Chapter 5 Spectating the Battle

Snow has fallen on the grassland, but it has not yet reached the point of the white plague, and in another month, the road will be closed by heavy snow, so this is the last trip of the year, and if you want to return, you will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year at the earliest.

However, compared with the grasslands in summer and autumn, the road is still difficult, and it is more than 100 miles a day. Along the way, Yan Qing always looked worried about Zhong Zhong, I don't know what she was worried about, but Li Xuandu vaguely guessed everything, it should be related to Li Xuandu and Taiping Sect, now the world knows that Li Xuandu is the suzerain of Taiping Sect, that is, the big owner of Taiping Qianzhuang, and Yan Qing owes Taiping Qianzhuang debts, she should hope that this Qin Gongzi can say something to Li Xuandu and give her some time. It seems that this Miss Yan also understands that the catastrophe for their family is just a sentence in the big shots. However, after she heard that this Qin Gongzi just glanced at Li Xuandu from a distance, she knew that this Qin Gongzi was not the core disciple of the Qin family, and she was speechless in front of Li Xuandu, so she was naturally disappointed.

On the contrary, it was Zhang Wendu, who was used to licking blood from the knife, and he looked down on life and death, but he was quite relaxed, and occasionally chatted with Li Xuandu. Li Xuandu is not a newcomer, so he naturally heard a little tentative from Zhang Wendu's words, probably asking about something related to the Qin family, although Li Xuandu is not a real child of the Qin family, but he is the son-in-law of the Qin family, and he also responds freely, so that Zhang Wendu's suspicions are completely relieved.

Of course, Li Xuandu and Qin Su have not officially decided to marry, but they have only made a verbal decision, and the two elders agreed. If you really want to follow the etiquette, Li Xuan has to invite the elders to go to the Qin family to make a decision, and it will be divided into two parts. The first time was when the female elders on Li Xuandu's side came to the Qin family to settle a family affair, also known as "Xiaoding". The second time was when Li Xuandu gave a dowry gift and set a wedding date, which was a "big decision". Li Xuandu's only female elder is Li Feiyan, who will go north to Liaodong during the month of Layue and marry two juniors with Qin Qing. Then Zhang Haishi and others prepared the dowry, with the face of the two families, not to mention spending more than 100,000 silver, and finally Li Xuandu personally took people to the Qin family to be hired, and set an auspicious date for marriage, which is considered a "big decision". After these two ritual procedures, Li Xuandu and Qin Su can be regarded as truly deciding on a family matter, and Li Xuan can call Qin Su a wife who has not passed through the door.

Fortunately, "Xiaoding" does not need Li Xuandu and Qin Su to come forward, the key lies in the two patriarchs, so it doesn't matter if Li Xuandu is not in Liaodong, he has already sent letters to Li Feiyan and Zhang Haishi respectively, asking the two to prepare their own marriage matters, and by the time of "Dading", he has already returned from Liaodong, and he only needs to come to the door to hire.

"Xiaoding" is good to say, "Dading" will invite many relatives, guests, and friends to gather together, with the status of the Qin family, Li Xuandu has traveled extensively, and it is also a grand event, and the guests of various sects, Liaodong Haoqiang, and the military and political dignitaries of the Governor's Mansion, no matter whose face they see, they must send a congratulatory gift. When it comes to getting married, it is a big banquet of guests and friends, and friends from all over the world can come to congratulate them, which will not be inferior to the marriage of Yan Feiqing and Su Yuncheng. Qin Su is extremely impatient with this kind of thing, according to her thoughts, the two of them bow three times, and they will get married, who knows that there are so many twists and turns

, I wanted to propose that everything be simple, but I was refuted by Qin Daoyuan, and there was no room for negotiation, after all, it was an elder and a serious rule, and Qin Su could only obediently approve it.

Zhang Wenyu saw that Li Xuan was a little distracted, and asked out loud, "What is Gongzi Qin thinking?"

Li Xuandu came back to his senses and laughed softly: "Uncle set a family affair for me before he died, if nothing else, he will come to the door to propose marriage after returning from the Golden Horde." ”

After Zhang Wendu's words were heard, his heart sank: "Whether it is going out to fight, or going to business, most of the people who plan to get married when they come back will not be able to come back." ”

However, he didn't show anything on his face, and said with a smile: "Then I have to congratulate Gongzi Qin in advance." I don't know which girl it is?"

Li Xuandu said with a smile: "The surname is Bai, and he said that he is the right person, but he can't hide it from Brother Zhang, our house is in the middle of the family after all, and there is only an empty name left." So in this way, I still climb a little higher. Fortunately, people don't dislike me, and they don't let me get into trouble. ”

Zhang Wenyun praised: "It's the blessing of Gongzi Qin, but then again, Gongzi Qin will do something sooner or later, and that white girl's vision is also excellent." ”

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Thanks to Brother Zhang's auspicious words." ”

Between talking and laughing, it was evening. The caravan chose the address, set up camp, everything was in order, and Li Xuandu didn't need to bother more. Because this place is not far from Dry Sheep Town, and there are Liaodong Iron Cavalry stationed around Dry Sheep Town, few horse thieves dare to go deep into this place, and they don't have to worry about horse thieves attacking at night.

In winter, the days were short and the nights were long, and soon it was dark, and Li Xuandu quietly left his tent and rushed to the northeast. According to Jing Xiu's speculation, there will be a war breaking out here, and the specific time is within two or three days, Li Xuan plans to try his luck, he can see the best, and he doesn't force it if he can't see it.

Li Xuandu used the cultivation of the immeasurable realm of heaven and man to resist the wind, and only came to the predetermined place in half an hour.

The wind is howling, and at night, it can be said that the water is dripping into ice, Li Xuandu stood on a hill and looked at the flat river under his feet, motionless, as if he had been integrated with this heaven and earth, although he had not hidden his figure, but it would not attract the slightest attention of others, this is the mystery of the realm of heaven and man.

Li Xuandu's luck was good, when a touch of dark blue surged at the end of the sky, there were many faint figures in the distance who were running quickly. These men had never ridden horses, but they were walking on foot, but they were not inferior to horses galloping, which was very impressive. At this time, it is the coldest time of the day, almost to the point where the breath turns into ice, in this case, the person who can still persist in fighting must have a good cultivation and can resist the cold with the qi in his body.

The Great Wei Dynasty implemented the system of health centers, setting up two levels of guards and offices throughout the country, and soldiers setting up military households. However, since Emperor Sejong, in addition to this orthodox regulation, there has also been a family system. The so-called family is a person who is not registered in the military under the jurisdiction of the general, and is a private soldier used by the commander to defend himself against the enemy, and is completely dependent on the commander.

One of the major features of the Great Wei system's guard system was the integration of soldiers and civilians, and soldiers had to carry out affairs

Farming, which feeds the army with the income from cultivating the land. However, with the annexation of a large number of lands, including military tun official fields, this caused some soldiers to lose their livelihoods, and the exiled soldiers attached themselves to the generals and became private soldiers. In this case, the guard system was bound to decline, and at the same time, with the change of the Great Wei service system, the guard system gradually changed to the conscription system. The recruitment of family members is not restricted, so family members have been recruited in large numbers with the development of the conscription system, which is also an important source of family members.

Great Wei in order to resist the Golden Horde, set up heavy troops in Liaodong, since the Ming Dynasty, the army is scattered, the strength is weak, it is difficult to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, the pressure on the northern border is huge, in order to guard the frontier, successive governors of Liaodong began to vigorously develop the family system. The overall combat power of the family is very strong, is the mainstay of the army, plays an important role in consolidating the border defense, when Qin Xiang recovered Liangzhou, Qinzhou, the family Ding also made an unbreakable contribution. The family was controlled by generals rather than the imperial court, which also led to the successive growth of governors in various places.

At this time, those who can still march and fight are naturally the Jiading in the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, these Jiading are not inferior to the Jianghu martial arts, and even because they are proficient in the way of military formation, they are even better than the stragglers and brave Jianghu warriors, which is extremely powerful.

Soon, the opponents of these families also appeared, a group of strangely dressed Golden Horde men, who also did not ride horses, but were more numerous, and met the elite family members.

Although there are only hundreds of people in these families, they are all in armor, in addition to long weapons, they also carry shields, bows, crossbows, firecrackers and other things, which can add up to hundreds of catties, but they are not difficult, and they advance quickly after arranging in formation, what makes Li Xuandu feel even more amazing is that the pace, movements, and ups and downs of these family members are like one person, and even the breathing and breathing are also consistent, which is a difficult thing for Jianghu martial artists to do.

Soon, the two soldiers were engaged. Hundreds of families immediately divided into countless small formations. With eleven people as a group, eleven people's qi and machine are connected into one, advancing and retreating together, and the first two people hold a long card and a rattan card. The long player holds a long shield to block arrows and spears, and the rattan player holds a light rattan shield with a javelin and waist knife, and the long player and the rattan player mainly cover the rear team to advance, and the rattan player can also fight with the enemy in close combat in addition to covering. The two of them are holding the wolf whisk, the wolf whisk is shaped like a spear, the tip is obliquely sharpened, and there are sharp branches around it, each wolf whisk is about a zhang long, and the wolf whisk uses the sharp blade at the front end of the wolf whisk to assassinate the enemy to cover the advance of the shield hand and the attack of the spearman behind. Then there were four spearmen with spears, two on the left and two on the right, and the shieldmen and wolf-bearers on the left and right in front of them. This was followed by two soldiers armed with boring palladium to serve as guards and support. If the enemy attacks in a roundabout way, the short soldier will rush forward with a short knife to slash the enemy. The division of labor of various weapons is clear, and orders and prohibitions are enforced.

Li Xuandu was shocked to see it, although the leaders of these families have the cultivation of the Xuanyuan Realm, and most of the ordinary families only have the cultivation of the Dan Realm and the Divine Realm, but even if they are the masters of the Innate Realm on the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that they will suffer a big loss, and even have the worry of death. Even if he is a master of the True Realm, in the face of a siege of hundreds of people, I am afraid it will be difficult to win. The masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm are not afraid, but there are only a few Great Masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm in the entire rivers and lakes?
