Right Guards Battalion.

A young general, dressed in bright armor, was watching the soldiers on the school floor perform a very strange training. It is our Fang Xu, Fang Zhonglang.

There were also two officers about thirty years old standing beside Fang Xu, who were Fang Xu's deputy to General Fang Zhonglang - General Zuo Lang, and Wai Lang, who was already a member of the household department of Shangshu Province from the sixth grade, was brought in by Fang Xu to take charge of the judgment of Cao, Wufu, and Waifu, the number of soldiers and legions, the number of equipment, chariots and horses, and the number of trivial matters.

I only heard Fang Xu say to the two officers: "Fixed, regular, now you can understand why I let them train like this?" Sun Tzu's Art of War: Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as plundering as fire, as immobile as a mountain, as difficult as a cloud, and as moving as a thunderstorm. But look at how many generals have been able to do it to the soldiers under their command on the battlefield throughout the ages. ”

Those two officers were Su Lie, Su Dingfang, Liu Renliang, and Liu Zhengze.

Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang, that is the talent of a general, the posture of a famous general.

More than 20 years later, in the Gaozong period, after the death of Li Jing, Wei Chigong and other famous founding generals, these two people supported most of the Tang army.

In the second year of Tang Gaozong's celebration, Su Dingfang was promoted to the head of the marching army, and began to take charge of his own affairs, and was deeply appreciated and trusted by Tang Gaozong for his extraordinary achievements and integrity, and was repeatedly entrusted with important tasks. Expedition to the West. The Turks, Pinglingling, Baekje, Goguryeo, and the Three Kingdoms were destroyed before and after, all of which captured their masters, and expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty to the west to Central Asia and the Korean Peninsula to the east, making immortal contributions to the Tang Empire. He was successively transferred to General Zuo Xiaowei, General Zuo Wuwei, and was named the Duke of Xing. In his later years, he was appointed as the ambassador of Anji, and was fully responsible for the military defense of Tibet.

In the third year of Tang Gaozong's reign, Liu Renliang defeated the Japanese and Baekje coalition forces in the battle of Baijiangkou and became famous all over the world, so that Japan has been sending envoys (sending Tang envoys, etc.) to the Tang Dynasty to learn from the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, and gradually formed a complete set of political, economic, and cultural systems, and Japan has almost been a "specific and micro" copy model of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. Until the twentieth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea (the middle Yuan Dynasty did not count), and Japan did not dare to call China again for nearly a thousand years. The political, economic, and cultural landscape of Northeast Asia was laid for more than 1,000 years.

As for how Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang appeared under Fang Xu, we have to start from the beginning.

Su Dingfang is a native of Wuyi, Jizhou. In the last years of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, his father Su Yong led thousands of people in his hometown to fight against thieves for his own state and county.

Su Dingfang is brave and strong, with extraordinary strength and courage, at the age of fifteen, he followed his father to fight and took the lead in charging into battle many times. After Su Yong's death, he took the place of his father and led the people.

When the eighteenth road was against the king and the Central Plains, Su Dingfang went to Dou Jiande's account, and Dou Jiande's general Gao Yaxian liked Dingfang very much and accepted him as his adopted son. Later, he followed Gao Yaxian to conquer the city for Liu Heimin's army, and every time he made military exploits. After Liu Heimin and Gao Yaxian were defeated, Su Ding conveniently returned to his hometown.

In the early years of Zhenguan, Su Dingfang was reactivated by the Tang Dynasty, and Ren Kuangdao Mansion was reversed.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the Weifu system, and placed 657 Zhichong Mansions in the locality, which was equivalent to the military divisions of later generations.

The upper government has 1,200 people (sometimes increased to 1,500 people), the middle government has 1,000 people, and the lower government has 800 people. The chief is the commander of the folded Chong, the upper house is on the fourth grade, the middle house is under the fourth grade, and the lower mansion is under the fifth grade.

At that time, Su Dingfang, to put it bluntly, was the commander of the military division, with local garrison troops, and there were only 1,800 soldiers, in fact, he was a commander.

If he is a person who has no pursuits, such a day is also very comfortable, but Su Dingfang is obviously not.

Fang Xu knew that this was destined to be a man who wanted to be famous in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Fang Xu found it, and Cheng Bitingjin, the general of the Right Wuwei, transferred Su Dingfang to his command as the general of Zuo Lang.

One was the commander of the local garrison military division, and the other was the deputy division commander of the field unit, so Su Dingfang did not hesitate for a moment, and rushed over after receiving the order.

As for, Liu Renliang. Originally a native of Weishi County, Bianzhou, his family was poor when he was a teenager and loved to learn. When encountering the social **** in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, I couldn't read quietly, and whenever I was working, I stretched out my fingers to write and draw in the air and on the ground to consolidate the knowledge I had learned, and finally became famous for my knowledge.

In the early years of Wude, Henan Province appeased the ambassador Ren Gui to draft a recital to discuss state affairs, and Liu Renliang saw the draft and revised a few sentences for him. Ren Gui was amazed by his talent and learning, and appointed him to join the army in Xizhou according to the imperial court's regulations.

Later, he was reappointed as the lieutenant of Chencang County. There is a lieutenant named Lu Ning in the official office, who is arrogant and indulgent and violates the law, and no one in the county office can subdue him. Liu Renliang warned him not to repeat the crime, but Lu Ning's ferocity and brutality remained the same, and Liu Renliang beat him to death with a torture rod. The officials in the state reported the matter to the imperial court, and Li Shimin said angrily: "A county lieutenant actually killed my Zhichong Lieutenant, can this work?" "Summoned him to the court for questioning. Liu Renliang replied: "Lu Ning insulted me, and I killed him for it." Tang Taizong thought that Liu Renliang was resolute and upright, and wanted to promote him to Xianyang County.

As a result, he was cut off by Fang Xu, and on the grounds that he had served as a member of the army in Xizhou, he was dropped to his command and served as his right general, which was really several levels higher than Su Dingfang.

These two people are both very good, one fought on the battlefield at the age of fifteen, charged into battle, and the other dared to directly beat Captain Zhichong to death.

To say, as soon as he came up, he was very convinced of Fang Xu, it was impossible, and General Fang Zhonglang did not have the spirit of Wang Ba.

However, people at that time were very particular about the grace of knowledge.

Just like Ma Zhou, his talent is beyond doubt, and people have become prime ministers in history. Moreover, Li Shimin was very satisfied with the work of resettling the displaced people, and the prime ministers of the three provinces also praised him.

Fang Xu transferred the family from a member of the household department to the army to make a long history, although there was a factor that Fang Xu wanted him to do with his military exploits.

But after Ma Zhou took over as Changshi, he did his best, which is undeniable, and there is an element of repaying Fang Xu's kindness.

And, Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang, although these two people survived with military exploits, they both read books, especially Liu Renliang.

Of course, they had heard of Fang Xu's reputation, the poems he wrote, the articles he wrote, and the books of Nameng. Ping.****** Ce their level is too low to be qualified to know.

Especially that sentence, but make the dragon city fly, do not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain. Let Su Dingfang love it.

However, it is one thing to say and another thing to do, such as Zhao Kuo, there are not a few people who talk on paper.

They know three things, though.

First, Fang Xu is a capable person.

Second, Fang Xu has a lot of weight in His Majesty the Emperor Li Shimin, and he also has a lot of connections with the princes of the dynasty.

In fact, they themselves are also very capable, and with their strength, the credit is simply not too easy. Therefore, even if half of the credit was given to Fang Xu, with Fang Xu there, they would be able to enter the sight of the emperor and the veteran Zaifu.

And, in the past month, Fang Xu's strange method of training soldiers has completely convinced them.

PS: The military system of the Tang Dynasty is very chaotic and complex, and it changes frequently, and there are such as regiments, brigades and battalions that do not conform to the cognitive habits of modern people, so for the convenience of writing and the content is clear, so the military system of the Tang Dynasty in this book is simplified by Sima, please do not study it in depth according to the party.
