The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng started the work of the new dynasty in their respective positions, but the Turks in the north still stood like a thorn in their hearts.

The Turkic envoys above the court made a lot of nonsense, but they were sneered at by Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin, and the Jieli Khan on the Weishui River was treacherous, but he didn't know that the Tang Dynasty in front of him was actually strong and menacing, and in desperation, Jieli Khan and Li Shimin made an alliance on the bank of the Weishui River, and then the Turks quickly retreated.

Faced with the situation in front of them, which was not very optimistic, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng began to plan the next step of the layout.

In the sky of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the blazing sun is unscrupulously bird's-eye view of the Central Plains, in the school field on the side of the open gate, 10,000 newly recruited soldiers, according to a phalanx of 2,000 people, standing in place with a full body armor holding a blade, the school field is silent, although there are occasional gusts of breeze passing by, but the wind blowing at this time makes people hot and dry.

Sweat began to pour out along the forehead, back, and armpits, and the people who had assembled in the school yard since the beginning of the year were already dizzy from the sun at the moment, and they couldn't wait to find a shady place to rest, but the chief officer was not present, and the black-armored cavalry who were in charge of guarding around the school yard were also standing motionless in place like everyone else.

People with a little knowledge know that these black-armored cavalry are the second batch of Tiance troops trained by His Royal Highness King Xian, and they follow His Majesty and King Xian many times to make military exploits, it is said that since the unification of the Central Plains, these people have been stationed in border towns all year round, and often engage in small-scale battles with the Turks, and everyone who survived crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Gao Zhiping, standing in one of the phalanxes, although the sweat had already flowed to his eyes at this moment, he still didn't dare to stretch out his hand to wipe it, before entering the school grounds, everyone signed and drew a document to ensure strict obedience to the management, and then everyone also received three months' salary, and was told that their household registration had been converted to a military household, but the specific rules still need to be promulgated by His Royal Highness King Xian himself.

Gao Zhiping belonged to the loss of his father since childhood, previously lived in Yizhou with his mother, and later because of the persecution of the people by Hao Sijie, the assassin of Yizhou, he had no choice but to come to Chang'an, and heard that the matter of Yizhou had been dealt with by the then minister of the Qin Mission, Chu Mofeng, and was grateful, and decided to join the army to serve the court, and Gao Zhiping came to Chang'an this time, and still had some personal thoughts, but he never told his mother.

When Gao Zhiping was fighting, they only heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves outside the school field, and everyone couldn't help but look back when they saw this, but found that the black-armored soldiers around them were all kneeling down and looking ahead.

I saw a group of cavalry like a black dragon, rolling up the dust and rushing to the school grounds, the leader was dressed in a black python robe, wearing a hideous Yaksha mask on his face, followed by a man dressed in black, with a little youth and perseverance under his cold face.

The first person waved his hand, and all the black armor got up and stood up, and then turned into a static state, this person looked at the five phalanxes in front of him, couldn't help frowning, and jumped up to the general platform with an arrow and said loudly: "Do you remember the documents you signed yesterday? The first article above is to obey the management, this king did not let you turn back, why do you go against military discipline and look back privately?"

Seeing this, this person sneered and said: "Since you have signed and drawn, then as a soldier, you must first learn to order and prohibit, if you can't even do this......" This person stretched out his hand and pointed to the gate of the school field, "The gate is over there, and I will leave with my burden, and this king will not tolerate anyone who does not obey orders." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone knew that the person on the stage who loudly scolded himself turned out to be the younger brother of the Tang Emperor, the former hussar general, the former secretary of the military department, the founder of the two batches of Tiance Army, and the virtuous king Chu Mofeng, who was regarded as the god of war by the Turks.

I saw Chu Mofeng beckoning to the man dressed in black and said, "Xue Yun, from now on, the three-month assessment training will begin, and all the unqualified people will be eliminated, understand?"

Seeing this, Xue Yun nodded, remembering what Chu Mofeng said to himself that day and night, that night Xue Yun stood in the study of King Xian's Mansion, still respectfully waiting for Chu Mofeng to give an order, but saw Chu Mofeng pressing himself on the chair, and then said softly: "It's hard for you to be by Li Jiancheng's side all these years, I promised that after Your Majesty succeeds to the throne, I will let you reappear in a different identity, why don't you listen to dissuasion today, and still tell your identity as the deputy protector of the East Palace?"

"His Royal Highness King Qiyuxian, my subordinates think that if you conceal it and don't report it, it will inevitably have some adverse effects on you and Your Majesty if it is found out by someone with a heart......" Speaking of this, Xue Yun glanced at Chu Mofeng with a little apprehension, "If someone makes things difficult for His Highness because of this matter, then his subordinates will definitely leave on their own and not cause trouble to you and Your Majesty." ”

After listening to Xue Yun's words, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart, and immediately said with a smile: "It's okay, since Your Majesty has appointed you as the deputy commander of this army, then you can do it with confidence, as for other things, don't worry about other things, this king will handle it for you." ”

"Your Highness's great kindness and great virtue, the last general will never forget, and the only way to lead his subordinates to defeat the Turks in this life is to repay His Highness's kindness. Xue Yun nodded when he heard this, and then asked with a little hesitation: "Your Highness, how should this group of soldiers practice, and please ask Your Highness for advice." ”

Immediately, Chu Mofeng began to explain the training to Xue Yun, during which Chu Mofeng deliberately spoke slower to make it easier for Xue Yun to remember, and improvised questions from time to time, so that Xue Yun opened his mind and began to change from an undercover assassin to a general.

At this moment, Xue Yun walked to the point of the general and announced the various assessment contents one by one, this assessment broke the previous way of training first and then assessment, and adopted a new method, in view of the next step is to face the Turks who are good at riding and archery, the assessment is divided into the following types;

The first is to test the strength, because the soldiers who are at the forefront of the battle are all soldiers with large shields, in the face of the enemy's charge, if the strength is insufficient, it is easy to scatter with one blow;

The second is the arm strength and eyesight test, an excellent archer, in addition to the requirements of the arm strength, can open three stones or even four stone bows, the most important thing is to have good eyesight, otherwise you can pull the bow and arrows, but each one misses, a big battle down the arrow loss increased but there is no input, is not useless;

The third is the equestrian and courage test, as an excellent scout, while probing the enemy's situation, you must be ready to be pursued by the enemy at any time, if you see the enemy in a big pursuit, you will be frightened, or because of the equestrian skills are not good enough to delay the transmission of information, a big battle may lead to a total defeat because of one piece of information, and the remaining two are the battle and the conventional technical and tactical assessment.

As soon as these contents were announced, everyone couldn't help but talk about it, and there was a roaring voice in their ears, Chu Mofeng's face gradually began to change color, and the Tiance army who was in charge of guarding around saw this, and couldn't help but hurriedly lower their heads, thinking that Dashuai This is a precursor to a frenzy, this group of recruits is really unbelievable, this is the highest and best place for Datang to pay silver, thinking that his group of people was thrown to Yiwu by Dashuai, saying that it was a radiation to the border of the north, but in fact, it was a real sword and a real gun to fight against the Turks.

In the first time in Yiwu, whenever the four commanders received the flying pigeon transmission from the commander, it meant that they had to cross the border to the Turks to raid, and this act was affectionately called 'wild food' by many people, although the name sounded beautiful, but in fact it was mixed with blood and killing.

At the beginning, the 1,000 Tiance army robes that went to Yiwu, although they still maintain the establishment of 1,000 people, but most of the people around them have become new faces, there is a battle and there is death, a robe is spilled with blood, and then someone will rush from the capital to fill it, the most tragic Tiangong battalion in order to cover the retreat of the large army, the whole battalion of 250 people only came back 100 people, and after the newcomers were replenished, the commanders led the whole team to collect the remains, the tragic situation at the scene was already vivid, and many of the robes' quivers were already empty, once like a shadow The longbows lay desolate on the ground, and some of the robes were clinging to their enemies before they died, and it took great effort for them to be separated.

Those faces that were still playing and laughing last night were lying quietly on the ground at this moment, their bodies had already stopped breathing coldly, and the group of newcomers who had filled in made a shocking move at that time, everyone took off the armor of their sacrificial robes and put them on themselves, and then resolutely picked up the weapons scattered on the ground and joined the ranks of cleaning up the battlefield.

For this reason, the marshal sent a six-hundred-mile urgent document, originally thought that it must be a reprimand, but the four commanders were ready to write a letter to ask for guilt, who knew that there was only one sentence on the document; if you lose, you will win back, the people of the Central Plains are watching you, and His Royal Highnesses the King and King Qin are also watching you.

The following day, a team of about 200 people came to Yiwu from outside the city, and the soldiers defending the city saw that they were dressed in the same uniform as the Tiance army in the city, and hurriedly came to report it, and after some inquiry, they learned that this group of people was the predecessors of their own people, that is, the first batch of Tiance troops trained by His Royal Highness King Xian back then.

I still remember that the group of people stood quietly in place after arriving at the school grounds, and the murderous aura emitted by the whole team filled the air wantonly, and the group only briefly asked, and then turned to leave Igo. Who knew that five days later, this group of people returned to Yiwu again, each with blood on their bodies but extremely excited, only after questioning did they know that this group of people actually crossed the border and killed the tribe that blocked them at that time, and vaguely remembered what the man named Zhao Xin said at that time: "Although it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but the people of the Central Plains can't wait for this ten years, and it is not shameful to be beaten, if you don't fight back instantly, it is shameful, and those who offend my Central Plains will not die." ”

So far, this group of people has stayed in Igo, and while they are responsible for teaching new techniques and tactics, they have also participated in many encirclement and suppression operations. Everyone knows in their hearts that His Royal Highness King Xian's greatest wish in this life is to break through the Turkic royal court and seek justice for the suffering people of the Central Plains.

On the eve of the Xuanwumen Change, Yiwu received instructions from His Royal Highness King Xian and sent two hundred people back to the capital, and then His Highness set up a new army, and these two hundred people temporarily stayed in Chang'an as a guide.

Suddenly, Chu Mofeng shouted loudly with all his strength: "Shut up to this king, all of them are crooked like women, how can they look like a Tang soldier, believe it or not, this king is a hundred times stronger than you when he finds a woman?"

Seeing Chu Mofeng's frenzy, everyone immediately fell silent, and Gao Zhiping stood in the crowd and muttered in a whisper: "Is this virtuous king joking? How can a woman be a hundred times stronger than a man?" Who knew that his voice was heard by Chu Mofeng, only to see Chu Mofeng stretch out his hand and say to Gao Zhiping: "You, it's you, out of the ranks, what's your name, where are you, why do you think women are inferior to men?"

Seeing this, Gao Zhiping hurriedly flashed out and replied loudly, "His Royal Highness King Qiyuxian, in Xia Gao Zhiping, a former native of Bohai County, learned bows and arrows since childhood, and thinks that no woman can be stronger than him. ”

"Gao Zhiping, a native of Beixian County, isn't Lord Gao Xian, a loyal and righteous candidate from your Beixian County?" As soon as he heard that he was still his fellow countryman, maybe he could have something to do with it when he asked, Chu Mofeng suddenly became interested, "You have a lot of talents in Guixian, now the buyer of the palace, Gao Hongyi, and the secretary and young eunuch Gao Biaoren, aren't they all from your Guixian?

Hearing that Chu Mofeng mentioned the names of Gao Biaoren and Gao Hongyi, Gao Zhiping thought that His Royal Highness the Virtuous King was really a well-informed person, so he immediately nodded and agreed, "Cheng, but do you want to bet on something?"

"You win, my coach position is given to you, if you lose, just obediently roll back into the queue and do what Vice Marshal Xue asks, do you dare?" Hearing that the other party was going to gamble on something, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but laugh a little, and then whispered in Xue Yun's ear, who hurriedly rode away from the school when he heard this.

And Gao Zhiping asked the Tiance army on the side to borrow a longbow and ten arrows, quietly waiting for the arrival of the other party, and after a while, a fiery red figure rode into the school field, and when they saw this person coming, a group of Tiance troops knelt down again and shouted; ”

The person who came was Dou Jingyan, the princess on the side of King Xian's mansion, I saw Dou Jingyan turn over and dismount beautifully, waved her hand at everyone, and then jumped on the platform with an arrow, and gave a salute to Chu Mofeng and said, "I don't know why His Highness summoned his concubines to come?"

"Some people say that women are inferior to men, but this king doesn't believe it, so I bother you to try your archery skills with you, no problem, right?" Chu Mofeng helped Dou Jingyan up, and then dusted off her body for her, and then said to Gao Zhiping: "This is the person this king called to compete with you, each of you has ten arrows, and the one who hits the bull's-eye the most wins." Let's go. ”

Seeing this, Gao Zhiping arched his hand at Dou Jingyan and said, "Since this is the case, you come first." Who knew that Dou Jingyan smiled and said: "It's a guest from afar, you can invite it first." With that, he walked to his mount, then took a prosaic longbow from his horse, put on his quiver, and walked towards Gao Zhiping.

Just as he was about to give in, someone in the crowd who couldn't wait shouted: "I said, boy, can you do it? If you can't do it, you will go down and accept the punishment obediently." Then the crowd began to heckle.

Then Gao Zhiping shook his head helplessly, thinking that after the master I finished shooting ten arrows, Zhun Bao made you speechless, and then Gao Zhiping calmly began to stretch his bow and arrows, only to hear a sound, the first arrow shot out of the bull's-eye quickly, and everyone present applauded when they saw this, and then Gao Zhiping shot out the remaining nine arrows in the cheers of everyone, a total of nine targets, one missed. Seeing this, everyone present applauded.

And Gao Zhiping said to Dou Jingyan with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the side princess, do you think there is still a need for us to compete in this result?"

I saw Dou Jingyan smile and said: "Let's talk about it after the competition, after all, my Royal Highness is still watching from above, wouldn't it make His Highness laugh if it's not finished." At this time, the arrow target had been replaced with a new one, and as soon as Dou Jingyan's voice fell, she immediately opened her bow and set up her arrows, and quickly shot ten arrows, and then put away her longbow and saluted Chu Mofeng on the stage, turned over and left the school.

At this time, he never heard the report of the target, Gao Zhiping saw this and thought that the other party had missed all the shots, and he did not dare to report the target because of the identity of the princess on the side, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at the target, only to see the bullseye of the target, the original red dot was gone, leaving only a hollow, and the person who reported the target shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, His Royal Highness the Princess of the Side." ”

Gao Zhiping couldn't believe it when he saw this, and immediately ran to the arrow target to investigate carefully, only to see that behind the arrow target, ten arrows were all stuck on a point on the ground, and at this time, thunderous cheers broke out in the school field, Gao Zhiping walked to the point of view in despair, and looked at Chu Mofeng with a puzzled face.

I saw Chu Mofeng wave his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said to Gao Zhiping with a smile: " Ordinary men have archery skills like yours since it is rare, but this king, the side princess, before passing the door is the deputy general of the general Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, the guard of the Niangzi Pass, is famous for her bow and horse skills, and today she is also a little victorious, don't be deceived by the bow in her hand, it is the overlord bow handed down from ancient times, the king thinks that if she snipes the king with a bow and arrow, in the case of no defense, the king can only dodge her two arrows, today she just used the most common archery method, and she what two dragons play with pearls, meteors catch the moon, and it's useless for three stars to shoot or anything. ”

I saw Gao Zhiping sitting paralyzed on the ground, and said in a sneering voice: "Your Highness, if the villain loses, he loses, and the villain is convinced." ”

Who knew that Chu Mofeng jumped off the point to help Gao Zhiping up, and then said to everyone present: "Today's competition is not to fight for who wins and who loses, but to tell you that there are people outside the people and mountains outside the mountains, if you don't practice your skills and tactics hard, when you fight against the Turks in the future, how can you let the people of the Central Plains live in peace?"

Then Chu Mofeng turned over and said loudly: "Everyone, since you have walked into the gate of this school, it means that you are all bloody men, at this moment, the Turks in the north are still eyeing our land, Your Majesty is bitter, in order to be able to exchange for our recuperation, Your Majesty can only temporarily tolerate the Turks, but think about the people in the north, do you think we can bear it?"

Everyone present listened to Chu Mofeng's words, and for a while, all the pride in their hearts was mobilized, and they immediately shouted in unison;

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng nodded, and then said loudly: "In this case, you can only obey the order and practice your combat skills hard, and then you can seek justice for the people of the Central Plains and Your Majesty on the battlefield. Those who offend my Central Plains land will not die', today this king will combine these two sentences into one and send them to you, I hope you will remember that those who offend my Central Plains land will not die even if they are far away. ”

As soon as Chu Mofeng's words fell, the Chang'an campus suddenly turned into a scorching furnace, and everyone present raised their arms and shouted in unison, while the Tiance Army on the side looked at Chu Mofeng with tears in his eyes, leaned his right hand into a fist on his chest, and gave a military salute unique to Chu Mofeng, and Chu Mofeng also returned a military salute when he saw this.

Then Chu Mofeng shouted to the field: "Now, you start running circles around the school field for this king, and run until Vice Marshal Xue shouts to stop, if anyone falls behind, cancel the meal today." Then Chu Mofeng turned to Xue Yun who had tears in his eyes beside him and said: "Quickly wipe it, they are all people who are generals, why are they still as sentimental as a child, don't let them stop if you can't finish twenty laps, these people will be handed over to you from today onwards, you don't have to worry about technical tactics, there are two hundred days of the army responsible for teaching, you have to let them understand that in the future, when you go to the north to fight, the direction your sword is pointing is the direction of their charge, understand?"

Seeing this, Xue Yun knelt down on one knee and whispered to Chu Mofeng: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Xue Yun, the deputy marshal of the Longcheng Army, will do his best to live up to His Highness's trust." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng helped Xue Yun up, and said in his ear: "Three meals a day must be prepared, if there is a need for ordnance and materials, just write a note and report it to the military department, you can watch it here, this king will leave first." "In Xue Yun's shout of 'Congratulations to His Highness', Chu Mofeng turned over and left the school grounds, walking towards the palace.

At this moment, in a side hall of Taiji Palace, Xiao Yu was looking at Li Shimin with a puzzled face, "Your Majesty, when the Turks were not ready to make peace before, the generals rushed to ask for battle, but Your Majesty did not allow it, and we were also puzzled by Your Majesty's approach. Soon, the Turks retreated automatically, what is the secret of this?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's question, Li Shimin remembered the strange strategies he and Chu Mofeng came up with in the imperial study in order to retreat from the enemy, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Although I observed that although there were a large number of Turkic soldiers and horses, the lineup was not neat, and the intention of the Turkic monarchs and ministers was just to blindly covet money. However, when the Turks asked for peace, the Khan was left alone on the west bank of Weishui, and all the dignitaries in his positions came to see me, as long as we controlled a little and attacked the Turks, the situation would be as devastating. And the emperor's younger brother had already asked me to let the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing ambush the troops in Youzhou to wait for work, and if the Turks fled back, there would be interceptions in front and pursuers in the back, and it would be easy to eliminate them. I refuse to fight them because I have been on the throne for a short time, the country has not yet been settled, and the people are not rich. Once the war with the Turks starts, the people of the Northland will inevitably be caught in the flames of war again, and the Turks will inevitably be vigilant and prepare for war, and we will not be able to get what they want......"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help sighing, "That's why I decided to stop the war and stop the army, and use gold, silver, wealth and silk as a guide to negotiate peace with it, and after the army is reorganized, I will wave the Northern Expedition and fight a war, I have never forgotten the agreement with the imperial brother, and I am bound to break through the Turkic court and return all the suffering suffered by the people of the Central Plains." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu made a big salute to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty is really a generation of Ming Jun, this kind of strategy is not something that the ministers can think of!"

Who knew that after Li Shimin motioned for him to get up, he said with a smile: "Xiao Aiqing, don't praise me, this kind of strategy is not something I came up with, it was all thought up by the imperial brother, I only made a slight change, and finally it was formed by me and the imperial brother." ”

Hearing that Chu Mofeng came up with it, Xiao Yu thought that he couldn't complain that His Majesty could succeed to the throne so smoothly, it turned out that there was a virtuous king on the side to give advice, originally thought that this person was just a martial artist, who knew that his mind was so meticulous, and his strategy was ruthless, if this person was to be crowned a marquis and worship the prime minister, Datang Zhongxing would be just around the corner, but after thinking about it, Chu Mofeng was already the emperor's younger brother, and His Majesty had bypassed the military department and handed it over to him to deal with the front-line war and military training matters, so it was superfluous for him to have a little thought.

While he was thinking about it, he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Xian asks to see you." ”

"Xuan", as Li Shimin shouted, Chu Mofeng walked in slowly, first saluted Li Shimin, and then turned to Xiao Yu and said, "I don't know that Lord Xiao is also here, I didn't disturb you and Your Majesty's discussion, right?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yu respectfully bowed and said, "Your Highness is joking, the minister is asking His Majesty about the retreat from the enemy that day, why bother with it." ”

"Then the king will interject a digression, I wonder if Your Majesty can think about the name of the new army?" Seeing this, Chu Mofeng also remembered the strange ideas he had discussed with Li Shimin that day, and couldn't help but smile.

"Tomorrow, the new army will officially give the name Longcheng Army. Li Shimin looked at Chu Mofeng and smiled, and then said with a little jokingness: "If there is nothing to do today, I will go to the imperial study later, I have important matters to discuss." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded when he saw this, then turned around and walked towards the door, and when he was about to walk to the door, he heard Li Shimin whisper: "Shicai forgot to remind you, Princess Danyang entrusted me to go to Lingxuan Pavilion to talk if I see you." Listening to Li Shimin's words, Chu Mofeng stumbled and almost fell to the ground......

As the saying goes, there is only one beauty in the country, and look at the deep roots of Danyang princess Li Yueqing, and then look at the emperor's brother Chu Mofeng's clever refusal, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
