The number of the new army was expanded to 10,000, which was the same as the other armies of the 16th Guard, in addition to the original 1,800 people in the new military camp, the Flying Tiger Army was also incorporated into the new army this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Er had obviously planned for this, so he waited for Zhao Chen to come back from Goguryeo, and when he waited for the 'celebration banquet', he told Zhao Chen about it, and the next morning, he gave all the orders for the new army.

The expansion of an army is not just lip service, but also many things, such as military expenses, military positions, and the selection of camps, etc., aside from other things, military positions alone, from the most basic team counting, is a whole dozen.

The camp of the new army is just outside the Xuanwu Gate, just between the military courtyard and the palace, and now it is the middle of winter, and the weather is cold, so it is naturally impossible to build a military camp.

However, the camp could not be built, but this did not delay other things, the new army was expanded, and a large number of positions needed to be filled, and the most basic team positions alone were dozens of them.

In this matter, Li Er completely let go of Zhao Chen's hands and feet, and put down dozens of blank confessions, which were completely filled by Zhao Chen.

At first, Zhao Chen looked at the large stack of blanks in his hand, and was a little hesitant, but later, after figuring out what Li Er meant, he immediately became unwelcome.

This is a rare opportunity to promote his subordinates, how can he miss it in vain, whether it is in the new military camp or in the Flying Tiger Army, all those who have talent will be promoted.

Dugumou, Cao Zhenmao, Xue Rengui and others were all promoted to lieutenants of the new army, and Zhu Youliang, Lei Kedi and others were originally Zhonglang generals, but after the expansion, they were still Zhonglang generals of the new army.

After getting Li Er's blank confession, Zhao Chen was in the military courtyard and began to get busy, and for several days, dozens of confessions were consumed at once.

These days in the military courtyard, it is simply lively, and everyone knows that Zhao Chen has a hot future in his hands, and those who get the future naturally have nothing to say.

However, those who didn't get a future, when they saw Zhao Chen one by one, it was like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, their eyes were red, and their mouths were almost to the root of their ears, so they almost didn't open their mouths to ask Zhao Chen for it.

Among these people, there are people from the Flying Tiger Army, and there are also people from the new military camp, all of whom have been to Goguryeo with Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen is naturally very familiar with them.

are all good sons and daughters in Guanzhong, no one is afraid of death, on the battlefield, they dare to exchange knives with the enemy to stab the killers, in the face of these guys, Zhao Chen wants everyone to send a confession.

But no, there are only so many of these things, and a little bit has to be kept, for the people who came in later, an army of 10,000 people, who knows if there will be any more in the future, and a very powerful seedling will appear, right?

After working hard for several days, I finally got half of the positions down, and the rest of the thing is to recruit again!

Now it is winter, in addition to the necessary garrison, the other government soldiers have now returned to their respective hometowns, like other people in the Tang Dynasty, guarding their wives and children, and they are hot on the kang.

The expansion of the new army cannot all be selected from the common people, and there is a shortage of more than 6,000 people, and if we come to another place, it is estimated that when the new military camp recruits 6,000 people are filled, it will have to be next year!

Therefore, as soon as the positions were assigned, Zhao Chen immediately sent Dugumou, Cao Zhenmao, Zhu Youliang and others, and immediately rushed to the military offices in Guanzhong to select government soldiers.

Zhao Chen estimated that by the time Dugumou and others selected 6,000 people from various military offices, it would be almost after the beginning of spring!

However, just when Dugumou and others went to the military offices in Guanzhong according to Zhao Chen's orders, Xue Rengui, who was promoted to captain by Zhao Chen with Dugumou and others this time, was taking people to Hedong at this time.

Xue Rengui was born in Hedong, and it was because he inadvertently saved Hu Lu that he was taken to Chang'an by Hu Lu, and it was a whole year.

Now, Xue Rengui has been promoted to captain by Zhao Chen, and he is really soaring, so as soon as he got the captain's notice, Xue Rengui immediately took leave with Zhao Chen and led people straight to his hometown in Hedong.

It was the middle of winter, the sky was gray, and the snow that had fallen since the beginning of winter had not had time to melt, and God had fallen a few more snows, so the entire east of the river was covered with snow.

From Chang'an to Zhao Chen took leave, with five relatives, all the way non-stop, day and night on the road, this day in the afternoon, Xue Rengui and his party, finally rushed to the border of Jiangzhou, Hedong.

"Go over the mountain in front of you, and you'll be some-and-so!" In the snow field shrouded by wind and snow, Xue Rengui at this time sat on a horse, excitedly pointed to the mountain in the distance, and said to his relatives behind him without looking back.

This place is very familiar to Xue Rengui, especially the mountain in his sight at this moment, when he didn't leave here, he stood there countless times, looking forward to getting out of here.

The Xue clan in Hedong is a wealthy family in Hedong, undefeated after several dynasties, even in the Tang Dynasty, the Xue clan is still in Hedong and has an unshakable status, but this does not include Xue Rengui.

Because, Xue Rengui's branch was completely defeated as early as Xue Rengui's father!

If it weren't for this, Xue Rengui would not have been able to, because of Hu Lu's words, he left his mother and ran to Guanzhong alone!

And it is precisely because there is still an old mother at home that Xue Rengui is in Zhao Chen, and after he was just promoted to lieutenant, he couldn't wait to ask Zhao Chen for leave and rushed back to Hedong with people.

Back then, Xue Rengui's father was just an official who did Xiangcheng Zanzhi, that is, a master, but now, Xue Rengui is already a school captain with a bright future, and when he comes back this time, he can be regarded as returning to his hometown.

"In this way, I think I will be able to eat a hot meal at the Colonel's house before evening!" Xue Rengui's words fell, and a personal entourage behind him immediately looked at the mountain in his sight, and joked with a smile at Xue Rengui's back.

"That's nature!" Hearing the words of the entourage, Xue Rengui, who was originally looking in front of him, immediately turned his head, looked at the retinue who was talking behind him, and said with a hearty smile: "If you are sleeping in the open on this road, a certain family promises you, when you get home later, a certain family will slaughter a fat sheep for you!" ”

"This dare is good!" Just as Xue Rengui said, this way came, because Xue Rengui was in a hurry, it was indeed a bit of a meal and sleeping, and in the middle of winter, the weather was cold, and he really suffered a lot.

Therefore, the five relatives behind him, as soon as they heard Xue Rengui say that they could eat fat sheep at night, the people who were originally frozen immediately came to their senses and shouted at Xue Rengui.

"Let's go!" Seeing that he was about to arrive home, Xue Rengui could still delay there, and he wished that he would be able to see his mother at home in the next moment, so as soon as he heard the words of his relatives behind him, he immediately grabbed the horse's belly, shouted, and took the lead in galloping in the snow.

"Captain, someone!" The group was galloping in the snow, but just as they were about to reach the mountain, they saw a figure in front of them in the distance, coming in their direction.

"It's important to hurry, don't take care of it!" For Xue Rengui at this time, getting home as soon as possible is the first priority, so let alone the appearance of a figure, it is the appearance of a ghost, Xue Rengui probably doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

It's just that what is a little surprising is that the person who just appeared in their sight originally seemed to be in a hurry, but when he saw their group appear, for some reason, he suddenly turned back and ran quickly towards the road he had just come.

"That thief, sneaky!" When he saw this person before, Xue Rengui didn't feel anything, however, as soon as he saw this person suddenly seeing them and running back again, Xue Rengui's eyebrows suddenly froze, and he scolded in his mouth, and immediately chased after him.

"It's... Is it Da Lang? However, it was good that Xue Rengui didn't speak, and when he spoke, the person who was originally panicking and rushing forward suddenly stopped, looked at Xue Rengui, who was rushing to catch up behind him, and stammered and asked.

“… Saburo? Hearing the stammering words of the person in front of him, Xue Rengui, who was originally sitting down with his eyebrows twisted and chasing after him, immediately opened his mouth slightly, looked at the person in front of him in surprise, and exclaimed hesitantly.

"Da Lang, you can be regarded as back!" Just between the two of them asking and answering, the person in front of him who was called by Xue Rengui to be San Lang stood there all of a sudden, looked at Xue Rengui who was following him, and said with some grievances on the spot.

It turned out that this person was none other than a servant in Xue Rengui's family, who had grown up with Xue Rengui since he was a child, and although the two were the main servants, they were more like brothers.

This time, Xue Rengui left his mother and went to Chang'an alone, just because he had this San Lang to take care of him at home!

"How could San Lang say that, is there something going on at home?" confirmed the person in front of him, it was San Lang who stayed at home, and listened to San Lang's obviously wronged words, combined with San Lang's actions just now, Xue Rengui's heart suddenly chuckled, looked at San Lang in front of him, and asked tentatively.

"It's not just that something happened!" The young man who was called to be San Lang, facing Xue Rengui at this time, suddenly looked at Xue Rengui as if he was looking forward to a savior, and said aggrievedly: "If Da Lang comes back later, I'm afraid that even the old lady won't be able to see him!" ”

"What's wrong with my mother?" As soon as he heard that it was his wife, Xue Rengui could still stay calm, and the person who was originally on the horse, after hearing San Lang's words, immediately flew off the horse, stared at San Lang with a terrifying gaze, and asked in a condensed voice.

"It's not all Xue Renqing, since Da Lang left home, he has changed his way to make things difficult for our family!" Seeing that Xue Rengui's eyes were scary, San Lang didn't dare to hide it, and said in a fifteen-ten: "After coming and going, the old lady became angry, and now she is still lying on the couch..."

"Damn Xue Renqing!" Hearing that this cousin of his own was making trouble again, Xue Rengui suddenly gritted his teeth in anger, and then looked at San Lang in front of him and asked, "My mother is sick, why didn't you tell me earlier, why didn't you find a doctor to treat my mother?" ”

“… Da Lang, it's hard to say, you'll know when you go back to see the old lady! Hearing Xue Rengui's repeated questioning, San Lang in front of him suddenly had red circles in his eyes, sniffed hard at Xue Rengui, and said aggrievedly.

"Okay, then go back!" After all, this place is outside, and I can't say a word or two, hearing San Lang's words, Xue Rengui immediately turned over on the horse, dragged San Lang on the ground to the horse, said to the relatives behind him, and took the lead in the direction of home, galloping away.
