After Zhuang Fudi received full authorization from Li Wenyuan, he directly ordered the opening of the recruitment point, and stopped recruiting troops after recruiting 20,000 troops. Then he personally came to the Eagle Yang Mansion to find the commander of the Ninth Legion. The officer in charge of Yingyang Mansion found a few alternate officers who were said to have performed very well in the military academy assessment in recent years for Zhuang Fudi to choose, Zhuang Fudi looked at several alternate officers of the same age in front of him and said: "You and your army are surrounded at this time, what do you do?" Write the answer on the paper in front of you, I see, half a pillar of incense time. ”

After Zhuang Fudi finished speaking, he sat behind the table, picked up the tea in front of him, and slowly closed his eyes and tasted it, ignoring the alternate officers in the room.

The alternate officers looked at each other, and no one could understand what Zhuang Fudi's intentions were, so they picked up the paper brush in front of them and wrote their decisions little by little. A cup of tea is almost drunk, and the time for half a pillar of incense is almost over, Zhuang Fudi put the empty teacup in his hand on the table in front of him, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's time, stop writing." ”

The alternate officer in the room put down the pen in his hand when he heard Zhuang Fudi's words, and finally sat down with a straight pen, waiting for Zhuang Fudi's next instructions.

Zhuang Fudi walked out and looked at them one by one, and then looked at an answer with some curiosity and was stunned for a while, before he smiled and said: "The two adjacent people exchanged two by two, this time you are the side besieging the enemy army, and the plan of the defenders is in your hands, you see how to destroy the enemy army in front of you, it is still half a pillar of incense." ”

At this time, the alternate officers were exchanged according to Zhuang Fudi's requirements, and only one person looked at the paper exchanged in his hand and was stunned, that paper was the paper that Zhuang Fudi saw before, which should have written a plan on how to defend against the enemy, but now there was nothing written on the paper in his hand, and a blank one.

But after all, these people are the best of the alternate officers in the Yingyang Mansion of Wuwei County, and their ability to adapt to changes should naturally be extremely strong, so this officer was stunned for a while, and then he understood the idea of the alternate officer who did the previous answer, so he laughed regardless of the eyes of others, and then picked up the pen and began his own answer.

Zhuang Fudi frowned when he saw it, and was very surprised that person could still answer, after all, he didn't have a suitable plan to crack the defensive method expressed on the blank paper. So he squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep, and didn't open his eyes until the last half of the incense was burned, and walked to the table and began to look at the answers in front of him one by one.

Many of them are modest answers, nothing more than some conventional methods of building high walls, digging deep ditches, infantry holding on, and cavalry attacking, and the latest is only to let the musketeers get on their horses to form mobile troops to kill and injure as many enemy troops as possible with the support of large battalions. These modest answers are that it is possible to lead the army as an officer in peacetime, but it is obvious that it is not suitable in the current situation, and in the case that the number and quality of their own army are not as good as the Liang division and the Eastern Turkic army on the opposite side, the army led by such a person can only hold on and cannot attack, because it lacks an aura, a reckless and cautious aura.

Zhuang Fudi finally came to the front of the two people and watched the answers of the two people. The previous blank paper was because the conditions given by Zhuang Fudi were not enough, and everything was on paper without knowing the trapped terrain and the momentum of the water veins, which was not believable. The other person's answer was to write a few sentences very briefly, but it summarized all the situations: choose a high camp near the water, take the village and live without water, choose a wall to live in the valley, and live in the mountains and springs.

Zhuang Fudi nodded, these two answers were quite satisfactory to him, and then they both turned over to see the solution of the other side of the attack. After seeing the other person's answer, the person who left the blank paper wrote down the solution on the paper: digging the soil near the water and trapping the camp, seizing the village and burning the company camp, building the camp step by step on the concave wall, and defending the death camp according to the spring.

On the other piece of paper, when faced with a blank piece of paper, the alternate officer gave his own answer after only a little thought: heavily besieged and waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Zhuang Fudi nodded and said, "What's the name of the two of you?" ”

"Wei Wenyan." "Bu Cheng'an."

Zhuang Fudi nodded, these two people are good at defending and attacking from the answers, and they seem to know each other's thoughts a little, and they don't need to go into too much detail, so they asked: "You two seem to have known each other for a long time?" ”

"Back to sir, the two of us have grown up together since childhood, and we are very familiar with each other." Wei Wenyan said with a smile.

"Okay, you two stay, the rest of us will go to another room for the next round of testing, and we still have some officer positions left for you to compete for." Zhuang Fudi said to the others in the room.

"The military situation is like fire, I just won't be more polite with you, we are all military generals, so we have one thing to say. We now need two people to be the commander and deputy commander of the newly formed Ninth Legion, and the two of you will see how to divide it? Zhuang Fudi gave the two of them the last test topic.

"Sir, are you talking about the Ninth Army Corps used to defend the army of Liang Shidu this time?" Wei Wenyan frowned and said.

Zhuang Fudi nodded.

"Then let Cheng An be the commander of the corps, he is very good at defense, and when we face the Liang division and the Eastern Turkic army, what we need is to find an opportunity to attack in the defense, and hand it over to him to command the whole army to defend, I will try my best to find the loopholes of the enemy army on the opposite side while assisting him in defense." Wei Wenyan said without hesitation.

"What do you think of Cheng'an?" Zhuang Fudi looked at the silent Bu Cheng'an on the other side and said.

Bu Chengan nodded and didn't say anything else.

"Sir, don't be surprised, Cheng An has this kind of stinky temper, otherwise why hasn't he been selected to serve in the army so far." Wei Wenyan saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so he came out of the original factory and said.

"It doesn't matter, we don't need those bells and whistles in the Western Regions Army, merit is everything, as long as you can win the battle, even if you are a dumb person, you can be a general." Zhuang Fudi nodded and said.

Bu Cheng'an and Wei Wenyan quickly led the selected officer corps as the backbone of the newly formed Ninth Army Corps, and came to the recruit camp to begin training the newly recruited recruits. According to the real-time marching status of the Eastern Turkic army from the night snack and Zhuang Fudi's own deduction, the Eastern Turkic army still has a month to reach Lingwu County at this time, so there is still a month and a half before the attack of the Liang Turk coalition army in the prediction.
