"Master shot! Master shot! Master shot!" On the martial arts field, the Tielindu sergeants were in high spirits and kept tapping the ground with their spear poles, cheering enthusiastically.
Shao Shude laughed loudly and threw his bow to Xu Hao. Nine out of ten arrows hit, which was his highest level in a long time. The soldiers were amazed and he himself was very satisfied.
Well, the effect of today's performance should be good. He usually distinguishes rewards and punishments, treats his soldiers well, and has a lot of morale in the army. If he performs this skill today, his reputation in the army will rise sharply, and he should be able to command more easily in the future.
Today's Tielindu, to be honest, is already his own army, Shao Shude, and no one else can pull him away even if they want to.
Tielindu now has four battalions with a total of 2,000 soldiers, and a baggage battalion with about 1,700 auxiliary soldiers, plus the general's personal soldiers, patrols, messengers, scouts, gate guards, drummers, flag bearers and other miscellaneous soldiers of 300 people, the total number
They have exceeded 4,000, and they are ranked high in Fucheng. Moreover, they are well-equipped, trained diligently, and most importantly, have high morale. In a head-on confrontation without any tricks, Shao Shude doesn't think it's a pretense.
Worse than anyone else, even better than anyone else.
Marshal Li has also been having good luck recently. The town of Youzhou was annoyed by the imperial court and dispatched nearly 10,000 horse and infantry troops to attack Yuzhou and attack several villages. For Li Guochang and his son who were still showing off their power in Daizhou, this was like a bolt from the blue.
, almost overnight, Xin, generations of rebels left, all of them went back to support Yuzhou.
At this time, if the Hedong generals still have a sense of the overall situation, they should send tens of thousands of troops on the Daizhou front line northward, first seize the big fort garrison, and then conquer the Pingxingzhai, forming an east-west pincer attack with Youzhou Town, and completely defeat Datong.
The rebels were wiped out in Yuzhou. It was a pity that they could not do this. Li Kan did have this idea and ordered Yi Zhao to lead the Hedong Army and Zhongwu and Yicheng three towns to go northward to "redemption by meritorious service".
However, as soon as the order came, Yi Zhao's troops in Hedong were in chaos. The soldiers were incited by someone unknown and clamored to return to Jinyang. So the whole army went south, plundering Xin, Dai Erzhou, and Shi Shi.
Lingzhen was blocked by Kang Chuangui. It happened that the soldiers had already been looted and their mood had calmed down a bit. Li Kan had no choice but to order his troops to retreat.
If something like this happens, the imperial court will definitely issue an order, and this is the second time that Li Kan has been held accountable by the imperial court. Shao Shude doesn't know how long he can hold on. Anyway, he has recently recruited several new advisers and soldiers under his command.
The group has also expanded to a thousand people, and they are no longer as close to Shao Shude as they used to be.
After Li Kan's close army general Fengyin recovered from his injury, he paid a special visit to Shao Shude. He solemnly thanked him and almost became a brother on the spot. Shao Shude still had a good impression of this man, probably because he had the same interests as Li Kan.
Kanze felt that he was not from the same group at all. He was just a serious martial artist, but he was not too broad-minded.
Tielindu still lives in the previous camp. After all, he is a decisive force in balancing the armies in the city. Even if Li Kan has some opinions about Shao Shude, his basic treatment will not be changed. However, Shao Shude no longer has any hope for his future.
, this time it was good luck, Youzhou Town helped, but what about next time? After killing Su Hongzhen and He Gongya, it was destined that there would be no reconciliation between Li Kan and the indigenous forces in Hedong. One party would lose, anyway, Shao Shude.
Not optimistic about Li Kan.
"The general's performance today has increased the morale of our army." After handing the bow to Xu Hao, Shao Shude went to the side to rest. Chen Cheng immediately came up and congratulated: "It is a pity that we lack cavalry, otherwise we will be even more powerful. We will not be afraid of any army in Taiyuan."
."
"The cavalry..." Shao Shude smiled bitterly and said: "How can we support them if they have no talent, no money or food, and no equipment?"
The last time he patrolled the northern border, Tielin brought back more than a hundred high-quality war horses. Some of them were exchanged for money to pay pensions to the soldiers, some were kept as backup horses for scouts, and some were exchanged for pack horses. There was no cavalry unit at all.
Meaning. Either I don’t want to, or I can’t!
Chen Cheng also sighed after hearing this. The situation in Jinyang is now turbulent. It seems calm, but in fact there is hidden murderous intention. The ten thousand Jinyang uncles led by Yi Zhao were defeated in Daibeilian and then plundered the prefectures and counties. It is simply unreasonable.
But with this kind of soldiers, you have to comfort them well, otherwise they will coerce the town soldiers all the way to Jinyang. Li Kan can't defend the three huge cities of Jinyang with the thousands of people at hand.
A few days ago, the Zhongwu Army was in chaos again. The cause was that a small officer raped a civilian girl in Taiyuan County and was beaten to death. Then more than 2,000 people drove over in a fierce manner and wiped out the village with blood. Not to mention this, they robbed a girl again.
After plundering Jinyang and Guo County in the two annexes of Taiyuan, Li Kan finally pardoned him and ordered him to return to the Zhongwu Army in the military camp. He had made a great contribution that night by killing He Gongya. Li Kan couldn't bear to kill him, even though Shao Shude took the initiative.
Please come and lead Tielindu to put an end to the chaos.
These incidents, coupled with Li Ke's cavalry going south to plunder the Xin Dynasty, probably accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction in the imperial court. Although the northern patrol captured Fanzhi County's credit, in the final analysis, it cannot offset the fault. Shao Shude said
After chatting with Chen Cheng, both of them were not very optimistic about Li Kan's future. He was basically a replica of Cao Xiang who killed people to establish his power. In the end, he failed in the struggle and either died or left.
"Mr. Chen, how is the recent war situation in Lanzhou?" Shao Shude saw that there was no one around except his own soldiers, so he asked in a low voice: "Do you have any orders from Commander Qiu?"
"Li Guochang's main force is in Daizhou, and there is nothing going on in Lanzhou. However, the troops are unwilling to go north, and they all say that Marshal Li of Jinyang must give him a reward." Chen Cheng replied: "Qiu Supervisor Army secretly told Chen that the matter of moving the prison to the river has been completed.
There is no hope, Li Fenggao will take office soon, and will set off as soon as the new supervisor Zhou Congyu arrives in Jin Dynasty. Qiu Shijun is in a bad mood, and several months of planning have come to nothing. Now the only options left are Zhenwu Army and Xia Sui.
The town is over. Originally, Zhaoyi Town was also possible, but we were so focused on going to Hezhong that we wasted too much time. There are also candidates there."
"Zhenwu Army is not interesting. But the land of two states, three cities and six counties is vast and sparsely populated, so it is really not a good place to go."
"Qiu Jianjun also has the same view. He thinks Xia Sui is much stronger than Zhenwu Jun. But he seems to want to see if there are other opportunities." Chen Cheng said.
"Don't look at it." Shao Shude smiled bitterly: "At first I was focused on going to the river, but I missed Zhaoyi. Now I don't like Xia Sui Town. Who knows if I won't even be able to find places like Xiazhou in a while? Now Guannai Road
There are no vacancies in Zhufang Town. Mr. Chen, I think you have to go to Lanzhou again to advise Qiu Shijun to stop riding a donkey looking for a horse."
"Understood." Chen Cheng nodded, and then said: "Actually, Qiu Shijun also understands this truth. He once said that if he supervises the army Xia Sui, he is willing to share wealth and honor with the general. With the general's hard work in Daibei, he found someone
After some activities, the leader of a state cannot escape. Well, Youzhou is in the hands of Tuoba Sigong, Xiazhou is in charge of both the general and the general, and the general of Suizhou or Yinzhou can choose one.
no problem."
"Okay!" Shao Shude was so excited that his voice could not help but be a little louder. He has been wandering for more than a year, constantly working for people, and being a gunman for others. He has been unable to sleep at night many times, and he has been wandering and feeling sad. Now he finally sees a glimmer of light. I
Finally, we have a territory. Although it is not the ideal and wealthy Hezhong, at least it is not the poor Zhenwu Army or other places. Who let Li Fenggao, who is a good supervisor of the Hedong Army, not be allowed to have high-ranking and low-ranking people go to Hezhong to mess around?
What about the day?
But then again, if you really go to Hezhong, Shao probably doesn't have the ability to intervene in the affairs of a state. It is very possible for you to be promoted to a guard of Guancheng without any oil or water.
The thing is, just because you are not a close confidant of Jieshuai. Wang Chongrong of Hezhong is not an easy person to get along with.
"Mr. Chen, this matter is urgent. I think you should leave as soon as possible." Shao Shude said: "We are blinded by Xia Sui's matter and don't know anything. Let's go to Lanzhou and meet Judge Song who oversees the Military Academy.
When the time comes, you might as well chat more.”
"Understood." Chen Cheng was startled, as if he was trying to figure out the weight of Judge Song in his lord's heart.
After solving this major matter on his mind, Shao Shude suddenly felt that he had a goal in life. Forget about the pleasure, life must be full of joy! After letting the soldiers disperse and return to the camp, he greeted Xu Hao and pretended to go to the Marshal's Mansion.
Then, halfway through, he suddenly turned a corner and ran to He Mansion.
After sitting absentmindedly in the front hall for a while, Shao Shude walked into the backyard again.
There were some sergeants on duty in the garden, and Shao Shude started to patrol with a straight face. Seeing that it was almost dark, he didn't bother to check the last two sentry posts, so he quickened his pace and turned into a certain room.
The lamps and candles have been lit in the room, and a woman is sitting by the window, supporting her chin on her jade arm. She doesn't know what she is thinking about, but she is motionless. She is still wearing the same skirt, and under the influence of her plump body
It looks undulating. The small waist is full when you hold it, and it enlarges sharply when it reaches the hip bone. Because of where you sit, the skirt is pressed under the buttocks, which is a little tight, but it perfectly outlines the rounded outline.
.
"No wonder He Gongya doesn't want to stay in the army. He has such a lovely wife and beautiful family, who is only a few years older than his eldest son. It's the time when the charm is alluring, so a fool would not go home." Shao Shude thought to himself.
The woman noticed someone entering the room, and quickly sat up straight. When she took a closer look, she saw that it was the young general who had been here last time, his name should be Shao Shude, and he was now the owner of the house.
"General, can't you help it anymore?" The woman sat there, elegant and graceful, but her bright and moving eyes were full of sarcasm.
Shao Shude was embarrassed when he heard this. He had already noticed that there was a girl in green clothes in the room. When he saw him coming in, she hid behind the screen like a frightened deer.
"Madam, you have misunderstood." Shao Shude was at a loss for words. After saying this, he didn't know what to say. His old face also turned red. After a while, he said, "I came to ask Madam if there is any shortage of money in the room."
.Also, the situation in Jinyang is a bit unstable. If Madam is willing, I can send someone to escort you mother and daughter out for a while."
Zhao was a little surprised. In fact, she regretted what she said just now. If it were an ordinary martial artist, he would have pounced on him at this moment and took pleasure in it. But this general, after being ridiculed by her words, turned out to be like a secret in his heart.
She felt helpless as if she had been exposed. This made her want to laugh, but she couldn't laugh anymore when she thought that this man was the culprit who killed her husband and caused their mother and daughter to fall from the noble ladies in the golden house to the lowly slaves.
"That's all, the situation is tense. I have some training tonight, so I have to go first." After saying that, he glanced at Zhao, who was still sitting there calmly, and Shao Shude went out directly.
General Xu Hao looked at the lord who came in and out inexplicably. Shao Shude glared at him and strode away. The cold wind outside the house blew him back to his senses. Paralysis, that woman was obviously
My own slaves can be disposed of at will, and no one cares about beating them to death. How come they are withdrawn in such a stupid way?
Shao Shude felt a little embarrassed. It was probably Zhao's awe-inspiring and ladylike temperament that made him retreat. Damn, come again next time, I have one hundred and eight Japanese styles that will definitely make you cry.
