The imperial capital is shrouded in moonlight, calm and silent, this ancient city with a history of hundreds of years, regardless of the wind and rain, the change of dynasties, the flow of time, still stands on the hinterland of the Central Plains. Immovable as a mountain.

Ping'an City is his eternal name, only a hundred years ago when the group of northern barbarians came to the master, it changed the name of Dayuan, but it was only more than ten years.

As the center of the Xuanping Dynasty, the imperial capital city can naturally represent the will of the entire Xuanping, the news of the invasion of the Northern Yuan Iron Cavalry gradually spread in the Xuanping government and the opposition, but did not set off any waves, the people of the imperial capital seem to have a blind confidence in their country, this self-confidence comes from the strength of Xuanping, the imperial capital is still so, not to mention other places. Their country has been invincible for a hundred years, and even the demons have been beaten honestly, and the Northern Barbarians are nothing.

This is what ordinary people think, but the officials don't think so, they know better than the people how powerful the Northern Yuan Iron Cavalry is, and they are more worried about what to do if they can't hold the Northern Barbarians come in. In the middle of the night, they tossed and turned, and there were those who worried about the country, the people, and themselves.

Tao Li didn't sleep well that night, he needed to sort out his thoughts well, and he didn't fall asleep until the sky was white.

In the early morning of the next day, Tao Li rushed to the camp of the Zhulu Army outside the imperial capital, and before leaving, Gu Yu grabbed his ears before staying to drink a bowl of porridge.

The Zhulu army was stationed in Gyeonggi, and the camp was located in the northern suburbs outside the imperial capital, only thirty miles away from the imperial capital, and this army, which has continued from the Taizu period to the present, enjoys a high reputation in Xuanping and even the whole world.

Chasing the deer means that the heroes rise together, compete for the world, rise in the stormy times, and become famous when the Central Plains is sinking.

Without the Zhulu Army, there would be no Xuanping today, and there would be no prosperous era today, this statement is no exaggeration.

The Zhulu Army has witnessed the hundred years of wind and frost in Xuanping, every major battle has its shadow, the army of a hundred battles, invincible, invincible, in Xuanping's current top ten legions is a well-deserved division of the king, if you really want to compare, it is only in the Anning Army of the rest of the city, the Zhige Army and the Dragon Guard Army of the garrison of the imperial capital can barely come up with the competition.

Most of the commanders of each Zhulu Army are also from the royal family, and their loyalty is higher than their combat power, and their fame is only high.

The first emperor died soon after the battle of chasing demons, and the new emperor came to a major reshuffle of the Xuanping army at that time after ascending the throne.

Most of the troops in Ning'an and Zhige were soldiers in the former Pingchao Army, and the commander was Tao Jing's son, which could be regarded as a real existence, and the Zhige Army was the elite drawn from various armies. In the matter of defending against the demons, Xuanping has never relaxed, and the number of troops on the western front has never been less than 300,000, and it is absolutely elite.

Having said that, not the elite can be forced out of the elite by the demons, or that group of demon cubs have no brains, after being led by the first emperor to fight all the way to Taipingbo, after killing 600,000 soldiers and civilians, it finally stopped for ten years, but after ten years, it began to make waves again, and from time to time out of the moat mountain to violate the border.

For several years, the city of rest and the demons have been at war, and the demons have become the whetstone of the 400,000 troops of the city.

In addition to these three armies, the Dragon Guard Army of the Garrison Beijing Division does not say that the undoubted Wang Division, the others will be slightly inferior, and the peaceful and prosperous era will really make people forget too much.

Outside the camp of the Zhulu Army, Tao Li watched the soldiers who were training on horseback, and heard that the Zhulu Army had a rule, as long as it was not on the battlefield, even if it was raining and snowing, it was necessary to train, and it was indispensable to boil up physical strength, practice combat skills, and drill formations.

In fact, the soldiers of all dynasties were not very trained, after all, training soldiers requires money and food, and if you let soldiers train, you have to let them eat well, right? Therefore, most people are reluctant to train soldiers, and even in wartime, most of them recruit people with good foundation to serve as soldiers, and very few seriously train new soldiers. Most of the soldiers go directly into battle, and the strength they improve in actual combat is really rare.

Only Xuanping is willing and capable of spending a lot of money to train the army, tirelessly, but not every army is as strict as the Zhulu army.

Taizu is a legendary figure, well aware of the importance of the existence of the army, this is the foundation of the country, there is no war to fight in the peaceful years to come, training will definitely be slack, if you want the whole army to be completely loyal, the combat power is impossible, but it is not difficult to just let an army do it. As a result, the Zhulu Army became the first choice, and the successive commanders were all from the royal family, and their talents and conduct were all the best choices.

Compared with tranquility, the two armies of Zhige have demons to sharpen, and the Zhulu army only has training, non-stop training. Even every year, tens of thousands of people are sent to the city of rest to change defenses, and they have a few battles with the demon cubs with real swords and guns, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.

The training ground was in full swing, arrays, fighting, archery, equestrianism, physical fitness and other training, there were many of them. The morale is high, the army is at its peak,

In the tent of the commander of the Zhulu Army, Yao Changxing squinted his eyes and looked at the nine dragon guards, quite satisfied, the dragon guards are the personal guards of the Son of Heaven, divided into bright guards and dark guards, all of them are masters, especially the secret guards, good at hiding and hiding, in addition to protecting the Son of Heaven, some things that cannot be seen are also handed over to them to do,

Yao Changxing thought to himself that this time his nephew who was in the supreme position was really willing to pay for it, and the thirty-six secret guards sent nine of them, which were sent, not sent. And there are still four first-class guards and five second-class guards, Tao Li's kid is really enviable.

Tao Li walked into the tent, except for Yao Changxing and the nine dark dragon guards were all unfamiliar faces, the 150,000 soldiers of the Zhulu Army, Yao Changxing personally took charge of 30,000 people, the two deputy commanders each commanded 20,000, and the rest were led by four generals, each of whom was in charge of several battalions.

Yao Changxing arranged Tao Li under Zhao Dingyuan, Zhao Dingyuan is a well-known Confucian general, with a gentle personality and compassion, and it is most suitable to take Tao Li with him.

Zhao Dingyuan, who was angry, led the group back to his camp, and after briefly explaining the affairs, he introduced Huang Heshuo and Ding Huaixing, the two battalion commanders, to Tao Li.

Zhao Dingyuan said to the two: "In the future, the two of you will follow General Tao, don't bully people when they are young, I will only look for you if something goes wrong." ”

Huang Heshuo withdrew his curious gaze from Tao Li, hugged his fist at Zhao Dingyuan and said, "Take the order!" ”

Ding Huaixing reluctantly followed the order, the disbelief in his eyes and the disdain in his actions were beyond words.

Outside the tent, Tao Li and Huang Ding greeted each other, Huang Heshuo smiled, and Ding Huaixing turned his nostrils to the sky, twisting his head to the side, and did not take Tao Li in his eyes at all.

Tao Li didn't care, his expression was as usual, he was a newcomer, he could bear it. Besides, he is here to fight, he doesn't want intrigue, and he is not good at it, suddenly Tao Li thought of the bamboo pole in Sister Gu Yu's mouth, if he is here, I am afraid that I can't stand this anger!

Ding Huaixing was still dissatisfied after seeing Tao Li make Tao Li deflated, and continued: "Little Marquis, you said that you don't do it with your noble son with brocade clothes and jade food, why do you have to go to the barracks to suffer?" If you can't endure this hardship, there is still a chance now, otherwise the army will leave tomorrow, but it will be called a deserter. ”

Seeing that Tao Li didn't speak, Ding Huaixing still continued to reluctantly: "Actually, I can understand that you want to make military merits, in fact, you can go to your brother's Anning Army, those are your father's old departments, don't you say that you are a deputy general, no one dares to say a word when you are a deputy general, as a deputy commander, you only need to sit in the camp and drink a little wine every day, and a lot of military merits will be sent to the door, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Ding Huaixing, who is nearly thirty years old, looks burly, like a simple-minded fool with developed limbs, but this big mouth is very poisonous when he speaks, and the meaning in and out of the words is nothing more than that you Tao Li has no fart skills, why do you want to grab Lao Tzu's position, and it is not up to your dead father and his eldest brother.

Jia San, the leader of the nine dragon guards, couldn't listen to Ding Huaixing's words behind Tao Li, and stared at Ding Huaixing with unkind eyes, ready to make a move at any time.

Tao Li stepped in front of Jia San, did not answer Ding Huaixing's words, but said with the corner of his mouth raised: "I heard that Camp Commander Ding is good at using a halberd, I don't know if I can ask for advice today and see his demeanor." ”

Ding Huaixing laughed after hearing this, the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he seemed to remember something, and said to Tao Li: "Forget it, the little marquis has a noble status, if I don't stop the hand and hurt the little marquis, we can't afford to pay for it." ”

Tao Li waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Camp Commander Ding can give it a try, I will bear the consequences myself, it has nothing to do with you, so many people can testify." ”

Ding Huaixing weighed and thought about it, thinking that the other party's words had come to this point, and he was still grinding and chirping, and his face was too bad, don't expect to raise his head in front of this kid in the future, or not, then reward him for a hundred days, let him retreat in spite of difficulties, so many people are watching from the sidelines, he will not deny it, even if Ning Anhou wants to stand up for his younger brother at that time, he has nothing to say, and tomorrow the deer army will go to the north, afraid of an egg.

After thinking about it, Ding Huaixing no longer looked down on people like Fang Cai, and said to Tao Li with a fist in a dignified manner: "Then please ask the little marquis to give advice, the little marquis himself should be careful, Lao Ding's halberd doesn't have eyes." ”

Tao Li smiled in return, the third class and the others didn't even look at Ding Huaixing again, what are you kidding, the disciple taught by King Xiaoyao asked him to be careful? Don't be crippled yourself, just steal the fun. In particular, a few A-word secret guards scoffed at this matter and felt ridiculous.

A few years ago, a total of eighteen secret guards of the first and second ranks fought together to compete with the King of Freedom. It's just a draw, although it's not a battle of life and death, but in the end they all let go of their hands and feet, and the final outcome is that the King of Freedom is still standing gracefully, and his side still has spare strength except for A One and A Three, and the rest of everyone fell to the ground. This is still the king of Xiaoyao who saved face for them, and did not go all out.

I heard that the saint said that this little marquis has the essence of the martial arts of the King of Ease, then there will definitely be no fake, just because you, a veteran ruffian who has been a soldier for several years, dare to speak like this?

Tao Li walked to the school martial arts field, some things really can't be done by lip service, it won't work here to convince people with virtue, since this is the case, then it is better to convince people with martial arts.

Wu can determine the country, but also the people.
