Chapter 23: Out of the City (Part II)
Xie Yu rode on a horse, the remaining two entourages followed closely, on the right was a man who could not see the head at a glance, followed by fifty soldiers around him, this scene was really a little as exciting as the chief's review, fifteen years of life in the house had already made him have endless depression, although today's trip out of the city made so many displaced people frightened, it was indeed seen the cruelty of war in this era, how many people lost their homes, and this small number of people were lucky to be saved by themselves, those thoughts couldn't help but make him excited, happy in his heart, and slapped the horse's buttocks, Ran ahead of the crowd.
The two entourages were frightened and colorless, as ordinary people in the house, not to mention that they could see this young master every day, they also saw it every three or five places, from the impression, but they had never seen the master ride a horse, seeing the mule and horse galloping wildly, so frightened that the six gods had lost the five gods, and ran desperately, shouting while running: "Stop the startled horse, stop it!" β
Who is sitting above, everyone knows, hearing the shouts behind them, all the men immediately rushed to surround them, no one is afraid of death at all, if anyone can save the life of this big family, it is really a good opportunity to soar.
The soldier who was kicked in the ass was urging the crowd to walk quickly in front, heard the sound behind him, looked back, and saw that the horse was running quickly, but the knight on the horse did not have the slightest panicked look, and the calm look was clearly the son of the family who was indulging in galloping, but there were so many people around, the horse was timid, and he would be frightened by these people if he didn't want to be frightened.
Xie Yu was a little strange, seeing that everyone was running over, the two entourages behind him roared hoarsely, and he knew in his heart that he was afraid that he would fall, and was about to tighten the reins, when he saw a military man in front of him stepping on his horse, stretching his arms forward, looking at the posture, he clearly wanted to block the frightened horse with his body, there was no three, two, three, how dare he go to Liangshan, this person must have some ability, otherwise he would not have this courage, the impact force of the galloping horse is more than a thousand catties, and he is not dead or injured if he gently rubs it, not to mention that this looks like a thin sergeant.
He wanted to stop the horse, but when he saw the other party's calm eyes, he couldn't help but think in his heart, and wanted to try this person's skill, so he didn't control his speed and rushed straight over.
The military man's face was full of excitement, only to see the horse rushing to the front, the hooves were raised, and when the momentum was about to end his life, he saw his feet pushing the ground, stretching his arms forward, shouting "stop", and the two palms grabbed the horse's hooves that stepped down, everyone exclaimed, and couldn't bear to watch, but the military man's body did rise out of thin air, the joints exploded, and the red face was full of determination.
"Tear~" The military uniforms around him were shattered with great force, and the white steel teeth opened, and he shouted: "Fall!" β
The mule and horse themselves were not frightened just now, and they didn't want to be caught by the strange man in front of them, but they were indeed frightened, and the strength of the rush was completely received by the muscular arms, and then at the same time as stepping into the air, the hooves lost support, and the horse's body was already a little tilted, and the military man rose deeply, and he was about to hug the son on the horse.
"Hahahahahaha~~" Xie Yu rose from the horse as lightly as a flying swallow, flipped a few times in the air in a dashing manner, stepped on the ground with both feet, and the short mule and horse "poof" fell to the ground, struggling to stand up and want to run, but was already suppressed by the crowd: "Drink~ha~ Hey, don't move, your mother, don't step on my brother's egg, oops~It hurts~"
Seeing that he was in the air, the military man used his momentum to rush to Xie Yu's side and hugged his fists and smiled: "The son is so handsome, but these people are worried about you." β
Xie Yu is now almost shaking the fan, that unearthly temperament, looking at the person in front of him with a smile, only to see that the military uniform on his body has been tattered, but he has clearly not been hurt at all, it can be seen how outstanding the other party's skills are, and he can't help but admire: "Where, where, your skills are applauded, dare to ask how to call it, but it hurts!" β
The military man said loudly: "Little Ma Wenbiao, a native of Liangzhou, has been putting horses for the master's family since he was a child, and he has some brute strength. β
Xie Yu's eyes lit up, this military man was born thin, his facial features were indeed correct, he had been letting go of the horse since he was a child, he was familiar with this horse, and he was born with such divine power, but he couldn't help but ask for it, and he couldn't help but say with the intention of soliciting: "Look at your skills, are you willing to come to the Xie family to serve?" β
The soldier was overjoyed in his heart, and said with some annoyance: "When I joined the army, I signed a document with the officer, I'm afraid."
Xie Yu knew that the military household belonged to the military government, and he would be in the army for generations after entering the household, so he smiled and said: "This is all a trivial matter, I just ask you if you are willing to follow me?" β
How could Ma Wenbiao not know the power of the Xie family, the small military household is just eliminated in their eyes, if they can keep up with this master, the future will naturally be much stronger than being a small soldier, and he quickly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Ma Wenbiao is willing to follow the son!" β
The people and soldiers who held down the horse saw that this guy had grabbed the jackpot, and directly followed the son of the Xie family, and they didn't care about the horses when they landed, and they hugged them one after another, shouting nonsense.
"Childe, look, this small muscle, three punches to kill the tiger!"
"Childe, Childe, look, I am the best in our township, when the thief comes, he will kill one with one punch!"
"Childe, Childe~~"
The more Xie Yu listened to the words, the more unsound the words became, and shouted: "Don't worry, wait until you enter the military village, I will choose some people who are good at fighting in a few days, as long as you have the ability, the door of the Xie Mansion will be open for you, hurry up, you are going to be noisy, but it will be dark." β
When everyone heard this, they were very happy, and they walked back to the road one after another, and moved forward in an orderly manner.
The mule and horse were suppressed, and at this moment they had been helped up by several soldiers, Ma Wenbiao stepped forward to touch it, calmed the animal's emotions, and then looked around and said: "Childe, the horse is fine, there are some skin injuries." β
Xie Yu stepped up with confidence, looked at the two entourages with blank eyes, and said angrily: "Loyalty is commendable, and I really don't know the state of affairs, it's a pity, it's a pity!" After speaking, he beckoned to Ma Wenbiao and asked him to follow, then gently shook the reins and walked up "deservedly".
The two entourages looked at Ma Wenbiao's hateful teeth, and everyone around them envied this military man's shit luck.
After walking for two hours, he saw a manor in front of him from a distance, Xie Ju brought some sergeants from the village, and several officers stood on the road early, and when he saw the men coming, he stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect the young master to ride a horse." β
Xie Yu turned over and dismounted and said, "The young master will know more, you will find out slowly in the future." β
Several officers commanded the sergeants to arrange for these people to gather outside the village, and stepped forward to salute with fists: "The subordinates have seen the young master!" β
One of them, a burly man who looked to be about forty, strode forward and said, "Lang General Xie Ying has seen the young master!" β
Lang General is a five-grade military attachΓ©, the Xie family's military village is set up by Xie An's mansion, there are hundreds of hectares of fertile land, the village has its own ordnance bureau, can forge its own blades and armor, the initial public equipment 8,000 parts, as the Xie family's military power is getting bigger and bigger, the number of private soldiers is more than 20,000 private soldiers at the peak, which caused the criticism of the imperial court, Emperor Xiaowu's speculation, Xie An went to Guangling to avoid trouble, the number of troops was reduced to the match, to Xie Xuan's hands, because of its good training, the Beifu soldiers he trained are extremely powerful, so that everyone is afraid of its momentum, The number of private soldiers rose to 15,000 again, and after Xie Yan took over, there were many rebellions around him, and there were more than 10,000 troops actually registered in the military village, and some recruited or famous, the actual number would not be less than 20,000, and this counterinsurgency took away 10,000 people, and there were thousands of soldiers with combat effectiveness in the village.
Xie Ying explained the situation with his ears, and the steward of Zhuangzhong also reported the situation of grain storage, and it should not be a problem to feed thousands of children and these strong men, but if the imperial court found out, there would be some sins, and the shrewd steward cautiously hinted.
How could Xie Yu not know these ways, and said to Xie Ying and the steward: "Settle these people first, let them work in the fields, and wait for their uncle to come back, and decide how they will go or stay." β
Xie Ying nodded and asked people to arrange the accommodation of these people, and the steward knew that this young master was Xie Yan's nephew, and it was the first time he came to Junzhuang, so he enthusiastically introduced the situation in the village while walking.
Xie Ying's eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to Xie Ju and said: "Xie Sima, you are really good as a personal soldier, the master is fighting ahead, you follow the young master to bring so many idlers who eat food over, and you won't stop it?" β
Xie Ju smiled helplessly: "Brother, you also know that the young master can do whatever he wants, we are just a follower, don't be embarrassed as brothers, you and I have known each other for more than 20 years, can't you see that this master is different from other young masters?" β
Xie Ying grinned, slapped his cheeks fiercely with his hand and said: "Damn, when will this toothache get better, bring so many people over, I'm just afraid of the master's blame, now the wind is tight, if you can cause less trouble, try to provoke as little as possible, since the people have already brought, what else is there to say, go, go in." β
Xie Juju smiled, followed closely behind Xie Ying and walked towards the village.
Xie Yu came for the first time, looking at the outside of the village is composed of several circular walls, there are horses everywhere, the soldiers in leather armor are full of spirit, a team patrols around, and crosses the moat river, only to see that the tall village gate is made of several giant trees, there is a good patrol platform on the village, the archers are looking down like electricity, and when they go inside, there are countless houses around, and the field is also full of various weapons and training dummies and some tools, In the field, a team of nearly 1,000 people stood heroically.
I walked inside for half an hour, and then I arrived at the main hall, which is the place where the soldiers discussed, through the past, it is a vast courtyard, surrounded by countless houses, looking ahead, that is where Xie Yan rests, and the place where the distinguished guests are received, I thought it was over, who knew that through the lobby, it was an incomparably huge open space, a row of stables on the left, several soldiers were feeding with forage, and on the right was countless grain tuns, which were heavily guarded, and he couldn't help but boil his blood and think!
