Compared with Old Man Ye's birthday banquet, it is a big deal for Chong Heng to lead his troops out of Beijing.

Fang Cai and Ye Mao were sparring, largely to make the old man happy, and now that the two of them sat down to talk, they were down to business.

Old Man Ye was half-lying on the recliner, and after being silent for a while, he spoke: "According to the time calculation, this batch of things can be sent to Yunzhou City in two months at most." ”

"At that time, it should be summer, and the combat strength of the plantation army is maintaining well, and it should start fighting soon."

Li Xin sat next to Ye Sheng, rubbing his aching shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master Ye thinks, what is the result of the real fight?" ”

"It depends on the attitude of the Yuwen Tribe."

Old man Ye was confident, and said lightly: "At this time, the imperial court will go to the north without a head, once the fight starts, most of the Yuwen tribes will be confused, and they don't know what the imperial court is going to do. ”

Speaking of this, the Great Jin God of War slowly exhaled.

"Today's Yuwen tribes, the combat power should be better than forty years ago, forty years ago, the Yuwen clan was a royal family, and some of those surnamed Yuwen royal families couldn't even ride horses, and they were as comfortable as stupid pigs."

"But now forty years have passed, there are at least two more generations of Yuwen Zhubu, even if they were born after the destruction of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they are already forty years old, these people have not enjoyed happiness, nor have they been the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they were born on the grassland, and they should have more or less recovered some of their ancestors' demeanor."

Speaking of this, Ye Sheng did not continue.

The reason why the Northern Zhou Dynasty was able to establish a country in the north for more than 100 years, and even became the most powerful country in the world, is naturally because they were already very powerful, more than a hundred years ago, the Xianbei Yuwen clan went south, and the mighty Xianbei iron cavalry swept the north in one fell swoop, and almost crossed the natural danger, and included the Jin Kingdom in the south into the territory.

It's just that a few attacks were dangerously defended by the Jin State that was in the south at that time, and a few generations later, the Yuwen clan also extinguished the idea of going south.

But in any case, the Jin Kingdom back then was indeed trembling for many years under the obscenity of the Northern Zhou Iron Cavalry, and for today's Great Jin, this is not a very glorious thing, so few people mention this past.

Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, and then spoke: "Master Ye is so optimistic about the Yuwen Clan, which has been decaying for many years? ”

Old Man Ye shook his head slowly.

"You haven't seen the power of the Yuwen Iron Horse."

The old man's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "When the old man first joined the army, the north side of the Great Jin Dynasty has been struggling to support the attack of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. ”

"The riding ...... of those Xianbei people"

Old man Ye slowly exhaled: "It's really amazing, they are naturally good at riding and shooting, which is very obvious in the grassland in the north." ”

"Don't look at the fact that all the armies of the Great Jin Dynasty have some cavalry now, they all look like they all look like cavalry, but until the Chengde period, most of the horsemen in the various armies of the Great Jin Dynasty are still the cavalry of the Northern Zhou army in the past, and the riding skills of those people are more than one grade stronger than the cavalry of my Great Jin Dynasty."

Li Xin is clear about this.

You must know that even Yu Linwei, who is known as the Son of Heaven's Guard, nine out of ten people can't ride a horse, and when Li Xin first learned to ride a horse, a layer of skin was worn off the inner thigh, and he suffered a lot.

But those nomads are very different, even if they are three-year-old children, riding horses is like drinking water, and many women among the Xianbei people are better than many cavalry soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty.

This ability is no longer useful in the era of hot weapons, but in this era, it is a big killing weapon.

Li Xin frowned slightly.

Originally, he was still very confident in the Seed Family Army, but when Old Man Ye said this, he muttered something in his heart.

If the farmer overturns in this matter, then the northern Xinjiang will not be peaceful from now on......

Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin, and then said with a smile: "But I don't have to worry about the seed family, the seed family is very good at managing the army and leading the troops, there will be no big incident in Yunzhou City, let's just watch quietly in the capital." ”

Li Xin lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then looked up at Old Man Ye and said with a smile: "Master Ye, when your old man finishes his birthday, you can send Ye Mao to Jimen Gate and ask him to help Senior Brother Ye." ”

Ye Sheng frowned.

"Why?"

Ye Mao is the third-generation heir of the Ye family designated by Old Man Ye, and it is also the foundation of the Ye family in the capital now, the last time he sent Ye Mao to the southwest, it was already a very risky act, and now he wants to send him to the northern Xinjiang, Old Man Ye is obviously a little reluctant in his heart.

The Marquis of Jing'an's face was solemn: "As Master Ye said, even if the seed army is fighting, it is impossible to compete for all the merits, and when the time comes, the main attack should still be the Zhenbei Army in Jimen Pass, Senior Brother Ye He is also old, Senior Brother Xiao Ye has returned to Beijing again, and the disciple thinks that the Zhenbei Army needs the second Ye family." ”

Old man Ye was silent for a long time.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "This matter is not small, the old man has to write a letter to the boss to communicate first." ”

Of course, the titular Guogong of Chen Guogong's Mansion is still Ye Sheng, but since this old man "retired" more than ten years ago, he actually doesn't interfere much in the affairs of the court, and since that time, the big and small things of the Ye family are actually done by Ye Ming.

That Ye Shaobao is the head of the Ye family, and Ye Sheng, an old man, is no longer responsible for specific affairs, at best, he can only be regarded as a very decent mascot.

Although Old Man Ye looks very arrogant on weekdays, he is a very reasonable person, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he will still ask his eldest son's opinion and will not make decisions without permission.

When Li Xin heard this, he smiled and said, "It is also appropriate to ask Senior Brother Ye." ”

After the master and apprentice chatted a few words, Ye Sheng suddenly sat up from the recliner, coughed lightly, and said, "Chang'an, the old man has something to ask you. ”

Marquis of Jing'an said with a smile: "Master Ye, you said. ”

Old Man Ye hesitated for a moment, and then looked directly at Li Xin.

"When are you going to the north?"

Li Xin was stunned and said: "Master Ye's disciple doesn't understand this, the disciple is a military secretary, and he is not a general, even if there is a fight in the north, it has nothing to do with the disciple." ”

He smiled and said, "Even the errand disciple of the forbidden army has resigned, and now the disciple is a civil official, and he can't do anything like a gun or a stick." ”

Old man Ye looked at Li Xin and pursed his lips with some disdain.

"You kid can't pee in the same pot as those bird civil officials, otherwise you wouldn't have been without taking care of the errands of the military department for five years."

The old man stretched and lay back on the chaise longe.

"If you give someone else to be the secretary of the Ministry of War, you will probably have to stay in the Yamen of the Ministry of War every day to deal with things, where can you be like you, and you will be idle for five years."

Speaking of this, Old Man Ye said in a firm voice.

"Look, once the farmer doesn't get a benefit this time, you should have to leave Beijing soon."

Ye Sheng smiled.

"You are so capable, when the Son of Heaven is helpless, he will naturally think of you,"
