When he returned home, he first went to the church to worship his father, and when he saw the two sons returning together, Mrs. Xu was overjoyed, so he ordered his daughter and daughter-in-law to pack up the wine and food and hold a family banquet. I heard that Xu Sheng was promoted, and Xu Wei won the battle, so he was in a good mood, and hugged his grandson Fan Yi and kissed him a few times. Xu Wang's and Xu Xiuping were also overjoyed, and they hurriedly led the servant into the kitchen to prepare wine and food. Originally, Xu Wei saw that the fourth brother was rarely coming back, and wanted to discuss military affairs with him, and by the way, he inquired about the actions of the forbidden army. But seeing that the old man was so happy, he couldn't bear to spoil his interest, so he put the words in his stomach and waited for the right time to speak.

The father and son sat together and gossiped for a while, it turned out that Xu Sheng returned to his hometown this time and was ordered to escort grain, grass, military salaries, and beheading silver to Jingsui Camp. He shouldn't have come to this matter, but Zheng Detention thought about Xu Wei's hospitality, and deliberately gave him a chance to go home.

Fan Yi has been pestering her grandfather to play. Mrs. Xu was also happy to tease his grandson, so he hugged his little grandson and walked out of the guest hall, and said to Xu Wei before leaving: "Your fourth brother doesn't go home often, so you can discuss something with him." ”

Xu Wei was grateful, answered, and after the old man left, he couldn't wait to tell his brother about the current situation of Jingsui Camp and ask him for guidance. In particular, the most important issue of talent is mentioned. Xu Sheng listened attentively, and after his brother finished speaking, he pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Lao Jiu, what do you want to do?" "Although the name is under the pacification envoy of the Daimyofu Road, the ninth brother's Jingsui camp is still a township soldier in nature, but it has some privileges. A township soldier organization actually has to set up military commanders at all levels in accordance with the establishment of the forbidden army, as well as logistics, copywriting, craftsmen, and military doctors. Although the younger brother grew up watching him grow up, since he got seriously ill, this kid has simply changed a different person, and he can't figure it out.

Of course, Xu Wei knew what his brother meant, and he did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "I want to form an army. ”

Xu Sheng frowned, and asked, "What kind of army?" ”

"Attack must be conquered, attack must be taken, enter can seize the city and plunder the land, and defend can be impregnable." Xu Weilang replied.

Xu Sheng still didn't understand, and asked: "Since you are so ambitious, why don't you directly join the forbidden army, with your ability, sooner or later you will become a general defending one side, why ......?"

Xu Wei sighed, looked directly at his brother and said, "Because there are still more than two months, the Jin army will move south." ”

Xu Sheng's reaction was the same as when Xu Taigong heard this. Xu Wei didn't want to beat around the bush, and without waiting for him to ask, he had already told the truth about the reason for the matter, and made a special statement that with the current strength of the Song army, as long as the imperial court remained vigilant, it might be able to fight with it. But the bad thing is that from top to bottom in today's Great Song Dynasty, almost no one is wary of Jinguo. If he joins the forbidden army, at most he is a junior officer with less than a thousand troops, what can he do? So, pull the team yourself.

For a long time after that, the two brothers fell silent, and Xu Sheng served in the army, and there were no more than a thousand men under him. In the battle of Liao, his troops fought well, but he, a junior officer, could not turn the tide of the battle and returned with the defeat of the army. After reviewing the reasons again and again, I finally figured it out. First, there is the problem of the military system, which cannot be changed, and it should not be mentioned. Second, that is, the soldiers are afraid of death, and the combat effectiveness is not high, all because of the source of soldiers of the forbidden army of the imperial court, a considerable part of them are criminals and homeless, these people are forced to join the army for various reasons, how can they fight to die?

If we want to improve the combat effectiveness of the armed forces, we must find ways to improve the source of troops and training when the system cannot be changed. What the ninth brother is doing so far is exactly that. But if it is true as he said, the Jurchens will wave their forces south in more than two months, and even if he recruits a thousand healthy soldiers, what is the use?

Xu Wei answered him with only four words: "It's man-made." ”

Xu Sheng was still hesitant in his heart, after all, this was the words of the Ninth Brother's family, whether it was true or not, no one could predict it until October. Xu Wei didn't persuade him too much, but only reminded him that even if he couldn't take practical action, it was good to have a preparation in his heart.

The two brothers talked so much that they forgot the time, and waited for Xu Wang's Xu Xiuping and others to make lunch and call, so they put it aside for the time being. The meal was extremely rich, and even the old wine in the cellar was dug out, but Xu Wei only toasted his father and brother with a glass of wine, and then went back to the camp. The sister-in-law and sister couldn't keep it again and again, but Xu Sheng, the prince of Xu, understood in his heart that he was going to eat a big pot of rice with the soldiers.

Looking at Xu Wei's back in a hurry, Xu Wang muttered, "How could my uncle have suffered so much? What kind of Rausch commander is busy like this. "Although Xu Jiu used to be no different from a ruffian hooligan, after all, he was born in an official family, and his sister-in-law took care of him, so he could be regarded as a brocade of clothes and food, but now he has to eat and live with a group of vulgar soldiers, no wonder Xu Wang's family is distressed.

Xu Sheng glanced at the Hun family: "What do you know?" The ninth brother has great ambitions, and he is the child who asked you to chase him to dinner? ”

When Xu Xiuping heard this, she came back with a blank look: "So what?" No matter how capable he is, in the eyes of us and others, he is still an unconscious little brother. ”

Xu Sheng seemed to be a little afraid of this sister, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the third sister is very right." Then bother you again, how about having a daughter-in-law for Lao Jiuxiang? He is almost twenty people, and he has not yet married a wife, what kind of system has he become? ”

This joke can stab the hornet's nest, and Xu Wang's Xu Xiuping and Xu Xiuping combined the matter of Xu Wei to rescue a mother and daughter, and said that how pretty Miss He was, she was born with our family's nine children. In the end, please make a decision, this family can be married? Mrs. Xu met the mother and daughter when they went to the house, and they had a good impression, if it is really a clean white family in the city of Tokyo, you might as well give it a try. got his words, the two sisters-in-law were so happy, they immediately thought that it would be better to invite the mother and daughter of the He family to come and explore the wind now?

As she spoke, Miss He appeared at the door with her mother. The two women of the Xu family hurriedly got up to greet her and invited her mother and daughter to sit together. These money is used as food and lodging. With that, Miss He took out two silver ingots, twenty taels, and handed them to Xu Wang's face.

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other, why bother? Lao Jiu arranged to come to the house, but he ate and lived for a few days, and invited a doctor a few times, how could he ask her for silver? Besides, our Xu family is planning to get married to others. refused to accept it at the moment, and kept it again and again, then Mother He suddenly snatched the silver from her daughter's hand, stuffed it into Xu Wang's hand, said "farewell", and pulled her daughter out. The sister-in-law of Xu Mansion looked at each other, this, we have never offended her, who is the face to see?

"Hmph, how can this woman be so rude? Her mother's life was saved by my brother, and he arranged for food and shelter to be taken care of at home, even his own family. The way she looks, in line with what we owe her? Let's go! Xu Xiuping is a master who doesn't rub sand in her eyes, and seeing that the other party obviously looks down on the Xu family, she said angrily.

Xu Wang's family also felt that He Mute was a little ignorant, and it was a pity that he didn't have a brother and sister who was like a flower and jade, but he saw that He girl turned back again.
