The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly called out to Wei Yuanqi and said:

"This lord, dare to ask if the lord who just accepted our money and things is the marquis of the army?"

Wei Yuanqi turned around and glared again, and said, "What has received your money and goods, who has received your money and goods, and then dare to talk nonsense and be careful of your tongue." ”

After saying that, he glared at the middle-aged man fiercely and walked away.

The middle-aged man was still looking at the barracks in a daze, but several people behind him were already choking, and the person who asked him just said with a crying voice:

"General Wei, ah no, Brother Wei, we don't deserve to be humiliated like this, the big husband will have a big scar when he dies, I can't wait to join the army, I will go north with you tomorrow to kill the Rong people, and if I can kill a few, it is better than humiliating these dogs who look down on people, a burden of money, a burden of money and things, but the food of these hundreds of people, but in exchange for such a little medicine, woo woo."

At this, the man couldn't bear it anymore and began to cry, and many of the dozens of people behind him were secretly in tears.

Only the middle-aged man was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, and when he saw the crying crowd, he couldn't help but be stunned again, so he shouted:

"We're all crying, we're saved, gather up our brothers and join the army early tomorrow morning."

The crying young man listened to the middle-aged man's words, and said cautiously: "What are the few who are going fast?" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he kicked him to the ground, and laughed: "There is no fast walking, and there is no damn one, we can all survive, hahahaha." ”

After saying that, he laughed and walked into the dark night.

Then the crowd followed him and left, and the young man, who had been kicked to the ground, got up, and as if he understood, he said to himself:

"I've survived, I've survived, haha. Big brother, you won't die, General Wei, ah, phew, Brother Wei said, none of us will die. ”

While muttering to himself, he patted the dirt on his ass and chased after him.

Early in the morning of the second day, when Lu Lihua, Wei Yuanqi, and An Moran walked out of the military tent with a letter, they saw more than 400 people standing in front of the barracks.

More than half of the people behind him were injured, but the aura they revealed was absolutely incomparable to that of ordinary people.

At a glance, the three of them knew that the unique aura exuded by these people was murderous, and it belonged to the murderous aura of a hundred soldiers.

When the middle-aged man saw the three of them walking out of the camp, he walked straight to Wei Yuanqi, and when he walked in front of Wei Yuanqi, the middle-aged man bowed his head to the three of them.

The three of them hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and Wei Yuanqi stepped forward to help the middle-aged man and said, "No reason to be rude, why are you?" Do you want to hope for the early death of the three of us? ”

When Wei Yuanqi saw the middle-aged man raise his head again, his eyes were already red, and the three of them couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this.

I saw him turn around and point to the man behind him:

"Your Excellency has already guessed who we are, and if it weren't for yesterday's military medicine, I'm afraid half of these people would have died.

For us, the three adults are our saviors. When he is on the battlefield, he will die. ”

After that, the middle-aged man looked at the three people in front of him with red eyes and a sincere face.

At this time, Li Hua, who was in the middle of the three, said to the middle-aged man with a smile: "This is not the place to speak, please ask this strong man to take everyone into the camp before talking." ”

With that, he turned around and went into the camp first.

The middle-aged man was also straightforward, and immediately led people to follow Wei Yuanqi into the camp.

At this moment, there were already people in the camp waiting at the special registration place prepared for them to register the soldiers. Moreover, these registered soldiers, under the instruction of Zhu Lihua, did not study the background of these people in detail.

Whatever they say, they write it down in the annals.

After the middle-aged man finished registering, he was led by Wei Yuanqi to the account of the Chinese army and went to see Lihua.

The middle-aged man already knew at this moment that the person who took his money yesterday was the chief general of the recruiting army, although he had not heard of this person before, but the act of giving them military medicine at night had already made the middle-aged man grateful, and he had a great impression of the young military marquis.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw that he was sitting on the top of the camp, and hurriedly got up, walked to the middle-aged man, took his hand and said, "Please forgive me for the neglect in the barley yesterday." ”

The middle-aged man had a wry smile on his face, so he let go of Zhu Lihua's hand, took two steps back and saluted: "Since the first battle of Xiao Guan, Wei is no longer an adult, if it weren't for the fact that the military in Zhu Li could give him food, I don't know when I would be arrested by the government and cut off my head."

The word adult, please don't mention it again. ”

Seeing what he said, he nodded, turned around and sat back on the throne.

He stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man and invited him to take a seat, and when he saw that the middle-aged man sat down unceremoniously, he asked, "Dare to ask what kind of soldiers Wei Zhuang and the brothers in the camp are in the Xiaoguan army?" ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Wei replied: "I used to be a cavalryman, and more than 50 of the brothers outside the door are also cavalrymen, and among the rest, archers account for the majority of seventy percent, and Changge soldiers account for less than twenty percent. ”

Zhu Lihua pondered for a moment, and then said to him: "Although I don't have cavalry in this Qu army, I have 400 personal soldiers, which can be handed over to Wei Zhuang to train as cavalry, I don't know if Wei Zhuang can agree." ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Wei flashed a hint of joy in his eyes when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Wei Mu is willing, willing." ”

Zhu Lihua talked to him a few more words, telling him that he was only training soldiers and horses, and had no military qualifications, but Wei Mu didn't mind this at all.

To him, it was better than anything to be able to ride a war horse again.

After Lihua asked Wei Mu to lead him to find his place in the camp, Wei Mu woke up as if he had woken up from a dream.

Only then did he remember that he was in the Chinese military tent, and the military marquis named Zhu Lihua didn't even ask what his name was, so he handed over his own soldiers to himself.

And from the beginning to the end, except for asking about the original type of troops, the military candidate never mentioned the past of everyone, and it seems that he also deliberately wanted to hide it for himself and others.

Since the Marquis of Lihua didn't ask about his past, it showed that he was at ease enough with himself.

Wei Mu suddenly remembered Fang Mingxin, who had led him in a bloody battle for more than ten years but had died in Xiao Pass, thought of Yong Yunqi, who rushed to the Qin army's camp and was determined to put himself to death, and remembered the tragic situation of himself and his ten brothers who fled late at night and wandered between life and death in various counties many times, and couldn't help but sigh.

Walking in the familiar barracks again, Wei Mu looked left and right, but his face was full of joy, but there was some sadness in his eyes.

"Wei Lin is dead, so let Wei Mu avenge him.

Five days later, when Gao Yunce and Liang Qingshu returned from recruiting troops from Chaona County and Jingyang County respectively, Zhu Lihua ordered to rush to Wushi County early the next morning.

Gao Yunce and Liang Qingshu each recruited 2,000 troops from Chaona and Jingyang counties according to the plan, and in addition to the 1,000 soldiers recruited from Dayuan, Zhu Lihua unified the original more than 50 cavalry brought by Wei Lin and nearly 50 more soldiers selected from the recruitment and his original 400 personal soldiers and 500 soldiers into cavalry, and handed them over to Wei Mu to command.

But nominally, these people were just the personal soldiers of Zhu Lihua, and the horses of these cavalry were provided by Ohara County.

Although the pressure on the counties has been quite great in the past six months, and Dayuan County has only recruited 3,000 troops just a few days before the recruitment of troops in Lihua, as a supplement to the reinforcements sent to Longde County.

However, it was quite easy to provide war horses for 500 people. After all, the counties of Yuanzhou, Lingzhou and Shuofang County are the main war horse production areas of Qin.

In the end, the whole army of the Muqi army had more than 3,500 soldiers and horses, 1,500 war horses, and 500 people who escorted grain and grass, and the army marched to Wushi County early the next morning.

For these recruits, they are all soldiers who have been fighting all over the border over the years, similar to marching and fighting, and there is no need to go to special centralized training, which is also the basic requirement of Lihua when he recruited soldiers.

And just as the Mu Qi army set off from Dayuan County, Zhao Zhihai's 10,000 Qin troops had just arrived in Wushi County.

As soon as he arrived in Wushi County, the county magistrate immediately arranged for the government to be used by this powerful general.

In fact, in the past two months, this government has long been used as Zhao Zhiliang's line, and it is no longer used by the county order.

Hearing that Zhao Zhihai was coming to Wushi County, Zhao Zhiliang also rushed back from the front line of Mugao Pass, and when he saw Zhao Zhihai, he cried loudly.

Zhao Zhihai knew that Zhao Zhiliang must have known about Zhao Zhidong's death, although he was saddened, he still grimaced and severely reprimanded Zhao Zhiliang, telling him not to be a woman during the critical period of the war between the two armies.

Zhao Zhiliang was just a moment of sorrow after seeing Zhao Zhihai, and when he saw Zhao Zhihai angry, he wiped away his tears and described the war in the past two months to Zhao Zhihai in detail.

Through more than an hour of narration, Zhao Zhihai already knew that Zhao Zhiliang led 30,000 troops to be stationed in five counties of Yuanzhou to strengthen defense. After receiving the order of General Zhao Zhihai, the troops attacked the four passes of Mica, Qixia, Bitan, and Musashi in four ways, but after several days of hard fighting, they all fell into a stalemate because these four passes were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After the Yinyangou Chidao was occupied by the Rong people, the situation of Xiaoguan was not known in the pass for more than half a month, so that Zhao Zhiliang gathered the soldiers and horses together again, and prepared to attack the Yinyangou Chidao with Wang Minbing, but in the end he gave up because of the personal dissuasion of the general government Jieyuan.

Later, he finally got the news that Zhao Zhihai had entered the customs from Yuxiao Pass, which made Zhao Zhiliang feel at ease.

Although he also learned of Zhao Zhidong's death, he quickly calmed down after experiencing the beginning of his pathos. He concentrated his troops in Wushi County and was ready to meet Zhao Zhihai at any time.

A few days ago, he received an order from Zhao Zhihai from Longde, asking him to lead his troops to attack Mujiao Pass. After the initial surprise, he combined with the news that Zhao Zhihai had entered the pass from the southernmost Yuxiao Pass, and immediately guessed the meaning behind this order, and immediately ordered troops to kill the wooden prison pass.

It was only at the Wooden Prison Pass that he learned from the scouts who sent daily military reports that his brother had died at the hands of the rebels in the Wooden Prison Pass.

Although he is not as brave as Zhong Xu, but Zhao Zhiliang is also a brave warrior among the Great Qin Generals, and in the next few days, he personally went into battle, led his soldiers to attack the wooden prison pass for four days, although the number of defenders was very large, but still could not break through the wooden prison pass.

He then ordered the withdrawal of the army to rest, and Chen soldiers were ten miles below the wooden prison.
