Chapter 550: Meet the White Horse Gang
On the eighth day of the seventh month, the sky turned cloudy and the air was moist, as if a storm was brewing.
Fu Jingtao rode out of the old Caomen in the east of the city early in the morning. Qiao Hui took Ye Huayu as his companion, intending to go to the imperial village to take a look at the Feng Shui, and then inspect several wineries that were intended to be sold.
When we arrived outside the city gate, we saw three floors in front of the notice board, and three floors outside were filled with heroes from the rivers and lakes. They were chirping and talking loudly, some were smiling, some were enthusiastic, and some were depressed and lost. Some were constantly excited.
The ground left, and people kept rushing in to read the notice.
It turned out that the Song Dynasty was struck while the iron was hot, and posted the "Four Seas Recruitment List", officially recruited warriors to join the imperial guards, listed the selection criteria and related treatments, and promised those who had outstanding military achievements could be awarded marquis and generals in the future. For those wandering around the world,
For unknown warriors, this is a rare opportunity to change their destiny - they have no family background and no connections to support them, so it is not easy to make a name for themselves! If they can follow the battle flag of the Song Dynasty to expand their territory, returning home in glory is no longer a dream.
The Song Dynasty created the Qingyun List for the first time, and Zhao Guangyi presided over the opening ceremony, allowing the heroes of the martial arts world to see the sincerity of recruiting talents in the Song Dynasty. Born in a chaotic world, you have to meet a wise master, what else do you want? People who practice martial arts bleed, sweated and fought desperately.
Isn’t it natural to achieve a future?
"Brother Fu!"
Li Jiheng rode a dark cloud covered with snow. He was wearing strong clothes, half of his body of iron armor, with bows and arrows hanging beside his saddle, holding a stick with eyebrows in one hand, looking majestic from a distance, and it was worthy of being
He is a general genius who fights all the imperial guards invincible.
Fu Jingtao smiled and bowed, "General Li!"
Li Jiheng glanced at the heroes who were huddled in front of the notice board, and he felt quite dissatisfied. In the eyes of experienced commanders, he would rather command a group of farmers than lead a group of unruly and complex warriors. You should know that the two armies were
Fighting is not about individual fighting and ruthlessness. It emphasizes the implementation of orders, cooperation with each other, advance and retreat together, and win the battle with the joint efforts of tens of millions of people. The most taboo thing is that the soldiers and generals below will do their own things and do not obey orders. Any invincible iron army
, there can only be one will, one voice, and one direction. Although all the heroes in the world have unique skills, they will be like a loose sand when they are pinched together, and they can only die on the battlefield.
Fu Jingtao noticed his expression and leaned closer and said softly: "Is General Xiao Li not optimistic about this recruitment move?"
Li Jiheng spoke frankly and said with a lip voice: "These people are used to fighting alone and cannot gather together to form a formation. Once they really face the enemy's charge, they will collapse in an instant."
Fu Jingtao smiled and said, "Of course it's not possible to pull them directly to the battlefield. But if you have rigorous training, warriors of the same number of people should be able to crush ordinary soldiers."
Li Jiheng laughed: "Does Brother Fu also know the military strategy and the strategy of leading the army?"
Fu Jingtao touched the tip of his nose and admitted honestly: "I don't understand military tactics."
Li Jiheng raised his chest and said proudly: "I understand! If ten people fight head-on for a team, warriors can win; if one team of hundreds of people fight, ordinary soldiers have a 70% chance of winning; if more than five hundred people join in the battle, ordinary soldiers will win.
undoubtedly!"
His statement actually represents the general view of the senior officials of the imperial guards, that is, the role of recruiting warriors to join the army is limited, and they will not only find it difficult to train and command, but will also undermine military discipline and cause the army's combat effectiveness to decline. If Zhao Kuangyin had not been too powerful and prestige was too high.
, who is willing to call these people in the martial arts world to suppress the recruitment of troops?
Fu Jingtao smiled and said, "General Li, how about we bet?"
Li Jiheng shivered when he heard the word "bet" and asked vigilantly: "What are you betting on?"
Fu Jingtao said: "I will select 500 warriors to form a battalion. You will select 500 imperial guards as the battalion, practice battlefield confrontation, and win the flag! How about it, do you dare to gamble?"
Li Jiheng was relieved and grinned, "Brother Fu, you, a layman, actually want to overwhelm me on the battlefield? Dream in the daytime! What are you going to bet?"
Fu Jingtao said: "Ten thousand taels of silver, ten horses!"
Li Jiheng slapped his thigh: "Go a bet!" Such a good thing that makes pie fall from the sky is better! He swore a sworn with Fu Jingtao, smiling from ear to ear.
The entrance of the White Horse Gang was about twenty miles away from the city. The two of them walked through the forest and crossed the water and arrived before noon.
The first thing that comes to the eye is the forage grass stretching like a lake and sea on the hills, with purple, white and pink flowers dotted among them, forming a magnificent and fresh picture. At the foot of the hills, there are circles of wooden fences scattered
There were more than a thousand horses mixed in colorful colors, either lowering their heads to eat grass, rubbing their ears, chasing and playing, or receiving training, and the horses were neighing one after another.
The men in groups of three or three were busy in the field. Occasionally, a knight shouted loudly and swung his horses to sway, causing a commotion to the horses, and it rushed over like a tide.
There are several rows of bungalows on one side of the horse farm, half used as a forage warehouse and horse shed, and the other half is for people to live and use. The house looks rough and simple, without much attention.
Li Jiheng is the next generation leader who is focused on cultivating the door, or Zhao Kuangyin's junior brother, so there is no need to say how shameful they are. As soon as the two of them kicked off their horses, Zheng Peng, the leader of the White Horse Gang, had already gone out to greet him in person, and said aloud from a distance: "Li
Brother, what gust of wind blows you?" He is strong and powerful, as strong as a lion, with a rough appearance, about thirties, wearing a sleeveless shirt with open chest and exposed arms, with a black chest and a black body
With strong masculinity.
Li Jiheng smiled and said, "I heard from the fourth son of the Cao family that you have entered a group of Dayuan foals here, and they are not wild and untamed. I want to have some fun. I wonder if my elder brother welcomes you?"
Zheng Peng waved his hand and said with a sigh: "You and I are a family, why bother to see each other? I will ask Nie Xiaohu to accompany you to pick up horses and train them. If you have the ability, you will tame your riding!"
Li Jiheng was eager to try and say, "One word is certain!"
Zheng Peng walked closer as he spoke, looking at Fu Jingtao who was as calm as a mountain. He couldn't help but cheer in his heart and hesitated: "This little brother is very handsome, I don't know if it is..."
"Fu Jingtao, the top of the Song Dynasty Qingyun List!"
Zheng Peng was stunned for a moment and said movedly: "Are you the young hero Xuanyuan Fu Jingtao?"
Fu Jingtao clasped his fists and said, "It's just below! Fu took the opportunity to come to the door today, and I would like to give in to Gang Zheng!"
Zheng Peng couldn't believe that he would be so young, and asked again: "Yesterday, you defeated Li Yaoguang of the Southern Tang Dynasty one after another, and Murong Buqi of the Northern Liao Dynasty?"
Fu Jingtao nodded and said, "Not bad."
Zheng Peng praised: "Sweeping the Southern Tang Dynasty and slashing the Northern Liao Dynasty. He is worthy of being a good man in the Song Dynasty! If Young Master Fu does not dislike him, how about Zheng asking you to shout "Brother"?"
How could Fu Jingtao refuse other people's kindness and shouted: "Brother Zheng!"
