Surrounded by more than a dozen public officials, Li Zhong walked out of the temporary office of the Bo Division in Jiehe City.

The officials and officials in the Yamen of the Bosi of Jiehe City are not equipped now, but there are still dozens of people such as the prison officer, the person in charge of writing, the Confucian official, the hand division official, the post department, the capital official, the special library, the special name, the guest department, and the front and back lines. Now most of them don't know where to go, and there are only a dozen people in the government office.

These people were both Li Zhong's subordinates and Wu Haogu's subordinates. Now he naturally wants to come out to greet Shangguan, but Wu Haogu and they don't know each other - Wu Haogu has risen too fast, and there is no one at hand, so the seats of the officials of the City Ship Division that should be recommended by him are all vacant, and the people who were originally going to be placed in the City Ship Division are now going to serve in Jiehe Shang City.

Hey?

Li Zhong walked out of the gate and saw Wu Haogu neatly tumbling off the horse, and his heart suddenly perked.

I haven't seen it for more than a year, Wu Haogu's equestrian skills have improved so much, and his body and physique seem to be much stronger. It seems that these days, he has really learned the lesson of being in distress in Xijin Mansion and has worked hard.

It seems that this guy is extremely persevering - Wu Haogu's wealth and status today, all kinds of enjoyment, all kinds of temptations are really too much, and he can still squeeze out kung fu to practice martial arts, and persevere, no perseverance can he do?

Then Li Zhong saw Gao Yu who came over with Wu Haogu, he and Gao Yu were not familiar with him, he could only say that he knew each other, but he still knew that Gao Yu was now the No. 2 celebrity around the official family.

Why did the No. 1 and No. 2 celebrities come to Cangzhou, a place where birds don't? Is there an auspicious rui here in Cangzhou, or what's wrong?

Wu Haogu and Gao Yu stepped forward with a laugh, and Li Zhong, who rushed out to greet him, was an archer.

"Daguan Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

"Li Daguan, the next official is high."

Li Zhong also hurriedly returned the salute with his fists, politely welcomed Wu Haogu and Gao Yu and his party into the inner hall of the backyard of the government office, and also ordered the guest department in the government office to prepare wine and tea.

Although Wu Haogu came to the government office of Qingchi County for the first time, he still had his own cross-courtyard within this office. After instructing Olga to take the servants to settle down, Wu Haogu and Gao Yu sat down in the inner hall of the backyard.

When the fragrant tea was served, Wu Haogu had already told Li Zhong about his and Gao Yu's intentions - the two of them came to find Shi Guozhong, who knew about Cangzhou, for the purchase of land in Cangzhou.

"Shi Zhizhou only arrived in Qingchi yesterday," Li Zhong said, "and the gentry of Qingchi gave him a banquet and drank until dawn today...... I didn't come back until dawn. ”

is another big Song who is an official with his life, so blue!

"Then let Shi Zhizhou have a good night's rest," Wu Haogu knew that if he went to visit Shi Guozhong tonight, he might have to be dragged to drink all night, "Brother Gao and I will visit again tomorrow."

By the way, Brother Gao and I have worked hard all the way, so we will have a light meal tonight, and we will not arrange official tricks, just find the Oiran of Qingchi County Qinglou...... Put my name on it! ”

Of course, Wu Haogu didn't need to serve the Oiran here in Cangzhou, he took Olga out. However, Gao Yu didn't bring a woman, so Wu Haogu arranged it for him.

Li Zhong smiled and nodded, summoned a public official, and ordered: "Let Yu Niangzi stay, and the others will call them back." ”

After the official left, Li Zhongcai said to Wu Haogu: "Cangzhou is not very bright here, even the Yu Jinhua of Fuyue Tower can still take a look." ”

Uh, don't talk about Yu Jinhua, even if Master Li, Mo Niangzi and Yan Xixi stripped naked and stood in front of Li Zhong together, he could only watch!

If you think so in your heart, of course, you can't say it on your lips.

"Have you seen Mr. Murong these days?" Wu Haogu took a sip of tea and asked about Murong forgetting his worries.

Wu Haogu had long ago informed Murong of the future of the soldiers of the Imperial Court's preparations to close the Military Academy, and wrote to Murong to inform Murong of the future of the students of the Military Academy.

As for Murong Wang's own future, Wu Haogu also gave a prediction, which is estimated to be a palace view...... Wu Haogu hoped that he could go to Jiehe Business City to preside over the Jiehe Branch of the Yuntai Academy.

"See each other often." Li Zhong sighed as he spoke, "He and Brother Zhao Zhong have been tinkering with a step-breaking cavalry formation these days, and they want to dedicate it to the official family, but they are just ......"

Formation?

Wu Haogu and Gao Yu were stunned, what is going on?

"Still don't give up!" Li Zhong smiled bitterly, "That old man always feels that he can't give full play to his abilities, and he still wants to do something more." ”

"Have you seen that array?" Wu Haogu asked.

"I've got one here." Li Zhong immediately instructed the servant to go to his study, fetch a scroll, and handed it to Wu Haogu.

Wu Haogu drove the scroll and unfolded it in the hall, and found that a hollow phalanx of pikemen was scribbled on the map.

"Hollow phalanx?" Wu Haogu was stunned for a moment.

Li Zhong gently turned the tea bowl, "It is to use spearmen and shield spearmen to form a phalanx, protect the crossbowmen in the middle, and use this method to deal with the impact of cavalry." ”

"That's how Walker rides?" Gao Yu asked.

"One of them." Li Zhong said, "There are more than a dozen of various formations...... They were all military formations of several hundred people. ”

"Hundreds?" Gao Yu frowned, "Such a little person can't show his ability." ”

"Not really!" Li Zhong nodded and said, "Although it is really on the battlefield, it is often a small formation of hundreds or thousands of people, and then several small formations rely on the terrain to form a large formation. But...... The array maps collected by the imperial court are all large arrays, and there are more than a dozen of them painted without this kind of military array of hundreds of people. ”

Wu Haogu is also a military attache now, and he is also a confidant, of course, he has seen a lot of hidden formations in the palace - they are all dignified arrays, and the most powerful ones can only be spread out by hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Once it is spread, let alone the Khitans, even if Genghis Khan's Mongols are allowed to attack, most of them will not be able to gnaw.

However, the Mongols could trap this large array, cut off the back road, and starve for a few more days......

In short, even Wu Haogu, a master who knows nothing about military affairs, also knows that this kind of formation is nonsense.

Moreover, it is very difficult for hundreds of thousands of troops to form a large formation, and it is very difficult to cooperate with the dispatch. In contrast, a small formation with hundreds or thousands of people can be used freely through repeated drills.

Therefore, the spear array created by Murong Wuwu is likely to have extremely high actual combat value. It's just that the officials and officials of the Great Song Dynasty may not know the goods......

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu said to Li Zhong: "It's better to wait for me and Brother Gao to meet Shi Zhizhou, and then go to the Military Academy with Li Daguan." Meet the future knights, too! ”

……

"Uncle Yue, are you looking for me?"

Wu Haowen walked into Han Zhongyan's study quickly, the prime minister's son-in-law is almost the son of the prime minister, he goes out with his father-in-law every day, and goes home together, he won't go back to the Wu family mansion until it gets dark!

Han Zhongyan yawned, waved at Wu Haowen, and asked him to sit down and talk.

"Today, An Tao Shangjuan suggested that the government military system should be tried out in Lantian County, Jingzhao Prefecture. What do you think? ”

"Try the government military system? All right! Wu Haowen raised his eyebrows, "Uncle Yue, this is a good thing!" ”

Wu Haogu was an urban Confucian student, so of course he would not have thought of how much the government military system would toss the peasants, let alone what the government military system would look like without the cooperation of the uniform land system...... However, even Confucian scholars from the countryside avoided Juntian when they supported the government military system.

"Really?" Han Zhongyan looked at his son-in-law, "Has Hou Shisheng talked to you about this?" ”

"Soldiers?"

"yes, where does he think it's best to try it?"

"Of course it's closed." Wu Haowen said, "The soldiers of the government started in Guanzhong!" Since ancient times, the Qin soldiers have endured hard battles, and the strength of the Han and Tang dynasties also depends on the athletes in Guanzhong. ”

"That'...... Would you like to go to Lantian to try the military system? ”

"I'm going?" Wu Haowen was stunned for a moment, "Grandfather-in-law, do you want your son-in-law to go to Lantian County to be a county lieutenant?" ”

"Where can I call you a county lieutenant?" Han Zhongyan smiled, "Since I have the right to send to know the affairs of Lantian County and take charge of the affairs of the military government." ”

"But the son-in-law is just a nine-grade official......"

Han Zhongyan waved his hand, "As long as the official family makes a special order, it won't be a big deal to promote you to be an eight-grade person."

Now the question is, are you willing to go to Lantian or not, are you sure that you will get the government soldiers in Lantian? ”

Wu Haowen knew that this was an opportunity! Can the old man still pit himself?

But he also knew that this opportunity was not easy to grasp, otherwise the old man would not talk nonsense with him.

"If you agree," Han Zhongyan said, "then wait until your secretary has completed a year of provincial orthography, and now the magistrate of Lantian County should also be sick...... Will you let you go then? ”

"Sick?" Wu Haowen was a little puzzled, "That magistrate is sick?" ”

"I'm not sick yet," Han Zhongyan smiled bitterly, "but when the edict of the trial government soldiers arrives in Lantian County, he should be sick." ”

Can this edict still make people sick? Wu Haowen is still ignorant.

Han Zhongyan looked at his son-in-law and said in his heart: This kid is good at reading, but it's a pity that his brain is not as flexible as his brother.

"It's not a good job!" Han Zhongyan said, "The government soldiers prospered in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. ”

"Isn't that similar to armor?"

Han Zhongyan touched his beard, "Almost...... But it's not quite the same! ”

In fact, the Baoding controlled by the Ximen family were already close to the township soldiers controlled by the northern scholars during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is also a bit similar to the early Guanzhong soldiers, but the weapons and equipment are a little worse.

Because the Northern and Southern Dynasties were in troubled times, the local tyrants of the scholars needed to raise soldiers to protect themselves, so the predecessor of the government soldiers was formed, and the government soldier system from a certain point of view is to standardize these village soldiers.

It can be said that in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there were government soldiers first, and then there was a government soldier system!

And now, it seems that there are no soldiers, and the government military system can be restored first.

However, there is also something in common between the two, that is, the original role of the government military system was actually to dig out the soldiers from the hands of the powerful, and now the situation is similar, and they have to be difficult with the rich and big.
