The militia battalion

Yan Kui looked at the letter paper in his hand, a little confused, so he looked at Xu Yu next to him.

"Didn't this Gu Dutou already congratulate the Huang County Lieutenant, why did the Huang Mansion send someone to congratulate him again."

Xu Yu didn't answer, walked to the gift box sent by the Huang Mansion in the room, took the gift list from a box, roughly swept it, and then there was a rare hint of surprise in his eyes, Xu Yu handed the gift list to Yan Kui, and his tone was a little difficult to understand.

"Your Excellency, might as well take a look at this gift list?"

"Ten brocades from Yangzhou in Southern Chu, two pairs of beautiful jade from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, five strings of pearls from the East China Sea, and three animals, gold and silverware, swords, and armor......... Obediently, this adds up to a thousand taels less, what is Huang Dahu doing? Open a granary? ”

Seeing that Xu Yu, who had always been calm, had changed color, Yan Kui's curiosity increased, and he took the gift list and took a closer look, and then he was shocked by the long congratulatory gift on the gift list, and let out a poor exclamation.

It's no wonder that Yan Kui is not determined, but the value of the Huang family's congratulatory gift is too heavy.

You must know that the best two-entry mansion in the county area is only worth four or five hundred taels, and Huang Dahu's shot is equivalent to giving Yan Kui two sets of two-entry houses, which is still the best location, so Yan Kui can't afford not to pay attention to it.

Someone is still living in a butcher's shop when he returns to the county seat.........

………

"Ahem."

Yan Kui put the gift list away, looked back at Xu Yu, and his expression was slightly entangled: "Zijun, which one do you think Huang Dahu is singing?" ”

A few days ago, at this time, Xu Yu had an extra folding fan in his hand, and Xu Dacai rubbed the fan bone, his eyes moving slightly.

"My lord, isn't Huang Dahu trying to show favor to you?"

"Huh?"

Yan Kui's face moved, and then he shook his head with a wry smile: "With my sworn brother's temperament, I'm afraid I won't give in easily, I think it may be that his family secretly sent it from him." ”

"I don't rule it out."

Xu Yu folded his fan slightly, first affirmed Yan Kui's thoughts, and then said with a smile: "However, my subordinates think that if there is no acquiescence from County Lieutenant Huang, even if someone wants to repair the relationship with the adult, I am afraid they will not dare to give up such a large amount of money."

After all, to put it mildly, if County Lieutenant Huang really fights with us, these gifts are enemies. ”

Yan Kui nodded: "What you said makes sense, haha, if this Huang Dahu really reconciles with us, it can be regarded as the end of my heart." ”

Xu Yu's face was full of approval, don't look at Huang Dahu who seems to be inferior to Yan Kui now, but he has been in business for many years, and his power has long been deeply rooted in Qingyuan.

In the final analysis, Yan Kui's purpose is to suppress bandits and accumulate military exploits, so as to achieve greater development, and not really want to fight Huang Dahu to the end.

If the two families can abandon their previous suspicions and work together to suppress the bandits, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages for Yan Kui.

…………

"Zijun, you prepare a reply letter for me, be polite, forget it, you will go to Huangfu in person in a while, show more kindness, and let Huang Dahu and them know that I Yan Kui has no intention of competing with them."

Yan Kui thought about it for a while, since Huangfu took the initiative to show goodwill, he couldn't be indifferent, hand each other a step, and they were all good to step down.

Xu Yu understood what Yan Kui meant, nodded yes, and the two were discussing, when Liu Mao came in in armor.

Hong Guangbing, the former chief general of the anti-bandit army and the chief soldier of Tong'an Prefecture, classified the militia as a partial division under the command of the anti-bandit army, and then assigned Liu Mao and Lin Hui, who were seconded over, to the militia regiment.

Liu Mao served as the deputy team trainer and assisted Yan Kui; Lin Hui served as a military marquis, in charge of training and combat, and the official titles of the two were still eight grades and thousands of households, the same level as Yan Kui, and they were also the only two officials in the militia other than Yan Kui.

"My lord, the ordnance sent by the city has arrived."

After experiencing the battle of the rocky land, Liu Mao can be regarded as a comrade-in-arms who has experienced the battle formation with Yan Kui and has lived and died together, although he is still quite afraid of Yan Kui, but it is much better than at the beginning, at least he will not be so trembling when he gets along with Yan Kui normally.

Respect and fear.

Liu Mao now shows the attitude that a normal subordinate should have, of course, no one knows what he thinks psychologically.........

…………

Hearing Liu Mao's announcement, Yan Kui also stopped discussing with Xu Yu and asked with a happy face.

"But there is a list, where is the person who has become, please come in and speak."

Liu Mao replied: "The people from Fucheng have been ordered by the county to stay in the county government to receive the wind, and it was the people from the county government who sent the ordnance over.

After that, Liu Mao took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Yan Kui with both hands: "This is an ordnance list, my subordinates have experienced it, there are no mistakes or omissions, and the quality can also be regarded as excellent, compared with what we use now, at least more than two streets." ”

Yan Kui took the list and opened it, there were not many ordnance varieties listed on it, but it was enough to make him smile.

"Haha, if you don't say it's still a big city, if we had this batch of ordnance before, Lao Tzu would still be afraid to fight hard with Na Luo Biao, so I would directly wrap him up."

Xu Yu saw that Yan Kui was so excited, he couldn't help but glance at the list a few times, and the corners of his eyes suddenly moved.

500 spears, 500 single knives, 100 sets of wooden shields, 200 pairs of cotton armor, 50 longbows, 3,000 arrows, 10 pairs of leather armor, and a number of refined weapons.........

If this ordnance is equipped with the militia group, I am afraid that it will be more regular than the Tong'an Army of the General Military Office.

Liu Mao had inspected the weapons, so he naturally knew the contents of the booklet, and when he saw Yan Kui and the others being happy and excited, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that the battle of the rocky land is really in the eyes of the above, otherwise the chief soldier would not be so generous."

I also heard from the people of the county government that in addition to these ordnance, the Fucheng side is also going to distribute some food and salary to us, and the amount is very considerable, and it is expected to be delivered in mid-September. ”

……………

"Hahaha, this battle is not a loss, Zijun, thanks to your battle exploits to report this idea, otherwise we would still beg the county government for relief."

After listening to Liu Mao's words, Yan Kui couldn't suppress the joy in his heart anymore, laughed proudly, and then didn't forget to praise Xu Yu.

Compared with Yan Kui, Xu Yu is obviously much calmer, and his attitude is also very positive: "The battle was fought by adults and brothers, Xu Yu just planned from it, and now it happens that he will be appreciated by the above, and it is also a great popularity." “

Xu Yu was so modest that Yan Kui couldn't stop laughing, pointed at him with a smile, and didn't say anything anymore, but Liu Mao next to him cautiously glanced at Xu Yu secretly, and secretly admired it in his heart.

It's no wonder that this Xu Zhubo can't be valued so much by adults, and this steady heart is enough to surpass the vast majority of mediocre people.........

Xu Yuke didn't know that Liu Mao was praising him in his heart, he looked at Yan Kui, who was still holding the booklet and was stupid, and said.

"My lord, if the subordinates expect to be right, the army of bandits is about to be assembled, and they will come to Chongshan to suppress the bandits."

"Oh, is Zijun sure that he said this?"

Xu Yu's words woke Yan Kui up all of a sudden, including Liu Mao, who also looked at Xu Yu in shock.

………

Facing the surprise and doubt in the eyes of Yan Kui and the others, Xu Yu smiled calmly and said four words lightly.

"It's autumn."

Yes, Tong'an is not a good time for spring in all seasons, when winter arrives, the ice body is cold-blooded, how can the army enter the mountains to suppress bandits.

If there is a lot of snow this year, and then there will be a heavy snow to close the mountain, unless the bandits in the mountains have no food and starve to death, otherwise the most elite border army of the Northern Jin Dynasty will be transferred to take the Chongshan bandits, after all, the five words "Chongshan is more precipitous" are not to say these plays.

Therefore, if the matter of suppressing bandits is not delayed until next year, the army must be quickly mobilized and take advantage of the winter to enter the mountains to fight, and strive to put down the bandits before the cold winter.

In fact, the army of bandits should have entered the mountains in the summer or even earlier, and now it is very abnormal to grind until the autumn and not pull out, if it were not for the repeated orders and cooperation of the Fucheng side, Yan Kui would have felt that the matter of suppressing bandits was yellow.

Now that Xu Yu mentioned this, Yan Kui suddenly realized that the army of bandits couldn't wait, and also, after raising for so long, if they couldn't enter the army because of winter, I am afraid that the few people in charge would not be able to escape the charge of delaying the fighter plane.

As soon as he thought of this, Yan Kui's eyes bloomed, and he grinned: "I said how Fucheng is so generous, it turns out that the war is approaching, and I want my brothers to sell their lives, or not, after all, I still have a strong knife and gun, and I didn't let us fight hard and feel cold........."

Xu Yu and Liu Mao were silent, if the militia was still the same grass platform team before, I am afraid that they would also do logistics support work, at most they would be sent to be cannon fodder if the offensive was not effective, and there were still young and strong civilian servants who were arrested and rushed ahead.

And now after the great victory in the rocky land, the Qingyuan militia has declared that it is greatly inspired, and the city has sent so many ordnance and food, the intention is obvious, nine times out of ten, the militia has to rush to the front line and fight with the bandits.

At that time, the end of the militia may not be as easy as cannon fodder, or even worse.........
