Chapter Fifty-Six: Receiving a Hundred Battle Teams
Seeing Li Xueyan's triumphant demeanor, Du He just smiled bitterly, but after thinking about it, he also felt that what she said was good, even Cheng Jade's terrifying face could be disguised, and the others were naturally a piece of cake, not to mention.
"I'll try!" When Du He saw Li Xueyan's masterpiece of skillful hands, he remembered the steps recorded in the book, and his mind also moved. came to the table and followed Li Xueyan's steps, mixed the materials together, and kneaded them. It seems easy to make a mask, but it is actually very difficult.
The mask is too thick to be too thick, and it is too thin and easy to break, it is exactly the difference of a few points, and it is a thousand miles of error, and it is indeed not easy to master the proportion.
Du He often practices martial arts, and there are calluses in the palms of his hands, which is really not so good, either thick or thin, and once made the mask thick with pig skin, just like the kind of hard-shell mask bought on the street, but it is too big, and Li Xueyan has not laughed to death.
Not to mention that this specializes in skill, but this is not false at all.
Li Xueyan has no teacher, and without anyone's guidance, she can understand this disguise technique with just a secret book. Du He is much more intelligent than Li Xueyan in terms of intelligence, but in the face of the stunt of Yi Rong, even if there are people around him to demonstrate and guide, he has never been able to make a decent face, let alone a detailed depiction of the face, and he is not forcing it at the moment. This Li Xueyan is about to become his wife, what is the difference between her skills and her own?
So, I wrote down the voice change technique so that I could practice it from time to time. At the same time, she also cautiously instructed Li Xueyan not to tell anyone about her disguise technique, not even her father.
Li Xueyan looked puzzled, I don't know why this fun thing can not be shared with others.
Du He couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the 100,000 whys on her face: This disguise technique belongs to the art of the sideways, and when used in the right places, it can benefit the people, but when used in bad places, there are immeasurable harms. Just like that Shi Yuhua, he relied on a clever disguise technique to do evil everywhere, disguised as someone else's husband, a silver wife and daughter.
This is just one person doing evil, and although the harm is great, it is also limited. But if someone uses the disguise technique to disguise himself as a local magistrate or a local general, and endanger one side, the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of the people who will suffer, and may also cause national turmoil, it will be terrible. But it's no wonder she showed such a look, in this era, the children of the poor are in charge early, Li Xueyan is of noble birth, she is not like Changle, she has been exposed to the battles in the court, and she is not like the poor family, she has experienced all kinds of situations in the world. As the only daughter of Li Daozong, the prince of Jiangxia County, she is like a flower growing up in a greenhouse, she doesn't know the world and has a sinister heart. Therefore, they are completely unaware of the consequences of this disguise falling into the hands of the villains.
Du He said in a deep voice: "Snow Goose, you have this technology, which is equivalent to incarnating tens of millions, that is, you have committed the crime of killing your head, with your current ability, no one can catch you, you can disguise yourself as another person, and you can calmly and swagger out of Chang'an." Therefore, if the disguise technique is learned, the villain will do whatever he wants for the evil world. In more severe cases, he can disguise himself as anyone, including...... Emperor! His last two words were unusually serious.
"Ahh Li Xueyan had already made Du He feel related, but when she heard the word "emperor" at the end, she couldn't help but exclaim in fright. In the feudal era, the sky and the earth were big, and the emperor was the biggest, and this fake emperor was really a big thing.
Du He said it so seriously, in order to let Li Xueyan keep this secret.
When Li Xueyan heard that the matter was so serious, she also put away her smile to show that she understood.
Du He immediately smiled: "Actually, it's not just for this reason to keep you secret, but also for selfishness." Have you ever heard of a thief? I...... Is that the thief? He immediately told the Helan family about his crimes, and briefly introduced his origin. Of course, it can't be said that he is from the hereafter, this is too shocking to say. just said that he had a master named Chu Liuxiang, and he inherited his career and robbed the rich to help the poor, but he couldn't work hard at home and couldn't keep stickers and take things. So before martial arts entered the realm, she needed her help.
For Du He, Li Xueyan is already his appointed wife, so there is nothing that should not be said and hidden.
Li Xueyan was stunned for a while, and it took a while to react, and her bright eyes looked at Du He with a brilliant brilliance, with admiration and pride: "It turns out that Du Lang is the thief ......."
Du He only used the name of "thief" twice, once when he took Li Chengqian's seal of the prince, and the other time because he heard the rampant Helan family from Wu Meiniang and decided to punish him, so he used the name of thief. Li Chengqian's time may have been too embarrassing, and it was not spread in the royal family, and only a few people knew about it. Only the Helan family made a big fuss, so that the term "thief handsome" was born, and even passed into Li Shimin's ears.
As the emperor, Li Shimin did not have any good impression of this kind of law-abiding ranger figure, not to mention that the "thief" also taught Li Chengqian a lesson and stole the seal of the prince. Although Li Chengqianhe is wrong, he can't afford a ranger to teach him a lesson.
So, at that time, he also specially instructed the government to make every effort to arrest the "thief". With the appointment of Li Shimin, the emperor, the officials of Chang'an who are responsible for arresting thieves are all working hard and must perform well. In the end, the "thief" did not find any traces, but it made the people of Chang'an panic. The word "thief" has also been advertised for this reason, and the deeds are well known.
Li Xueyan is different from the pedantic of Confucianism, in her opinion, Du He's actions are worthy of appreciation, and she also has a little admiration for the "thief". Now that he heard that Du He was a "thief", that little admiration was immediately promoted to blind worship.
Du Heke couldn't guess her thoughts, so he just stretched his head over and said in a low voice: "This is a secret, except for me, no one else knows, this time I told you not to spread it, otherwise I will be imprisoned by His Majesty." ”
Li Xueyan felt the heat blowing on her face, she glanced at Du He, but her heart was sweeter than eating honey: such an important matter, her sweetheart didn't tell Changle that he was willing to share it with him, isn't this enough to show how much he values himself?
Women are like this, she and Changle are close friends in the boudoir, and they have no intention of competing with them, but when they encounter this kind of thing, they can't help but be complacent. This can help her sweetheart and reflect the value of her existence, which is also very important for a woman who is in love. What's more, what Du He did was not a bad thing of stealing chickens and dogs, but robbing the rich and helping the poor in an open manner. Li Xueyan already had a longing for heroes, and she was even more happy about this matter.
This Du He has not yet decided when to make a move, and Li Xueyan has already begun to pester him, asking him when he will make a move.
Du He glanced at the enthusiastic Li Xueyan, and muttered in his heart: "I, the emperor, are not in a hurry, what are you anxious about as a eunuch?" I didn't talk to her about it, I just took the topic away and chatted with her for a long time.
Early the next morning, Du He notified his parents and asked Du Ruhui and Zhang to handle the marriage.
This son got married, and the two elders were also happy to work.
After all, Li Xueyan is the lord of the county, not as noble as the princess, but she is also a royal prince, and she needs to strictly follow the customs stipulated in several regulations, such as Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, and asking for time.
This step by step will take at least a month.
Du He is not in a hurry, and he is not in a hurry. After notifying the second elder, he also went to the Zuo Weiwei military camp to report. This Li Ji has been promoted to the secretary of the military department, I don't know who the current general Zuo Weiwei is, and whether he will be as easy to talk as Li Ji.
When he came to Zuo Weiwei's camp and entered the Chinese army's tent, he couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Li Ji still sitting in the position of the commander.
Li Ji smiled slightly and motioned for Du He to sit down quickly.
Du He came to the seat of General Zuo Weiwei and sat down, and around him were veterans in their thirties and forties. At his age, he can sit in this position with his military exploits, which is unique in Datang.
Li Ji issued the order for training as usual, leaving Du He alone.
After all the generals retreated, Li Ji smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew, today the old man wants to give you a gift to celebrate your rare miraculous feats." ”
Du He saw Li Ji's happy face, and he didn't know if what he said was true or not, the two of them had a good relationship, and said half-jokingly: "The little nephew's appetite is very big, and ordinary gifts don't go into the eyes of the little nephew." ”
Li Ji smiled "haha" when he heard this, "Old man, you are satisfied with my gift package...... Nephew, come with me! ”
Du He saw that this top boss who had always treated him well had a confident look, and he was also interested, Li Ji, as an elder, said this, there must be something decent in his hand, and it was given to himself.
Li Ji led the way ahead, and Du He followed.
The two walked one after the other, and under the leadership of Li Ji, Du He came to Zuo Weiwei's camp outside the Chinese army camp, which was the core of Zuo Weiwei and the place where Li Ji trained his guards, and he himself came for the first time.
Du He raised his eyes and looked at it, and exclaimed in his heart: the door of the barracks was wide open, the sentry posts in the camp were numerous, the bows were wound, the knives were sold, and a murderous aura came to his face: in the center of Chang'an, where the enemy could not appear, the soldiers maintained enough vigilance one by one. This alone is enough to show that the army here is an elite army that can go to the battlefield anytime and anywhere. Seeing Li Ji, Du He and others coming, the soldiers in the camp were still as if they were doing nothing, and they were busy with their own affairs.
The training of training, the patrol of patrols, none of them stopped because of Li Ji's appearance, not because they did not respect him as a coach, but because of strict discipline, which made them devote their minds to what they were doing.
Seeing such strict military discipline, Du He couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
Walking into the camp, he already had a good foundation in the marching formation, and was immediately amazed by the ingenuity of the layout of the camp. Not far away is the school field, the huge school field is the size of ten football fields, more than 5,000 soldiers are routinely practicing on this school field, looking from afar, all the soldiers exude a fierce murderous aura.
Coming closer, the foot gate of the infantry training ground, each holding a bright sword in his hand, followed the cheers of the commander on the school platform, repeatedly doing the four simple and practical battlefield knife techniques of "splitting, sweeping, teasing, and blocking".
This is really a strong general, and there are no weak soldiers in his hands. In the cavalry training ground, the archer training ground, the Mo sword soldier training ground and other training grounds, one by one the soldiers are seriously engaged in training, honing their combat skills. The strength they showed also made Du He look at it differently.
Suddenly, Du He's eyes were attracted by a team of soldiers in the corner of the training ground, these soldiers were divided into two teams, and they were practicing against each other, and the two teams of soldiers were holding real knives and guns in their hands, and the sound of gold and iron intersecting was endless, and there was a pride and ambition in their bodies that completely ignored life and death, murderous and terrifying, and exclaimed: "What an iron-blooded force!" ”
Li Ji smiled smugly when he heard this, and said: "That is the elite I personally trained, all of them are daring warriors, and the name 'Xuanfeng Army' given by His Majesty is one of the three strong forces of my Datang." ”
"The three powerhouses?" Du He was stunned, this was the first time he had heard of it.
Li Ji explained: "It's no wonder that the virtuous nephew doesn't know that this is called by us veterans in private, and there is no rumor." In my Datang, there are three armies with small numbers but terrifying combat power. The first virtuous nephew should know that it was the Xuanjia Army formed by His Majesty from the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, and there were two left: one was the old man's Xuanfeng Army, and the other was General Li Jing's Jiesheng Army. ”
He kept going!
Du He followed behind Li Ji, looking at the 'Chosen Frontier Army' repeatedly, secretly wondering when he would be able to have such a strong team, but he also knew that even if he did, he was afraid that it would be five years later. He knew very well that this kind of strong force not only relied on training, but also had to go through countless battlefield battles, walk down from the mountain of corpses, and climb out of the sea of blood. Only a group of people who have gone through ten or even dozens of bloody battles can forge such an iron-blooded force. Think so. I couldn't help but show a look of envy in my eyes.
At this time, his eyes noticed the general on the platform of the 'Elective Front Army' training ground, he was about thirty, and he was too far away to see clearly, but from his figure, he felt a violent momentum, which made people feel cold, and he couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Who is he?" ”
Before he could dispel his thoughts, Li Ji had already come to the largest and widest school platform in the center, motioned for Du He to come up with him, and then asked the drummers to beat the drums and gather.
Du He had doubts in his heart from the beginning, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Li Ji was selling in this gourd: he was obviously going to give him a gift but came to the barracks unexpectedly, and at first he was thinking that the gift might be placed in the barracks, but he saw that Li Ji was walking in the direction of the school field, and when he was explaining this in his heart, Li Ji ordered to gather again.
What's going on here?
Such a thought flashed in Du He's heart, but he was soon speechless: the scene in front of him was too amazing, and when the various soldiers who were still training in their respective places sounded the drums of the assembly, a group of soldiers reacted in an instant. They collected their weapons in unison, and then formed an army in the same place. An army came to the front of the school field like one person.
Just within the three drums, the 5,000-strong army was already on standby in front of the school platform where Li Ji was.
It's so fast and so efficient, it's astounding.
Du He's own soldiers are already considered rare elites, but compared with Li Ji's soldiers and horses, they are a whole grade behind.
"How is it, nephew Du Xian, the old man's soldier is not bad, right?" Li Ji laughed as he spoke, and his hand was still gently twisting the beard.
Looking at his smug look, Du He also had to convince him: "It's not bad, it's just amazing, surprising, and speechless...... Just, what does this gift have to do with it? ”
"Absolutely!" Li Ji pointed to all the soldiers under the stage of this school, and said in a sad voice: "These are all soldiers and horses brought out by me personally, and they have experienced a hundred battles with me, and they are all great soldiers." Today, I, Li Ji, have officially entrusted them all to you! ”
Li Ji's words are not worthy of the earth-shattering.
Du He was blindfolded on the spot, and could hardly believe his ears: ? Entrust me? Give me these battle-hardened teams? Is there really such a good thing?
He didn't believe it, he didn't believe it too much, he reached out and plucked his ears, and after making sure that his ear holes were indeed not plugged with earwax, he said, "Can you say it again, I didn't hear clearly." Ah, no...... It's not that I didn't hear clearly, my ears are easy to use, but I didn't dare to believe it. ”
Li Ji was amused by his appearance, and said with a smile: "You heard it right, and now you are a general of Zuo Weiwei, and you can command 10,000 people." Now you have only 5,000 men and horses, and you need to make up for them. My 5,000 direct troops can just fill this number. ”
The Tang Dynasty's Twelve Guards system was the crystallization of the Sui and Tang Dynasty military systems, which integrated the forbidden soldiers and the government military system into one, and was the institution in charge of the capital guards.
Zuo Weiwei, to which Du He belongs, has one general, one general, and two generals. The general is vacant and there is no one to hold the post. Therefore, the general is in charge, assisted by the general, and assisted by the rest of the generals, Changshi, and the military staff.
Du He was the general in the second column, and the other was in charge of Zuo Weiwei's 10,000 soldiers and horses. Therefore, Du He still has 5,000 soldiers and horses to lead, and Li Ji, as the general of Zuo Weiwei, can not only mobilize the two generals under his command, but also control 5,000 personal guards subordinate to him.
Li Ji's move was to transfer his personal guards to Du He, so that he could replenish the number of dissatisfaction, and leave the excess amount to the new general.
Du He was stunned, remembered Li Ji's identity, and suddenly realized that he was dealing with the aftermath, and now he is already the secretary of the military department, and the secretary of the military department is in charge of the military department, and he is the chief executive in charge of all [***] affairs. Although this officer is the number one commander of the military generals and can command and mobilize the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses, he can't be in charge of the troops.
So Li Ji plans to entrust his soldiers to a trustworthy person before leaving!
