After settling the ruffian Qu's brothers, Ling Yi turned the topic to Yanyun's eighteen horsemen: "What about the loss of Yanyun's eighteen horsemen?"

Sun Ze replied: "Yan Yun's eighteen cavalry has more than 600 people, but there is not much loss, most of them are injured, and they have almost recovered after entering the conditioning of Hao Jun. The relatively large loss was the bandits gathered by Yan Yun's eighteen cavalry, because they were not regular troops, and they had not received systematic training, this time there were nearly 5,000 bandits, a total of more than 1,000 people were injured, and as many as 130 people were sacrificed!"

"Is the loss so big, how did you settle them now?" Ling Yi continued to ask, this time it can be said that it was the ruffian Qu saved by the bandits in Yanbei, Ling Yi couldn't let them die in vain!

Hao Jun replied: "We counted the personnel, and then the placement according to the pension policy of the ruffian song was handled by my brother-in-law, and everyone was not dissatisfied, but they sacrificed so many brothers, and no one felt comfortable!"

"That's good, they are warriors who defend their families and the country, and they are also the life-saving benefactors of our riffraff, they must be taken care of!" Ling Yi was quite satisfied with this kind of treatment.

You must know that the pension of the ruffian is more than three times higher than that of any other army, and for these bandits who make a living from the knife, the way to deal with the ruffian is the most reasonable.

I think that even if the eighteen horsemen of the older generation of Yan Yun died in battle, no court official came to condole, let alone a pension, not even a decent tomb, and in the end, it was Yan Jingfei who came back from the clay mountain to give the corpses of these heroes.

This is also the reason why Yan Jingfei can only summon 5,000 bandits, too many people see through the court's hostility to bandits, and don't take them in their eyes at all, let alone respect.

The bandits gathered around were actually separated from the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun back then, and this time they saw Yan Jingfei playing the Yanyun Banner, and with the love of the year, they came to help.

On the other hand, they are to protect their family and defend the country, and more importantly, they want to return the love they owed to Yan Jingfei's father back then.

The other bandits didn't bother Yan Jingfei's summoning at all, in their opinion, Yan Jingfei was nothing more than a stupid person who inherited the stupid strength of the older generation of Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen, and this was a decision to die in vain.

No one responded to Yan Jingfei's call, they did not recognize Yan Jingfei as the real Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, in their opinion, Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry ceased to exist with the end of the war that year, and they had forgotten the promise of unanimously resisting the enemy with foreign countries back then.

It's not that they don't trust Yan Jingfei, the biggest reason is their dissatisfaction and hatred for the imperial court.

This time, the remaining bandits who could come together to fight the enemy had an attitude of death, just for the sake of carelessness in their hearts, they did not expect the court to remember them, they were just for their homeland.

Now with the pension of the ruffian, they are more grateful to this group of ruffians who defended Youzhou, and to the four teenagers who resisted the sneak attack of the Martial Saint, without these people, their homeland will be invaded again, and they will also follow in the footsteps of the older generation of Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen.

Ling Yi inquired with Sun Ze and the others about some things, and after there was nothing to discuss or discuss, Sun Ze and the others prepared to leave and give Ling Yi a quiet resting space.

At this moment, Ling Yi stopped the three of them again: "Big brother, has there been any news from Bingzhou or Jingzhou in the past few days?"

Sun Ze pondered for a while and replied: "There is news from Bingzhou and Jingzhou? It seems that there is no news from Jingzhou, right? What do you want to inquire about? I'll pay attention to you!"

Hearing such an answer, Ling Yi sighed secretly, it seems that my sister's return was just a dream I had, and now I don't know where my sister is?

"It's nothing, it's just that I dreamed of my sister, I don't know what happened to her?" Ling Yi replied in a depressed mood.

"Don't worry, she will definitely be fine, now you take care of your injuries, and when this war is over, we will accompany you to the Huansha Valley once!" Sun Ze patted Ling Yi on the shoulder.

"Well, when this war is over, let's go to the East China Sea for a walk, I remember that I was sent to Qingzhou from the East China Sea by the patriarch, and I will take you to my house to play for a few days when the time comes!" Hao Jun also saw that Ling Yi was depressed, and he interrupted from the side.

Sun Ze pursed his lips and said jokingly: "You don't even know where your home is, and you invite us to be guests, and let us find you your way home on the vast sea when the time comes!"

Hao Jun was said by Sun Zeyi, and instantly replied embarrassedly: "I can't help it, I was still young when I came out, and I couldn't remember the location at all, and the patriarch flew over the sea with me, and I couldn't remember the location of my home, and there was a clan barrier, I couldn't help it!"

"Hey, I still want to go to my second brother's house to steal some pills to eat, it seems that there is little hope!" Ah Hai also regretted on the side.

"Do you have any other pursuits besides eating?" Hao Jun asked angrily.

"On the one hand, I eat to fill my stomach, and more importantly, to cultivate, if I eat more of your Muyin clan's elixir, maybe I will be as powerful as you as soon as possible, but it's a pity that the second brother can't find his way home!"

Ah Hai's words made Ling Yi, who was still depressed just now, laugh: "You are a pig who can't eat enough!"

Ah Hai replied with a smile: "I am a pig, and you are all my brothers, that is to say, you are all pig brothers! Hahaha, Brother Pig ......"

"You kid is a pig!" Sun Ze and Hao Jun stretched out their hands to catch Ah Hai, but Ah Hai dodged them and left Ling Yi's room in a flash.

Sun Ze and Hao Jun also chased after each other and ran out!

After inquiring for a long time, Ling Yi still didn't hear about his sister, it seems that he can really only go to sea after this war, as the eldest brother said.

After resting for a while, Yan Chunxi and Xiao Zijin sent the cooked rice porridge to Ling Yi, along with Zhang Cheng and Wei Yun.

Yan Chunxi knew that Ling Yi and Zhang Cheng had something to say, so he put down the rice porridge for Ling Yi, and led the boy to retreat.

Ling Yi didn't speak, Zhang Cheng didn't speak, and Wei Yun didn't open either.

The three of them seemed to be silent people, and they didn't mean to speak at all.

In the end, it was Wei Yun who broke the deadlock: "This time, it's all because of me that I let the ruffian Qu and Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry cause losses, Ling Yi, you can't blame Brother Zhang Cheng, if you want to blame me, blame me!"

Ling Yi sighed and said, "I led the brothers of the ruffian song out, and I am ready to die on the battlefield, but I still feel uncomfortable when I hear the death of my brothers!"

"Please dispose of it!" Zhang Cheng knelt on one knee, waiting for Ling Yi's disposition.

"Brother Zhang, I don't mean to blame you, you get up first!" Ling Yi struggled to help Zhang Cheng, but he was weak and couldn't get up.

Wei Yun stretched out his hand to help Zhang Cheng up, and the two sat on the side of Ling Yi's bed.

Ling Yi patted Zhang Cheng's shoulder and comforted: "Brother Zhang, it's me instead." I may not have done as well as you, you don't have to blame yourself, these brothers who came out with us are actually ready to sacrifice, which battle, isn't there a river of blood, casualties are continuous? We can protect the people of Yanbei Town, in fact, we have already succeeded, not to mention that we have successfully resisted the invasion of the Northern Wilderness and destroyed their conspiracy!"

"As the saying goes, one will achieve success and ten thousand bones will wither! This is a sentence that shows the cruelty of war, but without the bloody struggle of these soldiers, how can we talk about the peaceful residence of the people? Now I have understood why Prince Long has always disapproved of sending troops to fight, and only after witnessing life and death with his own eyes did he know the cruelty of war. This is what my grandfather has always wanted to do, he has the best martial arts army in Dongsheng, but he didn't think about aggression, the mission of the army is to protect, not to invade!"

"The brothers died to protect the people of Yanbei, they died as they deserved, we can't immerse ourselves in the pain of their death, we should stand up, inherit their legacy, and complete the task they haven't completed!"

"As a commander, we are not mature enough, there are too many flaws, this is why I want to train Hou Aoxuan, only an excellent general, military advisor, can see the situation clearly, in order to minimize losses, this is also the most effective way to reduce losses, this time go back, you and Hou Aoxuan, and then transfer a few more exciting people, I will send you to Wu Liang to study, don't be lazy when the time comes!"

When Zhang Cheng heard this, Ling Yi didn't blame himself, and he was about to send himself to the military advisor to study, and he instantly became excited again.

"But ......" Zhang Cheng was still a little worried after he was excited, he had never been afraid when he led the ruffian tun before, and now Ling Yi handed over such an important matter as the ruffian qu to himself, which made him feel very weak, and he was not capable of taking on such an important task at all.

"Believe in yourself, you have been here for so many years, but you will have to worry more in the future, I will recruit more troops in the future, and when the time comes, I will count on you to help share the burden!"

"Yes!" Zhang Cheng stood up and saluted respectfully!

At this time, Wei Yun on the side opened his mouth and asked: "You still have to recruit the army, but the recruitment of the army is very strictly controlled by the imperial court, don't take any risks!"

Ling Yi nodded and said: "I know this, I recruited the riffraff after getting the consent of Prince Long, and he also promised that after this mission, he would give me a certain number of expansion quotas according to his military merits, cousin, don't worry too much, I am free to measure!"

Wei Yun put his mind at ease: "That's good, I know you want to rebuild the glory of the martial army, but be careful in everything, even your grandfather and uncle were killed in the conspiracy back then, you must be careful in the future, my relationship with you can't be leaked, everything is up to you! What you have to do is the most important thing is to ensure your own safety, and nothing else is so important!"

"Well, I know, don't worry!By the way, cousin, what are you going to do in the future?Are you going back to the Imperial City?" Ling Yi asked Wei Yun rhetorically.

Wei Yun sighed and said, "I was exiled, unless I am pardoned, I can't leave Youzhou, I think I will continue to stay in the land of Yanbei!"
