Mingwu Empire, Zhengyang five years, summer solstice.

The solstice of the day is long, the shadow of the sun is short, and the solstice is the extreme, so it is called the summer solstice.

Even if the land is in the bitter cold of the northwest border, it is beautiful in this world.

Of course, what really reassures the people is not that the weather is warmer and the land can start to be cultivated, but that the desert tribes in Shuiyun County have been cleaned up.

At the same time, the refugees gathered outside Tongquan Mansion have also been properly resettled, although the material resources of Tongquan Mansion cannot make these people in distress fed and clothed, but at least there is no need to worry about being killed by desert barbarian soldiers, let alone starving to death.

Every morning and afternoon, the county guard will open the porridge shed under the organization of Meng Feihang, and the security in the city is also supported by Zhang Xiangjie and Zuo Jinkai, and it is also in order.

On the day of the summer solstice, both the people in the city and the refugees gathered inside and outside Tongquan Mansion left the city early, jumping to the west one by one to watch.

The hero is about to go home......

The hero of the bitter cold of the northwest is about to go home......

The people spontaneously formed a procession to greet them, just to see the heroes with their own eyes, and they waited from early morning until noon.

It wasn't until the sun was gradually setting in the west that the iron cavalry they had been waiting for for a long time appeared on the official road.

1,500 horsemen entered the city in an orderly manner, and Chu Yujia, Yang Renqi, Qi Zhong and other generals walked in the forefront.

These three people are not very old, although after this battle, there are inevitably some traces of wind and frost on their faces, but they are still heroic, and some big girls and little daughters-in-law only put purses and flowers or something, and keep greeting them.

Qi Zhong is alone, but he has been practicing martial arts in the village all these years, when has he ever seen this kind of battle?

When he saw the big girl and the little daughter-in-law flocking to him, he didn't dare to look elsewhere, but only at the reins of his war horse.

Seeing this scene, those big girls and little daughters-in-law found this person even more interesting, and they couldn't help but make a few teasers when he passed by.

And Chu Yujia has already experienced this, after returning to the capital after winning the battle of Qi Ye before, he was entangled by the boudoir girls in Yueling, even after he lived in charge at night, someone outside the window would call Brother Yujia softly from time to time......

Yang Renqi didn't care, and happily accepted a few purses, but he caught a glimpse of his housekeeper's blazing eyes in the crowd, and he was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and he was busy stuffing the purse or something to the deputy general next to him.

Seeing this, Chu Yujia couldn't help but chuckle, he still remembered that Yang Renqi's family also had a little girl, who was two years younger than Yao'er, but he could also see that it was also a rare beauty embryo, after all, according to her mother's appearance, this girl was not bad.

Wang Ting's will had already been handed down, and Chu Yujia was appointed as the county guard of Shuiyun County, and at the same time succeeded Yang Renqi as the commander of the Northwest Army, and Yang Renqi was demoted to his deputy general.

To a certain extent, the current Shuiyun County is already in Chu Yujia's hands, and he also came to the place where his father had struggled for more than ten years when he was twenty-six years old.

This time, Chu Yujia led his troops out of Humaguan to attack the desert tribes, which has achieved results to a certain extent.

Not to mention the destruction of three tribes in the desert steppe, but also in the following battle, almost all the 20,000 desert light horsemen who pursued it, although the immediate combat power on the grassland is large, but it can not withstand such a big loss, according to the current situation, they will definitely have to stop for a while.

And Shuiyun County, which has just experienced the war, has now entered the post-war reconstruction period, and many things have to be dealt with, and Meng Feihang alone will definitely not be able to do it alone.

But when dealing with government affairs, Chu Yujia also found a person, and that was Rong Mingzhi.

Rong Mingzhi served as a gentleman in Humaguan's school, although he had not worked hard in the officialdom, but at least he had a belly of knowledge.

And just because he once controlled those veterans of the Northwest Army in the poplar forest in an orderly manner, it is not difficult to see that he still has some management talents.

Therefore, Chu Yujia did not hesitate to appoint him as the chief secretary of Shuiyun County, and was in charge of internal affairs together with Meng Feihang.

Of course, Rong Mingzhi did not disappoint Chu Yujia, and showed his absolute talent in handling internal affairs, especially in managing finances.

After handling the government affairs, it is to rectify the military affairs, and now whether it is the new Northwest Army or the old Northwest Army, they are all collectively referred to as the Northwest Army, and they are officially in the hands of Chu Yujia.

Today's Northwest Army, but the number of war soldiers has reached more than 35,000, including more than 15,000 cavalry, and more than 5,000 of the 20,000 foot soldiers can serve as cavalry, but now there is no suitable war horse, otherwise it is easy to form a cavalry army with more than 20,000 people.

These 35,000 people were all disrupted, the cavalry and foot soldiers were mixed and matched, and they were divided into four parts by Chu Yujia, in the name of chasing the wind for thousands of miles and flying snow, and set up the wind chasing battalion, the Qianli battalion, the flying snow battalion, and the Liantian battalion, which were respectively led by Zhuang Jiade, Yang Renqi, Yan Tianrui, and Chu Haojie, the four veterans of the Northwest Army.

Originally, at the beginning of the establishment of the Black Guard Battalion, Chu Yujia planned to make this team completely filled by martial artists recruited from the rivers and lakes and the best in the army, and the number was only set at five hundred.

In itself, Chu Yujia was influenced by Chu Qianwen, and he had a unique view of the scout troops in the cavalry battle, and after this battle, the profits brought by the Black Guard Battalion were even more in front of him.

Chu Yujia immediately changed this policy, and did not relax the requirements, but increased the demand, expanding the number of people in the Black Guard Battalion from the original five hundred to three thousand at once, and the remaining two thousand five hundred, Chu Yujia also gave Qi Zhong enough authority to choose by himself.

As for the last, it is the intelligence camp that is as important as the scout troops, and the name of this camp is the feather me battalion.

The Yumu Camp was temporarily handed over to Xu Gaoda by Chu Yujia, after all, he was in charge of this matter from the beginning, and the effect was not bad, and it could bring unexpected surprises to Chu Yujia in many cases.

As for the end, Chu Yujia directly released these teams, and also gave these commanders a clear order, in the next month, no matter where they took these people, as long as they didn't go to the capital to rebel, they could do anything.

This is to show his attitude, he has not given up on targeting the tribes in the desert, but he is now going to start handling government affairs in the county, and it is inconvenient to personally lead the troops to attack, so let them go to the commanders immediately.

These people are also old fritters in the army, especially after working with Chu Qianwen for so long, of course, they can understand what Chu Yujia means.

So on the second day, Zhuang Jiade's Chasing Wind Camp, Yang Renqi's Qianli Camp, Yan Tianrui's Feixue Camp, and Chu Haojie's Liantian Camp, a total of 35,000 people went to Huma Pass in the northwest together, and soon left the desert west and entered the territory of the desert tribe.

And then, Chu Yujia began a drastic recruitment.

Because of the previous war, coupled with the prestige of the Northwest Army here, the recruitment progress is also very smooth, in addition to many young and middle-aged people in the county who sign up to join the army every day, there are also many veterans who have quit the Northwest Army from the new return to the army.

When everything was on the right track, an unexpected person suddenly came to Shuiyun County.

Shi Laoba......

Shi Laoba was born in the rivers and lakes recklessly, and even did things in the early years, and later met Zhao Kuan, who traveled through the rivers and mountains of Yeguo, so he attached himself to Zhao Kuan's door and made him an errand doorman.

Chu Yujia had also heard Zhao Kuan mention this person, so after meeting, he didn't have too much politeness.

After taking a seat, Chu Yujia sent all the people in the room out, then sat on the main seat, slowly picked up the teacup, and asked straight to the point: "But the eldest son has something for you to tell me?"

He knew that Shi Laoba must have come with news from Zhao Kuan.

Shi Laoba nodded and said, "General Chu, the villain came this time, and he did bring the news of the eldest son. ”

"Oh?"

Chu Yujia put down the teacup, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shi Laoba looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one, he whispered: "The eldest son said, that old guy, I can't help it." ”

Hearing this, Chu Yujia's heart suddenly burst into shock, and he forced the shock in his heart, and asked, "What you said, but is it true?"

"The villain didn't dare to deceive the general, this was indeed said by the eldest son. ”

Shi Laoba opened his mouth and said: "After the eldest son instructed the villain, the villain immediately came to Shuiyun County, and asked the general to make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm...... I know. ”

Chu Yujia rubbed his chin, and finally burst out laughing, and said, "This old guy, I really can't help it, but I didn't expect him to be so breathless." ”

After the words fell, Chu Yujia stood up and said, "If you are not in a hurry to go back to recover your life, I still have something to help you with." ”

"The general has something he wants to explain to the villain, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Shi Laoba also stood up, in front of Chu Yujia, he looked extremely deferential, and said, "It is the honor of the villain to be able to do things for the general." ”

"Then thank you, Brother Shi. ”

After speaking, Chu Yujia walked to the back hall, and when he came out, there was already an extra letter in his hand.

Chu Yujia handed the letter to Shi Laoba and said, "When you go back, go to the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect in the flooded lake for me, and when you arrive in the village, you will say that I asked you to go, and then be sure to hand over this letter to the hands of the Great Elder of the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect." ”

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yujia untied the money bag on his waist and handed it to Shi Laoba, saying, "Take this silver and buy a few fast horses, this matter is urgent, it must be fast." ”

After taking the letter and carefully placing it in his arms, Shi Laoba arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, General, Shuiman Lake is not far from here, I will definitely be able to arrive in three or two days at most." ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. ”

Watching Shi Laoba walk out of the county guard's mansion, Chu Yujia's eyes were deep, and finally smiled on his back, and his eyes became cold: "Old thing, I still can't help it, then this time, I will send you to Huangquan ......"
