Chapter 132: First Arrival in Liaodong (2)
"Who doesn't know how to talk nonsense? If you have the skills, go and practice with the Tatars with real swords and guns!"
Since Wang Bing and others did not avoid these Liaodong troops when they said these words, when they heard that they were said so badly by a group of young men, these Liaodong troops gave up. However, in view of the fact that Wang Bing and others
As imperial envoys patrolling the border, these people just held back and did not take action.
"Hey, aren't they just Tatars? It's not like I haven't fought with them before! Didn't you see those heads that the young man brought with him when he came?"
Seeing that these Liaodong troops were still not convinced, all the Yu Lins suddenly made disdainful noises.
"Who knows where those heads came from, and they have the ability to compete with our selection of strikers!"
Hearing the display of the Yulin Guards, the Liaodong Army, who were still a little unconvinced, couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
The so-called "Selected Front Army", hence the name, is composed of the most elite and brave men selected from the entire army to serve as the vanguard of the entire army. Since Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, troops named "Selected Front" have been used in various fields.
They are found in all the armies of the DPRK.
The selected forward army of the Liaodong Army was personally selected and trained by Li Chengliang from the Liaodong Army. It can be regarded as the most elite army in the Liaodong Army. Its status is equivalent to that of the Qi Family Army in the Jizhou Army.
It is the trump card that Li Chengliang relies on the most.
It's a pity that unlike the Qi family army, which has maintained strong combat power from beginning to end, this is the most powerful ace army in Li Chengliang's hands. In the original history, it also lost its initial combat power due to the corruption of Li Chengliang in his later period, and soon became
Declined.
"What's wrong with the vanguard selection army? We are still the emperor's personal army! How about it, Lao Li, when we get to Liaodong Town, how about we practice with your grandfather's vanguard selection army? Hehe!"
Facing the unconvinced Liaodong Army, Qi Panzong and others laughed and started to encourage Li Zongzhu.
"What's wrong with this? Speaking of which, I also want to know, compared with my grandfather's vanguard selection army, who are better, or are our Habayashi Guards stronger? Hehe!"
To the surprise of Qi Panzong and others, his joke received strong approval from Li Zunzu.
"Haha, old Qi, don't underestimate Li Shuai's selection of the vanguard. Maybe we are really no match for him!"
Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Wang Bing couldn't help but laugh.
You must know that although the combat power of Li Chengliang's front-selected army dropped sharply in the later period, it was at its peak at this time. Especially in terms of melee combat, it can be said that it was very brave.
Although Wang Bing and his group, the Yulin Guards, are not bad at close combat, first of all, the Yulin Guards' strength lies in their firearms. Secondly, they are too young and lack strength, so they are still at a disadvantage in close combat.
"Third brother, how can you embody other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? You have to compete to know whether this is possible..."
…
"Li Dequan, the Yu Yao Guard sent by His Majesty to patrol the border has arrived in Jinzhou. You can lead a team of troops to greet him on my behalf!"
While Qi Panzong and others were still clamoring to compete with Li Chengliang's selected front army, in the Liaodong Town General Military Mansion located in Dongningwei, Liaodong General Li Chengliang, who was in his fifties, was asking a young man
A middle-aged general in his thirties opened his mouth and gave instructions.
"Yes, sir!"
Needless to say, just by hearing the title of the middle-aged general Li Chengliang, you can know that this Li Dequan, like the guard general of Jinzhou City, was also a servant of Li Chengliang.
"Wait a minute, you lead a group of vanguard troops and let the Emperor's troops see the majesty of our Liaodong Army!"
Just when this middle-aged general who was born in Li Chengliang's family was about to turn around and leave, Li Chengliang suddenly stopped him again and asked him to lead a group of the most elite and brave front-selected troops of the Liaodong Army to meet the Yulin Guards.
"Master, please don't forget that Young Master Sun is also in the Yulin Guards. I'm afraid people have already known our reputation for selecting the vanguard. If I want to intimidate them, my efforts will be in vain, hehe!"
Hearing that Li Chengliang asked him to lead the vanguard to meet the imperial envoy patrolling the border, this middle-aged general who had the same name as the famous "father-in-law" in later movies and TV dramas couldn't help but chuckle.
"You brat, sir, I just want the imperial envoy to feel the power of our Liaodong Army. What nonsense are you talking about!"
After laughing and scolding Li Dequan, Li Chengliang immediately waved his hand and drove the middle-aged general out.
"Border patrol? Haha, how can a group of half-grown men patrol the border!"
After Li Dequan left, the short and stocky Liaodong commander-in-chief murmured to himself in a low voice with some disdain.
…
"Where is General Li going in such a hurry?"
Just when Li Dequan had just received the order and left the gate of the General Military Mansion, and was about to go to select people for the front army, a bald young man with a pigtail as thick as a rat tail greeted him very enthusiastically.
.
"Haha, the commander asked me to meet the imperial envoy on the border patrol. What do you think, slave, are you interested in going out with me for a walk?"
Seeing this bald young man, Li Dequan also smiled and said hello. It seemed that the two of them were very familiar with each other.
"Well, hehe, I would like to thank General Li!"
Hearing what Li Dequan called him, the bald young man with a rat's tail behind his head couldn't help but jump slightly, but then his expression immediately changed, and he followed Li Dequan to pick the front.
and left for the army camp.
"General Li, who is this imperial envoy on the border and who is a big shot in the imperial court? The commander-in-chief actually wants the front-selected army to greet him?"
You must know that the Selected Front Army is the most elite and brave army in the Liaodong Army. In the past, no matter how high-ranking officials came to the court, Li Chengliang had never seen Li Chengliang send out the Selected Front Army to serve as a welcoming team. Therefore, regarding Li Chengliang's actions this time, this
The bald young man couldn't help but be curious.
"Haha, these are the Yulin Guards trained by His Majesty himself, the most pro-army among pro-armies!"
"So it means that Emperor Tianming came to Liaodong in person?"
Hearing Li Dequan say that Yu Linwei was a personal soldier trained by the emperor himself, the bald young man couldn't help but look surprised.
"Haha, a slave is a slave. If His Majesty the Emperor were to come to Liaodong in person, the commander-in-chief would have already greeted him in person. How could it be my turn to greet him as a small member of a thousand households?"
Seeing the surprised look on the bald young man's face, Li Dequan couldn't help but laugh slightly mockingly, then turned his head and continued to move forward.
"Hey, slaves are just barbarians, how can they know so much!"
Hearing Li Dequan's slightly sarcastic laughter and the words he called slave, the bald young man who called himself a slave was smiling all over his face, but at the same time, there was an imperceptible hint of uneasiness in his eyes from time to time.
