Although several brigade commanders were not at odds with each other, thinking of this person's young age and big shelf, they put aside a few old military brigades who had been mixed up for decades, but now that Ma Youlai has brought it up, several people are not easy to refute the face of their colleagues, and they reluctantly rode to the school yard together.

A group of people dismounted at the door to complete the inspection, there has been a guard quickly went to report, as soon as they entered the door, only to see a sight of the edge of the field is estimated to have tens of thousands of troops are undergoing monotonous training, only so it is monotonous, because all the troops as a whole stand in a huge training ground, just like a spear straight into there, each soldier is two heels close together, the toes of the two feet are separated outward to form a figure of eight, the legs are straight, the lower abdomen is slightly retracted, the chest is naturally straight, the arms are drooping and naturally straight, The head and neck are straight, the mouth is closed, the jaw is slightly closed, and the eyes are looking straight forward.

And the battalion is obviously different from the usual drills, is that all the troops are lined up too neatly, with the sentry as a unit, a sentry of 100 people lined up in a horizontal ten, vertical and ten, whether it is a horizontal or oblique view, from that direction is a straight line, standing in front, you can only see the first person in the column, it seems that there is no one standing behind it, standing next to it, you can only see the first person at the head of the team, you can't see the faces of the rest of the team at all, and even everyone's slightly retracted chin is also a straight line, It's kind of amazing, how does that work?

And looking at it, it is estimated that more than 100 troops of the three brigades in the entire field are also lined up neatly.

Although several brigade commanders had doubts about how useful this kind of training could be, every person in the more than 100 square formations was as immobile as a rock that had not changed for a thousand years, and it was difficult to see a single person making a small movement.

Seeing this situation, several people couldn't help but temporarily put away their resentment towards Liu Fan, and thought: "Maybe this kid who got up suddenly in the army really has two times, wait a while to see him and see how he explains what he has done in the past two days, and then take the opportunity to act, so as not to look like he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but in the end he refuted his face." ”

The group slowly admired this grand training phalanx while walking, only to see a young lieutenant in front of him quickly greet him, and when he got closer, he bowed to everyone and saluted, "Generals, forgive me for being late, Captain Liu is discussing training matters with several generals in front, please come to the conference hall to sit down for a while, and my general will arrive soon." ”

After speaking, he walked quickly to the front of Ma Youlai and saluted, "Ma Qiang, a former soldier of the Jincheng Army and Chengnanzhuang of Didao County, has seen the marshal of the Ma brigade. ”

Ma Youlai patted Ma Qiang's shoulder cordially and said, "I know you kid, the recruits who just came from my hometown last year are right, I heard Fanzi say that the few guards selected at that time plus the guards who were added after Fanzi was promoted to the deputy brigade, and now there are no more left?" ”

"Yes, a small half of Ganzhou was killed when he defended the city, and later in the battle to annihilate the former army of Nu and Ge Dan in Ganzhou City, except for me and Hai Xiancun, all the rest were killed."

"Count your two fates, alas, it's a pity for those young men who died." Shaking his head, he said, "Look at the silver nail on your belt has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant of Xuanjie?" ”

Ma Qiang couldn't help touching the silver buckle on his belt, and said with a smile, "I was promoted with Xiao Hai last month, Xiao Hai was just appointed as the captain of the Geng Brigade Battalion by Brother Fan Zi the day before yesterday, I don't want to leave Brother Fan Zi, stay and lead the eighty-person personal soldier outpost." ”

At this time, Brigade Marshal Xie Hao, the eldest of the several brigade commanders, interjected: "Captain Pony, I want to ask you something, I heard that only the Shenwu Army A Brigade was determined to train in advance, why did you see that there were no less than three brigade soldiers in this formation today?" ”

"It is three brigades, in addition to the A Brigade of the Shenwu Army, Captain Liu also brought the newly formed Shence Army Geng Brigade to train together, and in addition, General Wang Kai, Sima Duwei of the Shenhu Army, also brought a brigade to train together."

"Oh......," Xie Hao replied in deep thought.

Not long after the group sat down in the conference hall, they saw Liu Fan coming in from outside the door quickly, clasped his fists and saluted everyone, "Let you wait for a long time, Wang Kai stubbornly pestered me to tell me how many tricks there are in this training, and I finally got out of the ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wang Kai and Li Min coming slowly from the door, Wang Kai smiled evilly at Liu Fan, "Hey, Liu Fan, why are you this person, you dare to bury me not long after we separated?" ”

"Sin, sin, I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door with my front foot, you followed with your back foot." Liu Fan said casually.

When several brigade commanders saw Wang Kai and Li Min, they stood up together and saluted the two, "I've seen two captains!" ”

Wang Kai and Li Min returned the salute to the brigade commanders, and said hello to Ma Youlai alone. Before everyone could sit down, Wang Kai had already opened his throat and shouted: "Xie Dabeard, don't stay in your barracks, what is the thing to find here, delay our military training!" ”

Xie Hao heard Wang Kai's shouting, and said quietly, "It's just that there is something important in the army, so I came to ask Captain Liu for instructions." ”

Li Min glanced at everyone's expressions, glanced at Wang Kai and said, "It seems that the Shence Army wants to discuss matters in the army, let's go out for a walk." ”

Liu Fan immediately said: "Brother Wang, Xiaomin, since you have come in, how can you go out immediately, I know that General Xie is not going to say anything about a confidential matter, sit down and listen to it together, anyway, the brigade commanders are in charge of the training outside, and you two are idle now." ”

Hearing Liu Fan's words, Li Min and Wang Kai were also happy to see what kind of score the newly appointed Sima Duwei was putting up, so they each sat down on the side of the door.

Liu Fan sorted out the stack of account books and documents on the bookcase, and waited for the guards to offer tea and soup before he slowly spoke: "That brigade marshal said first?" ”

Except for Ma Youlai, everyone else couldn't help but look at Xie Hao, who was sitting in the center.

Liu Fan knew in his heart that he had guessed correctly, this surname Xie was the core of this small group, and if he didn't subdue this person, he wouldn't have to stay in this Shence army any longer.

Sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, Xie Hao looked at the eyes of several people, and immediately kicked the ball to Ma Youlai and said: "We said it before, let's talk about General Ma!" ”

Ma Youlai heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "Damn, what I said is as if we have discussed together to deal with mortals, these words kill two birds with one stone, not only can I easily free myself, but also successfully provoke the relationship between me and mortals, alas, I shouldn't come with them today, and let people be used as gunmen as soon as I come." ”

But at this time, there was no way to justify, so I had to bite the bullet and say: "Fanzi, that's the case, we haven't seen you in the past two days, because we are anxious about the big matter of suppressing bandits, so we came here this morning to ask you when you will start to deploy the bandits." ”

Liu Fan didn't answer immediately, picked up the teapot and went over to add tea soup to Li Min, Wang Kai, Ma Youlai and others in turn, and only when he walked in front of Xie Hao and picked up the cup did he ask casually, "Xie Lvshuai, how many of you came here today, mainly for this?" ”

At this time, Xie Hao couldn't divert his gaze anymore, and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Duwei, the main reason is that a few of us are also in a hurry to exterminate Qiu Mazi, so we have to come here, and please Liu Duwei don't blame us for being reckless." ”

"Oh......" Liu Fan replied noncommittally.

Waiting to sit on the stool, he continued, "I think Brother Ma has just been transferred here from Suzhou, and he shouldn't know Qiu Mazi very well near Changsong County. But I remember that Brigade Shuai Xie's C Brigade was stationed near Liangzhou at all times except for this year's reinforcements in Ganzhou, so I must know Qiu Mazi's situation well, can I tell you about Qiu Mazi and his affairs in detail! ”

"This ...... I don't know much about this, is it very important, can't you just lead the troops to go over and surround them to fight. ”

Xie Hao replied hesitantly, although he had been serving as the security of the garrison capital and nearby areas in the periphery of Liangzhou in recent years, to put it bluntly, he had devoted most of his mind to improving the personnel relations with his superiors and colleagues, but he had never devoted himself to studying what kind of person Qiu Mazi, the biggest bandit leader in the northwest region for many years, was, and what kind of situation his troops were.
