September 14th, the autumn air is crisp and clear.

On the campus east of Nan Daying, two thousand people stood in silence.

These people are the elite of the Beijing army selected by Gu Liang from among 50,000 people. Most of them have been to the border battles and have killed people and seen blood. They are called elite soldiers in hundreds of battles. According to Pei Yue's standards, they were

The selected person must have served in the army for at least five years, be willing to fight and be good at fighting, and more importantly, be loyal and obedient. We do not want anyone with a arrogant personality.

In fact, it is not easy to gather this group of people.

Two thousand people came from the four armies of the South Camp, and each one was the favorite of their respective commanders. If it weren't for the emperor's decree, Zuo Junji personally issued the military order, and Gu Liang fully supported it, even if the commanders of the guards wanted to send their subordinates

It is also a difficult thing to redeploy all the key personnel from each department.

There is no doubt about the importance of veterans of hundreds of battles in the army, not to mention that there are more than 200 sentry officers among these 2,000 people.

Therefore, the two thousand people on campus account for almost half of the Nanying elite.

In other words, if there was such a terrifying and powerful unit in the Beijing camp, perhaps Wang Pingzhang would not be distressed at all, and there would be no need for Pei Yue to propose this plan, and he could just send this unit into the mountains to suppress the bandits.

On the general stage, Gu Liang pointed to the young general standing next to him and said to Pei Yue: "His name is Li Jin, and he is currently the commander of the Yanshan Guards of the infantry. I will leave these two thousand people in his hands, and he will take charge of them when the time comes."

Lead the troops into the mountains to suppress the bandits."

Pei Yue stepped forward to greet him. Li Jin was tall and had a calm face. His emotions and anger were not expressive, and he was not as outgoing as Wei Xiao.

Li Jin returned the military salute and did not look down upon him just because he was in front of a young man. Instead, he said sincerely: "Master Pei, the commander-in-chief told me that until the thief is found, everything will be at your discretion. I would like to ask for your instructions on how to train the troops next."

Pei Yue was slightly surprised and looked at Gu Liang with questioning eyes: Is this an honest person?

It's not that he was trying to cause trouble. The commander was already a high-ranking military attache in the Daliang Army. The next higher up was the commander of the first battalion such as Gu Liang and Qu Jiang. It can be said that he has a bright future. Li Jin looked at thirty years old

At his early age, it is very likely that at his age he will enter the decision-making level of the military in Dalian in the future. If he wants to treat Corporal Pei Yue politely, then just have a warm attitude, but now it is a bit hypocritical to say so.

After all, the word "shixia" is generally an honorific used by subordinates to their superiors.

Gu Liang smiled slightly and said to Li Jin: "In this temporary team, you are the leader and Brother Yue is the assistant. Although he is smart and intelligent, he has never experienced a battle, so the command is in your hands. But he

A young man is mature and knows how to find bandits. You cannot treat him like a child. You need to listen to some useful opinions."

Li Jin said with a serious smile: "I will obey the commander's instructions."

Gu Liang looked at Pei Yue and said, "Brother Yue, come here."

The two of them walked to the corner of the general platform, and Gu Liang whispered: "Yesterday, Zuojunji informed the entire army that the Beijing camp would enter the mountain to suppress the bandits on the eighth day of October, but he also ordered someone to pass a secret order to me. You need to

Enter the mountain early in the morning on the fifth day of October."

Pei Yue understood and said: "Uncle, I understand. Although the twenty days are a bit tight, these sharp soldiers under your command are very capable. I believe they can complete the task."

Gu Liang smiled and said: "Li Jin is not a noble son. He has followed me to fight with the Zhou people on the border more than ten years ago, and he has risen through the ranks step by step with military merit. Although he looks like an honest man, on the battlefield

He is very capable. After you find the bandit, you can leave it to him. Remember, you are just leading the way this time, I will not allow you to go into battle yourself, do you understand?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Remember it."

Gu Liang asked: "Is there any trouble that you would like uncle to help solve?"

Pei Yue said: "I'm about to go find my uncle. My nephew really needs something."

"you say."

"Some things that can help these soldiers hide better, but the quantity is a bit large, two thousand sets are needed."

Gu Liang's expression remained as usual, and he just asked: "It doesn't hurt to have more, what exactly is it?"

Pei Yue said eloquently.

After hearing this, Gu Liang's eyes were strange and he laughed and said, "Why do you have so many fantastic ideas? Mr. Xi probably didn't teach you this, right?"

Pei Yue quickly said seriously: "My nephew accidentally saw this from an ancient book, and it just so happens that it can be used this time."

Fortunately, he already had experience communicating with Shen Danmo before, but Pei Yue always blamed it on ancient books for anything that was difficult to explain.

As for which ancient book?

Sorry, I forgot the name.

Gu Liang looked at him with curious eyes, shook his head and said with a smile: "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. That's fine. I will personally send people to prepare the things, and I will buy them from different stores in the city. You

Don’t worry about the news leaking.”

Pei Yue was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, uncle."

Gu Liang reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are doing something for me, why do you need to say thank you?"

Pei Yue looked around and asked with some confusion: "Uncle, why haven't you seen your brother in the past two days?"

Gu Fan has not appeared since he returned from attending the military meeting in Chenguan Town. Pei Yue was thinking about the "special forces" and had no time to be distracted. When he saw Gu Liang at this moment, he couldn't help but ask.

Gu Liang said: "He has a wild temper. He wants to fight with others all day long in the camp, and often makes a lot of noise. So I sent him to the south to find your man with my soldiers.

Little maid."

Pei Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said movedly: "My nephew deserves it."

Gu Liang sighed softly: "Silly boy, what do you feel guilty about? If you call him brother, he should help. What's more, you will also go into the mountains to take risks. Isn't this for me and Nanying? Let's work now

We are a family, don’t think too much about it.”

"Yes." Pei Yue stopped thinking.

Gu Liang continued: "I'll leave this to you. Li Jin is very smart and won't bully you when you are young, but I will leave you two personal soldiers. If you encounter trouble, you can send someone to me."

"My nephew understands, uncle, walk slowly."

After Gu Liang left, the two thousand sharp soldiers in the audience still stood upright without any commotion.

Pei Yue looked at this scene and was greatly shocked. In his understanding, a team with such strict military discipline must have strong combat effectiveness.

Li Jin came to him and said, "Mr. Pei."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Commander Li, please don't offend me. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Yue."

Li Jin nodded and said: "Well, Brother Yue, don't call me official anymore. Just call me Brother Li. Now that the person has been selected, how to train next, Brother Yue needs to give you a regulation."

Pei Yue was not polite and said straight to the point: "Brother Li, what I mean is to divide these two thousand people into twenty sentries and set up twenty sentry officers. There is no need to set up a capital as usual."

Li Jin pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and approved the suggestion, and then asked: "How to practice this method of sneaking and hiding in the mountains?"

Pei Yue smiled slightly, pointed to the mountain behind the camp and said: "There is a flag on the top of the mountain. Let the twenty soldiers enter the mountain. Each of them will be given three days of dry food and water. Which one can escape the light and dark sentries arranged by the commander?

When you reach the top of the mountain and pull down the flag, each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and the others will be punished."

Li Jin was silent for a moment and said, "This is a good idea."
