After hearing this, Li Yan looked at Li Yu, and Li Shan said with one glance, "It's nothing. If it's like Uncle Guo Xin said, and he has blocked the enemy soldiers these few times, even if there is a war later, there should be no big battles for the time being."
After experiencing the previous sieges, the county seat was not captured, and there were so many casualties. The enemy soldiers should have been wary of Marshal Hong, and they must have known that unless the commander-in-chief was changed, there might be a chance to invade, or there would be a natural disaster or someone from inside the city.
It's still possible to break through, but Marshal Hong and his counselors have already thought about this kind of thing. They are all experienced in the battlefield, so they shouldn't be easily pressed in by another large army."
Hearing this, Li Guoxin couldn't help but look at Li Yan in surprise. These things were indeed as Li Yan said. In the past year or so, the Meng Kingdom had not sent a large army to Qingshan Pass, but occasionally there were still small groups of cavalry to harass and attack.
But being able to say these things clearly shows that this child is mature and not as ill-considered as some other teenagers.
"What this little brother is saying is that our Marshal Hong and Ji Junshi are fierce generals and talented people in the world. Those thieves from the Meng State couldn't attack with four or five armies, but Ji Junshi took the opponent's deputy commander.
The first level has already frightened the thieves out of their courage, and now our army often sends troops to attack them, which makes these enemy thieves complain endlessly."
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the front. It turned out that they had arrived at the city gate unknowingly. A dozen soldiers in armor were lined up on both sides of the city gate, but there was a man standing in front of him. He was carrying a waist knife.
, also wearing armor, but with a touch of red baby on the top of the helmet. This man was of medium stature, with a black face and no beard, a straight but slightly hooked nose, and his eyes were looking at them like lightning. He was standing in the middle of the second row of soldiers.
, just blocking the entrance to the city gate, so he must be the leader of the group.
It was this person who had spoken just now. He was looking at Li Yan with a bit of surprise in his eyes. After all, Li Yan looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was wearing coarse clothes, but he was not rich.
If the young master is one of those young masters, he wouldn't be surprised. After all, people of these backgrounds and elders in the family will often talk about these events.
, the visitors are usually villagers from the area under their jurisdiction or businessmen from the dynasty. Those princes from the dynasty will not come here to play in recent years. After all, some things are still unforeseen. Look at Li Yan's dress.
He would not think that the prince from the imperial family was here to have a private visit. Such a country boy had such an opinion, which made him feel a little interested, so he spoke a few words.
When Li Yan saw the other party looking at him, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, bowed and said, "Please forgive me for what I said just now." The old scholars in the village had taught them many of these etiquette matters.
Let them remember not to become foreigners or barbarians, and they must practice well. In fact, the village is all acquaintances and farmers, so there are still a lot of vulgar words to each other. But the old scholar is very strict with these young people.
Yes, this should be something that the old scholar was proud of in his life.
The team leader was just a little curious. After hearing what Li Yan said, he stopped talking. Then he
He turned to Li Guoxin and asked, "What are you doing in the city at this time?"
At this time, Li Guoxin had already pulled up the carriage and came to the man who looked like a captain. He replied respectfully, "Reporting to the military master, I am the village chief of Lijia Village in Daqingshan. This is the road guide."
The prepared Lu Yin handed it over with both hands and continued, "This is for bringing a few young people to the city to be apprentices and join the army."
The man who looked like the leader took the guide, looked at it, nodded and said, "It is indeed correct."
When he heard the words "join the army", he smiled and said, "But join the Guards?"
Li Guoxin quickly replied, "Exactly."
The man continued, "Which of these people have joined the army?"
Li Guoxin pointed at Li Yan and said, "Master Jun, he is the only one who has joined the army, and the other two are apprentices."
When the man heard this, he turned and looked at Li Yan along Li Guoxin's finger. When he saw it was him, he said to Li Yan, "Oh, it's you. What you said before, little kid, has some insights. Joining the army can be considered a good idea."
It's appropriate, our Marshal Hong attaches great importance to people with intelligence and talent, after all, there are still more capable soldiers."
When Li Yan heard this, he bowed and saluted again and said, "Thank you, Master Jun, for your advice."
The leader waved his hand and said, "Then you go quickly. This time the Guards only recruits 150 people. This is the second day. This barracks is recruiting very quickly. It is estimated that it will be full today."
After all, the Guards are considered a logistics department. They rarely get any blood, and they only take a little less than those of us on the front line."
After a pause, he said to Li Yan, "My name is Liu Chengyong, and I am the captain of the third team of Zhan Bing Battalion. We will never have any dealings with each other in the future."
After hearing this, Li Yan was very surprised. Are all the people in the barracks so easy to talk to? But he didn't dare to ask. He just said, "Captain Liu, if you are lucky enough to enter the barracks, please give me your instructions whenever I need to do something."
After hearing this, Liu Chengyong laughed and said, "Very good, very good." He then handed the road guide back to Li Guoxin, stepped aside to get out of the way, and waved his hand to let them enter the city.
Li Guoxin took the road and introduced him into his arms. He thanked Li Yan and asked Li Yan to get in the car quickly. He drove slowly towards the city gate, but he was still wondering about what Captain Liu just said. Did he know that these soldiers
Soldiers are all ruthless people who have been in the blood for countless times. Apart from seeing the officials every day, I have never seen them be so polite to people like me. The best time is to let them go with an "oh", that is
Thank God, it is common to find a reason to get beaten when you are in trouble; if you encounter trouble, you may be locked up for a few days, and you can't easily get out without taking out some silver coins. But at this time, he also had something on his mind, so he didn't say anything more.
Thinking about it, he hurriedly drove into the city.
Seeing them entering the city, a soldier next to him asked Liu Chengyong strangely, "Liu Tou, why are you so polite to a country boy?"
Already?"
Liu Chengyong glanced at him and said calmly, "Now when it comes to fighting in the army, it is Marshal Hong who has the final say. But since the last time the Ji Army Division rescued Marshal Hong from the enemy's siege, he has been acting like a god."
Just like that, they took the head of their deputy marshal in the midst of thousands of troops. Now Marshal Hong has the final say on many things. In the past two years, Ji Junshi has personally made the decision every time he enlists in the army.
Go to the school grounds and test the registered soldiers one by one, especially those who have read." Speaking of this, he also looked strange. After all, every time he recruits soldiers, although the number of applicants is limited, since the recruitment was launched,
After subsidizing the expenses for the family in advance, there were dozens to hundreds each time, but even so, the Third Army Division also tested the physical fitness of each applicant one by one. Although everyone knew the reason later, every time he wanted to come to such a person one by one,
It's a lot of work to test your physical fitness, so I still feel a little strange.
At this time, the soldier next to him said, "Yes, yes, I heard that Mr. Ji is going to choose a suitable candidate to be his successor. When it comes to this, it is enviable. Mr. Ji's clothes
His martial arts is superb. He must be at least the best in the martial arts world. Otherwise, he would not have been able to take the rank of general among thousands of armies last time and bring back Marshal Hong and a team of troops. If anyone can learn this martial arts,
Then you can go anywhere in the world in this life. Unfortunately, the interior of our barracks has been tested by Mr. Ji one after another. So far, no one can meet his discernment. But I heard that Mr. Ji selected one from the small team of the Chinese Army Camp at the beginning of last year.
He is a suitable disciple, but not many people know him. A small soldier like him in an army of hundreds of thousands usually has nothing to stand out about. Usually, except for a few people around him, he is familiar with it, even the team leader who directly reports to him. Later, he got to know him.
He was brought back to his home by Master Ji to practice. However, it was said that because he had not read any books and could not understand the direction of the meridians, something went wrong while he was practicing his internal skills. He went crazy and died. Some people said they saw him swollen and blackened all over.
It's very terrifying, but this also shows that Master Ji's martial arts is extremely domineering." Hearing this, some of the other soldiers nearby expressed that they had heard of it, and a few of them started talking among themselves.
Liu Chengyong glanced at the group of soldiers dissatisfied and said, "Shut up, the superiors are not allowed to talk about the third army division outside."
After hearing this, the soldiers quickly shrank their necks and nodded in response, "Yes, yes, yes", and stopped talking about it.
At this time, another soldier asked strangely: "Liu Tou, why were you so interested in this boy just now? Is there any chance that he will enter Lord Ji's sect?"
Liu Chengyong showed a little smile on his dark face and said, "That's not necessarily true. I just think this guy has some insights, which shows that he is not stupid. From what he said later, it seems that those who have read the book should just take it as a casual reminder. Is there any chance?"
?Maybe it’s true. If I meet such a person again later, I might still say it if I feel it’s okay. Okay, let’s continue to be on duty with peace of mind.”
After hearing this, these soldiers quickly stood up and took charge, but they were thinking in their hearts that they were casting a wide net.
