"Rengui, Your Majesty asked me to train elite soldiers. I am not very familiar with military formations. I heard that you have extraordinary martial arts skills and are proficient in the art of war. I specially ask you to come and help. When the elite soldiers are trained, Your Majesty will personally inspect them. Then I will
Please take credit for you!" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Xue Rengui didn't know where Lin Xuan knew that he knew martial arts and war, but this was undoubtedly an opportunity.
"Thank you Sir, I will definitely live up to Sir Sir's high expectations!" Xue Rengui said, cupping his fists.
Lin Xuan recalled a story and asked curiously: "Rengui, I see you are quite old. Have you started a family?"
Xue Rengui's face turned red and he said: "Speaking of this, I have to thank you Sir!"
"Thank me for what?" Lin Xuan was stunned.
Xue Rengui explained what happened, and then Lin Xuan understood.
When Xue Rengui was young, his family was poor and his status was humble, and he made farming his profession.
In normal times, he often goes into the mountains to hunt to support his family.
He has great martial arts skills and superb archery skills, and he can always hit some prey that ordinary people can't hit.
It is also quite famous in Longmen County.
There was a wealthy businessman named Liu in Longmen County, and his family had a small amount of assets. Someone took advantage of the wealth and kidnapped Miss Liu's family and extorted money. He happened to be rescued by Xue Rengui.
Miss Liu fell in love with Xue Rengui at first sight and visited her many times in the name of thanking him.
Over and over again, it developed into a mutual love.
It didn't take long for the Liu family master to find out about this matter. For the sake of his daughter's reputation, he just locked his daughter at home and did not make the matter a big deal.
He told Xue Rengui that if he had given up on this idea, how could his daughter marry a farmer?
Originally, Xue Rengui thought that he would never see Miss Liu again in this life.
Unexpectedly, when he and Liu Da went to Chang'an, Miss Liu came to see him off.
Miss Liu told Xue Rengui that Master Liu let her go because he knew the reason why he was favored by Lord Chang'an.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, it didn't stop her from coming to see Xue Rengui off. The meaning was self-evident.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "After all, I am still your matchmaker. When you get married in the future, don't forget to treat me to a wedding banquet."
"One day, I will definitely invite you, Sir!" Xue Rengui said seriously.
"I believe there will come a day. After the house is purchased, I will send someone a hundred coins and a few maids. I will go back to the military camp tomorrow and give you three days to settle down at home. Then I will report to the military camp. Are you okay?
Question?" Lin Xuan asked.
Xue Rengui said solemnly: "Sir, it doesn't take three days, I can go to the military camp tomorrow."
His Xue family has been officials for generations, but because his father died young and his family fell into decline, he has always been determined to revive the family.
He had never joined the army because he couldn't let go of his mother and sister.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, you will go to the military camp with me tomorrow morning."
Lin Xuan and Xue Rengui chatted for a while, and Butler Lin came to report that the house had been bought and was not far from Lin's house.
Lin Xuan did not go, but asked Butler Lin to send a few maids and a hundred coins over.
I'm going to the military camp tomorrow and I don't know how long it will take to get back. I'd better spend more time with my parents during this time.
…
"Mom, this house is so big!" Xue Xiaoxiao said excitedly.
In fact, this house is not big, it is just a courtyard with two entrances.
But it was already big for Xue Xiaoxiao, who had been living in a thatched house.
Mrs. Xue said with some sigh: "When your father was here, our family was bigger than this."
"Mom, don't worry, my son will definitely shine in the future!" Xue Rengui said.
Xue Xiaoxiao was still young at the time and didn't know much about the previous situation at home.
But Xue Rengui has already remembered things and knows them very clearly.
Mrs. Xue nodded and said: "Rengui, mother believes in you. The Jingyang County uncle has been kind to you. When you go to the army, you must help the Jingyang County uncle. Do you understand?"
"Mom, I know!" Xue Rengui was very grateful to Lin Xuan. Even if it wasn't for himself, he would still be considerate.
"It's good that you understand, Rengui, you are good at everything, but you are too filial. You have been farming at home for my mother all these years, which has wronged you. Now the family has no worries about food and drink, and the little one is now big, so I can take care of you."
My dear mother, when you go to the military camp, you can be your soldier with peace of mind, and don’t worry about your family anymore." Mrs. Xue explained.
…
Early the next morning, Lin Xuan brought Xue Rengui to the military camp.
When Lin Xuan arrived, Cheng Chumo and the others were already training with the soldiers.
He did not show up, but took Xue Rengui to watch the soldiers training not far away.
"Sir, this is the first time I have seen this training method. I wonder what its use is?" Xue Rengui asked himself. He was familiar with the art of war and knew some training methods. This was the first time he had seen this kind of training method.
Lin Xuan explained: "This is a military stance. It not only exercises the soldiers' perseverance, but also their obedience!"
After Xue Rengui listened, he looked at the soldiers in the school field thoughtfully.
Lin Xuan smiled and did not disturb his thinking.
Lin Xuan did not show up with Xue Rengui all morning, and had been watching the soldiers training.
Stand in a military posture, stand still, and turn left and right.
For each training item, Lin Xuan would explain to Xue Rengui the purpose and benefits of such training.
When the soldiers were dismissed and went to eat, Lin Xuan asked: "How about my training method?"
Xue Rengui said with admiration: "Sir, this training method may seem ordinary, but it is of great use. As long as you practice military formations in Duoduo and undergo the baptism of the battlefield, over time, you will definitely become an elite soldier!"
No matter how well trained they are, they will never be considered elite soldiers unless they are tested on the battlefield.
Lin Xuan nodded and said: "This is also the reason why I came to you. I am not proficient in military formations. You will come to practice military formations this afternoon!"
"Sir, I have no reputation in the army, so I may not be able to convince the public." Xue Rengui said with some embarrassment.
"Don't worry, I have a solution!" Lin Xuan said confidently.
Xue Rengui looked at Lin Xuan with some confusion, wondering what he could do.
Lin Xuan said: "You will know in the afternoon. Now follow me to the tent to have dinner first."
Taking Xue Rengui to the camp, the soldiers had already prepared meals.
"Sit down and eat. I don't have many rules." Lin Xuan picked up the bowl and started eating.
Xue Rengui was a little cautious at first, but soon relaxed.
Lin Xuan was full after eating two bowls of rice. He put down the bowl and wiped his mouth.
Seeing that Lin Xuan stopped eating, Xue Rengui hurriedly finished the rice in the bowl and put the bowl down.
"Are you full? I heard that you eat a lot, why don't you just eat this little?" Lin Xuan asked a little strangely.
Legend has it that Xue Rengui could eat several buckets of rice. Even if it is an exaggeration, it is not enough to eat just this.
Xue Rengui scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "As long as I don't use force, these are enough for me."
The implication is that I haven’t eaten enough yet.
Lin Xuan said: "It's okay, the army is full of food, so you can eat freely."
"Then I'm not welcome." Xue Rengui picked up the bowl, filled it with another bowl of rice, and started eating.
After eating seven more bowls of rice, Xue Rengui put down the bowl and burped.
"Are you full?" Lin Xuan looked at Xue Rengui in surprise.
It's not that Xue Rengui ate too much, but that he ate too little.
Including the first three bowls, there are only ten bowls, not even half a bucket.
Although this appetite is different from ordinary people, there are still many people who have this appetite.
Didn’t you say that Xue Rengui could eat several buckets? The water content was too high.
"I'm already full. If I just eat, I can eat more." Xue Rengui said.
"Do you usually just eat?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.
But it can be explained in this way. Xue Rengui usually practices martial arts, so it is normal to eat more.
After all, just eating without eating meat will consume you very quickly.
Lin Xuan thought he could eat a few buckets of whatever he ate.
"Since you are full, go and rest first, and follow me to train soldiers in the afternoon." Lin Xuan called a soldier and asked him to take Xue Rengui to the camp arranged for him.
After Xue Rengui left, Lin Xuan had someone tidy up and went to bed.
