Battle of the Red Mansions

Taking everything into consideration, Tu Jingyang didn't say anything on the surface, but in private, he had already sent a letter to the capital to give their royal brother a vaccination.

The emperor's brother's memorial wall is already aimed at letting him start a family quickly, even if there is no princess, it is the same to find a man.

Maybe it's because his image of broken sleeves has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even the emperor's brother has forgotten why he gained such a reputation in the first place.

That's fine, save him explaining.

Unaware that he was being missed, Lin Xuan watched Tu Jingyang clean up the corrupt officials in Jinling, and took A-Gump to the northwest after a few days.

Asking Chang Yuan to prepare everything for them, Tu Jingyang sent the people out of the city, and then settled down to clean up the Jiangnan officialdom from Jinling.

The relationship between the clan is intricate, no wonder Lin Ruhai hasn't figured it out after half a year, and he himself is a member of the clan, so it's inevitable that he will be tied up.

Everyone has something to be busy with. Lin Xuan and A-Gump made it all the way to Pujin Pass in the northwest, and then found that what he thought was right. The combat methods of the elite soldiers he dispatched before had all changed back to infantry.

Regardless of whether Tiance was a cavalry or a big-headed soldier, one thing is undeniable. Their combat effectiveness is the strongest on horseback. Without guns and horses, is Tiance still Tiance?

Looking faintly at the soldiers who had forgotten everything they had learned after training with Xie Jiajun for a few months, Lin Xuan stood at the door of the camp holding his chest, and went directly to General Xie without saying anything.

It doesn't matter, he wants soldiers, recruits, or the soldiers who were trained in the way of cavalry from the beginning, so he won't change his arms easily, just like himself, knowing the strength of fighting immediately, who can give up Horses and spears?

"General, master, why did Tiance's soldiers return to Xie's army?"

Tiance's soldiers originally came from Xie's army, if they all go back this time, where will the horses and spears he won before go?

Moreover, as a mighty and powerful country, how could it not have its own cavalry?

Not to mention that this dynasty was constantly harassed by foreign cavalry because it did not pay attention to cavalry, but a long time ago, the elite troops of the Warring States Period, Zhao Zhi cavalry was the first time to make a name for the cavalry.

The current situation is not much different from that at that time. The aliens live in the north, and even if they fight, they cannot stop their harassment. Although the infantry is flexible, once a conflict arises, apart from winning by numbers, they cannot fight and cannot catch up. The alien cavalry I don't feel any pressure, and I will definitely come again next time.

With the perfect dispatch of cavalry, infantry and crossbowmen, Li Mu wiped out [-] Hun troops, making the Hu people dare not go south to herd horses for more than ten years. Wei Qinghuo Qubing wiped out hundreds of thousands of enemies with cavalry, and then the Huns fled far away. Wang Ting, they were even more

Well, the history here seems to have turned a corner before the Tang Dynasty

But even if this is the case, it cannot conceal that in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Wei Gong Li Jing led a thousand elite cavalry to attack Dingxiang, and then rushed with Li Ji with more than [-] cavalry in the middle of the night, captured Jieli Khan, and annihilated them in one fell swoop. The famous Eastern Turks made great contributions to the opening of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Anyway, there must be cavalry, even if he may not have performed well before, but he can't just take all the soldiers and horses away!

Lin Xuan's anxious eyes were red, and Xie Qiong was interrupted several times when he wanted to speak. It took him a full hour to listen to him talking about the achievements of cavalry in history.

As expected of a member of the Lin family, even if they came to the military camp, they still directly showed the special characteristics of their scholarly family when they got excited.

No matter what you say is right or wrong, in short, no one can interrupt you when you are speaking.

When Lin Xuan finally said that she was tired and stood there panting and looking at him, Xie Qiong didn't bother to say anything to him, but just patted the dust on her body and passed her saliva, and then brought Lin Xuan to the training ground for He looked at the situation of these soldiers now.

It was not that there were no cavalry in the beginning of the Daqing Dynasty, but the original people grew up on horseback, and even if there was a conflict between the two sides, the casualties were often heavy. After several such defeats, the cavalry gradually became disliked by the superiors.

Although they have a place to raise horses, the horses used for combat are of high value, and the training time is also very long. It takes time for soldiers and horses to get in touch. It will directly attack its own people, and the entire army will be in chaos before the enemy attacks.

Compared with infantry and army soldiers who can go to the battlefield with weapons, cavalry is a luxury and useless existence in the hearts of superiors.

If you can win the battle, it's fine, but if you can't win the battle, it will cost manpower and financial resources. Does such an army still have meaning?

The Daqing Dynasty has been using infantry to fight against foreign races since its founding. Although the losses were heavy, it did not allow the foreign races to take advantage of it.

They can't win on horseback, so they use their brains and tricks to win.

Compared with strategy, they still have the upper hand.

Everyone can see Lin Xuan's achievements in the past two years, but the soldiers Xie Qiong gave him were all infantry. Although he taught him some urgent skills to fight on horseback without losing, it was nothing more than that.

Even Xie Qiong herself had to admit that, being used to standing on the ground and fighting with real swords and guns, these soldiers couldn't do Lin Xuan's freedom of coming and going when they were on horseback, and they always habitually moved the infantry Take that set with you.

During the war, Lin Xuan charged forward and picked up a large area, and everyone was so red-eyed that they didn't pay attention to it. They didn't find anything at the time, but the problem came out during training.

In the battles in the past few years, there were not many people who actually fought on horseback. The aliens just started to be arrogant. Later, when they were scared of being beaten, they only dared to harass Xiaobo's men and horses. many.

Let these soldiers who were originally Xie's army follow Lin Xuan to re-train, whether it is habit or tactics, there is something wrong. Since he has the ability to bring out an iron cavalry that can defeat foreign cavalry, it is not impossible to start training from scratch.

Extravagance is extravagance. The deterrent power of cavalry is more than 01:30 points higher than that of infantry. If it can be achieved, the Daqing Dynasty can also be like Li Mu in the Warring States Period.

He only saw that Bing, who had worked hard for two years and finally achieved some results, returned to his original state in just a few months. Lin Xuan looked at Xie Qiong with a straight face and said in a bad tone, "What does Master want me to see? Let's see if they are How come it's back to normal?"

Bear boy, has General Ben started to explain?

Knowing that Lin Xuan is not in a good mood, and knowing that he has a bad temper when he is in a bad mood, Xie Qiong didn't have the same experience as him, but just said lightly from the side, "I let you read these just to let you know, I chose them in a hurry. Not all of them are suitable for cavalry, Xie's army is all elite soldiers, but they also have established methods of combat."

With a twitch in his heart, he heard that their general had something to say, Lin Xuan clenched his fists and stared at their general, then asked nervously, "And then?"

With a slightly hoarse voice full of anticipation and fear, Lin Xuan suppressed his beating heart, and then just waited for their general to continue.

If it is what he thinks, in the next month or two, he will tell Li Feisha not to bully Fei Huang, and even Ma Cao will use Fei Huang tightly.

Lightly glanced at Lin Xuan, under the expectant eyes of the apprentice, General Xie finally opened his mouth again.

"These soldiers have already been identified. I asked Rujin to pay attention when recruiting soldiers. I specially left 200 soldiers for you to fill the Tiance Army."

1000 two hundred people!

Still a recruit!

This is about to embark on the Kangzhuang Avenue!

General, you are really a dear master, such a generous master is really rare now!

Lin Xuan couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. If General Xie's expression wasn't too serious, he might have celebrated in circles by now.

After all, he is his apprentice, even if he is a little stupid, he can only get used to it, otherwise what would he do as a master.

Thinking of this, Xie Qiong patted his head, then calmly withdrew his paws and walked in front, "Those people are in another training ground, Xie Yang was afraid that there would be problems training with other soldiers, so he only taught Except for their most basic hacking and picking, the rest will wait for you to come back."

Excited and not knowing what to do, Lin Xuan forcibly suppressed the corners of her raised mouth, and then looked at Xie Qiong with extremely bright eyes, "Master, apprentice, did I tell you that you are indeed a person who does great things."

With a light glance over, Xie Qiong sneered, looking at the apprentice who was about to fly, he habitually wanted to press down.

Fortunately, I still remember to maintain my image. General Xie’s eyes flashed with a smile, and then he looked at Lin Xuan with a straight expression, "Although 1000 or [-] people are not many, it is enough if they appear as a surprise army. It's limited, if it's possible in the future, it doesn't matter if the Tiance Army has more soldiers."

Among the tens of thousands of infantry, the 1000-strong Tiance Army is indeed nothing, but their army needs too many things to build up. Horses, food, and grass are indispensable. Even if Xie Qiong can contact the capital at any time, he There is also no way to keep too many people in the Tiance Army.

One or two successes are nothing, if Lin Xuan can't bring out a real cavalry, Tiance probably will have the same fate as those cavalry in the past.

Nodding solemnly, Lin Xuan clenched his fists, and made a tooth-piercing sound between his joints, "Don't worry, general, the next time a foreign race invades, the 1000 or [-] members of the Tiance Army will definitely let them come and go. "

"It's good if you have such determination." Taking people to another training ground not far away, Xie Qiong and Lin Xuan stood in front of the tent and watched the soldiers practicing the most basic movements in a uniform manner, with eyes showing A hint of satisfaction.

To have such patience, the aptitude of these soldiers is not bad.

"Ah Xuan, you are Tiance General appointed by the emperor. When these soldiers arrive in Tiance, they belong to you only. Although they are usually with Xie's army, they no longer belong to Xie's army. Do you understand?" Talking about his twists and turns, Xie Qiong led him around, without disturbing the soldiers who were training.

"The general means that these are all my personal soldiers?" Looking at Xie Qiong in surprise, Lin Xuan couldn't care less about getting excited, "But, is this okay?"

He is only 20 years old this year, and he is a bit young to train these soldiers, let alone let these soldiers be called his personal soldiers.

Although this is his plan in the future, this matter is beyond his control now.

The Xie family's army is fully controlled by their generals, a large part of which is because of the Xie family. The generals only inherited this military power from their predecessors, and most of the military camps in other places are like this.

The emperor controls those who hold the military power, but he has no intention of taking back all the military power. Maybe it is because he is relieved of the people below, or maybe he has no time to take care of these things first.

But he is still young, and the Lin family has never been in contact with the military. Isn't it too much to ask these soldiers to be his personal soldiers?

Although he didn't want to admit it, the power of the family was really important here.

Turning to look at their silly apprentice, Xie Qiong helped the mask on his face, "The emperor personally named you General Tiance, don't you understand what this means?"

Shaking his head embarrassingly, Lin Xuan tugged at his hair and didn't answer. He is now the fourth-rank governor, and at the same time, he also has a Tiance general who has no rank. This title was bestowed by the emperor himself after he talked to Prince Ning'an , he always thought that the emperor thought it was nice to say it casually, is there any other way to say it?

To be honest, in their army, Du Si is really not a high-ranking official, even if he is the one in charge of Jincheng nearby.

Now that Han Rujin and Xie Yang are both joining the army, which one is not higher than his official position, you can't blatantly let him have a soldier just because he got a reward before, right?

Rubbing his forehead and looking at Lin Xuan who was puzzled, Xie Qiong sighed quietly, "Ah Xuan, have you never listened to your teacher's lectures at home?"

Not knowing why their general suddenly mentioned this, Lin Xuan froze for a moment, then nodded awkwardly.

Because what the husband said was what he had learned before, even if he had almost forgotten it at that time, he didn't want to go through the ordeal again, so most of the time it was the husband who gave the lectures to Forrest Gump, while he practiced guns beside him.

Anyway, Mr. also saw that he was a talent that could not be carved but molded, and there was a martial arts master to help him intercede, so he continued like this, but does this have anything to do with what he said just now?

"In this dynasty, there is a difference between a general with a title and a general without a title. Since the emperor named you General Tiance, as long as you are a general of the Tiance Army, except for the emperor, you are the highest in control, even I can't help you." There is no way to mobilize."

If it wasn't because Prince Ning An proposed it first, the emperor would not have given him this title so easily.

It's also that they have never mentioned this before. If it wasn't for this time, he wouldn't know that this kid didn't even know these things. If outsiders knew about it, they would have to laugh at Xie Qiong for not knowing how to teach apprentices.

Well, well, he is ignorant.

Nodding silently, Lin Xuan stood there obediently, letting their general look at him like a fool.

After complaining in his heart for a while, General Xie, who had recovered his usual expression, patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder and told him, "These soldiers picked out are not without thorns, because you have never come back, they have been practicing the basics for you. General Fa is very dissatisfied, and is waiting for you to come back and give you a good blow."

Receiving soldiers is not just as simple as talking about it. These 1000 or [-] soldiers will all be his brothers who can give their lives in the future. How can a single order convince them?

Lin Xuan looked too young, and he had never seen him pick a piece of horse with a gun. It would take a lot of effort to conquer these soldiers.

Raising her eyebrows and looking at the rows of soldiers outside, the corners of Lin Xuan's mouth raised uncontrollably, "Not convinced? Change after one beating. If one beating doesn't work, then two beatings."

Commander Li's original words, what to do if you encounter a thorny head, just fight him with a gun!

It's easy to say if you win, but if you don't win, you still have the face to come back and complain, shameful thing, run a hundred laps around the school grounds!

Perfectly inheriting the tradition of Tiance Mansion's big fist, Lin Xuan looked at the soldiers outside with a smile, thinking that they would be able to be honest after being beaten to a few percent faint.

He is now the leader of Tiance, everything he says is right, that's it, nothing wrong with it.

The corner of his mouth twitched, looking at the high-minded apprentice, Xie Qiong waved it, saying that he would let him figure it out.

These will be his own soldiers in the future, and he will be the one who feels distressed after being beaten hard. The brat doesn't know how to restrain himself at this time, and he will feel a headache when he is scolded later.

Without getting too close, Xie Qiong watched Lin Xuan go up to talk to the soldiers during the training break. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Xie Yang who brought A-Gump over, and then directly called him to He Nian.

"General, Tiance's soldiers have already seen Ah Xuan?" Looking at Lin Xuan standing among a group of soldiers while pinching his chin, Xie Yang squinted his eyes, and then resolutely stood beside Xie Qiong, ready to watch the play.

If he had known that he would not have gone to A-Gump, Lin Xuan must have had an interesting expression when he saw those soldiers and horses returning to the Xie family's army. Unfortunately, he didn't see it just now.

He is watching the soldiers of Tiantian Ce, waiting for the boy to come back. He wants to get back the interest. After all, he has so many things to do on weekdays, so he spares time every day to watch the recruits and prevent them from quarreling and causing trouble. It's exhausting messing around with recruits from other battalions!

Nodding towards A-Gump, Xie Qiong paused, and then asked, "A-Gump, do you have any medicine on you?"

Looking worriedly at Lin Xuan who was not far away, A-Gump's whole demeanor had changed after putting on his armor, but the coldness on his appearance was completely dispelled as soon as he opened his mouth.

Shaking his head in a daze, A-Gump who had just put the salute back had nothing on him except the leather armor.

"If that's the case, then go outside and invite Dr. Sun over." Saying this, seeing A-Gump's worried eyes, Xie Qiong added, "It's for the soldiers next to Lin Xuan. Worry."

With a sigh of relief, A-Gump received the order, and then quickly went outside to find Dr. Sun.

To be honest, he was also taken aback when he saw that the weapons among the familiar people had all been replaced. Fortunately, General Xie deliberately picked this year's recruits to stay. If not, their father might be angry Straight home.

Lin Xuan was in a good mood and moved among the soldiers who were resting. None of the recruits this year knew him. Although they might not all be younger than him, in terms of seniority, he could beat them all.

After using his eloquence, he immediately got into a fight with a few sweaty youths around him. He felt that this newcomer looked pleasing to the eye, and the surrounding soldiers also turned their attention away.

"I heard that the recruits who joined the army with us today can practice against the veterans. Those of us who have been singled out are just gesticulating here with a broken stick. I don't know when that invisible general Show up." After wiping off his sweat, the strongest soldier began to complain once a day.

Which one of them is not better than those who went to another training ground? Why are they still training with wooden guns here when they already have spears?

What are you talking about waiting for their general to come back? The ghost knows when their general will come back. It's been a few months and nothing has happened. Don't want to waste them here.

As soon as Big Brother spoke, a group of echoing voices appeared beside him. They really had waited too long.

Lin Xuan, who was a little embarrassed, listened to the complaints of these recruits, and suddenly felt sorry for them. It seemed that he had indeed stayed at home for a long time.

If he had known that he would not have gone to Jinling, he would have come directly from Yangzhou to Pujin Pass, saving so many days in Jinling City, and he could have arrived at the barracks a month earlier.

Lin Xuan didn't speak, and the people beside him didn't pay attention. Anyway, he was a new recruit who was younger than them. Even if he heard them talking, he didn't know what they were talking about.

After a few days of training together, we got to know each other well, and then we condemned their General Lin Xuanlin who had never shown his face.

"What do you mean that our general's military training method is different from other people's? Isn't military training all the same training method? The two generals Xie can practice. Why can't we follow them to fight with real swords and guns?"

"I heard that General Lin's horse is a peerless and rare horse. It is no problem for one person to pick ten of them on the battlefield. Could it be that he wants to train us all to be heroes like him?"

"Where do you think you're going? Did the generals compare to our little soldiers?"

"I heard that General Lin's horse is six feet high, and the saddles on his body are made of gold. When the barbarian comes, the general's horse can blow the barbarian a long distance."

——Hehe, why didn't he know that Feisha in their family still had such abilities?

"What nonsense, our general is a human being, not a monster. Instead of thinking about what he looks like and whether he has a beard that reaches his knees, we should think about how we will be trained when he comes."

——Long beards that reach to the knees, you can really imagine.

"That's true, besides, why is military training not training? Can he produce a flower just by training?" A young man next to him answered, then turned to look at Lin Xuan, "Brother, let's You have been in the barracks for so long, why did you come here?"

"Then why are some things delayed at home?"

"That's it, you can still come in after a delay, brother, it seems that you are not an ordinary person." After sighing, the young man moved his neck and continued, "General Xie has beaten out all the savages outside in the past two years, and the family is safe and sound. So my parents asked us to come out and join the army, hoping that one day we can beat out the barbarians, you don't look very old, why did your family let you join the army?"

Lin Xuan twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking that it was too late to say that he was not a recruit.

I finally know what it feels like when their general tried to interrupt him just now but failed.

Before he could open his mouth, the young man next to him didn't expect to hear the answer, and then he said to himself, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you are young, the Ma boy in our camp is younger than you, but because he is the only one left in the family , so I can only come here to ask for a meal."

"I"

"The same is true of Xiao Zhong, who is not far away from General Han. He is only 15 years old this year, but he only wants to serve the country, so he came to the barracks without telling his family. Later, if his family hadn't found him, General Han really thought he was with the country. You are the same as Ma boy, brother, you are not the same as Xiao Zhong, are you?"

"that"

"Brother, my name is Wu Jun, what's your name?"

""

Looking up at the big brother Wu Jun who was blinking and looking at him, Lin Xuan was silent for a while, then took the wooden training tool beside him and weighed it a few times, showing a smile that he thought was very kind.

"I'm Lin Xuan."

???

!!!

Brother, you can eat things but not talk nonsense!

My bad ears make you say what you just said again!
