Xu Wushan is very large, the mountain is deep and dense, although the villagers often go to the mountain to cut firewood, but they are only on the periphery, and if you want to enter the mountain without a guide, it is easy to get lost. Tian Fu, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, took Tian Jing and Gongsun Xu into the mountain, turning around and around, and it took a lot of twists and turns. When they reached the flat place of the valley, the six people found that there was a different world in the original mountain, there was a mountain pass more than ten zhang wide between the two steep mountain cliffs, and now the mountain pass was erected at the gate of the three zhang high. In front of the gate of the village, dozens of people are waiting with hunting bows and arrows. Looking through the walled gate, there is a large valley inside, the terrain is wide, the water and grass are abundant, and it is estimated that it is not a problem to settle tens of thousands of people.

Now there are about 200 families and 17,800 people from the Tian clan and the people of Wuzhong County. Everyone was busy setting up tents and building wooden houses, but fortunately it was not winter, and the climate was bearable.

Tian Jing and the other six people were directly led by Tian Fu to a larger wooden house inside, which was the Tian ancestral hall temporarily built by Tian Chou, and now the discussions in the valley are here.

Tian Jing introduced five people including Gongsun Xu to Tian Chou, Tian Chou arranged for his subordinates to cook, and when he talked about what happened in the past few days, Tian Chou was both worried about his son and proud of his son. When he heard about the current situation in Youzhou, Tian Chou also realized that the situation was worse than imagined, but he was afraid that Gongsun Chan might not be able to survive this winter. However, Gongsun Xu was present, and he did not show it during the banquet.

In the evening, Tian Chou arranged Gongsun Xu and others to live in one place. Tian Jing went to his parents' room to meet his parents.

"My son is back, now that the war in Youzhou is raging, it's good for you to come back, don't leave when you come back." Mrs. Tian watched her son shed two lines of tears.

Tian Chou looked at Tian Jing and didn't answer, knowing that his son was afraid that he had his own ideas. "You have suffered in Jixian County for most of the past half a year."

"Father, mother, although the child is hostage in Jixian County, but it is not abandoned, he recognizes General Zhao Yun as a teacher and learns marksmanship every day; Later, in order to make a mistake, he became Gongsun Zhan's horse boy, and joined the reserve white horse Yi battalion. The child knows that his father is unwilling to demote his father, and the child is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but the child has his own plans, and he hopes that his father can understand. Tian Jing said.

"There are some things, Tian Fu comes back, I already know, I am the lonely minister of the Han clan, it is my idea; Walk your own way, and the Father will not interfere. Tian Chou said.

Tian Jing didn't expect his father to be so open-minded, after all, this is ancient times, but his father gave him the opportunity to choose independently, "Thank you, father." ”

"The current situation, I'm afraid that Gongsun Chan won't be able to survive next year, and Youzhou will change hands in a blink of an eye, how will my son deal with himself then?" Tian Chou asked.

"The current Youzhou can be said to be troubled internally and externally, Gongsun Zhan's high-pressure policy can not be popular with the people of Youzhou, and it cannot suppress the Wuhuan foreign clan in the three counties, and Yuan Shao is on the side, Gongsun Chan will be defeated sooner or later. But the master is very much like his father, and he is a foolish and loyal master," Tian Jing stuck out his tongue when he said this, and saw that Tian Chou didn't care and continued, "I'm afraid that he won't leave Gongsun Zhan." The formation of the reserve white horse volunteer camp is all the child's idea, although at first it was to help the orphans of the helpless Yicong, but now it is inevitable that they will suffer from the scourge of war, and they train together every day, and the child and they already have a relationship. Especially Gongsun Xu, Liu Yong, Li Kang, and Le Ping, we don't know each other, and now we are like brothers in life and death, how can children ignore other doors. ”

"Then you mean you're going back to Jixian County?" Tian Chou asked.

"Exactly, although children also want to be filial to their parents, there are just some things that must be done." Tian Jing said firmly.

"Good!" Tian Chou patted Tian Jing on the shoulder, "Righteous and responsible, he is my son of Tian Chou." ”

"Father, there is one more thing that the child wants to discuss with his father. Although Gongsun Chan killed Liu Yu, his father and Gongsun Chan were incompatible, but now Liaoxi Wuhuan is ambitious and wants to occupy the entire Youzhou. At this time, we Han people must unite ourselves, if we let Bandun win, I don't know how many people will be slaughtered. The child hopes that his father can help Gongsun Chan and defeat Bunton. Tian Jing said.

"This matter has also been considered by my father, and the ambition of this person is still above Qiu Liju back then, and my father will definitely not sit back and watch Liaoxi Wuhuan become bigger. However, there are only five hundred people who can organize a battle here, how can they resist the tens of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry. Tian Chou said.

"It's good that my father has this intention, this matter is not in a hurry, Gongsun Chan will definitely not sit back and watch the attack on Jixian County, I believe that there will be a head-to-head confrontation in a few days, and then we will act when we see the opportunity." Tian Jing said, "By the way, there were nearly 1,000 defenders in that Wuzhong County, led by the county lieutenant, and my father withdrew to the mountains with the clan people, but where did the 1,000 defenders go?" ”

"It's also funny to say that this person is also funny, because my father originally wanted Minzhuang to disguise himself as a Wuhuan person, and pretended to sneak attack the county town of Wuwan, so as to scare away the defenders. However, he overheard the news that Liaoxi Wuhuan had captured Tuyan City and was marching to Wuzhong County. Wei's father revealed the news to the county lieutenant, pretending to entrust him to shelter the people, but he didn't expect him to quietly evacuate with the defenders that night. This county lieutenant is so timid, he didn't expect it for his father. Tian Chou said.

"This is strange, the six of us rushed all the way from Jixian County through Lu County, but we have never seen or heard the news of these thousand people, could they have disappeared out of thin air?" Tian Jing said.

"They didn't evacuate in the direction of Jixian, but this father didn't know." Tian Chou was also stunned.

"Forget it, don't think about him, where these thousand people went, it shouldn't be aimed at us. It was not easy for my father to build this cottage on such a scale in just a few months. The child saw that there was a lot of land in this mountain, and if his father could organize everyone to reclaim the land while going up the mountain to hunt and gather, and the grain accumulated in Wuzhong County for many years was transported here, I am afraid that he could feed no less than 5,000 people. If the war continues, I'm afraid that only here is a paradise in Youzhou. Tian Jing said.

"If you can really live 5,000 people as you said, you can be considered worthy of Liu Youzhou and the Han Dynasty as a father." Tian Chou said.

The father and son talked a lot about family affairs and state affairs. Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, the two of them hastily slept for a while.

When I got up early the next morning, Gongsun Xu and the others were already waiting outside. Tian Jing told everyone about the plan with a short answer, "Now there are two choices, one is that Tian Chou will send people to explore the way, detour to Yongnu and Anci, and return to Jixian County from the south, this road should not be blocked by the enemy, but the distance is more than doubled, even if you return to Jixian, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch up with this important battle." Another option is to wait for the opportunity here, and when Gongsun Chan sends troops to fight a decisive battle with Bundun, we and the 500 people here will fight from behind and change the situation on the battlefield at a critical moment. ”

After Tian Jing finished speaking, the other people began to discuss it. In fact, the first plan, everyone did not approve of it, although it was safe, but there was no chance of contribution. After all, they are teenagers, and the birth calf is not afraid of tigers, so the second plan is very attractive. But when it comes to 500 Minzhuang, they don't have so much confidence, Minzhuang is Minzhuang after all, and there are only 500 people, and against the 20,000 army of Bang Dun, isn't that an egg hitting a stone?

After hearing their worries, Tian Jing smiled, "Since everyone has doubts in their hearts, why don't we go to the training ground and take a look?" Although he had never seen the people trained by his father, he dared to go to Chang'an just by seeing his father with twenty cavalry, and he wanted to come with unique skills. Moreover, my father has a family tradition of war, and it is not a problem to train cavalry, and these 500 people are only afraid that their combat effectiveness will never be under Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteousness.

When they arrived at the training ground, they saw 400 people standing in the middle of the field, full of energy and awe-inspiring momentum. Tian Chou stood on the platform, there were two people on the left and right, two people outside holding the golden drum, and two people holding the four-color flag. As soon as the Lingqi moved, these 500 people quickly changed their formation, their movements were uniform, and the rules were rigorous. The archer is in front, the sword and shield are in the center, and the spear is in the back, this is the method of infantry formation, first shoot with the archer on the back to maintain long-range coverage, and then the archer has two wings, the sword and shield hand rushes forward, blocking the enemy's bow and crossbow, and then the spearman quickly rushes out of the sword and shield formation to break up the enemy formation. This was followed by the defensive Fangyuan Formation, the Wild Goose Formation of the archers' main attack, the Cone Formation of the whole army's impact, and the original Breaking Army Formation of Tian Chou. The core of this formation is a hundred people who dare to die with an axe, this hundred people wear heavy armor, hold sharp axes, do not avoid swords, guns, bows and crossbows, blindly just attack, sacrifice death and forget life, go forward, and go straight to the enemy's army. At this time, all other personnel, whether archers, sword and shield men, and spearmen, all concentrated in the direction of the daredevils, concentrated on breaking through a little, thus completely changing the situation on the battlefield. After a formation exercise, these more than 400 people really achieved "when they hear the drum, they advance, and when they hear the gold, they retreat", and no one does not respect the order, this is not a people's strength at all, but I am afraid that even the Yulin of the imperial court may not be able to achieve such a degree.

Gongsun Xu and the other five people were eye-opening, and they were amazed, Tian Jing didn't expect that the people trained by his father would be strong to such an extent, especially the 100 heavy armor axemen, I don't know how much money my father spent to build iron armor, and I don't know how much time and energy it took to find a suitable physique and then train it like this.

After Tian Chou finished the formation, he smiled at the six people, "Do you think my people can still be strong?" ”

"Make, make, uncle, your people are too strong. If they had been there, we would have been able to smash the big tent in the coming decisive battle. Leping said.

Gongsun Xu was also very surprised, the combat effectiveness of these people was obviously much higher than his father's army, but fortunately there were only four hundred people, otherwise it would be a disaster, "I don't know how much time it took you to train these four hundred people?" ”

Tian Chou smiled, "That is, for more than half a year, the formation looks like that, but it lacks the experience of the battlefield." I don't see blood, I'm afraid that they are not a real army. ”

"Uncle, I see that you are a sword and shield hand in the army, and your sword skills are very powerful, I don't know who taught them, maybe teach me?" Leping hurriedly interjected, it turned out that he still remembered to learn knife skills.

Tian Chou said, "Of course, I still have a hundred cavalry outside the mountain pretending to be the men and horses of Wuhuan in Youbeiping, and at the same time inquire about the news, and now I am not in the mountain." For the past few days, you have been resting in the mountains. A few of my righteous brothers, thirteen are the best at swordsmanship, seventeen hundred steps through Yang, the seventh and nine are experts in making spears, the old five are invincible with a wind axe, and some of the remaining people are proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and some are good at tracking ambushes, you can learn from them according to your preferences. You are all friends of Jing'er, and you are also my nephews, if there is anything you want to learn, just ask. ”

Tian Chou finished speaking. Leping cheered, Li dared to smirk, he fell in love with the majesty of the axe, Liu Yong and Xiaoliu were also happy in their hearts, only Gongsun Xu regarded himself as an identity, and had no idea of opening his mouth to beg for help.

In this way, Liuxiao lived in Xu Wushan and learned martial arts and the art of war every day. However, the time is too short, and they can only learn the basics. On this day, there was a sudden report from Tanma, saying that Gongsun Zan sent an envoy to Yuan Shao to sue for peace, and then dispatched 30,000 soldiers and horses to the north to Luxian County, preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of Bandun. Tian Chou summoned everyone to the ancestral hall to discuss matters, and the six children were all present, and a big battle belonging to them was coming.
