lying down

Ouyang was lying on the back of the short table in the camp tent, holding a wet name list and was a little dazed. On the name list, the distribution of the soldiers in the brigade after being disordered and mixed was written. Each fire chief had 8 people, 6 Huo has a total of 48 people, plus Goro and other three personal guards, the entire special independent brigade has 60 people, which is still 40 short of the establishment, but Ouyang's heart is not here, his eyes are confused, and he seems to be thinking about other things .

If we follow the trend of history, this year's war with the East Turks is inevitable. Time is not waiting for me. There is not much time left to train the soldiers of this brigade. The special forces are different from ordinary arms. They can be said to be all ordinary arms. Now I have to start from the basic ideological indoctrination, and I have to take into account the future training subjects, military discipline and military regulations, clothing and armor blades, etc., and the restaurant and blacksmith shop in my home are also Just at the beginning, one word: "Thousands of threads".

He pinched his brows and tried his best to maintain a stable state of mind. He understood the meaning of the phrase "haste makes waste", and now he could only implement his plan step by step.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, making Ouyang shiver.

Goro came in and put his hands on his mouth and breathed: "Eighth brother, it's so cold even when it doesn't snow, you're going to freeze to death!"

After finishing speaking, he went directly to the short couple next to Ouyang, put his hands on the brazier to roast, and said: "Don't tell me, the brothers in the army are really interesting. I think when I first came here in the morning, this group The ruffian is at odds with you, and they insist on fighting for life and death; but now, when everyone sits and chats and talks, they are all as close as the brothers and sisters in the neighborhood. Alas, to put it bluntly, they are all from poor families. Lord of the voice, no one is rich and honored, otherwise many people will have passed the service limit and stay here as a death squad, just for that salary to support their families!"

Wu Lang's words touched Ouyang's heartstrings: the Tang Dynasty was in its prime, the Tang Dynasty was in its prime, but I haven't reached the prime in the past two years, and it's a time of many disasters.

"Fifth brother, you went around their camp, did you hear their discussions and opinions on this 'special independent brigade'?" Ouyang thought for a moment, then changed the topic back.

Wulang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Of course I heard it, basically every account is discussing it, but after all, including me, I don't know much about it. Fortunately, I participated in the Nai Shenglan meeting with you last time." I only understand a little bit about the raid on the restaurant, otherwise my brother is no different from them now, and his mind is blank!"

Ouyang nodded. He had expected this. From the nature of the ancient army to the special forces in the previous life, no one could figure it out in a short time. Wu Lang said: "Brother, let's separate the notices and gather in the open space outside the camp. I have something to say."...

The moonlight is like frost, and the stars are dotted. The military camp on a winter night is like a monster lying in the mountains. Without the drills of the soldiers during the day, it is quiet but chilling.

Ouyang stood in front of a fire lamp and looked at 59 men lined up in three rows in front of him. They were of different heights and clothes, but they were all equally stern.

Ouyang took a breath and put it on his hands, a white mist passed through his fingers and palms, and gradually dissipated in front of his hands, he raised his head and asked, "Is it cold?"

Everyone's gazes were focused, and they replied sparsely after a long while: "It's not cold!"

Ouyang smiled, and looked at the crowd through the kerosene lamp behind him, his face turned pale from the cold, and his hands trembled from the cold, "Is it cold?" Ouyang shouted again.

"Not cold." The soldiers thought that the young brigade commander was testing their will, and this time the answer was much more orderly and forceful.

Ouyang stepped forward and touched the hands and faces of a few soldiers, just like touching iron objects that had been placed overnight in the winter night. It was hard and cold. Out!"

Some of the crowd couldn't help hearing this, and tried their best to hold back their laughter.

Ouyang continued to ask without explaining, "Are you afraid of death?"

A powerful roar rushed towards him: "Don't be afraid." The voice rolled out like thunder.

But Ouyang said: "I'm afraid, sometimes my heart almost jumps out of my throat!"

This time everyone was stunned. No one understood what their new brigade commander was doing. Asking one question and another question was simply irrelevant. What's more, if he shouted "fear of death" in front of other officers, I'm afraid he would go to the hospital first. If you have to suffer thirty army sticks, ask again.

Ouyang looked at the puzzled expressions of everyone, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Who is not afraid of death, then he can become a god. Fear of death and avoiding death are two concepts. My special independent traveler China does not accept soldiers who dare not tell the truth and only know how to speak boldly, so you answer me after you have thought about it, you are not afraid of death or not!"

"Afraid!!!"

This was an earth-shattering roar, which made Ouyang's ears hurt. He said solemnly: "The first rule of my trip is not to kneel, and the second rule is to tell the truth and dare to tell the truth." Regardless of whether you are standing in front of you, the leader of the fire, the leader of the team, or me, the commander of the brigade, even if the governor is here, you must dare to speak out, this is the character and right you should have as a person."... ...

These roars startled the soldiers and generals in the nearby camps, and they all gathered around their camps to watch quietly.

"Captain, this, this is too outrageous. You are not allowed to leave the camp casually at night, and you are not allowed to shout like this. What's more, Captain Zhenwei taught the soldiers to shout 'fear of death', which is also..." A lieutenant standing behind Xu Shiji took a step forward and complained in a low voice. His words resonated with most of the generals who gathered around the governor, and they all felt that Ouyang's move was a little too much.

Xu Shiji tightened the heavy cloak on his body, a strange light flashed in his eyes, he stretched out his hand and waved it back, motioning them to keep quiet...

Ouyang's explanation almost completely subverts the ideology of this group of soldiers. In the army, they must learn to talk to people and talk to others, otherwise they will be miserable, even if they are soldiers on the battlefield. Desperadoes must also learn to adapt to the wind in the army, otherwise the seventeen prohibitions and 54 beheadings are just a joke.

"You don't need to understand now, you just need to remember and keep it firmly in your heart, even if you die, you have to remember it for me in the Underworld." Ouyang stood in front of the 59 people and roared like a mad lion. He is trying his best to change their ideas bit by bit and plant the seeds. He doesn't want an army with no thoughts and a strong body. Such people can be infantry and cavalry, but they are absolutely not allowed to exist in his special independent brigade .

He pointed to the generals and soldiers who were watching outside, and continued to roar: "You are different from them. What you often have to face in war is isolation and helplessness, going deep into the enemy's territory, surviving like a wolf and The existence of biting off the target's neck with one bite, even when everyone around you is dead, you have to complete this goal by yourself. You will not have two-winged cavalry guards, you will not have archers behind you, and no one will beat you Helping the war, all you will have is loneliness, loneliness, and endurance, and then you will die or the other will die, but every action of yours can save thousands of Zepao from the sword, and you can save tens of thousands of people. Thousands of people are saved under the iron cavalry!"

When Ouyang said this, he stopped, looked at the soldier's heaving chest, and listened to the loud noise and curses around him.

The corners of his mouth were raised, and there was an imperceptible smile. He turned around and pulled out the barrier knife he was issued with a "squeak", and a dazzling silver cold light flashed along the blade.

He shouted: "Remember, you are the unique 'special soldiers' of the Tang Dynasty, and you are the king of soldiers." After saying that, he slashed the knife towards the ground, a few sparks flashed, and a stroke one inch deep The scratch appeared in front of everyone, he pointed at the scratch with a knife and said in a deep voice: "The last chance, those who want to stay in my special independent brigade stand up for me, those who don't have the courage and patience, please come out This line will never be recorded after you leave!"

After finishing speaking, he put the long knife into its sheath and stood still.

Quiet, terribly quiet, even the laughing and scolding people watching outside didn't make a sound. I don't know if they were surprised by this lunatic-like brigade commander or wanted to watch the show quietly.

Ouyang waited for a while, with a big smile on his face, and asked casually, "Are you afraid of death?"

"Afraid!!!"

"who are you!"

"The King of Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!!!"

"Do you understand what special forces are now?"

"understood!"

Everyone in the periphery was shocked by this weird question and answer, the king of Tang soldiers who is afraid of death! !It's a joke in the world.

"Where is Ouyang Yu, Lieutenant Zhenwei?" Before they could think too much, a stern roar came from the crowd.

Ouyang turned his head to look, and saw Xu Shiji striding forward wrapped in a cloak, he took two quick steps and clasped his fists and said, "Ouyang Yu, the commander of the special brigade, has seen the governor!"

Xu Shiji waved his hand back and said, "Where is the law enforcement team? This captain gathered his troops at night without making any announcement, and caused the crowd to roar. Although there is a special order from our emperor, you shouldn't act like this without reporting it. Give him three blows on the spot." ten!"

Ouyang Yu thought to himself, he deliberately made such a commotion to attract people to watch, so that the soldiers under his command would plant the deep imprint of what he said and did that night in his mind, and plant the seeds, and at the same time announce it to the Bingzhou camp The special independent brigade came here forcefully. Now that the goal has been achieved, the thirty boards are worth it.

He didn't care, but it didn't mean that the soldiers who had just been teased by his words were willing to be punished by the brigade commander. Ouyang turned around and shouted: "Stand still, this is the punishment I deserve. Don't forget the military rules!"

After that, he turned around and lay on the ground without moving...

"Crack, crack." One stick after another struck heavily on Ouyang Yu's back and buttocks. The soldiers and brothers behind him felt heartbroken, but they couldn't see Ouyang grinning and grinning.

After thirty sticks, Ouyang tried his best to get up, he didn't even need to look, he knew that his back must be bruised.

At this time Xu Shiji walked slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't just focus on teaching others the rules, but forget the rules yourself. After one month, if you can train this group of people to look good in the competition and win, I promise you One side of the special military flag, as well as the military uniform, military rank and other things you told me, if you lose, I will be your brigade commander honestly and dutifully!"

Enduring the severe pain in his back, Ouyang replied respectfully: "Ouyang obeys the order, but the governor, I have one more request, and I hope the governor will fulfill it!"

Xu Shiji let out an imperceptible smile in the night, quickly put it away, and asked: "Your boy always has to negotiate conditions, so let's talk, I will agree to what is reasonable!"

Ouyang Lang said: "I still have 40 vacancies in the brigade. If I win in one month, I have to see these 40 people with my own eyes and try them before I can join the brigade. Otherwise, I would rather be short than indiscriminate!"

"Sure." Xu Shiji didn't even think about it, he wished the new team could beat ten with one, then turned and left...
