lying down

It was near midnight, and there was silence outside the tent, only the breathing of people and the hunting of wax burning could be heard inside.A sense of solemnity crept into Ouyang's heart quietly.

He walked forward vigorously, bowed and clasped his fists, "Zhenwei Captain Ouyang Yu visited the governor! I don't know what orders the governor has for calling someone in the middle of the night?"

Xu Shiji smiled and knelt down behind the short table, pointed to the uppermost position of his left hand, and said loudly: "Sit down! You rarely stay in the camp these days, and you don't show up many nights. This tent is my Bingzhou The mainstay of the camp will follow me to the capital Chang'an tomorrow."

Ouyang hesitated for a moment, most of the people in this account had the same or inferior position as him in terms of armor, but none of them had lower qualifications than him.Although I am a newcomer who is appreciated by the governor and is unique, it is not easy to sit on the top left.In the previous life, the officialdom and army all paid attention to seniority, let alone the army of the Tang Dynasty, seniority was even more important.

He smiled and clasped his fists to look at the crowd, and shook his head lightly: "Captain, everyone present here are all powerful generals in the army, how can there be any reason for me, a newcomer, to be the leader?"

"Mumojiji, I tell you to sit down!" Xu Shiji casually picked up the copywriting on the short table and flipped through a few pages, watching Ouyang barely sit down and said in a deep voice; "Boy, do you remember the time I asked you a few days ago?" As for the matter, I will ask you one last time now, would you like to go with me to the capital to select soldiers? I won’t gossip, the general Hou Junji will be the commander in chief, and it will be difficult for him to be under his command without a name, and he will make great contributions in the future.”

Ouyang pondered for a moment, carefully compared the advantages and disadvantages of going and not going, and said firmly: "Captain, I will not go. The special brigade has just been established and has not yet been finalized. It is really not the time."

"I knew you would say that... Hey, whatever. As long as you don't feel wronged, you can stay here and train me. I hope in my heart that the first strong soldier in the Tang Dynasty will show his sword, and don't let me down. I will go here for at least half a month, at least seven or eight days. If it is late, the day of the military competition will be delayed for a while. When I come back, I want to see the splendor of my camp in Bingzhou, east of the river! You and Let's get to know each other, if they leave here, there is a tenth chance that they will not come back, they are all from our Bingzhou Daying, if there is an official business in the future, besides Zepao, there will be another relationship, in the future, you will join hands no matter where you go Work together!"

Xu Shiji babbled a few words, but Ouyang was moved.This is the governor paving the way for himself and making contacts.These people must be candidates for entering Beijing. You must know that the Tang Dynasty has a strong army, and Hedong is the leader;These middle-level elite generals in the Bingzhou camp have gone, and I am afraid that most or even all of them will stay as the governor said. When Ouyang sees them again, he does not know that it will be the year of the monkey.This is not to be regarded as a familiar face, and it will pave the way for Ouyang to rise up in the future.

In fact, everyone present here knew the meaning of the governor but did not specify it. This is a common practice in the army.The boy in front of him knew that when he came in, he was humble and gave up his seat based on his seniority, because he respected himself, the old people, in his heart.The governor attaches so much importance to it, he will definitely not miss it.In the future, the achievements may be far higher than those of the 15 of them. At that time, they may have to find this kid if they have something to do, so they are even more willing to get to know Ouyang.

Ouyang got up and stood in the middle of the hall, and clasped his fists at each of the 15 low-ranking generals. Those [-] also signed up one by one, and chatted for a while, which was regarded as acquaintance.

Among these 15 people, Ouyang didn't know any of them, but there were two who left a deep impression on him.

A man standing around the age of about, can be regarded as a young and strong faction in the army, but from the appearance, he is ten years older, with sideburns, long curly hair, his face is full of wind and frost that does not match his age, and his eyes show a glint from time to time. Wild and cold, with a strong body like a hill.His voice in return was so hoarse that Ouyang couldn't remember it.This person's surname was An and his name was Hu. Just sitting there, he had a calm aura.

Another person that Ouyang never forgets is a middle-aged lieutenant, surnamed Ge and named Fu Jiang, with a thin body and extremely long hands and feet, but there is a smile in his eyes, and even the corners of his brows and mouth are full of kindness. How do you look at it? How does that face look like a businessman who is going to talk about big business.

Ouyang doesn't judge people by their appearance, it's just that these two people have unique looks and different attitudes, so they naturally stand out from the crowd, and it's hard to pay attention to them.As a newcomer, he naturally pays attention to the proportion of words, what should be said and what should not be said, what should be said more and what should be said less should be in place, and he will leave a good impression on everyone.

As soon as the commander leaves, there will be several lieutenants in charge of the camp. Ouyang has seen them before, and he has the powers delegated by the governor, so he only needs to report to be free.That's fine, the remaining ten days must be a good exercise for everyone.To be honest, Ouyang knew that it would be a fantasy to become an army in one month. If this is true, what kind of wars will be fought in future generations, and it will be terrible to throw the people of the country into the army.In January, Ouyang's first goal was to change their thinking, or expand to some extent, subvert their understanding of war, and let them understand more advanced things from their hearts and minds.Otherwise, no matter how powerful it is, it is useless.The second is to exercise their discipline, this need not be repeated, its importance is the foundation of the foundation of the army no matter in ancient times or in previous lives.The third is the sense of teamwork, and purposefully let them form small teams in each city to independently complete the set tasks of the entire brigade. Ouyang even prepared to mix them up several times if necessary, so that they could not follow a leader to death The habits behind people must learn to think, and learn to actively obey and adapt.This may seem contradictory, but it is very important.

He lay on the wooden bed he propped up with a round wooden pier in the tent, and thought carefully for more than an hour before he felt sleepy...

60 people sat in a large circle in the open space of the special brigade's own small camp, holding various ceramic pots and bowls in their hands, listening to Ouyang speak in the middle of the large circle while eating.

Ouyang chewed the steamed buns in his mouth a few mouthfuls and swallowed them down. Looking at the people who felt such a new way of eating, he asked: "Today I want to ask you a few questions first. The first one is the six-day special training outside the camp. What is it that allowed our special brigade to turn defeat into victory under the siege of [-] scouts and elite soldiers?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, most of them hadn't thought about this question.From their point of view, victory means victory. They have always been used to pure obedience, letting things give way to things. They think too much and can't be the masters, so they don't bother to think about it.But now the brigade commander obviously has a special intention when he asks, so they can't help but think about it carefully.

"Strategy! If it weren't for Lu Commander's Tibetan technique at the beginning, we would have been discovered even after running far."

"that is!"

"Also, everyone, don't forget the skis. That thing has a good feeling. It's hard to chase a horse in the snow. It really comes and goes freely."

"Yes! What Old Wang said makes sense...uh...uh..." The brother only cared about agreeing, but he didn't want to swallow a mouthful of rice without chewing it, and actually choked.

Ouyang looked funny, and continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"

At this time, the lunatic Ye Peng wiped his mouth and shouted: "Actually, you are all a little bit short, even if the brigade commander said discipline, if you don't obey the command, no matter how good the strategy and things are, it will be useless if you put them in the hands of someone who doesn't obey the command. Blind, I think we were buried in the ground and snow at that time, if someone didn’t come up with an idea in advance as previously agreed, then we would have exposed it long ago.”

Ouyang nodded secretly, looking at Ye Peng with a gleam in his eyes.

"I don't think it's either, and it's all..." Zhao Ziang put the bowl on the ground, scratched his scalp and said.

"Brother Zhao, aren't you joking? It's not what you call it, is it?" A soldier who knew Zhao Ziang joked loudly, and everyone laughed out loud.

Ouyang looked at Zhao Ziang's deep thought, and encouraged him: "Keep talking!"

"This battle is not determined by a certain factor. The right time, place and people have both. Thinking about the heavy snow at the time, it was very convenient for us to hide our whereabouts. Our men are in a group, and the commander and others are very clever.. ...that's the way to win. I thought that without any part of it, I couldn't win. And I always have a feeling that Lu Shuai did this on purpose, as if he wanted to tell us something on purpose, but I haven't thought about it until now Clear." Zhao Ziang patted his head shyly again, afraid that he would be laughed at by everyone if he said something wrong.

Ouyang stared at this rude man for a few more times, but he didn't expect that the first person who said these words was the one who was least likely to say these words.He got up and praised: "Brother Zhao has made great progress! You have hit seven or eight points in what you said!"
