Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

"Meet the young commander!"

Of course, many generals of the Wagang Army had heard of Kou Zhong, and they quickly raised their glasses to pay tribute.

"Speaking of which, although this is the first time for me to meet all of you here, we are no strangers to you either."

"Xie Yingdeng, Wang Junke, and You Junda are appointed as Zhonglang Generals under my command, each commanding fifteen thousand troops."

"In the previous battles of Poyang and Jiangxia, the three of them contributed a lot."

Raising his wine glass high, Kou Zhong said with a smile.

"Shh!!!"

Immediately.

Many generals present were naked.

Although everyone knew that the Shaoshuai army was very strong, a sudden army emerged, captured three counties, and destroyed the Poyang sect.

But after all, the Young Marshal Army had only appeared not long ago, and no one knew who the generals were in the Young Marshal Army.

Today, when I heard that Xie Yingdeng, Wang Junke, and You Junda were mentioned by Kou Zhong, the Wagang generals immediately showed joy. Most of the generals here were 46 friends of Jia Liulou who had become sworn brothers with Xie Yingdeng. How could they feel strange to them?

When they heard that Xie Yingdeng and the others were already Zhonglang generals, commanding 577 soldiers and [-] horses, many people felt a sense of envy in their hearts.

As the head of the Wagang Army, Zhai Rang didn't care, but the second head of the army, Li Mi, had a hint of gloom in his eyes.

On the surface, there are many people in the Wagang army who support Li Mi, but in fact, the only people who are really Li Mi's own are Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji and his wife, Fang Yanzao, Yang Defang, and Zheng Detao. He dreams of poaching generals. , but has never been able to do so.

But Kou Zhong intervened, and these words fell into the ears of everyone. There must be many people who want to join the Young Marshal's Army. This is equivalent to taking meat from Li Mi's bowl. How can he not feel distressed!

"Hahaha!"

"Everyone, give another toast to the young commander!"

At this time, Zhai Rang raised his glass and drank.

"To the young marshal!"

Many Wagang Army generals raised their glasses one after another, and the atmosphere was particularly warm.

It seemed that when Kou Zhong said that he had Xie Yingdeng and three people under his command, he became one of the Wagang Army's own.

The whole camp was bustling with laughter and joy. No one saw Li Mi, Xu Shiji, Wang Bodang and others secretly leaving the party.

.........

Inside Li Mi's tent.

"Kou Zhong came here this time, and the person who came here is not a good person!"

Looking around at everyone, Li Mi let out a long sigh.

"Mr. Secret."

"I thought it was a good thing that Kou Zhong came here."

As a female voice sounded, a woman in white from the left suddenly stood up and said.

Her skin is as good as snow, and her coolness cannot hide her stunning beauty. Her long hair is draped over a vest, held gently with a green ribbon. She wears white clothes to highlight the figure of the heroine underneath, and her eyes are clear and clear. , wise and cunning.

This is Shen Luoyan, the chief military advisor of the Wagang Army.

When several people present saw her getting up, they couldn't help showing admiration, and even Li Mi had a look of covetousness in his eyes.

But they all know very well that Shen Luoyan is not something that can be described as a beauty, and her scheming and resourcefulness are unparalleled. Even Xu Shiji, her fiancé, is ashamed of herself, which shows how 'powerful' she is!

"What does the military commander mean by this?"

After coming back to his senses, Li Mi looked at Shen Luoyan and asked.

"Kou Zhong came here to interrupt Li Xiuning and convince our army to support Du Fuwei, thus clearing the obstacles for the Young Marshal's army to march into Jianghuai."

"This purpose has clearly been achieved."

"But why he hasn't left for so long? He must be waiting for something."

"With all due respect, waiting is just a matter of recruiting 46 friends from Jia Liulou."

"If there is anyone in the Wagang Army who is willing to follow him, it will not only weaken the strength of the Wagang Army, but also Zhai Rang's."

"This is the perfect time for the Secret Duke to ascend to power!"

A hint of ruthlessness appeared on Shen Luoyan's cold face.

As early as a few months ago, she and Xu Shiji had already proposed a plan to occupy the magpie's nest and replace it when they joined Li Mi.

It's just that there has been no chance for a long time. Unexpectedly, the opportunity was brought by Kou Zhong.

"What the military division said is true."

"Then let's see how Kou Zhong behaves first!"

After hearing this, Li Mi's eyes also shone with light.

Everyone present understood it.

Chapter 58: Taking advantage of your strength, the beautiful strategist Shen Luoyan!

At night, Kou Zhong, who had just left the banquet, returned to his tent and washed his face.

"Young Master!"

Jin Yiti, who was in charge of the guard, rode forward and reported: "Hou Junji, Shi Danai, Li Junxian and others are here."

"Oh?"

"Please!"

Kou Zhong raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Yes."

Jinyi Tiqi immediately opened the curtain, and a large group of men pressed into the tent. They all saluted and said, "I have met the young commander!"

Seeing this, the smile on Kou Zhong's face became more intense. Zhai Rang and Li Mide felt heartbroken at this moment.

"I don't have any extra space here, so just make do with it."

"Since everyone is here, I won't hide you."

"The rules of the Young Marshal's Army are very simple. Those who are capable will be promoted, those who are mediocre will be demoted, and those who are inferior will be eliminated."

"In addition to military positions, there is also a fifteen-level title system, which is hereditary. As long as you have military merit, you can be crowned king."

"In addition, under the rule of our army, people do not need to pay various taxes or perform labor services. There are only three items: land tax, commercial tax, and customs duty."

"Among them, the land tax collects one-tenth of the revenue from each mu of fertile land. All people who join the rule of our army will receive one mu of fertile land per capita. In the first year, grain seeds will be provided by the government. All cultivated fields will be registered and belong to the people. No one can take it away from you, and anyone who violates it will be killed!"

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Junji, Shi Danai, Li Junxian and others all cheered.

Not all of the 46 friends in Jia Liulou are from aristocratic families such as Chai Shao and Luo Cheng, but more of them are heroes from ordinary people.

Therefore, for these people, the simplicity of the Young Marshal Army makes them more excited than any other force.

"Young commander."

"You must have guessed that we want to join the Young Marshal's Army."

Hou Junji spoke on behalf of all the generals present.

"Can!"

Facing everyone's scorching gazes, Kou Zhong nodded and replied: "The Young Marshal's Army is expanding its territory and needs a lot of talents."

"But the Young Marshal Army emphasizes promotion through military merit. Xie Yingdeng, You Junda, and Wang Junke were just captains when they first arrived."

"Here, I can promise that each of you can lead a battalion and be named a captain."

"Perhaps many people in the Wagang Army have more than these soldiers and horses, but I can guarantee that what you get in the Wagang Army will never be more than what you get in the Young Marshal's Army."

"The goal of the Young Marshal's Army this year is not just three counties, but ten counties. There are a lot of military achievements ahead. Let's see if you have the ability to take them."

Swish! ! !

Everyone present raised their heads, their gazes becoming extremely fiery.

The reason why they came here despite the official positions in the Wagang Army was because they thought Kou Zhong had a better future!

Good guy!

Ten counties, that's too much to eat, but they like it.

In addition to Jiangxia, Jiujiang, and Poyang counties, there are seven counties that are not under the control of the young commander's army.

This means that they have the military merit to regain at least seven counties. If they do this well, it will be easy for everyone to be promoted to Zhonglang General.

What's more, there are still titles in the Young Marshal's Army, which can allocate fields and houses to them. This is no better than the grass-roots team in the Wagang Army.

"Hou Junji, Shi Danai, Zhang Gongjin, Sheng Yanshi."

"I order the four of you to be infantry captains."

"Fan Hu, Lian Ming, Tie Kui, Ren Zhong."

"I will appoint the four of you as captains of the light army."

"Lu Mingxing, Lu Mingyue."

"You two are appointed captains of the navy."

"Go to Poyang's Fifth Army Commander's Office with the order to report. Former Army Commander Xu Ziling will arrange for you to join each army."

With that said, Kou Zhong picked up the pen, stamped a written handwritten letter with his personal seal, and handed it to Hou Junji.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Hou Junji and the other ten people's faces were filled with joy.

At this time, Kou Zhong looked at the two scholar-looking young men on the field and said, "Jia Runfu and Liu Zhouchen."

"You two are not good at battlefield conquests, but the Young Marshal's Army does not only consist of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, but also six more."

"I have ordered you two to be the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, and report to the government office of the Ministry of Personnel in Poyang with orders."

"The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the selection, promotion, and inspection of officials."

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Hearing this, Jia Runfu and Liu Zhouchen couldn't help but shine in their eyes.

The two of them opened Jia Liu Tower and joined the Wagang Army together just to give it a try. Unexpectedly, the Wagang Army was just a grassroots team and there was no chance for the two of them to show off their skills. After all, the two were weak in martial arts and could only be at the level of second-rate masters.

But the Shaoshuai Army was different. There were three counties under its rule and a large number of civil servants were needed. Their role suddenly became prominent.

"Li Junxian〃~."

"Have you ever heard of the name Jinyiwei?"

"I heard it!"

Li Junxian nodded and replied solemnly.

The Jin Yiwei are the personal soldiers of Marshal Kou Zhong, and they are also responsible for checking intelligence and assassinating.

Which force in the world could not take notice of Jin Yiwei?

"In that case, you can go to Jinyiwei and be the commander of the Northern Town Fusi."

"This warrant is handed over to the Poyang Jinyi Guards Commander."

With that said, Kou Zhong handed a handwritten letter to Li Junxian.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Li Junxian took the handwritten letter with joy.

Compared to fighting on the battlefield, he prefers to fight underground, and the Jin Yiwei is more suitable for him to display his skills.

At this time, Kou Zhong saw that everyone had not left yet and added: "Tomorrow, I will personally explain this matter to Master Zhai. You can just pack your things and go to Poyang."

"Yes."
