"The luck of this Li family's concubine is really good, and he actually found such a good seedling." Tang Shun on the side muttered quietly, this is actually what Tang Jian wanted to say.

However, when they looked at the next recruit, they saw that the man was bending his bow and shooting arrows, and the arrows were not missing, and each arrow was firmly on the red heart of the target.

When they looked at a recruit who was driving piles, they saw that the soldier was fast and powerful, and each blow would cause the piles to drop sawdust, a level that only a few generals had.

This soldier is none other than Zhou An, who is close to Li Yin. He had already set a marriage with Luo Laohan's daughter, and originally planned to get married next month, but after learning that Li Yin was going to recruit someone to go to Goryeo, he insisted on coming with him, and his attitude was very resolute.

When Tang Jian and the few people who came with him saw this, they looked at each other silently, with shocked looks on their faces. After continuing to look at it, I found that the quality of the other recruits in all aspects was not as bad as the first three.

"This Li Yin, how did he recruit so many good soldiers in such a short period of time?" Tang Jian and the others were all puzzled in their hearts.

The reason why Li Yin recruited people so quickly was naturally because they were actually those brothers in his courtyard.

When these people were in Cuiyun Village, they trained with Li Yin, and under the rapid improvement of their strength, they all admired Li Yin very much, so they followed him down the mountain with all their hearts, and now they are recruited into the barracks by him by taking the opportunity......

In the following days, Li Yin did not leave the camp again, and has been training with the soldiers.

The training of soldiers in this era is mainly divided into three items, namely, boiling physical strength, practicing combat skills, and manipulating formations.

The way ancient soldiers boiled up their physical strength was different from that of modern times, and they did not practice running with weights or anything, but mainly practiced stone locks and smashing wooden stakes. Focus more on strength than endurance in practice.

Practicing combat skills, that is, practicing the use of weapons such as knives and bows, there are solo exercises for target shooting, and there are also sparring exercises in pairs.

The drill formation looks similar to the modern practice formation, but the purpose and requirements are very different.

The modern queue is disciplined, and this era is a real formation, and there are many more changes than the modern queue, but the requirements are not high, such as the whole team time, accurate standing, and the requirements are relatively low (most of the soldiers at this time are illiterate, and it is difficult to do the high requirements)

And these three exercises, the first is combat skills, the second is physical strength, and the last is the array. This is mainly related to the efficiency of these three exercises, the combat skill is the fastest to practice, the physical strength is second, and the array is the slowest.

For these three exercises, Li Yin combined the experience of his previous life, and through repeated practical research, he has summed up a set of more efficient training methods, and at this time, there is a good opportunity to generalize.

In fact, in peacetime, the training time for soldiers is still quite short, after all, training soldiers needs to consume more money and food, but now it is wartime, so they will train all day long.

……

On the sixteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival had passed, and Yang Guang, the son of heaven, officially ordered that the soldiers of the Quartet would go north, the army would reach Zhuojun, and the sailors would rush to Donglai Haikou to stand by.

Li Yuan also wanted to accompany the army, responsible for managing logistics such as military horses and weapons, because things were too cumbersome, so Li Jiancheng served as his deputy, Li Shimin knew about it, and also strongly asked the army to increase his knowledge, Li Yuan thought about it and agreed.

Li Yuanji saw that his two brothers had gone with the army, and he was also clamoring to go, but Li Yuan refused on the grounds that he was too young, which made Li Yuanji feel very dissatisfied.

Li Xiuning was listlessly walking in the courtyard at this time, and suddenly heard Li Yuanji arguing with Li Shimin, so he walked over.

"Second brother, dad is too partial, why can you go out with the army, and I can only stay at home?" Li Yuanji said indignantly.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "In another two or three years, my father will definitely agree to you." ”

Li Yuanji said with a nonchalant face: "You and the eldest brother, why can that concubine lead the troops to fight?" ”

Li Shimin said solemnly: "Although he is a concubine, he is also our elder brother, the fourth brother can't lose respect, and leading troops to fight is not a joke, it can be described as extremely dangerous, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, let alone what you can think of at your age." ”

Li Yuanji was still about to argue, but he heard a sound behind him, and when he walked over to take a look, there was no one left, just a familiar handkerchief on the ground.

Li Shimin picked up the handkerchief, and showed two small words "Xiuning" on the handkerchief, and said suspiciously: "The third sister's handkerchief, why did it fall here, has he ever been here?" ”

The two of them looked around for a while, but they didn't find Li Xiuning's figure.

……

"Driving...... "Driving ......" Li Xiuning rode a jujube red horse and galloped out of Luoyang City.

"Did he go with the army to avoid me? What a fool, how could he even take his life! Li Xiuning scolded in his heart.

Li Xiuning's horseback riding skills are very good, she is not the kind of delicate woman who does not go out of the door, riding a horse and archery, dancing knives and swords, everything is good.

She soon came to the camp in Mengjindu, but was told by the soldiers who stayed behind that the soldiers in the camp had just sailed out of the river.

Li Xiuning didn't say a word, immediately turned over and got on his horse and chased along the river.

I saw that above the Yellow River, the sails were shadowy, and there were no less than 100 warships of all kinds, which were going down the river mightily, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

With so many warships, how could Li Xiuning know where Li Yin was? Moreover, the current was turbulent and the speed of the warship was fast, which was not at all something that her jujube red horse could catch up.

In the end, Li Xiuning had to stop panting, and shouted loudly towards the warship that had become a small point with tears in his eyes: "Li Yin, you come back for me!" ”

……

Li Yin, who was blowing a cold wind on the deck, suddenly felt that he heard Li Xiuning's voice, and immediately looked around for a while, but he didn't see the familiar shadow.

Li Yin smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking to himself, "Could it be that I miss her so much that I have auditory hallucinations?" ”

He sighed, looked at the boiling Yellow River, and secretly said to himself: "After this battle, she should almost forget me, so let this senseless fate be worn away by time!" ”

For this war, most people now think that it can be ended relatively easily, but only Li Yin knows that this will be a protracted and extremely difficult war.

They set off on the sixteenth day of the first month, and have been going down the river, the speed is very fast, only in late February, they have arrived at the destination of Donglai Haikou, where they are waiting for the next order of the Son of Heaven Yang Guang.
