Chapter 273: Cultivating a Private Army
Hearing Cai'er's words, the princess didn't believe that Cai'er was really willing to marry Tuyuhun, but she also knew that this was actually more beneficial to Cai'er, after all, a maidservant girl married to Tuyuhun would only end up worse, how could it be compared with the identity of the princess of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to blame, you still blame Li Shimin, for one of his plans, so many people suffered.
Next, Li Hao began to arrange this plan to steal the beam and change the pillar, it is not so easy to replace the princess, although Cai'er knows everything about the princess, but she is a slave after all, her speech and demeanor have been fixed, and the princess's transcendent identity is too different, now Li Hao must hurry up and let Cai'er follow Princess Honghua to learn the words and deeds that the princess should have, at least not let Tuyuhun see any flaws.
Five days later, after the assault training of Princess Honghua, Cai'er really changed, and the imitation of the princess has been seven or eight percent similar, presumably Tuyuhun's group of barbarians who have never seen the world can't see the clue, Li Hao began to let the princess serve Cai'er to dress up, and completely become a princess from the image.
Cai'er is thin, seven or eight centimeters shorter than the princess, the princess's clothes are big when she wears them, Li Hao sent all these clothes to the tailor who accompanied the marriage to modify, fortunately, the Tubo soldiers did not deliberately make things difficult for those poor tailors, after all, these people have skills, and Tubo lacks these skills, so Lunzhu Rinzeng specially ordered not to embarrass these people, only the palace maids and eunuchs suffered, especially the eunuchs, there is no one left who was killed, and there are only eighteen of the nearly 100 palace maids left.
After the clothes were changed, Cai'er put on the princess's clothes and walked the etiquette steps in the palace, which was a world of difference from before, Li Hao nodded with satisfaction, Cai'er, the fake princess, can already be fake, and next, it is time to send Feiying and the princess away.
In the middle of the night, Li Hao quietly walked out of the barracks with the Flying Eagle Team and the Blade Team, and went north for more than 40 miles before stopping.
"Master Hou......" parting was imminent, Feiying was suddenly very reluctant, looking at Li Hao, thinking of the scene of following Li Hao over the years, he couldn't help but choke a little.
Li Hao took out a thick envelope from his arms, handed it to Feiying, and said: "Don't think that you can be happy after you leave, you are a special soldier for one day, a special soldier for life, and you have to work for me, this is some of my plans, take it." ”
As soon as Feiying heard that he could continue to do things for Li Hao, he was immediately excited, hurriedly took the envelope, and said excitedly: "Feiying must live up to its mission." ”
"All the Flying Eagles are on their orders." Li Hao suddenly said in a deep voice, "From now on, you will follow Feiying to carry out all the tasks I arranged in the Biansai, and only Feiying will be the first to look forward." ”
"Yes!" All members of the Flying Eagles team led in unison.
Flying Eagle was stunned for a while when he heard this, Li Hao actually asked him to take away the entire Flying Eagle Special Combat Team, which was crazy.
"Jin Li, Lu Damao, Yu Zhongping!" Li Haolian called the names of these three people.
The three of them hurriedly came out: "The subordinates are here!" ”
Li Hao said slowly: "Feiying is going to the desert to carry out the plan this time, you are more familiar with it, go and help him." ”
"Yes!" After speaking, the three of them walked to the side of the flying eagle.
Lin Dingkun and Chen Haijin were anxious when they saw this, their gang was a gang, Jin Li was still their boss, now that Jin Li was gone, of course the two younger brothers wanted to go with Jin Li, Chen Haijin hurriedly said: "Master Hou, let me and Lin Dingkun go together." ”
Li Hao shook his head: "If you also go, who will lead the Blade Special Combat Team?" ”
"Then let me go." Chen Hai said, "I'll follow Boss Jinli and let Lin Dingkun stay and lead the team." ”
"Fart!" Lin Dingkun shouted when he heard this, "What's the matter if I leave Lao Tzu alone, I won't leave, and you are not allowed to leave!" ”
This is typical of the death to pull a cushion.
Li Hao smiled indifferently and said: "I just know that you have a good relationship, so I left the two of you, otherwise it will be boring to lead the team alone, and in the future, Lin Dingkun will be the captain of the blade, and Chen Haijin will be the deputy captain." ”
"Yes!"
"Alright." Li Hao sighed and turned his head to face the flying eagle, "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, it's not too early, you guys set off, be careful on the road." ”
Flying Eagle took the princess to kneel down towards Li Hao, and the rest of the people also knelt down when they saw this, and finally the entire Flying Eagle team knelt down, and Flying Eagle took them to kowtow to Li Hao: "Hou Ye, Flying Eagle can't follow Hou Ye in the future, Hou Ye must take care of yourself and beware of bad people." ”
"Got it, got it." Li Hao turned around and waved his hand impatiently, "Get out, get out, get out of here, don't leave if you don't get out, wait to be beheaded." ”
In fact, Li Hao was also very reluctant to leave the Flying Eagle, as soon as something happened before, he only needed to shout "Flying Eagle", and the Flying Eagle promised to appear immediately, never more than three seconds, and now the Flying Eagle was actually leaving, how could he be reluctant, he turned his back, he just didn't want to see the parting scene.
The eagle led the group to their feet, then mounted their horses and slowly disappeared into the night.
"Master Hou, they're leaving." Lin Dingkun reminded in a whisper.
Li Hao turned around, looked at the direction in which the flying eagles disappeared, and sighed helplessly: "Let's go, it's okay, Biansai is a turbulent place, and the imperial power is difficult to reach, and my private army plan is more reliable to implement there." ”
Li Hao's letter to Feiying recorded his private army plan, yes, he wanted to follow the instructions of Zhiyuan Zhenren, accumulate strength, build up his own army, he asked Feiying to go to the Longyou desert area, first based on the generation of Lop Nur, recruit people and horses, and build a bandit group, this bandit group is actually a bit similar to the horse thief group, after all, it is not an armed group of the imperial court, since it is not an armed team of the imperial court, then it is classified as bandits.
But bandits are also good and bad, Li Hao asked them to set up this bandit, is specifically to deal with those desert bandits and horse thieves, in the process of annexing those bandits and horse thieves, continue to grow themselves, enrich the strength of the bandits, and when it grows strong enough, it can help the towns in the border to deal with those alien races that attack the frontier.
Of course, there are many problems in the establishment of the Gangsters, first of all, money and food, the so-called no profit can not afford to be early, as soldiers eat official food, get military salaries, then they must also solve the problem of money and food in order to recruit manpower.
This is not difficult for Li Hao, Li Hao plans to send a caravan to trade in the Western Regions after returning to Chang'an, ostensibly to trade, but in fact, to connect with the Flying Eagle and send supplies.
As long as the flying eagles have enough weapons, the Swinging Gang will start and annex those horse thieves on the desert, are you afraid that there will be no money and no food, those horse thieves are rich, besides, under the ancient city of Loulan, there is a Loulan treasure, which is not a little money, of course, that treasure is too big, and it is not needed for the time being.
When the strength of the Dangkou regiment grew to more than 8,000 people, Li Hao instructed them to move their base to Xizhou and Tingzhou, where the Anxi Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate had been established, and Qin Wei was serving as the Tingzhou Assassin in Tingzhou, Wang Yuantai was transferred to Xizhou to serve as the commander of Zhichong, Qin Wei and Jin Li had a relationship with them, closer than their own brothers, Wang Yuantai had been trained in the Flying Eagle Team, and the relationship with the Flying Eagle was not ordinary.
Although the Dangkou Regiment is not organized, as long as they have been chivalrous, they will not be targeted by the imperial court, coupled with the help of Qin Wei and Wang Yuantai, the Dangkou Regiment will definitely be able to mix well over there, and the most important thing is that they do not have the military constraints of the imperial court, they can continue to grow, as long as they develop carefully, even if there are 50,000 people, only 5,000 troops are dispatched each time, and they do not expose their strong forces to the imperial court, presumably the imperial court will not care.
As for the base camp after that, it was selected in the Devil's City, the Devil's City is deserted all the year round, and it is not easy to be found, although a group of horse thieves were stationed there before, it doesn't matter, with the strength of the Flying Eagle, there are only a few hundred horse thieves.
This private army plan, Li Hao thought about it for three days to complete, it can be said that it is seamless, in such a prosperous era, it is really not easy to quietly cultivate an army of his own.
Sending away the flying eagles, Li Hao returned to the barracks with the blade team, and the next day, everyone found that Li Hao's personal guard team was obviously less than half of them, but no one cared, because Li Hao often let his personal guard team go on missions, they were used to it, and it was not a big deal.
Next, Li Hao asked Cai'er to occasionally walk around the camp, of course, when he came out, he had to cover his face with a light veil, how could the princess's holy face be spied on by ordinary people, he did this to let Cai'er's princess image penetrate into everyone's hearts, let them know that this is the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
After waiting here for nearly a month, the imperial court finally sent someone to come, and it was the general of the right leading army who lost his thinking and brought 5,000 cavalry.
Zhi Zhi Sili and Li Hao are also acquaintances, the two sides met for a greeting, Li Hao invited Zhi Sili into the tooth tent, served new tea, Zhi Zhi Sili said happily: "Poetry madness, you really have you, on the grassland, you can defeat the 30,000 army of Tubo with 8,000 soldiers and horses, and the enemy commander is still Lunzhu Rinzeng, he is really a hero out of a young man." ”
"Where, where, the selfish general has won the award, the award." Although Li Hao was modest, his smile was not modest at all.
"You might as well call me General Executive." Stubbornly glanced at Li Hao resentfully, sometimes he really thought that Li Hao deliberately called his name wrong, although his name was a little awkward, but it was so difficult to pronounce.
Zhi Sili smacked his mouth, and said: "You smashed Tubo's plan to rob relatives this time, and won a big victory, and the most important thing is that you also captured Tubo right Rushuai Lunzhu Renzeng, Your Majesty's dragon heart is happy, and you have promised in the palace that when you return to Chang'an, you will be rewarded." ”
"Alas--" Li Hao suddenly sighed loudly, "It's good if you don't cure me, and I will be rewarded, I don't dare to think about it." ”
Hearing this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he asked puzzledly: "Poet, did you make a mistake?" ”
Li Hao blinked quickly and asked, "Does the slaughter of prisoners count?" ”
Stubborn Sili was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his face became solemn, and he asked in a low voice, "How many did you kill?" ”
"Ten thousand."
"Hiss......" lost his thinking and gasped.
