The soldiers in the barracks were still training, which aroused great interest in Laihu'er, he had long heard about Zhang Xuan's training of the army with the most severe methods, and after twenty days, he also wanted to see how the training was effective.

On the school field, the nine hundred soldiers were divided into three groups, two groups were training the spear formation, which was the most powerful formation of the infantry, using the collective strength to fight fiercely with the opponent, which could be described as invincible, even if the opponent was cavalry, they could also compete.

The third group was training knife skills, that is, the set of knife techniques taught by Zhang Xuan himself in the morning, and Lai Hu'er found that the sword skills of the army were different from the knife techniques commonly promoted in the army, which seemed to be more concise and effective, and more lethal.

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "This is a set of knife techniques created by the humble position, which is simple and effective, and is very suitable for actual combat." ”

Lai Hu'er didn't know that this was Zhang Xuan who transferred the training methods of the special forces of later generations, including actual combat skills and knife skills, to the soldiers without reservation.

Although the strength of the soldiers is insufficient and cannot be compared with that of the generals, the level of individual combat has been greatly improved, and they can basically achieve one-on-three.

"Kill!"

There were bursts of thunderous shouts on the school field, full of murderous aura, and the six hundred spearmen were all strong and powerful, and their movements were uniform, which made Lai Hu'er secretly admire, he was a person with vision, and from the level of training and mental outlook, he could see that this was an elite army.

He turned around and asked Jang Hyun with a smile, "Do you still want to run every day?" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, "The intensity of training every day has increased from forty miles to eighty miles, and sometimes to one hundred miles." ”

"No wonder these soldiers are black and thin!"

At this time, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and ordered: "Dismiss and return to the camp!" ”

He gave the order, and the soldiers disbanded one after another and rushed to their respective camps, which made Lai Hu'er a little puzzled, what did this mean?

At this time, Zhang Xuan walked up to Ling Gu, picked up the drumstick and struck it violently, 'Knock! Boom! Boom! ’

I saw all the soldiers rushing from all directions. With an unusually rapid assembly, Zhang Xuan finished his thirty drums, and all the soldiers had already assembled and stood in a large phalanx. Neat and straight, like a line drawn with an ink fountain, all of them are full of energy, and they are so majestic that they can be seen that the children are dumbfounded.

He knew that Zhang Xutuo's army could be assembled in fifty drums. But Jang Xuan's 1,000-strong army was actually assembled within 30 drums, and it was so neat.

Laihu'er was tempted, he knew that this army was all bandits, a group of rabble, but after Zhang Xuan's twenty days of intensive training, it was reborn, and it can't but be said that this is a miracle.

It is said that Yu Wenshu disdains this army because of Zhang Xuan, and he doesn't want such a good army, so how can he let go of this opportunity.

Laihu'er nodded and smiled, "Let's go talk!" ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan waved the red flag, the team immediately dispersed and began to continue training spear formations and sword skills training. Zhang Xuan brought Hu'er into his big tent.

Lai Hu'er saw that Zhang Xuan's big tent was very simple, except for a box, there was no difference between the others and ordinary soldiers, and he couldn't help nodding secretly, he had long heard that Zhang Xuan and the soldiers ate and lived together, eating coarse vegetables and brown rice, sleeping in shabby blankets, it didn't look exaggerated at all, this is the style of the ancient famous general, no wonder the saint values him very much.

Jang Hyun invited Hu'er to sit down. He asked the soldiers to serve tea again, and then Lai Hu'er said slowly: "The Holy Lord summoned me the morning before yesterday and officially appointed me as the commander of the former army to attack Goguryeo in advance. However, my troops were insufficient, so I asked for 20,000 Xiaoguo troops to replenish it, and the Holy Lord agreed. ”

Lai Hu'er handed a roster to Zhang Xuan with a smile, "This is the final decision of the Ministry of War, you can take a look for yourself!" ”

Zhang Xuan took the roster, and on it was the number of each Xiaoguo military office. For example, the fourth government and one battalion, the sixth government and three battalions, etc., there is no rule, it seems to be randomly selected, but all the numbers are the top fifteen provinces.

For this reason, Zhang Xuan also understands that the first fifteen prefectures are mainly veterans and have relatively strong combat effectiveness, while the latter fifteen prefectures are all temporary patchwork and have only been established for a few months, and most of the soldiers are from captured bandits, and their combat effectiveness is very low.

Zhang Xuan found his number in the last line: the third battalion of the 27th Prefecture, Lang General Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan was puzzled, the others were all before the fifteen mansions, but he was the only one after the fifteen mansions, this was just a coincidence of the military department, or did he come to Hu'er to specifically name himself?

He looked at Lai Hu'er puzzled, Lai Hu'er understood Zhang Xuan's thoughts, and said with a faint smile: "It's true that I asked you by name, if you don't want to, I can return you." ”

Although Zhang Xuan didn't understand Lai's intentions, he knew one thing very well, if he stayed under Yu Wenshu's hands, he would definitely die.

"Of course I do!"

Zhang Xuan almost did not hesitate, his attitude was very clear, how could he not be willing, living in the intriguing military mansion, he was already tired of it.

Besides, General Xiaoguo is Yuwenshu, like a mountain pressing on top of his head, he offended Ma Xunwu's long history, if he hadn't arrived in time today, he didn't know what would have happened to him?

Now that he can lead the army out of this military palace, how could he not be willing?

Laihu'er laughed, took out a box of vermilion and said with a smile: "If you want, press the handprint below!" You and your brethren in the third battalion, I'll take them all. ”

Jang Hyun dipped his index finger in vermilion and pressed his handprint on the roster.

Lai Hu'er accepted the roster, then smiled slightly, and explained to Zhang Xuan: "The reason why I asked you by name is mainly for two reasons, one is Zhang Xutuo's favor, you helped Zhang Xutuo at a critical moment, as his best friend, of course I will repay the favor and help General Zhang appropriately." ”

"Could it be that the general already knew that Yuwenshu would trouble me?"

"I knew it in Lu Mansion, Yuwenshu has a strong sense of revenge, he will never let General Zhang go, I heard that Sima Deheng was transferred, I knew that he was about to attack you."

Zhang Xuan sighed softly, "Come to the general's timely rescue, Zhang Xuan is grateful!" ”

"You don't have to be too grateful, in fact, I still have a personal matter that I want to ask General Zhang for help."

"General, please say, as long as Zhang Xuan can do it, he will never shirk!"

"That's right!"

Lai Hu'er smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "General Zhang gave General Yu five purple insect jade chrysalis, in fact, I am also facing the same problem as General Yu, but I am embarrassed to open my mouth in Lu Mansion, I don't know if General Zhang can-"

Zhang Xuan laughed, it turned out to be this trivial matter, he immediately got up and took out a crystal bottle from the box and handed it to Laihu'er. "These are five purple worms, if the general is not enough, I still have a little stock."

Lai Hu'er was overjoyed and hurriedly took the bottle. "General Yu said that five is enough, then I should be about the same, thank you General Zhang for your success."

"I should thank the general for coming, I don't know when I will leave Liaodong?"

"It's coming, that is, about these two days. General Zhang is always ready to go. ”

At this time, Lai Hu'er suddenly remembered an important matter, and whispered to Zhang Xuan: "This time there is an opportunity, if General Zhang is unwilling to return to the Xiaoguo Army after the Liaodong Campaign, then I can apply for General Zhang's army to become an independent government, which is the meaning of the Holy Lord, let the Xiaoguo Army strengthen the local military strength." ”

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Can a thousand people also build a mansion?" ”

"There are big and small houses, this is not necessarily, it just depends on the needs. Like some sparsely populated counties in the south, there are only 100 people in the military government, and the local government can't afford to raise more soldiers, but I want to make it clear that even if the government is built, there will be no change in General Zhang's military position, and the general is still a martial general. ”

Zhang Xuan doesn't care about the size of his official position, he just hopes that he doesn't have a top boss, and he doesn't suffer from that splint anger, more importantly. He could have used this opportunity to purge his disloyal men.

Zhang Xuan immediately bowed down and said, "The general can let me build a mansion independently, Zhang Xuan is here to thank you in advance." ”

Lai Hu'er smiled, "You're welcome, it's just a trivial matter!" ”

Although it is an understatement. But Laihu'er secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he arrived at the barracks in time today, otherwise he would have missed out on this elite army, Yuwenshu didn't take this army in his eyes, it was definitely a big loss for him.

．．．．．．．．

The next night, Jang Hyun was full of people in the big tent. All the officers above the rank of the team were summoned to discuss the matter, this is one of the largest camp tents in the whole army, generally used to store food or ordnance materials, but this big tent was specially used by Zhang Xuan for meetings, covering an area of half an acre, there are no facilities in the tent, everyone sits on the ground.

Inside the big tent, everyone was whispering, discussing tomorrow's training, and Jang Hyun would basically summon the officers to come to the meeting every few days, so everyone didn't expect that today's meeting would be any different.

At this time, there were soldiers outside the tent shouting, and I saw Zhang Xuan striding in from outside the tent, and everyone stood up with uniform movements.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, all the officers sat down again, Zhang Xuan's seat was in the innermost, close to the big tent, the terrain was slightly higher than the others, the big tent was silent, all the officers looked at Zhang Xuan, I don't know what new things the general has to announce when he gathers everyone tonight?

"I have something important to announce to you tonight!"

Zhang Xuan's sharp eyes looked at everyone one by one, and said slowly: "Just this afternoon, I received an urgent order from the Ministry of War, the third battalion of the 27th Military Government, that is, the vanguard army that we will be transferred to the general, to participate in the battle against the outpost of Goguryeo. ”

Zhang Xuan's words were like a scoop of cold water poured into a hot oil pot, and the big tent suddenly exploded, and several officers shouted angrily: "General, how can we go to the current army, it is going to die!" ”

Everyone was very nervous, and there was a lot of noise in the big tent, as if Zhang Xuan had announced that the officers and soldiers had eaten and lived together on the first day.

Zhang Xuan didn't say anything, let everyone shout, and several lieutenants were even more anxious and red-faced, resolutely opposing being transferred out of the 27th Mansion, and after a while, the big tent gradually quieted down.

Zhang Xuan said to everyone again: "I know that some people are unwilling to go, but the order of the Ministry of War has come down, and it is estimated that General Yuwen has also gotten it, and it cannot be changed, but I will give you a choice, if there are people here who are unwilling to go, then you can continue to stay in the Twenty-Seven Mansions, and Ma Changshi will rearrange the position, or follow General Sima to the local military mansion, which is related to your vital interests, I hope you will carefully consider your choice, go or stay?" ”

"General, do you have to make a decision now?" Someone asked.

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "The army will leave tomorrow morning, just make a decision before leaving tomorrow!" ”

．．．．．．．

Zhang Xuan knew that someone would definitely choose to stay, this time was not like the last time the officers and soldiers ate together, although there were many opponents this time, but after all, it was only the appetite that was affected, and everyone could bear it.

But this time it will involve the vital interests of many people, and more importantly, everyone knows that the front army that came to Hu'er will be the front-line battlefield, and although the treatment is good, no one here is willing to send them to death.

Moreover, Sima Deheng and Ma Xunwu may not agree to break away from their henchmen.

However, for Jang Hyun, this is a great opportunity to purge dissidents, Lai Hu'er promised him that all the missing officers will be recommended and appointed by him, and Jang Hyun is also looking forward to the departure of those who do not agree.

In the morning, the answer was finally revealed, a total of eight officers were unwilling to follow Zhang Xuan to leave, including three captains, four brigade commanders and one team leader, four captains under Zhang Xuan, and only the new logistics regiment captain Shen Zhengxuan was willing to follow Zhang Xuan to transfer to the front army.

This result is exactly what Jang Hyun is looking forward to. (To be continued.) )
