lying down

In the study room of the Dudu Mansion, Xu Shiji sat behind a low table, with two layers of thick fur on the floor. He pressed a military water bag on his left knee with his left hand, and saw that the edge of the water bag was already dark red when he touched it. Knowing that the water bag must be boiling hot water.There was a blank foreword in front of him, and a small wolf-hair pen in his right hand was raised lightly. After a short while, he pinched it and blew it a few times. When the ink was dry, he handed it to Liu Yuxuan who stood standing in front of him.

"Yuxuan, today is a new year. Your home is not far from Jinyang. Let me give you a few days off to go home and visit your relatives. I think you have been in the army for a long time. This transport of luggage has repelled the Turkic cavalry , rest assured and wait for the reward."

Liu Yuxuan's fingers hanging on both sides of his body moved, but he didn't take it.Clasping his fists, he stepped forward and said, "Commander, this is an extraordinary time, and I would like to stay in the camp and wait for orders. In case of an emergency, it will be convenient for you to use people. I will go home and have a look when the time is stable. Bar."

Xu Shiji raised his eyebrows, and said sharply with a stern face: "Stinky boy, it's been almost ten years with me, and you dare to disobey the commander's order? If you tell you, you will come back. How can there be so much nonsense! Let me tell you the truth, After this New Year's Eve, I'm afraid it will be a very busy year. Then don't make excuses with me, I won't allow you to leave!"

Liu Yuxuan stretched out his rake-like palm and scratched his head, but when he peeked at the corner of the governor's mouth slightly turned up, he felt a little relieved.He quickly took the teacup on the low table, filled it with hot water, wiped the water stains on the side of the cup with his sleeve, held it to Xu Shiji with both hands smiling, and asked, "Commander, why did I hear the news of the war?" I'm afraid it will be a busy year next year, but there is a war to be fought? If there is a lot of noise, I will not return, I will not return! I will go to train those little bastards, but in the coming year, I have to give it a try Vanguard... no, vanguard, just vanguard! Hehe."

Xu Shiji shook his head and smiled wryly, but he was slightly moved in his heart.As the saying goes, Lu Yao knows horsepower, and time sees people's hearts.This Liu Yuxuan has been with him for some years and has been diligent and courageous. It's just that he was unlucky and didn't get much military exploits, so he couldn't be promoted for a long time.It is true that he would like to stay in the camp, but who doesn't want to go home?At home, wives, children, parents, warm kangs, and hot meals, these seemingly simple things are fatal temptations for ordinary generals who have long-term military careers.The reason why he didn't want to leave was firstly because he wanted to fight and make meritorious service, and secondly because he knew the difficulty of manpower shortage in front of him, so caring!

Thinking of this, Xu Shiji pressed the false token in his hand on the short table, and said, "You brat, you want to be a striker with a hippie smile on my face? All right, let's train your son-in-law to look like a bear and a tiger. You don’t even have to be a striker if you want to!”

When Liu Yuxuan heard this, he immediately complained in his heart. Although the soldiers in his battalion were strong and healthy, they were not a little bit worse than the previous vanguards and forwards in the army.In addition, in the battle of Dashibao not long ago, some capable sergeants in his battalion all died. After returning to Jinyang City to pay the order, he filled up the quota for him, but when he thought of those recruited soldiers, he would be shocked. My brain hurts, who are those people?The unmanageable soldiers, the old and weak who can't support the wall, and the sparse brigade of recruits with less than a hundred people can't even look at them.He thought to himself: "It would be great if all of them had the skills of that kid Ouyang Yu in the Battle of Dashibao!"

"By the way, how did I forget this?!" Thinking of Ouyang Yu, he was elated.Hastily stopped laughing, gave Xu Shiji a military salute seriously, and begged: "Captain, do you think it is possible to recruit little brother Ouyang into the army and transfer him to my command?"

Xu Shiji was serving tea and watching his "performance", but he didn't want him to make this request, and almost choked on the water.Pointing at Liu Yuxuan and cursing with a smile: "You are the only thief? After the battle of Dashibao, his story has spread all over the army camp, and more than a dozen generals and lieutenants have come to ask him openly or secretly. I want to get this person into my camp. You are almost the last one to ask me. Not to mention this, he is the one who made the first contribution in the report to the emperor this time. You Said that he can join you as a pawn? Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. A certain level recruited him into my personal guard a few months ago, but he refused. Do you still want to recruit him into the army? Can you hold it back? Is it?"

Liu Yuxuan was sweating profusely when he heard that, he didn't think that this little brother Ouyang was favored by many parties, and he was a favorite.It's never my turn to get such a good material and beautiful jade, so I can't help but sigh, with a bitter look on my face.

"Okay, okay, stop pretending to be pitiful to me, and go to train soldiers with your heart, and read more military tactics by yourself. If there is a battle in the coming year, I will appoint you as a forward lieutenant general. Go." Xu Shijie beat the stick. , and threw another sweet date.

Liu Yuxuan was overjoyed when he heard it, and hurriedly saluted and thanked him.When he was about to leave, he saw a guard of the governor knocking on the door and came in, he cupped his fists and said, "I'm reporting to the governor, Ouyang Yu is asking to see you outside the door."

Xu Shiji was taken aback for a moment, but after thinking about it, he understood what was going on, and said with a chuckle, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, invite him in."

He only heard the sound of strong and vigorous footsteps, Xu Shiji raised his eyes and saw that Ouyang Yu had already walked in.

As soon as Ouyang Fu entered the door, seeing Liu Yuxuan was there, he couldn't help but smile at each other.He walked up to the Dudu in two steps, clasped his fists in salute and said in a respectful voice: "Ouyang Yu pays his respects to the Dudu, he also met Big Brother Liu."

Xu Shiji narrowed his eyes and looked at him carefully, then nodded.Pointing to the Hu chair next to him, he motioned for him to sit.He said loudly: "Good boy! This trip not only completed the task entrusted to him, but also gave Datang a lot of face. Beat those Turkic dogs and flee, tell me, what reward do you want!"

As soon as Ouyang heard this, he had a good idea, and it is estimated that what he asked for today can be accomplished.After thinking about it for a while, I think it's better to say it at the end, and said with a smile: "I have only completed half of the task entrusted by the governor, and I feel very ashamed in my heart. As for the battle of Dashibao, half of it was due to luck, and there were experts to help , otherwise the result is really hard to say.”

Xu Shiji praised secretly in his heart, this kid is not greedy for merit, he is still humble.It is rare to see people with such calmness at such an age.In fact, he didn't know that Ouyang was a man in two lifetimes, otherwise he wouldn't think so.

"You don't have to be humble, boy. When you first came to Jinyang, I heard adults and my mother praise you. At that time, I didn't completely believe it. When it came to the battle of Dashibao, many people were present to see you. Lianzhu, killing eight people in a row. After breaking the encirclement intention of the Turkic cavalry, and diverting the main force of the enemy so that you were injured and unconscious in the end, I believe that you have something that others don't have."

Xu Shiji paused, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.As if talking about sex, he continued: "One time is by chance and luck, isn't it twice? I have written a paper to ask for credit for all of you, but this time I replied a little late, but you will be rewarded if you can't escape! "

This is straightforward and sincere, and Ouyang secretly admires it.

"Captain, don't praise me. To be honest, it's good to have rewards. What's the point if there are no rewards? These Turkic dogs burn, kill, rob, plunder, and rape. I'm afraid I'll have to go up and fight. In fact, I'm here this time because I have two things to discuss with the governor..." At this point, he paused and looked up at Liu Yuxuan.

Xu Shijie understood at a glance that he had something important to discuss, and said bluntly: "It's okay, if you have anything to say, just tell me, Yuxuan has been with me for more than ten years, believable!"

Ouyang cupped his fists and smiled apologetically, and brought up all the things in his heart: "First, if the Battle of Dashibao was just an encounter, why did the Turkic people penetrate hundreds of miles into the territory of the Tang Dynasty? Why did the Turkic people count places in the world like this Accurate? There is no store in front of this big stone castle, no village in the back, and the geographical location is very special. Also, judging from the layout of the Turkic cavalry at that time, they obviously divided into two groups of ambushes and fell behind the baggage team, which was obviously a premeditated encirclement. Photo From this point of view, there must be an inside line in my city, and it is buried extremely deep, do you think it will..."

It was the first time for Liu Yuxuan to listen to other people's analysis of the signs. Although he experienced it himself, he didn't think about it carefully. At this time, he was shocked and blurted out: "Could it be something?"

As soon as the words fell, he realized that he had violated the etiquette and hurriedly turned around to plead guilty.

Xu Shiji nodded secretly when he heard what Ouyang said. This analysis was no different from what he thought. How could this kid have such a deep observation and grasp of the battlefield?This should be the ability of a 19-year-old youth?Or is this kid born for war?All kinds of thoughts came to my mind one by one, and I couldn't help thinking of taking him into the army again.

Xu Shiji didn't answer, but waved his hand to signal Ouyang to continue talking.

Seeing that the governor did not answer, Ouyang felt a little uneasy.The words were on the edge of my mouth, I couldn't swallow them anymore, and said in my heart: "Secondly, please allow the governor to allow me and the seven brothers to join the army, but it is a military system that our Tang Dynasty has never had before!"

Xu Shiji raised his eyebrows lying down, and asked, "Who are the seven brothers? What is the military system that I have never had before? Tell me in detail!" Look interested.

Ouyang breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Xu Shiji is not conservative. Since he is interested, he is not afraid that the advanced concepts and systems of his previous life will not catch your itch.

He got up and walked in front of the governor, and said loudly: "The word 'special' refers to different types of conventional and irregular troops from our dynasty, and the second refers to the specialization of equipment. The last and most important point is the mission and nature.' Special forces'. Special forces need to use a few short, a dozen or dozens of people to complete a task of reversing the strategy. For example, people see centipedes with many legs and long, and often cut off a section and think that they can kill them. Who knows that this centipede The worm can't die if it doesn't lose its head. On the battlefield, the monarch, general and even the captain of a country are the heads of centipedes, big and small. The main task of this special force is to cut off the evil heads, Crush it so that it will never come back to life, which will lead to the destruction or chaos of the entire country and the army, so as to achieve our strategic goals. The special forces also have some other unconventional tasks, and I will write them down and hand them over to the governor when I go back. "

With a sound of "Gudong", Liu Yuxuan who was standing on the side couldn't help but gulp. He was overwhelmed by this passage, but he could faintly feel the force in it. If such a troop really existed, it would be too heaven-defying!

Xu Shiji's eyes flashed brightly. He climbed up from a small soldier to the position of commander-in-chief, stepping on the pile of dead people. Although he didn't understand some of the words Ouyang said just now, he might as well understand the central meaning of them. It was an undeniable shock.If there is such an army, how much territory can Datang expand?Why did the Tang Dynasty fear the Turks?

His heart was gradually agitated, he stood up suddenly, stared at Ouyang and asked word by word: "Have you ever told others about this?! How did you know the origin of this army?!"
