Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 26 Arriving at the Barracks for the First Time (Part [-])
Li Ce followed Song Jingang and others to the Zhending frontier camp.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhending Mansion was the capital of Hebei West Road and the political center of the entire Hebei West Road. The nine counties of Zhending Mansion were: Zhending, Gaocheng, Luancheng, Yuanshi, Jingxing, Huolu, Pingshan, Xing Tang and Lingshou.

Because Zhending Mansion is at the northernmost point and belongs to the junction of Song and Liao, the frontier troops of the entire Hebei West Road are mainly stationed in Zhending Mansion, and facing Zhending Mansion is the accompanying capital of the Liao Kingdom—Xijing Datong Mansion.

At this time, there were about 60 forbidden troops in the Northern Song Dynasty, of which 30 guarded the capital, and the rest were stationed in various places. There were about [-] forbidden troops in Zhending Mansion, and the rest were local recruits. They were called Xiangjun in the Northern Song Dynasty.The number of imperial troops and Xiang troops in the entire Hebei West Road is about [-], and they are also scattered around the Hebei West Road.

The Song Army Barracks in Zhending Mansion is located in the northeast of Zhending Mansion, next to the North City Gate.It was the first time for Li Ce to see an ancient military camp, and he felt that it was very majestic. The surrounding wall could not be seen at a glance. Behind the wall, there were four watchtowers that were connected together and made of solid logs. It was as high as a city wall, and there were seven or eight patrolling soldiers standing on the wooden tower.

In front of the gate of the barracks is a row of intersecting wooden fences, guarded by a row of Song soldiers.Seeing Song Jingang, Song Bing guarding the gate hurriedly cupped his hands respectfully and said, "The envoy Song is back."

Song Jingang said: "Chen Shuai is still in the barracks?"

The soldier guarding the gate hurriedly replied: "I have never seen the commander-in-chief go out."

Song Jingang turned to Li Ce and said, "Your Excellency is still waiting, let's go now." After speaking, he led Li Ce through the door. "

Li Ce looked around all the way, and everything he saw felt very fresh. Before, he could only see the scene on TV, but he didn't expect to be in it now, and he really felt it.

He thought to himself, just now he heard Song Jingang called Du Shi by the officers and soldiers who guarded the gate, but he didn't know what kind of officer this Du Shi was in the army of Northern Song Dynasty, and Song Jingang himself called himself a school lieutenant.

In fact, the lieutenants are also divided into ranks. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the highest lieutenant was called "Shaowu lieutenant", which was the fifth rank, and the lowest rank was the lieutenant, which was the ninth rank. It also corresponds to Zhengjipin and Congjipin, but this is just a false job, that is to say, it is only equivalent to an honor.

Song Jingang's official position is Xuanjie Xiaowei, and his actual position is the commander of the capital, which is the sixth rank.

Li Ce watched all the way, sighing secretly, Song Jingang said: "Mr. Li, we are here."

Li Ce turned around and realized that he had already arrived at the commander's mansion. Song Jingang said to Song Bing who was on duty outside the door: "Go and inform Mr. Chen that Li Ce has arrived."

The Song soldiers on duty responded, and entered the door to report. After a while, the man returned and said: "Song Dushi, Mr. Li, the general is already waiting in the front hall, you two go now."

Song Jingang led Li Ce to the front hall quickly, and Li Ce found a man nearly half a century old sitting on the seat opposite the door. Long beard, who was reading a book by himself, was indeed the fisherman of that day!

Seeing Song Jingang and Li Ce outside the door, Chen Yaozuo hurriedly got up and walked out, while saying hello: "Oh, Mr. Li is here, hurry up, please."

Li Ce couldn't help but feel ashamed. It's fine for others like Song Jingang to call himself Mr. It's a bit too much for court officials like Chen Yaozuo to call himself Mr. Li Ce also worked in a state-owned enterprise in his previous life. He is a man who knows Those who advanced and retreated hurriedly said after hearing the words: "Don't dare, dare not, sir, you can call me Li Ce, sir, I absolutely dare not be called Mr."

Chen Yaozuo waved his hand and said: "It's right, it's right. You turned the tide and saved the people in the city from disaster. This is a great virtue. And I see that you have studied the way of using troops. In the battle of defending the city that day, I was deeply impressed by your method of shooting in batches. After I came back, I thought about it carefully and deduced it. It will definitely set back the spirit of the Liao people!
Chen Yaozuo said that his face was full of pride here, and he continued: "Every time the Liao people come to attack, it is always because of the lack of soldiers or arrows, which often leads to the defeat of the battle. Once a good method helps, it can also greatly reduce the casualties of our soldiers. This is a great achievement!"

Chen Yaozuo was talking excitedly, and Li Ce was thinking in his heart, this Chen Yaozuo is really a general, a small formation method, after he discovered its function, he quickly thought of how to maximize its value, History spoke highly of this man, upright and upright, fearless of the powerful, courageous and resourceful, and sensitive in dealing with matters, it seemed that this man really lived up to his reputation.

At the same time, I thought that the times are developing and the society is progressing. A very common array method used in movie plots in the [-]th century can play such a big role in ancient times. It seems that the saying goes that today is not what it used to be. Makes sense.

Seeing that Li Ce bowed his head and said nothing, Chen Yaozuo pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "Why, is it possible that Mister is unwilling to offer this technique?"

As soon as Li Ce heard that Chen Yaozuo had misunderstood him, he hurriedly said, "How could it be? It's not my invention. Besides, it's something that benefits the country and the people, why not do it?"

When Kou Guangzuo heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Xi Yuan admires him very much." Xi Yuan is Chen Yaozuo's nickname, and he used this name to address Li Ce, which means that he put aside his status as a general but as a scholar Communicate with Li Ce equally.

Li Ce didn't think much about it, and he couldn't think about the twists and turns of the ancient literati.It was really awkward to hear Mr. Chen Yaozuo call himself Mr. Mr., so he said, "My lord, this... this..." Li Ce opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Seeing Li Ce's hesitation, Chen Yaozuo said: " Feel free to say anything, as long as I can help, I will definitely help!"

What Li Ce wanted was his words, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, my request is very simple, that is, Sir, don't call me Mr. again, I really feel... um... awkward."

Chen Yaozuo was taken aback when he heard the words, and then burst out laughing. It took a while to stop and said, "Okay, okay, I promise you, Li Ce, you are really interesting. Well, what do you call your name?"

"Er...there is no sign yet." Li Ce said with shame, how could he know the sign.

"Hey, you little scholar doesn't have a written form yet? It's really strange." Chen Yaozuo was a little surprised when he heard that Li Ce didn't have a written form yet.

"Oh, how old are you this year?" Chen Yaozuo asked.

"19 years old," Li Ce replied doubtfully, and Chen Yaozuo asked him what his age was.

"Oh, it's no wonder that a man's [-]th crown has a character, and a woman's [-]th crown has a character. You haven't reached the double tenth, so naturally you don't have a character." Chen Yaozuo smiled and said, "Then I'll just call you by your name?"

Well, there are so many details, Li Ce secretly said.

When this ancient man became an adult, he no longer called him by his first name, but by his surname, so as not to appear disrespectful. Generally, his name was only used by his elders and himself.Just now when Chen Yaozuo saw that Li Ce refused to call him Mr. Chen Yaozuo wanted to ask for his nickname. He never thought that Li Ce didn't have a nickname. In fact, with Chen Yaozuo's status, it was okay to call Li Ce by his name.
