Liu Xinda's army advanced too fast, which made the Tang army unable to keep up with their speed for a while. In all places where the opponent threw down, the Tang army had to divide their troops to maintain public order and suppress bandits and quell the chaos. No matter where, after such unrest occurred, some people would always take the opportunity to cause trouble, and they would always breed the peak period of bandits.

Liu Xinda robbed and left with full weight. How to deal with the aftermath is not at all under his consideration, but the Tang army could not think so. They had to station for a long time and digest it into a place under rule.

In this way, the speed of advancement will be slower.

Now Liu Xinda has captured Pingxiang and is preparing to leave, while the Tang army has not even entered Yichun.

"Captain, how about I'm going to taste the chicken I've roasted?" A soldier smiled and tore off a chicken thigh that was still emitting oil and handed it to the scout captain who led the team.

This is a team of Tang army scouts with only more than ten people. Because the speed of the large army could not keep up, the Tang army first sent scouts to Yichun to investigate the situation. After roughly finding out the current problems in Yichun, once the large army entered, they could solve all the problems with thunder.

The scout team is now stationed in an abandoned village.

It can be seen that the village was destroyed not long ago. It was obviously done by Liu Xinda's troops. Among the broken walls, there were still vaguely visible corpses exposed. The chicken caught by the soldier was probably the remaining fish that escaped the net after the last carpet-style search of Liu's troops. I don't know where to escape this disaster. It's a good thing for them to no longer have to chew cold and hard dry food.

In fact, in the scouts' regulations, they are strictly prohibited from using open flames because it is likely to cause them to expose their targets. However, this area is completely abandoned, and what they receive is not combat investigation, so they can indulge themselves a little.

Moreover, the weather is really bad today, it is dark and dark. God seems to want to fit in and crush the earth to death. A little bit of fireworks will not attract anyone's attention. And it is not easy to find fireworks here.

The house where I was hiding was intact. It can be seen that the owners in the past could be roughly considered a well-off family, because in this family, pigpens, cow pens, etc. were found. Nowadays, it is very good for the family to afford these livestock.

A circle of people sat around the fire pit. The firewood in the fire pit was burning very vigorously, and the burning flames reflected the red of each face.

"Instructor, I walked around the village roughly. I'm afraid there are no less than 30 people who die, including men, women, young and old. Those guys are really livestock." A team member said in a bit of anger: "If you meet me, they will have to step on them again if they kill me."

The captain gnawed the chicken legs in his hand clean, and finally chewed the chicken bones in his mouth and smacked them a few times before spitting them out and looking at the young team members under his command, saying, "This kind of thing is so common in the war period. You little guys have never experienced those moments before, but I, as old as I am, have seen too much. Sometimes I feel that my blood is cold, and no matter how miserable the scene is, I am indifferent."

This scout captain is a legendary figure among the Right Qianniu Guard. He is indeed very old and is almost fifty. He has been serving in the army for ten years. In theory, at this age and such qualifications have been promoted long ago. If he can't be promoted, he should retire.

But he could not be promoted. First, his age limit was too limited, and his superiors could not approve it. Second, he was illiterate and was unwilling to be admitted by the senologist at a very young age.

He did not retire because his commander was reluctant to leave. This man was a hunter before joining the army. It was a great sign of stalking and hiding. Even if there was a little trace, even if he was a footprint, peeing and shit, he could see a flower for you from these ordinary things, and then this flower was very likely to lead to a large sea of ​​flowers. So when the retirement season came, the bosses would always find reasons to keep him.

He rarely went out in the army, mainly to train the army in this area. If it weren't for all the scouts sent out, he wouldn't have been able to draw any people, and these young people who had just entered the training camp would not have been sent to carry out the mission by Li Gan.

Moreover, after being in the army for a long time, he was unwilling to leave the barracks. Although his position could not be promoted, his salary was getting higher and higher. As a scout instructor, the salary he received now was enough to be comparable to that of a Ranger General.

The new dolls in front of me are only in their early twenties and perform well in the recruit training camp, so they were picked out and sent to him for training. These are a group of little guys with no practical experience. Such actions can hone some of their basic skills.

There are certain dangers, but overall, it is still safe. Ordinary bandits dare not provoke them. Some of them have courage and hairy, and they will also deliver vegetables to them when they come. The old instructor even hopes that some bandits with eyes can try it, so that these babies can see blood and open meat. With the first encounter, it will be much easier in the future. Such bandits, when they meet organized soldiers, are basically the word "death".

Of course, if you encounter an enemy scout who is also experienced, it will be troublesome.

"Instructor, why are you not honored to retire? Wouldn't you go home and go with your grandson?" A guy who looked weird diligently poured a cup of hot water for the old instructor and held it in front of him.

"What? I'm afraid of practicing?" The old instructor smiled.

"Not that. We know that the instructor is teaching us skills. In our hometown, learning skills requires money. After paying the money, you have to do a few years of work for the master. This is the rules and regulations." The soldier smiled.

"I still can't bear to leave!" The instructor sighed: "I have been in the army for a long time and I can't adapt to it when I go back. Secondly, my family is living well now, but when I think of the past, I feel distressed. I don't want to go back to the past. So, being able to teach more people this ability, so that more people can protect the people, and let everyone stop living the same kind of life as before is my wish. When I really can't work, I feel at ease when I go home!"

"Is the instructor a member of Yixing?"

"Of course!" said the instructor proudly: "My membership number is very reliable. You are within 10,000 yuan, do you know?"

Looking at the little guys sitting around him, the instructor continued, "Now there are more than one million members of Yixing in the Tang Dynasty. Do you know all General Liu Yuan and Liu? His membership number is right behind me. This means that I joined the club earlier than him."

Everyone suddenly realized: "So, our Emperor should be number one, right?"

"Of course." said the instructor. "Didn't I leave for a few days a while ago? I went to Chang'an and attended the Yixing Society Congress. His Majesty the Emperor shook hands with me!"

The soldiers immediately became excited.

"Instructor, is the Emperor's Majesty the storyteller as he said, he is eight feet tall, his hands are over his knees, his ears are looming to his shoulders, and his eyes are swept away, which is terrifying?"

"Bah," the instructor said angrily: "You kid must have read books. Why do you hear these people making nonsense? Your Majesty, you are so kind. When you shake hands with me, my calves were soft and I almost couldn't stand it. Your Majesty was half a head taller than me, but there was ears that were to the shoulders and hands over the knees. Isn't that a monster?"

"When will I shake hands with His Majesty the Emperor?" said a man full of longing.

"Then you have to make great contributions first." The instructor smiled. "Not everyone is qualified to meet His Majesty the Emperor. Boy, when there were more than a thousand people in the Yixing Social Conference Hall, if they were either born and died to fight for the country, or they were strategizing hard, or they were inventing and creating great contributions to the country. People like me would be lucky enough to enter!"

"Instructor, you have a lot of things to say, but you can't tell me." Another soldier smiled.

The instructor smiled: "Don't think I don't know that you scold me for being a rough man behind my back, but I'm not wrong. I am indeed a rough man, illiterate, and not as lucky as you, you have been with the Emperor and others, so that you can't read since you were a child. I really can't say these words. I said it when Your Majesty was speaking, but I didn't dare to pull a word. I remembered some on the spot, and after I came back, I read it to me and memorized it. I dare not forget a word of what Your Majesty said."

"I have read it in the newspaper, but I forgot it again." Xiaobing said.

The instructor snorted and said, "Being rude to you is to let you learn more skills. You are not as good as other places in the army. If you don't learn anything solidly, you will kill you when you go to the battlefield. Boys, don't underestimate the enemy. No matter how weak the enemy is, there are people who can kill you. Those who have worked with me over the years have died, and there are not many left. Those who do our business are all elites in the army, and you must be very proud of this.

But I can tell you clearly that our industry is the one with the most casualties. Don’t look at me as old as I live. I’m afraid there are more scars on my body than you are. Because most of the people who fight us are also the strongest on the enemy. We rarely have large-scale battles, but the more small it is, even single-player battles, the greater the risk. When fighting a large army, ordinary conspiracies do not work, but when fighting alone, what kind of cunning tricks do you have?"

Everyone heard this and all the time became solemn, leaving only the capital to nod.
