In Zhangjia Village, Kaifeng Prefecture, even in the season when the wind is warm and flowers bloom, it exudes a gray-black rustic atmosphere. The earth walls and dirt roads are shrouded in dust and black dirt everywhere. Children are carrying baskets to pick up donkey dung on the road.

Under the crooked locust tree at the entrance of the village, a young man was riding on a brown horse's back. The leather and linen uniforms on his body were cleaned up. The leather shoulder armor and tight belt made him look very energetic, and the sword he wore was obviously different from the villagers.

After a while, two men in the same clothes walked quickly from the dirt road, clasped their fists and said, "Greetings to General Yu Shishi."

The young man said, "Commander Zhang passes by here, and you and me will welcome you to the fullest friendship of the landlord."

"As for the order." The two answered.

Yu Liang then shook the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head, and the three of them walked along the dirt road.

"Is it going to fight again?" Yu Liang heard the question from the third son of the Zhang family, sat immediately and looked back, clearly seeing his excited and expectant expression. The soldiers were happy when they heard the battle, and Yu Liang saw it with his own eyes.

The Zhang family's eldest son said: "War is not a stubborn thing. The third son just married his wife."

"I must go this time!" Sanlang said anxiously.

Yu Liang couldn't help but speak, "Your elder brother is right. He just became a groom and had a short spring night. Why do you have to go to war?"

Not only was he asking Zhang Jiasanlang, he also wanted to figure out why he had been staying in the army and was unwilling to leave. But Sanlang touched his head and stammered and couldn't explain why.

"It is difficult for people who are involved in gambling to turn back." Yu Liang pondered.

The two brothers of the Zhang family looked at each other, not quite understanding Yu Liang's stupid words.

Yu Liang looked down at them: "It's just a month at the gambling table. After a year's income comes and goes, I feel restless when I get up. Who can calm down and slowly accumulate wealth?

When our guards fight, the settlement fee before the expedition is enough for you to plant a few years. I think you can’t farm without any confidence.”

The two brothers of the Zhang family said nothing.

Yu Liang said again: "Warning is really a cost-effective extravagant thing. The armor, weapons and food we wear are not something that ordinary people can squander at will."

Sanlang muttered: "The village is also boring. I work hard all day long and can't get much harvest. I go out to fight all over the world, eat imperial grain, and do great things for the emperor!"

The three of them went to the post road one by one. At noon, they saw a team of horse soldiers running from the post road, and the road was covered with dust. Who is the current strong man Zhang Jiankui?

Yu Liang jumped off from the horse, held his fists from afar, and shouted: "After General Zhang has arrived at the last general's hometown, if he doesn't mind, would he be willing to enjoy his face and drink and rest in the humble house?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Jiankui laughed loudly and said loudly, "I'm lucky to know, that book will be welcome!"

Zhang Jiankui rode his horse over and tied the reins to slow down. The Zhang brothers hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horses. They had to help the commander and wait for the horses to take care of the horses... Yu Liang came to them just to do this.

The group gathered together. Yu Liang said casually: "General Zhang made great contributions in Dongdao. When he returned to Beijing, even the official family mentioned your name specifically. You should be promoted soon?"

Zhang Jiankui smiled and said, "I'm afraid I have to wait. The pits above are sitting on them. How can I rise higher?"

Yu Liang hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Whenever you have the chance, the military commander will definitely think of Commander Zhang first."

"That's natural!" Zhang Jiankui said, turning his head again, "I'm going up, I won't forget my brothers."

Yu Liang took the opportunity to inquire: "The Kaifeng Commander of the Guards sent an order to let us assemble in half a month. Where will the court start a war?"

Zhang Jiankui glanced at him and said simply: "The main force goes to the west. If you don't go along with us this time, you may go to the northeast to build Liuhua Castle."

"The two sides started a war together?" Yu Liang said in surprise.

Zhang Jiankui shook his head and said, "First do the west and prepare fortifications in the east. I heard that Li Yiyin, a Dangxiang man, made trouble in the northwest, and the Liao Kingdom was also ready to move in the northeast. Can we watch the people outside make trouble at will? When Da Xu's iron cavalry went, he smashed the dogs and Japanese people!"

"Hahaha……"

...

Tokyo Founding Duke's Mansion.

Li Chuyun was thinking and murmured, "Han Tong was good at fighting in the water; Yang Biao was born in the infantry army of the former Xiaodi Army, and the big scene was slightly worse; Luo Yanhuan and Shi Yanchao were good at attacking the cavalry..."

Zhongli smiled and said, "Mr. Li should recommend Shi Yanchao very much."

Li Chuyun turned his head and looked at each other, each with a look of surprise.

Everyone in the army knew that Shi Yanchao was rebellious. Except for the emperor, only Li Chuyun could barely conquer him! Because Li Chuyun's status is higher than Shi Yanchao. If the court wants to use Shi Yanchao, Li Chuyun must take charge of the overall situation, otherwise anyone who takes charge will be unable to take Shi Yanchao.

Li Chuyun and Zhongli were both trying to win the opportunity to command troops this time, otherwise Han Tong's reputation would be higher than that... But Han Tong was not a good person, and he did not speak humbly.

Li Chuyun pondered for a moment and said, "In addition to Duke, General Leopard Dong Zunhui..."

Zhongli said: "Why can that kid be so young?"

Li Chuyun said calmly: "For some reason, I feel that I am particularly concerned about this person and have high hopes for him."

Zhongli whispered: "There are two princes in the official family, one princess. The legitimate son was born to the empress of the Eastern Palace, and the concubine son was born to the imperial concubine, who was the grandson of Mr. Li, the princess..."

Li Chuyun's face changed and he hurriedly said, "The princess is the daughter of Concubine Shu (Yu Lian)."

"That's true in name." Zhongli said.

The two fell silent and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Li Chuyun said, "Dong Zunhui was almost there, so it was a joke to ask him to preside over the northwest. The territory that the Zhe family controlled the battle was the base camp, and they needed to provide food and grass and local military information; can Dong Zunhui's child convince Zhe Dehuai?"

Zhongli pondered and forgot to respond for a moment.

Li Chuyun said meaningfully, "Without awe-inspiring prestige, we cannot take charge of the overall situation."

Zhongli finally nodded and agreed: "Mr. Li is really the best coach in this battle. The northwest is vast and you must be brave and resourceful. Just knowing how to fight is not enough."

Li Chuyun said again: "I have to be loyal to my country thousands of miles away. I am loyal to the innocent child of today, and the sun and the moon can be seen!"

Zhongli looked at Li Chuyun with great interest.

Li Chuyun found his eyes and immediately patted his chest and said, "Now the country is a strong opportunity, and the dynasty will benefit the people of billions of dollars. Even if I am heartless, I must be loyal to the country, otherwise how can I see the ancestors of the Chinese?!

War is a major event for the country and is related to the rise and fall of the country. I will take it as my duty. How can I let an incompetent person have the overall situation?"

Zhongli bowed and said, "Mr. Li's loyalty is what I am deeply moved."

Li Chuyun raised his head, was full of confidence, cursed and swore, and expressed his loyalty in private. There were no outsiders here, and no one could see that his loyalty was not to flatter the superiors.

...A few days later, Li Chuyun went to the Nanjiao school to observe the training of the guards and happened to meet Shi Yanchao.

The Dukes were all military generals, but they had no military power until the war period, and they had no jobs all day long. Shi Yanchao also liked to stroll on the school grounds and watch the soldiers train. Li Chuyun came here and met him.

When Shi Yanchao saw Li Chuyun, he sat on the tall horse and glanced at him with his eyes slanted. Anyone who was so handsome was very uncomfortable!

Li Chuyun smiled and stroked a handful of thick black beards, as if he was used to it, and took the initiative to speak: "Shi Gong is so interested!"

Shi Yanchao sneered: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Li."

Li Chuyun rode his horse close, and watched the crowds of people on the school field from afar and said casually: "Mr. Li still likes to watch the scenes of cavalry scattered on the battlefield more. It's really exciting..."

Sure enough, Shi Yanchao's expression changed immediately, and a red blood color appeared on his big face.

Li Chuyun saw it and knew that this guy was just a pure martial artist and liked to fight for no reason! Moreover, Shi Yanchao was very murderous. Why did he avenge his brothers? He was just a dog-like power, he just liked bloodthirsty killing.

Shi Yanchao's passion was aroused, and he snorted: "Didn't the imperial court want to sweep the northwest? The infantry was as slow as a turtle. There would be no cavalry in that place!"

"There are more than one cavalry general in the army." Li Chuyun said lightly.

Shi Yanchao turned around and said, "Who else?"

Li Chuyun said: "There are too many, such as Dong Zunhui."

"Haha..." Shi Yanchao suddenly raised his head and laughed, laughing so hard that tears were almost coming out, as if there was nothing better in this world than this.

Li Chuyun didn't smile at all: "Why does General Shi laugh?"

Shi Yanchao shook his head and smiled, "Children Huangkou, just like his grandson in front of me!"

Li Chuyun smiled and said, "In the Han Dynasty, Dong Qubing was granted the wolf's servant's title at the age of 20. The hero is not old. General Shi didn't know that Dong Zunhui was compared to Huo Qubing in addition to the name of General Leopard?"

Shi Yanchao laughed again: "I might as well ask him Dong Qu to cure his illness in the future!"

Li Chuyun turned to look at him, but could only look up at Shi Yanchao's face. This guy was too tall... This made people with a higher status than Shi Yanchao very uncomfortable.

Looking at Shi Yanchao's arrogant look, Li Chuyun really didn't want to say much. But it was precisely such a person who was full of blood and offended countless people... and he shouted loudly that an imperial guard general was his grandson, who could live in a high position until now? It seems that it is not easy to think about it.

The two stopped talking, and there was nothing to listen to anyway. They watched the square formations wearing hard and sharp sterns moving, repeatedly practicing military discipline and order.

"Papapapapa..." The sound of muskets came from the wind, and white smoke mixed in the dust. Teams of cavalry swung their swords and guns, rushing in a row. With strict military discipline and excellent equipment, Xu Jun relied on these things to achieve victory again and again. The civil and military officials of the dynasty unanimously advocated strengthening Xu Jun's advantages and gaining greater benefits for the dynasty!
