0345 Commander in the Army
Weizhou Daying is set up by the water, and now the river has gradually melted the ice and snow, and the flood season is approaching, although the river is still cold, but it also covers the two sides of the river beach with a layer of light green color.
At present, this large camp has gathered tens of thousands of horses from various states, and the camps are connected from end to end, occupying the river beach on both sides of the Weishui River that is more than ten miles long.
Although only a small part of the tens of thousands of elite soldiers were truly elite, and most of the others were improvised state, county and township regiments and powerful tribes, as well as vassals of various ethnic groups, so many men and horses gathered here still filled the entire camp with a solemn atmosphere, and even the birds in the sky did not dare to hover in the sky above the camp.
Li Tai also came to this world and found out that this kind of camp where people and horses gathered in ancient times was quite different from what he imagined in later generations.
When many people think of the barracks, they generally think that they must be forbidden, dull and depressing, and the soldiers spend their days sharpening their swords and waiting for them, and there is no other personal life and entertainment.
But in fact, this is not right, these soldiers are also human beings, they also have all kinds of normal life needs, either physiologically or psychologically, once they are not met for a long time, it will have a bad impact on morale, and even cause a big mess.
In essence, the barracks are actually a living quarters with military purposes, like a city with slightly rudimentary facilities and functions. The officers and men are not allowed to give orders or leave the area of their respective camps without permission, but in the absence of special combat missions, the life and entertainment in the camp are relatively casual, and there will not be too many impersonal rules.
】
The Chinese military camp where Li Tai stayed, in addition to replacing the houses built of various wood and stone with camp tents, was also similar in layout and function to the state city, with living areas, office areas and even entertainment areas.
Of course, the so-called entertainment area mainly refers to the school field where various military competitions are held, rather than a place for indulging in fun and wandering.
After Li Tai obtained Duguxin's understanding through some explanations, he stayed in the camp for one night, which greatly dissipated the fatigue of the journey. When it came to the next day, he couldn't sit still, still thinking about what Duguxin said yesterday, and wanted to dig out a few talents in the camp to recruit him.
This kind of occasion for the gathering of various armies is undoubtedly to bring together the outstanding military talents of all the states and counties, and it is easier to dig them out.
In the past, Li Tai has also experienced occasions that are more grand than this, such as the big reading over the years. But on that occasion, he lagged behind a lot in terms of prestige and position, and he didn't have the opportunity to go deep into the camp to recruit talents.
With this in mind, Li Tai waited for a tour of the camps after breakfast, and before he could leave, he heard bursts of cheers from around the school yard in the northeast corner of the camp, so he moved to watch.
There are two straight and flat horses built on the school grounds, which can be used by two teams of knights to practice their skills together, and by the way, compare the level of riding and archery skills. At this time, on the school field, there are two teams of people competing.
Mounted archery is a very advanced skill in the army, and those who can be proficient in both can already be deservedly called elite warriors, and they are greatly admired and admired in the army. Therefore, when a sergeant wanted to compare this skill, it immediately attracted many onlookers and surrounded this small school field.
The two teams were each lined up with six people, although the number was not much, but each of them looked strong and considerable, which people did not dare to underestimate.
When they turned over and started to gallop on this horse, and led their bows to shoot at the targets around the gallop, their movements were clean and neat, and they all showed their good archery skills, which attracted the surrounding spectators to applaud and cheer.
Li Tai was attracted by this shout, at this time the competition between the two sides has reached the second half, but their respective states have not declined significantly, even the worst can maintain the level of six out of ten, it can be seen that he is definitely well-trained on weekdays, so he has a great interest in this competition between the two sides.
"Who are the two sides in this comparison? Why fight? ”
He patted a soldier next to him who was still clapping himself and asked with a smile.
The soldier was disturbed to watch the play, and he was in a bad mood, and he frowned and was about to get angry, but when he turned his head and saw Li Tai and all the soldiers around him, he quickly restrained the anger on his face, bowed down and said: "General Yu, this one side is the county soldiers of Wushanshu, and the other side is the people of East Qinzhou, it seems that there is a conflict between each other's camp choices, so they have to come to the school field to compete to determine the winner." ”
Wushan Shu is a fort in Weizhou, Li Tai couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this: "Longyou is really strong and strong, the people are fierce, and the country songs in the county are so skillful!" ”
When the soldier heard Li Tai's praise, his face suddenly showed a look of honor, but he still shook his head and explained: "The Wushan soldiers are not the original soldiers in the realm, and they only came from Guanzhong a few years ago. The name of the lord is Shi Jing, and he is a very brave and brave man......"
When Li Tai heard the soldier's answer, he suddenly felt a sigh of emotion in his heart, as if he was in a different world, he didn't expect to meet old acquaintances in this camp in Weizhou, Longyou.
He naturally won't forget Shi Jing, this guy is also unlucky, because the people of other tribes in Shangyuan Township offended Li Tai, and as a result, he was implicated.
On the contrary, after the Shi brothers, who were in Shangyuan Township, completely bowed to Li Tai, Li Tai did not retaliate further, and the family also joined the Shangyuan Qu League, although the life was not very rich and noble, but it was also quite nourishing.
Li Tai sighed in his heart while continuing to enjoy the competition on the field. Although Shi Jing's career is unsatisfactory, the performance of his peers is remarkable, which shows that he has not been slackened because of this, and still maintains a very high level of training, and can go into battle at any time to kill the enemy.
Seeing this scene, Li Tai was also quite pleased, not to mention the merits of Shi Jing, he also looked forward to the future of his son Shi Wansui to shine without accidents.
Shi Jinggong and his subordinates performed well, and the people of the Eastern Qinzhou who competed with them were also not bad, and the first battle between the two sides was even indistinguishable, and after each rested, they were ready to start the second battle.
Li Tai saw that the person who led the team in Eastern Qinzhou was also tall and heroic, and he was even a little braver than Shi Wansui and his father, and he was naturally very curious in his heart. Now that he has become a famous general in the Western Wei Kingdom, he has seen most of them, but he doesn't know this person, so he can't help but ask the visitors on the left and right.
But most of the onlookers on the left and near are the soldiers here, and they don't know much about the personnel of East Qinzhou, although they feel very brave when they look at that person, but they don't know the origin of his identity.
The second game in the field also ended quickly, and in the end, it was the East Qinzhou people who won by leading a few arrows. The Weizhou soldiers outside the field all sighed again and again when they saw Shi Jing and his party defeated, but the performance of the people of East Qinzhou was also obvious to all, and it could only be said that they were a little unlucky.
After losing the competition, Shi Jinggong and his subordinates couldn't help but be depressed, and they were about to end up ashamed, but they were shouted by the other party's team leader. Shi Jing and the others' faces suddenly became a little unkind, and they only said that the other party was not happy to win the competition, and they would be even more humiliated, but they didn't expect that the other party's leader just pulled Shi Jing to explain to him the reasons for the gains and losses of his army's skills and defeat for a long time.
Li Tai stood outside the field, looking at the head of the Eastern Qinzhou Soldier's long speech and analysis, and he felt interesting in his heart, so he stood at the entrance of the school field, waiting to say hello to Shi Jing, the old man, and get to know the Eastern Qinzhou Commander by the way.
Shi Jing patiently listened to the other party's analysis and narration on the field, and finally waited until the other party finished speaking, although the other party did not mean to humiliate him, but it also made him feel very uncomfortable, so he hurriedly gave up his hand and said goodbye, refusing to continue to stay.
However, when he led his subordinates to the exit of the school, he raised his eyes and saw Li Tai looking at him with a smile under the guard of his own soldiers, his face suddenly changed sharply, and he subconsciously wanted to shrink back, and after his body stiffened for a while, he threw the reins of his mount to his subordinates, stepped forward hard, and said to Li Tai from a distance: "The last general has seen the envoy!" ”
"General Shi, it's been a long time. Although they knew each other back then, they didn't have time to say goodbye, and now Longyou is reunited, and the general's demeanor has not been broken. ”
Li Tai raised his hand and pointed at Shi Jing and said with a smile, looking at the other party's cautious and apprehensive appearance towards him, he felt quite happy in his heart.
Shi Jing smiled bitterly after hearing this, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The king has praised it, and the last general will guard this side, and he has not seen any merit for many years, but he has just wasted his time." The reputation of the king has gradually grown, and the last general has heard a lot, and he really admires it in his heart, and he is even more ashamed of his ignorance and offense in previous years......"
Li Tai was still waiting to say goodbye to Shi Jing for a while, but the commander of the Eastern Qinzhou soldiers on the school field also strode towards this trip, looked at Li Tai from a distance and clenched his fists and said: "Such an amazing and refined demeanor, it is really Li Dadudu, there is no doubt!" Last year, during the Baishui Grand Parade, the lowly post was fortunate to be outside the school field to see Governor Li Dadu enter the battle to capture Zhongshan Gong, which greatly inspired the young people in the country to be strong, and the lowly post was also among them, and he admired Governor Li Dadu! ”
After Li Tai heard this, he was happy again, and he only felt that the one who slapped Zhao Gui in the face last year was really worth it, and there are still people who talk about it in front of him, and there are many fans.
Before he could answer, the man hurriedly said: "Liang Shiyan, who is now the commander of the army under the jurisdiction of East Qinzhou, has entered Long to assemble and standby, and he is overjoyed in his heart, and he asks for forgiveness for his recklessness!" Last year, after looking forward to the demeanor of the Metropolitan Governor, I went to visit after the end of the Great Reading, but I didn't realize that the thieves in Beizhou urged each other, and the Metropolitan Governor had to leave the scene in advance to help, and it has been a pity to be humiliated......"
