Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Li Yuan and Yuan Li entered the yamen's main hall.

By this time, the eight Captains had also arrived one after another.

According to the military law of the Great Liang, those who did not arrive before the third drumbeat for gathering the generals would be flogged.

So, in no time at all.

Everyone had arrived.

At this moment, the main hall of the garrison yamen was brightly lit.

The garrison officer, Lin Wanshan, was also fully armored, pacing back and forth in the hall with a frown.

Seeing that all the Captains had arrived.

He sat down in the main seat and said to everyone in a deep voice.

"I just received a military report from the Inspector-General's office."

"The Northern Barbarian Tiele tribe has raised an army of 30,000, and their advance troops have already passed the North Stone Pass."

"The four garrison cities on the border have all fallen."

"The imperial court has ordered General Yunqi, Marquis Longxiang Bai, to command the troops from Huai, Ding, Wei, and Qing prefectures to resist the enemy,"

"Our Ding Prefecture will mobilize six battalions of prefectural soldiers and soldiers from various counties to converge with the main force at the Red Water River."

"The military situation is urgent. By noon tomorrow, the soldiers from each village must be assembled and ready to depart immediately!"

As soon as the garrison commander finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall.

"These Northern Barbarians have no integrity!"

"They accept our tribute, yet they still send troops to attack!"

"Northern Barbarians will always be Northern Barbarians!"

"Silence!"

The garrison commander shouted, and the hall became quiet.

The Captains in the hall all looked solemn and exchanged glances.

At this moment, a Captain stepped forward and said with a troubled expression, cupping his hands.

"Reporting to the Garrison Commander, half of the soldiers in our fort's villages are new recruits who have been enlisted for less than a month."

"I'm afraid they will be difficult to fight with. If they go to the Red Water River... I'm afraid..."

The Captain didn't continue, but everyone present knew what he meant.

Sending half of the new recruits to the Red Water River to face the Tiele cavalry would likely result in the annihilation of the entire army.

The garrison commander Lin Wanshan also sighed.

How could he not know that the soldiers under his command were all newly recruited farmers?

They had been training for less than a month, and sending them to the front line now was basically sending them to their deaths.

But the military situation was urgent, and the orders could not be disobeyed.

Lin Wanshan waved his hand and said.

"If the Red Water River cannot stop the Tiele army, our Ding Prefecture will inevitably fall."

"We have no retreat."

That is to say, he had to go back immediately to mobilize all the soldiers in Dongxiang Village.

Li Yuan wrote a handwritten order and had Xiaoxia ride a horse to send it to the head of Dongxiang Village overnight.

In addition, the necessary grain and supplies for the expedition must also be prepared as much as possible.

Those Captains were all experienced. After sending the military orders, they went straight to the weapon shops in the crossroads.

Before the expedition, everyone had to gather as many weapons as possible.

Li Yuan was no exception. He turned the corner and came directly to the front of Xu's Ironware Shop.

As expected, not many people knew about this place, and no other Captains came here to buy military equipment.

Li Yuan hurried forward and knocked hard on the door ring.

Before long, the door of the shop opened a crack.

Revealing the face of a young girl, it was the little maid Heini from that day.

Rubbing her eyes and yawning, she muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Who is it, knocking on the door so hard in the middle of the night?"

Just opening a crack in the door, she was surprised to see Li Yuan.

This person looked familiar. She remembered that this was the Li Langjun who had come to buy weapons a few days ago.

The girl asked somewhat timidly.

"May I ask what Langjun needs?"

Li Yuan directly took out the red iron waist card that could prove his identity as a Captain.

"You heard the drums of the fort just now, right?"

"The military situation is urgent. I am going to join the army and need to buy some weapons."

Heini hesitated.

It was the middle of the night.

The Xu family's ironware shop was full of women.

It might not be appropriate to let a man in now.

Just as she was hesitating, another woman's voice came from behind Heini.

"Alian, who is calling at the door?"

At this time, Li Yuan knew that Heini's name was Alian.

The person who asked the question was naturally Xu Niangzi.

She came to the door with a lantern, and after looking through the crack in the door, she saw that it was the Li Langjun who had bought military equipment last time.

Then she saw the red iron waist card in Li Yuan's hand, and her eyes widened.

"So Li Langjun is a Captain of the fort."

But she secretly slandered in her heart, last time he actually deceived herself that he was just a small squad leader.

Xu Niangzi instructed Alian.

"Open the door, Captain must have received an order to go on an expedition."

"He wants to find some useful armor in our shop."

"Yes."

Heini Alian quickly opened the door.

Li Yuan stepped into the shop.

Alian hurriedly lit the candles to illuminate the shop.

Li Yuan looked at Xu Niangzi in front of him.

Perhaps because she got up in a hurry, Xu Niangzi's hair and clothes were a little messy.

Li Yuan was unconsciously attracted by the majestic peaks.

Looking down, the curve of her waist was beautiful.

Followed by the amazing arc outlined by the hip line.

Li Yuan swallowed.

He quickly turned his gaze away.

Such a mature and charming body, if he continued to look, Li Yuan was really afraid that he would not be able to hold back.

Xu Niangzi took a few steps closer and asked, tidying up her black hair with her hand.

"Li Langjun, what kind of weapons do you need?"

Li Yuan waved his hand very boldly and said.

"Xu Niangzi, I don't need to choose, I want all the weapons in your shop!"

Xu Niangzi was stunned and said quickly.

"Li Langjun may not know that there are many armors and weapons stored in my shop."

"There are twelve sets of armor, seventy-five knives and spears, twenty iron helmets, five bows, arrows..."

Li Yuan stretched out his hand to stop Xu Niangzi from continuing.

"Xu Niangzi, can you calculate how much silver all the weapons together cost?"

Xu Niangzi calculated in her heart.

"The goods in the shop total two hundred and fifteen strings."

Li Yuan nodded and said.

"Send all the weapons to No. 3 Bingzi, Anping Lane, Qian Street later."

Xu Niangzi was stunned.

"Huh? Isn't that where Captain Wei Lun used to........"

"Don't ask, that is my residence now."

Xu Niangzi didn't ask any more questions, but hurried to find someone to carry the armor.

Leaving the ironware shop, Li Yuan strode towards the grain and rice shop.

This was a grain shop inherited from Wei Lun.

When he found this shop, he found that the door was still closed.

Li Yuan knocked on the door, and an old soldier came out from inside.

It seemed that he was the person arranged by the fort to watch the shop.

When he saw Li Yuan wearing a red iron waist card.

He quickly bowed and saluted.

"May I ask what this Captain has to order?"

Li Yuan didn't waste any words.

"I am the new owner of this grain shop, Captain Li Yuan."

"I ask you, how much rice and grain is still in the shop?"

The old soldier thought for a while and replied quickly.

"There are still twenty-five shi of millet, twelve shi of wheat flour, and countless miscellaneous grains of various colors in the warehouse."

Li Yuan knew that it would be extremely difficult to expect the poor soldiers of Dongxiang Village to provide their own food.

Especially now that it was the time when the old and new crops were not yet connected, and many families could not even make ends meet.

So he could only rely on himself to prepare the food.

There was a lot of grain in this shop, which should be enough to support the expedition of Dongxiang Village this time.

He once again thanked Wei Lun, who had already received his lunch box.

At this time, the sky was gradually brightening.

When Li Yuan returned to the house, Xu Niangzi was waiting in front of the door.

Behind her were several porters, who had already carried all the armors and weapons from the shop.

Li Yuan took out the silver from his home and handed it to Xu Niangzi.

Fortunately, he got more than 800 strings of money from selling linen and wine yesterday.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to pay so much at once.

Seeing that this Captain Li paid the payment without hesitation.

Xu Niangzi was naturally happy in her heart.

She hurriedly saluted Li Yuan and said.

"This little woman congratulates Captain on his triumphant return."
