Chapter 111 If There Is a Chance, We Must Kill Wei Yuan!
"Give me back my rivers and mountains and dominate the world!"
"."
Tens of thousands of soldiers spoke together, and the sound was like thousands of thunders exploding in mid-air.
At this moment, the expressions of the envoys of the two countries were like a black cloud over their heads, and they were extremely ugly.
Give me back my mountains and rivers? Unify the world?
Doesn’t it refer to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the vast Western Region?
With Da Zhou, do you still want to restore the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty?
In fact, Wei Yuan did not come up with the eight-character slogan.
Instead, he praised the Japanese soldiers for shouting those eight words during daily drills.
Don’t you want to see the grace of the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army?
Just let you see enough!
Wei Yuan looked at the envoys of the two countries and laughed and said: "Everyone, this is how I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, supports the Japanese army. Can I still satisfy you?"
Hearing this, Ye Luxin said seriously: "He is indeed one of the four armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Everyone wears black hammer armor and mountain armor. Ordinary arrows cannot hurt them."
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty emphasized culture and suppressed martial arts, it invested a lot of energy in armor and weapons.
It was the high-quality armor that enabled the Zhou soldiers to compete with Liao and Xia, who had large cavalry teams, in foreign battles.
However, each country also has its own special skills.
For example, Xixia's iron kite, Liao's heavy cavalry, and Zhou's armor are all unparalleled.
A few years ago, spies from the Liao Kingdom spied on the specific manufacturing method of Shanwenjia.
Therefore, the Imperial City Division paid the price of hundreds of people to successfully prevent enemy spies from bringing the armor forging methods back to the Liao Kingdom.
It can be seen that the forging method of this armor is a core secret in Dazhou.
Li Liangzuo, like Ye Luxinxian, didn't care about Wei Yuan's previous statement. He said:
"General Wei, I wonder if you can give me a pair of mountain armor later? I can buy it with money."
Judging from Xixia's strength, it would not be a problem to get a pair of armor, even top-quality armor like Shan Wenjia.
However, even if they get it, it will be difficult for them to crack its craft.
Countries have been at war for several years, and the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty have suffered countless casualties. Even if they pick off the dead, they can still pick off some fine armor made by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But why has it never been successfully replicated? It was because of the complexity and process of its production that Xia and Liao had never mastered it.
"I remember that the price of a pair of Shanwenjia should be around one hundred taels of gold. I will pay with one hand and deliver the goods later."
Wei Yuan smiled and spoke.
When Li Liangzuo heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Wei Yuan would really ask him for money.
Besides, what kind of armor is worth a hundred taels of gold?
Before he could speak, a Xia envoy frowned and said, "One hundred taels of gold? General Wei might as well grab it."
Wei Yuan asked, "Aren't I robbing you?"
Xia Shi was speechless.
Li Liangzuo smiled awkwardly and said: "Isn't it just a hundred taels of gold? I can still afford it. I am lucky to be able to make a friend like Brother Wei with a hundred taels of gold."
To be honest, as the prince of Xixia, he did not need to be so humble when communicating with Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan responded: "Want to make friends with me?"
After a pause, he pretended to think about it, and then said again: "It's not impossible, I have to pay more."
Li Liangzuo:
"Brother Wei is really good at joking."
He was embarrassed.
If he is embarrassed, Wei Yuan will not feel embarrassed.
Ye Luxin first smiled and said: "Brother Wei, give me that armor later too."
Wei Yuan smiled, "It's easy to talk, do you want anything else?"
The envoys of the Liao and Xia countries all looked dark.
One hundred taels of gold and a pair of armor.
They really don't have the money to buy it.
Subsequently.
Ye Luxin and Li Liangzuo followed Wei Yuan to inspect the Forbidden Army barracks.
As for the others, they were invited by Xu Changzhi and others to have a drink in the tent.
Not only did they watch the drills of the Forbidden Army soldiers, they even watched the military horses.
And those military horses were carefully selected by Qin Zhen from each army in advance.
In terms of quality, it is not inferior to the war horses of Liao and Xia.
Li Liangzuo also noticed that the feed used by the army horses was mostly wheat bran and beans.
For horses, this is considered refined food.
Li Liangzuo said: "General Wei, your country's war horses have always been so well-fed? Are you afraid that they will be spoiled and won't even be able to eat ordinary fodder on the battlefield?"
Wei Yuan asked back: "Listen to what Master Li means, your country doesn't need such high-quality feed to raise horses?"
Li Liangzuo said truthfully: "It's just occasionally."
The farming industry in Xixia is not developed.
For them, the most natural fodder is the best food for horses.
The farming industry in the Great Zhou Dynasty was extremely developed, and the food for the war horses was naturally high-quality.
Therefore, the war horses of the Zhou Dynasty all look quite tall, while the war horses of the Liao and Xia countries all look leaner.
"I, the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, value horses as much as their lives. I would rather eat poorly than let the horses eat well."
"A country that doesn't cherish its horses has no future."
Wei Yuan said bluntly.
Ye Luxin said first: "Brother Wei is right. If a country doesn't even cherish its horses, then there will be no talk of kingship and hegemony."
"It's just that whether you care about your war horse or not can't be seen just from the horse material."
As everyone was talking, they came to the general stage inadvertently.
Ye Luxin and Li Liangzuo first looked at the soldiers who were constantly training in front of them. They felt something in their hearts and said one after another:
"I heard that General Wei developed a new military training method in Daizhou, which can enable close cooperation between multiple arms. I wonder if this military training method will be promoted in the Zhou army?"
"What is the difference between General Wei's training method and the ordinary training method?"
Now, people in the Great Zhou know that Wei Yuan has developed a new training method.
Even the enemy countries are paying attention.
After all, they are well aware of the history of the Great Zhou.
Back then, during the Warring States Period, the State of Wei became stronger for a time by training.
And the State of Qin also achieved this goal by strengthening the army with laws.
It can be seen that if there is a new training method, and this training method can be applied to the existing Great Zhou army, it will definitely increase the military strength of the Great Zhou.
This is a point they are more worried about.
"Any training method requires a certain amount of practice to test. I am not in a hurry, so why are you two in a hurry?"
After saying that, Wei Yuan took a flag and waved it left and right to the soldiers who were training.
In an instant, the soldiers quickly adjusted their formation according to the flag, and in less than half a minute, a set of eight-door golden lock formation was formed.
For those soldiers who are familiar with the art of war, if they can't set up one or two formations, they are embarrassed to be called generals.
Therefore, Yelu Xinxian and Li Liangzuo are also familiar with the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation. They are slightly surprised.
"In such a short time, a set of formations can be arranged. General Wei's research on the art of formations has reached perfection."
"I have heard that your country's soldiers are proficient in the art of formations. Today I see that it is well-deserved."
"."
The soldiers of the Imperial Guards were able to set up a large formation so quickly, which was actually the result of Qin Zhen's advance training last night.
After all, it takes a certain amount of time to prepare to set up the so-called Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation.
With the improvement of the quality of armor and the high development of cavalry.
In fact, these art of formations can no longer reflect a huge advantage in actual combat.
However, using the art of formations to train soldiers will have unexpected results.
When the soldiers of the Imperial Guards changed their formations, Wei Yuan noticed that a young general seemed to have good martial arts.
However, because the envoy was beside him, he just kept the man in mind for the time being and did not make it public.
"It's just a few tricks, not worth mentioning."
Wei Yuan waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to continue training.
Then, he said: "In fact, it's hard for you to see anything from daily training."
"After all, the battlefield situation changes rapidly. Sometimes, a general's decision can often determine the victory or defeat of an army."
Yelu Xinxian and Li Liangzuo deeply agreed.
Soon.
The envoys of the two countries left the imperial army camp one after another.
On the way back to the official post.
Yelu Xinxian and Li Liangzuo rode in the same carriage.
The two said one after another:
"It's a pity that we didn't see Wei Yuan's new training method today."
"Yes, the purpose of our insistence on seeing the imperial army barracks is to see Wei Yuan's new training method, but the result is not satisfactory."
Paused.
Yelu Xinxian frowned and said, "In the battle of Daizhou, when Wei Yuan attacked the vanguard camp of the Liao Dynasty, he brought a hundred guards."
"I heard from many soldiers that they saw with their own eyes that the performance of Wei Yuan's guards in the chaos overturned their understanding of the Zhou Dynasty."
Li Liangzuo sighed, "It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes."
"But judging from what happened today, Wei Yuan will definitely be a great enemy of our two countries."
"If there is a chance, we must kill him."
