Shen Jin took a few steps forward and also walked into the city gate cave, which could not only shelter from the rain, but also facilitate him to get close enough to take a closer look at Zhang Xiu. This is also a young man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but a faint mustache on his upper lip, at most twenty-five or sixteen years old, his physique is relatively strong, and his blue-scaled iron shirt is the standard color of the Jin State Captain's uniform.

"Are you ......" Shen Jin didn't know Zhang Xiu, so naturally he had no way of knowing the past when he was the leader of the Great Sima Protector's team, he was just too surprised to expect to see the Jin officers and soldiers who stayed in Luoyang City.

"Auxiliary Captain Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu repeated his name again, of course he knew the general with a giant sword, if it weren't for the fact that the general rejected the kindness of the great Sima a little ignorantly, maybe he would have become the new confidant of the shogunate of the great Sima by now, "The great Sima decree, doesn't it mean that there are people in the army who are willing to stay in Luoyang and come to look for the general? I will stay, but there are not many people with me, only one hundred and twenty people in my own team, and the other people from the former military camp, the elite cavalry battalion and the martial arts battalion are all gone." ”

"Why did you stay?" Shen Jin was overjoyed in his heart, but his expression was very cold, staring at Zhang Xiu's bright pupils tightly, he needed to know the true purpose of the other party's stay.

"I am a member of the Zhang family in Pingling, because of this background, so I was promoted very quickly after joining the army, and I have been an auxiliary military captain, but at the beginning I have been the guard of the Great Sima Mansion, and it was easy to catch up with the war, but I still did the Chinese army sentry guard, this armor has been worn for several years, but I haven't caught a fight, damn, I don't want to be laughed at by my own people until I die. Moreover, I feel that it is a shame to throw away Luoyang City, which took so much effort and so many deaths, and I have no chance to participate in the battle against it, at least let me do my part to defend it. Zhang Xiu cocked his thumb and pointed behind him, "The one hundred and twenty brothers here are all Pingling disciples, and now I have brought them over as they are, and the Pingling people are not a bad breed who shrunk their necks and fled." ”

The Zhang family in Pingling is a very inconspicuous small family in the south of Jiankang City, but it is such an inconspicuous small family, but there are so many bloody heroes, Shen Jin smiled, just like his Wu Xing trilogy, he met like-minded comrades-in-arms, which made a warm current rise in his heart.

He stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder affectionately, and his palm hit the iron armor on his shoulder, making a bang.

"You're brave, but you must be stupid, and you should think about what it means to stay. ”

Zhang Xiu shrugged his shoulders and looked disapplieving: "Actually, we just have a little more shame than those who are not so stupid." ”

Including Shen Jin and Zhang Xiu, the soldiers burst into laughter, and the laughter echoed in the city gate hole, buzzing and ringing in the ear drums.

It may be easier for martial artists and martial artists to come together, Cheng Yifan watched Shen Jin and Zhang Xiu talk happily at first sight under the eaves, and thought with envy, recalling that Shen Jin's shouting to himself just now made him feel a little uncomfortable, but in front of the musicians around him who were trembling in the wind and rain, he still stood straight, which was the majesty of an official.

The rain was too heavy, and the water on the ground was getting deeper and deeper, and Cheng Yifan, who had no intention of joining the conversation between the martial artists, suddenly found that Shen Jin had waded over again despite the pouring of the rainstorm.

"Master Cheng, do you know the current situation?"

Cheng Yifan stretched his neck, so that he would not be too short in front of the tall Shen Jin: "Guarding the dangerous city alone, protecting the land and protecting the territory, how can the lower officials not know?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Jin smiled at Cheng Yifan for the first time: "That's right, there are many things that have to be more than Master Cheng." ”

Regardless of whether Cheng Yifan's stay was voluntary or not, the reality was that he was the same as himself, becoming an official in this city far away from the mainland of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the butcher's knife of the Hu invasion would cut through his neck or pierce his thin body without discrimination, thinking of this, Shen Jin felt that he should still show his respect.

Shen Jin's smile made Cheng Yifan slightly stunned, and then he heard a series of requests made by Shen Jin.

"I need Lord Cheng to collect enough grain and straw, arrange manpower to fortify the city, build earthen walls between the streets, and prepare for street battles, and recruit soldiers, I need more soldiers......"

"And the repair of embankments. Cheng Yifan muttered angrily.

"Yes, and the embankment. Shen Jin didn't care about Cheng Yifan's expression, "Storing grain, fortifying the city, building walls, recruiting troops, repairing embankments, these things have to be done one by one, before the enemy arrives, I don't ask Luoyang to become a solid Xiongguan moat, this is impossible, but I only hope that it will be enough to bring heavy losses to the enemy, let them know that the Great Jin is no longer the weakness and bullying of fifty years ago, and they must pay the price for every inch of land they get." ”

I understand this kind of honor, but I am not a vulgar official who only takes advantage of tricks, of course I will do what you say, and you don't need to talk to me like a child! Cheng Yifan was a little annoyed, his neck was sour, and his face became ugly, but he still pursed his mouth and listened respectfully.

"These musicians are people from the official bureau, right?" Shen Jin pointed to the musicians who looked like frightened birds and looked at him cautiously, "From today on, you have been conscripted into the barracks, there is no need for pianos and flutes here, what you should pick up are swords, guns, swords, halberds, and the food in the army does not serve useless mouths." ”

Most of the musicians were so shocked that their faces turned pale, only a middle-aged man who looked quite elegant smiled faintly, and Cheng Yifan finally couldn't help but speak: "This ...... They are court musicians, and they practice the state etiquette, and there is an old saying ......"

"When the fierce enemy appears before them, tell me how they saved their own lives? Is it a-for-tat battle with drums, or is it some state ritual to make the enemy turn around and flee?"

Cheng Yifan was speechless for a while, and stammered: "But...... But by conscripting them into the army, they can save ...... Did you die?"

"No, but they at least have a chance to drag some backs. Shen Jin's blazing gaze swept over their faces, "We don't have to deceive ourselves, when Da Sima left here with the army, all those who remained and belonged to the military system of the Great Jin State Administration either chose to fight bravely and die, or were slaughtered by the enemy without mercy like a lowly dog!"

Shen Jin's words made the faces of those musicians even paler, and Zhang Xiu in the city gate cave copied his hands, chuckled and said to the sergeant beside him: "If this is a mobilization to boost morale, this is undoubtedly the worst I have ever heard, look at what they have all been scared of? Don't expect a cat or a dog to have the courage of a tiger and a wolf, although he is telling the truth." ”

※※※

The garrison of Luoyang City began in this rainy afternoon, and the rain had not stopped, Cheng Yifan rode on Shen Jin's horse, and rushed to the granary located in the south of the city in the wind and rain.

One hundred and twenty soldiers and forty-five musicians lined up, following Shen Jin and Zhang Xiu, and at dusk when the rain was fading, they walked northwest to Kim Yong Castle, the commanding height of Luoyang and a strategic point for defending Luoyang, where the military camp was located.

The soldiers were in stark contrast to the musicians, the soldiers lined up in two columns, and although their armor was not so distinct because of the mud, their steps were still very neat and powerful, so that the eyes of the people along the way were a little less confused and panicked. Behind the ranks of the soldiers, forty-five people were sparsely lined up, some of them walked with big steps, some of them walked slowly, they were all dressed in wide-fitting robes, and they were also wet by the rain, and the robes were covered with large chunks of blue and black water stains, all of them were hunched over, their heads bowed, as if they were afraid of being seen, and the musical instruments in their hands that they were not willing to throw away were even more ridiculous.

I don't care so much, I need a soldier source that I can use now, Shen Jin's soaked robe was mixed with mud and sweat, exuding a strange smell.

When he arrived in front of Kim Yong City, which was surrounded by city walls, it was already dark, and in addition to Wu Xing's tribe, which had already set up camp, Shen Jin was pleasantly surprised to see that there were still several camps with lights, which showed that there were still people living in those camps.

Was it another sergeant who volunteered to stay? Seeing the big man who was welcoming from the camp, Shen Jin realized that he dared to love that they were all acquaintances--- the team of displaced people who had traveled with the forward army.

Chi Jing's exile army is still not in the end, or it has not had time to be absorbed by Da Sima, they just follow the army to stay here, since the young lady flew into the sky with the Dong girl of the Qian's family, it seems that this exile army has been forgotten, and it is also a loss to rely on a well-dressed Jin army clothes, and a few acquaintances to take care of it, in order to get back enough food and salary for the exile army. But today, when the army was urgently pulled, the wandering army was like a child without a father or mother, watching Zuo Jinba camp and start the village, but they were stuck in place in a daze, if it weren't for Fan Mi of Wu Xing's tribe to kindly remind them, they were probably still waiting in that narrow corner outside Luoyang City.

When the army went out of the city, they poured into the city, and the camp of Kim Yong Cheng, where the army of the Red Armor Warriors was stationed, was empty, and the exile army was honest and unceremonious, and they found a few of the most decent camps to live in, and wondered in their hearts, if the army had not suddenly left, how could they have lived in such a good place?

Only the post is still vigilant, he always feels that today's army is too hasty, and where he is going here is also something that needs to be sorted out quickly, fortunately, Wu Xing's troops were ordered to move to Kim Yong City when the rain was like a note, this is the meeting of the two phases, but it happens that both parties are knowledgeable, from Fan Mi's mouth, the post finally knows the ins and outs of the whole thing, everyone is not a fool, he knows too well what the result of staying here means, the safest way is to lead the hundreds of displaced people to escape from Luoyang, just like the old days when the refugees beat the side drum, beat the autumn wind or something, in order to save the lives of the people。

But don't forget the origin of the post, his father died in battle for fighting against Hulu, and he is also considered to be a military queen, and according to his simple and simple ideas, General Shen is a kind person, and he has been treating them well at that time...... It's too fucking unjust.

Since Chi Jing and below, the post is the leader of the entire Wandering Army, he said a word, who dares not to listen? Who dares not to obey? So this Wandering Army also stayed, and as soon as he saw Shen Jin return to the camp, he rushed out, and his loud voice could be heard clearly from afar.

"General Shen! Mingfeng Village...... This one...... This one...... Except for a few people who went back to take care of the small family, there was one in the whole village, a total of seventy-six people, listen to ...... Listen to General Shen!" The post is most satisfied with his last sentence, which he has only learned these days, as for the name of the mighty general, he gave himself a name, how majestic does this title sound?

Unexpectedly, there are seventy-six more people to help, although they are all homeless, but they are also characters with many years of combat experience with Donghu Xianbei, which is much stronger than these musicians who have just joined, Shen Jin is not trivial, and arched his hand at the post: "Brother Jin is righteous, Shen Jin thank you!"

Zhang Xiu looked at the post quite burly, wearing an iron helmet without a tassel, but on his body was the light armor of the Jin army's foot soldiers, looking quite nondescript, and secretly surprised in his heart, I don't know where the other party is sacred.

Thirty-six Wu Xing's troops, one hundred and twenty garrison infantry, plus these seventy-six wandering people's army, and the forty-five musicians who had just been incorporated into the barracks, the total number was less than three hundred.

The post was patting his chest and said: "Ming'er give me a fast horse, I'll contact the green forest heroes near the left, as long as there is food and salary, I promise to pull a thousand people for you." ”

What kind of green forest hero will rush to know that there is no life or death? Shen Jin didn't have much hope for this, but he couldn't bear to hit the high excitement of the post, and nodded in agreement at the moment: "Okay, this is hard Brother Jin, not only for the official family, Brother Jin is also just changing, go back and choose some good armor and blades from the arsenal, not only Brother Jin, but also your brothers will also change their clothes, from now on, you will be the officers and soldiers of the Great Jin." ”

The thing that has been pending has now come true, although this collection came a little late, the post still couldn't help but be overjoyed, and grinned happily: "This matter is good, I'll tell them when I go back." ”

Fan Mi of Wu Xing's trilogy also came over at this time, and bowed beside Shen Jin: "Family master." ”

"Fan Mi, find a few brothers who are good at training and pick up the new ones. Shen Jin's gaze swept over the musicians who were cowering and looking at the barracks, "Also, arrows, fire, oil, rolling wood, and stones, these also need a lot of people, if you need anything, you can directly seek Luoyang Ling." ”

"Cheng, the villain understands. ”

"If you can, you should also recruit troops openly in the city, and indicate the amount of food and wages, and there will always be those who can't eat who will be willing to come. ”

Fan Mi bowed and promised, looking at Shen Jin and still a little worried, he knew what the family master's worries were, so he leaned over and said softly: "The villain has found that there is another place, which may add some manpower for us." ”

Shen Jin raised his eyebrows: "Where?"

"Cell. ”
