43, third in the world
After artificially sorting out the open space in this valley, it looks quite spacious. After the excess trees were cut off, only rows of wooden piles of varying thickness were left, which were used as temporary horse-training piles for cavalrymen.
Xu Kun got off the horse like Yan Xing and tied his mount to the wooden stake. He did not immediately go to the fine wine of Qin that Yan Xing had plundered, but slowed down and looked around, obviously very interested in Yan Xing's temporary camp.
These days, Yan Xing wandered around, relying on the cover and information from the Dong army, and attacked and plundered several Sanfu's forts. The large piles of wealth and goods obtained were discarded on the road, and seized by the Dong camp cavalry who were chasing him. The food and fodder he intercepted were divided into several batches and finally transferred to this temporary camp.
At the same time, Yan Xing, who had wealth, goods, food and fodder, began to send troops to recruit and eliminate bandits and wanderers wandering in the neighboring mountains and lakes, kill their leaders, collect their strong points, and engulf Ding's mouth, expanding his strength in an explosive manner.
So now, what Xu Kun can see is no longer the embarrassing appearance of Yan Xing, who was less than a hundred soldiers a few days ago.
Xu Kun looked around and found that various tents were built at a level in the valley, and temporary granaries, stables and other facilities were built. On a specially cleared flat, several soldiers wearing armored soldiers kept calling. With the call, nearly ten teams of young and vagrants repeatedly trained the martial arts of spears in the army.
There are also soldiers wearing leather armor and holding spears on the outside of the camp and patrolling teams of militia. In addition, there are many archers in the road along the valley, and the garrisons are often placed. The guards are quite strict. Guards everywhere hide their bodies by relying on plants and trees. The handovers are called by secret numbers. If outsiders enter rashly, it is really difficult to avoid these layers of guards.
Special soldiers guard the granaries, stables and other important places. Judging from the number of deer carts transporting food and fodder outside the granary, the materials are more than the food stored in the warehouse. Although there are not many horses in the stable, they are fed and taken care of by grooms. Xu Kun, who has lived in the army for a long time, listened to the sound of the horses in the stables, and he has already judged that these horses are all good horses with fine feeding and physical strength...
Everything in front of you makes people feel like they are in the valley barracks.
Although Xu Kun had not finished all the valleys, looking at all this in front of him, he remembered his uncle's private evaluation of "Xiao Jie" after seeing this person in the captive camp, and then he remembered Xu Rong's expression and his proud words after returning from Li's military tent.
"Unexpectedly, this person had already been put into Li Ru's tent and was his minion. This time, Li Ru wanted to make a better relationship than me, so he wanted to transfer him into my tent, but he also said bluntly that he would take this person to Liangzhou first, just as he was signaling me to attract this person as his confidant and then stay in our army to show the sincerity of mutual assistance between the two sides!"
"This time, you will go and recruit him again. You just need to bring him back. These things are important and complicated. You can't argue with them. Remember not to cause trouble again!"
The last paragraph was when Xu Kun left, Xu Rong specifically instructed him that the complexity of the matter involved was beyond his original idea. He could not ask too much, nor did he want his nephew to take the initiative to get involved in this complicated and muddy water.
However, when Xu Kun really stood in front of the rebel soldiers who were captured by him more than a month ago, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the changes in this world were so fast!
In the past ten months, the situation changed. The burly man in front of him not only broke free from the shackles of the captives, but also climbed the big tree of Li Zhanjun by chance. He went with the trend and became a witness to the mutual support of the two families. The form was so reversal, I really don’t know what was involved here, and how this man was blowing the fire with the wind and showed his auspiciousness in his death!
Xu Kun turned his head and looked at Yan Xing beside him. At this time, he still chose to forget his uncle's words before leaving. He looked at Yan Xing with a bright look and said with a stern heart:
"I really can't figure out how you can do this in a short period of time?"
Yan Xing smiled and did not answer directly. If it weren't for Dong Jun's secretly opening the door of convenience, he would have really not been able to expand his strength so quickly in a short period of time. But even so, Yan Xing knew that this would not be a lasting solution. Although the soldiers of the county and county in Fufeng were insignificant, there were still tens of thousands of people from Huangfu Song's troops in Huaili. The wood was so beautiful that the wind would destroy it. The other Han troops would never be indifferent to the thieves in the mountains and lakes that appeared under their noses. If it weren't for the exact news from Dong Jun recently, Yan Xing might have taken the men, horses, and rushing away to Liangzhou.
"Yan is not a talent for a Chinese man. Why don't you understand what you do? If it weren't for your uncle and nephew, I, Yan Yan, wouldn't have today? Speaking of which, I, it's still a blessing for you!"
When Xu Kun heard that the former prisoner in front of him was not only out of embarrassment, but also knew a lot about his own affairs. Xu Kun's eyes were full of glory and he sneered:
"You know a lot, so this time you must have known that I have come to promote you as a fake military officer in the army on my uncle's order!"
The military post of the Han army, that is, the military post of the Quhou, was rank of 600 stones. Although Yan Xing was a newcomer and could not be a regular post, he could only try to be a fake military post, but he was already a middle-level military clerk in the army and was absolutely incomparable to the military post who was given privately in the coalition.
Yan Xing did not hide it. He had already learned some inside information through Zhou Liang's channel. He knew that his murder had been resolved. He smiled and nodded and said:
"I still have to thank Captain Xu and Xu Jun for their help!"
"Forget it, if you want to thank Li, thank you. I am just a messenger, what can I thank you!"
Xu Kun waved his hand and pretended that everything had nothing to do with him. He just thought that the tiger lurking his minions would come to his uncle's command to work with him in the future. He thought about the previous relationships between the battlefield fighting, and was still worried after all, and he wanted to test whether the tiger had any evil intentions in his heart.
He sighed, pretended to be moved, and looked at Yan Xing and said with emotion:
"Jun is a talented person in the cold land and a hero of the wild grass. He ran out with weak soldiers. He only had dozens of spears and bows, and the food was less than three meals. Within ten months, the momentum revived, recruiting exiles, and destroying the city's households was common, and he did not like money and women, and his mind was extraordinary. Kun just imagine, if you could drive three thousand tigers in the future, who else could stop this world!"
Facing Xu Kun's staring eyes and heart-stricken words, Yan Xing laughed dryly, but his expression still did not change. He shook his head and smiled:
"As Jun said, isn't that the best way to use troops in the world?"
"What does this mean?"
Looking at the burly man in front of him who was unable to see anything unusual in his own temptation, Xu Kun seemed confused. He deliberately tried to test him with big words. He did not rush to make excuses, but instead said frankly that he was the third in the world to use military force. I really don’t know where to start!
Looking at Xu Kun's somewhat confused look, Yan Xing smiled and said loudly:
"Yan was defeated by the uncle of the Jun family, and then was captured by the Jun. If it was true that Yan raised three thousand tigers, it would be difficult for the world to stop him. Then the uncle and nephew of the Jun family were one of the best soldiers in the world, and he could be called the unparalleled one of the world!"
