With a "pop" sound, Pei Hongce's slap fell heavily on Chen Yingliang's face, leaving a red slap mark on Chen Yingliang's fair face. Then Pei Hongce, who had been treating Chen Yingliang well, suddenly changed into another person, and roared at Chen Yingliang with a ferocious expression.

, "You little beast! Why are you crazy! In half a month! You can train an elite army in half a month. Are you dreaming that you haven't woken up and are talking nonsense with a high fever?!"

Chen Yingliang knelt down in front of Pei Hongce and said respectfully: "Uncle, my nephew knows that you are doing it for my own good, but I am willing to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I will just accept the military law alone and will not be implicated."

uncle."

"Fart!" Pei Hongce, who had always been gentle and elegant, swore a curse word, grabbed Chen Yingliang, and dragged him out, "Let's go with me to see Fan Liushou, don't give up my old face, and beg him to take back his life!"

"Uncle, it's too late." Chen Yingliang replied with a wry smile: "My nephew is so bold that he has already issued a military order in front of Fan Liushou."

There was another "pop" and another slap on Chen Yingliang's face. Then Pei Hongce was no longer so angry that his face was ferocious, but he was so angry that he was shaking all over. After a long time, he kicked Chen Yingliang again and sat on the ground.

, roared crazily: "You little lunatic! Make a military order? Do you know what a military order is? Not to mention you, a small clerk, I am a Duke. If I can't make a military order, I will definitely die!"

Roaring, Pei Hongce kicked Chen Yingliang in the chest again, and roared: "I don't care! You can do whatever you want! When you die, I will send someone to collect your body, and I will repay your life-saving grace!"

Pei Hongce's beating against Chen Yingliang was much harder than when Chai Shao bullied Chen Yingliang, but Chen Yingliang really didn't have any resentment towards Pei Hongce. He just slowly got up, clasped his fists towards Pei Hongce and bent down and said: "Uncle, my nephew knows that you are true.

You feel sorry for me and really take care of me, so you beat and scold your nephew. I know you are worried about me, but my nephew is really sure that he can build an elite army within half a month, so he dares to do so.

Make a military order in front of Fan Liushou. My nephew is still saying the same thing. If my nephew cannot do it, all the blame will be borne by my nephew alone, and my uncle will never be implicated."

"I'm afraid that you will be implicated. It was you who issued the military order in front of Fan Zigai, and it was not me who issued the military order. How can it implicate me?" Pei Hongce roared: "You can only dream of training an elite army in half a month!"

"Uncle, it's not about training an elite soldier, it's about creating an elite army." Chen Yingliang replied respectfully: "To train an elite soldier in half a month is something that even gods can't do. You Wuwei, who is stationed in Luoyang,

Soldiers usually receive military training. Although the training intensity is definitely not enough and illegal, it can still be regarded as some military foundation. At least it is better than the civilian boatmen that Yang Xuangan brought here. With this foundation, my nephew can do it in half a month.

It is not difficult to build an elite army within the army. Even if this elite army is not as good as the elite soldiers brought to Liaodong by the emperor, it can definitely be regarded as an elite army in the face of Yang Xuangan's rebel team."

"Talking on paper!" Pei Hongce said coldly: "If you can make these useless people like Youwuwei into elite soldiers, I, my uncle, will kowtow to you!"

"Uncle, forgive me, but there are no absolutes in the world." Chen Yingliang said sincerely: "When my nephew was a child, his family was relatively well-off. He often read some overseas books and knew that in the Qin Kingdom thousands of miles away in the west, there was a great general named Napoleon. He once

There is a saying that a group of lions led by a sheep cannot defeat a group of sheep led by a lion. Previously, the Youwu Guards could not defeat Yang's rebel army because the leader was a sheep. Even if he led the You\u

1000

6b66 Even the lions like Wei can't beat the sheep led by the lion Yang Ni."

"What do you mean by that?" Pei Hongce was even more furious. "You mean, my entire army was wiped out at Bai Sima Ban because I was a sheep?"

"Uncle misunderstood." Chen Yingliang quickly shook his head and argued: "The sheep my nephew refers to are the generals of the Youwu Guards under my uncle's command. If one of them can lead the troops well, one of them can lead the army and dare to do so."

Those who dare to fight, how could my uncle be defeated miserably at the hands of Yang Ni? As a civil servant, it is very rare for my uncle to be able to be defeated even after his first battle and fight again and again."

"Besides," Chen Yingliang added cautiously, "I forgive my nephew for speaking out. I ask my uncle to ask himself. Compared with the rebel Yang Xuangan who was born in a general and has experienced actual combat, is it possible that my uncle is better than him in military terms?"

Pei Hongce's face was livid and he stopped talking. After a while, he yelled: "I don't care what you do, I don't care about your business!"

"Uncle, please forgive me again. My nephew must ask you for help again." Chen Yingliang said with a wry smile: "Master Fan has an order, asking you to arrange for Huya Lang's general Xie Zi to rush to General Xie to help my nephew select two regiments from his troops.

The four hundred soldiers were given to my nephew for training and command, so my nephew has no choice but to ask his uncle to continue to help."

"I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes because I recognized you as my nephew!" Pei Hongce, who came from a well-known family, may have cursed more curse words today than he has cursed in his entire life. After taking a few more breaths, Pei Hongce was helpless.

roared: "Come here, call Xie Zichong to me!"

There was no need for Pei Hongce to send someone to pass the order. Xie Zichong, the Hu Yalang general of the Youwu Guard, was actually eavesdropping on the exchange between Pei Hongce and Chen Yingliang outside the gate of the tower. He immediately walked in and saluted Pei Hongce with a malicious smile. Pei Hongce was furious.

Roaring: "Did you hear everything? If you hear it, do it and take him to choose four hundred people!"

"No." Xie Zichong agreed with a smile and waved to Chen Yingliang, asking Chen Yingliang to follow him to the city to select soldiers. But when he was about to walk out of the city tower, Pei Hongce stopped him again\u

2000

4e86 Xie Zichong said in a tone of hatred that iron cannot be made into steel: "General Xie, although my nephew is unfilial, but for my sake, help him more and let him choose as he pleases. If he doesn't understand, you will also know more."

Give him some pointers and I will remember your favor."

Pei Hongce, the Minister of Construction of the Sui Dynasty, who always had a huge amount of public funds, said this. Xie Zichong, who had made a lot of money in civil engineering projects, naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly clasped his fists and said: "Please rest assured, Sir, I will understand that I will definitely treat my subordinates

Let Brother Chen select the elite veterans, and we will never hide anything."

Pei Hongce nodded and was about to say thank you when Chen Yingliang suddenly said: "General Xie, I don't want elite veterans. Just gather the recruits who have joined the army within two years and let me choose."

"Brother Chen, do you want new recruits?" Xie Zichong opened his mouth wide for his good intentions.

Chen Yingliang nodded solemnly, but did not explain the reason - Chen Yingliang couldn't tell Xie Zichong face to face, because he didn't want the veteran Youzi who had been completely crippled by him, right? Xie Zichong continued to be tongue-tied and subconsciously turned to look at Pei Hongce, but Pei Hongce became even more furious and roared

Said: "Let him! Let him do whatever he wants! Anyway, I will only help him this time!"

Seeing that Pei Hongce was in an extremely bad mood, Xie Zichong did not dare to ask any more questions and quickly led Chen Yingliang down to the city. He took Chen Yingliang directly to the teaching workshop, one of the Dongdu garrison garrison, and then immediately sent an order to all schools, asking them to transfer

The recruits who had served for less than two years gathered at the school grounds and let Chen Yingliang choose at his will.

In fact, Chen Yingliang has no choice. The garrison currently led by Xie Zichong only has a total of more than 3,500 people. Among them, only more than 400 people meet Chen Yingliang's conditions. The two regiments have to arrange 22 grassroots officers. In addition,

The number of people together was almost the same, but Chen Yingliang didn't mind. He quickly screened out some soldiers who were too short and too thin, leaving 422 people. Chen Yingliang's first army was freshly formed.

.

The next step is the selection of officers. The two regiments must have eight team captains, eight team deputies, four brigade commanders and two junior officers. Among them, eight team captains and eight team deputies are easy to say. Chen Yingliang’s

There were a total of twenty-five captains and deputy captains in the team, but there was no brigade commander or captain. In response, Chen Yingliang made a surprising move and called the twenty-five captains and deputy captains in front of him.

He said directly: "Our team now needs two captains. Whoever is willing to be a captain should stand up and speak for himself."

The twenty-five captains and deputy captains were speechless, and Xie Zichong, the general Hu Yalang next to him, was even more speechless. He had never heard of such a thing, allowing soldiers to choose whether they were willing to be promoted? Feeling extremely ridiculous, the twenty-five captains and deputy captains were speechless.

The captains all looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.

"Why is no one talking?" Chen Yingliang said again: "Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. Don't you even have one among you who wants to be promoted to captain? I can tell you clearly now that although our team is

It was temporarily formed, but I have obtained the consent of Fan Zi, Gai Fan Liushou and Marshal Huangfu. As long as our team exists for one day, all the captains and brigade commanders in the army will enjoy the same title and treatment as the Youwu Guards, so you are not afraid

You are a temporary school captain. As long as our team is still there, you can receive the school captain's military pay and food, and wear the school captain's armor and helmet like other right-armed school captains!"

"Is this such a good thing?" The twenty-five captains and deputy captains all had their hearts beating.

"Whether it is true or not, you will know soon." Chen Yingliang said with a smile: "Okay, all captains and deputy captains, I will give you one last chance. Whoever wants to be a captain will come forward immediately. If you all

If you don’t want to be a captain, you all want to stay in the position of captain and deputy for the rest of your life. It doesn’t matter. I can ask the 397 soldiers present who wants to be a captain.”

The critical moment concerning fate and future has arrived. At this critical moment, where the slightest difference can lead to a loss of thousands of miles, Chen Yingliang is not the only one who has keen judgment and decisive decision. Before he finishes speaking, two Sui soldiers are approaching at the same time.

He took a step forward and almost said in unison: "I want to be a captain."

"Very good." Chen Yingliang nodded with satisfaction\u

2000

ff0c then casually pointed at the taller captain on the right and asked: "What's your name? Why do you want to be a captain?"

"I..., my name is Guo Feng." The team member was hesitant and replied: "I want to be a captain, because... I want to earn some money and go home to marry a wife."

"Very good." Chen Yingliang nodded again, then pointed to a young captain on the right and asked, "What's your name? Why do you want to be a captain?"

"My name is Chen Zhihong, and I also want to earn money to go home and get a wife." The tender-faced team member was a little nervous and added: "I also want my two brothers to get wives and buy a dowry for my little sister. When I become emperor,

The fields assigned to my family by the military government are not good, with frequent droughts and poor harvests. I want to earn more money."

"The reason is just and reasonable!" Chen Yingliang applauded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Guo Feng, Chen Zhihong, from now on, you will be the captain of our temporary army. Colonel Guo, Colonel Chen, congratulations on your promotion!"

After saying that, Chen Yingliang really congratulated Guo Feng and Chen Zhihong. Guo Feng and Chen Zhihong were at a loss. They couldn't believe that they had become captains so easily. They once suspected that this was not true.

Just at this moment, a Forbidden Army team came in outside the camp gate. The team was led by a civilian official. He escorted about thirty carriages and came directly to the open space in the camp. When he saw the civilian official, who was a tiger-toothed general,

Xie Zichong quickly rushed up to him, knelt down and held his hands in front of him with great respect. Then he led the civil servant to Chen Yingliang and introduced him to Chen Yingliang: "Chen Ji's Office, salute quickly.

This person is Mr. Lu Chulu, Yousilang of Shangshu, a well-known upright official and minister in Luoyang City."

Lu Chu's name, Chen Yingliang, heard from Pei Hongce and knew that this guy was in charge of the conduct of the officials in Dongdu. He was old-fashioned and upright, and was very feared by the powerful people in Dongdu. He was one of the lackeys and accomplices of the old stubborn Fan Zigai, and was also the uncle of Pei Hongce in Dongdu.

One of the few feared characters, so Chen Yingliang quickly knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists in salute, so Chen Yingliang didn't dare to neglect him, "Young man Chen Yingliang, I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Lu, Silang Lu."

"Chen..., please call Chen Ji's office." Just like in the legend, Lu Chu really stuttered when he spoke, and said very cryptically: "Fan... Fan stayed behind and ordered me to assist Chen..., Chen Ji

You are forming a new army. I have brought all the things that Chen Ji's office wants. I will supervise them... and supervise your distribution. Only..., only the military flags. It will take a while..., Fan Liushou asked.

Personally..., personally inscribed on your military flag, so I didn't bring..."

"Thank you, Lord Lu." Chen Yingliang hurriedly thanked him and said, "Master Lu came just in time. We can talk about other things later. Please ask someone to immediately take out the two sets of captain's armor and two white robes. The villain's new

The second captain of the army has been selected."

Lu Chu stopped stammering this time and waved directly to the entourage behind him. The entourage understood and immediately took out two sets of silver Mingguang armors that only mid-level and senior generals were qualified to wear, as well as two white cloaks from the carriage.

Chen Yingliang thanked Chen Yingliang, held up a set of equipment, turned to Guo Feng and shouted: "Guo Feng, Captain Guo, please step forward to receive the armor!"

Seeing the shining bright armor in Chen Yingliang's hand, Guo Feng, who had the courage to recommend himself, was speechless at first, then his face turned red all of a sudden, without saying a word, he strode up to Chen Yingliang and knelt down on one knee, raising his hands.

He solemnly took the armor from Chen Yingliang's hands, and then put it on in public at Chen Yingliang's request.

"Chen Zhihong, Lieutenant Chen, please come forward and take the armor!" Chen Yingliang held up the second set of Mingguang Armor. Chen Zhihong was so excited that his heart was beating fast. He imitated Guo Feng and knelt down in front of Chen Yingliang and took the Mingguang Armor, and then he also

Wear it in public.

In a short while, Guo Feng and Chen Zhihong finished putting on the Mingguang armor carefully crafted by the weapons supervisor. Chen Yingliang personally put on white cloaks for them, and ordered the two to turn to everyone and stand at attention. Just as the sun shone on the school grounds, the silver Mingguang armor worn by Guo Feng and Chen Zhihong was put on.

It was shining brightly and mightily, and the twenty-three captains and deputy captains who missed the opportunity and the remaining nearly four hundred New Army soldiers became extremely jealous. Chen Yingliang shouted loudly: "From now on, they will...
