Five Immortals Gate

After hearing this, Li Yan glanced at Li Yu and Li Shan and said, "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 taken, and there were so many casualties. The enemy soldiers should have been wary of Marshal Hong, and they must have known that unless the leader was changed, there might be a chance to invade, or there was a natural disaster or from inside the city. It is possible to break through, but Marshal Hong and his counselors have already thought of this. They are all experienced in the battlefield, so they should not 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. Meng Guo had not sent a large army to Qingshan Pass in the past year or so, but occasionally there were still small groups of cavalry harassing and attacking. But being able to say these things clearly shows that this child is mature and not as ill-considered as some other teenagers.

"This little brother, what you said is absolutely true. We, Marshal Hong and Ji Junshi, are fierce generals and talented people in this 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 the 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, presumably the leader of the team.

It was this person who spoke 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 from his body, and he was wearing coarse clothes, but he was not a wealthy young man. If he were one of those young men, he wouldn't be surprised. I often talk about these events, and it’s not unusual for me to imitate them after hearing them. As for the north gate they were guarding today, the visitors were usually villagers from the area under their jurisdiction or people running business within the dynasty. Those princes from the dynasty would not come here to play in recent years. After all, some things are still unsafe. Unexpected. Looking at Li Yan's attire, 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

\u003c/di\u003e

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 hard. In fact, everyone in the village is acquaintances and they are rural farmers, so there are still a lot of vulgar words to each other. But the old scholar was very strict in disciplining the young people like them. 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 didn't say much more. Then he turned to Li Guoxin and asked, "What are you doing in the city at this time?"

Li Guoxin had already pulled up the carriage and came to the man who looked like the leader. He respectfully replied, "Reporting to the army, 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 to bring a few young people to the city to be apprentices and join the army."

The man who looked like a team leader took the guide, looked at it, nodded and said, "It is indeed correct."

After hearing 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, he is the only one who has joined the army. The other two are all 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. We, Marshal Hong, attach great importance to people who are resourceful and talented. 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 already the second day. This barracks is recruiting very quickly. It is estimated that they will be recruited today."

Full. After all, the Guards are considered a logistics department, they rarely get 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 the Zhan Bing Battalion. We must not 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, so he just said, "Captain Liu, if you are lucky enough to enter the barracks, please give me your instructions whenever you need help."

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 it into his arms. He thanked him 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 up 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?"

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." As if they had taken the head of their deputy marshal in the midst of thousands of troops, Marshal Hong now had the final say on many things, and in the past two years, Ji Junshi would personally do it every time he enlisted in the army. Go to the school grounds and test the registered soldiers one by one, especially those who have studied. " Speaking of this, he also looked strange. After all, every time he enlists in the army, although the number of applicants is limited, since the recruitment was launched. After subsidizing the expenses for the family in advance, there were still dozens to hundreds each time, but even so, the Third Army Division also tested the physical fitness of each applicant one by one, although it was later changed by everyone.

\u003c/di\u003e

We all know that, but every time I think about it, it’s a lot of work for a person to test their 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 appearance 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 could learn this martial arts, Then you can go anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, our barracks have been tested by Mr. Ji, and so far no one can catch his eye. But I heard that Mr. Ji selected one from a small team in 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 doesn't stand out. He is usually familiar with only a few people around him, including the team leader directly under 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 meridians, something went wrong while he was practicing his internal skills. He went crazy and died. Some people said they saw his whole body swollen and blackened. It's very scary, but it 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 soldiers with dissatisfaction 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 to "yes, yes, yes", and then 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 smile on his dark face and said, "This is not necessarily true. I just think this guy has some insights, which shows that he is not stupid. From his conversation behind him, it seems that those who should have read the book should just take it as a casual reminder. Is there any chance?" ? Maybe it’s true. If I meet someone like this again, I might still say okay, just keep on duty.”

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.
