Chapter 365: Meeting (Part 2)

Looking at He Lanyan's different outfit, Gongsun Yi, He Quan and others were confused, but felt that she was extremely weird. She knew a little about the tiger's head and horizontal knife, but they didn't know the details. Only Sun Xiao and the infantry twitched slightly in their hearts. After a while, the two looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Everyone knows that on November 8th, General Gao married Ye Jing'er, the daughter of Langya Ye County Governor. Langya County has donated 10,000 craftsmen and 1,000 elite soldiers as a dowry to the general in order to support General Gao's plan. , these craftsmen, together with their families, have set out on the road to support me in October, and their final foothold will be here, the future Jishi City."

The first time they heard this news, all the people in the meeting cheered. This meant that Gao Yuan's strength had increased sharply. Although they lived in a remote corner, they still knew Langya's wealth.

"Not only these, but also one million taels of cash as a dowry!" Sun Xiao paused for a moment before saying the amount. Perhaps the people present could not understand what 10,000 craftsmen can bring , but one million taels of silver was enough to make them dumbfounded.

Sure enough, the previous cheers stopped abruptly and were replaced by shock.

However, the shock that Sun Xiao gave them was not limited to these, "Not only that, but the general also has some unexpected gains during this trip to Langya. Do you want to know what these gains are?"

Everyone stared at Sun Xiao, but no one spoke. After a while, Guo Quan asked in a trembling voice, "What else?" Silver has never been owned.

Sun Xiao nodded in satisfaction, there is still someone who agrees, otherwise he would have to ask and answer for himself.

"General Gao also earned a million taels of silver from other places, and tens of thousands of armors. Most importantly, there are more than a thousand pairs of full-body armor." Sun Xiao smiled complacently.

Everyone has been so frightened that they have completely lost their ability to speak. A few days ago, the senior officials of Zhengdong Mansion were still worrying about money and food. Every time I see Cao Tiancheng, I can see that his hair is a little more gray and his beard is a little less, but in a blink of an eye. Everything is resolved.

Excellent soldiers, enough food, and a lot of money, it couldn't be more appropriate to describe the current Zhengdong Mansion.

"However, no matter how much money there is, there are still times when we are sitting on the mountain. Everyone knows that when we build Jishi City, it is a bottomless pit that swallows money. The money earned by the general will at most allow us to repair the city and bring the present and the future here. Those who come to settle down can live in peace, so we should not be envious when we look at this little money. We feel that everything will be fine. It should be noted that money comes easily, but when we spend money here, it is like running water. That's how we spend it."

Hutou and Hengdao were originally horse bandits.

His mind was also active, and after listening to Sun Xiao's words, Hutou couldn't help laughing and said: "General Sun. Listening to your tone, are you going to take us out to earn a fortune?"

Sun Xiao clasped his hands together, and made a crisp sound, "Tiger's words won my heart. Everyone here, except Guo Laosi and Guo Quan, are all leaders in the war. Ask yourself, how long have we been here? In the past few months, the number of troops has doubled, but what have we gained? What contribution have we made to the general?"

Before everyone could answer, he shook his head, "We don't. Our biggest job every day is training. Everyone should know that we are paid twice as much as the standing army of Yan State. We eat the best food." For meals, we wear warm clothes, and there is a warm brazier to keep warm in the cold night. You may think that this is just a part of life, but you know, it is all money, and every tael of silver is hard earned by adults Yes. We spend it as we should, do we spend it with peace of mind?"

Everyone was silent.

Sun Xiao stood up and pointed to the outside of the house, "Those piles of earth and rocks were dug out by Guo Laosi and others, and the materials that have been transported in a steady stream are from all over the world. They are already two meters long. The high city wall was built by tens of thousands of people, what about us, shouldn't we go out and do something?"

The enthusiasm of the crowd was aroused by Sun Xiao little by little, yes, what should be done, let General Gao know that these people are not free, they are better than the group of civilians led by Guo Laosi Much, much more important.

Gongsun Yi was the first to stand up, which surprised Sun Xiao. Originally, he arranged for the infantry to be the first to jump out and give an impassioned speech.

"We should really do something for General Gao!" Gongsun Yi said loudly, waving his fists. In the past few months, he had seen Guo Laosi, a former slave of Gongsun's tribe, gain Sun Xiao's respect step by step. Gradually growing from a thousand people to tens of thousands, seeing this old slave build Jishi City in an orderly manner to a height of nearly two meters, now Guo Quan is probably stronger than himself in the hearts of the direct descendants of Zhengdong Mansion. Gao, building the city is the top priority. Gongsun Yi had already understood this shortly after he joined the Fufeng Army. Thinking that this old slave might ride on his head in the future, he felt uncomfortable all over his body. What's more, he now has some other ideas.

Sun Xiao and the infantry had hinted to him more than once that the current chief of the Gongsun tribe, Ah Man, did not perform well at the Niulanshan camp of the Fufeng Army headquarters. He still led only the three hundred soldiers of the Gongsun tribe. I heard that Ah Man was somewhat resistant. Reorganization, because Gao Yuan didn't come back, and Meng Chong, who is now in charge, didn't insist.

For Gongsun Yi, the meaning of these words is a bit far-reaching. Although he has challenged the authority of the infantry here, he was convinced at the first time, and in the following time, he easily Then he won their trust, and now he is commanding 500 cavalry. Among the 500 cavalry, there are Gongsun tribes, other tribes, and Fufeng people, but Sun Sunyi knows very well that the combat power of these 500 people , Compared with the original combat effectiveness of the entire Gongsun tribe.

Or, he could replace Ah Man as the head of the entire Gongsun Department. Although there is only one empty name left in the Gongsun Department, as long as there is this empty name, it will be of great help to his future future.

Qianjin City Horse Bone, he heard this word from Hengdao. Looking at the meaning of Gao Yuan, it is to gain the trust of the Huns and let more Huns form his cavalry team. People like himself, It is possible to become an example set by Gao Yuan, in order to gain the trust of other Hun tribes. Just like the Helan tribe, He Lanxiong and He Lanyan themselves are incomparable. Before Gao Yuan made his fortune, they had already mixed with them. In the eyes of the old Fufeng Army, the two brothers and sisters of Helan were no different from their own. Then, Why don't you become this horse bone? Moreover, I am not an ordinary bad horse, I am a thousand-mile horse.

Gongsun Yi's performance has been better than anyone else's during this period of time, he is more active and hardworking than anyone else. The five hundred cavalry troops under his command have already surpassed the tiger-headed and horizontal horsemen in terms of combat effectiveness. Two people with a knife.

"What can we do?" Sun Xiao looked at him with interest.

"We are an army, and our greatest ability is to wield a scimitar, so we are naturally going to attack the city for the general." Gongsun Yi said loudly.

"Siege the city?" Sun Xiao smiled, "General Gongsun, in your opinion, who can we fight, who can we fight?"

Gongsun Yi strode up to the crowd and bowed to Sun Xiao, "General Sun, in fact, our choice is very obvious. The other Xiongnu tribes on the grassland are not worth fighting, because now they are too poor to eat, and Shannan Although the county is only a few hundred miles away from us, it takes two or three days for the cavalry to go out, but the Qin people are fierce tigers, we can't afford to provoke them, so we have one direction, and that is Hejian County!"

"But Hejian County is Dayan's territory, and we are also Dayan's army!" Sun Xiao laughed.

"Hejian is the land of Dayan, but it is also Yan Shenghao's private territory. Didn't the general annihilate Yan Shenghao's three thousand elites on the grassland last time?" Gongsun Yi laughed, "It can be seen that the general did not take this point at all. Take it to heart, besides, if we attack, we don't need to fly the banner of Zhengdong Mansion, the grassland is so chaotic now, horse bandits are everywhere!"

As soon as these words came out, both Hengdao and Hutou laughed loudly, "A clever plan, the horse bandits make trouble, it has nothing to do with our conquest of the East Mansion."

"It can be seen that you have put a lot of thought into it!" Sun Xiao nodded to Gongsunyi with satisfaction, "Although the general is not in Fufeng at this time, the general knows your performance, and the general is very satisfied with you."

As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Yi suddenly became excited. It turned out that his reputation had already reached the ears of the legendary General Gao Yuan, so his hard work during this period was really not in vain.

Sun Xiao signaled Gongsun Yi to go back and sit down, and looked at the crowd, "Gongsun Yi is right, our thousands of soldiers have been practicing for several months, and it's time for us to move. Only an army that has fought and survived on the battlefield is a strong army. We wiped out 3,000 people in Hejian County some time ago, and its strength has been greatly reduced. In a hurry, they wanted to It will be difficult to fill that gap, and this is our opportunity."

"This time, we will send out a battalion of cavalry and two battalions of infantry. The cavalry have fought and killed people, but the infantry is not as good, so let them go out to practice." Sun Xiaoxiao He said: "Since this proposal was made by Gongsun Yi, let the cavalry of Gongsun Yi's battalion go! Do you have any opinions?"

"I have no opinion, but with all due respect, General Gongsun Yi's subordinates are indeed very brave, but they haven't really fought a big battle. I'm a little worried!" Heng Dao smiled slightly.

"It's okay, infantry, how about you go hard and go with General Gongsun Yi?" Sun Xiao said.

The infantryman nodded.

"The infantry general is the commander of this operation! Lead a battalion of cavalry from General Gongsun, and then take the infantry from the two battalions of Tang Ming and Wang Yi. General Hutou, don't be idle, this battle, your battalion Although the cavalry of the army will not participate, you have to go and help."

"Is it my old trick again?" Hutou laughed.

Sun Xiao smiled and said nothing, "Hengdao and Helan coach and I are guarding Jishi City. Old Guo, the army is going to fight, you have to work harder!"
