The Sui army marched mightily towards Zhuojun, and it took about a month for the Zuoling Guards led by Yu Wenshu to reach the front line, where they were stationed and waited for the troops behind.

At this moment, Yu Wenshu called Yu Wenming and other cadres to his big tent. However, Yuwen Chengdu is not one of them.

At this time, he said majestically: "Children, now it is officially at the front line. From now on, we are no longer in the relationship of grandchildren. Don't call me grandpa or the head of the family, the relationship between me and you is superior from now on. You must call me a general, as is customary in the army! If anyone is still screaming in the army, or using my grandson's identity to swagger through the market, disobey the orders of his superiors, and bully his colleagues, I will immediately go back to the Eastern Capital! Did you hear me? ”

Yu Wenshu's words were said later, and his voice was even higher.

The ten children of the Yuwen family present were all in awe, and they all clasped their fists and said, "Your subordinates must obey the general's orders!" ”

Yuwen Shu nodded with satisfaction, and then glanced at the group of young disciples and said, "As the future of my Yuwen family, I will definitely not let you start as a small soldier." But I won't give you too much military rank as soon as I come, so that others will not accept it. Now I'm going to arrange your duties......"

"Yu Wencheng!" Yu Wenshu shouted.

"The subordinates are here!" Yu Wencheng hurriedly came out at this time.

"Now I order you to be the leader of the third group of the first team of the Zuoling Guard Scout Regiment, commanding ten scouts, is there a problem?" Yu Wenshu's eyes were like a good word.

"No problem!" Yuwen hurriedly patted his chest and said. Still, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He thought that his grandfather would at least appoint him as a team leader, but he didn't expect that he would only start as a team leader.

The army of the Sui Dynasty implemented the government military system, which farmed at home or military cantonment in peacetime, and gathered together in wartime and reorganized into combat units, with the army as the highest establishment unit.

The first army was 16,000 men, including 8,000 infantry, and 2,000 men were a regiment; 4,000 cavalry, with a thousand people as a regiment; There were also 4,000 heavy soldiers, also in a regiment of 1,000 people.

Then the downward establishment is a team of 100 people, 10 people are a group, and there is a team leader; The team has a principal and deputy team, the 10th cavalry team is a regiment, the 20th infantry team is a regiment, the commander is called the regiment master, the fourth to sixth regiments are a brigade, and the commander is called the brigade commander. Several brigades are an army, the main general is called the general, and the deputy general is called the second general.

The military ranks from low to high are team commander, team leader, regiment leader, brigade commander, partial general, second general, and senior general, with clear hierarchies. In addition, there are a number of civilian officers such as Changshi, Sima, Lushi, Gong, Cang, Bing, Caicao, and Joining the Army.

And the captain is the lowest-ranking officer.

"Yu Wenxuan! Appoint you as the leader of the fifth group of the second team of the Scouts! ”

"Yu Wenjie! Appointed you as the Captain of the Seventh Gang of the Third Team of the Scout Regiment! ”

……

Yu Wenming had already heard it at this time, his grandfather was appointed according to age, and the older the children, the higher the rank, and he was the youngest of the ten children of the Yuwen family who participated in the expedition to Goryeo. So it was put at the bottom of the list.

After waiting for a while, Yu Wenming heard his grandfather read his name: "Yu Wenming is out of the ranks!" ”

"The subordinates are here!" He was busy with the previous part, clenching his fists and compiling.

"I order you to be the commander of the tenth group of the tenth team of the scout group, and the ten of you must obey the orders of the commander in spying on the enemy, and there must be no cowardice or fear! Did you hear me clearly? Yu Wenshu shouted loudly at this time.

Yuwen Shu attaches great importance to intelligence in his army, and he has an elite scout regiment in his Zuoling Guard's army, although the scout group is only a thousand people, but it is all cavalry, and its members are experienced veterans, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.

The commander of the scout regiment is called a partial general, and he is already a middle-level general in the combat establishment. He had two deputies, known as Yitong.

And Yu Wenshu arranged ten children into a team of ten hundreds, which also had a certain amount of selfishness, hoping that after they made meritorious contributions, they could naturally be promoted to team leaders in the team. As the chief general of his army, he does not need to apply for approval to appoint generals below the rank of partial general.

"Hear me clearly!" The ten of them bowed down together and received the command.

But soon, Yu Wenjie couldn't help but ask: "General, then who is the commander of our scout group?" ”

"The Lord?" Yu Wenshu smiled, looked at the door of the big tent and said, "Chengdu, come in!" ”

At this time, the tall Yuwen Chengdu strode into the big tent, bowed to Yuwen Shu and said, "General, the scout group has been assembled!" You're ready to go! ”

"Now you get the idea! The leader of the scout group is Chengdu, I don't think anyone of you should disobey him, right? Yu Wenshu stroked his long beard under his chin at this time, and said with a slight smile.

He knows very well that these grandsons of his are as good as Yu Wenming, they are hard-working, determined, and they are not bad. But like Yu Wencheng, Yu Wenjie, etc., it is not necessarily. Moreover, most of these ten people are very arrogant, and this time these children were allowed to participate in the expedition to Goryeo, mainly to hone them and polish their arrogance.

But if you let your subordinate generals lead them, others will only hold these guys as treasures if they see their own feelings, and maybe they will simply arrange them as their own personal soldiers, and they will not be able to go to the battlefield at all, and they will not be able to play any role in honing.

That's why he arranged for these children to enter the more difficult scout group to temper them.

The general of the scout group is arranged for Yuwen Chengdu. In this way, the disobedient children can be subdued. After all, Yuwen Chengdu is among the juniors in the house, but his prestige is quite high. He has experienced many battles and accumulated certain achievements. Regardless of his own martial arts and combat experience, he is enough to be qualified for the position of the commander of the scout group.

Of course, Yuwenshu dared to let his grandsons be scouts, also because he learned from Yang Guang that his Zuoling Guard was the fifth army, and after the first four armies swept away, the Goryeo army might not be able to see the shadow for a long time. At most, some enemy stragglers will not pose much threat to the scouts.

After Yuwenshu was appointed, Yuwencheng took his ten brothers and walked towards the camp of the scout group. As he walked, he said, "Brothers, in fact, being a good scout is not as difficult as you think. You only need to observe carefully, know the trade-offs, and be dedicated and dedicated! ”

"Let's say, let's say you lead a group of 10 people and when you are reconnoitring in front, you find dozens of enemy soldiers cooking in a stove. You think you can launch a surprise attack to take it down...... But it's a mistake to do so. Since these enemies have not discovered you, it is better not to try unless you can guarantee that you will kill them all and not one of them will slip through the net! ”

"Because in this way, if anyone escapes, your whereabouts will be exposed, and conditions will be created for the enemy to encircle and suppress you. And it is very likely that the enemy will be able to guess that the main forces of our army are nearby. So, it is not the task of the scouts to fight the enemy head-on, the task of the scouts is to find where the main forces of the enemy are? How many troops do they have? How many cavalry and how many infantry were there? What is the combat effectiveness, where is the grain and grass piled up, how many troops are there to defend, can you catch a live mouth to torture the enemy's details, this is what a good scout should do......"

Yuwen Chengdu was explaining some of his basic scout knowledge essentials to his brothers all the way, so that these brothers in the clan would not know anything after they arrived at the scout camp. At that time, they will be ridiculed by their veterans. Even if others don't dare to say it in person because they are children of the Yuwen family, they will be dissatisfied in private. This will cause a lot of trouble for their command and future operations.

"Since we are scouts, we often need to camp alone outside the barracks. And when it comes to camping, you need to find the best place to camp. First of all, you have to find a place where there is a water source, whether it is a river, or a lake, or a mountain spring, or a stream, or something. Then they walked along the water, and they had to disperse their subordinates to probe within a radius of twenty miles to see if there were any enemy troops lying in ambush nearby. After determining the ambush of the invincible army, the place of the camp can be determined. Also, you have to make sure that you have a good view around you, so that you can quickly spot the enemy in case of an attack......"

"In addition to this, the availability of water sources in the vicinity is also an important factor. A person can go three days without food, but he cannot go without water for three days. If you can't find a place with a water source around, you should also find a place where you can dig a well and see water, drinking water is more important than food, don't be careless! ”

"If you are going to camp in the woods, be careful not to alarm the birds in the woods, because the birds that had been quiet suddenly startled will be attacked, and if the enemy is an experienced person, they will immediately know that someone is coming in the woods...... In addition, when lighting a fire for cooking, you should also be very careful, and after using the stove, bury it as soon as possible so that no traces can be left......"

Yu Wenming listened carefully all the way, and asked a word or two from time to time, all of which were on the point.

At first, Yuwen Chengdu thought that his second brother had hit the dead mouse by mistake, and the blind cat had touched the dead mouse, but slowly, he found that Yu Wenming not only asked the point, but also put forward some of his own opinions on this issue.

For example, when building a fence, he proposed that a simple watchtower could be built at the four corners, and that sentinels with strong vision should be on duty. And equipped with an alarm bell, when you find an enemy, you will ring the bell to warn. This will allow the whole army to react as quickly as possible and meet the enemy.

This made Yuwen Chengdu couldn't help but be surprised, because he knew that this kind of knowledge was difficult to know if he had no military experience or had learned the art of war. And as far as he knew, Yu Wenming was practicing martial arts every day, and he didn't have time to read books at all, let alone books on the art of war, and he didn't even have time to read books such as "Analects" and "Book of Songs", which his grandfather had always had high hopes for him.

Yu Wenming saw that Yu Wencheng's face was different, and naturally he could guess his thoughts.

So, he smiled slightly and explained: "Big brother, don't look at me, I don't usually read much, but when I practice martial arts with my master, I often hear him talk about things that should be paid attention to when marching. Although I haven't practiced it myself, I can fully understand it when I listen to you and combine what I actually see with what the teacher said. ”

Yuwen Chengdu suddenly realized that Li Jing had used his soldiers like a god in the name of a god, and he had already passed the victory in the last Tuyuhun Battle and turned around in the Sui army. As Li Jing's disciple, it is normal for his second brother to learn some of his teacher's fur.

And Yu Wencheng and Yu Wenjie glanced at each other, both showing jealousy. They didn't expect that Yu Wenming not only had strong martial arts, but also had a certain foundation in the use of soldiers. This will be their fierce rival in the future in front of their grandfather.
