The border army is weak and inseparable from the Tang military system.

After the Tang Dynasty established itself in Guanzhong, it adopted the national policy military system of fighting the world in Guanzhong, and established the Twelve Military Offices in the Qinchuan generation in Guanzhong, which is the well-known Guanzhong Twelve Army. The Tang Dynasty expedition must transfer the 12th Army in Guanzhong, and it can almost be said that the vast majority of the entire Tang Dynasty was defeated by the 12th Army, and the strength of the 12th Army in Guanzhong can directly represent the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty.

Because the 12th Army of Guanzhong was too strong, the development of the Tang Army was also towards the 12th Army of Guanzhong. All excellent equipment first satisfies the 12th Army of Guanzhong, and if there is a reward, it will be given to the 12th Army of Guanzhong first, and there will be glory for the 12th Army of Guanzhong.

The 12th Army of Guanzhong became stronger and stronger with the full support of the imperial court, and the "illegitimate children" of the border army were unbalanced and lost their fighting spirit. It also caused the Turkic army to come, the border army shrank and protected the main towns from the Turks, and the wolf-like 12th Army of Guanzhong rushed to the front line under the deployment of Li Yuan and his son.

In the long run, a vicious circle of over-reliance on the 12th Army will be formed.

There was such a thing: Li Yuan felt that the world was decided, and there was no need for the 12th Army in Guanzhong to exist, so he abolished the establishment of the 12th Army. As a result, the Turkic army attacked, and the Tang army was defeated, so that the soldiers were terrified, and the three armies were terrified and did not dare to fight. Li Shimin had to personally lead the Xuanjia Army to sweep the formation, and led the 100 people to call out in front of the Turkic army of 50,000 to boost morale, which forced the Turkic army back.

Li Yuan also restored the establishment of the Twelfth Army after this war, which shows the dependence of the Tang Dynasty on the Twelfth Army in Guanzhong. This is also the reason why the border soldiers are as weak as sheep.

After listening to Luo Tong's analysis, everyone suddenly understood.

Duan Decao admired: "The governor is right, the Twelfth Army is too strong, so that the limelight of the border army has been robbed, this army is uncertain, the people are absent, and it has become today's unmotivated border army after a long time." ”

Li Yesi continued: "They feel that no matter how hard they try, their majesty who is far away in the court will not be able to see it, and they feel that the civil and military forces in the court will focus on the twelve armies and ignore their existence. The more they think like this, the less satisfactory they become. The worse the performance, the less you will get the treatment and glory of a soldier. As a result, he directly degenerated into today's border army, not knowing how to move forward, not thinking of enterprising, and waiting for death. ”

"If this continues, the border army will be abolished! The border army was abolished, and the world was uneasy. Luo Tong pondered for a moment and said, "If you know the source of the disease, you can prescribe the right medicine." Anyway, first pull the military discipline up for me and let them look like soldiers. After that, starting from the most basic physical training, the method is to use the same set in the training manual, even if it is a group of pigs, we have to cut off their fat and paste tiger hair. As for them to regain their military glory, I have some ideas on that. But now is not the time, you pay attention. I believe that there are still materials to be made in all the border armies, and there are still good soldiers who are not willing to join the same stream, and it is of great use to find them and take special care of me. ”

Everyone said in a deep voice: "The last general is ordered!" ”

"Honestly, I have a few ways to turn these sheep and rabbits into wolves and tigers. But ......" Luo Tong glanced around at these happy generals and said, "I can't tell you, you have to learn to find problems and solve them, it doesn't matter if you're wrong, it's a big deal to start over." Rely on others for everything, the current frontier army is the future of you! I won't say how to solve the problem, but you can start with the words 'fame, hatred, and honor'! As long as you focus on the core of 'fame, hatred, and honor', you can't go wrong. When I first trained the Three Thousand Mo Sword Army, I was even less optimistic than now, you all carefully recall and recall, how did I stimulate the fighting spirit of the Mo Sword Army? What does each of my methods do? These are all methods, although they may not be suitable for the border army, but they are always changing! You can summarize a set of training methods suitable for the border army, and as long as they are applicable, it will be valuable knowledge that belongs to you. ”

"I don't ask how you practice, how you communicate, I just want the result! Give you three months, three months I will accept the results, and I will have the final say if I am not satisfied. You can't do such a simple thing, so go back to Chang'an by yourself! ”

Luo Tong patted Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chuliang on the shoulders and said, "Huaiyu and Chu Liang, we are brothers who grew up together, and we will be punished together when we grow up together!" But this time, I can't help you. There is only encouragement to be a brother. ”

Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chuliang only felt that their shoulders were as heavy as a thousand catties, and their eyes were also solemn and firm.

They can have today, it has nothing to do with their ability, it is all because Luo Tong paved the road, and anyone can have today's status.

They are under a lot of pressure, and Luo Tong, who is the head of the three states, is even more stressed.

Now Luo Tong needs them, and each tells himself that he must not live up to the high expectations.

The two of them hugged their fists and retreated.

Luo Tong didn't have any worries about them, Qin Huaiyu was calm, wise and brave, and had the talent of a famous general. Cheng Chuliang is wise and foolish, and after getting along for many years, he also knows that he is an object that can be trusted.

But the two of them are the same as him, their age is a hard injury, and they have to take charge of 20,000 soldiers independently before they are twenty, and these 20,000 soldiers are more difficult to deal with than new soldiers!

However, they have been training with Luo Tong for more than half a year, and they have experience in this area! That's why he didn't think about intervening directly and letting them toss themselves.

This does not attempt to fall and will never walk.

Waiting for Li Yesi, Fang Yiai, Du He, and Wang Xuance to receive the order, they left one by one with solemn expressions.

Duan Decao couldn't help but say, "Dudu, isn't it too harsh?" He felt that Luo Tong was a little ruthless!

Luo Daodao: "We, the children of the eunuchs, can steal a high position without much effort, which is a very shameful thing, if we steal a high position and don't know how to cherish it and don't want to make progress, it will be even more bastard." I can accept making mistakes, but I can't accept not wanting to improve. I can't control others, but in my case, the Zhonglang General must have the ability of the Zhonglang General, and the long history must have the ability of the Long History. ”

"It is a blessing for the world that the governor is dedicated to the public!" Duan Decao took a deep breath, looking at Luo Tong's gaze full of admiration, the person who could come up with such an amazing anti-corruption method was really extraordinary.

Luo Tong smiled and said suddenly: "Lord Duan, my eldest Wang Xuance here is only twenty-three this year, I want you to switch places with Lord Meng and come to Gyeongju to help me, what do you think?" ”

Duan Decao understood that Luo Tong was in the picture of his military experience, and hoped that he would go to Gyeongju to sit for him, and he was deeply moved by Luo Tong's dependence, but considering his body, he couldn't help but sigh melancholy: "The governor is good, the old man should not refuse, if it was two years earlier, the old man should definitely serve under the governor." Now it's not done, the old man has four out of sixty, this body is getting worse, some time ago he escaped from death, I'm afraid this old bone won't be able to last this year. Before the governor took office, the old man had already submitted his resignation, and the approval should have arrived in a few days. ”

Luo Tong asked, "Is there any disease that the old man has?" ”

"Not sick!" Duan Decao shook his head, saw Luo Tong's stunned face, and explained: "The old man was born in the turbulent season, and he did the work of a military general as a literati, and the scars on his body are innumerable. ”

He said it easily, but Luo Tong was in awe, and bowed deeply: "Maybe the old man is not majestic, but your blood has created a glorious Tang Dynasty, and your achievements for the Tang Dynasty will never be forgotten by future generations. ”

Duan Decao's body shook and lost his mind slightly. remembered the situation when he was born and died, and then laughed: "The governor is right! The old man has tried his best, but now he is old, but he is worthy of this life and the world, what regrets do he have. After all, this world needs you young people to protect it. Alas, the old man grew up in the north, and he has seen a lot of Turkic evil deeds, and his wish in life is to assist Ming Jun to destroy the Turks. ”

Duan Decao is very open-minded, not sad, as a person who has fought on the battlefield, he has a little light view of birth, old age, sickness and death.

Luo Tong was very shocked when he heard it, whether he wanted Lu You's incident to happen next to him, he didn't know if he would be so open-minded at Duan Decao's age: "Boss, I know how to heal, can you let me see?" ”

Duan Decao said with a smile: "Everyone in the world knows that the governor is versatile, but I never thought that even the medical skills would be able. As he spoke, he handed his wrist over.

Duan Decao was pitifully thin, Luo Tong saw some clues at the beginning, and after careful diagnosis and treatment, he found that his situation was the same as Qin Qiong, but he asked Qin Qiong to be diagnosed and treated by the Taiyi eight years ago, at that time Qin Qiong was young and strong and recovered quickly, and he had been cured many years ago, but Duan Decao was old and weak, and he was already powerless, so he just prescribed a prescription for him to recuperate! Feeling something, he wrote a picture and gave it to Duan Decao, the content of which was an adaptation of "Shi'er".

"Thank you, Governor! It simply went to the old man's heart. Duan Decao couldn't put it down and took the words given to him by Luo Tong, and a trace of flattery and joy flashed in his eyes.

Since Luo Tong gave Li Jing the song "...... However, it spread that the Dragon City Flying General did not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain, and Li Jing won the name of "Flying General" and was worshiped by people all over the world. Once this "Shi'er" is out, his morality and iron bones, courage and loyalty will be passed down through the ages.

Luo Tong smiled: "It's just a matter of doing it!" Compared with the boss's dedication, the younger generation is really ashamed. ”

The ancients have a good name, this Luo Tong knows very well, and he also knows that this poem will be passed down through the ages, Duan Decao will be passed down through the ages, but in fact, this is also what he deserves, he was born for the country and the people, is he a hero of the Tang Dynasty, a hero of the nation, isn't it worth eulogizing?

Duan Decao's situation was very serious, and there was a possibility of sudden death at any time, and seeing that his resignation was very strong, Luo Tong couldn't bear it, so he wrote a Taoist chapter and explained Duan Decao's situation to Li Shimin.

Before Duan Decao said goodbye, he handed Luo Tong a thick book, which was full of his valuable experience and the general situation of Yanzhou, and every word was a combination of the old man's hard work, which could not only help Luo Tong get to Yanzhou in the shortest possible time, but also help him do extraordinary things.
