On the twenty-fifth day of April in the second year of Xianchun.

Jiangnan West Road Xing**Yongxing County.

The official ship left Poyang Lake from Ganshui, entered the river, and went north along the river, and finally arrived at the riverside wharf in Yongxing County in the early morning of the 25th.

The grass is bleak and the eyes are depressed.

The great river, which was once the main artery of the south, will inevitably be depressed in the years of war, and it will no longer be the beautiful scenery of thousands of sails on the river in the past. Thinking about it carefully, it is quite similar to Li Yu's "a river flowing eastward" back then, and I don't know how Taizong, the ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty, will feel when he sees today's scene.

On the banks of the river, more than a dozen people stood on the dock, which had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, and waited listlessly, until the official ship appeared in the distance, but did not change their weak image. I've been on an errand in this kind of ghost place for a long time, and I haven't taken any new general judgments and regimental training envoys in my eyes for a long time, who knows when these officials who come to take office will abandon them without hesitation, just like the former Zhijun who hurried back to Lin'an a few days ago, for fear of being assigned here again.

"Come, come, hurry up and play the music, you have to look like it!" Yongxing Zhixian and Xiancheng hurriedly shouted, no matter what, as the seven-rank officials attached to Guo, if they want to mix well, they have to tie up the new boss anyway.

The officials around him reluctantly smiled, and the musicians standing in the barren grassland behind them also played intermittently under the supervision of a small official in charge of the matter, and it was already thankful that they were not out of tune.

The official ship was already close at hand, slowly leaning on the pier.

The officials who greeted them subconsciously flicked the dust on their clothes, why do they have to look like this? It's just that everyone really doesn't have much hope for this newcomer champion general judge and the training envoy of the Yanai regiment, but if you can hug the thick legs of those big people standing behind them through these two, it will be a good choice.

Just when all the officials were about to show their humility and virtue, they found that the first person to come down was not a purple-robed officer with fluttering clothes, but a general wearing a light armor and a sword hanging from his waist.

Immediately after that, a group of armor soldiers dressed as guards stood in a neat line on the dock, and the aura of murder arose.

The officials couldn't help but shudder, these soldiers looked very different from the local township army that was just eating empty salaries and even skipping drills, and everyone was staring at each other, and they didn't care at all about the officials next to them who nodded and were full of charm.

The sound of footsteps sounded again, and the two purple-robed adults walked off the official ship side by side, followed by several young people in armor or official shirts. After that, a group of strong men dressed as domestic servants were busy carrying all kinds of household goods.

"The lower officials see Lord Tongju, and Master Ye is the envoy of the regiment." The officials hurriedly stood in a row consciously according to the size of their official positions and saluted respectfully.

Wen Tianxiang frowned, obviously not interested in these officials who bowed their heads and flattered them, but said lightly: "Go back to the city." ”

The officials slowly straightened their waists, and a few couldn't help but raise their heads and suddenly found that the sentence was quite stable, but as for the Ye Tuan Lian, he was very young, and his eyebrows were full of flying domineering that was difficult to hide. The same is true of the heads and Simas who are also from various families.

Among all the officials, an inconspicuous middle-aged official quietly met the gaze of Wen Tianxiang and Ye Yingwu, except for the champion who was in the lead, who was genuine, the others could only be said to be blessed with grace, but I don't know how much these pampered Yanei can hold on to between these poor mountains and bad waters?

"The will of the DPRK and China is clear, and the government affairs of the government are managed by this official, so don't forget it." Ye Yingwu said coldly, he must let these people remember that this new regimental training envoy is not a small military attache who is always pressed under the civilian officials, and he still has the aura of the highest civilian official in Xing**.

Xing**, Lao Tzu is still here after all.

"Please get the two officials in the sedan chair." The Yongxing County Commander said respectfully, and the two sedan chairs had been carried over in a swaying manner.

Ye Yingwu smiled coldly, walked straight past the two sedan chairs, casually glanced at the few old horses that had been prepared, and frowned. Behind him, Yang Bao had already quickly pulled Ye Yingwu's mount down from the official boat, Ye Yingwu didn't look at the panicked, surprised and even angry looks of the officials around him, skillfully turned on the horse's back, and then smiled at Wen Tianxiang is bright.

Wen Tianxiang sighed helplessly, and with a wave of his sleeves, Yang Bao hurriedly went to lead Wen Tianxiang's mount over.

Now the officials were only genuinely surprised.

I didn't hear that the civil official didn't ride a horse in a sedan chair.

The middle-aged official in the crowd also subconsciously let out a soft "huh", and his eyes looking at Wen Tianxiang and Ye Yingwu also became a little hot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official is waiting outside Yongxing City!" Ye Yingwu laughed loudly, and Yang Bao behind him also quickly turned over and got on the horse. There were only these three horses on the official ship, and the soldiers did not squint, lined up neatly, and waited quietly for orders. And Jiang Ho and they also looked bitter, until they inevitably ran over. The crazy physical training on the boat in the past few days has made Guo Chang and Guo Yanei, who are about to be hollowed out by wine, look a little rosy.

"Guards, keep up!" Seeing Ye Yingwu and Wen Tianxiang leaving in the dust, Yang Bao pulled the reins of the horse fiercely, roared, and took the lead in beating the horse away. More than 100 pro-soldiers behind him were silent, but they all accelerated their pace.

Many officials stood on the dock and looked at each other, and for a while no one could understand what the two new officials wanted to do.

"Brother Dieshan, you say, what do these two Shangguan mean?" A small official looked at the phalanx of pro-soldiers who had left in the dust, and couldn't help but sigh, "But I have to say that these 100 pro-guards are much stronger than the old, weak, sick and disabled township troops in our city." I heard that a wasteland was cleared out in the north of the city, which was used to station more than 6,000 elite soldiers drawn from all over our Jiangnan West Road, and I don't know if it's true or not, we haven't seen 6,000 people gather together in a formation when we are so big in our lives, how spectacular it must be・・・・・・"

The middle-aged official, known as the "Stacked Mountain", was silent, just stood quietly, letting the mighty river wind blow his face carved with the edges and corners of the years.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The weather in Yongxing after the rain is just right, and the air is filled with a humid and cool atmosphere.

A large area of open space has been opened up in the north of the county, but because of the lack of manpower, the camp tent has not yet been established. I have to admit that the whole camp has been chosen very much in line with the reality of the camp, a mound with a terrain that is obviously higher than the surrounding area stands in the middle of the whole camp, all the weeds in a radius of several miles have been cleared, and the logs used for camping are piled up in the four corners of the camp. A few flags with the word "Song" written on them waved in the wind on the mound, and I am afraid that those who are not commensurate with these are the local villagers who are listless or squatting or sitting on the mound.

After Ye Yingwu circled around Yongxing County, he did not enter the city, but first came to the camp of the first army under his command. The matter here is no longer under the jurisdiction of Wen Tianxiang, Wen Tianxiang has long been out of interest in such things as training soldiers since he was tossed by Ye Yingwu in Qingyuan Mansion, so he went into the city early to hand over the affairs, and by the way helped to settle the family members of the house, Wen Tianxiang's wife Ouyang, six-year-old eldest son Wen Daosheng and other family members also went north from Luling, and they will arrive in Xing** in a few days.

Standing on the earthen platform, Ye Yingwu didn't pay attention to the township soldiers who came up at all, his guards all took heavy steps and insisted on surrounding them, even if there was no danger around, the guards also had the responsibility to surround Ye Yingwu in the middle and guard.

"Zhang Cheng, when will the soldiers and horses from all over the place arrive?" Ye Yingwu said lightly.

Zhang Cheng, who was out of breath in the team, hurriedly stood up and took a few breaths before replying loudly: "Qiyu Group Training Envoy, according to the original estimate, the fastest will arrive tomorrow, and the slowest will be two days later!" ”

Ye Yingwu nodded, Zhang Cheng's body was weaker, and he was not suitable for being a military attache to charge ahead, but it was more than enough for him to take care of some affairs and be a civil official. Now Ye Yingwu has a lot of minions, but the only one who can really rely on it is Wen Tianxiang, but unfortunately Xie Fang didn't know where it was, so he had to pull out the general from the lame man and let Zhang Cheng take it first.

"Guo Chang!"

Guo Yanei, who was desperately carried here by Wang Jin and Ma Tingyou, was about to faint to death, and when he heard Ye Yingwu call himself, his eyelids that had been tightly closed finally opened with great effort, looking at the guy who was sitting on the horse as if he was the king of Hades, and he didn't know how many generations he had scolded his ancestors, anyway, it was more than the eighteenth generation.

"Call you, damn spirited!" Jiang Hao saw that this Guo Yanei was not pleasing to the eye for a day or two, and he was the one who scared Guo Yanei so much that he almost defecated in Pingshui Lou that day, and now seeing that Ye Yingwu finally played a prestige, this guy still did not cooperate with the work, so he naturally scolded mercilessly, and pulled out half of the waist knife without a horsewhip.

What Guo Yanei was most afraid of was Jiang Hao, who drew his sword at every turn, and immediately hit a spirit, and suddenly struggled out of the support of Wang Jin and Ma Tingyou, and looked at Ye Yingwu fixedly.

Ye Yingwu was also ridiculous at this Guo Yanei, who eats hard and not soft, and can only say lightly: "Your body is a little weaker, you must refrain from drinking in the future, you can no longer look for pleasure everywhere, and you must strengthen training every day." Also, the official temporarily handed over the grain and straw of the whole army to you to collect and manage, if anything goes wrong, the officer will ask you! ”

Guo Yanei suddenly laughed so much that his eyes couldn't see, collecting grain for the whole army seemed to be a thankless task, in fact, the grain and straw of the garrison here was in charge of his father, in order to let his son mix up his personal appearance well, presumably his father would not deduct it from it, and even secretly add a little more.

"Entrust you with a heavy responsibility, is that what you say?!" Wang Jinqiang couldn't help laughing, and shouted loudly from behind, so scared that Guo Yanei was trembling and almost in the mud on the ground, Guo Yanei also knew that he was rude at the moment, not to mention that he was not familiar with the place here, and he was surrounded by hooligans and ashes, so he had to eat this loss, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, and hurriedly knelt on the ground respectfully, and saluted Ye Yingwu.

"I hope you don't let so-and-so down." Ye Yingwu said lightly, "The knives in the hands of so many brothers are not vegetarians, and the army should be governed in troubled times, and heavy codes should be used, do you understand?" When the time comes, once the deduction is discovered, the military law will not be merciful! ”

"Xia Guan understands!" It may be the truth that things must be reversed, Guo Yanei has already coaxed soft eggs to the extreme, but now he suddenly changed his temperament, stood up and answered loudly with his fists clenched, as if he was full of confidence in his task, but it scared Jiang Hao and them.

Ye Yingwu had already seen that this gentleman who had not learned or even teased Qiqin was eager to integrate into this small group full of vigor and vigorous strength, and he must have worked hard to complete the logistics task this time.

"Wang Jin, Ma Tingyou, Jiang Hao!" Ye Yingwu then shouted.

The three of them took a step forward at the same time, clasping their fists and singing loudly.

"Wang Jin is responsible for the construction of this hill to the north of the camp, Jiang Hao is responsible for the construction of this hill to the south of the camp, Ma Tingyou is in the middle of the planning, if you have any questions, you can ask Yang Bao." Ye Yingwu set his eyes into the distance, and the entire camp was in full view.

The meaning of this short sentence of order is already very clear, Wang Jin and Jiang Hao, as the most capable of these people, will obviously be given the important task of commanding the left and right wings of the new army, and Ma Tingyou is originally similar to his brother Ma Tingluan, who is stable but not unintelligent, and no one can be offended among several people, so it is very suitable to sit in the center and even adjust the conflict between Wang Jin and Jiang Hao's two violent tempers that may break out at any time.

"Obey!" All three shouted at the same time.

"Let's go, let's go into town." Ye Yingwu turned the horse's head, and Yongxing County in front of him was quietly prostrate at his feet, Ye Yingwu subconsciously looked around, every young face was engraved with hope for the future and a moment of satisfaction, as if he was shocked by the sense of conquest at this moment, nodded with satisfaction, Ye Yingwu continued, "One day, the Tartars of the north will also prostrate under our feet." Walk! ”

Before the words fell, the horse had already rushed down the hill as if it had flown off, and Yang Bao also shouted loudly and followed closely. However, Ye Yingwu seemed to have realized that the guards could not bear the hard work of this long journey, and after galloping under the hill for a while, he grabbed the reins of the horse, and the horse man stood up, and the young man went straight to the rising sun in the east, and the infinite brilliance shrouded a man and a horse, as if the gods had descended into this world.

Spread the light to the cosmos.

At that moment, everyone who stood on the hill, whether it was as steady as Ma Tingyou and Zhang Cheng, or as brave as Jiang Hao and Wang Jin, whether it was Guo Yanei, who wanted to return to the light just now, or Yang Bao who galloped on horseback, everyone inexplicably believed in their hearts that the young man facing the sun in the wilderness would eventually lead them to the light.

The villagers who were originally stationed on the hill were already dumbfounded, and as for the middle-aged official who was hanging far behind on an old horse and was responsible for leading these new officials to the camp, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
