Chapter Forty-Six: In the Spring

A little nonsense, everyone, I'm asking for votes: I got up today and opened the webpage, extremely depressed, why? "The Patriarch of the Three Dynasties" has been stepped on by me for several weeks, today, with a snap, not only burst my chrysanthemum, but even my head exploded, wondering, when I looked carefully, but because he was recommended, today I really experienced the power of recommendation, fortunately, I also signed a contract, looking forward to recommending.

In March, when the grass grows and flies, the land covered by snow for a whole winter, grows a light layer of green, and the thin velvet tenaciously burrows its weak body from the ground, happily stretching its body in the spring breeze, and breathing the sweet air with pleasure. The big tree that was burned last autumn, the withered black broken branch actually poked out a little thin tender bud again, if you look closely, this dotted green has long been all over the whole part of the tree, and the big tree that seems to have long since withered is already full of vitality.

In winter, more than a dozen small reservoirs built by damming are distributed in the mountains, and after the spring is warm, the snow melts, and the snow water flows into it along the mountain stream. The water reflects the sunlight, and the reflection of the mountains is cut into layers of mountains, and from time to time there are flocks of birds fluttering up from the mountains and forests, and flocks sweep across the water, and occasionally a bird passes low, and its paws touch the water surface, splashing a little splash.

The sound of horses' hooves, between the slender Mo in the fields, a group of people and horses slowly approached, the leader was a man with a wide robe, a smile on his face, a middle-aged scribe on his side, a square face with thick eyebrows, and behind them, a group of knights were fully armed, two or three steps behind the two, riding their horses slowly.

"Wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows! Li Qing, who was dressed in civilian clothes, raised his horsewhip and pointed to the field, "Mr. Shang, when we first came here last autumn, did you ever think that there was such a beautiful rural scenery?" "

Shang Haibo smiled: "There is time to think, I was trembling last year, just trying to survive, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, in my eyes it is just a passing smoke."

Li Qing laughed: "Mr. Shang, you are still a literati, and you are so bad at the scenery, you are not as good as me Li Qingyi."

Glancing at Li Qing, Shang Haibo said: "If there are more martial artists like the general, I will have to beg the scribes, fortunately, there are very few people like you who are more special, it is likely that in this heaven and earth, the only general has a share, fortunately."

This sycophant is unconsciously patted, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze. The two men reined in their horses' heads and watched the fields quietly, as the farmers were ploughing and the waves of mud were rising in rows on both sides, and the women followed behind them, throwing the seeds from their own baskets, and then picking up their hoes and covering the seeds with the soil.

"Plant hope this spring, reap success in autumn! Li Qingdao, "Mr. Shang, do you see, this is the seed of our Chongxian County, which has been sown."

Hearing this pun, Shang Haibo said: "Yes, a year of stinging, by the end of autumn, it will be harvested. Checkmate! "

The two stopped talking, and rode their horses quietly, listening to the slang songs of the country sung by the farmers who ploughed the fields.

"General, it seems that there is Mr. Xu County Ling and Mr. Lu in front! Yang drove the horse up a few steps and pointed to the distance in front of him, talking to the villagers in the ridges.

"Yes, it's really them, it seems that they have also come to the township to inspect, go, meet him." Li Qing clamped the horse's belly, and a group of people galloped away.

"Xu County Order, Mr. Lu, the two of you are here too! Li Qing turned over and dismounted, and saw Xu Yunfeng and Lu Yiming tucking the corner of their robes around their waists, their feet were covered with mud, Xu Yunfeng was still holding a dirt in his hand, and when he saw Li Qing and others, he hurriedly came up to salute, "General Li, Mr. Shang, you two are also here."

The two smiled and nodded, "Are you two inspecting the township?" Li Qing asked.

Xu Yunfeng said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Lu has run a few townships, and now it is the spring sowing season.

Lu Yiming on the side smiled and nodded, "The villagers are very active, there are enough seeds, plus a lot of livestock was grabbed last year and distributed to various townships, and the animal power is enough, and now the spring sowing is almost over."

Li Qing saw that Lu Yiming had changed a lot, and it was very different from the ambitious scholar who first saw him, and now he was the same as Xu Yunfeng, his hands were covered with mud, and his legs and feet were also spotted with mud, and he couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.

Li Qing didn't know that in the competition with Shang Haibo in the Changsheng camp, Lu Yiming was completely defeated, for a period of time, Lu Yiming saw that Shang Haibo was in control of the overall situation, and his talent in military affairs had completely lost his mind to compete with Shang Haibo in the army, and shifted his eyes to civil affairs. When he got along with Xu Yunfeng day and night, he unconsciously infected the other party's pragmatic style, and threw the previous kind of empty talk into Java.

"Next, Mr. Shang and I are going to the barracks, how did Mr. Xu County Linghe Lu arrange it? Li Qing asked.

Xu Yunfeng said: "Mr. Lu and I still have a few townships to run, and then we have to go to the reservoir to see the water storage situation, and the general and Mr. Shang will ask for it."

The group was divided into two places, looking at the backs of Xu Lu and the others, Li Qing sighed: "Mr. Lu has changed so much, I can't believe it."

Shang Hai knew the reason for Lu Yiming's change, and said: "Lao Lu is a very smart person, he is now cooperating with Xu Xian Ling and the two of them properly, and he wants to complement each other, and Chongxian has no worries about logistics, which will be a great help to General Li's great cause."

When I returned to the barracks, it was already early afternoon, Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui, and Feng Guo had already received the news and welcomed out of the camp.

In the barracks, there is a squad training for team cooperation, spearmen, shield soldiers, and knife soldiers, every three teams as a combination, catching teams and fighting on the school field, and the sound of killing is shocking. Changsheng battalion in the hands of Li Qing, after a series of reforms, and other battalions of the Dingzhou Army in the way of fighting has a fundamental difference, guns, shields and knives three groups for one fruit, after the expansion of the army, most of the original old pawns have been promoted to the fruit chief, three fruit group for a sentry, set up a sentry chief.

"General, after such a long time of training, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been greatly improved, although there are many new soldiers, but compared with our previous veterans, it is not far behind, as long as you can go to the battlefield once or twice, and see blood, it is a tiger and wolf army." Wang Qinian wiped his beard and said proudly.

Li Qing said with a smile: "There are still countless elite soldiers on the training ground, only after the test of the battlefield can they truly transform, oh, by the way, did the chariot I said send over?" "

Feng Guo took a step forward and said, "General, it's here, we are exploring the tactics of the chariot, I don't know what advice the general has?" "

Li Qing shook his head, "This needs to be explored by yourself, the chariot is a very practical combat unit, especially in the battle between the barbarians, the barbarians are mostly cavalry, and we are mainly infantry, the chariot can effectively reduce the impact of the cavalry on the infantry, and if it is used properly, it should be a sharp weapon on the battlefield."

As he spoke, a chariot had been pushed up, and on a two-wheeled vehicle, there were half-human-high standing shields erected on three sides, and on the standing shields on the front, the tips of spears flashed with cold light, sticking out about half a foot long. In the car, a scorpion cannon stands on the car, which can accommodate one person to stand and dozens of stone bullets, "Now the craftsman battalion has delivered dozens of vehicles, according to the plan, each wing will be equipped with 100 chariots and 200 chariot soldiers, so that we will have 1,200 soldiers on one wing."

Li Qing nodded, "In the future, there will be an expansion of the soldiers on each wing, and there will no longer be a baggage team in each wing, we will set up a baggage team in a unified manner, and in the future, each wing will be in charge of fighting, regardless of logistics."

When Wang Qinian heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, "General, you said that our wings will be expanded?" "

Li Qing smiled: "Why not? In the future, I will also equip each wing with archers, cavalry, and engineers, so that the troops on one wing are rich and diverse. After it is fully equipped, there are about 3,000 people on one wing." Wang Qinian and Feng Guo were both overjoyed, only Jiang Kui asked: "General, each wing is equipped with cavalry, what about my cavalry wing?" "

Li Qing laughed, "Don't worry, your cavalry wing will be a special class, and it will only get stronger and stronger in the future, well, in my plan, I will match you with heavy armored cavalry in the future, what is heavy armored cavalry?" I don't understand, I'll tell you, it's humanoid armor, damn, I don't understand armor, forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, anyway, I don't have money to do it now, and when I'm free, I'll make a sample for you to see."

Feng Guo rejoiced for a while, and suddenly said: "General, but the Great Chu military system has only a thousand establishments on one wing?" "

Shang Haibo laughed and said: "What's not to do, what can Xiao Dashuai do with this set of courts now?" Anyway, we don't want them to pay for it, as long as we can afford it, we will do as much as possible."
