Chapter Seventy-Four: Into the Camp
After practicing for two hours in the afternoon, Xiao Yan returned to Chunze Garden not only with a gray face, but also with a bruise under her clothes, she rubbed the medicine herself after bathing, and did not ask Qinghui to help, Xiao Yan used all the shock force, there was no external injury, and she could also wipe the medicine with her back with her back bruised.
After bathing and changing clothes, Xiao Yan went to the front house for dinner.
After dinner, the three of them walked in the garden to eat, and the maids followed from a distance.
Xiao Yan said to Xiao Yan: "After Ah Yan enters the camp, don't expose that you have reached the extreme realm, young and talented, for fear of being envied." Well, just like Ah Ji, in the middle of the fusion realm. Reaching this level at the age of fifteen is already a leader. β
Xiao Yan responded, "Okay." β
Xiao Yu explained to her again: "Tubo is in chaos for a while, and the two princes of Gesang Dama, the king of the Qingtang Dynasty, and the two princes of Tubo Zampudan Zengji are fighting in the area of Zhongbo (bo). The masters of Tibetan Buddhism and the Bo Sect also have their own support behind the scenes. There are soldiers of all ethnic groups in the Jingnan army, and there are also Tubo people, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no followers of Tubo Buddhism and Bojiao, and they may assassinate the generals and talents in the army in order to frame the other party and provoke the revenge of the Tang Dynasty. - These believers are crazy, but they are not rational. She sneered, her eyes revealing a sharp color, "Therefore, if you believe in any religion to the extreme, it will become a disaster." - Both the monk and the bowl sect have masters, so they have to guard against it. β
Xiao Yan understood that the seventh aunt was not afraid that she would be jealous, but that she was worried that she would attract the attention of Tibetan Buddhism and the Bowl Sect during this special period and become the target of their conspiracy, so she immediately replied in a solemn voice: "Yes, Ah Yan knows." β
Xiao Yu turned his head and said Xiao Ji again: "Tomorrow Mu Xiaosi will enter the camp with you, and when you get to the rules in the army, don't always twist and fight together." I really don't know if you two were enemies in your last life, you can wear a pair of pants when it's good, and beat each other to death when it's bad......"
Xiao Ji interjected, "Who wears a pair of pants with him!" β
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of his head a few times, kneading his hair into a chicken nest, before he smiled with satisfaction, and said hehe: "If you do this again in the camp, you two will be punished for brushing the toiletββ"
Xiao Ji immediately pounced on him and exclaimed, "You are my own mother!" I can't treat my son like this......"
Xiao Yu pushed him away with a disgusted palm, "Look at your chicken nest." β
Xiao Ji pouted aggrievedly: ...... Didn't you make this chicken nest head, my mother?
Xiao Yan laughed.
Xiao Ji pounced on her and said, "Brother, hurry up and comfort my brother." β
Xiao Yan's body flashed, his hand stretched out, and he instantly changed positions with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Ji threw himself into his mother's arms, Xiao Ji rubbed his head, "Ah Ji is really enthusiastic." β
Xiao Ji: Huh.
The beautiful sister he wants to hug. Mother, I hate you.
***
Xiao Yan was still laughing when she returned to Chunze Garden, the mother and son of the seventh aunt were really funny.
It turns out that mother and son can get along like this.
She felt a little melancholy in her heart, although her mother treated her well, they didn't seem to be so affectionate, she took the initiative to get close to her mother. Mother is like the light ink landscape in the painting, too light and distant.
Xiao Yan was melancholy for a while, and then thought about it, if her mother was like Seventh Aunt...... Uh, I still don't want it, the painting style is too disobedient, and it's not suitable for my mother's Qingyuan landscape.
Xiao Yan thought for a while and laughed, picked up the pen and paper, and wrote a letter to his mother, saying that he had arrived in Jingzhou, describing the geography and scenery of Jingzhou as he saw it, and saying that Aunt Qi's teaching and arrangements for her, as well as her understanding and doubts in martial artsβthis was for Shang Qi to see.
When she got up the next day, she sent the letter to a tooth soldier and told him to send it to Hezhou. After two quarters of an hour of quenching boxing in short brown, he bathed and changed his clothes, and went to the front house to have breakfast with his aunt and cousin. At two o'clock, we set off for the Jingnan Army camp.
Qinghui, Bingbi and eighteen tooth soldiers all stayed in the mansion.
Out of the gate of the General's Mansion, there is a wide bluestone road leading straight to the gate of the Outer Mansion that opens on the wall of the workshop. On the side of the road at the intersection of Bluestone Road and Fangnei Avenue stood a young man leading a horse, wearing a left robe, a long belt embroidered at both ends, wearing big crotch pants, a black and white legging belt on his calf, a round felt hat with rolled edges and upturned, and a horizontal knife with a painted pattern hanging on his belt, about fifteen or sixteen years old, his complexion was light brown, but he was very handsome, his facial features were clear and tough, not Xiao Ji's kind of handsome, it was a kind of masculine and resolute handsome, his expression and eyes were wild, like a wolf in the wasteland, a fierce and ruthless color.
The young man saluted Xiao Yu and said, "General, Ah Fu is waiting here according to your orders. β
This young man is the fourth son Mu Fu who was escorted by Mu Shunyun, the patriarch of Tuyuhun, yesterday to "ask for sin".
Xiao Yu rode on the horse and looked at the young man and smiled: "Why, your father didn't come to see you off?" β
Mu Fu raised his chin, "Fu is no longer a child, and he doesn't need to be sent." As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Ji, his mouth pursed, and his expression was laughing at Xiao Ji and asking his mother to accompany him to join the army.
Xiao Yu laughed.
Xiao Ji snorted behind him, "Little fart." β
Xiao Yan smiled secretly in his heart: Eighth cousin, you are as big as a little brat.
Xiao Yu waved his hand simply, "Mu Fu, get on the horse." "Ride your horse and go to the outer gate.
Mu Fu responded, jumped on the horse, and walked on the left side of Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji snorted at him.
Mu Fu also snorted at him.
Both of them turned their faces away at the same time.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh to himself, and glanced at the horse that Mu Fu was riding.
It was a cyan horse, there was no variegated on the body, it looked like a divine horse, looking at the horse's face and neck and rouge horse, Eli horse are different, it should be the same as Xiao Ji's mount, they are all Qinghai horses in Jingzhou, and they are the good horses of Qinghai in it. However, Mu Fu's Qinghai Skull seemed to be more powerful than Xiao Ji's, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Red Wind snorted at the cyan horse.
Xiao Yan suddenly smiled, since she realized the "unity of man and horse" on the horse farm yesterday, there is a cordial connection between her and Chifeng, she can feel Chifeng's affection, joy, and hate...... Now it hates Mu Fu's Qinghai horse.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile and touched Chifeng's head, expressing "You are the most horseman", Chifeng raised his hooves, and knocked on the bluestone road crisply, revealing a happy feeling.
Xiao Yan smiled again, and suddenly turned to the left to look at the handsome young man's gaze.
Mu Fu nodded to her, his eyes were still wild and cold, but Xiao Yan didn't feel any malice in it, thinking that this young man was not good at expressing his feelings, so he smiled at him.
When she smiled, her clear and clear eyes became more and more radiant.
Mu Fu pulled the corners of his mouth unnaturally, and tried to make a laughing expression but failed, turned his face away, and the tips of his ears were a little red.
Xiao Ji saw that he was so embarrassed that he immediately took two quick steps with his horse, completely blocking Mu Fu's view to the right, and snorted: "This is my seventeenth brother, you don't have to make up your mind." β
The boy's face was dark, what was his idea? glared at Xiao Ji viciously, and decided to fight him when he came to the camp, and avenge the ribs by the way.
Xiao Ji smiled, turned his horse over, and said in a low voice: "The general said, if we fight again, we will be punished for cleaning the toilet." β
Mu Fu's face suddenly froze.
Xiao Ji laughed and turned his horse forward, feeling very comfortable.
Xiao Yan was speechless, eighth cousin, can you be more naΓ―ve.
When the group went out of the city gate, they let their horses gallop.
The mounts of Xiao Yu's four people are all good horses that are one in a thousand, and the mounts of the two pro-soldiers are also good horses, with fast speed and strong endurance, and they only rest once every hour, and they arrive after running for more than two hours on the land of one hundred and eighty miles.
"Look, that's the Qingjia Mountains. In the Tibetan language, it is called Aqing Gongjia, which means green mountain. β
Xiao Ji pointed out to Xiao Yan from afar.
Xiao Yan concentrated on the look, it was a majestic mountain range with white peaks, the peaks were very high, more than 2,000 zhang by sight, the peak was snow that did not melt all year round, and the bottom of the peak was a lush blue, and there was no edge to see.
When approaching the camp, Xiao Yan's horse slowed down, and Xiao Ji held a horsewhip to give Xiao Yan instructions, "The camp is built in the east of the Qingjia Mountains, about thirty miles away from the foothills, this is the main point of camping, you can't set up under the mountain, to prevent the enemy from attacking from a high place." There is also a water source, there are the most lakes around the Qingjia Mountains, the west of our camp is Qingjia Lake, there is also a small lake in the camp, there is also a lake in the north and south, in addition to the salt water lake in the south, the other three lakes are fresh water, and it is very convenient to drink water and get water. β
When he said that it was convenient to get water, he squeezed his eyes at Xiao Yan, meaning that he didn't have to worry about running out of water to take a bath.
Mu Fu Chima snorted beside him, "The Han people are particular, and it is not a waste of water to take a bath a few times a day." β
Xiao Ji squinted at him, "Mu Xiaofu, don't take a bath after you have the ability to practice." β
Mu Fu puffed up his chest, "Only when there is a smell of sweat can it be called a man's taste, who is like you sissy." β
"Who's a sissy! You unclean savage! β
"Who doesn't love to be clean anymore! I have a bath every day! β
The two quarreled again.
"Smack!" Xiao Yu threw a horsewhip back, "If you quarrel again, I'll throw you two to clean the toilet now." β
The two of them were immediately quiet, but you stared at me, like two fighting cocks.
Xiao Yan suddenly felt a headache, if he was in the same account with these two people, wouldn't he have to quarrel every day?
Xiao Yu led the three of them into the new barracks.
The recruit battalion is in the northeast of the battalion, the battalion general Xu Chongmo, is a tall and thin, unsmiling middle-aged man, there are five recruit regiments under the battalion, each regiment has 200 people, and the recruits are not yet full.
Of course, the Jingnan Army does not recruit troops every year, there is an establishment in the army, and only recruits when there is a shortage of personnel. Last year, the Jingnan Army and Tubo fought in Qingtang, losing thousands of soldiers, which needed to be replenished, plus the newly acquired Qingtang land, the imperial court increased the establishment of two battalions of the Jingnan Army, and also needed to recruit new ones. Recruitment is generally in the spring ploughing and autumn harvest after the two seasons begin, Jingzhou is located in the cold area of the plateau, the end of April spring ploughing is over, May, June and July are the recruitment time, Xiao Yan three people come not late.
Generally, recruits sign up at the recruitment points in the counties under Jingzhou, and only after passing the primary selection will they be sent to the barracks, but those who are recommended by lieutenant generals can be exempted from the primary selection and go directly to the barracks.
But after entering the camp, there is still an assessment, and the first item is to measure age, height, and eyesight.
The age of military service in the Tang army is 21 to 45 years old, and Xiao Yan and the three are all under the age of 21, but as long as their height, strength, and eyesight meet the standards of ordinary soldiers, they can also join the army.
The minimum height standard of the Hexi Army is five feet two, Xiao Yan is five feet four, Xiao Ji and Mu Fu are two inches taller than her, and their height has passed, not to mention that the three of them are still in the development period, and if they grow for another year or two, they are likely to reach the height of the cavalry battalion and the battle front battalion, and they will be incorporated into the main battalion.
The second item is to measure strength, and the general soldier is to lift a stone lock, and then pull a stone bow to test the strength of the arm.
Xu Chongmo directly asked someone to come over with a five-stone bow.
To pull out the five-stone bow, one arm must have at least five hundred catties of strength.
The three of them registered in the enlistment files are all in the fusion realm, Xiao Yan and Xiao Ji are in the middle stage, Mu Fu is in the early stage, and there is no problem in pulling out the five-stone bow.
After measuring the strength of the arrow, this item is a test of eyesight, so the arrow target stands at forty paces, as long as the target is qualified.
Xu Chongmo directly asked them to shoot a hundred-step target.
It's still a five-stone bow, three people with three arrows at the same time, "Poof!" Burst! Burst! "All hearts.
Xu Chong drew a circle in the column of "100 steps of archery" and wrote a "pick", indicating a full score.
Generally, recruits can enter the camp when they are measured here, but the martial arts are not the same when they enter the camp, and the treatment is different if the martial arts are excellent.
Generally speaking, martial artists are divided into external and internal skills, and those who practice external skills are also called cultivators, most of them are aimed at pursuing martial arts, and few are willing to enter the military camp to accept bondage, so the Tang army has preferential treatment for cultivators entering the camp, such as the fusion realm, entering the army is from the six-grade general rank, the early and middle stages of the ascending realm are the five-grade general rank, and the late stage of the ascending realm is the third-grade military rank, if it is the grandmaster of the Dongzhen realm, it is directly the first-grade military rank. Of course, they only enjoy the treatment of military ranks, and do not have the real right to lead troops, and they must obey the command of the generals when fighting.
Xiao Yan wants to lead the army, so he has to start as a recruit, and he can't take the path of a pure warrior to join the army.
Xu Chongmo drew his knife and tested the strength of the three of them.
Xiao Yan had already sealed his sixty-two tricks before leaving the mansion, and converged his breath to the fusion realm, but even if part of the internal force was sealed, the martial arts realm would not fall, Xu Chongmo was shocked when he fought against her, although he defeated her in the thirty-eighth move, he felt strange in his heart, and glanced at Xiao Yu's slightly smiling expression, and he wisely suppressed his doubts.
When the battalion was divided, he asked Xiao Yu: "There are still more than a dozen recruits in the Fifth Regiment, but the regiment commander and brigade commander are all together." The sixth regiment is being recruited, is it assigned to the sixth regiment? β
With the martial arts of Xiao Yan and the three of them, it is enough to be the regiment leader and brigade commander, and if the later table is not suitable for leading troops, they will be exempted from leading soldiers and become independent cavalry captains - this is a position specially set up for warriors who are strong in martial arts but not suitable for leading troops, that is, mobile soldiers, deployed by the army owner, battalion owner, and regiment leader during combat, as a long-range sniper or raider or a force to support everywhere - or to grant the instructor position of an overseer.
Xu Chongmo meant that Xiao Yan, Xiao Ji, and Mu Fu would be assigned to the Sixth Regiment, which had not yet been recruited, to be the regiment commander and brigade commander, and it would depend on their appearance whether they had the ability to lead the troops.
Xiao Yu asked him: "Has the leader of the first regiment been elected?" β
