Looking at Chen Yuanjun's impatient eyes, Xuanyuan took a slow sip of water and said, "A few days ago, our grain transportation team encountered bandits in the area of Qixing County. ”

"When? How did I not know? These guys are so daring! Chen Yuanjun became nervous all of a sudden, if the grain and grass were robbed, it would be a big deal.

Xuanyuan Banmeng waved his hand: "It's okay, those bandits were killed by the escort team on the spot, and there is no problem with food." Hearing this, Chen Yuanjun was relieved.

Xuanyuan half-dreamed walked to the map hanging on the wall, pointed to the location of the northern pass and said: "The jurisdiction of the northern pass is very large, there are more than ten large mountain ranges, and the terrain is steep, which also leads to the easy breeding of bandits and robbers, and it is located on the border, and there are horse gangs that rely on smuggling to make a living inside and outside the customs, and thieves have become more and more rampant in recent years. ”

Chen Yuanjun looked at the map and nodded, his own hometown is the border between Beiyaozhou and Bei Kui Prefecture, which he knows much more clearly than Xuanyuan Banmeng, and then asked puzzledly: "What do you mean by suddenly saying this?" What does this have to do with raising money? ”

"It's a big deal!" Xuanyuan glanced at Chen Yuanjun in half a dream: "Come and see, there are a lot of bandits in these mountains, entrenched for many years, there are thousands of powerful people, and there are dozens of hundreds of small ones, we can send recruits to suppress bandits, firstly, in order to train soldiers, recruits always need real swords and guns to fight to grow faster, and secondly, it is also to protect the territory and the people, and maintain the stability of the lives of the people in the state, this is also your internal business as the deputy general of Beiai Prefecture, third: these bandits have robbed for so many years, they must have more or less some money, We took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the bandits and directly snatched them back from him, so we won't have money to guarantee. ”

"Damn! You're so smart, that's a great idea! After listening to Xuanyuan's half-dream, Chen Yuanjun suddenly became happy, and he scolded: "Bei Pass Prefecture should indeed suppress bandits, hmph, this group of people even dare to rob military rations, they are simply impatient." ”

Of course, Chen Yuanjun felt that it would be great if he could rob more money, but the poor bandits didn't know that they had robbed all their lives, and they would soon be robbed.

As a result, a mighty anti-bandit operation was set off in the territory of Bei Pass Prefecture, and the 60,000 troops of the Tiger Pass were divided into more than a dozen routes, and the method of bringing old soldiers and new soldiers was adopted to suppress the bandits separately, and for a time the large and small bandit dens hidden in the mountains of Bei Pass Prefecture were all suffered, and all of them were uprooted.

Except for the bandits with a larger number of people who were able to resist a little for a while, other small bandits were wiped out in an instant under the hooves of the border army, and the entire anti-bandit operation lasted for more than two months, and the bandits in Bei Pass Prefecture were swept away, and the people of Bei Pass Prefecture all applauded.

Chen Yuanjun looked at the boxes of gold and silver treasures that were moved into the Tiger Pass, his face bloomed with joy, these bandits were so rich, they knew that they should be exterminated as soon as possible, and then Chen Yuanjun actually sent a letter to Beiyao to Yanqing, asking if he needed to lead troops to Beiyao to suppress the bandits, which caused Huyanqing to scold him!

With money, Chen Yuanjun suddenly became wealthy, and he spent a lot of money to build thousands of sets of heavy armor, completely replenishing the number of heavy armor battalions to 5,000 people, and truly becoming an elite army of strategic significance.

Mu Lingfeng looked at the five thousand heavy armor that was fully loaded, tears filled his eyes with excitement, and he hugged Chen Yuanjun and cried and laughed, shaking Chen Yuanjun's head dizzy.

Chen Yuanjun looked at Mu Lingfeng with a serious face, and said, "General Mu, now I have everything you need for you, and the next training depends on you, don't let me and General Xuanyuan down!" ”

Mu Lingfeng patted his chest and assured Chen Yuanjun that he would definitely be able to create an iron-armored tiger ben, which was his lifelong wish, for himself and for his father-in-law who died in battle.

In the training day after day, the recruits are growing rapidly, and in this crackdown on bandits, the recruits' performance is very eye-catching, and they have begun to show their edge.

Chen Yuanjun saw that the effect was very significant, and he was sincerely gratified, it seems that the half-year period has arrived, and he can give Brother Linghu a satisfactory answer.

Autumn passed unconsciously, and another winter came, and the soldiers standing guard were still shivering a little from the cold even if they were wearing cotton clothes, and the cold wind was still as biting as last year, but there was no longer the tension of last winter's army.

———

Xuanyuan was looking at the book of soldiers in the room, Chen Yuanjun walked in, and said with a smile: "General Xuanyuan, I have something to do with you, I want to ask for a leave." ”

"Oh? Leave? Are you asking me for leave? Xuanyuan raised his head curiously: "Why are you asking for leave?" You have no relatives here. ”

"Hey, hey." Chen Yuanjun smiled: "Isn't it almost the New Year, I want to go back to my hometown and see ...... by the way." ”

Xuanyuan half-dreamed and understood instantly: "I see that going home is fake, and it depends on whether my sweetheart is real, haha, that's right, you are now the deputy general of Beijiao, you can go back to propose marriage." ”

I came out just to fill my stomach, and now I can be regarded as famous, and the girl has been waiting for more than two years, so it's time to go back and see.

Pierced by Xuanyuan Banmeng, Chen Yuanjun smiled wryly, nodded and said: "I will try to settle the matter when I go back this time, people have waited for me for so long, and I have to give someone an explanation." ”

"Okay, that's it!" Xuanyuan Banmeng waved his hand and agreed to ask for leave, this is a lifelong event for a brother, and he can't be sloppy, and then asked, "Can you do it alone?" Do you want Nangong to follow you? ”

Chen Yuanjun waved his hand: "No need, it's not a war, what are you taking him for, I'll just bring a few personal soldiers." The training of the soldiers of the Tiger Rejection Pass has been on the right track, so I bother Brother Xuanyuan to worry a lot, I will come back as soon as I finish my work, you can rest assured. ”

"Okay, congratulations in advance on your beauty, haha." Xuanyuan Banmeng laughed loudly and slapped Chen Yuanjun's shoulder.

Chen Yuanjun also had a look of longing, self-absorbed on the side, and smirked twice from time to time.

A few days later, Xuanyuan Banmeng left with a few guards, Chen Yuanjun unconsciously thought of Sister Yan'er in his heart, he came out for more than two years, and in the past two years, there have been some letters and exchanges, Chen Yuanjun really misses Sister Yan'er, and feels that he should go back to spend the New Year with his parents.

Chen Yuanjun said to himself: "Why don't I get married too?" I can't let Sister Yan'er wait any longer. ”

I packed my luggage and went back with Shahe.

The wind was bitterly cold, and the river behind the village froze again, exactly the same as last year.

The New Year is approaching, and every household in the village is filled with a festive atmosphere, and the villagers are busy buying New Year's goods at home.

Looking at the hometown in front of him, Chen Yuanjun closed his eyes and opened his arms, breathed in the fresh air of his hometown, and then galloped home.

"Dad, mother, Sister Yan'er, what are you doing!" Chen Yuanjun strode into the house, and the person arrived before the sound came.

"Bang dang!" Turning around and seeing Chen Yuanjun standing at the door, Sister Yan'er was stunned for a moment, and then the bowl in her hand fell to the ground.

Chen Yuanjun strode forward, picked up Yan'er, and spun in a circle in the air: "Haha, I miss you Sister Yan'er, I'm back, are you happy?" After speaking, he kissed Ling'er fiercely.

"What are you doing, put me down, there are so many people!" Yan Er's face turned red all of a sudden, and her palms slapped indiscriminately on Chen Yuanjun's body.

Seeing that his father and mother also ran out of the room, Chen Yuanjun immediately put Ling'er down and scratched his head in disgust.

Chen Yuanjun's parents and Yan'er's father Zhang Tuhe, who were standing on the side, all three of them looked at Chen Yuanjun and were speechless with excitement.

Chen Yuanjun's mother wiped the tears in her eyes and looked at her son quietly, the previous war in Beiyaozhou had already spread, many people had died, and it was best for her son to come back alive.

"Dad, mother, uncle, son is back." Chen Yuanjun took a step back and kowtowed heavily, his eyes a little red.

Shahe called a few guards and said that he was going to the county town to ask Chen Yuanjun for his resignation, Chen Yuanjun knew their intentions, and there was no ink, but he just told him to return on the tenth day of the first month, and then Shahe took people to the county town.

Chen Yuanjun's family got together happily in the evening, and now Chen Yuanjun is almost known in Beiyaozhou, the family thought that Chen Yuanjun must be busy, but they didn't expect to be able to rush back for the New Year.

Yan Er kept sandwiching dishes for Chen Yuanjun, her eyes were full of love, and she knew in her heart that Ai Lang must have suffered a lot when he was fighting outside.

Chen Yuanjun's father looked at his gobbling son, and said with relief: "I didn't expect my son to become a big hero, haha, even the prince of Beast Yang can be slaughtered, it really gives our village a long face!" ”

Father Yan sighed and said, "This battle is really miserable! After the withdrawal of Beastyang, many people in the county were dressed in linen and filial piety, alas! ”

Zhang Yan'er kicked her father under the table, her eyes widened, how could she say this during the New Year, Zhang Tuhe also reacted, and hurriedly closed his mouth.
