Wang Xing raised two fingers and asked carefully: "Is two thousand people enough?"

Liang Xiao and Li Jiao exchanged glances again.:.../.

They knew that they accidentally broke a fact that Kuaiji official might know everything, but no one told me.

In the eyes of many people in the court, Kuaiji is a wild land with a vast land of land, with slashing and fire, and tattooing. To put it simply, it is a group of uncivilized barbarians. The Han Dynasty had large counties with more than 10,000 households and more than 10,000 households had chiefs, and the entire Kuaiji was only Wu County. Compared with the Central Plains, the difference was not a little or two.

But they all ignored one thing intentionally or unintentionally: Kuaiji County has a large number of hidden people. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The descendants of the six kingdoms who fled to Kuaiji when Qin Shihuang swept the world have already recovered their vitality after decades of rest and recuperation. There are a large number of slaves in their manors, but the government does not know it, or they pretend not to know it.

While nearly 10,000 counties with common people as the main body guarding Wu County, these big surnames near Wu County can easily gather 2,000 people. So how many potential troops do the entire Wu County still have?

Judging from Wang Xing's expression, Liang Xiao estimated that it would be fine to double it again. Moreover, with the inheritance of the nobles of the six countries, the quality of these private soldiers should not be bad.

No wonder Xiang Yu was able to lead Jiangdong soldiers to rampant the world, no wonder King Liu Bi of Wu was full of confidence and wanted to steal the emperor. These people were probably part of their confidence.

In the Han Dynasty, two thousand people were often led by the commander or the commander. In other words, this was already a standard configuration for field battles.

Liang Xiao looked at Li Jiao. "Is it okay?"

Li Jiao was eager to try. "No problem."

Liang Xiao was a little worried. Li Jiao may have had experience in commanding troops before, but he certainly had not led so many people. It is one thing to bring dozens of people to guerrilla warfare, and it is another thing to lead a thousand people to fight. The reason why he recommended Li Jiao was because he did not have experience in this area, and only Li Jiao could take on such an important task.

Can he handle it? This is a war, not a hunting.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Li Jiao laughed and said confidently: "When can we see these people? Where can we get supplies, whether there is armor, how to train..."

Li Jiao asked several questions in a row. Not only Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but even Wang Xing felt much more relieved. Li Jiao is an expert. Liang Xiao has also learned military tactics and heard Huan Yuan talk about the precautions for commanding troops. However, those are just talking about military affairs on paper, which is far less realistic than Li Jiao.

Of course, he didn't expect that Li Jiao was just overwhelmed with confidence to a large extent.

After discussing with Wang Xing, Liang Xiao, who was not very relieved, asked Li Jiao: "Have you ever led the army before?"

"No." Li Jiao said without hesitation.

Liang Xiao was shocked and shouted. "I haven't taken the troops. Do you dare to accept the mission?"

"I haven't led the soldiers, and I haven't seen anyone lead the soldiers yet?" Li Jiao laughed and squeezed his eyes. "I took the capital test since I was thirteen, and I went to the battle with my father at the age of fifteen. I have been influenced by the thousands of people. Besides, aren't there any brothers? You can get two hundred by one? I just need to take care of you, why bother with everyone?"

Liang Xiao was speechless. I have to say that Li Jiao was brave enough. However, his idea was also good. In the Han Dynasty, he conducted municipal trials on counties and states every year, and even more so in the northwest. Maybe he had to organize a counterattack against the invading Huns. Li Jiao and others had been in contact with battles since they were young, and there was no problem in leading 200 people to fight. Perhaps only Liang Xiao had problems with the problem.

Seeing that Liang Xiao looked worried, Li Jiao patted Liang Xiao on the shoulder carelessly. "Okay, don't worry. It's very simple. You'll know if you fight a few times. We will all lead troops in the future. If you have the opportunity to practice this time, what's wrong with it? If you can't even deal with these barbarians, how can you fight the Huns in the future?"

"Okay." Liang Xiao nodded helplessly. There was no way to be with these conceited guys. He couldn't keep a low profile either.

As Li Jiao said, when the men heard that there were two thousand people, each of them could command about two hundred people. Not only did they not have any worries, they were excited and wanted to go into battle immediately. Their emotions infected Liang Xiao, and Liang Xiao also put the timidity in his heart aside. Listen to their plans carefully.

The men and women also knew that Liang Xiao was from Guangling. He was still young and had not experienced formal training. He was not like them who regarded hunting as a game since they were young, and had almost zero experience in leading troops to fight. They were all very enthusiastic about teaching him, and some people took the initiative to ask him to accompany him.

Li Jiao pushed them away. "Don't fight, A Xiao follows me and be my Sima. Shu Yun, you can work harder and protect A Xiao with you. Find an opportunity to shoot and kill two generals. It's better than anything else."

Li Shuyun agreed happily.

Wu Qianqiu was very happy to learn that Liang Xiao and others agreed to help. He arranged a sumptuous banquet to promote Liang Xiao and others. At the banquet, Wu Qianqiu introduced some people to Liang Xiao and others. Most of these people, like Wu Qianqiu, have a good family background and strength, but have always been relatively low-key and do not show up in public. Now that their homes are in trouble, they have to stand up at the risk of exposure and unite together.

Commanding troops was more important than a banquet. Li Jiao immediately proposed to see the gathering soldiers and see how strong they were. Wu Qianqiu agreed readily. Before the banquet was over, he led Liang Xiao and his party out of Fuboli.

The two thousand people were stationed on the Songjiang River and divided into several camps, dozens of tents, and a few dozen tents. At the command, these people gathered on the Songjiang River. If you don’t look closely, these people are no different from the locals in Wuyue, but if you look closely, these people still retain the characteristics of many people from the Central Plains.

Liang Xiao estimated that they should have children, that is, descendants born to slaves. From the moment they were born, everything they belonged to their masters. In terms of identity, they were not as good as ordinary people, but in terms of living conditions, they were better than ordinary people. At least they would not face the urging of the government frequently and would not be in danger of bankruptcy. Under the protection of their masters, they lived a relatively stable life.

Li Jiao was very satisfied and immediately divided the work and assigned six Langguans to six strong camps. She was familiar with their original leaders and gathered several weak camps for him to command them personally. In order to ensure Liang Xiao's safety, he arranged ten strong young men to be commanded by Liang Xiao.

After the arrangement was made, Liang Xiao and others moved into their respective camps that day, familiarized themselves with the situation and conducted unified training.

...

During this period, Liang Xiao went to the beach and met Liu Ling who had just arrived by the sea.

When Liang Xiao was asking for a visit, Liu Ling was soaking in the swimming pool. After Liang Xiao's modification, the tower ship removed the upper floor Feilu and converted the cabin into an oversized swimming pool. After Liang Xiao and others left, Liu Ling accepted the tower ship and retained the swimming pool. He only made a slight adjustment to suit her personal use.

Hearing that Liang Xiao was coming. Liu Ling was wearing clothes and asked someone to change clothes. The maids brought a full set of clean clothes and were about to put them on Liu Ling. Liu Ling suddenly turned his eyes and asked the maid to wipe the water from his body, put on a silk dress, and then wrapped it in a sable fur. He came to the main cabin with his naked feet. The charcoal from Yuzhang County was burned in the cabin. The incense was lit, the warmth was melting, and the smoke was curling.

Liu Ling's scalp was wet on his shoulders, his face was not covered with makeup, his face was plain, and his face was a bit blush that had just come out of the bath. Under the slightest smoke, there was a little more fairy spirit and it was not without charm.

Liang Xiao entered the cabin and saw Liu Ling lying on his side with Qiu, he couldn't help but be stunned. He stood in the cabin door and even forgot to report in.

What does this mean? He knew that Han women were open, but this was... too tempting.

"It's rude." Liu Ling sat down sideways and put his naked feet in his fur. His eyes turned, and Yanran smiled and said, "You came without saying hello. I didn't have time to dress up, so I could only see you like this."

"The Master Weng is born with beauty and is beautiful without makeup." Liang Xiao lowered his head, feeling a little itchy and complained. You dress like this. Do I want me to look at it or not? "In fact, in my opinion, the Master Weng who does not wear makeup is more beautiful."

"Is that true?" Liu Ling giggled, trembling with laughter. "You ran from all over the world just to praise me?"

"Of course not, I just couldn't help but praise a few words when I saw the master."

"Hmph!" Liu Ling snorted without comment, not knowing whether she was happy or unhappy. She leaned against several sides, holding her cheek with one hand and twisting the chess piece on the table with the other. "You asked me to come to Kuaiji, but what are the benefits for me?"

"I want to give you a great contribution to Master Weng, I wonder if Master Weng has prepared."

"I only have one building boat, several small boats, what kind of contribution can I make? I heard that there are hundreds of ships in Minyue. I was worried that the achievements were not made and I was captured. Liang Xiao, why don't you protect me? I asked you to command this building boat, and it's yours. How about it?"

Liang Xiao smiled bitterly. "Mr. Weng was joking. Although I grew up by the river and knew a little about water nature, I was not familiar with water wars. I am afraid that I could not command operations. Master Weng, the people of Wu County have gathered together and will find ways to intercept Minyue in Songjiang. If it goes well, those big ships will be stranded in the river, and those who can enter the sea will be small boats. The difference in size is huge. Not only is the safety of Master Weng safe, but he can also bully the small and directly sank them."

"It's great to bully the young with the big one, but I only have one building boat. Is it enough?"

"Will a tiger be timid when facing a flock of sheep?"

"Am I a tiger?" Liu Ling's eyes were flowing, and he seemed to be smiling. "So I am so fierce in your mind, no wonder you always stay away from him."

Liang Xiao smiled awkwardly, with a little heart and a little hot-faced. Can you chat happily? When you talk about serious things, don't always talk about other things? He covered his mouth and coughed seriously. "There is one more thing, I want to ask Master Weng for advice."

Seeing Liang Xiao being embarrassed, Liu Ling became even more proud, his cheeks flushed, and his eyes almost turned into water. After a long time of water, she felt a little cold even though there was charcoal burning in the cabin, so she took a hand and held it in her arms, gently rubbing the shiny furnace body with her slender fingers. "You said."

Liang Xiao then told Yan Zhu about the bad idea he had given.

Liu Ling listened quietly, still smiling on his face, but his eyes became solemn. She glanced at Liang Xiao: "You mean, the court is a tiger, we are sheep, and we are unstoppable, why not float in the sea?"

Liang Xiao nodded. "Mr. Weng, the imperial court was originally appointed as a vassal court, so it must be enfeoffed in a remote and difficult place. When the Huainan was enfeoffed, Guandong was uneven and Huainan Kingdom needed to block the Central Plains. Now even Kuaiji and Danyang have become Han County. Does Huainan Kingdom have any meaning of existence?"

Liu Ling waved his hand and interrupted Liang Xiao's words. She held her cheeks, opened her black and bright eyes, and stared at Liang Xiao.

"Do you think the emperor will agree? Take a step back, even if the emperor agrees, isn't King Jiangdu more suitable for guarding the border guards than my father?"—
