- Facts are sometimes outrageous than hearsay. The Song army has indeed entered the territory of Dali, and the tribes along the way have eaten pot pulp to welcome the king's division, and the young and strong children have also enthusiastically joined the army...... These incredible pieces of information are placed on the desks of the big guys, which naturally causes several families to be happy and a few to be worried.

It is the Duan royal family that rejoices.

For the brothers and sisters of the Duan family who dedicated their land to the courtiers, they made a desperate bet on the Song Dynasty, if the hot face was attached to the cold ass, and the Song Dynasty did not pay attention to it at all and did not send troops, it would really be over. But what made them deeply pleased was that the people of the Song Dynasty showed noble qualities, and not only the officials who stayed in Dali personally went into battle to defend Longshou Pass. Deputy Envoy Chen, who left, lived up to his trust, bringing reinforcements from the Celestial Empire at an unimaginable speed.

"Deputy Envoy Chen is really a believer." Duan Silian, who had been worried since Yang Yunxian left Dali, finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Naimei: "Mingyue, it's all about you this time." Because of Wang Shao and others, he has great confidence in Song Jun.

"Harm my brother with a gift, my sister is a sinner." Duan Mingyue's beautiful face flashed with a faint sadness.

"Hey, there's no need to say that," Duan Silian thought about it: "I, the emperor, was just a cover that Gao Zhisheng erected in order to block the mouths of Youyou. Now the Great Song Dynasty named me the king of Yunnan, guarding Dali for generations, although there is no false name of the emperor, but I have really become the king of Dali, to my Duan family, there is a hundred benefits and no harm. He smiled a little happily: "What's more, Gao Xiangguo can't steal chickens and rice, and his mood must be very exciting." ”

Xiangguo Fuzhong. Dressed in purple. Gao Zhisheng, who was wrapped around his waist with a jade belt, had a thick cloud on his face.

Gao Shengtai stood aside and reported in a low voice: "The Yang family is urging again, and we want to respond immediately." ”

"Is Yang Yunxian's head filled with firewood and grass?" Gao Zhisheng snorted angrily and said, "Why should I help him rebel? ”

"It should be my father who has always persuaded him to make peace, so that he always has illusions." Gao Shengtai said: "Now that I heard that the Song army entered Beijing, the Yang family naturally fell ill and rushed to the hospital......

"If you knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?" Gao Zhisheng snorted again and said, "When he listened to me, his Yang family can still be unharmed." It's good now, not to mention the loss of troops. Duan Silian is not interested in talking to him anymore! ”

"There is news that the Tibetan people are not accustomed to the hot and humid weather in Dali in summer, and most of the epidemic in the army has been evacuated. Others said. It was the Tubo people who thought that the losses in the siege were too great, and the gains outweighed the losses, so they were unwilling to help the Yang family anymore. Gao Shengtai said softly: "In any case, the Tubo people are withdrawing their troops, this is a fact. After a pause, he said, "And they plundered a lot along the way, and caused a lot of evil." ”

"That's inevitable, thieves don't go empty, not to mention that the Tubo people are originally robbers." Gao Zhisheng said lightly: "This account must be counted on the head of the Yang family." ”

"Father, what should we do? Are you still alive to protect the Yang family? Gao Shengtai asked softly.

"Alas......" Gao Zhisheng exhaled a long turbid breath and said, "What if you don't protect it?" There is the Yang family. We're safe. If the Yang family is gone, Duan Silian will definitely not let us go if he relies on the Song Dynasty. As he spoke, he looked at his son and said, "But don't worry about this matter, your father will handle it." You hurry back to eastern Yunnan to meet the Song army. A little later, our old book will be cleaned up by them. ”

"Yes." Gao Shengtai responded.

"No matter what method you use, drag them down, don't let them come to Dali City." Gao Zhisheng commanded again: "My father will urge the Yang family to stop fighting as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Gao Shengtai responded again.

In the forward battalion of the Song army. Fan Zhen waited for a night, and finally met Chen Ke, who was leading seven or eight hundred young people back.

"It's a sin to keep the big marshal waiting." After dealing with brute law for a long time, Chen Ke seemed to be contaminated with some wildness, and turned over from the horse. Laughing and walking towards him. ..., "It doesn't matter. Fan Zhen looked at the barefoot young men with their heads wrapped in black cloth, walking towards the camp. I wanted to laugh, but I really couldn't laugh: "Judge Chen, this is recruiting again?" ”

"Yes," Chen Ke nodded and said, "The task of conscripting 30,000 soldiers is too heavy. There is no way, so I can only march as I go. ”

"That can't be indiscriminate." Fan Zhen couldn't hold back and complained: "Don't you know the lesson of recruiting soldiers in Yongzhou? What he said was that four years ago, Yongzhou asked the imperial court to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers to defeat barbarism. The court thought it was a good idea and approved it. Who knew that after a few years of implementation, a huge amount of money and food had been wasted, but the soldiers raised were scattered and their style was sluggish. Even as soon as there is a military operation, the first to send a message to the enemy is not only useless, but on the contrary, it seriously drags down the bandits.

Later, Xiao Gu, the governor of Yongzhou, couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to disband the soldiers, but who knew that it caused a mutiny, and the Zhizhou Yamen was captured by the rebels. Thanks to Wang Han and others, they mobilized a large army to surround the rebellious army, which did not expand the situation. But in the end, in order to appease the people, half of the establishment was retained.

This incident became the laughing stock of officialdom, and after that, no one dared to recruit soldiers. Therefore, Fan Zhen's scalp was numb when he saw the barbarian camp full of people, and he complained in his heart that Chen Ke was young and ignorant.

Chen Ke didn't think about it and said: "Don't worry, the soldiers I recruit will not follow the old path of soldiers." ”

"Where did you get your faith?" Fan Zhen sneered: "Young people are like this, before the accident, they all feel that they are invincible in the world. ”

"The confidence of the lower officials first comes from the careful selection of materials." Chen Ke was not angry, and still smiled and said: "These guys are all strictly selected by me, and they will not disappoint the handsome." ”

"I don't think there's anything special except for the strange appearance and the simple face." Fan Zhen said disdainfully: "I can't even speak Chinese, how can I be a soldier of the Han family?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you look weird, if you change your clothes and shave your head, it's all the same." Chen Ke said with a smile: "As for 'having a simple face and not speaking Chinese', these are two of my conscription conditions. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Fan Zhen said in surprise.

"When I was drafted, I was not under forty except for my physical strength, long hands and long feet. There are also ten don'ts - don't be the only child in the family; Don't stay in Dali or Dasong for more than half a year; Don't speak Chinese; Don't be an official in the stockade; Don't like to brag and talk highly; Don't be white; Don't be too smart; There is no need for prejudice and stubbornness; Don't be faint-hearted; But don't be undisciplined on weekdays. ”

Fan Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said after a while: "Are you picking a son-in-law or a conscription?" ”

"It's all very important, I'd rather lack than abuse!" Chen Ke smiled faintly: "Fortunately, although the requirements are higher, there are still six or seven thousand people selected." ”

"No wonder, the recruits in your battalion, except for their clothes, all look pretty much the same." Fan Zhen said suddenly. Basically, Chen Ke recruited young men with longer hands and feet, stronger muscles, more bright eyes, and more honest looks.

"In a nutshell, it's some people with well-developed limbs, simple minds, honest people, and law-abiding. A stunned person who obeys orders and is not afraid of death. Chen Ke spread his hands.

"Poof......" Fan Zhenqiang couldn't hold back his laughter, but Liu Yue'e behind Chen Ke couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

This smile revealed her daughter's identity.

Fan Zhen was startled at first, and then smiled with relief. The cultivation of the scholar made him pretend that he didn't know anything, and then asked, "What is the benefit of such a soldier?" ”

"Why can the Northwest Army still maintain its combat effectiveness, and the people of the Northwest are simple and simple, and they are ashamed of being cunning and afraid of death. They can succeed their fathers and sons, and their brothers and brothers, and the whole village has become a widow's village, but they still compete to join the army and kill the enemy. Chen Ke said in a deep voice: "In the mainland, everyone likes to work hard, greedy for life and afraid of death. An army of such people is not trustworthy at all. I have witnessed the decay of the Hunan army in Liangguang and Hunan, and I deeply hate the pervasive treacherous habits. So when I recruit soldiers, the first rule is to only recruit honest people who are not opportunistic and not afraid of death as soldiers. This is because facts have proven countless times that on the battlefield there is absolutely no opportunism, and those who are afraid of death will die first, and honest people will not suffer losses after all. ”…,

"It's mostly a reclusive tribe whose people are fierce and agile and natural mountain warriors. What's even more rare is that most of them still retain their simple sentiments. It's like a blank slate, it's all up to us how we teach. Chen Ke smiled and said: "But this requires starting from scratch, and the lower officials are really asking for their own hardships." ”

Fortunately, he is a fan of Qi Dashuai, and he still has some impressions of "Ji Xiao New Book" and "Documentary of Military Training", plus he once asked Di Qing for advice, and Yang Wenguang was nearby for guidance, otherwise he really wouldn't dare to take this porcelain job.

Anyway, he suppressed Fan Fuzi. Fan Zhen no longer opened his mouth and closed his mouth 'No', dropped the sentence 'Let's practice first', and returned to the Chinese army.

Chen Ke sent him to the camp gate, Liu Yue'e revealed her identity, so she was naturally embarrassed to see each other, and she had already hid in the camp tent.

"That, please keep it a secret." Chen Ke said with some embarrassment.

According to the regulations, women are not allowed in the army, but for spoiled civilian officials, this article is useless. Fan Zhen smiled ambiguously and said, "People are not romantic teenagers, but you have to be leisurely." Be careful to work day and night, before you get old. ”

"Dashuai misunderstood," Chen Ke couldn't laugh or cry.

"It was a misunderstanding," Fan Zhen laughed: "We thought that Zhuang Yuanlang was a good man, and he didn't dare to come to your camp." I went back and told them that they should rest assured...... Zhuangyuanlang's good looks are actually women, hahahaha! ”

Chen Ke's face is full of black lines-
