On the second day, Yang Yingqi went to see Yan Hu again and said that he knew about it. Wan Yanhu said: "Let Liu Qi lead the troops?" Will he lead troops? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I don't know." We'll find out when the time comes. ”

Wan Yanhu said: "Okay, anyway, it's just a drill, and it should be a celebration before the second brother gets married." He also sent someone to make a banner with the word "Liu" and went to Tanggu to cheer for Liu Qi.

In Wan Yanhu's heart, although Liu Qi's martial arts are strong, he is not the opponent of a battle-hardened person like Xu Wen in any case, and because Liu Qi is a guest, he is afraid that Liu Qi will lose too ugly. But when the matter reached Xu Wen's ears, all the generals blamed Yan Hu for being eccentric, and they all secretly gritted their teeth and swore that they had to annihilate Liu Zijun and capture the commander alive.

Liu Qi didn't know so many things, and after getting the fake Jieyue from Yang Yingqi, he moved directly to the military camp outside the city, ate and lived with the soldiers of the Tanggu New Army, and asked Shi Kang about the Han army.

When he was still in Bianliang, he heard that the Han army could fight, and then listened carefully to Shi Kang's description of the military regulations, training and deployment rules of the Han Department. ”

He knew that although this was a chess-like military exercise, it still required the whole army to have the same desire to win, so he not only ate and lived with the soldiers and trained together, but also took turns to go to various camps to watch and chat. The new army in Tanggu are all Yan Zhao refugees newly recruited by the Han Department half a year ago, and some are even deserters from the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Qi only understood these soldiers with a winning mentality at first, but with the deepening of his understanding, he slowly resonated with these soldiers, and said in his heart: "The court misled the country and the people, how did I know that the people of Lianghe had suffered so much when I was in Bianliang!" Liu Qi and these people have something to say, and slowly not only the generals will return to him, but in turn, Liu Qi will also be influenced by these generals, and his sense of identity with the Han Department will deepen day by day.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it will be the day of the military exercise. The location of this military exercise is more than 20 miles northwest of Jinmen, on the left mountain and on the right sea, each has a village, and there is a small river in the middle, separating the two villages, and on both sides of the small river is a large flat land. For those who participated in the military exercise, Black was the Tanggu New Army, which was led by Liu Qi, and he grabbed lots and took them to the cottage; White is a new army in the upper twelve villages, under the command of Xu Wen, and takes the lot to Haizhai. On each side there were 6,000 men and horses: 2,500 cavalry, 2,000 infantry, 1,000 crossbowmen, and 500 engineers. The knives are wrapped in cloth, the arrows are removed, the knives and arrows are stained with lime, and those who are in the middle of the brain, chest and abdomen are killed, and the middle limbs are injured in the non-vital places. The exercise lasted for a total of seven days.

The exercise was opened by Wan Yanhu himself, and Yang Kaiyuan and Yang Yingqi both attended and watched. In addition, there were 10,000 Han infantry and 3,000 sappers guarding the side in case of accidents. There are also medical teams ready to treat the wounded, monks chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, and students from the Liaokou Military Academy recording various data.

After the two sides had set up positions on the plains, they took up the attack by the river. This is the first time that the Han Ministry has conducted a military exercise, and some situations have not been taken into account, such as what to do with those "corpses" on the battlefield. Originally, if it was really on the battlefield, it would have been enough to see the corpse and step on it directly, where could you take care of so much? But this is an exercise after all, and those lying on the ground are all living comrades-in-arms, where can they step on it? Therefore, there was chaos in the first frontal engagement on the plain, some "corpses" had already fallen down and pretended to be dead, and suddenly saw the horses rushing and jumping up and running away, and Wan Yanhu and others in the stands and the surrounding soldiers saw everything.

After all, Xu Wen had been a general in the Han Dynasty for a long time, and he had strong control over the army, so he was the first to react in the chaos, organizing infantry to leave the center of the chaos and outflank him from both wings. Liu Qi has been mixing with his father on the battlefield since he was a child, and although he is young, he is by no means a "new ding" on the battlefield. However, after all, he had only been in contact with the Han army for less than ten days, and although his own response to the battlefield was not slow, his control over this army was not as good as that of Xu Wen after all, so he fell ahead and had to turn to a full-scale defense, but Black had already "suffered more than a thousand casualties" in this chaos. Since Xu Wen focused his attack on Liu Qi's cavalry from the beginning, most of the more than 1,000 people were cavalry.

Yang Kai saw it and smiled slightly: "The outcome has been decided." Xu Wen won. ”

Wan Yanhu said: "It's only been a long time!" Liu Qi still has more than 4,000 soldiers and horses on hand, so he may not lose. ”

Yang Kaiyuan said: "The training, equipment, and supplies of these two troops are almost the same, and besides, this is an exercise after all, it is difficult to have a desperate situation like on the battlefield, and the morale of both sides will not fluctuate, so it is difficult to win more with less." The difference in strength between the two sides is almost 1,000, and it is difficult for the situation to change if the battle continues. ”

As he spoke, Liu Qi had already switched to all-out defense and retreated into the mountains. Yang Kaiyuan observed with a clairvoyant mirror on the stage, and said to Yang Yingqi: "This Liu Qi is very good!" This soldier retreated very well. ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "That's because our Han Department is well trained. ”

Yang Kaiyuan said: "It will take a while to train well, but the master's grasp of the heat and proportion when he gives the order can still be seen from the advance and retreat of the soldiers and horses. Well, if he defends the mountain, this battle will not be lost too quickly. ”

Soon Liu Qi's sappers started to build fortifications at the main entrance and exit of the mountains with limited materials. This mountainous area is not a dangerous one, and the exit is not all the way. Xu Wen sent troops to attack from other roads several times, but several times Liu Qi saw through the movement and adjusted the army to defend in advance, Xu Wen couldn't help him when he hit the sunset, but lost more than 100 soldiers, so he had to go back to the seaside village to eat and rest - both sides had ten days' worth of military rations, which were placed in their respective stockades, and the two armies arranged their own food and lodging when they were tired and hungry from the battle, and the headquarters of the military exercise did not arrange another cook.

Wan Yanhu said to Yang Yingqi: "With such an arrangement, could it be possible to carry out a night attack?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Yes." ”

Wan Yanhu said: "Then we still have to watch here all night?" ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "This kind of military exercise also depends on the mental outlook of the soldiers, how the law of advance and retreat, how the weapons and horses are, and how the martial arts and physical strength are. Sister-in-law, let's go back first, and listen to the results in seven days. ”

Back in Jinmen, Chen Zhenghui asked Yang Yingqi how Liu Qi fought, and Yang Yingqi said: "Fight well, sure enough, he is a disciple of Jiangmen, and he has a clear command and eyes, and it seems that he is no worse than Chong Yansong." ”

On the second day, he didn't go to see it, but asked people to report the "war", but most of his mind was still on business. At this time, the news that the Jin army was heading south again had reached the center of the Han Dynasty, and Yang Yingqi still ordered the armies from all walks of life to stand still and see how Bianliang coped.
