Yang Keshi and Wang Sanmad took care of the people, and the two thousand black iron troops stood in four teams on the school field, waiting for Zhou Nan to arrive. Who would have thought that a troop of cavalry in full armor would rush over on horseback, and it seemed that there were about 2,000 people.

Yang Keshi was a little strange, last night he clearly said that he and Wang Sanmad led the two thousand Black Iron Army, why did there be another team of people overnight? Moreover, Zhou Nan came with this cavalry, could it be that Zhou Nan couldn't sit still and wanted to go together?

When he got closer, Zhou Nan got off the horse and brought a young general to Yang Keshi and Wang Sanmad, and Yang Keshi saw clearly that the young general who came was Agu Zhe of the Xi clan. Yang Keshi stayed in Xianghe City to train the new army at that time, and he didn't have much deal with Aguzhe. I only met a few times later.

Zhou Nan briefly told Yang Keshi about the fact that Agu Zhe led more than 20,000 elite soldiers of the Xi tribe to come, and said that the Xi people were good at fighting in the mountains, so Agu Zhe took the initiative to ask for battle, and finally Zhou Nan's face was pale, and he said to Yang Keshi, "Li Rider has 5,000 men and horses, not to be underestimated." Originally, he was worried about the lack of troops, but now there are more than 20,000 people brought by Aguzhe, whether it is to defend the city or to advance eastward, it is more than enough, and the most important thing now is to get rid of the rebellious army as soon as possible to relieve the great trouble. This change of plan is to get rid of the rebellious army as soon as possible, you and Brother Gao must lead these 4,000 men and horses, if there is a battle in the mountains, even if it is handed over to Agu Zhe's Xi soldiers, each has its own strengths. ”

Yang Keshi saw that Zhou Nan said solemnly, and replied with a straight face: "Da Lang, although rest assured, with these 4,000 elite soldiers in his hands, Li Che's life will not be long!" ”

Zhou Nan nodded, turned around and walked to the high platform in front of the school field, looked at the neat Black Iron Army and Xi Jun in the audience, and said loudly, "I think you have all heard, today is the Shangyuan Festival, and I want to reward the army." You can't drink the stewed broth this time, and when you get rid of Li Che's chaotic army, I will reward you alone when I return to the city! ”

Seeing that Zhou Nan valued it so much, the four thousand soldiers below all raised their iron spears in their hands and shouted loudly, "Get rid of the rebellious army and repay the horses!" ”

Yang Keshi shouted loudly below, "Kill the rebels, receive the reward, and drink the broth!" ”

The 4,000 soldiers raised their arms together and shouted, "Kill the rebels, receive the reward, drink the broth!" ”

"Let's go!" Zhou Nan ordered on and off the stage.

A group of cavalry troops stepped out of the city in an orderly manner, Zhou Nan stepped down, came to Yang Keshi's side, took Yang Keshi aside, and said in a low voice, "Brother Yang, this time I sent 5,000 troops, and there are explosive arrows to help, don't get rid of Li Che as soon as possible and get rid of the rebellion." Don't just worry about yourself and have a good time. ”

Yang Keshi understood Zhou Nan's concerns, and said briskly, "Da Lang, don't underestimate people, when I was in the Song camp, I also had 5,000 men and horses, and I naturally knew how to use the army." You can rest assured! ”

"Don't worry, I'll hand over 5,000 men and horses to you, you don't want to fall into your own name." Zhou Nan said with a smile, "If you get rid of Li Che, you don't have to come back, I will let the fourth brother go to find you, and then get rid of Ma Fangyu who fled south." ”

As long as it is a war, Yang Keshi likes it, and said with a smile, "Da Lang just waits in the city, at most ten days, at least five days, there will be these two good news!" After speaking, he got on the horse, bowed his hand to Zhou Nanyi, and went out of the city with the army.

Zhou Nan rode on his horse and slowly walked towards the courtyard where he lived. The streets, alleys, near and far, were full of people running around happily. People who knew each other saluted Zhou Nan, and Zhou Nan also bowed slightly. However, Zhou Nan prefers those people who don't know him, and he can look at the various beings in front of him as a behind-the-scenes person, and see their joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Every time at this time, Zhou Nan is even happier, and his efforts have not been in vain.

Although it was still daytime, I couldn't see the illuminations, but it was dazzling enough. Some people only hang the most ordinary big and red round lanterns, some are hanging a row of small square lanterns on the gate, and some are made of red, green, yellow, pink, and all kinds of colored paper to make up the lanterns, which are colorful and eye-catching. Occasionally, you can hear the "crackling" sound of firecrackers in the alleys.

If it is in Yanjing City, it must be more lively, more beautiful, and more unforgettable. The most important thing is that there are two people in Yanjing City who make him think about him day and night, presumably they are also missing him, right? In the past year, I owe them too much, and when I recover Pingzhou, I will stay in Yanjing and accompany them for a while. I also said that I would use a magic car to take them to the sea to see the moon, this matter should be remembered, don't look back and forget......

Zhou Nan thought about his romantic sea trip, and returned to his residence in a leisurely manner, and Li Shi then came to the door.

Li Shi came to report on the grain and grass and the selection of elite soldiers. Although Li Shi is a scribe, his personality is resolute. After returning last night, he found someone to search in the Pingzhou Army camp outside the city overnight. Sure enough, these Pingzhou troops were in a hurry, and they sneaked away, and they didn't bring grain and grass with them. Li Shi asked people to transport these grains and grass to the city treasury one by one, register them and put them in the warehouse. In this way, when the supplies of the four battalions outside the city, including of course Li Pei's battalion in the east, were all transported, and the accounts were accounted for according to the books, plus the balance of the previous treasury books, the results were quickly obtained. Now there are about 2,600 stone of grain, if Xi Bing did not come, it would be enough for 20,000 people in the city to eat for two months, but now the number of people has tripled out of thin air, and it is only enough to eat for half a month. The copper money in the library, Zhou Nan is not distressed, and Li Shi doesn't care. But the food is not good, so Zhou Nan must be told so that he can be prepared.

"Well, half a month...... That's pretty much enough. "Zhou Nan roughly calculated, about ten days Gao Yuan, Yang Keshi they should come back, then he will be Gao Yuan, Yang Keshi, lead the army eastward, Pingzhou Road is not comparable to the general Thorn Shizhou, although Pingzhou Road belongs to the jurisdiction of Nanjing Road, but Pingzhou has a special topography, is a military town of Daliao, stationed in the imperial court soldiers and horses. Since there is a garrison, there must be a military food depot. While recovering the states and counties along the way, they seized the grain depot to replenish the army's rations.

In this way, there is no need to eat up the grain and grass in Zunhua City, and there is no need to worry about the grain and grass of the army marching eastward, so Zhou Nan feels that the food is quite loose.

"How's the matter with the selection of the best soldiers?" Knowing that he had just started to select soldiers and horses, Zhou Nan still asked casually.

"With General Tao, General Shi, and General Di and Li Er, it went well. It's just that there are too many cuts, and although they can get a field after returning home, and there are still two copper coins to settle down, there are still many people who are willing to stay. Li Shi said embarrassedly.

"Then save more and keep more, you are up to you in this matter, you don't have to ask me. I was about to send a letter to Yanjing, asking them to send officials over so that they could march east with the army. At that time, Li Hanlin will be invited to accompany him. Zhou Nan wanted to discuss with Li Shi about the land law, but seeing that Li Shi had a lot of things today, he didn't say anything.

"Lord of the village, a letter sent by the princess." A pro-soldier walked in and handed a thick letter to Zhou Nan.
