In the north of Lanzhou, King Tuoba had been waiting here for a long time, waiting for Xu Jie to send a large number of crossbows and thick armor.

The one who waited first was not Xu Jie, but Lao Tuoba Wang.

The father and son sat opposite each other, Tuoba Ye looked anxious: "Father, then Xu Jie won't be a fraud, right?"

Tuoba Hao waved his hand: "No, he is still waiting for Tuoba and Shi Wei to fight to the death."

Tuoba Ye nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Father, I'll go to see Mond Khan."

Tuoba Hao was not surprised when he heard this, but asked, "But the alliance has been negotiated again?"

Tuoba Ye nodded: "The talk has been completed. In early November, we will raise our troops south together."

Tuoba Hao frowned and replied, "It's time for heavy snow in early November. It's so sad this winter."

"Father, Mond Khan hated Xu Jie to the core, and wanted to peel off his bones and eat meat, and swear to break the Central Plains. I didn't even say much about the alliance. He took the initiative to speak, and even revealed his military plan. The main attack direction was not in Datong. Father, I really believed it 70% or 80 points." Tuoba Ye said.

Tuoba Hao replied: "No matter what, just hold the troops unmoved. If Shi Wei's army broke through the Great Wall Pass and entered Yanyun and entered the Central Plains, Tuoba's troops could truly move south."

Some things are like this. Once people's hearts change, you must always be on guard against them.

But just such a defense brings distrust. Distrust means mutual. Tuoba is guarding against Wei. How can Wei Wei not guard against Tuoba?

Or Shi Wei had been on guard against Tuoba for a long time, and even thought about destroying Tuoba directly, just like Xu Jie and Lao Tuoba Wang initially thought.

Although everything is just expected, it is almost impossible to match.

Tuoba Ye nodded and replied, "I have sent someone to repair the Wulahai City. When Xu Jie's crossbow has arrived, I will be transported. The method of Shiwei people filling the city is really terrifying. The walls of Wulahai are still too short and are being raised. Guazhou is also strengthening the city defense, and arrows are also ordering people to speed up the construction."

Tuoba Hao felt a little relieved and asked, "Is there a Wei You who is walking around in Wulahai City?"

"There are many, and I heard from people that I often see Shiwei people riding from afar on the top of Wulahai City." Tuoba Ye was worried after answering.

Tuoba Hao sighed: "It seems that the Wei people in Shi were really going to attack Tuoba, and they could no longer avoid it. A few days ago, I saw Xu Jie in Xihe with many giant crossbows. When you see Xu Jie, you should exchange it with him. You must exchange it for a hundred and ten, which are extremely powerful."

Tuoba Ye asked: "Father, I'm afraid he will ask for a price all over the place."

"It's okay, as long as he is willing to give it, he will agree to him at any price. Now we are on the defensive side and don't need so many cavalry. You should also contact the Uighurs more and trade more horses with the Uighurs. If you can, it's okay to spend money to hire some Uighur soldiers and horses to help with the war. No matter how much money is, it's useless, and spend it all." Tuoba Hao talked about the essence of the matter. No matter how gold and silver are, they are dead things without having to go out. Only when they are used are valuable.

"Father, I will do what you said, and ask my father to do it. You must be more careful and take care of yourself." Tuoba Ye knew what Tuoba Hao wanted to do, and he knew how risky it was to kill Xu Jie.

Tuoba Hao nodded and stood up, leaving the big tent, leaving only one sentence: "Goodbye if you are destined to be!"

Tuoba Ye chased after him a few steps and shouted to the empty distance: "Father, I will be your son in the next life."

No one answered in the distance, but two tears fell.

Xu Jie took his time and arrived at the border with the joy of extermination of Maha.

Tuoba Ye prepared wine, suppressed his anger in his heart, and changed his smile. Zong Qing was leading people to check the horses, while Tuoba people were also counting the bows and crossbows, randomly checking the quality of the bows and crossbows.

Xu Jie sat opposite Tuobaye, without even speaking, and didn't even say a few words of greetings. Instead, he shook his head and hummed some tune, and even played the piano in his hand, which was extremely comfortable.

There is no need to say much about the anger in Tuoba Ye's heart, and he still asked with a smile: "Master Xu, I heard that when you were defending the enemy in Datong, there was a giant crossbow that worked very well in the city. I wonder if you would bring some here this time?"

Xu Jie hummed a few vaguely and replied casually: "Bed crossbow? This thing is very good, but there are too few craftsmen today who can make this thing."

Before Tuoba Ye could speak to change, he knew that there was a chance to hear Xu Jie's words, so he asked directly: "I want some too, I don't know how to change it?"

"How much do you want?" Xu Jie thought in his mind.

"One hundred!"

"One hundred?" Xu Jie raised his eyes: "I don't have one hundred in total, how can I give you one hundred?"

"How many Master Xu has?"

"At most, there are thirty ones, but there are really not many." Xu Jie replied. This statement was not a fool to Tuoba Ye. Things like bed crossbows are not that simple to be made. From winch to bow arms, the process requirements are extremely high, and even maintenance is a troublesome.

In the past hundred years, the army has been corrupt, and fewer craftsmen have actually eaten the bowl of weapons, and the stock has become less and less. Xu Jie is willing to sell it to Tuoba Stomach Crossbow, mainly because the Tuoba people can kill more Shiwei people, but it is obviously impossible to sell too much. Thirty pieces, spread on a city wall, are enough.

"Master Xu, aren't there really more? Don't worry about the price. I, Tuoba, can afford the price, whether it is gold or silver, or other things, will definitely satisfy Master Xu."

"Thirty horses, two thousand horses, there are not many, so if you want to change them, you can change them." Xu Jie spoke.

Thirty crossbows and two thousand horses are really asking for a price.

Tuoba Ye twitched the corner of his mouth and replied, "Change, please make arrangements for Master Xu."

Xu Jie just nodded with Wei Jiu beside him, and Wei Jiu had already left the tent to meet Zong Qing.

After the simple delivery, more than 10,000 cavalry drove the horses all over the mountains and the fields to the south. Xu Jie shook his head and hummed on the horse's back.

Tuoba Ye, behind him, looked at Xu Jie's back, and could only grit his teeth and curse frequently.

This time, Xu Jie went back to Bianjing, carrying more than 10,000 iron armor and nearly 20,000 horses.

When he went back this time, Xu Jie was going to do a big battle, recruit soldiers, train troops, and form an iron armored cavalry. For the time being, 30,000 iron cavalry are barely enough.

When Xu Jie returned to Beijing, there were recently rumored to recruit talents everywhere, recruiting people who practice martial arts in the world, and being equipped with strong horses and iron armor, and their salary was not low.

For the people in the martial arts world, salary is really not a temptation, but horses are definitely temptations. A strong horse is like a sports car in later generations. If you can have a mount, it will be much more attractive to many men than your salary.

Xu Jie never thought about recruiting any great masters. Those ordinary men who are in the world are enough. Although the lower-level men may not have any great martial arts, they have a brave and cruel heart, and most of them have a good body. This is what Xu Jie needs.

Many rogues in the capital were idle, so they naturally started to register at the imperial guards outside the city, but few people actually signed up and many people were waiting and watching. These people had never thought about whether to make a name for themselves or defend their country. Most of them were heading for iron armor and strong horses.

Some people are even imagining the limelight of riding a tall horse to travel to the capital. They want to stay on the horse and show off to show off in front of their friends and brothers, and also show off their power in front of their neighbors' eldest daughter-in-law and little girl.

Not many people really take joining the army seriously, and not even taking any law seriously. Not many of these people in the martial arts world are afraid of the law. If they are afraid of the law, they will not be brave enough to fight with people on the streets.

As for military law, I have heard of it, but I have never seen it. There are not only one or two military men in the capital, one of them is lazy and they have never seen any military law do anything about them.

Even many people even fish for three days and run on the Internet for two days, escape from work and go to the casino, but are not worth paying to be escort prostitutes, and are drunk and missed by errands.

Therefore, there are quite a lot of people coming from the school grounds outside the city.

Xu Jie was a little overjoyed. He was worried that no one in the martial arts world would care about the imperial court's recruitment orders, and was afraid that only a few kittens would be signed up for the army. He smiled and said, "Men, there is really no one who doesn't like sports cars."

Xu Gou'er asked in confusion: "Young Master, what is a sports car?"

"Ferrari, Lamborghini, have you heard of it? Aston Martin, Bugatti Veyron." Xu Jie was in a good mood and talked nonsense.

Xu Gou'er was confused, but saw that Xu Jie had already walked onto the stage. He shouted, "Come one by one, first take the exam for bravery, then sign the contract, and then send out horse armor."

Xu Jie's words spread throughout the audience and attracted cheers. The procedure was simple.

Someone had already jumped forward: "That general, look at the power of a certain family, the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife."

The knife is already playing, and the tiger is powerful.

Xu Jie shook his head and said, "No need to play tricks. Only two exams are taken, one exams to take foot strength and the other exams to take arm strength."

Xu Jie was not interested in the sword skills of these people. On the battlefield, the main weapons were spears and crossbows, and the secondary weapons were swords. There was nothing else. How could an army be a variety of weapons? It was not even more important to play one by one or the other.

The man who was playing with a knife in front of him was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is that simple?"

"It's that simple. Everyone first registers a list, runs in the afternoon, runs around the camp for a while, twenty or thirty miles away, the first two thousand people stay and then test their arm strength, leaving only the first one thousand people to join the army." Xu Jie replied, and the army on the side quickly recorded.

After saying that, Xu Jie had already descended from the General Stage and rushed into the city. The official documents in the Shangshu Desk have always been piled up like mountains, and no matter how they are dealt with at the desk, they will not decrease.

A few days later, Xu Jie went to the camp outside the city again. A young army general rushed to Xu Jie. After seeing him, he spoke, "Tai Shi, the general is really angry. He waits for the Tai Shi to arrive every day and must report some things in person."

Xu Jie recognized this young army general, and he once followed Xu Jie from Datong to Wulahai City and returned to the Hejian Mansion, named Zhou Nan, and is now responsible for training the new recruits of the two battalions here.

"What's the matter?" Xu Jie asked.

"The Grand Tutor is not that the last general is incompetent, but it is really not know how to deal with it. He also allows the Grand Tutor to decide a rule, so that the last general can handle it. He recruits more than a thousand new troops and orders every day, either a shortage of people or a shortage of horses. It is common for a battalion to reduce the number of troops when ordering two or three hundred soldiers, and even the last general cannot find it. He is not that the last general is incompetent, but he does not know how to deal with it. He also allows the Grand Tutor to decide a rule." Zhou Nan was obviously angry in his heart and endured it for a long time.
