I’m The King Chapter 82: :collusion

La Trobe stood up, walked to the curtain of the big tent, and looked at the dozens of carriages parked in the open space in front of him, all of which were loaded with the things he needed. Turning his head, he looked contentedly Huo Zhu, who is confident in drinking milk tea, knows that he cannot refuse.

La Trobe knew who was behind Huo Zhu. It was a top figure in Dayan. How could such a person care about the lives of ordinary people in a county above the border if he had to deal with them? He was just a little strange, With the energy of the person behind Huo Zhu, why is it necessary to go through so much trouble? Maybe a letter can solve these people, but he can't do it, and if he wants to borrow his own knife, it can only mean that There is also a powerful force behind these few people. Thinking about the situation in Liaoxi County, the answer is self-evident.

"I want to know, after I do this, will Zhang Shoudate come to trouble me?" La Trobe walked up to Huo Zhu, leaned over and asked.

"Patriarch, if you succeed in killing them all and destroying Fufeng City, then I can assure you that Zhang Shouyue will never trouble you, but if you don't kill them and If you leave future troubles behind, Zhang Shouyue may really trouble you!" Huo Zhu smiled.

Latrobe was stunned, "I don't understand why this is so!"

Huo Zhu stood up and took a few steps inside the big tent, "You might as well tell the patriarch a little bit, these people are related to Zhang Shouyue's large wealth, because these people, Zhang Shouyue has a lot of money." It is very likely that in the future, it will cause troubles in the business between us and King Donghu, and we will no longer allow any inflow of materials, but if these people die, Zhang Shouyue will rely on us to share his share of the pie to maintain his life. I mean, does the patriarch understand? So, even if the patriarch doesn't make a move, I believe King Donghu will definitely do it."

La Trobe is also a person who has experienced many vicissitudes of life. When Huo Zhu said this, he already understood it.

"Okay, I've done this. Mr. Huo, I don't want any other rewards from you, but after taking down Fufeng City, I will own everything in the city." Latrobe said.

Huo Zhu laughed loudly, "The patriarch has a big appetite, okay, no problem, it's settled like this. Fufeng is yours, and I only want three heads." Hold together, "When will the patriarch be able to do it?"

"Not now!" La Trobe said, "Now is the time for the mating of livestock. This is a major issue related to the livelihood of our tribe and must not be ignored."

Regarding this point, Huo Zhu also knew, "When will the patriarch be able to send troops?"

"We have to wait until mid-April at the earliest!" Latobe calculated the time in his mind, "This is the earliest time I can send troops, Mr. Huo, this means that our tribe has less livestock, and we changed to an Donghu Most of them, I’m afraid they won’t be able to make the trip until May.”

"Very well, mid-April is mid-April. It just so happens that I have an important meeting with King Donghu on this trip. It will take about a month to come and go. When I come back, I will also meet It's exactly the time for you to launch, patriarch, without my help, you may not be able to defeat Fufeng City." Huo Zhu laughed.

Compared with last year, Juliguan has completely changed its appearance. The newly repaired city wall has been raised to a height of one meter. A large amount of soil has built a **** for the city wall. The amount of engineering required for this **** is not large, but it can bring great trouble to the besiegers. The ladder cannot be erected unless you first clear the section The sloping foundation was leveled, and the excavation of the soil formed a trench about five meters wide and two meters deep that formed a new barrier to the city wall. For the enemy Donghu people, it is a natural danger.

At the rear of Juliguan, a new camp has been built. The walls made of rammed earth are covered with thick thatch. Connected as one, within the fence and in front of the camp, there is a spacious school field. On the flat ground, use fine gravel to compact and flatten it, and it can be used without fear of rain and snow.

At this moment, on the school grounds, except for the sentinels on the city wall, the rest of the three hundred soldiers gathered on the school grounds and practiced individually.

In the middle, led by Gao Yuan, more than two hundred people held the long knife Gao Yuan specially made for them in both hands, and lined up in a neat formation. Every time I strike, it is accompanied by a loud roar.

Upward step, chopping, side stepping, reverse thrusting, upstepping, diagonally chopping down, lunge, stabbing. There are not many movements, tossing and turning, these are all these movements, but with a roar, the whole body The movement of the team is getting faster and faster, and slowly, the center of the entire school field is full of billowing lights.

In a corner of the school grounds, the infantrymen held their bows in their left hands and drew the strings in their right hands. The bows were like a full moon, and sharp arrows shone coldly on the bowstrings. They kept the same movement, except that some arms were as steady as a rock, while others were trembling slightly, because a brick was tied with a rope to their left wrist.

Sweat poured down the infantry's face, but people were stuck on the ground like nails. In front of them, human-shaped targets were nailed to the fence, and all the vital points were covered with black charcoal. Painted black, it is clear at a glance.

"Steady everyone, your left, right, right are your comrades in arms, if your hands tremble, if you can't hold the strings, you may accidentally injure your comrades in arms." The infantry shouted loudly "Only when you really can't hold on, you are allowed to shoot your feather arrows, but you have to remember, the first ten people who shoot arrows will practice for an extra hour, and the first ten people who shoot arrows without hitting the vital point, Practice for another hour!"

Accompanied by the sound of shouting in the center of the venue, the sweat of fifty archers rained down.

Finally, there was a whistling sound, and an arrow flew out of the string with a snapping sound, hitting the forehead of the target above the fifty-step fence. Kneeling down, panting heavily, looking at the feathered arrow that hit the vital point, there was both shame and joy on his face. Only needing to practice for an extra hour is considered a blessing among misfortunes.

With the first one, the sound of howling arrows kept ringing, one after another the feathered arrows flew out from the hands of the soldiers, some hit the vital part of the target, and some shot at other parts, A few arrows missed the target.

It was not until all the arrows in the hands of the soldiers had been shot out that the arrows in the hands of the infantry flew out with a scream, and hit the throat with a loud sound. He turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him. Appreciation appeared on his face, "That's right, I persisted for an extra half an hour today, and if I reached the required rest, if I didn't meet the requirement, I will practice more after half an hour!"

Hearing the infantry's words, a group of people beamed with joy, carrying their long bows, walked to the side, and carefully unloaded the bow strings. For them, the bow strings are extremely precious things, and it is extremely difficult to replenish them. If you don't take good care of them , once the guts become soft, the arrow will lose its strength.

The others were resting, but the infantry didn't join them. Instead, another turntable was erected beside the fence, and the windmill-like paddles were vigorously moved by a soldier, and the ground began to spin.

The infantry stretched their bows, held their breath, and fixed their eyes on the rotating blades of different colors. Suddenly, they let out a low shout, and the feather arrows turned into lightning bolts, shot out with a whizzing sound, and the turntable paused. The blade of the oar was reversed by the arrow, and everyone could see clearly that the arrow hit the red blade.

"Okay!" The soldiers on the sidelines applauded vigorously one by one.

"Come again!" The infantry also showed a smile on his face and shouted loudly.

The turntable turned again, and the infantryman focused on his second round of shooting. This was the task assigned to him by Gao Yuan. Now, seven or eight of his ten arrows could hit the target accurately. Such a shot As Gao Yuan told him, in the chaotic army, if he made a slight misjudgment, he would accidentally injure his comrades. Gao Yuan's current achievements are actually quite Satisfied, Gao Yuan believes that even among the Xiongnu and Donghu people who are famous for their cavalry and archery, there are only a handful of archers at the level of the infantry. But the infantry is not satisfied. Among ten arrows, they can only He hits seven or eight arrows, and the two or three arrows that miss will hurt his comrades. He wants to be perfect.

In the middle of the school field, Gao Yuan's clothes were soaked, but he was still practicing these seemingly extremely simple movements meticulously. Only simple can he be fast, and only fast can he kill the opponent more effectively.

Gao Yuan is well aware of his weakness, close combat is his strength, but in the era of cold weapons, fighting with spears and halberds is the most common, his military stabs and short knives can only be used in close combat He wants to make himself a general without weaknesses. This two-meter-long two-handed knife is his new weapon.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Amidst the shouts of killing, Cao Tiancheng appeared at the gate of the barracks with a smile on his face, "Brothers, let's cook!"

"Take it back!" Gao Yuan slashed his knife, and stood up with his knife back. Behind him, more than two hundred soldiers moved in unison, and they all took their knives away.

"Take a bath, eat!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, the soldiers turned around, walked to the wall in a row, put the long knives into the scabbards, and then put the long knives neatly on the wall, and then spread out In the formation, in the school field, there was finally a sound of laughter and slapstick.

Gao Yuan walked to the wall with a smile, lifted the scabbard, closed it inward, and with a snap, the long knife was put into the bamboo scabbard. It can be pulled out from the sheath mouth. This kind of bamboo sheath opens on one side, and the long knife is retracted from the side. When it needs to be taken out, the handle of the knife is slightly pulled down, and a small mechanism in the mouth of the sheath is touched, and the whole long knife comes out of the sheath. It is very convenient to draw the knife.

In Gao Yuan's room, there was a plate of pickled vegetables, a plate of mutton, and a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables on the small square table. Compared with the soldiers, there were only more ordinary wild vegetables. Sun Xiao, Cao Tiancheng, Yan Haibo, infantrymen and Gao Yuan sat around the square table, gnawing steamed buns and drinking porridge.

"I'm going back to Fufeng City for dinner today!" Gao Yuan tore off the mutton, threw it into his mouth, chewed until his mouth was full of oil, and said vaguely to the four people: "What's wrong with He Lanxiong these two days?" News keeps coming that the Hutu tribe has changed. It seems that they are going to attack. I have to go back to Fufeng to report to the Wu county magistrate and county lieutenant to make preparations for this big war. I am not afraid of them coming to fight. Liguan, I am afraid that they will bypass Juliguan and then go to Fufeng County to plunder, the county must make all preparations.”

"Bing Cao, don't worry, we are here!" Sun Xiao nodded vigorously, "Speaking of which, I am really looking forward to doing it soon. I can't help but want to chop off their heads for the boss Cao has revenge."

"Brother Sun!" Yan Haibo cut off Sun Xiao while looking at Cao Tiancheng worriedly.

Cao Tiancheng's face twitched slightly, but immediately became nonchalant.

"I will set off after the meal, and I will be able to rush back to Fufeng City at night. When I am away, Sun Xiao will be in charge of all the affairs of Juliguan. Sun Xiao, remember, the sentry cavalry can be farther away, and must be strengthened Contact with the Helan Department, I will be back by tomorrow night at the latest." Gao Yuandao.

"Yes, soldiers, don't worry."
