On the way back, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the people from the palace were in a hurry, so the team separated, and Li Jinglan took the disciples of the academy to stay in Hengshan for one more day before setting off.

September is the harvest season, in the vast fields of the north, the golden ears of grain, red sorghum, and the sky is high and the clouds are very compatible, Li Jinglan and Lin Rang, who have lived in the north for ten years, walked on the post road, Introduce him to the customs and customs of Saibei, at the beginning and end of the words, Lin Rang really felt that this little master was not the kind of eunuch who did not touch the spring water with his hands, not only was he familiar with crops, geology and soil, but also the distribution of troops in the mountains and plains on the border of Yunzhou and Youzhou, the structure of the troops and the attack and defense of Qincang who would fight sooner or later, this young man had his own opinions, Lin Rang called all the disciples over on a whim, and made a big sand table in the wilderness, divided into two teams, offensive and defensive, and conducted a battle.

The two sides worked hard, nearly six hours of attack and defense finally ended with a narrow victory in Daqin, a group of scholars were tired, but they were particularly excited, Lin Rang struck while the iron was hot, the next day the attack and defense were exchanged, and the battle was fought until the dawn of the third day, but both were defeated, the grain and grass in Cangguo were not enough, and they were forced to retreat, and the two states of Youyun were almost white, and it was difficult to recover without more than ten years of recuperation.

A group of people waited, their faces were like dirt, and frustration spread through the ranks. Lin Rang looked at Li Jinglan, who had been watching intently from the periphery but did not say a word, with a strange smile on his face, and after settling the disciples, he carried a pot of local specialty Yanmenchun and found the little master who was meditating by the carriage.

"Master seems to have a different opinion on the sand table debate?" Lin Rang picked up the silver kettle, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Li Jinglan.

"I don't have any opinion, I just think that Lin Jiaoxi is unique, the teacher said that today's readers have some empty talk about misleading the country, Lin Jiaoxi's thoughts, but I admire it very much. Li Jinglan smiled sincerely.

"What does the master think of this deduction?"

"I remember that the teacher said a sentence called reading 10,000 books, traveling 10,000 miles, and knowing 10,000 kinds of people, but I didn't understand it at the time, but then for various reasons, I stopped and walked a lot of roads, and I just understood a little, so, believe it or not, I have a feeling that maybe I won't see the Master in this life, or maybe we can meet the Master in a small village not far ahead. ”

Lin Rang was confused.

"Lin Jiaoxi, to tell the truth, I have been riding horses on this land for more than two years, whether it is the regiment rate, the commander, or the soldiers, when I stand at the head of the city patrol, looking at the vast plains outside the pass, I will have a heroic feeling, how to be afraid of the barbarism! This is the feeling of most of the Great Qin soldiers, so at that time, I was not afraid of death, I was only afraid of not dying, I was only afraid of being disabled, and I was afraid that I would not be able to charge into battle again in this life, and I could not defend the peace of my Great Qin. Li Jinglan raised his head and poured a whole glass of wine into his mouth, and motioned for Lin Rang to have another glass.

"After that, I stayed for half a year in a small town called Huai'an Town, where I picked up this little girl. Li Jinglan pointed to the red-clothed girl in the distance who was holding her little bald head and scattering joy in the field.

"At that time, she would wake up crying every night, and she would kick the quilt into strips of cloth, and at first I didn't understand, but then I guessed from her dreams that she was running away! She kept running, but there was no safe place in the war, so she ran like that, so I started to ask myself, what would I do if my father died? If I died, what would my father do? Lin Jiaoxi, I'm not afraid of your jokes, that night, I also cried and woke up the little girl, and then the two of them cried on their heads, so from that moment on, I really understood my father's feelings, if one day a bastard dares to fight Xiaohuan's idea, Lao Tzu will also raze his ten clans. At that time, I didn't want to die, or I didn't want to die so easily. The second glass of wine was swallowed in large gulps.

"When I arrived in the capital, the master left, the prince picked up, and threw a big burden to me a young man whose milk hair had not faded clean, to be honest, I was really forced to calm down at the gate of the academy, and I almost made a fool of myself on the spot when I was holding my urine, but it was standing tall, and the things I saw were not the same. A war of thousands of miles on the red ground, for you and me, for the scholars of the academy, I shudder when I think about it, but what about Daqin? Liaodong has been practicing cavalry warfare for six years, and how much effort has it taken to win over Duoyan Sanwei today? Just for the sake of attachment and overjoyed? No, this is a big game of chess, in the words of our martial arts, this is an exchange of injuries for lives! Nowadays, he does not hesitate to use foot soldiers against cavalry, use Youyun Erzhou or even Merge Prefecture to cripple, drag Cangqi to death, and at the cost of 500 miles of white land in the north, exchange the iron cavalry of Cangguo for the best in the world, and then pursue it with its tail, go straight to Langxu Mountain, and use the elite iron cavalry of Liaodong and the recuperation of Duoyan Sanwei to determine the world. I have to say that today's saint is majestic and magnificent!" Li Jinglan drank a full cup and sighed. Lin Rang heard the shocking handwriting for the first time, a silver kettle slipped from his hand in a trance, Li Jinglan quickly grabbed it, and Lin Rang came back to his senses with a wry smile.

Youyun Erzhou has a population of 940,000, and the state has another 370,000, adding up to 1.3 million people, just to lengthen the battle line, to consume the spirit of millions of iron horsemen with living force, and to pay attention to the ashes of Dingqiao, this is only Daqin, Cangguo is under one high city, under the 100,000 Kwantung iron hooves driving straight into 3,000 miles, how many lives are in misery? Lin Rang didn't dare to think about it, what are the defeated soldiers on the sand table, what is the white land in Youyun Erzhou, the real killing is not a land of thousands of miles, but thousands of miles and thousands of miles, thousands of miles and thousands of miles, and three thousand miles of blood.

The so-called great change on the eve of the snowstorm was not to delay the footsteps of the iron cavalry of Cangguo, but to allow Cangguo to accumulate its anger to the top, and it had to fight a bloody battle and devote all its strength to fight this battle, so as to fall into a big trap and sprinkle bait to catch golden turtles.

This matter is not known to the Great Qin Border Army in a corner, Wu Yong, who is loyal to the country, and the generals of Yunzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou may not know, but Li Yundao undoubtedly knows, so he has a way to die. That's why there is a great top secret that is announced to the world for no reason, so the heroes of Daqin have a country that is difficult to return to and a family to return to.

Standing in the perspective of the Son of Heaven, he is commanding the four seas and is proud of the world, and the whole world is not the king's land and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, this is the mind and wish of every emperor; and under the emperor, hehe, there is no need for the emperor to have any thoughts. You just need to carry out the emperor's mind.

For a long time, people only need to obey, and they are used to obedience, but now the fat man feels that this is not fair, and the old dean feels that this is not right, and Li Jinglan feels that there is nothing wrong with the emperor doing this in the overall situation. So the question went back to the original point, and he remembered what the "monk who carried water" said: What should we do if we slaughter one person and save a hundred people? What should we do if we slaughter a hundred people and save ten thousand people? What should we do if we slaughter ten thousand people and save a million people?

Li Jinglan couldn't make a choice, so he asked rhetorically: If you are a master, what should you do?

Huijue's unparalleled "water-carrying monk" sighed: Although the Buddha is big, he may not be as good as a general to save the country. Your father and son are of great merit. Let's look at the Ming Dynasty, and look at the Ming Dynasty.

The next morning, I saw Lin Rang, who had always paid attention to appearance, with deep sunken eyes and a haggard face, and it was estimated that he had not slept all night. Li Jinglan didn't know how to persuade him, the two of them were relatively speechless, and at the same time looked back at the hundreds of miles of rivers and mountains behind them, staring for a long time.

The disciples went to ask for a doctor, saying that it was a fire attack, and suffered from the wind and cold, and opened the cinnamon branch soup plus or minus, and there was a decoction to calm the liver and relieve the fire, and it took two days before the complexion gradually eased. On this day, Li Jinglan was talking to Lin Rang in the inn, when suddenly a disciple stumbled in and said in a panic: "Master, it's not good, a few junior brothers have caused trouble in the restaurant and are surrounded by officers and soldiers, begging Master to go and save people quickly." ”

Lin Rang was shocked and was about to get up, Li Jinglan held it down and said, "Lin Jiaoxi doesn't have to be like this, I'll go and see, I'm more familiar than you in the north." "Call the guy to come and take care of it, call the little monk and Pei Xiaohuan into the house, take the horizontal knife and wrap it in a cloth in his hand, and walk out of the inn.

On the road, the scholar named Xu Jing told the cause and effect again, it turned out that a few brothers were eating wine in the restaurant, there were grandparents and grandchildren singing in the restaurant, a few scholars listened to the girl who sang and played a good song, and saw that her grandson was in distress, so he made up a few taels of silver to reward, and met a table of gentlemen, and the words were sarcastic about the shabby scholars, this was originally nothing, the disciples of the academy had their own bearing, and there was no conflict, but just when the grandchildren were about to catch up with the next field and prepare to leave, these generals were also drunk, and threw down a hundred taels of silver tickets to continue listening, and the grandfather was an old Jianghu who knew that he couldn't afford to provoke, so he pulled his granddaughter back, But the granddaughter is a stubborn character, give up a hundred taels of silver, but also want to leave, annoyed one of them, flew up the porcelain bowl in his hand and smashed the forehead of the singing girl, this time a few hot-blooded scholars couldn't help it, there was a dispute, the disciples of the sect are aggressive by nature, where to reason with them, then lift the table and pick the bench to kill the general, the academy disciples are not only weak scholars, among which Gu Bainian, Gao Xiaoou is a child of the Hanzhong Wang family, the family martial arts has already reached the realm of the little grandmaster, and the brothers do not draw their swords but the scabbard is smashed left and right, and a few drunkards are knocked over。 But there were already servants who slipped out, and a team of officers and soldiers was transferred to surround the restaurant, and the scholars were originally reasonable, so they were naturally not afraid, who would have thought that this class of officers and soldiers was born as a serious soldier, and they were not reasonable at all.

Li Jinglan knew the reason, and he already had a plan in his heart.

Not a few streets, I saw a three-story small building, looking at a gilded plaque with the book "Yanxiang Building" in the distance, and more than 100 soldiers on the street downstairs surrounded it on all sides, swords and guns came out together, and the murderous atmosphere was vigorous.

Li Jinglan swept the long knife in his hand, stepped forward, and a soldier had already stopped him with a spear, but he was thrown over by an iron card, and the soldier didn't care about the blood on his face, and he was about to have a seizure, Li Jinglan's body did not move, and the corners of his mouth skimmed: "It's better to pick up the brand first!"

The soldier's spear pointed at Li Jinglan, and when he looked at his feet, the academy disciple who reported the news was about to block in front of Li Jinglan, and was pulled behind him by Li Jinglan with the "long package" in his hand.

This brand is familiar, isn't it the military card of the red and purple Xuanjia rider in the border soldiers, pick it up and take a look, it is still the regimental rate, and the soldier's face has changed.

The status of this army is also divided into military branches, for example, the soldiers look down on the state soldiers, and the border soldiers look down on the soldiers, but they admire the elite crossbowmen among the border soldiers to the ground, and there is a class of troops called Xuanjia cavalry in the north, 3,000 Xuanjia cavalry in 100,000 border soldiers, 50,000 soldiers and 30,000 state soldiers account for less than one-fiftieth, but 500 soldiers really may not be able to pick out a Xuanjia cavalry, Xuanjia cavalry requirements are extremely high, not only martial arts, but also equestrianism, bows, crossbows, weights, all reach an eye-popping level, in addition to an important indicator of Xuanjia cavalry is not hesitating to die, Xuanjia cavalry has ten chops, those who are not in line with the queue are chopped, those who are not in line with the head of the horse are chopped, and those who turn back immediately are chopped, the spear is broken and the one who does not abandon is beheaded, and the horse is dead and the retreat is cut ....... three

Thousands of iron armor is almost between heavy and light horses, weapons and armor are standard, crossbows, crossbows, horizontal knives and spears, one person and two horses, are first-class horses. When rushing into battle, they often think that one is ten, and the 180,000 soldiers in the three states are all proud to be able to enter the Xuanjia cavalry to select soldiers. Not to mention becoming a real Xuanjia cavalry.

After all, since the Xuanjia Cavalry erected the flag for twenty-three years, I have heard that the whole army is dead, and I have never heard of those who were stabbed in the back, that is, the remaining two, and they were also killed in back-to-back battles, and the love of the robe was the most Xuanhe.

The regimental rate in the Xuanjia cavalry, when it comes to the border soldiers, the lowest is also a partial general, and the team without 3,000 soldiers can't take it at all, as for the state soldiers, hehe, the cripples of the Xuanjia cavalry are not willing to lead the state soldiers, and they can't afford to lose that person!

The soldiers who blocked the way did not wipe the blood on their faces, their bodies stood straight and stood on the ground, their right fists clenched and slammed their left chests, and gave a military salute.

"Please!"

The highest trust and reverence among military personnel!
