Looking at the two guys in front of him, Li Jiangyao couldn't help but feel a little confused.

People are good people, but they are too noisy. At that time in the imperial capital, he was hugged by them and caused a lot of trouble, and now the two of them are coming to the western frontier in a hurry, maybe there will be some moths in the future.

What made Li Jiangyao feel even more depressed was that the Western Xinjiang side seemed to be really unstable. He couldn't help but pray secretly: But don't let yourself be a prophecy, the Iron Stone Mountain has not been found, but it was first found by the Turks.

He looked at the old soldier who was in charge of leading the student soldiers of Yanwutang to report, groaned slightly, and then took a few steps forward and sat down next to the old man: "Uncle, I heard from you just now, it's been almost 20 years since you came to Western Xinjiang?" ”

"For twenty years," the old soldier coughed twice: "Half of the people from Western Xinjiang." ”

Li Jiangyao: "Then you should be very familiar with the ghost desert in Western Xinjiang and the thirty-six countries." ”

The old soldier smiled: "What do you say? If you ask me about my hometown Nancang, I may not remember it, but if you talk about it, the old man is not bragging, there is nothing I don't know. ”

Li Jiangyao was overjoyed when he heard this: "I will inquire with you about a place, Tieshi Mountain, do you know?" ”

"Ironstone Mountain?"

The old soldier frowned, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, and asked in turn, "Which country is this Iron and Stone Mountain in?" ”

"If I knew, I would have to ask you?" Li Jiangyao's heart was half cold, and he sighed helplessly.

Lao Jun: "Little brother, I won't tell you. Our Zhenjiang Protectorate has been stationed in the Ghost Desert for so many years, and we haven't done anything else, and the exploration of the terrain can be regarded as the ultimate. Mo said that it was a mountain, even if it was a dry well and a tree hole, it was clearly marked by the Pegasus scouts, and there was no leakage. There are some places where the old men are not familiar with each other, but you can go to the scout camp and ask, they will know for sure. ”

Li Jiangyao asked: "You said that the scouts explored the terrain, do they have detailed records?" ”

"Can that be without?" The old soldier grinned: "The Holy Tang Military Law has a clear order, and all scouts who are ordered to survey the terrain and landforms must draw and make a book for the school to read." All the maps of the ghost desert in the Western Xinjiang are all in the Pegasus scout camp. ”

Pegasus Scout Camp.

Li Jiangyao silently recited the name twice in his heart and didn't say anything more.

-

Zhenjiang capital protectorate, formed an army in the holy Tang calendar 799 years.

Compared to the veteran legions that have existed for hundreds of years, the Zhenjiang Army is as young as a baby. However, he is by no means the kind of delicate and weak baby who is waiting to be fed, but a gourd baby who is reincarnated by King Kong and can fight as soon as he is born.

The 100,000 ironclad army, nearly half of which come from the two legions of Fierce Blade and Long Knife, may not be anything in Middle-earth, but in Western Xinjiang, there is no doubt that it is the strongest bloodline suppression.

Thirty-six nations stood before them, and they trembled.

Due to the newly formed army, at the beginning of the formation of the army, the Dadu Protector of the Zhenjiang Capital Protectorate was concurrently served by He Jingming, the commander of the Fierce Blade Legion.

The Fierce Blade Army, as a strategic mobile corps in the northwest direction of Shengtang, has been stationed on the line from Liangzhou to Yongzhou for a long time, and its weight has always been very important when it enters the ghost desert and retreats to assist in the defense of the imperial capital.

And Li Chengwen let He Jingming lead the town of Xinjiang, which was also after some careful consideration. First, the Zhenjiang Protectorate and the Fierce Blade Legion are in front of each other, and the two lines of defense need to coordinate and cooperate with each other; Second, there are many of He Jingming's old troops in the Zhenjiang Army, so the command and dispatch are also quite easy.

Therefore, having Commander He bear the burden of protecting the capital is the best choice for polishing the new army as soon as possible.

He Jingming has a lot of experience in leading the army, and he combined the situation in the ghost desert of Western Xinjiang to divide the Zhenjiang Protectorate into three, and the three major clusters were deployed separately.

The seat of the Imperial Protectorate was located in Anxi Kingdom, and the main force of 40,000 legions was also stationed here. Because Anxi is the closest western Xinjiang subject country to Liangzhou, many of the people in the country are the people of the Holy Tang Dynasty or mixed races, so the relationship with the imperial dynasty is also the closest, plus the back of the Fierce Blade Legion, which can ensure the absolute safety of the command center of the capital protectorate.

The second part is a rapid aid division composed of 30,000 troops, which is responsible for guarding Che Chi Guo. It is located in the hinterland of the ghost desert in western Xinjiang, surrounded by more than a dozen large and small states, and its strategic location is extremely important. At the same time, Chechi is also the place where the 36 countries share the belief in the "Illuminati Religion", so there is an endless stream of believers from all over the world who come to make the pilgrimage every year, and the composition is complex, and it is very easy to be infiltrated by the enemy. At the beginning, the core area of the rebellion in Western Xinjiang was this place.

It is very necessary to be heavily guarded.

The remaining 30,000 troops were divided into several battalions and brigades by He Jingming, with thousands of people at large and a few hundred at least, scattered in various fortresses in the western Xinjiang countries, called "border scouts", and watched the tranquility of the ghost desert day and night.

Among them, an independent force called the "Pegasus Scout Battalion" is extremely special. They belong to the system of border scouts, and their station is located in Yameng City, which is at the junction of Chechi and Shule, and is directly under the personal command of the Dadu Protector of Zhenjiang, and they shuttle through the ghost desert all year round in the form of guerrilla patrols.

In other words, the Pegasus Scouts are the eyes and ears of the entire Zhenjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, and they are also the firefighting team of the Border Scouts. Wherever there is a situation, they rush to the target area, and strive to reach the target area as soon as possible, while collecting intelligence for the main general, and at the same time sending reinforcements.

Because of this, the Pegasus Scout Battalion has always maintained a strength of more than 3,000 troops, and has been recruiting through the Blade Legion for many years, and its members are all experienced and martial arts elites. These people are good at archery, horse riding and archery, accustomed to long-range running, rough writing and ink, and can write and draw, and they are generally superior to other troops, which can be described as the elite of the elite.

The feather cavalry gallops without stopping, and the first soldier of the Western Xinjiang Horse!

He Jingming's evaluation of the Pegasus Scout Camp is still a glorious imprint engraved in the hearts of the soldiers to this day.

However, soldiers are elite soldiers, and bitterness is also really bitter.

To be honest, although the imperial court has not paid much attention to the development of the Zhenjiang Protectorate for various reasons, this does not prevent the happy life of the Zhenjiang Army.

Don't forget, they are in this place, their status is a dignified garrison, compared to the Shengtang troops guarding the twenty-eight states of Middle-earth, the Zhenjiang Protectorate has an absolutely transcendent status over the thirty-six countries.

Don't look at what the old army said before about promoting tuntian, military self-sufficiency, and pounding crops every day, it was all for the student soldiers to hear. In fact, the troops stationed in various parts of Western Xinjiang are simply like emperors in the eyes of the kings and people of various countries.

Every year, the 36 countries of Western Xinjiang will very consciously provide a large amount of money, grain and grass to the garrison, and some even give singing and dancing girls and slaves and miscellaneous servants for the officers of the Zhenjiang army.

There is no other reason for doing this, just the same, fear of being beaten.

Since 20 years ago, the first emperor Li Chengwen said "slaughter the country", and hundreds of thousands of Shengtang troops swept the western Xinjiang, the 36 countries have a long memory, in the face of this group of old men who stay at home and do not leave, the only thing they can do, the only thing they should do, is to serve well.

Otherwise, just put a hat on you with "intention to rebel", and in a blink of an eye, thousands of soldiers and horses will flock to it, and if you can't keep it, the country will be gone.

At the beginning, He Jingming, who was the protector of the capital, also specially warned his subordinates not to go too far in the ghost desert of Western Xinjiang, after all, we are occupying other people's territory, beware of making people angry and resentful, and it will be difficult to clean up in the end.

But later, due to the "Jin King Rebellion" in the court and the more than ten years of legion disputes, General He, who was originally the concurrently leader, did not have so much effort to pay attention to this lonely army of soldiers and horses, so he could only gradually let it go.

As a result, the days of protecting the capital of Zhenjiang are actually quite good.

However, unlike the pampered garrisons, the Pegasus Scout Battalion maintained a high level of combat status from start to finish. In western Xinjiang, they have no houses, no land, no gold and silver savings, and no normal vacations. The only thing they have is their mission, and the vigilance patrol rain or shine.

Pegasus, a pegasus, dressed in gray armor; Scout scout, bare-ass monkey.

This is another assessment of the Pegasus Scout Battalion, sent by the brother troops, describing them as dusty and penniless. And the word "bitter" has also become the imprint engraved in the hearts of Pegasus scouts.

Glory or not glory will not be said first, anyway, it is quite sad.

-

"This is exactly the unit I want to go to," Li Jiangyao said in a calm tone: "Pegasus scout." ”

In the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anxi Kingdom, after hearing this, the lieutenant of the military in charge of assigning personnel subconsciously looked at the roster in his hand, and looked up to confirm: "You are the special martial arts department of the martial arts hall?" ”

"Returning to my lordship, exactly."

Captain of the Army: "Little brother, listen to my brother's advice, I happen to have a position as a junior colonel of the Guardian Army here, and I am on an errand in Anxi, and the conditions are very good." If it really doesn't work, Che Chiguo's speed aid division also needs newcomers, if you go there, you will start with the same rank of primary school, and you will be promoted to ...... in a few years."

"My lord, I'm only going to the Pegasus Scout Camp."

"Uh...... Are you sure? ”

"Sure, sure, and sure!"

The lieutenant shook his head: "Alas, what a good boy, I can't think about it." ”

-

Li Jiangyao and Xu Youchang came out of the official room together, and Murong Xue, who was waiting outside, hurriedly greeted him: "How is it?" Where are you assigned? ”

Xu Youchang frowned and pursed his lips: "Li Jiangyao went to the Pegasus Scout Camp, I originally wanted to follow him, but I didn't expect to be disturbed." ”

"Got both?" Murong Xue was slightly stunned: "By whom?" ”

"It's either my father or my uncle," Xu Youchang muttered: "In the name of the old man, they ventilated the Duhu Mansion in advance!" As soon as the steward saw my roster, he immediately arranged to go to the pro-military camp of the deputy capital to protect Zhang Sanpi. Damn! ”

Li Jiangyao looked at Murong Xue: "What about you?" ”

Murong Xue sighed: "I'm similar to Lao Xu. There is a military fort in Loulan, and there is a shortage of battalion officers, so I will give it to the top. ”

Xu Youchang was incredulous: "Oh my God! Is the starting point so high? Li Jiangyao and I are both elementary school colonels, and you will be a battalion officer when you come up? ”

Murong Xue sighed: "Isn't it the family that has made money?" Next to that military fort was the largest trading house in the western part of the country, and there were at least 100 people in it, and I was no different from being at home. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Jiangyao: "Brother, I just heard that Pegasus scouts are not easy to do." Why don't I let the family think of a way to help you change it? ”

"Do you still use your house?" Xu Youchang smiled: "If Li Jiangyao brings out the name of Commander He, which place in the Zhenjiang Capital Protectorate is not just picked by him?" It's a pity that this guy has an iron heart after eating the scales, so he wants to go to Pegasus Scout, what can he do? ”

Murong Xue's sword frowned slightly: "Why the hell?" ”

"This is what my master meant," Li Jiangyao deliberately prevaricated: "He said that Pegasus scouts have experienced people." ”

Murong Xue glanced at Xu Youchang and nodded, "Okay then." Since this is what Commander He meant, he must have thought about everything for you later. Anyway, our three brothers are really going to separate this time. ”

Xu Youchang laughed: "Hey, don't be so sad, you kid, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed." Besides, although we go our separate ways, we are still in the same legion, and we can always get together from time to time. ”

"I hope so," Murong Xue said in a quiet tone: "You are in Anxi, I am in Loulan, Li Jiangyao went to Yameng, and they are more than thousands of miles away from each other. ”
