"Brother He Lan doesn't have to mind, there will always be a chance in the future." Ning He said to He Lan half comfortingly and half seriously.

"If Shujing doesn't give up, just call me Yunyou." He Lanqi reported the words on the table, intending to really make friends with Ning He.

Ning He had nothing to do, the two looked at each other and smiled, and after a glass of wine, He Lanqi asked: "What Shu Jing said just now, could it be that the North Land is about to fight again?" ”

"Almost, at most a year and a half, at least a few months, Beilu will definitely send troops to attack the south again." Ning He nodded and said casually.

"How so?" He Lanqi was puzzled by this, and couldn't help frowning: "The new emperor of Beilu has only been on the throne for two years, and he is still young, the court must be unstable, how can he rashly send troops at this time." ”

"The big Sima of Beilu you just mentioned, the father-in-law of the little emperor of Beilu, usurped the throne when the little emperor was making a bowl in the spring, no, he was enthroned by his little son-in-law, and he is already the emperor." Ning He smiled bitterly.

The wars in the northern part of Daqin in the past few years were all provoked by the new emperor and the emperor of Beilu.

The three branches and three surnames of the royal family in Dalu have the right to ascend to the top, and this former Da Sima is from one of the three surnames, Chi Yangu, who lives in Xijing and is supported by various ministries in the western realm of Dalu.

Later, he was trusted by the old emperor of Dalu and awarded the position of Da Sima, in charge of the military and government, and regarded him as a person who entrusted the orphan.

After this person came to power, he frequently fought wars, not only consuming a large number of troops and horses from the eastern border that did not deal with him, but also because of his few defeats, he quickly gained more people to support him.

Now it can be said that most of the forces in the eastern and western parts are under control and the strength is strong.

However, the way in which he gained his position was also despised and disdained by the forces in the central region, and he did not want to fight with his own people first, and the best way to calm down all disobedience by force was to continue to move outward.

Moreover, he has already put it into action, and made a gambling contract with the former emperor's cousin elected by the various forces in the central part of the law, King Changping, to lead three armies to attack the two mansions of Daqin Beijiang and Beiyuan, and the first to break through the border wins.

Don't ask Ning He how he knows.

Because this news is that he took a battalion of wolf cavalry scouts and brought them back from the territory of Dalu with nine deaths.

Just for this news, the five hundred wolves of the Liezi Battalion rode and returned to Daqin alive, less than twenty people.

It's a pity that he couldn't hold back, smoked a cynical idiot, and was kicked out.

"We can't take care of those things that live in Qionglou, Shujing, don't interrupt, let Yun You continue, there is also a battle in Wolf Mountain, talk about it quickly." Cheng Chen couldn't listen to these unreached things at all, not to mention that it was all about the emperor, even if it was from another country, he felt that it was something floating in the sky, and he found a gap, so he urged He Lanqi to continue what he said before.

He Lanqi glared angrily, seeing that the others were also of little interest, and decided to have a chance to talk to Ning He alone later, and turned into a storyteller again, and said:

"In the autumn of the next year after the first battle of Yanbeiguan, the great Sima Chiyan of Beilu Gu Liuru, with his second son Chiyan Gu Moying as the commander, led 50,000 elite horsemen to the south.

It's just that the offense and defense in this battle are different, and our Daqin is the main attacker.

With the deputy commander of the Zhenbei Army, General Longhu as the main general, and the wolf cavalry general as the deputy general, led the wolf cavalry army with 10,000 soldiers, directly penetrated into the southeast of the Beilu Reed Bunting, attacked in all directions, divided the enemy's troops, and then lured the enemy army to the area of Wolf Mountain, came to a tooth for a tooth, the enemy more than 20,000 horsemen, cut down at the foot of the Wolf Mountain, and the rear soldiers went out for a hundred miles, plundered the law towards the eleven cities, and returned with a great victory. ”

"That's not right, isn't it 50,000 elite horsemen, even if they dispersed before, and then they knew that they were fooled, wouldn't they get together again, why don't you have more than 20,000 horsemen, just watch the wolf cavalry plunder the city?" Cheng Chen found that something was wrong, glanced at He Lanqi with disgust and questioning, and turned to look at Ning He.

"It is only claimed to be 50,000, but in fact there are only 20,000 elite cavalry, and the rest can be regarded as auxiliary rangers, not elite soldiers. The beheaded are all rangers, Chi Yan Gu Moying is indeed very powerful, he led 500 personal guards, he dared to take 30,000 rangers to fight with our wolf cavalry, and successfully sold several rangers such as reed bunting under the wolf mountain, and he successfully escaped. Ning He drank another glass of wine to himself, and sighed lightly to tell the truth.

"The eleven cities were also deliberately ceded?"

This time it was He Lanqi who asked the question, because of his regrets back then, he was very concerned about the war in the north, and he deliberately left someone to investigate, but he didn't expect that the discrepancies were not small.

Ning He shook his head and said: "That's not it, the wolf cavalry army is still the wolf cavalry army after all, the general personally led five thousand cavalry to fight against Chi Yan Gu Moying, our nine-character battalion attacked all parts of the reed bunting, and broke eleven cities, which can be regarded as a shame and hatred, and avenged the brothers who died in the battle five years ago and the people who died in vain, so he returned to the army to stop the war."

"Hahaha! That's right! This is our big wolf ride! When Cheng Chen heard this, he shouted first, poured a large bowl of wine directly, handed it to Ning He, and then took a bowl himself.

The rest of the people were the same, including He Lanqi, who also picked up a big bowl of wine proudly, touched one bowl, and drank it all bitterly.

As He Lanqi said before, they admired and sighed, but they were also depressed.

After all, the Wolf Cavalry Army is the same as the Annan Army in their southwest region, and they are all elites with independent names in big chess.

The entire Daqin Bafang Border Army, there are 22 armies under it, and there are only three with separate banners.

"By the way, Shu Jing is a member of the wolf rider, how can he be here?" After a bowl of wine, He Lanqi patted his head, as if waking up from a dream, and wondered.

Cheng Chen, who had already heard Ning He say the reason for calling them out, preemptively said: "Let people come out, go to our county lieutenant."

Then he rolled up his sleeves and said, "I just patronized the fact that you were a border soldier, but I forgot to ask you why you let people get out." Tell me? ”

He Lanqi said, "Go to Ying'an to be a county lieutenant?"

"I beat an idiot with some power in the family, and I was kicked out, and thanks to the general's protection, I was able to be transferred to Ying'an. I just shouted to you, just to look at your knife, I heard Mr. Mu say that you are Yongnan swordsman, I want to know the situation over there first, and I have a good bottom in my heart. Ning He explained, and the two of them answered the questions together, and explained their original intentions to everyone by the way.

Cheng Chen patted his chest directly when he heard this: "Hey, you just go and it's over, with our brothers here, make sure everything goes smoothly!"

He Lanqi and a few others also smiled and nodded.

Although the county lieutenant set up by Daqin is a subordinate official of the county government, he is only in charge of military affairs, and there are three hundred-person township troops under him.

Every year, a team serves, responsible for guarding the city, guarding the access to the city, and finding the streets to maintain daily law and order, and suppressing bandits in the territory.

The other two teams are engaged in agriculture normally and will be rotated for the coming year.

In addition, there are ten recruits in one fire, which can be regarded as pro-soldiers, and can also be regarded as the elite of the township soldiers.

The township soldiers are similar to the government army, but the 32 government soldiers are military households, and they plough the tuntian, and they have to practice when the farm is not working.

The township soldiers still plant their own fields, and they still have to pay taxes when they are not serving.

The downside is that the other two teams have to help the team that serves to plant the family's land together.

The advantage is that their taxes will be much lighter, they will be able to save more food, and they will not have to do other servitude.

It's a good job overall, and there's some extra oil and water.

As for whether the drill is conducted or not, it all depends on the mood of the county lieutenant, and the general combat effectiveness is low, and it can be regarded as a priority for the recruitment of military households and border troops in the government army.

At the very least, they must be able to drill the basic battle formation in Daqin.

In addition to being controlled by a county order, the real chief officer is actually a county lieutenant, and then he can be promoted to a government military general, but he has no subordinate relationship, but he is under the control of the military department, and is not in the civilian system, which is regarded as a pure military attaché.

The division of military and political rule in Daqin has always been clear, and this is true at all levels.

And Ying'an is actually a rich county and a Shang county, and most of the county lieutenants in various places are held by people from local noble clans, so it stands to reason that it is not Ning He's turn to be transferred.

The biggest reason for this is the group of people in front of you.

He Lan's family, Cheng family, the two swordsman families, in fact, are the local leaders, and the rest of the families are also mostly looking forward to their horses, not to mention the two swordsmen There are more than 40 gangs of all sizes, all over Yongnan.

They themselves are unwilling to do this boring petty official who is basically impossible to promote, and others have no choice but to do it, and even the county magistrate has to ask them to do things many times.

Over time, there were many vacancies in the position of lieutenant of Ying'an County, and it became a hateful job.

It can be said that as long as these guys don't make trouble, and then say hello to the people below, Ning He can sleep a lot every day after he goes to work, and there is nothing to worry about at all.

Although Ning He knew about the swordsman in Lingbei, he also learned some things from Mu Bai, not only about the swordsman, but also about the Taoism in the county yamen.

But he really didn't expect to stop a master from coming out.

At that moment, I heard a few people explain Ying'an's situation clearly, grinning happily.

"Come on, come on, I salute everyone, one bowl is not enough, I have to have three bowls."

While laughing, he poured himself wine, and poured tons and tons of it.

"Drink together, drink together." Cheng Chen also picked up the wine bowl with a sigh, "Let's call it the fate of the special mother!" Let's become three fat, look at you pleasing to the eye! ”

"You're talking about human beings today. Come, Shujing, our brothers will have to communicate more in the future. He Lanqi playfully kicked Cheng Chen, and also touched Ning He's wine bowl again, and drank again.

Ning He didn't drink less before, and now he drank it again, and his tongue was a little bigger, but his consciousness was still sober, and he responded: "When I settle down in Ying'an, you all have to come, and then I will invite you and tell you that my barbecue is a must, and I will make a few more jars of wine when I have leisure, and the family handicraft is fragrant and strong, and it is delicious."

Everyone should go down, and say that they will take Ning He around Ying'an at that time, meet other brothers and friends, and have a drink together.

Then Cheng Chen, who also drank a little too much, lay on the window to breathe the wind, and suddenly said in surprise: "Yo! What a handsome little lady! ”

Suddenly, a bunch of big heads appeared in the window, and they looked out together.

But I saw a figure in white clothes, glanced at them with cold eyes, and then flew away.

Several people didn't see what the parents were like, so they could only shake their heads regretfully and come back to drink.

And Ning He, who seized the opportunity and caught a glance, couldn't help frowning, confessed, and after making an appointment to say goodbye to Ying'an, he left quickly and chased after him.

"Is it so violent? Just chased someone? Cheng Chen blinked a pair of leopard eyes and said stunned.

"Maybe it's someone who already knows each other."

He Lanqi noticed the change in Ning He's expression when he frowned, and then continued.

Cheng Chen smiled, "That's okay, I also said that this Shujing is actually braver than me, it seems that it is still a little worse!" ”

"Roll over!"

When everyone heard his shameless words, their eyes immediately flew together, and they greeted each other with their fists and feet, making a mess.
