(Thank you for the reward from the wind and rain sister, it's really mighty.) ）

"Oh, you are Yan Yun who killed the Goryeo soldiers on the bank of Liaoshui and snatched back the body of General Mai?"

Xin Shixiong's exaggerated expression and exaggerated tone were very expressed, he took two steps and took Li Xian's hand and said: "Then you killed the enemy on the east bank of Liaoshui, I have the heart to take Zuo Tunwei people and horses across the river to help, but there is no king's order, even if I, the general of Zuo Tunwei, do not dare to lead the army to move, last night His Majesty also told me that you want to come to my Zuo Tunwei, I am really happy that I have not slept all night, if it is not for today's promotion of the account, I will personally go to the camp gate to pick you up." ”

He bit the words General Zuo Tunwei very hard, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was now Zuo Tunwei's head of the family.

Yu Wenshi and mocked in his heart: You will be happy that you have not slept all night, but I am afraid that you will not be able to sleep all night when your heart is blocked.

Li Xian hurriedly replied: "The general is too polite, it is rude for the kid not to visit the general first." ”

Yu Wenshi was stunned, and said in his heart that this kid would also say a few hypocritical polite words. He looked at Li Xian, only to see the latter quietly glance at him, what does that mean, pretending to be okay. Yu Wenshi smiled and said, "Why, the general doesn't plan to invite me in to sit?" ”

Xin Shixiong laughed and said: "The horse is stingy when he said this, when did the gate of the Zuotun guard not be open to the horse?" ”

He made a gesture of invitation sideways, and Yu Wenshi walked in first after a few polite words. Although he is much lower than Xin Shixiong in terms of official position, he married Princess Nanyang as a concubine, and he also has the title of county duke, but Xin Shixiong is far inferior to him. Xin Shixiong has been climbing in the army for so many years, and now he is just a marquis.

But a high title does not mean that the official position is high, Li Yuan, who is the Duke of Tang Guo, was not a petty official in Huaiyuan Town who was a five-grade grain protection captain before, because of his meritorious service in protecting grain, Yang Guangcai promoted his official to the fourth grade. With the dignitary of the Duke of Tang, even if he saw a general, he had to speak politely, and it was unknown how much depression Li Yuan had in his heart.

Li Xian walked at the end, and the three of them entered the big tent and sat down separately. Xin Shixiong was polite, and Li Xian sat down in the last position.

Xin Shixiong glanced at Li Xian and praised: "Sure enough, he is a hero out of a young man, when he dares to fight with the Koreans with a dozen horsemen and horses on the bank of Liaoshui, the young man is indeed extraordinary, he can win the favor of His Majesty, and the future is immeasurable." ”

Li Xian hurriedly said politely: "It's just that I'm lucky, I recklessly crossed the river with more than a dozen children of the family who are familiar with martial arts, the original intention was to catch up with the army and serve the country, who would have happened to encounter the Goryeo people who desecrated the body of General Mai, and rushed forward in a moment of anger." ”

Xin Shixiong said: "You can't say that, even if you are reckless, who dares to face the tens of thousands of Goguryeo troops with more than a dozen horsemen?" “

Li Xian repeatedly pushed back, but he refused to accept Xin Shixiong's praise. Xin Shixiong saw that this young man was not a wild boy who was not polite, and his impression of him changed a little. Yu Wenshi sat on the side and sipped his tea, chuckled slightly, and said in his heart that this kid was not really stupid, and he learned it with a few words. I think his family is not a small rich family, maybe he is also one of the best families in the local area. It's just that Yu Wenshi and Searching for intestines and stomach scraping didn't think about where on the ground in the north the surname Yan is more famous. He doesn't care, he can't think of it, but it's nothing, the territory of the Great Sui is vast and almost boundless, how can he know all about the rich families in a city and a county?

The Great Sui was a prosperous business, and although the social status of merchants was far inferior to that of farmers, there were many people who became giants by virtue of hard work and brains. Although these people are unable to enter the house, and even have a lot of money but are not even allowed to wear brocade clothes, the wealth in their hands is amazing. For example, Yu Wenshi and the Dongjun Weinan Xu family who knew it, there was no official in the family, but they were rich, and they were really a family that should not be underestimated. Thinking of this, Yu Wenshi also thought that although the merchant magnates did not have a high social status, they held a large enough amount of wealth, and if the imperial court could pay proper attention to them, it might be a good thing for the imperial court.

"Why are you interested in coming to me today?"

Xin Shixiong asked Yu Wenshi and Dao.

Yu Wenshi, who was pondering, was in a trance for a moment, and said how could he be distracted. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty entrusted me with an errand to coordinate the preparation of the grain and grass required for the expedition of the army. ”

Xin Shixiong's eyes changed, he glanced at Li Xian, and said in his heart, Could it be that this young man and the Yuwen family are old acquaintances? Otherwise, how could Yi Yu Wenshi and this guy who is above the top talk with him for so long and still enter my Zuotun Guard together? Listening to the meaning of his words, he is in charge of the grain and grass, could it be that he is in charge of the grain and grass baggage, so as to signal to me, if he can settle this boy surnamed Yan well, he will open the door of convenience? He subconsciously glanced at Chen Qi who was standing behind him, and the latter nodded at him quietly.

Xin Shixiong immediately smiled and said, "The horse has worked hard. ”

Yu Wenshi said: "Since you have received this errand, you naturally don't dare to slack off, but it can't be said to be hard." It's just that the baggage that the army needs to carry on the expedition is too large and complicated, which is a headache. ”

Xin Shixiong pondered for a moment and said tentatively: "Since the horse came to ask, then I will say it directly." In this expedition, it was calculated that each soldier had to carry three stones of food, which was too heavy, and the seven things he carried with him were already quite complicated and heavy, and he had to carry three stones for food alone, and it was inconvenient to march and hurry...... In the battle of crossing the river, my Zuo Tunwei lost a lot of horses, can the horses ...... How much more care? ”

The equipment of the government soldiers, except for heavy weapons and war horses, are basically self-prepared, Xin Shixiong said the seven things that he carries, refers to the things that the soldiers of the government soldiers have to carry, clothes, quilts, assets, things, bows and arrows, saddles, and weapons, which does not include food. According to the military structure of the Great Sui, the government soldiers are equipped with 500 horses for every 2,000 people, and four people share a horse to carry the baggage, which can barely be shared in peacetime, but the grain and grass carried by the individual soldiers on this expedition are too much, and if the horses carrying the baggage are not enough to carry the real number, the march is indeed somewhat difficult.

Yu Wenshi nodded noncommittally, and suddenly turned his head and asked Li Xian, "An Zhi, what about your seventeen subordinates?" Why don't you see us in the camp together? ”

Li Xian said: "There are still some trivial matters for them to solve, and after I go back today, I will come to see the general again in the morning." ”

The latter sentence of his sentence was said to Xin Shixiong.

Xin Shixiong sneered in his heart, he could guess from Yuwenshi and his lukewarm appearance that this kid surnamed Yan was really involved with the Yuwen family! Look, even Yu Wenshi and he personally came forward to ask him for an official! In that case, why don't you just pull Zuo Zhenwei?

Yu Wenshi first gave Xin Shixiong a temptation, telling him that the grain, grass and baggage were all under his jurisdiction, and when Xin Shixiong asked for him, he diverted the topic, and Xin Shixiong was not a stupid person and naturally understood what he meant.

"Xuanmou, check what is still lacking in the army, although An Zhi is a newcomer, he is deeply valued by His Majesty, and he should not be slackened."

Chen Qi, who was standing behind him, pretended to find out the roster and looked at it, and then said with some embarrassment: "The captains of each regiment are full, only ...... It's just that Cui Qing, the captain of the rear team escorting the baggage, was killed in battle when he crossed the river, and the position was still vacant. ”

Hum!

Yu Wenshi snorted coldly in his heart, and said in his heart that your lie is too fake. In the battle of crossing the river, none of the captains of the regiments died, but the captains of the rear team who escorted the grain and grass were killed? It's just that he is not in a hurry, he just lowers his head and tastes tea, the expression on his face is complacent, and the ancient well is not wavering.

Xin Shixiong glanced at Li Xian in embarrassment and said, "An Zhi...... You see, I'm really not good at arranging...... The captain who escorted the baggage in the rear team was also a positive sixth product, and he ......"

He glanced at Yu Wenshi, and saw that the other party's originally calm face was faintly unhappy, he gritted his teeth and changed his words: "I think so, I will transfer another captain to the rear team to escort the baggage, and let An Zhi make up for the vacant position." ”

Just when Yu Wenshi was smiling, Li Xian suddenly arched his hand and said, "No need! ”

He stood up and said, "I'm new here, how can I let the general show favoritism for the sake of resettling me?" Speaking of which, it is difficult for the general to convince the public, and I have no face to meet in the robe. Escort the grain and grass, let the grain and grass be escorted, Yan will definitely live up to the general's high expectations. ”

The sincerity he said made Xin Shixiong, Yu Wenshi and Chen Qi all stupid.

Idiot!

Yu Wenshi scolded fiercely in his heart.

He stood up and said to Xin Shixiong: "Since the general wants to arrange military affairs, it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time. Then I have to go to the baggage camp to have a look and take my leave. ”

Seeing that his face was unhappy, Xin Shixiong hurriedly glanced at Chen Qi. Chen Qi pretended to look through the roster carefully, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Yes, Captain Guo Yi of the B Battalion and the C Regiment has not recovered from his injuries, and now the position of the regiment commander is temporarily replaced by Hao Datong, the brigade commander, because there is no vacancy, I didn't look carefully just now." ”

In order to get more horses, Xin Shixiong lost a person.

It's just that at this time, he had to pull down his face and say: "Since this is the case, An Zhi, then how about you temporarily grieve in the B Battalion and the C Regiment?" ”

As he spoke, he persuaded himself in his heart, just give it up, for the sake of Zuo Tunwei, I will go against my will. If you can get more war horses from Yu Wenshi and his hands, it will be far more affordable to gather the military heart of the Zuotun guard soldiers than to offend a Yan Yun. When he first took charge of the army, he was always thinking about winning over the hearts of the army, and the temptation that Yu Wenshi pointed out before was indeed what he urgently needed, so he had to give up his plan to give Li Xian a dismount.

Who thought that Li Xian didn't appreciate it, he looked at Xin Shixiong and said very seriously: "I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public if I am in a high position without making an inch of merit, Yan Thank you for the general's promotion, I still ...... Just stay in the back team. ”

Yu Wenshi was really angry this time, he hugged Xin Shixiong and said: "How many horses the general lacks, just let someone report to me according to the number, I will make up for the general in full and leave." ”

His face turned white with anger, and he turned and walked out of the tent.

Li Xian sued Xin Shixiong and chased after him from behind.

"Brother Shiji!"

Li Xian shouted from behind.

"Captain Yan, you should call me a colt!"

Yu Wenshi said with a cold face.

Li Xian smiled and said, "Angry? ”

Yu Wenshi snorted coldly, raised his legs and left.

Li Xian said slowly from behind: "If I really have to do something as a captain of the C Regiment, I'm afraid that I will be played to death." Brother Shiji, you and I have never met, how dare I not appreciate your help so much? It's just that he forcibly asked him to promise me a captain of the soldiers, left the camp, and traveled a long way to fight the enemy, the man held his breath in his heart, and casually sent me to fight a tough battle that was impossible to survive, I originally had the intention of serving His Majesty, if I died in Liaodong like this, wouldn't it be wronged? ”

Yu Wenshi didn't speak, but his pace slowed down slightly.

Li Xian chased after him and said, "Brother Shiji, what's wrong with the escort of grain and grass?" Isn't it a meritorious achievement? ”

Yu Wenshi said coldly: "What does your future matter to me?" ”

Li Xian sighed and said, "Brother Shi... I think, in this way, Xin Shixiong has gone a little bit to me, and then slowly try to do it, the army expedition will be bloody countless battles, and when he has no intention of harming me in his heart, wouldn't it be better for me to find a way to find a position as a soldier? ”

Yu Wenshi snorted and said, "Yes, it turns out that you are not a stupid person! ”

Seeing that his face softened, Li Xian said cheekily: "That...... Brother Shiji, since I am in charge of escorting grain and grass for the rear team of the Zuotun guard, can I give more of this horse? ”

Yu Wenshi looked at Li Xian in disbelief, sighed deeply and said, "Where are you a silly boy, you are thicker than the walls of Liaodong City!" ”
