The competition will end, the original Xiyuan general Gao Shun, because of the reason for the confrontation with the official, was imprisoned, temporarily imprisoned in a barracks in the West Garden, after the official establishment of the West Park Army, will be transferred to prison, after the prison disaster, Gao Shun's career may be broken.

Perhaps, the original intention of the Son of Heaven was not like this, but in the end, this Xiyuan selection became a joke in Chen Mo's opinion, and as the best general of the original Xiyuan Army, Gao Shun's fate was also inexplicably chilling.

"Chen Mo, don't make a mistake with yourself, Shuo Gong has an order to ......" Early the next morning, Chen Mo went to visit Gao Shun with Shilan, but was stopped by the two Xiyuan soldiers who were in charge of guarding the door.

These people were originally candidates for the selection of generals in the West Garden, but unfortunately they have been eliminated, and now they remain in the West Park Army, and they may be able to be a general or team leader in the future.

"Don't be so old-fashioned." Chen Mo carried the food blue, looked around, and then stepped forward and said with a smile: "That Qian Shuo is just a eunuch, and you are all famous queens, are you really willing to listen to his orders?" Besides, although General Gao treats us harshly on weekdays, but yesterday's incident, General Gao did not hesitate to do it with that Qian Shuo for us, and we and others spoke softly, and it was difficult to avenge General Gao, but at least, let him live more comfortably in this West Garden, what do you think? ”

"This ......" one hesitated a little, but the other sighed: "The military order is like a mountain, this is what General Gao taught me to wait." ”

"Don't be like this, always listen to the general, you are destined not to be a general in the future, there will always be some exceptions to this, that Qian Shuo doesn't understand the art of war, but he commands indiscriminately, who knows if you and I will be like General Gao in the future?" Chen Mo patted the shoulders of the two of them and said, "Open it quickly, I'll send some food to General Gao, and I'll leave after sending it, robe, this love should always be given, right?" ”

"Hurry up, then." Hearing this, the soldier hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at the other person: "Go and look around, don't let the eunuchs and minions see it." ”

"Whoa!"

"Thank you." Chen Mo smiled and stuffed two chicken legs for the two: "Eat something, I'll go back when I go." ”

"Hurry up, if you are caught, we will say that you entered without permission, and we will not see it." The soldier waved impatiently.

"Understood." Chen nodded sincerely, and after asking the two of them to help him unlock the door, he walked into the room with Shi Lan in his hand.

In the room, Gao Shun knelt on the straw mat, closed his eyes and meditated, and when he heard the door ringing, he ignored it.

"General Gao!" Chen Mo put Shi Lan on the table, looked at Gao Shun, and called softly.

"Chen Mo? Why are you here? Gao Shun finally opened his eyes and looked at Chen Mo in surprise.

"The competition has ended, and I came to visit." Chen Mo opened the food blue, the roast chicken with two chicken legs missing, plus a few dishes of vegetarian dishes, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile and said: "This election will be over, I will wait for the accommodation to be much better, then Qian Shuo does not know what he means, but this selection of generals is mostly selected from the wealthy families, I am afraid it will be difficult to work." ”

"This is exactly what I am worried about." Gao Shun frowned.

"Oh?" Chen Mo served Gao Shun a bowl of soup and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Although Qian Shuo is incompetent, he is His Majesty's confidant, and the new army is really in the hands of this person on behalf of His Majesty, and now the generals of the new army are resistant to that Qian Shuo, and His Majesty has been planning for a long time, I am afraid it will be difficult to work." Gao Shun sighed.

Chen Mo sighed, shook his head and said, "Then Qian Shuosheng ruined the matter of selecting generals in the West Garden, and the general will not complain?" ”

"Naturally, it is resentful, this matter is related to the safety of the society, how can it be abolished for personal reasons?" Gao Shun frowned.

"Most people don't understand these truths." Chen Mo nodded, this is also what he admires Gao Shun the most, a person who can separate public and private may not be pleasant, but such a person is definitely worthy of admiration.

"You're clever and resourceful, and you're not here to talk to me about these things." Gao Shun ate a piece of chicken, looked at Chen Mo and said suddenly.

"Hmm." Chen Mo nodded: "No matter how ridiculous the selection of generals is, but Mo was lucky to win, but there are many incomprehensible points in the way of governing the army, so I came to consult the general." ”

No matter how disappointed he is with this new army, but since he has come to this point, Chen Mo will not give up easily, so he came to ask Gao Shun, if he can learn more, it will be helpful for him in his future career, this time the training of reserve officers is actually good, if there is no premise of selecting generals, this army is the army that Chen Mo has ever seen, the closest to the army in the dream battlefield.

With a person like Gao Shun, it's best not to think about fooling, because he seems to be old-fashioned, but he is not stupid, and even very smart, honesty is the best way, what can be told to you, Gao Shun will say, but what you can't say, it's useless for you to call him father.

Gao Shun fell silent when he heard this, Chen Mo's request was actually a bit excessive, the ability to take care of the family, why should he teach you without relatives or reason?

"The general can rest assured, Mo doesn't want to learn what the general has learned, he just wants the general to teach Mo a few ways to govern the army, and he can see some results in a short time." Chen Mo explained.

Gao Shun nodded and said: "In fact, there is no secret, the soldiers are single-minded, it is not difficult to do it, you only need to eat and live with the soldiers, but you must be stricter than military law, that is, if you violate military regulations, you must also be punished, strict with yourself, strict with military discipline, self-discipline, self-defeating." ”

"This ......" Chen Mo was stunned, most of the art of war has similar explanations, looked at Gao Shun and said: "It doesn't seem to be difficult." ”

"It's easy to be strict with others, but it's hard to be strict with yourself, many truths in this world are actually known, but there are not many things that can be done." Gao Shun shook his head and said: "You are smart, aware of changes, know how to advance and retreat, and be able to judge the situation, which is a good thing, but everything is always difficult to achieve both, what you want in the army is self-discipline, if you want to be a good general, many things need to be abandoned, but give up these, with the way of the world, it is difficult for you to go far." Gao Shun looked at Chen Mo and said, "As for how to choose, it depends on what you want!" ”

What do I want?

Chen Mo picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup, and shook his head, what he wanted was to get ahead and shine on the lintel, and he had been working hard for this all these years.

The road is groping step by step, he makes friends with celebrities and scholars, and studies hard, but many things, just like he said to Lu Zhi before, three points rely on ability, six points rely on luck, and one point depends on life, the new army was originally a good opportunity, but unfortunately, now it seems that there may be a temporary prosperity, but if it goes on like this, I am afraid it will not last, which is also the reason why Chen Mo came to consult Gao Shun, now he has no better choice, entering the new army, maybe he can use the temporary prosperity of the new army as a springboard to enter the court.

As for what happened after that, Chen Mo was naturally not qualified to participate in the game of the big names in the court, all he could do was to try to strengthen himself, and then find a way out.

Gao Shun said that he made a choice, and he also talked about Chen Mo's heart, after the new army, how to choose? He wants to prove his worth, and military training is naturally one aspect of showing his ability, but Chen Mo has learned a lot, and everything is not bad, let him only establish himself as a training general, Chen Mo will be somewhat unwilling in his heart.

"You're still not leaving?" Gao Shun saw that Chen Mo was deep in thought, and asked while eating chicken wings.

"In the eyes of the general, Mo is such a snob?" Chen Mo was a little amused.

"You have a sharp mind, you are very versatile, and you are good at learning, but you are really like this." Gao Shun nodded.

Chen Mo: "......"

A frustration was blocked in his chest, and for a while, he didn't know what to say, and after a long time, Chen Mo shook his head and said: "I really came here to visit the general, whether the general believes it or not, asking the general for advice is just incidental." ”

"Perhaps." Gao Shun nodded noncommittally, his position is not high, and he can't show his talents, but in Luoyang all these years, many people have been strange, and if there is such a person without the slightest utilitarianism, he will be strange.

"I'll try to get the general out of prison." Chen Mo got up and saluted Gao Shun and said, "Although it is not heavily guarded here, there are also a lot of eunuch minions, so Mo is looking for an opportunity to visit the general again." ”

"No." Gao Shun just nodded and motioned for Chen Mo to leave.

Chen Mo sighed helplessly, said goodbye and left.

Out of the cell, Chen Mo was about to work hard, when he saw Cui Geng coming over in a hurry, and the guards in charge of Wangfeng also came back quickly, and when he saw Chen Mo, he hurriedly said, "Chen Mo, that eunuch...... Shuo Gong has entered the camp! ”

Cui Geng ran over and said, "Chen Mo, Shuogong has gathered all the generals, come with me." ”

"Good!" Chen Mo nodded, and left side by side with Cui Geng at the moment.

Before arriving at the school field, I saw the flag waving on the school field, the evil atmosphere was full of sky, the sword light was cold, and many people had gathered in the school field.

"These are ......," Chen Mo said curiously.

"Elite soldiers from various states and counties are also part of this new army, and in Luoyang City, Zhuang Yong has been openly recruited to join the new army. Cui Geng grinned, in this way, he is a general with military power, although the level will not be too high, but these soldiers are a strong army at a glance, if there is a war in the future, why worry about no merit?

"There are quite a few of them, two thousand!" Chen Mo glanced at it roughly, and said with some exclamation, two thousand people may not sound like much, but now the soldiers and horses in the entire Luoyang, including the captain of the city gate, the five schools of the Northern Army, the guard department, and the Guanglu Xun department, add up to less than 20,000.

And the 2,000 people in front of him are only a part of the new army, and now Luoyang and the surrounding areas of Luoyang are still recruiting a large number of soldiers, so it can be inferred that the number of the new army will have to be at least doubled or two.

"How do you know?" Cui Geng said curiously.

"If it is a phalanx of 100 people, it is ten columns in the vertical and horizontal, and you see the number of vertical and horizontal, forty vertically, and fifty horizontally, it is twenty phalanxes of 100 people, and there are discrepancies, and there are no two thousand numbers." Chen Mo smiled, this kind of phalanx is also the best phalanx for a number of soldiers, like the legendary Han Xin's method of counting soldiers, it is a little more complicated, you need to know a general range, look at the number of its vertical and horizontal, understand the algorithm, it is not difficult to calculate, it is just a matter of speed and slowness.

These soldiers and horses, different from the northern army in Luoyang, have not yet approached, you can feel a fierce atmosphere, two thousand people standing in one place, the momentum is connected, although invisible, but it seems to have quality, people who have not been warned, in front of them, without a word before the first three points of cowardice, as for the effect, just look at the point on the stage, the face is pale, the legs are weak, and the strong support of Qian Shuo standing on the stage can know.

Interesting!

Seeing Qian Shuo's appearance, somehow, Chen Mo and Cui Geng felt a burst of happiness in their hearts.
