The news brought back by Cao Fei is very important, Fu Qiao and Jia Zhen are here.

Xin Er looked at Fu Qiao, tried his best to restrain his emotions, and said in his heart: "It's done!" ”

Fu Qiao's city mansion is not deep, revealing joy.

Linghu Feng saw the strangeness of the two of them, sent the little rate who reported the news out, and asked, "Ah Gua, old man, what are you two doing with your eyebrows?" Bald Lian Jue's religious departure from the camp has something to do with the two of you? ”

There were no outsiders in the tent, and Xin Er told the truth at the moment.

Linghu Fengqi said: "You actually came up with this method to restrain Hu Mu, not bad, not bad." Make. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Xin Er said: "Little foolish, how dare you be praised by the Lord." After the appointment that day, the minister was only afraid that he would not be able to share the worries of the Lord, so he thought of this crude method by digging out his mind. I just thought of it, and I didn't have time to give it to the Lord. Raising his eyes, he looked at the order of Hu Feng, and then said, "The minister took the liberty of guessing that the lord must have a clever plan for how to restrain Hu Mu. A fool has a thousand thoughts, and it is better to say a word from the wise sage. The minister dared to ask the Lord, but he didn't know what the Lord's clever plan was? Is this method really feasible? ”

asked him about his doubts for many days, and he didn't know what kind of clever strategy Ling Hu Feng had for restraining Hu Mu, and he didn't tell them all the time.

Linghu Feng said: "It's feasible, why can't it be done?" My idea? My magic plan is simple, didn't I teach you that day? To be fierce. And secondly, give them some benefits. This is called punishment and reward, and it is enough. ”

Xin Er said in his heart: "It turns out that he doesn't have any good plans. ”

If Linghu Feng is the king of Dingxi now, then there are many ways for him to do so, and now few people are short of money, and it is difficult for him to cook without rice.

Linghu Feng said to Jia Zhen: "You learn from Agua's strategy. He said to Cao Fei again: "You will take office tomorrow and study too." ”

Jia Zhen heaved and responded: "Yes, the minister must study hard." ”

Cao Fei disagreed, and thought in his heart: "Ah Gua has never been a big official, and his eyelids are shallow, so he really takes the four governors seriously." The Lord is just temporary, just for a temporary use! How? When the Lord returns to the royal capital and ascends the throne, is it possible that I will stay in Huzhong, eat the soil and drink the wind, and be the former governor of this Laoshizi? He replied, "Yes." ”

Xin Er bowed down and said: "Jueqian has been tricked, and when he comes back from captivity, the little minister can lead the troops out of the continent." However, the ministers were worried about casualties, and the ministers were bold and begged the lord to give the ministers some foot horses to dispel their worries. ”

Linghu Feng said in a deep voice: "Hu Mu bullies the soft and fears the hard, let them rob the miscellaneous Hu, it is indeed not as active as robbing the people of our Tang Dynasty." You are riding out and plundering, and you don't need foot soldiers, so I'll give you five horsemen, and some strong bows and good armor, and that's it. ”

Fu Qiao brought back some ordnance baggage, bows, armor, and knives.

Xin Er thought, "Do you only give me five rides?" A little less. However, if you add the bow and armor as a bargaining chip, it is enough. "There are only 100 horsemen in the Communist Party, this is the only force that Linghu Feng really controls now, and he is willing to take out five horses, or it depends on Xin Er's increasingly useful face.

Cao Fei felt that Xin Er was "shallow-eyed", which was because he didn't understand Xin Er.

Of course, Xin Er is not a person who has some powers, so he doesn't know how to deal with himself, but he really values these subordinates that Linghu has allocated to him.

Finding a way to get them to be willing to be restrained is just one of the important measures.

In addition, he did three things.

First, he demanded that the governor's ministers meet in his tent once every two days, regardless of their idleness.

Discipline is to require people to develop certain specific habits through regulations, such as the later generations stipulating that soldiers fold quilts and must fold them into tofu blocks, which is to start small and cultivate their rigorous military style. Xin Er asked the department to get together every two days, which seems to be a small thing, and subtly, a little longer, maybe you can slowly receive management results.

Next time, as long as there is nothing to do that day, he will choose a seed department under his supervision, and spend the whole day there from morning to night, learning Hu language, getting acquainted with the male and female herdsmen in the seed department, and eating and working with them; Pay attention to those who are more capable of riding, shooting, or hand-to-hand combat, or roosters and dogs, and give preferential treatment to the old and weak in labor and food within the scope of their powers and responsibilities.

In the last one, he selected one or two young people from each of the six small subordinates, a total of eight people, to act as personal guards, and let them move to live near the tents of Liu Zhuang's ancestors and grandchildren, divided into two shifts, and took turns to protect him. asked Linghu to give him the five armor warriors to take time to teach them fighting skills such as knives and lances; Occasionally, they are led to the oasis to hunt foxes and rabbits in the wilderness to show off their archery skills.

For these eight young Hu people, Xin Er undressed them, pushed them to eat, bought them new clothes with magnanimity, and told the Hu slaves to slaughter sheep for them to eat every day, and buttermilk and mare's milk wine were openly supplied.

Such a generous treatment is not for their dead power, they are all ordinary herdsmen in the Hu Department, what outstanding martial arts can they have? Xin Er did this, nothing more than a thousand gold bones, for the herdsmen in the six small rate departments to see. These eight people are not as strong as you in terms of ability and archery, but with me, not only do they not have to work hard, but they also eat and drink spicy food every day.

The effect is significant.

In the past two days, there are always herdsmen riding horses around him near him, drawing bows and arrows, and some of them are bare on cold days, hooking their chests and arms, showing their muscles, doing everything possible to attract his attention, making it as if they were performing skills.

There is also the outspoken one, who complains to his face that Xin Er has no insight to know people, and all the choices are waste, and he does not pick any of the real warriors in the ministry. The guards who were scolded as "waste" inevitably glared at them angrily, and Xin Er just laughed at them.

But it was said that Linghu Feng borrowed cavalry and bow armor, and Xin Er thanked him.

Everyone chatted for a while, and when they saw that Linghu Feng was absent-minded, they knew that he was anxious to read the replies of the old subordinates and think about the next things, so they were all interested, and they didn't wait for him to chase away the guests, and they all resigned.

Linghu Feng didn't send them, but said: "Come at night and wash the dust for Lao Cao!" "Impatiently open the letter and take a closer look.

Go out, all of you. The place of deliberation is the large account. Outside the tent, the snow fell.

Xin Er and the others were summoned after Cao Fei arrived at the tent, and when they came out at this time, Cao Fei saw his attendants at a glance.

The four horsemen, all dressed in fresh clothes, wore brocade hats, wore a short black jacket with a round neck, wore a leather belt with various things and silver ornaments hooked on their waists, and wore black fur hakama and knee-high leather boots.

Cao Fei said: "It's only been a few days, and it's a new look." It's really majestic. Seeing the greed, he said in his heart, "I also chose a few tall Hu Mu as my entourage." "I didn't care about the front governor, but now I was in a hurry to see the little ones who were allocated to him.

Xin Er stepped on the snow on the ground, stretched out his hand, and looked up at the sky, goose feather-like snowflakes were densely scattered, falling on his face and hands, and quickly melted, leaving cold water stains.

He said to the four horsemen: "It has been snowing for two days. You don't have to take turns today, call a few of them who are resting, go home and take a look, if there is a lack of food and clothing, ask Liu Weng to withdraw it; Help your father and brother to strengthen the tent, pile more hay, and keep the livestock warm, this snow will not be small, don't crush the tent and freeze the livestock to death. ”

He said these words in all nonsense, although he was still a little stumbling, but he was able to express the meaning clearly.

The four horsemen should have saluted him gratefully, and first went to inform the four men who were resting, and then divided them into the various departments.

Cao Fei, Jia Zhen, and Fu Qiao took Xin Er's words and actions in their eyes.

Fu Qiao exclaimed and said: "Love soldiers like sons." ”

Cao Fei already knew about the fact that Koji Shuo had sent three hundred horsemen to the ministry, and said in his heart: "Those five armor soldiers are the ones who can fight if they stand motionless under the snow and do not move." Agua is considerate of Hu Qi, which is called putting the cart before the horse. He scoffed at Fu Qiao's praise.

The foot pawn can fight more than four Hu cavalry, how can Xin Er not know?

It's just that these five foot soldiers are not his direct subordinates, they are given to him by Linghu, Xin Er is cautious, and does not want to arouse Linghu Feng's suspicion and dissatisfaction, so he neither commands nor treats these five foot soldiers well, and is just polite and courteous every day.

In the evening, Linghu gave Cao Fei to wash the dust.

The two captains who rode on foot, He Changxing, Ballian Chinu and the other three Da Shi and some of the big nobles of each department were called.

Linghu Feng showed them the letter from the old department, and said with a smile: "My old department can't wait, you see, the paper is full of shouting and shouting and killing." Fuck it! Haha, haha. You see, you see. Knowing that Jueqian had fallen for Xin Er's scheme, he pretended not to know and asked Chinu, "I heard that Jueqian led people out of the continent today?" It's snowing, and he doesn't stay in the tent honestly, what is he running out for? ”

On the day of the capture of the red slave, if it were not for the eyes of the public, the successor Jueqian had already killed him, and the father and son were now wary of each other, and the red slave was under house arrest among the He cadres, and there was no chance to see Jueqian in private, and he didn't know why he rushed out of the camp.

He rolled out of the hall and said on the ground: "The old slave rarely meets him, I don't know what the dog has done!" ”

After reading the letter, He Changxing passed it to the next person, respectfully congratulated Ling Hufeng, and said: "The old department of the adult is brave and loyal, it seems that it will not be long before the adult will be able to return the capital!" The villain dares to invite, and when the time comes, he will wave the flag and shout for the adult. "I think the handwriting of these letters is completely different from the last time?" Does Linghu Feng have so many old departments? "Joy and surprise. What is surprising is that Ling Hufeng's strength is beyond his imagination, and the joy is that the greater Ling Hufeng's strength, the greater the possibility of succeeding in seizing the throne.

At this night's banquet, Xin Er didn't drink too much because he had something to do the next day.

The next morning, he gave Linghu a leave, asked for the five horsemen who had promised him, received bows and armor, and other weapons, and then turned back to the book, and told the five horsemen to take off their armor and change into regular clothes, and only carry swords and bows, armor, and bows and armor for the time being, and put them in the tent for the time being, and let the five foot soldiers take care of them; Then, with the dry food and drinking water that Liu Zhuang's ancestors and grandsons had already prepared for them, he led the five horsemen out of the camp to the west.
