Han Linmo led Yan Xi to inspect the barracks, Yan Xi didn't dare to be arrogant in front of his master, and was always half a step behind, listening to Han Linmo's words.

The Yuexi military camp has the style of the Han family army, and its actions are effective. The sergeants followed the Han to Linmo, and they all spoke little and walked neatly.In the barracks, there is one post at ten steps, one post at five steps, and the appearance of the army is clean, which is very exciting.

Yan Xi looked at the soldiers, and the soldiers also looked at him.

The army in Linmo of the Han Dynasty was strictly governed, and the sergeants had no outside news, and hadn't heard many rumors about the governor, so when they saw the first-rank officer wearing the crane patch and the jade belt, they all dropped their jaws in shock..

So young and beautiful, can't be a princess?

Fortunately, the soldiers were well-trained, each of them endured hard work, and they did not lose their composure.

Only the younger soldiers who had just entered the barracks, the brothers in the front didn't have time to remind them. When they saw the governor at first sight, they froze on the spot and even forgot to give the military salute.Because of his bad military appearance, he was punished face to face by Lord Du Tong.

While receiving the punishment with sad faces, the young boys couldn't help but recall the appearance of the governor, and couldn't help being astonished.

It was rare for Yan Xi not to feel disgusted by being watched.

The troubles of the boys were frank and restrained. The sergeants looked at him, first of all, they were in awe of Shangfeng, and secondly, they tried their best to cover up their shyness.

No malicious coveting.

Yan Xi and Song Beiming didn't show any intimacy other than holding hands briefly just now, and they didn't deliberately pretend not to know each other.

Song Beiming walked behind Yanxi, seeing Yan Xi calmly accepting the sergeant's salute, showing a relaxed state, Song Beiming was both emotional and happy.

Song Beiming couldn't help thinking that when he first met Yan Xi, the number one scholar who had just entered the officialdom, had nothing but was invincible and dealt with various sinister forces, trying his best to pretend to be mature and sophisticated every day.

In fact, after a little scare, Yan Xi will bristle all over his body like a small animal, showing a tense state of excessive self-protection.If you gently coax him, he will put on his hard armor in a dazed and terrified manner, and refuse to approach others.

Those charming provocations and the indistinguishable refusal to welcome, now it seems that they are all cautious precautions.

Song Beiming originally thought that Yan Xi would not care about anything, so he once warned himself that he could only ask for Yanxi.

When Song Beiming opened Yan Xi's shell bit by bit, he found that there was a lot of redness inside.His Wei Yu is so clear about right and wrong, as long as you treat him well, he will give you everything he can, and let you do anything to him.

Yan Xi didn't say promises, but he had already given everything he could.

Song Beiming witnessed Yan Xi's change with his own eyes. Now his Wei Yu is no longer as tense as before, but accepts what fate has given him calmly, and even takes all the responsibilities with an attitude of enjoyment.

Go with the situation, and it is bound to win.

Song Beiming followed Yan Xi, and the two of them restrained their eye contact in front of the soldiers.

Yan Xi is already used to Song Beiming's aura. Every time he turns sideways, he will unconsciously look for Song Beiming's figure, and when he finds it, he will turn away naturally. He only needs to confirm that Song Beiming is there.

The corners of his eyes, which are so beautiful that they are unreasonable, are teasing every time he glances at them.

Song Beiming walked seriously with a straight face, his heart was itchy because of the corners of his eyes, and his mind was full of someone's wet clapping his fingers at night.

I really want to hold that hand up and say that this is mine.

Song Beiming even knew that if he really did that in full view, Yan Xi would indulge him without any annoyance or blame.

But it was precisely because of that unconditional connivance that Song Beiming felt distressed.Song Beiming, who had been attacking cities and land all this time, unknowingly began to restrain himself.

Yan Xi watched the barracks, and was led by Han Linmo into the discussion tent. The moment Han Linmo turned around and sat down, Yan Xi met Song Beiming's eyes and fell apart instantly.

There was an unbearable itchiness in the air.

Song Beiming laughed silently.

When Han Linmo sat down and looked back, he felt a subtle aura. He glanced at the obedient apprentice with downcast eyes, then glanced at the innocent little prince, without telling the truth, he sat upright and said: "Your Excellency, young prince, please sit down."

In front of the master, Yan Xi and Song Beiming cleverly avoided their eyes, and sat down solemnly as promised.

Han Linmo turned sideways to Song Beiming and said, "Little prince, I just wronged you."

Song Beiming didn't dare to trust Han Linmo, so he got up immediately and said, "Lord Dutong is very polite, Mengze is no longer a prince when he comes to the western border barracks, you are my Shangfeng now, and everything is up to you."

After Han Linmo exchanged simple greetings, he said to Yan Xi directly without going around the corner, "Wei Yu, today we are all together, and we can draw up a regulation for the future affairs of governing the army in the western region."

Han Linmo taught Yan Xi Kung Fu for five years, and Yan Xi developed a unique restraint when facing Han Linmo during the harsh and almost cruel training.His sitting posture was already upright and upright, but in front of Han Linmo, he sat even more straight, and his demeanor was also very respectful: "Master, Wei Yu has never fought a war, and I have to listen to you when marching and fighting."

Han Linmo didn't really make up his own mind, but raised the question first: "Let's make a long story short, right now the guards of the Western Borders have several difficulties. The first difficulty is the shortage of food and grass. The food sources of the guards are scattered. According to DajingThe law stipulates that the military rations in the guard station are supplied by the local government, and the county, government, and county levels must supply according to the regulations. Some guards are stationed across multiple places, so they are supplied in multiple places.Capabilities vary, and if any government government pays less or pays late, it will lead to a lack of military rations in the guard. Right now, only 30% of the winter rations in the Yuexi military camp have arrived, and it is expected that after the autumn harvest, it will only reach 60% at most.It was Jia Zongru who went out in person, running around every day to collect it. As for the military salary, the household department and the local government each pay half. Fortunately, Governor Mei is also the secretary of the household department.It's still short by half."

In such a close conversation with Han Linmo, every joint of Yan Xi remembered the pain of being honed and beaten in those five years. No matter how painful he was at that time, he still went to Han Linmo to demonstrate to him again and againAt this moment, Yan Xi seems to have returned to that state.

Yan Xi put his hands upright on his knees, turned slightly to Han Linmo and said: "The military rations paid by the counties and counties will be reported to the disciples by officials the next day. These disciples all know about it.Yun stared, there was still a teacher sitting in the cabinet, and the imperial court decided that it would not embarrass the military pay in the western region. It's just that the treasury is empty, Dajing has a vast territory, and everywhere is waiting for food.It is hard for a woman to live without rice, and it is useless to urge the government below. The vacant food and salary, the western region has to find a way for itself. The food and salary is the combat power, and since I am the governor of the western region, I will not short the soldiers by a penny."

Song Beiming noticed that Yan Xi had returned to the tenseness before.

He had heard of the strict and arduous training of the Han army, and he could understand Yan Xi's respect and fear for Han Linmo.Seeing Yan Xi habitually lowering his eyes in front of Han Linmo, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Han Linmo knew that Yan Xi had some savings in private, but he only knew that Yan Xi had taken Emperor Tianxi's private treasury, and he didn't know that Yan Xi had other sources of money.He is a teacher who is not good at words, and he feels sorry for the apprentice who is the prince who has to spend a lot of money, but he will not easily express this kind of soft worry.The word "Chuan" appeared between his brows because of his long-term worries. At this time, the wrinkles between his brows became heavier, and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Yu, military supplies are a bottomless pit. Using private money to supplement military supplies is just a drop in the bucket. Don't waste your savings.".”

They are used to stingy emotional communication between master and apprentice, and they always talk to each other in a rigid manner, Yan Xi said: "Master, don't worry, this disciple knows it well."

Compared with Yan Xi who has only one master, Song Beiming has many masters, and he is better at handling this kind of master-student relationship. On the contrary, he understands Han Linmo's introverted love, so he continued: "Lord Dutong, don't worry, Beiyuan has been in trouble for the past two years.Some reserves, on the day when there is no food, Beiyuan’s emergency food will go to Niangziguan and Pingchuan food road, and it will only take three days to supply the whole western region.”

"What Meng Ze said can be used as a relief in times of crisis." Yan Xidao added, "Master, I do have a way to raise food. I dare not say how long it will last. It is hard for me to keep winter food for a year."

Han Linmo always knew that Yan Xi had something to say, hearing Yan Xi was so resolute, he settled down in his heart.

Mo Linmo was rather surprised to hear that Song Beiming wanted to subsidize the military rations without hesitation. He stared at Song Beiming for a long time without saying anything more, and then said: "The second difficulty is the shortage of veterans. The guards can currently useThere are only 20,000 Han troops, 20,000 Xisanwei garrisons, and 5,000 Yuguan County guards. The remaining soldiers are less than 10,000, and most of them are just waiting to die. These soldiers guard the checkpoint reluctantly.Guarding the long western border is really stretched. Although we are recruiting troops, it will not be a one-day effort to clean up military discipline. There are not enough veterans, and it is difficult for new recruits to lead the division."

Yan Xi has also been thinking about military training for the past few days, and just as he was about to speak, Song Beiming took over the conversation again: "Lord Dutong, the thirty thousand snow-troopers from Beiyuan are already on their way."

"Very good!" Han Linmo was stunned for a moment, then let go of his brows, stood up from his seat, and said excitedly, "Snow-Treading Army——If there is a Snow-Treading Army, I really wish for it.Do you mean handsome?"

Yan Xi shut his mouth dryly, and realized that as the governor, he couldn't get in the way.

Under the watchful eyes of Han Linmo, Song Beiming replied solemnly: "I discussed this matter with my eldest sister before I came to the western border, and I also agreed with Wei Yu a few days ago.Yes, I received a reply the day before yesterday, saying that the eldest sister has already ordered troops and selected 30,000 elite soldiers to be dispatched by the Western Territory."

The richness on Han Linmo's face finally dissipated, he took two steps towards Yan Xi, as if he wanted to share something with Yan Xi, then stopped his steps restrainedly, and said several times "Okay, okay, okay", sat back again, turned sideways to Song Beiming and said: "I thank the little prince and Marshal Song!"

Song Beiming and Han Linmo are related by marriage, his second sister-in-law Han Linyan is Han Linmo's younger sister, he is the younger brother of Han Linmo's in-laws; in addition, Song Beiming once studied martial arts under Han Yang when he was studying in the palace, is Han Linmo's younger brother.

The two families of the Han and Song Dynasties had a very close relationship. The two families controlled more than half of Da Jing's elite soldiers and horses. This was a relationship that made the Beijing officials feel uncomfortable.Therefore, during the years when Song Beiming was in Jingdu, in order to avoid suspicion, he seldom walked around with the Han family.

In fact, Song Beiming called Han Linmo "big brother" when they rarely met in private.

"I don't dare to do it, I'm doing things for the court." Song Beiming slowly added in the current atmosphere, "Brother, don't be polite, we are all family."

He called this "big brother" because he wanted to talk to Han Linmo heart-to-heart.

Hearing this "big brother", Yan Xi slowly raised his eyes and looked at Song Beiming strangely.

He couldn't figure out what Song Beiming was trying to say suddenly, and he was baffled by this disordered generational relationship.

Song Beiming smiled triumphantly at Yan Xi - I am your uncle.

Yan Xi was taken advantage of this advantage and had nothing to say, so he could only look away, planning in his heart amusingly how to deal with Song Beiming's possible frivolity at night.

Han Linmo was ignorant of the flirtations of the two juniors, and continued: "The third problem is the difficulty of guarding the soldiers. Now Meng Ze and I recruit soldiers, and we have to recruit people in the name of the Han family army and the Snow-Treading Army.", the people in the western region no longer trust the government and the guards."

In the army account, Yan Xi heard that the recruits who had just been recruited outside were practicing. The commands and actions were very imposing, which made people feel more confident.He pondered: "As long as you can recruit soldiers, it doesn't matter whose name you use."

Han Linmo unexpectedly insisted: "Wei Yu, the soldiers recruited by the Han Army and the Snow-Treading Army still have the surnames of Han and Song. You have to make up your mind."

"Master, I don't mind." Yan Xi knew what Han Linmo was worried about, and he said, "As long as the western border can be well guarded, these are not important."

Han Linmo looked at Song Beiming seriously.

Song Beiming vaguely knew that it was time to say something important, so he sat up straight and said, "Brother, it's okay to say it."

"Wei Yu is the crown prince," Han Linmo said abruptly, "Wei Yu is not in the center now, and the day of his return to court is far away. How many people in the middle are fluctuating and the situation is turbulent is unpredictable. Wei Yu's position in the East Palace, looking at no oneIt can be shaken, but in fact, the Dajing is precarious, and the crown prince is in danger. Yanxi looks at the high officials and generous salary, but those are all given by a piece of paper, and one day they can be taken back with a scrap of paper. What is the crown prince really relying on?Mengze, tell me about it."

Yan Xi suddenly realized something, and before Song Beiming could reply, he stood up abruptly and said anxiously, "Master!"

"Wei Yu," Han Linmo interrupted Yan Xi with a serious expression, "I brought you a tassel for my teacher, it's on the desk in the main account, you go and get it."

Yan Xi whispered, "Master—"

Han Lin said indifferently, "Go."
