Li Sijing also showed no weakness, and was about to sneer at each other, but when he saw Xue Nemeng, he slapped the case and said angrily: "Shut up for me, I came to you to discuss things, not to listen to your quarrels." ”

Xue Ne was furious, and Li Sijing and Cui Xuandao had no choice but to give up.

Xue Ne looked at Li Kailuo: "I don't know what General Li Kailuo has?" ”

Li Kailuo was originally a Khitan chieftain. During the reign of Wu Zetian, the Tang Dynasty was attached, and the official was General Zuo Xiaowei, and he was named the Duke of Jijun. In the Battle of Lengchen, Li Kailuo was ordered by Sun Yan to send more than 20,000 troops, divided into three armies to attack the Xi Department and the Khitan coalition army. After the defeat of the Battle of Lengchen, Sun Yan and Zhou Yiyi were captured, and Li Kailuo led the remnants of the army to defeat back. Originally, Li Kailuo could not have been defeated this time, but considering that he had combat experience with Xi and Khitan, Xue Ne named him to go with the army.

Li Kailuo listened to Xue Ne's question and hesitated not knowing how to answer.

At this time, the Chinese army came to report: "Governor Dadu, the Luzhou regiment is only fifty miles away from the camp!" ”

Xue Ne listened, and didn't care about asking Li Kailuo again, so he hurriedly got up and said, "The four of you will go with me to meet the Luzhou group training!" ”

"Metropolitan Governor, I heard you right, you are a member of the third rank of the dynasty, what kind of group training are you going to personally meet?" Li Sijing's eyes widened.

Not only Li Sijing, but even Cui Xuandao, Li Kailuo and Wang Haibin were full of puzzled looks.

There is also a reason why they are puzzled.

The Tang army is mainly composed of three parts, the most important of which is the government soldiers, that is, the Zhichong Mansion. The Inner Mansion refers to the five mansions and three guards to which the left and right guards belong and the three mansions and three guards to which the left and right guards belong to the East Palace. In addition, they are all foreign provinces. The guards of the inner palace were all the descendants of officials of the fifth rank and above, while the guards of the outer palace were mainly the children of wealthy families, and the guards of the inner and outer provinces served as the emperor's guards. Like Li Sijing and Li Kailuo, these soldiers are all government soldiers.

Outside the government soldiers. There is also Guan Jian. In the border areas, there are border defense organizations such as the army, the garrison, the city, the town, and the garrison, and the border army is placed to defend it. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the border soldiers were replaced by government soldiers in turn, and they were rotated every three years. Subsequently, each military town could recruit soldiers from among its own soldiers and customers, depending on their own circumstances. Those who voluntarily serve the border for a long time shall be exempted from taxation for many years. If the family members are willing to go to the border together. Issued by the government to the fields and houses, this kind of recruited border soldiers are called guanjian. Most of the Dingzhou soldiers brought by Cui Xuandao belonged to Guanjian.

Besides. It's regimental training. The regimental training is mainly recruited into the army by the state capitals, and they are not registered in the regular army; they are given personal rations and pickles during their service; they are assisted in the defense of the territory or cooperate with the operations of the officials and towns of the feudal towns; they are not separated from production for a long time, and they are immediately repatriated to their hometowns after the military mission is completed.

The regimental training is not a regular army, and the combat effectiveness is very limited, and when there are war regimental training soldiers who are recruited for the battle, all armies use them as coolies to transport heavy loads. Because of this. The status of regimental training can be imagined. I don't know what Xue Ne committed today. He actually had to go to Luzhou to meet the regimental training in person.

Xue Ne didn't bother to explain to them, and walked straight out of the tent. The remaining four, you look at me, I look at you, stomped their feet and followed Xue Ne.

Xue Ne and the others took their respective guards and greeted them for more than ten miles, and Xue Ne stopped his horse: "Okay, let's wait here!" ”

Li Sijing stepped forward and asked, "The Metropolitan Governor." Where did this Luzhou group drill come from, I want you to welcome it in person. ”

"You're right. This Luzhou group training is really promising! Do you want to know? Xue Ne didn't reply.

"Yes, please make it clear to the General!"

"Your Majesty was expelled from Beijing by Empress Wei when Emperor Zhongzong was Emperor, do you know where he went?" Xue Ne asked.

"I went to Luzhou!" As soon as Li Sijing finished answering, he suddenly reacted, and he asked suspiciously: "Could it be that this Luzhou group training has something to do with Your Majesty?" ”

Xue Ne nodded and said: "It's not only related, it's very related, this Luzhou group training was established by His Majesty's personal order." ”

Li Sijing suddenly realized: "No wonder the Metropolitan Governor wants to greet it in person!" ”

"You're wrong, you all know Pontura, and I'm not the kind of person who likes to be sent. If it were just because this Luzhou group exercise was established by His Majesty's order, I wouldn't have come to pick it up. ”

"Could there be another reason?"

Xue Ne said mysteriously: "I came to greet me because this Luzhou regiment training envoy has me and the old, and this person also has a great background." ”

Cui Xuandao also asked curiously on the side: "I don't know who this Luzhou regimental training envoy is!" ”

Xue Ne didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly: "Lantian King Li Tao!" ”

"Huh? It's him? Several people were stunned.

……

Li Sijing's personal soldiers reported: "General, ten miles ahead, I found a scout appearing!" ”

"Oh?" Li Sijing smiled dumbly and said: "This is the first time I have heard that this regiment can send scouts out of the training regiment. ”

Speaking of this, Li Sijing said to Xue Ne: "Metropolitan Governor, how about I go forward and see?" ”

Xue Ne nodded and said, "Go ahead, be polite when you see King Lantian, he is not a master to be messed with!" ”

"Yes! Grand Governor! Li Sijing agreed, and roared away with hundreds of cavalry.

……

A group of men and horses marched on the grassland in an orderly manner, looking at the costumes and armor, there is no doubt that it is the army of the Tang Dynasty, which is different from the ordinary army of the Tang Dynasty.

The main body of the procession consisted of hundreds of four-wheeled carts, each drawn by two or four healthy horses, accompanied by several young and strong men. Although these men were dressed in uniform black soap coats and had a very beautiful appearance, they had no practical defensive significance, as they did not have any armor or weapons.

Quite different from these men were the cavalry marching around the cart, about seven or eight hundred people, most of them fifteen or sixteen years old. They were dressed in bright armor and had a sash to protect their heads, and the scarbs were decorated with necks that hung down to the back of their shoulders to protect their necks. The left and right breastplates are centered in the center of the longitudinal bundle of armor, and there is a round guard on the left and right, the shoulders are covered with shawls, and the arms are covered with arm guards; Waist tie, under which there are two knee-length skirts to protect the thighs. In addition to the bright light armor, there is also a cloak.

At the front of the procession, two men were slowly walking side by side on horseback.

One of the young men in white smiled and said, "Old Wang! How does it feel to be on the march and fighting in a war that is not comparable to the days you spend drinking and drinking? ”

The man named Lao Wang was a middle-aged man with a big belly, and he sighed: "King Lantian, to be honest, I was really not used to it at first, but now it's okay." Not only is the stomach small, but the food is also fragrant, the sleep is also fragrant, and some of the original problems are gone! ”

The two people who spoke were Li Tao and Wang Hufeng.

Why Wang Hufeng appeared here, this has to start from Chang'an. Wang Hufeng was repeatedly defeated by Fan's hands, and after thinking about it, he finally understood that if he didn't cooperate with Fan, in a few years, he would inevitably be swallowed by Fan's to the point that there was not even a bone residue left. After thinking about it, he went to find Li Tao, but Li Tao didn't accept him, but told him a story and asked him to figure it out and come back.

Just when Wang Hufeng couldn't figure it out, Li Tao took the initiative to come to the door, and the two talked for a long night. Wang Hufeng joined Fan's firm on the second day, and a month later, Wang Hufeng completely disappeared from Chang'an. Just when the people of Chang'an were talking about Wang Hu Feng's sudden disappearance, no one expected him to suddenly appear in the border of Danzhou. (To be continued......)
