When Liu Yanqing heard this, his face sank slightly, and he said with a smile: "If you have something to say, the old man regards you as a confidant, and you don't have to hide it." ”

When Deng Yun heard this, his heart tightened, and he said: "At the beginning, there must have been many old thieves and minions who took the opportunity to escape. Then there are the generals sent by the Lord of the Metropolitan Command, who have been gone for half a month. The imperial court has not replied for a long time, and the Lord of the Metropolitan should be more careful. But in case, the imperial court sent an army to attack, and the lord of the capital should first defend the city, and then send people, the old general of the sect and other loyal ministers, to ask them to discuss the strategy. Moreover, Yan Yun's current situation is not stable, if the imperial court is in a hurry to hand over, the capital can first delay, buy time for the last general and others to calm down the chaos before handing over. ”

Deng Yun's eyes were bright, and what he said was exactly what Liu Yanqing had been worried about in recent days. After hearing this, Liu Yanqing was sure in his heart, sighed, and said silently: "Okay." If it turns out as you expect, the old man will act according to your plan. ”

"Also, in recent days, some officers and soldiers in the army have begun to lose their safety and harass the people in the city. Fortunately, General Wang enforced the law impartially, but I think that these days are getting more and more boring, and the army is doing nothing in the city, and sooner or later something will happen. The last general thought that the Lord of the Metropolitan could train the army while having the city wall repaired. I wonder what Lord Totong thinks? Deng Yun Kankan said that before leaving, he seemed to be eager to arrange everything properly and try to solve some hidden dangers.

Liu Yanqing heard this, but he felt that this was the case, and the officers and men in the army would definitely be disgusted, after all, everyone had to fight hard to break through Yanjing, in addition to the rewards they deserved, they did not get the originally scheduled benefits and benefits, and they didn't like it.

Han Shizhong saw the look on Liu Yanqing's face, but he understood what he was like, guessed the probability, and said with a deep face: "The art of war is often said: soldiers must not be indulgent or arrogant. It is easy to be chaotic, and arrogant is easy to be lazy. In addition, military training should not be abandoned for a day, and only after a long period of time can it be refined. The last general thought that what the dragon barbarian said was extremely true. I also hope that the Lord of the Metropolitan will win more! ”

Liu Yanqing listened, and after hesitating for a while, he had a certain idea, and said in a condensed voice: "What you and the others said is reasonable." However, the matter of repairing the city wall is boring and noisy, and it is not of great use for training soldiers and horses, and it can be taught to the Liao prisoners in the city to do it, and only to teach our soldiers to monitor. As for the drill, the old man will inform his soldiers tomorrow and teach him to prepare one by one, plan the place, and make all the arrangements. ”

Deng Yun persuaded Liu Yanqing to teach the soldiers to repair the city wall, but he hoped to alleviate the hatred with the Liao people in the city, not to mention that repairing the city wall has always been a way to train soldiers, and he was anxious and wanted to speak. Liu Yanqing glared, and shouted first: "The old man has made up his mind about this matter, and there is no need to discuss it again!" Dragon Barbarian, you still have a lot of military affairs to do tomorrow, why don't you go back early to rest and recuperate!? ”

Seeing this, Deng Yun sighed secretly, promised in response, finished the salute, cast a look at Han Shizhong, and then retired. Han Shizhong saw Deng Yun go away, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked in a low voice: "Didn't Lord Dutong say something before, when the war is over, he will accept the dragon barbarian as his righteous son?" Now that Yanjing has been broken for nearly half a month, why don't you see Lord Dutong mention this matter, is he worried? ”

Han Shizhong went straight and did not have the slightest scruples. And Liu Yanqing was very important to him, and he knew that what he said was not selfish, so he sighed and said: "At present, the imperial court order has not arrived, and Your Majesty's attitude is still unknown. The old man wanted to wait for the dust to settle before considering the matter. Otherwise, but in case, I am afraid that it will harm the dragon barbarian. ”

When Han Shizhong heard this, he immediately understood in his heart, and his heart surged. Don't look at Liu Yanqing is sometimes extremely harsh on Deng Yun, and whenever the two disagree, Deng Yun is often scolded by Liu Yanqing. But Deng Yun seems to be modest, when the temperament is together, the brute is stronger than anyone else. Therefore, once the two quarreled, they were like sabre-rattling, as if they would not give up, so bitter that Han Shizhong and a group of soldiers wore out their mouths and persuaded each other. This is superficial, but Han Shizhong can see that Liu Yanqing values Deng Yun even more than himself, and he thinks more about him.

Thinking of this, Han Shizhong couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but it was just a flash, and then he smiled: "Hehe." Judging from the end and the future, although Lord Dutong has not yet accepted the dragon barbarian as a righteous son, he has long been cared for as a child under his knees. ”

Liu Yanqing smiled, looked at the direction of Deng Yun's departure, and said with a faint smile: "The one who knows me is none other than Han Juhu." ”

The next day, Deng Yun's dragon barbarian army was already well-trained, and the number of recruits selected was not large, and Deng Yun used veterans to lead recruits, so the recruits quickly integrated into the army. After this half-month exercise, the soldiers and horses of the Dragon Barbarian Army have become familiar. In just one night, all the troops and horses had packed their bags and were ready. Deng Yun ordered all the generals to deploy their own arrangements, and the armies went to assemble and line up.

At this moment, a soldier from outside the camp suddenly arrived on horseback. When Deng Yun saw it, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed to greet him. The soldier pulled the horse and said in a low voice: "The things have arrived outside the camp, the number is three, and I ask General Deng not to publicize it." ”

Deng Yun listened, bowed slightly, and then called a team of soldiers and rushed with the soldiers. When he was young, Deng Yun restrained his horse and saw that the three carts were covered with black cloths. The soldier who led the way turned his head and whispered: "The cannonballs equipped are all inside, and there are ten on each car, and I hope that General Deng will not squander them wantonly." ”

Deng Yun listened, bowed his head heavily, but he didn't think so, he wanted to disassemble this earth-shattering thunder and make it again, or it might indeed stump him, but to make this cannonball, wouldn't it be easy to catch it, as long as the ** in the cannonball was dismantled, and the dosage of various materials in it could be obtained, and Deng Yun could use the knowledge of later generations to greatly improve the power of these cannonballs!

Soon after, the soldier led the soldiers back with him. Deng Yun instructed everyone to carefully push the three carts covered with black cloth back into the camp, and the soldiers who were lining up in various places in the camp couldn't help but be curious and forgot to come, and were immediately reprimanded by the commander in chief. In the army on the southeast corner, a team leader was kicked by Huo Rui and almost burst into the ass, screaming in pain.

Deng Yun ordered the soldiers to put the car in one place first, and then rushed to see Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun only had 200 people under his command, and they were all clever and sensitive people, and they quickly assembled and set up the formation. Deng Yun and Zhao Yun commanded for a while, and handed over the Earthquake Thunder to him to take over. Zhao Yun received the order, that is, he retired with Deng Yun and personally led the troops to rush.

Not long after Zhao Yun went, a flag bearer rushed over and reported that the baggage had arrived. Deng Yun's heart was shocked, and he ordered Ji Qing and Huo Rui to lead their respective subordinates to pick them up. Deng Yun observed the formation of the soldiers and horses in the camp everywhere, and saw that many of them were neat and consistent, only some of the teams had some flaws, but most of these teams were new soldiers, and almost none of the veterans made mistakes, and Deng Yun was also very satisfied with this result. Immediately, Deng Yun ordered the generals to immediately set up the formation of the marching team, and as soon as Deng Yun's order fell, the drums sounded, and the soldiers and horses moved quickly. Yang Zaixing's evil leopard rode in front, the infantry was the Chinese army, and the commander Huo Rui was not there, and Ye Lingfeng temporarily led it. Deng Yun's 'Wind Cavalry' and Ji Qing's 'Divine Arrow Battalion', because neither of them were in the army, they were both led by deputy generals Xu Qing and Han Yu. As for Zhao Yun's 200 scouts, they were scattered throughout the army in a team of ten, receiving orders to exchange information at any time and use them as threads.

When Mo Yue arrived at noon, the troops were full of food and rested, and Liu Yanqing, Han Shizhong and other generals in the army wanted to send them to the camp. With the sound of drums and trumpets, the armies were quickly arranged because of the previous drills, fast but not chaotic, and the formation was particularly neat. Liu Yanqing, Han Shizhong and other generals were amazed, and even those generals who were a little prejudiced against Deng Yun also showed shock.

"Good! Good!! Good!!! In just this half a month, you can train these 6,000 soldiers and horses into an elite department, and the future of this dragon barbarian army is immeasurable! Liu Yanqing laughed and praised endlessly. Deng Yun arched his hand and responded: "Lord Dutong praises falsely, most of the dragon barbarian army are old troops under the command of the last general, and there are not many new soldiers, fortunately, the soldiers in the army are united, assist each other, and lead the new with the old, so the integration is very fast." ”

As soon as Deng Yun's words came out, everyone came to their senses. Han Shizhong smiled in his mouth, but he wrote down Deng Yun's way of training soldiers, and he could follow suit in the future. Immediately, Liu Yanqing and the Long Barbarian army were inspired, so they ordered the army to be raised and sent outside the city with the generals.

Before parting, Deng Yun's face was solemn, and he whispered to Liu Yanqing: "Lord Dutong, if someone comes from the imperial court, you must remember not to go alone." As a last resort, at least bring Brother Han with you! ”

When Liu Yanqing heard this, his face tightened, and he bowed his head slightly. Deng Yun then cast another look at Han Shizhong, Han Shizhong smiled brightly, the two no longer need to talk to each other, they can know each other's intentions. After everything was explained, Deng Yun's face shook and his spirit trembled, so he saluted and said goodbye to the generals, and then turned his horse to look at the army and rushed away.

Liu Yanqing watched with great attention and was reluctant to leave for a long time, until the generals under his command repeatedly came to persuade him, and the dragon barbarian army gradually moved away, and Liu Yanqing led the generals to return.

However, it was said that Deng Yun received Liu Yanqing's order and went to Xinzhou and Wuzhou to pacify the Liao remnants of the rebel party. Although the Dragon Barbarian Army was newly established, the soldiers and soldiers of all the armies did not want to make more meritorious achievements and shake the might of the army. And Deng Yun was also afraid that the Jin people had broken through the mountain and raised troops to attack, so he also wanted to quell the chaos as soon as possible and take precautions quickly. A few days later, when they reached the border of Xinzhou, Deng Yun had always been cautious, so he slowed down the march.

On this day the armies were resting. Zhao Yun led a team of scouts to rush over, and quickly reported: "General! According to my scouts recently investigated, Xinzhou at this time by a Liao general named Yelu Tang Zong, this person is the Liao royal family, although the ability is average, but he is loyal, kind and loves the people, so the people of Xinzhou are willing to listen to his orders, and now he is in the city to gather the remnants of the Liao soldiers around, plus the people in the city have nearly tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, according to the city and guard, not to be underestimated. ”

When Deng Yun heard this, his face changed, and he asked urgently: "How far is it from Xinzhou here?" There are Liao scouts along the road."

"It's at least a dozen miles away, and if you rush overnight, you can get there tonight. As for the scouts, we don't see it, and besides, the defense of the city is not very strict, or Yelu Tang still doesn't know that our army has killed it. ”
