Chapter 22
Looking at the more than 500 people gathered in front of him, Du He showed a moving look.
These people standing in front of him, where are the people, all armed one by one, clearly a well-trained army!
Most of them are in their thirties and forties, and at a glance you can see that all of them are experienced soldiers.
Did all the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty have this level?
Du He's heart was strange, but when he thought about it, he suddenly realized.
Now it has only been ten years since Zhenguan, and it has only been more than ten years since the world is peaceful, these people are between thirty or forty years old, and they are obviously all veterans who have survived the battlefield, no wonder they have such momentum.
One by one, they all stood tall and waited for Du Ho's orders.
In fact, if it weren't for Du He's careful action yesterday, these battlefield warriors who had already put down their weapons for many years would never have picked up their weapons again.
Only soldiers who survive from the battlefield can be regarded as elite, but only soldiers who survive from the battlefield know the horror of the battlefield.
These iron-blooded men are also average.
It's just that the ancients valued righteousness and affection, and Du Ruhui was kind to them, so they were willing to fight for Du Ruhui at the beginning, even if they sacrificed their lives.
Today's Duhe is also average.
Yesterday, Du He met with the bankers and stewards, their status is like that of the village chief, they are all local respected figures, they are responsible for taking care of the people, saying that one is one, and they are very trusted by the people.
Last night, as soon as they returned to their respective villages, they immediately mobilized the people to explain Du He's intentions, and told them about Du He's way of handling affairs.
Yesterday, Du He dealt with the small things in the lives of the people, such as the lack of a well in the east village, the lack of a few horses and a few cows in the west village, or the lack of a certain plot of land for a certain household, and the fact that a certain family was unable to sustain because of the illness of a strong man. Du He has always been generous to the people, so he dug fewer wells, bought cattle with fewer cows, and gave them no land, so he exempted them from taxes if it was unsustainable, and did not care.
But these small things in Duhe's eyes are all big things in the lives of the people.
These veterans saw Duhe treat them like this and care so much about their livelihood. One by one, they re-donned their armor and robes, resharpened their rusty swords, and came to Du He, willingly serving as his guards.
Du He couldn't imagine that he could gather so many brave people, and he was even more ecstatic.
The role of elite soldiers on the battlefield is self-evident, and it is really a great joy to be able to have 500 elite soldiers without much effort.
Looking at these soldiers, Duhe said: "You are all warriors who have survived the battlefield, and your experience is much stronger than that of me, a fledgling who has never been on the battlefield. However, people have expertise. Although I am not as experienced as you, my martial arts are superior to any of you. So, I hope that when you go to the battlefield, you don't think about how to protect me, but how to kill more enemies and how to get more merits. ”
Du He said lightly, and the people below immediately became unconvinced.
Du He was only fifteen years old, and although he was tall, he was a little hairy child in front of this group of ruffians who had rolled on the battlefield.
"Second Young Master, why do you say that we are inferior to you!" A strong man with a big beard shouted.
Du He smiled: "Because I have this self-confidence!" If you don't accept it, let's have a discussion, don't worry, I won't hurt you until the point! ”
Du Ho took a step forward.
The bearded man grinned, and the strong men around him all took a few steps back and formed a half-circle, each looking at Du He with playful eyes.
They are all comrades-in-arms and brothers who have been born and died together. They all know each other, and they all know the abilities and abilities of this bearded man.
The bearded man is called Hong Bearded, because he has a big beard, but no one knows his real name.
Although Hong Dabeard has not been on the battlefield for a long time, his surname is aggressive, and he does the work of a blacksmith, a brute force, extremely big, is a quite good character, on martial arts moves may be a little worse, but on courage is not inferior to those fierce generals on the battlefield. His friends laughed at him and called him a deadly beard.
"Come on!" Du He hooked his fingers and said with a smile: "I don't have the habit of doing it first, you can ask first!" ”
Hong Dabeard shouted: "Second Young Master, today I, Hong Dabeard, will let you know what that arrogant ......" Yelang was arrogant, he couldn't say it, he pulled it out and rushed to Du He.
Hong's bearded momentum was as brave as a tiger, roaring towards Du He, and the posture and body were like a tiger pounced on the lamb.
In the face of such a situation, Du He remained motionless, and some people thought that he was scared stupid, and they each showed a melancholy color; But most of them are still looking at it with curiosity and anticipation! I don't know what Du He is capable of, he is so confident.
Just when the two sides were approaching, I saw Du He's hand suddenly and quickly grab Hong Dabeard's wrist, his body was slightly on one side, his hand was pulled, and his foot was stretched out, and Hong Dabeard's huge body was like a kite off the line, and he plunged into the dirt fiercely, and fell a dog gnawing mud.
Everyone was stunned, where did they think that Hong Dahu did not walk in Du He's hands.
Hong Dabeard got up with a disgraced face, although the fall was not very serious, but it was not light, this injury was nothing to him at all, but he couldn't get over his face, he roared angrily and threw himself at Du He again.
This time, he worked hard!
Du He smiled slightly, and threw Hong's beard to the ground in the same way.
Du He has never learned Tai Chi, but he has learned martial arts, and one method has passed through ten thousand laws, and this Tai Chi can also be used in a way that softly overcomes rigidity.
To deal with a strong man like Hong Dabeard, it is the best choice to deal with it with Tai Chi.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Hong Dabeard was not convinced, and began to use wrestling skills, but he was still cleverly used by Du He to overcome rigidity again and again.
In fact, if he used his fists and kicks, he would not be so embarrassed, but Hong Dabeard only has one tendon in his brain, and what he is best at is wrestling, and he has to compete with Du He in this wrestling.
Even let Du He fall eight times, Hong Dabeard was convinced, lying on the ground and said embarrassedly: "Don't come, don't come, I will take the second young master, and the bones of my Hong Dabeard will be dismantled by the young master. ”
At this time, all the veteran ruffians around him showed a frightened look, and the eyes that looked at Du He were different.
They are all characters who have fought the battlefield, and the most important thing is strength.
Du He easily put down Hong's beard, and he has already shown convincing strength.
"I'm coming!" A man walked out of the crowd!
Hearing him speak, the veteran ruffian, who had been talking a lot, closed his mouth and looked at the man in astonishment.
Du Ziying, who was on the side, frowned, stepped forward and said, "Fan Yuanchen, you don't need it!" ”
Du He motioned for Du Ziying to step back, and knew that the person who came was not a simple character, which could be seen from the fierce murderous aura on his body.
This Fan Yuanchen must be the strongest one among them.
Du He recruited not only a guard this time, but a strong force that could accompany him in the charge, an elite force as powerful as Xuanjia soldiers. Therefore, he must convince this group of people with his strength.
Winning against their strongest one is the most straightforward way!
Fan Yuanchen is also very human, he was once a member of the Xuanjia Army, the deputy general of Qin Qiong, the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, and a well-known general in the Xuanjia Army. It was only because Li Jiancheng was afraid of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's intelligence that he sent assassins to assassinate them many times.
In order to protect Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Li Shimin specially transferred a group of people from the left and right Xuanjia armies to act as Fang Du's guards, so as to make sure that everything was perfect.
Fan Yuanchen also became Du Ruhui's close guard, during the change of Xuanwu Gate, Xue Wanche, the number one brave general under the command of the prince, attacked Xuanwu Gate, Fan Yuanchen was cut by Xue Wanche in the confrontation with Xue Wanche, so he retired and settled in Ruyang.
ps: Yesterday an old friend came, went to karaoke with them to sing, got drunk, and didn't move a word, and today there are only two shifts, I'm really sorry.
Sanjiang recommended it, if there is no special thing next week, it is even more certain that there will be three.
There is a shift at 0:00 tonight.
