On the morning of this day, Tong Guan led an army of 100,000 to arrive in Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, which was the official place of his former confidant Jiang Dadao, so Tong Guan ordered the army to be stationed on the spot, rest for a day, and continue to go north the next day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although Tong Guan was promoted by Xiangguo Cai Jing, the contradiction between the two has a long history, the separation of the military and government in the Great Song Dynasty, the army is not involved in politics, and the government does not interfere with the army, but Tong Guan is not an ordinary military minister, he is an internal servant beside the Son of Heaven, and what he does often represents the will of the Son of Heaven.

Tong Guan used this special status to repeatedly bypass the imperial court and ask the Son of Heaven to directly appoint magistrates, which angered Xiangguo Cai Jing, but Cai Jing had no choice but to watch him appoint one magistrate after another, and gradually formed a powerful local force.

However, Tong Guan's forces are mainly in Shaanxi Road and Hedong Road, and the two roads in Hebei are not deeply involved, and only three counties have been appointed, and Jiang Dadao of Tangyin Zhixian County is one of them.

In the barracks, Tong Guan was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army drinking tea unhurriedly, and at this time, there was a report from the pro-soldiers outside the tent, "Jiang Zhixian asks to see!" ”

Tong Guan smiled slightly, "Let him in!" ”

After a while, Jiang Dadao walked into the big tent quickly, and cried loudly at Tong Guan's feet, Tong Guan was angry and funny, "You little monkey saw that Ben Shuai didn't give a big gift, but he started crying, did you think I was too thin to make you the magistrate of the county?" ”

Jiang Dadao wiped away his tears and choked up: "The child has missed Dashuai for three years, and when he finally saw it today, he couldn't help crying." ”

Jiang Dadao has been with Tong Guan for ten years, and has always been his left and right personal soldiers, if it weren't for Tong Guan who thought he was too rude, he would have recognized him as his godson and let him enter the palace.

However, seeing his former cronies, Tong Guan was in a good mood, so he asked with a smile: "Tell me, what achievements have you made after being the county magistrate for three years?" ”

Jiang Dadao's heart jumped suddenly, he didn't expect the handsome man to ask him about his political achievements as soon as they met, was he in a hurry to promote himself?

He was already prepared in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "The child adheres to the instructions of the marshal to serve as the county governor of Tangyin, changing the weak literary style of Tangyin, the child considers, changing the atmosphere must start from the child, the child will implement martial arts in the primary schools, and set up a martial arts department in the county school, the child has spent three years, has gradually reversed the weak spirit of the young scholars in Tangyin, so that they can be literate and martial, and the child also set up an army of scholars in the county school. ”

Jiang Dadao's words did speak to Tong Guan's heart, Tong Guan has been in charge of the army for many years, and if he wants to use the army to get involved in politics, then there must be useful talents in his hands, but his henchmen and generals are all big and coarse.

Tong Guan considered making a fuss in martial arts, cultivating a group of good talents who are both civil and military, and becoming his power bargaining chips.

Otherwise, what kind of high-ranking official can a crude commodity like Jiang Dadao be? It will only be a waste of its own resources.

Tong Guan suddenly became interested in this army of scholars, so he smiled and said: "Where is this army of scholars, I want to take a look." ”

Jiang Dadao was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "They are outside the camp, please review the marshal!" ”

．．．．．．．．

At this time, a strange army came from outside the Song army camp, so that the Song army sentries looked at them curiously, and saw that this army was about 100 people, wearing fine vermilion lacquer mountain armor and phoenix wings, looking majestic, and the team was very neat.

There were actually more than a dozen cavalrymen in front of the team, holding spears in their hands and swords at their waists, but they also had a bit of the spirit of the Tianlong Forbidden Army.

But soon the sentries found out that the soldiers were actually a group of teenage children, and the sentries laughed at them.

"Hey! Your mother is not here, you want to drink milk and go home! ”

"Are you coming to me? I seem to have a long-lost son in Tangyin County, call me Daddy! ”

The soldiers teased the student army with foul language and laughed uncontrollably.

However, the hundred student soldiers were not affected by them, and they were all looking at this vast camp with curiosity, they had never seen a real military camp since they had grown so big.

I saw that the big tents were next to each other, stretching to more than ten miles away, several times larger than their Tangyin county seat, making people unable to imagine how spectacular the 100,000 troops would be.

Li Yanqing is also curious to look at this camp, although he doesn't know much about the rules of camping, but he will observe from some common sense, he found that the camp is extremely well defended, although the Song army was only stationed for one day, but still planted the camp fence, densely surrounded the camp, outside the camp also dug trenches and antlers, and the periphery was also deployed with strict patrols, they were checked three times along the way, and were closely followed and monitored by fifty cavalry.

Li Yanqing was quite contemptuous of Tong Guan in history, an old eunuch, who controlled the military power of the Great Song Dynasty for 20 years by virtue of being favored by the Son of Heaven, and became one of the six thieves in the late Song Dynasty.

But now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he has found that Tong Guan is not as incompetent as he thought, and the march and battle are very rigorous, and even the temporary garrison in the rear of Xiangzhou must be well defended and meticulous, which shows that this person really has some talent.

The quality of the soldiers is very low, but this is also the Song army's consistent disease, since the Tanyuan Alliance, the Song and Liao countries have not had any major wars, although there are often wars with the Western Xia, but it is only the northwest border army fighting, basically has nothing to do with the forbidden army in the capital, raising a hundred years of idle soldiers, can you expect these armies to be strict military discipline?

At this time, Zhou Dong urged the horse to the front of the team, he glanced coldly at the soldiers in the camp fence, hundreds of soldiers were suddenly silent, these forbidden soldiers all knew Zhou Dong and were quite afraid of him.

Not long after, the camp gate opened, and a tooth gate general rushed over, he hugged his fist at Zhou Tong and said: "Sect head Zhou, the captain invites the soldiers to enter the camp!" ”

Zhou Tong nodded, turned around and shouted: "The barracks are not allowed to run horses, all cavalry dismount!" ”

The twelve soldiers jumped off their horses in unison, and the surrounding Song soldiers were stunned, and suddenly burst into applause, they found that the training of these student soldiers was no less than theirs, and the foul language completely disappeared from their mouths.

The cavalry led the horses in front, the infantry in the rear, the cavalry in a row of three, the infantry in a row of five, and a hundred soldiers marched neatly towards the barracks.

.........

A wooden platform has been built on the south side of the temporary school yard of the camp, and the soldiers have arranged more than 20 seats, except for the commander Tong Guan, the others are senior generals in the army, but Jiang Dadao of Tangyin Zhixian County has no seats, he can only squat next to the commander.

The generals began to walk up to the wooden platform one after another to sit down, at this time, the coach Tong Guan walked on the wooden platform surrounded by several personal soldiers, all the generals got up and saluted, Tong Guan smiled and waved his hand, "Let's take a look at the military formation drill of the Tangyin scholars today, everyone relax, just take a break!" ”

He walked to the middle of the first row, where a large tiger skin chair was placed, Tong Guan sat down, and Jiang Dadao immediately squatted at his feet with interest, like a big dog squatting beside his master.

"Time is limited, let's get started!"

Tong Guan gave a faint order, and a herald rushed away, shouting loudly from afar: "Begin!" ”

The spear army that came out first, a total of eighty-eight soldiers, with spears in hand, ran in order, shouting loudly as they ran, and soon they formed a military formation and began to wave their spears.

Tong Guan looked at it for a moment and smiled: "It's a little interesting, I've been practicing for a month!" ”

Jiang Zhixian became red, and the words of the captain undoubtedly pierced the illusion of establishing a soldier army, which was just a temporarily formed performance army.

He didn't know how to explain, he couldn't say a word for a long time, but Tong Guan was not angry, he nodded and praised: "Although it lacks a little murderous energy, it is quite neat, and it is not bad to be able to practice like this in a month, what is below?" ”

He soon lost interest in the infantry spear formation, and Jiang Dadao hurriedly said: "There is also a cavalry drill!" ”

Tong Guan shook his head, he was not interested in the cavalry queue of the students, so he asked, "Is there any such performance as archery?" ”

"Yes! Yes! ”

Jiang Dadao hurriedly introduced: "The third item is the infantry bow, the fourth item is the waist crossbow, and the fifth item is the cavalry archery. ”

"Huh! There's actually mounted archery, which is a bit interesting, so let's start with the bow of the foot! ”

Tong Guan likes to watch archery, he often holds soldier archery competitions in the army, archery masters are often promoted, the late Northern Song Dynasty army archery style is very popular, to a large extent related to Tong Guan, the highest army commander's personal preferences.

Zhou Tong knew his hobby, so he arranged three archery events in a row, the first of which was Wang Gui and Tang Huai's foot shooting.

The soldiers rested in an open space surrounded by drapery, and the infantry soldiers sat on the ground with their heads hung down, and according to the steps, they had to practice three sets of spear formations, but the first set of spear formations was driven back before halfway through, which was really frustrating.

Eight cavalry men were already in formation, and they performed a cavalry spear formation, and at the first order, they rushed out.

At this moment, a herald rushed in and shouted, "Bow on! ”

Everyone was stunned, and Zhou Tong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "There are still cavalry formations that have not come out." ”

The soldier waved his hand impatiently, "The cavalry formation has been canceled, hurry up with the bow, don't waste time!" ”

Everyone was in an uproar, they practiced hard for a month, and they didn't even show their faces, so they were canceled? It's not as good as the infantry formation, at least they still go up.

Wang Gui and Tang Huai stood up and looked at Zhou Tong nervously, Zhou Tong understood that Tong Guan might be uninterested, and hurriedly urged the two, "Go!" Don't be nervous, just follow your usual training for archery. ”

The archery arena was set up under the stands, the target was 100 paces away, and the two archers turned their backs to the high-ranking officials on the stage, and according to the regulations, they each shot five arrows.

Wang Gui and Tang Huai's arrows are like meteors, a month of hard training was not in vain, the five arrows hit the bull's-eye, causing a round of applause on the stage, Tong Guan nodded reluctantly, it's okay, but nothing brilliant, he was suddenly interested, yawned and said: "Look at it!" I still have military affairs to deal with. ”

He got up and left, Jiang Dadao was anxious, and hurriedly caught up with two steps: "Dashuai, there is also mounted archery, the archer is Jinke Xie Yuan!"

Tong Guan stopped all of a sudden, and glanced back at Jiang Dadao, "What did you just say?" ”

"There are also scholars riding archery, and the archers are the first names in Xiangzhou's liberation test this year."

Tong Guan thought it was Wuju Xie Yuan at first, but later realized that it was actually Xie Yuan, he was immediately interested, and sat back in his seat and said with a smile: "Then go directly to the horse and shoot!" ”

Jiang Dadao secretly wiped his cold sweat, and secretly called it a fluke in his heart, if he hadn't prepared the last killer move, he would have been sad today.

In the curtain, the herald shouted: "The captain has an order, go directly to the cavalry and shoot!" ”
