(Thanks to Fengyumei for her reward, she is so powerful.)

"Oh, are you Yan Yun who killed the Korean soldiers and snatched back the body of General Mai on the bank of the Liao River?"

Xin Shixiong's exaggerated expression and exaggerated tone were very clear. He took two steps and held Li Xian's hand and said, "That day, you were killed on the east bank of Liaoshui. I wanted to take Zuotun Guards to help you. However, without the order of the king, even I, the general of Zuotun Guard, would not dare to lead the army to move. Last night, Your Majesty told me that you were coming to my Zuotun Guard. I was so happy that I had never sleeped all night. If it weren't for the promotion of the tent today, I would have personally picked you up at the camp gate."

He cited the words "General Zuo Tun Guard" very seriously, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was now the head of Zuo Tun Guard.

Yu Wenshi said in his heart: You will be so happy that you have never been asleep for a night, but I am afraid that your heart is so upset that you can't fall asleep for a night.

Li Xian hurriedly replied, "General is so polite. It is a shame for you to not visit the general first."

Yu Wen Ji was stunned and thought to himself that this kid would also say a few hypocritical and polite words. He looked at Li Xian and saw the latter quietly giving him a look. What does that mean? It's okay to pretend. Yu Wen Ji smiled knowingly and said, "What, the general is not going to invite me in and sit?"

Xin Shixiong laughed and said, "The prince consort is so stingy. When will the Zuotun Guard camp be opened to the prince consort?"

He turned sideways and made an invitation gesture. Yu Wenshi and said a few words of politeness and then walked in first. Although he was much lower than Xin Shixiong in terms of official position, he married Princess Nanyang as his son-in-law and had a title of county duke. Xin Shixiong was far from him when he tried this. Xin Shixiong had been climbing in the army for so many years, and now he is just a marquis.

But a high title does not mean a high official position. Li Yuan, who was the Duke of Tang, had not been a small official in Huaiyuan Town as a fifth-rank grain protection commander. Because of his contribution to protecting grain, Yang Guang promoted his official position to the fourth-rank. With the Duke of Tang, he had to speak politely even when he saw a general, and it is unknown how much depression Li Yuan felt in his heart.

Li Xian walked at the end, and the three of them entered the tent and took a seat. Xin Shixiong was polite, and Li Xian sat down at the end.

Xin Shixiong looked at Li Xian and praised: "It turns out that he is a young man. He dared to fight with the Koreans with more than a dozen riders on the bank of the Liao River that day. The young man is indeed extraordinary. If he can win his majesty's favor, he will have a bright future."

Li Xian quickly said politely: "I was just lucky. I took more than a dozen family children who were good at martial arts across the river. My original intention was to catch up with the army to serve the country. Who would have happened to encounter a Korean man who blasphemed the body of Mr. Mai. He was angry for a moment and rushed up."

Xin Shixiong said: "You can't say that. Even if you are a little reckless, who dares to face the tens of thousands of Goguryeo's army with more than a dozen cavalry?"

Li Xian repeatedly refused to accept Xin Shixiong's praise. Xin Shixiong's impression of this young man was not a polite wild boy, but his impression of him changed a little. Yu Wenshi and sat on the side and nodded slightly, chuckling slightly, thinking that this boy was not really stupid, and he could learn well after a few words. I think his family was not a small wealthy family, and maybe he was one of the best prominent families in the place. However, Yu Wenshi and scorching his heart did not remember, the Yan family on the north was more famous. He didn't care, but he didn't think about it, but it was nothing. The territory of the Great Sui Dynasty was vast and almost boundless, so how could he know all the wealthy families in one city and one county?

The business of the Great Sui Dynasty was developed. Although the social status of merchants was far inferior to that of farmers, there were many people who became giants by hard work and mind. Although these people could not enter the house, they were even rich, but they were not allowed to wear brocade clothes. However, the wealth they had in their hands was amazing. For example, Yu Wenshi and the Xu family in Dongjun Weinan, who knew, had never been a official in the family, but they were rich, and they were actually a family that should not be underestimated. Thinking of this, Yu Wenshi and the great merchants also thought that although the social status of merchants and giants was not high, they had enough wealth. If the court could pay attention to them appropriately, it might be a good thing for the court.

"Why is the prince consort interested in visiting me today?"

Xin Shixiong asked Yu Wenshu and Taoism.

Yu Wenshi, who was thinking, was in a daze and thought to himself how he was gone. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty has assigned me an errand to coordinate the preparation of the food, grass and supplies needed for the army to go to the expedition. He originally planned to go to the baggage camp to check it out, but it happened to pass here, so he asked the general how much he needed."

Xin Shixiong's eyes changed, and he looked at Li Xian, thinking that this young man and the Yuwen family were old acquaintances? Otherwise, how could Mr. Yuwen and this guy who was above the top talked to him for so long and then entered my Zuotun Guard together? He listened to his words, he was in charge of food, supplies, and was it because he used this to signal to me that if he could properly place this boy named Yan, he would open the door of convenience? He subconsciously glanced at Chen Qi standing behind him again, and the latter nodded quietly to him.

Xin Shixiong immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work in the prince consort."

Yu Wenshi said: "Since I have taken this job, I am naturally afraid to slack off, and it is not difficult to say that I have to work hard. It's just that the baggage that the army needs to carry on the expedition is too large and complicated, which is a headache."

Xin Shixiong pondered for a while and said tentatively: "Since the prince consort is here to ask, I will just say it directly. This time, it was calculated that each soldier would carry three stones of food. The burden was too heavy. The seven things he had to carry three stones of food alone. It was inconvenient to marching and rushing... After crossing the river, my Zuo Tun Guard lost a lot of horses. Can the prince consort... take care of it more?"

The equipment of the government soldiers, except for heavy weapons and war horses, basically all other things are owned. The seven things that Xin Shixiong mentioned are the things that the government soldiers and soldiers should carry with them, such as clothing, quilts, supplies, bows, arrows, saddles, and weapons. This does not include food. According to the military system of the Great Sui Dynasty, the government soldiers were equipped with 500 horses for every two thousand people, and the four people used one carries the baggage, which could barely be shared. However, the individual soldiers carried too much food and grass this time. If the horses carrying the baggage were not enough, it would be difficult to march.

Yu Wenshi nodded without comment, and suddenly turned to ask Li Xian and said, "Anzhi, where are your seventeen subordinates? Why don't you come into the camp together?"

Li Xian said: "There are still some trivial matters that they have to solve. After I go back today, I will come to see the general tomorrow morning."

The next sentence he said to Xin Shixiong.

Xin Shixiong sneered in his heart. From Yu Wenshi and his cold appearance, he could guess that this boy named Yan was indeed involved with the Yu Wen family! Look, even Yu Wenshi and he came to ask him for an official position! Since that's the case, why don't you just take Zuo Wei?

Yu Wenshi first gave Xin Shixiong a temptation and told him that all the food, grass and supplies were under his jurisdiction. When Xin Shixiong had something to ask for him, he changed the topic. Xin Shixiong was not a fool, naturally understood what he meant.

"Xuanmo, what are the real shortcomings in the army? Although Anzhi is the first to come, he is highly valued by His Majesty and should not be careless."

Chen Qi, who was standing behind him, pretended to find the roster and looked at it, then said with some embarrassment: "The lieutenants of each regiment are full, only... but the lieutenant Cui Qing, who was escorting the baggage in the back team, died in battle when crossing the river, and the position is still empty."

snort!

Yu Wenshi snorted coldly in his heart, thinking that your lie is too fake. When crossing the river, one of the lieutenants of the various regiments was not dead, but the lieutenants who were escorting food and supplies in the back team died in battle? But he was not in a hurry, just lowered his head to taste tea, with a happy expression on his face, and the ancient well was not bored.

Xin Shixiong looked at Li Xian in embarrassment and said, "An Zhi... You see, I really can't arrange it... The lieutenant who escorted the baggage in the back team is also a sixth-rank official, and..."

He glanced at Yu Wenshi and saw that the other party's originally calm face showed vague displeasure. He gritted his teeth and changed his mouth: "I think so, I will transfer another lieutenant to the back team to escort the baggage, and let An Zhi fill it up if the free space comes out."

Just as Yu Wenshi smiled, Li Xian suddenly bowed and said, "No need!"

He stood up and said, "I'm here for the first time, how can I let the general be favored for the purpose of resettling me? If you say it, the general will find it difficult to convince the public. I have no face when I meet in the robes. Just carry the food and grass, and Yan will definitely live up to the general's high hopes."

The sincerity he said made Xin Shixiong, Yu Wenshi and Chen Qi all stupid.

Idiot!

Yu Wenshi cursed fiercely in his heart.

He stood up and said to Xin Shixiong: "Since the general wants to arrange military affairs, I will not stay for a long time. So I have to go to the baggage camp to check it out and say goodbye."

Seeing that his face was unhappy, Xin Shixiong quickly gave Chen Qi a look. Chen Qi pretended to look through the roster carefully, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Yes, Lu Jia, the captain of Guoyi of the B-Benz, Guoyi, has not healed. Now the position of the regiment commander is temporarily replaced by the brigade leader Hao Datong, because there is no free time, I didn't look carefully just now."

In order to get more horses, Xin Shixiong lost his man.

But it was already this time, he had to lower his face and said, "Since that's the case, how about you feel wronged in the B-Benz Group C?"

While he said, he advised himself in his heart, "It's just that, for the sake of Zuo Tun Guard, I will go against my will. If I could get more war horses and horses from Yu Wenshi and his hands, it would be much more affordable to gather the morale of the Zuo Tun Guard soldiers than to offend Yan Yun. He was in charge of military power and always wanted to win over the morale of the military. The temptation Yu Wenshi and the previous ones were indeed what he needed urgently, so he had to give up the idea of ​​giving Li Xian a warning.

Who would have thought that Li Xian was not grateful? He looked at Xin Shixiong and said seriously: "It is difficult to convince the public if he has not made any contributions. Yan thanked the general for his promotion. I should... just stay in the back team."

Yu Wenshi was really angry this time. He clasped his fists at Xin Shixiong and said, "How many horses are missing in the general? Just let people report to me according to the number of people. I will make up for the general and say goodbye."

He turned pale in anger and turned around and walked out of the tent.

Li Xian sued Xin Shixiong and chased him from behind.

"Sir and brother!"

Li Xian shouted from behind.

"Captain Yan, you should call me the prince consort!"

Yu Wenshi said with a cold face.

Li Xian chuckled and said, "Are you angry?"

Yu Wenshi snorted coldly, raised his legs and left.

Li Xian said slowly from behind: "If I really had to be a lieutenant of the C regiment, I'm afraid I'll be killed. Brother Shi Ji, you and I have never met you, how dare I not appreciate your help? But, he forced him to promise me a lieutenant of a war soldier, left the camp, and fought a long journey to fight the enemy. The man held his breath and sent me to fight a tough battle that could not survive. I was thinking of serving Your Majesty. If I died in Liaodong like this, wouldn't it be unfair?"

Yu Wen Ji didn't speak, but his pace slowed down a little.

Li Xian chased after him and said, "Sir and Brother, what's wrong with escorting food and grass? Can't you make a contribution?"

Yu Wenshi said coldly: "What does your future have to do with me?"

Li Xian sighed and said, "Shi and brother... I think that Xin Shixiong has been a little bit of aggrieved to me in this way. In the future, he will slowly fight in the army on an expedition. When he has no intention of harming me, wouldn't it be better if I find a way to find a position as a warrior?"

Yu Wenshiji snorted and said, "Yes, it turns out you are not a fool!"

Seeing his face relaxed, Li Xian said shamelessly: "Then... Brother Shi and I, since I am responsible for the escort of the Zuotun Guard's rear team, can I give more horses?"

Yu Wenshi looked at Li Xian in disbelief and sighed deeply: "You are not a foolish boy, you are a thicker face than the walls of Liaodong City!"
