With the levy order issued by the Chinese and Foreign Governments, the armies have been gathering for a few days. Li Tai has been checking military supplies for several days, and today he finally took the time to go into the camp and inspect it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also brought Wang Gu, the Jiangling envoy who was still here as a guest, with him. Wang Gu was a Buddhist and a vegetarian, and the Hongbin Tower's hospitality for many days did not seem to have much effect, so he simply asked him to take a look at Jingzhou.
Are the General Manager's soldiers sharp?
After the Battle of Huainan ended last year, there were no major wars within the jurisdiction of the General Administration. Even if there were military operations, they were mostly small-scale sporadic battles to suppress bandits and pacify the rebellious barbarians.
After nearly a year of recuperation, all the armies were full of energy. When they learned that another combat mission had been issued, all the generals came forward one after another to ask for battle. The series of wars since Li Tai's debut had already planted a seed of hope among his soldiers.
They have the belief that they will be victorious in every battle, and they are also very eager to make achievements and become famous in the next war.
With this mentality, in today's martial arts exercises, all the troops also performed with great care and attention as much as in real battlefield battles. Naturally, their performances were very impressive.
Li Tai watched all the way, and his heart was full of pride. He wanted to copy one or two poems to boost his morale, but after all, he was not a professional, and he couldn't do much on the spot. Most of the military themes that came to his mind were from the Tang Dynasty, not from the Tang Dynasty.
Very relevant to the moment.
On the other hand, Wang Gu, who was a guest at the ceremony, wrote a song "Yan Ge Xing" on the spot. Although Li Tai thought his level was average, he still described and praised today's martial arts scene, so he took out a Mian.
The long knives forged and produced in Bei will be presented to Wang Gu.
However, before the knife was delivered to Wang Gu, a shout of "Save someone under the knife" was heard outside the school grounds, which made him a little confused.
Not long after, Wang Fan, the guy who broke into the school grounds and violated the ban, was captured and dragged all the way to the ordering platform.
Under Wang Gu's explanation with an embarrassed look on his face, Li Taicai thought of Wang Sengbian's son who had been left behind. It's not that he didn't pay enough attention to it, it's just that everything is more important than this recently, so
I didn't take it into consideration for a while.
"You are the son of the leader of the King of Jiangling? Not to mention your violation of the camp ban, what is the meaning of the rumbling words just now?"
Li Tai stood on the high platform, looking down at Wang Fan who was exhausted below the stage and asked in a deep voice.
Wang Yan was already sweating on his forehead at this moment. Until now, Wang Gu was still standing on the stage intact, and his body and head were not missing. He still didn't understand that he had misunderstood just now. But today
With thousands of soldiers watching on the campus, the misunderstanding was difficult to explain for a while, so Wang Huan just lowered his head in silence and said nothing.
After waiting for a while but no answer, Li Tai snorted coldly. He walked down the high platform slowly and sat down under the tent next to the school ground. Then he had Wang Fan escorted in and looked at the young man who still refused to speak.
He sneered and said: "You see that the troops in our town are well prepared, and they seem to be preparing for war. Therefore, you are suspicious that I will use Jiangling's military strategy. Today, I will kill the envoys and sacrifice the flag here, right?"
After Wang Fan heard this, he suddenly showed a look of shock on his face. Soon after, he hurriedly lowered his head, but he no longer remained silent, but said in a solemn voice: "The common people are stupid and narrow-minded, and they overestimate the ambition of the general. What a crime.
I am imprisoned in the camp, and I am willing to accept the punishment. I only ask the general to be lenient and tolerant, and never give up..."
"You are a child who dares to admit your mistakes and be punished. But do you know what kind of punishment you should receive in our army if you break the camp rules?"
When Li Tai heard this, his expression softened slightly, and then he asked again.
"The general manages the army strictly and has observed it before entering the camp. All military orders are prohibited, and the punishments and rewards must be extreme. If you violate the camp prohibitions, you may be punished with death. Although the common people are not afraid of death, I beg you to beg those who don't know.
To serve as a reprieve, to sacrifice one's life, and to make meritorious deeds. But if there is any merit, it all belongs to the general. If you can kill an enemy, you will live up to the obligation of surrendering!"
Wang Yan paused and bowed his head to the ground. His tone was hesitant and trembling at first, but by the end he became firm.
Li Tai originally had no intention of killing the man, and he only wanted to intimidate him by asking this question. But after hearing Wang Fan's answer, he couldn't help but feel surprised, raised his hand and ordered: "Untie him."
After Wang Huan was released, he put his hands on the ground and waited for punishment.
"Stand up."
Li Tai first signaled to the king to exempt him from the gift, and then said with a smile: "Now that you have reached this point, your father must have informed you of his previous intentions. Although we have no relatives here, who husband is willing to be a dog guarding the house under the fence?
When I entered Kansai, I was not as old as you are now, so why didn't I have no relatives? But now that I have come, I will be at ease. With such determination, why can't I stand out!"
Wang Yan was still a little nervous at first, worried that Li Tai might hold him accountable, but he still had his heart set on Jiangling. But after hearing these words, he felt greatly inspired and instantly found the spiritual compatibility between himself and General Li.
, Xuan Ji bowed deeply and said: "How dare a common man compare himself to a great general? He just follows the example, but to be able to get one or two of his talents, he is deeply honored and comforts his whole life!"
Li Tai laughed when he heard this, and then asked about Wang Fang's civil and military talents, and then said with a smile: "Since your father paid you to me, of course you can't leave it idle. You are willing to write for me,
Or in front of the knife-catching tent?"
"Thank you so much, General, for your appreciation! This young servant is stubborn and foolish, and is not known for his knowledge. He is willing to serve as a guard under the command of the master! However, whatever he does, he must obey the master's arrangement!"
After waiting for many days, something happened, and Wang Yan was naturally in a state of ups and downs, but fortunately, he finally had a solution and would not continue to wander aimlessly.
"There are quite a lot of people in front of my tent who are willing to obey orders. If you want to obey orders for this purpose, then you have to be more attentive!"
After Li Tai heard this, he laughed again, and immediately shouted outside the tent: "Dharma, please introduce this person to your team."
"The last general takes command!"
Several phoenixes who had gone to the camp gate to lead Wang Pang into the camp heard the sound and quickly came out to respond. Then they raised their fingers at Wang Pang, beckoning him to join their ranks.
Nowadays, Li Tai's power is getting higher and higher, and the scale of his personal army is also getting larger and larger. There are 500 archers who are good at riding and shooting, 300 heavy-armored swordsmen, and 200 close confidants in the tent.
Among them, the confidants in the account were divided into two teams, led by Liang Rui and Shuofeng, two second-generation soldiers and future brothers-in-law respectively. Other young disciples were also arranged here. Based on Wang Pang's age and life experience, they were arranged
It's just right here.
After this episode, the martial arts performance continued. Wang Fan was also directly issued a black hakama pleated military uniform, but compared to what ordinary soldiers wore, their waist belts were painted with gold thread and inlaid with
Various types of jade hooks appear more luxurious and beautiful. Wearing them directly enhances one's temperament.
Wang Ban had just finished dressing up and was still fresh. He was immediately assigned the task of going to the ordnance warehouse in the camp to pick up the equipment and materials as rewards for the martial arts officers. A team of ten close men in the tent was led by a governor.
On the way, Wang Fan was also curious about the personnel structure of the army from his colleagues. The fellow travelers were also very enthusiastic and explained it to him carefully.
General Li has a very high position of power and a very high level of confidants in his camp. After being selected, he will immediately confer the title of governor to his son. The senior commander will be the governor, and the higher up will be the commander-in-chief and the chief governor.
This series of governor titles are not just the internal titles of the Jingzhou Governor's Office, they are recognized by the imperial court and the Chinese and foreign governments. Like the two trusted captains and governors, they all have the official title of county and duke!
After Wang Fan heard this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh at General Li's high status in the Western Dynasty. When he thought about what the general had said to encourage him before, Wang Fan became even more excited. He felt that General Li was really like him.
The idol of young people who left home and struggled alone!
However, Wang Yan was still a little puzzled. Their elder looked equally young. He was riding a tall horse and couldn't even reach the stirrups with his toes, but he actually already had the title of governor. Could it be that the younger he was, the more he was treated by General Li?
Reuse?
Of course, Captain Li Ya didn't know what Wang Ban was thinking, and he didn't have a good impression of this new member who joined his team. Wang Ban's previous behavior of breaking into the school grounds without permission made him feel that this guy was a thorn in his side. When he saw Wang Ban's riding skills, he was not impressed.
When he was very shrewd, Dang Ji frowned and said: "A certain group of confidants are guarding the general, and the safety of the general is within our blade. If I am not familiar with driving a mere car, how can I guard the general?"
No matter what your extraordinary origins are, since you join our team, it’s best to master your riding skills as soon as possible! I will take the test myself in the future, and if you are still like this, I will expel you from the team immediately!”
Being scolded by a young man who was much younger than himself, Wang Fan felt a little embarrassed on his face. However, the other man's scolding was not deliberately looking for trouble. He could only accept it in a muffled voice, and secretly said that he must learn riding skills well.
Later, you will gallop forward and throw this little carrot head far away!
The warehouse arrived quickly. Li Ya took out the list of military supplies that needed to be withdrawn and contacted the quartermaster before entering. Wang Huan and others were responsible for entering the warehouse to select points for collection.
After walking into the warehouse, Wang Fan suddenly took a breath and felt as if he had entered a world of steel. The variety of fine armors was dazzling. There were thousands of full-body fine armors in one warehouse alone.
The grown-up swords and finely crafted horse swords are also displayed in a forest, and there are countless other kinds of swords, guns, swords and halberds.
"The Mianbei arsenal is so full..."
Wang Fan was shocked when he looked at the warehouse full of swords and weapons. He had gone on an expedition with his father before, and the weapons assigned to the sergeants in Jiangling were simply out of reach compared to those in Mianbei.
The other cronies were very proud after hearing Wang Fan's emotion, but someone pointed to the horse tree displayed on an elevated shelf in the innermost part of the warehouse and sighed: "Although the arsenal is well-stocked, if we can get the dragon as reward from the general,
Wen Shu, that's the one who can truly be called the bravest of all armies!"
