Chapter Eighty-Seven: Returning Home
What is the morale of the army, it can be seen from the study during this period of time, although the captains and brigade commanders are not the most basic figures, but they are the real leaders, some captains and brigade commanders did not come to listen to the lectures, and there are many captains or more, but there are many brigade commanders. In just a few days, Li Xin found that the appearance of the accompanying army had undergone profound changes, which made him very happy.
"The general's teachings have been successful." Even Du Ruhui is also amazed. A general can command the whole army, on the one hand, by money and clear rewards and punishments, on the other hand, by personal charm. In the former, Li Xin may be able to distinguish rewards and punishments, and the latter Li Xin is young in the end, and taking over this army is halfway, and the imperial court casually issued a holy decree, so that Li Xin's previous achievements were wasted, but now after the training of those captains and brigade commanders by the military academy with the battalion, his personal charm has been unconsciously integrated into the army, which has greatly increased Li Xin's prestige in the army. In addition, their official position is above Yang Ning and others, although Yang Ning and others disdain Li Xin, in this case, they are helpless. Therefore, the march of the army was extremely smooth.
This is also a test for Li Xin, Li Xin led the army for the first time, although he has a lot of knowledge in his head, it is not a simple thing to use.
"General, there is Shouyang in front." The army turned around a familiar mountain range, and Duan Qi approached Li Xin and said.
"Yes, it's already in Shouyang." Li Xin was in a trance, he came to this world, and the first person he saw was his mother, a kind and intelligent woman, who gave him his life.
"Duan Qi, lead the army to camp outside the city, the army is not allowed to enter the city, I will go to the Green Willow Villa." Li Xin thought for a while and said.
"I'm afraid that the Cui County Order has already gotten the news." Du Ruhui said with some hesitation.
"Sue SΓΉ Cui County Order, I don't want to visit, I invite him to come to Green Willow Villa, there is one more thing I need his help with." Li Xin said with a smile.
As he spoke, he sat down and galloped on his horse, and galloped towards the Green Willow Villa in the distance, splashing puffs of smoke and dust behind him, leaving the army to slowly move towards Shouyang.
In fact, outside Shouyang City, Cui Yuan, Duan Kuan and other officials of Shouyang are all greeting, this small place actually appeared a general like Huyalang, in Shouyang is a big deal, more importantly, such an official is actually favored by the emperor, the army went to the front, the emperor Xi Γ personally issued an order, let Li Xin pass through Shouyang, this is already a great reward, as Shouyang County Order, Cui Yuan also had to come to greet.
"Brother Duan, the lower officials have to congratulate Brother Duan, Duan Xian's nephew is now the second general of Huya. This position is above you! Cui Yuan quipped with a smile.
"This is all promoted by Li Gongzi. If Master Cui likes it, he can also send Ling Gongzi to the army! Duan Kuan's face was stiff, but there was a look of joy in his eyes, he asked Duan Qi to be Li Xin's subordinate, but it was just a duty of loyalty, but he didn't expect Li Xin to get up so quickly, and his own son also followed behind to get a big bargain, which made him sigh secretly in his heart.
"Hehe, if Childe is willing to take him in, even I am willing to follow Childe around!" Cui Yuan suddenly sighed softly.
"Master Cui regrets this, tsk, when it comes to regret, I'm afraid there is another one?" Duan Kuan's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, looking at the squire behind him, the head of the group was naturally Li Xiong, the head of the Li family, but at this time, his face was gloomy, and he faintly showed a trace of fear.
"Well deserved. It's good that I didn't settle accounts with him. Cui Yuan snorted coldly and said.
"Don't tell me you haven't been settling accounts with him lately?" Duan Kuan said disdainfully.
"Aren't you the same? Hey! Here it comes. Cui Yuan hurriedly said.
At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, followed by smoke and dust, the earth shook, a large army killed over, the front is thousands of cavalry, the back is thousands of infantry, slowly coming, the momentum is pressing, as if the mountains and the sea are overwhelmed, on the front two flags, one is embroidered with "Sui", and the other is the word "Li". Under the banner, a young general came slowly with a big sword in his hand.
"How is that kid?" Duan Kuan said strangely.
"I think General Li has already returned to Green Willow Villa, so I don't want to appear here." Cui Yuan thought of this all of a sudden, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this young boy seems to be not good at the rules of officialdom!
"Shouyang County ordered Cui Yuan to greet the generals." Cui Yuan greeted him and said loudly. In the end, it was in the Sui Dynasty, not in the Song Dynasty, in this dynasty, although the status of military generals was not as good as that of civil officials, but it had not yet reached the point where a general soldier had to be cautious when he saw the county order.
"I've seen Master Cui, Lord Duan." Duan Qi didn't dare to slack off, one of these two people watched him grow up, and the other was his father. jumped off the horse at the moment and said: "General Li has returned to Green Willow Villa, please ask the county commander to move to Green Willow Villa, the general has something important to ask for help." β
"Oh! The soldiers? Cui Yuan's heart moved, and he asked with some hesitation.
"The army is stationed outside the city, no one is allowed to enter the city, if there is a reward in your county, it will be better, if not," Duan Qi said gratefully.
"Yes, yes." Cui Yuan only reacted at this time, and said with a smile: "Although Shouyang is not rich, the food of thousands of people can still be prepared. Master Duan, this matter will be handed over to you, this official will go to see General Li now, and all the squires should go back!" General Li is on the march, the military situation is urgent, and I am afraid that I will not have time to see you. β
"Okay, okay." Many squires are relieved, these Qiu Ba are not easy to mess with, if they want to make some money themselves, isn't it a big loss? As soon as he heard that Li Xin was not coming, he quickly scattered around, and then looked at Li Xiong with sympathetic eyes.
In Shouyang County, who doesn't know that Li Xiong has a concubine who is now a tiger tooth general, and is deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven, but Li Xiong does not want to see Li Xin, and allows the Li family to bully Li Xin.
Although this Li Xin recovered, he repaid his grievances with virtue, but he only attacked the Liu family, and did not touch the Li family at all, no one in Shouyang praised Li Xin, in comparison, he had no sympathy for Li Xiong's father and son, although the Li family was the first strong in Shouyang, but the reputation was very poor, which made Li Xiong extremely angry, originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see if he could ease the relationship with Li Xin, after all, the two sides are relatives, I didn't expect Li Xin to be so faceless, he didn't even meet him, so he went to Green Willow Villa, but Li Xiong didn't have any way. Feeling the ridicule around him, Li Xiong's old face turned red, and he got into his carriage with three steps and two steps, turned around and walked towards the city, but his heart was even more angry.
