However, since the major general had already made up his mind, and considering that if he disobeyed the order of the young general, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain to the general if he went back, so several leading cavalrymen glanced at each other, bowed slightly, and one of them took a step forward, first glanced at Li Xinchen and Li Qiu vigilantly, and then bowed his hand to Xiao Shilian:

"General, the bandits in the surrounding villages have been almost swept away by us, and if we go into the mountains, we will not be able to suffer enough from the deep mountains and old forests."

After a pause, the old man then glanced at Li Xinchen and the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally: "What's more······ These two people don't know where they came from······"

Li Xinchen couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth, veteran oil, veteran oil, this title is really worthy of the name, and these guys today are typical veteran oils. They had obviously made up their minds to follow Xiao Shilian, but they were afraid that they would not be able to bear the punishment of Wu Yi's general Xiao Maha after encountering an accident due to a small number of people and other reasons, so they stood up to oppose it first, and it would be easy to explain to Xiao Maha when the time came.

To say the least, after his own more dissuasion, the major general insisted on going his own way.

Xiao Shilian frowned, and said in a deep voice: "My mind has been decided, no need to say more." What's more, General Wu Yi ordered me to wait out, just to encircle and suppress the bandits, if the bandits are allowed to do anything wrong, then why do you want us to come out and run this trip? What's more, now that these bandits are just burning, killing and looting, who knows when they will fight our grain road idea? ”

Several old soldiers nodded hesitantly, and Xiao Shilian turned to look at Li Xinchen and looked the two of them up and down—obviously the worries of the old pawns made Xiao Shilian a little more vigilant—before he said, "I don't know the names of the two righteous men yet?" ”

Li Xinchen hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The surname is Li, the name is Xinchen, this is the brother of the family, Li Qiu." ”

"Then dare to ask Brother Li to lead the way." Xiao Shilian nodded and made a gesture of please.

And Li Xinchen's solemn head, no matter what Xiao Shilian's command and combat ability is, at least now Xiao Shilian's integrity and courage and the quality embodied by his family of famous generals have impressed Li Xinchen.

This is also the first time that Li Xinchen has felt this kind of power from the family in this life.

————————————---

The two of them are of the same age, and Xiao Shilian is very interested in Li Xinchen's battle of wits and courage with the bandit last night, so the two talked about it after coming and going. Li Xinchen has the accumulation of knowledge in his previous life, coupled with Li Cheng's teachings in this life - of course, this teaching is actually to instill the knowledge that Chen Qingzhi gave them back then to Li Xinchen and these young people, but knowledge and insight have always been the more the better-so Li Xinchen can fully talk to Xiao Shilian.

This experience of more than 1,400 years has not come in vain.

Xiao Shilian obviously didn't expect that this young man who grew up in the mountains really had some ability, so he naturally looked at it differently. However, the eyes of the old soldiers around him were not so friendly, and their sharp eyes followed Li Xinchen and Li Qiu all the time.

For them, this young man who has shown extraordinary speech and demeanor is indeed worthy of vigilance.

"As Brother Li said, the northern barbarians came violently, and they were beaten by General Wu Yi, so I have to think of these despicable methods." Xiao Shilian said with emotion, looking at Li Xinchen who was riding on a horse and walking with him, "The military division that Brother Li said is the staff sent by Wang Rail, although most of them are powerless, but they are all henchmen who have followed Wang Rail for many years, and their main purpose is also very clear, to guide these thieves who were originally just a rabble to attack the yamen of my Da Chen's official mansion, the grain transportation convoy, and even the ordinary villages, and their intentions are extremely sinister!" ”

Li Xinchen nodded, just pricked up his ears and listened quietly, for him, these things that came out of Xiao Shilian's mouth that had a lot to do with the current situation were naturally unwanted. After all, Li Xinchen had just read a few history books in his spare time before, so it was naturally impossible to understand everything about this era.

This Xiao Shilian, who fell from the sky, is the best way for him to understand the outside world. If it weren't for the fact that there were still hundreds of lives to be borne by Li Xinchen, I am afraid that Li Xinchen would have dragged Xiao Shilian to find a place to talk and take out all the things in his stomach.

"This Wang Liang is also a cunning character, he learned the lesson of Yuwen Xin's defeat by General Wu Yi, and while he is on guard with all his might, he is constantly harassing with this method, so that we will not be able to let go of our hands and feet to deal with them." Xiao Shilian gritted his teeth and said hatefully, obviously as a well-educated young general, he has a lot of shame for this kind of thing.

Li Xinchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, this young general still needs more battlefield blood and fire. On the battlefield of your life and death, what righteousness and morality are just a fig leaf for everyone, sometimes with the right soldiers in front, and at the same time behind the back, everything can be done, and the combination of odd and positive can win.

Because Li Xinchen is young, he calls himself a younger brother: "Although the foolish brother has been in the mountains for a long time, the news outside the mountains has always been heard, and the people in the village will come back with a lot of news when they go down the mountain to buy, especially the recent tragedy of the two sides in the north and south of Luliang, and I have heard a lot, after all, no matter which side wins or loses, the last victim is us ordinary people." ”

Xiao Shilian frowned, obviously such a statement was indeed a little difficult for him, a general of Nan Chen, to accept, and in his heart he still hoped to get the support of the people and achieve this victory. But he also knew that what Li Xinchen said was right.

It is better to be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person. For the war-torn people, it doesn't really make much difference who rules them, all they want is to save their lives.

And the veterans around Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xinchen with a much kinder gaze, for those of them who have been on the battlefield and experienced too much life and death, what they actually want is to have an acre of land after the war subsides, so that they can stay away from the war and hustle and bustle.

At least in this regard, they have the same demands as the people in the mountains like Li Xinchen and Li Qiu.

Xiao Shilian exhaled lightly and looked at Li Xinchen: "Please rest assured, Brother Xinchen, what we are doing now is also to get rid of these bandits who pose a threat to you." When we defeat the barbarians in the north, we will definitely give peace to the people on this side. ”

Li Xinchen didn't look directly at Xiao Shilian, but looked around, in the vast barren grass, and didn't know how many dry bones had turned into ashes?

For Huaishang, a land where the war has never stopped for a hundred years, when will we be able to win real peace?
