The soldiers in the military camp continued to train, which aroused Lai Hu'er's great interest. He had long heard that Zhang Xuan used the most severe means to train the army. Twenty days passed in a flash, and he also wanted to see how the training was effective.●⌒,

On the school ground, nine hundred soldiers were divided into three groups, and two groups were training the spear formation. This was the most powerful formation of infantry. Using collective strength to fight fiercely with the opponent is invincible. Even if the opponent is a cavalry, they can still compete.

The third group was training sword techniques, which was the sword technique taught by Zhang Xuan in the morning. He came to Hu'er to find that the sword techniques of the army were different from those commonly promoted in the army. They seemed to be more concise, effective, and more lethal.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "This is a set of sword techniques created by Beizhi. It is simple and effective when it comes to complexity. It is very suitable for practical combat."

Lai Hu'er didn't know that this was Zhang Xuan who brought the training methods of later special forces, including actual combat skills and sword skills, to the soldiers without reservation.

Although the soldiers are not strong enough and cannot be compared with the general, the level of individual combat is greatly improved, and they can basically achieve one-to-three.

"kill!"

A burst of thunder-like shouts erupted on the school ground, full of murderous aura. The six hundred spearmen were all strong and powerful, and their movements were uniform, which made Lai Huer secretly admire him. He was a person with vision. From his training level and mental outlook, he could see that this was an elite army.

He turned around and asked Zhang Xuan with a smile, "Do you still have to run every day?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "The training intensity every day has increased to 80 miles, and sometimes it will increase to 100 miles."

"No wonder these soldiers are all black and thin!"

At this time, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Disband and return to the camp!"

His order was issued, and the soldiers disbanded one after another and rushed towards their respective camps, making Lai Huer a little puzzled. What is this?

At this time, Zhang Xuan walked to the front of Ling Gu, picked up the drumstick and hit it hard, dong!dong!dong!dong!

All the soldiers rushed from all directions. At an extremely rapid speed, Zhang Xuan had gathered for thirty drums, and all the soldiers had already assembled and stood in a large array. They were neatly straight, like a line drawn with an ink doll. They were all full of energy and majestic, and Hu'er was stunned.

He knew that Zhang Xutuo's army could be assembled within fifty drums. But Zhang Xuan's one thousand troops were assembled within thirty drums, and it was so neat.

Lai Hu'er was moved. He knew that this army was all from bandits and a group of mobs. However, after 20 days of intensive training, Zhang Xuan was reborn. It is a miracle.

It is said that Yuwen Shu disdains this army because of Zhang Xuan. He doesn't want such an excellent army, so how could he miss this opportunity?

Lai Huer nodded and smiled, "Let's go and have a talk!"

Zhang Xuan waved the red flag, and the team immediately dispersed and began to continue training the spear formation and sword training. Zhang Xuan brought Hu'er into his tent.

When he came to Hu'er, he saw that Zhang Xuan's big tent was very simple. Except for a box, there was no difference between him and ordinary soldiers. He couldn't help but nodded secretly. He had long heard that Zhang Xuan and the soldiers ate coarse vegetables and brown rice, and slept with shabby blankets. It didn't look exaggerated at all. This was the style of a famous general in ancient times. No wonder the emperor valued him very much.

Zhang Xuan invited Hu'er to sit down. He asked the soldiers to serve tea again. Then Hu'er said slowly: "The day before yesterday morning, the emperor summoned me and formally appointed me as the commander of the former army to attack Goguryeo in advance. However, my subordinates were insufficient, so I asked to transfer 20,000 Xiaoguo Army to supplement the situation. The emperor also agreed."

Lai Hu'er handed a book of books to Zhang Xuan with a smile, "This is the final decision of the Ministry of War, you can take a look at it yourself!"

Zhang Xuan took over the roster, which were the numbers of each Xiaoguo Army Mansion. For example, the Fourth Mansion 1 Battalion, the Sixth Mansion 3 Battalion, etc. There was no rule, and it seemed to be randomly drawn, but all numbers were in the first fifteen Mansions.

Zhang Xuan also understood this reason. The first fifteen mansions are mainly veterans and have strong combat power. The next fifteen mansions were made up of temporarily. They were only established for a few months. Most of the soldiers were captured bandits, and their combat power was very low.

Zhang Xuan found his number in the last line: the third camp of the 27th Mansion, and the general Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan was puzzled. The rest were before the fifteenth palace, but he was behind the fifteenth palace. This was just a coincidence of the Ministry of War. Or should I come to Hu'er to call him specifically?

He looked at Lai Hu'er in confusion. Lai Hu'er understood Zhang Xuan's thoughts and smiled faintly: "It's true that I called you. If you don't want to, I can return you."

Although Zhang Xuan didn't understand Lai Hu'er's intention, he knew one thing very well. If he stayed under Yuwen Shu's hands, he would undoubtedly die.

"Of course I do!"

Zhang Xuan almost did not hesitate and had a very clear attitude. How could he not want to live in the intrigue military mansion? He was already very annoyed.

Besides, General Xiaoguo was Yuwen Shu, who was pressing on his head like a mountain. He offended Maxunwu, the chief minister. If he hadn't come to Hu'er to arrive in time today, he wouldn't know what he would have encountered?

How could he not be willing to lead his army out of this military palace now?

Lai Hu'er smiled and took out a box of Zhu Ni and said, "If you want, press the handprints below! I will all draw you and your brothers in the third battalion."

Zhang Xuan dipped his index finger in red clay and pressed his handprint on the list.

Lai Hu'er collected the roster and then smiled slightly and explained to Zhang Xuan: "There are two main reasons why I want you to name it. One is Zhang Xutuo's favor. You helped Zhang Xutuo at a critical moment. As his close friend, of course I will also repay you and help General Zhang appropriately."

"Did the general come and know that Yuwen Shu will cause trouble for me?"

"I knew it in Lu's Mansion. Yuwen Shu had a strong desire to hold grudges. He would never let General Zhang go. I heard that Sima Deheng was transferred, so I knew he was going to attack you soon."

Zhang Xuan sighed softly, "Come to help the general in time, Zhang Xuan is very grateful!"

"You don't have to be too grateful. Actually, I have another personal matter to ask General Zhang for help."

"General, please say that as long as Zhang Xuan can do it, I will never refuse!"

"That's it!"

Lai Hu'er smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "General Zhang gave General Yu five purple insect jade pupae. In fact, I also face the same problem as General Yu. I am embarrassed to speak in Lu's Mansion. I don't know if General Zhang can."

Zhang Xuan laughed. It turned out to be this little thing. He immediately got up and took out a crystal bottle from the box and handed it to Lai Huer. "These are five purple insects. If the general is not enough, I still have some inventory."

Lai Hu'er was overjoyed and quickly took the bottle. "General Yu said five are enough, so I should be the same. Thank you General Zhang for your fulfillment."

"I should be grateful to the general who came to Liaodong. I wonder when I will go to Liaodong for a low position?"

"It's almost the next two days. Please prepare for departure at any time."

At this time, Lai Hu'er suddenly remembered an important thing and whispered to Zhang Xuan: "This time there is a chance. If General Zhang does not want to return to the Xiaoguo Army after the Liaodong Battle, then I can apply to let General Zhang's army become an independent palace. This is what the emperor means, so that the Xiaoguo Army can strengthen its local military strength."

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Can a mansion be built with a thousand people?"

"There are big and small governments, which may not be necessary, but depends on the needs. For example, in some sparsely populated counties in the south, there are only eight or nine hundred military officials. If there are too many soldiers, local governments cannot afford it. However, I have to make it clear that even if the government is established, General Zhang's official position will not change, and the general is still a general of Wu Yong."

Zhang Xuan didn't care about the size of his official position. He just hoped that he would not have a direct boss and not be angry with that splint. More importantly, he could use this opportunity to clean up those subordinates who were not loyal to him.

Zhang Xuan immediately bowed and said, "The General can let me build a mansion independently, Zhang Xuan thanks first."

Lai Hu'er smiled, "You're welcome, it's just a trivial matter!"

Although he said it lightly, Lai Hu'er was secretly happy. Fortunately, he arrived at the military camp in time today, otherwise he would have missed the elite army. Yuwen Shu didn't take this army seriously, which would definitely be a big loss for him.

The next night, Zhang Xuan had a large tent. All officers above the team were summoned to discuss the matter. This was one of the largest tents in the army, usually used to store grain or weapons and materials, but this tent was specially used by Zhang Xuan to hold meetings. It covers an area of ​​half acre, and there was no facilities in the tent, and everyone sat on the ground.

In the big tent, everyone was whispering, discussing tomorrow's training. Zhang Xuan basically summoned officers to discuss the matter every few days, so no one thought that today's discussion would be different.

At this time, a soldier outside the tent shouted loudly, and Zhang Xuan walked in from outside the tent, and everyone stood up, with uniform movements.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and all the officers sat down again. Zhang Xuan's seat was in the innermost place, close to the big tent, the terrain was slightly higher than everyone else, and the big tent was silent. All the officers were watching Zhang Xuan. I wonder what new things would be announced if the general summoned everyone tonight?

"I have an important thing to announce to everyone tonight!"

Zhang Xuan looked at everyone with sharp eyes and said slowly: "Just this afternoon, I received an emergency order from the Ministry of War, the Third Battalion of the Twenty-Seventh Army Palace, which is the vanguard army of the general who will be transferred to participate in the outpost battle against Goguryeo."

Zhang Xuan's words were like a scoop of cold water poured into a hot oil pan, and the tent exploded. Several officers shouted in anger: "General, how can we go to the current army? That's going to kill people!"

Everyone was extremely nervous, and the tent was clamoring, as if Zhang Xuan announced the situation of the officers and soldiers eating and living together on the first day.

Zhang Xuan didn't say anything and let everyone quarrel. The lieutenants were so anxious that their faces were flushed, and they firmly opposed being transferred from the Twenty-Seventh Mansion. After a while, the tent gradually became quiet.

Zhang Xuan said to everyone again: "I know someone is unwilling to go, but the Ministry of War has already been transferred. It is estimated that General Yuwen has also obtained it and cannot be changed. However, I will give you a choice. If anyone here does not want to go, he can continue to stay in the twenty-seventh palace, and the position of Ma Changshi will be re-arranged, or follow General Sima to the local military palace. This is related to your vital interests. I hope everyone will carefully consider their choice, go or stay?"

"General, are you going to make a decision now?" someone asked.

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "The army will set off tomorrow morning, just make a decision before departure tomorrow!"

Zhang Xuan knew that someone would definitely choose to stay. This time, unlike the last time when the officers and soldiers ate together, and although there were many opponents, they were only affected by their appetites and could not bear it.

But this time it will involve the vital interests of many people. More importantly, everyone knows that the front army who came to Hu'er will be the front-line battlefield. Although the treatment is generous, no one here is willing to die.

Moreover, Sima Deheng and Maxunwu may not agree to leave their confidants.

However, for Zhang Xuan, this was a great opportunity to cleanse dissidents. Lai Hu'er promised him that all the officers were short of were recommended and appointed. Zhang Xuan was also looking forward to the departure of the dissatisfied people.

In the morning, the answer was finally revealed. A total of eight officers were unwilling to follow Zhang Xuan, including three lieutenants, four brigade commanders and one team leader. Only the new logistics regiment lieutenant Shen Zhengxuan was willing to follow Zhang Xuan to the front army.
