Chapter 57
Still have to enter the game
When he returned to the yard to bask in the sun, Li Ping, who felt a little more comfortable, finally picked up his mood and asked if there was anything he needed to report.
Seeing that Li Ping's mood and complexion were getting better, Liu Xiaohui immediately asked in a low voice if he could prepare some decoction. After Li Ping thought for a moment, he agreed. The smell of traditional Chinese medicine that had been permeating the yard made him very clear that he had not had any medicine these days.
Don't be fed less.
Then, Li Ping learned from the silly Liu San that Shi Ming, Wang Chengwu and Li Shengcai had all been here in the morning, as had Zuo Mengeng's soldiers and Madam Zuo's maid, especially Madam Zuo's maid.
He asked me carefully for a long time before leaving.
As for the other things, a few soldiers either didn't know much about them, or Li Ping already knew about them from everyone's mouths in the early morning.
The decoction was also prepared quickly, and it must have been simmering all the time.
When Li Ping began to drink the unpalatable Chinese medicine in great pain, Shi Ming and Wang Chengwu came together. They all smiled happily when they saw Li Ping grinning.
For them, Li Ping would not turn them away no matter how bad his mood was. Instead, he would greet them with a smile, which forced him to adjust his state faster.
Despite his initial concern, Shi Ming soon began to seriously talk about the changes that Li Ping's great achievement had brought to everyone. They had truly taken root in Zuo Liangyu's army, and those who had not taken them seriously before
Many of the soldiers and generals who were involved suddenly became polite.
"Real status is achieved through hard work. Li Ping, you have given everyone a good start." This once half-black and half-white figure concluded, his words full of affirmation and envy.
After Li Ping heard this, he sincerely thanked Wang Chengwu.
If he hadn't had the fighting training and learning from Wang Chengwu during this period, he would have been completely cold this time. After all, in the past world, Li Ping did not receive similar training seriously, and he had no use for it.
His ability to fight or fight is very ordinary.
Wang Chengwu was embarrassed and said straight away: "It's because you work so hard... They are all brothers, they are too outsider... The main thing is to rely on your own ability...".
Regarding these two people, Li Ping did not hide his secrets. He gave a very serious and rough summary of his simple opinions on the formation and martial arts of both sides in this confrontation. It is estimated that this is also the issue that Shi Ming is most concerned about.
"The enemy general's plans are bold and clever, and his tactical arrangements have many merits, but he overestimates himself and sets too high a goal. The organizational capabilities of his troops are actually weak, and their training level is also very low, making it difficult to support the implementation of complex tactical arrangements.
.When carrying out complex combat operations, it is more than enough to encounter a weak enemy, but if the opponent implements an effective organization, it will be hindered. It is better to divide the troops into many places than to gather them in one place to ensure absolute advantage."
"The so-called elites of the Left Army, that is, the troops of General Ma Ba, are well equipped. This can also be seen from their strong marching ability that they have a certain level of organization and training, and their abilities are actually significantly stronger than those who dare to
The bandits who attacked them were armed. But their tactical training level should be very poor. At least I didn't see an effective tactical organization. The most important thing is that the entire army has no fighting will. After encountering the enemy, its command system was the first to collapse.
of."
"Enemy soldiers basically don't have fighting skills, and close combat relies entirely on instinct. As for whether the soldiers in the horse army are good at fighting skills, I haven't seen it, so it's hard to evaluate. But they probably don't have much skills at all!"
…
These are Li Ping's initial impressions of the enemy and ourselves in this battle. Most of them are just thoughts. He has not yet thought about more and deeper things.
Shi Ming asked some more specific details of the battle, and Li Ping also told them everything.
"The soldiers under the command of Ma Commander were all selected. At least half of them came from Fang Guoan's other battalions. Their armors were also collected from the entire Fang Guoan army. Otherwise, everyone would have armor and they would be so neat.
, everyone is good at walking, even Zuo Liangyu's personal guards can't do it!" After listening to Li Ping's account, Shi Ming revealed a "big news."
"Ah! Is the news accurate?" Li Ping was completely stunned.
"Exactly. This is not a secret. Even this news was deliberately spread after you set off, probably because you wanted to invite Zuo Liangyu. Otherwise, wouldn't it be true that Fang Guoan's troops can achieve such a level of equipment?
It’s going to take over the host.”
"I'll go!" Many doubts in Li Ping's mind were instantly solved.
In particular, the seemingly elite troops of Ma Ba were so abnormal that they collapsed, which made Li Ping very puzzled. The temporary formation of the troops was severely lacking in training and failed to collapse when encountering a strong enemy.
Those who think that a qualified army can be trained in three months do not understand military affairs. It will take at least a year for an army composed mostly of recruits to be basically formed into an army. Three months can only be said to have completed the training of recruits.
.History has never seen a strong army achieve qualitative transformation from zero in a few months.
Zuo Liangyu and Fang Guoan's troops didn't pay much attention to basic training. They were competing against the enemy rather than being strong, and the side that was unorganized or poorly organized would naturally be worse off.
Then, Shi Ming talked seriously about Zuo Liangyu's deputy general Jin Shengheng and Jin Shengheng's cavalry.
In the process of supporting Li Ping, Shi Ming witnessed Jin Shengheng's bravery and ferocity, and witnessed the aggressiveness of Jin Shengheng's cavalry troops. Jin Shengheng left a deep impression on Shi Ming.
Among the cavalrymen who went to so many battalions, Jin Shengheng had the smallest number of troops, but he was the first to track down the enemy and quickly defeated them or even wiped them out. It was hard not to impress people.
Now that we are talking about Jin Shengheng, Li Ping, who is only half a history buff at best, really has some memories. Otherwise, when he was wandering around Xiangyang City, he would not have gone to the military training field outside the city to check on Jin Shengheng.
Because this person appears quite frequently in many novels and historical records, to be polite, the evaluation should be mixed.
Therefore, Li Ping tried his best to recall and told everything he could think of without reservation.
Jin Shenghuan, whose nickname is Hufu, is from Yulin, Shaanxi Province. He was originally a bandit. He was nicknamed "Yidousu" in the green forest. Because of his outstanding personal ability, he has been trusted by Zuo Liangyu since he was recruited. Now Zuo Liang
One of the lieutenants that Yu relies on most. These are the basic facts that everyone knows.
In addition, what can probably be remembered about Li Ping in history is that he did have high military talent and was relatively capable of controlling troops and fighting wars.
In my impression, Jin Shenghuan should have surrendered to the Qing army, but later he seemed to have rebelled because he was not satisfied with the treatment given to him by the Qing army. He almost single-handedly took over Jiangxi, which was already controlled by the Qing army, and finally
He died in battle while resisting the Qing army. Therefore, most of his descendants have mixed praise and criticism.
To put it simply, he is very capable, lacks integrity, does not have a big vision, and is not very trustworthy.
After listening to Li Ping's vague memories, Shi Ming pondered for a while, and then decisively said, "Keep a respectful distance!" Wang Chengwu couldn't help but nod after hearing this.
Just when they were about to say something more, Zuo Mengeng's soldiers who had been here in the morning came again. Seeing that Li Ping was sitting in the yard chatting with people in a good mood, the two soldiers quickly came up to congratulate and bless him.
They also said that after learning that Li Ping had regained consciousness, they were ordered by the deputy commander to make a special trip to investigate Li Ping's injury.
After Li Ping heard this, he stood up and walked twice to show his physical condition. The two soldiers didn't wait much after seeing this, and after a few polite words, they hurried back to resume their duties.
Li Ping also noticed in particular that these two visitors called Zuo Mengeng "deputy commander".
Everyone calls Zuo Menggeng the deputy general, which is more of an honorific title. In fact, Zuo Menggeng himself controls very few troops, mainly relying on his father. And deputy generals like Jin Shenghuan are actually deputy commander-in-chief, and many of them are
The prestigious leaders of the peasant army that Zuo Liangyu recruited and surrendered were awarded the position of deputy commander-in-chief and continued to lead their troops alone. They were just called deputy generals by convention.
Therefore, Zuo Menggen's lieutenant is different from other lieutenants.
Before Zuo Liangyu's title of "General of the Thieves" was removed, some people even called Zuo Mengeng the deputy commander, but no other general would be called the deputy commander, and the deputy commander's name could only be Zuo Meng
Geng’s exclusive.
There is nothing wrong with calling him deputy marshal instead of young marshal.
Young Marshal was never a good name in the past, it was just a nickname used to amuse children. When Zhang Xueliang was called Young Marshal, it was actually a contemptuous term, similar to "Ya Nei", and it was only a private discussion behind his back.
, but no one dares to shout it in front of Zhang Xueliang. This cannot be misled by the random usage in movies and TV series.
These two soldiers around Zuo Menggeng did not shy away from calling Zuo Menggeng deputy commander after Zuo Liangyu was demoted back to the commander-in-chief. This at least shows that Zuo Menggeng himself had no objection.
Li Ping told Shi Ming and Wang Chengwu about this unexpected detail. Shi Ming immediately became thoughtful and quickly gave Li Ping a thumbs up.
.
Because they had been chatting for a long time, Shi Ming and Wang Chengwu also knew that it would be inconvenient to disturb them too much, so they told Li Ping to rest more and just say hello if there was anything useful before leaving.
After they left, Li Ping also went back to the room to lie down and rest, but his brain started to work again. He couldn't help but think about it through the aftertaste of the chat with Shi Ming and others. Many issues had to be thought about carefully.
Since life has to go on, thinking cannot stop.
It wasn't until dinner that Li Ping stopped thinking in bed and walked out of the room. For a long time, he lay in the back room, and no one dared to disturb him, which made him think about a lot of things.
The food for dinner was much richer and was delivered in food boxes. Although it was still mainly soft and less oily, the taste was quite good. After asking, I found out that this meal was made by a special chef.
Li Ping thought for a while, and accepted this behavior of opening a small stove. He was really a little greedy. He was really a little greedy to eat with everyone every day, which was good for others but too simple for him.
Enough is enough. In my current state, no one can say anything about enjoying some privileges.
Just after finishing the meal, Gao Lei came again, but this time she came by herself, and Zhao Lanyue did not follow.
Gao Lei came to check on Li Ping's injury. She specially asked Liu Xiaohui to come into the house to check. Li Ping also realized that he didn't seem to have any secrets in front of Liu Xiaohui, but Li Ping didn't have many secrets this time.
think.
Gao Lei did not do it herself this time, but guided Liu Xiaohui to open the bandage step by step, explaining various conditions of the wound and various precautions when bandaging. This was obviously a rhythm in which Liu Xiaohui was completely entrusted with post-care.
However, Li Ping had not completely withdrawn from his thoughts before dinner for a while, and with Gao Lei's endless explanation there, Li Ping became a little distracted again and entered his own thoughts.
This kind of close and intimate contact made him unaware that his eyes fell on the more prominent parts of Liu Xiaohui's body and on her neck. Li Ping was sitting, and she was bent over.
At such a close distance, it would indeed be difficult for Li Ping to avoid it unless he deliberately avoided it.
In particular, Liu Xiaohui seems to have learned from Gao Lei and Zhao Lanyue that the chest is liberated. It is no longer flat and the scenery is highlighted, which makes it easier for people to misunderstand.
Women, on the other hand, are naturally sensitive and impulsive.
Gao Lei inadvertently noticed where Li Ping's eyes were, and she instantly felt a sense of anger. Then, she violently pulled away Liu Xiaohui, who was bandaging Li Ping's waist, and snatched away Liu Xiaohui, who was completely confused.
Liu Xiaohui, who was on board, used the cotton cloth in her hands to bandage Li Ping herself.
At the same time, he said angrily: "Be honest and stop looking around."
Li Ping was also completely stunned, and Liu Xiaohui didn't even dare to say a word, just standing there with a red face.
Looking at Li Ping's innocent and confused expression, Gao Lei quickly realized her abruptness, especially when she bent down to look at Li Ping, and realized that she might have really misunderstood.
Her face was a little red, but she had no choice but to pretend that nothing was wrong.
While women don’t speak, men must not think that they have won, because men never win and should not win.
In the awkward atmosphere, Gao Lei finally finished the final bandaging with a blushing face, then touched the back of Li Ping's head and said: "The wound is in good condition. There should be no problems. Pay more attention to rest."
." Then he turned and left, and Liu Xiaohui, who was still blushing, also ran out.
Li Ping hurriedly said "thank you" to the backs of the two of them with a wry smile, and then he was silently meditating for a long time.
When it was getting dark, Li Ping walked out of the house and asked the stupid Liu San to find Duan Qiang, Ma Yong and Hu Zhongshan. He had to get into a rhythm, and many things could not be delayed.
