Today, in the autumn wind, a sick man in Hexiang.

The force is weak and the staff rises, and who is the heart with?

——Excerpt from "Sickness" Chen Shidao [Song Dynasty]

...

On this day, Bai Fu came to the Zuo Qianniu Guard Camp on duty. He said he was on duty, but he actually had nothing to do. The soldiers of Zuo Qianniu Guard's daily affairs only reported to Li Ji, the Duke of Chu, the General Secretary of the Zuo Qianniu Guard.

Bai Fu did not care at all. He spread the maps of the imperial city and the palace city on the table and studied it with relish.

"Those who do not know the terrain are not enough to talk about soldiers." Master Zhongsi's earnest teachings are still in his ears.

Just as Bai Fu was concentrating, there was a noise outside the house.

A young general rushed into the room in a hurry. The man's lips and white teeth were red, his face was handsome, wearing a lotus leaf helmet, and a chain mail. He stood in the hall with a handsome appearance.

Bai Fu secretly praised: "A good tiger general."

The young general entered the house, gave a military salute, and introduced himself: "In the lower statue of Li, he is the right Qianniu Guard. See General Bai."

"General Li, please sit down." Bai Fu signaled Li Si to sit down and ordered someone to serve herbal tea for the heat relief.

Li Xiang was not polite, and drank the herbal tea in one go, his eyes were bright, and he stared at Bai Fu and asked, "I'm really disappointed with General Bai?"

"Oh, what do you mean?" Bai Fu took a sip of tea, his expression still remained.

"I heard that General Bai trained troops in Shaanxi Province and trained over Wanxiang to become an elite Tang army in just a few months.

I thought General Bai was in charge of the Zuo Qianniu Guard and would train Qianniu Guard into the absolute elite among the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya. Even if he fought against the six armies of the Northern Ya, he would not be at a disadvantage and would regain the glory of Qianniu Guard." Li Xiang said resentful.

"Oh, why did General Li have such inappropriate expectations?" Bai Fu smiled slightly.

Li Xiang said proudly: "Because the Qianniu Guards' goal since the beginning of their army was to become the elite among the elite and the leader among the imperial guards in the north and south yamen!

Most of the soldiers of Qianniu Guards received guidance from famous teachers since childhood. After entering the imperial guards, they were screened layer by layer before they could be selected into Qianniu Guards. Not to mention choosing one in a hundred, it is not an exaggeration to choose one in a thousand.

Judging from General Bai's tone, he seems to look down on our Qianniuwei?"

Bai Fu put down the teacup, his eyes unyielding, and said, "General Li, let me ask you, it's also a tiger. Do you think the domesticated tiger that jumps into the fire circle of the opera troupe is powerful, or the tiger that roars in the jungle of the mountain forest is powerful?"

Li Xiangdun felt insulted, so he jumped up like a hairy hedgehog. He waved his fists and shouted to Bai Fu: "Although we have a good family background, it does not mean that we are a group of embroidered pillows? How dare you insult us like this? If I spread your words, do you know the consequences?"

Bai Fu's lips curled up slightly and asked, "Don't believe it? General Li is willing to compete?"

"Just compare, how do you compare the method?" Li Xiang said angrily.

Bai Fu pointed to the teenager who was serving tea and water by his side and said, "This is the village hero I recruited in Shanzhou. Do you dare to compete?"

Li Xiang thought he was going to compete with Bai Fu, but he didn't expect to fight with Bai Fu's personal soldiers. He was furious and said, "Just compete, change me two wooden swords, so that I can't help but hurt this little baby!"

"No need to change the sword. If General Li can hurt me, it's just that Mo General is not good at learning skills!" Bai Fu's personal soldiers bowed and clasped his fists.

Bai Fu smiled slightly, not saying anything.

"What a arrogant boy!"

Li Xiang was furious and walked into the yard with three strodes, drew her sword and shouted: "Please!"

Bai Fu's personal soldiers were the son of Yue Huzhu, a slingshot young man Yue Suigong recruited in the valley of Shanzhou.

Yue Suigong tied his sword and showed off his starting posture, saying, "Please, General Li!"

The Li statue rose into the sky, with a long sword dancing out several sword flowers, and the sword flowed through the flowing water, with elegant and elegant movements.

Yue Sui Gongren is as famous as his name, his body is like a bow, and he uses stillness to control his movements. The tip of the sword trembles slightly, looking for the flaws of Li Si.

"Be careful!"

Li flew like a big bird, and his sword pierced Yue Sui's bow-face door. The tip of the sword was less than three feet away from his nose.

Yue Suigong swept across his right leg, and his toes shoveled up a piece of sand and soil, and rushed straight into Li Yuan's eyes.

Li's eyes were confused by sand and dust, and his eyelids were closed involuntarily. He opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, and spit out the sand and soil that fell into his mouth.

At this moment, Yue Sui's bow moved like a rabbit, and finally drew his sword. His movements were simple and neat, just one word "Quick!"

Before Li Xiang opened his eyes, he felt a flash of sword light, and his opponent's long sword stabbed his chest, breaking through two layers of armor.

Li Xiang was shocked!

The opponent used only one move to break his famous sword move "Sunset and Flowing Clouds".

You should know that the Liuyun Sword Technique is an unknown secret of Zhongnan Mountain Cangjian. With this move "Sunset and Flowing Clouds", Li Xiang defeated more than a dozen masters in Zuo Qianniu's army.

Li Xiang was dissatisfied and scolded: "What kind of rogue move is this?"

Bai Fu sneered and said, "On the battlefield, there is no distinction between noble and humble moves. A sword technique that can kill people is a good sword technique."

Li Zun said angrily: "The general will not accept it and ask for another fight!"

"Okay, follow the bow, you will accompany General Li for two more moves." Bai Fudandan said.

"No!" Yue Suigong responded with a sword holding on.

The two stood face to face again, facing each other ten steps away.

This time, Li Xiang did not act rashly. He was ready to go. When the momentum condensed to the highest point, he "knocked off the crossbow."

Li Si rushed five steps quickly, like an arrow that was always away from the string. She followed the sword, and the sword was fired at will, turning into a long rainbow, slashing Yue Sui's neck slanted.

Yue Suigong was unmoved, holding a sword in both hands, his eyes locked at Li Xiang's vital point. He did not move his upper body, and suddenly stepped on his right foot, shaped like a tiger pounce. It was the same move, but this time, with the help of the power of his waist and abdomen, he drew the sword faster.

Li Xiang felt a flash of cold light, and the strong wind hit her face, and she thought to herself: "My life is over!"

Before Li Xiang could dodge, the tip of a long sword had already pressed against his neck. The sharp sword edge pierced the skin and stabbed a drop of blood.

In contrast, Li Xiang's sword in his hand was three inches away from Yue Suigong's neck.

Just a short distance of three inches has determined life and death.

If this is a real battle, before Li Xiang's sword could cut Yue Suigong's sword, Yue Suigong's long sword had already poked Li Xiang's throat and killed him with one blow.

One move to defeat the enemy!

Li Xiang was still in shock, and he asked, "What kind of sword technique are you doing?"

Yue Suigong took a step back, withdrew his sword and returned to the sheath, and said calmly: "Sword Three".

Li Xiang was confused and continued to ask.

Yue Suigong said: "This is General Bai's own sword technique. There are seven moves in total, and this is the third move."

"Only seven moves?" Li Xiang asked in surprise.

Bai Fu smiled calmly and said, "The sword technique of killing people is more important than essence."

Li Xiang felt thoughtful. He already understood the difference between the domesticated tiger and the jungle tiger.

However, Li Xiang was still unwilling to give up. After a moment of pause, he retorted: "This only means that I am not good at studying, and it does not mean the overall level of Qianniuwei. An excellent army does not entirely depend on the level of military skills of the soldiers."

Bai Fu nodded and said, "I agree. Then what kind of army do you think is an excellent army?"

Li Xiangran said proudly: "A good army should fight bravely. From soldiers to generals, everyone is not afraid of death;

For an excellent army, generals should have high tactical qualities and command thousands of troops, just like arm-to-arms;

An excellent army should have strict military disciplines and can warmly support the people wherever they go.

After finally waiting for Li Si to complete the listing, Bai Fu looked at Yue Suigong and said, "Tell me, what is an excellent army?"

Yue Suigong replied calmly: "A army that can defeat strong enemies and continue to win battles is considered an excellent army."

Li Xiang was choked in her throat by this sentence, and she felt like an idiot just now.

Bai Fu did not comment on which of the two said makes more sense.

He said to Li Xiang: "General Li just mentioned military discipline, can he verify Qianniu Guard?"

Li Xiang said: "Want to hear about it?"

Bai Fu's expression was as usual, his tone was cold, and he said, "If you are in the Anxi Army tent now, just by roaring the filial master, I can drag you down and behead you!

And here, as the General of the Zuo Qianniu Guard, I still have to verbally debate with you which army is the number one elite among the North and South Imperial Guards.

A team without military rules and regulations is at best a green forest powerful man who occupies the mountains and forests. How can it be comparable to a blood-stained army of battles on the battlefield?”

Li Xiang's body was shocked, and she knelt down on one knee, sincerely admitted her mistake, and said, "I am eager to make contributions and offend the general's power. Please forgive me."

"Gen. Li quickly get up and say something slowly." Bai Fu's face slowly turned, and the ape stretched out his arms and gently lifted Li's statue.

Li Xiang opened her conversation and talked about his purpose here one by one.

It turns out that this Li statue is also a member of the Li Tang royal family, and is the seventh son of King Rong Li Wan.

In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), An Lushan rebelled. Xuanzong appointed King Rong Li Wan as the marshal of the expedition, and the famous general Gao Xianzhi as the deputy marshal to fight against the rebels. Soon after, Li Wan died and was awarded the title of Prince Jinggong.

Li Wan was always known for her elegant style and was elegant. At that time, all civil and military officials had great hopes for Li Wan to pacify the rebels. Li Wan suddenly died and thanked him, which disappointed everyone in the court and the country.

If Li Wan had not died, Gao Xianzhi would not have died unjustly. With Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing's ability to lead troops, it would be easy to block the rebels in Tongguan.

Li Xiang was originally both civil and military. After his father passed away, he resolutely joined the army.

However, due to his prominent status, the Ministry of War did not dare to send him to the front line to fight, so he could only leave him in the Qianniu Guard as an escort for His Majesty.

Over the years, except for the bright and beautiful stomach, the size has not been built.

There are many famous families like Li who are eager to make achievements in the Imperial Guards.

Bai Fu's fabulous record has become a legend in the military. In the Imperial Guards, many young generals worshipped Bai Fu.

When he heard that Bai Fu was transferred to Zuo Qianniu Guard as a general, Li Xiang and others were overjoyed and were willing to follow Bai Fu, transform from an imperial guard into a border army, follow his ancestors, and make great military achievements.

However, after Bai Fu arrived, there was no decisive military management action, which greatly disappointed young generals such as Li Xiang.

With the recommendation of a group of young generals, Li Xiang, as a representative, asked Bai Fu in front of him and drum in front of him.

...

Li Xiang said: "General Bai, there are many young generals among the Qianniu Guard who have my thoughts like this. Unlike the aristocratic families, we are all children of the royal family. They prosper and all the Tang Dynasty.

Now the Tang Dynasty is in dire straits and heat, and we only have the ambition to serve the country, but no one leads us. If the general does not abandon us, we are willing to follow the general, go through fire and water for the Tang Dynasty, and sacrifice our lives to serve the country!"
