"I see, let's suspend our activities for a while, Blackbeard, tell the brothers, during this time, don't act rashly, alas, the master of the association doesn't know when it will arrive, iron shopkeeper, you leave early tomorrow, alas, that military marquis, it doesn't look like a good stubble, ?a? ?n?en???? ．??”

"Master?" the iron shopkeeper seemed a little surprised.

"Blackbeard tried him today, and alas, the guy was so unfathomable that he couldn't see the depths. Song Lizheng sighed.

"I can't fight this beating, I am like a mountain mouse all day long, hiding in Tibet," Blackbeard stood up angrily, pushed the door and went out, and the young man in the courtyard saw him come out, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted, saying: "Hei Ye." ”

Blackbeard strode away without saying a word.

"He still has this temper, these days, you have to keep an eye on it more. The iron shopkeeper sighed, Song Lizheng also sighed, and the iron shopkeeper said faintly: "Old Song, you said that the master let the big guy hide here, why did he end up?"

Song Lizheng shook his head and sighed: "You don't know, the leader of the association attaches great importance to secrecy, and he always said that the brothers in the association are not good at secrecy, and before the matter began, the city was full of wind and rain, which led to the preparation of the imperial court, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties." ”

The iron shopkeeper sighed heavily, and the two of them sat dullly for a while, and Song Lizheng said, "You have to go back quickly, you still have a lot of things to do." ”

The iron shopkeeper got up to say goodbye, and the young man who was on guard in the courtyard also followed him, Song Li was coming out to close the courtyard door, and returned to the house, Song Li was sitting under the lamp, looking at the two bowls of tea in front of him, sighing, and getting up to take the two bowls of tea out and pour them out.

The black shadow on the roof remained motionless, silently watching the yellow moon, and after a while, like a big bird, slid across the night sky and disappeared into the night.

The black shadow returned to the outside of the barracks, the gate of the barracks had been closed, but the black shadow quietly jumped into the barracks, just landed, with a chirp, the black shadow flashed to the side, and a feather arrow fell at his feet.

"It's me!"

Several figures rushing from all corners immediately stopped, the patrol ran with torches, and the soldiers poured out of the room, quickly forming a warning formation.

"My lord!" the officer who led the team bowed and looked at the black shadow suspiciously: "Who are you?"

"It's okay, keep patrolling," the shadow commanded, "Who's the sentry tonight?"

A soldier jumped on the eaves, and the soldier ran over and saluted nervously: "My lord, I, I don't know, it's my lord, I, I really don't know..." ”

"Don't say it," Liu Han interrupted him: "Today, if you see, tomorrow, what awaits you is thirty leather whips, if you don't send out that chirp, tomorrow, you will have to leave, and now, you have done it." ”

The soldier looked up at him in astonishment, Liu Han nodded at him, and said in a loud voice: "So, I want to reward you, everyone listen well, Niu Ploughing, well done, well done, like this, whoever comes in from outside, no matter who he is, is a dangerous enemy." Ox ploughing, reward for you, announced and executed tomorrow morning, now, everyone back to their place. ”

"Yes, sir!"

The crowd dispersed, the camp returned to calm, and soon, there was a low noise, Liu Han looked up, Niu Geng went up to the eaves again, and Liu Han stretched out his hand to call him over.

"How did you come up with the idea of hiding there?"

"Back to the adult, the adult has taught, if the enemy wants to sneak attack, touching the sentry is the first step, so, the sentry seems to be easy, the actual danger, the responsibility is heavy, the small sentry is on the roof, the beginning is on the roof, but the small think, this roof is too obvious, someone wants to come in, must first look at the roof, so, the small one hides under the eaves, the small one looks down, this position is very good, you can see the front and back, can not fall. ”

Liu Han was even more satisfied, and asked in a gentle tone: "I see that your bow and crossbow are quite accurate, have you used it before?"

Niu Geng shook his head: "No, the little ones are in the team." ”

"Oh," Liu Han was a little surprised, this bow and crossbow is simple to operate, but it is not easy to shoot accurately, this bow and crossbow is not a rifle, there is a crosshair, three points and one line, the bow and crossbow have no crosshair, on the battlefield, it is generally covered shooting, and it does not pay attention to efficiency, even if it is a strictly trained soldier, it is difficult to pierce the heart with an arrow, but just now Niu Geng's arrow was very accurate, and Liu Han had to dodge.

"You prepare, tomorrow, I will let you shoot ten arrows, and if eight arrows are on target, I will promote you to captain. ”

"Lord Xie!" Niu Geng was overjoyed, not feeling that there was anything difficult about getting on the target.

Liu Han waved his hand to let Niu Geng return to the sentry post, looked up and saw that Peng Yu was already not far away, nodded at him slightly and walked towards his room, Peng Yu followed him, and when he arrived in the room, Liu Han asked.

"What's going on?"

"It's nothing, Li Yan went out. Peng Yu replied.

Liu Han nodded, a guard came in with a basin of water, Liu Han washed his face, changed his coat, washed his feet with the basin of water, and said while washing: "It's natural for him to go out, I gave him this authority, hey, wait for him, see if he can find something." ”

Peng Yu smiled, Liu Han glared at him, Peng Yu was puzzled, and asked carefully, "My lord, what's wrong?"

"I told you to keep an eye on everyone, not only the officers, but also the soldiers, how did you keep an eye on it?"

Peng Yu frowned slightly, a little aggrieved: "My lord, I stared at it." ”

"Then what are the gains?" asked Liu Han.

Peng Yu thought about it, the officer didn't say anything, he stared at it very closely, the situation of each officer was in his heart, but the soldier, he really couldn't think of anything.

"I can't think of it," Liu Han smiled and said: "A unit, officers are important, but soldiers are equally important, especially our army, there are not many people, only more than 200 people, a general, not only to understand his officers, but also to understand his soldiers, what soldiers are good at, for example, this army is good at defense, this army is good at attacking, this army is very good at physical fitness, this team is very good at archery, and then subdivide it down, so that you can understand each soldier, understand." ”

Peng Yu nodded first, and then frowned: "My lord, if you are a general like Qiuyun, you will do the same?"

"How is that possible," Liu Han shook his head and smiled: "You kid, deliberately make things difficult." ”

Peng Yu smiled, Liu Han smiled, and said: " Okay, this military marquis will teach you, officers, first of all, you must understand your own troops, understand the generals under you, the commander, you must understand the five soldiers under you, what they are good at, so that you can mobilize the soldiers well, give full play to the maximum combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and even the commander must understand the ten soldiers under him, but this is the grassroots level, to a general like Qiu Yun, who commands 100,200,000 troops, it is impossible to understand each soldier at all, that is mainly to understand the generals, understand their abilities, past experience, those battles they have participated in, what their combat results are, and so on.....”

At this moment, the guards came in to report, Li Yan asked to see him, Liu Han smiled at Peng Yu, and then nodded, he was still washing his feet.

Li Yan strode in, he was the same as Liu Han, dressed in black, with a knife at his waist, and after coming in, he saw Liu Han washing his feet, and was slightly stunned.

"Brother Li, sit down and say, sit down and say, Peng Yu, pour a glass of water for Lord Li. Liu Han instructed, Peng Yu quickly brought water, and then withdrew.

"What did you find?" Liu Han asked casually, Li Yan was about to get up, and suddenly remembered Liu Han's words, so he smiled and said, "Aren't you going out too." ”

"I didn't find anything, I lay on the roof of the surname Song for two hours, and I didn't get anything. Liu Han said with a smile, not caring at all.

"I kind of found out that there was something wrong with the widow. Li Yan said, Liu Han frowned slightly: "Oh, let's talk about it." ”

"The woman was either a member of the internal guard or a stake in the other gangs. Li Yan said with certainty: "Tonight I went to the restaurant first, the caravan people were drinking and chatting, I stayed there for half an hour, and then went to the widow's house at the head of the town. ”

"Burned?!" Liu Han was very surprised, Li Yan nodded affirmatively, and said with some chagrin: "I didn't expect her to burn, I wanted to follow and see if she would be sent there, but I didn't expect that she would burn after seeing it." ”

Liu Han fell into deep thought, it seemed that he had ignored the widow, that widow might be the head of the place, otherwise, she would never dare to burn the letter, of course, it is not ruled out that she is a member of the internal guard or other gangs, but this possibility is very small.

"Great, Brother Liu, what should we do next?" Li Yan asked, after seeing the widow burn the letter, he did not leave immediately, but continued to stay there until the widow went to bed.

"The little demon is windy, and the pool is shallow. Liu Han smiled: "Go back and rest, let's not be in a hurry, let's take a look first, let's take a preemptive action." ”

Li Yan nodded calmly and got up to say goodbye.

After he left, Peng Yu came in, Liu Han's feet were still in the basin, he didn't panic, he had followed Liu Han for so long, he already knew some of Liu Han's habits.

After a while, Liu Han seemed to wake up, wiped his feet dry, went out with water, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Peng Yu took it.

"Go back to sleep, it'll be fine tonight. Liu Han commanded.

"My lord, do you want to arrange someone outside?"

"No, in this world, there are not many people who can sneak attack me. ”

Peng Yu smiled, turned around and went out, the top-grade grandmaster, sneak attack the top-grade grandmaster, that's so easy, I'm afraid only those old monsters can do it in this world.

During the morning exercise the next day, Liu Han asked Niu Geng to shoot ten arrows in front of Quanqu, and Niu Geng's arrows hit the target.

Liu Han held the target in his hand and showed it to everyone.

"Who else can do that?"

Not only did the recruits dare not speak, but a hundred steps away, they could use a crossbow so accurately, let alone recruits, and no one among veterans could do it.

"Niu Geng enlisted in the army at the same time as you, why can he do it and you can't?"

The soldiers didn't answer, Liu Han sighed slightly: "Just take the results of Niu Ploughing as the standard, whoever can do it, this military marquis will also be rewarded, Niu Geng, I will appoint you as the commander of the army, and reward you with twenty taels of silver." ”

Peng Yu walked in front of Liu Han with a plate, Liu Han uncovered the red cloth, revealing a stack of silver tickets, and Niu Geng took the silver tickets excitedly.

"I'll make a rule here, who among you can be like a cow ploughing, a hundred steps away, ten out of ten, I will still reward, ten taels of silver!

"My lord, the ox plough is twenty taels of silver. Someone shouted in the ranks.

"Who's talking, come out!" Liu Han scolded in a stern tone.

Everyone fell silent, no one stood up, Liu Leng smiled and drank: "How dare you do it, you dare not admit it!"

"I, I said it!"

A lean short soldier came out of the queue and looked at Liu Han with his head held high, his captain was very nervous, and hurriedly explained: "My lord!"

Liu Han waved his hand to stop him, walked up to the soldier, and asked in a low voice, "You are so bold!

"The adult asked, the small one replied, what's wrong, besides, the head fell off, and the bowl had a big scar!" replied the soldier without blinking his eyelids.

Liu Han punched him in the chest, and the soldier shook it, took a step back, and quickly stepped forward to stand firm.

"Okay!" Liu Han nodded with satisfaction: "That's a good point! The head is off, and the bowl has a big scar! Since you are a soldier, you live a job of licking blood with a knife, and when you go to the battlefield, you will either cut people or be cut down, there is no second way, you must be bloody and murderous when you become a soldier! Look left and right, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law!"

Looking at the short soldier in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! Courageous! Bloody! Hu San, good soldier!"

These words ignited everyone's enthusiasm, and the morning training was in full swing, both soldiers and officers were extremely serious, and Liu Han did not go out, but personally supervised the training and observed at various training grounds.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Han noticed Peng Yu, and Peng Yu and some officers looked at him with a strange expression, so they asked.

Peng Yu laughed dryly twice before replying: "Adults are different from before. ”

Liu Han snorted, looked up at the soldiers in the training ground, Cheng Jia was urging the soldiers to practice swords, and a few soldiers were practicing swords, and some soldiers were sitting upright refining qi.

"To be honest, I didn't care about you before, because I didn't plan to work in the forbidden army at all. ”

Peng Yu was surprised, he couldn't help it, Liu Han sighed: "What about me, in business, with a low status, some time ago, I heard that the imperial court was going to implement the policy of suing me, so I thought about mixing up my identity and avoiding this catastrophe, so I donated an official, I have an identity, how can I hide it." That's why I'm too lazy to care about those things, and a Hanhai trading company is enough for me to play. ”

Peng Yu was secretly frightened, Liu Han didn't seem to notice it, and continued: "Actually, in the army, being strict with you is the only way to love you, and being loose to you is to harm you. It is to love them in life, eat and dress, and take care of them, and take care of what happens to their family, understand?"

"Understood!" Peng Yu said, he was born in the border army of Bingzhou, and when Emperor Taiding was emperor, Pan Ji adjusted the forbidden army and transferred a large number of generals from the border army of Bingzhou out of the border army, but a low-level officer like him did not move, Liu Han said while he was contrasting, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Then the adults are not going to leave now?" Peng Yu asked tentatively, faintly happy in his heart, he was a veteran, and he knew that keeping up with a clever boss would make it easy to save his life on the battlefield, and outside the battlefield, he would be promoted quickly.

Liu Han didn't answer immediately, Peng Yu suddenly felt a little nervous, and after a while, Liu Han stopped, looked at the soldiers on the playground, and sighed softly: "I thought things simple, now it seems that I have to stay in the forbidden army, since I want to stay, my soldiers are soldiers who must be able to fight, and my soldiers must absolutely obey my orders." ”

Peng Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's it, don't worry, my lord, the brothers are not stupid, they know who is good to them." ”

Liu Han nodded, at the end of the day, although the soldiers were very tired, they were in good spirits and their morale was very high, Liu Han called Cheng Jia Liyan and told them that they were going to expand by another hundred people, and both of them agreed, five hundred people in one song, and now there are only two hundred and sixty people, even if they expand by another hundred people, they are still not full.

"My lord, where are we going to recruit troops? Also, is it allowed from above?" Although Cheng Jia agreed, who didn't want to have more soldiers under his command, but the boss stipulated that there were only 260 people in this song, and besides, it was really difficult for this town to recruit 100 people.

"It doesn't matter if you don't care about it, you just need to recruit, the standard will be set according to the last time, don't worry, take your time, we still have a long time here." Liu Han smiled.

Cheng Jia Liyan received the order.

Liu Han estimated that his troops would stay here for about a year, and he wanted to make the troops full in this year, as for Yang Hui, let the palace explain.

In the next three days, Liu Han still did not take a step out of the camp gate, concentrating on training every day, and the soldiers patrolled the town every day.

The residents of the town were still worried at first, but after three days, they were also a little used to it, especially those who had a heart, there were carriages out of the barracks every day to buy goods, pork, vegetables and grain, all bought, unlike other places, the soldiers were very kind, they did not force them to buy and sell, and they all paid according to the price.

The soldiers patrolled and did not disturb the townspeople and passing merchants, on the contrary, every time they met merchants, the officers who led the team also chatted with them, asking them if they were safe, whether there were robbers, and so on.

From the mouths of the open-mouthed soldiers, the people of the town probably knew what these soldiers were doing here, and the county reported to the imperial court, saying that the mountain bandits in this area were plagued and the place was miserable, so the imperial court sent them to suppress the bandits.

This news made the people of the town cry and laugh, the bandits from this quiet town.

But when this news reached Song Lizheng's ears, the taste was very different, and they couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and immediately asked Blackbeard to strictly control his subordinates and not allow them to go out of the mountain again.

"It's all these bastards, let them not cause trouble, don't make trouble, now it's okay, bring in the officials and soldiers, this is going to miss the master's big thing, and it will be severely punished!" Song Lizheng muttered angrily in his heart.
