Chapter 479: The Performance of the Military Academy
Zhao Yan had long known from Yang Huaiyu that Yang Wenguang was going to quit the army, and he was also very greedy for this, after all, in comparison, Yang Wenguang, a veteran who had fought all his life, was much stronger than Yang Huaiyu, and he was more suitable for educating juniors in the military academy than him, so Zhao Yan even took Yang Huaiyu out as a bargaining chip in order to lure Yang Wenguang to come to the military academy, as long as Yang Wenguang was willing to come to the military academy, then he would try his best to let Yang Huaiyu return to serve in the army.
Yang Wenguang naturally heard the meaning of Zhao Yan's words, and immediately laughed and said: "Since the county king has said so, then the old man can only sell this old life to the county king!" ”
In fact, even if Zhao Yan didn't say it, Yang Wenguang had already planned to go to the military academy, especially during this time, those students of the military academy were so good in the army, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and Yang Wenguang even called Yang Huaiyu to praise him in private, you must know that he is very strict whether he is in the army or at home, Yang Huaiyu has not been praised a few times when he is so old, so when he came out of Yang Wenguang, he was happy to find the north.
Seeing Yang Wenguang agree, Zhao Yan was also very happy, and immediately chatted with the other party about some things about the military academy students, especially the first class of students in the army, Yang Wenguang also explained the situation he knew to Zhao Yan, and as a result, Zhao Yan, who was listening, also showed a happy or sad expression on his face from time to time.
As the commander of the first army, Yang Wenguang is extremely busy with affairs in peacetime, so it is naturally impossible to put all his energy on the military academy students, and what he knows is only a general situation, so Zhao Yan is not very satisfied after listening to it, it seems that if he wants to understand the specific situation of the military academy students, he still has to rely on himself to take a look.
Because it was getting late, Yang Wenguang finally forced Zhao Yan to have a meal in the Shuaifu. He even wanted Zhao Yan to rest in the mansion for one night, after all, the entire Jingzhou City had been destroyed, and the Shuai Mansion was already the best room in the city. However, Zhao Yan politely rejected Yang Wenguang's kindness. Because he wanted to go to Yang Huaiyu and stay with those military academy students in the second and third sessions. In addition, Yang Huaiyu and the others must know more about the first batch of cadets who entered the army, and he can also hear more news from them.
Seeing that Zhao Yan had made up his mind, Yang Wenguang was not easy to keep, he wanted to personally send Zhao Yan to Yang Huaiyu, but Zhao Yan saw that he was old, and he couldn't bear to let him work anymore, and in the end, Yang Wenguang had no choice but to send his deputy. That is, the general Furukawa sent Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan couldn't refuse again, and when he was on the way, Furukawa told Zhao Yan something about Yang Huaiyu and those second and third military cadets, which was an unexpected gain.
According to Furukawa, Yang Huaiyu and Zhou Dong led the second and third military cadets to follow the army from the beginning, and when they raided Xi'an Prefecture, they were in the rear to observe, and Yang Huaiyu and Zhou Tong also strictly restrained these students and forbade them to enter the battlefield of war. As a result, there was no loss of personnel for these students.
It's just that when they were attacking Lingzhou City, Yang Huaiyu encountered a team of Western Xia people when they were observing outside the battlefield, and as a result, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Fortunately, the number of the other party is not large, and Yang Huaiyu has always asked the cadets of the military academy to be fully armed, especially the firearms such as grenades are equipped with a lot, so after a firearm was thrown out, the other party quickly retreated, Yang Huaiyu and only a few students on their side were injured by arrows, which is nothing at all.
Zhao Yan didn't expect Yang Huaiyu and them to have such an encounter, and he was also scared into a cold sweat at that time, but soon he thought about it again. The cadets of the school are not ordinary young people, they are originally prepared for the battlefield. And accidents are frequent on the battlefield, and no one knows what they will encounter in the next second. Their encounter with the enemy this time may not be a bad thing, at least it can make them feel the cruelty on the battlefield in advance.
In addition, Zhao Yan also learned from Guhe that although Yang Huaiyu did not directly participate in the war, they used another method to participate in this war, for example, whenever there was a big war, Yang Huaiyu would organize the cadets of the military academy to discuss the war, and finally discuss one or several feasible battle plans, and then hand them over to Guhe or Yang Huaiyu for their reference.
Moreover, Furukawa also specifically mentioned that although the main credit for the capture of Jingzhou City this time was that the venture into the city proposed by the reward was to persuade Da Du, but the plan to enter the city and how to persuade the reward after entering the city were all from the hands of the cadets.
Zhao Yan also suddenly thought about it when he heard this, Yang Wenguang seemed to have mentioned it just now, saying that Yang Huaiyu led the military cadets to provide him with a lot of help, but Zhao Yan was anxious to know the situation of those first military cadets, so he didn't ask this question deeply, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"Actually, Brother Huaiyu also participated in this afternoon's meeting, and he also brought two students, and after the end, he told me that he would do his best to write out an attack plan for Xingqing Mansion, and I hope it can help us then, and it is estimated that they will be busy again in the next two days!" Furukawa finally smiled again.
Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile and nod when he heard this, and was very satisfied with the actions of Yang Huaiyu and others. But then he glanced at Gu He again, and asked a little strangely: "General Gu seems to know our military academy very well?" ”
Hearing Zhao Yan's question, Guhe laughed and said: "The king of the county doesn't know, the last general and the elder brother Huaiyu are old acquaintances, and they listened to the orders together under the old capital, but unfortunately he was transferred back to the capital because of family reasons, and later after the military academy opened, he wrote to me and asked me to send the children at home, I was still a little unimpressed at the time, but it was not easy to refute the face of the old brother Huaiyu, so I sent the third son who was the most unsuccessful to the military school and became the second batch of cadets, but I didn't think about it for less than half a year. My unsuccessful son has become even I dare not recognize it, now in Jingzhou City, last year when the military academy re-enrolled, I sent several sons in the family, but only two were admitted, and now it should be regarded as the fourth student. ”
"Haha, I didn't expect General Gu's three children to be in the military academy, so we are very fateful!" Zhao Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and at the same time, he also felt that the bearded general in front of him looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Just as Zhao Yan and the others were talking, Yang Huaiyu and their station finally arrived, only to see that this should have been a large family's house before, but most of the walls outside or the houses inside had been demolished, and only some foundations were left to vaguely see the previous appearance here, but now hundreds of tents have been erected in this dilapidated house, and piles of bonfires are lit in the open space in the middle, and the perimeter of the tent is surrounded by a strong fence. Every now and then, patrolling squads can be seen walking outside.
"Look, the other Song troops who entered Jingzhou City just tied their tents together at will, but only the army of the cadets did not forget to be vigilant in the city, the camp was surrounded by a fence, and there were special people patrolling, it was impossible for others to sneak in!" Furukawa pointed to the military academy camp in front of him and said with an admiring expression, an army can always be vigilant, which reduces the chance of the enemy's sneak attack, and such an army can survive on the battlefield longer.
"Hehe, these are the most basic requirements in a military school, and it's not unusual for them to do it." Zhao Yan tried his best to make a plain look at this time, but he was very proud in his heart, after all, the military school was founded by him, and now he can be recognized by others, especially if the other party is still the parent of a military cadet, which also gives him a sense of achievement.
Zhao Yan and Guhe walked towards the camp gate as they spoke, but before they could get closer, they heard someone suddenly shouting in the darkness in front of them: "Who is it, why did you break into the military academy camp at night?" ”
Hearing the other party's questioning, Zhao Yangang wanted to reveal his identity, but he didn't expect that Gu He next to him was stunned for a moment after hearing it, and then shouted in the direction of the conversation with an angry face: "Stinky boy, get out of here, who do you say Lao Tzu am me?" ”
As soon as Furukawa's words fell, he heard a few suppressed laughter coming from the darkness opposite, and then a squad with spears came out of the darkness, led by a burly young man with a depressed face to Furukawa: "General Gu, this is the barracks, there are only up and down in the barracks, there are no fathers and sons, so please pay attention in the future!" ”
Zhao Yan only understood when he heard this, it seems that the burly young man in front of him should be the third son of Guhe, I didn't expect it to be so coincidental, in addition, Zhao Yan also felt that the other party and the young man behind him were a little familiar, it should have been seen in the military academy before, but Zhao Yan was often not in the military academy, except for the first batch of students, most of the remaining two students Zhao Yan couldn't name them.
Although Guhe also knew that what his son said was reasonable, he still couldn't pull it off, and he snorted coldly and stopped talking, Zhao Yan had to smile and walk up to Guhe's son and others: "Where is Chief Instructor Yang?" The Governor has come to visit you! ”
Furukawa's son and others suddenly saw Zhao Yan appear in front of them, and they were all stunned for a while, and only after a while did they react, and then saluted loudly with a look of ecstasy: "Students see the school governor!" ”
"Haha~, don't be polite, the governor of this school is coming in secret, try not to spread the word, let's talk about it inside!" Zhao Yan also laughed again when he saw the appearance of these students, the military academy is one of his proudest works in the Great Song Dynasty, although he can't stay in the military academy for a long time, but his feelings for the military academy are very deep, and now coming here, for Zhao Yan, it is like returning home.
