Chapter 1335
The craftsman's suggestion made Ying Yi's eyes shine, and said, "This idea is very good."
He pondered that Bibo Valley and Crescent Moon Valley are very important, There are omissions in only one checkpoint, and he said: "Bibo Valley goes to the outside of the mountain, set up a checkpoint, and set up a checkpoint between Bibo Valley and Crescent Valley, and set up a checkpoint on the other side of Crescent Valley. You Think about it for a while, and then tell Xiucai that this is what I mean."
The craftsman hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the lord, the villain knows."
Ying Yi nodded: "Then you guys I'm busy."
Farewell to the exploration team, Ying Yi walked out of the forest quickly, and Xiaowangzhuang was already in sight.
Standing on the hill, right and left of the dry stream outside Xiaowangzhuang, there are three large phalanxes practicing military formations. Also small, only a few dozen people, but not practicing the army formation, but practicing the killing method and strength, that is the night does not accept the scout team.
Usually, half of it will be thrown out if it is not harvested at night, and it will be practiced and practiced alternately. Right now.
The army was training in a frenzy, Ying Yi watched it for a while, and couldn't help but feel satisfied when he didn't see anyone who was lazy.
Actually, Ying Yi himself didn't realize how much his army was treated. In addition to strict training, strict military law, and other various treatments, it can be said to be the best of the era. There are also some military households like Zhu Bingkun. They have a deep understanding of how bad the rotten military household system is. And also part of it is the people who were once compiled by the five hundred households in Yexian County, and Zhengxian Zun compiled and trained them. Although they can eat enough, they don't need to say what they are treated, no.
And the rest are commoners who can't afford to eat. Now that I can eat enough every day, and I can also get military pay every month, what's not to be dissatisfied with?
In addition, Ying Yi is tyrannical, and being a soldier under a tyrannical person is naturally more recognized.
Being a soldier is not a child's play. It is not a lie to put Xiongxiong into a nest.
Ying Yi let out a sigh of relief and happily went to Xiaowangzhuang.
Now this army is gradually improving. Various military legal systems, seventeen laws and fifty-four cuts, military judges, logistics officers, etc., are well-structured. Officers at all levels learn the basics of command such as semaphore and drum language, and they are coming to an end. In addition, the whole army competes every ten days. It should be loose and tight, and a certain atmosphere has been formed.
Ying Yi believes that once he is on the battlefield, he will surely grow into an elite soldier as long as he goes through a bloody baptism or two.
Arriving at Xiaowangzhuang, Ying Yi walked around for a while, watching the training, until after dark, and disbanded after dinner.
"Zhang Baihu is back."
Soon after dinner, Zhang Shi came back.
"Sir!"
Zhang Shi gave a salute.
Ying Yi waved his hand: "Sit down and talk."
Zhu Bingkun and Zhou Li were also on the side.
"How is the situation now?"
Ying Yi asked without being wordy.
These days, movements in the direction of Wuyang and Yuzhou have been under constant surveillance at night. Every night, Zhang Shi returned with a lot of news.
The band of thieves who came from Kaifeng in the north at the beginning, after being stationed in the south of Yexian City for one night, went directly south, first to Wuyang to join with Hao Yaoqi, and a few days later they split up again. Yuzhou.
Hao Yaoqi has been stationed near Erlang Mountain in Wuyang.
Huguang soldiers are located in Yuzhou.
Now the two sides are confronting each other, and there are occasional small-scale confrontations, but there is no major battle for the time being.
"Liu Zongmin's bandit soldiers fought against Huguang soldiers at the foot of Yuzhou City last night, and they left without fighting. There are signs of reaching Yuzhou, maybe after joining forces, they will start a war with the Huguang soldiers in Yuzhou."
Ying Yi listened, thought for a while, and said, "I am afraid that is the case. Yuzhou's soldiers How many people are there in the Huguang soldiers?"
Zhang Shi said: "I'm about to report to your lord. The main force of the Huguang soldiers has already arrived, just last night."
"No wonder the thieves have been involved. Let's go now." Ying Yi said, "How many people are there?"
"No more than 40,000." Zhang Shi said, "I see that the big banner erected at the top of the city has been replaced with T-characters. , it should be Governor Ding Qirui."
"Ding Qirui has arrived, and the entire Huguang army must have arrived." Zhu Bingkun on the side said.
Ying Yi nodded: "Ding Qirui dare not turn a blind eye to the two million troop pay. Otherwise, Zuo Liangyu will definitely not give him a good face."
Zhou Li laughed: " I'm afraid they don't know that these military salaries are already owned by adults."
Ying Yi laughed: "These military salaries are still in the hands of the county magistrate..."
Everyone laughed stand up.
Zhang Shidao: "Perhaps I really don't know the specific situation. Hao Yaoqi's team seems to have blocked the Bright Gown Guard in Erlang Mountain, and he has not been able to escape. Because he did not dare to get too close, It is unclear if they have all been wiped out. But if the Bright Gown Guard is wiped out, the Huguang soldiers must think that the army's salary has fallen into the hands of the thieves."
"Zhao Qianhu did not escape?" Ying Yi couldn't help but startled.
At the beginning, Zhao Qianhu led people to hold back the bandit soldiers, while Ying Yi took away the army's salary. I thought that Zhao Qianhu could get away, but now I hear what Zhang Shi said, but it is not.
Ying Yi thought about it, the bandits at that time were mainly cavalry, or Zhao Qianhu really couldn't get out.
Remembering that Hao's flag-waving troops and horses have been in Erlang Mountain these days, Ying Yi couldn't help but said, "I'm afraid Zhao Qianhu really didn't escape..."
Zhang Shi nodded: "probability is not small."
"This is also a good thing." Ying Yi laughed: "Hao Yaoqi worked hard to annihilate Zhao Qianhu, but got dozens of carts of stones. The Huguang soldiers came so quickly, he must have thought that the army salaries had already arrived in the hands of the Huguang soldiers. And the Huguang soldiers also thought that Hao Yaoqi had intercepted the troops transporting the army salaries and got the army salaries. In this way, we were taken out instead.”
A few people think about it, and that's really the case.
Zhou Li said: "Ye County has been burned to white ground. After so many days, the Huguang soldiers must have known about it. Even if the Bright Gown Guard escaped to the Huguang soldiers, they would have thought that the thieves had broken through. If you go to Ye County, the army's salary must fall into the hands of the thieves. The thieves will definitely be held."
"The thieves will also hold the Huguang soldiers." Zhu Bingkun added: "Unless the thieves The soldiers captured Zhao Qianhu, and learned from him that it was the adults who took away the army's salaries."
Ying Yi nodded: "There should be no, otherwise the thieves will definitely not have a pointless confrontation with the Huguang soldiers, but instead It will come to us like a mad dog. This is really good news..." As he spoke, Ying Yi thought in his heart: "Now Wang Zhongguan is dead, Zhao Qianhu is probably also dead, and Zheng Xianzun has also become my father-in-law. Mount Tai, in this way, the issue of military pay is really fooled. The thieves thought the pay was in the hands of the officers, and the officers thought the pay was taken by the thieves...hehe..."
plainly said: "Zhang Shi, keep your eyes open and pay attention to the direction of Kaifeng. If the guess is true, I think the thief will send more troops to the south."
He said to Zhu Bingkun and Zhou Li: "We It's time to step up. It's almost time to get the chestnut out of the fire."
