Dong Qi pointed to the soldiers on both sides of the camp with his big hand, and said loudly:

"I heard the brother below once say that anyone who wants to join the army will be given a try, and only after figuring out the means can they be considered officially enlisted."

Su Jun smiled slightly:

"It should be like this for others, but who doesn't know the reputation of the Dong family and the Northern Xinjiang Tigers? Those who can be regarded as brothers by you must be first-class heroes, so why do you need to do more? Come, come, I will come into the camp and speak. ”

After listening to the more than 300 border county sons and daughters behind Dong Ying and Dong Qi, they were all very happy in their hearts, and sighed secretly:

"General Zhenbei is really different from ordinary county heads, just this kind of bearing and demeanor, I'm afraid even the county head can't be compared, such a heroic figure, he attaches so much importance to us, do we dare not to die?"

"Come early, it's not as good as coming, the two of you will visit the city defense of the lower border city with me, and when you fight against the barbarians in the future, you will also have a preparation."

Su Jun walked in front with his hands in his hands, and said to the Dong Shuangxiong who followed him closely.

At this time, it was the first army of the border county headed by Yuan Chongwen, the "General of Sanqi", who was responsible for the defense of the border city, but now Yuan Chongwen was just a hard-working soldier, so the defense of the border city fell on Shi Tiansheng.

Shi Tiansheng was busy now, Shi Junhou, who had never had the experience of "number one", was now like a machine that didn't stop for a moment, almost sleepless, and even Su Jun's arrival didn't have time to accompany him.

Su Jun didn't pay attention to these things, and observed the internal layout of the military camp with great interest, and heard that General Zhenbei personally came to the border city to supervise the battle, and the city lord, county magistrate, county lieutenant and all the officials in the city welcomed him to the military camp.

Su Jun and the Dong brothers, accompanied by the officials of the border city, greeted each other all the way, and led the more than 300 knights who had just surrendered into the border city.

Su Jun's arrival instantly ignited this empty and desolate city, and people from every household poured into the streets, scrambling to catch a glimpse of the demeanor of "Su Zhongqing, the son of tranquility".

All of a sudden, the cold city showed signs of recovery and seemed to be rejuvenating.

The walls of the border city have been collapsed again and again, and now they have been strengthened to an incredible extent, and all kinds of city defense facilities on the city head are all available, and they are very well prepared.

The grain and grass in the city have also been replenished again, and even if the barbarians besiege the city, I believe that it will definitely not be a problem to hold on for one or two months.

The defense of the border city looks like an iron wall, but it also has a fatal flaw, that is, the border city is too big, the geographical location is relatively empty, there is no danger around, and there is no moat outside the city.

I didn't know it, I was shocked when I checked it, and when I inspected the border city for the first time, I found such a big safety hazard, which was also something Su Jun didn't expect.

Su Jun walked to a battlement and steadied his footsteps, raising his eyes to look around the outside of the city, where there were low and undulating hills and endless grasslands.

Seeing Su Jun stop and look at him without saying a word, the city lord of the border city walked over and explained in a low voice:

"That vast steppe is the territory of the Noa people, and their cavalry has always been a great trouble for our peace.

"Oh?" Su Jun replied softly, frowned and asked the border city lord beside him:

"The geographical location of the border city is special, and there are many barbarians around it, with only 10,000 troops, is it enough?"

The city lord of the border city smiled bitterly:

"I don't know much about the war of the unified army, but even if Yuan Junhou is like a god, he is often overstretched, let alone Lord Shi."

"If it's not enough, why don't you continue to send more troops?"

"Extra Pai? Let's not talk about the issue of military salaries in border counties, even if there is enough military salary, which county head dares to recruit troops privately? That's a great sin tantamount to rebellion! ”

"The previous head of the border county is because he has not been able to ask for military salaries for a long time, so he can only continue to reduce the army, the original garrison of 30,000 people, and finally cut it to less than 20,000 people, even so, the military salary of the border county is still tight, and the head of a dignified county finally ended up in defeat and death, miserable!"

The city lord of the border city kept shaking his head and sighed.

"There are such tragic things."

Su Jun clenched his hands into fists and said with a somewhat hideous face:

"There will never be a shortage of military salaries, and I will not give any less to my brethren; I will continue to recruit soldiers, as long as I am willing to serve the country, I will welcome it, and I can guarantee that in the future, we will no longer be 'lambs' to be slaughtered, we will be 'wolves'"

"My lord is wise, General Su is here, and our border county will be saved"

The defense of the border city no longer needs to be improved, the only problem is the lack of soldiers, and Su Jun has no good way to do this, so he can only slowly improve it through continuous recruitment.

"Have you been hostile lately? Why didn't these wolf cubs of the Nua tribe come to the 'winter hunt' for a long time? ”

Su Jun asked as he walked after inspecting the city wall.

"It's really a little strange, according to the past example, the cavalry of the Nuya tribe should have come a long time ago, and you should ask the opinion of the Marquis of Shi Jun more about leading the troops to fight."

The city lord of the border city was also full of confusion and muttered to himself.

Dong Qi opened his mouth and said flatteringly:

"What's so strange about that? It must be that the Nuya tribe knows that the prince has come to the northern frontier, and the prince is wise and martial, how can this group of turtles from the north be afraid? ”

The Dong brothers already have the blood of the Northern Barbarians, but now they scold the barbarians as turtles, but what they say is extremely natural.

Su Jun listened, smiled and said nothing, let others say casually, no matter what, it's always a good thing that the barbarians don't come to attack, as long as you give yourself a little more time, your border army is beginning to take shape, and when the time comes, you can even take the initiative to attack and kill the barbarians outside the border city.

The only thing that made Su Jun feel a little headache was the bet, on the one hand, he hoped that the Nuya tribe would send cavalry to attack, and on the other hand, he didn't want the peaceful people to fall into the war again.

Before you know it, it is almost noon, and the officials in the city have already prepared a meal.

The food is quite hearty, in addition to the unknown meat and vegetables, there are even two large plates of steamed fish, which not only looks crystal clear, but also smells fragrant, which directly hooks out the gluttonous worms in Su Jun's stomach.

Su Jun picked up a large piece of fish meat and gently put it in his mouth, fresh and tender, juicy and delicious, without the slightest fishy smell, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and praised it repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect the chefs in the border city to be very skilled, this fish is not inferior to the imperial chef in the Anning Capital"
