Fengzhou Jun found a foothold in the pass and ate and drank, everyone was quite satisfied, but Li Yu and Liu Xingzuo were scared, they were both people from the Jin Kingdom, and they touched their consciences and said that the Jin Kingdom was really good to them, but Li Yu didn't greet him and moved his hand first, and kicked Jin Jun's ass hard, Liu Xingzuo was even more ruthless, and deceived people before leaving, Yue Tuo and Haoge scolded them for being ungrateful and not wronged at all, Li Yu estimated that Sibeile definitely wanted to arrest him back and whip him hard, Liu Xingzuo didn't have to think about it to know that Tiancong Khan had the heart to break his corpse into thousands of pieces, these two ungrateful guys encouraged each other with righteousness every day, in case Sibeile couldn't figure it out for a while, he asked them to settle accounts, and urged the soldiers to constantly strengthen the camp and widen the trenches, and the scout's reconnaissance range was expanded to forty miles, Liu Xingzuo was not at ease, and released Asari and Fei Yangwu's gang of Zhushen and asked them to set up an observation post near Yongping.

Bai Xianzhi found the object of venting, Liu Zhilun was scattered and the soldiers came back a lot, almost 3,000 people, but the officers ran away, Bai Xianzhi saw this group of chaotic people and felt ill intentions, and proposed to Liu Zhilun to train the brave, Liu Zhilun was asking for it, and immediately agreed. Of course, Bai Xianzhi would not personally take care of a group of ordinary people, he brought Man Zhu and Hou Shijie, who were eating idle meals, and asked them to take this miscellaneous army, and told them that they should not be polite to these ordinary people, and they must practice hard, lest they go to the battlefield in the future and give their lives in vain. Man Zhu and Hou Shijie didn't expect to be reused after only a few days, and they couldn't keep their mouths together, and took their brothers to run to the prey with murderous spirits, and since then the temporary school military field at the foot of the mountain has often cried wolves, Liu Zhilun's righteous and brave idle men and ruffians are not a few, no one dared to care in the past, and they fell into the hands of the veteran ruffians of Man Zhu and Hou Shijie, they can only be regarded as unlucky, leather whips and sticks are absolutely indispensable, and Liu Zhilun's miscellaneous soldiers are in good order for a few days, training, building camps, and digging ditches are all done well. Liu Zhilun himself felt that his soldiers had suddenly become honest.

Liu Zhilun is also busy now, training and fighting can be ignored, but thousands of people's food and grass, ordnance and military salaries can only be managed by him, this is all a matter of hard work, it will definitely not be easy, fortunately he found that there is such a strange thing in the Fengzhou army, this is a good helper, although he is a Yi person, but he has read books compared to the Ming Dynasty's Xiucai, and he has also done practical work, which is very easy to use, and Na Mu'er did not expect that he would have the opportunity to work with the Ming military department every day in his life, And this person is still the most learned Shu Jishi in the world, Liu Zhilun admires and is curious, almost inseparable from Liu Zhilun, even the posture of walking, the tone of speech is learning Liu Zhilun, Liu Zhilun is very satisfied with this fan, at the request of Na Mu'er, he received his apprenticeship, and also took the word for him to be reborn, Na Mu'er is happy to tell people everywhere that he has worshiped the Ming Shu Jishi as a teacher, and will call his Han name Wang Baozhu and the word new life in the future.

During this time, Li Yu was very popular in the Ming army, as soon as the gift package was sent, he became the loveliest person in the camp in Jizhou, and the generals of the towns received such a heavy gift in vain, and they were really a little embarrassed, the sincerity of being a soldier, everyone understands the truth of coming and going, everyone gave Li Yu a few salutes, Ningxia General You Shilu didn't even care about his identity, he had to invite Li Yu, a general, to his camp for a meal, and he couldn't push it off, so Li Yu had to agree.

When Li Yu arrived at the Chinese military camp of the Ningxia Army, You Shilu actually came out to greet him in person, and took Li Yu's hand into the Chinese army's big tent. Li Yu was taken aback when he entered the big tent, there were already several people waiting in the big tent, Li Yu remembered that these people should be the town marshal from the northwest, but the name did not match, and a tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and long hair sitting in the middle of the big tent should also be a handsome, but it seemed that he had never met, the man saw Li Yu looking at him, and greeted him with a smile in northern Shaanxi: "We are from our hometown, I am very familiar with the people of your Du family, and I also know your father Li Biao, all of you here are your own people, speaking of your elders, No need to be inhibited. ”

You Shilu introduced to Li Yu, this is You Shiwei, the chief soldier of Changping, and you have met several others - Wang Shiqin, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan Guannan, Yang Jiamo, the general soldier of Gansu, Yang Qi, the general soldier of Guyuan, and Wang Chengen, the chief soldier of Lintao, Li Yu saluted these marshals one by one, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, these people are all the commanders of a town with prominent status, what are they doing together with me, a little general?

Of course, You Shilu invited Li Yu to dinner, of course, there was a purpose, Liu Zhilun took Li Yu to camp outside Jizhou City, these battle-hardened Northwest Marshals secretly sent people to investigate, Li Yu's Datong Town Jinglu General Banner attracted their attention, when Qiu Hejia and Ma Shilong were still speculating about how Liu Zhilun had good luck, they had already judged seven or eight points of truth, You Shilu convened them for a small meeting, and agreed that this Jinglu General was the stupid Du family that their boss Du Wenhuan wrote to say, If this is the case, then this fool should be pulled into his own boat, so as not to cause trouble in the future, and You Shilu also reported this new situation to You Shiwei, the boss of the general commander of Changping in the northwest of Gyeonggi.

The Ming Dynasty has long implemented the selection of sides will be in the local area, the nearest promotion, a long time, coupled with the grace lineage, the family Ding private belonging, in the Jiajing, Wanli dynasties gradually formed more than ten generations of generals, and even a general at the same time, among which the Yulin guard will be like a cloud, the production of the most generals, those military achievements of the Yulin people to obtain the court official position, rewards at the same time, but also for the rise of their own family laid the foundation, such as the Wang family from Wang Bao, Zhang Chen from the Zhang family, Du Tong from the Du family, especially the first from the You family, Their influence extended to the border army of the five towns in the northwest and even other border towns, with a large number of family nephews and family members entering the army, the juniors of Yulin Jiangmen were more ambitious than their predecessors, and it became their daily routine to compete for power, fight against aliens, and expand their sphere of influence. After the change, the imperial court suppressed the Northwest Jiangmen with Yulin as the core, but this only made the Northwest Jiangmen more united, and forcibly squeezed out the Xiao family of Yan'anwei, another prominent Northwest General who obeyed the will of the imperial court and participated in the suppression of the Ningxia Mutiny.

There are troops from the five towns in the northwest in the camp in Jizhou, and naturally there will be the forces of the northwest generals, several northwest marshals led by You Shilu, plus the boss behind You Shiwei, and Wang Shiqin of the Yulin royal family secretly hugged together to oppose Qiu Hejia and Ma Shilong - Qiu Hejia is a civil official, they don't look down on him at all, although Ma Shilong is a person from Ningxia Wei, but this person is not from Jiangmen, and he was born in Beizhili and Liaodong, and has no relationship with Northwest Jiangmen, he is an outlier in their eyes, and Wu Zimian is also an outlier. He can't get along with the Northwest General, this Yulin General Soldier is a bag, without Yulin Jiangmen nodding, he can only command his family, although he tries to get close to the organization, but Yulin Jiangmen just doesn't like to take him to play.

The current camp in Jizhou is very strange, Ma Shilong, the prime minister's military affairs, still has to look at the faces of these military leaders, they don't nod Ma Shilong can't do anything, other Henan, Zhejiang, Sichuan and other towns and Ming troops can run to Qinwang It's good, they don't plan to fight at all, it's best to have the head of the Northwest Army against the prime minister, they can do nothing and mess around, the superintendent Qiu Hejia is so anxious that he jumps up and down to no avail, Yang Zhaoji, the former Yulin General Army and Prime Minister of Northwest Military Affairs, heard the news of the Jin Army's entry into the customs during the recuperation period in his hometown Yizhou, That is, he rushed to Beijing to serve, and was reactivated by the emperor, his qualifications were old and famous, and the imperial court sent him to assist Ma Shilong, but he also sighed when he saw this situation, he was a native of Shandong, and he couldn't afford to provoke this group of military leaders, so he took advantage of the opportunity of Santun Camp to reduce the Jin Ming Army anyway, and took his three hundred Jiading and some Shandong soldiers to Santun Camp, and never came back.

The camp in Jizhou did not send troops to provoke the Jin army, and the Jin army was not willing to fight the Ming army to the death, and the two sides were at peace with each other, this kind of situation of not dying and not living for a long time, everyone was used to it, just waiting for the Jin army to grab enough to get out of the customs, but Liu Zhilun and Li Yu came to Jizhou to make everyone a little worried, one of these two people is a nerd, the other is a brain problem, if the two of them go crazy and fight with the Jin army, this hard-won stable situation may be destroyed, and everyone will be dragged into the water at that time, realizing the seriousness of the problem, You Shilu must report to his boss - the recognized leader of the Northwest Jiangmen is Du Wenhuan, and in Du Wenhuan's absence, You Shiwei, who has a family background and remarkable military achievements, is the boss. You Shiwei received a letter from his younger brother and didn't take it seriously, but a few days later a shocking news came - according to the order of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, Liu Ce, the governor of Jiliao who retreated from Jizhou to Miyun to guard the imperial tomb, and his chief soldier Zhang Shixian were arrested and sentenced to death, You Shiwei felt scared, the emperor was furious and unreasonable, arresting and destroying whom, Liu Ce was nominally the governor of Jiliao, but he only took office in May last year, Yuan Chonghuan was a powerful person who grasped power and won the emperor's favor, Jiliao and Denglai towns were under Yuan Chonghuan's orders, how dare Liu Ce fight for power with him, Liu Ce can be in charge of the territory of Baoding, Zhending area, he is the governor of Jiliao in the official document of the Department of Tongzheng was also written as the governor of Baoding, this time Jiannu broke through the customs and entered, and Liu Ce has nothing to do with it, and Yuan Chonghuan entered the customs according to the will of your emperor to transfer the soldiers and horses of the king of Qin, Liu Ce and Zhang Shixian left Jizhou to Miyun according to his order, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he also ended up beheaded, so he You Shiwei was also guilty of retreating to Changping under the order of the Jiliao governor? You Shiwei couldn't sit still, greeted the Changping Governor Hou Sui, and ran to Jizhou with two hundred family members, he was already on the front line, and the emperor was always embarrassed to blame him.

You Shiwei told his accomplices when he arrived in Jizhou, this time the emperor is really angry, and he must not have an accident at this juncture, of course the Jin army can't fight, in fact, he can't beat it, even if people don't come to fight us, it's a blessing, but when the time is right, we must make a full posture, we can't let people grab the handle, the fool of the Du family must be caught in his hands, and he must not be allowed to cause trouble for us, and more importantly, let him work hard for us, and he can still be used at a critical time.

With You Shiwei's instructions, this group of people disregarded their faces and deigned to invite Li Yu to such a small general as a general to eat, and the dinner table was naturally a group of harmony, everyone spoke the Yulin dialect of northern Shaanxi, and Li Yu also chatted with everyone in the Yulin dialect that he learned from Li Huai.

You Shiwei said that Du Shuai sent letters to all families, saying that you are the leader of the next generation of Yulin people, and ask us elders to help you more, don't worry, we will definitely help you, but you also have to listen to us, young people are still easy to make mistakes.

You Shilu said very seriously, Du Shuai said that you lost Liaodong when you were full of Hou to Guangning to investigate after the Guangning War, and my second brother and I were both leading troops in Liaodong at that time, and you were eighty percent of you were soldiers in our army, so you can be regarded as a member of our You family.

"How can you say that Yuzi is also a member of your family, at that time, Lao Hou (Hou Shilu) and I were also leading troops in Liaodong, and he may also be a member of our Wang family," Wang Shiqin was immediately dissatisfied, sighed and continued, "It's a pity that the battle was too bad at that time, a group of soldiers lost a group of soldiers, and I couldn't find it out if I wanted to, Yuzi was lucky, and finally came back alive, how many Yulin children died in Liaodong!" ”

"Yuzi, do you want to fight Jiannu? If you dare to fight, Uncle will help you fight. You Shilu thought of his eldest brother You Shigong who died in Shenyang, and couldn't help but have a little red circles in his eyes.

Li Yu hung his head and said: "I want to fight, but I don't dare to fight, my thousand people are the pillars of Fengzhou, and Fengzhou can't afford to lose!" And I am scared when I think of the four Baylors of the Jin Kingdom, and I can't beat any of the four Baylors of the old Khan. ”

"Uncle is the same as you, if you want to fight, you don't dare to fight, it's not that Uncle is afraid of death, but our soldiers are unwilling to work for the imperial court," You Shiwei also sighed, pointed to several northwest marshals and said, "You ask them how they got to Gyeonggi, 17,000 elites, more than half of them ran away on the road, and the rest were dragged here by them even coaxing and tricking, how can this battle be fought?" Those bullshit ministers don't go to the battlefield or barracks, they live a good life of spending all day and drinking, pampering wives and beautiful concubines, but they don't see the soldiers who have no food and clothing, pawn wives and sell children, this is how can we bring the soldiers to the battlefield, Yuzi, we don't treat you as an outsider, now your strength is stronger than ours, you have more than a thousand elite cavalry, but we town commanders can only take out to fight our family, this battle really can't be fought! ”

"Uncle, how can this be? Then we will watch the Jin army wreak havoc on the common people in the pass. Li Yu asked with wide eyes in surprise.

"Uncle can't help it, what I can help you is to tell you the truth, lest you fall into the trap of those civil servants, they rely on coaxing the emperor to live, full of rhetoric, the credit for winning is theirs, and it is us who defeat and die, the words of this group of bastards must not be believed, but don't be discouraged, when you can fight, our elders will also help you."

Li Yu was silent for a while, and said seriously: "Uncle, I listen to you. ”

You Shiwei and several handsome men looked at each other and smiled, this kid is very sensible, not really stupid.

In the middle of February, the holy purpose of the Beijing division arrived at the Jizhou camp in everyone's expectation, the officers of the Jizhou camp gathered in the military camp to listen to the internal supervisor read the holy decree, the emperor said in the holy decree, Zunhua victory "I am very comforted", specially allocated 10,000 taels of silver to reward, to boost the heart of the army, Fengzhou Yibing thousands of miles of Qin Wang, his line is also loyal, his heart is commendable, and the Jinglu staff general Li Yu is the deputy general of Jingyu, still under the old subordinate, the money and grain, ordnance order of the division from the preferential allocation, the right attendant of the military department Liu Zhilun stayed in Jizhou, assisted Jizhou military affairs, Jianyi new defeat, It is bound to decline, stationed in the towns of Jizhou, the division of the king of Qin should not be arrogant, but must be ********, build and destroy the border, the emperor's grace is vast, and the day of success will not hesitate to add official titles.

After the decree was read, the inner eunuch who passed the decree turned around and left, he knew what would happen below, sure enough, a group of guerrillas, Du Si scolded, the eunuchs around the emperor are not afraid of the big officials, they are afraid of the rough billet of these officials, the officers are really angry, everyone finally made some military achievements, the official is not promoted, and the money can not get a few, the head of a Jiannu in Liaoxi is fifty taels, and the black market is more valuable, 10,000 taels of silver pass through the internal supervision and the military department, and the maximum is 6,000 taels to the camp, and there can be a few sons in everyone's hands, the honesty of being a soldier can't be bullied casually!

Li Yu originally thought that he could make three or five thousand taels of silver, and specially asked Meng Ke to come with a sack, and after listening to the holy decree, he knew that his wishful thinking had failed, and others did not get benefits, so he was promoted alone, and even he had to be scolded if he didn't get it, so he hurriedly slipped out of the crowd and avoided everyone's sight.

"Congratulations, Admiral." Under one of the eaves on the side, two people were squatting on the ground and watching the excitement, when they saw Li Yu coming over, and one of them, a man in his early thirties, greeted him.

"Lao Cao, don't pantothenic acid, my deputy general is a fart, it's better to give silver, you give me three thousand taels of silver, and I will let you be this deputy general." Li Yu smiled and walked over and replied, this man's name is Cao Wenzhao, a guerrilla from Shanhaiguan, a native of Datong, Shanxi, Li Yu inadvertently ran into him and chatted a few words when he entered Jizhou to do business, his northern Jin dialect is similar to the Fengzhou accent, so he climbed into a fellow countryman's relationship, the old Cao people are kind and have some skills, Li Yu has a good relationship with him, another man is often with Cao Wenzhao, Li Yu also knows, is from Shanhaiguan Dusi, called Zuo Liangyu, a native of Linqing, Shandong.

"Lord Adjutant General, the official position given by the imperial court is not something that can be allowed casually, you will be promoted to the general army with this in the future, if I have your official luck, I will wake up laughing in my dreams." Zuo Liangyu interjected with a smile on the side.

"I'm not uncommon with any deputy generals and general soldiers, this thing is useless to me, Lao Zuo, I think you are an official fan." Li Yu had a bad image of this Zuo Liangyu, and immediately pushed him back.

"I'm a poor soldier, I can't give you the money, you can keep this deputy general," Cao Wenzhao said with a smile, twisting his face and scolding his nephew Cao Bianjiao, "Bolt, why are you smoking with Meng Ke again, can you afford to smoke that thing?" See if I can't kill you. ”

Meng Ke and Cao Bianjiao were getting together not far away to light a cigarette, and when they heard Cao Wenzhao's scolding, Cao Bianjiao was startled, pulled Meng Ke up and ran away.

Cao Wenzhao turned his face and sighed and said: "Actually, we are all poor and panicked, we originally wanted to borrow your light to earn some money to support our family, but now we are in the soup again, and I don't know if the emperor really has no money or fake no money." ”

"Phew, the emperor has raised so many women and eunuchs, can he still have any money? I don't believe it! Li Yu said a little resentfully.
