In the big tent of the livestock farm, Dasi Nong took the two of them to find Hou Junji, "General Hou, the old man will introduce you to two talents." ”

"Oh? Dasi Nong came. Come on, serve tea. "Hou Junji respects this old man, so he is very enthusiastic.

Li Jun said with envy, it is rare to see General Hou have a smiling face, who in the military department does not know that he is born with a cold face?

"I was just going to ask Dasi Nong for advice, what is the origin of these two brothers, you must know that our livestock farm is very important, so ......" The two sides sat down, and Hou Junji took the lead in asking.

Da Si Nong's eyes signaled, and Hou Junji waved his hand, "You all stand down, no one is allowed within a hundred steps." ”

This is in the army, the order is forbidden, Hou Junji, as one of the few people in the Tang Dynasty who is proficient in the art of war and military training, it is not surprising to see this scene by his side.

After arranging, the bearded Li Junxian took the lead in walking out and saluting, "The last general, Li Junxian, has seen General Hou." ”

Well? Li Junxian? Li Junxian of the Xuanjia Army? Aren't you in charge of guarding the Emperor Taishang and the Champion Hou family in Xiaojiazhuang? And what about him...... Could it be that he is a champion?

Xiao Rui got up and saluted slightly, "Xiao Rui has seen General Hou. ”

Hiss...... It's really a champion!

Hou Junji was not calm, and hurriedly got up and returned the salute, "Master Hou is polite!" Not long ago, there were rumors in Chang'an City that you were stabbed to death. Ben will not be able to raise 20,000 troops at once and kill the Turks to avenge you. Seeing that Hou Ye is safe and sound today, I would have been able to rest assured, Datang's luck! ”

Among the generals of the military department, Hou Junji is not familiar with Xiao Rui, so he can be regarded as a nodding friend. At the beginning, he looked down on Xiao Rui, a hairy boy, thinking that he was a favored man who relied on nepotism, if there was no emperor behind his back, would you dare to be domineering in the Tang Dynasty?

But later, a factory was established outside Chang'an City to accommodate veterans to make a living, which changed Hou Junji's view, and he was grateful in his heart.

Later, the Youzhou incident solved the Tang Dynasty Ma Zheng, got back 40,000 war horses, and added a team of iron horses, and this benefit finally fell to him Hou Junji, which can not but be said to be a real favor, even if Hou Junji is arrogant, you have to admit it.

In fact, when he received Xiao Rui's family and saw Xiao Rui's two pregnant wives, Hou Junji obeyed, and was willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the people of Youzhou, leaving behind the unborn child, how many generals are there in Datang?

What really convinced him was Xiao Rui's record of killing through the Turks, returning safely, and suppressing the champion Hou Huo to get sick. Hou Junji thinks he can't do it. Soldiers admire the strong, for example, in the art of war, he disobeys Li Ji, and always wants to compare with each other, but he is convinced by the old Li Jing.

Now there is one more person, can't it be said that it is Xiao Rui's martial arts? Or the Art of War? Or courage? Or is it the spirit of sacrifice? In short, it is an indescribable admiration.

Therefore, he was willing to talk to him as a junior, an equal, and even surrendered his identity to call Hou Ye. is not the original master of the horse, the master of the horse is in the face of the emperor, and the name of the master is Xiao Rui himself, who is admired.

Hearing Hou Junji say this, whether he meant it or not, Xiao Rui expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your concern." The assassination was indeed a matter of death, and it took a lot of money to come back in exchange for a life. In order to paralyze Jieli, he had to fake his death and get out. If you can't tell you, don't blame the general. ”

Hou Junji hurriedly waved his hand: "It's okay to do something, it's good to be safe, I've been looking forward to the day in the future, I can fight side by side with Hou Ye." Now it seems, there is a chance. Hahaha...... Today, Hou is entertained, and he should have a drink. ”

Da Si Nong interrupted and said: "General Hou, let the meal go in advance, whether it is you or me, it must be kept secret. We have come to you for a great thing. Not long ago, didn't you complain that the horse's hooves were worn out, delaying your military training? Champion Hou has a good strategy. ”

"Oh? Seriously? Hou Junji said in surprise, I have always heard of Xiao Rui's legend, and they all say that he is omnipotent under the stars, but I didn't expect that even the war horse understands?

Xiao Rui nodded, "The truth will be broken at one point." But it must be kept strictly secret, if this method is learned by the Turks, it will be a disaster for me in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Well, how to do it, Ben will cooperate with all his might, please make it clear to Master Hou!" Hou Junji said solemnly.

Xiao Rui asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the general has a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses here. 20,000 for guards, 20,000 for training mounted archery? ”

"Yes, if you have to leave 20,000 war horses as a backup and be responsible for cubs and other matters, you can train another 10,000 at least. Luoyang is blessed with new grain, so there is no shortage of grain and grass. Hou Junji's face was full of pity.

Xiao Rui smiled, "That's right, give me 10,000." If you have nothing to do lately, I'll add another 10,000 cavalry to you. ”

What???

"Master Hou, you, you mean, you want to train here in person?" Hou Junji looked at it for a moment and asked tentatively, "You also know how to train soldiers?" ”

Xiao Rui thought about it, he understood the training in the era of hot weapons, now is the era of cold weapons, and it is still a cavalry, he really doesn't seem to understand. Then he turned his head to look at Li Junxian: "I don't understand, General Li understands." ”

Li Junxian said with a bitter face: "Huh? The last general did know the training methods of the Xuanjia Army, but the Xuanjia Army was a heavy cavalry and needed to be equipped. Here......"

That's embarrassing.

Xiao Rui hurriedly haha: "Ahem, I misunderstood." That's what I thought. Let's hide from the world and cross the sea, from these 40,000, select another 10,000, cooperate with 10,000 war horses, and train another secret cavalry. The advantage of this cavalry is that it solves the problem of loss of horses' hooves. ”

Hou Junji groaned: "Master Hou, if you can ensure that the horse's hooves are not lost, it will be fine to bring out 10,000 war horses." But the other 20,000 are ordinary defenders, and the remaining ordinary soldiers are selected, and there are no elite soldiers. It's too difficult to train them as cavalry. ”

Xiao Rui laughed, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I don't want your elite soldiers." I have a good plan to let ordinary soldiers, riding on war horses, can also come and go freely, and combat cavalry and archery, no less than elite cavalry. ”

"Really? You just said that you don't know how to train soldiers. Hou Junji was very suspicious.

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said: "It's all a small skill, it's not worth mentioning." If you don't mind if I take your men, how about we compare? ”

Hou Junji refused on the spot, "It's not better!" Who in the court doesn't know, bet with Hou Ye, you will lose nine out of ten bets. Ben will believe it. With Hou Ye's ability, where do you want to come with 10,000 soldiers and horses? If you can come to Luoyang to talk to my old marquis, it is to give the old marquis face. It's a rare opportunity to ask for advice from you. Lao Hou knows what to do. Isn't it just 10,000 soldiers and horses? I will definitely choose it myself, absolutely loyal and reliable. ”

"Okay, then let's write a joint letter to Your Majesty. Hehe, with 10,000 secret cavalry, if he starts a war with the Turks in the future, he will definitely make Jieli look good! If you dare to send someone to assassinate Lao Tzu, I must have captured Jieli alive and came back, and let him strip naked and dance in Chang'an City. ”

Burst...... This, this is too ruthless! Folk rumors say that the horse Xiao Rui will be repaid, and the rumors are true!
