Chapter 205: I have a knife in my hands

If a person gets unlucky, he will get stuck in his teeth when drinking cold water. At this time, Liu Jintang had a deep understanding of this principle. Originally, he hoped to become famous in these Western Expeditions. However, at Paomaling, Chen Ying pressed him to the ground for a while.

I don’t know who advised Dou Jiande and even left his less than 20,000 troops to attack Paomaling. After hearing this news, Liu Jintang felt like he fell into an ice cellar. This was like a mouse being a escort for Mao. Dou Jiande’s tens of thousands of troops could not even chew Paomaling, which made him less than 20,000 troops to create absolute pressure on Chen Ying. It was simply the biggest joke in the world.

As soon as Dou Jiande left, Liu Jintang brought the troops back to Xingyang City. His purpose was very simple. If you can't afford to fight or provoke, we can always afford to hide.

Retracting back to Xingyang City, Liu Jintang, with the attitude of drinking and drunkenness, the people of Xingyang who had been abused in the city were even more affected. Last time, the Zheng family of Xingyang swept Dou Jiande's face. Dou Jiande acquiesced the Xia army soldiers to rob the Zheng family of Xingyang. The target was very targeted, only targeting the Zheng family of Xingyang. Other major clans or powerful people, but they did not commit any crime.

Now, Liu Jintang, who was throwing out the can, can't even care about these things. As long as Chen Ying's army comes to attack, he can't resist for a few days, so one day is considered one day.

As soon as the sky was dark, Liu Jintang's personal soldiers began to arrange food. The personal soldiers carried the dead sheep that they had stolen from somewhere. They first peeled and then scattered the belly, removed the internal organs, cut the mutton into large pieces and threw it into the pot to cook. The radish peeled off and cut it into pieces. When the mutton was cooked, the broth rolled and poured in in a bucket. Everyone was not worried about wasting it.

Liu Jintang had just brought the rice bowl and the wine was filled, and when he saw his personal soldiers running into the hall with sweat on their heads: "General, it's not good..."

Liu Jintang didn't even think about it and said lightly: "Have Chen Ying's army arrived?"

The recruit shook his head.

Liu Jintang said: "It's good if there isn't, it's good if there isn't. Keep eating and drink!"

The personal soldier sighed and swallowed the last words into his stomach.

Originally, if Liu Jintang had put his troops under Paomaling like Cao Zhan, Zheng Jian would have no way to send supplies and personnel to Paomaling, but Liu Jintang was afraid that Chen Ying would catch him and beat him up completely.

In these days, if there are soldiers and generals, they are the king of grass heads, and soldiers and generals are the foundation of Liu Jintang's life. Once they lose nearly 20,000 troops under their command, Liu Jintang will have no status in Xia Kingdom. It is amazing that for Liu Heita's face, he will give him a small official.

However, Liu Jintang was afraid and withdrew his troops back to Xingyang City, and Paomaling was unobstructed.

Zheng's young and strong man drove a big cart, pulling food, money or supplies on the cart, and the vehicles were moving towards Paomaling.

Guo Luo looked at the convoy that was invisible at first sight, and took two steps at three steps to the Paomaling Central Army in the tent. At this time, Chen Ying was very leisurely in the camp of Paomaling. He dug a pit in the open space outside the tent to serve as a stove, put a few stones on it, and inserted a few carp with a small wooden stick, and was barbecuing.

I don’t know what the rumor was, but Chen Ying vaguely remembered that later generations said that because Li and Li were homophones, the Tang Dynasty prohibited the people and gentry from eating carp. This was purely nonsense. To follow this statement, wouldn’t the Zhou emperor prohibit the people from drinking porridge? Comrade Zhu prohibited the people from eating pork? Did Yang Jian also prohibit the people from eating mutton?

Chen Ying specifically asked Li Xiuning, but Li Xiuning didn't know about it at all.

Chen Ying took Li Xiuning with a spear to catch fish in the stream at the foot of the mountain. However, Chen Ying's skill was very bad. He didn't get a fish after a long time. Zhang Shigui couldn't stand it anymore, so he shot ten arrows and shot seven fish.

Chen Ying took the carp he shot and returned to the camp to burn fish with Li Xiuning.

The only drawback is that there is no chili powder and cumin, which tastes unsatisfactory, but Li Xiuning was very happy to eat it.

Chen Ying looked at the grilled fish and murmured: "Chi pepper, when will I eat chili peppers!"

Li Xiuning asked curiously: "What chili pepper?"

Chen Ying said: "Chi pepper is a condiment..."

In the Americas, Chen Ying thought that his brain suddenly became active. In a later generation, he watched "Exploration and Discovery" and Chen Ying remembered that there was an ocean current in the Pacific Ocean, which could float from the Pacific Ocean to the Americas in a month. The remnants of the Shang Dynasty used this ocean current to float to the Americas.

There are so many things in America that Chen Ying dreams about, chili, sweet potato, peanuts, tomatoes, potatoes, and of course delicious crayfish...

However, I don’t know the origin of a good dream. Just when Chen Ying was trapped in his beautiful fantasy, Guo Luo was shaking Chen Ying vigorously: “General, General, wake up quickly…”

"Stop shaking, I'm almost broken up by you!" Chen Ying said angrily: "What's wrong?"

"Money, food, and many soldiers!"

...

Chen Ying received the first purchase of supplies from Zheng, more than 20,000 kilograms of 100 steelmaking and about 500 pairs of fine steel armor, and more than 10,000 young and strong men. Although these young and strong men under the banner of "tenants", in fact, Chen Ying discovered at a glance that these young and strong men were well-trained soldiers, wearing armor, which could be pulled out to the battlefield. These people were somewhat murderous intent.

"How about General Chen and other young men?" Zheng Jian introduced to Chen Ying very proudly.

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Not bad, very good!"

These young and strong people have very good physical fitness, all over 18 years old and under 35 years old. A few of them are about forty years old. Most of them have better physical fitness than the left and right guards of the left and right guards of the left and right guards. In fact, although the Zheng family in Xingyang passed down their families through poetry and books, they had money and some had food. As early as the beginning of Li Yuan's rebellion, they also began to establish their own private soldiers. The components of these private soldiers were very complicated, including the rebel soldiers who fled during the Yang Xuangan Rebellion, the Sui Dynasty fled during Yang Guangdong's expedition to Goguryeo, and the Wagang army that Zheng took in when Li Mi was defeated in Wagang.

Zheng Jian said proudly: "We Zheng treat tenants well. Although there have been constant natural disasters and man-made disasters in recent years and food is not collected, our Zheng family has always deducted the food of tenants. Since childhood, we have been practicing swords and bows hard. They are a rare spirit... Recently, the bandits have suffered serious disasters. They often fight with bandits and bandits with swords. They are not only majestic, but also fierce."

Of course, Zheng Jian didn't say anything, as long as he was a little weak, he would be killed by the soldiers!

Zheng Jian continued to show off: "The most rare thing is that they have a very unique personality and order them to move forward. Even if there is only one person left, they will rush forward; if they stop the rear, they will not surrender even if they hit the last person!"

When Chen Ying heard this, his face showed an unnatural expression. He also felt storm in his heart. He would rush forward whenever he fought until the last person. He was not an ordinary tenant or an ordinary private soldier, but a real dead soldier. Chen Ying felt that it was already very exaggerated to have the Hou Mo Chen secretly raised three thousand tigers, but compared with Zheng in Xingyang, Hou Mo Chen, who started his military achievements with his military achievements, was simply a pediatrician.

What does tens of thousands of dead soldiers mean? It costs about tens of thousands of dead soldiers a year to support an ordinary soldier, or at least ten times more than ten times that of ordinary soldiers. After all, dead soldiers are not from cracks of stones. If you want the dead soldiers to work hard, you must give them enough family expenses so that the wives and children of these dead soldiers will not have to worry about food or clothing. In other words, the money and food consumed by these tens of ten thousand dead soldiers will be as much as one million yuan each year.

In fact, Chen Ying was wrong. Most of the dead men of Zheng were adopted orphans or children from Zheng's family. Not only were they very loyal to the Zheng family, but they were also at a lower cost. They bought out almost at one time and did not spend much money. The expenses of the tens of thousands of dead men in Zheng's annual expenses were less than 200,000 to 300,000 guan.

In fact, the Zheng family in Xingyang is smarter than anyone else's abacus. Chen Ying is a famous general in the world. He is known for his bravery and military training. As long as the soldiers led by Chen Ying will die in one battle, everyone will be elite. Therefore, the Zheng family clearly knew that Dou Jiande's army had retreated, leaving only Liu Jintang, a unit of less than 20,000 troops to defend Xingyang.

The materials and wealth that I want to give to Chen Ying are not just a few times. This is less than 300,000 yuan of supplies, and 20,000 young and strong. Thinking about it, Zheng felt sore. But Zheng still gritted his teeth and fulfilled the contract. Of course, it was not afraid of Chen Ying's revenge, but wanted to use Chen Ying's hands to train Chen Ying a elite soldier. Only with one elite soldier who blocked ten, would the tragedy of Dou Jiande's army looting Zheng's army not repeat.

Chen Ying was not polite when he got the supplies and manpower. Although he knew that Zheng had used Chen Ying's ingredients, Chen Ying didn't care at all. Dead soldiers, Dead soldiers were considered a master. Under Chen Ying's ideological education and spiritual bombardment, only God knows how much loyalty they could retain to Zheng's family.

Of course, what surprised Chen Ying the most was that he could actually pick out more than 1,300 powerful men with eight feet tall Kong Wu. Although he had no armor and Mo Dao on hand for the time being, there were only a very small number of them, which was not enough to meet Chen Ying's needs. Chen Ying was not polite. He waved his hand and drew out the more than 1,300 powerful men with eight feet tall to form four reserve corpses of the Mo Dao Army.

There were many people who could ride horses in the Central Plains, especially during the Sui Dynasty, where the people were very generous, almost the same as those in later generations. As long as they were from ordinary families, every household had horses, so there were also many people who could ride horses. These people were treasures, and Chen Ying was unceremonious to use more than 2,400 people as cavalry reserve troops.

All the other dead soldiers acted as jumping soldiers and shooting soldiers. In this way, Chen Ying's troops expanded more than 10,000 people in a short period of time.

With the subsequent eight thousand war horses and slalom horses in place, Chen Ying's hook and sickle cavalry grew legs again.

As the saying goes, I have it in the world.

Chen Ying had the materials and personnel supported by Zheng's family and immediately started preparing for the war, preparing to recover Xingyang and end this chaotic world. As long as Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong are eliminated and the world is peaceful, Chen Ying can live the peaceful days he thought, and most importantly, he can hold the beauty back.
