.

Going north of Mayi, the grass along the way was green, the sky was high and the clouds were light. From time to time, the people were filled with sorrow.

Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is at the intersection of the Turkic and the Great Sui Dynasty. In recent years, the relationship between the Great Sui and the Turkic Turkic has become increasingly evil. From time to time, Turkic soldiers went south to plunder. When this is the place of Feiyang, the Great Sui soldiers guarding the border also fought back. Both sides suffered, but the people here were the people.

However, although the here is hard, the people still stay here with fear because they can no longer find their own paradise. For them, the harsh political and military service is more terrifying than the war and plunder between the two sides.

A team of soldiers was about 300, each with distinctive armor and good horses and bows, and they were moving northwards without any haste. By noon, they had arrived at Zihe.

The water of Zihe River is as bright and clear as ever, flowing quietly. The green mountains in the distance are majestic, continuous and expanding like dragons and snakes. A general immediately waved his iron spear and said in a deep voice: "Get off the horse and rest for an hour."

Three hundred cavalry dismounted in unison, and their movements were consistent. They used the pot to make fire, cook and fetch water. Several people were responsible for putting on horses and feeding them and unloading the baggage. Two people were galloping forward on horseback to replace the sentry soldiers. Each of them did things silently, but they did nothing. However, dozens of people did not dismount, and did not expect the general, but just looked at another person riding a white horse.

Xiao Buyi laughed and scolded: "I have a great official position here, but the commander is the eldest. You can just follow the commander of Li Junzhu."

The dozens of men responded and dismounted sparsely. Sit cross-legged, Sun Shaofang shook his head and said, "You are used to eating, drinking and enjoying, so are you waiting for the meal?" He acted and kicked over, "You still can't help collecting the dead branches of the fire?"

Of course, the men followed Xiao Buyi's guards south, Hu Biao and Sun Jin were all on the list. In fact, most of the guards south were following Xiao Buyi's side this time. However, A Su and Zhou Muru stayed by the bearded guest just to inform him if there was something unexpected.

Although the guards had been out for a long time, many of them were full of each person. The whole family was not hungry. Of course, there were people like Zhou Dingbang, but not many. When Xiao Buyi set out from Liang County, he allowed these guards to go straight to Dongdu. However, Sun Shaofang was rarely idle and wanted to have nothing to do in Dongdu. He asked to follow Xiao Buyi, and the rest of the guards responded, knowing that the current Taipu Shaoqinghong was in a mess. Following him to make great achievements, he turned around Dongdu and was desperate to die. He followed Lord Xiao to fight Qiufeng everywhere. Although this master did not plunder money, he never rudes if any local officials came to send money. On the way back and forth, everyone made a lot of money.

However, Zhang Qing was going to Dongdu. On the one hand, he had to reply to the Ministry of War, but on the other hand, it was because of Zhou Dingbang. Although Sun Shaofang was smooth, he never forgot the promise he made. Although Zhou Dingbang rebelled and died, it was understandable that the family was helpless. Sun Shaofang left Zhang Qing in Dongdu to take care of Zhou Dingbang's family.

Xiao Buyi got the treasure. There were arrangements for it. Except for a few people including Yuan Lan, even Sun Shaofang didn't know it. The local officials' filial piety was all given to their subordinates, allowing the guards to follow them wholeheartedly.

They went from Liang County to Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan County, and after half a day of rest, they arrived at Mayi. They stayed overnight and set off for the Turks the next day. However, when they arrived, there were only a few dozen people, but when they moved forward again, there were Li Jing and three hundred soldiers.

Li Jing has always been taciturn, and all the guards are ignorant in the east. He knows that he was originally a minister and has only recently become the county magistrate. He has always looked down upon him, but when he saw Xiao Buyi being intimate and respectful to Li Jing, he dare not underestimate Li Jing. What is Li Jing's ability is not clear about, but Lord Xiao's ability is obvious to all. Lord Xiao takes the disaster first, and everyone shares good things. He has long convinced the guards of the guards throughout the journey south. Lord Xiao respects the people, and of course they should respect them. However, they are used to being idle. Li Jing's soldiers followed Li Jing's words and no one dares to disobey Li Jing, but they are still lazy and lazy and disobey Li Jing's orders.

"Second brother, do you want to rest again?" Xiao Buyi smiled.

"Are you in a hurry to be this marriage envoy?" Li Jing asked dismounted and removed the saddle. Xiao Buyi was the same.

Xiao Buyi knew that Li Jing was caring for horsepower and did it himself in many places. It was the most important thing to accumulate horsepower because of the cavalry fighting. Li Jing had to remove the saddle every time he rested. It seemed troublesome, but it was just for the horse to better fight and travel far.

"I'm not anxious." Xiao Buyi sat cross-legged and looked into the distance, "It's just that this marriage envoy is not easy to do."

"It's good that you know." Li Jing also sat down, looked at the scattered guards, and frowned.

"When will the second brother be free? It would be better to train my subordinates as you soldiers?" Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly and said, "They are used to being idle. Just like me, don't be surprised by the second brother."

Li Jing shook his head, "I don't know how to be weird, but you guys may be able to fight alone. If you want to say that marching is just a group of mobs, vulnerable."

Xiao Buyi nodded, "What the second brother said is very true."

Li Jing looked into the distance, "Third brother, I know that your martial arts skills are not bad now, but if you are among thousands of troops, you will have enough control and lack of combat. Leading the army lies in strict discipline. Otherwise, Zhuge Wuhou would not say that a controlled army is not defeated; an uncontrolled army is not defeated by a capable general."

"Second brother, please say something I can understand." Xiao Buyi said with a wry smile.

Li Jing explained: "Wuhou said this means that the army is well-trained and disciplined, and even a mediocre general will not defeat the war. But if his army does not fight, even if he leads the army, he will inevitably be in danger."

Xiao Buyi listened with relish and nodded, "So that's what Zhuge Wuhou said makes sense. It seems that if a mediocre person like me can lead a well-trained army, he will have a chance to win."

Li Jing smiled, "What you said makes sense, so I am trying to help you train an iron army to prevent unfavorable circumstances. If there is a real war, the third brother will not seek to kill the enemy, and there will always be no problem in protecting himself. Sun Tzu's martial arts is full of knowledge, the teachings are unclear, the officials and soldiers are indomitable, the soldiers are erratic, and they are chaotic." Seeing Xiao Buyi rolling his eyes, Li Jing smiled and explained: "If this sentence is to be explained in detail, it is. If the training and teaching methods are appropriate, the soldiers will be willing to obey the general's orders, but if the teaching is not legal, even if you urge it sooner or later, it will be useless. The general is not powerful, and the army has no discipline.

Unbeatable. Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of self-disruption and self-destruction. At that time, King Jian of Qin seemed powerful with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but he was defeated when he retreated in the Battle of Water. In the final analysis, it was just a word chaotic. If there were soldiers who were strict, it would be not a rash to break 30,000. General Zhang led the twelve counties of Henan Road. He often defeated many with fewer numbers. Although the bandits often had tens of thousands of people, they often failed to defeat the army with one blow. To put it bluntly, it was the consequence of the unclear cause of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching. At the beginning of the year, I went to Qi County. Looking at General Zhang's method of using troops, it was considered to be a normal rule. But the four words "Teaching the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the teaching of the war were enough to win every battle."

Buyi sighed: "What the second brother said is very reasonable. But the truth is also quite good, but not everyone can train such soldiers like the second brother."

Li Jing nodded slowly, "Third brother, you are actually smart, but now you are not the general in command of the entire army. Because you are too friendly, you can make friends with people like you, because people like you are truly a human being, you can do whatever you want and feel comfortable. But being your subordinates is not good, because they will be at a loss. There are many people in the world, but many soldiers are incapable of orders. Back then, the Minister of Shangshu Ling, Gong Yang, was actually not good at strategy, but he could win every battle. Do you know why?"

Xiao Buyi pondered for a long time before shook his head and said, "I don't know."

He pondered not about Yang Su's method of using troops, but about Li Jing's comments on him. He had to say that Li Jing's words were incisive and extremely accurate.

"The reason why Mr. Yang can win every battle is that he is strict in his military governance and clear in rewards and punishments." Li Jing said slowly: "Every time Mr. Yang goes out to the army, he must control the people strictly. Whenever he marchs and fights, he first seeks the faults of the soldiers and kills them. When there are many, there are more than a hundred people, and when there are few, there are more than a dozen people."

Xiao Buyi was a little stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he said, "Is he killing soldiers to establish his authority? But this method is a bit too cruel."

Li Jing nodded, "So I said that you are not bad about martial arts. If you want to lead the army to fight, you are still too bad. Every time you go out, Yang Gong must kill troops to establish his authority. Before bleeding, he still laughs calmly. When facing the enemy, hundreds of people will charge, and if they cannot be captured but survive, they will be killed no matter how many. In this way, his soldiers under him will die when they go to battle, so that they can become famous generals of the Sui Dynasty. However, although his laws are so strong, the soldiers who follow him will record small achievements and reward in a very short period of achievements. This is much stronger than some generals leading the army to attack the enemy, the merits of the soldiers have been tampered with by civil officials, so the soldiers are more willing to follow Yang Gong."

Xiao Buyi sighed softly, "I just realized that some things are something that some people can never do."

Li Jing patted his shoulder gently and comforted him: "Fortunately, some people can never do anything you do."

**

Li Jing and Xiao Buyi talked about military tactics for a long time. After lunch, they pulled the camp forward. Li Jing always had an orderly and was neither anxious nor slow. Although everyone rushed to the road, they rarely felt tired. They couldn't help but secretly admire Li Jing's ability to dispatch. Sun Shaofang also gave Xiao Buyi a thumbs up in private, saying that Lord Xiao is indeed aware of people. A mere Mayi county magistrate is not simple. When he was in the Eastern Capital, he only heard that Li Jing was not bad. When he met today, he felt that his reputation was worthy.

Xiao Buyi was secretly funny, thinking that he knew Li Jing and made friends with Li Jing because he knew Li Jing very well, and that he had nothing to do with knowing people.

Li Jing was praised and criticized by others, and his joys and anger were not reflected. After crossing the Zihe River, everyone headed straight north under Li Jing's leadership. Although Li Jing had been in the Eastern Capital for a long time, he still knew the world's affairs without going out. However, he was not familiar with the terrain of the Turks, and everything he knew was just recorded in books, so he found a Viagra early in Mayi to lead the way.

Viaga is still the same old, but it is obviously not the Viaga that brought the merchants out of the frontier. Li Jing did not let him walk in front of him. He asked Viaga a few words in a low voice when he had time. He spent a lot of time pondering and thinking, as if he wanted to remember every grass and tree here in his mind.

It has entered the Turkic territory, but it is still relatively desolate. There are more cattle and sheep from herders. When they see the bright armor of everyone, they are a little uneasy. But when they see a big banner with the words "give marriage" written on it, they are all a little relieved.

Because of the border with the Great Sui Dynasty, many people could speak Turkic language, and many Turkic people knew the writing of the Great Sui Dynasty. Although these people were well-equipped, there were not many people after all, so there should be no dispute. Giving marriages was not unfamiliar to Turkic herdsmen. When Ke Dun married into the Turkic period, thousands of people followed him, and this time there were only these hundreds. I guess some unsuccessful princess married him.

Li Jing asked the soldiers to raise the flag and declare goodwill, which saved a lot of trouble and few people asked along the way.

Xiao Buyi remembered that when he left the Zihe River, he headed northeast, where was the place of Pugu and Bayegu. This time he went north. Although it was not in the opposite direction from the Mengchen tribe, he was still unable to get close, and he couldn't help but lose something. He came to the grassland and wanted to see Meng Chenxue. Now he looks like he is getting farther and farther away from Meng Chenxue's Meng Chenxue's Meng Chenxue.

The grassland is so big. The sky is vast. The fields are in a daze, and the journey is endless.

When Xiao Buyi saw Li Jing asking Vika to come to an end, he rode his horse over and asked, "Second brother, do you still know Turkic words?"

Li Jing nodded, "I know a little."

Xiao Buyi was ashamed, "What's wrong with the second brother?"

Li Jing thought for a while before saying, "I won't be able to have a baby."

Xiao Buyi and Li Jing laughed at the same time. Xiao Buyi didn't expect Li Jing to joke with him like this, and asked in confusion, "I see that my second brother is not familiar with the terrain of the Turkic terrain, but he can speak Turkic, so I can't help but feel a little strange."

Li Jing looked at the mountains in the distance and suddenly asked, "Do you know how old is your third brother now?"

When Xiao Buyi saw Li Jing's calm and expressionless face, he said after a while: "I'm in my early thirties, but I'm under forty?"

Li Jing smiled and stretched out his right hand and said, "I don't know, I really don't know, but I still want me to be relieved? In fact, if you have another five years for me, you will be the year of knowing your destiny."

Xiao Buyi was stunned. Of course, he knew how old he was. The year of Zhidi was also called fifty, which means fifty. He had never thought that Li Jing was so old. It seemed that the bearded guest was the eldest among the three. He was about to be over fifty years old, but he couldn't tell from his face that these two elder brothers were very proud of him at the age of his father.

"The Master said: I am determined to learn at 150, I am determined to be a student at 30, I am not confused at 40, and I am not confused at 50..." Li Jing said sadly: "For my brother, I finally achieved nothing. I thought I would do nothing in the end, but I didn't expect that I would lead the army twice in less than half a year." Looking back at the three hundred soldiers, Li Jing smiled and said, "Although there are only 300 people, it is the most pleasant thing in my life."

Xiao Buyi comforted: "Second brother, don't be depressed. I think Jiang Taigong seems to be in his early 80s before being valued..."

"Eighty?" Li Jing laughed, "I don't know if I can survive until then. I was only sixteen years old for my brother, so I was transferred to Chang'an Gongcao. I thought that the Great Sui Dynasty was decided at the beginning, and there were frequent external troubles. I could become famous at the age of Huo Cavalry, and fought in the east and west, making unparalleled achievements for the Great Sui Dynasty."

Xiao Buyi could only smile bitterly. Of course, Huo Piqiqi means that the young and famous Huo Qubing, the war god of the Han Dynasty! The fierce and fierce Huns had to sing sadly, destroying my Qilian Mountains, so that my animals would not survive; losing my Yanzhi Mountains, so that my women would be colorless.

Unfortunately, Huo Qubing became famous early and died earlier. Although he fought against the Huns for hundreds of battles, he still died in his early twenties. In this way, life was like a meteor-like brilliance, but it was irresistible.

Brother Wei didn't expect that Gongcao would last for seven or eight years." Li Jing was promoted to a little bit, and became a straight house in the hall, which was a ten-year waste in a blink of an eye. Then he became the magistrate of Ji County, the magistrate of Anyang County, and the magistrate of Sanyuan County. His salary could be increased by one stone every year, but his original ambition was getting further and further away from Brother Wei's original ambition."

Xiao Buyi looked at Li Jing with a complicated look, but he was silent. He knew that he only needed to listen at this time. Li Jing's career seemed to be slowly promoted, but he was still the kind of unsuccessful one. These official positions may not be bad for others, but for Li Jing, there are only three words and I don't like it!

"Huo Piqiu passed down the eight characters of the cavalry. The Huns are immortal, so why should their family be the one?" Li Jing sighed softly, "I was fascinated by my brother at that time, but I had been mediocre for more than ten years. At this time, I met my elder brother and Hongfu..."

A little remembrance appeared on his face, as if sad, and as if nostalgic, "Hongfu was as old as a flower and as beautiful as a flower. I was disheartened at that time, but she just comforted me and said, "It was not my fault for being born at the wrong time. I know that my brother is not satisfied with your sister-in-law's character, but when you look at my second brother's face, you not only gave her enough face. This time I would give it to you with beautiful jade..."

He wanted to say something, but still didn't say it. Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "It's just a little effort, why bother to mention it again, my second brother?"

Li Jing was silent for a long time before saying, "Your sister-in-law is indeed a bit snobbish now. But many times it is helpless. A poor couple is sad and sad. When they are rich and prosperous, they can't see anything. Anyone can see your glory. I heard that many gentry deliberately betrothed their daughter to you. Even though the old ghost Li Yuan was promoted and served as a comforter, he seemed to leave his daughter in Dongdu Shou's house. I guess he might want to win over you with Li Caiyu."

Xiao Buyi was sweating profusely and said with a wry smile: "The second brother is too impatient. I have only met Li Caiyu once, so why should I win over it?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "I have been watching you for decades, and I rarely misjudged it. I am just a commoner. You must remember that those who show kindness to you must not be sincere. Those who can never leave you in times of trouble are your life companionship. Your sister-in-law was originally the maid of Shangshu Ling Gong Gong, but later she valued me when your second brother was in a downturn. She resolutely decided to elope with me and make You grateful for your life. Fortunately, Shangshu Ling Gong Gong Gong was quite open-minded, not offensive, nor did she pursue it, otherwise, You might have started to die in the world."

Xiao Buyi smiled, "Yang Gong led the army seriously, and he didn't expect that he could still be beautiful in adulthood."

Li Jing showed gratitude on his face, and said after a while: "When Brother Wei met his elder brother again, I saw that the elder brother also liked Hongfu, but it was a pity that Brother Wei could not separate Hongfu at the beginning, so he felt a little ashamed of his elder brother..."

Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "Second brother's words are destined to be lost, and some fate will never have any result. This is how life is. If you love someone, you may not necessarily have them. Those who love you may not necessarily love her. But if she loves you, and you may also love her, leaving apart and rejecting her will be cruel and helpless. If you pretend to be great and push her to others, it is something that I don't agree with my brothers."

Li Jing was silent for a long time before saying, "Third brother, thank you."

"By the way, I heard that the eldest brother, you and your sister-in-law seemed to have caused a sensation in the capital back then. I wonder what was going on?" Xiao Buyi asked curiously.

Li Jing smiled, "Hongfu was as beautiful as a flower, so he naturally attracted countless disciples. Li family wanted to force Hongfu to rob him, but he accidentally killed the man in anger. Li family had a huge power at that time and was now punished for being a brother. However, the eldest brother stood up and went to the Li family at night, wrote the murderer Zhang Zhongjian on the wall, and put a dagger on the head of the bed in that house, silently."

Xiao Buyi thought that Li Jing would be angry. That man was also a little capable, but Li Jing might have been young and energetic back then, far less calm than he is now. He didn't want to explore the details too much and smiled: "Brother has great martial arts skills, so it is indeed easy to do such things."

Li Jing was moved again, "Brother's intention was obvious, just to warn those people not to make things difficult for me. Although the family was powerful, they were afraid of the elder brother's peerless martial arts. In addition, they were originally just a reason, so this matter was left unresolved. But since then, the elder brother began to be wanted by the government. With his martial arts, of course, everything was just a formality. Who would do such a thankless thing? Because of this, the elder brother rarely appeared in the capital. I was also sent to be a minister because of this matter. The official rank remained unchanged, and I just dealt with livestock all day long."

Only then did Xiao Buyi understand all the causes and consequences. He thought that Li Jing was so talented that he was not used by the Great Sui Dynasty. He thought that Yang Guang had no vision, but he did not expect that everything was caused by the Li family. For someone like Li Jing, it would be much better to let him be a Bima Wen than to kill him.

After thinking about it, Xiao Buyi suddenly thought that Li Jing could become the county magistrate of Mayi. Although he had something to do with him, it might be because of the fall of Li family.

"My brother has been unsuccessful for decades. When he had nothing to do, he was studying military tactics, but also studying the customs and geography of the Western Regions, Tuyuhun and Goryeo, and learned the languages ​​of several places." Li Jing smiled and said, "In fact, it is not just the languages ​​of these places. Even if he speaks Persian, he will speak some of them. I thought it was useless in this life, but I didn't expect that after meeting my brother, I would be willing to end my hardships and be willing to say a few words to Viagra."

When Xiao Buyi remembered the words that opportunities were always reserved for those who were prepared, he sighed that Li Jing was nearly fifty years old, but he did not complain. Only by accumulating strength could he achieve great achievements in his lifetime, which seemed to be no luck.

The two of them walked forward together and talked while walking, which was rare.

"We have been walking for several days now, and Tieshan is not far ahead. After traveling through Tieshan for another day, we will probably be able to reach the territory set up by Chiji." Li Jing waved his finger and saw the continuous mountains ahead, and the mountains were ashen.

"Iron Mountain? Does this mountain produce iron?" Xiao Buyi asked with a smile: "Otherwise, how could this name be called?"

"The third brother said it right. The Turkic iron smelting is a great resource for smelting weapons." Li Jing stared at the distant mountains, "I want Huo Biqi to break through the Qilian Mountains, and after his death, the tomb will also be in the Qilian Mountains. After his death, I only hope that I can use the Iron Mountain as a tomb, and this life will not be wasted."

Xiao Buyi said, "Those who have ambition can accomplish their careers. With the ability of the second brother, we will definitely not let Huo Cavalry in the future."

Li Jing smiled, and without waiting for the answer, his eyes narrowed and his face became solemn. Xiao Buyi also saw a black dot in the distance, gradually getting bigger, and a cavalry rushed towards him. It was the outpost You Yi envoy sent by Li Jing.

Li Jing led the army and always focused on inquiring outposts and knowing himself and his enemy. Every time, two chess players moved forward alternately to find out the news. The man was running so fast that there was something urgent.

The man shouted loudly without waiting to dismount: "Mr. Li, a gust of wind appeared in front of him! He was rushing in this direction, please make a decision quickly."
Chapter completed!
