"Understand, don't worry, young marshal, I will definitely bring out their greatest combat power. Hehe, I believe that if there are more battles, there will be a lot of good seedlings among the 2,500 people, and sooner or later they will be an elite. ”

Ji Zhu laughed.

"Okay, you can just do it. But keep in mind that they are not black riders, and most of them are meritorious deeds, so it is impossible to point to them and us in the same heart. If they want to find out what is going on with our people, they can say anything but not to tell the truth. Su Shi thought that he still needed to maintain the purity of the black horse, including the mystery, so they couldn't be too close to each other.

"Hehe, it's just bragging, don't worry, the young marshal doesn't worry, the black rider knows how to do it. Besides, everyone's family members are in Shangcang Mountain, and no one will talk nonsense. After Ji Zhu understood what Su Shi meant, he immediately patted his chest and promised.

"Be careful, after all, some people are very curious about the Black Rider, and they may make a lot of effort. You can go back and tell all the Black Riders that the last thing I like is a betrayer, or I promise to make him worse than dead. When he said this, Su Shi's voice was a little cold.

"Yes." This time, Ji Zhu didn't smile anymore.

It was replaced by a very solemn expression.

Obviously, he also knew in his heart that it would be very bad if the details of the black rider were found out.

Ji Zhu took this matter very seriously, and decided that after going back, he would warn everyone well, so he turned around and left.

However, Su Shi stretched out in a wheelchair and said with a smile: "Northern Route, I'm here, this place will be more exciting because of my appearance." ”

......

Outside the city of Xinzhou, the Mengqi camp.

There has been no news of the Mandu Ratu sent so far.

Not only that, but even the several groups of scouts sent out have not returned.

This caught the attention of the vanguard general Alatan.

He had a feeling that they were in danger or that something was wrong.

"Could it be that Su Shi is here?"

As the vanguard general of the Mongolian cavalry, Alatan had long learned from General Jebu that Su Shi was going to lead troops to the northern front.

Alatan knew Su Shi, and even heard a lot of stories about this person, and knew that this was a difficult existence to deal with. If he had been here, everything would have been explained.

"Alright, anyway, I'll send someone to take a look tomorrow. Well, the number can't be too small, send another three thousand cavalry. ”

Thinking like this, Alatan said to the people around him, "Go, call the three thousand commanders Tuntel."

......

Arashiya Castle.

In the temporary residence where General Wang Xin was, he also did not sleep.

In front of him was a map of the situation of friend or foe with a map of the surrounding area.

It is marked that the Western Xia and Mongol armies have surrounded Langu Castle and Caocheng Chuan Castle.

"Hey, time is running out, I just don't know when they're going to attack." Wang Xin, who was looking at the map, sighed.

Just as Su Shi thought, the current Wang Xin's strength is still very strong, not to mention anything else, just in Langu City, he has a full 70,000 northern troops in hand, whether this force is dealing with the Western Xia army on the opposite side, or trying to outflank his own Mengqi from behind, it is a sharp knife.

But Wang Xin didn't swing it for a long time, because he knew that once this knife was cut out, if it didn't achieve the effect, the northern front would be in chaos.

With his own army here, he can deter the Western Xia army from daring to continue to move forward.

It can be shocked that the Mongolian army behind him does not dare to go deep into the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty.

Whether it was the Western Xia army or the Mongolian army, on their own, they did not have the courage to stay in the Song Realm for too long. But once the two of them are united, then they will have the confidence, and in this way, they will dare to go deeper into the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and at that time, the northern front of the Great Song Dynasty will all fall into war.

If at this time, Bianliang City has not sent reinforcements to arrive, without restraint, these people will become more and more emboldened, so that it is possible for them to continue to the south and kill outside Bianliang City.

Another point, so far the Liao army has not made a move.

Although the Liao people's combat effectiveness seems to be the weakest compared to the three tribes, they also have an advantage, that is, they will have the most troops that can be mobilized.

And even if it is said to be weak, it is only compared to the three clans.

Compared with the Song army alone, the Liao people are not weak.

"Hey, officials, ministers, what are you waiting for, do you really think that blindly giving in can be exchanged for the satisfaction of others? No! That will only make the enemy's appetite bigger and bigger. ”

A sigh came from his mouth, and Wang Xin was speechless for a long time as he faced the north.

......

Yangxing Village.

The people who got up in the morning noticed that the large army stationed here last night seemed to have gone a lot.

And unlike yesterday, this morning, there were a lot more boxes in the center of the stockade.

Not only the box, but there were also many more bags next to the box, and as for what was inside, I don't know.

When the army had dinner last night, Su Shi ordered to take out some food and distribute it to the people in the village. Compared to the Black Horse, it was not a good thing, but in the eyes of ordinary people, especially the poor people in the north, it was already a very good thing, and this morning, some of them made some noodles and rice into rice.

Of course, it won't be used much.

For example, white rice, they just made porridge to drink, and it is still a veritable gruel like a pot of water without a few grains of rice.

The people were reluctant to eat the white rice that was finally obtained.

Although the north is very chaotic now, and I don't know if I will live tomorrow, thrift will always be a habit and tradition of the people.

"Alright, all up, let's gather everyone." Su Shi, who was in a wheelchair, saw that many people had opened their doors, and knew that the time was about the same, so he gestured to Lou Yang on the side.

Bai Xing has always stood by Su Shi's side. With him, a peerless level master, it would not be easy for anyone who wanted to assassinate Su Shi here.

Lou Yang nodded in agreement, and signaled not far away, and immediately Zhang Qiying's commander took his men who were still alive and began to get busy, beating gongs, shouting loudly, and greeting the people nearby.

"Come, come, come to the center of the village to gather, General Zhongwu has something to say."

As people greeted each street, the news soon spread all over the village. The people also walked out of the house with a few families, with curiosity and a little apprehension.

In the center of the village, the open space that was not very large was soon crowded with the people in the village, and they were talking about it one by one, and they didn't know what they were going to do here.

"Be quiet, be quiet, and then the general has something to say, everyone listen carefully, listen well." Looking at the increasing number of onlookers, Zhang Qi said as a temporary host.

Zhang Qi and his subordinate infantry battalion have been stationed in Yangxing Village, and they are familiar with everyone, and there are still many people who are willing to listen to his words.

Soon, everyone quieted down, and Zhang Qi saw Su Shi sitting in a wheelchair and starting to move this way, so he also retreated and retreated to Wenyang to stand with him.

Su Shi soon appeared in everyone's sight, and the megaphone was once again held in his hand.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, let me introduce myself first, I am the loyal general of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am also the chief general sent by the court to solve the northern problem this time."

"By the way, I also have another identity, the position of the Shaofu of the fourth grade, so don't underestimate me, although I am not very old, I have an official position in both civil and military affairs, which is much more powerful than the prefect of Xinzhou."

From the position of the fourth rank of the scattered officials and young mansions, it is still worse than the governor of the first prefecture, but the people are the fourth grade.

But don't forget, Su Shi is also a loyal general, from the three products, such a comparison, it can really be said that it is about the same.

In addition, Su Shi is considered a Beijing official, and he is one level higher than the local officials, so it is really the prefect of Xinzhou who does not dare to put on a stand when he sees him.

The reason why Su Shi said this is to let the people in Yangxing Village know that although he is young, his status is very high, which can increase his credibility, and what he says next is more likely to be recognized by everyone.

The official position has a great influence in any dynasty, and when the people of Yangxingzhai heard these words, they really had a little more trust in their eyes when they looked at Su Shi.

Looking at everyone's eyes, Su Shi knew that what he said just now had an effect, so he smiled and continued: "This time General Ben came here to give everyone benefits, come here, open the bags and boxes." ”

Su Jiajun, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and opened all the things concentrated in the center of the village according to Su Shi's instructions, and then money, grain, rice, and noodles appeared in everyone's sight.

The money is a hanging copper plate, several large boxes, which look at least 100,000 yuan.

Rice is white rice, polished rice, and when the sun shines, it seems that all of them glow.

The noodles are white, there are no impurities at all, and they are many times better than the coarse grains that the people often eat.

All of these things are what the people need every day, and there was a commotion in the crowd.

If it weren't for Su Shi, he had an official body.

If it weren't for the heavily armed black horsemen standing around, I'm afraid that the people of Yangxingzhai would have rushed up and snatched it up.

Not only these people, but also the border army led by Wen Yang and the box army led by Zhang Qi couldn't help but swallow in their throats.

Even those of them who are soldiers can hardly eat polished rice and white noodles in ordinary times, but only those nobles and gentry can eat them, and they don't eat them every day.

Everyone's hot eyes, Su Shi saw it in his eyes, and his heart was more confident. "You see, these are for you. Of course, there must be danger, but it is not very great, and you are not required to charge, and if anyone joins temporarily, he can get a bag of white flour or polished rice, or a thousand copper plates, or any of the three. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
