Fu Song

Chapter 116 Reunion

The ground trembled slightly. Immediately, the sentinel came back from a distance like flying, broke through the wind and snow, and went straight to the red and green colored gate, and said loudly: "Here we come, the commander is here."

Before the words fell, in the eyes of everyone, through the fluttering snowflakes, they saw the long cavalry team coming here in an endless stream.

Luo Gang waved his arms and shouted loudly: "Let's have fun!"

The ten big locks were raised high, and the cheerful music immediately resounded between the heaven and the earth.

It turned out to be a song of birds and phoenixes.

When Suo Na, drums, gongs and cymbals were played together, Xiao Ding led the team and approached Dacai Gate.

Seeing this formation, Xiao Ding was taken aback. He just informed Shentangbao that he was going to arrive yesterday. In one night, they actually created such a large formation?

Slowly riding his horse through the colorful gate, Xiao Cheng came over with a bowl of wine in his hand, held it up high, and said loudly: "Sprinkle a glass of water to wash away the dust, Commander, please!"

Xiao Ding looked at his second younger brother and couldn't help laughing. It could be seen that the second younger brother had suffered a lot during this period of time. His face, which was originally as white as jade, was now flushed with cold, and some places even cracked. There are also scabs on the ears, and the hand holding the wine is still heavily scabbed.

Reaching out to take the wine bowl, he looked up to the sky and drank it all in one gulp, "Good wine."

Naturally, this kind of wine is not much better, because today Xiao Cheng mixed water into the wine, at least half a catty of water was mixed into a catty of wine, otherwise it would not be enough to drink!

But as long as one's mood is up, even clear water can taste like fine wine.

Every soldier of the Guangrui Army who passed through the colorful gate would be offered a glass of water and wine.

Xiao Cheng led Xiao Ding and the thousand soldiers to the open space under the main castle of Shentangbao.There, two thousand iron kites are gathering and waiting for Xiao Ding's review.

"Brother, this is the iron kite I told you about. Of course, they are not equipped with full armor and suitable weapons, and their combat effectiveness must not reach the peak. But the basic qualities of these people are here. With a little guidance, these people will be your invincible weapon in the northwest." Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

"I really didn't expect that you could do this!" Xiao Ding looked at Xiao Cheng, both joyful and emotional: "I originally thought that it would take at least a year or so before I got to Hengshan. Get rid of the Hengshan tribes, but you not only did all these things in a month, but also far exceeded everyone's estimates. Hahaha, iron kite, you have tied up the entire Hengshan tribe. It's time for our chariot!"

"Brother, this is just the first step." Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "The only thing that can really tie them together is the petty profit in front of us. These soldiers may be very satisfied with the treatment in front of them. , but the patriarchs and big shots behind their backs want more, so you need to bring them to get it, big brother."

"Only blood and fire, as long as they are brave enough, after defeating the enemy, they will naturally get it." Xiao Ding said. "I have never been a stingy person, nor am I a person who clings to the idea that people who are not of my race must be different. We have always had foreign soldiers in the Song Dynasty!"

"Brother, I didn't set up this iron kite for you to use them as foreign soldiers." Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Their real combat effectiveness, with a little training, is much stronger than your horse army. In the future, they It will become your main force in sweeping the Northwest."

"So powerful?" Xiao Ding asked in doubt.

"You can ask Xin Jian and He Zheng later!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "After you have established your prestige in their hearts and established the prestige that you are the boss among the tribes big and small in Hengshan, You should also mobilize infantry from the tribes in Hengshan to form the mountain heavy infantry, I have already figured out the name for you, it will be called Bubazi."

Xiao Ding was stunned and said, "Why do you give such weird names, Iron Kite, Bu Ba Zi, they always sound so unpleasant!"

Xiao Cheng smiled: "After listening to it a lot, it will naturally be pleasing to the ears. Brother, the iron kite is a heavy cavalry unit, and the Bubazi chooses those who can go up and down the hills and go in and out of the streams from among the Qiangs in Hengshan. It is composed of people with light feet and good walking skills, and it is more powerful when used in conjunction with iron kites."

"Let's talk about this later!" Xiao Ding shook his head and said, "I still have enough pawns now. And pawns, I trust the Song people more, and they are more disciplined."

Xiao Cheng nodded with a smile. What the elder brother said is not bad, but the infantry he wants to build is not quite the same as ordinary infantry. It is more similar to an army that performs special tasks. It can interact with ordinary infantry. supplementary.

As Xiao Ding said, this matter can be discussed later.

The two thousand iron kites really shocked Xiao Ding, especially the five hundred guys who had already been equipped with armor. Seeing them, Xiao Ding was in a daze for a while, as if what appeared in front of him was not his iron kite, but It is the Pishi Army of the Liao Kingdom.

After a short period of trance, I became excited again. When the major incidents in the Northwest came to an end and the Emperor and Song Dynasty attacked Daliao, the iron kite in front of me would definitely make the Liao people's cavalry feel uncomfortable.

After inspecting the iron kite, Xiao Ding watched these people return to the barracks, and said, "Is it all composed of party members? Even the generals leading the team are all party members?"

"There is no set rule for this." Xiao Cheng said: "I made it very clear when it was formed. Anyone can join the iron kite. As long as he is capable enough to become the leader of the army, he can speak with his own fists. Speaking of which, the current six battalion generals are all shot. They are exactly the same as when you first came to the Guangrui Army Horse Camp. If you want Song people to enter, you will naturally have to rely on your own true skills."

Xiao Ding nodded slightly.

"Brother, although these people are all from the Hengshan tribes, but when I formed the group, I messed up the entire tribe. Basically, there will not be too many people from the same tribe in each battalion and team. This cuts off their possible group behavior. Another thing that surprised me is that none of the six battalion generals who came out of this contest came from the big clan of the party. All of them were from some little-known small tribes. It came out. But it's a good thing."

"It's indeed a good thing to keep each other in check. I'll slowly mix people from the Song Dynasty into it in the future! Relying too much on party members won't last long." Xiao Ding said.

"Today, because the eldest brother has to clean up some of the border army's hand and tail, there is no banquet arranged today. Tomorrow, Shentangbao will hold a banquet to celebrate. All the leaders of Hengshan, big and small, will come, especially Ren Duozhong and Tuoba Yangwei will both come to see Big Brother in person."

"What's the difference between the two?"

"It's all about Ren Duozhong. After all, he is getting older, and he thinks more about the immediate interests. Even if he thinks about the long-term, there is no urgent need. But Tuoba Yangwei is different. This person is young, but only four years old. He is in his early teens and has received a systematic education in the Song Dynasty. This person is unwilling to be subordinated to others and is ambitious. If he is used well, he will be able to help the elder brother firmly hold Hengshan in his hands." Xiao Cheng Thinking about it, he said: "This is a very capable person, but also a person who is not easy to control."

"I understand what you mean." Xiao Ding said.

While speaking, thousands of people have been orderly led to the garrison points one by one. The soldiers sat in the warm green brick and tile houses, drank the hot mutton soup, and laughed from time to time. Comes out of every house.

"This is the role of the plan you said!" Xiao Ding said: "Thanks to the plan you prepared, otherwise you would be blinded many times. It is precisely because everything has been thought of before, and everything has been done without any mistakes. Only then will the journey be smooth and smooth.”

"Did anyone die on the road?" Xiao Cheng asked.

"When I left, there wasn't a single case. It's a miracle!" Xiao Ding said proudly, "If it wasn't for the fact that you made such a big deal here, I wouldn't have rushed here in such a hurry. But it's here Looking at it here, I feel that I am worrying unnecessarily, and I should come with the big army."

"Brother cares about younger brother!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile. "Come on, brother, go and see the nest specially built for you and sister-in-law. You haven't come these days, but I've taken over the nest. If you come, I have to move."

"No hurry, I'll just wait on the top of Shentangbao and see how many people can reach Shentangbao within the stipulated time, and how many people are still worthy of use?" Xiao Ding said. : "Looking at their appearance in Dingbian City, my heart is half cold."

"No matter how bad an army is, there are always some useful talents." Xiao Cheng said.

Finally, a Dingbian army appeared in Shentangbao. It was the cavalry led by Miao De. The two hundred cavalry did not appear at the same time, but were separated by about two sticks of incense, which made Xiao Ding's face even darker. some.

They still arrived within the stipulated time.Xiao Ding waved his hand, motioning to take these people down to rest.

"There are only two hundred horses in a battalion." Xiao Ding said, "However, a simple march has lost even effective command. The entire team has drawn so long! Are they in a long-distance race? This Miao De is not one that can be used."

"I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to be a general under elder brother." Xiao Cheng chuckled. "Didn't Miao Shou ask to be dismissed and returned to the fields? Let him go back to fulfill his filial piety!"

"These two hundred soldiers should be the confidantes of the Miao family. It will take time to get them back, but because they were carefully built by the Miao family, their combat effectiveness should not be too bad. Throw them into the iron kite to hone them Practice." Xiao Ding said. "If you grind it out, then you are a good soldier. If you can't grind it out, then you can only do other simple things."
