Xiangshan was originally named Xianglu Mountain, and was named because of its appearance similar to Xianglu. Xue Bingxin led the village people to settle here and renamed Xiangshan. Xiangshan is located on the bank of Lingshui. Although the soil is fertile and the trees are lush, the mountains are low and flat, and it is not an easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, after more than a year of construction, Xiangshan has changed a lot. There are houses on the mountain lined up, walls are built with wood and stone at the foot of the mountain, and there are more than a dozen arrow towers, which have certain defense capabilities.

In addition, the village also built the first line of defense based on Lingshui. The method is very simple, which is to insert a large number of pointed wooden piles into the river. When the river surface freezes, the wooden piles will be sealed in the ice layer and become tripod horse piles, which can effectively block the frontal impact of the cavalry. In fact, as long as Lingshui does not freeze, the river surface more than ten meters wide itself is an effective line of defense to block the cavalry.

It is the cold winter month, and the Lingshui is already three feet frozen, so there is no problem of running horses on it. In the sun, I saw that the dense pointed wooden stakes on the ice of the river in front of Xiangshan were covered with frost. Only a passage several meters wide was left for people to pass through. However, two rows of horses were also placed on the passage, and there were villages responsible for guarding them.

Nearly two hundred miles from Helin to Xianglu Mountain, Xue Bingxin learned that people were coming from the capital, and immediately rushed back eagerly. After a few hours, she finally returned to Xianglu Mountain and saw a strict team stopping at the foot of the mountain village from afar.

Xue Bingxin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. There were so many people coming. Could it be that guy who came in person? Humph, come here, what's so rare? People don't want this bastard, don't want it at all!

Xue Bingxin was deceiving herself, but the acceleration was significantly accelerated. She stood out from the team and rushed to Lingshui in front of the mountain. When the guards saw that the boss had returned, they hurriedly moved away the two rows of horses on the passage.

Xue Bingxin rode her horse past Lingshui and ran directly to the foot of Xiangshan Mountain. The team stationed at the foot of the mountain had about 3,000 people. At this time, they all looked at Xue Bingxin and others.

Xue Bingxin glanced at the team and frowned, because the team in front of her was so strange, they were tall and thin, neither wearing a mandarin duck battle jacket nor using a flintlock rifle. It was impossible for them to be the Shenji Camp, and even the Jing Camp. Their weapons vary in length, and some even had sickles hanging around their waists.

"What the hell is that guy? Have you sent so many people to harvest wheat?" Xue Bingxin asked in his mind. Zhao Hu and Xue Liang were also confused. Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong, who followed closely, looked strange, especially Xie Erjian, whose originally cold face was so excited that they were a little red.

At this time, the village gate opened, and Liu Dali, the fifth leader who was in charge of the left-behind, led the crowd to greet him, and said with a strange expression: "The boss is back, and the guests from the capital have been waiting in Juyi Hall for a long time."

Xue Bingxin clicked, turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to a minion, stepped on her long legs and walked towards Juyitang. Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong quickly dismounted and followed.

At this time, two basins of charcoal fires were burning in Juyi Hall, which was much warmer than outside. Uncle Fourth was greeting two distinguished guests from the capital. When Xue Bingxin stepped into the lobby, the three people on the seat turned around and looked at each other.

Xue Bingxin glanced quickly and couldn't help but feel disappointed, because the visitor was not Xu Jin at all. One of them was vaguely familiar, while the other young general was completely unfamiliar, but he looked very handsome, fair-skinned, almond-eyed and peach cheeks, and a sissy-like person. When he saw Xue Bingxin, his eyes lit up!

Xue Bingxin frowned in displeasure and thought to herself, who has this guy sent here!

"Sima Yuan, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, has met Miss Xue. After leaving for several years, Miss Xue is still in a glorious way, which is gratifying!"

At this time, the familiar middle-aged man stood up and bowed to Xue Bingxin. Xue Bingxin finally recognized it at this time, and bowed to him with his fists: "It turns out to be Sima Qianhu!"

When Sima Yuan accompanied Xu Jin to send an envoy to Shandong to provide disaster relief, Xue Bingxin had a relationship with Xu Jin when she was in Shandong, so the two met each other, but now Huo'er is over four years old. After so many years, Xue Bingxin did not recognize the Jinyiwei family at first sight. Sima Yuan was only a hundred households and was working on a job with Xu Jin.

At this time, the young general who was as beautiful as a woman stood up, bowed to Xue Bingxin boldly, and said in a thick voice: "In Xia Cen Lan, I have seen the master of the great master and have long admired the name of the third lady. When I see him today, it turns out that men are not as good as men. I am lucky to be happy to be lucky."

Xue Bingxin was stunned for a moment, and her originally cold and pretty face suddenly became even colder. Although Cen Lan had a rough voice, she could hear that it was intentional and she was clearly a woman.

Xue Bingxin was full of joy. She thought that the man she was thinking about day and night had come in person, but her own man did not come, but sent a beautiful woman, and she felt very angry.

At this moment, Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong, who were marching in, were both stunned for a moment, and the former blurted out excitedly: "Xiao Lan!"

Cen Lan was still smiling, but when she saw Xie Erjian coming in, she immediately seemed to have been electrocuted. Her almond eyes suddenly turned red and she shouted: "Brother Jian!" After that, she flew out like a cannonball and pierced into Xie Erjian's arms.

Xie Erjian groaned, hugged Cen Lan tightly with both hands, and the firm lines on his face softened instantly, and he said gently: "Xiao Lan, why are you here?"

Cen Lan raised her tears and said, "The man hasn't been home for more than a year, so he has to find him."

Xie Erjian couldn't help feeling distressed, his throat as if something was blocking, and his heart was filled with apology and guilt. Last year, when he and Qi Jingtong led two thousand brothers from Shenji Camp to raid the Fengzhou Chuan, his wife Cen Lan was still pregnant with a fetus, but she stayed outside the border for more than a year. Now that his son is one year old, he has not been able to meet again.

If the clay pot is broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in the battle. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety. If the war fights on the battlefield, and serves the country, they will not care about their family, what can they do?

"I'm sorry!" Xie Erjian said three words almost choked. Over the past year, he has led his brothers alone to go deep, traveling thousands of miles outside the border, wandering on the edge of life and death countless times. His will has long been sharpened as hard as iron stone, but at this moment, he wanted to cry.

Qi Jingtong next to him grinned and made fun of Xie Erjian for being useless, but as he smiled, his eyes turned red. He also had family. His son Qi Jiguang is four years old and now he is about to celebrate the Chinese New Year, so he misses home very much.

Xue Bingxin felt relieved at this moment, quietly looking at Xie Erjian and Cen Lan who were hugging each other tightly, inexplicably envious. She missed men too!

The fourth uncle gave Xue Bingxin a secret wink, and the latter immediately understood and followed the fourth uncle to the side.

"The master, Cen Lan is extraordinary. She participated in the Battle of the Japanese on the coast and was named the third-rank imperial lady. Her current position is a general, and she brought three thousand wolf soldiers to the parcel. What does Xu Jin mean? Will you want the master to listen to Cen in the future?" The fourth uncle complained in a low voice.

Xue Bingxin said with a little unnatural expression: "If she has real skills, it would be impossible to listen to her."

The fourth uncle frowned and said, "Jiajing promised that as long as the boss made great contributions, he would be granted a pardon. But now Cen Lan is the leader, who will be the credit at that time?"

"That's right, we only listen to the boss. If Cen Lan is the leader, the brothers will not agree." Zhao Hu came over and said in a deep voice.

Just when Zhao Hu and others were indignant, Xie Erjian and Cen Lan finally finished their warmth. Xie Erjian was not Xu Jin, and they were still quite tender in front of everyone.

Cen Lan wiped away her tears, changed into a smile, bowed to Xue Bingxin again, and said solemnly: "Although I don't thank you for your kindness, Cen Lan still wants to thank General Xue Shen for helping to find my second sword."

"Mrs. Xie is polite!" Xue Bingxin said subconsciously, suddenly feeling something was wrong, frowned and said, "What did Mrs. Xie call me just now?"

Cen Lan smiled, then looked aloof, saluted a military salute, and said loudly: "Last general Cen Lan, have you seen General Xue Shen!"

"General?" Xue Bingxin was stunned. Zhao Hu and Xue Liang looked at each other, but the fourth uncle had a flash of light in his eyes and showed a happy expression.

At this time, Sima Yuan smiled and took out a volume of imperial edicts and said, "Boss Xue, please accept the imperial edict!"

Xue Bingxin's body trembled. With her background, she naturally understood what the imperial edict meant. She subconsciously knelt on her back. Uncle Fourth, the old eunuch, had already kneeled down one step long ago. Zhao Hu, Xue Liang, and Liu Dali hesitated for a moment, and finally fell to the ground.

Sima Yuan then cleared his throat and opened the imperial edict to read loudly: "The emperor of Fengtian Chengyun said: Xue Bingxin, Lei Jun, Zhao Hu... Although you are thieves, you are also involved in the pursuit of rebellion in Shandong. You should have made the right punishment, but you have the intention to change your past mistakes and have the ambition to kill the enemy and serve the country. God has the virtue of living, and I also have the power of Yao and Shun... I will appoint Xue Bingxin as the general of Xiangshan Ginseng, Lei Jun, Zhao Hu, Xue Liang, and Liu Dali as guerrilla generals. I will make meritorious contributions when you are guilty!"

"The last general's order, thank you!" Xue Bingxin's voice was a little trembling, and she solemnly raised her hands to be prepared to accept the imperial edict.

Seeing this, Zhao Hu and others quickly followed suit and shouted to receive the order!

Sima Yuan rolled up the imperial edict and put it in Xue Bingxin's hand, and smiled and said, "Congratulations to General Xue Shen, and congratulations to all the leaders!"

"Haha, I've transformed from a bandit into a guerrilla general?" Xue Liang touched the back of his head and laughed.

Zhao Hu and others also smiled happily, and being a general is more promising than being a bandit.

Xue Bingxin held the imperial edict in her hand and felt mixed emotions. The man did it. In the future, we and my mother can go to the capital with justification, but the premise is to survive the next fierce battles first!

The fourth uncle frowned and said, "Justice Cen Shen said he brought three thousand wolf soldiers to assist in the parcel. However, General Cen Shen's position is the general, and our boss' position is also the general. Who has the final say?"

Zhao Hu, Xue Liang and Liu Dali nodded quickly and echoed: "Yes, who is the leader? This must be made clear in advance!"

Cen Lan said slyly: "Duke Jingguo ordered the last general to come to the village, but he didn't say who should be the main one... However, the last general was not familiar with the environment outside the border, so he naturally took General Xue Shen as the main one."

Zhao Hu and others couldn't help but sigh at the sight of Cen Lan, and they were much more pleasing to them. Xue Bingxin smiled and said modestly: "General Cen Shen has participated in the battle to combat Japanese. From now on, I will be the leader... I will ask General Cen Shen for advice!"

Cen Lan smiled and said, "General Xue Shen is too modest. He can establish a firm foothold in the territory of the Tartars and develop to this scale. General Xue Shen is not an ordinary person!"
