The Sacred Ding Chapter 152: Send troops
Cao Feng's youngest son, Cao Gui, has just passed the age of fourteen. He has cultivated his muscles and bones since he was a child. Although he hasn't really stepped into the threshold of martial arts practice these years, he still has a strong foundation.
More importantly, Cao Gui has followed his father and brother in the past few years. He has suffered a lot at a young age. He is more aware of the dangers and hardships of the world than the children of the clan who grew up in the greenhouse, and he is more determined and determined. It's a good seed.
When Cao Gui walked into Taohuawu with his father, he knew that he would be kept as a hostage. Even if he knew the situation was compelling, he was always unwilling to do so, but he did not expect that this trip would become an opportunity for him to truly enter the martial arts practice. , Immediately knelt down in front of Ge Tong happily and knocked his head three times.
"I'm a general of the Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou's Mansion, working under Master Shaohou. Do you know what you mean by kneeling and kowtow?" Ge Tong was not busy accepting Cao Gui's gift, but looked solemn ask him.
"..." Cao Gui was a little bit young after all, and didn't know how to answer Ge Tong's words.
"This kid knows in his heart." Cao Feng took the conversation.
Ge Tong ignored Cao Feng, staring at Cao Gui with piercing eyes, and said: "I am a general of Zhaoyang Pavilion Hou’s Mansion. Xuangong is uniquely taught to others, and is not eligible to accept someone as an apprentice. At this time, it is only on behalf of the Zhaoyang Pavilion, and on behalf of the young master to lead you to the threshold of martial arts practice, and from then on, you will be the young master's account. The former generals must be loyal to the young master, diligently practice, and share the worries for the young master. If there is success in cultivation in the future, it is not impossible to re-enter the Taiwei Sect, but it is also given by the young master. Your great kindness."
"Cao Gui remembers it in his heart." Cao Gui was also agile, and walked up to Chen Hai again, knocking his head a few times.
In Taohuawu, Tongxiu Ge is not the highest, but it is only second to Chen Hai, Wu Meng, Man Slave Tie Kun, Zhou Jun and three or four people—Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and Tie Kun all follow Chen Hai in the army. In Taohuawu, Ge Tong is usually the head to deal with all kinds of troubles. The 100 elite soldiers who stayed behind Taohua are also under the command of Ge Tong.
If you can practice with Ge Tong for a while, you will never feel wronged to Ge Gui; not to mention that you have to lay a good foundation in martial arts, and you will have the opportunity to enter the Taiwei School in two or three years. Chance encounter.
Looking at Cao Feng and Cao Gui and his son still kneeling on the ground, Chen Hai laughed and said to Cao Feng: "Since Cao Gui is cultivating next to Brother Ge, then the head of Cao and us are peers, so he should sit down and talk. , Can’t mess up the system. Cao’s village, there are some good seedlings, if anyone else wants to practice martial arts, I am not stingy to give some pointers..."
Cao Feng also knows that since Cao Gui has come to Ge Tong to practice martial arts, he can no longer have half-hearted thoughts, and said: "Master Duomen sheltered, seventy or eighty thousand talents will not be displaced. Everyone is grateful and don’t know how. Repay the kindness of adults. Speaking of good seedlings, there are 20 or 30 seedlings who have not missed the age of martial arts practice. If adults can arrange for someone to guide them in their practice, this great kindness is really..."
Speaking of this, Cao Feng is about to kneel on the ground again, thanking him.
The seven to eighty thousand refugees in the northern part of Taohuawu mainly come from two or three neighboring counties. They are closely related to each other's clans, and they are united on the road to fleeing famine.
Chen Hai does not care whether Cao Feng’s gratitude at this time is true or false. Cao Fengzhen can send the twenty or thirty best seedlings here, and he won’t treat these young disciples badly, just because of his love. For the sake of this, the fate of these seventy to eighty thousand people is completely tied to Taohuawu.
No matter what dissent Cao Feng has, he has no ability to encourage these people to create Taohuawu opposition.
"...Cao Master is polite," Chen Hai smiled slightly and said, "I think Cao Master also pays attention to training young children's martial arts in the north. As long as they have some martial skills, even if they are over twenty years old, practice It’s not too late to martial arts, but there is no need to limit the bad habits of the sect too."
The qi, blood, and essence in the human body are the most pure and exuberant when they are young, and it is also the best time to practice. However, when a teenager is sixteen years old, a girl is born with gui water, and a girl is fourteen years old. A considerable part of the essence will be continuously transformed into essence|water and decane water that can nurture new life. At this time, if you want to practice, you will get half the result and become extremely difficult.
However, Chen Hai noticed that Cao Feng and his son led these refugees. The young children attach great importance to the training of martial arts, so they have a good foundation. Even if they enter the martial arts practice after 20 years old, they cannot be counted. Age.
Taiweizong and other top sects and clan forces in Yanzhou, choosing disciples from the common people, naturally can be extremely picky, even if it is a good seedling in a million, you can also throw it into the Taoist courtyard to survive the fittest, but At this time, Chen Hai was extremely short of manpower and was not qualified to be so picky. He still wanted to select more good seedlings, and Ge Tongxian was responsible for training them.
Chen Hai now has more than 200 elite private soldiers available, but he also needs to pay attention to the construction of the reserve echelon, and the foundry and armor shop also need to train a group of apprentices with care.
For Cao Feng, 20 or 30 people are given away, and 70 or 80 people are also given away. In the future, there will really be a few people who will achieve success in martial arts. The Cao family’s speech in Taohuawu and Zhaoyangting Houfu Also heavy.
Except for the seventy or eighty seedlings with cultivation qualifications, the seven or eighty thousand refugees in the northern region have no potential to tap.
After several years of catastrophe, most of the old, weak, sick and disabled among the refugees either starved to death or fell ill; the 70,000 to 80,000 people who could survive the famine years, after nearly a year of recuperation, most of them They can be said to be strong and physically strong, and therefore they can withstand the heavy physical tasks such as **** building, mining, quarrying, logging, and reclamation beginning at the beginning of the year.
In the past, Cao Feng was afraid of causing unnecessary suspicion and interference in the local governments, Meiwu Fort and Taohuawu. He did not dare to openly train soldiers, but he really wanted to have something wrong with him. He chose 10,000 or 20,000 Jianrui for training. , The combat power will not be slightly worse than the local armed forces.
Cao Feng was afraid of committing taboos, and Chen Hai thought in his heart that if you ask Tu Ziji to come forward, you might be able to tell the local government to enlist seventy to eighty thousand people into your households, and then you can formally select Jianrui to edit the village. The soldiers and the people were brave and cooperated with the Beijing camp.
At the same time, there are still one or two hundred veterans in the seventh of the Xiyuan Army. They can be "disarmed and returned to the fields" in advance, and arranged to Taohuawu to be responsible for the preparation and training of rural soldiers...
*
Chen Hai can’t delay too long in Taohuawu. The matter of taking in the Cao family and selecting guards and apprentices can only be entrusted to Ge Tong and Zhou Jingyuan. He looks at the sun high. When he rose, he crossed the Qiuye River with Wu Meng, Zhou Jun, and Ding Shuang, and led more than a hundred Huweis into the Fujiaoling Yingcheng.
The two light warships had just sailed into the water gate of the Fujiaoling camp. Tu Ziji, Zhao Rong, and Ran Hu came up and said: "The decision to dispatch troops from the Taiwei's Mansion has come down, and it is decided to recruit from the Xiyuan Army. One to six capitals have a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses. The chariot general Wei Yuqi is appointed as the main general, Su Wei general Fan Chun is the deputy general, Zuo Si Cheng Yao Qitai is the army sima, and the rebels are eliminated and Qin Tongguan is recovered."
"Ah, it has nothing to do with us?" Zhou Jun asked in surprise.
The Xiyuan Army was organized and trained to become an army. Like the Huben Army, as a Beijing battalion, it has entered the ranks of the Taiwei Mansion. It is not surprising that the Taiwei Mansion mobilized the Xiyuan Army to recover Qin Tongguan.
In such a chaos, many battalions are also looking forward to the opportunity to lead their troops to fight in order to gain fame and fortune. Even Chen Hai did not expect that Taiwei Mansion will only be transferred from Xiyuan Army to Liudu this time. Soldiers and horses, the seventh, eighth, and ninth new troops were dropped.
"The remaining Sandu soldiers and horses are reserved for reserve. This is a custom." Tu Ziji said without emotion.
Zhou Jun, Wu Meng and others also know that this is a custom, but they still feel sorry.
Chen Hai frowned slightly and thought to himself, is this just a routine?
Chen Hai looked at Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong. Without saying much, he boarded the Fujiao Ridge with the generals and saw that the Xiyuan side moved very quickly after the Taiwei Mansion's military order was issued.
At this time, the Liudu soldiers and horses had already pulled out from their respective camps, as if the six ferocious dragons with their fangs were gathering in the direction of the Xiyuan Army Commander's Mansion.
Xiyuan’s mountains are vast and nearly forty miles in depth. As the command and dispatch center, the Xiyuan Army Commander’s Mansion is located about ten miles southwest of Fujiaoyuan~IndoMTL.com~Chen Hai, they are standing on the Fujiao Ridge. Vaguely saw the army gathering there.
In the colonel on the north side of the General Administration’s Mansion, there are already several teams of elite horsemen who have been groomed and faintly revealed that they have the spirit of killing and fighting. Look at the number of elite horsemen standing in front of the stand. There were three to five hundred people, and Chen Hai guessed that they should be the elite soldiers transferred from their respective clans, such as Wei Yuqi, Fan Chun, Yao Qitai and other generals.
According to the usual practice, Wei, Fan, Yao and others have to carry out general inspections at the Xiyuan Army General Administration Office and lead their troops out of the camp before completing the entire recruitment process.
The seventh is not included in this campaign. There is no need for Chen Hai, Zhao Rong, and Tu Ziji to go to see Wei Yuqi, Fan Chun, Yao Qitai and other generals; there is nothing to do with them for this campaign.
"It's a **** mother, but it's cheap, Hua Zhedong, Hu Rong, these dogs|mothers!" Ran Hu and other camp generals grumbled and cursed.
Many battalions thought that defeating the rebels and regaining Qin Tongguan was a great achievement at their fingertips. They didn't even have a chance to go to war. Naturally, they were extremely dissatisfied, but this was the decision of the Taiwei Mansion. Apart from complaining, they did not What can I say.
Chen Hai asked Tu Ziji: "The Taiwei's mansion has no preliminary punishment for Tu Shuai and the others for failing Qintong Pass?"
"Uncle Qi and the others have been ordered to take the post of generals, and other Qin Tongguan soldiers have been assigned to the guard camp of General Wei Yuqi. Allowing them to participate in the battle to regain Qin Tongguan is also considered a crime and meritorious service. "Tu Ziji said.
Chen Hai nodded, Tu Zhongjin and the others carelessly failed Qintong Pass. It would be good if they could save their lives. For the time being, don't expect capable officials to resume their posts.
Next, Chen Hai asked Ran Hu and other battalion generals to take care of their own affairs, leaving Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong to speak. Seventy to eighty thousand refugees in the northern part of Taohuawu had to be assigned to their households, so they could only invite Tu Ziji. , Zhao Rong helped.
