Song Beiming had a special knowledge of Yu Guan. According to the topography of Hulukou outside the gate of Yu Guan, he could judge that the place of confrontation was just a certain distance outside the gate.

Due to the haste of the battle, the Han army and the Snow-Treading Army had no time to get in touch. The 30,000 people he brought with him on this trip were mainly the Snow-Treading Army.Among them, 5,000 cavalrymen followed him to fight against Niangziguan, and the soldiers never forget that surprise attack.

Sad Feng's blade is thick and sharp, and when it is unsheathed, it cuts through the sound of the wind.

The soldiers completely trusted Song Beiming. When Song Beiming rushed towards Mo Di's commander-in-chief at the moment when the arrow rain stopped, everyone drew their swords neatly, the iron cavalry roared, the silver armor was like waves, and the blue dragon roared and bit Mo Di's back.

Before the arrow rain came, Di Jie still vowed that he could take Yu Guan into his pocket. He sent his masters to stare at Du Xuan, seeing that Du Xuan was stabbed in the waist, bleeding profusely. He laughed sinisterly and clapped his hands.He cheered and shouted viciously: "Shoot another stab at his neck, and I want Du Xuan's head to hang in front of the gate of my palace, so that those who have been frightened by him can see it!"

Du Xuan was stabbed, the Modi people wanted to pull him over, he gritted his teeth and stepped back, the knife edge scratched his flesh.

This is the frightening thing about Mo Di's scimitar, if you pull it out forcefully, it will make a hole that is several times longer than the edge of the knife, and the scimitar will stir in the flesh and blood, and the blood will splash all over the ground.

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi struggled to escape from the encirclement, kicked off the Modi man, flew over and pressed Du Xuan's knife edge with his hand, but the blood couldn't be stopped at all, gushing out from between his fingers.Xiaoqi shouted with red eyes: "My lord!"

Another Jinyiwei brother came to protect him and blocked another heavy knife from the Modi people.

The Yu Guan soldiers who were close also surrounded them.

Du Xuan's blood was so red that it hurt the hearts of the soldiers. These soldiers had never been defeated under his command. Seeing the commander fall, all of them turned red with grief.

Xiaoqi handed Du Xuan over to the others. He raised the Xiuchun knife and shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived, everyone guard this gate with me, as long as it doesn't break—"

At this moment, the rapid sound of war drums came from the south.

This familiar tone and rhythm is Da Jing's war drum!

It's reinforcements!

Xiaoqi shouted excitedly: "Reinforcements have arrived, go!"

Li Meng also heard it on the city wall. The special drumming meant encirclement. The gate of Yu Guan opened wide. Li Meng flew out on his horse, and the soldiers who had already been furious screamed and rushed out.

Li Meng passed by Du Xuan, wanted to stop his horse, and burst into tears.

Du Xuan lay in a pool of blood, waved his hand at him, and said weakly, "Go."

There was no time to say anything else on the battlefield, so Li Meng obediently turned his head and moved forward. He swung his knife vigorously, ignoring his tears, and vowed to find Mo Di to settle his score.

The soldiers passed by Du Xuan's side, but they were not allowed to stop. Their nerves were stung by the bloody color, burning with anger and hatred, they cursed Mo Di in the light of the sword, and demanded that Mo Di pay with his life.

When he heard the war drums and iron hooves behind him, Di Jie thought he heard it wrong.

It is impossible for Da Jing's reinforcements to come. He surrounded Yu Guan so tightly that even a fly could not fly out. It has only been more than two days. How come the reinforcements came?

The battle drums in Yu Guan City echoed, and Di Jie said contemptuously to the soldiers beside him: "The remaining three or four thousand people in Yu Guan are not enough to show off, how dare you rush out to die?"

Mo Di's soldiers frantically held their knives, showing cannibal smiles, and looked at the gate that Yu Guan opened.

The military master knew Da Jing better than Di Jie, he recovered from the pain just now, and gritted his teeth desperately and shouted: "My lord, withdraw the troops! If there is any reinforcement from the Western Region, it must be one of the Han army and the snow-walking army.Both armies are not easy to mess with, let's go!"

Seeing the flesh from his mouth spitting out like this, Di Jie was not reconciled.

He raised his saber at the gate of Yu Guan city: "It is impossible for this king to withdraw back to Mo Di, if he wants to retreat, he can only retreat to Yu Guan city, let me rush and break through Yuguan!"

Instead of retreating, Mo Di's soldiers launched a general attack on Yuguan City.

The cavalry clashed first, followed by the infantry, the lights of the swords were intertwined, and the blood on the ground thickened again.

Di Jie seemed to be possessed, he just wanted Du Xuan's head, so he also rushed out, aiming at Du Xuan with full bow.

Just when his arrow was about to leave the string, an arrow flying from outside the sky shot straight at his back.

There are so many guards around him, and there are many experts among them. No one has sensed the danger in advance. When they heard the sharp sound of breaking wind flying close, the nearest guards had no time to rescue him.

The arrow passed through the back of the heart, and the tip of the arrow was exposed on Dijie's chest.

Di Jie lowered his head in disbelief, seeing his own blood dripping from the tip of the arrow, he stretched out his hand in shock to hold the half arrow in front of his chest, spit out blood with a "wow", and fell off the horse.

After the arrow pierced the heart, the pain was felt by the body a little later, and Di Jie was suddenly gripped by the god of death.

His eyes widened, unable to believe that his life had been taken away.

Dajing's men are thin and short, and they are all as weak as Du Xuan. They are by no means a match for the strong Mo Di man. It is impossible for him to die on the battlefield of Da Jing.

Di Jie struggled arrogantly, and then heard the extremely sharp sound of horse hooves approaching rapidly, he turned his head to see who the sacred person was, but before he could move, a magnified snow-white horse hoof appeared in front of his eyes.

There was an iron palm on the horse's hoof, and it stepped on his face.

Di Jie didn't even have time to close his eyes, and witnessed his own death.

The north wind crushed Di Jie's face, and Di Jie's personal guards were scattered. After Song Beiming's horse passed by, more iron hooves rushed forward.

The handsome flag embroidered with the word "Song" gave Yu Guan a reassurance, and Jin Yiwei took the lead in shouting: "The Canglong Army has arrived, and the little prince has arrived!"

The soldiers shouted loudly and loudly: "The little prince has arrived, Yu Guan has been saved!"

Du Xuan lost a lot of blood, and he saw that Song Zi was already lying down and couldn't move.But he was so happy that he tried his best to show a gratified smile.

Song Beiming specially walked around to him on the battlefield as a farewell.

Du Xuan used his last strength and exhausted his remaining strength, and said softly but clearly: "The new festival has arrived, I... am very relieved."

Song Beiming heard it.

He did not respond to this sentence, but said to Du Xuan: "Don't worry, Yu Guan is safe."

Du Xuan slowly closed his eyes, with a smile on his lips.

Governor's Palace.

Yan Xi was sitting in the meeting hall, the windows around him were open, and the doors were also wide open.

The chief officials of the three counties all came, and Wen Yan sat in the small case behind Yan Xi, spreading his pen and ink.

Yan Xi ordered someone to serve tea, and said to Wei Chifeng: "Someone go and invite Dong Zhengfu."

Dong Zhengfu waited for a day at the governor's mansion before Yan Xi and his party came back from the Yue Xi military camp.

He stood by the door of the guest courtyard and looked around. He saw the crowds in the outer courtyard, and heard that the officials of the three counties were waiting, so he thought that Yan Xifang had a lot of things to deal with when he returned home, and he probably had to wait.wait.

Unexpectedly, he turned his head back, and then he heard the sound of hurried steps behind him, someone came to salute him and called him "Master Dong", saying, "Your Excellency in the council hall is here to invite you."

Dong Zhengfu was slightly taken aback, quickly returned the salute, lifted the hem of his robe and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

Dong Zhengfu arrived outside the meeting hall, stopped in his tracks, and waited for others to communicate.

He saw that the outer courtyard was just an ordinary decoration, the only special thing was that a row of green bamboos had been planted in the courtyard, there was the sound of thin bamboo leaves when the wind passed by, and it was very comfortable to dry in the shade under the bamboo shadows.

Smelling the fragrance of bamboo, he tried hard to recall how many times Jingdu had seen Yan Xi from a distance, and in his memory were some clean and elegant looks, no matter how much he hadn't seen up close, he really couldn't recall.

He just wanted to start, and then he heard a warm voice inside saying: "Qingling, please come in."

Dong Zhengfu entered the meeting hall, saluted with his head bowed, was about to kneel, Yan Xi raised his hand to ask him to excuse himself, he was led by Wei Chifeng to sit on his seat.

This was the first time that Dong Zhengfu saw Yan Xi face to face, he took a quick glance, lowered his head hastily, his heartbeat couldn't help but beating under that compelling beauty.

It's so beautiful, much more beautiful than the rumors describe, no wonder some people say that His Royal Highness's appearance is indescribable in words and strokes.

Yan Xi ordered someone to show Dong Zhengfu some tea, and in the soothing voice of the tea, he said, "Qingling came well, it gave us a good start in the western region, and there will be more people posting posts to the western region after that., Only someone can do things, and Qingling has helped the western region a lot."

Dong Zhengfu still had the impression that Yan Xi was impeaching his boss and beating others. When he first heard such a gentle voice, he blushed with embarrassment, and replied in embarrassment: "I really don't dare to do it. I should be a humble Xie Du."It is the kindness of Taiwan University people who know how to meet them."

One day after Yan Xi left, many things had accumulated in the mansion, and the case was full of paperwork. He didn't bother to continue the greetings, and said straight to the point: "Qingling, what do you think about taking up the job?"

Although Dong Zhengfu had never been an official, he had stayed in Jingdu for a long time, and he was used to literati meeting each other first with a few polite words. He had heard of Yan Xi's hard work, but he didn't expect it to be so straightforward, so he stood up nervously and said, "Humble!"You can do whatever you want, and listen to the arrangement of Master Dutai."

Yan Xi pointed to the thick document and said: "The most dangerous thing in the western region right now is the war. The battle is going on in Yu Guan these two days, and there is no news so far. Once the flames of war ignite, the three counties will not be safe.Recruiting soldiers, this matter can't be covered, Mo Di will definitely embarrass us first."

Dong Zhengfu sat upright, it didn't sound like he was only speaking to him, so he wisely didn't answer, and listened respectfully with his ears sideways.

Zhou Xu is now acting as governor of Xizhou. Although the appointment has not yet been made, the burden has already been picked up.

He is responsible for the affairs of Yu Guan, and since the news of the battle at Yu Guan, he has had trouble sleeping and eating. He has never fought a war, and Xizhou has no soldiers to rescue him. Yan Xi heard the news earlier than him., Song Beiming has already gone to save him.

He was like an invisible man in this battle, knowing that he was incompetent, so he quickly got up to plead guilty.

Yan Xi raised his hand to signal Zhou Xu to sit down, and said, "Sili, don't blame yourself. This battle was unexpected. You have stored enough food for Yuguan, and you have added knives, arrows and war horses. Otherwise, Yu Guan will also support you."Don’t go to Meng Ze to save it. You have just taken over Xizhou for a few days, so it’s good to be able to do this.”

Zhou Xu wiped his sweat like sitting on pins and needles.

Jia Zongru next to him was frowning.

He has now been promoted to Yue Xi Chief Envoy, and his promotion to Governor in the future is just a matter of waiting. Yan Xi has given him such favors, and he really wants to make some achievements.

Regarding Xizhou's matter, he thought over and over again, but he couldn't help much.In addition, he doesn't understand military affairs, so he doesn't dare to take countermeasures easily.

He came today because he wanted to complain, Yue Xi was struggling to support the main force of the Canglong Army.Hearing about the situation just now, he saw that Yan Xi and Song Beiming had done a lot of things first, and they didn't come to him for many arrangements. He was startled that he was ashamed of performing his duties, and he was even more ashamed of Yan Xi's tolerance for Zhou Xu.

He clenched his fists tightly, not complaining to Yan Xi, and said: "Yue Xi is adjacent to Xizhou. Yue Xi has started repairing the official roads to ensure smooth traffic. The adjacent cities and villages have also reserved places for Xizhou., The list of doctors has also been collected, and they can come to Xizhou for support at any time. If you want anything in Xizhou right now, just ask.”

Yan Xi nodded: "Jizhang thinks enough about people's livelihood, so I will follow your arrangement."

Pingchuan is the granary of the western region. Recently, Mei Yun has resolutely defeated a group of local officials and gentry, and reorganized the grain business, and has some grain on hand.

Mei Yun only took a quick look at Yan Xi when she entered the meeting hall, and seeing Yan Xi's sad face made her feel very uncomfortable.

Mei Yun is proficient in officialdom, and she knows what to say after listening to others.He said between his own concerns: "The three counties in the western region are closely related, and they must help each other. If Yue Xi and Xizhou have any difficulties, Pingchuan will help even if he tightens his belt."

"Pingchuan is a granary. If Ling Han said that, the station is at ease." Yan Xi turned his gaze away from Mei Yun, and said to Dong Zhengfu, "The three counties in the western region are in wartime, so we should manage them in wartime.The reason why the Guanxi border guards have no combat power is rooted in the supply of military supplies. The guards in various places are supported by the local yamen, apportioned by the county, prefecture, and county levels, and transported separately. It is a mess; and the time is not guaranteed. If anyoneIf the yamen owes money, the food and salaries of the guards are not enough, and the year-by-year credits have become bad debts. The soldiers can’t eat enough in the guards, and the fields of the military households are taken when they go home.We must run. The most important thing right now is to unify the military supplies."

This is to change the system in the western region, and the military supply system in the western region is based on Da Jing's ancestral system. Yan Xi's change is to overturn Da Jing's guard system.

Yan Xi's previous reorganization of the Canglong Army has already made many veterans fearful, but now that he is going to reorganize it again, I am afraid that there will be other voices in Jingdu.

This matter is too big, Jia Zongru and Zhou Xu looked at each other, not daring to answer.

Mei Yun thought more deeply. He saw Yan Xi picking up the teacup and sipping water, and seeing Zhou Xu and Jia Zongru sweating on their foreheads, so he knew what Yan Xi was waiting for. He took the conversation: "Your official has a plan, I don't know what to say.Improper speaking."

Only then did Yan Xi raise her eyes, and looked at Mei Yun squarely.

From Mei Yun's calm gaze, he knew that the other party had already started, and said kindly: "Ling Han, please tell me."

It was rare for Mei Yun to get Yan Xi's attention, and his heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, he had been thinking about what he was going to say for the past few days, and now he just had to set a direction according to Yan Xi's wishes.So he said fluently: "The problem mentioned by Mr. Taiwan Governor is also a problem in the guards of various places. It is not only the difficulty of the Western Region, but also the disadvantage of Da Jing. It is a new way and a last resort to follow the power of the Western Region.Self-help. When marching and fighting, food and grass go first, and soldiers must manage food, grass, and military salaries to win battles. I suggest that the military supplies of the three counties be allocated and transported in a unified manner, and the three counties jointly build a military supply department to handle it.”

What Mei Yun said was exactly what Yan Xi thought.

Yan Xi had read a lot of Ming history, and knew a thing or two about the downfall of the Weisuo system and the military household system in the Ming Dynasty.The system of Da Jing in this book is based on the Ming system. The military from its heyday to its ruin can be understood by referring to the research given by some Ming history experts, and there are ready-made countermeasures.

Yan Xi experienced it personally, gained a deeper understanding, coupled with his own pondering, grasped the most critical point of the military organization being chaotic and weak, and thus came up with the current method of restructuring.

Fighting is a typical one minute on stage, ten years of work off stage, and the backup organization is not good enough. Fighting ahead must be timid.

Yan Xi is very confident in her countermeasures, because someone has already given the answer first - Song Beiming did a good job.

The reason why the Snow-Treading Army is invincible is because the Beiyuan Palace is behind them, and Song Beiming's secret preparations are the confidence of the Snow-Treading Army.

Yan Xi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Ling Han said very well, what do Si Li and Ji Zhang think?"

Jia Zongru and Zhou Xu are both people who understand a little bit. Now they cast all their hearts on Yan Xi and obey Yanxi's words. Now they understand the advantages and disadvantages of each, and immediately express their opinions.

Jia Zongru said: "There are many troops stationed in Yue Xi, and there are transportation links connecting the three counties. They can be used as a transfer in military supplies. Everything is subject to the orders of the governor."

Zhou Xu said: "There are many war horses in Xizhou, and several horse farms supply half of the war horses in the western region. You can build a war horse department in Xizhou, and it will also be managed by the military supply department."

Yan Xi's face became more and more gentle: "With concerted efforts, great things will surely be achieved. Ziyan, you should draw up a regulation for the operation of the Military Supplies Department, and the three princesses will come to discuss it in two days."

Wen Yan immediately saluted and responded, and wrote down the important points just discussed on the paper.

Dong Zhengfu listened for a long while, these things had nothing to do with him, but Yan Xi let him hear the whole thing, and he knew that Yan Xi had deep meaning.

He couldn't help thinking in a certain direction, but he also felt that the position involved a lot, and if he did it well, Yan Xi might not give such an important position to such an inexperienced student supervisor.

Dong Zhengfu was flustered in his heart, and suddenly felt the room quiet down, and several pairs of eyes fell on him.

He slowly raised his head, facing Yan Xi's gentle eyes.

Yan Xi said: "Qingling, the Military Supplies Department was created at the beginning, and there is no establishment. Report to the Ministry of Officials, whether it will be approved, or how long it will be approved. There is no certainty. But right now, things are complicated and urgent., I have to do it right away. I will arrange a sixth-grade experience in the Governor's Mansion to do the work of the Military Supply Department, would you like it?"

Dong Zhengfu's eyes lit up, he had a great ambition, but it was so miraculously put to use.Excitement surged, his eye sockets were visibly red, he knelt down in the middle, kowtowed sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Dutai, for your kindness."

Yan Xi said: "In the future, going to various villages, prefectures, and counties to ask for food will inevitably involve all kinds of disputes. When sending food to the military camp, everything must be thoughtful. The business of the racecourse involves a lot of profits. Everything is difficult to handle.It’s hard for you to do everything well. There are not enough people, so you can just ask me.”

Dong Zhengfu heard that Yan Xi's every sentence was focused on profit and loss, and every sentence was caring for subordinate officials, being famous is not as good as meeting him, he finally understood why the lamp bearer would choose such a prince.

An excellent prince is the hope of those who hold the lamp, and it is also the new life of Da Jing.

Dong Zhengfu's heart was surging, he held back his tears and bowed again.

Once the meeting hall opened, it lasted for two hours.

Zi Yuan got the death order from Song Beiming, and she had to watch Yan Xi eat and rest.

Seeing that noon had passed, she bit the bullet and said outside the hall: "Master, Beiyuan Palace has sent some important things."

Beiyuan Palace in Jingdu?

Yan Xi couldn't figure it out for a while, but when he looked at the sun again, he guessed that it was Song Beiming who was urging him to eat. He couldn't help but smile, and said in the dull room: "This is the tentative discussion today, and I still need to make a decision."We will discuss the matter in the afternoon. There is no rush, everyone is tired, so we will go back and discuss later."

He got up first to go out, and Zi Yuan followed him to the inner courtyard.

Passing through the inner door, Zi Yuan whispered in his ear: "The third master ordered someone to bring the ledger and keys from Jingdu, and it just arrived this morning. There are 240 ledger books in total, and the keys of shops in various places.One hundred and twenty. The principals of each hall have come to recognize the master in batches these days, and a few of them are staying in the guest house today, and the master can pass it on anytime when he is free."

Zi Yuan now follows Yan Xi closely, and changed her name to Yan Xi's master, and in order to distinguish Song Beiming, she changed her name to Song Beiming's third master.

Yan Xi didn't expect that Beiyuan Palace really sent something, and it was Song Beiming's most important net worth.

The golden key worn around the neck aroused heat, pressing it against his chest, making Yan Xi's heart turn a thousand times.Song Beiming has this kind of ability, even if he is not in front of him, he can turn his heart upside down.

Yan Xi stopped in front of her room door, and saw sandalwood boxes lined up neatly inside, pasted with red paper and tied with red silk.

In the middle lay an envelope with a red auspicious pattern on it, and the gilt handwriting on it was strong and powerful-my wife personally signed it.

It is the character of Song Beiming.

Damn, Song Beiming hired him.
