Chapter 63: In the Army

Xiao Wu's eyelids jumped, he always felt that all his actions might be under the emperor's nose. Especially the manuscript that the crown prince wrote today, perhaps someone has already reported it to the emperor.

But now he has no other way, how can he avoid being beheaded by the loose cultivators hired by the Chu State? Hold the crown prince tightly, and if he holds the prince, he will hold the emperor, and he will hold the worship hall! This is the only way that Xiao Wu thought of after pondering for several days.

Especially after meeting that Tiancheng Great Immortal yesterday, Xiao Wu already had no hope for what guest hall he would worship.

Xiao Wu touched the prince's handwriting in his arms and told the coachman to go to the barracks.

Xiao Wu's pro-army began to be formed when he was appointed as the generalissimo of the Shang army, and now it is full of 5,000 people, all the sergeants are drawn from the border army by Xiao Zicheng by means, and there are even many middle and low-level officers of the original Xiao family's descendant troops, directly as ordinary soldiers, into the generalissimo's pro-army. It's a pity that more than a month after the formation of the army, their generalissimo has not even come to the barracks once.

The carriage stopped outside the barracks, which was located on the south side of the Song capital, under a not-so-high hill called Nanxing Mountain.

When Xiao Wu arrived, the sergeants had already finished their drills and gathered in twos and threes to chat.

Xiao Wu stepped out of the carriage, and the dazzling Taizu Golden Immortal Armor reflected the sun's rays, dazzling. There were generals waiting in front of the camp gate, but there were more than ten people.

The leader has black armor and black armor, and his face is also dark, Xiao Wu thought it was an African friend at first glance. This person is about two meters tall, with a big waist and a round waist.

Xiao Zicheng once said that the generalissimo's personal guard battalion was led by Tian Ben. This Tian Ben was originally born in a peasant family, and his grandfather received the great favor of the Xiao family and followed the Xiao family. What's more, because Xiao Wu's grandfather once looked for a famous teacher to guide him, and practiced the strength of the dealer into hard qigong, and now he has served the Xiao family for three generations. The third generation of the Tian family is Tian Ben, don't look at this person who looks rough and heroic, but he can write poems and paint landscapes.

When Xiao Wu looked at this person, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "If you can draw beauties, it will be a proper Zhang Fei." ”

Xiao Wu got out of the car, Tian Ben and everyone had already stepped forward together, kneeling on one knee, "The last general will meet the generalissimo of the Shang army." ”

The eyes of several people were full of stars, and Xiao Wu was thrilled. What do you mean? Are you so fanatical? If you look closely, you find that these more than ten people are not looking at themselves at all, they are looking at the golden armor on their bodies, is this the glory of their ancestors?

Xiao Wu was originally worried that they would be a personal guard because of the demotion of officials, and he would be a little angry. Now, it doesn't seem like that's the case.

Xiao Wu hurriedly stepped forward and helped the generals up. Haha laughed, "You are General Tian Ben, you are really mighty and majestic!"

Tian Ben hugged his fists and said, "Die for the marshal!"

Xiao Wu patted him, "Don't die, live well." ”

After speaking, Xiao Wu walked to the next general, "General Chen Ang, transferred from the North to the Beijing Division, but I have wronged you." ”

The general's eyes were hot, and he said to Xiao Wudao, "If you can enter the generalissimo's personal guard, what more can you ask for." ”

Xiao Wu picked up the next one, "General Lin Mo! ”

The general looked shocked, not wanting his own marshal to recognize him.

Xiao Wu helped them over one by one, calling out the names of the generals one by one, and some of them could even tell each other's deeds in a simple sentence. Several people were immediately moved, but they really didn't expect that their marshal had not arrived at the barracks, and they all had an impression of themselves.

Xiao Wu was also crammed temporarily, before Xiao Zicheng gave him the notes in the book, several personal guard generals were on it, and there were portraits. The portrait is not clear, but the physical features are all on it. Xiao Wu took it out from the carriage to watch, and his memory was extraordinary after practicing, so it was no problem to call out his name.

Xiao Wu smiled inwardly, the first impression was successful! Although these people are mortals, they have to rely on these people to protect them when they get to the battlefield.

A group of generals surrounded Xiao Wu and walked into the barracks, and went straight to the colonel's field. Then some generals beat the war drums, and after the drums, the school field was already lined up neatly.

Xiao Wu nodded secretly, although they couldn't be compared with the soldiers in their hometown, but these people all had a strong killing aura. Obviously, they are all fierce generals who have been on the battlefield.

came to the guard camp today, which was specially explained by Xiao Zicheng. Looking at the five thousand guards in front of him, Xiao Wu knew the purpose of his father letting him come here, and he would rely on them on the battlefield!

A tiger skin chair was placed on the school field, and Xiao Wu sat on it, which felt like a mountain carving. With a fork of his legs and a wave of his big hand, "General Tian, let's start!"

"Drill!" heard Tian Ben shout, and the army on the school field was divided, vacating the middle area.

Then I saw a hundred soldiers, catching and fighting. Although the moves are not very pretty, they look deadly. After fighting for a while, some of them have been knocked down by the back of their knives, and some of them are fighting by themselves.

Xiao Wu was shocked, fighting like this, wouldn't he get injured during training?

Tian Ben next to him said with a smile, "If these boys don't fight hard during training, they will die on the battlefield." ”

Xiao Wu nodded.

A moment later there was a change of cavalry, the same hundred. Directly back and forth in conflict, the four hooves of the war horse are in the air when they run, there is no fancy, but it makes people's blood boil.

After the rehearsal of the battle formation, the formation changed, Xiao Wu couldn't understand it, just nodded while watching, and occasionally applauded and admired. A senior once said that if you don't understand, just nod your head while watching, and it will make people next to you think that you know very well. Xiao Wu was like this at this time.

After the exercise, the army was assembled again.

Xiao Wu stood up and shouted to the troops in the audience, "Brothers, I am the generalissimo of the Shang army, the general of Pingnan, and the general of the trilateral system, Xiao Wu! I will rush to the front line tomorrow." You must fight bravely to kill the enemy, return from the front line, have wine, meat, and money to spend! Not much else, my Xiao Wu's life will be handed over to my brothers!"

The generals were already standing in the queue, raising their weapons and shouting, "Die for the generalissimo!"

Xiao Wu looked at the crowd in the audience, and his heart was surging for a while. He also suddenly understood why the emperor always wanted to kill their Xiao family, and the fanaticism in the eyes of these five thousand people was like a burning flame. They looked at the Taizu Golden Immortal Armor on their bodies, as if they saw the eternal battle flag.

walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, but saw Wen Chengzuo standing aside with a book in his hand. Xiao Wu was stunned, why did this person take the initiative to come?

But seeing Wen Chengzuo's face full of spring breeze, he walked up to Xiao Wu and saluted with his fists, "Wen Chengzuo, a member of the household department, meet the generalissimo of the Shang army." "Every move is neither humble nor arrogant.

Xiao Wu looked at Wen Chengzuo, and suddenly remembered the official steps of his father in front of the door, which was also imposing and beautiful.

Xiao Wudao, "Why is Lord Wen here?"

Wen Chengzuo took the book in his hand, bowed down and said, "The subordinate has already drawn up fifteen civil and military personnel in the army, and their respective abilities and specialties are all listed. ”

Xiao Wu took the roster and looked at the names and resumes of those personnel, most of them were not very old, some were thirty or forty years old, and the youngest was twenty-one years old. Looking at the resumes, most of them are five-grade officials, and some are six-grade and seven-grade. Xiao Wu frowned, does this Wen Chengzuo still want not to offend people?

But seeing Wen Chengzuo take out another book, hold it in his hand and say, "Generalissimo, the lower official plans to have one hundred and thirty-five students with the army and twenty-eight young generals with the army." Generalissimo, please!"

Xiao Wu took the list, and was shocked as soon as he saw the first line, "Dongfang Hao, the fourth son of the first assistant Dongfang Yan, a student, good at poetry and classics...... "The son of the first assistant Dongfang Yan?" and directly marked it......?

Looking back, Xiao Wu's eyelids jumped. But all of them are the heirs of high-ranking officials, not only Beijing officials, but even the heirs of some feudal officials, which is to dig out the old bottom of the Beijing officials. Xiao Wu's eyes were sharp and he looked at Wen Chengzuo.

Wen Chengzuo dusted off his sleeves, bowed and said, "Generalissimo, if you fight, you must be capable." Weichen recommended all fifteen people, all of whom were either talented but not encountered, or had great talents but did not show them. The list of students and young generals drawn up by Wei Chen, only by holding these people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely go with the Generalissimo!"

Xiao Wu's eyes flickered, he took away these nearly 200 disciples, he was holding the hearts of all the big people!

Xiao Wu laughed out loud, "Master Wen, you won't be a member of the household department from today onwards. This marshal has appointed you as a senator with the army, and the official residence is the fourth grade! I will report to His Majesty and the Ministry of War. ”

Wen Chengzuo smiled slightly, clenched his fists and bowed, "I am willing to die for the generalissimo!"

Xiao Wu sneered in his heart, this Wen Chengzuo is also a talent. Xiao Wu didn't believe in his loyalty, but he knew that since he had used him against the emperor, he had no way out.
