Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 28 Qixian’s task of guarding the border

Actually, when my uncle Chen Yan wanted to find a position in the army formed by the Chen family, Liu Ji’s first reaction was to refuse. Asking his father Liu Hao for his opinion was just an excuse.

Liu Ji is not afraid to join the army to kill the enemy. After passing through this turbulent era, and after this period of adaptation, Liu Ji is already prepared to fight on the battlefield, not to mention that he has several military officers with superb martial arts. If you want to stand out in this troubled world, you can’t do it hard if you don’t work hard.

The problem is that Liu Ji, who has been idle in the last life, is unwilling to be an affiliate of the Chen family. Even if the Chen family is his mother’s family, he is unwilling. Liu Ji is very convinced of the reason that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. .

Chen Yan then took Liu Ji and his party away from the farm in the Chen family and rushed to the county seat of Qixian County. Chen Yan planned to place Liu Ji and others in the Chen family mansion. Anyway, the Chen family mansion had many vacancies. , Let alone Liu Ji, even if it is ten times or twenty times more, the Chen family mansion can easily live in.

And not long after Chen Yan, Liu Ji and others left the farm, Liu Ji’s other uncle, Chen Qi, rode a war horse and brought four cavalry back to the farm.

Manager Chen Baocai immediately reported to Chen Qi about the trip to Wanzhou. Chen Qi heard that 441 young men were recruited at one time. He suddenly smiled and praised Chen Baocai fiercely. Cheng Yi, who was given to Liu Ji as a groom, was excluded from recruiting victims, and he did not even mention it to Chen Qi. After all, he was just a male victim.

However, when Chen Baocai mentioned that he met Liu Ji and his party on the way, Chen Qi frowned and asked, “My nephew, there are really 6 generals wearing iron armor? And among those 6 generals, there are 5 people. Still have a war horse?”

Chen Baocai nodded and said: “Young Master, it is true, and the martial arts of the few masters who represent the young masters are absolutely extraordinary, and the old slaves feel that those few may not be worse than the martial arts of the young masters and the second young masters.”

“Where are they now?”

“The second young master came over just now and took the young master Biao and his party to the county seat.”

“Well, my nephew’s mother is a female compatriot with my second child. It’s normal for my second child to be kind to this nephew, but our Chen family’s army is currently short of manpower. It’s best to let the second child persuade my nephew to take care of those The family will be placed in the army of our Chen family. If he is really capable, even if he is a military officer, the lieutenant will not be stingy.”

Then Chen Qi sighed and said to Chen Baocai, “Thanks to the butler this time, you have recruited so many young men, otherwise it will be difficult to handle it next time.”

Chen Baocai asked hurriedly, “Master, what happened?”

“The magistrate king asked the families of Qixian County to gather 800 soldiers and horses within seven days to go to Qianzhou in the north to defend the border!” Chen Qi said with a wry smile.

“Bianbian! Young master, how can the people from Qixian be sent to the Bianbian. The various families in Qixian have formed an army to prevent robbers!” Chen Baocai was shocked as soon as he heard it. You must know that this time is going to the 4 people in the north next to the grassland. The state’s border defense is basically tantamount to going back without going back.

There are 4 prefectures in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty, Qianzhou, Pizhou, Qinzhou and Xiangzhou. Many areas have become hunting grounds for Hu cavalry. Many important border towns are almost useless, and many border towns have even fallen into the grassland nomadic tribes. Under such circumstances, the situation that one would face when going to the borders of the four states and the grasslands can be imagined.

Chen Qi said helplessly: “This time defending the border is the imperial decree. In order to rebuild the grassland defense line of the Da Jin Dynasty resistance, each state and county of the Da Jin Dynasty must send troops to the northern prefectures to defend the border. Our Changping County assigned the task. The prefect immediately asked the counties to draw lots. As a result, our Qi County was quite unlucky. We got the lottery. We could only collect 500 people and send them to the border town of Qianzhou. The magistrate of Wangji wanted to prevent all the way out. What’s the accident? There were not enough people at the Qianzhou border, so I planned to send 300 more people.”

After a pause, Chen Qi continued to complain: “Now Wang Ji has asked our families in Qixian County to gather 800 people, but the Wang family has not come out even a single soldier. It is really annoying! What is even more depressing is that Wang Ji said this. After all, there are 800 people, and the leader must be a school lieutenant. The imperial court also has such a rule, and if no school lieutenant is willing to lead the troops to Qianzhou within these three days, a lottery will be conducted. Qixian Now 19 school lieutenants have to draw lots. Whoever wins the draw will lead 800 people to Qianzhou to defend the border!”

Chen Baocai said angrily: “Young Master, I knew that this way, our Chen family would not go to the Wang family’s side. Isn’t this letting people go to Qianzhou to die! Young master, how many people can we get from the Chen family?”

“In this year, if we don’t have a soldier in hand, and we can’t sleep well, our Chen family leans against the Wang family to control an army just for the sake of justice! It’s useless to say anything else. This time we will have 90 people in the Chen family. If it were not for you to bring back more than 400 young and strong men this time, our Chen family would have to pick out almost half of the previous more than 180 people to go to Qianzhou. These more than 180 people are all from our Chen family. I was selected from among the tenants, who were the most loyal to our Chen family. Almost half of them were sent to Qianzhou to die in vain. I really can’t bear it. Now it’s fine. I can pick out 90 of these 400 young and strong males. Hand it over.” Chen Qi said with a sigh.

Chen Baocai hesitated and said, “Master, there shouldn’t be any school lieutenant who took the initiative to go to Qianzhou, if the lottery…”

“Bah baah baah! Butler, don’t curse this young master, 19 captains, how could this young master be so unlucky! Hurry up and pick out 90 of the 400 young and strong men, so that you can deal with this matter. By the way, remember to pick some people who are older than their bodies. Anyway, they’re just going to die.”

Chen Yan took Liu Ji and the others all the way to the county seat of Qixian County, and then Chen Yan greeted the officers and soldiers of the city gate, and Liu Ji and the others successfully entered the county seat of Qixian County, even the twin sisters Lin Xiya and Lin Xiwen. The officers and soldiers of the city gate did not search the carriages they were in, and the face of the second young master of the Chen family was still good in Qixian County.

However, after Chen Yan brought Liu Ji and they arrived at the Chen family’s ancestor house, they were stopped by another housekeeper of the Chen family at the gate. The housekeeper said that the master only invited Liu Ji in.

So the others had to wait outside the gate, and Chen Yan took Liu Ji into the Chen family’s ancestor house.

Liu Ji walked inside while pondering, wondering what his grandfather, who had never met, meant. He didn’t let his family and subordinates enter the door of Chen’s house, and only let him go to see him alone.

Liu Ji followed Chen Yan and the housekeeper to the outside of a house in the Chen family’s ancestor house. The housekeeper said: “Second young master, this young master, the master is in the study.”

Chen Yan walked to the closed door of the study, “Father, the son of the fifth sister’s family is here.”

“Bring him in!” An old voice came from the study.

Liu Ji followed Chen Yan and walked into the study. He saw an old man with gray hair and beard sitting behind a book case. This should be his grandfather.
