The fat man's mood calmed down a little, and he scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "This was fat when I was a child, and my mother asked the learned uncle in the village to name me, and he looked at me and said that he was fat and cute, so he called Qiu Kuan, so the name was settled." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but make fun of him, of course, this was good-natured, and there was no sarcasm.

Liu Yuan asked him with a kind face how many buns he made a day, whether he was married or not, how many plots of land he had at home, how many cows, etc., that amiable appearance, the fat man was so excited that he was almost speechless, Liu Yuan asked him to answer, chatting with such a nobleman, and his heart shouted that his ancestral tomb was smoking.

"Master Qiu, if there are any difficulties, just bring them up." Liu Yuan asked with a smile.

The fat head froze for a moment, and then shook his head again and again: "No, no, the little one is doing well, and the family is fine, General Xie Lu Xie cares." ”

Liu Yuan turned his head and said to Lao Jin: "I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I find that this soldier's food is very delicious, and there is no need to open a small stove for the general in the future, so Liu will eat it with his brothers." ”

"Our pro-soldier team doesn't need to open a small stove, and we can eat with our brothers." Seeing Liu Yuan's statement, Zhao Fu was the first to echo it.

Qian Weiqiang immediately followed and said: "Lao Jin, my share can also be saved, I will follow the general, just eat a big pot of rice." ”

At the beginning, middle-level generals such as Guan Yong and Hou Jun also expressed their attitudes that there was no need to be special, and they had to share weal and woe with the soldiers.

"This" Lao Jin was embarrassed all of a sudden, the country is divided into monarchs and ministers, there are old and young families, and those who also talk about positions and qualifications in this army are like generals and captains, and it is natural in the hearts of soldiers to eat a little better and use a little better. When he said it was canceled, he didn't know what to do.

"That's it, we will all eat together in the future, don't open a small stove, the general is not used to eating, let him tell you, how many people, you can make as many portions." Liu Yuanxiao gave him an idea.

Lao Jin's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly agreed.

Liu Yuan chatted a few more words, and then walked to the school field under the stars holding the moon. While eating with the soldiers, they chatted and showed their image of being close to the people.

"General Liu is so good" The fat head seemed to be in disbelief, a general actually spoke to himself so kindly, and finished talking to himself. The fat man suddenly said with a smug face: "Hmph, the generals all praise the delicious buns I make." In the future, which turtle grandson said that the buns made by my fat head are not delicious. I tore his mouth. ”

"Yes, yes, fat brother, the meat buns you made are the best." The vegetable head who has been giving the fat head a hand said flatteringly.

Several of the leading soldiers also congratulated him with a smile, and only the experienced old golden head frowned and said in a voice that he could only hear: "The general, who is suddenly so sympathetic to his subordinates, either wants the soldiers to sell their lives or buys people's hearts." Well, I guess in the future, these little rabbits will be able to bear it. ”

Night falls, and the waning moon shines on the earth. The evening breeze blows the treetops, the faint starlight appears and disappears in the sky, the flickering firelight is dancing in the darkness, groups of soldiers patrol the camp with neat steps, the soldiers who have trained for a day lie on the bed early when the camp ban begins, and the school field that has been noisy for a day has also returned to calm, this is the night of the barracks.

However, in Liu Yuan's barracks, the lights were bright, and Liu Yuan, Zhao Fu, Qian Weiqiang, Zhang Zhong and other old troops of the Zhenfan Army were gathered around to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Yuan said with a serious face: "You are all my old department, but also confidants, don't say polite words, Liu gathered all the brothers together, that is, to talk about the problem of the Yangwei Army, everyone knows that I have an agreement with General Yangwei, three months later, the emperor will also attend, the results of the comparison may be related to the future of the army, the future of the army is also the future of everyone, so we must always pay attention to it, there is any problem, but it doesn't hurt." ”

After the division of troops, Liu Yuan has not seriously discussed with his subordinates, but since the incident of the fight in the Ambiguous Spring Tower, the relationship between everyone has become much closer, and Liu Yuan also officially regards them as confidants.

Qian Weiqiang hesitated for a moment, but still said it: "General, why do we want to eliminate people?" Isn't it bad to have more people? It's useless, it's good to be cannon fodder to consume the enemy's sharpness, as long as there are people, it's always useful, last time we eliminated 600 people, then we have 600 less available people, and General Cheng is an expert in military training, the fewer people there are, the lower the chance of winning, general, or, cancel the elimination. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone thought that since ancient times, generals would only complain about the lack of soldiers under their command, and do everything possible to increase the number of soldiers, which is like Liu Yuan, the elite soldiers selected, he has to be eliminated again and again, isn't this a blind toss?

Liu Yuan knew the way, and if he didn't convince his subordinates, it was estimated that it would be difficult for them to concentrate their thoughts, so they had to patiently explain to them the way.

"The emperor ordered the establishment of a mighty army, but there are only 6,000 soldiers, so why is there only 6,000 people in the army that attaches such importance to it? Let's think about it, why is there only 6,000 people, and what is the purpose of the emperor's establishment? Liu Yuan turned his head and asked them.

"It must be to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, as for the purpose of the establishment, the general said, it is because of the glorious results achieved by the Zhenfan army, especially the great achievements of the general with new tactics, so he ordered to prepare for the construction of a mighty army." Zhao Fu said without hesitation.

"Yes" Liu Yuan analyzed to them: "Brothers, think about it, why can we achieve such a great record, first of all, we are brave, the soldiers are not afraid of death, and the second most important thing is that we are flexible and mobile, and we can often attack it unprepared, not greedy for merit, not in love with war, once the situation changes, immediately withdraw from the battlefield and preserve our strength, because we have a small number of people, even a cave can hide, on the vast plateau, the Tubo people look for us, like looking for a needle in a haystack, that battle achievements accumulate a lot, so there are such brilliant achievements." ”

Liu Yuan paused and continued: "The Tang Dynasty can be said to be in a turbulent neutral country, after countless bloody battles, showing a number of famous generals, and also training a strong army, and different armies have different temperaments, such as the Xuanjia Army led by the emperor himself, good at bloody battles, winning more with less, the women's army under the former Princess Pingyang, good at flank attacks, support, Li Jiajun under the command of General Li Jing, good at surprise attacks, Cheng Jiajun likes bloody battles the most, let's just say the latest, the Zhenfan army led by General Hou, isn't it good at plateau operations? ”

"What kind of army has it, why do you need to spend so much money and food to train a mighty army? That is to train a different army, which can obtain greater results at a small cost, and at critical moments, has the ability to influence the situation of the battle or even influence the situation of the war. ”

Zhao Fu suddenly realized: "Yes, no wonder the emperor shook his head when he saw General Cheng's training, and pulled the general out after the most reluctance, it turned out that the emperor saw General Cheng's training method, and knew that he understood it wrongly, but it was also right, General Cheng's training method is also a very formal training, and he can't train any special soldiers." ”

Everyone nodded, as if they understood a lot, before the division of troops, everyone had trained with Cheng Yanjin, and his training method was similar to the traditional one, not much difference, it is estimated that the trained Cheng Jiajun is stronger, and there is no qualitative change, while Liu Yuan is different, whether it is training or concept, there are a lot of innovations.

Zhang Zhong asked cautiously, "General, what kind of troops do you want to train?" ”

Liu Yuan thought for a while, and said proudly: "Come without a shadow, go without a trace, always appear in unexpected places of the enemy, give the enemy the most fatal blow, the enemy is frightened, and the prestige is within the four seas, and the enemy is thousands of miles away." ”

When everyone heard this, they all had an expression of fascination: if they became a proud member of it, they would probably be more majestic than the Xuanjia Army.

Zhao Fu said flatteringly: "The general is really far-sighted, and the little one admires." ”

Liu Yuan kicked him, and said helplessly: "Okay, don't be a sycophant, call you here, it's just to work together, how to bring the quality of the troops." ”

"To be honest, in fact, the quality of these soldiers is very good" Qian Weiqiang said with a pertinent face: "They are all selected from various states and governments, especially Guan Yong's more than ten people, they really deserve to be famous, they have famous teachers, conditions, they have been practicing since childhood, and their basic skills are very solid. ”

Zhao Fu nodded and said: "I also agree, they are indeed stronger than us at that time, and there are a few seedlings who are still generals." ”

"Okay, let you find their shortcomings, who let you boast?" Liu Yuan said helplessly: "Now only pick the wrong ones and the ones that need to be improved." ”

Zhang Zhong hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "General, the intensity of the training, the small ones feel that it is enough, if the intensity is increased again, I am afraid that they will be abolished, however, I found that they are not bloody enough, many of them have just been recruited, not to mention the battle, even the blood is not seen, today in the weapons exercise, I let the two fight, but accidentally one was injured, the blood flowed, the injured did not faint, there were two next to them saw the blood, fainted and screamed in fright, the dignified and mighty soldiers, even afraid of blood, really speechless." ”

"Yes, yes, the blood is not enough, and I still need to exercise in the heart."

"The guts are too small, it's better for them to practice their guts, don't dance well here, as soon as they arrive on the battlefield, they will be soft and soft, and it is better to see blood."

"Or, get some beasts, grind the teeth and cut off the claws, it is said that Bai Qi, the god of war of the Qin State, trains his troops in this way, which is very practical."

"You are so sloppy, where do you get so many living beasts, you think they are pigs and sheep."

Everyone was talking, and Liu Yuan suddenly said in a shocking voice: "It's easy to see blood, I have entered the palace to see the emperor, and I have applied to use the heinous death row prisoner to practice my hands, but I want to find a master." ”

Zhao Fu said strangely: "General, do you want a master in that area?" (To be continued......)
