Views:

In the imperial study, Li Shimin laughed heartily: "Jun Xian, you shouldn't have come to report this matter to me."

"Your Majesty, why is this? Baiqi, but the army that Your Majesty invested a huge amount of manpower, financial resources and effort in building up, is it really possible for a young and inexperienced general like Qin Mubai to mess around like this?" Li Junxian was at a loss. untie.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Qin Mubai is right to do this. I want a truly elite army. As for how he does it, that is his business. If I use people without suspicion and use them without suspicion, he should let him go." I'll do it now. I won't make any judgments until the results come out. Otherwise, I might as well become the Hundred Cavalry Envoy, right? How about becoming a prime minister, a general, a governor, or a county magistrate?"

"Uh... what your majesty said is absolutely true." Li Junxian blushed, lowered his head and clasped his fists in shame, "It's Wei Chen who has become a villain. From today on, Wei Chen will fully assist Qin Mubai and help him train Baiqi. "

Li Shimin nodded meaningfully and smiled: "Jun Xian, feel free to do your duty."

Li Junxian's expression changed slightly, and he bowed his hands in front of him: "Wei Chen obeys the order... Wei Chen resigns!"

After Li Junxian left, Li Shimin chuckled: "Qin Mubai, this kid, has a lot of skills... This is great!"

Walking out of the imperial study, Li Junxian shook his head and sighed in confusion, and said to himself: "The emperor actually asked me to 'do my job with peace of mind', which meant that I would not be too troublesome and would be hindered by making small reports. Let Qin Mubai do anything? ... Am I, a veteran who has been with the emperor for decades, less trustworthy than Qin Mubai, a rising star who has only been in front of the emperor a few times? ... This kid!"

When Qin Mubai was looking through materials on soldiers in the study, Li Junxian walked in. Seeing his expression, Qin Mubai understood. Zhan Yan stood up with a smile. Qin Mubai came up to greet him and cupped his hands: "General Li, does your Majesty have any wishes?"

"Your Majesty... you are approved." Li Junxian breathed out in his chest, and he almost said these words through his teeth.

"That must be thanks to General Li's careful attention. I'm very grateful." Qin Mubai said with a sincere smile on his face, holding his hands in hand.

"Uh..." Li Junxian smiled awkwardly and returned the favor, "Easy to say, easy to say. Mu Bai is young and has a big heart. I really feel sorry for myself."

"What are you talking about, General Li? The general is a senior. He has crossed more bridges than I have walked. He has rich experience in marching, fighting and leading troops in training. If I want to lead hundreds of cavalry well, I must leave at all times." General Li's teachings." Qin Mubai laughed and pulled Li Junxian to sit down, and poured tea for him personally, which made Li Junxian feel a little self-conscious and uneasy about being flattered.

He could only secretly marvel in his heart: Qin Mubai, this kid, is really awesome... I came with full of doubts and depression, but I was instantly relieved by his generosity and tolerance, and I became grateful and admired for him. He has such magnanimity and skill at such a young age. Given time, his future will be limitless!

The two of them drank tea and talked, focusing on military affairs. Qin Mubai indeed had many things to ask Li Junxian for advice. After all, the army of the Tang Dynasty was very different from the army of the 21st century. Qin Mubai needs to understand every detail in the army. For example, how to set up camp, how to arrange troops, how to allocate barracks, how to arrange horses and weapons, all these must be learned from scratch.

Inadvertently, the two chatted until late at night. Qin Mubai ordered the fire room to add food and provide food for midnight snacks, and asked the servants to tidy up the room, leaving Li Junxian to stay in the government office. The two held a candle and talked almost all night long. Qin Mubai recorded everything of value that Li Junxian said in detail. One day and one night, he wrote a thick stack of notes.

When the sky was twilight, Li Junxian came out of the study, took a long breath in the early morning mist and slowly exhaled, shook his head and sighed: "Smart and eager to learn, not ashamed to ask questions, lenient in treating others and strict in self-discipline, both civil and military, knowledgeable, talented, and humble. Cautious and courteous corporal...the style of a general, the style of a general! I am really not as good as this kid!"

In the next few days, Qin Mubai still didn't leave the office much. He invited the general supervisor and craftsmen from the Ordnance Department, took out some of the drawings he had designed and studied them with them, and began to construct training facilities in the camp.

These craftsmen are all ingenious and versatile people with the most sophisticated craftsmanship in the world. Seeing these drawings of Qin Mubai, you can't help but be a little amazed. Parallel bars, hanging rings, and barbells are simple but unheard of; barbed wire obstacles and independent balance beams, and I don't know what they are used for. They also had to dig puddles and mud pits on the field, erect many wooden walls for climbing over, and wear strange camouflage training clothes with buttons and special leather boots, which all made these craftsmen confused.

The fog is still fog, and there is no room for any delay in the matters assigned by the army. In three or four days, a large number of craftsmen gathered in the Baiqi camp and worked day and night, finally producing all the props Qin Mubai told them.

Baiqi's camp suddenly became full of strange things, making everyone feel fresh and curious.

The equipment is issued.

Qin Mubai asked everyone to take off their gorgeous and heavy armors and put on strong and wear-resistant camouflage uniforms. While the soldiers were still playing with those strange buttons and boot straps, Qin Mubai announced that training would begin now.

The training program was announced, and everyone was confused and didn't know what to do. Qin Mubai personally demonstrated one by one. From obstacle climbing to strength training, plus diving and endurance, swimming and fighting... there are more than ten items in total, and Qin Mubai demonstrates them all with his own body.

Six hundred soldiers exclaimed loudly and were amazed.

This must be the most unique training method in the world!

At the same time, all the soldiers began to admire Qin Mubai in their hearts - this man really had some real ability! These things look simple, but are extremely difficult to do! Let's just say that if you crawl through this barbed wire fence, if you are not careful, your butt will be scratched by the barbed wire fence. But he passed by like a loach! Defeating the enemy with one move in free fighting is a powerful and practical real skill!

In just seven days, Qin Mubai used his abilities and skills to completely conquer the hearts of 600 soldiers and became a true commander in their hearts.

Not long after the training started, other Hundred Cavalry officers came to report.

Three deputy envoys, Changsun Huan, Yuchi Baoyun and Cheng Huaibi, plus more than ten other brigade commanders, a total of 21 people, were a little scared when they first stepped into the Baiqi camp - where is this place?

Why are these people all wearing weird clothes and rolling around on the ground? Isn't it fun

Changsun Huan sneered, "Qin Mubai is only qualified to play the pipa. He is indeed a good actor and actress. A good royal guard has turned into such a ghost."

"Young Master Changsun, go and report to His Majesty the Emperor! Impeach this rogue Baiqi Envoy and let you take over. Only then will our brothers be convinced." Yuchi Baoyun said.

Several officers around him responded in unison: "Yes, yes, how can he, Qin Mubai, be so virtuous?"

After hearing this, Cheng Huaibi was very angry, but seeing that Chang Sun Huan and others were not easy to get angry, he ran into the military camp to find Qin Mubai first and told him these words.

Qin Mubai smiled casually: "Huaibi, please ignore them. I have my own way of dealing with these people. Now you go back and change your clothes, and then go into training with these soldiers immediately. In addition, seize the time to memorize the military regulations." , I will take your test in three days. "

"Don't worry, Third Brother Qin, won't I listen to you? Those guys like Changsun Huan, if they come here with bad intentions, will definitely make things difficult for you."

"Don't worry, brother, I have my own way to deal with them. I'll tell you the password first, otherwise you won't be able to enter the Yamen... Just go ahead!" Qin Mubai patted Cheng Huaibi on the shoulder. He smiled nonchalantly.

"We're new here, let's take a look at the situation." Changsun Huan and a group of people didn't go to the training ground to say hello to Qin Mubai, and walked straight towards the Yamen in a swaggering manner.

Qin Mubai looked at this group of people from a distance and smiled casually: "The tail is big enough to cause trouble for me, right?" You deserve it!

Changsun Huan and others walked to the Yamen. Two soldiers stepped forward with cold expressions and raised their hands to stop them: "Stop! Password!"

"What?" Yuchi Baoyun's eyes widened, "What's the bird password?"

The sergeant looked coldly at this group of young men wearing gorgeous bright armor, and said solemnly: "The password of General Qin, the Baiqi Envoy. No one is allowed to enter the Yamen privately without a password!"

"You are blind!" Yuchi Baoyun was furious, "I am Yuchi Baoyun, the deputy envoy of Baiqi. This is Mr. Changsun Huan, the deputy envoy of Baiqi! We don't know the bird password, why don't you get out of here? !”

"Anyone who breaks into the government camp without a password will be punished by the military." The sergeant was unmoved and coldly glanced at the group of people in front of him. He placed one hand on his hip and the other hand tightly grasping the handle of the knife. "Please, generals, please don't embarrass me. Otherwise, I'm sorry." , General Qin will definitely cut off his head to correct military law."

"Then do you believe that I will chop off your head now?" Changsun Huan narrowed his eyes and shouted in a deep voice.

"If you want to behead the general, that is the general's business. It is your duty to guard the troops." The sergeant remained unmoved and refused to give in. He said resolutely, "Unless there is a password, I must not let the generals in. Unless, The generals stepped on the corpses below and entered."

"Damn it, you're mentally ill!" Yuchi Baoyun roared angrily, jumped up and was about to punch him.

"Wait a minute." Changsun Huan raised his hand and grabbed Yuchi Baoyun's wrist, stopped him, frowned, and whispered, "It seems that Qin Mubai entered the camp a few days before us and has already preconceived the rules. , and these people also obey his orders. We are new here and cannot recklessly break military regulations and give others instructions."

"Hmph!..." Yuchi Baoyun put down his fist bitterly and glared at the sergeant angrily, "Asshole, remember this, you will be my soldier from now on, and I will make sure you walk around without food!"

The sergeant was completely unmoved. He glanced at Yuchi Baoyun and others coldly and said, "Baiqi, I have always only recognized General Qin Mubai and his military orders."
