Recruiting Ten Thousand Infantry
Three miles south of Kaifeng City, there was a military camp stationed there.
Li Chengdao was in the military camp, watching the daily training of the 7,000 white-robed soldiers.
Yue Fei was a famous general of the Song Dynasty. His ability to manage the army was needless to say. His formation was also among the top.
Under his arrangements, the training of the white-robed army was carried out in an orderly manner.
"Your Highness, these soldiers are truly the elites of the elites.
This general could be said to be skilled in training and commanding.
With the help of such elite soldiers, Your Highness will definitely return to Chang 'an in the future.”
Yue Fei, who was accompanying Li Chengdao to inspect the army training, let out a heartfelt sigh.
He was extremely satisfied with these white-robed soldiers.
Although it was easy to get a thousand troops, it was hard to get a general.
However, just having a general and all the soldiers under him would require a huge amount of effort to nurture.
When Yue Fei took over, it was the elite soldiers of the White Robe Army who had fought their way through the flames of war.
It was very easy for them to change their formations.
"The soldiers are elite, and the generals are even more so." As for whether I can return to Chang 'an and eradicate the traitor Li Shimin, I have never doubted it.”
The two of them walked as they inspected the barracks.
When they returned to the central army tent, Yue Fei said,"
"Your Highness, although these seven thousand white-robed soldiers are elites, they can be considered peerless cavalry.
However, cavalry alone was far from enough.
His Highness must also have a large number of infantrymen.
Since ancient times, only when all the troops were strong could they seize the world.
The battle between His Highness and Li Shi Min would definitely be followed by a great war in the future.
The strength of cavalry lay in the decisive battle on the plains.
After a few rounds of charging, they could often defeat an army of infantry that outnumbered them.
However, once it came to a siege, the cavalry would have to hold their fire.
Thus, if they were to fight against the Turks, Tuyuhun, Khitans, and other foreign races, cavalry would be enough.
However, fighting with Li Shiming would definitely involve attacking cities and seizing territory.
Without an infantry legion as powerful as cavalry, it was impossible to attack a city.”
Li Chengdao had not considered this point. He believed that as long as he had enough cavalry under him, he would be able to sweep through everything.
Now, after Yue Fei's reminder, he immediately realized the importance of infantry.
At the same time, he thought of Mongolia in the future.
The Mongolian cavaliers swept across the world, but they still had powerful infantry.
The standard fighting style of the Mongol army was usually cavalry attacking and surrounding a city, annihilating the enemy's reinforcements in the wilderness, and then the infantry attacking the city.
Li Chengdao gladly accepted Yue Fei's suggestion and said,"Pengju, you are right.
Cavalry alone is far from enough. If I want to return to Chang 'an, I need to recruit a large number of infantry.
Only when there were multiple troops could they win.”
Yue Fei cupped his fists." Your Highness is wise."”
At this moment, a system notification sounded in Li Chengdao's mind.
"Congratulations to the host for triggering the mission option!”
"Option 1: Recruit 5,000 infantrymen within a month. Reward: Mu Guiying.”
" Option 2: Recruit 10,000 infantrymen within a month. Reward: Poison Warrior Jia Xu.”
"Note: The reward for this mission will only be given after the mission is completed. If the mission fails, the mission reward will be canceled.”
After listening carefully to the mission options, Li Chengdao did not make a choice immediately.
In the past, as long as he made a decision, he would immediately receive a reward. There was no such thing as a reward being canceled.
However, the reward for the current mission would only be given after he had chosen and completed it.
Li Chengdao had to choose carefully.
"I currently have a commander like Yue Fei and one of the three famous generals of the early Tang Dynasty, Xue Wanche.
As for the strategists, they were severely lacking.
No matter what decision I made, no one gave me a reference.
Therefore, the most suitable person for me right now is not Mu Guiying, but Jia Xu.
He didn't know if he could recruit 10,000 soldiers in a month with the support of the Zheng family.
But for a top strategist like Jia Xu, he could take the risk.”
After making up his mind, Li Chengdao immediately communicated with the system in his mind.
"I choose two. Within a month, I will recruit ten thousand infantry.”
"Selection successful. The countdown has officially begun. Host, please hurry up.”
After that, Li Chengdao and Yue Fei chatted for half a day about how to recruit soldiers.
It was not until the servant sent by Madam Zheng said that the head of the family had something urgent to discuss with him that he left the military camp and returned to the Zheng Manor.
……
In the main hall of the Zheng Manor.
The main hall of the Zheng Manor had already become the place where Li Chengdao, his uncle, grandfather, and maternal grandfather discussed matters.
In order to keep it a secret, the servants and maids in the residence were not allowed to take half a step inside without permission.
Once a servant was discovered to have entered the hall without permission, he would be immediately dragged away and beaten to death. There would be no mercy or mercy.
Li Chengdao also tacitly agreed to this and did not feel that it was too cruel.
The servants were forbidden from taking half a step into the hall, but they insisted on doing so. If that wasn't evil, then what was?
Li Chengdao had just entered the lobby when Zheng Jibo immediately handed him a letter and said,"
"Your Highness, take a look at this letter first.”
Li Chengdao took the letter and asked,""Wei Zheng sent another letter?"
"It's not Wei Zheng's letter, but Li Shimin's."”
"Li Shi Min!" Li Chengdao was shocked when he heard that. Then, he frowned and asked,"Why did Li Shi Min send a letter to my grandfather?”
Judging from the current situation, the Zheng family of Xingyang was obviously in the same lineup as Li Chengdao.
He and Li Shimin were like fire and water.
Under such circumstances, Li Shi Min still sent a letter over.
This made people wonder what his intentions were.
"Your Highness, please read the contents of the letter first. We'll discuss it after you're done," Zheng Jibo said.”
