When the Licheng sentry left, the entire Bei'an army seemed to be covered with a layer of obstacles by the order, which was so dull that people couldn't breathe, and the tent was filled with life, depressing and eroding, Lin Xiu sat behind the low table, looking at the reward on the order, without a trace of joy at all.

"General... Lord Changshi, Su Yilang, Han Caoyan, what's wrong with you? Why can't you say anything? ”

Huang Qi was unreasonable, and broke the silence with a loud voice, Lin Xiu put down the instruction, rubbed his face vigorously, and said: "Wan Qiliang, Su Wen, Han Mo, Tang Chuanwen stay, and the others go out!" ”

Hearing this, Huang Qi, Li Hu, Pei Changfeng and other generals left, and Tang Chuanwen thought for a while, and said: "General, I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, if the new emperor of Zhongdu succeeds to the throne, the prince's romance has been broken, and the three kings will definitely compete for power, and the subordinates feel that they must strengthen the defense of Nan'an County and Yujiabao as soon as possible to guard against the Dongzhou army!" ”

"It's time to step up your defenses!" Lin Xiu responded, and he looked at Wan Qiliang: "How is the training of the Chinese army's new service?" How many people can be prepared? ”

"Back to the general's words, there are currently 6,000 new soldiers in the Chinese army, divided into six schools, including four infantry schools and two bow and crossbow schools!"

"Six school trains... With the addition of the cavalry, the Bei'an Army has more than 10,000 combatable soldiers! Lin Xiu paced back and forth to himself, and after he thought carefully for a while, he said suspiciously to Tang Chuanwen and Han Mo: "What do you think... With the current situation, how long will it take for the Dongzhou Army to get windy? ”

"Two months!" Han Mo gave this number: "General, the new emperor will succeed to the throne, and he will inevitably reward the generals of the army in various places, even if the Dongzhou Army had an unscrupulous situation before and wants to take advantage of the time to expand its rule, but if Jianghuai and Hexi do not move, with Bian Ancheng's old ghost temperament, they will definitely not move!" ”

"General, my subordinates think that at most ten days, if they can... Troops should be sent to the east now! Tang Chuanwen gave a completely different answer, which made Han Mo unhappy: "Tang Changshi, there is no military disaster and war at present, if the Bei'an army mobilizes and dispatches troops on a large scale without permission, it will bring trouble to the general!" ”

"It's better to have a tongue than to be caught off guard!"

Tang Chuanwen said stiffly: "General, at the moment, we really have no evidence of news to show that the Dongzhou Army intends to touch the northern Xinjiang, but Bian Xi has attacked Nan'an County several times, this is a fact, now Captain Zhao Yuan has defeated it and temporarily ensured the stability of the Nan'an territory, the Dongzhou Army seems to be motionless, but in fact it is brewing a bigger war, they are waiting for the Jianghuai wind to rise, as long as the Jianghuai wind moves, the Dongzhou Army will inevitably take the opportunity of going south to the emperor to enter the north of Xinjiang in the west... Besides, Jianghuai is more than 800 miles away from here, and if there is really any war, we will not know for a while, so our subordinates think that we should transfer troops to Nannan'an County and Yujiabao as soon as possible, and take the first step to take precautions. ”

Under Tang Chuanwen's strong suggestion, Lin Xiu adopted his military strategy, but before leaving the army, Lin Xiu took advantage of the night to return to Linshui Village.

After half a month, Lin Xiu went home to make Lin Mao, Zhang and others happy, but Lin Xiu had something in his heart, so after a short farewell to his parents, he came directly to his courtyard.

Chen Shuling was overjoyed when she heard that Lin Xiu had returned, but Lin Xiu's first sentence was not to ask her: "How is the situation of the county lord?" ”

"The county lord is already fine, but she doesn't go out of her small courtyard gate at all!"

Chen Shuling sensed that there was something wrong, but she remembered the woman's way, so she didn't ask a word, and when Xiao Yue'er came to announce the bathing matters, Lin Xiuwan rejected Chen Shuling's intentions.

"Madam, when I come back tonight, I want to send the county lord away as soon as possible, so I can't accompany you!"

"The concubine understands!" Chen Shuling's reaction was very soft, Lin Xiu felt guilty, and said: "I will go out this time, I am afraid that I will not return in a few months, the size of the family, it is all up to you, Mrs. ”

"The concubine will know! It's just..."Chen Shuling was slightly worried: "Brother Xiu, the concubine knows that she shouldn't ask... But... Didn't you just come back from the slaughter of the rebels? There is no war within a hundred miles of the city, why do you still want to leave? ”

Lin Xiu pondered for a while, and said, "Madam, Emperor Xia An is going west, and the new Emperor Xia Wu Emperor will succeed to the throne, this day... It's going to change... For the sake of the stability of our city and the stability of the northern frontier, I must take precautions and make all preparations..."

"Brother Xiu...", Chen Shuling was frightened by the sudden news and cried, although she is a woman, but she also knows the truth that the imperial wheel is alternate, and disasters will arise, but she has been virtuous and intelligent since she was a child, and knows the rules of men's work, so Chen Shuling endured the worry in her heart: "Brother Xiu, you can go with peace of mind, just the concubine begs you a little... You're going to come back well! ”

A moment later, Lin Xiu came to Nangong Yan's courtyard, Mo Li had already received a message from the Lin family, so she had already finished dressing at this moment, Lin Xiu greeted Nangong Yan into the car, but Nangong Yan asked a sentence: "Why did you suddenly send me away?" ”

"For your safety!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yan bit the corner of her lip tightly, and immediately entered the car, and then Lin Xiu said to Li Hu: "You must protect the county lord on this trip and send her to Zhongdu safely!" ”

"Brother Xiu, don't worry, with me, I can't hurt the county lord at all!" After the words fell, Li Hu took a hundred elite escort cars to drive left and right, and ran towards Zhongdu.

When everything was settled, Lin Xiu summoned Lin Huai'an, Lin Hai and other junior disciples of the clan: "From today onwards, you must perform the duties of the children of the Lin clan to protect the clan, remember, all foreign intruders do not need to be merciful, they can be killed!" ”

Lin Huai'an and Lin Hai heard the heaviness of the words, and unconsciously, Lin Huai'an doubted: "Big brother, is something wrong?" And what about my brother? Why didn't he come back? ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiushen said in a rough voice: "I will teach you the first rule of the army now, obey the order, you are all the pillars of my Bei'an Army in the future, you must endure the hardships that ordinary people can't bear, and endure the hardships that ordinary people can't live, only in this way, the future of the Bei'an Army, I can rest assured that I can hand it over to you!" ”

"Know... Got it! ”

Lin Huai'an's juniors who said it were surging in their hearts, but they didn't know that Lin Xiu's words were really a portrayal of their future, of course, it was just a distant story!

The eastern boundary of the capital, Yanzhou City, this place is only separated from Jianghuai by a hundred miles, which is after the edict came, the county guard Qi Huanle did not sleep all night, the edict rewarded him Qi Huan to lead the Yanzhou city and county guard, and at the same time the doctor, the same level to promote a level, just imagine, he has been nearly fifty years old, and it took a lifetime to achieve the position of the county guard, I thought that he would die in the same place, who wanted to make no achievements, and even jumped into the entry official of the Zhongshu Pavilion on the occasion of the new emperor's succession, if the sky is lucky, maybe he can fly from Yanzhou, the border city of the central capital, into the high hall of the central capital.
