——"Reminiscing Qin'e Xiao Sheng Yan" Li Bai

……

After returning to the barracks, Bai Fu dispatched a large amount of grain and sent people to the col.Distributed by several patriarchs to nearby villages.

Ten days later, thousands of strong and strong men came to the Anbeiting barracks in batches and signed up to join the army.In the next few days, people from the recruiting office came and went, shoulder to shoulder, in an endless stream.

The brigade commander who recruited troops was overjoyed. For the first time in the years of recruiting, he saw so many soldiers of the right age.

After the recruitment of soldiers was full, the recruiting captain asked Bai Fu if he would continue to expand his recruitment.

Bai Fu shook his head and said: "We can't exceed the number, otherwise the censor will impeach us. Once the court blames us, not only will we be punished, but General Guangbi will also be implicated."

The recruiting officer said regretfully: "The people who signed up to join the army this time are all strong and strong men. Most of them still have a foundation in martial arts, and they are rare good soldiers. Once they miss it, I don't know if there will be such an opportunity next time." .”

Bai Fu had a thought, and that night, Bai Fu called Huyan Tieyi, Tang Kui and Yue Huzhu into the account.

Bai Fu first explained the establishment of the imperial court, and then said to Yue Huzhu: "The recruiting captain is also reasonable. It would be a pity if we missed this batch of soldiers.

After thinking about it, I want to wait until the training of your new recruits is over, and you will lead the team, select soldiers with outstanding performance to return to the village, form a militia regiment, and train directly in the village.

Training troops during the slack season, farming during the busy season, and training troops in the fields are the same.

I will send a group of excellent instructors to assist you in training your bravery, and distribute corresponding weapons and equipment to you. "

Yue Huzhu said with a smile: "If this is the case, that would be great. In the future, when they need to replenish the source of troops, they can join the army at any time."

Speaking of this, Yue Huzhu hesitated for a while, and said: "General, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

Bai Fu smiled and said, "Brother Yue, please speak frankly."

Yue Huzhu said: "In the past two days, I heard from the recruiting brigade commander that after the recruiting is over, the children in our village will be disrupted and divided into different battalions."

Huyan Tieyi said: "Yes, this is how recruits are recruited in the army. What's wrong?"

Yue Huzhu pondered over his words, and said, "General, the peasant boys are very nervous when they leave their hometown and come to this strange environment in the army.

If you don’t mix them up, putting soldiers from a village or a township in one battalion can minimize this strange feeling..."

"Nonsense! If that's the case, are the recruits trained from the army of Datang or your village?!" Before Yue Huzhu could finish speaking, Huyan Tieyi had already started bearding and staring.

"Huyan, wait for Brother Yue to finish speaking." Bai Fu glared at Huyan Tieyi.Huyan Tieyi stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly backed away.

Yue Huzhu was very grateful to Bai Fu for his rescue, and he saluted again, saying: "General, there is another benefit for the soldiers of a village to be organized into a battalion."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Bai Fu encouraged Yue Huzhu to continue with his eyes.

With Bai Fu's encouragement, Yue Huzhu strengthened his belief, and he said loudly: "I heard that during the battle, the Tang army often lost the whole battle because of individual troops fleeing before the battle.

If the folks from the village are organized into a battalion, because they are all related to each other, if someone is lost in the battle, the rest of the folks will fight to the death until they are rescued! "

"Fight to the death!"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Fu's eyes lit up, and he weighed Yue Huzhu's suggestion.

Bai Fu thought to himself, "For the decisive battle in Heyang, General Guangbi will personally sit in charge.

Even so, if he hadn't held the golden ordering arrow of "Zhan Lijue" and stood behind the position to supervise the execution, the first ones to escape from the battle would be Pu Gu Huai'en and his son.

Blood is thicker than water, isn't the kinship between neighbors stronger than any military regulations? "

Thinking of this, Bai Fu said: "Brother Yue, since the establishment of the Tang Army, it has never trained recruits like this."

Yue Huzhu's eyes darkened, and his heart turned cold.He actually knew this, but it was just a fluke.Hearing Bai's reply, he stopped arguing.

Seeing this, Bai Fu smiled slightly and said, "However, everything must not be rigid. Crossing the river by feeling the stones is a good strategy. If you want to innovate, you have to take some risks.

Well, let's divide the recruits into two groups, and one group will be organized according to the old method.A group is built according to the method you said.

Three months later, the two teams of recruits will compare each other to see whose soldiers have better military discipline and stronger fighting power, and then they will train recruits according to whose method.

This may be the best way to test this method! "

Yue Huzhu was overjoyed, bowed and said: "I promise not to disappoint the general!"

Huyan Tieyi joked beside him: "Hey, Lao Yue, don't be in a hurry to thank the general. If it's going to work, after three months, you'll have to pass Huyan's test first!"

Yue Huzhu smiled proudly at Huyan Tieyi, and said: "Old Tie, after three months, I promise to convince you to lose. Just wait and cry in front of the general!"

Everyone looked at each other and laughed.

……

After the matter of recruiting troops is resolved, the next task is the training of recruits, the improvement of individual martial arts skills of veterans, and the rehearsal of each army's battle formation.

Bai Fu called the marching commander and the main generals under his command to discuss this matter:

The newly recruited Jingzhuang Xiangyong, although he has the foundation of Shaolin martial arts, has never received military training before.The problem they urgently need to solve is: quickly familiarize themselves with various weapons of the Tang army, and master the martial arts skills to kill the enemy in battle.

The elite of the former Anxi Court are all veterans of many battles, and their combat capabilities are extremely strong.But the advantages are also the disadvantages. It is quite difficult for them to further improve and change their inherent bad habits.

The elites of Chuan Gang are all martial arts masters with solid foundation and abundant internal energy.But killing the enemy on the battlefield is no better than fighting with weapons in the rivers and lakes. There is no such thing as running away if you can't beat it.

What they want to improve is: when fighting on foot, in a small space, without relying on maneuvering and dodging, they can still turn offense and defense, and kill the enemy quickly;

The focus of training needs to be spent on teamwork, especially the drills of various battle formations.

When Bai Fu and the others were racking their brains on how to carry out the training, the soldiers rushed into the big tent and said anxiously: "General, it's not good, there was a dispute between the disciples of the Chuan Gang and the soldiers from the Anbei Court at Yanwuping, push and push Shoving and shoving, it looks like a fight is about to start."

Fighting with weapons in private in the army is a felony.Those who provoke trouble may even be sentenced to death.

When the two forces are merging, no matter which side is hurt, it is not a good thing.

The generals looked at each other and could see the fear in each other's eyes.

Bai Fu's expression darkened, he lifted the curtain, and led the generals to the scene of the disturbance.

Arriving at Yanwuping, the emotions of the two parties have reached their peak, there is a lot of shouting and scolding, and conflicts are imminent.

Seeing the coach and high-ranking generals in the army approaching, the two parties realized that they had caused a catastrophe, and immediately calmed down.

There were thousands of people and horses on the school field, and there was no sound.The soldiers who made the most trouble were anxious, not knowing what kind of punishment they would face.Those who participated in the trouble calmed down and regretted it.

Bai Fu looked around the school grounds, his eyes were cold, and the hostility flashed in his eyes, he shouted: "Where is the army?"

A dozen or so soldiers with helmets and armor came out in a file, Bai Fu pointed to the audience, and shouted: "Tie up the troublemaker!"
