Chapter 296: The Disappointing Forbidden Army

After Chao Gai returned to the house, he was busy making ginseng soup for his wife, and when the milky white soup in the carbon urn was boiling, he hurriedly put in ginseng slices, wolfberries and other Chinese medicinal materials. A rich aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of medicine spreads.

"Uh-uh......, it smells so good!" Outside the courtyard wall, there was a sudden sharp cry, and then, a figure crossed the wall and rushed to Chao Gai, and said with a smile: "Brother, what do you have to ask people to come to me?" ”

This person is six feet tall, with a thin body, sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, sparse eyebrows, and a few dog grease beards.

Who can it be if it's not a flea on the drum?

"Brother Shiqian, my first capable person in Chaojiazhuang is here, come and sit down." Chao Gai smiled and stepped forward and pulled him to the bench by the fire to sit down.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Shi Qian took the initiative to ask: "Brother, I don't know what the task is?" ”

"No hurry!" Chao Gai nodded, looked Shi Qian up and down, and patted him on the shoulder: "Commander Shi is quite energetic, I don't know how the Feitian Special Combat Team is formed?" ”

Shi Qian was a little excited when he said this, and an ugly face smiled: "At present, there are dozens of people, all of whom are good at martial arts, and it is not a problem to fly the eaves and walk the wall." But it is carefully selected from the people in the rivers and lakes, and the number of people cannot go up. ”

In the end, Shi Qian's face was somewhat annoyed.

"Dozens of people, it's really not enough!" After pondering for a while, Chao Gai gave guidance: "The formation of the team is simple, you can recruit some clever teaching and training, and teach basic kung fu without handing over your skills." If you are talented, you can be accepted as apprentices and grandchildren, and there will be more people, right? ”

"Brother, this method is wonderful!" Time shifts brightly.

"But the character must be checked, and you can't fill the numbers indiscriminately." Chao Gai admonished solemnly. Shi Qian nodded again and again, and the two discussed and determined the specific details.

"I have a task for you here."

"Although the elder brother is assigned, the younger brother will definitely complete it." Time Shift Chest Guarantee.

Chao Gai said "yes", and then informed the task of the time change. Or nodded again and again, but when he heard the value of the sale, he was a little disdainful: "Brother, the sale is only 100,000 yuan, I'll go find a few ancient tombs." ”

"Hey, brother!" Chao Gai frowned, and hurriedly stopped this habitual offender, with a serious attitude: "The reason why the ancient tomb was broken last time was because of the financial crisis, and I can't afford to buy food. That's why I made this decision, it's not what I want, and I won't be allowed to dig graves at will in the future, which is a bit dishonorable after all. ”

Shi Qian sincerely admitted his mistake: "What my brother taught me is!" ”

Chao Gai patted the man's shoulder: "Brother, don't be careless with little money." As long as you steal the treasure silently on the way, it is a great achievement. ”

"Brother, don't worry." Shi Qian's little face became serious, patting his chest and reassuring. Before Gai could drink the soup, he had already jumped up to the wall: "Brother, junior brother will personally go to monitor it, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"Hey, brother, don't leave the supplies you should bring!"

"Don't worry, brother, little brother has experience, let's go!"

Chao Gai only had time to wave his hand to admonish, and Shi Qian flew off the wall and left, and the sound quickly faded away until it disappeared, worthy of being the master of the eaves and the wall!

The time of the flea on the drum is really the first capable person!

On the martial arts field, the women's officer squad gathered again for training!

In addition to fighting with each other, it is physical training such as weight-bearing long-distance running, frog jumping, and the little magnolia posture, the female Zhuge Yelu Tali did not go to the barracks to practice the soldiers today. The two girls became instructors, grinning as they walked, and looked at Chao Gai fiercely. It's like saying, it's all your fault!

Chao Gai was somewhat weak-hearted, so he could only smile at the two girls and say good things. In addition to teaching his wife fighting skills, he practiced martial arts diligently.

The sun is setting, and the training is over!

Song Yulian and Zhang Linger each drank chicken soup and left with a barbecue!

Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang was draped all over her body, carrying double knives, and returned from the barracks.

Under the large willow tree, the stone table is filled with various dishes such as barbecue, the staple food. Chao Gai made ginseng soup for his wife, and the woman made a big tonic soup for him.

The family was having dinner, talking and chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. But Chao Gai looked left and right, and a sentence made the dinner table quiet.

He asked, "Where am I going to sleep tonight?" ”

The women were pretty and red, but no one answered.

"Zhao'er, I'll go to you!" Chao Gai looked at Li Qingzhao.

"Ah, no, no......" Li Qingzhao was shocked, like a frightened rabbit shaking his head again and again: "The concubine's marriage has not been dissolved, Ling Feng must not mess around." If the news spreads, scolding me for being small, but it can't affect you. ”

Chao Gai really wanted to say that no one in Chao Mansion dared to chew the root of his tongue. However, seeing that the woman said very resolutely, it was impossible to go for the night.

He was a little disappointed, but he understood that in ancient times, adultery was a great sin, and it was to be immersed in a pig's pen. I was no longer stupid enough to continue the topic of "where to spend the night", because whoever spoke would not be appropriate and would cause disharmony.

Next, he changed the subject and mentioned tomorrow's plan for the women to prepare. Little jokes and brain teasers were told again, which made the atmosphere at the dinner table lively, and everyone talked and laughed and enjoyed the dinner happily.

When night fell, Chao Gai had his hands behind his back, and when he was thinking about where to go in the courtyard, he had an accident, only to see the door of the master bedroom being opened, Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, and Hu Sanniang came out, and dragged him into the room.

……

Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty, supported the army and rebelled and persecuted the orphans and widows of the Chai family.

Gradually formed a situation of emphasizing literature over military force!

The imperial court is afraid that the generals will rebel, so it is painstaking! In the army, only the commander of 500 commanders is a permanent official post, and all regimental training envoys and military superintendents are transferred at any time. The situation in the border army was slightly better. Marquis Du Yu commanded five battalions, but his permanent official command would be transferred.

The reason for this situation is that the soldiers do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals!

Except for the Western Army, the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty, the situation of the forbidden army in various places is almost the same. The three battalions of forbidden troops that are claimed to have been transferred from Hebei don't seem to be very good.

The sky was bright, and Chao Gai led a team of more than 100 people to the forbidden army camp outside the city. It was quiet inside, and there was not a single soldier standing guard outside.

No, there were two people on duty, but they fell asleep behind the tent. In contrast to the scene of more than a dozen people holding sharp weapons in the two camps on the left and right.

How ironic this is!

Chao Gai's face was gloomy, and he was not angry at the lax discipline of the forbidden army, but was unhappy that he was transferred to his subordinates to be full of these goods, and he was angry that he had greeted him in advance and was ready for battle, but he was still like this.

Not only him, but the faces of the generals who accompanied him were also ugly. Not to mention Han Shizhong and other generals of the trapped army, Li Qingwan, Hu Sanniang and other female generals pulled their faces, Li Ying, who came to report yesterday, looked around with a sigh on his face.

Because he saw that the people who were delivering vegetables in the Chaojia military camp not far away and the soldiers who went out needed to be registered and confirmed, the people entering and leaving were strictly checked, and there were soldiers everywhere on the fence wall to watch out for the enemy's situation, and the two sides were not comparable in terms of military discipline.

The crowd poured into the forbidden army camp unimpeded, and the lax defense was astonishing. The camp where the large tents were located was quiet, and there were no patrols moving around. Some of the guards were all slanted in armor and snoring strangely, and some were so asleep that even the weapons in their hands fell to the ground.

Chao Gai led the team to walk around the entire barracks, more than 100 people! More than 100 heavily armed men walked around without anyone paying attention. Everyone's face is black, why is the military discipline of the so-called Hebei border army so lax?

At this time, the horns of the two barracks on the left and right woke up, and the roar of the assembly came. After a while, neat slogans and shouts of killing resounded.

I thought that the three battalions of the forbidden army would follow the exercise, but unfortunately it was disappointing.

"Hey, it's noisy, what's the use of practicing every day?"

"! What good thing can you fall behind if you train so hard? ”

"They are still too young, and Lao Tzu was like this back then."

"Brothers, sleep, keep sleeping, don't care about the big soldiers in Chaojiazhuang."

……

When the crowd passed by many tents, the soldiers inside were awakened. But no one came out to train, but there was a noise of sighs mixed with scolding. Even when passing by a few tents, someone came out to pee, looked at it sleepily, and said something like "Brother, you are really training". Shake your body a few times and get into the tent to continue sleeping.

"A bunch of garbage, no one has come to interrogate me, etc.?" Chao Gai finally couldn't hold it back, his gloomy face gradually eased, and turned into a sneer.

"Known as the elite Hebei border army, the elite of my trip to Tama is not even as good as hired workers. Let's go to the school and see where the bottom line is? ”

With that, he led the team to the school yard in the barracks, where only the flags were fluttering, and there was no one. More than 100 personal guards and female soldiers lined up in two military formations.

Chao Gai at the front, behind him is Li Qingwan, Master Li and other women are waiting left and right. Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng, Lu Fang, Yu Tai and other generals lined up.

Except for the voice of the party Han Shizhong about the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, it was quiet. Everyone held their heads high and looked at the barracks without squinting.

The Northern Song Dynasty had many drawbacks in terms of military affairs!

In a word, that is, "dividing powers", the Northern Song Dynasty Central Committee had three supreme military institutions, namely the Privy Council, the Sanya, and the Ministers.

Although the Privy Council is nominally the highest military body, it does not command the army itself, but is the governing body of military and military affairs, such as the management of military charms and military registration. The specific military command organization is the "Sanya", which is the supreme command organ of the central government, which commands the forbidden army and the box army respectively.

Ministers, that is, the general name of the commander-in-chief, such as the pacification envoy, the economic envoy, the economic strategy envoy, the economic strategy to pacify the envoy and other official positions. It was a temporary assignment before the war, so it was not customized. This policy of temporarily appointing generals is conducive to preventing military generals from supporting their own troops and is also conducive to local stability.

These are just three military branches on the surface.

There is another one, when a specific war was carried out, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty used the "formation map" to restrain the commander. The "formation map" is the battle plan formulated by the emperor in advance, and the generals who arranged the formation are the "array envoys". To put it simply, it is to sit in the palace and control the army remotely to fight. The battle must be fought according to the emperor's battle plan, otherwise it will be guilty if you win.

It is impossible for the emperor to personally go to the army to check the situation, and send henchmen and eunuchs to supervise the army to command the battle.
