Liu Ziqiu was surprised: "The general is saying that you shouldn't train soldiers?"

"No. Soldiers must be trained, but you can't do it right." Liu Yu shook his head and said, "The imperial court must gather a large army, and the direction of using troops must be in the north. The barbarians in the north are all good at riding and shooting. You practiced it." Assassination is hard to achieve, and we need to form an array."

Liu Ziqiu didn't hide anything, he cupped his hands and said: "I just joined the army, I don't know how to fight, and I have no choice but to do this."

"So that's how it is." Liu Yu laughed and said, "Actually, the government soldiers are not as bad as you imagined. Many veterans have been trained in the military formation, but it's a pity... oh..."

Having said that, Liu Yu shook his head and stopped talking.In fact, he didn't say anything, but Liu Ziqiu understood what he meant.Yang Guang was suspicious by nature. Every time he conscripted soldiers from various places, he found chaos in the establishment and reorganized them.

The soldiers from the same place trained together during the slack season, and some were still neighbors in life. They knew each other well and cooperated tacitly, so that the strength of the team could be brought into full play on the battlefield.But let Yang Guang do this, the soldiers in the same regiment or even the same team are strangers, and no one knows the temperament of other comrades in arms.Such an army is not much stronger than a mob.

If Yang Guang could hold back his temper and gather the troops to train for three to five months, it might be a big difference.However, Yang Guang was so overjoyed and eager for success, how could he have waited so many days.So the combat effectiveness of this army is worrying.

Liu Yu didn't stay in the barracks for a long time, but told Liu Ziqiu not to cause any trouble, and then went home to celebrate the new year.After Liu Yu left, Liu Ziqiu called all the people in his camp over and asked, "Which of you has practiced military formation?"

Hua Yun shook her head, and said, "I just joined the army for my father, I haven't practiced before."

Gui Haiqiu smiled and said, "Brother, you should just ask me about this matter. Gui has been in the army for more than ten years, and has fought dozens of times, big and small. He is very familiar with this army formation."

Liu Ziqiu was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm, and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the city at the invitation of General Han Lang, and I don't know when I will be back. Lao Gui, I have to work hard for you here, starting from the second day of the new year." Organize everyone to practice the military formation."

Gui Haiqiu hesitated and said, "Brother, since you're not here, I'm afraid everyone won't accept me."

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "There is meat in the meal. Look at the group of people nearby, which one is not greedy, and who would not be able to get along with this mouth of mine? Just rest assured, if anyone is disobedient, even the soup will be eaten." Don't even give him a drink."

……

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Ziqiu left the barracks and rode his horse straight to Luoyang.It was almost noon, inside the east gate of Luoyang, three or five soldiers were lazily leaning against the city wall, and seeing Liu Ziqiu passing in front of them, they didn't even lift their eyelids.

Dongmen Street has long since lost the bustle and bustle of the past, except for the occasional "cracking" sound of firecrackers, reminding that the New Year is approaching, and there is no one to be seen.At this time, there were already firecrackers stuffed with gunpowder using paper rolls, but only rich people could afford them, and most of them just found a bamboo node to make a living.The sound of the bamboo joints bursting is not very loud, and there is a faint fragrance when it burns, which is much more comfortable than the deafening and smoky firecrackers of later generations.

Gunpowder was invented by the Chinese, but it was only used to make fireworks and firecrackers. Later, it was learned by foreigners and made guns to beat the Chinese. This is a kind of sadness.Liu Ziqiu couldn't help shaking his head, and secretly made up his mind that if he had the opportunity in the future, he must use the gunpowder for the "righteous way".

Before he knew it, Liu Ziqiu had come to the alley where Li Jing's house was.

Li Jing got the gold and silver from Liu Ziqiu, and he didn't make it public, but just quietly bought all the houses in his neighbors, and went to the market to buy a few house slaves and maidservants.His only big deal was to buy two good horses from the Western Regions at a huge price.

Although these houses are next to each other, Li Jing didn't connect them, and kept them relatively independent.Outsiders naturally have no way of knowing that Li Jing, who used to be impoverished, has become rich overnight.

Before Liu Ziqiu had time to knock on the door, he saw several more riders appearing at the entrance of the alley, and the leader was Han Shi'er.

"Brother Liu is really a trustworthy person!" Han Shi'e also saw Liu Ziqiu, and greeted Liu Ziqiu, but he didn't have much joy, but seemed a little worried.

Han Shi'er is the descendant of the general family, with a prominent background, and the few followers behind him are all generals of the Han family.The man next to Han Shi'e was about fifty years old, his face was watery, his eyes were piercing, and he was obviously a master.

He was supposed to spend New Year's Eve at his own home, but Han Shi'e didn't have a family, his parents died, and he had no brothers or sisters, so it would be the same wherever he lived.And I went to Li Jing's house to spend New Year's Eve today, it was an appointment with Liu Ziqiu.

Before Liu Ziqiu could answer, the courtyard door opened.It turned out that Zhang Chuchen was in the courtyard, but he heard Han Shi'e's voice, and Li Jing also ran out after hearing the sound.The couple were very excited when they saw Liu Ziqiu, and asked questions a lot, until Han Shi'e came close, then they came to their senses, and hurriedly welcomed everyone into the courtyard.

Seeing Zhang Chuchen always subconsciously protecting his abdomen, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but move his heart, and asked, "Brother, is your wife happy?"

Li Jing just giggled, but couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

Zhang Chuchen has a bold temperament, but he is not comparable to an ordinary woman. He said generously: "I have to thank my younger siblings for this matter. I have already made an agreement with her. You will be the in-laws of your children in the future. You must not go back on your word."

At the beginning, when Hong Fu ran at night, the city was full of disturbances. Although the Li family was upset, they didn't say much.However, a year after Zhang Chuchen married into Li's family, his stomach still didn't move. Now Li Jing finally couldn't stand at home and had to come out to live alone.Since ancient times, there have been three unfilial acts, the greatest of which is having no descendants.Now that Zhang Chuchen was pregnant, Li Jing was finally able to feel elated. Returning to Li's house was just around the corner, so how could he be unhappy.

Li Jing laughed and said: "Don't stand in the yard, come in and talk slowly."

Liu Ziqiu didn't know the inside story, let alone why Zhang Chuchen wanted to thank Gao Xiu'er, but it was inconvenient for him to ask more questions when it involved other people's affairs. When he turned around and saw Han Shi'e still in a daze, he couldn't help but cupped his hands and said, "General Han, please." !"

"You and I are my brothers. When we are not in the barracks, don't talk about so many etiquettes." Han Shi'er came to his senses, and suddenly sighed, "Brother Liu, Mr. Han has something to ask you."

The three of them entered the main room, and a servant girl had already served tea and retreated.

Liu Ziqiu cupped his fists and said, "Brother Han, what advice do you have?"

Han Shi'er's face became serious, and he asked, "Brother Liu, Han asked you something, and I hope you can tell the truth. When did you offend the Yang family?"

"Brother Han is talking about the Duke of Yue's Yang family?" Liu Ziqiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, my brothers, the Yang family ran a saltworks in Yuhang, and I did have some displeasure with you, but that is already in the past. I don’t know why Brother Han asked a little bit?”

Han Shi'e said: "The Han and Yang families were family friends, and Han even got along with Youwuwei General Yang Xuangan, and they planned a big event together. Han knew the power of brothers. After meeting his brothers in the barracks that day, Han He wanted to recommend a brother to Yang Xuangan. Unexpectedly, just as Han mentioned his brother's name, Yang Wanxiang, the fifth son of the Yang family, and Yang Jishan, the seventh son of the Yang family, jumped up together, asking Han to find an opportunity to end his brother's life."

Liu Ziqiu did not expect that after so long, the members of the Yang family still refused to let go, and suddenly changed their expressions, and said, "Brother Han, what's the plan? If Brother Han wants to take Liu's life, Liu will never let Brother Han Embarrassment!"

Having said that, Liu Ziqiu was secretly on guard and would never stand still.

Li Jing sneered and said, "Shi Er, how dare you!"

Han Shi'er smiled bitterly and said, "Cousin, Brother Liu, is Han such a person? Han just wants to remind Brother Liu that the Yang family is powerful. Although Han will not agree, it is hard to guarantee that they will not find other ways."

After a pause, Han Shi'e said again: "Enemies are easy to solve but not easy to tie. Han has already persuaded them, and General Yang Xuangan is willing to put aside the past. The only difference is a word from my brother."

Liu Ziqiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, and said, "Brother Han, can you tell Liu that you and Yang Xuangan are colluding to abolish Yang Guang?"

A cold light flashed in Han Shi'er's eyes, he nodded, and said, "That's right! After the death of the Principality of Yue, the Yang family has lost its former glory. Brother Yang Xuangan wants to support King Qin Yang Hao to become a great treasure. Brother Liu should know about Han's picture. .”

This is a top secret, and it might implicate the nine clans. Since Han Shi'e raised this topic today, he has considered the consequences.Li Jing was his cousin, so there was absolutely no reason to betray him.Liu Ziqiu broke into the Forbidden Palace repeatedly, and died as many times as he wanted, and he would not turn to Yang Guang.Moreover, Han Shi'er has another plan to help the Yang family recruit Liu Ziqiu!But just in case, he still brought the most powerful generals here.

Li Jing was taken aback, and said, "Shi Er, why haven't I heard you mention such a big event?"

As early as Yanguan, Wei Zheng deduced that the Yang family had an attempt to rebel, and Liu Ziqiu knew that Han Shi'e had indeed rebelled with Yang Xuangan in history, so he was not surprised at all, but said lightly: "If Liu's guess is right , the Yang family wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to attack. I wonder if Brother Han knows where the imperial court is using troops this time?"

Han Shi'e was taken aback, and stared at Liu Ziqiu for a long time, but couldn't see what was going on in his heart, so he murmured: "As far as Han knows, the imperial court is going to use troops against Tuyuhun this time."

Although he is only a general of the tiger, he still has no access to the most core secrets, but Yang Xuangan knows it clearly, and he didn't hide it from him, so he was able to know.

Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Although he didn't know where Tuyuhun was, Yang Guang finally won this battle in history, and it became one of Yang Guang's most important "martial arts" battles.

But the victory of the war does not mean that all soldiers can survive, but the chance of survival is greater.At this time, Liu Ziqiu was still thinking about the precious lives of himself and thousands of soldiers, he couldn't help but asked, "Brother Han is a general, what preparations do you have for the soldiers and horses of our army?"

Han Shi'er shook his head and said, "This battle, Han will not go."
