In the afternoon, Zhang Xuan found Sima Deheng, the chief general of the military government, and as soon as he entered the big tent, Sima Deheng greeted him with a smile and said: "General Zhang came just in time, and I was about to look for you." ”

"What is General Sima looking for me?"

"Come on! Come! Sit down and talk. ”

Sima Deheng warmly invited him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that some officers have grievances in their hearts and are afraid of the general, so they come to me and cry." ”

Zhang Xuan immediately understood that it must be for the noon meal, in fact, since the morning, the officers and soldiers have eaten together, breaking the privileges of the officers, and naturally some people will be dissatisfied.

Sima Deheng has regarded Zhang Xuan as the same front, Zhang Xuan killed three team members yesterday, drove away Wang Zhiguo, and made Sima Deheng happy, the enemy's enemy is a friend, since Zhang Xuan has offended Ma Xunwu, it is his Sima Deheng's comrade-in-arms.

Zhang Xuan is also a person with a backstage, if he can join forces with him, why can't he squeeze Ma Xunwu out of the Twenty-Seven Mansion?

Sima Deheng saw that Zhang Xuan had woken up, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said seriously: "My brother is willing to share weal and woe with the soldiers, in fact, I don't object at all, although I can't do it, but I can understand my brother's mood."

But what? Officers also have their interests, and they are also willing to follow the elder brother to strengthen training and strictly abide by military discipline, which is not easy, but the elder brother has deprived them of the last bit of interest, and they will definitely have a little idea. ”

Zhang Xuan sneered in his heart, but it was a pity that his appointment was a step late, and the officers were all appointed by Sima Deheng and Ma Xunwu first, so they dared to skip the level to complain, these officers and themselves are not of the same mind. Sooner or later, they'll have to be cleaned up.

Zhang Xuan remained silent, smiled and said, "Since I have already sued General Sima, it seems that I can't change it!" ”

"Nope! No! No! ”

Sima Deheng hurriedly explained: "The general misunderstood what I meant, I don't want to interfere beyond the level, let alone protect your subordinates." I'm just reminding you that everyone understands the weal and butter of soldiers, but not everyone can do it, and I admit that I can't, General Zhang, it's very important. Don't make the officers upset, you know what I mean? ”

"I understand what General Sima meant, I am also here to solve this matter, and I plan to send people out to fish and hunt to solve the problem of lack of meat."

Sima Deheng shook his head. "I'm afraid I can't agree, there is an order from above, it is strictly forbidden for soldiers to leave the barracks without authorization, since General Zhang is strict with military regulations, he should also understand this."

"What if I use a workaround?"

Zhang Xuan whispered a few words to Sima Deheng, Sima Deheng pondered for a moment, if this is the case, maybe he can agree. Thinking of Zhang Xuan's special identity again, Sima Deheng finally nodded, "Okay! Be careful yourself. Don't get caught from above. ”

．．．．．．．．．．

Before dawn the next day, the drums beat again, this time only two hundred, and as soon as the drums sounded, the soldiers in the tents swarmed out and rushed towards the school grounds.

Yesterday's training was still hard. But it wasn't as scary as the stand-up training the day before yesterday, and I actually drank broth at noon and night. It really surprised and delighted the soldiers.

Although it is only a small broth, it seems to be not enough to worry about. But it is the finishing touch, this is the combination of grace and power, rewards and punishments, the Lord will be willing to share weal and woe with them, invisibly, Zhang Xuan's prestige in the hearts of the soldiers has been established.

Zhang Xuan still stood on the wooden platform with his hands in his hands, silently watching the soldiers line up quickly, more neatly and quickly than yesterday, and full of energy, the previous decadent atmosphere was swept away, he nodded secretly in his heart, who said that they are all incorrigible bandits and rabble, as long as they are strictly trained, they can also become elite troops.

At this time, the officer on duty rushed over and saluted Zhang Xuan and said, "General Qiyu, all the soldiers have been assembled, and no one in the hundred drums is late!" ”

"Do you have all the kettles?"

"I've brought it all!"

Zhang Xuan stepped forward and said loudly to more than 1,000 soldiers: "I think everyone already knows, from today onwards, we will change the training method, carry out a forty-mile rapid march every morning, and return to the camp in the afternoon for combat training, and now leave the camp!" ”

All the soldiers had been informed last night, and the soldiers began to run in a line to the outside of the barracks, five people in a row, in a neat and orderly procession, at the gate of the barracks, several large baskets of bread had been placed, each of them picked up two, and ran to the outside of the barracks gate.

At this time, the sky was not yet dawn, the field was dark, more than 1,000 soldiers ran north along the banks of the Sanggan River, the Sui army Xiaoguowei generally did not allow such marching training, mainly because they were afraid that the soldiers would take the opportunity to escape, and the soldiers of the Yingyang Mansion who went to Liaodong fled very seriously, so that the military department had to order that except for the soldiers who purchased materials, the rest of the soldiers were forbidden to leave the camp.

However, Zhang Xuan's marching training was approved by the main general Sima Deheng, in fact, Sima Deheng and Zhang Xuan took the risk together, once the soldiers fled, both of them will be held accountable, Zhang Xuan also believes that his soldiers will not flee, he is willing to take this risk.

The soldiers ran northwest along the sparkling Sanggan River, the night breeze was cool, and every soldier was in good spirits, Jang Hyun did not ride a horse, he ran with the soldiers.

After running for about five miles, thirty logistics soldiers left the team with fishing nets, they had another task, they were responsible for catching fish on the Sanggan River, these soldiers were carefully selected by Zhang Xuan, all of them grew up by the river, and had high fishing skills.

In addition, Zhang Xuan himself paid for it and ordered people to buy hundreds of fat sheep, slaughtering 30 sheep every day, with fish and meat, which greatly improved the soldiers' diet.

The forty-mile journey is not long, it is only equivalent to a half marathon, because there is also military formation and martial arts training in the afternoon, and Zhang Xuan does not want the soldiers to be too tired, and the training needs to be gradual and step by step to increase the intensity.

Jaang-hyun marched and ran with the soldiers in the front rows, and in order to boost morale, he smiled and said to the soldiers around him: "Let's talk about it!" What is the name, where is the hometown, what specialties are in the hometown, to put it simply. ”

He pointed to a burly soldier and said, "Start with you!" ”

"General Qiyu"

"It's not about telling me, it's about everyone!" Jang Hyun interrupted him with a smile.

The soldier scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "My name is Wu Dazhi." I think everyone knows me, a native of Zou County, Qi County, and I have a big meat pancake in my hometown, smeared with sweet sauce and garlic, that fragrant! In addition, I forgot to say it. I stayed in Changbai Mountain for three years. ”

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Xuan smiled: "Don't stop, next!" ”

"My name is Luo Gang, a native of Yuncheng County, Dongping County, and my hometown is close to Juyeze, everyone knows it. The most famous is the bighead silver carp in Junozawa, which is made in a soup made with fish heads, and it is extremely delicious. ”

"My name is Li Wensong, a native of Qufu County, Lu County, and there is nothing else in my hometown. It's just that there are many readers, and the old master's hometown, so I also took a talented name, but in fact, I don't know a single big character. ”

Everyone laughed again, and someone shouted: "General, introduce yourself!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled: "Everyone heard clearly, everyone knows my name, so I won't say more." I am from Chang'an, and Chang'an produces beautiful women, but unfortunately I haven't seen a beautiful woman in Chang'an. ”

"Why hasn't the general seen the beauty of Chang'an?"

"I left Chang'an before I was a year old! Who remembers what happened back then. ”

The crowd burst into laughter. Zhang Xuan said loudly: "Next!" ”

The forty-mile march was spent in laughter and laughter, and when they returned, dozens of baskets of fresh fish had already been placed on the side of the road, and the soldiers were overjoyed, loaded the baskets into mule carts, and followed them to the camp.

．．．．．．．．

Time flies. Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, and as the heat of the summer heat ended. Morning and evening began to cool down.

Since Zhang Xuan dismissed Wang Zhiguo on the first day of his employment, Zhang Xuan also heard that Wang Zhiguo continued to serve as a lieutenant in the second battalion. However, they did not disturb the water of the well, and they did not pay attention to the meeting when they met.

However, Ma Xunwu smiled every time he saw him, and he did not withhold the military rations of the third battalion, this abnormal behavior made Zhang Xuan a little vigilant.

In the afternoon of that day, Liu Ling, who went to the military headquarters to deliver the documents, hurriedly found Zhang Xuan, "General, I heard something. ”

Jag Hyun was writing a training summary in the big tent when he stopped writing and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard that the Holy Lord agreed to the request of the great general, and is ready to transfer 20,000 people from the Xiaoguo army to join his front army."

Zhang Xuan frowned, how could he not know about this, and he asked again, "Is it something that just happened?" ”

"It's been two days, and it is said that only the first fifteen military governments have a share, and the later military governments will not be transferred, so we have no news here, but the other military governments are in a mess, and everyone is vying to go to the front army, but I heard that General Yuwen refuses to agree."

"Why don't you say yes?"

"Because the people who are transferred away are all elites, it is equivalent to returning to the general, of course General Yuwen refuses to agree."

Zhang Xuan has also heard some sayings that this attack on Goguryeo, the former army can enjoy double merits, and the military salaries and rewards are also doubled, which is very tempting for the soldiers, so many people are willing to join the front army to protect the children.

But since he didn't get the news, it means that he didn't have his own share in the transfer of Xiaoguo Army to join the former army this time, which made Zhang Xuan a little disappointed.

But Zhang Xuan noticed another piece of news behind it, and he asked: "Isn't Yuwenshu in Liaodong, when did he come back?" ”

"I heard that I came back only the day before yesterday, and I came back to report on my work."

Zhang Xuan nodded, Yang Guang postponed his plan to go to Liaodong because of his illness, which made many generals have to run back and forth to report the situation in Liaodong to Yang Guang.

"Thank you for the news of Liu's joining the army, I know it in my heart."

But Liu Ling didn't leave, Zhang Xuan glanced at him and asked a little strangely: "Is there anything else about Liu joining the army?" ”

"General, there's one more piece of news." Liu Ling slurred.

"What's the news?"

"General Sima may have to be transferred."

"What?"

Zhang Xuan was taken aback and asked urgently, "Is the news true?" ”

"I don't know if it's true, I heard this news in the military department, it seems that General Yuwen meant, General Sima wants to mobilize the local Yingyang Mansion, but whether the news is true or not, the humble position cannot be guaranteed."

Zhang Xuan's heart is a little chaotic, there is no wind and no waves, once Sima Deheng is really transferred and Ma Xunwu takes the position, then his life will be sad.

Liu Ling bowed and retreated.

Zhang Xuan stood in front of the tent door and looked at the sky, he was really a little troubled in his heart, if he found a relationship to transfer away, it would not be impossible, for example, he could stay in Youzhou, or even transfer Zhang Xutuo's Flying Eagle Army.

But he was really reluctant to get along with more than 1,000 brothers day and night, and the training finally took effect, how could he be willing to give up.

Zhang Xuan had to sigh slightly, and now he can only take one step at a time. (To be continued)
