Fourth update!

Nie Qing, who restored his real name, was once a top assassin who was famous in the world. He, who had never lost his hand, is now serving as a guard under his mission target.

Ke Qing was unwilling to be an official. At first, Zhang Chao asked him to be his personal guard and a ninth-rank official. Later, he raised the price and directly wanted to be a 8th-rank coach, but he still smiled and refused. He really didn't care about this.

Zhang Chao finally gave Ke Qing 100 taels of gold, which was considered labor expenses.

Zhang Chao took advantage of one hundred taels of gold, and Ke Qing was not polite at all and accepted it directly. But he got what he paid for, and Zhang Chao's 100 taels of gold was not a loss. Ke Qing collected the money, and the first thing he did was to arrange his daughter Ke Qing to the backyard of Zhongzhou Yaya in Taozhou City and be a female bodyguard in the inner courtyard of the Zhang family.

The second thing Ke Qing did was to choose a personal guard for Zhang Chao.

Shuanzi Daniu and the other six Zhang Chao's original personal soldiers were disdained by Ke Qing to think that they were useless. In the end, Zhang Chao came forward and asked Ke Qing to agree to stay. But he could not be a personal guard. Zhang Chao changed the six people to his own orderly soldiers, and was specifically responsible for the service.

As for Zhang Chao's personal guard, Ke Qing personally chose it.

Selected from the nearly 10,000 soldiers in Taozhou and countless people, and finally selected two hundred young brave men. Zhang Chao divided these two hundred people into four teams and each gave them the number.

The first team, the number Silver Gun, is equipped with the iconic Silver Gun.

The second team, the number Black Cloud Long Sword, is equipped with the iconic horizontal sword.

The third team, the number Blue Feather Lost Yandu, is equipped with the iconic painted blue Feather Longbow.

The fourth team, number Tielin Equin Capital, equipped with Hexi Horse.

Although the number of people is small, each with only fifty people, they each have their own emphasis, including guns, swords, bows and cavalry, long-range melee battles, cavalry shooting and infantry battles.

Originally, Ke Qing wanted to choose 200 good-looking people to give them full-time guards. However, Zhang Chao's idea was different. He wanted to personally build an elite special combat force that could both be close to the body guard and charge forward.

The four capitals each gave a flag, and the flag was marked with guns, swords, bows and cavalry. However, although the four capitals each had their own emphasis, they were all equipped with complete equipment. The silver spears and sub-joints were not only equipped with stairs and spears, but also equipped with horizontal swords, bows and arrows. Because horses here are cheap, everyone also got a horse.

The personal soldiers of the four capitals are collectively known as Taozhou Ya Bing.

This is a special force, and Zhang Chao hopes to build them into a special combat elite. He can become an all-round elite. He can step down immediately and ride and shoot swords and guns.

Silver spear, black sword, blue bow, iron cavalry.

It was mainly composed of the former emperor's imperial guards. After several iconic equipment, this Taozhou yamen immediately showed some extraordinaryness.

As a founding marquis, Zhuguo, and the governor and governor, Zhang Chao was also a group of official positions such as the Pacification and Strategic Envoy, the Military Land Envoy, and the Hanlin Bachelor, it was not considered excessive to have 200 guards.

Shuanzi and six others looked at Zhang Chao's new guard with envy.

Look at others, they are tall and strong, and they can run horses on their arms, and they can stand on their fists.

The back of the tiger, the waist is full of muscles.

Especially their equipment, even the battle robe is specially made, with patterns embroidered on it, which is golden. Each person has a large number of styles, and ordinary guards have a Mingguang armor. If they are heads of the heads, the Mingguang armor will be of higher grade.

"My big knife is already hungry and thirsty. Why haven't these damn Hei Yeli people come yet? They're about to fade when the flowers are about to fade."

I waited in the small valley for a week, but the damn Yeli Ministry had not appeared yet. Zhang Chao was impatient. He had to be careful every day and could not even raise the fire. After eating dry food for a week, everyone would be angry.

"It's coming soon!"

Ke Qing took Tielin Yike out for a walk today, and ran to the distance to reconnaise the movements of Hei Yeli people.

"It's only a few dozen miles away from us, and I guess we'll be here today!"

"There are a lot of people coming from Hei Yeli, more than 10,000 people. I guessed that there were 3,000 elite tribe warriors, plus 6,000 entourages, and then there were 5,000 or 6,000 women, at least 15,000. This Hei Yeli tribe brought almost the entire tribe. The ones left behind were probably only 5,000 or 6,000."

After hearing this, Zhang Chao felt a little energetic.

"Ten fifteen thousand people, most of them are young and strong men and women. Since they can come to fight and rob, they will definitely be able to work. If they can keep all these people intact, Taozhou will have more than 10,000 additional slaves at once. With so many slaves, Taozhou's reclaiming and farming this year will be much smoother."

"Eunuch, if the people from Heiyeli tribe heard this, they would be angry and vomited blood. At least 15,000 people came, and they just wanted to grab a Jiangxin City."

Hei Yeli really just wanted to grab Jiangxin City. Maybe if everything goes well, they might also grab Taozhou City. z County Fang County, Dang County and there is definitely no way to go to those places. There is nothing to grab. It was just robbed last time, but Taozhou’s border trade has been very prosperous recently, and the population is full of money and grain.

In Zhang Chao's eyes, the more than 10,000 people from Hei Yeli's ministry have become the fat that he sent to his mouth in his eyes, and are his reserved slaves.

But in the eyes of Heiyeli people, why is Taozhou worth a piece of fat?

Jiangxin City is extremely wealthy, and a large number of Han people have recently immigrated in Taozhou, and tens of thousands of people. If Taozhou is robbed, how much tea and cloth will the tribe have to increase Han slaves.

Both sides have a good plan.

But obviously, Zhang Chao's abacus was more refined.

Yeli people came slowly as if they were still traveling wildly, but Zhang Chao had been preparing for a long time.

Not fighting unprepared battles is the second lesson Zhang Chao taught to his disciple Su Dingfang.

The first lesson talks about tactics and strategy, and the second lesson talks about war preparation.

Each question is very big, and it can be explained in detail for several days and nights, but the core idea is only one. Whether it is offense or defense, you must prepare for combat in advance.

We must do all kinds of preparations early and take into account all aspects.

In this way, you can be invincible.

Xu Jingzong continued to sigh on the side.

"Does these Xianbei people have their brains been damaged by the sun or blown by the wind? Even if I am a literati, I know that when using troops, I have to pay attention to suddenness. If they want to steal the city of Jiangxin, shouldn't they come quietly and launch a sudden attack?"

Zhang Chao thought, of course the Yeli people thought so, and even they did so. But they didn't expect that their every move was completely under the surveillance of the Tang people.

They felt that they were acting on their territory, and of course they were safe. How could they expect that his opponent was Zhang San.

Zhang San is a person who lacks a sense of security. He is always staring at his neighbors as the governor of the border state.

Whenever there was a turbulence, he would jump up immediately and take out a knife from under the pillow.

How could Zhang Chao not know about Yeli Ren’s abnormal actions?

It can only be said that these Tuyuhun people are just a group of incompetent robbers, and they are more just herders. When they fight, they are more like fighting.

Troubleshooting people, then rushing to the ground.

July 15th, Zhongyuan Festival, also known as Ghost Festival.

Because it is a big market and a festival, Jiangxin City is even more lively today.

Those Han merchants did not know that Heiyeli tribe and Taozhou Tang army had already made many preparations in secret and were ready to do a big fight.

Although the people from Heiyeli Ministry were very disturbed, it was because the noise was too loud that many merchants thought they were moving to the camp. They did not expect that Heiyeli was taking the entire tribe to grab Jiangxin City.

A large caravan with more than 300 people from Heiyeli Ministry drove came to Jiangxin City with camels, horses, cattle and sheep.

South Bank Bridgehead.

This is the only place for merchants to go to the island.

The merchants lined up in an orderly manner and were inspected by the Tang army guarding the bridge.

Register the name of the tribe, check the goods, and the most important point is that all weapons must not be carried to the island. They must be registered and left on the shore and kept by the Tang army.

This is the rule set by the Tang army and everyone must abide by it.

Ye Likun stared at the Tang army with some tension, but today's Tang army is as usual.

A little bribe to the Tang army guarding the bridge, and even a dagger can bring a dagger. It is only easier to eat meat in the city.

On the hills southeast of the island.

Zhang Chao was holding up a thousand-mile mirror and looking at the team entering the country for inspection.

At this time, three thousand soldiers in the valley were already moving and began to wear armor. In this small forest, they were all a little moldy and were bitten by mosquitoes every day. Finally, they were waiting for Yeli people.

If they don't come again, they will collapse.

The officers were once again mobilizing pre-war mobilization.

"Don't be ignorant of the importance of him!"

"Did you remember the nonsense you taught you?"

"Don't kill!"

"Kneel down and don't kill!"

"As long as these people give up resistance, they are not allowed to be hurt anymore. These people are very precious and much more valuable than cows and horses!"

"In this battle, the governor has an order, in addition to the collective performance, he also has personal merit rewards. He killed one elite soldier of the Yeli tribe, rewarded five hundred ci, and captured one captive alive for one thousand. He killed one entourage, rewarded two hundred ci, and rewarded four hundred ci. He killed one woman and child without reward, and captured one alive for two hundred ci."

"Did you understand?"

"Living is more valuable than dead, and those who are not injured are more valuable than those who are injured!"

"All the seized spoils must be given to the public. Those who hold them privately will be dealt with by military law. Don't complain. The governor has a order that part of the spoils seized will be taken out as a reward for everyone."

Zhang Chao stood on the mountain and looked down at the city in the heart of the river.

A good show is about to begin. Most of Hei Yeli is not far away. Zhang Chao can already think of the script of Yeli people. He first enters Jiangxin City as a caravan. He may have to wait until dark or midnight, the caravan in the city suddenly attacks and grabs the bridgehead.

Or control some sections of the riverside, and connect the Heiyeli people to cross the river and go to the island.

It’s an old trick to cooperate inside and outside. The last time Tuyuhun used this method to break through Bali Taozhou City.

However, these Tuyuhun people would never have thought that this time the mantis would stalk the cicada, and the oriole would be behind.

"The fish has already bitten the hook!" Zhang Chao smiled.

"Governor, this fish is too big. Can we eat it?" Xu Jingzong asked worriedly.
