Chapter 199 Black-faced General

With a safe place to settle down, everyone came to breathe a sigh of relief after being shocked.

After receiving the report from the army, the county magistrate Su Su of Feihu County, Gao Chu, Zhao Wansan and others immediately left the city to welcome Li Chongjiu's 10,000 cavalry. They also mobilized the civilians and servants in the city early, cooked hot water and hot rice, cleaned up the military camp and cleaned up a large area to rest for Li Chongjiu and the others. Only then did they feel a little saddle and the people were given food.

Sleeping in the county government for one night, Li Chongjiu was full of energy the next day, so he brought Etuo, Ying Hefu, Wang Mahan, and Sun Erniang, accompanied by Su Su, to inspect Gao Chu's fifth regiments of county soldiers who had been trained for four or five months.

These county soldiers have only been trained for four or five months, and have been very well trained. At present, they only lack the killing spirit of going to the battlefield. However, Ying Hefu and the others were very envious. The reason is that among the five of them, two of them were wearing armor and a lot of iron armor, and all the iron armors of their 9,000 grassland cavalry combined with no more than five.

They didn't know that of course, this depends on the blacksmith's workshop in Feihu County. Li Zuojiang's blacksmith's workshop now produces fifteen armors every month, so the county soldiers are equipped with a lot of iron armor. As for the county's arsenal, there are still many leather armor left, so nearly half of the soldiers in the county are all wearing armor.

"The lives of the Han people are so precious!" Ying Heffer suddenly became very unbalanced.

Li Chongjiu heard Ying Hefu complaining. He knew what his subtext was. He knew what his forehead was, and his forehead even made him look thicker and said to Li Chongjiu: "Khan, when will we put armor on our children?"

I really don’t worry about poverty but unevenness. Nine thousand cavalry is just nine thousand armor. It’s really good to speak. Before Li Chongjiu could speak, Su Su smiled and said, “Is it not difficult to have armor? I just asked the two generals if they have the ability to take it?”

"Where?" Etuo and Yinghefu asked together.

Su Su pointed to the east and said, "Of course I have to ask Song Jingang for it. When Yi County was captured, I heard that the thief army had looted two thousand armors from the arsenal. As for other counties, it is not necessary to say more. Who said that Shanggu is a border county? There is sufficient military equipment in the arsenal. I heard that Song Jingang's four thousand elite soldiers are already covered with iron armor."

Hearing that there were four thousand armors and foreheads, Ying Heffer's eyes suddenly shone. Nearly half of the 4,000 cavalry were equipped with 9,000 cavalry, and they were all iron armor.

"Khan, how about this Song King Kong's saint than Gao Tan?" After not having a chance with thousands of iron armor in Huairong County, Etuo immediately found out the details of Song Kingang.

Li Chongjiu's eyes turned, and he didn't know how Song Jingang could be a time traveler. Under this attack, Li Yuan almost ordered to abandon Hedong and guard Guanxi. Li Yuan was afraid that even his hometown in Taiyuan and Hedong would rather not, just want to keep Guanzhong.

However, Li Chongjiu could not speak directly. Su Su had already had a high evaluation of Song Jingang and said, "Two commanders, I heard that Song Jingang is good at governing the army. He had fought many Sui troops in Zhuo County before, and even Xue Shixiong did not get any advantage from him." Hearing this, without Li Chongjiu's words, Ying Hefu was silent. Li Chongjiu smiled and praised the county soldiers' training equipment, so he returned to the county government with Su Su, Zhao Wansan, and Gao Chu.

When he returned to the county government office, Li Chongjiu immediately asked about Song Jingang's military strength and distribution.

It turned out that after Wang Xuba was defeated in Feihu County last year, he led his army south to Hengshan County to eat, and handed over the entire county of Shanggu County to the rich commander Song Jingang. Song Jingang has been teaching soldiers to prepare for war in a year while farming, and has repeatedly defeated the surrounding officers and soldiers. He has commanded 20,000 troops, of which 4,000 are elite troops. He has taken over hundreds of adopted sons and named Erlang Army. Now Song Jingang leads a large army to be stationed in Yi County and Fanyang. Song Jingang is personally stationed in Yi County as the base camp, while Fan Yang has 3,000 troops stationed by the generals to guard it.

When Li Chongjiu heard Fan Yang's name, he felt amazement. Yi County was the capital of Shanggu County. Wuyang City, the lower capital of Yan State, was built here during the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, to resist the heroes to the south. Fan Yang was called the land of Du Kang in ancient times. The map he presented when Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin was the land of Du Kang. Jing Ke called Qin the King of Qin this a fertile land of Yan State, so he showed the map for the King of Qin to see. Fan Yang was later also the place where An Lushan, who ruined the prosperous Tang Dynasty, started his career.

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu asked: "Why did Liu Wuzhou divide his troops into two places?"

Su Suyan said: "Yi County is the capital of Shanggu County, with a population. Liu Wuzhou must take charge of himself, while Fan Yang is the place of money and grain in Shanggu County, so of course he must also be guarded."

So that's it, Li Chongjiu suddenly realized.

In Shanggu Yi County, there is the Rushui River that originated in Yuyi Town in the north, and in the south, there is the Yi River flowing. The wind and sound of Yi River are still rustling, and it is still seen that Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang cross the river westward. Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang, the ancients said that brave and heroic people were all recommended Youyan men. Now in the military camp near Yi County, Song Jingang's army is stationed here, and it is obvious that they are about to prepare for dinner.

Those who have entered the military camp know that the soldiers' meals have always been greedy, just like a group of wolves snatching food. Song Jingang's military camp is no exception. On the big wooden table, there are pancakes as high as a hill, and in the other big bowl is a vegetable leaf soup filled with stars with oil flowers. At this time, the soldiers did not care about the vegetable leaf soup and just grabbed the pancakes.

At the wooden table, a black-faced man sat upright. The man was tall and looked like an iron tower. Even if he sat there, almost everyone stood tall. Even among the Yanzhao Hans, he was considered a burly man. Everyone was in a hurry to grab the cake and chew it with both hands.

But he slowly filled a bowl of vegetable soup, took a pancake in his hand, and started eating it with one bite of pancake. The pancake was as big as a big bowl, and even the military man could eat more than a dozen bites before he could eat it. However, this big man seemed to have a big mouthful of blood. When he got a bite of pancake, he stirred his teeth up and down like a knife. One was solved in three or five mouthfuls. Then he drank a sip of the soup and took another pancake.

The cakes like hills on the wooden table quickly lowered, and everyone was fighting for each other, but the man was still very happy. He had a cake with three or five bites. When everyone could eat only four, he had already eaten eight cakes.

"Damn it! Are hungry ghosts reincarnated? Black charcoal face!"

Just as the man grabbed the ninth pancake with his hand, a half-eating pancake was thrown directly on his face. A military man sitting diagonally opposite him stood up and pointed at the other party and said angrily: "Heicharcoal face, since you entered the Third Battalion of A, my brother has been unable to eat enough every day. Are you like this?"

"Beat him! Beat him!" The people around shouted together.

After hearing his words, the other party shrank his hand, looked at the pancake in his hand nostalgia, put the pancake back, and sighed a long time.

"Look at this chaotic world, how many people are not full, which county or family in Shanggu did not have enough food to starve to death. You eat so much food alone, but you haven't robbed too much food, how many people have starved to death, how many people have harmed, do you have a wife and children, and do you have parents? I see that you are a disaster, and I have to teach you a lesson today."

After saying that, the people on the wooden table shook the food in their hands, and they danced their fists and called them up. The man squatted on the ground and protected his head with his hands. He saw seven or eight people surrounding him and punched him. The man like an iron tower didn't say a word, holding his head with both hands but was beaten silently. When the soldiers beat him, they neither resisted nor begged for mercy, nor had they become interested. The people around him laughed, saying that there was no ghast, and they were so big, but they didn't dare to backhand.

Everyone dispersed, and there were only some food residues left on the ground. The black-faced man picked up pieces of broken cakes scattered on the ground and stuffed them into his mouth. The big man was picking up the footsteps on the side. A man stood beside him, picked up a quarter of the big cakes and handed them to his hands.

The black-faced man took the pancake and said, "Don't get close to me, be careful that he will be beaten up."

He heard the other party laughing and squatted with the black-faced man, saying, "They dare not hit me."

The black-faced man heard the sound of something strange. After turning his head to see the other party clearly, he fell to the ground and said, "So it's the Grand Marshal!"

Song Jingang, dressed in a civilized clothes, smiled and said, "Aren't you doing well just now? Stand up and talk."

The two of them stood up at the same time. When Song Jingang saw the other party was burly, he immediately showed a look of admiration. He saw that his linen was covered with dust and footprints on his rotten linen. He asked: "I see, after you were beaten like this, you were as if nothing had happened. Your body was far stronger than others. Why not resist?"

The black-faced man said, "My master said I have a bad temper and was afraid that I would take my own courage from going down the mountain. He warned me not to fight with others because of personal grudges."

After hearing this, Song Jingang nodded and said, "If you have faith in your words, you will not bully the weak. You are truly a righteous man. Your master must be a master?

The black-faced man showed a hint of remembrance and said immediately: "My master is a lord who travels around the world. I don't know where I am now missing you very much."

After hearing this, Song Jingang admired this person even more, immediately gave him a call and asked, "Where are you from? What's your name?"

The black-faced man said, "The youngest one is from Shanyang, and his surname is Yuchi and his name is Gong,"

Shanyang Yuchi Gong, Song Jingang read it silently, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Come here, change the Yuchi brothers into new clothes and take them to the brigade of the third battalion!"

"Thank you, Marshal!" Yuchi Gong hugged his hands and immediately gave a gift.

Song Jingang nodded with relief.

At this time, in Feihu County, Li Chongjiu summoned generals such as Su Su, Zhao Wansan, Gao Chu, Wang Mahan, Sun Erniang, Ertuo, Ying Hefu, and Yan Yelie to discuss the conquest of Song Jingang.
