Because of the light snow for several days, now that the sun is out, the city of Beisha is wet everywhere.

Xin Yun touched her stomach and opened her mouth towards the sun in the sky. It is said that the Qi refiners of the Tang Dynasty can do Bigu, as long as they open their mouths to the sun and inhale, they can not be hungry. Xin Yun was very envious of this skill of the Tang Qi Refiners, but if he could follow his wishes, he would rather not have this ability, as long as he could eat enough.

Looking at the rice altar that had bottomed out, he sighed, tightened his belt, and was still ready to go out to see. Didn't I hear someone shouting outside, saying that the Tang army entering the city and the defenders of the city were going to have a school competition, and the project of the competition was a tug-of-war, with 50 people on each side; Then there is the race, which includes 100 steps, 400 steps, and 5,000 steps; The finale is football, a polo variant that has become popular in recent years. Since you can't find any work, go to the school yard to see the excitement, at least bask in the sun there, and you can pass the time of hunger.

As a result, as soon as he pushed open the door and came out, he saw several soldiers leading an officer over.

As soon as those soldiers saw Xin Yun, they pointed and said, "This is it."

Xin Yun was stunned, turned around and ran, he ran fast, and in the blink of an eye, he ran far away. The officer watched from behind and was happy: "Sure enough, it's a Scud, hey, Hugh Run, if you commit a crime, I want to take you"

When the officer shouted this, Xin Yundu ran out of nearly ten zhang, slowed down when he heard the words, looked back and said, "Don't take me...... What is the value of the military master? ”

"I heard that you were a fast runner, so I came to ask you for a little favor." The officer grinned.

Xin Yun looked at a few military men and said indignantly: "You poor people are just gambling with you on weekdays, why do you want to harm me?" ”

It turns out that Xin Yun is a good gambler, and often gambles with these soldiers, and his gambling products are okay when he is gambling, but when he comes to the last handful, if he loses, he will inevitably repay the debt, and he will run away, and the soldiers can't catch up, so his reputation for being good at running is out.

"It's good to find you, how can I say that it harms you?" The soldiers smiled and said: "It's for you to go and compare with the guys from the capital for us, aren't you the best at running, I remember that I chased you around the city once and didn't catch up, and the 5,000-step run is none other than you."

"If you don't run, don't run, it's not something to mess with, if you offend, my life will be lost." Xin Yun heard this and shook his head like a rattle.

The officer also smiled: "It's not easy to mess with people from the capital, so let's mess with it?" Those who come from the capital will eventually return to the capital, and if you don't protect it, you won't want to stay in Beisha City."

"Exactly, exactly, this guy owes me five cents last time, and he hasn't given it yet, so he just went to copy his house and see if he could copy it back."

All the sergeants coaxed, Xin Yun hesitated for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, just run, but you have to agree, if Tang Jun is to blame, you have to protect me"

"As long as you have the ability to win, don't say protect you, the reward is there. Also, now we are also the Tang Army, you have won, make up for a military membership, and in the future, you will follow me to eat and drink spicy food, two meals a day, which can always make you have a round belly"

Xin Yun was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again: "Be a soldier and eat food...... My mother is going to starve to death...... No, no. ”

He stopped, but the sergeants continued to walk, and suddenly accelerated, pinching him, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "It's done, this time you can't run away"

Xin Yun was immediately annoyed: "It turns out that you lied to me"

"I don't lie to you, I don't lie to you, but if we don't catch you, we won't be able to catch up if you run away" A military man said with a smile: "You just don't want to join the army, as long as you run, you won't be able to benefit from it."

Xin Yun blinked his eyes, but he didn't believe it in his heart. He hesitated, then said, "I'm hungry and can't run." ”

"You can't run so fast," the officer snorted, but then added, "Take him to the army, and I'll have someone prepare food for him."

Xin Yun was taken to the barracks, and the food was quickly served, and when he saw that there was still meat, Xin Yun suddenly felt as if a hand was about to stretch out his stomach and grab the meat into his belly. However, after eating a piece of meat, he suddenly stopped and hesitated.

"Fang Cai is still like a starving ghost, why don't you eat it now?" The officer asked.

At this question, Xin Yun's tears began to roll down, and then he left his seat and bowed: "As long as there is food, it is enough, ask the official to send someone to return this meat and vegetable to a certain family, so as to serve a certain old mother...... A certain incompetent, the old mother has not known the taste of meat for half a year"

The officer was stunned for a moment: "You are a filial son...... Rest assured, in the future, Beisha City will return to the Tang Dynasty, I heard that Ye Senjun will also implement Yongye Tian in Beisha City, and the fields of Goguryeo nobles such as the Quan family will be divided, you can get twenty acres of land, and it will not be too difficult for your mother to eat meat in the future."

Seeing that Xin Yun still didn't get up, the officer scolded, and then asked people to wrap the plate of meat and vegetables in oiled paper and send it to Xin Yun's home. Xin Yun got up at this time, blinked his eyes, and saw that this officer was easier to speak, so he asked tentatively, "What General Fang Cai said is true?" ”

"Naturally, it's true, what are you doing, everyone is in the capital, but the fields are divided in May" The officer snorted: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, as soon as the hour comes, you will have to run for us"

Xin Yun gobbled up the food, touched his stomach, and felt a little supportive. Fortunately, instead of running right away, he can rest for a while.

However, he did not rest for long, and he was driven to a clearing on the edge of the school grounds. There were dozens of people gathered here like him, Xin Yun's eyes swirled around everyone, hoping to see acquaintances, but he didn't expect to see a person for him, but it was a blacksmith in the city.

There were only two blacksmith shops in Beisha City, and the blacksmith Xin Yun saw was one of the younger ones, named Qiu Tuo, who was only in his early thirties this year, and because of his ironwork, he had a strong body and infinite strength. But this guy has always been honest, and he looked worried at the moment, and when he saw Xin Yun coming over, he just glanced at it and lowered his head.

"Lao Qiu, why are you here too?"

"Let me come to tug-of-war, they all say that I am powerful...... Alas, it is also wrong not to think about strength. ”

"Ha Luha, the same, I was called to run, and I was given the five thousand steps... Tsk, it's not fifty steps, and I don't know how to run. Xin Yun smiled bitterly: "I took care of a full meal...... Hey, who's over there? ”

While they were chatting, they saw someone coming over there, and General Luo Jiuhe, a well-known general in the city, accompanied a young man. The young man was dressed in a green robe, his expression was relaxed, he was chatting and laughing with Luo Jiuhe, and he seemed to be a little higher than General Luo.

"Who's that?" Xin Yun asked with some curiosity.

"That's Ye joined the army, the one who came with Tang Jun." Someone replied in a low voice.

Xin Yun smacked his tongue suddenly: "It's the one who cut Gao Yincheng?" Tsk, I can't see it, such a delicate and pretty little gentleman, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, ......"

He hadn't read a book, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of any words to describe Ye Chang, but Ye Chang's appearance really gave him a great shock.

Seeing him approaching, an officer ran over and shouted, "Why don't you line up quickly to welcome Ye into the army?" ”

Xin Yun and Qiu Tuo were a little confused, not knowing what to do, and then saw that the people around them stood up one after another, and the two of them also learned to stand up.

Ye Chang looked at these people who were picked out with a smile, and after a glance, he knew that some of these people were not sergeants, and they were probably pulled out temporarily.

It seems that their own incentives are really effective, and the Beisha Army must also show real strength.

"What's your name?" When passing in front of Xin Yun, Ye Chang suddenly stopped and asked him with a smile.

Xin Yun was at a loss, looking left and right, but he didn't know who had the best idea. He was a little panicked, and the officer next to him glared at him and said, "Ye Senjun asked you, but you still don't answer?" ”

"Little ...... The villain's cheap name is Xin Yun......"

Xin Yun ...... Fortunate...... It's a good name. Ye Chang Ha laughed, and then said, "How old is this year?" ”

"Twenty-five." Xin Yun replied cautiously.

"How long have you been in the army?" Ye Chang asked again.

This question stumped Xin Yun, he wanted to say that he was forcibly pulled, but he also knew that this matter could not be exposed. After a long time, he said, "Three...... Three years. ”

"Three years?" Ye Changhe smiled and patted him on the shoulder, but didn't say anything more.

Luo Jiuhe turned his face sideways and looked at the officer with a very stern expression. Like Ye Chang, he also saw that Xin Yun could not be a soldier at all, let alone a soldier who had been a soldier for three years, and this must be the ghost of those officers under him.

The officer avoided Luo Jiuhe's gaze, Ye Chang saw that Luo Jiuhe didn't follow, turned around and said hello, Luo Jiuhe was about to say something, but Ye Chang waved his hand, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The people below are competitive, that's a good thing, if the soldiers are not competitive, then they don't have a sense of honor, and honor is even more important to soldiers than victory."

Luo Jiuhe was a little stunned, Ye Chang's words were very meaningful, and he couldn't think through it for a while.

Even if a soldier without a sense of honor can win, it will not last long, and a soldier with a sense of honor, even if he fails for a while, will eventually overtake him.

Ye Chang's original intention was to completely solve the idea of the defenders of Beisha City, at least to change them from combat troops to non-combat auxiliaries, but now he changed his mind, thinking that they might still have combat effectiveness

When they arrive at the school grounds, it means that the game is about to begin. Cloth tapes have been used to separate the venue from the auditorium, and some soldiers have presided over here. Ye Chang and Luo Jiuhe boarded the temporary viewing platform and looked over there.

After a while, I saw a person trotting over, but it was Nan Jiyun.

Nan Jiyun was dressed in military uniform, and he didn't run fast, so he saluted when he arrived at the viewing platform: "Guarding the envoy, the whole army has been assembled, please give an order"

Ye Chang raised his hand to his eyebrows, although the people around him were surprised by this action, but there was a smart person who knew that this was Ye Chang's gift. After returning the salute, Ye Chang said loudly: "Start"

Nan Jiyun saluted again, stood solemnly, turned around, and trotted out. Luo Jiuhe had also seen Nan Jiyun, and knew that he and Ye Chang were sworn brothers, but in front of the army, he looked at it at a glance, and he couldn't see that the relationship with Ye Chang was extraordinary.

This gave Luo Jiuhe a deeper understanding of Ye Chang's governance of the army: strict.

He was pondering this, when suddenly, he heard a thunderous drink.

It was the Lushun army outside the school field, I don't know when, they had already gathered outside the school field, and after Nan Jiyun went, they didn't know what order was given, and they shouted at the same time.

Then they began to march, and Luo Jiuhe noticed that the march of the Lushun army was different, their weapons were not carried on their shoulders, but were held on their chests, ready to attack. They were lined up in a straight line, almost in a straight line, and even the size of their strides was almost average.

The training of officers and soldiers in the Tang Dynasty also pays attention to the formation of queues, but it is by no means the same as what Luo Jiuhe saw at this time. Luo Jiuhe knew that the five hundred people who entered the school for inspection were the first batch of so-called Lushun guards, that is, the real regular army in Ye Chang's hands, but they were only trained for half a year

Half a year of full-time practice, can you train such a unit?

Luo Jiuhe felt incredible, he seemed to see that on the battlefield, such a disciplined army was enough to crush any opponent with a comparable number of people, no matter who it was, it could only collapse in front of it.

Maybe it's just a show......

Thinking this in his heart, he carefully looked at each of the people in this army, but found that all of them had ruddy faces and high expressions. When they walked to the viewing platform in unison, under the order of Nan Jiyun, they all raised their weapons and saluted to the viewing platform, and shouted "Wansheng" in unison.

The sound was uniform, and the tremors buzzed all around. On the school field, which was still a little noisy, those people who watched the excitement were silent at this time.

Ye Chang's eyes circled around the school grounds, and he was very satisfied with this effect. After entering the city, he first shocked everyone, and then slowly pacified the people, which was more conducive to consolidating his control over Beisha City.

"It's really amazing...... Luo Jiuhe muttered, in Lushunjun, he seemed to see something amazing, but for a while, he couldn't say what it was.

After the Lushun army finished, they came to the west of the school field and formed a phalanx, waiting for the Beisha City army, which was also singled out. Compared with the Lushun Army, the Beisha City Army, which was originally self-conscious, has simply become a flock of dehaired chickens.

Even they themselves felt depressed, and when they looked at the Lushun army, their eyes were somewhat jealous.

"Ye joins the army in the art of training, and Liaodong is unparalleled." Luo Jiuhe gave Ye Chang a thumbs up and said, there is a difference if there is a contrast, he now sees some differences in the Lushun army, that is, he is more confident. In other words, Lushun Army has a strong "sense of honor", and this feeling makes them completely different.

"Let's look at the tug-of-war, Ye Chang said with a smile."
