Chapter 346 The Heroic General in the Army

Chapter 346 The Heroic General in the Army

Weizhou Daying is located near the water. Nowadays, the ice and snow on the river have gradually melted, and the flood season is approaching. Although the river water is still cold, it has also moistened both sides of the river and cast a light green color.

At present, tens of thousands of people from various states have gathered in this camp. The camps are connected end to end, occupying more than ten miles of river beach on both sides of the Wei River.

Although only a small part of the tens of thousands of soldiers are truly elite soldiers, and most of the others are temporarily assembled state, county, and township regiments, powerful tribes, and vassals of various ethnic groups, but so many people gathered. Even so, the whole camp was still filled with a chilling atmosphere, and even the birds in the sky did not dare to hover in the sky above the camp.

It was only after Li Tai came to this world that he discovered that the camps where people gathered in ancient times were quite different from what he imagined in later generations.

When many people think of military camps, they generally think that they must be prohibitive, dull and depressing. The soldiers sharpen their swords all day long and wait for the day to come. Other than that, they have no personal life or entertainment activities.

But in fact, this is wrong. These soldiers are also human beings, and they also have various normal life needs, either physical or psychological. Once they are not satisfied for a long time, it will have a negative impact on morale, and even There will be big trouble.

In essence, a military camp is a living area with military purposes, like a city with somewhat rudimentary facilities and functions. The soldiers are not allowed to give orders or leave their respective camps without permission. However, in the absence of special combat missions, life and entertainment in the camp are relatively casual, and there are not many unreasonable rules.

The Chinese army camp where Li Tai stayed, in addition to using tents instead of various houses made of wood and stone, the layout and functions were similar to those of a state city, with living areas, office areas and even entertainment areas divided into them.

Of course, the so-called entertainment area mainly refers to the school grounds where various military competitions are held, rather than a place for indulging in fun and debauchery.

After Li Tai obtained Dugu Xin's understanding through some explanations, he stayed in the camp for one night, which greatly relieved the fatigue from the journey. By the second day, he couldn't sit still. He was still thinking about what Dugu Xin said yesterday, and wanted to find a few talents in the camp to recruit him.

This kind of gathering of armies will undoubtedly bring together the outstanding military talents from various states and counties, making it easier to tap them.

Li Tai has also experienced occasions on a larger scale than this, such as the Grand Parade in recent years. But in such an occasion, he was far behind in terms of qualifications and position, and he had no chance to go deep into the camp to recruit talents. Even if outstanding talents emerged, they would be cut off by Yu Wentai and other old guys.

With this in mind, after having breakfast, Li Tai went to inspect the camps. Before he could leave, he heard bursts of cheers coming from the school grounds in the northeast corner of the camp, so he Move and look.

There are two straight and flat horses on the school grounds, which can be used by two teams of knights to practice their skills together, and by the way, they can compare their riding and shooting skills. At this time, there were two teams competing on the school field.

Cavalry and archery are quite advanced skills in the military. Anyone who can master both can be well-deserved to be called an elite warrior, and are highly envied and respected in the military. So when a sergeant wanted to go on stage to compare this skill, he immediately attracted many people to watch, surrounding the small school grounds.

There were six people in each of the two teams. Although the number was not large, each of them looked strong and impressive, making people dare not underestimate them.

When they got on their horses and started galloping around the horse, and drew their bows to shoot at the targets on the left and right sides of the horse road, their movements were clean and neat, and they all showed their excellent shooting skills, which attracted the surrounding spectators to applaud and cheer and compete. So good.

Li Tai was attracted by the shouts. At this time, the competition between the two sides has reached the second half, but their respective states have not declined significantly. Even the worst one can maintain the level of ten arrows and six, which shows that training is definitely on weekdays. Yoususu made him very interested in both sides of the competition.

"Who are the two parties in this comparison? Why are they fighting?"

He patted a soldier next to him who was still applauding and applauded, and asked with a smile.

The soldier was disturbed from watching the show, so he felt unhappy. He frowned and was about to get angry. But when he turned around and saw Li Tai and all the soldiers around him, he quickly calmed down the anger on his face, crossed his hands and bowed and said : "General, this battle is between the county soldiers of Wushan garrison and the troops of Dongqinzhou on the other. There seems to be a conflict in the choice of camps between them, so they have to come to the school field to determine the outcome."

Wushan garrison is a garrison in Weizhou. Li Tai was a little surprised when he heard this: "Longyouguo has really strong soldiers and horses, and the people's customs are fierce. The local songs in just a few counties are so skilled in bows and horses!"

When the soldier heard Li Tai's compliment, his face suddenly showed an expression of pride, but he still shook his head and explained: "The Wushan garrison is not a soldier that originally existed in the territory. They just came from Guanzhong a few years ago." The garrison leader is named Shi Jing, and he is a very brave warrior..."

When Li Tai heard the soldier's answer, he felt as if he was from another world. He didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance in the Longyou Weizhou camp.

Naturally, he will not forget Shi Jing. This guy is also unlucky because the other tribes in Shangyuan Township offended Li Tai, and he was implicated as a result. Cui Quan of Ren Jing Zhaoyin was sent to the Longxi frontier garrison.

On the contrary, after the Shi brothers from Shangyuan Township completely bowed to Li Tai, Li Tai did not take further revenge. The family also joined the Shangyuan Canal League, and although their life was not very rich, But it’s also quite moisturizing.

Li Tai sighed in his heart while continuing to enjoy the competition on the field. Although Shi Jing's official career was not satisfactory, the performance of his colleagues was still remarkable. It can be seen that he did not let down because of this. He still maintained a very high level of training and could go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds at any time.

Seeing this scene, Li Tai was also quite pleased. Not to mention Shi Jing's achievements, he also hoped that his son Shi Wansui would be able to shine without any accident in the future.

Shi Jinggong and his teammates performed well, and the Dongqinzhou people who competed with them were also good. The first battle between the two sides was even deadlocked. After taking a rest, they were ready to start the second battle. .

When Li Tai saw that the man leading the team from Dong Qinzhou was also tall and heroic, and looked even braver than Shi Wansui's father, he was naturally very curious. Nowadays, he has met most of the famous generals in the Western Wei Dynasty, but he does not know this person, so he can't help but inquire about them from the onlookers.

However, most of the people watching nearby were soldiers from this place, and they didn't know much about the personnel of East Qinzhou. Although they felt that the man was very brave, they didn't know his identity and origin.

The second test in the field also ended quickly. In the end, the East Qinzhou people won with the advantage of several arrows. The Weizhou soldiers outside the field sighed when they saw Shi Jing and his party defeated, but the performance of the East Qinzhou troops was obvious to all, and they could only be said to be a little unlucky.

After losing the competition, Shi Jinggong and his subordinates were all dejected. They were about to end in shame, but they were stopped by the opponent's team leader. The expressions of Shi Jing and others suddenly became a little unkind. They only said that the opponent was not satisfied with winning the competition and wanted to be even more humiliated. However, they did not expect that the opponent's leader just pulled Shi Jing and explained to him for a long time the reasons for the success and failure of his troops' skills. .

Li Tai stood outside the field, watching the Dongqinzhou soldier commander's long speech and succinct analysis. He felt interesting in his heart, so he stood at the entrance of the school ground, waiting to say hello to Shi Jing, an old friend, and get to know him by the way. The commander of the army of East Qinzhou.

Shi Jing patiently listened to the other party's analysis and narration on the court, and finally waited until the other party finished speaking and shut up. Although the other party did not mean to humiliate him, it still made him feel very uncomfortable, so he hurriedly handed over and left, refusing to talk anymore. Continue to stay.

But when he led the troops to the exit of the school ground, he looked up and saw Li Tai looking at him with a smile under the guard of the soldiers. His face suddenly changed suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to shrink back and stiffen his body. After a while, he threw the reins of his mount to his subordinate, stepped forward bravely, and said respectfully to Litai from a distance, crossing his arms: "I've seen you, your Majesty!"

"General Shi, it's been a long time. Although we met back then, we didn't have time to say goodbye. Now that we meet again in Longyou, the general's style remains unchanged."

Li Tai raised his finger and pointed at Shi Jing and said with a smile. Seeing the other person's cautious and anxious look when facing him, he felt quite happy in his heart.

Shi Jing smiled bitterly after hearing the words, and quickly lowered his head and said: "I have praised you so much. I have been guarding this side for many years. I have not seen any achievements. It is just a waste of time. I have become more and more famous, and I have many achievements." After hearing this, I was really filled with admiration, and even more ashamed of being offended by my ignorance in the past..."

Li Tai was still waiting to say goodbye to Shi Jing, but the commander of the Dongqinzhou Army on the school grounds also strode towards him. Looking at Li Tai from a distance, he clasped his fists and said, "Such a stunning and refined style, it is undoubtedly Commander Li." ! During the Baishui Parade last year, Beizhi was lucky enough to watch Governor Li enter the battle and capture Duke Zhongshan, which greatly inspired the young people in the country. Beizhi was also among them, and he admired Governor Li very much! "

Li Tai felt happy again after hearing this. He just felt that the slap he gave Zhao Gui on the face last year was really worth it. Even now, people often talk about it in front of him and he has many fans.

Before he could reply, the man hurriedly said: "Liang Shiyan, who has a humble position and is now the commander-in-chief of the army under the jurisdiction of Dongqin Prefecture, went to Long to gather and be ready. Unexpectedly, he met Commander-in-Chief Li here, and he was overjoyed. I apologize for my rashness, Governor Li! After I got to see the Governor's style last year, I originally intended to visit him after the parade. Unexpectedly, Beizhou was forced to leave early to go to the rescue. I have always regretted my humble position. …”
