"Chu Mo, Baolin, it's been two days since we came to the Xuanjia Army, how do you two feel~?"

After making a ten-day challenge appointment with Qiu Xinggong, Li Zexuan came to the training area of the Wuzi Camp and said goodbye to Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin, who had just finished running ten miles of long-distance running.

Now according to the new training code training in addition to the E-shaped battalion, although there are also A-shaped battalions and T-shaped battalions, but from a personal emotional point of view, Li Zexuan is still relatively close to the E-shaped battalion, on the one hand, the soldiers of the E-shaped battalion are all recruits, and he is also a "recruit", between this recruit and the "recruit", the relationship will naturally be closer, secondly, there are many acquaintances in the E-shaped battalion, Sun Zhiping will not talk about it, and there are Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin, which makes Li Zexuan can't help but be more "partial" to the E-shaped battalion!

"How does it feel? Xiao Xuan, this ...... This Xuanjia army feels that it can't stay, the first day was fine, but yesterday I was almost exhausted, I got up in the morning and ran ten miles with a negative armor, and after running to combat training, if I was not careful, I would be beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, this is not the end, there are queues, cavalry charging formations, riding and archery training, after eating at night, I have to run ten miles, I am so old, and I have never been so tired! No, no! This Xuanjia Army really can't stay! ”

Cheng Chumo was lying on his back on the grass at the moment, his eyes were starry, and he hadn't been running for ten miles for a long time, when he heard Li Zexuan's question, he couldn't help but complain.

It's just that the sound of complaining is so weak!

It is said that yesterday was the first day of the implementation of the new training drill in the Wuzi Battalion, and almost everyone was tortured half to death, and more than a dozen of them failed to train and were punished for not eating at noon! After experiencing the pain of not eating at noon, Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin were extremely hardworking, especially when they ran for ten miles, their legs were about to break, and they narrowly passed.

But after a whole day of training, the two brothers were almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and last night under Li Zexuan's punches and kicks, they were willing to go to the well to scrub it briefly, otherwise Li Zexuan's camp is now estimated to be full of sweat and foot odor.

At this moment, Cheng Chumo really regretted it, although life in the academy was a little boring, and there was more control from gentlemen, but it was easier to win, and it was more comfortable than in the Xuanjia Army anyway! This is not a human life!

Cheng Chumo thought depressedly in his heart.

"Pauling, what about you?"

Hearing Cheng Chumo's words full of regret, Li Zexuan smiled slightly, didn't pay attention to this guy, he looked at Yu Chi Baolin, who was lying on the other side gasping for breath, and asked.

"Uh, mountain...... Mountain chief, if I don't leave, I will listen to you! It's just that I feel so tired! The training of the Xuanjia Army is much more tiring than the military training in the academy! ”

Yu Chi Baolin turned his head, glanced at Li Zexuan, and then said on his back.

"Huh! Of course, the training of the Xuanjia Army is more tiring than the military training of the academy! The Xuanjia Army trains soldiers who want to go into battle to kill the enemy, and the military training of the academy is just to let the students have a good body to study and study! ”

Hearing this, Li Zexuan smiled and said to the two brothers: "Since you all feel that yesterday was more tired than the day before yesterday, then it is a preliminary explanation that the new training drill has worked, and only when you are tired, you will improve!" Everyone's potential is actually unlimited, and only by forcing it little by little can you force out the potential in your body! I'll tell you the good news, the horizontal bar you need to do pull-ups has been sent by the workshop, and you will add a training program to your training today! ”

"What? Want to add a training program? ”

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo didn't know where the strength came from for a while, so he stood up from the grass with a carp straight and glared at Li Zexuan.

"Hmmm! That's right! This was originally planned, but I didn't tell you about the training equipment yesterday! ”

Li Zexuan nodded, and said lightly.

"Ah~! Can't live! This Xuanjia Army can't stay, I want to go back to the academy! ”

Cheng Chumo's face suddenly fell, and he couldn't help but wail loudly.

Li Zexuan patted the shoulder of this commodity and said, "You kid is thinking too simply, is this Xuanjia Army a place where you can come and leave whenever you want?" If you leave the barracks now, you will be a deserter, and when the time comes, don't say that I don't treat you as a brother, Uncle Cheng will probably cut off the father-son relationship with you! ”

There is a bit of threat and a bit of schadenfreude in these words.

Cheng Chumo's face was bitter, he almost didn't cry, he pulled Li Zexuan and said, "Xiao Xuan, you can't be like this!" We're brothers, you've got to help me figure it out! ”

Looking at this kid's bitter gourd face, Li Zexuan said in his heart, it seems that yesterday's training left a deep "impression" on Cheng Chumo!

"Chu Mo, I am a good man, who doesn't have a dream of riding on the battlefield with a horizontal sword? But before we go to battle, we have to train to ensure that we can defeat more enemies, and the harder we train, the better our chances of victory on the battlefield, so that no matter how powerful the enemy we encounter in the future, we can fight without fear!

If you become a deserter today, you will lose your chance to become a strong man! Uncle Cheng is a hero, are you willing to live in the shadow of his old man for the rest of your life, and be a second ancestor who eats all day long and waits for death? ”

I don't know if Cheng Chumo's words of "I want to go back to the academy" are sincere, or if they are a joke, anyway, Li Zexuan listened to it as the former! In order to dispel Cheng Chumo's thoughts, Li Zexuan patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder, his face was serious, and he said earnestly.

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo immediately put away his hippie smile, with a cloudy look on his face, obviously Li Zexuan's words touched a certain nerve in his brain. Don't look at his usual nerves, big grin, and seemingly don't care about anything, but no matter how strong anyone looks on the outside, there will definitely be a weakness in his heart, and Cheng Chumo is no exception!

As the son of the founding general Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Chumo is lucky, but also unlucky, fortunately, with the protection of Cheng Yanjin, he has been able to worry about food and clothing since he was a child, and he is not bullied; Unfortunately, Cheng Biting Jin's light is too dazzling, so that in the eyes of outsiders, he Cheng Chumo is useless except for the identity of "Cheng Biting Jin's son"!

He thought about changing the status quo, but he couldn't find a way, so he spent all these years in a daze. The appearance of Li Zexuan last year added a lot of fun and uncertainty to his life, and today's words of Li Zexuan reminded him of the "struggle" in the past!

"Xiao Xuan, do you think I have a chance to surpass my father?"

Cheng Chu was silent for a while, and after coming back to his senses, he looked at Li Zexuan fixedly, and asked in a low voice.

Li Zexuan smiled knowingly, punched Cheng Chumo's chest vigorously, and said, "Hey! When did you kid become so unconfident? If you want to surpass Uncle Cheng alone, of course it is impossible! But who made you my Li Zexuan's brother? As long as I am here, and you are willing to improve, your future achievements will definitely not be lower than Uncle Cheng! ”

"Hey, hey! Xiao Xuan, you're right! We are brothers, brothers for life! Even if I can't do it, you can definitely help me do it! ”

Cheng Chumo suddenly smirked, reverting to his original "cynical and naïve" appearance, the knot that had been buried in his heart for many years was finally untied today, he affectionately stopped Li Zexuan's big shoulders and laughed heartily.

Some things are hard to do alone, but it's different when someone helps!

"Go, go, go! Hurry up and get training! Captain Sun began to call people to assemble! ”

Li Zexuan pushed this thing away, he didn't have the habit of being intimate with men, and besides, this guy had just finished a long run, and he was covered in a stove, not to mention, and he was covered in stinky sweat.

"Mountain Chief, I also have to train hard, and I have to surpass my father!"

Yu Chi Baolin stood up from the grass at this time and said to Li Zexuan.

The conversation between Li Zexuan and Cheng Chumo just now touched him deeply, don't look at his honest appearance on weekdays, but Li Zexuan's words still touched him very much, and he decided to surpass his father!

"Haha! Yes! Then the three of us brothers will establish a good career in the army! ”

Li Zexuan patted Wei Chi Baolin's shoulder and laughed with relief.

“…… That's the way it is! The chief of the mountain hopes that this notice of raising military funds can be understood with emotion, moved by reason, and declared with righteousness, so that as many businessmen as possible can participate in this fundraising conference, only in this way can enough military funds be raised for the imperial court in a short time! Miss Li Yu, do you think there is a difficulty? ”

In the new workshop of Qiqu Pavilion, in a side hall of the editorial office of "Datang Daily", Li Ke and Li Yu sat opposite each other, and he told Li Yu what Li Zexuan had told Li Yu last night, and at the end, he also added some of his own understanding and ideas.

About Li Yu, Li Ke had seen it before this (he saw it when Li Yu went to the academy to find Meng Wenhao), of course, he had heard more about Li Yu's deeds, at a young age and as a woman, he became a "gold medal reporter" given by the Son of Heaven, and he could go directly to heaven to listen; took risks alone, exposed the darkness of officialdom in several counties around Chang'an, and several county orders and county officials were pulled off by her.

This pile and one thing after another is not at all like what the "weak woman" in front of her can do!

Although he had heard and seen Li Yu before, today it was the first time he was alone with Li Yu, and what made him strange was that in the face of this unfamiliar girl, he actually had a sense of intimacy in his heart!

Yes, it's kind!

"Your Highness, rest assured, just a notice, there is no difficulty for Li Yu!"

After a moment of silence, Li Yu nodded, staying in the editorial department of "Datang Daily" for so long, and it was also Li Zexuan's "true biography", news, notices and other manuscripts were completely easy for her, but compared to the notice itself, she was more concerned about the content of this notice, I saw her frowning, hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Ke, and asked:

"It's just that Li Yu doesn't know something, but I don't know if I should talk about it?"

In the face of Li Zexuan, Meng Wenhao, Li Tai and others, Li Yu can be innocent and "open-mouthed", and say whatever she wants, but the person in front of her is Li Ke, the king of Shu, and she is not familiar with it, which makes her feel a little restrained.

Li Ke smiled and said: "Miss Li Yu, please speak, Xiao Wang must know everything!" ”

Li Yu asked softly, "Your Highness, dare to ask if the imperial court is really in such difficulty now?" Do merchants need to raise military funds to compete with the Turks? If Li Yu remembers correctly, last year the imperial court sent a fleet south to exchange grain, but Taicang and Hanjiacang were stuffed, this is a war, there should be no shortage of food, right? ”

Li Yu was "abandoned" by her biological father and mother since she was a child, and was raised by her adoptive father and adoptive mother, but after the death of her adoptive parents, she came all the way from Yuezhou to Chang'an, and saw all kinds of people's livelihood and suffering. But she also knew in her heart that the Turkic War was a matter of life and death for the Tang Dynasty, and it was impossible to fight it!

It's just that she never expected that the court, which was incomparably powerful in her eyes, would now raise military funds through private businessmen!

Li Ke pondered for a moment, and replied: "Last year, the imperial court did store a lot of grain, but as far as this king knows, in June this year, the big locusts in Guanzhong, although the mountain chief took the Tianji brigade to exterminate the locusts everywhere, but after all, the time is limited, and there are more than 50 counties that need disaster relief in the end.

On the one hand, the Turks are strong, Jieli has millions of people who control the strings, if the Tang Dynasty wants to win the war, it can only do its best to fight with it, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses need not only food, but also armor and horses, which will be an astronomical amount;

On the other hand, the Turkic royal court is located in the hinterland of the steppe, and this time the Tang Dynasty takes the initiative to attack, the army's supply line will be very long and far, the supply of money and food will be very difficult, and the loss on the road will be extremely large! As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, rather than waiting for the army to run out of food and grass and then find a way, the imperial court should make adequate preparations before the army goes out! That's why the mountain chief proposed to my father the emperor to let the merchants raise military funds! ”

Considering that Li Yu should not be very familiar with military affairs and military and political affairs, Li Ke spoke more carefully.

After hearing this, Li Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "The little woman understands!" Thank you, Your Highness, for your doubts! Your Highness rest assured, Li Yu will do his best to handle this matter! ”

"Hmmm! In this case, Xiao Wang is relieved! ”

Li Ke smiled, and then he saw that the hour was not early, so he got up and said, "Now that the matter has been negotiated, Xiao Wang will not bother the girl, and say goodbye!" ”

"Your Highness, please stay!"

Li Yu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly got up and said.
