In the Xuan room, Duan Jue, who was dressed in a black and brown palace robe, listened to the hadith. took over some important tasks from Zhang Rang, and in the process of reporting to Liu Yuan, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned a point, "Zhang Rang covers the sky with one hand in the black-clothed guard, and he is very powerful", although the expression is not very straightforward, but that is what he said in and out of his words.

"Remember, I asked you to go to the Black Guard, I asked you to assist Zhang Rang and be diligent in the king's affairs, not to let you go against him and make trouble." After Liu Yuan heard this, he reprimanded him coldly: "Some careful thoughts, it's better to put them away as soon as possible!" ”

"The slave understands! Slaves understand! The vest overflowed with some cold sweat, and Duan Jue's legs went weak and touched the ground.

Worried in his heart, Liu Yuan sent him into the black-clothed guard, obviously with the intention of balancing Zhang Rang, and he felt that he was catering to Liu Yuan. But at this time, Liu Yuan's attitude made him a little uncertain. Sure enough, Liu Yuan was not so easy to serve, Duan Qi was a little vigilant, and he was too eager for quick success.

Duan Jue walked out of the Xuan room unsteadily, his face was slightly pale, and his state quickly reached Zhang Rang's ears. Zhang Rang did not mention this.

......

The royal garden, Shanglin Garden, has been resident with an army since the beginning of last year. There were not many people, only about 300 people, all of them young people, the elders were only twenty-two or three, and the young ones were crowned. It doesn't matter what age you are, what matters is who these young people are.

Last year, Liu Yuan passed on the edict of the Xia Kingdom and rebuilt the Yulin Army, these Yulin Lang were composed of the sons of the assassins, Taishou, and generals of various states and counties across the country, plus the children of the nobles of Chang'an.

These people, all of them are young masters outside, and most of them are just ordinary pawns in Shanglin Yuan, who are trained every day and tired into a dog, but they dare not have the slightest complaint. Those who complained, under severe punishment, were also honest, and the punishment was merciless.

The arrogant person at the beginning was like a servant, and he did not listen to orders, and was fined 20 military rods by Yulin Zhonglang Duan Ling. Spread to the ears of the servant Gu Huai, do not talk nonsense, double. Forty canes down, if you want to go back to your home to recuperate on the soft couch, you can't do it, and you have to grit your teeth to report after lying on the barracks for two months, and you have to grit your teeth to report for duty.

These people are the elite children of Liu Xia today, no matter what their talents are, it is certain that they will enter the officialdom of Xia State in the future. or as an official, or as a general, or as a general colonel, or as a staff in Beijing, or as a herdsman. Liu Yuan attaches great importance to the second generation of these generals, and Liu Yuan's attention also represents the strict rules of Yulin.

In the independent tent, Wang Chang sat in front of the desk, studying the military book. He went to Chang'an for this Yulin Lang, and in the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year, and he has been confined to the boring Yulin military camp for a long time, and has been strictly trained, and he has indeed grown a lot, at least this mental tempering can not be given by a comfortable life outside.

Wang Chang's father, Wang Ze, is the Taishou of Hedong, as the son of the governor of a heavy county, his background in the Xia Kingdom is not low, and among the more than 300 Yulin Lang, it seems a little ordinary. After Hu Han was knighted as a noble general, he grabbed a handful.

However, when he was young, he won Liu Yuan's eyes, which can be regarded as a brilliant point.

Wang Chang is one of the earliest feather forests, and from last year to the present, there are elderly people who have been continuously sent to the place, and there are also new people who have entered the place. Wang Chang's performance is very good among the "pride of the sky", and he has the best team rate. Yu Linlang's team rate, released out, whether it is to make up for civilian duties or military vacancies, at least from the seventh grade.

"Brother Wenshu!" A young man broke into a young man from the outside, sat down beside Wang Chang's case skillfully, and drank the tea on the case.

Wang Chang looked at Guo Huai, who was a few years younger than him, with a smile on his face, and flicked his sleeves: "Boji, in a hurry, what's the matter?" ”

"General Duan has sent down the news, tomorrow Your Majesty will come to the military camp in person to assess us, and the winners can go north with Your Majesty to participate in this year's summer seedlings!" Guo Huai was full of excitement.

"Brother Wen Shu is going to do his best this time to suppress the arrogance of that conceited barbar!" Guo Huai said hatefully.

"Beji is cautious!" Wang Chang hurriedly stopped Guo Huai and looked at the tent.

Knowing that he had lost his words, Guo Huai laughed twice: "In short, these Yu Linlang are also the best talents of Brother Wenshu, and they must take a lottery this time." ”

A group of Yu Linlang was congenitally divided into two camps, Hu and Han, and under Liu Yuan's instruction, they were mixed into Wu Chengshi, and their comrades trained for a long time, and they eased up slightly. But there should be no less antagonism. Coupled with the fact that they come from Beijing or from the locality, the nobility and lowness of the family identity, the atmosphere of the entire Yulin Army is difficult to be harmonious.

The development of the Yulin Army is actually a high-speed formation of the army between the confrontations and competitions of various camps. In the boring training, the battle of will can alleviate the restlessness. As the most influential figures in the feather forest, Wang Chang and Guo Huai naturally inevitably compete with others.

"Boji, you competitive heart!" Wang Chang shook his head.

"If you should fight, you have to fight!" Guo Huai's face was firm.

Early in the morning, Liu Yuan drove to the Yulin military camp to inspect the matter. First the literary test, then the martial test.

In the afternoon, archery, horsemanship, marching formations and other assessment items were launched in front of Liu Yuan. There are some policy theories in his hand, and the proposition is very big, and the next national strategy of Daxia.

Except for a few people who can have some practical and constructive views, most of them talk in an empty way, sending troops to dominate the world. There was one person's answer that made Liu Yuan almost laugh, which probably means: a two-year truce, go east and south, destroy Zhao in two years, Ping Wei in one year, attack Hanzhong and Yizhou in two years, and set Chu and Wu in three years, so that the world can be determined in ten years.

"Duan Ling, it's quite difficult to command these noble children!" Liu Yuan smiled and asked Duan Ling, who was standing beside him.

Duan Ling didn't have much emotion on his face, he saluted Liu Yuan, and replied very calmly: "The last general will rule the law by the army, and everything will be in accordance with the rules and regulations of Yulin, how can you ever be embarrassed?" ”

"Not bad!" Liu Yuan looked at Duan Ling, who had a resolute face: "I didn't mistake you!" ”

Until sunset, after a comprehensive evaluation, there were ten people, Wang Chang and Guo Huai were among them, and the Xu Bu family had two brothers, Xu Buhua and Xu Bu Dezhen, who also belonged to the above list; There are more than 20 people above, and the rest are ordinary.

Most of the ten people who met the winners were known to Liu Yuan, and Wang Chang and Guo Huai were among them, which was a little conspicuous, especially Guo Huai, who was the youngest.

Being swept by Liu Yuan's gaze from time to time, Guo Huai was a little apprehensive and a little nervous.

"When I first met Boji, I was still a yellow-mouthed child, and now I have reached the crown!" To Guo Huai, Liu Yuan behaved extremely kindly: "Do you remember what I said to you in Bingzhou back then?" ”

"You can be a lonely general in the future!" Without waiting for Guo Huai to answer, Liu Yuan continued: "Now it seems that Lone's vision is indeed correct! ”

"Is the dagger I gave you still there?" was a little excited by Liu Yuan's words, and heard Liu Yuan ask again.

"Xiao Chen has been staying by his side, and he was detained by the guards!" There was a slight resentment in Guo Huai's tone.

"Haha!" Hearing this, Liu Yuan smiled happily.
