Chapter 212: Actual combat is coming

Li Duozuo didn't say much, and said to Xue Shao and the others: "From today on, Chengyu will go to Xunyifu Yue Cavalry Regiment, and Niu Ben will go to Xunyifu Modao Regiment." ”

In the military system of the Tang Dynasty, two teams are one brigade and two brigades are one regiment. The regiment is an important grass-roots unit in the military establishment, which is equivalent to a company in the modern army. A regiment of the Tang army had 200 people, and the highest officer was a captain.

Niu Ben heard Li Duozuo's words and laughed on the spot, "General, am I going to become a soldier of the Three Guards and Five Mansions?" ”

"You want to be beautiful!" Li Duozuo unceremoniously poured a bucket of cold water on him, "It's just that you are going to eat, sleep and train with them, and go to the battlefield to fight together." But your guard is still a normal recruit. Unless you can make a meritorious record, you can officially turn into a military officer! - Chengyu, you are the same! ”

"Yes." Xue Shao smiled and didn't say much.

"Eat together, this is good!" Niu Ben smirked and laughed happily, "I heard that the Yifu soldiers have meat for every meal!" ”

"It seems that Team Zhao is right, you are a stupid bear who is greedy for eating and drinking!" Li Duozuo scolded angrily.

Niu Ben was scolded happily, and he smirked vigorously.

"Come on, take this stupid bear away for me and throw it to the Xun Yifu Mo Knife Regiment!" Li Duozuo ordered.

Immediately, a lieutenant officer came in and took Niu Ben away.

Niu Ben shouted as he walked, "Chengyu, when you arrive at Xunyifu, remember to come to me!" ”

Xue Shao raised his fist at him, indicating that he must be.

The cow ran away, and Li Duozuo repulsed the scribes on the left and right and pulled the military tent, then invited Xue Shao to sit down and personally poured him a glass of dragon paste fruit wine that only high-ranking officers could drink.

Xue Shao waved his hand, "If you don't drink this, just the tea." ”

Li Duozuo smiled, "Could it be disgust? ”

"How can I be a pawn who is qualified to dislike it?" Xue Shao smiled, "I'm afraid that I can drink it today, but I won't have to drink it in the future, the taste of thinking about it day and night is too unbearable." You don't know how uncomfortable my first few days in the barracks were, and I wanted to jump on someone else and bite two pieces of meat to eat! ”

Li Duozuo smiled and changed a cup of tea for Xue Shao, and said, "Now Xue Gongzi must be very nostalgic for Chang'an's brocade clothes and jade food and wind and snow, right?" ”

"It's a lie to say that you don't miss it, who doesn't want to live a good life?" Xue Shao drank a whole cup of tea, exhaled, and said, "But this month's hardship has really not been in vain, I have learned a lot." ”

"That's good." Li Duozuo sat down next to Xue Shao and said, "Pei Gonghui's eyes are like torches, and he really didn't see the wrong person. Among the more than 20,000 recruits, Xue Gongzi stood out as the most outstanding one, and this is all the result of your own efforts. ”

Xue Shao smiled and said with interest: "I'm curious, General Li is young, how many years has he been in the army?" ”

Li Duozuo smiled and said: "Li was originally a native of Jin, and his father was a tribal leader, and a few years ago, his father led his clan to join the Tang Dynasty, and he was given the surname of the country. Li was pushed on horseback by his father when he was eight years old, and at the age of thirteen, he followed his father to start fighting and killing people for the first time, and he is twenty-eight this year. ”

"A fifteen-year veteran?" Xue Shao was a little surprised, "War-filled general, no wonder Pei Gong has so much respect and trust in you." ”

Li Duozuo smiled, "I can't do it, after all, I read too little and my brain is too stupid." Pei Gong even asked me to study with the demon girl, which made Li very embarrassed! ”

Xue Shaoha smiled, "There are many things that cannot be learned from books. At only twenty-eight years old, he has already been a fifteen-year veteran on the battlefield, and General Li has a bright future! ”

"Don't hope, don't count!" Li Duozuo said with a smile, "It's still a smart reader like Xue Gongzi who has a future." What you have learned in this month is worth what Li has earned in fifteen years! ”

Xue Shao smiled, in fact, what Li Duozuo wanted to say more was that I could be worthy of his fifteen years of battle and climbing just by virtue of my background.

"Xue Gongzi, do you know why I pressed the army in the state and didn't move?" Li Duozuo said suddenly.

Xue Shao frowned, "Isn't it because of rest?" ”

"That's not the main reason. The march on the 17th was nothing at all. Back then, it was normal to follow Pei Gong on an expedition in the Western Regions, and it was normal to walk for two or three months in a row. Li Duozuo said, "Ahead, there is news of defeat again." Cao Huaishun, the governor of Shuozhou, led his troops to attack, and encountered Ashdwin Fu outside the Great Wall Pass, and was defeated in a battle, with numerous casualties. I am afraid that the new army and the grain and grass baggage team led by me will come forward without authorization, and the morale will be affected when they hear the news of the defeat, or they will be robbed of the grain and grass by the main Turkic force to break through Shuozhou and enter the Great Wall. ”

"Cao Huaishun is defeated again?" Xue Shao was shocked, "I heard the news of the defeat of Li Wenjun, the head of the Dingxiang Road March, and Cao Huaishun, the governor of Gyeongju, in Chang'an. ”

"yes!" Li Duozuo's thick eyebrows tightened, and said: "After Cao Huaishun's army defeated Gyeongju, he returned to the court, and the imperial court originally wanted to punish him, but Pei Gong interceded, saying that it was too demoralizing to kill the border general when he was about to fight, and he could be allowed to make meritorious contributions." So the imperial court used him as the head of the Shuofang Road march to guard Shuozhou, and Li Wenjian, the head of the Dingxiang Road march in Yunzhou, to guard the north. However, Cao Huaishun was also too eager to make meritorious contributions, and he heard the news from several herdsmen that Ashdwin Fu was in the vicinity of Heisha, and there were not many soldiers and horses accompanying him. He actually believed it, and rushed away with his men and horses, wanting to have a thief and capture Wang Yixue before shame to justify his name. As a result, he fell into the siege of Ashwin, suffered numerous casualties in the first battle, and finally paid a bribe to Ashwinfu and promised a peace alliance to escape. Ashdwin Fu ignored any covenant, and took advantage of his return to the division without defense, and killed him for a while, and easily washed the two border counties of Shuozhou and the herdsman tribe of the Han people. ”

"Losing teachers one after another, humiliating the country and the people, Cao Huaishun may not have the day to turn over." Xue Shao shook his head and sighed, as the main general, he was eager for quick success and quick profit, and he couldn't distinguish between false and practical soldiers, killing countless hot-blooded men, and also making the people in the states and counties in the rear deeply poisonous!

"Cao Huaishun has been secretly taken to Bingzhou and put in a cage, and will be taken to Chang'an for punishment in the near future." Li Duozuo's eyebrows furrowed and said, "Now the situation ahead is becoming more and more critical. Li Wenxian of Yunzhou and Cao Huaishun of Shuozhou were originally each other's horns to jointly defend the front line of the Great Wall, but now Cao Huaishun's army has been exhausted, and the surrounding area has also been looted by the Turks, and the soldiers and civilians died tragically in Yunzhou is in danger, and even the annexation of the state is directly facing the threat of the Turks. The embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and the entire northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty suddenly became full of holes and could not be prevented. Cao Huaishun's defeat is really a disaster for the country and the people! ”

Xue Shao wrung his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then said, "In that case, why doesn't General Li transfer the elite to fill the vacancy in Shuozhou's defense?" ”

"I had this idea, but I didn't dare to implement it easily." Li Duozuo said, "First of all, although I have 30,000 soldiers and horses, there are only 5,000 soldiers who can fight, and the rest are heavy soldiers with grain and grass, or new troops who have not fought in battle formations and are not familiar with training. If I take the whole army to kill Benshuozhou, I will undoubtedly go to send heads, grain and grass to the Turks. If I had only taken 5,000 soldiers and horses, the 20,000-odd new troops behind me might be in chaos or looted at any time. If I go, I may be able to temporarily cover the temporary vacancy in defense, but Shuozhou is almost an empty city, and the supply of my 5,000 men will be a big problem. Moreover, the surrounding area of Shuozhou had just been baptized by the Turks, and some of Cao Huaishun's remnants of his soldiers had fled in all directions. The enemy situation in Shuozhou is unknown, and the 5,000 elite soldiers do not dare to trade in easily, otherwise it may be a sheep into the tiger's mouth. ”

"General Li is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield and is thoughtful." Xue Shao thought for a moment and said, "Despite this, you can't sit idly by here. Why didn't General Li send a small team of men and horses to Shuozhou to investigate first, or maybe he could collect the remnants of Cao Huaishun's troops to find out the enemy's situation and pacify the people? Isn't this what you do to protect the territory and the people for the generals? ”

"Well said." Li Duozuo's eyes lit up, "That's why I'm looking for you and Niu to run today." ”

Xue Shao suddenly realized, "What does General Li mean, to send the people of the Xun Mansion to Shuozhou to investigate?" ”

"That's right. First of all, I want to state that this is not what Pei Gong meant, it is exactly what I meant. Li Duozuo said, "Besides, I dare to conclude that this trip is very dangerous, and you can refuse it completely." ”

Xue Shao stood up, "I'm going to decide!" ”

"Actually, I would prefer you to refuse. Because, if you go the slightest bit out of the pool, I can't afford it. Li Duozuo also stood up, his eyebrows tightened, "Yesterday, a pre-military meeting was held, and the generals unanimously passed my resolution and agreed to send a group of people to Shuozhou to investigate. At the same time, it was suggested that a few outstanding recruits could be sent to participate in it, which could be regarded as a practical training. On the spot, many people jointly recommended Chengyu and Niu Ben, the two most outstanding recruits. As soon as I heard the name of Chengyu, it was difficult to ride a tiger at that time. ”

"Now I'll write a military order, if something really happens to me, no one will blame you!" Xue Shao smiled, "If you don't give me such a precious opportunity, I will definitely turn my face with you when I turn around!" ”

"Alas!" Li Duozuo sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "I said, why did you get under my command, doesn't this make me not a human being?" ”

"General Li, borrow pen and ink quickly!"

On the same day, Xue Shao and Niu Ben rolled up the bunk and left the recruit regiment together and went to Xunyifu.

The recruits' comrades-in-arms were as reluctant to say goodbye to their loved ones who had traveled far away, and some of them shed tears. After a month of sharing weal and woe, we have formed a very deep friendship with each other.

Xue Shao and Niu ran to the military camp of Xun Yifu, all of them had a different feeling.

To use an inappropriate analogy, if the recruit regiment is a group of Chinese pastoral dogs who are happy in suffering, then here is a group of wild wolves with fangs and licking blood who dare to fight tigers.

Xue Shao's first feeling when he came here was like returning to the special base in his previous life.

Evil spirit!

Bold and sinister!

Everyone here has a suffocating suffocating aura in everyone's body because of murder and blood!.
