Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Nan Gongwen stepped forward, "General Zhou, most of the border people are hunters here, and they can also farm. They are physically strong, able to endure hardships, and have strong combat effectiveness. As long as they are trained, they will soon become a brave army."

"Well, Nan Gongwen is right." Defang nodded, "and the border people here are simple and honest. As long as they can protect their homeland, they will unite with the outside world. Now the imperial court recruits and gives them land and rewards. Life."

At this time, Yuan Shantao, the guard of the border town, came to greet "the last general will see the prince for a thousand years"

"General Yuan doesn't need to be too polite. I hope General Yuan will fully cooperate with the lonely king this time."

"The last general will definitely assist the prince to achieve the emperor's order," Yuan Shantao bowed

"General Yuan" Defang refers to Wei Xian Wei Neng "This is Wei Xian, the second son of King Gu (then General Zuo Yulin) and the youngest son Wei Neng (then General Youtunwei). I hope General Yuan will give you some advice."

Wei Xianwei was able to step forward and bow his hands, "See General Yuan"

"The last general doesn't dare, the two little highnesses please don't be too polite." Yuan Shantao cupped his hands and returned the gift

"General Yuan, let's post the imperial list today, the lonely king wants to do this as soon as possible," Defang said

"Yes, I'll take care of this, my lord and your two highnesses please rest in the city."

Defang and a group of people came to the official residence, Jiajun arranged guards and inspections, Defang asked Chongming to follow Wei Xian, and Shan En followed Wei Neng, each with four guards to the surrounding towns to recruit, Zhou Shixiong and Nan Gongwen were in charge of contacting the border towns For various affairs, Defang and Jiajun are responsible for the recruitment of archers at the junction of the three places.

The emperor's list was posted to the effect that the recruited archers will each give two fields to each of them, and those who have three hectares on the field will be given one war horse.

Because the pay is good and there are many applicants, in a few days, more than 30 people have registered in several border towns, and there is an increasing trend. In terms of party language, strong and strong men between the ages of 500 and [-] were recruited, and the number of formally recruited personnel was nearly [-]. Defang organized the personnel into divisions, and allocated guard points according to their living locations. Set up camps between them to facilitate communication and care for each other, practice daily, exercise the strength of the arms, and master the skills of using the bow. After nearly three months of training, the bow and arrow troop has taken shape, and the range and accuracy of the archers have reached combat requirements.

One day, a soldier came to report, "Report to the lord, there is a small group of troops coming from the border to the border town."

"Do you know who? Are there other troops?" Defang asked

"It is Li Deming, the leader of the party, and there is no other army"

Defang frowned, "It's him"

"My lord, the last general will lead the troops to attack," Yuan Shantao said.

"Wait a minute" Defang got up, "Since we are a small group of people, they didn't come here to cause trouble. Presumably Li Deming has something to say, so the lonely king will meet him."

"My lord, don't take risks," Yuan Shantao said

"Don't worry, there are nearly a thousand guards in this city, and there are thousands of newly recruited archers. Even if Li Deming launches an attack now, he will not be able to take advantage of it. General Yuan is preparing in the city, and the lonely king will come out of the city to meet him."

"Yes, the last general obeys the order of the prince." Yuan Shantao immediately went to the city to prepare for battle, and the surrounding archers also began to arrive at the guard point, standing with bows.
