The officers and soldiers of Shouyang knew that Long Yiguan worshiped General Wei and temporarily led the Shouyang army, and their morale was greatly shocked. They saw with their own eyes that the 'Snow Wolf Cavalry' led by Long Yi broke the thief army of the Six Towns, and killed more than 10,000 enemies and called their fathers and mothers. The sergeants were all in good spirits and gearing up.

The Shouyang Army still had 18,000 combat strength, 1,000 cavalry, 5,000 archers, and 12,000 infantry. Long Yi first integrated the three hundred elite 'Snow Wolf Cavalry' into the Shouyang One Thousand Cavalry as the backbone of the Iron Cavalry, and appointed the six Han Black Mountain as the captain of the Iron Cavalry, and Han Chong as the deputy. According to the plan method that Long Yi had previously formulated for the 'Snow Wolf Rider', he will conduct hell iron-blooded training, and strive to comprehend the combat essence of the Snow Wolf Rider in a short period of time. Long Yi accidentally found that there were 500 pieces of cavalry armor and horse armor in the Shouyang armory, and they were unified and pure black, which should have been bought by the previous commander and had not had time to equip the cavalry. "Snow Wolf Heavy Cavalry" Long Yi thought about repeatedly handed over to Meng Yanchi to lead, Meng Yanchi knew Long Yi's expectations for this team, usually ate and slept with the five hundred cavalry, cried together, and was deeply loved by the soldiers, and the "Snow Wolf Heavy Cavalry" trained hard one by one and made rapid progress. After breaking the six Han Montenegro, he personally led the remaining 800 light cavalry plus the newly selected 200 cavalry to train harder, and used the training method of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry in the Western Regions learned from Long Yi in the actual training, Long Yi also turned to a book about the training of cavalry in the Western Regions in his grandfather's bookbox a few years ago, and now the effect of applying it is really immediate. From time to time, Poliuhan Montenegro pulled a thousand light cavalry out of the field to train thousands of miles of raids, although the soldiers were a hundred times more fortunate than before, but Long Yi paid great attention to the training methods, three meals a day to let the soldiers eat, and resolutely did not allow hungry training, so although the sergeants were physically tired, they were all full of energy.

Yu Zhong and Tian Bang came to the barracks to check, how dare they believe that this is the Shouyang army in the past, as soon as they enter the camp gate, they are all murderous and shocking, all of them are like tigers coming out of the mountain, their eyes are shining, and they want to tear the air in front of them alive. I was very happy in my heart, and I felt that I had chosen the right person, so I insisted on pulling Long Yi to the restaurant for two drinks, but Long Yi didn't want to sweep the interest of the two and agreed.

Long Yi, Li Xin, Yu Zhong, Tian Bang four people to the tavern to sit down, the hotel owner saw the nobles, personally poured wine to serve, Long Yi invited him to eat wine at the same table, the boss ate a glass of wine for fear of disturbing the four of them to talk about work and left to take care of business. Other diners in the tavern came to toast one after another, and Long Yi hurriedly greeted them one by one, helping each other with kind words, and everyone felt that the new general's sincerity was deeply moved. A young man sitting in a corner of the hall with a relaxed demeanor saw this scene with admiration in his eyes, and the four of them were talking without paying attention.

Long Yi asked Tian Bangdao: "Joining the army, now the commander of Shouyang is confused, I am forced by the situation to let me temporarily act as General Wei, but after all, it doesn't seem appropriate without the king's permission." ”

Tian Bang said cautiously: "I know that Brother Long has doubts in his heart, but there is no better way now, Wang Cheng will definitely send a new official to come soon, and we can explain it to the official in detail at that time." ”

Yu Zhong also said: "Don't worry, general, we have already written a chapter to explain this matter to the king, and the king should not blame." ”

Li Xin said: "Now it can only be like this, I hope the king will not blame me for this helpless move." ”

"I still know the king well, he is a person who understands the truth, but I don't know who the new Shangguan is? Will you listen to our explanation? Tian Bang was still a little worried in his heart.

The young man sitting in the corner ate some wine and was about to leave, but was just seen by Tian Bang: "Zong Zhao, it turns out that you are also eating wine here." ”

The young man heard Tian Bang's call and turned around and replied, "Join the army, I was just saying that I was going to look for you." ”

Tian Bang got up and pulled the young man over and said, "Let me introduce you, this is the new Wei General Long Yilong. The young man bowed and said, "Zong Zhao has seen the general. ”

Long Yi was very happy to see that the young man was heroic, dignified, his eyes contained wisdom, and he was full of martial arts, so he stood up and pulled Zong Zhao to sit down beside him and poured him a glass of wine himself: "I heard that when I joined the army, the general is a descendant of the famous general Zong Wei of Liu and Song, and I admire General Zong Wei very much, and I can see General Zong today as I often wish." ”

Zong Wei, a famous general of the Song Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Zong Wei studied with his uncle since he was a child, and his uncle Zong Shaowen saw that he was very clever, and asked him if he was scheming: "What do you want to do when you grow up?" Xiao Zongfu raised his head slightly, competed for two bright eyes, and replied without hesitation: "I am willing to ride the long wind and break the waves of thousands of miles." Determined to be a talented general, leading thousands of troops to charge into battle and make meritorious contributions to the country. Liu Yigong, the king of Jiangxia, appreciated Zong Yu very much and made him an officer under him. Zong Wei fought bravely, liked to use his wit, made many military exploits, and became a general before he was twenty years old. In the thirtieth year of Yuanjia, the crown prince Liu Xun plotted to kill Emperor Wen of Song, and Liu Jun, the third son of Emperor Wen of Song, appointed Zong Wei as a general, and Zong Wei and Liu Yuanjing broke through Jiankang and quelled the turmoil. Liu Jun inherited the throne, appointed Zong Wei as the general of the Left Guard, and named the Marquis of Taoyang. When he was young, he was often recited as a bold saying that he was willing to ride the long wind and break the waves. Zong Zhao was very happy to see Long Yi praising his ancestors, and continued to be a little ashamed: "The general is ashamed of Zong Zhao, thinking that my Zong Zhao is just a small army commander who leads five people, and he is ashamed of his ancestors." ”

Long Yi was stunned: "Sure enough." ”

Tian Bang said a little unfairly: "Yes, I have recommended Zong Zhao's great talent to the Grand Commander several times, but the Grand Commander disdains it, alas! ”

Long Yi said: "The original such thing really buried Zong Zhao's talent, Zong Zhao Yin brought the legacy of his ancestors, and from today onwards, Zong Zhao is my infantry captain." Command the Shouyang infantry for me. How is it? ”

"Ahh Tian Bang, Yu Zhong, and Zong Zhao exclaimed in unison, looking at each other. From a small army commander to a general who commands 10,000 troops, how can the three of them not sigh.

"Do you have an opinion about joining the army?" Long Yi asked with a comfortable expression.

Tian Bang said cautiously: "No, I'm worried about whether it will rise too fast?" ”

"It's a mistake to join the army, as long as it's a talent, we have to let him show his strengths, and we should be bold to use a talented person like Zong Zhao, and we have to make good use of it. However, I am only a temporary general, and whether I can count in the future depends on the new Shangguan. ”

Tian Bang was full of admiration in his heart: "Brother Long's words have taught Fang Ping. ”

Zong Zhao already admired Long Yi, but now he is so grateful to himself that he is indescribably grateful and bowed down on the spot: "How can Zong Zhao make the general value so much, before and after the saddle, I am willing to follow his death force to repay the general's high hopes." Long Yi hurriedly pulled him up.

Li Xin picked up the wine cup and said, "Come... Come... Celebrate Shouyang with another general, let's drink this cup together. The people promised.

"By the way, Zong Zhao just said that he didn't know what to do with me?" Tian Bang stopped drinking and asked.

Zong Zhao touched his head and was a little embarrassed: "I wanted to go to Nanliang a few days ago, and today I wanted to find a place to join the army and quit." ”

Everyone knew that he was unwilling in Shouyang and wanted to try his luck in Nanliang, Long Yi thought that if it wasn't for Tian Bang's invitation to eat and drink today, I am afraid that he would miss a general.

Tian Bang asked with a smile: "Does Zong Zhao still want to go to Nanliang?" ”

"Don't go back, don't go back, I'm still reluctant to Shouyang."

A few days later, the scouts sent out by Long Yi came back to report that since the defeat of the Six Towns Thief Army, because they did not know the strength of our army, Ge Yuantong's troops hurriedly returned to Qiangtian County, and sent a letter to invite the Six Towns Thief Army Yuan Huazi under the command of Brother Zhang, Lei Gong and the people of the headquarters to come to help. Brother Zhang and Lei Gong are the two brave generals under Yuan Huazi of the Six Towns Thief Army, and after Ge Rong's defeat and death, Yuan Huazi led the remnants of the army to harass the state and county. Now the three groups of men and horses gathered in Xiaoqiangtian County, raising 150,000 troops, claiming to be 300,000 troops, to kill Shouyang City.

General Wei's mansion, Long Yi gathered all the people to discuss in the lobby. Because the Long Yi brothers could not live in the military camp for a long time, Tian Bang took the "Xiaoyue Garden", the other residence of the original Wei general Han Xun, as the official residence of the Long Yi brothers. "Xiaoyue Garden" is not bigger than the Great Commander's Mansion, although small but everything, there are three courtyards in the garden, three rooms in the front yard are the lobby and partial hall, there are five wings on the left and right in the middle courtyard, there is a small living room in the middle, the backyard is a beautiful garden, there are four exquisite wings in the depths of the bamboo forest in the courtyard. Long Yi saw that it was very quiet and liked it very much, and he was happy to see that Long Yi liked Tian Bang, because it took him a lot of thought to choose a place for the Long Yi brothers to live, although the garden was small, it was the most beautiful and exquisite place in Shouyang City.

"Now that the three armies of the Six Towns Thief Army have gathered, and there are generals who are pressing the formation, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to win." Huang Xuan said worriedly.

Zong Zhao got up and said: "General, the two tiger generals of the Sixth Town Army of Brother Zhang and Lei Gong do have some means, and the enemy is outnumbered, we have to think of a comprehensive way." Yu Yu nodded heavily.
