Gu Liubai glanced at Zheng Wuya and said, "How many people are there in the coalition forces of Goryeo and your Zheng family? Duke Pei and his generals have never fought any battles in the border army, and they are not paper tigers. Have you ever seen those border soldiers? Even if they have no food or drink, they can catch grass leaves and snow water, and they can last for more than ten days. If there is no way, they can even eat the enemy's meat."
Zheng Wuya said solemnly, "I have never underestimated my Tang Dynasty border soldiers. There are only more than 2,500 people from Goryeo, but these people are the most elite iron prisoners in Goryeo. These people can be regarded as dead soldiers. Every time they go out to participate in the war, the people in their families will be concentrated in the military camp. If these people are not brave enough in the battle, all their families will be beheaded in public. As for the private army of my Zheng family, although there are only more than 2,000 people,
Most of the people who were recruited were old soldiers who were depressed and unsuccessful. Although I am not a practitioner, Li’s confidentiality has two iron smelting workshops in Fufeng County. On the surface, they are iron smelting workshops, but they are actually practiced places, and the friends there are no names. However, this time the private army assigned to our Zheng family made people lose their eyes. Although these people are not the direct lineage of Li, the methods they practice are as fierce as the direct lineage of Li. No practitioners of the same level are their opponents."
“By the way.”
Zheng Wuya said this and slapped his head and said, "I also forgot a little. Before the battle, this iron prisoner army in Goryeo would take secret medicine. This secret medicine has some sequelae to the body, such as being irritable and irritable, prone to premature aging, but it will make them crazy, not knowing the pain, and it is difficult to feel tired. Ordinary soldiers will be sore and weak in their hands and feet after rushing once or twice a day, and they will be unable to fight again, but after a big battle, they will be fine if they go through dozens of miles to fight."
Gu Liubai nodded and glanced at Shangguan Zhaoyi again.
Shangguan Zhaoyi immediately unfolded a marching map on the front of a carriage beside him, and the two of them quickly made a dot and scratched on it.
Seeing the two of them doing this, Zheng Wuya's body suddenly stiffened, and a cold chill surged in his heart. He found that he seemed to have made a huge mistake.
...
In front of an old man with white hair and beards, Xue Jingxian and Han Yumo.
The courtyard is deep, and the shade of trees covers the small building where they are.
The old man's surname is Zhang and his name is Zhang Shengnian. He is the owner of Shangtian Porcelain Store, Nipin Town.
After listening to Xue Jingxian's story, the old man sighed, but stretched out his finger and pointed at the big trees outside the window that covered the sky and the sun, saying, "Prince Xue, have you seen these trees in my courtyard?"
Xue Jingxian frowned slightly, turned to look at the big trees that only several people could join, and said in a deep voice, "What does Mr. Zhang mean?"
Zhang Shengnian said calmly, "These trees were planted by my husband of the Zhang family themselves. When they planted, they were just small trees that were more than one person tall, but now they have become such giant trees. Although our Zhang family is good at speaking in Niping Town, they have never taken the lead in doing dangerous things. The reason why my Zhang family can last for so many years is to be stable. In fact, whether it is the army of Duke Pei or the rebels you mentioned that passed by, our Zhang family can try to be at peace with them and provide them with their needs. Why do we have to take risks? In particular, we will use all our clans to invite all the clans in Niping Town to fight with the County Commander Xue. This is even more impossible. If we fail, will the foundation of the Zhang family be destroyed in my hands?"
Xue Jingxian turned his head, looked at Zhang Shengnian, nodded slowly, and said, "Old Zhang, what you said is naturally yours, but I didn't go anywhere else, but I came here to you, just because I know you and these big families in the town have many guards. I heard before that they have practiced, just like a private army."
Zhang Shengnian's expression changed slightly and said, "It's not worthy of hearing."
Xue Jingxian said sincerely, "Old Zhang, this is a major event related to the fate of the country. If Fufeng County is always away from the Tang Dynasty and the war cannot be calmed down, how can it be safe here? You can not let the Zhang family take risks. You can give the army you trained to me to rule. If I win, the contribution will be counted on the Zhang family. What do you think?"
Zhang Shengnian instantly looked stern and sneered, "Prince Xue, don't be stolen or talk nonsense. He said that there is no private army training, what are you going to bother?"
Xue Jingxian took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Shengnian, and said in a stern manner, "Old Zhang, are you really unwilling to contribute to the Tang Dynasty?"
Zhang Shengnian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It would be meaningless for County Magistrate Xue to say this."
Han Yumo couldn't hold back at this time, and suddenly jumped up, "Zhang Shengnian, who is meaningless? Aren't your people just staying in the old tiled house next to you? Is it interesting to talk lies with your eyes open?"
Zhang Shengnian sneered, "Captain Han still wants to force us?"
Xue Jingxian patted Han Yumo on the shoulder and signaled him not to get angry. Then he slowly stood up and didn't speak. At this time, the sound of swords and weapons suddenly sounded in the wind, and then the energy roared, like a big wave hitting the rocks.
Zhang Shengnian was slightly stunned and said, "You are really strong?"
Han Yumo sneered and said, "I guess there are two brothers who are not as good as County Magistrate Xue, and your people are rude. I guess they fight on both sides as they talk."
Zhang Shengnian laughed and said, "It turns out that he brought a powerful helper, but when we fight, we will be in trouble. Your people may suffer."
Han Yumo laughed and said, "That would probably disappoint you."
Zhang Shengnian stood up, sorted out the folds of his clothes, and said, "That seems not the cat or dog in Fufeng County."
Han Yumo heard the sound of the surging true energy of the practitioner outside disappearing, and he felt more and more proud, "Zhang Shengnian, we have long felt that you are probably not kind, so we specially found two powerful practitioners. Now that we have made military achievements, the contribution will not fall on you."
Zhang Shengnian glanced at him without saying anything. After a while, many people suddenly heard footsteps at the side door of the quiet courtyard. Han Yumo was immediately overjoyed. He thought that it must be the two young talents who conquered those people and brought them over.
However, when the crowd appeared in his sight, not only him, but even Xue Jingxian, who was silent, was shocked.
Lu Letian and Guo Que were both disheveled in their hair, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and were tied up by a large group of people and pushed over.
A bitter chill surged in Xue Jingxian's heart.
At this time, the people who were escorting Lu Letian and Guo Que were of all kinds and ages. Several of them had their clothes that were stimulated by true energy and had exploded. However, the clothes exposed inside the clothes were black armor. The armors were well-made and had mysterious patterns on the armor pieces.
Han Yumo was stunned.
The fuck is not that the private army was escorted by the two, but that the two were escorted by the private army?
Lu Letian lowered his head, so ashamed that he didn't dare to look at the two of them.
Guo Que smiled bitterly and looked at Xue Jingxian and said, "Mr. Xue County, we have fallen this time. These people are not the private army of the gentry, they are clearly the elite of the rebels. Among the dozens of people, there are more than a dozen practitioners, and their true energy is the same way. They are extremely strong and can't even escape with one move."
Xue Jingxian turned to look at Zhang Shengnian.
Zhang Shengnian smiled faintly and said, "Minister Xue, I'm sorry. I said that if a small family like us wants to live, we can first see the situation."
A man in black in short hair looked at Zhang Shengnian and said, "Mr. Zhang, one of these two young men is a monk of the Taoist sect, and the other is a noble family. His martial arts and cultivation are not of average standards. Li Hu was broken into their hands. How do they deal with it now?"
"Grass!"
Han Yumo cursed in his heart, and suddenly burst out, and a tiger pounced on Zhang Shengnian in front of him like a food.
The situation was not good at this time, and he felt that if he controlled the old man, he might have the chance to get out of it.
However, he rushed towards Zhang Shengnian. Zhang Shengnian looked at him and smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and patted him.
With a loud bang, Han Qiumo realized something was wrong in an instant, and he built a bridge with both hands, but his whole body was instantly beaten backwards. When he fell heavily to the ground, his blood and blood in his body were so tumbling that he could not breathe at all, and his hands and arms could no longer be lifted.
Han Yumo lay on the ground, looking at Zhang Shengnian and was shocked.
This old man who looks old is actually a powerful practitioner!
Zhang Shengnian knocked down Han Yumo with a palm, but looked at Xue Jingxian and said seriously, "Prince Xue, you are a talent. It is time to hire people. How about the county lieutenant Xue joining us?"
Xue Jingxian shook his head and said, "Does the same way and do not plan for each other."
Zhang Shengnian sighed with great regret, then ordered the man in black short hair and said, "Tie them all and go to Jiuqing Mountain Pass with us."
Guo Que was shocked, "You guys go to Jiuqing Mountain Pass, too?"
Zhang Shengnian laughed and said, "Duke Pei is a real old fox. Although he is a newcomer and may not be able to figure out the situation for a while, he has to be careful. Let's go to Jiuqing Mountain Pass and see if he has any conspiracy along the way, or as a support so that no one wants to set up an ambush in the mountain pass."
Guo Que was crying without tears, "I want to take you to beat the thieves, but now I just fell into the thief's nest?"
"This is a coincidence, and it is also a fault for the local snakes such as Xue County Magistrate and others to be well-informed." Zhang Shengnian smiled and looked at Xue Jingxian, who was allowed to tie the man in black and short hair to tie him up without resisting, and said calmly, "These people will take them to sacrifice their flags when they fight with Duke Pei's army. There is also that young family brother, maybe some people in Duke Pei's army recognize him and can use them to exchange for something."
"Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated!" Lu Letian kept lowering his head, but at this moment he couldn't help but open his mouth and curse.
When he thought of the scene of being tied to the army and showing it to the public, he felt that it was an unbearable insult.
But as soon as he cursed, he heard a man in black beside him sneer, "Noisy!" Then a ball of smelly dirty cloth was stuffed into his mouth.
"Don't be humiliated? What's wrong with insulting you?" the man said disdainfully.
