After more than a month of travel, the three of them arrived in the land of Jingshi in mid-August, probably after the rebellion of the Power Cultists last year, and the iron-blooded army patrolling around the land of Jingshi can often be seen.

The Iron Blood Army is Anyun's native garrison and the most elite army of the dynasty. Anyun is located in the land of the plains, and there is no danger to defend around. However, Anyun has been extremely developed in smelting and agriculture since ancient times. There is iron and food, so An Yun is very rich. So the steel was armed to the soldiers, and there were the world-famous Anyun heavy infantry and Anyun heavy cavalry. No army dared to confront An Yun's army on the plains, because it was really a force made of steel. A cavalry charge can tear through any formation, leaving the enemy with huge casualties as soon as they meet. The phalanx of infantry is a moving steel fortress that crushes any enemy who dares to face him. Steel armor and steel shields that overshadow any bow and crossbow, melee combat is a nightmare for any Predator's foe, as they struggle to inflict lethal damage on these armor-clad "turtles", and many battles can only be described as one-sided.

In the founding war of the dynasty, the Iron Blood Army defeated the Zhantu cavalry that dominated the northern desert, making the Zhantu people bow down. The well-trained Kansai mountain soldiers, armed with spears, crossbows, and large shields, suffered a severe blow on the plains and had to rely on the continuous mountains of Kansai to defend them, but when all the major cities were lost, Kansai also surrendered. The river in the south of the Yangtze River delayed the attack of the iron-blooded army, and the river was a natural line of defense, but when the Emperor Qingyuan led a 3,000-man iron horseman, quietly crossed the river, and crisscrossed the Jiangnan, the Jiangnan people finally collapsed. The barbarians of Guanbei and Yaodong, who were good at foot warfare, took advantage of the Qingyuan Emperor's southern expedition to invade the dynasty, and finally fought back when the Qingyuan Emperor returned to fight back.

The Iron Blood Army has always been the most elite army of the dynasty, and it is another nickname for the Central Army. Of course, the current iron-blooded army has experienced two hundred years of peace, and it has long lost its bravery, but it is not a force that can be taken lightly.

The Jingshi is not far in front of Wei Zeng and the others, the Jingshi is more magnificent as a whole, and the city wall is also very tall but it is not the kind of awe-inspiring inviolability shown by Guiwu, it is more of an atmosphere and broad. Maybe Kyoshi is too big. Just before Wei Zeng and the three of them were about to enter the city, a team of ironclad cavalry rushed straight forward, and all the pedestrians made changes, but there was still an old man who sold firewood because he was too old and his legs and feet were not good, and he fell to the ground in a hurry. The leading war horse was about to step on the old man's body, and the horse rider quickly reined in the war horse and stopped. The old man looked at the majestic general on the horse, and the group of sergeants who also stopped behind the general trembled. I saw that the general got off the horse, walked in front of the old man, picked him up, and then bowed down to apologize

"The old man was frightened, Di really had something important to do, so he hurried away, please forgive me for the collision."

The old man didn't dare to connect, and hurriedly retreated. And the commander went into the city with all the soldiers.

Wei Zeng saw that the rank of the general should not be low, but he handled this matter so politely, it really didn't look like a martial artist.

"That is Di Xianlan, General Di, but the general of the Iron Blood Army, and a famous general of An Yun. When they heard that the Zhantu people heard his name, they would tremble, how could they be such a polite person. The people all the way said.

"General Di Da has always been known for loving soldiers like sons, and the sergeants under him are also well-disciplined and never disturb the people. General Di never puts on a show, and he is also very kind to people. A group of people said.

"General Di Da is a good man and can fight. It's just, hey, just because he was born as a martial artist and hasn't read any books, he has never been taken seriously by the imperial court. His status was all earned by military merits, but the government and the opposition disdained him. Just because of his poor background, he is uneducated. The group sighed.

"yes, I've heard that, too. Because of his great military achievements, the lord became suspicious, if it weren't for the rebellion in the past few years and the continuous rebellion of the displaced people, General Di would have been dismissed long ago. One person also said.

"It's really a good person who doesn't have to repay it. I really hope that General Di can lead the troops for a few years, the soldiers are more powerful than the bandits in these years, and there are more generals like General Di, and our ordinary people can be less harassed. ”

Wei Zeng also admired Di Xianlan when he heard the talk of the pedestrians, and sighed about what happened to him. But it's not a day or two since the court is not clear, and there are not many people like Di Xianlan. Wei Zeng led the two of them to find a house according to the contact information left by Liu Hexin.

Just when Wei Zeng and the three were still looking. Di Xianlan led the group of sergeants to the gate of the Yaya. At first glance, this yamen is an important place for military aircraft, and there are four sergeants standing guard at the door. Di Xianlan dismounted and took out the festival order and entered the door, while the sergeant under him went to a small courtyard next to him. The sergeants standing guard along the way bowed and saluted when they saw Di Xianlan coming. Di Xianlan walked to the hall and saluted the chief of the hall, who nodded and let Di Xianlan take a seat. After that, several more generals arrived, and the seats in the hall were not empty.

"Okay, now that the main generals of my iron-blooded army have arrived, then we can discuss important matters."

"The main purpose of summoning the generals this time is to occupy the rebels and the rebels in all directions. The emperor is very concerned about this matter, and has been asking about it in recent days. It has been many years since the Zhan Tu people rebelled, but it was just for money, food and knighthood, as long as they were not allowed to enter Anyun, they could be quelled with a little comfort. There are 30,000 iron horsemen guarding the northern land, and if there is a lot of trouble, a little beating is also necessary. You must be attentive and never be negligent. ”

"The last general commands, obey the marshal's orders." Several of the generals stood up and took their promises, and then sat down again at the signal of the officer.

"As for the rebel army in all directions, it can't be ignored, I remember that in the autumn of last year, the rebel army actually attacked the suburbs of Beijing and almost besieged the city. If it weren't for General Di's quick decision, he led 5,000 light cavalry to kill overnight and defeated the rebellious army in one fell swoop. I'm afraid that last year it wasn't a matter of a few people being reprimanded by the emperor, and it was inevitable that some people would be beheaded for their crimes. It is not easy for you to become the generals of my iron-blooded army, and it is not worth losing your lives just for a few troubled people. ”

Some of the generals were silent when they heard this, some hurriedly said yes, and some glanced at Di Xianlan, their eyes full of jealousy and disdain. Di Xianlan only pretended to be deaf and dumb when he saw this, and he had seen a lot of experience.

"I heard that the rebellion of the Quartet was not only as simple as a riot of hungry people, but also the participation of Jianghu people with strong martial arts, and these Jianghu people were also organized and disciplined, which brought a lot of trouble to the people who suppressed the rebellion. These leaders of the rebel army seem to be cultists who have been the cause of trouble for a long time. If the guess is correct, it should be the number one cult force sect in the imperial court. This cultist of power must be familiar to you, for more than a hundred years, you can see them in every year of famine. It's just that in the past hundred years, the world has been very stable, and there are very few people who are willing to be thieves, so they have done nothing. But now it is different, the calamity of the dynasty has been revealed, and the world has become chaos. You must intensify the extermination of this power cultist, and do not allow it to develop. The commander of the Jingnan army has already pacified the rebellious army in Yanbei, and will soon go to Beijing to accept the reward, so you must ask him more about the rebellious army, and make more preparations. ”

The generals promised. Then the officer explained other military matters, and asked the officers to return to the defense and obey the orders.

"General Di of the Northland and General Zhao of the garrison of the capital stay, and the others can go." The official finally said.

After everyone left, the official took out an edict and said to the two: "The emperor has issued a new order, to the effect that he wants to follow the example of Emperor Qingyuan and use the power of civil warriors to eliminate the hidden dangers of the dynasty. The emperor ordered us to take the opportunity to recruit people at the meeting to deal with the cultists who are now becoming more and more rampant. The emperor means that if these folk warriors are willing to serve the court, the court will not be stingy with rewards; If they resolutely refuse to allow it, it is inevitable that these warriors will have something to do with the cultists, and they will have to be exterminated in order to eliminate the calamity before it sprouts. In mid-September, the emperor would personally summon the civil warriors who were willing to cooperate in Shanglin Yuan, and personally make a promise; And those who do not want to belong will also be invited to several places, and then it will depend on the two generals. ”

"The Marshal Emperor's move is too much, too wildly. At the beginning, the Emperor of Qingyuan issued a pioneering decree as a last resort, and it was the barbarians who fought it, and it was the anger of others who were generous. The imperial court wiped out the barbarian forces without spending a penny, and the wasteland team attached to the imperial court sent a lot of treasures, and the imperial court can be said to be a complete profiteer. This time, we must use the power of the people to deal with the cultists, first of all, the cultists are hidden among the people, and they are not as easy to distinguish as the barbarians; It is also necessary to reward meritorious people, which will cost a lot of money to the court; For the uncooperative folk samurai, they will be killed, this is not a good thing to look at, and it is not a good thing to pay attention to. General Zhao of the Jingshi Garrison said when he heard this.

"The emperor has made up his mind, and the edict has been issued, and we who are the next to do it will do it. This speculation on the holy will is not what we should do, and maybe the emperor's move has some deep meaning. General Zhao, you are the commander of the Beijing Division's garrison army, and you are familiar with the affairs of the Beijing Division, so you will arrange the deployment in the Beijing Division. General Di, you will send 8,000 iron cavalry to the Beijing Division to strengthen the vigilance, if anyone dares to make trouble, they will be destroyed and will not be spared. Besides, these non-governmental forces don't necessarily don't cooperate, just like what kind of regiment it is, what kind of regiment it is, I can't remember it for a while. ”

"The marshal is a blast." General Zhao reminded.

"That's right, it's a wive. Didn't the Storm Regiment also set up an office in Xicheng, and often visited the people in the court, wanting to serve the court in order to get a reward? General Zhao, you will send someone to talk to them, I think they are still willing to cooperate, with the emperor's personal promise of reward, they are not happy to go to heaven. The official said.

"Subordinates receive orders." General Zhao agreed. The reason why General Zhao remembers the Blaster is because a few days ago, the Blaster sent someone to visit and gave gifts, and General Zhao didn't know why the Blaster was organized, but he only knew that he would often come to honor himself. It's always good for someone to honor themselves, why don't you just meet and spend a few minutes, it's not a big deal. Now let him send someone to find the Blaster, where does he know where the Blast's office is. "Forget it, just leave it to the people below, let the people below be busy." General Zhao was relieved to make this decision.
