In the past few days, there has been an atmosphere of parting in the Shanggu County Guard's Mansion, and the day of the departure of General Li Guang, who has been the county guard in Shanggu for two years, has been set, just tomorrow morning.

In the afternoon of that day, a horse came from the military camp of the upper valley, went straight to the county guard's mansion, stopped in front of the door, handed over the horse to the subordinates, and without notice, went directly into the mansion and headed for the meeting room.

The person who came was dressed in a red robe and black armor, heroic, and the masculinity between his eyebrows did not know how many women had been intoxicated, and the ring-headed knife on his waist shimmered in the sun, this ring-headed knife that had accompanied him for a long time had beheaded countless enemies who had invaded the Han Realm, and had also commanded the Shanggu cavalry countless times to launch a charge symbolizing victory and glory against the enemy. He is not a very special armor, but it is the battle flag that the sergeants and soldiers in every major battle strive to look forward to and follow, and the cavalry of the Shanggu military camp know that where this armor goes, it is where victory lies.

However, today, the owner of this Xuanjia Ring Knife did not seem to be very heroic, on the contrary, there seemed to be a lingering strange emotion in his eyes. Although this emotion was deliberately concealed by him, the feelings from the depths of his heart could not be concealed so easily.

Li Guang, who was waiting in the living room, sat upright, his waist was straight, and his face was solemn - Li Guang, who had been a soldier for most of his life and had been on the battlefield for most of his life, was accustomed to this standard military attitude, even if he was now a long-term winner of the Han Dynasty, he was a character who made the Huns fearful, and he never slackened in his own style.

"General." Someone entered the door and saluted Li Guang.

Seeing the visitor, Li Guang, who had been immersed in thought, put away his thoughts and showed a slightly relieved smile to the visitor, "Sit down, Qin Lang." ”

Qin Cheng sat down behind the case on the side, and before he could ask, Li Guang said first: "How is the affairs of the military camp busy?" ”

"Everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and everything can be carried out smoothly when the new soldiers enter the camp." Qin Cheng said, "But for the next cavalry formation affairs, my subordinates have an immature idea, and I don't know if it will work, and I have to ask the general to check it." ”

"You just have to say it." Li Guangdao.

"If the new soldiers enter the camp this time, if 7,000 people are selected to fill the cavalry department, and there are still more than 3,000 cavalry in the previous military camp, and a team of 10,000 iron cavalry must be trained, the subordinates have been thinking about it for a long time, and they still feel that it is a little inappropriate. Because the new pawns account for most of them, and the number of old pawns is not enough, it is still quite difficult to train an iron cavalry within a year or two, so the subordinates want to change the composition of this number. Qin Cheng said.

"Are you trying to increase the number of pawns?" Li Guang asked.

"Yes, I want 5,000 old soldiers, in addition to the existing 3,000 old soldiers in the military camp, my subordinates also need 2,000 old soldiers, and these old soldiers, my subordinates plan to transfer them in various counties and towns." Qin Cheng said.

Li Guang pondered for a while and said, "This is a bold idea. After that, he actually laughed out loud, "If you are not bold, it is not you Qin Cheng!" Okay, the old man supports you! After that, he paused for a moment, and then said: "After transferring most of the cavalry from the counties and towns below, how do you plan to arrange the defense of the counties and towns?" ”

Hearing Li Guang ask this, Qin Cheng unconsciously showed a confident smile, just like every time he came up with a good plan on the battlefield, he said: "Fortify, warn, fortify the wilderness." ”

"Select and send capable sentry cavalry to expand the range of swimming, disguise themselves as various characters, spy on the enemy's situation, and once they find an abnormality, they will immediately send out an alarm signal, which is an early warning. Fortifying the fort is to strengthen the fort and enhance its defense capability in the face of the Hun cavalry. Once the Huns invaded, they did not get the order to attack, and they all quickly retreated to the fortress and defended them, and they could not attack easily, so that the Huns could only return in vain. Persist like this for a year or two, and when the iron cavalry is trained, it will be the time when my Shanggu Han army swept through the desert! Qin Cheng said one by one.

Li Guang nodded, he naturally knew that Qincheng was borrowing from Li Mu's practice in the Warring States Period, in fact, after Li Guang himself came to Shanggu to serve as the county guard, he did the same, but it was not as strong as Qincheng, after all, Li Guang didn't think about facing the entry of the Huns and not attacking for a year or two.

At this time, Li Guang and Qin Cheng naturally could not predict that in the next year or two, the Huns did not think of invading Shanggu on a large scale at all, because when Qin Cheng was concentrating on training iron cavalry, the Huns were also planning a big war that was no less ambitious than Qin Cheng's ambition of "sweeping the desert". To put it bluntly, in fact, at this time, a mere Shanggu was no longer in the eyes of the Huns.

At this time, Li Guang naturally had no reason to disagree with Qin Cheng's opinion, he thought about it, stood up, and said to Qin Cheng: "For more than half a year, you have never disappointed the old man, but have surprised one after another. The old man was not mistaken, you were born for this battlefield, and you are destined to make a good contribution on the battlefield of Han and Hungary. Now that I see that you can finally take charge on your own, the old man is very pleased, and I can rest assured that all the things in Shanggu will be handed over to you, I believe that you will not disappoint the old man! ”

"It's all cultivated by generals, and Qin Cheng doesn't dare to take credit." Qincheng Zhengsedao.

"Okay, you don't have to be humble with the old man anymore, now you and I are His Majesty's feudal generals, even if you are on an equal footing, you don't have to claim to be subordinate in front of me in the future." Li Guang said with relief, "It's really a pleasure to be able to bring out a soldier like you, haha!" ”

In the face of praise, especially in person who is recognized by himself, Qin Cheng has always been at a loss for what to do, at this time, he really doesn't know what else to do except accompany Li Guang to smile.

The two chatted for a long time about the affairs in the barracks, and Li Guang also told Qin Cheng for the first time a lot about his early years in the army, and before he knew it, it was dark, and Li Guang asked Qin Cheng to go back to the barracks, "Now you are the chief general of the three armies, and your words and deeds must be in line with the identity of the main general. ”

"Qin Cheng understands." Qin Cheng hugged his fist.

Li Guang sighed suddenly, and said with feelings: "Let's go, leaving Shanggu, it's also a good thing for the old man." ”

Qin Cheng was stunned and puzzled: "What does the general mean by this?" ”

Li Guang laughed twice, and said directly: "It's not because of you, since you became a hussar captain, and the old man has such a smart and clever subordinate who behaves in a good way, he has unconsciously developed the habit of relying on you, and he doesn't bother to use his brain anymore!" Otherwise, the last time I faced the Wuhuan army, I still needed you to come back, and the old man would have already packed them up and obeyed them!

Isn't it a good thing that I'm away from Shanggu this time, without you in front of you, out of sight and out of mind? ”

Qin Cheng was dumbfounded for a while, what Li Guang said was indeed the truth.

When I was young, everyone had momentum and passion to burn their wisdom, and when they sat in a certain position and had the subordinates around them to give advice to themselves, they could save their worries, and once the habit of laziness breeded, they gradually corroded their wisdom. And this, in the end, is just ruining a generation of famous generals. This is also the reason why many names will be folded in the hands of younger generations.

And now, the same is true for Li Guang. However, Li Guang discovered this problem in time and was able to raise it without hesitation.

When Li Guang sent Qincheng to the gate of the county guard's mansion, it was the time when the moon was mottled, Qinghui jumped on the ancient bricks, the dark door panel throbbed with the weight of history, and the bluestone street stretched the figure of pedestrians.

Two Han army generals in military uniforms said goodbye in front of the door, Qin Cheng saw that Li Guang's expression was a little hesitant, and he wanted to speak and stopped, so he naturally knew what Li Guang wanted to say, so he said: "General rest assured, his subordinates will be in the barracks for a day, and the young general will be safe." ”

Li Guang smiled, sighed lightly, and said in a calm tone: "Li Dang is not a lot now, and the old man has nothing to worry about, so don't treat him differently, just treat him as an ordinary sergeant." ”

Qin Cheng didn't know that Li Guang was worried about Li Kang in his heart, so he hugged his fists and promised, and didn't say anything.

After Qin Cheng got on his horse and left, Li Guang stood in front of the door for a long time, and finally sighed, and then straightened his spirit, and said to himself: "The Han Dynasty has many talents, how can the Huns have an arrogant life for how long?" ”

The Shanggu Qiansang military camp is brightly lit, the sergeants on the guard tower are standing very upright, and the silhouette under the moonlit night is particularly masculine, with a little mysterious taste, if ordinary people see it, they can't help but have some admiration.

Qin Cheng stepped into the barracks, and when he arrived at the hussar tent, he asked Qin Qingzhi to call the military captains in the barracks, and some generals who did not reach the military rank but were comparable to ordinary military captains after this meritorious service.

After a while, Qin Cheng was still looking at the military map hanging in the military tent, and the generals came one after another.

Liu Mu, the deputy general of the cavalry command, Junhou Ji Zhu, Ma Dashan, etc., as well as Le Yi, Li Kang, and Shanjia who just arrived at the barracks today.

"Qingzhi, you can come in too!" Qin Cheng greeted Qin Qingzhi, who was standing outside the tent, Qin Qingzhi heard the call, and when he entered the tent, he still wondered why such a high-ranking general would let himself enter the tent, which was something he had never encountered before.

Qin Cheng saw that all the soldiers had arrived, and he didn't greet him, so he said directly: "Three days later, the new soldiers will enter the camp, is there still enough place for your preparations?" ”

All the generals are ready.

"This time, 5,000 new soldiers will be transferred to the cavalry department, and the following arrangements will be made for the 10,000 cavalry now: the cavalry veterans will take the school as the department, the song as the school, and so on. The new and old cavalry are all sergeants of the new battalion of cavalry, and the new battalion has one heavy cavalry and one light cavalry; 4,000 heavy cavalry, 6,000 light cavalry, Ma Dashan is the heavy cavalry general, commanding all the heavy cavalry, Ji Zhu is the light cavalry general, commanding 6,000 light cavalry. Le Yi, Li Kang, and Shanjia each served as captains in the light and heavy cavalry, and the general was the general of the hussar and commanded the whole army, and Liu Mu was still the deputy general! Can the generals have doubts? "Qincheng Road.

"I have no objection!" The generals promised.

After discussing some more things, Qin Cheng asked the generals to retreat, leaving Qin Qingzhi alone.

"Do you know why I'm keeping you in the tent?" Qin Cheng asked Qin Qingdao.

"My subordinates don't know about this." Qin Qingzhi said sincerely.

"In the future, whenever there is a military discussion, I will still let you sit in on it, and it is up to you how much you can understand. Alright, you go down! Qin Cheng rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"The subordinates retired." Qin Qingzhi hugged his fists and promised, and when he retreated, his heart couldn't help but beat suddenly.

In the middle of the night, Qin Cheng went up to the watchtower of the Chinese army alone, raised his eyes, the lights were dim, the four fields were silent in his ears, and in the dark, Qin Cheng stood with a knife and stood for a long time in the cold wind.

This military camp, which took half a year, finally stood at the top.

The highest place means power and responsibility; Unexpectedly freedom, but also bondage.

Looking up to the northwest, Sirius twinkles incessantly.

……

The next day, Li Guang and his adjutant general Li Xi bid farewell to the Shanggu military camp and left for Chang'an in both directions. Qin Cheng led the senior generals of the army to see him off for thirty miles and returned.

On the same day, Qin Cheng took office in the Qiansangcheng County Guard, officially carried out the affairs of the Shanggu County Guard, practiced civil affairs, and commanded all the Han troops in Shanggu.

Two days later, the new soldiers of Shanggu entered the camp, and Qin Cheng ordered the Qiansang military camp to select 5,000 soldiers and fill them into the cavalry department of the Qiansang military camp.

In another two days, the renovation of Qincheng's small residence "Heavenly Wolf Residence", which is only one street away from the county guard's mansion, was completed, and Bai Xinxin and Xiao Rong'er officially moved in, so far, Qincheng finally has its own home in this era.

On this day, Qin Cheng was busy with various affairs in the county guard's mansion, and rode back to the "Heavenly Wolf Residence" alone, and after entering the hospital, he didn't have time to take off his armor, let Bai Xinxin make tea, and went to the living room alone.

At this time, there was a young businessman wrapped in a mink fur sitting in the living room, drinking tea, and when he saw Qin Cheng coming in, he didn't raise his head, but said without being salty: "The county guard's tea does have a unique flavor to drink, tsk, especially when this county guard is still surnamed Qin." ”

Qin Cheng sat in the room, ignoring the ridicule in this person's words, and said lightly: "I'll let you taste the tea brewed by your sister-in-law later, it will be even more flavorful." ”

When the man heard this, he was curious: "When are you two going to do something?" ”

"Wait until you're done with this paragraph. Now that I have just taken office, and it coincides with the arrival of new soldiers in the camp, the cavalry is a critical period of development, and I really have no time to do this, so I can only let it go for a while. "Qincheng Road.

"Why is the eldest husband in trouble without a wife, this matter is not in a hurry, take your time." The man said, "You're going to have a lot of wives and concubines anyway." ”

At this time, Bai Xinxin entered the house, followed by a few servants holding tea-making utensils, and Xiao Rong'er. When the man saw Bai Xinxin, he was not rude, and hurriedly got up and said, "Mrs. Sister-in-law." ”

"Nangong doesn't need to be polite, you two just talk." Bai Xinxin and Xiao Rong'er went to the side to make tea for the two.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Qin Cheng said to Nangong Shang.

"The main thing is that now that you have become a county guard, and I should have prepared almost everything, as long as your government approves it, I can do things." Nangong Shang said, "But there is still one thing missing." ”

"Poor?"

"Yes, it's a bad man." Nangong Shang Zhengse said, "There is nothing wrong with the clerks of the Chamber of Commerce, these are all famous figures, but the people who secretly cooperate with the action or the security force of the Chamber of Commerce are still not enough." You also know that once the Chamber of Commerce is established, it will inevitably touch the jobs of many people, and when the time comes, it will definitely be stumbling by others. ”

"Don't worry, the people have already arranged it, and I will arrange it for you from the army in the next two days. Nominally, these people are the ordinary forces that protect the Chamber of Commerce, and they are not afraid of others grabbing my pigtails on the table. Qin Cheng said, "But these people can also help you in the early stage, and in the later stage, if you want the Chamber of Commerce to develop steadily, you still have to prepare manpower yourself." ”

"I know this, which chamber of commerce doesn't have a large group of swordsmen as bodyguards?" Nangong Shang said, "During the Warring States Period, the Wei State Bai Chamber of Commerce only had a hundred and ten first-class swordsmen, and my ambition was smaller, after all, the world was different, but dozens of swordsman guards still had to be pulled up." ”

"Naturally." Qin Cheng said, "After all, your Chamber of Commerce is not just as simple as making money, but also the intelligence work." Now the most lacking thing in the military camp is the desert map, if the chamber of commerce can get the map out, the day when the iron cavalry is completed, it will be the end of the Huns. ”

"You just put your heart in your stomach, it's a big deal that I don't want to give up my life, and I want to poke a hole in the sky for the Huns." When Nangong Shang said this, his eyes flashed with a scorching light.

"With you, that's it." Qin Cheng said with a smile.

At this time, Bai Xinxin's tea had just finished boiling, and Xiao Rong'er brought a cup to Qin Cheng and Nangong Shang. When Qin Cheng and Nangong Shang were talking, Bai Xinxin, who was focused on making tea, didn't raise his head, although the content of the conversation between the two was particularly hot for any outsider.

"Good tea!" Nangong Shang exclaimed.

"You should say good tea art." Qin Cheng corrected.

The two laughed, which made Bai Xinxin smile a little proudly.

"I haven't seen Le Yi for a long time, how is this guy now?" Nangong Shang put down the teacup and asked.

"I was injured last time, but it's fine, this time he has a young lord, it's when the spring breeze is proud, and now he is also a captain." Qin Cheng said with a smile.

"This guy is a piece of war material, haha!" Nangong Shang listened to it and laughed.
