Li Yan listened to this, glanced at Li Yu and Li Shan, and said, " It's nothing, if the front is really like Uncle Guoxin said, these few times have blocked the enemy soldiers, even if there is a war in the back, there should be no big battle for the time being, after the first few sieges, did not take the county seat, there are so many casualties, the enemy soldiers should be afraid of Marshal Hong, and must also know that unless the main general is changed, there may be a chance to attack, or there is a natural disaster or break through from the inside of the city, but this kind of thing has been thought of by Marshal Hong and his advisers, those are people who have been in battle for a long time, so it should not be easy for a large army to press in。 ”

Hearing this, Li Guoxin couldn't help but look at Li Yan in surprise, these things are indeed as Li Yan said, in the past year or so, Meng Guo has not sent a large army to Qingshan Pass, but occasionally there are still small groups of cavalry harassing and attacking. But these Li Yan can say it, which shows that this kid is mature in mind and not as thoughtful as some other teenagers.

"This little brother, what he said is that our Marshal Hong and the third army division are the world's fierce generals and talented people, and those thieves in Meng State can't attack the border four or five times, but they were also taken by the third division The head of the opponent's deputy marshal has already scared the thieves, and now our army often sends troops to attack them, and the enemy thieves who beat them are bitter. ”

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the front, it turned out that they had unconsciously come to the city gate, more than a dozen soldiers in armor lined up on both sides of the city gate, but there was a person standing in front of him, he was carrying a waist knife, also wearing armor, but there was a touch of red baby at the top of the helmet, this person was of moderate stature, black face and beardless, nose straight but a little eagle hook, his eyes looked at them like electricity, he stood in front of the middle of the second platoon of soldiers, just blocking the entrance of the city gate, thinking that he should be the leader of the team.

It was this person who spoke just now, and at this time he looked at Li Yan, and there was a little surprise in his eyes. After all, Li Yan only looked sixteen or seventeen years old from the frame, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, but he was not a rich and noble son, if it was those sons, he would not think it was strange, after all, these people from background, the elders of the family would often talk about these incidents, and it was not uncommon for them to come out and learn to turn their tongues over after hearing about it. And the north gate they are guarding today, the people who come are generally the villagers of the place under their jurisdiction or the people who run merchants in the dynasty, those sons and brothers of the court will not come here to play in recent years, after all, some things are still difficult to guarantee without accidents. Looking at Li Yan's dress, he wouldn't think that the son of the family in the court came here to play a private interview with Weifu, such a country boy had such an opinion, which made him feel a little interested, so he opened his mouth and said a few words.

When Li Yan saw the other party looking at him, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, bowed and saluted, "The kid just said nonsense, please forgive me." "These things of etiquette and religion have been taught to them by the old Xiucai in the village at the beginning. Let them remember that they must not be outsiders, barbarians, and they must practice well. In fact, the village is full of acquaintances, and they are rural farmers, and there are still a lot of vulgar words about each other. But Lao Xiucai is very strict with their juniors, which should be the pride of Lao Xiucai in this life.

The team leader was just a little curious, and after hearing Li Yan's words, he didn't say much. Then he turned to Li Guoxin and asked, "What are you doing when you enter the city at this time?"

Li Guoxin had already pulled the carriage at this time, came to the captain-like person, and replied respectfully, "Returning to the military master, I am the village chief of Lijia Village, Daqingshan, this is Lu Yin", said and took out the road guide that had been prepared and handed it over with both hands, and then said, "This is to bring a few descendants to the city to be apprentices and join the army."

The man who looked like the leader took the road and looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes."

After he heard the words enlistment, he smiled and said, "But you joined the Guards?"

Li Guoxin hurriedly replied, "Exactly."

The man continued, "Which of these men joined the army?"

Li Guoxin pointed to Li Yan and said, "Master Jun, he is the only one who joined the army, and the other two are apprentices." ”

When the man heard this, he also turned his face to look at Li Yan along Li Guoxin's finger, saw that it was him, and then said to Li Yan, "Oh, it turned out to be you." What your little baby said before has a few opinions, it is appropriate to join the army, our Marshal Hong now attaches great importance to people who have talents, after all, there are still more powerful soldiers. ”

When Li Yan heard this, he bowed down again and said, "Thank you, Master Jun, for your order." ”

The leader waved his hand and said, "Then you guys hurry up, this time the Guards only recruit one hundred and fifty people, this is the second day, this barracks is still recruiting quite quickly, it is estimated that it will be full today." After all, the Guards are a logistics department, and they rarely see blood, and they only take a little less than those of us on the front line."

After a pause, he said to Li Yan, "My name is Liu Chengyong, and I am the captain of the third team of the Zhan C Battalion, and we will have to deal with each other in the future." ”

When Li Yan heard this, he wondered in his heart, could it be that everyone in the barracks was so talkative, but he didn't dare to ask, so he just said, "Captain Liu, if the kid is lucky enough to enter the barracks, if there is a send, please ask the lord to give orders." ”

When Liu Chengyong heard this, he laughed and said, "Very good, very good", and then returned the road to Li Guoxin, sideways to get out of the way, and waved his hand to let them enter the city.

Li Guoxin took the road and put it in his arms, thanked him, beckoned Li Yan to get into the car quickly, and began to drive slowly towards the city gate, but he was still surprised by the words of Captain Liu just now, he knew that these soldiers were ruthless people who had rolled in the blood and water for many times, except for seeing the official master every day, but I had never seen them so polite to such a person as himself, and the best time was "oh" As soon as he let go, it was thankful, and it was common to find a reason to beat him when he was on a bad day; if he encountered a disaster, he might be closed for a few days, and if he didn't take out some silver and two dozen dots, he would not easily come out, but at this time he also had something in his heart, so he didn't think much about it, and hurried into the city.

Watching them enter the city, a pawn next to him asked Liu Chengyong strangely, "Liu Tou, why are you so polite to a country boy?"

Liu Chengyong glanced at him and said lightly, "Now if you want to talk about fighting in this army, it is Marshal Hong who has the final say, but since the last time the third division rescued Marshal Hong in the siege of the enemy, and like a god, he took the head of their deputy marshal in the army of ten thousand troops, and now Marshal Hong has the final say on many things." In the past two years, the third division has begun to go to the school in person every time he recruits into the army, and he will test the soldiers who have signed up one by one, especially those who have read books. Speaking of this, he also has a strange look, after all, every time he is conscripted, although the number of applicants is limited, since the conscription has been subsidized to the family in advance, there are dozens to hundreds of each time, but even so, the third division is also to test the physique of each person who is enlisted, although everyone knows the reason later, but every time I want to come to such a person to test the physique by myself, the workload is very large, so I still feel a little strange.

At this time, the soldier next to him said, "Yes, yes, I heard that Lord Ji wants to choose a suitable candidate as his heir, speaking of which, it is enviable, Lord Ji's martial arts are superb, it is estimated that he is at least the top master in the rivers and lakes, otherwise he will not be able to take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies last time, and bring Marshal Hong and a team of people back, if anyone learns this martial arts, then the world can go in this life." It's a pity that the inside of our barracks has also been tested by Master Ji one after another, and there is still no one who can enter his eyes. But I heard that at the beginning of last year, Lord Ji selected a suitable apprentice in a small team of the Chinese army battalion, but he didn't know much about this person, a small soldier like him was in an army of hundreds of thousands, and there was nothing outstanding in his daily life. Later, he was taken back to the house by Ji Junshi to practice, but I heard that because he had not read, he may not be able to understand the direction of the meridians. Hearing this, some of the other soldiers next to him said that they had heard it, and a few of them exchanged their heads and began to discuss.

Liu Chengyong glanced at the soldiers with dissatisfaction and said, "Shut up, the above is not allowed to talk about the third division outside." ”

After hearing this, those soldiers quickly shrank their necks one by one and nodded their heads again and again, "yes, yes", and then stopped talking about it.

At this time, another soldier asked strangely: "Liu Tou, why did you care so much about this kid just now, will he have a certain chance to enter Master Ji's door?"

Liu Chengyong showed a little smile on his dark face, and said, "This is not necessarily, I just think that this kid has some opinions, which shows that his brain is not stupid; Chances? Maybe it really is. If I meet such a person again in the future, if I feel that it is okay, I may still say it. Okay, let's continue to be on duty with peace of mind. ”

After hearing this, these soldiers hurriedly stood on duty, but they were all thinking in their hearts, it turned out that they were spreading nets all over.
