The words were decisive, but Zhang Xutuo had no confidence at all.
It was really a ghost. This was the first time he encountered a rebel force like the Wagang Army.
Ordinarily, the size of the Wagang Army is not exaggerated among the rebels.
Between 40,000 and 50,000 troops, compared to the number of rebel thieves who often weighed 100,000, it could only be considered an upper-middle-class scale.
If it weren't for the special territory occupied by the Wagang Army, the imperial court might not have noticed it for a while, or would not have targeted it as a priority.
However, he never expected that the Wagang army would actually play the trick of fighting generals, and it seemed that they could steadily dominate the official army.
This was very painful, and Zhang Xutuo felt that his face was very dull.
The three generals Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin remained silent. They were tortured so much this time that they almost fell apart.
There was also a turmoil in my heart. The strength of General Wagang Army was a bit exaggerated.
Shan Xiongxin's martial arts skills are a bit too strong.
Not only that, there is actually Wang Bodang, a warrior of the same level, and there are several other top-level warriors.
Damn it, how could there be so many heroes in the world, and all of them have joined Wagang's command?
Not to mention the dozen or so second-rate military generals, compared to the officers and soldiers on their side, they are simply indescribable.
Don't forget that Zhai Rang, the great leader of Wagang, is also famous for his bravery and good fighting skills.
Even if he is not as good as Shan Xiongxin, he is at least at the level of a first-class warrior.
I still don’t know if there are any other masters in the Wagang Army.
I feel a headache just thinking about it, and I feel weak in my heart, but I can't show it in front of Zhang Xutuo.
"Mr. Zhang, we know too little about the Wagang Army. We must find a way to find out the true strength of the Wagang Army!"
When Zhang Xutuo's anger subsided, Qin Qiong said in time: "Otherwise we don't know anything, and we would be too passive!"
"Shubao is right, I underestimated the Wagang Army!"
Zhang Xutuo nodded, with a wry smile on his face.
In the past few years, the campaign against the rebels had gone too smoothly, and I could not help but underestimate it a little, not wanting to hit a brick wall with the Wagang Army.
"Mr. Zhang, I see that the Wagang Army has no intention of attacking the county directly for a while. How should we respond?"
Once the words were spoken, there was no need to hide them. Qin Qiong asked directly: "It's just the three of us, it's really hard to stand it!"
The previous fighting generals shocked Qin Qiong and the other three. Fortunately, the other side did not intend to kill them, otherwise they would not be chatting here, but would be collected by the army.
Therefore, if there is a battle between generals in the future, the officers and soldiers must add powerful masters.
Speaking of which, the only capable generals in Zhang Xutuo's tribe are Zhang Xutuo himself and Qin Qiong.
The generals below are not without strength, they can only be said to be mediocre in strength.
They are very experienced in leading armies in battle and organizing armies, but they tend to be no more confident than generals.
In recent years, as the Three Kingdoms fever has taken root in people's hearts, battles between generals have occurred from time to time.
It’s just that in the past, it was all the officers and soldiers suppressing the rebels. When did it become the opposite?
But now that we are encountering such a situation, we must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the impact and blow to morale will be too great.
Especially Shan Xiongxin, whose martial arts skills are absolutely beyond imagination. I don’t know why he has to join the ranks of rebels with such strong martial arts skills?
"Do you have any good suggestions or suitable candidates?"
Zhang Xutuo was also helpless. Qin Qiong was right, he had to take precautions.
"Pei Yuanqing, the son of Hulao Gate Guard General Pei Renji, is still more famous than Shan Xiongxin. I estimate that his strength will not be much worse!"
Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said: "The other ones are those generals who dare to challenge the Jing Nian Temple. All of them are at least first-rate!"
From time to time, military commanders challenge the four great kings of Jing Nian Temple, which has always been a famous thing in the world.
In this world where the arena and the court are closely connected, even the generals in the army pay a lot of attention to things in the arena.
With the strength of Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, if they were not fighting on the front line all the time, they would probably follow the example of other generals and go to Jing Nian Zen Monastery or Shaolin Temple to challenge.
Because the challenge to the Jing Nian Temple was quite a sensation, they naturally heard about the outstanding generals among them.
Even Shan Xiongxin, who became famous in the world, also relied on his record of challenging one of the four Dharma Protectors of Jing Nian Monastery.
If we really want to talk about legend, Qin Qiong's experience is even more legendary, but without the masters of Jing Nian Zen Academy as a stepping stone, he can only rely on his military exploits to accumulate his reputation bit by bit.
On the other hand, this kid Pei Yuanqing, as the first person to take the initiative to challenge the four Dharma Protectors of Jing Nian Monastery, is a well-known presence in terms of his demonstrated strength and reputation.
I am afraid that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had heard about it quite a lot.
Otherwise, during the Second Conquest of Goguryeo, they would not have been regarded as military masters and recruited to fight on the front lines.
It was just that Yang Xuangan rebelled and hurriedly returned to the hinterland of the Central Plains without much opportunity to express himself.
Of course, it was also because Pei Yuanqing was too young. Except for that recruitment, he basically followed his father in action, so he didn't hear about his performance on the battlefield.
Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin had always paid attention to him, so he naturally knew where Pei Yuanqing was at this time.
Regardless of whether this boy's strength is as powerful as the rumors say, the so-called reputation is not false, at least he should be no worse than the three of them.
Having a powerful companion in the round battle can also reduce their burden a lot, right?
Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin echoed from the sidelines, feeling that Cheng Yaojin's proposal was quite reliable.
"I heard that Pei Yuanqing is only fifteen or sixteen years old, still a young man!"
Zhang Xutuo frowned and said hesitantly: "It's not impossible to ask him to come over for help, but I'm afraid his father won't agree!"
"Mr. Zhang is fully responsible for the suppression of bandits in the hinterland of the Central Plains. I think General Pei will still give him face!"
Cheng Yaojin was very disapproving. Sui Emperor Yang Guang was still sitting in Luodu. Pei Renji did not dare and would not ignore the greeting.
Zhang Xutuo didn't say anything else, and quickly sent a transfer order to Hulao Pass.
Not only Pei Yuanqing was recruited, but in recent years all the military commanders who dared to challenge the masters of Jing Nian Temple and Shaolin Temple were recruited in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
…
On the other side, the leaders of the Wagang Army returned to the temporary camp, all of them smiling and excited.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, the big leader Zhai Rang laughed loudly and said to a group of veterans: "I didn't expect that our Wagang army is really hiding its dragons and crouching tigers, but there are so many powerful generals there!"
A group of elders also had happy faces, and they were also shocked.
If it hadn't been for this sudden battle, they really wouldn't have noticed that there were so many powerful masters hidden in the Wagang army.
Especially Wang Bodang, although he was known to be good at martial arts before, he never got the chance to lead the army independently.
This time he made a big splash, and it was inevitable that he would be reused.
Speaking of Wang Bodang, he was from the same county as the big leader Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin, but he joined Wagang a little late, so he was not considered a veteran of Wagang.
His previous performance has always been quite average, with nothing too outstanding.
Of course, his archery skills have become famous early on, but unfortunately, compared to the previous Wagang Army, the effect was not obvious.
It is useless to attack country manors, and simple archery will not play a key role in attacking towns.
In addition, the Wagang Army has started regularization construction early, so it is not easy to show personal bravery.
He didn't directly show his first- or second-rate strength. If he wanted to stand out in the army, he could only slowly improve step by step.
It seems that this opportunity to fight is quite rare, so this guy grabbed it and stole the limelight.
If fighting alone, Wang Bodang's strength can only be regarded as first-class. Although his marksmanship is weird and strange, first-class is first-class and cannot be faked.
But with the addition of the skill of marksmanship, his combat power quickly increased to a super-class level.
No matter how much attention is paid to super-class masters, it cannot be overemphasized.
Of course, the most that can be done is to give him the opportunity to lead an army on his own. Whether he can go one step further and become the core presence among the first-level veterans of Wagang depends on his specific performance.
In addition, first-class generals such as Wang Junkuo and Niu Jinda have shown sufficient strength, and it is appropriate to give them sufficient respect and reuse.
Zhai Rang still has this kind of measure.
It just so happens that the Wagang Army has expanded rapidly recently and lacks generals who can take charge of the army.
Of course, at this time, the guys who performed well during the battle can only serve as the last ones in the main camp of the Chinese army.
They didn't have any dissatisfaction. Shan Xiongxin alone could suppress them, let alone the presence of leader Wu Dong whose strength was unfathomable.
During the battle of generals, most of the second-rate generals were Wu Dong's subordinates.
All of them are physically strong and powerful, and their martial arts are quite refined. They are also young and have a lot of room for growth.
As long as you are well-informed in the Wagang Army, you will have heard that there may not be any first-rate masters under leader Wu Dong, but there are a lot of second-rate and third-rate ones.
The most exaggerated thing is that these second-rate and third-rate masters are all trained by leader Wu Dong himself and are his loyal and direct confidants.
The other veteran generals of the Wagang Army do not have such foundation and strength.
The group that had just performed outstandingly among the fighting generals, although they were very proud of themselves, did not dare to make any mistakes.
Leader Wu Dong was present, and he had high requirements for military discipline among the Wagang generals. In addition, he was an upright man and acted fairly, so even the big leader Zhai Rang was a little afraid.
Although the atmosphere in the Chinese army's tent was warm, none of the Wagang elders dared to make any mistakes. Not to mention sitting upright, at least they looked dignified.
"Brother Wu Dong, shall we continue to fight against Zhang Xutuo's tribe?"
Here, after Zhai Rang was happy for a while, he turned his attention to Wu Dong, who was sitting on the left side.
The same is true for the other Wagang elders. Wu Dong's strength and prestige lie there.
"Of course continue!"
Wu Dong chuckled and said: "But you have to be more careful next time. Maybe the government and army will send experts to help..."
In the last three days, the brothers helped to increase the monthly tickets to 1,000.
