Liu Xinda's army advanced too fast, so that the Tang army was still a little unable to keep up with their speed for a while. Wherever the other side left it, the Tang army had to divide its troops and station, to maintain law and order, and to suppress bandits and quell chaos. No matter where there is, after such turmoil, there will always be some people who take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, and it is always the peak of banditry.

Liu Xinda plundered and left, how to deal with the aftermath was not in his consideration at all, but the Tang army could not think so, they were going to be stationed for a long time and digest it as a place under their rule.

As a result, the speed of progress is slow.

Now Liu Xinda has conquered Pingxiang and is already preparing to leave, and the Tang army has not even entered Yichun.

"Captain, how about you try my roasted chicken?" A soldier laughed and tore off a chicken thigh that was still bubbling with oil and handed it to the scout leader who led the team.

This is a Tang Army scout team of only a dozen people. Because the speed of the large army could not keep up, the Tang army first sent scouts to Yichun to investigate the situation, and after roughly finding out the current problems in Yichun, once the large army was stationed, all the problems could be solved with thunder.

The scout team is now stationed in an abandoned village.

It can be seen that the destruction of this village was not long ago. Obviously, this is what Liu Xinda's troops did. In the ruined walls, you can still vaguely see the bones exposed. The chicken caught by this soldier is probably the remnants of the fish that slipped through the net after the last carpet raid by Liu Bu, and I don't know where to hide and escaped this catastrophe, but it is a good thing for them, no longer have to gnaw on cold and hard dry food.

In fact, in the scout's regulations, they are strictly forbidden to use open fire, because it is likely to cause them to expose their targets, but now this area is completely deserted, and they are not receiving combat detection, so they can indulge themselves a little.

And today's weather is really bad, dark and oppressive, God seems to want to fit and crush the earth to death, a little fireworks, but it will not attract anyone's attention. And it's not easy to spot the smoke and fire here.

The house where he hid is still intact, and it can be seen that the owner of the past can be roughly regarded as a well-off family, because in this house, pigsties, cattle pens, etc. were found, and in these years, the family can afford to raise these livestock, which is considered very good.

A circle of people sat around the edge of the fire, and the firewood in the firepit burned very vigorously, and the blazing flames reflected everyone's face.

"Instructor, after a rough turn in the village, I am afraid that no less than thirty people will die, men, women and children, those guys are really livestock." One of the team members said with some anger: "If you meet Lao Tzu, you will have to step on them three more times if you kill them." ”

The captain gnawed the chicken thighs in his hand cleanly, and finally chewed the chicken bones in his mouth and smacked them a few times before he spit it out and looked at the young team members under his command, and said: "This kind of thing, in times of war, is too common. You little ones haven't experienced those moments before, and I, I'm older, but I've seen too much. Sometimes I feel that my blood is cold, and no matter how miserable the scene is, I am indifferent. ”

This scout captain is a legendary figure among the right thousand bull guards. He is indeed very old, and he is approaching fifty. It has been ten years since he served in the army, and it is said that at such an age and with such qualifications, he would have been promoted a long time ago, and if he could not be promoted, he should retire.

But he couldn't get promoted, first, the age limit was too high, and the approval from the top couldn't be done. Second, I can't read, and I don't want to be old enough to learn to read and write.

He did not retire because his commander was reluctant. This man was a hunter before joining the army, and it was a must to follow the hidden sentry and cover it in the army, and there was a slight trace, even if it was a footprint, a bubble of urine and, he could also tell you a flower from these ordinary things, and then this flower was very likely to lead to a large sea of flowers. So when the retirement season comes, the bosses will always find a reason to keep him.

In the army, he rarely goes out to work, mainly to train the army in this area. This time, if it weren't for the fact that all the scouts were sent out, there would really be no one to pull out, and these young people who had just entered the training camp would not have been sent out by Li Dare to carry out the mission.

And after being in the army for a long time, he is not willing to leave the barracks. Although his position cannot be promoted, his salary is getting higher and higher, and as a scout instructor, he now receives a salary that is comparable to that of a ranger general.

The new dolls in front of him, all in their early twenties, performed well in the boot camp, so they were singled out and sent to him for training.

There are some dangers, but on the whole, they are still safe. Ordinary bandits don't dare to provoke them, some of them have the courage to grow hair, and they also send them food when they come, and the old instructor even hopes that some bandits who are not long-eyed will try it, just so that these dolls can see the blood and open the meat, and with the first encounter, it will be much easier in the future. Such bandits, when they encounter organized soldiers, are basically a dead word.

Of course, if you run into an equally experienced enemy scout, you're in trouble.

"Instructor, why aren't you honored? Isn't it good to go home and pick up your grandchildren? A strange-looking fellow diligently poured a cup of hot water for the old instructor and held it in front of him.

"What? Scared of my practice? The old instructor smiled.

"Not really. We know that the instructor is teaching us skills, in our hometown, to learn skills, then we have to pay money, and after paying the money, we have to work for the master for a few years. This is the discipline. The soldier laughed.

"Still reluctant!" The instructor sighed: "I've been in the army for a long time, and I can't adapt to it when I go back." Second, my family is doing well now, but when I think of the old days, my heart is furious, and I don't want to go back to the past. Therefore, it is my little wish to teach this idea to more people, so that more people can protect the people, so that everyone will no longer live the precarious life of the past. When I can't do it anymore, I can go home again, and my heart is calm! ”

"The instructor is a member of the Yixing Club, right?"

"Of course!" The instructor said proudly: "My membership number, but it is very reliable, within 10,000, you know?" ”

Looking at the few little guys sitting around him who were a little dazed, the instructor continued: "Now we have more than one million Yixing members in Datang, and General Liu Yuan and Liu all know each other, right?" His membership number is right behind me. This means that I joined the company earlier than him. ”

Everyone suddenly realized: "In this way, our Emperor Majesty should be the number one, right?" ”

"Of course." The instructor said. "Didn't I go away for a while a while? I went to Chang'an, I went to the Yixing Society Congress, and His Majesty the Emperor shook hands with me! ”

The minions immediately became excited.

"Instructor, is His Majesty the Emperor as the storyteller said, eight feet tall, with his hands above his knees, his ears lobes to his shoulders, and when his eyes are swept away, he is full of light and awe-inspiring?"

"Bah." The instructor said angrily: "You kid should have read a book, how can you listen to these people talking nonsense, Your Majesty the Emperor, you are very angry, you smile at me when you shake my hand, my legs and stomach are weak at that time, and I almost can't stand." Your Majesty is half a head taller than me, but there your ears are down to your shoulders and your hands are above your knees, isn't that a monster? ”

"When will I be able to shake hands with His Majesty the Emperor?" One person said with a sense of longing.

"Then you'll have to make a big deal first." The instructor laughed. "Not everyone is qualified to see His Majesty the Emperor. Boy, when there are more than 1,000 people in the conference hall of the Yixing Society, they are either born and died to fight for the country, or they are painstakingly strategizing, or they are inventing and creating great contributions to the country, like me, I can only walk in if I am lucky! ”

"Instructor, you still talk in one set, but you can't usually see it." Another soldier laughed.

The instructor smiled: "Don't think I don't know that you scolded me for being a rough person behind my back, but I am not wrong, I am indeed a rough person, illiterate, unlike your luck, out of His Majesty the Emperor and others, let you read and read since you were a child, I really can't say these words, it was said when Your Majesty spoke, I didn't dare to pull a word." I memorized some on the spot, and when I came back, I read it to me and memorized it alive. I don't dare to forget a word of what Your Majesty said. ”

"I read it in the newspaper, but I forgot about it." The little soldier said.

The instructor snorted and said: "Be rude to you, it is to let you learn more skills, in the army, no better than other places, if you don't learn a little something, you will be killed on the battlefield." Boys, don't underestimate the enemy, no matter how weak the enemy is, there are people who can kill you. The people I have worked with over the years have died a lot, and there is not much left. The people who do our job are all elites in the army, and you must be very proud of that, but I can tell you clearly that our line of work is also the most casualty. Don't look at me as old as I live, I have more scars on my body than you are. Because the vast majority of those who fight against us are also the strongest on the enemy's side. We rarely engage on a large scale, but the smaller, even soloer, more dangerous it is. Fighting in large armies, general intrigue and trickery do not work, but fighting alone, what kind of cunning tricks do not? ”

Everyone listened in awe, and only the capital that nodded violently remained.

"Alright. Having said all that, let's all sleep. All the mechanisms that should be set up outside are all set, right? I'm going to check, and if anything goes wrong, they'll be on duty with me tonight!" The old instructor stood up and walked out.
