Li Bin went to Sanshui to personally ask for a visit to Li Zhengruan's camp, and explained some things to him, telling him that he could find Qin Gu to solve any needs for money and food, and that no matter how small the warehouse in Fushi County was, it was more than enough to raise a team. Li * also analyzed with Li Bin what Gao Yunquan's true intention was to invite Ruan Cong to come to Yanzhou, and the result of the analysis was that no matter what kind of idea the Gao family had, the arrival of the people from the Zhi family was also beneficial to Yanzhou's resistance to the Dingyan army, and if he could communicate with the Zhi family, it would make Gao Shaoji have more scruples, and he would not dare to act rashly, so no matter how you look at it, this matter is a good and harmless thing.

After Li Bin left, Li * threw aside the open and secret battles within the Yanzhou shogunate, and no matter how many conspiracies and tricks there were, they could not be as reliable as a direct army with strong combat effectiveness. These days, he took in more than 100 homeless people, and recruited some new recruits among these homeless people, and finally made up his team of fifty people. These recruits have no combat effectiveness, and are currently undergoing the most basic queue training under the leadership of Liang Xuan, and it will take at least two to three months for these dozen soldiers to really train and form, Li * estimates that the Dingyan army may take advantage of the spring ploughing south next time, in order to avenge the revenge of being captured by himself two harriers, he hopes that his army can have a good performance on the battlefield at that time, at least don't let the proud generals of the Fold family underestimate it.

Because of this plan, Li * has frequently interrogated Tuoba Guangxing in the past few days, and repeatedly forced him to ask him all kinds of questions, so that Tuoba Guangxing almost fainted.

After many comparisons, Li* confirmed that Tuoba Guangxing was not lying, and at the same time had a basic understanding of the military strength and organization of the Dingyan Army.

Although the party had a glorious record of entering the Central Plains at the time of the Wuhu Rebellion, the original branch was quickly sinicized and finally integrated into the blood of the Tang royal family, while the ethnic groups that lived on the shores of the Hanhai Sea in the grassland all the year round were not invaded too much by the Han civilization, and have maintained a social form of semi-clan and semi-slavery until today. Compared with the relatively developed Han civilization in the Central Plains, its organizational form is simple and its productive forces are backward, but it does not have the serious corruption and waste that is inevitable in the Central Plains civilization.

At present, the Dangxiang ethnic group occupies the four prefectures of Xiayin, Suiyou, and the total population is about 70,000 to 80,000, which is roughly the same as the population base of Yanzhou. These populations are mainly divided into eight tribes for herd herding, and these eight tribes are also the eight most prominent and powerful Dangxiang families, they are the Xifeng clan, the Fei Ting clan, the Xiang Li clan, the Pochao clan, the Ye Li clan, the Fang Dang clan, the Mi Luo clan, and the Tuoba clan as the mainstay. Among them, the population of the Tuoba family accounts for more than 18,000 people, and the population of the other seven families ranges from 3,000 to 8,000. Each tribe had an armed force to defend its territory and livestock, with the strongest of them having 3,000 elite cavalry, while the rest had between 500 and 1,000 soldiers.

Unlike the Central Plains armed forces, the fighters of the Dangxiang people were all cavalry, and there was basically no infantry formation. These cavalrymen were warriors of all tribes who were proficient in horsemanship and archery, and their combat effectiveness was far superior to that of the Han Chinese army in the Central Plains. The best equipped of the eight tribes is the cavalry of the Tuoba family, they are the main armed force of the Dingyan army, and they are also an important tool for the Tuoba family to control the eight clans as the leader of the tribal alliance. The armament of other families is much worse, such as the fine seal Minda's own family, the fine seal family, has eight hundred cavalry, and it is already a relatively powerful family among the eight tribes, second only to the Tuoba family and the Yeli family. However, most of the 800 cavalry used single wooden bows, and most of the arrows used did not have metal arrow clusters, which was extremely lethal to the enemy equipped with armor.

According to the calculation of the scale, the standing army of the Dangxiang Dingyan Army is roughly no more than 8,000 people, but the Dangxiang people are nomadic people, with the tradition of all the people being soldiers and the custom of martial arts, and at critical moments, as long as there are rudimentary weapons in their hands, even the elderly and children can go to the battlefield. More than 20 years ago, in the battle of Xiazhou in the fourth year of Changxing, the patriarch of the Tuoba family at that time, the Dingyan army made Li Yichao face the aggressive 50,000 troops of the Later Tang Dynasty, and mobilized nearly 40,000 men of all ethnic groups to participate in the battle, and finally won the victory in the defense of Xiazhou.

The mobilization mechanism of the Dingyan Army is not the professional recruitment system of the Central Plains, but the compulsory military service system, the party members live as nomads, and the tent is an irreplaceable place to live, so the conscription is also based on the "account" as the unit, if there are two in one account, then the strong ones are the regular soldiers, and the other one is carrying the baggage and supplies, and the two people form the most basic combat unit, which is called "copying". Some tents have more adult males, and they can form two to three copies. Some of the smaller tribes have more than 100 tents of people and livestock, while the ethnic groups of the eight major tribes are all more than 1,000 tents. This system was changed in wartime, and it was generally a common practice of two soldiers living together in one tent, and the tribal lords and nobles were leading the battle.

This kind of clan compulsory military service system of integrating soldiers and civilians gave the party a huge and powerful war mobilization capacity, and for many years it maintained a military advantage over the Guanzhong domain, which even the central court could hardly help. Of course, this military system also has its drawbacks, that is, there is no clear command system and fast and flexible tactical coordination, but the nomads' courage and good fighting make up for this shortcoming. More importantly, the corruption and incompetence of the Yanzhou military town and the low combat effectiveness of the army made this defect of the Dingyan Army not a defect at all.

In other words, no matter how clumsy the tactics of the party members are, it is equally effective to encounter an army like the Zhangwu Army, which basically does not know any other tactics except fleeing.

This is the only information that Tuoba Guangxing can provide to Li *, this waste is not qualified to enter the top level of the Dingyan Army at present, and those things that belong to high-level secrets are not accessible to him, if it is Tuoba Guangrui or Tuoba Guangyan who is caught, Li * may be able to get some more internal information about the party, but then again, if even such a level of Tuoba family officials can be easily captured, the Dingyan Army will not be a threat at all. This kind of thing can only be thought about in the stomach, and cannot be said in public, otherwise he will definitely be regarded as a madman by his own soldiers.

Seeing that Tuoba Guangxing was almost squeezed, Li * immediately waved his hand and ordered the soldiers: "Drag this useless guy out and cut it down......"

When Tuoba Guangxing heard this, he spread it on the ground, and he had no strength to even shout for help, so he could only mumble in a low voice that he was still valuable, saying that his father would definitely redeem himself at a price that satisfied Li *......

Li* pondered for a moment, and then asked him, "If I leave you this life, do you have any good things that you can take out immediately as money to buy your life?" ”

Tuoba Guangxing immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, shouting and saying that no matter what Li * wanted, he would give it, as long as he left his life.

"Are you really willing to give anything?" Li * asked with a smile about the waste son of the envoy of the difficult army, and the appearance of a profiteer on his face made Zhou Zhengyu, who was on the jury, couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his stomach if the team officer had been with Liu Heng for too long these days.

"Willing to give and willing to give ......" As long as he can save his life, Tuoba Guangxing now has a golden mountain in his hand and will give it to Li *.

"The villain's horses, weapons, and things in his bag, adults can take whatever they want—" Tuoba Guangxing's Chinese was originally ordinary, but at the moment, he was so fast and fluent that he didn't even hit a single stumble.

"Those things are now all official things, you take the things of this official and give them to this official, how can there be such a reason in the world? Alas, this official has the virtue of a good life, and he wanted to spare your life, but why are you so unreasonable and ignorant of current affairs, it's just that, it seems that you are still a miser, and this official can't do anything about you, come to someone——"

Before Li * finished speaking, Tuoba Guangxing cried on the spot, and swore desperately while kowtowing to the sky and swearing that as long as the adults wanted, it didn't matter if they stripped themselves naked now, as long as they could save their lives.

Li * then showed his hole card: "Okay, look at you so pitiful, as long as you are willing to do so, the official will temporarily send you this head, alas, so the official has suffered a big loss, but the official alias 'Huairen', since he should have a benevolent heart to spare your life temporarily......"

Tuoba Guangxing immediately nodded again and again and said that there is no problem, as long as the adults can let me go back, the villain will definitely agree to this condition.

Li * frowned: "It seems that you are still not interested, you still want to go back, it's just that, the official doesn't want you to do anything, this will fulfill you, you can rest assured, afterwards the official will definitely paint your head in gold, put it in a sandalwood box and return it to Ling Zun's ......"

Before the words fell, Tuoba Guangxing suddenly jumped up, shouting that the villain would not leave, and the villain would not leave if he killed the villain, and the villain would do what the adult ordered, as long as the villain could save his life, the villain would follow the adult's ......

……

"You're going to give me to that Han man?"

Fine Feng Minda's eyes widened, staring angrily at Tuoba Guangxing, wondering if this guy was telling a joke.

After returning to the stockade, the treatment of fine Feng Minda as a prisoner was still good, and no one in the military village was difficult for him, not even a rope was attached to him, but his armor, soldiers, blades, and horses were all taken away, and the food was distributed to him according to the food of ordinary soldiers. When he was bored, he walked out of the prison and walked around casually, and no one paid attention to him, but he was not allowed to go out of the walled gate.

This kind of day made Xifeng Minda feel quite strange, although he knew that Li * wanted to subdue himself for his use, but it still required great courage to control himself so loosely. You know, he is a first-class harrier in the party army, with his own strength to stun the guards and soldiers to escape is easy, with the equipment of this army to stop themselves is basically impossible, although the snow is closed, but as long as you are careful, it is not impossible to escape back to Suizhou with good experience in the wilderness.

There are two reasons why he did not put this idea into practice, one is that although he himself is fine, it is a great problem to bring a cumbersome Tuoba Guangxing, it is not difficult to rescue this waste, but how to escape back with him is a very nerve-wracking problem, as a slave of the Tuoba family, it is absolutely impossible to throw this waste and escape back alone, although he is not afraid of death, he is not willing to die in such an unknown way.

Another reason is that although Li * is an enemy, but he has a sense of sympathy with him, these days he has been constantly watching Li * training methods and patterns, its severity and wonder make him fascinated, he began to really feel that he will be captured alive by this army is not accidental, although the soldiers' individual combat quality is still far from that of the party warriors, but the overall temperament of this army still fascinates him, the feeling is very subtle, can not be described in words, like a sharp blade out of the sheath. He had no doubt that the army trained in this way would be the great enemy of his own people in the future.

He is addicted, sometimes he will participate in learning from time to time, and now every morning when he hears the sound of the drum of getting up, he will get up, dress as fast as he can, and then run out to watch the training, his reaction speed is getting faster and faster, and one day he was even the first to run out of the door, which surprised Shen Chen, who was in charge of morning exercise training.

He now learns from the soldiers to do push-ups every day, and without armor, he adds stones to his back, which he was not used to at first, but now he can do one hundred and thirty push-ups, and he soon discovered the beauty of this training, and his arm strength is increasing day by day, which is a very surprising thing for him who has been drawing a bow and shooting arrows all year round. At present, with his arm strength, he could shoot twenty-three arrows in a row from his horse, and he felt that according to this training method, he would one day be able to shoot thirty-six arrows in one go.

Lee* would come to see him every day, but he would never mention the internal affairs of the party, which made him feel quite relaxed, and he was secretly grateful for Lee*'s understanding. Lee* comes every day to discuss tactics and grappling techniques, and he and Lee* often talk about these issues for an hour or two.

Li * never mentioned the matter of recruiting him again, which made Xifeng Minda quite puzzled, he didn't know how Li * would deal with him, although he knew that this Han officer appreciated that he was absolutely not hostile to him, but he still understood that he and Li * were still friends and enemies after all, and this issue would be mentioned by Li * one day.

Unexpectedly, Li * didn't say it, but it was Tuoba Guangxing who ran over and said with tears and snot that he wanted to give Li *, a slave of the Tuoba family, as a gift......

"If I don't give you to him, that adult will cut off my head immediately, I really have no choice, I'm sorry for you, you have been in the Tuoba family for so many years, from feeding horses to being a harrier in the army, our family is not thin on you, and now this critical juncture is the time for you to serve our family......"

"Young Master Guangxing, do you know that you are the biological son of Master Tuoba, that team officer will never dare to kill you without authorization, he is deliberately scaring you, don't you even understand this?" Fine Seal Minda asked with a snort.

“…… You didn't see that if I hadn't begged just now, the lord would have dragged me out and cut me down. Thin Feng Minda, that lord just wants you to be his slave, not your life, why are you reluctant? ”

"He's scaring you—don't you understand?" With such a little threat, he sold himself, and when he thought about it, he felt angry in his heart, how could he serve such a young master of waste wood.

"Okay, don't say it anymore, you are a slave of my family, I now announce to you that I will give you to Team Officer Li on behalf of my father, from today on, he will be your master, from today on, my Tuoba family will no longer have you as a slave......" Tuoba Guangxing saw that Xifeng Minda refused to answer, and immediately talked to himself.

Xifeng Minda was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You are not the master of Tuoba, I am a slave given to the Tuoba family by the Xifeng family, you are not the head of the Tuoba family, not the patriarch, you have no right to give me to others privately-"

Tuoba Guangxing also changed color at this time: "You thief slave, don't say anything about my exile, but also want to harm my life, my Tuoba family doesn't have you, a slave who betrays the master, my father put you by my side to protect me, I am your master, I have the right to decide your fate, you are a thief slave, do you still want to rebel?" ”

Xifeng Minda stood up, put his hands on Tuoba Guangxing's shoulders, stared into his eyes and asked word by word: "I'll ask you again, you have to think about it before answering me, you—really—are you going to give me to—the Han people?" ”

Tuoba Guangxing shrunk his neck, dodged the thin seal Minda's blazing gaze and said, "Yes, I just want to give you to that Han man!" ”

A gentle smile appeared at the corner of the fine seal Minda's mouth: "In other words, from this moment on, you are no longer my master?" ”

Tuoba Guangxing nodded again and again: "No!" Not anymore! Your master is - oops! ”

Before he could finish his words, a slap the size of a fan had already slapped him in the face, and immediately, the angry party members fell on the body of this martyr like a storm, and a terrible scream rang out.

Li *, who had been listening to the corner at the door, was worried for a while, but he didn't stop the beating in time, and the emotions that Xi Feng Minda had been holding back for a long time also needed to vent this, but Li * was afraid that Xi Feng Minda's shot was not light or heavy, and it would be troublesome to really kill this waste, so after listening to it for a while, he pushed open the door and stuck his head in, and said to Xi Feng Minda with an embarrassed smile: "Be careful not to kill him, he hasn't pressed his handprint on the transfer deed......"

"Get out—" Thin Seal Minda raised his eyebrows and yelled at his new master, who had a very flattering look.
