Autumn goes to winter, this year's winter is particularly cold, even the gods have been covered with a layer of snow, the eunuchs in the palace come and go, constantly sweeping the snow in the imperial palace, everyone's head is steaming, busy sweating.

On the main hall, the Ministry of Rites is still out of class and plays early, the new year name has been set, and it can only be officially opened after the New Year, and the year name is Hongli.

According to the Longteng ritual law, the year of the death of the first emperor cannot be changed, and it is necessary to wait until the second year to enable the new emperor's era name.

Shangguan Wenxuan, who returned home, came to Shangguan Yuyun's study, leaning against the stove, his hands that were shivering and cold slowly became warm.

He looked up at his father and said, "Ouyang Yanggu, the old fox, has urged the Ministry of War to allocate 20,000 people of ordnance and 100,000 stone military rations to the Flame Prefecture, and the others are temporarily parked in the Flame Prefecture. ”

"How's the movement going on Prince Zhong's side?" Shangguan Yuyun held the hot tea and asked, the weather is too cold today, his body is really cold, even if there is a stove in the house, he is still slightly trembling.

Shangguan Wenxuan replied: "Long Fei, everything is as usual, there is nothing wrong, the major kings have returned to the fiefdom one after another, and Mo Xie asked the military department for 50,000 sets of armor. ”

"Mo Xie hurriedly urged the Ministry of War to give, after all, he still holds the position of Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses, didn't Hanshui Court meet Mo Ye. The Ministry of War should send more people to keep an eye on these five people, and the new emperor's year name is about to be activated, so don't make any trouble. Hearing that there was no problem, Shangguan Yuyun also put his mind at ease, and shrank up after a few words of advice.

"Back to my father, Hanshui Court handed over a post to the Ministry of Rites the next day after the first emperor was buried, Mo Xie also went to the Ministry of Rites to submit a post to resign the next day, Long Wei also stepped down from his post as the Governor of the Praetorian Guard and returned to Zhenzhou, only Wei Yixiao and Long Fei have not left yet, father, now the Ouyang family has started to make moths again, and kicked out all the people we have planted in the Praetorian Guard, should we fight back?" Shangguan Wenxuan asked with some concern.

"Calm down, the arrow shoots the first bird, he wants to perish, he can only make him crazy first! Let's go down and write a letter to Xuanyuan Banmeng and Chen Yuanjun! You know how to write it, right? Shangguan Yuyun said lightly.

"Got it, father!" Shangguan Wenxuan bowed and withdrew from the study.

——— North Pass Prefecture

After the new emperor ascended the throne, Linghu Qianqiu resigned again, and the new emperor was approved, and Chen Yuanjun was officially crowned as the general of Zhengyipin Bei Pass Prefecture, and commanded the military affairs of North Pass Prefecture in a unified manner, and Xuanyuan Banmeng was promoted to the deputy general of North Pass Prefecture to assist in military affairs.

After a year and a half of recuperation, the military strength of Bei Pass Prefecture has been fully restored, and the scale of cavalry has reached 100,000, divided into the First Cavalry Army and the Luosha Army, Xie Changkong served as the commander of the First Cavalry Army, and Shahe served as the deputy commander.

The Governor of the Rasha Army was temporarily vacant, and the Deputy Governor was temporarily in charge of the military affairs of the Raksha Army.

One day, Nangong Xingyu took two people into Chen Yuanjun's general's mansion with great interest.

Two young people, one dressed in black, heroic and cool, seemed a little weak.

One person is tall and straight.

"General Chen, let me introduce you, these are my two junior brothers, this black-clothed man is named Bai Xiansheng, don't look at him as soft and weak, but don't underestimate him, he specializes in infantry formation with his teacher, and he is a ghost. This big guy is called Chu Yunshan, his ancestor is a Beiliang general, he is a native of Beiliang, he has studied in front of teachers since he was a child, he is proficient in riding warfare, and he has the courage of ten thousand people! Nangong Xingyu happily introduced the origin of the two to Chen Yuanjun.

"I've seen General Chen!" The two glared at Chu Yucheng, and then saluted Chen Yuanjun.

"Oh? Your junior brother? Come on, please take a seat. As soon as Chen Yuanjun heard that he was a disciple of the god of war, he attached a little importance to it in his heart, and beckoned a few people to sit down: "Are you coming to Bei Kui Prefecture?" ”

"Join the army on the orders of the loyal and brave king!" The two shouted in unison.

Chen Yuanjun immediately understood that the generals under his command were worried that they were not enough, and the generalissimo sent them to the door.

As if seeing Chenyue's doubts, Nangong Xingyu patted his somewhat bulging chest and said, "Don't worry!" These two are different from me, they can both afford to charge with a spear. ”

Nangong Xingyu's words made everyone laugh, although he has also been on the battlefield a few times, but his kung fu is really not very good, most of the time he is still behind the scenes to give more advice, after all, he is the great apprentice of the god of war.

"Since it is at the behest of my king, this white brother will go to the command of General Mu Lingfeng, and Brother Chu will go to the first army, and the two of them will hang up the white body first, assist in military affairs, and then be crowned an official when they have merit, how about it?" For talents, he does not refuse to come, but the border army has always valued military merits, and if it is given to a senior official for no reason, it will inevitably be gossiped about by others.

Nangong Xingyu had expected it, and was also worried that Chen Yuanjun would break the rules in his face, and he was also relieved when he heard Chen Yuanjun's words, and turned his head to look at the two.

"No problem, we are here to use what we have learned to serve our family and country, such an arrangement is reasonable, General Chen is waiting for our good news." Chu Yunshan patted his chest and said. He is a native of Northern Liangzhou, so he naturally knows that the most despised person in the border army is the general who climbed up by relying on relationships.

Bai Wenshan on the side also laughed: "In the future, if the credit is enough, General Chen must give me an official who is bigger than Nangong, this senior sister is chattering in front of us all day long, arrogant, isn't it a year or two earlier than us." ”

"Huh?" Chen Yuanjun affirmed the idea in his heart and was surprised.

"He's like a girl all day long, and our junior brothers usually call him Senior Sister in private."

Chen Yuanjun laughed when he heard it, and nodded again and again, the two of them had no false posture, and they were very angry with him.

Nangong Xingyu was not angry, and then looked at Chen Yuanjun and said, "I just have a credit for this, waiting for the two of them." Outside the border pass, there are two very active horse bandits, who often sell iron to the beast yang, and recently their nest was discovered by the scout camp, how about letting them try it? ”

The two of them also looked at Chen Yuanjun eagerly, as if they couldn't wait.

"How many bandits are there?" Chen Yuanjun asked rhetorically.

"There are almost 2,000 people in both groups, and almost half of them have horses." Nangong Xingyu replied on the side.

At the border passes, the 500 horse bandits are already considered to be very strong, and they should not be underestimated, and they need to be uprooted as soon as possible to prevent their forces from becoming too great.

Chen Yuanjun lowered his head and thought for a while: "In this way, you go to General Xuanyuan to transfer two thousand infantry soldiers and two thousand cavalry, and the two of you will command them in a unified manner, and if you eat them, you will be given a captain, if you can't eat, you can only watch your senior sister show off her power in front of you, how about it?" Hahahaha! ”

"Good!" The two replied heavily.

Then Nangong Xingyu took them down to familiarize themselves with the army, and set off to exterminate the horse bandits half a month later, in order to prevent problems, Nangong Xingyu personally led three thousand cavalry and an army to suppress the formation.

———

A month later, Chen Yuanjun and Xuanyuan Banmeng came to the Blood Fat Pass in person, and saw the school field full of trophies brought back by the two, as well as the dense prisoners squatting aside, and asked in surprise: "So fast, how about the casualties?" ”

Bai Xiansheng smiled slightly: "There were no casualties, dozens of brothers were injured, we led them out of the lair, picked a suitable terrain, quickly interspersed and divided, trapped them in the valley, and forced them to surrender, the horse bandits are not highly disciplined, and they will not fight when they see that the situation is wrong." ”

Chen Yuanjun was stunned, is it so brilliant? Turning his head to look at Xuanyuan Banmeng: "Brother Xuanyuan, what do you think?" ”

"I read the military newspaper and asked the soldiers who went out together, and their two pairs of light infantry and light cavalry were very good at using the terrain, and they were good at using the terrain, so they were great talents. Both of them are pioneers, but they are very similar to the men of my northern pass. Xuanyuan Banmeng said very frankly, such a record also frightened him.

"Haha, I have added another great talent to the Northern Passage, and I have issued an order to promote Beixian Sheng to the captain of Buyun, just under General Mu Lingfeng, and Chu Yunshan will go to the Luosha Army as the captain of the Yongwu Colony, Brother Xuanyuan, do you see?"

"I've added another strong general to the North Pass!" Xuanyuan half-dreamed nodded and smiled.

"No!" The two laughed happily, Chen Yuanjun and Xuanyuan Banmeng's unhesitation made them feel trusted, and the two also believed Nangong Xingyu's words, in Bei Kui Prefecture, under Chen Yuanjun, they would always get ahead.

At the end of Longteng's 178th year, two more fierce generals were added to Bei Kui Prefecture.
