Li Xian pulled Lu Shisan away mysteriously. Lu Shisan was a little uncomfortable with this sudden intimate action. He followed Li Xian's footsteps, not knowing where he was going to pull himself. The two walked a hundred meters, and Li Xian pulled him up to a high slope and stopped.

Pointing at the soldiers who were building the camp below, Li Xian asked with some enthusiasm: "Personnel Lu, do you think my subordinates are still majestic?"

When Li Xian said this, he remembered Zhou Lang.

But Lu Shisan is definitely not Jiang Gan.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Shisan's face was distorted and ugly because of the entanglement. His face turned red. After all, he was not used to lying: "This... looks more like a group of refugees."

Li Xian gave him a blank look and said, "You are a good person, just the same, can't you say compliments?"

Lu Shisan said seriously: "It's a refugee, but it's actually a compliment to you."

Li Xian smiled and was not angry, but stared at Lu Shisan's face with a thief, making Lu Shisan a little embarrassed: "Young leader, what are you... doing?"

Li Xian waved his hand with a smile and said, "Person Lu, don't worry, I really have no interest in men. Of course, you just said that my subordinates are not as good as refugees. I know it's not a lie. Actually, what I want to ask is... How long did General Luo give you this time?"

Lu Shisan said: "The general only said that he asked me to send me the message and went back, there was no specified time."

Li Xian chuckled, like a little fox who was about to steal a chicken. Looking at Li Xian's smile, Lu Shisan gradually felt an ominous feeling in his heart. He subconsciously took a step back and looked at Li Xian and said, "I will never follow the thief, don't want me to follow you!"

Li Xian's smile stopped abruptly, but changed into a sincere face and said, "Person Lu, you underestimate me too much. I will never do anything to force others. You are a sixth-rank captain with three hundred Tiger Cavalry under your command. Of course, you will not give up your future. Besides, we don't have that deep friendship, right?"

Lu Shisan hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, what the young master said is true."

Li Xian said: "Of course, although we don't have a deep friendship, we still have a friendship after all. Since General Luo Yi has not set a date for you to go back, can you stay for a few months to help me train soldiers?"

Lu Shisan's face turned into a pig's liver, and finally sighed: "Young leader, I am an official army, you are a bandit, to be honest, I have no intention of leading troops to suppress your village, and I already feel guilty. Can you stop saying such irrelevant words? If the general hadn't appreciated you quite well, even if I, the Tiger Prince, wouldn't take action, I would have led the soldiers of Zhuo County to Yanshan."

Li Xian was stunned and then said angrily: "What's wrong with me? The bandits are not humans? Besides, if you guide these people, they are not thieves, but a group of real soldiers!"

Lu Shisanji asked seriously: "Then tell me, what are your plans for training troops?"

Li Xian said word by word: "Go to Liaodong!"

Lu Shisan was stunned again. He looked at Li Xian like a monster, then shook his head and said, "Go to Liaodong to die?"

Li Xian smiled and said, "Person Lu, your words are already very ruthless."

Lu Shisan said seriously: "I can't lie, I say whatever I have. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the general knew that I would offend many people and did not release me for office, but stayed in the Hu Ben Cavalry as a captain. In the battle of Liaodong, although my Great Sui Mansion was unparalleled in combat, and even had millions of good families from all over the world to join the army, this battle was indeed in my opinion."

"The weather in Liaodong is very cold, suitable for war, which is from April to August. Goguryeo has been preparing for nearly two years. As far as I know, Liaodong City has been built now like an iron barrel. That ghost place can snow in September, and even if the weather is cold, it can freeze. Once the army is dragged down, it will only return without success. Young leader, your thousand-digit refugees... Even if the soldiers of Qianjie soldiers practice for a few months, they will only die. What's more, I'm afraid that you will be suppressed by the court if you can't reach Liaodong. Young leader, you see that you are a smart person, how could you think of such a stupid thing?"

Li Xian asked: "Do you think the Sui Dynasty will be defeated?"

Lu Shisan said seriously: "You will not lose, but you will not win either. I am afraid that it will be useless and will only cost countless money and food."

From this sentence, Li Xian could hear Lu Shisan's pride as a border guard of the Great Sui army. Yes, almost no one thought that this battle against Goguryeo would be defeated. At best, the clown of Gao Yuan could piece together 300,000 old, weak and remnants, and what could he do to fight against the invincible Great Sui army? Li Xian wanted to tell Lu Shisan that this battle was not unbeaten, but in fact it was the defeat. The 300,000 elite government soldiers buried their bones in a foreign land. The Sui country's national strength declined from then on. In fact, it was the three conquests of Goguryeo that led the Great Sui empire, which was full of vitality as the rising sun, to destruction.

If it weren't for the three campaigns of Goryeo, the Great Sui Dynasty ruined hundreds of thousands of government soldiers, which could be called the pillar of the country, and consumed countless money and grain. With the strength of the Great Sui Dynasty, how could it decline so quickly?

Li Xian took a deep breath and said sadly: "Although I think there is little chance of winning this battle of the Sui Dynasty, since I was born as a Sui Dynasty, I still hope that the Sui Dynasty can defeat it. Yes, I am a bandit, but the bandits are not without conscience. Although I am not loyal to the emperor, I love this country. Although I don't have much strength, I can't ignore it in the end. Even if I can help some insignificant little things in secret, I can only count my efforts as a Han Chinese."

He turned to look at Lu Shisan and said, "Person Lu, maybe I will die in Liaodong in battle, or maybe these refugees you call will die in Liaodong in battle, but if you are willing to help me, their hope of survival will be greater. They are all the people of the Sui Dynasty who were forced to follow the thief. Since you are willing to contribute to the country, can you really bear to watch them die?"

Lu Shisan was silent and moved.

"You are the leader of the family, I would like to advise you not to go to Liaodong."

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Since I was born in the world, a real man will do what he does not do, and he will do what he must do. I have made up my mind and only ask for help from Master Lu."

Lu Shisan was silent for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I will stay here for a month, and I can only do so much. Little head of the family... I have to admire you!"

Li Xian was moved and said, "Thank you, Captain Lu for being righteous!"

He put his hand behind him, stretched out his index finger and middle finger to gesture one and two, and then said happily in his heart: Hahaha... he cheated one more.

Li Xian said: "Then, tomorrow I will send someone to Niushan, Shanggu County to pick up my grandfather and the others. There is no need to set a one-month period. How about you bring someone away when my grandfather and the others arrive?"

Lu Shisan said: "If you are more anxious from Pui Niushan to here, the round trip will be almost the same in a month. Well, I agree with you."

After thinking about it, Lu Shisan said, "I hope the young master will remember what I will do to you today. If my general asks you for help in the future, I hope the young master will never refuse."

Li Xian said seriously: "That's natural. General Luo's help is remembered in his heart!"

Lu Shisan said: "Five!"

Li Xian stretched out his left hand and said, "Swear!"

The two men slapped three times and then burst into laughter. Li Xian smiled like a fox who had already made a fox. But for some reason, Lu Shisan smiled so brightly. Li Xian naturally couldn't hear the voice in Lu Shisan's heart, otherwise his pride of deceiving people and succeeding would immediately fade. Because before Lu Shisan came, Luo Yi had told him that if Li Xian had any requests, he would agree, but there was one thing, let Li Xian remember the help of Luo Yi in Youzhou!

Of course, Li Xian actually doesn't care about the matter of swearing. If there is any benefit, let alone the oath, it's nothing wrong with killing chicken heads and burning yellow paper to become sworn brothers with Lu Shisan. Anyway, in Li Xian's concept, he would definitely not be struck by lightning when talking about small things like panic. Just as he had planned to steal these thousand snatches into his hands from the beginning, but he would never show his greed. Since he wanted to grab them, he would have to rob them artistically, so that all these soldiers would follow him wholeheartedly.

Practicing good skills is naturally an important means to save your life, but having power under your command is much more useful than having skills.

On the second day, Li Xian asked Chen Queer and Fu Hunu to bring fifty selected loyal soldiers to Faiushan to pick up Zhang Zhongjian and others, and he began to train soldiers.

He has the military notes about He Ruobi's lifelong battle, as well as the two years of teachings from Daxi Changru. When he looked at the training of Tie Liaolang and Lu Shisan, Li Xian had a lot of experience. From the most basic queue to the arrangement, the cooperation and coordination of various troops, he asked Lu Shisan and Tie Liaolang in detail, and the two of them knew everything.

...

...

On the side of the school ground that was opened, Ji Haotian looked at Li Xian who was training soldiers in the distance, with a gloomy face.

Who is this Li Xian?

He had sent someone to check it out. There is an elite light cavalry stationed at the foot of the mountain with more than 500 people. It is true that the equipment is indeed the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty. It is obvious that it was brought by the person who came to see Li Xian yesterday. Judging from the banner, it should be the soldiers of Youzhou. From this, it can be seen that the person who came to see Li Xian should be a fifth-rank general. Why did a high-ranking official of this level be so polite when he met Li Xian? Even with a little humility?

He had never seen it, nor had he ever thought that a regular official army of more than 500 people would be indifferent even though he knew that there was a bandit nest not far away. If the thousand people on Yanshan were wiped out, their military achievements would be enough. The other generals of the fifth rank were only one level different from the Ying Yanglang General, but their real power was very different. Ying Yanglang General, that was a real power high-ranking official that many people dreamed of in their lifetime.

Of course he didn't know that Lu Shisan was actually just a sixth-rank captain, but he was deeply trusted by Luo Yi.

He didn't know that Luo Yi's official position was just mentioned as a third-rank general a while ago.

He could not have known that the five hundred light cavalry at the foot of the mountain was only a part of the people, and there were still one thousand five hundred people who had already departed to the other side of Yanshan. Luo Yi gave Lu Shisan the order to act at the camera, and if Li Xian had any unfair intentions, he would slaughter the Yanshan Village.

Because Luo Yi didn't expect that in just one month, Li Xian could actually pull up a team of thousands of people!

...

...

Seeing Lu Shisan shouting at the soldiers' training, meticulously, Li Xian frowned slightly, thinking about something.

Did Luo Yi... finally show his murderous aura?

If it weren't for liaring Lu Shisan yesterday, if it weren't for saying anything that he was willing to go to Liaodong to die, would Lu Shisan still stand on the school ground to help train soldiers today? Although he did not deliberately show his gratitude to Luo Yi, Lu Shisan should have felt it.

Li Xian smiled bitterly in his heart. This lie... is really not just a lie. Yesterday, Lu Shisan kept staring at his eyes. Fortunately, I learned how to use his eyes to deceive people. I had learned a long time ago.
