Yang Jing showed his singing voice on the painting boat, sang and made peace with these barbarian women, and won the hearts and admiration of the girls.

Although they can't understand the lyrics, the more mysterious they are, the more they feel that Yang Jing is unfathomable, as if Yang Jing is omniscient and omnipotent, and only such a coach can stabilize people's hearts and lead them to the final victory!

Jia Yidao on the other end was more discouraged and resentful, Zhao Yun sent him as a supervisor just to clamp down on Yang Jing, but now that he has not yet entered the battlefield, he has lost control of Yang Jing, and even in turn was pinched by Yang Jing, how could he not grit his teeth!

After returning from the river, Jia Rudao left angrily, only saying that the river breeze was blowing, and he was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't even participate in Uncle Wu Bai's reception banquet.

Without Jia Nidao present, these generals have no taboos, Zhang Changling and others took the opportunity to win over the relationship, and everyone became even more familiar.

This southern expedition is the largest military operation in the imperial court in more than ten years, and all those who can participate are the old men with real power in the army, and they are no strangers to Zhang Changling.

What happened to Zhang Changling at the beginning also made these generals feel quite cold, and it was precisely because of this that they deliberately befriended the civil officials in the court, so as not to follow in the footsteps of Zhang Changling one day.

But now that Zhang Changling has recovered, and the official family has also issued an edict against himself, Yang Jing wants to be windy and rainy, the status of the generals is rising, and Jia Rudao is hitting walls everywhere in front of Yang Jing, which is obvious to all, and everyone naturally has confidence.

If the southern expedition can successfully complete the task this time, the generals don't need to bow their heads anymore when they walk backwards, and they have the confidence to speak, and they don't need to bow down in front of the civil officials!

Although Uncle Wu Bai is a local official, he has already obtained Yang Jing's secret letter, allowing Lu Baiyu and Yang Ainan to contact the soldiers and horses of many ethnic minorities in the resettlement area, so that they are not reserved at the banquet, and the host and guest are also happy.

After the five flavors of food and wine over three rounds, Uncle Wu Bai asked people to sing and dance to help the wine, and the invitations were all local teams, which were also unique.

During the day, many local gentry and elders who participated in the labor army also went to the banquet, and the scene was also lively.

It is precisely because Yang Jing needs to use the influence of Jia Nidao's officialdom to keep the reserve supply unimpeded that he did not fight with Jia Nidao, and now with the support of these local officials, even if there is a problem with Cao Yun, the local government will help somewhat.

Perhaps this help is just a drop in the bucket, but it makes the generals feel at ease, gives them confidence, and the soldiers don't have to worry.

Although Yang Jing's head had turned gray because of the earlier crisis, and now he had healed, and he had condensed the Inner Dan due to the blessing of misfortune, but there was no sign of the head turning black again.

Even so, everyone can see that Yang Jing is young and vigorous, strong in blood, not tired, and calm, and he is indeed the leader of the dragon and phoenix among the proud sons of the sky.

Yang Jing is also very friendly, although he is a noble marquis and the commander of the Southern Expedition, but he has no shelf, and the local officials talk about local customs and folklore, Yang Jing can also tell the story, which can't help but surprise people.

However, Yang Jing does not have that aggressive extravagance, but makes people feel like a spring breeze, and this banquet does not have too many constraints.

In the second half, Yang Jing excused himself from the table, and everyone also sent him out happily, after all, he was the commander and was busy with military affairs, so he was able to take time to come to the banquet, which had already given him enough face.

After Yang Jing came out, he took a break in Uncle Wu Bai's mansion, and soon saw Lu Baiyu and Yang Ainan.

Lu Baiyu had already received the news of the secret investigation, and Yang Jing was also overjoyed to see it, so he led Yang Jing to see the old man Lu.

Along the way, Lu Baiyu told Yang Jing everything Yang Ainan did, Yang Jing encouraged him again, and Yang Ainan was also very proud, but he kept telling himself in his heart that there was still too much gap between him and his father-in-law, and he must continue to work hard.

After the carriage left the prefect's yamen, it went in the direction of Lingui County, and the more it walked, the more secluded it became, and gradually went to the mountains.

It was a rainy season, and it rained heavily as you walked, and the mountain road was not easy to walk, so in the second half, you had to walk.

The three of them wore robes and hats, and then went up the mountain, although there were no lanterns, but the deer and white fish were familiar with the way, and soon they saw a village.

There is a sentry tower in front of this stockade, and there are a few barbarians upstairs, carrying hard bows and bamboo arrows, carrying sickle-shaped pig iron scimitars in their waists, and several iron-headed bamboo spears are inserted next to them.

Lu Baiyu shouted up, and after a while, someone opened the gate of the village, but it was the bold girl who sang against Yang Jing in the daytime!

The girl was dressed in black, with a short skirt underneath, bare knees, a turban, a shining silver ornament around her neck, straw sandals at her feet, leggings wrapped around her calves, and a short knife stuck in her waist.

Yang Jing knew that these silver jewelry were not worn on weekdays, and distinguished guests would only dress up like this when they came to the door, so he couldn't help but settle down.

"I didn't expect it to be Ah Mei, brother, I'm rude..."

Zhuang dialect is like a few other dialects, the inheritance is relatively complete, from the daytime songs, Yang Jing can be heard, although there are some small differences, but not too big, in the past, Guangxi's local TV stations also used Zhuang language to broadcast news, Yang Jing will naturally speak.

As early as when Ah Mei was singing, she knew that Yang Jing's strong words were good, even if he was Han Jialang, he was so close to the Miao family of Lu Baiyu, and he could speak strong words, so he was naturally a lot closer.

"Brother said and laughed, it's Sister who has no rules, Brother Hurry up and please come in, Grandpa They are already waiting. ”

Yang Jing nodded, and followed the girl in, Yang Jing took the opportunity to ask, "Sister..."

Before she could say this, the girl had already grabbed Bai and said, "Brother can call me Ah Li, Li of the Li River..."

Yang Jing also felt presumptuous at first, but now that she has introduced herself, she can save her brother and sister from screaming and being numb.

"Ah Li, there are many people talking during the day, and it is not easy to recognize each other, there are many offenses, don't be surprised, there are many rules in the army, I can't come during the day, I can only trouble you to wait at night, but I don't want to go..."

When Yang Jing said this, Ah Li couldn't help but be taken aback, and confirmed to Yang Jing: "Brother General recognized me during the day?

Yang Jing smiled: "Although I don't recognize you, I know that you must have been sent by the head man to test me, and I also know that it was the head man who heard that I was going to swim the river, so he temporarily asked you to go." ”

Ah Li's eyes were full of astonishment, and she couldn't help sighing: "Sister Lu and the little brother of the Yang family both said that the general's brother was unpredictable, and the little sister didn't believe it at first, but now it's acceptable..."

"It's just that how did the general's brother see it?"

Yang Jing has the heart to take the school Yang Ainan, moreover, Yang Ainan is the main contact person this time, and in the future, when dealing with mercenaries of the Zhuang and other ethnic groups, Yang Ainan also needs Yang Ainan to come forward, Yang Jing must support Yang Ainan's prestige, so he asked Yang Ainan.

"Ai Nan, do you know how the father sees it?"

Ah Li was even more surprised, Yang Ainan was not present during the day, and it was even more impossible for him to know how Yang Jing saw it.

Yang Ainan was a little monster who was taught by several great grandmasters, and after a moment of contemplation, he analyzed.

"There are many places in this Jingjiang area where you can swim in a boat, but since you can swim in a boat, it means that the water level is not shallow, and the riverbank in this kind of place is not suitable for washing clothes and hair..."

"Ah Li's sister and sisters have no choice in order to intercept their father-in-law's boat, and they can't get straight to the point, so they can only pretend to do laundry, maybe this is where the flaw lies..."

"As for the headman's temporary intention, it is easy to say, if the headman had this intention earlier, he would definitely choose a suitable section of the river, and he would change the way, such as letting Sister Ah Li lead people to cast nets and fish on the river, which is more suitable than washing clothes..."

When Yang Ainan said this, Ah Li couldn't help but be surprised, and said in his heart No wonder people say that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and rats give birth to burrows, and only Yang Jing is such a big freak that can raise such a little freak as Yang Ainan!

However, Yang Jing was not satisfied, and smiled at Yang Ainan: "You are certainly right, but casting nets to fish is not the best way..."

Ah Li thought that Yang Ainan's reasoning was already seamless, but he didn't expect Yang Jing to be dissatisfied!

"Casting nets and fishing is all done by men, isn't it a little weird to let a few girls do it?"

"Besides, the Wu Governor's Mansion has already cleaned up the boat in advance for our trip to the river this time, at this time, Ah Li girl brought people to fish, will it arouse the vigilance of the guards on board?"

"Fishing requires hooks and harpoons and the like, and most of the boats are military generals, so wouldn't it be a big trouble to think they were assassins?"

"Although the head man was temporary, he should have imagined this, so he asked Ah Li to take his sisters to wash clothes on the river beach, after all, washing clothes is softer and more natural, and it will not lead us to be vigilant, am I right?"

Ah Li was completely stunned at this time!

Because before their father let them go to the river beach, he had planned to let her brother take people to pretend to fish on the river, and finally gave up this practice, Yang Jing not only speculated that they were pretending to wash clothes by the river, but even the action of giving up was inferred!

At this time, she finally believed that Lu Baiyu and Yang Ainan had said earlier that Yang Jing, the general's brother, was really not a mortal!

Xu was shocked by Yang Jing, Ah Li became a little restrained, and stopped talking more, and soon brought Yang Jing to a bamboo building.

The old man deer and the heads of the people have been sitting around the fire pit, perhaps for secrecy, the room is closed, but there is no smoky suffocation, this bamboo building is indeed the condensation of the infinite wisdom of the working people, and the architectural layout is also full of agility.

In addition to the old man deer, Yang Jing also saw the Dong family's dragon beard and Long Hongyan, this woman has also had a lot of intersections with Yang Jing, but now that she sees Yang Jing, she is still the daughter of Tusi, and Yang Jing is already a dignified earl, the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

Ah Li's father is the head of the black-clothed strong, and the other heads are elected by the tribe or inherited from generation to generation, and are recognized by the clan.

But Ah Li's father Jiang Manyu is the toast canonized by the imperial court, the family has been toast for generations, and has a very high prestige in Guangnan West Road, it is said that during the Northern Song Dynasty, Di Qing Di Hanchen had recruited them, of course, the top soldiers, in Yongzhou Kunlun Pass, defeated those Annan black monkeys!

The barbarians on the West Guangnan Road are not ordinary local forces, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and they do not listen to the propaganda, and are not subject to local control, if they want to force themselves, they can only move a large army to quell the rebellion.

Even if you want to recruit them to fight, you must clearly mark the price, they like to use human heads to record military merits, how much is a human head, that is all priced.

The barbarians usually form a group of three or five people, charging in front to kill and wound the enemy, and there are people in the back who carry baskets specially to harvest human heads, and use human heads to exchange for bounties from the imperial court!

Looking at this full house, Yang Jing took a deep breath, and said in his heart that although there is no Mamluk mercenary group and no Viking iron bones, these brute soldiers, in a complex tropical region like the south, are more invincible than those ghosts!
