"Disaster, how can it be a disaster?" Shi Jin frowned, "Even the Tulang Department is not our opponent, unless we encounter the cavalry of the Rouluo people, I don't believe that there is anyone else in this grassland who can bring disaster to us!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Qiu Yan and said with a smile: "Besides, with the strategy and clever plan of cultivation, even if the Rouluo people come, they may not be able to fight!"

Fu Yong also glanced at Qiu Yan, noticed that the other party's expression remained unchanged, groaned, and said it anyway: "This disaster is not from the grassland, but from the Central Plains. ”

"You mean that the merit is high and the lord is shocked?" Ran Lian came back to his senses at this time, remembering a word he occasionally heard when he was eating wine and listening to books in the tavern.

Fu Yong shook his head and said: "In terms of cultivating today's life, high merit may not shock the master, because the humane Confucianism is the cornerstone rather than a threat to the dynasty, but the Confucian, who is in charge of an army and has the popularity of the army, is another matter." ”

Shi Jin scratched his head and frowned: "This is a bit complicated, it means that we can't follow the revision, otherwise it will be a blessing or a curse?"

"Exactly. After Fu Yong nodded, he didn't say anything more and turned to look at Qiu Yan.

"What kind of thing is this? There are really a lot of Taoism in the Central Plains, if we can't follow the cultivation, why should we go to the Central Plains? We only serve him alone, and besides, if other people say it, they will definitely exclude us!" Shi Jin looked dissatisfied and protested.

The "we" in his mouth did not refer to all the people led by Qiu Yan, but to the grassland faction to which he belonged.

After two months of development, constantly attacking the tribes, Qiu Yan's army became famous, even the grassland warriors had heard of it, came to attach it, and counting the Hu slaves, in a short period of time, this faction has already had a scale of more than 3,000 people. Most of them are young and strong, and with this as the root, it is not difficult to gather people and form a tribe independently.

Listening to the conversation of the crowd, Qiu Yan did not express his position at first, but slowly felt the loss of the entire team, in the more than two months of marching, due to the military situation and the assistance of many factors, there were not many casualties, and most of the wounded could be rescued in time.

But. This time, Dingchunzi suddenly used a spicy hand, exchanging the life of the entire Tulang tribe for the opportunity to destroy Qiu Yan, which directly shattered the karmic luck gathered by the slave army, and under the backlash, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of casualties in the army.

"The number of people lost this time is more than the number of people killed in the previous two months combined. When the result was obtained, Qiu Yan shook his head lightly, and said, "Write down the names of the fallen soldiers." Arrange the bereavement and pension matters, and as for how you will deal with yourself after I return to the Central Plains, there is no need to worry about this. It was already arranged. ”

Hearing Qiu Yan say this, whether it was Ran Lian, Shi Jin, or Fu Yong, they all breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what their attitude was towards this matter. After all, they still care about the place.

"A few days ago, I wrote a letter to Shi Gong of the Governor's Mansion, recommending people with lofty ideals in the army to serve in the army and not be soldiers. It can be described as a soldier commander," he glanced at Ran Lian, and saw a ray of joy in the eyes of this sturdy man, "If you don't want to go to the army, there are other arrangements, the officials are not good, and a Xu official is not a big problem, not to mention, with the assistance of Meng Jishi, it is not difficult to arrange." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone present was even more relieved.

After all, it is not the modern society of Qiu Yan's previous life, the purpose of the people here to join the army and fight is not for doctrine and faith, maybe when the army is raised, there will be some emotional factors and revenge wishes, but after this, it is nothing more than a matter of Qian Mingjue, regardless of the grassland or the Central Plains.

Seeing that there is going to be a result, no one will not care, according to Qiu Yan, many of them will embark on the road of prosperity.

You must know that the officials of this era seem to be ordinary, but their powers are not small, and in some places, they are even more majestic than the officials of the imperial court.

As for those who join the army, the future is equally bright, not to mention Qiu Yan's transcendent status in the soldiers, just counting their achievements in this grassland, it can be regarded as good qualifications, after all, ordinary people in the army, want to be promoted, in addition to relying on connections, popularity and luck, combat merit is a hard indicator, some people do not hesitate to kill good people in order to be promoted, it can be seen that the process inside is indispensable.

The army led by Qiu Yan has made real achievements.

Even if someone wants to take it and snatch it, they can't take it away, and the reason is because of the account of the army, which is the Meng account in Qiu Yan's mouth.

This person was sent by the imperial court to contact each other, and with him a whole team, in normal times, he was responsible for recording the exploits of the war and reporting to the imperial court in time.

After all, after the attack was launched, there was never much victory, and the most anxious were the soldiers and the emperor, at this time, any bit of combat achievements was used to block the attack of political enemies, and it was also the only basis that could be used to maintain the offensive.

However, Qiu Yan already has the aura of a grandmaster, some deeds have spread in the Central Plains, the people seem to have a lot of admirers, and Shilin has gradually gained influence, which is the harbinger of mastering public opinion, and he will be powerful, and he may not be able to grab it.

Looking at everyone's reaction, Qiu Yan paused, and said: "If you don't want to be restrained by the government, you can also receive a piece of money and live a prosperous life. ”

"This is natural, fame and fortune all want to win, that is the lack of people's hearts. Zhang Fei and other illiterate people heard this, their eyes were already glowing with golden light, they were originally farming in the frontier, they were plundered by people, and became slaves, thinking that this life was hopeless, but they didn't expect that because of Qiu Yan's relationship, they would come to work at the same time, how could they not be satisfied?

At this moment, some people felt a little glad when they recalled the people who parted ways under that hill.

"If at that time, like those people, I gave up this opportunity, and after I go back to the Central Plains, I will probably farm for the rest of my life, right?

They didn't know that the biggest gain this time was not money and profit, but the insights in the raindrops.

Of course, there were no longer a few people with similar thoughts, so they couldn't help but talk about it, and the news quickly dispersed, which changed the somewhat solemn atmosphere.

At this time, Shi Jin stepped forward, his expression was a little unnatural, and when Qiu Yan spoke, he talked in a low voice with several people around him, these people were all on the side of the original faction, and what he said was also related to his future.

"Master Xiu," Shi Jin learned from others, arched his hand, but his movements were a little stiff, obviously newly learned, "Your words, we have all listened to them, it is indeed for our sake, isn't it just to have a bite to eat, but we people are used to the grassland, if we also enter the Central Plains, as an officer, Xu official, I am afraid that it will be a little uncomfortable, and among the brothers, many of them can't speak the official language of the Central Plains, so it is inevitable that they will not be adapted." ”

In and out of his words, he was full of worry, which was very different from his usual grinning temperament, which showed that in the past two months, this mixed-race child has not only grown in head, but also changed in his mind.

Qiu Yan naturally understands that Shi Jin's words still have a deep meaning, on the surface it means that the grassland people are not suitable for life in the Central Plains, and the deeper meaning is that they are afraid that after the past, they will stay away from the foundation of the grassland and be helpless.

At this point, anyone will have doubts, Ran Lian, Zhang Fei and others, who were originally from the Central Plains, went back to get promoted and made a fortune, how could they resist, but Shi Jin and they grew up and galloped on the grassland, so they would have concerns. People pay attention to their homeland, not to mention going to other people's territory to seek a living, and the Central Plains and the grassland are now at war, their identity is even more subtle.

"Stone Collar, you don't have to worry about this, Lord Qiu has already made arrangements. ”

Suddenly, a voice came from not far away, a young man in his early twenties, dressed in the official uniform of the Central Plains, with a few pieces of armor tied to the vital places on his body, strode over.

"Meng Jishi ......" The people along the way saluted when they saw him.

This person was Meng Qingluo, who was sent by the imperial court to be responsible for contact and records.

He came to him, saluted Qiu Yan first, and then said to Shi Jin with a smile: "In this matter, I have discussed with Lord Xiu several times, and made up my mind, which is to let Your Excellency lead the people of the grassland to attach to the Central Plains, and not move into the mainland, but set up an account in the frontier as a vassal of the Central Plains. ”

"Set up an account?" Shi Jin's eyelids jumped, although when he discussed with his peers in the faction before, someone had also proposed that the Central Plains was likely to make them vassals, but this act of setting up an account still surprised him a little, this was to let him establish a clan?

Meng Qingluo looked at the other party's reaction, and said with a smile: "Of course, this is just a mention, we have to wait for the imperial court to respond, and I also ask Shiling to calm down, and I also have to ventilate with others in advance." ”

As he spoke, he carefully observed Shi Jin's demeanor and movements, and pondered Qiu Yan's words in his heart, this so-called "account" was actually part of the whole plan.

"This is indeed not a trivial matter, and it needs to be discussed carefully. Shi Jin's eyes showed a look of longing, but he forcibly suppressed his thoughts so as not to make himself appear urgent, but the surging thoughts in his heart still radiated around with the fluctuation of feelings, and with a little cultivation, he could capture it.

After a while, under Qiu An's order, the leader came forward to gather the team, count the battle damage, and then they were about to move, they had been delayed here for a long time, and it was time to leave.

That Meng Qingluo came to Qiu Yan and said respectfully: "This is the matter, please also ask the cultivator to enter the customs from Sanjin, my Meng family will sweep the couch to greet each other, in addition, there are many students who admire the cultivation talent, gathered there and waited, want to listen to the teachings, when the time comes, I hope that the cultivation can lecture for a few days." ”

"Don't rush to say this, there is one more thing to do before the pull-out. Qiu Yan waved his hand and looked into the distance, where the remnants of the Tulang people lived. (To be continued......)
