After arranging some trivial matters, Zhao Xi asked, "What action does Sima Yun have?" ”

Li Luobei said: "Now it is rumored in Yanzhou that Lord Su has been assassinated and has begun to take over the duties of Lord Su. ”

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "This is not good news, it seems that the action is going to be accelerated, and in five days, enter Yanzhou." ”

"Isn't it necessary to have an order from the governor for the generals of the governor's mansion to take over the duties of their colleagues?"

Zhao Xi shook his head when he heard this, these people can still fight small battles, but they are too far away from the overall situation and strategy. "As long as Sima Yun is in charge of the army in various places on the grounds that the northern Yan is attacking and disturbing and he wants to prepare for war with all his might, he will temporarily take charge of the local government armies and wait for the imperial court to appoint him in the future. Besides, Yanzhou only has 5,000 Longxiang troops stationed, but they have to guard the entire Yanzhou, and they can't wait for someone to integrate their forces and help them. Uncle Luobei, is it also rumored that Yanzhou is about to come in? ”

Li Luobei looked at Zhao Yi in surprise, and said in surprise: "That's true, it is said that the northeast of Yanzhou was attacked by the Yan Dynasty, and now the people from all over Yanzhou have abandoned their homes and fled for their lives in the county seat. ”

Zhao Di's face changed when he heard this, and he said fiercely: "This Sima Yun is really damned!" Prepare and act in five days. ”

After everyone left, Li Ruolan stomped her foot fiercely and said angrily to her father: "Daddy, why are you so low-voiced, what do they mean, we have already taken refuge in them, what do they want?" That Li Lingfeng is obviously aimed at you! ”

Li Luobei touched his daughter's little head and said with a smile: "They didn't deliberately target me, but our strength occupies too much here, and they want to eliminate my influence on my subordinates." Lan'er, you have to remember that a faction can only have one leader! So, you can't be as unscrupulous as you used to be. Although Zhao Yi is young, I look at his people, and I dare not say that he will be crowned king and worship the prime minister in the future, but it is still possible to be an official, and now he has a line with the Yanzhou soldiers and horses, and he will ...... in the future It's hard to say...... Let's talk about you, you don't have a girl's personality all over your body, you don't have the same personality as before, no big or small, others can tolerate you once or twice depending on your identity as a woman, but after a long time, others will get bored. ”

"You are also not young, ordinary people are as old as you have already married and had children, your father is the only thing I can't rest assured about now is you, don't dance knives and guns all day long, learn to be a girl, and find a good family in the future."

Li Ruolan listened to her father's words, did not argue, and thought about something silently.

"Mother, this is to protect you in the future. Li'er and Xin'er's chief guard, Sima Yan! Zhao Yan said to his mother with Sima Yan.

"Subordinate Sima Yan has seen Madame, two young ladies!"

"Good! Good! Hurry up. When Mother Zhao heard this, her face changed for a moment, and she hurriedly said, "Xi'er, are you going to go far away again?" Zhao's mother, who knew her son well, still guessed some of the meaning of Zhao Xi's move.

After letting Sima Yan retreat, Zhao Yi said: "The child is going to Yanzhou, but the child will definitely be careful and will not let you worry." ”

"To Yanzhou? It's a long way off. Alas...... When you grow up, you can make your own decisions about these things, be careful, you are the only relative alive. As he spoke, tears flowed out.

Looking at his mother's worried face, Zhao Yi hurriedly took his mother's hand and comforted: "Mother, don't worry." This time I'm not going to fight, maybe someone will pick you up soon. ”

"By the way, how are you and Li'er doing?" Mother Zhao suddenly asked.

Zhao Yi said embarrassedly: "What's wrong?" ”

Mother Zhao smiled: "Now that they say that Li'er is your wife, why are you still pretending to be confused?" ”

"What do you think?"

Mother Zhao put away her smile and sighed: "Li'er is a good girl, but his mother died on my behalf because of our involvement, I don't know what she will think if she knows about this?" I hope you can be together, after all, I have lived with her for the past four years, and I like her a lot. Although she is as docile as water, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see it when the time comes. ”

Zhao Di's face froze, and then said, "I'll explain the situation to Li'er, see what she thinks?" Let it be! "Seriously, he has been in this world for several years, and he has always thought about men and women, but he really likes this docile woman. But as he said, if Li'er blames and resents herself, it can only be said that she has nothing to do with her. After all, her mother died for her mother.

Mother Zhao looked at the departing Zhao Yi and couldn't help sighing.

When I came to Li'er's house, I heard Li'er and Xin'er talking about something in the house, and I couldn't help but stop. I don't know how to speak, and I don't know how Rei Er will react.

"Alas! Annoying! Zhao Yi scratched his head and sighed involuntarily.

"Who is it? Who's out there? Xu Qinlian, who was talking to Xin'er, suddenly heard a voice outside and hurriedly asked.

Zhao Yi pushed open the door and said, "It's me!" ”

"Brother Xi'er, I'm talking to Sister Li'er about riding a horse! I'm going to teach Sister Li'er to ride a horse too, and someone will accompany me in the future. Xin'er saw Zhao Yi coming in and said in a chatter.

"What's wrong? What's the matter? Seeing Zhao Xian's unnatural face, Xu Qinlian put down the female worker in her hand, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Xian, and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yi opened his mouth, didn't speak for a long time, picked up the teacup and took a sip of it. Seeing this situation, even the twelve-year-old Xin'er realized that something was wrong, and quickly sat down quietly.

Xu Qin saw that Zhao Xi did not speak, nor did he urge, and added some tea to the teacup in Zhao Xi's hand, and looked at Zhao Xi with a smile.

Looking at Xu Qinlian's smiling face, Zhao Xian was heartbroken, and said with a wry smile: "Li'er, I have something to tell you, don't be angry when you hear it." ”

Xu Qinlian's smile stiffened slightly, and he said calmly: "Cousin, you can say it." ”

"It's about...... About your mother! Your mother ......"

"Cousin, you don't have to say it! I already know that! Xu Qinlian heard what Zhao Xi said, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he interrupted Zhao Xi's words.

"What? You got it. What do you know? Zhao Xi hurriedly put down the cup and asked quickly.

Xu Qinlian said with a touch of sadness: "It's my mother who has passed away in my cousin's house." ”

"That's it?"

"I also know the rest, the jade bracelet that my aunt gave me when we met was left to me by my mother, and it can be opened inside, and I found the last words left by my mother inside, and I also know what happened?"

Zhao Yi said embarrassedly: "In this way, you and your brother actually know everything, do you blame me?" ”

Xu Qin smiled bitterly and said, "What do we blame you for?" If it weren't for your father, we would have starved to death that day, and three lives would have been earned in exchange for one. It's just that when my mother died, I wasn't around, and I didn't see her body. ”

Zhao Yi looked at Xu Qinlian's eyes with mist, pulled her over with pity, hugged her in his arms, and said in her ear: "Li'er, from today on, I will protect you, and I will never make you sad again." Would you like to? ”

Xu Qinlian was suddenly held in Zhao Xian's arms, his heart jumped, and when he heard Zhao Xian's words, his face was red and about to drip blood, and he said softly: "Hmm! ”

"Wow! What are you doing? The two mandarin ducks were startled, Xu Qinlian hurriedly broke free from Zhao Xi's embrace, wiped the tears on his face, and sat on the chair with a red face.

"You little girl!" solved the matter of Li'er, which made Zhao Xun extremely happy, and patted the little girl's little head with a smile.

"By the way, in five days, I will go to Yanzhou, you stay here, listen to Uncle Li, don't run around, especially Xin'er, don't be mischievous."

"What? Are you going to Yanzhou? Hearing this, Xu Qin asked worriedly.

"Well, when I'm settled there, I'll send someone to pick you up, don't worry, there will be a lot of people going with me."

"Be careful, I've made you a few sets of clothes here, you bring them!" As he spoke, he took out a stack of clothes from the back room and handed it to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi looked at the clothes in his hand, moved and happy.

Three days later, Zhao Yi and all the sentinels gathered together to discuss the reorganization of the soldiers. As for Zhao Xiong and Situ Liang, they had taken down the gang of horse bandits as early as a day ago.

"My lord, the whole army is 1,730 men, and there are 1,200 horses. After the reorganization, there are 100 people in the personal guards, 100 people in the military justice team, and the remaining 1,500 people are divided into ten sentinels and five sentinel cavalry, and most of them can only be regarded as cavalry infantry for the time being. Five sentinel foot soldiers, one of which is armoured. Li Lingfeng took the lead in replying, and handed the list to Zhao Yi after speaking.

Zhao Xi took a general look and found that the two forces of Wohu Mountain and Li Luobei were soft together, and he couldn't help nodding secretly.

"Very good, Zhao Fei is in charge of the military justice team. The first sentinel chief and deputy sentinel chief are Li Chenfeng and Tang Niu, and the second sentinel Li Lingfeng and Zhao Kang; Three sentinels Zhao Xiong, He Fang; Four whistles, Li Luobei, Zhao Jie; Five whistles, Zhao Lin, Xiao Changshan; Liushao Lin Luo, Zhao Ning; Seven Whistles Luo Li, Zhao Mang; Eight whistles Feng Meng, Zhao Hai, nine whistles Ma Yu, Xu He, ten whistles Duan Yan, Wu An. The team leaders and deputies of each team are different, one has a meritorious soldier, and one has a team of non-commissioned soldiers. The first five posts are foot soldiers, and the last five posts are cavalry pawns. The pro-guard team was commanded by Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Shun (Shunzi, who later followed Zhao Xi's surname). This time I went to Yanzhou, 24680 posts, with me, the rest stayed behind, continued to operate the area of Wohu Mountain, and each post first provided horses to the soldiers who followed me. Horses, grain, and iron tools needed to be accumulated here, and the surrounding villages and towns were trained to combat the bandits, and at the same time, to develop farming in the surrounding villages and towns. The remaining posts are combined into a battalion, the number of the mountain word battalion, the intention is to stick to the mountain, with Li Chenfeng as the main Zhao Xiong as the deputy! ”

"My lord, do we need a name? The rebel armies everywhere have names, like the most famous under the command of the governor of Youzhou, the Iron Cavalry. Li Lingfeng said.

"Also, you can't have a name, what do you say it's called?"

"Crouching Tiger Army" and "Tiger Army" ...... The crowd came up with the name they came up with.

"Fire Lin Army! The adults are wearing fire unicorns, and the soldiers are also flame cloaks, so how about calling them the fire lin army? Situ Liang said.

"Okay, let's call it Huolin Army! We immediately changed the clothes and cloaks of the soldiers, and for half a month, the clothes and cloaks made were enough for all the soldiers. The commanders of each sentry are temporary, and they will be transferred according to merit in the future, and those who are capable will go up and those who are weak will go down. The departments are ready to set off in two days. ”
