Chapter 11 Military Travel

Tian Cuo didn't know why: "Master Hou, dare to ask what kind of bureau you set up?" ”

Marquis Ji said slowly: "First of all, my Yu country is located in the land of four wars, if you want to preserve, you must enrich the country and strengthen the army. Those people in Di Department advocate changing the law, and in the final analysis, we still want to strengthen our Yu country, we sit back and enjoy the success, why not? Besides, under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? If the kingdom of Yu perishes, we will also suffer. ”

Tian Cuo nodded, but he was still unwilling: "However, looking at those people in Di Chu in the limelight, looking like a villain, I am just angry." ”

Ji Houye: "The success or failure of changing the law is unpredictable. It is done, we sit and reap the profits of the fishermen; If we are defeated, we can take the opportunity to pull Di Chu and Li Cai off their horses. Even if the law is changed, Di Chu will definitely offend many people. What's more, those who bravely shake the Lord are in danger, and those who cover the world will not be rewarded; If Di Chu really made a peerless achievement, he would definitely be suspicious of His Royal Highness King Yu. ”

Tian Cuo suddenly realized, and shouted: "Hou Ye is wise." ”

The next day, Di Hou Ye entered the palace and wrote the law of martial arts to Yu Wang Ji. After hearing this, Yuwang Jiwen nodded again and again and praised: "The law of the martial arts is very good, and it will be implemented on the same day." As for the leading general, I don't know if Di Hou has a suitable candidate? ”

Di Hou Ye replied: "Your Majesty, the two generals Wei Qi and Zhongshan Goat have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they will definitely be able to take on this important task." ”

Yuwang Jiwen: "The two generals have made outstanding achievements, and they are indeed the best candidates, and I will play them accurately." The one who knows my heart is you Dihou; The one who solves my worries is also you Di Hou. Since my accession to the throne, you have helped me a lot. Whatever reward you want, open your mouth, and I will answer. ”

Di Hou Ye hurriedly thanked: "Loyalty to the king is the duty of the micro-minister, the king has been rewarded a lot, how can the micro-minister be greedy and insufficient, I wish the king is healthy, and it is enough for the country of Yu to be strong." ”

Di Hou Ye retired, returned to the mansion, and summoned Li Fei, Li He, Wei Qi, Zhongshan Goat and others to inform them of today's events in the palace. Wei Qi and Zhongshan Goat were very excited, and they worshiped the Marquis Xie Di together.

Di Hou Ye: "From tomorrow, the two generals Wei Qi and Zhongshan Goat will begin to select military soldiers. "Wei Qi, Zhongshan Goat Command.

After the recruitment announcement of the Wushu Army was hung out, the young people of Yuguo were all excited and enthusiastically signed up. Wei Qi and Zhongshan Goat have been testing and selecting on the school field for several days. The test items are very rigorous, and seven or eight out of ten candidates will not be selected. After many screenings, tens of thousands of people were finally selected and incorporated into the "military pawn" army.

On the other hand, because Li He successively offered the method of cutting the lord and the method of martial arts, Marquis Di rewarded him with a set of palaces. The palace was very magnificent, with many servants and abundant wealth, and Li He was very happy. Li He wanted to repair the mansion a little, but he didn't understand Kaifeng's market, so he was worried, and suddenly remembered Ren Zuo and Dongfang Hu. So, Li He called the two of them and asked them to take care of the cultivation. Ren Zuo and Dongfang Hu readily agreed, and within a few days, the great work was completed, and Li He was very satisfied.

Subsequently, Li He recommended Ren Zuo and Dongfang Hu to Di Hou Ye, and Di Hou Ye saw that Ren Zuo was well-informed and Dongfang Hu was quite strategic, so he took the two under his command.

After more than ten months, Wei Qi and Zhongshan Goat led the soldiers and prepared to march to the military camp in the west of the city to carry out long-term training. Li He, Ren Zuo, and Dongfang Hu were ordered by Di Hou Ye to go out with the army and assist the two generals Wei Qi and Zhongshan Goat. Before leaving, Li He found that Li Xinyu had also gone with him.

Li Xinyu changed into a military uniform, straddling a horse with a sword, and was heroic. Li He stepped forward and asked: "Miss Li, this march has many hardships, but I'm afraid that you, a girl, can't stand this kind of suffering." ”

Li Xinyu: "Thank you Li Gongzi for your concern." I have traveled around with my father since I was a child, and this bit of hardship is nothing. ”

After the warriors came to the camp, Wei Qi arranged tasks for everyone. Ren Zuo is responsible for surveying the terrain and transmitting intelligence; Dongfang Hu was responsible for the allocation of heavy food and salary, while Li He served as a staff officer of the army. For many days, Wei Qi and Zhongshan Goat were busy training, and Li He had nothing to do, while training with the soldiers; While traveling with Li Xinyu and Ren Zuo and his entourage, it is also pleasant to travel in the mountains and rivers and survey the terrain.

Li He saw Li Xinyu wading through mountains and rivers, and his skills were agile, and he praised again and again: "I didn't expect Miss Li to have such skills." ”

Li Xinyu: "When I was young, my father traveled around to study, and I followed him all over the famous rivers and mountains. My father visited famous families, but when everyone in the noble clan saw that my father was from a low background, they did not use it. Fortunately, he met Di Hou Ye later, and his father was worshiped as Shangqing; Now, my father is even more valued by King Yu and entrusted with the position of prime minister. Looking back, it's like a world away. ”

Li He: "Master Li is erudite and talented, and he will be able to make contributions and leave a name in history." ”

One day, Wei Qi announced: "Today, a test will be conducted to test the results of the training some time ago. The requirement of the test is that all soldiers are fully armed, trek all the way through mountains and rivers, and arrive at their destination within a time limit. Those who can complete the task will be rewarded; Those who fail to complete the task will be expelled. ”

As a result, the whole army reorganized its outfit and prepared for action. Li He also changed into a full suit and joined the ranks of the test. Wei Qi dissuaded Li He: "Brother Xian, this trip is quite difficult, you are a staff officer, there is no need to participate in the test." ”

Li He insisted on going: "Brother Wei, I have also undergone long-term training before, how can this little test be difficult for me?" ”

The whole army set off. All the way to the mountains, overcoming thorns and thorns; Halfway through, some people were injured and couldn't move forward, and some people were exhausted and chose to give up. After half a day, only half of the soldiers successfully arrived at their destination and were heavily rewarded by Wei Qi; Those who did not complete their tasks were removed from the army, some were assigned to other units, and some were dismissed and returned to their hometowns.

Li He gritted his teeth and persevered, and finally arrived at his destination, but he was also exhausted and sat down on the ground. Wei Qi was very happy and patted Li He on the shoulder: "Brother Xian, it's really a man, do you feel good?" ”

Li He stiffened his neck and replied, "No problem, this test is nothing more than that." ”

At night, there were screams from inside Li He's tent.

Ren Zuo said while giving Li He medicinal wine: "Li Gongzi, bear with it, this is an ancestral medicine given by an acquaintance of mine, it has the miraculous effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, and it will ensure that you are cured of the disease." ”

Li He grinned in pain: "Brother Ren, you light, oops... ”

The two of them were applying medicine to themselves, when a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the account. Ren Zuo hurriedly went out of the account to take a look, and it turned out to be Li Xinyu.

Li Xinyu looked at Li He's embarrassment and couldn't breathe with laughter.

The next day, Li He was escorted by Ren Zuo and Li Xinyu, and resigned to the two generals, Wei Qi and Zhongshan Goat, and prepared to return to Kaifeng. Ren Zuo drove the horse, and Li He and Li Xinyu sat in the carriage together. Li He was half-sitting and half-lying, feeling uncomfortable. Li Xinyu didn't say anything, just looked at him and smiled.

Li He broke the embarrassment: "Miss Li, what hobbies do you have?" ”

Li Xinyu: "I know a little bit about calligraphy and painting, but I prefer to hunt and know a little bit about riding and archery. ”

Li He: "Miss Li is both civil and military, it's really rare. ”

Li Xinyu: "I remember one time, I went with my father to visit a famous teacher. It was getting late, so I had to stay in a guest village in the middle of nowhere. The courtyard wall of the inn is very high, and there are only two people in the village, my father and me.

Unexpectedly, more than a dozen robbers came in the middle of the night, wanting to kill people and steal goods. The gang of robbers blocked the gate of the guest village, but they didn't know how many people were in the village, so they didn't dare to break in. A few robbers wanted to go to the village to find out the truth, and it happened that I had a few bows and arrows with me, so I hid in the house, and through the window, I opened my bow and arrows, and shot and killed several robbers.

The robbers hurriedly dodged, and after a while tried to break in again, but my bow and arrows were already out. I was in a hurry and shouted "Bring the arrows", but when I threw a bundle of hemp stalks on the ground, it sounded like a bow and arrows falling to the ground. The gang of robbers fell for the trick, shouting, "They still have a lot of bows and arrows, get out of here," and fled in dismay. ”

Li He praised: "Miss Li is so strategic, admire and admire." ”

Li Xinyu: "Don't talk about me, Li Gongzi, tell me about you, where are you from?" ”

Li He hesitated for a moment and said, "I come from a far away place, very far away, you have not heard of it, and I don't know what to call it." I left my hometown a long time ago to work and study at the same time. ”

Li Xinyu: "What about your family?" ”

Li He: "I haven't seen them for a long time, I hope they are well." ”

Li Xinyu: "Do you have any friends?" ”

"It turns out that I have also worked as an official in my hometown. Everyone is not only a colleague, but also a comrade-in-arms. Later, everyone went their separate ways, but they still remembered each other. Li He looked at the sky, with tears in his eyes, and then said: "Now, I have come to Kaifeng and met Brother Wei, Brother Zhongshan, Brother Ren, Brother Dongfang, and you Miss Li, you are all good friends of mine. ”

Li Xinyu was silent for a long time.

The two talked and laughed all the way back to Kaifeng.

The carriage stopped in front of Li Fu's mansion, and Li He helped Li Xinyu get out of the carriage. Suddenly, there was a broken drink from behind: "You are just fooling around!" ”
