Xiao Jingxuan thought for a long time, but he had no idea. It seemed that he could only go to Zuo Xiaowei's camp to take a look.
Zuo Xiaowei now only has cavalry, which is still considered an organic form, but Xiao Jingxuan has no acquaintances in the middle camp.
Xiao Jingxuan packed two pots of wine in bamboo tubes, bought some cooked beef, and brought a roast chicken to Zuoying.
When I came last time, I didn't see anyone I knew, so I have to look carefully this time.
Not to mention, Xiao Jingxuan actually saw an acquaintance, an unexpected person. Qin Feng.
After the two met, they hugged each other fiercely. Xiao Jingxuan said excitedly: "Brother Qin, why didn't I see you when I came last time? I asked several people and they all said you were dead."
When Qin Feng heard Xiao Jingxuan's question, his expression instantly became lonely. After a while, he said: "Let's go to the camp and talk about it."
After the two arrived at the camp, Xiao Jingxuan put the food on the table. Qin Feng saw Xiao Jingxuan put two bamboo tubes on the table, so he found two bowls next to it.
The two of them were not polite. After sitting down, they had a drink together. Only then did Qin Feng start talking.
"Brother, do you know how I survived? I crawled out of a pile of dead people. I crawled out of a pile of dead people in a mass grave."
After saying this, Qin Feng was a little excited and continued: "My family has been in the army for generations. I have been in the army for more than ten years and I am loyal to the court. However, how did I feel when I climbed out of the crowd of four people? Do you know how I lived afterwards?
Did you come down?"
Xiao Jingxuan shook his head, with a lonely expression on his face.
Qin Feng poured himself another bowl of wine, and after finishing it, he continued: "I crawled down from the mass grave, and I was lucky enough to survive. I met a herbalist, and I saved my life."
Xiao Jingxuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "It's not easy. I'm luckier than you. I was carried back from the mass grave. I was injured too badly. One of them was in a coma for fifteen days. It still remembers me."
Did you take in two people during the war? They carried me back from the mass grave."
When Xiao Jingxuan finished speaking, the two had another drink. Both of them were sighing.
After a while, Qin Feng asked, "Brother, what are you doing when you come back?"
"I plan to stay in the border town. There are better opportunities here. My family has offered me the position of deputy general in Fengzhou. Come over and see if anyone is interested."
"Brother, that's good. In the blink of an eye, your official position is higher than mine."
"Brother Qin, you are joking. The losses of Zuo Xiaowei this time are so serious and there is a shortage of officers. With Brother Qin's contribution, it is not a big problem to get General Xuanwei."
Brother Qin shook his head and said: "It's easy to say. I temporarily took over as a guerrilla during the war. I was promoted to two ranks. I am grateful to God for being able to finalize the position of guerrilla."
Xiao Jingxuan nodded and said: "Then what are Brother Qin's plans in the future?"
"No, my wife and children are in the capital and can't come. Besides, if I stay in the capital, I will be the emperor's personal soldier, and my status will be much higher than that of the frontier army."
"Brother Qin, if you want to help me, why don't you introduce a few of them?"
"According to regulations, Fengzhou has five thousand soldiers and horses. Let's go this way. I'll ask the army and I should be able to recruit a dozen of them for you. If there are more, it will be difficult."
Xiao Jingxuan quickly picked up the bowl, toasted Qin Feng, and said happily: "Thank you first, Brother Qin."
Immediately afterwards, the two chatted for a while and did not end until they finished drinking.
After Xiao Jingxuan said goodbye to Qin Feng, he returned to his home. It was not enough to have more than a dozen people, he had to find a way.
The next day, Qin Feng brought more than a dozen people to Jamel Xiao’s residence.
After some pleasantries, Qin Feng began to introduce.
"Brother, these five are from Zuoying, Lei Ben, Xiao Ran, Zhang Kui, Li Biao, and He Shaodong."
Xiao Jingxuan quickly raised his hands and said: "Brothers, please be polite."
"These three people are from Youying, brothers Zhang Wenli, Zhang Wenming, and Hu Zhihao."
Xiao Jingxuan bowed his hands to the three of them, and then introduced them again. "This is Yuan Xiaofeng, Zhao Keshuang, and Wei Ming from Zhongying."
Xiao Jingxuan bowed his hands to the three people again, and then sat down in the yard facing everyone.
Xiao Jingxuan said in embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, my place is too simple, I have troublesome brothers to sit on the stone steps."
Qin Feng patted Xiao Jingxuan and said: "No need to be polite, they are all men in the military, how can they be so particular."
After chatting with everyone, Xiao Jingxuan raised his difficulties to Qin Feng.
Unexpectedly, Qin Feng said with a smile: "Brother, you haven't done your homework well. Do you know who the new Governor of Longzhou is?"
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan shaking his head, he said a little proudly: "The new governor is Liang Governor Shi Xiaoyan."
Xiao Jingxuan was stunned. At this time, he was not happy because the person coming was his great-uncle. Instead, he was frightened.
With Zhang Sheng, Xiao Yan, and his father as the commander-in-chief of the rear army, Xiao Jingxuan felt like he was being controlled by others like a puppet on strings. Xiao Jingxuan didn't like this feeling very much.
Forced to suppress the surprise in his heart, Xiao Jingxuan forced a smile and said: "Why, what's the use?"
"Brother, you don't understand this. The Governor of Longzhou is your direct superior. Isn't it normal to ask for soldiers and pay?
Besides, as the deputy general of Fengzhou, you do not have the right to directly appoint officials. This requires the governor and the Ministry of War to argue.
Besides, the recruitment of troops is a big problem. Fengzhou fell, and although it has been taken back, everything is still waiting to be done. Where can you recruit people? You have to bow your head when you should. Children who can cry will have milk to drink."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan sighed and said: "This is the only thing we can do now."
In the evening, Xiao Jingxuan took everyone to a tavern, and they had a delicious meal and a drink.
The next day, in the morning, after Xiao Jingxuan finished his exercises, he started playing the powerful Bull Demon Fist in the yard.
Although I have had some experience in the battlefield, I always feel that only the powerful Bull Demon Fist is the most suitable for me. I am invincible and my domineering attitude is exposed.
Xiao Jingxuan began to think about the positions of several people in the yard. Whether it was Zuoying or others, Xiao Jingxuan was not very familiar with it. After all, he did not have much time in the army.
But fortunately, none of them have high positions, the tallest one is only a few years old, and the ones in the middle camp don't even have positions.
After thinking about it, Xiao Jingxuan planned to let them serve as team leaders first, and then use them according to their talents after they got familiar with them.
When drinking yesterday, Xiao Jingxuan learned that Xiao Yan was now in Yanzhou. After thinking about it, Xiao Jingxuan decided to go to Yanzhou to meet Xiao Yan.
He went to Zuo Xiaowei to borrow a horse from Qin Feng, and after asking for directions, he set off towards Yanzhou.
Nowadays, horses are very expensive. With Xiao Jingxuan’s financial resources, he cannot afford them at all. He is at the stage where he cannot afford to buy them.
Lingzhou is almost four hundred miles away from Yanzhou. Xiao Jingxuan only arrived in Yanzhou the next day.
After arriving in Yanzhou, Xiao Jingxuan found the commander-in-chief's mansion and met the coach Xiao Yan.
Xiao Jingxuan had met this uncle before during clan sacrifices. Although he had not interacted with him before, he was still familiar.
Looking at the boy kneeling on the ground and respectfully calling him handsome, Xiao Yan just said lightly: "What do you think about this trip?"
"This is a blood feud that will never be easy."
Xiao Yan nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said, "Follow me."
After saying that, he took Xiao Jingxuan to the camp. Looking at the cavalry training on the school field, Xiao Yan said proudly: "Look, this is the foundation of the Duke of Liang's Mansion, and this is the world-famous Liangzhou Cavalry."
Xiao Jingxuan was still very shocked. This is what the Duke's Mansion relies on.
"My Xiao family has guarded Liangzhou for generations, and the Liangzhou cavalry has always been firmly controlled by our Xiao family. However, although your father is the leader of the Xiao family, he is indeed the sinner of our Xiao family."
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan, he continued: "The Xiao family has declined in the hands of your father. As the Duke of Liang, he cannot hold a sword or a gun. As the helmsman of the Xiao family, he has also lost his position as the governor of Liangzhou. However,
, and he has two wonderful sons.”
After speaking, he pointed to the people around him and said: "Bang the drum and gather the troops."
Following Xiao Yan's order, the horn for gathering troops sounded.
Xiao Yan took Xiao Jingxuan's hand and slowly walked up to the general stage.
After a while, the cavalry was finished.
Xiao Yan pointed at the cavalry in the audience and said: "Jingxuan, this is the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry Po Barracks and the Seven Kills Battalion. In Liangzhou, there are also the Greedy Wolf, Fierce Tiger, and Jianrui Battalions. This is the last of my Xiao family.
rely on."
After saying that, he pulled out the sword in his hand and shouted to the people in the school field: "Soldiers, starting today, you welcome your young master, the one you have been loyal to for generations."
After saying that, he raised the sword in his hand high, and all the Liangzhou cavalry followed suit and drew out their swords.
Xiao Yan knelt down in front of Xiao Jingxuan in the school grounds in front of everyone, inserted the sword into the scabbard and handed it over with both hands.
Really, Xiao Jingxuan was stunned. Looking at his uncle, a battlefield veteran who was over sixty years old, huge waves arose in his heart.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Jingxuan took his uncle's sword and raised it above his head.
"The young master is mighty, the young master is mighty..."
The power of tens of thousands of people shocked and fascinated Xiao Jingxuan.
After a while, after the shouting stopped, Xiao Yan asked Xiao Jingxuan again for instructions and then disbanded the troops.
The two returned to the commander's tent and faced Xiao Jingxuan's question. Xiao Yan thought for a while and said: "The specific reasons will be told to you by the Guoguo Guilin after you return to Beijing. However, you can treat it as a dispute over inheritance. Your eldest brother Xiao Jingye
He has arrived in Liangzhou, and in the future, he will be the governor of Liangzhou. Do you understand?"
"No, I don't understand, it's too unreasonable." Xiao Jingxuan muttered quietly.
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at Xiao Jingxuan, pretending not to hear, and continued: "According to regulations, Fengzhou City has six thousand soldiers. I will give you a hundred, and you will recruit the rest yourself. As for the officers at all levels, make a list, and I will
Will be approved.
Later you go to the military camp to select people, and if you are selected, I will transfer them to your command. As for the ordnance, food, grass and baggage, I will allocate them to you after I return to Longzhou.
Retreat, I hope you can win this fight so that my Xiao family can get back everything we have lost."
