeous way. Compared with defensive power, the role of helmets was more reflected in their status and aura.But the helmet in his hand is more like a round pot. Except for the face, the whole head is completely covered, and even the neck is blocked at the back.Although the appearance of this helmet is really unsatisfactory, but Liang Xi can tell from its thickness and shape, how tight the defense of this helmet is.

As for the gauze garment, Liang Xi only heard about it from Lin Bo. It seemed that he had such a gauze garment made of silk, hair and copper wire, which was said to be impenetrable even for arrows.Looking at the cart full of gauze clothes, Liang Xi calculated in his mind for the first time how much it would cost.

When Liang Xi picked up those boots in his hands, his eyes widened even more. On the surface they looked like plain leather boots, but they were very heavy. Only after asking did he find out that there was actually a layer of leather inside the boots. The movable steel plate protects from the toe to the calf, so you don't have to worry about poisonous snakes in swamps and grasslands.

Before Lin Qiu returned to Beijing, he had already arranged for people to make these things, and it was only now that they were all made, which happened to be used for Liang Xi's first battle of opening the door.

The night before he left, Liang Xi threw the little prince into the rooms of several nuns, and hugged Lin Qiu to death for almost a whole night.Until dawn, Liang Xi finally stopped. He held Lin Qiu tightly in his arms, and kept kissing his forehead, bridge of nose, eyes... Kissing every part of his body. His princess is his beloved wife. No matter what decision he makes, she will always support him silently behind her back and prepare everything for him. He only needs to gallop ahead to realize his dream.

"Qiu'er, thank you." Liang Xi kissed Lin Qiu's eyes full of doubts because of his words.Yes, no matter how much Qiu'er has done for himself, he always takes it for granted, and he doesn't even need to say thank you. Liang Xi didn't understand it before, but now he understands that it can only be done if there is no distinction between each other's affection, not without asking for anything in return , but never thought that there is such a thing as "return".

When the sky was bright, Liang Xi got up and tucked the quilt for Lin Qiu, put on his clothes lightly and left, but he didn't know that at the moment he opened the door to leave, Lin Qiu, who was already asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, Silently watching his back.

"War smoke rises, the river and mountains look north. The dragon rolls up, the horse neighs, and the sword is like frost. The heart is like a white river. In 20 years, who can resist..."

More than 3000 people sang "Serving the Country With Loyalty" adapted by Lin Qiu. Although the style of this song was completely different from that sung by artists from Daliang Kingdom, everyone could hear the seriousness and publicity in the song, and heard the The kind of firmness and soulfulness in the lyrics.

Regarding Lin Qiu's various talents, Liang Xi went from curiosity and surprise at the beginning to pride and habit now.It’s just that sometimes he is very troubled. Lin Qiu is too dazzling. His name has been widely spread along with "Mulan Song", "Journey to the West" and the just-serial "White Snake", and because of terraced fields and waterwheels. Constantly praised by the people... It can be said that Lin Qiu's fans are really all over every corner of Daliang country.

Let’s just say that in his raid camp, there were many young people who were inspired by "Mulan Ci" and then went to join the army.Lin Qiu accompanied Liang Xi to live in the raid camp. Although it was located in the most corner, he rarely went out, but Liang Xi clearly noticed that every time those young people looked at the place where he lived, there was always something in their eyes. With admiration and enthusiasm, Liang Xi's jealousy kept churning, wishing to hide Lin Qiu, so that no one could see it except him.

No more gossip, just say that Liang Xi called a few of his subordinates, and together they analyzed the map drawn by Madam Liu.

Song Fu is the eldest grandson of Song Zixu. He was instructed by his grandfather since he was a child. He has a much better understanding of military tactics than Liang Xi. Since he brought his husband and wife Mu Qing to northern Xinjiang last year, he has started preparing for a raid camp. Mu Qing bought war horses in various ways, and selected healthy and strong mares to mate with stallions. Now most of the mares are pregnant, and Mu Qing must stay in the camp to take care of them, so this time she came out to suppress the bandits. Only Song Fu and three instructors followed.

Zeng Sheng and Chang Pu were only proficient in archery and horsemanship, but knew nothing about the art of war. Only Lin Cheng's art of war was taught by Lin Lian and honed for a long time in the northern Xinjiang camp. And more.

Liang Xi thought for a while, and then called the two former deputy leaders of the horse bandits. Regarding the horse bandits, only these former horse bandits knew best.After a year and a half, Zhang Shu and Zheng Huang have gradually lost the hostility of being a horse bandit, and their mentality has also begun to change. He gained military exploits in the bandit suppression, and Hao was officially promoted to a hundred households.

Zhang Shu briefly introduced the four horse bandit teams. They are also the most famous horse bandits on the grassland, and they are called "Huapiwolves" by many horse bandits.Don't look at that although they are independent, they are actually controlled by the largest horse bandit team. If you want to wipe out the horse bandits, you can only kill their minions first, and then kill them with one blow.

Song Fu was about to say something after hearing this, but was pulled back by Lin Cheng. Song Fu raised his eyebrows to look at Lin Cheng, only to see that Lin Cheng looked at Liang Xi and said nothing.

After a while, Liang Xi pointed to a place on the map near the Black Snake Swamp, and said, "The horse bandits just robbed a caravan near here four days ago, and the goods of the caravan were mainly cloth and salt. They can sell things with a high price on the grassland, so they will definitely enter the Black Snake Swamp from the nearest entrance, and temporarily hide these things..." He pondered for a while, pointing to a mountain and said, "It should be Here, Yanba is most afraid of water, so they will not live in lakes and wetlands, only this area is the driest in Black Snake Swamp, and according to the map, there are many caves on the mountain where horse bandits can hide."

Lin Cheng showed a slight smile, and Song Fu also understood why Lin Cheng wanted to pull him.

For the battlefield, the current crown prince is like a child who has just learned to walk. Maybe he has enough talent, but without training he will never be able to walk, let alone run in the future.
