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

Inside the Central Army tent of the Dingzhou General, several people were drinking merrily.

Han Mingdao picked up a bottle of 【Forget-Worry Brew】 and smelled it in front of his nose, revealing an intoxicated expression, and then said.

"So this wine was brewed by Lieutenant Li, it's truly good wine."

"Old Han has no other hobbies in this life, just likes to drink a little."

"But this kind of good wine brewed by Lieutenant Li, I've never seen before."

"Old Han admires it very much."

Li Yuan hurriedly cupped his hands and replied.

"It is an honor for this humble officer that the General likes it."

"When we return to Qingyuan, this humble officer will definitely offer good wine."

Hearing this, the Dingzhou General laughed heartily.

He waved his hand casually and said.

"Lieutenant Li is a talented man of my Dingzhou, brewing wine is just a small matter, killing enemies for the country is the real business."

"Speaking of which, Lieutenant Li has made so many contributions, and I, as the Dingzhou General, have not yet given any rewards, which is not right."

Han Mingdao lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said.

"How about this, the iron armor that the Marquis rewarded me, I will give you three sets, three war horses, and I will allocate another fifty sets of leather armor inlaid with iron armor."

"These military equipment are considered the Dingzhou Military Governor's Office's reward for your merits."

"Is Lieutenant Li satisfied?"

Li Yuan understood that the Dingzhou General was showing goodwill to him.

To give himself so many things, Han Mingdao was already making a big sacrifice.

He hurriedly got up, saluted, and said gratefully.

"This humble officer thanks the General for the reward."

Seeing Li Yuan accept his reward, the Dingzhou General nodded with satisfaction, and then comforted him warmly.

"Good, Lieutenant Li, just work hard in my Dingzhou Prefecture."

"If you have any needs, just tell me."

"As long as I am here, I will definitely not mistreat Lieutenant Li."

Li Yuan understood in his heart that the Dingzhou General was afraid that he would be poached by other prefectures.

Li Yuan hurriedly promised again and again that he was willing to stay in Dingzhou.

He would never be bewitched by outsiders and defect elsewhere.

Han Mingdao was satisfied to see that Li Yuan was very sensible.

The banquet was naturally enjoyed by both host and guest.

It seemed that he should be more friendly with this Brother Li Yuan in the future, maybe his own future lies with him.

Now that they were in front of the army, Li Yuan and the Dingzhou General did not dare to drink too much.

Seeing that they had talked almost enough, Li Yuan took his leave with the supplies rewarded by the Dingzhou General.

After Li Yuan left the tent, he first thanked Zhang Kui for the introduction.

Zhang Kui knew in his heart that this was not an introduction at all, but that the two superiors wanted to be close to Li Yuan.

He was also acting under orders.

But Li Yuan gave him face, and he was also grateful in his heart.

Zhang Kui helped Li Yuan send the supplies rewarded by the Dingzhou General to the camp of the Dongxiang soldier households, and then took his leave.

After seeing Zhang Kui off, Li Yuan summoned all the Dongxiang village soldier households.

Centurion Xue Dacheng was responsible for distributing these armors and weapons to the soldier households.

He didn't dare to move the two hundred sets of iron armor rewarded by the Marquis of Longxiang now, because taking them out would be too eye-catching and would arouse jealousy.

It was easy to be resented, and Li Yuan was worried about how to increase the armor penetration rate of his subordinates.

The armor rewarded by the Dingzhou General was just right.

The three sets of full-body iron armor were naturally for himself, Cui Yong, and Centurion Xue.

These three are currently the highest in martial strength among the Dongxiang soldier households.

Their bodies are also strong enough to cope with the burden of wearing iron armor.

The short body armor they took off was exchanged for Cui Ping, Liu Heizi, Uncle Fu and the others.

The remaining soldier households were also allocated the leather armor and iron-inlaid armor rewarded by the Dingzhou General.

In addition to the armor that Li Yuan bought from Xu Niangzi.

After piecing things together, these eighty-odd Dongxiang soldier households had completed the full armor.

This was a bit of life-saving capital on the battlefield where swords and spears had no eyes.

This made the soldier households of other military forts very envious.

Some soldier households from other military forts even sneaked over to ask if Dongxiang Village was still accepting people.

Although Li Yuan wanted to expand the team, now was not the time.

After all, directly snatching people from other military forts was the most resentful thing, and it was not appropriate at this time when the enemy was at hand.

But as the war continued, there would be plenty of opportunities to recruit unattached soldier households, and Li Yuan was not in a hurry.

For seven days in a row, the Tiele people on the other side were quiet.

Every day, they only sent out small groups of scouts to monitor the movements of the Liang army along the north bank of the Chishui River.

They did not cross the river, nor did they take the initiative to attack.

The strange situation of the Tiele people made Li Yuan suspicious.

With the character of the Tiele people, they would never waste food in one place, neither attacking nor retreating.

And what Li Yuan could do was to continue to build various war machines from his previous life in the craftsman camp, to increase the Liang army's chances of winning.

On the eighth day, Li Yuan was summoned by the Marquis of Longxiang to the central army to discuss matters.

Obviously, this Marquis also realized that something was wrong.

Entering the big tent, Li Yuan was about to bow and salute.

The Marquis of Longxiang, Bai Jing, raised his hand to stop him and said.

"Lieutenant Li, now that the military situation is unclear, let's skip these formalities, come over and help me figure it out."

"What will the Tiele people do next, and how should we respond?"

Li Yuan did not rush to answer, but glanced at the state of the female Marquis.

He saw that the Marquis of Longxiang, Bai Jing, had a worried look on his face.

Her beautiful face seemed a little haggard.

Her very heroic features looked a little vicissitudes.

The female Marquis sighed and continued to say.

"These days, I have also consulted with several other prefectural generals about the military situation."

"But they couldn't say anything either."

"I just feel that the Tiele people are strange, but I can't say where they are strange."

"So I can only ask Lieutenant Li to come over and discuss it."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and asked.

"Does the Marquis have a map of the Chishui River and Beichuan Road area?"

The so-called map is actually an ancient map.

It's just that the maps of this era are drawn relatively roughly, and you can barely see a general outline.

The female Marquis nodded and asked Bai Yuxuan to take a scroll from the wooden frame beside her.

After unfolding it, it was indeed a map of the geographical roads around the Chishui River.

Li Yuan was right, the map was drawn very freely, and only the approximate terrain could be seen.

But fortunately, the main routes and the required schedule were marked.

It was barely usable.

Li Yuan leaned on the table and carefully checked the various fords and routes along the Chishui River.

Then he calculated with his fingers.

Looking at Li Yuan's handsome profile, and his serious planning appearance, the female Marquis felt a burst of inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

She hurriedly picked up the cool tea beside her and took a sip to cool down her heart.

She didn't know why, but recently, when she saw Li Yuan, she had a strange feeling in her heart.

It was like a grass rabbit jumping in her arms.

She always wanted to find a chance to say a few more words to this handsome Lieutenant Li.

Or stay together for a while longer.

Her eyes always inadvertently swept over Li Yuan's tall figure.

However, Li Yuan did not pay attention to these small actions of the female Marquis.

Only Bai Yuxuan, the younger sister beside her, noticed something with her eyes flickering slightly.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the guards lit the candles in the tent.

The female Marquis personally held the candlestick and stood behind Li Yuan, illuminating the map for him.

Li Yuan turned around and asked.

"Where is the nearest other ford on the Chishui River from the Red Sand Ford where we are now?"
