"You can send someone to preach, and the old man will cooperate." Xu Ling immediately said. In fact, in the academy, he paid attention to the cultivation of scholars' physical fitness, swordsmanship, etc., and he did not have such thoughts.

Now the imperial court actually does not have much gap in civil officials, and after the implementation of the new administrative division, many redundant and overlapping official positions have been removed, and the pressure on talents has naturally been reduced a lot. In addition, Li Xinchen has not yet completely clarified how the talents cultivated by the academy should be placed, so as the head of the mountain, Xu Ling must seek a way back for his disciples.

Joining the military is not a good choice.

In this era, the position of the main book in the army is transcendent, the military salary is rich, and it can also meet the desire of many people to put pen to paper, and the usual work is not very tiring, mainly to teach the soldiers and write war reports or something, there is no need to train with the army, and even to be able to teach and educate people, which is definitely what many children of the poor family want, and for the children of the family, it is also a good policy to be able to enter the army with this opportunity to seek a rising step.

You must know that the so-called children of the family do not all mean that they can sit back and relax, some large-scale families, such as the Xu family of Wujun in Xuling, have been inherited for hundreds of years, and they have already branched out.

Although the concubines and side branches in the family still bear the name of the Xu family, unless they are talented, it is difficult to enjoy any social preference under the name of the family.

Yang Su obviously also grasped this, so he didn't worry about not being able to recruit people at all. And Xu Ling, as the head of the mountain, is also willing to do this favor.

"Thank you Xiao Mugong." Yang Su solemnly bowed his hand.

Xu Ling stroked his beard and waved his hand: "The old man is already old, there is not much he can do, so he can do his best." ”

Looking at Xu Ling's slowly departing figure, Yang Su was speechless for a while. And Yang Yue whispered beside him: "This is really ······ It's incomprehensible. ”

"He has experienced too many vicissitudes, so his mentality is far more complicated than ours, but what is certain is that he has no ill will towards us, for this new dynasty." Yang Su said lightly, "This is just an old man who wants to do something more to end this troubled world, we don't need to doubt what he thinks." ”

After Xu Ling left, Niu Hong, who had already received the news from Chengdu Academy, looked at Yang Su with a smile and looked at Yang Su coming over, and his attitude was simply a 180-degree turn from before. He didn't expect that Yang Su, who joined the army, would really solve this matter.

"Yes, everywhere." Niu Hong laughed and gave Yang Su a bear hug.

He is now General Wu Yi, although compared to the original General Weilie, he is still in the category of miscellaneous generals, but originally since the Battle of Hanzhong, Niu Hong has not much credit, and although the name of General Wu Yi is still a miscellaneous general, the meaning is completely different. Xiao Maha, the imperial lieutenant of the dynasty, and Pei Zilie, the general of the chariot cavalry, both rose from this position, and it can be said that General Wu Yi represents the next candidate for promotion, as long as Niu Hong can make meritorious contributions, it is not impossible to rise one level.

"It is estimated that the academy will be able to replenish you with twenty more people recently, but you have to protect these people well," Yang Su said in a deep voice, "Except for any problems, when the time comes, it will be Xiao Mugong who will personally come to you to settle accounts." ”

Niu Hong nodded hurriedly: "In this way, my army can finally go north." ”

"Going north? The order of the imperial court came? ”

"Yes, this morning's urgent order from the Taiwei Mansion made the north uneasy." Niu Hong bowed slightly, "Even if it's not for anything else, it's just that this matter has to be discussed with you." ”

Yang Su frowned: "This is also reasonable. ”

And Niu Hong made a gesture of please, and a sand table was placed in the middle of the room, and Yang Su just glanced at the mark on the sand table, and roughly understood something: "Yang Jian sent troops to Qishan?" ”

"That's right, our biggest problem now is that the connection between Hanzhong and the northwest is only one Qishan Road, no matter what Yang Jian wants to do, as long as he puts his soldiers and horses on the Qishan Road, it will threaten the northwest, and we can't sit idly by."

"Troops?"

"Yu Yi led the troops, and the number was about 10,000."

"Old rivals." Yang Su laughed. When Li Xinchen went out of Tianshui to occupy the northwest, it was Yu Yi and Yu Xi father and son who led the army to block the confrontation between Xiaoguan and Li Xinchen.

"I don't know if I want to bluff or really plan to go to war," Niu Hong said worriedly, "but we can't take it lightly, we will soon lead our army north to Hanzhong, replace Xu Deyan to guard Hanzhong, and at the same time guard against the back road of the Sword Pavilion." ”

Yang Su said in a deep voice: "The biggest problem in Shu now is that most of the soldiers and horses are new soldiers, on the other hand, although there are not many soldiers and horses in Yu Yi's hands, they are all veterans who have fought with Yu Wenxian for some years, and it is not good for us to start a war rashly." ”

"You have to be hard-headed, you can't lose it in the northwest." Niu Hong smiled bitterly, "At that time, His Majesty did not hesitate to risk his life to go to the northwest, just to open up the road from Shuzhong to the northwest horse farm, as long as the northwest is in our hands, we can form cavalry, otherwise we have no way to go north with foot soldiers alone." ”

Yang Su bowed slightly, the northwest is barren and sparsely populated, and even Shuzhong needs to continuously transfuse blood to the northwest through the Qishan Road, but the war horses under the Qilian Mountain in the northwest are indispensable resources, and they are also one of the few resources in the hands of the Han people now. With the Turks moving south, the original traditional Hetao and other horse farms have fallen into the hands of the Turks, and only Yu Wenxian can still master the horse farms north of Jinyang, whether it is Yang Jian or Yu Wenxian, the large number of war horse resources that they want to obtain can only be through the Turks.

"But as far as I know, the current horse farms in the northwest are actually not very productive?"

Niu Hong was born in the Anding Niu family, and he is naturally clear about the situation in the northwest: "That's right, in the early years of the Northern Dynasty, the northwest was also full of wars, and there has never been peace, many natural horse farms have been abandoned, and only a few can still produce horses, but you also know that not any horse can be used as a war horse, and those that can really be used as war horses are hundreds a year." ”

Yang Su raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "So little? ”

"So although Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the sluggishness of the various families in my northwest at that time, he doesn't dare to do anything to us after all." Niu Hong said the truth a little helplessly, "It's because I want to rebuild these horse farms, and I can't do without those of us who know horses." ”
