Training, training, or training

The Iron Banner Army initially formed in Huaxia City, in addition to the infantry on the surface, also had a small number of cavalry.

It's just that most of these cavalry came from the rout from the north, and a very small number of old troops loyal to Guo Fei came to hear the call, that is, the combat strength was five, and they could not be expected to be a fighting force in a short period of time.

In addition, a group of people who were secretly trained, codenamed Vulcan, had initially developed a hint of fierce taste after more than a month of dung.

Taihang Mountain is big enough, and there are too many places where they can explore their potential, so Ren Zhongxing takes them to walk in the mountains, often going there for several days. In the past few times, some small robbers in the mountains, who were unwilling to join the rout of Huaxia City, were gradually cleared, and most of them had blood on their hands in the latest way of fighting.

At the same time, under the arrangement and training of Guo Fei and the Xie family's iron guards and the old Tiqi department, the establishment and quality of the Iron Banner Army are also developing rapidly.

Although in Xie Shence's view, it is far from reaching the level of the Northwest Cavalry of the original ambush section of the Hulu Belly Mountain, and it is still 5678 streets away from the strong army Dabaiyu Cavalry and the Northwest Linqin Guard in Xie Shence's mind, and the recovery of the army's morale and the army's self-confidence is still considerable.

After all, people's hearts have not collapsed to the point of collapse at the touch of a button, and they are still available.

With the current scale of Huaxia City's soldiers and tens of thousands of residents, it is really difficult to pose a threat to the Yanren Iron Cavalry when it is heading south. Especially when the food is not sufficient, the Yanren envoys came one after another, and there was a posture of coercion and temptation.

This is a great problem for Huaxia City at present.

It's not about the difficulty of the choice, it's just about whether you have the time to respond to your choice.

As for the choice, it already needs not be explained.

Yan people don't want money to promise to co-rule, divide and so on, except for children, now illiterate people know that it is just a white strip, and they must not be involved with it. Not to mention anything else, the small friction that occurred when Yan Jun and Sima Bi sat on the ground to share the spoils in the past half a year is a signal that cannot be concealed: Yan people, don't conspire with them. Moreover, it is already a consensus that the people of China do not vote for foreigners in the mountains.

Forced by the pressure of the Yan people and the pressure of time for their own urgent needs, Huaxia City could only be noncommittal about the Yan people's persuasion, and dragged it out like this. During this period, taking advantage of the maturity of the grain, he attacked two county towns that were not large for the Yan army, and robbed some grain, and after paying the equivalent amount of silver, he was tolerated by the Yan army to a limited extent.

However, as a deterrent, the Yan army dispatched a Fanyang iron cavalry, with 3,000 people, and stationed in the mountain pass of Huaxia City for more than ten days, and slaughtered two villages by the way when they returned.

These things have tested the bottom line of the Yan people, which is a good thing for Xie Shence and Huaxia City, because it means that many things in the next place do not need to spend a lot of time to test and pave the way, which can save a lot of human and financial costs.

Of course, Fan Yang's iron cavalry slaughtered the village, which also cast a layer of dust on Xie Shence's reputation again.

Based on the cascading effect of the fish in the pond, some old Confucian scholars looked for Xie Shence's "theory" several times.

-- Actually, it is quarrels, blowing beards, staring at eyes, and the like are indispensable, but there are a few bold ones, and they also vaguely greet the ancestors of Xie Shence.

However, when Xie Shence sent people out to bury the two slaughtered villages and did the rituals, the sound gradually went down. Because Xie Shence had already worked hard to gather people from outside into the mountains beforehand, which was obvious to all.

Moreover, Xie Shence is not a Dharma dojo that is done to appease people's hearts, in fact, Xie Shence also feels a lot of guilt in his heart for the villagers who have suffered unjustified disasters. It's just that this kind of guilt has no outlet to vent, so it can only be stuffy in my heart.

In this way, the slaughtered villagers who refused to give up their land because of their stubbornness and even wounded the soldiers of Huaxia City may rest in peace, but the living, those who have compassion, are still doing what they think they should do. The voices of criticism, insults, and insults will never disappear. Confucian scholars are not so appeased.

Soon after, after a cool autumn rain, things finally changed.

The visitors from Shandong Road, after many twists and turns, finally came to Huaxia City.

"The young master of my family has inquired in many ways, only to learn that the adult is here, in the next opinion, this place is still insufficient as a pure land in a corner of peace, and the adult has great ambitions, and he will not stay here for a long time to tell the truth, my young master wants to invite the adult to go out of the mountain and help him."

The person who came was dignified and upright, his body was powerful, and he still had a new wound on his face, which did not affect his appearance and added three points of domineering, if it wasn't for the news that he did fight with the small force of the Yan people, Xie Shence would have thought that this person deliberately stabbed him in the face.

Lu Yihe, Lu Zhang's cousin, one of the rookies of the Lu family who shined in the previous battle between Lu Zhang and Sima Bi Murong City, but compared to his brother Lu Zhang, he lost two points to learn.

This is not to say that Lu Yihe is a reckless man, in fact, he himself is also smart, but since the Lu family already has a person with a very outstanding brain, he is not a descendant of the lineage, so he gave up the idea of developing literary talent and became a very warrior and a horseman.

Since Lu Zhang can let him come to Huaxia City to be a lobbyist, it means that he is competent enough, at least he will not make things worse.

Xiao used righteousness, coercion and temptation, and the two sides were reserved in the early stage, and then put the carriage and horses to talk, basically contributing to this matter, and there was no problem.

-- This is Lu Yihe's idea, of course, it is also what he thinks, Xie Shence is the most correct choice.

Things are already obvious, the Yan people break the realm, and everyone is in danger under the tired eggs, that's for sure, huddle together to get warm, no matter from which angle you think about it, it seems to be better than a plate of loose sand being broken by each one.

What's more, calculating the time, the vanguard of Emperor Jin's personal expedition should have been in contact with the most elite soldiers in Shandong Province.

"I'm a rough person, and I don't understand what happened in the DPRK before. But since the young master asked me to come, I must have meant the same thing."

"Whether I'm an idiot or not, whether the words are good or not, you may not have a choice."

"Your Majesty's heavenly soldiers are coming, since Your Excellency has not surrendered to the Yan people to be the lackeys of the barbarians, you will never be caught in the middle to survive when the two sides are at war. You and I both know that this is impossible. Since it is already a national war, the two armies are facing each other, and there is no room for a third party in front of the battle. ”

"What's more, it's still a very weak third party."

"You see, what I said is not good, and the faces of everyone here are not good-looking, but you did not point at my nose and scold me at the first time, let alone let the knife and axe hand come in and chop me into meat sauce, which proves very well, at least in the next words, it is worth your consideration."

This is very simple and hurtful, but because it seems to be the truth, to a certain extent, it also cuts off the possibility of some people to refute it.

And so there was silence.

Lu Yihe drank tea quietly. This year's new tea in the mountains is very fragrant, and the faint fluff on the tip of the tongue makes people feel very meaningful, but unfortunately a large number of old men have a straight face and are eager to eat his expression, which makes Lu Yihe feel a little disappointed.

But he would never have a seizure at this time.

In fact, Lu Yi not only did not mean to have a seizure, but was very careful.

His heart was not as calm as it appeared.

The young man at the front, who was one or two years younger than himself, had a deep understanding of how powerful he was.

In those years, when he was still worried about whether to fight with the little children in the clan, the people in front of him had already poked out a huge basket on the grassland, which made the old men who would only show up at the clan assembly be amazed.

By the time he decided to be a reckless man in his life, that person had become a hot figure in the Great Jin Kingdom, and the former Admiral of the Tiqi Division who came to Shandong Province was said to have been squeezed out by him.

As for later, his military exploits in Dingzhou and Jizhou shook off the sharpest big white fish in the world, and set up a martial arts hall, so that the young man of the Gu family, who was as famous as the young master, called Mr., Lu Yihe's feeling for Xie Shence was completely different.

At least within reach, he is not as good as Lu Zhang, and people with the same name as Lu Zhang have great respect for Xie Shence, and Lu Yihe does not think that he is qualified to ridicule anything. He's a reckless man, but he's got brains.

So in his opinion, Xie Shence was silent, just looking at Lu Zhang's handwritten letter and not speaking, which seemed to be very meaningful.

The silence on the other side and the anger of the people in the hall made him feel more and more pressure. So the sweat slowly soaked his back.

Most of the water in the teacup has been drunk, and if you drink it again, it will be timid, Lu Yihe put down the cup a little embarrassed, feeling the temperature of the remaining tea in his hand, and he was a little uncertain in his heart.

For the first time, he had doubts about his own success.

It's not because he may have said something wrong, it's just because the young man in front of him can't see through it.

Yes, Lu Yihe thought he could see through. After waiting for a day, when he saw the young man who walked a little fast for the first time, Lu Yihe felt that this person was actually panicked, this person was actually afraid, maybe he was waiting for someone to come from his side, so he could borrow the donkey from the slope, as long as he talked about it, he was basically nine out of ten.

However, the other party just didn't speak, and he suddenly realized that perhaps, he had never seen through.

It's just that there is no reason for him not to surrender!

No, it's not surrendering, it's joining forces, it's forming alliances. They were not allowed to abandon the existing one, and the entire establishment was pulled to Shandong Province, which was only nominally subordinate, and this level of cooperation was actually very loose. Isn't it sincerity?

Of course, Xie Shence's wife and children are going to be sent to Shandong Province. The Lu family will definitely protect him.

So, what is there to hesitate about?

Lu Yihe raised his eyes and looked at Xie Shence, and coincidentally found that the corners of Xie Shence's mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was smiling.

Lu Yihe didn't know how much kindness there was in this smile, but his heart beat suddenly.

At this time, the young man above broke the silence.

"Okay, what you mean, I understand that since that's the case, let's go down first, and I'll talk to Gongzi Lu."

Lu Yihe opened his mouth, and said in his heart, you didn't ask anything, and they didn't say anything, how can you understand? And if you talk to me, why do you have to avoid all of them?

After everyone left, Xie Shence picked up the teacup and moistened his mouth, and asked, "You are from Shandong, how is the situation in Shandong Province now?" ”

Lu Yihe frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know what kind of situation you are asking. ”

"Military intelligence, did Sima Bi's vanguard cross the Yellow River?"

"I don't know." After a pause, Lu Yihe said coldly: "No comment." ”

"yes, I see."

- You know again? You know what to do! I didn't say anything!

Lu Yihe roared in his heart.

"Hehe, the boy laughed."

Lu Yihe's smile was a little stiff.

"No, I'm not joking." Xie Shence was very serious, looked at Lu Yihe's eyes and said, "I know that the situation in Shandong Province is not optimistic now. On both sides of the Yellow River, the battle line is too long, you don't have enough manpower, it is impossible to achieve strict defense on the whole line, and the elite of the Shandong Provincial Army, excluding your Lu family's private army, there should not be much real combat power left. ”

"The reason why I asked Sima Bi and not Yan Jun just now is because I believe that even if Yan Jun snatched most of the documents and atlases of Hejian Mansion, there would be no way to cross the river in a period of time, and when it comes to crossing the river, the flood season has not completely passed, and their offensive has already started, and it can only be that Sima Bi, who is no longer familiar with Shandong Dao, will grasp the opportunity."

"You didn't answer my question, but because Lu Zhang, maybe it was the confession of the old immortal of your Lu family, and you were not allowed to disclose the information to me. But it doesn't matter, these are things that are easy to predict, and I will know if you don't say it. Of course, the fact that you are not willing to share even such superficial information is a sign that your sincerity is not sufficient. ”

Lu Yihe sighed slightly, and his heart was really as the young master said, this Xie Shence was a very cunning person. knew that he had no way out, but he insisted on picking out the words and taking advantage of the corners of his mouth.

What a bastard, Lu Yihe thought so.

"Your Majesty's Northern Expedition will arrive soon." Although he despised Xie Shence very much, Lu Yihe still gave this sentence lightly.

Your Majesty is coming with a large army, what danger can there be in Shandong Province? Not enough troops? Isn't it enough that the Northern Expeditionary Army is coming?

As for the Northern Expeditionary Army, everyone knows that your Xie family has been broken, and Your Majesty no longer trusts you, so how can you be a wall grass between my Great Jin and the Yan Army's rebellion?

Half-heartedness will only lead to an army, and that is the end of you.

Our sincerity doesn't seem to be so important in the face of your life and death, right?

"In that case"

Xie Shence smiled, picked up Lu Zhang's handwritten letter on the table at will, and gently sent it forward.

"You can go. I will not agree to any of these conditions. ”

With the strength of Xie Shence, the letter fell in front of Lu Yihe.
