"As a county commander, this official has the responsibility of commanding in wartime, but he also has the responsibility of appointing the township brave, since Liu Zhuangshi is so mighty, he will be the commander of the battalion, lead you to the township and the township, fight bravely, and defend the country!"

"Lord Gao, I don't know how many soldiers the enemy has? When will it attack?" Liu Meng asked the topic he was most concerned about, and he had summoned Xiang Yong before, only talking about the invasion of the Mongolian cavalry, but did not mention more detailed information such as the number of people, speed, and location.

In fact, this is also what Ling Lingqi wanted to ask, after all, the revenge of the Mongolian cavalry this time was provoked by him, if he hadn't assassinated the Mongolian prince, Mongolia would still want to unite with the Great Song Dynasty to destroy Jin!

Liu Meng wants to live, only by living, can he protect the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, the mother of the village, and take care of the safety of his villagers.

It's just that when Liu Meng asked like this, Master Gao's face turned red, and he coughed lightly a few times but couldn't speak.

Although Liu Meng didn't get an answer, he also understood what was going on, which alarmed the Mongolian cavalry invasion in ten miles and eight townships, and he was afraid that it was just the more than 100 cavalry that they wiped out.

Liu Meng was still a little frightened, there were only more than 100 Mongolian cavalry, which disturbed the neighbors, what if a large force of cavalry went deeper?

Seeing Liu Meng's face become so ugly, even the tall man was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what was in his mouth, and finally retreated, as a parent official, maybe he didn't have the face to meet these enthusiastic villagers.

The Song people knew that they were honest, otherwise they would not have starved Cai Jing to death on the road with a boatload of treasures.

Liu Meng's face changed, and he finally took a big step forward and called out to the tall man, who was already walking back, couldn't help but stop again and turned his head to look at Liu Meng.

"At the beginning of the next year, I was appointed by the lord to command the village bravery, but I intend to go to the front line to join the army, please ask for your permission!" Liu Meng hugged the knife and saluted, and said loudly.

"Go, go, if it weren't for the official who was responsible for the official order and the people of the county, he would have gone to the front line to be a soldier to kill the enemy, and if you want to go, you will go, and the official will carry a number of guns and knives, and you can go to the arsenal to get a few longbows, and take all the bows and arrows, and the good horses that are captured in time can also ride a horse!" the tall man waved his hand and sighed long.

"Thank you, Lord Gao!" Liu Meng couldn't help but show joy on his face, and thanked him from afar, if he was brave enough to join the army, with soldiers and armor, plus a horse, the general on duty would also have to take a few more looks, and he could make a good start.

Ling Lingqi asked, "Liu Dutou, do you want to join the official army?"

Liu Meng said: "Yes, only the official army can kill the enemy for the country!"

Ling Lingqi shook his head and said, "Then don't you want to join the Yue family's army?" Although they are not official soldiers, they are more elite than the official army. ”

Liu Meng smiled bitterly: "I think so, but the Yue family army is not something that we can enter." ”

Ling Lingqi smiled and said: "If you want to enter, I can help you say it, General Yue Peng and I are brothers, and today I see that you also have courage and blood, so I hope we can fight the enemy together, just like today!"

Liu Meng said excitedly: "Is this really the case? Of course I am willing! Brothers, if you are willing to follow me to join the Yue family's army, come with me!"

"Brother Meng, if you leave, what will your mother do?" asked a villager in a low voice, and several fellow villagers couldn't help but worry.

"Let's ask the villagers to take care of it more. Liu Meng said helplessly, he now understands the difficulty of not being able to take care of the family and the country, the mother here has raised him for more than 20 years and takes care of him meticulously, but he wants to leave her.

"Alas, we're getting older, and our bones are no longer good, and we're a little injured, we can't compare with you boys, Liu Meng, if you want to go, I'll go if you want to, my old Yao has a breath, and I can't starve your mother!" Lao Yao, who was stabbed in the leg, limped up from behind, when he said this, he was still a little blushing, and his fellow villagers knew that the idea of this old Yao beating Liu Meng's mother Sun was not a day or two, almost ten years, but Sun's temperament was stronger, Lao Yao never pleased, the folk atmosphere of the Song Dynasty was not as rigid as the Ming and Qing dynasties, although the woman was widowed for decades, the government would give a chaste archway to show respect, but it was only respect, the woman's husband died and remarried, it is not a shameful thing, especially in the Song Dynasty today, the population has decreased sharply today, the government even encourages women to remarry, increase the population, the Great Song Dynasty is much more serious about the census than it is in China now.

Liu Meng glanced back at Lao Yao, although Lao Yao blushed, but looked at Liu Meng, Liu Meng nodded, untied the head on his waist and threw it on the ground, rolled out more than a dozen steps away, and the rest of the people also took off the head and threw it away.

Of course, there are more than 700 Xiangyong, and only a few are willing to follow Liu Meng to join the army, after all, they still have to live and take care of their families, even so, there are nearly 100 people who responded to Liu Meng, on the one hand, they felt that it was too hard to invest in the Yue family's army to kill the Tartars, and on the other hand, they also saw that a master like Ling Lingqi was there, so they wanted to follow him, maybe they could learn a trick and a half, and they could also make a merit in the future.

Liu Meng led the order of the tall man, strode towards the arsenal, he did not greet the villagers behind him who initially agreed with him, going to the front line, it means that the chance of death is infinitely increased, Liu Meng still has a trace of fantasy, maybe this is just a dream, perhaps, this is just a test of God, he is not afraid of death, but he can't take the initiative to call those villagers to accompany him to die.

Ling Lingqi also followed Liu Meng to the arsenal, and he was also very curious about what weapons the arsenal in this small county town had.

"Mother, we are also men with eggs, we have to go, why can't we go!" A villager threw the long knife with the blade rolled in his hand and strode to follow, this person moved, and dozens of villagers from their own township and other towns stood up and strode to follow, and finally gathered exactly a hundred people and arrived at the arsenal together.

The news that Xiang Yong came with Meng Yuan's head has already spread in the small county town, Liu Meng and other twenty people came to the arsenal with a body of blood, and several old soldiers guarding the arsenal also pointed at them vigorously, without saying a word, opened the arsenal, and let them go in to choose weapons and equipment freely, heroes, no matter when they are respected.

At this time, the county commander Gao also returned to the yamen and brought the news of Ling Lingqi to Yue Peng, although Yue Peng led a righteous army and had nothing to do with the imperial court, but this righteous army was in Henan and Hebei, which was very famous, and many officials also received the favor of Yue's army.
