Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 706 Divide the horse

  The sound of the piano was rustling, Zhao Hanzhang did not sing, but Fu Tinghan still heard the distant realm of high mountains and far rivers.

  He leaned against the door frame and looked at her quietly, the impetuousness in his heart was smoothed away, and even the fatigue was calmed down, his body was fluffy, relaxed and comfortable.

  After Zhao Hanzhang finished playing a piece, he knew what he was doing, so he looked up at Fu Tinghan, and saw him smiling at her, so she couldn't help smiling, and asked proudly, "How did I play?"

  Fu Tinghan nodded and said, "It sounds good."

  With his approval, Zhao Hanzhang decided to give the score to Liu Kun.

  Three days before the winter solstice, Wu Erlang's caravan and the Jinyang army escorted the goods back to Luoyang.

   This time, they not only brought back a large number of horses, but also a lot of furs and medicinal materials.

  Bei Gongchun and Xie Shi heard the news, one led his soldiers, the other urged Zhao Erlang, and ran back to the city overnight to ask for a horse.

   As soon as he entered Zhao's house, Zeng Yue was already waiting. He is now Zhao Hanzhang's deputy general, and he also wanted to get some war horses for Zhao's army.

  The begging army was a little slow to receive the news, and arrived in Luoyang the next day. As soon as they entered Zhao's house, they saw that Bei Gongchun and others had arrived early, and they were immediately relieved.

Li Tou couldn't help holding Chen Wu, and said in a low voice: "General, this can't work, we are just mercenaries, not under Zhao Shijun's subordinates, the news is always one level behind, and even if we can arrive at the same time, can there be good things?" If she doesn't give her own army first, will she give us mercenaries?"

   These words provoked Chen Wu's thoughts over the past few months, he pursed his lips, "You mean, we followed her."

  Li Tou whispered: "If Mr. Zhao is willing to accept, or we will follow."

  Chen Wu bowed his head in thought, if Zhao Hanzhang could keep them from running around, he would naturally be willing to do so.

  Gucheng’s harvest this year is barely adequate. The land Zhao Hanzhang allocated to them yielded a lot, and many houses were built this year. No one said anything about it, but the whole army did have the idea of ​​settling in Gucheng.

  The old and the weak they accompanied the army also settled down. Zhao Hanzhang also asked people to open a school in Gucheng, begging for those children in the army, regardless of whether they have parents or family members, they can go to school.

  While going to school and working at the same time, Chen Wu could tell that they had a heart for Zhao Hanzhang. Although Chen Wu was still the number one in their hearts, Zhao Hanzhang's status in their hearts was not low.

Before the tax announcement was released, the gentry left in Gucheng scolded Zhao Hanzhang in private. After it came out, there were some voices of criticism. The children of the begging army quarreled with those gentry a few times, and finally started fighting .

   It can be seen that they have a heart for Zhao Hanzhang.

   After another two years, even if the begging army is still Chen Wu's begging army, it will also be stamped with Zhao Hanzhang's mark.

  Since this is the case, it is better to put it into effect as soon as possible, and there will be more benefits.

  Anyway, he doesn't want to wander around begging with people anymore.

   Really think that an army is easy to support?

  Chen Wu whispered: "Then it will take effect today?"

  Li Tou nodded again and again, "Let's take effect today."

  Chen Wu made up his mind and immediately turned around and entered the garden.

  Bei Gongchun and others who were sitting and waiting in the garden had seen him a long time ago, so they didn't know what he was muttering to his lieutenant outside the door, and it took him a long time to come in.

  As soon as they entered the door, Chen Wu greeted them with fists together and a smile.

Bei Gongchun sat down and nodded, as a greeting, Xie Shi also bowed his head slightly, but Zhao Erlang happily got up and greeted him with fists, "General Chen, when we are free, let's meet again, last time We were tied, but Mr. Xie said it was because you let me on purpose, you didn’t send out your own elite, this time you have to fight elite soldiers, don’t allow me again.”

   Chen Wu's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Little general, the group of people under my command are all from mud legs. If they can't do anything else, they should run fast and have strong legs."

"Our Qihuo army used to wander around and run hundreds of miles barefoot. The soles of our feet were thicker than the soles of our shoes. You are naturally inferior to me as pawns, so you shouldn't use your own weaknesses to attack my strengths," Chen Wu said: " I heard that Zhao's army's cavalry is very powerful. Needless to say, the Zhao's army under Shijun, there are few armies that can compare with it. The Zhao's army under the little general should also be very powerful. Why don't we compare with the cavalry?"

  Bei Gongjun knew that he wanted to fight horses as soon as he heard it, so he couldn't help snorting.

   Zhao Jiajun's cavalry is not bad, but Chen Wu's words are overrated.

  In the Jin Dynasty, in terms of cavalry, the Xiliang Army in his hands was Gou Xi's cavalry, and its combat power was also higher than that of Zhao's army.

   Chen Wu's words were clearly seeking horses from Zhao Hanzhang.

  Everyone present heard the sound, except Zhao Erlang.

Zhao Erlang didn't understand what Chen Wu was implying, but the young man had his own persistence and cognition, he said: "Sister said, what is long and short is the general's consideration, I don't have the ability to be handsome yet, Just be the vanguard first.”

He said: "Now we are training our own troops. Now that we know that infantry is my weakness, we must train even harder. I saw that in terms of the bravery of the cavalry, no one can beat General Beigong's Xiliang. Army, but in terms of the ferocity of the infantry, no one can surpass General Chen's begging army. Now there are few horses in the army, the cavalry needs to be trained, and the infantry needs to be trained even more. So let's compare it again. Elite soldiers, how are you?"

  Chen Wu: "This..."

  Chen Wu didn't expect him to say such words.

"Why, General Chen is not afraid of Erlang, is he?" Zhao Hanzhang came out of the room with a smile, followed by Ji Yuan, Ming Yu and Fan Ying, and said with a smile: "I'm still afraid of breaking he?"

  Chen Wu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Bei Gongchun and others also stood up and saluted.

  Zhao Hanzhang pressed his hand to let them excuse himself, and then sat down on the first mat, "Let's all sit down and talk."

She said to Chen Wu: "General, just go out and train him for me. This kid has learned some tactics of war. It's time to be excited, but it's all on paper. It can't compare with the general who has experienced hundreds of battles. If you want to talk about the bravery of infantry, we Several armies are no better than your beggar army."

  Chen Wu hurriedly said: "It's all a last resort, and it's a desperate fight. How can it be compared to making the king strategize and use soldiers like gods?"

"Okay, there's no need to talk about mutual compliments." Zhao Hanzhang turned his head to look at Bei Gongchun and Xie Shi, and said, "I know the reason for your visit. This time, I will let Wei Matou come over for the horses sent by Jinyang." Select, pick out the foals that have not yet entered the battlefield, and distribute the rest to each army as war horses, you must raise them well, these horses are hard-earned."

   On the way back, Wu Erlang and the others were robbed by the Xiongnu army. Fortunately, most of the horses were saved, but the Jinyang army who escorted them back suffered many casualties and took away a lot of money. Zhao Hanzhang was quite heartbroken.

  With these horses, Zhao Hanzhang's public treasury, which was richer because of taxes, was much empty.

  Bei Gongchun and Xie Shi responded excitedly. Chen Wu was a little anxious, and hurried before Zhao Hanzhang said the distribution plan: "Master, I have something to discuss with you."

  Zhao Hanzhang was about to divide the horses. Hearing this, he paused and asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

  Chen Wu said seriously, "It's very urgent."

  Zhao Hanzhang glanced at Ji Yuan, then got up and took Chen Wu to the study to discuss.

See you tomorrow
