Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 74
Seeing the determined look on the boy's face, Long Feiyu sighed and said, "But you are too young and your body is too thin. If you go to war, you will easily fall behind."

The young man hurriedly said: "General, I am now. It is only because I lack food and clothing that I grow thinner. If you let me eat enough, General, none of the people behind you are my opponents."

As soon as the young man said this, the guards behind Long Feiyu looked at him with smiles on their faces. Although there was no mocking expression, they didn't really believe it.

Seeing their expressions, the young man was afraid that Long Feiyu would not let him join the army: "Really general, I have been in the army since I was a child, and they always bullied me, so I secretly practiced martial arts. Seniors must never get close."

Li Xu, who had been following Long Feiyu behind him, used to be taciturn, but now he said: "General, I think this kid is not weak, it's just that he doesn't have food, so he looks vulnerable."

Long Feiyu glanced at Li Xu with a little interest, and said with a smile: "Li Xu, I thought that there was nothing you cared about in this world, but I didn't expect you to talk today. Well, I will open this golden mouth to you I can't refute your face either. I will leave this young man to you, he will not join the army, you will teach him yourself."

"Yes, General."

Li Xu agreed happily, and Long Feiyu also smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I will see results in three months, and if he hasn't grown up, then I will punish you as a violation of military orders."

"Three months? Is the general a bit short?"

Long Feiyu waved his hand and said, "Is it short? Three months is a bit long for a warrior who has experienced bloody battles to train a Lianjiazi who is not weak."

Long Feiyu said, pointing to the young man, "Give him a horse, and go fast to catch up with the team in front."

"Yes"

A group of guards brought the horses, and everyone quickly got on the horses and chased the troops in the direction where the troops left.Along the way, there were more than 500 people scattered behind the team alone, and these people were either infirm or old.There are even children among them.

Looking at these soldiers, the guards who had been following Long Feiyu said a little angrily: "General, didn't you say that all the soldiers to be selected are elite soldiers? Why are there still old and weak in our team?"

Long Feiyu said with a chuckle: "People's hearts are separated by belly, this is just a means for them to protect themselves. Going to Wuyuan is a fatal situation for everyone. Many ministers in the court got word in advance, and they were originally sent to the army The descendants of the family who are going to be gilded have long been blown away. The so-called arrow shoots the first bird, and they are naturally selected to be sent to our army. They are all here to top the bag. The boy who collapsed just now is an example of this."

The guard snorted, and said in conviction: "It turns out that the reason why the general asked them to go to Puguan on foot is to wash away the old and the weak."

Long Feiyu waved his hand and said: "Yes, not all of them, this is just one of the purposes. These people don't have the slightest combat power, and they can do logistics. If they are put on the battlefield, they are undoubtedly just embellishments on the enemy's military medals. I can't just sit and watch Let them go to die, and this hike is also aimed at exercising their tacit understanding, unity, and a scattered army is powerless. The army I want is what my soldiers are pointing at, as big as possible Don, not a bunch of skirmishers."

The soldiers beside him naturally heard Long Feiyu's words, and their faith in Long Feiyu had already begun from Hexi.Being able to stay by Long Feiyu's side and listen to his teachings all the time is an infinite wealth for these people, which is crucial to their future development.

Although there were more than 500 people left behind, Long Feiyu still gathered them together and slowly moved forward at the end of the team.He himself rushed to Puguan first.In all fairness, except for those black sheep, the rest of the people arrived at Puguan on time, and Long Feiyu could see that these people were elite soldiers, and they had no problem crossing the river at this time.

But at this time, what he was thinking about was not crossing the river, but how to reconcile the army.A group of people lined up on the bank of the Yellow River waiting for Long Feiyu's personal inspection. Long Feiyu rode through the crowd and looked at the army that was still alive and well. He nodded with satisfaction, but his expression was serious. shouted: "You are fine, you all arrived at Puguan on time, which fully demonstrates your ability."

A group of people were overjoyed to get Long Feiyu's affirmation, but Long Feiyu's next words made them fall to the bottom again.

"Before I set off, I told you that every single team, as long as non-combat attrition occurs, they must be punished. Simply hundreds of miles away, non-combat attrition of 500 people, what is the concept? In a team, there are Nine people were left behind because of your negligence. If they were on the battlefield, what was waiting for them? It was the enemy's butcher's knife, and the lives of our own brothers became embellishments on other people's military exploits."

Long Feiyu's words were deep and penetrating, even the raging water of the Yellow River couldn't cover it up.Listening to his lecture, some people disapproved, some were ashamed.

Long Feiyu naturally took in all the eyes of the crowd. He pointed to the centurion on the far side and said, "What's your name?"

"Li Shouyi."

"Okay, you deserve the word Shouyi, and I will give you a great credit."

Hearing the credits, Li Shouyi looked at Long Feiyu in surprise, and asked in wonder, "How can I get any credit for starting the general's battle?"

Long Feiyu smiled and said: "In a team of 6000 people, there are 60 captains and [-] people. Only your team is not bad. I have seen that there are more than a dozen old and weak people in your team. You can allocate labor reasonably, and do a good job. To never give up. A qualified general does not win the three armies by himself, but treats every soldier as his own relatives. Only in this way will we try our best to save their lives as much as possible under the premise of winning the battle and kill a thousand enemies. A man with [-] descendants is not a qualified general. A person who surrenders his relatives to the enemy is not a competent soldier. If you don’t abandon your own subordinates today, you can save their lives in the future. I, Datang, created miracles. I will remember this merit for you."

Li Shouyi quickly shook his head and said, "General, you are right. These people are my relatives. It is only natural for a man to protect his relatives. If protecting them requires merit, then what is the use of this family affection. I would like to use my family Weapons take my glory from my enemies, not from protecting my loved ones."

Long Feiyu nodded and said: "Okay, you have backbone, I look forward to your performance on the battlefield."

After Long Feiyu finished speaking, he waved his hand. Someone behind him entered the crowd and picked out all the old and weak. After this, another 200 people were picked out, plus another 500 people who rushed over, more than 700 people The old and the weak were placed alone at the front of the team by Long Feiyu.

Looking at the group of people, Long Feiyu said calmly: "I don't care what you are sent to my team, if you go to the battlefield in your physical condition, it will push you to death. I don't want to see I want you to die in vain, today I specially selected you, I will write to His Majesty to return your freedom, give you land, and live in peace."

Originally, the people who were sent here had declared their belief that they would die, but they were sent back home at this time. They were stunned for a while, and it took a long time for a burst of cheers to erupt.

As for why they were sent to Long Feiyu's army, Long Feiyu didn't want to get into the details.Coming from later generations, he has long been used to this kind of thing, and he is no stranger to it. Humans have emotions and desires, and as long as they have emotions, they have selfishness. As long as it is not too much, Long Feiyu does not intend to bother, let alone the foreign troubles are not eliminated at this time , is not the time to consider this matter.

Seeing Long Feiyu sent away these old and weak people, some people in the team regretted it, but it was obviously impossible to leave at this time, or they would be treated as deserters and killed.Even if there is something small in their hearts, they dare not make it bold.

After a little renovation, Long Feiyu led a group of people across the Yellow River. Along the way, Long Feiyu used endless means to train soldiers, including suppressing bandits, crossing rivers, and building bridges.For road construction, as long as Long Feiyu's troops passed by, not a single bandit within a hundred miles would dare to take the lead, and all of them hid in the deep mountains knowingly.

Wherever they passed, they were welcomed by the local people, and the people who had avoided seeing the march unexpectedly walked out of the house kindly at this time.Serving tea and water to the soldiers passing by was so exciting. Long Feiyu walked for more than a month in a few days' journey, but these soldiers got a general understanding of Long Feiyu after getting along day and night for more than a month.

Those brave soldiers even felt like making some harmless jokes with him, which was definitely not the case in the previous army.The arrival of Long Feiyu brought the comfort of a spring breeze to the panic-stricken border residents under the heavy pressure of the Turks.

As soon as Long Feiyu arrived at Yanmen, Li Ji called him into the military tent. Looking at Long Feiyu, who looked like a son-in-law, Li Ji said angrily, "Military orders are like mountains, do you know how long you have been waiting?" time?"

In all fairness, Long Feiyu looked at this famous general who was said to be among the top five in the entire Tang Dynasty, with admiration.To Li Ji's accusation, Long Feiyu just replied respectfully: "General, these soldiers of mine are temporarily transferred from various armies. If I want to take office in Wuyuan, I must run in these soldiers, otherwise once the war breaks out , How do they fight in a state of disunity. Although my march is slow, I have walked all the way, and the tacit understanding between them has been coordinated properly. If they encounter any battle situation, they will not be stretched."

There are no extra words, a simple sentence, for Li Ji, a famous general through the ages, he naturally knows the seriousness of the matter.Li Ji nodded silently, and said: "In this case, you can go and check the four thousand troops you were born in after a little renovation. According to His Majesty's instructions, we didn't go to the training for these people, just let them follow The brigade just fucks. In a sense they're still a blank sheet of paper you asked for."

Long Feiyu nodded, cupped his hands and said goodbye to Li Ji: "In this case, I will retire."

Li Ji waved his hand, seeing Li Ji waving his hand, Long Feiyu hurriedly exited Li Ji's military tent and walked towards his own military camp.
