On the morning of the next day, Zhu Biao entered the Lion's Head Ridge on the southern outskirts of the county town, which was the last secret camp of the Hedong Army and the place where the Hedong Army was most different from other military areas. Since Zhu Biao came to Hedong, thousands of captives and a large number of bandits from all over Hedong have been taken into this secret camp. As a result, in less than half a year, a large-scale secret camp has been erected in the mountains.

Early in the morning of this day, a team of soldiers and horses drove into Lion's Head Ridge. More than an hour later, there were more than 100 thorns in the secret camp garrisoned by two or three thousand soldiers, and this group of people was pulled into a long dragon by iron chains and ropes, and it can be seen from the clothes on their bodies that there are Han people and Hu people.

This month, it was the left battalion and the right part of Yang Yanzhang's subordinate who entered the secret camp for special training.

"General Li, this is the personnel roster, you sign for it." Duber, who led the team, gave a stern military salute to the leader of the secret camp, and then handed over a booklet, a roster.

Li Xian glanced at the 'human dragon' escorted by Dubo, he was much older than last year. I opened the roster and glanced at it, "One hundred and twenty-seven, a lot!" ”

As the eldest son of Li Huizu, the current head of the Li family, and the father of a beloved son who died in the Nangong family, he really can't accept the sudden change of attitude of the new king and the Yun family.

Tang Wang, Tang Wang, and the Li family are absolutely impossible to work for. So long before Li Yan defected to the Hedong Army, Li Xian and the entire Li family had already been included in Zhu Biao's command.

However, the talent has withered, and the Li family has lost too much and too much in the previous Northern Expedition and the Beiping Rebellion. Moreover, although Li Xian resisted the Tang Dynasty, he did not want to really stand on the opposite side of the imperial court, and when he arrived in Hedong, he could only be responsible for the secret camp of Lion's Head Ridge that was not recorded on the bright side.

"Last month, at the beginning of this month, now, a month and a half has sent a total of three hundred and eighty targets. Five days later, there is the last batch of the year. Duber smiled. put away a signed slip and raised his hand to Li Xian to give another military salute.

At the end of the year, there are more bandits and thieves jumping in Hedong, so the sorting is so fast. Before, it was a batch of January, and many times there were less than 100 people.

"Bring them all here!" After sending off the escort troops, there was no need for Li Xian to greet him in the secret camp, so naturally some people shouted loudly.

One hundred and twenty-seven 'prisoners', who had lost hope or still had hope, entered the school grounds in the secret camp in fear under the escort of the guards of the secret camp.

"Line up! Two in a row. Get lined up! ”

The frightened captives and criminals along the way no longer had the temper of dancing horses and knives in the past, they were frightened and frightened, and hurriedly lined up.

"Who is Zamuta? Stand up. ”

"Little ...... The small ones are. A man who is about the same height as Li Xian stood up, and you can tell from the name that this person is a Hu man.

Zamuta is one of the Hu Riders. Two months earlier, he had been captured during an encounter with the Han cavalry on the border. The Han army's consistent attitude towards Hu cavalry captives was to kill, and Zamuta thought that he would soon die. But he didn't expect that the Han army did not immediately come to cut off his head, but regarded himself as an effort and sent him to work as a coolie in a coal mine in Hedong.

Zamuta is very fierce in the mine, he is with several Hu people who were sent to the coal yard with the same fate, and he usually doesn't use his strength to mine at all. When it came to the points, they would grab some directly from the surrounding area and hand them over in exchange for their necessary food and water. On weekdays, there are evil deeds, and he has long been marked by the supervisors of the coal yard, but this time as a red target, he will definitely not survive!

"I'm ......" Zamuta's heart thumped like a drum. The consciousness in the dark made him feel a murderous intent. However, the Hu people are the Hu people, and he is hostile and discriminatory against the Han people in his bones, and he showed a little cowardice at the beginning. Then he regained his fierce nature. He said, "What's the matter?" Yes. What does this one have to teach? ”

For a dead man. Before the officer could get angry, with a slight wave of his hand, the three guards behind him ran towards Zamuta, one unshackled and handcuffed, and the other two pressed to finish Zamuta. After all was done, he let go, and the last guard casually threw him a knife.

The officer stepped forward, also holding a waist knife in his hand, "Zamuta, today we will compare and compare, life and death are up to fate, fair and just, just look at whose style is tough." ”

Zamuta looked at it for the next week, and those guard sergeants had all retreated, and he had a little bottom in his heart, and squinted his eyes and looked at the officer in front of him viciously, "Han dog, I want to use my grandfather as a whetstone, you are so beautiful." As soon as he raised the steel knife in his hand, his figure flashed and pounced, "Look at the knife." ”

"Let's see how the master fulfills you." The rank of the officer is not high, he is a team leader, but the murderous aura in his eyes is extremely strong, his body is motionless like pouring copper, his hands have been raised, his sword is lying in the air, and the cold light is flowing, like a general who is going on an expedition, looking forward to a bloody battle.

The whole person is on the ground with two feet, motionless, and as stable as a stone.

The man who had been in Zhamta was still outside the zhangyu, but at this time, with a tiptoe and a wave of his arms, he flew up like a big bird, and in an instant he was in front of the officer. The cold light suddenly rose, and the waist knife in his hand flicked in the air, drawing a white arc and slashing at the officer's neck.

This knife castrated extremely quickly, the sword light rose sharply, and a white light seemed to rise in the sky for no reason. Fierce and powerful, he deserves to be the top elite soldier of Hu Qi.

The sword wind was agitated, and the officer didn't seem to dodge, but just shook his body like a flat boat on the sea, swaying lightly in the huge waves, and didn't even move his footsteps, and avoided this ferocious slash.

The blade can be slashed from his side, and Zamuta misses the knife, and immediately returns the knife and slashes horizontally, the speed of the change is fast, the speed is fast, and it can be said that it is experienced, all in the lightning and fire.

But he was fast, the officer was faster, and his body still only shook slightly, and he avoided the knife very calmly. "Slash!" In the midst of drinking, the waist knife in his hand was slashed, and the cold light flashed, and the knife was approaching.

Blood splashed three feet, and Zamuta's head was only hung on his back with a bloody skin, and his severed body rushed out two or three meters by inertia before he fell to the ground.

The officer didn't pay any attention to this, "Where is Sada?" ”

"Knock", but I saw that a big man had collapsed to the ground, "The adults are gracious, the adults are gracious, and the villain's life is spared......"

"Spare your life?" The officer smiled coldly. Looking at the roster in his hand, he said sharply, "Then why didn't you spare my Han family bloodline in the first place?" Come on, hold him down for me. ”

The two guard sergeants yelled and pounced, holding Sada to death.

Sada seemed to see his fate, and struggled to break free from the sergeant's control, while screaming: "Adults spare their lives, villains will not dare in the future, as long as you let go of the little one's life, the little one will be a cow and a horse for you in the future." Be a servant and a slave, never repent, never repent. ”

"This ...... It's the fate of my strong man! The officer's expression was like ice, he raised his waist knife high, and slashed down viciously as soon as he finished speaking.

Burst. Strike!

Blood splattered, heads fell to the ground, Sada bared his teeth and looked hideous, but his head had moved forever, and the captives and bandits who were watching were all terrified, and the formation was suddenly chaotic, lest it would be their turn next. They all scrambled to hide back.

"Stop!"

The officer shouted sharply, and raised the blood-dripping waist knife in his hand, and the prisoners who retreated in terror were suddenly silent, and froze in place like puppets, not daring to move, let alone make noise.

"For the next three months. As long as you cooperate well and sparring seriously, you can spare your life. Now give them the knives and guns. ”

Sima of the right part of the left battalion, who had been lining up for a while, shouted: "Left song, the front capital is out of the ranks!" ”

……

……

Back in the first month of Hedong. Zhu Biao stepped through every county in Hedong and every part of the Hedong Army every day. Start near the county seat. to the entire Hedong counties that followed. It took a whole month to understand and observe the current situation of the entire Hedong Army in detail and meticulously.

These tangible details are not something he can grasp while sitting at home and looking at the system bar, although it is worth the time.

At the same time, the mandarin duck formation, a method of military training, was also popularized in the Hedong Army. In order to make it more convenient for dispatch and command, Zhu Biao directly reformed the military system. The number of men was increased from ten to twelve, so that there were one hundred and twenty men, and the number of soldiers in one song reached six hundred, and the number of soldiers in one section was 1,200, but with the addition of the personal soldiers of the military Sima and the baggage soldiers of the subordinates, the final number was close to fourteen hundred.

Five divisions and one battalion, not counting the direct subordinates of the captain, have 7,000 soldiers in the five divisions alone, which is much more than the original. The captain of the first battalion must not only have personal soldiers and baggage teams, but also clerks, military officers, and medical officers, and the final number reached 7,600 people. Zhu Biao simply added a reserve song to each battalion, with a total of about 400 people, so that a battalion of the Hedong Army would have 8,000 soldiers at its fullest. The sheer number of soldiers alone is infinitely close to seven thousand!

Yang Yanzhang, Gao Xie, Li Panlong, Hu Yanqing, Li Xian, and Zhu Biao's five people who were taken by the infantry generals were established with two battalions under each command, plus five soldiers and horses directly under their command, and if they were all filled with the total strength of the infantry army of the Hedong Army, it would be as much as 100,000 people. With the addition of the Fifth Cavalry Army, together with the Guards Battalion, the Armored Iron Cavalry Battalion, and the Recruit Battalion, the total strength of Zhu Biao's army will reach an astonishing number of 180,000.

However, it is clear that this astonishing number is impossible for Zhu Biao to achieve now. The number of people is easy to gather, the armor is difficult to load, and some people eat horses and chew, and he can't afford to play such a big scene with his belongings.

Zhu Biao planned to first form five infantry battalions, that is, the infantry army had 40,000 troops. Then Li Yan pulled up an armored iron horse, the number of people does not have to be very large, but at least there must be a thousand horses, so that the scale can be used! The five cavalry battalions and the pro-soldier battalion were replenished, and the total strength of such infantry cavalry was about 80,000.

With this number of descendant soldiers and horses, they can only make peace on the battlefield in the Central Plains in the future, otherwise it will be too tricky if it is encountered in Kaizhou. Moreover, before going down to the Central Plains, Zhu Biao still has to be intimate with the Hu people. With this lineage as the foundation, and with the help of Zhou Jun, he doesn't know if he can complete the long-lost S-class task, but he must do it with all his might. These Tang kings also agreed, and it was one of the agreements Zhu Biao made with him when he left Beiping!

On December 20, Zhu Biao set off for Beiping. It's the New Year, and the local civil and military ministers are going to enter the court to worship. Hedong, Hexi and other military towns are no exception, this year in the Northern Han Dynasty is a rare good year in more than ten years! The main force was concentrated in the Hu cavalry outside the border of Chen State, and few troops went south, benefiting not only Hedong, but also the entire Northern Han Frontier. Financially, with the support of the Tang King, the national strength has been boosted after a year of cultivation.

Arrived in Beiping on December 25, and the next day, Zhu Biao ordered someone to prepare a generous gift and send it to the door of the Elbe Houfu.

"Father, Zhu Biao ordered someone to send a New Year's gift...... Yu Xinxian said to his father timidly, holding a gift list in his hand, which was obviously very light and thin. but in his hand it was like a hot yam.

stopped writing, but Yu Ziliang's posture didn't move for a while, only his eyes were stunned and he looked at the handwritten book on the bookcase, his eyes were full of melancholy, regret and resentment!

In a trance, the original scene appeared in front of Yu Ziliang's eyes, and the scenes of the past are still fresh in his memory. Is it easy on your own? With a discerning eye, I finally picked a good grandson-in-law for my granddaughter, but now I can't even come to the door. The rift has been planted deeply, and it will not be restored to its original state if it is healed!

……

On the first day of the first month, the ministers congratulated. In the midst of singing praises and singing and dancing. The new year has arrived, and the new year has begun.

This day is really busy, first the dynasty, the hundred officials first went to the Hanyuan Hall to worship the new king Ji Yun, and then went to the Wenhua Hall to worship the Queen Mother. Although the queen mother's bedroom is not the Wenhua Palace, the Palace of Eternal Life is in the harem, and the ministers are still not allowed to enter.

This time and space is not as good as the Ming and Qing dynasties in Zhu Biao's previous life, and his knees are bent. Here, it is a real man with gold under his knees, and he kneels three times and bows to the king, which is the case once a year. No matter how Ji Yun's throne came about. The accumulation of two years of time, especially the improvement of the entire national strength this year, Ji Yun's throne is also really imprisoned.

Zhu Biao is listed in the fourth place among the military attachΓ©s, Tai Lieutenant Cai Tingshen, the military department Shangshu Ma Chao, and the Pingbei general Wu Hengfei. And then there was him. Looking at Ji Yun sitting on the throne of Yutai, I don't know if he has thought about his father who is still in prison at this moment.

Zhu Biao didn't believe that no one had understood the matter of the crown prince. Ji Yun and the Yun family, the sudden change of attitude. King Tang's repeated intervention in the Northern Han Dynasty was too bright and heavy. There are many smart people in the world!

But a qiΔ“ is already doomed. Ji Yun is now a veritable King of Han. And these pickled things at the top, those who know about them also consciously abide by the rules of the power game at the top, and never spread to the middle and lower levels.

Seeing Zhu Biao, who was a little ashamed of himself, bowing in front of him in an orderly manner, Ji Yun's heart swelled with monstrous joy. After that, Ji Yun completed the ceremony of the king's sacrifice to the Taimiao, and at this moment, he was completely intoxicated with the joy of the surrender of the hundred officials.

In comparison, Zhu Biao's expression has always been very cold, the crack between the monarch and the minister is established, and it is strange that he can be in a good mood when he bows down to a mother and son who can even abandon his father and husband just because of the right.

However, at this time, Zhu Biao's indifference in appearance only made Ji Yun fluttering even more, and completely overwhelmed his joy, so that he was fortunate to have almost had a business trip several times when he was sacrificing to the Taimiao.

After the sacrifice to the Taimiao, Ji Yun sent a decree to set up a banquet in the Manna Hall and feasted the ministers. Zhu Biao followed Cai Tingshen into the table, Cai Tingshen was a captain, so he was naturally busy handing over cups and changing lamps with the ministers, Ma Chao was not as popular as him, but he even said something to Zhu Biao. He has an upright personality and loyalty, although he had no friendship with Zhu Biao in the past, but in his heart he had a lot of mind about the change in the attitude of King Tang and the new king.

Sitting in the seat, he whispered to Zhu Biao to point out some new ministers and Wang Sun Xungui. In particular, the two people were pointed out, Prince Chang, Yue Hua, and the representative of the Tang Dynasty in the Northern Han Dynasty, Ma Chao angrily described it with the phrase 'Hanchen is better than Hanchen'.

Zhu Biao is often not very familiar with the prince, but he is an old rival to Yue Hua. What role they will play in the Northern Han Dynasty is unknown.

But Zhu Biao didn't have the heart and need to pay attention to the two of them, he had already reached an agreement with King Tang, and some things had to be forgotten. Ma Chao is not a person with a broken mouth, and he and Zhu Biao quickly talked about the topic of mandarin ducks.

The Song army traveled thousands of miles, and the power of the mandarin duck array was fully displayed along the way, which had already attracted the attention of some well-intentioned people. Ma Chao, who is the secretary of the Northern Han Dynasty, is one of them. Moreover, he also made up his mind to get the method and the secret from Zhu Biao as soon as possible.

Ma Chao is a civil official, and although he has read a lot of military books, he thinks that he is not capable of leading soldiers. He's not Cai Tingshen! But he is less than half a bottle of the Art of War book, but he also knows that the formation is not just by looking at the formation diagram, that is, there must be a secret, there must be a secret to the truth. Otherwise, why did the same formation fall into the hands of different people, and the power was simply the difference between heaven and earth? The Mandarin Duck Formation is still a small team battle formation, which is more suitable for zero-soldier fighting, and it is even more necessary to have a unique know-how.

When Ma Chao inquired about Zhu Biao's secret of the Mandarin Duck Formation, the corners of Zhu Biao's mouth were raised for the first time that day. What's the secret of him, it's all system amplification.

However, he had completely comprehended the Mandarin Duck Array, so he casually summarized three points, and Ma Xian, who still listened to the Mandarin Duck Array, nodded his head.

The northern frontier of the Central Plains, a place of absolute secrets, at the same time.

In the stone room, the wine was scattered all over the table, and there was only leftovers on it, and a middle-aged man in cotton clothes, drunk and untrimmed, fell on the wooden bed in the room, sleeping as if he was dead.

There is also a desk in the room, with pen, ink and paper, the ink is not dry, and a piece of paper in the center of the table is full of words.

"From the south to the north, to the west and to the east, it is always empty to see the floating life.

The sky is empty, the earth is empty, and life is in it.

The sun is empty, the moon is empty, what is the work of coming and going?

The field is empty, the land is empty, and how many masters have changed.

The gold is empty, the silver is empty, how can he be in his hands after death?

The wife is empty, the son is empty, and there is no meeting on the Huangquan Road.

The emptiness in the Tripitaka Sutra is color, and the color in the Prajna Sutra is emptiness.

Towards the west, to the twilight to the east, life is just picking flowers and bees.

After harvesting a hundred flowers into honey, it will be hard work in the end.

I listened to the three watches in the middle of the night, and I turned over and didn't realize the five watches.

If you think about it carefully from the beginning, it is the ...... in Nanke's dream" (to be continued)
