Li Chengzhi sneered: "You have always been inferior to me, and you only know today?"
His words were quite a joke, but Hu Baozong shook his head seriously.
Not the same at all.
No matter how outstanding Li Chengzhi was before, he was only within the category of "skills" at most.
But now, his behavior of serving the people wholeheartedly highlights his human nature and the foundation of his work. The two are completely different... Speaking of metaphysics, it is already "Tao".
Hu Baozong claimed to be a gentleman, but in the end he found that his noble heart and ambitions were not as high-minded as Li Chengzhi, who he had always regarded as a treacherous person?
Even his only advantage of self-reliance was outweighed, he could only admire...
Hu Baozong sighed, gritting his teeth as if he was making a lot of determination: "What do you want me to do?"
He knew in his heart that Li Chengzhi deliberately scratched the most itchy place in his heart. He must be asking for something, and it probably wouldn't be easy to handle...
Li Song almost laughed.
In Lang Jun's words, this is because he is afraid of being cheated, which creates a psychological shadow.
Li Chengzhi looked at him with disdain: "Isn't that so?"
Hu Baozong nodded seriously: "As for that!"
"Are you going to do it or not?" Li Chengzhi was a little impatient.
He didn't know that Hu Baozong was back, so he asked Li Song how to borrow troops from the big families in the city.
But after knowing it, this problem is basically not a problem.
Hu Baozong needs an identity and a position, so it’s the perfect fit...
Hu Baozong has some bared teeth.
He was sure that if he didn't do what he said, Li Chengzhi would definitely be able to tell a lot of truths: He was trying to eliminate troubles for Governor Hu and solving problems for the Hu family... Anyway, grandpa is wiping your Hu family's butt.
,Are you going to do it or not?
I can't defeat him at all. The key is that Li Chengzhi is still reasonable...
He frowned and thought for a long time before suddenly becoming discouraged: "Do it!"
"I'm holding you back, trying to retreat... What's wrong?" Li Chengzhi glared at him, "Don't worry, I won't trick you this time... I just want you to come forward and borrow troops from the big families in the county... You don't think that I
Just take these hundreds of new recruits to pacify Liu Huiwang, who has 200,000 troops?"
"How can there be two hundred thousand? It's just a so-called..."
Hu Baozong had already analyzed that Liu Huiwang could have 20,000 fighting soldiers to stand up to the sky.
In terms of combat power, most of them should be at the level of the nearly a thousand rebel soldiers that Li Chengzhi used to annihilate with three hundred soldiers outside the city.
But if Li Chengzhi really wants to use these hundreds of soldiers to defeat the thieves, he is just telling a joke.
Hu Baozong felt that if Li Chengzhi could train five thousand soldiers, of which 20% were armored soldiers and 20% were light cavalry, it would be easy to defeat Liu Huiwang...
But where did the soldiers come from?
We can only recruit on the spot...
"Just borrowing troops, that simple?" Hu Baozong seemed a little unconvinced.
"It's actually not that simple!" Li Chengzhi sighed, "The first thing I want to borrow is the tribes of each family, not just the strong members of the clan. And as long as the war is not over, you can only listen to orders from the military and are not allowed to go home for any reason.
..."
Hu Baozong looked at Li Chengzhi blankly: "Buqu?"
Li Chengzhi nodded seriously: "Yes, part!"
He took a sharp breath.
I still want to keep it simple. How can it be so easy for Li Chengzhi to ask him for help so solemnly?
The so-called Buqu are family soldiers such as the more than a hundred veterans of the Li family.
To put it another way, such soldiers are also called Baoding. They can only be found in clans with Wubao. They may not all be elites, but at least everyone has armor...
Four hundred docks in the northwest, 20,000 armored soldiers!
This is not a general reference, but an edict from Wang Mang's Tianfeng reign, which means that a fort can only train fifty armored soldiers at most.
Of course, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so how much you can raise depends on the financial resources and means of each family!
Therefore, people are only secondary, and armor is the most important thing. Larger clans, such as the Li family, have three thousand acres of private land, but they can only produce ten pairs of fine steel armor in a year, so naturally they are as careless as they are. p>
Hu Baozong estimated that even if he really borrowed it and promised to return it eventually, no one would be willing.
After all, he is just the direct son of the Hu family, a seventh-grade captain, and his face is not big enough.
It would have been about the same if it had been his grandfather or the governor Hu Shichang...
Hu Baozong shook his head: "It's difficult!"
"Go and borrow it first, be more sincere and say that as long as the war is calmed down, it's hard to say, but A will definitely return it intact... If there is still no one to borrow it, it's not impossible to give them something as a deposit..."<
/p>
When he said the last sentence, Li Chengzhi winked at Hu Baozong, which meant that he still had two thousand kilograms of copper in his hand...
Hu Baozong was shocked.
Li Chengzhi really doesn’t cheat him anymore?
He was already mentally prepared that "as long as he can lend it out, it will be returned by the Hu family in the end." Didn't he expect Li Chengzhi to be so generous?
Hu Baozong felt warm in his heart, and his eyes began to heat up: God, open your eyes...
"No need!"
His mind started to heat up, and his tone was a little decisive, but when he met Li Chengzhi's teasing gaze, he came to his senses: If he really couldn't borrow it, he would be the one to be embarrassed...
Hu Baozong immediately changed his tune and said with a blushing face: "I mean I won't use it for the time being... If no one is willing to borrow it, it won't be too late to take this step..."
Hey, are you smart?
Li Chengzhi lazily looked at his joke and said noncommittally: "You can decide what's right for you. Just ask Li Song for whatever you want. My bottom line is: at least three thousand men must be recruited..."
He paused and then said thoughtfully, "If no one is willing to borrow armor or troops, you can borrow some food and grass... Just do your best!"
Li Chengzhi didn't say the rest of the sentence.
If there really is a rich family that doesn't borrow anything, then don't blame them for not practicing martial ethics.
There are ways to deal with it...
Hearing the words "just do your best", not to mention Hu Baozong, even Li Song was a little surprised.
Lang Jun suddenly changed his mind. He changed his previous plans and acted in a grand manner?
Hu Baozong was even more moved. He stood up again and bowed to Li Chengzhi: "I will definitely live up to your trust!"
He had a vague intuition that once he prepared for war, Li Chengzhi might leave all the "diplomatic relations" and "money, grain, food and grass" matters to him.
He is a captain of a county, and he can be called a "general" if he goes one step further, but Li Chengzhi asked him to be a Cao official?
But Hu Baozong was happy with it.
One is because he knows that Li Chengzhi has no such talent at all. Regardless of the rest, not even Guo Cunxin can compare with him in terms of "diplomacy".
Secondly, he knew that his ability to lead troops in battle was much worse than Li Song, let alone Li Chengzhi.
The third thing is that no matter how you put it, Li Chengzhi is still helping the Hu family in suppressing thieves.
It was also because Li Chengzhi finally stopped cheating on him...
This is definitely not a joke.
Ever since the night when Fu Yinzhen was executed, when Hu Baozong ordered his generals to fire arrows out of desperation, an irreparable rift had developed between the two. Li Chengzhi always seemed to be scheming against him, but in fact he was telling him: You are unkind, I
Nature can be unjust...
Now that he can be entrusted with serious matters, it shows that there are signs of reconciliation. How could Hu Baozong not try his best?
