Li Chenfeng, who had been informed by Zhao Xi in advance, had already greeted him five miles down the mountain. He also prepared dinner for the newcomers, and also set up tents for the families of the newcomers, and from tomorrow, work will be set up to build houses for them.

"You'er, you're really good, you can take this wild boar ridge in one day without blood!" Li Chenfeng said to Zhao Yi with a smile.

Zhao Yi also got rid of Li Ruolan, who had been entangled all the way, and said with a wry smile: "Where is my power, it is that the other party has already had the idea of evacuating, but it just happened that I got there, and they just took advantage of the situation." ”

"Oh? What's going on? ”

"I'll go back and explain it to Uncle Li in detail later, these carts of boxes were left by my father, I got him back today, and the money in them is enough for us to consume for a while."

Li Chenfeng nodded, and said with a smile: "Xi'er, Li'er and Xin'er are also here, they are very worried about you!" He glanced behind him.

"Cousin!" Xu Qinlian ran over with a worried face, and looked at Zhao Xian carefully, as if to check whether Zhao Xian was injured, and when he saw that Zhao Xian was intact, he smiled happily. However, when he saw Li Ruolan behind Zhao Xi, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Zhao Xian saw that Xu Qinlian was so worried about herself, and had already left her mother's death behind, her heart was full of pity, and she took Xu Qinlian's hand and said, "Okay, Li'er, I'm fine, don't worry, why did you run so far?" Wouldn't it be nice to wait for me in the cottage, you don't know how to ride a horse. ”

Xu Qinlian's hands were pulled by Zhao Yan, although his face was flushed, he did not withdraw his hand, but his heart was full of sweetness, and he whispered: "I'm worried about you, I can't rest assured at home." Besides, I also came in a carriage, and in order to set up tents for these new people, I came in many carriages. ”

"Cousin, cousin, I also want to ride a horse, you see, this sister can ride a horse, you have to teach me!" Xin'er pointed at Li Ruolan and said to Zhao Xi.

Zhao Yi let go of Xu Qinlian's hand, knocked it on Xin'er's little head, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll teach you tomorrow." ”

"Come on, Li'er, I'll take you back." As he spoke, Zhao Yi stretched out his hand and looked at Xu Qinlian affectionately.

Xu Qinlian's face was red and about to drip blood, but she still stretched out her hand. Zhao Yi held Xu Qinlian's right hand, supported her waist, helped her onto the horse, and then sat behind Xu Qinlian.

Li Chenfeng and everyone looked at Zhao Yi with a smile on their faces, and many people were happy for Zhao Xi, after all, Zhao Yi had also reached the age of marriage. Li Chenfeng regarded Xu Qinlian and Zhao Yi as his own children, and he was very pleased to see the two of them like this.

"Cousin, I want it too, I want it too! I'm going to be like Sister Li'er. Xin'er saw that Li'er was on the horse, and shouted unhappily.

Zhao Yi smiled bitterly: "Okay, come here!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand, bent down to take Xin'er's arm, lifted her onto the horse, and sat in front of Xu Qinlian.

Xu Qinlian felt a manly aura surrounding her, and she relied on her broad mind, and her mood kept changing. Xu He, who was far away, was also secretly happy for his sister, his only relative, he could find his own happiness, and he was naturally happy to be an older brother, besides, he also knew Zhao Xi's personality very well.

Li Ruolan saw Zhao Yi and the woman sitting on the horse, and for some reason, her heart was a little sour.

In the evening, Zhao held a welcoming ceremony for the newcomers in order to eliminate everyone's strangeness and estrangement. And he and several of his subordinates and brothers talked with Li Luobei and his five subordinates about the reorganization of the soldiers.

"I don't know the names of these brothers?" Li Lingfeng took the lead in asking after a few people finished politely.

One of the five people introduced: "Subordinate Tang Niu, these four brothers are Duan Yan, Ma Yu, Feng Meng and Wu An. ”

Seeing the posture of the five people as soldiers, Li Lingfeng said: "Several of them are all regular soldiers, right?" ”

Tang Niu replied: "Zhengyang County is a soldier. ”

"I see, I'll just say, the behavior of the five looks like soldiers, and I was originally a regular soldier."

Tang Niu asked, "I don't know who the adults are?" ”

"Long Xiang Army, the sentry commander was born!"

Tang Niu's face changed, and he immediately became much more respectful, Li Luobei shook his head secretly, he knew that it must be the five people who acted arrogantly, making these people dissatisfied, and Li Lingfeng deliberately suppressed them. However, he did not go far to say that since he surrendered, he could not come out again.

"I don't know what Chief Li thinks about the merger and adaptation of the two ministries?" Zhao Yi saw that the five people were suppressed by Li Lingfeng, and he was secretly happy, so he asked.

Li Luobei said with a smile: "I listen to Lord Zhao's opinion, I think Lord Zhao has a unique way of training soldiers, and the original Lord Zhao merges the two departments. Treat everyone equally. ”

Zhao Yi knew what Li Luobei meant, and he was willing to give up his command of his subordinates, do what he wanted, and deploy and train in a unified manner. Then he said: "Okay, everyone trains together, and after a month, they will be reorganized according to the effect." ”

"What about me?" Li Ruolan hurriedly asked.

Zhao Yi was inspired and said: "There are more than 100 poor women in our cottage who were captured by the old scar on the mountain before, and they are like dead hearts all day long, I am going to train them too, so as not to have anything happen to them, Miss Li will train with them, and take them with you by the way." ”

Li Ruolan nodded happily and agreed.

The next day, more than 1,500 people in the cottage began a large-scale military training, but fortunately, Zhao Yi got a lot of silver, otherwise, it would be a problem for these people to even eat, but even so, Li Chenfeng hurriedly notified Steward Zhao in Xinyan Town to go to Le County to buy grain and grass.

"Stand up for me, look at them, they were ordinary farmers and hunters a dozen days ago, but now, they can stand still for half an hour, what about you? They may not be your opponents now, but they will definitely not be worse than you in the future, soldiers, obeying orders is their duty, and they can't even stand in a simple posture, so what's more? Brother Zhao's high-pitched voice came from everywhere. It was Zhao Xian's vocation for soldiers to obey orders, but the object of obedience was Zhao Xuan. This point, when training, emphasizes and emphasis, in short, we must engrave these in their minds and form concepts.

"Commander Zhao, didn't you say that you would go back to Yanzhou City with me the day after tomorrow? But now you are engaged in construction here, and you are training soldiers and horses, and you have no intention of preparing for the march at all! Su Yun found Zhao Yi, who was training soldiers in the training ground, and asked angrily.

After Su Yun finished venting, Zhao Yi said with a smile: "Lord Su is angry, I got the news that Lord Su was assassinated in Yanzhou, and his whereabouts are unknown, which means that the other party is not really dead to death with Lord Su." In addition, I have confirmed that the other party is Sima Yun's person, and it is not known whether the right soldier and horse envoy was involved. Now that the goal has been established, I originally planned to take only 300 people with me, but that will not work, 300 people is not enough for the other party to swallow in one bite. Since the other party said that you were assassinated and your whereabouts are unknown, why should we rush back, when I am ready and go back in a bright light, at least I can't be pressed and beaten. ”

Su Yun said: "In this case, then do as you say, in fact, I am worried about my family." ”

Zhao Yi said: "If he didn't turn his face, he wouldn't do anything to the adult's family, not to mention that now it has been confirmed that the adult is fine, let alone make a move on the adult's family." ”

"I hope so! By the way, Commander Zhao, you have a set of training, but the trained soldiers only listen to your orders, and they are ...... powerful" After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Yi meaningfully.

Zhao Xi smiled and said: "Of course my soldiers listen to me, if they don't listen to me, do I dare to take them back with adults?" ”

Su Yun smiled and stopped talking, secretly observing the situation on the training ground.

Li Chenfeng and Li Luobei also settled the new arrivals and helped them divide new fields and give them farm tools and seeds. There is a lot of wasteland under Crouching Tiger Mountain, and the original people were forced to flee by the mountain bandits, and those who chose to be vacant were allocated to the newcomers, and a lot of wasteland was also reclaimed. Zhao Xi means that a Wohu Mountain is the center, and the southeast, south and southwest are all under their control, and those who live here are given security, fields, farm tools and seeds, but they have to pay one-sixth of the annual harvest grain as a tax. Li Chenfeng and the others also agreed with Zhao Xi's construction of a sentry within thirty miles of the surrounding area, and if there was already a situation, they could immediately send troops.

Every day, in addition to military posture, queue and turning, the soldiers ran ten miles in the morning and evening, and the rest of the time was array and knife and gun training, while remembering the meaning of the change of flag. The training of these soldiers was hard, but fortunately, the food of the soldiers was not bad, and there was still one meal of meat every day, and the livestock in the north were relatively cheap, plus Zhao Yi brought back a lot of money, so that the soldiers ate well. A few soldiers who wanted to pretend to be sick to escape training were driven out of the team by Zhao Yi and were despised by everyone, which shocked the remaining soldiers for a while.

Every night, Zhao Xi also took the more well-trained soldiers and various teams to practice calligraphy. Originally, many soldiers didn't think much of Xi Zi, so Zhao Xi said sternly: "If you don't know how to read, you can understand the military orders I give you in the future?" If you are illiterate, how do you write information and war exploits? You want to say it orally, but there are things that you also dictate? If you want to get ahead under me, in addition to loyalty, you must also be able to read and write, and I hope that my subordinates are all talents who can write and write. While teaching people to learn literature, Zhao Xi also instilled loyalty and his own thoughts. In addition to a few of his subordinates who led the team and trained hard, the five small leaders under Li Luobei and some well-trained soldiers were also among them, and even Li Ruolan was also with him. For this reason, it is the goal of every soldier to be taught by Zhao Xi every night, and the training of the soldiers is even more self-demanding. From time to time, Zhao also taught some strategies and techniques for fighting. He didn't dare to say anything else, but the thirty-six strategies and guerrilla warfare were told to everyone by Zhao Xi as a story, so that everyone could understand the art of war and strategy in the story, and these soldiers from the Long Xiang Army such as Li Lingfeng also came to listen and expressed their admiration for Zhao Xi's ability.

Although training alone cannot become a brave soldier and a fierce soldier, but without training, nothing can be achieved. In the past ten days, all the soldiers have changed their momentum, marching moderately, neatly and mightily, and the new soldiers have also been taken in by Zhao Di, and since then they have officially become Zhao Di's people.
