Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 439 Martial Arts (7)

Can you not think too much, Xu Qing knows that the emperor likes to play riddles most, Xu Qing before did not understand, Li Yuan's last sentence is another riddle.Xu Qing understands that the first half of the sentence is to train soldiers well. There is no reason to lead soldiers without training. Everyone knows how to drill soldiers and horses so that they can save their lives when fighting.However, what happened to the formation?One of the items in military training is formation formation. As for formation formation, that is only mentioned on the battlefield. Xu Qing still has to figure out what Li Yuan means when he asks us to set up formation formation.Thinking about it, I can no longer stay in the Imperial Study Room,
The next day, Xu Qing led Wei Xian and Zhao Gong to the Shence Military Mansion.Because of the imperial decree in his arms this time, Xu Qing was not afraid of him, and yelled before entering the door: "Come here, come here, order, order, order!"

Wei Xian hurriedly reminded: "Hey, Lord Hou, this Shence Army is one of the four armies. King Qin is the general of Shence. Now Dou Wenchang and Huo Xianming are the left and right generals in the army. Changsun Wuji knows that The Minister of Internal Affairs takes the post of the Central Guard Army, and Yuchi Jingde is also a lieutenant in the Guard Army."

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "So what about King Qin, I have an imperial decree..."

Indeed, Changsun Wuji has already bowed his head to Xu Qing once, and the King of Qin has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, and his wings are not hard.On the contrary, Xu Qing controls the Xuanwu Gate, and has a high reputation in the government and the public. Those who are willing to be bosses like King Qin and Changsun Wuji are the employees like Xu Qing who are the last to want to offend.

Wei Xian pulled Xu Qing aside again: "Master Xu, don't look at King Qin and Changsun Wuji, you can look at them at the same level. But Dou Wenchang and Huo Xianming, you can't easily offend them."

Xu Qing looked at Wei Xian in disbelief and said, "Why, the two of them are just nobody, so they can't be offended?"

Wei Xian sighed and said, "At this time, I only know a little bit, but Mr. Xu, do you know the surnames Dou and Huo in the Han Dynasty?"

When Xu Qing heard this, he gasped.The Dou surname in the Han Dynasty was the most common surname besides the Liu surname.Empress Dowager Dou is the mother of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, and there are more descendants who are among the three princes than anyone else. Yuan Shao's fourth generation and three princes are also like gnats shaking the tree.Secondly, Huo's surname is also very important. The leading figure is Huo Qubing. Later, Huo Guang was able to manipulate the emperor's abolition.During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it rose again and again.Where is Dou's prefect named Huo?Isn't it in two places in Chang'an and Luoyang?

To Xu Qing's surprise, from Wei Xian's tone, these two families seem to have been handed down from the Han Dynasty, that is, the early days of the aristocratic family's prosperity. Up to now, six to seven hundred years have passed, and more than a dozen dynasties have perished Rise and fall, they are still there, and they don't seem to be like other families. After a few generations, they all become common people. There are too many people, but their strength is greatly reduced.Dou Huo's family seems unusual.Xu Qing remembered what Li Yuan said, could it be the forces that he couldn't even detect, could it be these two families?
Still water runs deep.

Xu Qing settled down, threw the imperial decree into Zhao Gong's hand and said, "Go, you go and announce the decree to me, shout loudly and energetically!"

Isn't Zhao Gong a eunuch? The eunuch on TV is the perfect candidate to announce the decree.I saw Zhao Gong holding the imperial decree, brushing it away, stepping into the Shence Army Mansion and yelling: "The imperial decree has arrived! The left and right generals of the Shence Army come to receive the decree!"

Xu Qing couldn't help but nodded when he heard the voice. As expected of a eunuch, although it was a bit fake, he had that experience too, didn't he?

Immediately afterwards, two long-bearded generals came out, glanced at Xu Qing, knelt down and said, "Chen Dou Wenchang, Huo Xianming welcomes the imperial edict!"

Zhao Gong recited the content of the imperial decree, the general idea was to let the two of them cooperate with Xu Qing in selecting soldiers, and make the soldiers in the army actively sign up for the martial arts.Dou and Huo received the order and said to Xu Qing: "Xuan Pinghou, please come with us. Our Shence Army has a total of 8 soldiers, all of whom are elite soldiers and good generals. The barracks are not far away, you can choose whatever you want. Well, we are busy with military affairs, and the army register is in charge of the military guard. Marquis Xuan Ping..."

Listening to the tone of the two of them, although they are respectful, there is a taste of respect and distance in the respect, and it feels like they are deliberately keeping a distance from Xu Qing.Xu Qing didn't post it on purpose, and he didn't show a cold face. He smiled and said: "It's okay, these two trivial matters should not be bothered by the two soldiers. I can just go to the guards."

They looked at each other intentionally or unintentionally, and then said to Xu Qing: "Xuan Pinghou, the Central Guard is Changsun Wuji, Master Changsun."

Xu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, thank you."

After Dou and Huo left, Xu Qing let out a long sigh of relief. Xu Qing said in his heart, these two people are really full of aura.I have an imperial decree in my hand, but I am still under such a lot of pressure.Changsun Wuji is the guardian of the army, and finally he has the opportunity to meet him alone. There is no King Qin, no Li Yuan.

After a while, he was taken to Changsun Wuji's Yatang, but he saw that the layout of the Yatang was simple, but all kinds of utensils were exquisitely made, showing extraordinary everywhere.Changsun Wuji took a look at Xu Qing, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hahaha, I don't know what the Lord Xuanping is doing when he comes to this official's office? Come, come, sit and serve tea!"

Xu Qing didn't sit down immediately, but said to Changsun Wuji: "I was ordered by the Holy Lord to select soldiers to serve as Xuanwu defenders, and I also ask Sima for advice."

Changsun Wuji laughed and said, "Haha, I will definitely cooperate with you for any advice. Please sit down, Marquis Xuanping. There are no chairs in the thatched cottage, only cushions. Please forgive me, Marquis Xuanping."

Xu Qing just sat down, was sitting, Wei Xian and Zhao Gong stood behind Xu Qing, no one asked them to sit down, and no one brought them tea.Changsun Wuji said again: "Marquis Xuan Ping, although there are no chairs to sit here, there is still a cup of tea to drink, please use it."

Xu Qing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "A few days ago, your son came to my house, and I have to thank Sima for the two thousand acres of land first."

"What's the point? Haha..." Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "Those lands were not given to Xuan Ping Hou, they were bought by Xuan Ping Hou. Speaking of which, we haven't worked hard on those lands for a long time , barren fields, and I have to bother Xuan Pinghou to take care of them.”

Xu Qing was slightly surprised, and admired this old official fox in his heart.What Xu Qing said just now seemed to be to thank him for selling it to him cheaply, but in fact, Xu Qing wanted to expose the old scar of Changsun Wuji.Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji acted as if nothing had happened, talking and laughing happily, without any hint of anger.

"Ahem, Master Changsun, there are many things to come here this time..." Xu Qing looked at Wei Xian, and then said to Changsun Wuji: "If there is nothing else, let's start selecting soldiers as soon as possible."

Changsun Wuji nodded, and Wei Xian immediately came out, took out a white book and said, "I would like to report to my lord Changsun, the master of Xuanwu soldiers. This time, we need to select 4000 elite soldiers. We need an elite soldier who is good at bow and horse." Lord."

After Wei Xian finished speaking, Xu Qing raised his head again and looked at Changsun Wuji's face.
