Chapter 340: Martial Arts (8)

There are many people in the Shence army, unlike the soldiers under Xu Qing, who can be assembled in front of the Xuanwu Gate, and the soldiers here need to be seen one by one. The people Xu Qing needs are those who hold big shields, spears, and even Mo knives. These three arms need to withstand the impact of cavalry, and the weapons in their hands are also very heavy, so it is not good to be thin and too short. Before Xu Qing came, he measured a rope according to the relatively tall pavilion in his camp, more than one meter eight.

Walking on the road, the eldest grandson Wuji and Xu Qing did not speak, Xu Qing felt a little embarrassed, so he found some long tree trunks on the road, broke his rope in half, and cut two branches accordingly. handed it over to Zhao Gong and Wei Xian, saying that it was to select people according to this height, and it was okay to be a little lower, not too low. Originally, Xu Qing wanted to say that the first point was not good, but he thought that this height was rare in later generations, not to mention that this nutrition was much inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty in later generations.

After a while, they arrived at the barracks of the Shence Army. When Xu Qing came, it was still more than ten o'clock in the morning, and now the Shence Army was practicing in the morning. Looking at the dust flying on the school grounds, Xu Qing couldn't help frowning. When you walk to a place, you ask the person who is practicing.

Wei Xian and Zhao Gong took the rope and went to measure their height, and this kind of "rough work" naturally didn't have to be done by Xu Qing.

The eldest grandson Wuji took Xu Qing to a martial arts viewing platform, and watched the people below shoot guns and arrows, and practice horseback riding. Suddenly, the eldest grandson Wuji said to Xu Qing: "Xuanping Hou, what do you think of the soldiers of this Divine Ce Army?" ”

Xu Qing smiled and said, "The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong!" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded: "I don't know how the soldiers under the Marquis of Xuanping compare to the soldiers in this Divine Army?" ”

Xu Qing waved his finger at the school and said: "This Shence army is a strong soldier, attacking the city and fighting the enemy, all of them are unsurpassed good soldiers. The battle must be won, and the attack must be won. But the soldiers under my command are not trained for the siege of the city, but the general's soldiers are a strange army. ”

"Oh?" The eldest grandson Wuji stared at Xu Qing and said: "Hehe, Xuanping Hou is a strange person in the court, thinking of strange plans, and repeatedly performing miraculous feats, I don't know how Lord Xu trained this strange soldier?" ”

How can I easily teach you the method of military training, it can be calculated for the world, and if the army is strong, the country will be strong, so I will tell you the way of military training. It is impossible for you to enlighten yourself or give it to someone else. When the time comes, whether your eldest grandson Wuji is in power or someone else is in power, it will always be good for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and I, Xu Qing, am not a stingy person. Xu Qing thought in his heart, opened his mouth and said: "This general should follow the fourteen words when training troops, 'fast as the wind, Xu like a forest, aggression like fire, and immobile as a mountain'." These 14 words are the purpose of military training, the pursuit of military training, and the outline is clear-sighted. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is actually disdainful in his heart, what do he say at a young age that he is a strange soldier, and he doesn't attack the city and pull out the village, if he doesn't attack the city, how did the Tang Dynasty come about? Presumably it is your Xuanwu Sect's soldiers, who have been abolished by you, and this time they are looking for elite soldiers. Hmph, let's see how you make this lie.

But after listening to Xu Qing's fourteen-character mantra, the eldest grandson Wuji was shocked. I think that at the beginning, Xu Qing won three battles and three victories against his own soldiers, although they were not his elite, but those soldiers were also his highest means of dealing with ordinary people. Xu Qing was able to defeat them, but the eldest grandson Wuji didn't care, because he felt that Xu Qing could win either by luck or by Li Yuan.

However, two things changed the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji. First, one day he sent the eldest grandson Chong to sell the field, and Xu Qing took out more than 2,000 taels of silver. There are really not many people who can take out two thousand taels at home, and this incident shows that Xu Qing has the financial resources, and if he has the financial resources, he can support a bunch of samurai who are difficult to train, expensive in equipment, and have high salaries. Therefore, Xu Qing has the basis to compete with the eldest grandson's family.

However, it is difficult to find a thousand troops, and even if Xu Qing can have so many people to work for him, it is useless. Just like the first batch of people I invited, if there is no organization, I will be vulnerable when I encounter real forces. The eldest grandson Wuji didn't know that Xu Qing's subordinates were people from the dark forces under the prince of the previous dynasty, although they were just gatekeepers at the time, but now that a large number of heroes have fallen in the Sui and Tang dynasties, Yang Cheng and Yang Xin are still very strong. Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to break his head, and he couldn't think of which hero Xu Qing hired.

But today, all this has a result, an answer. This rare general, this hero who is good at training, is Xu Qing himself! Look at the fourteen words he said, these are the words that a battle-hardened general can't say, if you ask Li Jing, he also has to admire these fourteen words. Xu Qing can say these fourteen words, and when he comes to recruit soldiers today, he must know how to use the fourteen words. It's amazing, if Xu Qing trains all these 4,000 people, and can be the same as those guards in his own family, then who can beat him in this Chang'an City except for the emperor and those people? No, no, those people are easily unwilling to make a move, Xu Qing is loyal to Li Yuan again, Li Yuan is raising a sharp blade that everyone is afraid of.

But no, where did Xu Qing get such a big ability? To say that Xu Qing was born to know, the eldest grandson Wuji does not believe it. If there is another peerless master behind Xu Qing, or that kind of family, the eldest grandson Wuji feels a little credible. Anyway, Xu Qing is really unprovoked. The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a long time, but Xu Qing didn't bother him.

After a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji gave Xu Qing a salute and said, "This official has been taught, and Xuanping Hou is indeed an extraordinary person!"

Xu Qing waved his hand and said: "Where is it, Ben Jiang has only just come up with such a few methods, I don't know if it will be effective." ”

After chatting a few more words, Xu Qing personally participated in the selection of soldiers, and the eldest grandson Wuji followed from afar, looking at Xu Qing's back.

When Xu Qing and Eldest Sun Wuji were chatting just now, Wei Xian and Zhao Gong had already selected seven or eight people, and according to their opinions just now, each group of people would have at most one eligibility. Some of them are tall, but they look very thin and weak, and they have to be eliminated. Xu calculated that there were tens of thousands of people in this Shence army, and if he chose it like this, it might be enough for the number.

It's just that Xu Qing laughed in his heart, in this way, it is equivalent to cutting half of the head of the Shence Army and transferring all the top-notch people away. In ancient times, soldiers basically relied on strength, and paid attention to a person who was tall and big, so that he could be stable and imposing. The eldest grandson Wuji didn't ask everyone to hide, and then pushed out his auxiliary soldiers for Xu Qingxuan, which was already very face-saving.

On the other hand, Xu Qing's selection of soldiers is actually difficult for others to refuse, whether it is the generals who cherish their own soldiers or the soldiers themselves. From the perspective of the generals, they definitely don't want their elite soldiers to be transferred, but Xu Qing selected troops for the Xuanwu Gate guards, not for himself. In other words, this soldier was selected by the emperor, and I, Xu Qing, were only temporarily in charge, and if you dare to prevaricate, you will be violating the holy decree. For the soldiers themselves, this Xuanwu Gate is the defender of the palace, and it is still the emperor's personal guard, which is much better than the Shence Army. Finally, Xu Qing's reputation, the current Xu Qing is a legendary figure in the army, serving under Xu Qing, learning something by the way, is also the dream of the soldiers.

"General, the next is the captain, please show the general!"

Xu Qing was thinking about looting all the tall people in the Divine Strategy Army, and unknowingly arrived at the training ground of a group of people. They were walking on their horses, and they didn't make any noise to interrupt Xu Qing's thoughts, so Xu Qing didn't notice it. At this time, a person with a full meter nine of a hundred meters suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qing, standing there like a wall. Xu Qing was almost startled, took a step back and said, "Who are you?" ”

"Below is the commander of this group of soldiers who practice horse walking, please show the general!" The tall man arched his hand.

Xu Qing came to recruit soldiers today and did not go down to this bottom in advance, but Xu Qing came in an official uniform with a sword, so the gang leader was so respectful but didn't know what to do. Xu Qing settled his mind and looked at him, his heart was good, at this height, dancing with a one-and-a-half-meter-long Mo knife was simply a meat grinder.

So he said: "In the future, I will select soldiers and go to serve in the Xuanwu Gate garrison, and from then on, the grain and rice will be increased to 30%, and I will still be the emperor's personal soldiers, are you willing to go?" ”

In fact, when Xu Qing said the word Xuanwu, the tall guy's eyes lit up: "Eh, you mean that you are from Xuanwu Sect?" ”

Xu Qing nodded and said: "This general is the guard of Xuanwu Gate, and Xu Qing is also ......."

The gang leader was suddenly shocked: "When, really? ”

Xu Qing knew that this was his fan, but this was in the Shence Army, and he couldn't say his identity too obviously, so as not to be blocked here and not be able to go back. Xu Qing pretended to cough twice, lowered his voice and said, "Ahem, don't be quiet, if you are willing to go to Xuanwumen with me, I will promote you to the team." How is it? ”

A hundred birds are not as good as a bird in the forest, and a celebrity is not as good as a future in front of them, and the tall guy also lowered his voice and said: "General Xu, in fact, I have wanted to take refuge in you for a long time, but I still have a few good brothers here, you see ......."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "You go and call them to take a look, if they are not too short, I will let them come together." ”

"Gotcha!"

When he was walking just now, Xu Qing took a look, and since everyone was squatting, he didn't see any tall people. But when the gang leader called them all up, Xu Qing found that there were six people as tall as the tall gang leader. Otherwise, things gather like and people are grouped.

Xu Qing waved his hand and put them all into the selected team.

Those who were chosen found themselves more and more, and they only knew that the people standing here were very tall, but they didn't know what Xu Qing was going to do, so they complained. When the eldest grandson Wuji saw this scene in the back, he stepped forward and scolded: "What kind of complaining, let others laugh!" Let me tell you, you were selected to serve by the emperor's side, and you went to serve as a soldier under the Marquis of Xuanping that you talk about every day, what are you complaining about! ”

As the protector of the Chinese army, the prestige of the eldest grandson Wuji is no less than that of the left and right generals, and when he drank it, all the soldiers were silenced. Xu Qing is strange, the eldest grandson Wuji is already extremely benevolent and righteous if he does not hinder my selection of soldiers, and now he is helping himself, there must be a demon when things go wrong.
