Chapter 24: Jumping into the River and Hitting the Wall

Home is precious to everyone. In the eyes of the three thousand Tang slaves, it is also the same, but most of them have lost their homes and don't know where their homes are, and some of them have homes and can't go back, and they are separated from the Tang Dynasty by thousands of mountains and rivers. General Li is right, join the Ministry of Light, reorganize their homeland, or slowly find their lost relatives, or, wait for the day when the general leads them to migrate back to the Tang Dynasty.

In the Ministry of Light, it is better to be fed, warmly dressed, and sleep comfortably, compared with the slave life, and even compared with the previous life, be a soldier, become a soldier, even if it is for self-preservation, train and train, but it is not as hard as being a miner. However, the recruits soon became depressed, and everything was not as simple as they imagined.

In the early morning, on the horse training ground of the king of Qishi City, there were many swords and guns, and the crowds were surging, and the noise was shaking the sky.

After two days of cultivation, Li Huaitang selected 2,000 people and organized them into an army: the Wucai Army. According to Heizi, this is the name of the Tang Dynasty for the infantry cavalry, riding a horse when marching and dismounting during battle.

There were a total of 3,000 people in the Wucai army, of which 500 were the best in the bloody battle with Dadu Mo. As an important part of the armed cavalry army, mules and horses are indispensable, and Li Huaitang did his best to barely gather 2,000 mounts, and the armed cavalry army was officially opened.

The light cavalry army, 600 people, is divided into left and right horsemen and eagle cavalry, and the black tower and Heizi who protect the capital are respectively commanders, each leading 200 people, among them, the eagle cavalry is a scout with one person and two horses.

"Left, turn left, wrong, how many times have I said it? Turtle, you're a king, the barefoot side is left, damn it. ”

Facing a group of soldiers who did not know why, left and right, Li Huaitang's head was expanding. Fortunately, Li Huaitang's adaptability is not bad, and when he found that something was wrong, he promptly ordered the recruits to take off their shoes on one side of their feet, and take their bare feet as the left side to make it easy to identify, but they were stunned, and there were still some stupid big ones who were still the same, which made Li Huaitang mad in pain.

"Blow the trumpet and move forward!"

The muffled horn shook the eardrums, and a detachment of 100 marched forward with spears raised, their heads held high, followed by a second column, then a third. Although the team is uneven, Li Huaitang can only reluctantly accept it.

The procession kept moving forward, a small river of horses in front of them, but the horn that stopped its footsteps did not sound for a long time, it was near, it was near, it was about to fall into the river...... There were panicked soldiers who looked back at their general, and Li Huaitang seemed to have forgotten the existence of the trumpeter.

"Don't come, stop, stop......"

Standing by the river, the hundred soldiers signaled the second column of robes behind them not to go any further, or they would be forced into the river by the tip of their spears.

The soldiers in the second column looked back nervously, and the spear tips behind them followed closely, stopped? Isn't that a joke?

"Plop!"

A soldier who could not hide, stumbled and fell into the river, this was only a prologue, a prelude to the fall of a large group of soldiers.

"Turtle, you are a king, you want my life?"

The soldiers who fell into the river were very embarrassed and cursed.

The same fate befell the soldiers of the second column......

"Wei Anguo, come out!"

Li Huaitang was blushing, the storm was gaining momentum, and it was on the eve of the outbreak.

"Here!"

Wei Anguo was wet and stood awkwardly in front of Li Huaitang. He was a strong man who almost died in the hands of Qu Liluo, Li Huaitang saw that he was courageous, and appointed him as the deputy commander of the martial arts, together with Gongsun Wenyuan, as the deputy of Gongsun Yaowu.

"Why stop? Tell me your reasons. ”

Li Huaitang roared loudly, as if he wanted to deafen Wei Anguo's ears.

"This,"

Wei Anguo was short of words and didn't know how to answer. Could it be that the soldiers don't want to get their new clothes and shoes dirty? These soldiers, who had been slaves for many years, had just put on the neat clothes and shoes sent to them by the Ministry of Light, and they all cherished them very much. Some people are still wearing silk clothes for the first time, and they are even more reluctant to get dirty.

For the food and clothing of these thousands of people, but I was sad that the "***" of the Ministry of Light, Umeng, Shamur, and the big and small chestnuts used up the inventory of the king's warehouse, and ran all over the city, only to barely raise enough clothes, which even included clothes made of silk, although they were colorful and messy to wear, but for these recruits, this was the treatment and happiness they had not had for a long time.

"Get out, the one who brought you shouted to me: shame on disobedience. Run ten laps around the field, and the next time you violate the order, you will have twenty laps, plus you are not allowed to eat! ”

Li Huaitang gritted his teeth, what he needed was an army that was forbidden by orders, not a rabble like the one in front of him.

"Is there a general like you? Deliberately make people jump into the river! ”

A crisp voice with banter sounded from behind Li Huaitang.

Li Huaitang didn't need to turn around to know that this sweet voice, except for Su Zizi, there would be no one else. Without looking back, he said solemnly:

"Don't say it's the river blocking the way, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, if the order doesn't come, they have to wade through. They are not horse bandits, they are soldiers, they are soldiers, and obedience to orders is their first life. ”

Sure enough, a faint goose yellow passed behind him and appeared in the field of vision in the corner of Li Huaitang's eyes.

The training ground and the palace are close together, and the hustle and bustle attracts the little lady.

"Why don't you keep quiet, and think I'm wrong?"

"It's the first time I've seen you sit upright like this, and I don't feel very comfortable."

I felt that this kind of thing was very wonderful, even Su Zizi didn't realize it, every time I talked to Li Huaitang, there was a sense of freshness rippling in my heart, as if I suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the cold air.

The vigilance didn't know when it disappeared from her heart, maybe it was when Li Huaitang gave up the "meat" to her mouth for the second time "for her", maybe it was after Li Huaitang defeated Dadu Mo, or maybe it was the day when Li Huaitang rescued the three thousand Tang slaves. In short, Li Huaitang no longer exists as a horse bandit in her heart. If a horse bandit does not commit adultery and plunder, and if a horse bandit does not plunder the whole city, then he is not a horse bandit, and, as I have not heard, a horse bandit will treat slaves well, give them clothes, and give them food.

"Alright, let's put it that way. Your beauty makes me curious, I would like to go to the caliph's harem, and what Sulu Khan's house is, to see if there are still beauties like you, and borrow them by the way. I'm worried that when the time comes, if these bastards don't listen to their orders, they will scatter and leave me there. ”

There was no applause, no encouragement, and what Li Huaitang got was a pair of white eyes.

Li Huaitang didn't mind at all, on the contrary, he liked it very much, and the beauty's resentful expression was a pleasure in his eyes. Li Huaitang, who turned his cold eyes into motivation, is still interested, and the topic is still the same:

"Since I am here and live here, then the order here can only be decided by me, and whoever tries to say no, I will let him disappear. What I'm doing now is preparing for this. ”

"Are you going to make me disappear too?"

Su Xiaoniang asked angrily.

"This one, you are an exception. It is my freedom to like you and pursue you, and it is your right to accept it or not. In any case, I respect your choice. ”

stunned, this is Su Xiaoniang's first reaction. Power and freedom, respect and choice. For the first time, she had heard of it, who was this plausible horse bandit? Every time I talk to him, I always hear strange things. Sometimes, it is completely different from his domineering appearance, although it is very direct, but it can inadvertently make people have sweet thoughts.

In the distance, a group of soldiers who were advancing solidly slammed into a wall......

"Good! Gongsun Yaowu did a good job. ”

Li Huaitang showed his first smile of the day.

"You're such a sadist, they're all hitting the wall, you're stealing fun."

The connection between "jumping into the river", "hitting the wall" and being powerful is really profound, beyond Su Xiaoniang's understanding.

"I can't tell you this question, I'll talk about it later. Well, the key to this, including my strengths, you'll find out slowly. ”

The best way to treat a beauty is to be complex and simplistic.

"Your merits? I've found out!"

"What?"

"Thick-skinned, thick-skinned."

"Ahem, Zizi, are you free at night? Let's talk about life and ideals? ”

"Huh?"

"Okay, you wait for me at night, I'll go to your room to find you, remember to leave the door for me."

"Shameless! Whoopy thief! ……”
