Xiao Ding turned around with hesitation, but only three days later, Xin Jian appeared in front of him.

This surprised and delighted Xiao Ding.

"Young man is willing to serve the commander, go through fire and water, no matter what!" He knocked his head down hard, and when he raised it up, Xin Jian's face was full of shame.

After all, I just rejected him three days ago, and now I'm here.

Xiao Ding, however, did not feel dissatisfied. He laughed loudly and helped Xin Jian up, saying, "Okay, a man's fame will naturally come with swords and guns. From now on, we are a family."

"Thank you, Commander, for taking this seriously."

Xiao Ding was still a little curious: "Brother Xin, what made you change your mind?"

Xin Jian blushed and said, "My mother's condition improved greatly after being diagnosed and treated by Dr. Wang. When she found out that the commander had recruited me and I refused, she was so angry that she wanted to hang herself in the room. She also said that if I didn't come to surrender to the commander,

, she might as well just die."

"The old lady really understands the righteousness. Brother Xin is so good at martial arts, how can he be buried in a place like Yihongyuan? Come on, let me introduce you to some good brothers!" Xiao Ding laughed and pulled Xin.

Gradually, he wanted to reintroduce him to his group of personal guards.

When Xiao Ding saw Xiao Cheng again, he couldn't help but wonder what methods Xiao Cheng used to make Xin Jian change his mind in three days. Xin Jian was hesitant in speaking, obviously not telling the truth.

"I told my brother a long time ago that if we can't attack from the front, then we should attack from the side!" Holding the book in his hand, Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "I still remember that I was going to tie up two of Xin Jian's dolls and send them to them.

Where is uncle going?"

"Of course I remember!" Xiao Ding nodded.

"I went to see my uncle with the certificate given by my elder brother and dozens of dollars!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Tell him that if this matter is settled, I will give him the same amount of money."

.”

"Is it that simple?" Xiao Ding was dubious.

"Of course not. This Da Zhai is also a talented person!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile. "He knew that he was not worthy enough, so he persuaded his mother to go to Xin Jian's home."

"ah?"

"This old lady from Da Zhai and Xiao Zhai is a fierce character. She blocked the old lady's door and scolded her!" Xiao Cheng said: "I have been scolding her since the two families got married, saying that she was really blind back then.

, threw a good young girl into the fire pit, and now she finally has a chance to climb out of the fire pit, but Xin Jian not only refuses to climb out, but also buries herself with ashes."

Xiao Ding couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Xin Jian, the mother-in-law, was really good at scolding.

"The old lady has been in poor health. Don't make your illness worse by scolding her." He was a little worried.

"No way!" Xiao Cheng said: "This old lady had a mental illness to begin with. Now things have slowly calmed down. Dr. Wang has given me another prescription, and she is almost better. She was pressed against the door by her own mother.

After scolding her, she used poison to fight poison, but she was cured without any medicine. That's how she ended up hanging a rope on a beam and forcing Xin Jian to come to you!"

"That's not bad." Xiao Ding said: "Then Xin Jian made a request. He wanted to take away the whole family, saying that Bianliang can no longer accommodate their family."

"This is a good thing!" Xiao Cheng said: "In this way, he can serve the elder brother more wholeheartedly. By the way, there is another thing that the elder brother might as well give to Xin Jian as a gift."

"What?"

Xiao Cheng stood up, took out something wrapped in cloth from the cabinet, and placed it in front of Xiao Ding.

"This is Xin Jian's chopped-off iron mace that my eldest brother brought back from the school grounds that day. I asked Tiangong Iron Art to re-mount it. It's no worse than before," Xiao Cheng said.

Xiao Ding was surprised and happy: "Tiangong Iron Art is so capable? He Zheng brought these two pieces of iron mace back that day, saying that they couldn't lose sight of them in a battle, but the iron mace could still be seen clearly.

, I also blamed him for being nosy, but it turned out to be a good thing."

Pulling the cloth apart, he saw that the iron mace that he had cut off was now one piece. If you didn't look closely, you could hardly see any obvious traces. If you looked closely, there was only a faint pattern looming, and he waved it a few times.

Down below, tigers and tigers generate wind.

"I heard from Xin Jian that this iron mace was a family heirloom. Now that it has returned to its original owner, I think I will be even more grateful to my eldest brother," Xiao Cheng said.

"It's you he should be grateful for!"

"What do I want him to be grateful for?" Xiao Cheng said with a smile. "If he can sincerely serve Big Brother in the future, he will be able to live up to Big Brother's feelings for him."

In mid-September, Xiao Ding's whereabouts were finally decided.

This time, it can be said that both inside and outside the government, we have the same aspirations, and everyone has the same mind. Naturally, there is no such thing as wrangling.

Dingbiancheng!

Xiao Ding will take his entire Guangrui Army to move to the border town.

The officials hoped that a capable general with good fighting skills would go to frighten Hengshan, or even control Hengshan, so that Ma Xing, the pacifying envoy of Shaanxi Road, could quickly deal with the trouble-making army Li, thus completing the imperial court's grand strategy of three-pronged conquest of the Liao Dynasty.

Chu King Zhao Jing was worried that Xiao Ding would be left in Bianliang to become one of the commanders of the Upper Fourth Army. Naturally, he was not willing to let such a key position be controlled by the people of Jing King Zhao Zhe, and naturally wanted to invite Xiao Ding out of Bianliang as soon as possible.

Cui Ang, the newly appointed Hebei pacifier, had a long talk with Xiao Ding in Baima. He immediately discovered that this famous warrior in Northern Liao was not at all consistent with his ideas, so he still stayed in Tianmen Village, relying on Xiao Ding's prestige.

and background will only make it difficult for Cui Ang to implement his strategic plan smoothly. For an ordinary general, Cui Ang might be able to kill him with one slash, but Xiao Ding, can he do it? Since he can't command and kill,

Of course I have to ask him to leave.

And what about Ma Xing, the Shaanxi Road pacifier who had just taken office? He was a figure who had always disliked Li Xu of the Dingnan Army. He believed that it was precisely because of the rebelliousness and rebelliousness of the Dingnan Army that the northwest of the empire was

Not Jing, as long as this thorn is pulled out, the northwest of the empire will be safe, and a strategic encirclement of Northern Liao can be formed. However, in the past few years, under the leadership of the Zhuhe faction Zhang Kuo on the Shaanxi Road, thousands of horses were in silence, and the army had no fighting spirit.

There is an urgent need for a figure like Xiao Ding to rekindle the military morale of the entire Shaanxi Road.

With the joint efforts of several parties, in less than a month, the emperor issued an edict and the two governments signed it. Xiao Ding officially took over as the commander of the border city of Luding, Shaanxi Province. He was responsible for two armies, one of which he would lead.

The Guangrui Army, and the other one, is the Dingbian Army that has been stationed in Dingbian City.

The total number of the two armies is 5,000, with 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry.

His son had been promoted to an official position and was now the sole leader. However, Xiao Yu's face did not look happy at all, but was extremely serious.

"Dalang, although you have doubled the number of troops and horses under your command, your combat effectiveness has also dropped a lot. As far as I know, the current Dingbian Army is really in trouble."

Compared to Xiao Yu's worries, Xiao Ding is much more free and easy.

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. I think back then, Hebei's army was not as decadent as before. As long as we train our troops carefully, eliminate the bad and keep the good, and reward and punish appropriately, the morale of the army will naturally improve. What's more, Hengshan Dangxiang is not comparable to the Liao people."

"Brother, we can't take it lightly. The Hengshan party members may not be as good as the Liao people in terms of military discipline, combat skills and tactics, but in terms of fierceness, they are not bad, or even worse." Xiao Cheng shook his head and said: "The Liao people are also now.

Being considered a rich man, with a family and business, he naturally has many worries. The Liao Kingdom also prides itself on being a big country, and behaves in the style and law of a big country. However, Hengshan Dangxiang does not have these worries. They often act on their own.

It's so fast that it's hard to predict."

"Erlang is right." Xiao Yu said: "And as you said, proper rewards and punishments, eliminating the bad and keeping the good, all require an economic foundation, and the conditions in the border army are very bad! Where will you be placed?

I'm afraid it won't be easy for Sergeant Wan Guangrui and his family. They gave up the comfortable and comfortable life in Tianmen Village and followed you to a place like that. Just making them feel at ease is not an easy thing."

"As for the money, I have to ask you to try to allocate more money in the court. In addition, since Ambassador Cui wants me to leave so much, I have to pay some price." Xiao Ding sneered: "When we get to Shaanxi

On the other side of the road, if the horse pacifier wants to make good use of my sharp weapon, he must give him some benefits. As long as he gives me a year's buffer time, the child is confident that he can gain a foothold somewhere."

"I'm afraid that the Dangxiang people won't let you stand!" Xiao Yu said: "This time the imperial court changed its generals and specially transferred you to Dingbiancheng, doubling the number of soldiers and horses in Dingbiancheng. A blind man also knows what the imperial court wants to do. I'm afraid it is to

To show you power."

Hearing this, Xiao Ding laughed: "They really dare to come to Dingbian Town to cause trouble for me. I can't ask for it. It's faster than if I go to Hengshan to search for their traces. They want to give me power, but I

Why don’t you want to set rules for them?”

Xiao Cheng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, you are right about establishing rules. The Hengshan party is capricious. After all, it is just their interests that come first. There are also many conflicts between their tribes, and they attack and annex each other.

But they often join forces to harass me, the Song Dynasty. There is a lot to be done here. Brother, you might as well hit some hard and then try to win over some."

"Is this the big stick and candied dates that you often say, second brother?" Xiao Ding said with a smile.

"Exactly!" Xiao Cheng said: "The Dangxiang people are brave and good at fighting, and their kung fu is not inferior to that of the Liao people. If they can be conquered, they will be a big help in the three-pronged attack on the Liao Dynasty in the future."

Xiao Ding nodded: "What the second brother said coincides with what I think. Sir, this time we move to the town, the affairs are complicated. There are many things, and I don't want to do it in the hands of outsiders, so I want to ask the second brother to come and help.

.”

"This?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but twitch his beard. "Your second brother will take part in the national examination in May next year."

"There is no way we can delay it until that time!" Xiao Cheng said quickly: "Sir, eldest brother's matter is the top priority of our Xiao family right now, and we must not make the slightest mistake. Besides, Mr. Cen also said, I

The articles are of sufficient proficiency and proficiency. What is needed now is practical experience. As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. This is a God-given opportunity. I will do this for my elder brother. Maybe I will make some plans for the Jinshi Examination next year.

Then he came out."

Xiao Yu was surprised: "Where do you start talking about this?"
