The Golden Age Chapter 899: Like a tiger with wings
Yuwen reacted very quickly to the court. Qin Xiao immediately understood what he said when he said this. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes and said: "Even if the Black Mountain bandits have resentment towards the court, they must be incompatible with the Liaodong Army." /
"What's the difference?" Zhang Tailing doesn't understand the strangeness after all.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "The difference is big. If the Black Mountain bandits hate the court better than the Liaodong Army, we and them will definitely never die. If they hate the Liaodong Army deeply, we and the Black Mountain bandits may not be able to turn conflicts into jade. "
Zhang Tailing was a little surprised and said: "We are officers and soldiers, and Montenegrin bandits are mountain bandits. How can we turn fighting into jade?"
Yuwen Chengchao smiled faintly: "The Black Mountain bandits only thought that we were stationed in the Songyang Pasture to deal with them, so they would naturally be hostile to us, but if he knew that our target was not them, and that they were different from the Liaodong Army. Deal with it, do you think he will be hostile to us?"
"I also inquired in Kyoto. Many years ago, there was a rare drought in Northeast China. The court also allocated food for relief, but hundreds of people were still starved to death." Qin Xiao said slowly: "The Liaodong Army not only detained the relief victims. Many people took advantage of the opportunity to purchase land at low prices, causing a large number of people to be displaced and homeless. Many generals of the Liaodong Army were under the name of a thousand hectares of fertile land, more than those of the royal princes and nobles in the dynasty. There are many. Those homeless people have no choice but to fall into the grass and plunder for a living."
Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "I also know some of the Northeast bandit problems. The worst hits are Yingping County and Liaodong County. However, the official government of An Dong Duhu is located in Liaodong County. There are Liaodong Army fighting bandits everywhere, so the Northeast The banditry mainly occurred in Yingping County where we are now. At the beginning, all kinds of bandits were in groups, mostly mobs. It is said that the Liaodong Army has really wiped out a lot, but the remaining bandits began to break into pieces and rush to each other. In the end, there are only five or six bandits with the strongest strength left. This Black Mountain bandit is the most famous among them, and the Liaodong Army can’t help it."
"So the black mountain bandits should also understand that the great disaster was not because the court did not allocate food for relief, but the Liaodong army was full of private pockets and took the opportunity to exploit the people." Qin Xiao said: "So I think if the black mountain bandits have sensible people, they should Know the key to this."
Yuwen Chengchao thought for a while, and then said: "Since the Black Mountain bandits can deal with the Liaodong Army, there must be an expert in the middle."
"Grandpa, do you think the court might enlist them in peace?" Qin Xiao said suddenly.
Yuwen Chengchao was startled, and then said solemnly: "The black mountain bandits have long been identified as traitors by the court. If they really want to recruit security, it is impossible for the black mountain bandits to exist for so many years. I think they have already sent envoys to recruit security. Even if the imperial court has the heart to make peace, it might not be easy to make a decision. After all, the imperial court will certainly be scrupulous about the Liaodong Army. The Liaodong Army and the Black Mountain bandits are incompatible with each other. For many years, they have lost their face under the Black Mountain bandits. Of course, the Liaodong Army cannot stand aside. Watching the Black Mountain bandits were recruited and even resettled." After a pause, he sneered: "Besides the existence of the Black Mountain bandits, the Liaodong Army can ask the court for all kinds of materials from time to time. The Liaodong Army should have been able to support the bandits long ago. It's easy to play."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly, knowing that what Yuwen Chengchao said had touched the most important point.
The imperial court is in the northeast, the most worried thing is the Liaodong Army
To make trouble, so tolerate many things as much as possible. As long as everything in the Northeast is peaceful, the court will turn a blind eye to the Liaodong Army without being prepared, and try to comfort it as much as possible.
If the Liaodong Army is offended for the purpose of recruiting Black Mountain bandits, causing turmoil in the four counties of Northeast China, this is certainly not what the imperial court wants to see.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a report from outside: "Report, someone is outside the camp, please see General Yuwenlang!"
Yu Wencheng was stunned, a few people went out of the big tent, and looked up to the direction of the Yingmen to the south. Under the sunset, seeing a group of people pressing down outside the Yingmen, Yu Wencheng was a little confused and said to Qin Xiao:" I'll see what's going on."
Qin Xiao nodded, and Yu Wencheng walked away quickly.
Qin Xiao’s heart is also a little strange. I don’t know who will come here suddenly to see Yuwen Chengchao. There are still two thousand loyal troops on the south side of the Yangtze River. They will come after the Jianghuai Army takes over the city of Suzhou. But the speed will certainly not be so fast.
It didn't take long before I saw that Yuwen Chengchao let the group of people into the camp, and then I saw that Yuwen Chengchao brought a few people over here.
Qin Xiao knew that since Yu Wen Chengchao had brought people over, it must be a friend and not an enemy, so he greeted him.
Yu Wenchengchao held the wrist of a Qingshan man in one hand. The Qingshan man was in his forties and was thin, with a goatee under his jaw. His appearance was shaky, but his eyes were piercing. His face is also full of excitement.
"This is General Qin of Long Ruijun!" Yuwen Chengchao stopped and introduced the Qingshan man.
Without a word, the man in Qingshan went forward two steps, fell on one knee, arched his hands and said: "Caomin Yingchuan Sikong Ling, pay respect to General Qin!" The few people behind also knelt to the ground, Qi Qi saluted Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao was stunned, suddenly thinking of something, and lost his voice: "Are you Yingchuan Sikong Ling? Could it be that...?" Fortunately, he didn't say anything afterwards, and looked up at Yuwen Chengchao. , Yuwen Chengchao nodded with a smile: "Yes, I mentioned to the general before that Mr. Sikong is good at geography and geomantic omen and knows the underground veins well. He is a master in this way. The general said before that he should build a fire. Lei Jun, if there is no help from Mr. Sikong, I am afraid it will be difficult. So before leaving the customs, I sent someone to Yingchuan to deliver the letter, but I did not expect Mr. Sikong to be so fast."
Qin Xiao was very happy, knowing that Yuwen Chengchao was doing things properly, he said last time, Yuwen Chengchao remembered it, and even invited Sikong Ling to come to help.
He already knew that Sikong Ling was born as a tomb robber, and he really knew the geography and soil. It was indeed appropriate to have this person to form the Huo Lei Army.
"Mr. Sikong has worked hard all the way, and I am really grateful to be able to come out of the mountains to help." Qin Xiao arched his hands and said, "Huo Leijun will still rely on Mr. Huo Lei in the future."
Sikong Ling hurriedly said, "General Qin is polite." Looking at Yuwen Chengchao, "Young Master Yuwen has saved my life, but he has never had a chance to repay me. Now I can have the opportunity to repay the eldest son's kindness, then You die." Then he said: "The prestige of General Qin is also heard by the grassroots. I heard that Bohai Shizi killed innocent people in my Tang Dynasty, and even put on the ring in Kyoto, making fun of me, no one in Tang Dynasty, generals.
The blade traitor not only rejuvenated our country, but also avenged the innocent people who died. It is really a blessing to be able to serve under the general's command. "
Qin Xiao laughed. His deeds of killing Yuangai Wushuang in Kyoto were naturally spread long ago. Sikong Ling knew this, and it was natural for Sikong Ling to know this.
"After receiving the letter from the eldest son, I settled down with my family, handled the matter at hand immediately, and gathered a group of brothers to come together." Sikong Ling sighed, "I haven't picked up other things in this life. I got acquainted with a lot of people in the same class." Pointing back to the group of people behind him: "These are the Langdang of the Caomin, and there are also a few disciples of the Caomin. Although the Caomin has already washed his hands and no longer does that stall business, But in the past few years, I have been selling antiques, and I have received some disciples, and I have a little knowledge of the soil and geography. They come together and they can all use it."
Qin Xiao respected and said: "Mr. Sikong is really a man of love and righteousness. Although the eldest son was kind to you, you left your property and brought your own Lang Dang to help. Qin Xiao remembers this friendship."
Yuwen Chengchao also said with a smile: "I was also worried at the beginning. Mr. Sikong is well-funded and has lived a stable life these years. He may not be willing to go out. It’s just that he really needs the help of his husband. Write a letter, Mr. Disturbance is quiet, and I really feel sorry for it."
"Master, you don't need to say anything like this in the future." Sikong Ling said with a serious face: "I either choose not to come. Since I am here, this life will be handed to you. General Qin, we will be useful in the future. Place, just ask."
Qin Xiao instructed Lu Xiaolou: "Xiaolou, you arrange these brothers to live in, and then let the food room prepare food. They worked hard all the way, eating and drinking, and rested well." Then to Sikong Ling said: " Mr. speaks in the account."
Lu Xiaolou went to arrange board and lodging for everyone. Qin Xiao and a few people entered the tent and invited Sikongling to sit down. Then he asked Zhang Tailing to smile and said: "Little apprentice, come here and see Mr. Sikong, this You will work together in the future."
Qin Xiao also mentioned Huo Leijun to Zhang Tailing before. Although the details were not detailed, Zhang Tailing probably understood what was going on. He stepped forward to salute Sikongling. Sikongling heard that Qin Xiao called Zhang Tailing a "little apprentice" ", but didn't dare to neglect, and got up to pay the courtesy.
"Sir, I invite you here this time, mainly to form the Fire Thunder Army." Qin Xiao smiled.
"The general is polite." Sikong Ling said with a hint of doubt: "In his letter, the eldest son also mentioned the formation of the Huo Lei Army, but did not specify it. Cao Min has always wondered whether this Huo Lei Army is. What do you mean?"
Yuwen Chengchao explained: "The reason why the general wanted to form the Huo Lei Army was because of this little apprentice." After taking a look at Zhang Tailing, he continued: "Zhang Tailing can make a weapon. The power is not small, but you need a master who can distinguish the quality of the soil, and you also need someone who can dig the pit the fastest, bury the weapon in the soil, and ignite it, it can burst...!" Do He made an exaggerated action and whispered softly: "When it bursts, everything close to it will be destroyed."
Sikong Ling was surprised: "The kind of weapon the old man said is fire and thunder?"
