Liu Deng looked embarrassed, and Li Guang's eyes became strange. He said for a long time that he was just a polished commander.
"Don't worry, General Li. The original soldiers of Dai State are really old, weak, sick and disabled. There are all kinds of people. I am determined to build a new army. General Li will be the general. I will never buy the silver ordnance needed." Vaguely, all soldiers are recruited from good families, I wonder what General Li thinks?"
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Li Guang's face looked much better. If he really wanted to talk about it, instead of asking for those old veterans, it would be better for him to retrain an army himself. After all, those good family members would not be like those old veterans.
Although their combat effectiveness may be slightly different in a short period of time, as long as they practice well over time, they will definitely become an iron army.
After all, this big man has never lacked iron-blooded men, he only lacks iron-blooded officials!
"Li Guang obeys your order!"
Seeing Li Guang's next errand, Liu Deng was also very happy. His life was finally protected. With this flying general to protect him, he would probably be able to live a much more comfortable life in the future.
The Seven Kingdoms Rebellion has only been around for a few years, and Liu Deng doesn't know how things will turn out because of his arrival.
It turns out that Dai Guo did not participate in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion at all. Neither the imperial court nor the Seven Kingdoms looked down upon this poor and weak country at all, but it is different now.
He was about to cut off Liu Bi's financial path. That old guy would be a ghost if he didn't fight with him.
If that old guy really brings troops to fight, it will be embarrassing if he can't stop it.
You know, during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion at that time, hundreds of thousands of people died under Suiyang City in the Liang Kingdom.
Even the concubine of Liang Wang Liu Wu at that time had personally led troops to the city to kill the enemy. It can be seen how tragic the battle situation was at that time, and Liu Deng did not want that to happen. Repeat it again under Jinyang City.
"I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that the general has brought 500 soldiers. They are all brothers who have followed the general for many years. This time, under the order of His Highness, the general came to serve the king with the general!"
Hearing what Li Guang said, Liu Deng was immediately overjoyed. If he wanted to train a team of new recruits from scratch, it would probably take only two or three years.
But if there are five hundred veterans as a support, then the training thing will pick up quickly.
"These five hundred brothers will serve as the first batch of soldiers under the general's command. Starting today, all military pay will be doubled. The first batch of officers will be selected from among them. All personnel arrangements will be handed over to the general. I don’t ask any questions, I don’t know how long it will take for the general to train them into an army!”
This is Liu Deng's first test for this flying general, to see if this great master is as awesome as the history books say.
"King Qi, if we have these five hundred brothers, I will be confident that we can train them into an army within one year, and make them a famous and powerful army in the world within two years!"
Liu Deng was overjoyed when he heard what Li Guang said.
"Little Dudu, is the mansion prepared for General Li ready?"
Since we have dug people all the way here, of course we have to prepare for the basic necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
For such a world-famous general, it is impossible to retain him simply by relying on the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers. If the time comes, the emperor will reach out and poach him for himself, and Liu Deng will have no place to cry.
Therefore, you have to rely on affection for such an outstanding person. As long as the affection is in place, even if the emperor comes to poach him, it will not work.
After all, this strong-willed melon is not sweet. The emperor gives an order and if someone is unwilling to go, there is nothing he can do about it, right?
"Your Majesty, Li Guang is just a minor official of the fifth rank. He really cannot afford to be rewarded so generously by your Majesty..."
Li Guang is really a little embarrassed. He is a small official from the fifth rank, how can he be qualified to live in an official residence...
"General Li misunderstood. What I gave you is not an official residence. This is a private residence I gave you! From now on, it's all about food, clothing, housing and transportation. General Li doesn't need to worry about it. Even if you have a son or grandson in the future, I will cover all the expenses for their prostitution!"
Liu Deng said very grandly.
What he said was true. Although Li Guang's son Li Gan was a coward, his grandson Li Ling was a world-famous general!
He led 5,000 infantrymen and fought thousands of miles on the grassland. He killed the Huns who cried for their fathers and mothers. The Huns surrounded them with all the troops in the country, but in the end they were defeated by him. If it weren't for the traitor who appeared in the end, I'm afraid he still would have been defeated. Able to carve out a bloody path smoothly!
If such a fierce man could stay by his side, who would dare to show his teeth to him in the future?
"Well……"
Li Guang was confused for a moment. His son was only three years old now. What could he say about his son and grandson visiting prostitutes...
"General Li must be tired. Take General Li down to rest. The 500 brothers brought by General Li will be placed in the military camp outside the city first. The recruitment of soldiers will begin immediately after General Li has settled down! "
Liu Deng would not give Li Guang a chance to refuse now. Such a fierce man must be caught in his own hands.
Seeing the king's high regard, Li Guang was deeply moved and actually had tears in his eyes.
"The king trusts you so much, which makes Li Guang feel ashamed. He doesn't know how to repay the king for such kindness..."
Seeing that Li Guang was about to cry, Liu Deng hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up.
"General Li is so polite. As long as you can train your troops well, it will be the greatest reward for me!"
This ancient man was full of emotions, so where did he go? He just fooled him a few words and gave him a little benefit, and he was already so moved. If he was allowed to experience the brainwashing teachings of later generations, he would not even be able to mention the knife. Go ahead and kill someone.
"No! If we can't bring a world-famous iron army to your Majesty within two years, Li Guang is willing to raise his head to see you!"
After Li Guang finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily three times before getting up and leaving.
Watching Li Guangyuan's retreating figure, Liu Deng felt indescribably proud. With just a little trick, he had already captured a powerful general in the world, but he didn't know when his grandson would be born?
But after dealing with Li Guang's affairs, the remaining things will be easier to handle. It is said that the silver shipped from Guangling is almost here...
"Come here, tell me the news. The Huns are coming soon. In order to prevent the Huns from causing trouble, from now on, the city gates will be closed and all business travel will be suspended. No one can go in or out without waiting! Especially in the direction of Guangling. Yes, whoever dares to put a fly in for me, I want him to look good!"
"promise!"
Watching the soldiers with the battle order leave, a sly smile appeared on Liu Deng's lips, Liu Xian, ah, Liu Xian, don't blame me for being too harsh. Who told your crooked father to cuckold me? Where is the son?
