Chapter 17 Secret Discussion of the Blood Wolf Army
Along the way, Wu Qilong, Li Cunba and others joined the team, which made the team more lively. Although there were some unscrupulous thieves who cut the path occasionally, they were all dealt with by the Beggar Gang's helpers on the road.
When they were resting in the middle of the trip, Kang Long called Wu Qilong and Li Cunba to talk. Kang Long learned a lot about Jiangling from their mouths, and also learned how the two met.
The two of them are not acquainted without fighting. It happened a few years ago. Wu Qilong led his brothers from the Huazi Club to move around Huainan to get information, and happened to run into a fight between Li Cunba and the Tengjiao Gang.
Li Cunba was in a hurry to break out of the encirclement and happened to see Wu Qilong and others arriving. He thought it was someone from the Tengjiao Gang who came to help, so he attacked Wu Qilong. Fortunately, Wu Qilong saw that something was wrong and jumped out of the battle after a few fights.
Later, after they made it clear, the two groups of people, who were strangers to each other at first, got to know each other after they killed several masters of the Tengjiao Gang side by side.
Kang Long said: "Brothers, I called you here to ask your opinions on the preparation of the Blood Wolf Army. If you have any ideas, you might as well tell me. I plan to go to Jinling after this trip.
Huaibei worked hard to establish the Blood Wolf Army."
Wu Qilong had never served in the army. When he heard Kang Long's words, he said: "Master Kang, I have never been in the army. I really don't understand the affairs of the army."
Li Cunba was a veteran in the army and was well-informed. After hearing this, he thought for a moment and asked Kang Long: "My lord, what is the purpose of establishing our Blood Wolf Army? Does it belong to the official imperial court?"
What is the organizational structure? How many people are going to be recruited? What are the conditions for recruitment? Where do the soldiers’ salaries come from? Where are they stationed?”
Li Cunba's series of questions all touched on key points. Kang Long had obviously thought carefully and did not want to build a blood wolf army in Huaishang rashly, so he said: "Cunba's questions are very good.
, these are issues that we must figure out now, otherwise once implemented, these issues are not resolved, it will be very troublesome, and it may be self-defeating and mess up things."
Li Cunba nodded secretly, and Wu Qilong said smoothly: "Master Kang, although I don't understand the affairs of the army, I can still help by inquiring about information, surveying the terrain, recruiting soldiers, etc."
Kang Long laughed, Wu Qilong is a real person and knows where his strengths are.
"Qilong, now you know why I invited you to join the Blood Wolf Army? Without you, my Blood Wolf Army will be missing two sharp wolf eyes."
Li Cunba also laughed. He knew more or less about the affairs of the Beggar Clan. It was a brilliant idea to use people from the Beggar Clan to gather information, survey the terrain, and learn about personnel.
When Li Cunba was in the army, he looked down on these filthy beggars and the small gangs in the world. Only after suffering several losses in succession did he truly understand these little people at the bottom.
key role.
There are many scouts in the army who are responsible for spying on information. If there is information that cannot be detected, most of it is bought or coerced from them. You can't imagine that the power of such a small local gang can have such influence on a local situation.
What a huge impact the outcome of the war has.
"I'll tell you the preliminary plan. You can read it in detail and see what else needs to be added." Kang Long picked up the branches on the ground, drew a rough topographic map of the upper and lower Huai River on the ground, and pointed to the four roads north of the Huai River.
Tributary Road: "This is the territory of Huaibei Jiedushi Tang Tianbao. At the intersection of each tributary and the main waterway, heavy troops of the Huaibei Army are stationed. On the other side, the Southern Tang Army is also stationed. Therefore, our Blood Wolf Army
If you want to build in Huaishang, you must be a force that survives in the cracks. This army is my personal army, Kanglong, a private soldier. It is only loyal to me, Kanglong, and is not responsible to anyone or any force. Therefore, it will definitely not
With the establishment of the imperial court, everything has to be done by ourselves." When Kang Long said this, he looked specifically at Li Cunba and Wu Qilong. Their expressions were different. Wu Qilong was shocked and stunned, and even a little excited, and murmured
: "Master Kang, is Master Kang going to rebel?"
Li Cunba had a look of understanding on his face, and his whole body was obviously in a state of excitement, as if he had returned to the days when he was conquering east and west and bleeding from the sword.
"Fuck you, that's what you said! Old Li understands what my lord means. The Blood Wolf Army is like a hidden arrow in my lord's hand. It can be shot out at any time for the lord's important events!"
Kang Long explained his purpose of establishing the Blood Wolf Army to the two of them, and also let them understand some of his ambitions. Kang Long smiled indifferently, and then continued: "There are many bandits on Huaihe River. I'm afraid you two are better than me in this matter."
It’s also clear, do you think it’s easy to solve the problem of soldiers and financial resources? With two of you guys who are familiar with Huaishang’s personnel in charge of the Blood Wolf Army, what else do I have to worry about? However, I will dispatch a few familiar special forces from the Northwest Shenwu Army at that time.
The master of tactics comes to the Blood Wolf Army to assist you two, and they will implement my tactics in the Blood Wolf Army. This special tactics is very effective for the selection, training, and military discipline of the Blood Wolf Army.
, so you don’t have to worry about this.”
Wu Qilong was a little overwhelmed by Kang Long's bold move, and nodded blankly, while Li Cunba frowned secretly, but then relaxed. If Kang Long was really so relieved to leave the Blood Wolf Army to the two of them,
, this will make Li Cunba look down on him.
It would be unreasonable not to send a few confidants to help manage such a big matter. After all, Li Cunba and Wu Qilong have never fought side by side with Kang Long, so they cannot be regarded as Kang Long's confidants.
People. Even though Kang Long confessed his heart, Li Cunba actually still had a trace of contempt in his heart. But after Kang Long said this, he put his mind at ease.
Li Cunba nodded secretly. This person is indeed thoughtful, bold and thorough in his actions, and has the qualities of a person who achieves great things.
"Soldiers are more valuable than more. You two must remember that the Blood Wolf Army is a strange force that emerged from the cracks. The soldiers must not be mixed and confused. Every soldier recruited must go through strict screening, and only those who are trustworthy must be selected."
, and only those who are brave and courageous can be recruited into the army. Therefore, the initial quota of the Blood Wolf Army is about a thousand people. Each of these thousand people must be strong, brave, bloody, and responsible." Kang Long looked in his eyes.
Shining with a sharp light, he seemed to be full of confidence as he saw the future.
Wu Qilong reacted and praised: "Kang Ye's words make sense. I remember that I once watched the battle between the Huaibei Army and the Southern Tang Army. Although both sides invested a large number of soldiers, the soldiers' military discipline was lax.
If you don't have a strong fighting spirit, if you encounter a stronger army, you will be killed and run away, consuming food in vain, which is of no use at all."
Li Cunba was deeply aware of this point, so he agreed with Kang Long's view that "soldiers are more valuable than more soldiers." However, he raised a question, "My lord, Huaibei now has 100,000 soldiers, and Southern Tang has even more."
There are nearly 200,000 armored soldiers. If we want to establish a foothold on the Huaihe River, a thousand of us are too few."
