Hu Songyue and others negotiated conditions in front of Shen Xi and threatened them. They didn't have much respect for Chen Xi at all. But now they are at Juyongguan, which is the most important defense in the capital. When they meet Li Pin, the commander of Longqing Guard, Li Pin, Li Pin's respect for Chen Xi is beyond remarkable, which makes Hu Songyue, Liu Xu and Zhu Lie stunned.

They could only think that Li Pin was a flattering villain who was ignorant of courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame, and only knew how to curry favor with civil officials, and he felt a little more contempt for Li Pin.

Chen Xi was unmoved when facing the invitation to the banquet: "Now the Beiyi army is at the city, and the people around the pass are in dire straits, so let's get the banquet... Please bring all the battle reports of the prefectures around Juyongguan. I will check it overnight!"

Li Pin was amazed: "Your Highness is loyal to the country and forgets to eat and sleep. You are the strongest minister of the Ming Dynasty. You are so impressed by me. You will go back and send the information of the prefectures around Juyongguan in the past few months to you... Please wait!"

Chen Xi didn't talk too much nonsense, just waved his hand, and Li Pin took a tactful look.

Seeing Li Pin withdrawing from the central army tent, Hu Songyue asked: "Sir, I said before that the northern invaders were invading Juyongguan, but now it seems that Juyongguan is as solid as a god... Why don't you go to the garrison office to attend a banquet? While establishing a good relationship with the local garrison, you can also understand the situation inside and outside Juyongguan, which will also be of great help to defend Juyongguan in the future."

Chen Xi looked at Hu Songyue and said, "Don't forget Hu Qianhu, the purpose of our visit is not to assist in the defense of Juyongguan, but to go to Yulin Weicheng, the Yansui Town resident. The situation inside and outside Yongguan can only be used as a reference. Moreover, although accepting banquets during the march is not prohibited by the court, as a minister, you must always have a basic awareness."

"If you really want to have a banquet, you might as well go to the garrison office on your own. I believe General Li will treat you very well... I also have to handle official duties, please do your own thing!"

In the past, in the impression of these generals, although the commander of the army had to maintain his majesty, he would try every means to buy the people under his command, let the officers and soldiers serve him and make achievements.

But Chen Xi did not play according to the rules at all, and Hu Songyue couldn't help but wonder: "This young man is arrogant. We will serve him and fight the Tatars to the death. Not only did he shook his face at us, but he also ridiculed him repeatedly. How could he have the destiny of a general?"

"This kind of inhumane boy thinks it's great to win the top scorer. I'm afraid that no one of the generals in the world will take it in his eyes. If General Li knew his nature, he would definitely be disappointed and avoid it!"

Chen Xi issued an order to expel guests. Hu Songyue and others angrily paid the bill from the Central Army. They were about to return to their tent to summon the officers below for a meeting. When they saw Li Pindo stepping back and forth outside the Central Army tent.

Li Pin's expression was a little confused. Those who didn't know thought that he had committed a crime and needed Chen Xi to help resolve it, so he was so respectful to Chen Xi.

"General Li, you are..."

When Hu Songyue and others saw Li Pin, they had to go forward to salute. After all, the highest military commander in Juyongguan was the highest military commander in front of them. Moreover, the Longqing Guard had already belonged to the border military system. It was difficult for the commander of the guard to be inherited for two generations, because this place was a critical pass, and the court attached great importance to it.

Li Pin stopped at all, asked politely, "Mr. Shen... is ready to stay up late?"

Hu Songyue and others looked at each other. If Li Pin showed off his power in front of them, they would think that Li Pin was a bully who was afraid of the strong and would not make trouble for himself.

But now seeing that the general officer is still so polite, several Beijing camp officials thought that Li Pin was timid and cowardly, or had caused trouble, and urgently needed the help of the senior officials in the court to resolve it, so they came to Chen Xi.

When one side is weak, the other side is naturally motivated. Liu Xu, the general manager, smiled and said, "General Li, don't have to wait. This Lord Shen has a strange temper. He stays up until midnight every day during the march, and does everything himself. Even if he sends hot tea in, he may be scolded. He really doesn't have oil and salt in it!"

Liu Xu said this because he wanted Li Pin to "retreat the problem" and not to do useless work anymore.

The generals of the Beijing camp complained the most about the head coach Chen Xi, because Chen Xi did not do what they meant. These Beijing camp generals have always been the biggest. In the past, Song Shu was just a deputy family, and he sang opposite Chen Xi, who was born in Hanlin. It was because these people were always at the hands of the emperor and were often exaggerated by the great affairs of the court. They all had the power and nobles behind them as their backers, and thought they could be lawless.

When Li Pin heard this, he sighed: "No wonder!"

Hu Songyue, Liu Xu and others looked at each other, and a question arose in their hearts: No wonder?

Li Pin had no intention of explaining, so he raised his hand: "Everyone, I won't disturb everyone's atmosphere. I have prepared hot water for you in the acropolis so I can take a shower and change my clothes. Please go back and rest. If you have any needs, just mention it to the messenger, my Longqingwei will naturally try to satisfy it."

Hu Songyue and other generals smiled, and they all thought that Li Pin was so easy to talk to because they all came from the Beijing camp.

Hu Songyue was arrogant and clasped his fists: "General Li is polite, I will go back to rest now!"

Hu Songyue, Liu Xu, Zhu Lie and others walked away. When they turned around, they found that Li Pin was still wandering in front of the central army's tent, which made them very puzzled.

Hu Songyue said, "I have told General Li that this Lord Shen is the master who is not in trouble. Why is he obsessed with it and insisted on currying favors? Could it be that Zeng Sheng was in a war at the pass and someone came to ask for reinforcements. As a result, General Li did not send troops, resulting in defeat. He was afraid that he would be held accountable by the court, so he wanted Lord Shen to help make a comeback?"

Liu Xu sneered: "What if he doesn't matter? Now that he has arrived in Guancheng, don't want us to leave again... Everyone just need to rest in Guancheng. Lord Shen will not leave if he doesn't give him a reward. Even if the imperial order comes, it will still be useless!"

...

...

Several of the bosses took Yangyang back to the camp to rest. Chen Xi was calm and took out the map albums of Xuanfu, Baoanzhou, Yanqingzhou and other prefectures obtained from the Ministry of War, spread them on the table, and then took out the dry food they carried with them, preparing to eat while looking at the map, waiting for the Longqingwei to report the surrounding wars around Juyongguan provided by the Longqingwei.

Just as Shen Xi was looking at her desk, she suddenly felt something was wrong in the tent. She raised her head and saw Li Pin standing at the curtain, holding a large wooden support in her hand, with a teapot, tea cup and steaming food on it.

If someone else was coming to Chen Xi, the personal guards would definitely come in advance to spread the news. However, as the commander of the Longqing Guard with the title of general, Li Pin, as a local snake in Juyongguan, did not dare to commit crimes and allowed them to go in and out.

"What is General Li doing?" Chen Xi asked in surprise, with a little vigilance in his expression... After all, he came uninvited and appeared so quietly.

Li Pin said ashamedly: "The adults refused to attend the banquet for official duties. Finally, I will prepare tea and simple meals for you. Please don't dislike me!"

Chen Xi frowned slightly, and showed his kindness to be either a traitor or a thief for nothing. He didn't think Li Pin had any reason to be so complimenting to him.

"I was ordered to go to the three sides to wait for an opportunity to recover Yulin Cangcheng. General Li was stationed at the pass and protected the gates of the capital. He was also slack. Why did General Li do it by himself in order to send tea and meals?" Chen Xi continued to ask in confusion.

"Sir, you are now governor Yansui, and the three sides are waiting for you to help. Since the general cannot lead his troops to go with you, he can only do his best in the rear. Sir, you can use it before the food has cooled down. The general will send you the border war report later." Li Pin said with a smile.

Chen Xi thought something and made a "please" gesture: "General Li has something to say, there is no need to do this..."

Li Pin hurriedly said, "Sir, I really have nothing important to do. I only have some immature ideas to discuss with you."

Chen Xi thought about it. Li Pin was different from his own responsibilities. It was really not necessary to say that Li Pin deliberately came to curry favor with him.

The border army system is different from the local garrison stations. These border generals are arrogant. After all, there are many opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the border. After a war, even if Juyongguan is not invaded by the Tatars, they will write Li Pin's note when recording the contributions.

Li Pin was not worried about not having any chance of promotion, nor was it necessary to curry favor with the powerful and powerful in the court. What's more, strictly speaking, Chen Xi was not a powerful and powerful, at most a newcomer.

Since he couldn't figure out what Li Pin wanted, Chen Xi no longer had any worries and picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started to move them. But someone next to him looked at Chen Xi, who couldn't even eat this meal.

"Are General Li together?" Chen Xi asked.

"No...no, please have a meal, and I will wait outside first!"

Li Pin was respectful and was about to go out, Chenxi Road, "The wind and cold outside are heavy. Since General Li has something to do, please stay in the big tent and talk, but please don't mind the official talking while having dinner!"

Li Pin quickly said, "I dare not", but a hint of honor surged on his face.

The free-law chair brought by Chen Xi's army had already been put away. There was only a small stool next to it. Li Pin sat on it and looked very happy with a smile. He could "give a seat" to the central army tent of the new governor of Yansui, Lord Shen. He sat there, dancing with his eyebrows, which made Chen Xi really unable to figure out what the Juyongguan guard was thinking.

Seeing that Chen Xi was eating very deliciously, Li Pin smiled and said, "Sir, in the Battle of Yuxi in the Gengshen year, you personally led hundreds of heroes to bring ox carts to bombard the Tatars. I was deeply impressed by the last time I heard about it."

"oh."

Chen Xi responded. He didn't know if Li Pin really admired or was saying compliments, "At that time, Governor Liu was in danger and did not think too much in a hurry... But I think that if General Li was in such an environment, he would have made the same choice as me!"

"My joking is so good. How can I compare with you? I have never heard of ox carts and cannons before. Now, the northwest borders have imitated the majestic posture of ox carts and made many 'full cars'. But after the drill, it is not as good as the adults' ox cart array. You said... There are so many border passes in the northwest, which one is not so impressed by ox carts?" Li Channel.

After eating dry food for a long time, the food that was so unpalatable was extremely delicious. Chen Xi finished eating it, burped comfortably, touched his stomach, picked up the teapot next to him and poured a cup of tea. After drinking it, he felt refreshed and said:
Chapter completed!
