Chapter Twenty-Six: Training the Guards
Li Yan and Han Qian took a lot of effort to remove the large boulders, and the traces of newly filled soil were suddenly revealed.
Li Yan watched Han Qian digging up the soil, and felt apprehensive in his heart.
If Gou Si is really willing to take the secret underground, then he is really busy in vain.
"Childe, look!" Han Qian's excited voice came.
When Li Yan heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the corners of the two boxes that were being exposed under Han Qian's feet.
"Quick! Dig it out! Li Yan said excitedly.
After half an hour, Han Qian dug out five large boxes, and when they opened them, they were full of gold and jewelry, and Li Yan and Han Qian's eyes were straight when they saw it.
"Childe, look! So much~" Han Qian grabbed a handful of jewels in his hand and looked left and right, looking excited.
"Haha! I didn't expect the horse thief to have so much property, just ten thousand taels of gold! And these jewels from the Western Regions! Li Yan swallowed deeply, he had never seen so much gold.
Li Yan looked at these gold jewels, and thought in his heart that there was really no windfall and no wealth, and no horses and no night grass and no fat.
"Childe, what to do with so much property?" Han Qian put down the jewelry in his hand and turned around and asked.
"Let's get some back first, and the rest will be buried in a new pit, we don't need it now." Li Yan instructed Han Qian.
Before the sun was about to set, the two of them finally buried the boxes in a different place, only taking gold and jewelry, mainly because the boxes were too conspicuous, and it was inconvenient to carry.
When Li Yan and Han Qian returned to Xihai City, it was already completely dark.
A month has passed, the cavalry is thundering in training, and the infantry is getting familiar with various formations under the training of the hammer, but Li Yan doesn't have to worry too much.
Three days ago, Linghu Dezhao ordered people to send all the craftsmen and people that Li Yan wanted to Longshoujian, and Li Yan sent all the food and utensils purchased from Xihai City to Longshoujian.
Now that Han Qian is supervising in Longshoujian, Han Qian's affairs and Li Yan can rest assured. It's just that it's almost October now, and the heavy snow will fall in another month.
In Longshou Stream, Han Qian was watching the people build the smelting furnaces needed for iron smelting, and after half a month, Longshou Jian cast several tall iron-making furnaces.
"Hao Sheng, I'll leave it to you here. If something goes wrong, no one can eat and walk around! Han Qian looked at the man in front of him and admonished.
This man named Hao Sheng was sent by Linghu Dezhao, and the craftsmen and people in Longshoujian were all recruited by him, so Linghu Dezhao simply let him stay in Longshoujian.
"Captain Han rest assured, I understand!" Hao Sheng nodded and said.
Hao Sheng has been a member of the Linghu family since his grandfather, and he is also loyal to the Linghu family, otherwise Linghu Dezhao would not have arranged him here.
Hao Sheng knew what to ask and what not to ask, his task was to be optimistic about the hundreds of people in Longshoujian, and as for other things that he should not worry about.
Han Qian immediately went to meet Li Yan when he returned to Xihai City, he didn't go back to Xihai City for half a month, he stayed in Longshou Stream every day, and the mosquitoes were fed.
"Childe, I'm back!" Han Qian entered the camp and saluted Li Yan.
"Brother Han, have you arranged everything?" After Li Yan saw Han Qian coming back, he couldn't wait to ask.
"It's all arranged. After some time, we can try to see if we can make the first batch of pig iron. Han Qian looked around carefully and said in a low voice.
"Good! I'm going to pick out two hundred men from Captain Hammer to be under your command. At that time, it will be stationed near Longshou Stream, and it will be good to take care of it! Li Yan got up and said slowly.
"Yes! Son! Han Qian must guard the Longshou Stream and will not let an outsider break in! As soon as Han Qian heard that Li Yan had let him be stationed near Longshou Stream, he naturally understood the meaning.
"Hmmm! Brother Han, not only do you have to defend the Dragon Head Stream, but your training can't be left behind, I hope you will train them to be all tigers who can be ten tigers! Li Yan patted Han Qian's shoulder with his hand and encouraged.
"Childe, rest assured, Han Qian will definitely not live up to Childe's high expectations!" Han Qian said with a serious face.
After Han Qian withdrew from the camp, Li Yan took out a letter from the case, which was handed over to him by Linghu Dezhao, and Li Yan took out the letter and immediately burned it to ashes after reading it.
In the letter, Linghu Dezhao warned himself that he must be cautious and cautious, and he must not make a mistake. The other is that it is already autumn, and the Huns have sent a lot of troops on the border of Jiankang County, I am afraid that a big battle is inevitable, so that Li Yan is vigilant against Xihai County to prevent the Rouran people from taking advantage of the fire to rob again.
Linghu Dezhao also specifically mentioned in the letter that Li Yan's mother, Linghu and Xin'er, had moved from the dilapidated courtyard of the Liangwang Mansion to the mansion rewarded by the Liangwang Mansion last time.
Outside Xihai City, Li Yan couldn't help but nod as he watched the soldiers in the battalion training in full swing.
"Brother Iron Hammer, I'm going to select two hundred people from you in a while and hand them over to Captain Han Qian's command, no problem, right?" Li Yan said with a smile.
"General, I have no opinion on the hammer, but the general, you see, my hammer is just this bit of a belongings, is there some~~ hehe!" The hammer rubbed his hands together and looked at Li Yan with a smile on his face.
Li Yan turned around and kicked over, and scolded with a smile: "You guy, more than half of the sergeants in the entire Zhenbei Army are still crying poor, you look at the thundering brothers, are you so picky?" ”
"General, how can these people under me compare with Brother Lei? Two thousand cavalry! It's almost time to catch up with the camp in the north of the city. Hammer flashed to the side and muttered.
"So be it! How about giving you all the more than 200 horses you got from the last time you exterminated the horse thieves? Li Yan thought in his heart that the horses were still in the stable, so it was better to give the hammer.
"Thank you, General! Then I'm not welcome to hammer. Hammer grinned.
"Brother Han, go down and pick it!" Li Yan turned back to Han Qian and said.
Han Qian walked towards the sergeants who were training in the camp, looking at the tall and strong sergeants, Han Qian picked them out one by one, and the hammer standing beside Li Yan looked distressed.
After Han Qian selected enough two hundred people, Li Yan and Han Qian led two hundred people towards Longshou Stream.
In front of an unnamed valley not far from Longshou Stream, this will be the training ground for these people, and Li Yan wants an iron-blooded guard that can be of great use at a critical moment. So in the coming days, the pain that these two hundred sergeants will face will be ten or dozens of times more painful than before!
"Everyone, please be quiet, Captain Han was able to choose you today, which also means that you have a chance to become the strongest person in the Zhenbei Army." Li Yan looked at the sergeants who were talking to each other and said loudly.
As soon as Li Yan spoke, he suddenly fell silent, "However, I will have a word first, and the next training of Captain Han will be a nightmare in your life." If someone is scared and unwilling to quit, I could have given you a chance to return to the Zhenbei Army. Let's get started! Those who are willing to stay stand still, and those who want to exit stand on the right! ”
