During the arduous recruitment period, Liu Xuan endured it all, from a weak teenager to a strong man after a month of baptism.

During this period, there were also recruits who couldn't stand the training and ran away, but they were all caught and came here, where is there still a chance to be a deserter.

From the soreness and weakness on the first day to the ease of habit a month later, Liu Xuan suddenly found that this really gave him a great opportunity to exercise.

Liu Xuan has a very high level of understanding and patience, and every training given by the commander can be completed on time.

A month later, Liu Xuan and the other recruits officially became regular soldiers.

And their first mission came.

Early in the morning, outside the northern city, 100,000 military horses stood neatly under the city tower, and as far as the eye could see, most of them were a team of recruits who had undergone a month of special training.

"Hey, have you heard? We're going to Lizhou City. ”

"Lizhou City? That's a big city, much stronger than this Linjiang City. ”

"It is said that the daughter of the city lord got married today, and we are in charge of escorting, and by the way, we have also been assigned to Lizhou City."

"Lord of the city, this is about to climb the high branches, the city lord of Lizhou City is a member of the Nangong royal family."

In the crowd, Liu Xuan quietly listened to everyone's discussions, and he also heard about it from Old Man Lin.

The city lord of Linjiang City, Wu Yi's daughter is called Wu Ling, and the son of the city lord of Lizhou City took a fancy to it, Wu Yi didn't seem to be willing, and his daughter was even more unwilling, but under pressure, in desperation, he agreed.

The main reason is that the city lord of Lizhou City is the in-laws of the Daluo Dynasty, called Nangong Li, and his son is called Nangong Feng, the reason why Wu Yi is reluctant and helpless is that this person named Nangong Feng is extremely lustful, likes to bully men and women, looks fat and ugly, relies on family power, and is lawless.

Wu Yi's daughter, Wu Ling, is naturally a hundred unwilling.

But the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, Wu Yi was hindered by the power of the Nangong family, of course he didn't dare to go against the people of the Daluo Dynasty, so he had to agree, and now he gave 100,000 troops and horses to Lizhou City for nothing.

It is no wonder that Linjiang City has been actively recruiting soldiers and horses recently, and it is also interesting to think that it is reluctant to give the standing army to Lizhou City in vain, so tens of thousands of recruits were selected, and they were forcibly trained for a month, and they were counted into the regular army.

Liu Xuan's commander is called Peng Yuan, he is a man of few words, and he is an extremely serious person, and the recruits under him are very afraid of him.

The sound of gongs sounded happily in the city, and everyone stood neatly on both sides of the city, only to see a gorgeous red carriage slowly driving out, followed by more than a dozen carts full of gifts, and even faintly could smell the strong aroma of wine on the back car.

The person at the head, wearing black armor, with a handsome face and a solemn expression, Liu Xuan recognized that he was Wu Yi's son Wu Hong, Wu Ling's younger brother.

Wu Hong rarely goes home, as a junior under his father, as for the character, Liu Xuan is not clear, it is said, he has also won a lot of battles, he is young and promising, and he is extremely valued by everyone.

It seems that this marriage was escorted by Wu Hong.

From a distance, Liu Xuan also saw several dowry maids next to the red carriage in front, including Lin Lin.

When the children of this rich family get married, they will always bring a few personal maids to marry with them, it is common sense, Liu Xuan knew that Lin Lin was also reluctant, but he had no choice, so he comforted her a few words, and the old man Lin also gave a special explanation before leaving, and entrusted Lin Lin to him, a 'distant cousin'.

When the wedding car went away with the sound of gongs and drums, the troops behind also followed one after another.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they became the so-called regular army, they were transferred by Wu Yi as a dowry and given to others.

Lizhou City is nearly a thousand miles away from Linjiang City, and at this rate, it will take a month to reach the destination.

On the way, in addition to resting and eating, it was in a hurry, and the horn also blew for a month.

A month later, Liu Xuan and a team of people finally rushed to the outside of Lizhou City, and the city lord Nangong stood very large, but he just sent a general and thousands of soldiers to stand outside the city, which was regarded as a greeting.

When Wu Hong saw this scene, he frowned slightly, greeted him, talked a few words, and prepared to enter the city.

And at this moment, a team of more than a dozen people in the rear rode horses, and the troops looked back, their eyes were red, their bodies were dusty, and there were even some traces of blood that had already dried up, "Linjiang urgent!" ”

In that team, some people kept shouting while speeding up their horses.

Wu Hong looked stunned, saw that it was his own military horse, and looked flustered, and his heart was shocked.

I saw that the group of men and horses galloped to the front, dismounted and knelt down, and said, "Linjiang City has fallen, and the army of Jiuyou has been killed." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed greatly, Wu Hong snatched the officer's battle report, opened it and looked at it quickly for a while, and his face became gloomy.

"My father" casually let go of the battle report, and Wu Hong's eyes became stunned.

"The city lord's manpower fought to the last moment, and he died gloriously, and the soldiers of the people in the city were killed and wounded innumerably, and now I am afraid" The officer looked sad and angry.

This Nine Shadows Army, legend has it that it has divine weapons and is invincible, and it has taken the east of the Tonghai River in less than half a year, half of the rivers and mountains of Daluo, and no one is invincible.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they left on the front foot, the Jiuyou Army hit Linjiang City, and now they are coming to Lizhou City, and I believe that they will hit the city soon.

"Young master, this is not the time to be sad, the most important thing now is to prepare for the enemy." On the side, Peng Yuan said in a low voice.

Wu Hong is also a person who has experienced war, and his heart must not be weak, suppressing his sadness, he immediately turned to the general of Lizhou City and said, "Please also ask the general to spread the word immediately, I want to see the city lord and report the military situation." ”

The general did not dare to slack off, nodded, and rode his horse towards the city.

The news soon spread throughout Lizhou City, and Wu Hong's 100,000 troops were also arranged, and the bastard son of the city lord still wanted to tie the marriage to this day, Wu Hong of course categorically refused, his father's family died, and it was the time of the funeral, how could he care about getting married.

Nangong Li naturally understood that this was not the time to talk about marriage, and he didn't care, Wu Hong was also wise, and he didn't send the 100,000 troops he brought directly to Nangong Li, but held it tightly in his hands.

Wu Hong arranged the army in a military camp in Nancheng, and his sister Wu Ling also arranged an exquisite room to live in, and threatened that if he did not avenge his father's revenge, he would resolutely not talk about marriage, although he was talking about himself, but others also saw that this was said to Nangong Li, if the Jiuyou Army came over, he did not destroy the enemy army, and he would not marry his sister to the son of the city lord.

Of course, Nangong Li will not have any opinions at this time, if he really annoys Wu Hong, and insists on forcibly marrying Wu Ling with his son Nangong Feng's temperament, Wu Hong will definitely be dissatisfied at that time, the Nine Shadows Army has come over, where do they still have the leisure time to start infighting, Nangong Li is not an idiot
