Xiao Wei is not short of money now. Even if he fails to sell horses this time, he still has hundreds of thousands of taels of confidence in his hands. Coupled with the ability of Fatty Tang, it is not difficult to make money from money. As for the strength of the court,
Well, although it is still unclear at the moment, Xiao Wei is not worried. In fact, Xiao Wei also has some ideas in his mind on how to run the court. Even if it cannot be effective immediately, if he continues, he can always gain something. This Xiao Wei
Wei Zi is quite confident, but there is one thing that gives Xiao Wei a headache, and that is talent!
There is no shortage of people under Xiao Wei, there are a lot of minions, and there are only a few talents. For example, Wang Zheng, the Ning family brothers, etc. can barely be regarded as useful people. The problem is that these talents are all assigned by the old man.
It can be used, but when it comes to being heart-to-heart, at least Xiao Wei can't believe it until he understands his old man's thoughts, so he just uses it temporarily. Besides, the Ning brothers and others can only use it temporarily.
He can only be regarded as a high-level thug, far from being both wise and courageous, let alone someone who can strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. For Xiao Wei, the most important thing now is not to make money and power, but to accumulate strength. Talent is
The key is this, and this is also one of the purposes of Xiao Wei's mission to Yanxi.
Since ancient times, slaves are easy to come by, but talents are hard to find. This is a common sense. Although Xiao Wei went out to the capital this time with the intention of salvaging talents, he said it was just a temporary try. Deep down in his heart, he had no idea.
He had too much hope, but when he heard Wang Shu talk about the situation of moving reinforcements, Xiao Wei's heart moved - drawing a sword to help when the road is uneven is righteous; daring to go forward when knowing that he is outnumbered is brave;
Being able to assess the situation is wisdom; with these three things, one can be called a talent. At least in Xiao Wei's view, Lin Chongming can definitely be regarded as a useful talent. As for whether he is a pillar, or whether he can be accepted.
It is for his own use, but it is still between two choices, but no matter what, Xiao Wei, who is thirsty for talents, will not let go of such a great opportunity. No, he asked in detail about the battle last night.
After Lin Chongming's performance, Xiao Wei couldn't sit still. He didn't care how Fatty Tang dealt with the two hot potatoes of Ximen Haiyun and Chen Huainan, and hurriedly led Wang Shu and other guards.
Went to the camp of the Longxian militia group at the foot of the mountain.
"Good morning, Guard Wang." Xiao Wei and other people had just arrived at the Longxian militia camp. A patrol officer on duty in front of the camp gate led a few soldiers to greet him. When he saw Wang Shu, he hurriedly bowed.
He saluted and said hello, but he showed no intention of letting the king enter the camp.[
"Oh, it's Wu Chang Liu. My young prince is here." Wang Ye looked at it and recognized the person. He quickly stepped aside, waved his hand, and introduced Xiao Wei's identity.
The corps commander surnamed Liu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Xiao Wei and saluted, and said respectfully: "The common people are here to see the young prince. I'm wearing armor, so I can't salute you properly.
I hope the little prince Haihan will be alone."
"Commander Liu is excused, but Captain Lin is in the camp?" Xiao Wei saw that although this commander had a low official position, his conversation was extraordinary, and he was secretly surprised. He smiled humbly and raised his hand.
road.
"Here, please wait a moment, young prince. I will go and report it right now." Liu Wuzhang did not let him go without authorization because of his respect for Xiao Wei's status. Although his attitude was respectful, his tone was very firm.
"Bold! My young prince is here, how can I allow you to be so negligent!"
"presumptuous!"
Before Xiao Wei could speak, several palace guards following him couldn't help it, and started shouting loudly - the militia were formed by counties to prevent theft, and summoned the large households in the county to prepare their own civilians.
The organization is not an army, and can only be regarded as semi-official at best. Even if the leader of the militia gets the title of school captain, it is just a false title, not to mention compared to a person of Xiao Wei's status.
The official ranks of all the guards were above that of Lin Chongsheng. At this time, Xiao Wei came to visit in person. Lin Chongming should have summoned all the militia to come to see him, but the corps commander dared not let Xiao Wei enter the camp. This made all the palace guards
How can we endure it?
"Yes." Xiao Wei had a sullen face, waved his hand, and stopped the angry scolding of the guards. He smiled gently at Wu-chang Liu and said, "Wu-chang Liu, please help yourself. Little Wang will wait here."
"Young prince, please forgive me." Wu Chang Liu bowed and saluted in a calm manner. He didn't care how ugly the faces of the palace guards were. He turned around and walked in on his own.
In the camp.
"Young prince, my subordinates..." Seeing all his colleagues angry, Wang Tie immediately felt embarrassed. He was worried that Xiao Wei would hold a grudge because of being slighted, so he hurriedly stood up and opened his mouth to speak out for the Lin brothers.
intercede.
"There is no need to say anything, Guard Wang. Xiao Wang knows what he is talking about." Xiao Wei was very shrewd. How could he not know what Wang Ye was going to say? So he smiled slightly and waved his hand to stop Wang Ye. But in his heart, he was thinking about the Lin family brothers.
There is a bit more expectation for his ability - real skills can be seen in the small details, as the saying goes, details determine success or failure. Small people like corps commanders have this quality, and their ability as commanders can be imagined. If they are
It is a great blessing to be able to find talented people on this trip. How can Xiao Wei care about the so-called etiquette of respect and inferiority?
In the battle last night, the militia of the Lin brothers actually didn't put in much effort, and they didn't encounter any hard-to-break bones. If you think about it seriously, it was just a matter of chasing and killing. After the whole battle, it was just
Less than ten people were killed or injured, but a lot was captured. Not counting those who were killed, more than 500 prisoners of war were captured, and more than 30 war horses were captured, including Prince Xiang's Mansion.
The number of prisoners of war handed over by one side was just over 1,500. There were only about 400 officers and soldiers in the entire camp, but there were more than 2,100 prisoners of war. This result made everyone in the militia smile with joy. Although due to the counting of prisoners of war and arrangements,
They had been busy all night with setting up camp and other matters, but the morale of the whole army was extremely high. Even Lin Chongsheng, who had always been stern and unsmiling, was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear. At this time, he was in the Chinese army's tent with a few cronies.
While joking about yesterday's war, he was suddenly surprised when he heard that Xiao Wei was visiting in person. He didn't know how to greet this dandy prince who was famous for his mischief.
"Second brother, what do you think the third prince is here for?" Lin Chongsheng has always admired Xiang Wang Xiao Rui, who is the most brave in the world, and came to rescue Xiao Wei this time because of Xiang Wang Xiao Rui.
In fact, the dandy boy didn't even have the slightest favor. When he heard that Xiao Wei had come to visit, he really had a headache. After hesitating for a while, he didn't know how to receive him, so he had to turn his attention to the smiling and silent man.
Lin Chongming asked after considering his words.
"It's okay, big brother, just go and greet me. Little brother, just wait here." The smile on Lin Chongming's face did not change and he replied lightly.
"This..." Lin Chongsheng had always known that his second brother was very resourceful. Seeing that he looked confident, he hesitated for a moment, didn't ask any more questions, and hurried out of the center with several of his confidants.
They rushed to the military tent and rushed to the door of the barracks. When they saw Xiao Wei, who was dressed in fine clothes, standing in front of the camp with a smile, he hurriedly rushed forward, bowed and saluted: "Xiaguan Long County Militia League School Wei Lin
Chongsheng meets the young prince."
What a big man! Although Xiao Wei had hurriedly met with the Lin family brothers in the dark night last night and praised him a few words, but at that time, Xiao Wei was full of doubts in his heart and did not pay much attention to the Lin family brothers. In addition,
It was dark night, and I had not even looked at the person seriously. Now I saw that the person was tall and tall, with a Chinese character face and a beautiful beard fluttering under his chin. He looked like the reincarnation of Guan Yunchang. I secretly praised him in my heart and hurriedly took a step forward.
Xu Di raised his hand and said: "Captain Lin, there is no need to be polite. Xiao Wang has taken the liberty to come here. I have caused too much inconvenience. Please forgive me."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. It's a blessing for our Long County militia that the young prince can come. Please invite me, young prince." Lin Chongsheng felt disgusted in his heart when he saw Xiao Wei's polite and courteous manner. He was not at all like the arrogant and domineering people in the legend.
As a result, he was reduced a lot, and he quickly turned aside to get out of the way, waved his hand, and politely allowed Xiao Wei to enter the camp.
"Lieutenant Lin, you're welcome. Well, who is Lin Chongming, Mr. Lin?" Xiao Wei did not rush into the camp, but glanced at the leaders of the militia following Lin Chongsheng. He was very polite.
asked.
"This..." As soon as Xiao Wei said this, Lin Chongsheng was stunned. Thinking of his second brother's previous words, he immediately realized that the purpose of this master's visit was to find his second brother.
Brother, and my second brother seemed to have anticipated Xiao Wei's intention, and couldn't help but become a little curious, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only bow down respectfully and said: "Little Prince Haihan, my second brother had a battle last night
Later, I felt slightly unwell and was resting in the tent. Since the young prince wanted to see me, he allowed me to go and summon him."[
Sick? It can't be such a coincidence. Well, this guy has most likely guessed our purpose of coming. Hey, if you don't want to see us, we want to see you! Xiao Wei is such a shrewd person. When he saw Lin Chongsheng's face
He had already guessed the answer to the mystery, and he was even more optimistic about Lin Chongming's ability. At the same time, it also aroused Xiao Wei's competitive spirit, so he said with a smile: "Oh
?It turns out that Brother Lin contracted the disease while trying to save Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang should go and visit him. How about asking Colonel Lin to make it easier for him?"
"Young prince, please." Lin Chongsheng didn't know exactly what his second brother's plan was, but when he heard that Xiao Wei had gone so far as to say what he said, he couldn't help but agree, so he had to reply respectfully and turned around to lead the way.
Not enough.
Lin Chongming? Hey, let’s see how I deal with you! Xiao Wei muttered to himself, followed Lin Chongsheng with a smile, and walked straight into the barracks...
