Murong Luo did things very neatly, and that night, together with Cui Qian, he sent the injured Zhao Ziming and Zhou Daniu to Li Xu's military camp. There were also more than 200 soldiers who came, all of whom were close associates of Xuzi when he was in the Xiongwu camp. They stayed in the Fenyang Army under the pretext of protecting Zhou Daniu and Zhao Ziming, and never planned to turn back.

One day later, the lieutenants Lu Qin and Liu Yi came to visit in the name of visiting the sick, and after a few words of old talk, the two of them begged, "Since the general can already open a mansion and build a government, it is better to go to His Majesty and bring the two of us together." Save everyone from living those fearful days in the Xiongwu camp every day! ”

Li Xu was surprised and delighted, and his eyes widened and asked the reason. Lu Qin said with a wry smile: "That day, Qin Xingshi took us to save Ziming and Da Niu, and fought a vicious battle with Yu Wenhua in a daze. Unexpectedly, the ironclad evidence did not move the Yuwen family, and Yuwen Shi and the general were still the commanders of the Xiongwu Battalion after that. Qin was angry, and left the next day. Of the rest of the brethren, we are the two most highest. Right now, the Yuwen family has just committed something, so they naturally endure it again and again. If they wait for their Yuwen family to relieve this vitality, neither of us will have any backing behind them, and I am afraid that I will die in the future, and I don't even know how to die! ”

"Are the Yuwen and the generals very ruthless? I remember he wasn't like that in the first place, huh? Li Xu thought about it and asked. He remembered that Qin Xingshi was sent to him by Tang Duke Li Yuan back then, and this person must have been hidden in Li Shimin's army now. If this is calculated, it is estimated that behind the behavior of Zhou Daniu and others trying to bring down the Yuwen family that day, there may not be no Mr. Qin's encouragement. The wrestling of these families is too complicated, and they are not on a firm footing, so it is better not to participate too early.

"Yuwen Shi and General are indeed not such people, but he must think about his family first!" Lu Qin grinned and replied with a wry smile. "At that time, we followed General Li, and in less than three months, we were promoted from an ordinary non-commissioned officer to a brigade commander. In the past few years, he has followed Yu Wenshi and the generals to fight in the east and west, and it is estimated that there are at least fifty or sixty enemy heads cut off, but they have only risen one level, and there is no chance to go further. And those who were inserted by the Yuwen family, there are a lot of credits for not participating in the war, and a lot of them have been sealed when they see the lieutenant and the general! If a brother complains a little, he will be calculated. Whether it was wounded or killed, Yuwen and the general could never track down who was the culprit. ”

Li Xu was short of a low-level officer who was brave and good at fighting, thought about it, and promised with a smile: "I can try my best to arrange this matter, but it is difficult to say whether it will succeed or not." Besides, the Fenyang Army belongs to the border army, and I, a general, have no foundation in the DPRK, and the food and salary in the future will definitely not be as generous as the Xiongwu Battalion. The two of you have thought it through, so that you don't get mixed up in the future and regret it! ”

"I've waited until this moment, and what qualifications do I have to worry about food?" Liu Yi shook his head and smiled wryly, "If General Li can't transfer the two of us out of the Xiongwu camp, as soon as the army leaves Yanmen, I will have to learn from Qin and join the army, so I just run home and farm." Anyway, there are a lot of deserters these days, and most of the government can't catch them! ”

"Not only did I wait, this time the emperor was too partial to the Yuwen family, and he refused to truthfully reward him for defending the city. I'm afraid that as soon as the army leaves Yanmen, there will be a lot of people on the road! Lu Qin also grinned and smiled bitterly. When I followed Li Xu's subordinates, I always felt that although my general was brave, his scheming methods were too simple, and he didn't look like a person who could achieve great things. After these two years of experience, I realized that whether the Lord will succeed in great things, whether he is a hero or not, is far from his own interests. Following a scheming and ruthless coach is far less comfortable than following an open-minded man. Not to mention anything else, first of all, the four words "clear rewards and punishments", the former is impossible to do.

Li Xu smiled and nodded again, promising that if the brothers really had nowhere to go, they could consider temporarily going to the Fenyang army to avoid the limelight. Anyway, there are a lot of vacancies in the Fenyang army, and there are more than 1,800 people of unknown origin who can't see any flaws. Lu and Liu thanked the brothers, and by the way, they mentioned several other old people in the Xiongwu camp. "Brother Qijin died tragically under Yu Wenhua and the knife, and everyone couldn't avenge him, so they had to keep this hatred in their hearts and slowly look for opportunities. Murong Luo and Li Anyuan ran early, and Qin Gang, who joined the army in the Ming Dynasty, was given a degree by a monk last year. Sun Jin, the man in our army, left soon after you left, saying that he saw too much blood in the first half of his life, and he wanted to hang a pot to help the world in the second half of his life. The rest of the old people either lost the war or became the sworn friends of the Yuwen family. The best one in the number is still the general's cousin Zhang Xiu......" Lu Qin glanced at Xuzi, not knowing whether to continue the topic.

"What's wrong with Zhang Xiu, I saw him in the military generals pile when I was in the court, look at the robes, he is now a general, right?" The expression on Li Xu's face did not change at all, and he asked as if he was chatting.

"He is already a general of the German Lang, and he is solid from the fourth grade. This time, Yu Wenshi and the smooth escape from the predicament are said to be more than half of his credit. I guess when Yu Wenshi recovers, the first person I want to recommend is him! Liu Yi pursed his lips, obviously very disdainful of Zhang Xiu's character.

"What ability does he have to help the Yuwen family at such a moment?" Li Xu felt a little strange and asked with a frown.

"The two of us don't know very well. However, I heard from a few brothers who were close to Yuwen's family that the matter of stealing and selling military rations was by no means as simple as everyone knew it now. If they are pursued, not only will the Yuwen family suffer a great disaster, but many people in the court will be unlucky. But the people involved in this matter in the Yuwen family actually died in a daze. At the beginning, the Chinese army in the imperial camp was surrounded by the brothers of our Xiongwu battalion, and others had no chance to go in and kill people. And just when the old general went out and came in, someone helped the Yuwen family cut off the disaster. It is said that the other people who entered the camp at that time were all in the Chinese army with Yu Wenshi and wept, and only General Zhang Xiu went out among them! Lu Qin shrugged his shoulders and summed up in a low voice.

Although the imperial court did not kill Yu Wenhua and his brothers, Yu Wenshi and the general became the heads of the family. General, think about it, isn't the credit of this show not great? Liu Yi shook his head and added.

My cousin took a completely different path from himself. To this day, Xuzi still can't hate Zhang Xiu in his heart. The betrayal of the other party had deeply hurt him, and his current style of acting made him feel disdainful. But in his eyes, it was all a means of climbing up. He understood the temptations that Zhang Xiu faced before taking similar measures, and over the years, he himself had struggled in the face of those temptations again and again, if he hadn't always wanted to hold on to something in his heart, maybe he would have become another Zhang Xiu a long time ago.

"Another one who has made a lot of noise is Cui Qian. He has his own family support behind him, and he is exquisite. Therefore, although the people of the Yuwen family couldn't get along with him, they didn't dare to offend him too much! "After talking about Zhang Xiu's story, Lu Qin naturally mentioned Governor Cui Qian." But this time, he also seemed to have a chill. Before the two of us came to visit the adults, the retired brother once mentioned to the two of us that he wanted to go back to his hometown to work, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity! ”

"It's Boling people who retreat, and it's appropriate to come to the Fenyang Army. When I went to the six counties of Hebei, I just lacked one who was very familiar with the local customs and customs. Li Xu clearly knew what kind of response Cui Qian wanted, and smiled and confessed to Lu and Liu.

In the future, he led the army to garrison in the Boling area, and he rarely had the support of large local households. If Cui Quanli took the initiative to help in the army, it would be much easier to deal with the local government. Those family forces have no less influence in the local area than the government, and with them willing to cooperate, Li Xu doesn't want to make the relationship between them too stiff.

Of course, Cui Qian's tossing and turning revealed that he thought of serving in the Fenyang army, and he must have thought it through. The Fenyang army was stationed at the door of the house, and the Boling Cui clan couldn't help but stretch out their hands to it. It's just that they wooed Li Xu back then, intending to include the other party in their own family and become the puppet and servant of the Cui family. And now, each side has its own advantages, as long as Xuzi is careful enough, a kind of cooperation can be reached between his forces and the Cui family, instead of a relationship of devouring and being devoured.

After seeing off Lu and Liu, other guests soon came to the door one after another. There were old departments in the Xiongwu camp, as well as relatives and friends of some court officials. With the leadership of Li Xu, a fierce general, and the support of Yang Guangzi, it is a foregone conclusion that the Fenyang Army will regain its prestige in a short period of time. Many people have seen this floor, so they want to take a hitchhike ahead. There were also some people who came to the door with the purpose of wooing and laying the foundation for future cooperation between them, and Xuzi referred to the experience of the Zhangxiong Martial Arts Camp at the beginning of that year, and carefully dealt with them, so that most of the visitors who did not bring too many malicious intentions returned happily. For those megalomaniacs who continued to look at the sky and tried to bring the Fenyang Army under his command, Li Xu didn't give a good face, he turned his face when he should turn his face, and he turned his face when he should pick up people, so that several lobbyists returned in an instant.

While carefully dealing with his colleagues, Li Xu set out to sort out the Fenyang Army. The stalls left by Yun Dingxing are basically complete, but the number of officers and soldiers is seriously insufficient. According to the results of battlefield observation in the past half a month, Xuzi promoted dozens of low-level non-commissioned officers from the Fenyang Army, and selected more than a dozen from the old ones who took refuge in the past, and the two compartments were combined to quickly rebuild the internal framework of the Fenyang Army.

There was a batch of ordnance hidden in Yanmen City, and Li Xu captured tens of thousands of military horses and Hu people's weapons in the pursuit battle. After handing out a part and handing it over to Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin and the old general Zhang Xutuo, he still had a lot left in his hands. He played Yang Guang and added these thousands of mounts and all the equipment to the Fenyang army. Turning his head, he asked Zhao Xiaocai, the secretary of the military department, for a large amount of military salary, which was distributed to each soldier according to the head.

The Great Sui border army has always been known for its bravery, and after having sufficient supplies, the entire Fenyang army was immediately invigorated. At Pei Ju's suggestion, Yang Guang personally went to the army to read it once. Seeing the soldiers standing in the front row one by one, they were in good spirits and in a happy mood. After coming back, he didn't even look at it, and raised his hand to approve Li Xu's application for transferring several old troops of the Xiongwu Battalion to serve in the Fenyang Army.

Of course, Yang Guang didn't know that Xuzi had paid a large amount of money to Pei Ju and Yu Shiji for this. The two heads of the court originally looked at Li Xu very unpleasantly, but now seeing that he knew so much about advance and retreat, he responded to Dugulin's inference that day, just count the number of advances and offerings, and no longer be embarrassed by it.
