Li Hao stopped paying attention to the situation on the Cheng family's side. He had already reminded it anyway, and the rest was up to Cheng Shaoshang's fate.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she was the heroine, and Li Hao was not sure whether she would be a time traveler like in the original work, and wanted to form a good relationship first, otherwise Li Hao would not have interfered with this matter.
Now Li Hao's attention has returned to his own army. Although Yuan Pei is not here now, he cannot arrange the organization, armor, bows and crossbows for Li Hao for a while.
But Li Hao was not one to sit still and wait for death. Since no one had arranged it, Li Hao simply found someone to borrow it himself.
Anyway, it is just for training in the camp and will not be taken out. And even with Li Hao's identity, there is no need to worry about any problems.
So after some preparations, Li Hao mobilized 300 crossbows and 400 pieces of armor from the Yuan family's tribes and vassals, plus 200 crossbows and corresponding armors borrowed by Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi. .
Some tribes were reorganized and equipped with crossbows and armors to start training, while others continued to conduct ordinary training, rotating every six days, allowing all tribes to participate in batches.
A month later, Yuan Pei finally returned from Xiapi. By this time, Li Hao's subordinates had already gone through all the training rounds, and they were all in the second round.
Of course, there is nothing to say about the armor experience. After all, this group of people was raised by Li Hao to be strong and strong. Most of them can walk like flying in armor, which is much better than the average soldiers in the camp.
As for the crossbow, it's not that good. There is no problem with normal use, but there is no big guarantee in terms of accuracy.
This is because the crossbow is used, which is simple to operate and uses direct fire to attack. If it were to be a bow and used projectile attack, then I am afraid that I really won't be able to practice anything in this month.
As for Li Hao himself, he doesn't need any special training. After all, it's not that the Yuan family doesn't have these things, it's just that they can't take them out openly.
As Li Hao, he could practice on his own with a set of armor and a crossbow, which was certainly not a problem. Even if he was stabbed in Emperor Wen's ears, Li Hao would not worry about being punished.
Therefore, during this period of time, Li Hao had quite a lot of free time except for watching the training of the unit. He also took the time to receive Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi's invitation in return.
During these exchanges, Li Hao, Wan Songbai, and Cheng Shi also intentionally shortened the distance, so the relationship seemed to be getting closer and closer.
It's just that the cooking skills of these two families are not very good, and the food they cook is really lackluster, which is not very popular with Li Hao.
Li Hao was not the only one who held this opinion. People from the Wan and Cheng families also thought so. For a period of time, whenever it was time for dinner, Cheng Shi and Wan Songbai would rush to Li Hao's camp on time. I want to accompany Li Hao to eat together.
Moreover, it was not enough to eat alone. He also brought a food box with him. He said that after eating at Li Hao's house that day, his wife and children at home were still thinking about it, so he wanted to bring some back for them to try.
In fact, if it was just like this, Li Hao didn't care. It would be a waste to throw away the unfinished food anyway, but Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi were just throwing it away.
At first, he just packed up the uneaten food and took it away, but later it evolved into putting away the food on his table before eating, and then stared at Li Hao as he ate.
Li Hao couldn't bear it, so he asked: "What are you two generals doing? Why don't you eat?"
As soon as he heard this, Wan Songbai immediately said: "Hey, my daughter is suffering. She has been fighting with me everywhere since she was a child. She has lived in the open and never had anything good to eat.
Ever since she ate such delicious food at Yuan Mansion that day, she has been thinking about it day and night, and I feel very sad when I see it.
Fortunately, Mr. Yuan didn't mind it and invited me to eat with him every day, so that I could bring some back for her to taste from time to time. "
Cheng Shi also answered from the side: "Yes, my family only has three sons, and it is appropriate for the men to live a rough life.
But my wife, a daughter, and a baby girl are also suffering so much, and I feel really sad when I see them. "
Hearing this, Li Hao was speechless. I invited you two here. You came uninvited, okay?
And how do you want me to respond to your words? Could it be that I also feel sorry for my wife, Wan Qi? But she and I are similar in age. If you really say that, don’t cause misunderstanding.
Although Li Hao didn't mind marrying Wan's wife, Li Hao couldn't stand the Wan family's rules of letting people marry into the family.
Even if he adopts the wife to Wan's family first and then takes Wan's wife into the house as in the original work, Li Hao can't do it.
Because this is not only Li Hao's own problem, but also involves the Yuan family. No matter how enlightened Yuan Pei and Liang are, they will not agree to what Li Hao does.
Unless Li Hao has the ability to let Wan Songbai give birth to a son, then Wan Qiu's wife may be able to marry outside, but it is obvious that Li Hao does not have this ability.
So Li Hao simply didn't say a word and just looked at the two people in front of him to see what they were trying to do.
Of course Wan Songbai didn't expect that Li Hao would have so many twists and turns in his mind in just a moment.
Just looking at Li Hao who is now quiet, I feel that the atmosphere is a bit awkward, but fortunately these two people are naturally thick-skinned.
Wan Songbai simply continued: "Yeah, it's a pity that I don't bring much back every time. My wife is filial, so most of them are left for her mother to eat, while she eats rough meals on the side and barely swallows.
Now that I see this exquisite meal, how can I eat it? I should take it all back so that my wife can eat more. "
Cheng Shi felt deeply at this time and said: "My wife is so sensible. It just so happens that the boys in my family can eat some coarse food. I will leave two plates back for Yuan Yi, and you can take the rest back to my wife." wife."
After saying that, the food was brought out from the lunch box, and Wan Songbai naturally refused, so the two of them declined and gave in in front of Li Hao, making Li Hao look funny for a while.
】
"It's only today that we are giving in like this. It's not a long-term solution." After Wan Songbai said this, he saw that Li Hao was still sitting aside and did not say anything. He thought that these people from aristocratic families have many ambitions and it is not easy to fool them.
So I had no choice but to go to Li Hao and say, "The main reason why Mr. Yuan is so amused is because our family is a little ignorant and we really haven't eaten anything good. Your chef has been working hard these days.
Originally, I shouldn't have made too many demands, but I really felt sorry for my daughter, so I wanted to ask the chef to cook more dishes in the future. Of course, I will bear all the expenses. "
In the middle of saying this, Li Hao knew what the two men were doing when they sang and harmonized. It was just to ask Li Hao to provide food for the two families. This was a big deal.
Li Haoxin said if you want this, just tell me. Not only can I ask the chef to cook more, I can even hand over the skills directly to you.
Anyway, Li Hao has no intention of making money from the wine shop, and there is no problem of spreading his cooking skills to other people, so why bother to set himself up for this.
So Li Hao thought that he would have to go around with them and trick them.
Then he said: "So that's what General Wan meant. What should I take it to be? It's no problem. There's no need for General Wan to pay anything. If you tell me, people will laugh and think that my Yuan family can't even entertain guests."
It's just that this is not Jiaodong. I only brought a few chefs with me. After all, my energy is limited. It's okay to cook more occasionally, but in the long run I'm afraid I won't be able to cook enough food for three families. "
Hearing this, Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi were stunned. They didn't think what Li Hao said was wrong. After all, according to common sense, there was no need for Li Hao to bring so many cooks.
As for asking Li Hao to send people to Jiaodong to mobilize people, neither of them thought about it. It would be too overwhelming and unnecessary.
So Wan Songbai turned his head and dismissed Cheng Shi, saying: "It's okay. Cheng Xian's family is full of sons and daughters, who are used to hardship. I will give her two plates every day and let him take it back to Di." Just be a woman."
Cheng Shi never expected that after covering for Wan Songbai for a long time, he would be betrayed in the blink of an eye. For a moment, he looked at Wan Songbai with angry eyes and was very angry.
But no matter what Cheng Shi thought, Wan Songbai was very calm anyway, smiling when he faced Cheng Shi, and then thanked Li Hao very much, which made Cheng Shi helpless with this shamelessness.
Unexpectedly, Li Hao said at this time: "General Wan misunderstood, that's not what I meant. What I want to say is that since my chef can't do it, it's better to let the chefs from your two families come to my house to try it. This way There are too many.
Moreover, you can also learn the craftsmanship along the way. When the two generals go to other places in the future, they can also eat these good things. What do you think? "
After hearing this, Cheng Shi was happy, but he still said: "It would be best if we could do this. But if this chef's skill is passed down from family, I'm afraid he may not be willing to pass it on to others. We can't force others to do it."
Li Hao replied: "Don't worry, General Cheng. This craft is not unique to one family. It was developed when I had nothing to do in Jiaodong and found many chefs to study it together.
There are already a lot of people who know how to do it, so it doesn’t hurt to teach some. You just need to send people over. "
Seeing what Li Hao said, Cheng Shi felt relieved and directly agreed to the matter, saying that he would send the chef from the mansion today. Wan Songbai said the same thing afterwards.
Since they agreed, the two of them were satisfied, but Li Hao suddenly asked: "In that case, can you two have a meal? Anyway, I believe that the wives and children of the two generals will not skip this meal, so that's not okay. .”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Then Cheng Shi said, "That's true. Let's eat first and bring them fresh ones in the evening."
Anyway, during this period of time, with both parties consciously getting closer, the relationship has become increasingly close.
After Yuan Pei came back, Li Hao explained these things to him. After all, Yuan Pei would deal with these two people for a long time in the future, so he could adjust his way of getting along in time.
In addition, Li Hao happened to ask Yuan Pei for a fight. After all, almost two months had passed and Li Hao would have to take his people back if he didn't fight.
It's just that Yuan Pei was a little worried about Li Hao going into battle alone, even though Li Hao had led his troops to deal with bandits once in Jiaodong.
But he was a defeated general and had no foundation in Jiaodong, so he was naturally easy to handle.
But these rebels in Xuzhou are different. Many of them have been entrenched in one place for several years. They have complex local relationships and understand the terrain, making them extremely difficult to eradicate.
Otherwise, we would not have been able to eliminate the rebels even after several years of fighting.
Yuan Pei would be able to accept the loss of just a few pieces. He was just worried that Li Hao was young and energetic, so he wouldn't be trapped in it.
Just as Li Hao was talking about Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi, Yuan Pei wanted to go with them. After all, Yuan Pei knew to some extent what these two people were capable of, and they happened to be familiar with his own son, so it was just right. Candidate.
Of course, Yuan Pei had no intention of directly ordering the two of them to assist Li Hao. After all, they had to let them be willing.
Otherwise, if these two people give up their ideas midway, it will put Li Hao in danger. Although he can deal with these two people at that time, he will lose money after all.
So Yuan Pei deliberately found a time to find the two of them, explained the matter to them, and asked them for their opinions.
Cheng Shi and Wan Songbai had a good impression of Li Hao, and judging from the location of the thieves Yuan Pei picked this time, it was not a dangerous place. It is estimated that if they had not been deliberately kept, they would have been easily solved long ago. .
Since there is no danger in the attack, the two of them are naturally willing to accompany them. After all, they can get some credit for nothing and sell favors to the Yuan family. Why not do it.
Seeing that the two agreed, Yuan Peicai found Li Hao again and said that he agreed that Li Hao would lead his troops to send troops to suppress the bandits, but he would go with Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi.
Li Hao understood this. Anyway, the purpose was just training, as long as they could go into battle to kill the enemy.
To be honest, Li Hao himself really didn't take this group of thieves seriously. After all, there were only a few people on both sides. Originally, Li Hao had commanded hundreds of thousands of battle formations in the Song Dynasty. Such small scenes , Li Hao was happy to sit on the sidelines and handed over the command to Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi.
Seeing that Li Hao agreed so quickly, Yuan Pei was still a little suspicious, maybe Li Hao was planning to do something wrong.
After all, Yuan Pei has seen all the things that Li Hao has done over the years, and he doesn't seem to be such an obedient master.
However, in front of Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi, Yuan Pei did not say anything. Instead, he waited until the two left and then said to Li Hao: "I know you have a plan in mind, but after all, you don't really I have been on the battlefield, so this time I should gain experience first.
Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi have been fighting hard on the battlefield for many years. This time you can just learn from them. Once you are familiar with them, you can lead the troops on your own.
But if something happens to you this time, then you can't expect to have the opportunity to lead troops in the future, do you understand? "
Li Hao replied with a sincere face: "Father, don't worry, I won't do anything random."
Seeing Li Hao's obedient face, Yuan Pei became even more worried, but he didn't say anything and just asked Li Hao to go down and prepare.
But deep down in his heart, he planned to send another branch of the Yuan family to follow behind. If Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi didn't notice, someone could still go out to save people.
