Xuanwumen

"Master Xu, the champion of the new division came to thank you with a Jinshi." Zhao Gong said to Xu Qing with a smile, and Xu Qing also stood up with a happy face and said: "Okay, then I will go to meet you."

It is impossible for those Jinshi to go to the Xuanwu Gate. Xu Qing has to go outside the Chengtian Gate before he can accept Xie En.Xu Qing said to the Jinshi: "The world of human beings is in the universe. You should judge yourself inside and outside. Cultivate the spirit internally, train the physique externally, report to the country, and go down to the people. Don’t break the law, don’t disobey relatives and friends. In this way, you can settle down and live, and you only need to look around to do what you want without breaking the rules. If you don’t break the rules, you can advance step by step, and after you are promoted, you need to check again.”

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he turned around and left. A group of Jinshi looked at Xu Qing's back and couldn't help shouting.

After this martial arts exercise, Xu Qingqi not only harvested thousands of students, but also successfully arranged people from Anhe into the government.Xu Qing either arranged them in key positions, or deliberately arranged them in ordinary places, and even some members of the Underworld, Xu Qing also told them to sing against him.Xu Qing's move was to mobilize other people in the army who had bad intentions towards Xu Qing to take the opportunity to jump out and catch them all.

In addition, the current defenders of Xuanwumen have really become 1 people, and the momentum of a large army of [-] people is different when they stand together.The equipment that Xu Qing ordered before has also been sent over, so let's line up the troops without saying anything.

Xu Qing's formation was born to deal with cavalry, but it was also effective against infantry. As long as he didn't encounter a formation with the same large shield, it was an active meat grinder, and he could kill as many people as he came.Xu Qing called it "Zhuxian Formation".

The original version of Zhuxian Formation 1.0 is a three-line formation, with a large shield in front to resist the enemy's bows and arrows.Especially for cavalry archers, cavalry generally choose to project at a relatively low angle in order to avoid shooting their own people when they are moving fast.At Xu Qing's place, the arrow is flat and slightly downward, so the big shield can block it all.In case the cavalry on the opposite side can still master the principle of shooting at a 45-degree angle to shoot the farthest, Xu Qing also has a way. The soldiers under him are relatively strong in physical fitness, and each of them has a small shield on their backs, which can block the end of the crossbow.

There are two rows of large shield soldiers, 600 people.Holding a two-meter-high cowhide large shield, the large shield can stand on the spot without support, which also gives the large shield soldier some flexibility.In the front row, if anyone falls down, the ones behind will fill up.The big shield soldiers are all tall, and their horizontal knives have also been lengthened a bit. Besides the first time, they are also equipped with light guns.

Such a configuration is so that when the soldiers meet at hand, the shield soldiers will not stand stupidly, they can kill the enemy when they advance, and they can block the cavalry when they retreat.How much strength can this shield soldier have to block it with all his strength?Xu Qing did an experiment, which was bloody to say the least, children should not watch it.A horse stands in place, and two shield soldiers attack the horse from both sides with all their strength, and can kill it in one fell swoop.

Behind the shield soldiers is the pike soldiers, there is only one row, but there are 1000 people standing behind two rows of shield soldiers, which is relatively dense.A long spear is one piece long, as thick as an arm, with a steel spear point at the front end.The impact force of the cavalry is relatively strong. If you are not careful, the long spear with thick arms will break.

After breaking it, the spearman will take out another weapon called Ge.This kind can overtake the cavalry who hit the shield wall just now, and hook him down.

Behind the pikemen, there used to be crossbowmen directly, but now Xu Qing has also prepared a two thousand Modao team.The Modao team is the meat grinder for melee combat. They are filled with some of the tallest and strongest soldiers in Xu Qing's army, holding huge steel knives. There is only one training method, which is to swing the Modao up and down.

Finally, there are four thousand and four rows of crossbowmen.Three thousand crossbowmen, one thousand archers, four rows, the core things are similar to before.There are more than 1000 people left, either the personal guards selected by Xu Qing, or the old and weak in the army or auxiliary soldiers with little combat effectiveness.

After the Immortal Jade Formation taught him an appearance, Xu Qing gave it to Zhuge Yan and Dian Yi, who were proficient in formation techniques in his own army.In addition to this Zhuxian formation, there are other training formations, such as the battle of defending the city.

In June, Xu Qing went home to accompany his wife.

After several days of dark clouds, it finally attracted a heavy rain. Xu Qing pretended not to be sick. Li Yuan would not believe that Xu Qing was really sick, but the court was fine now, so Xu Qing was left alone.But Xu Qing didn't know that his family would welcome a distinguished guest today.

The heavy rain made the roads muddy, and it got dark early, so Chang'an City closed its gates early.Anyway, there are very few pedestrians in this weather.

But at this moment, on the road outside Chang'an City, a rush of horseshoes was suddenly heard.Immediately afterwards, I saw a pure black cavalry running towards the heavy rain from behind. Although everyone was drowned by the heavy rain, the majesty of the cavalry did not weaken at all.

The horseshoe flew away the Niwan, and a cavalryman came from the direction of Chang'an City, and went to meet these people.When the two sides met, the solo rider reported: "His Royal Highness, the rain is too heavy, the sky is covered by dark clouds, and Chang'an City is closed ahead of time. What should I do?"

It turned out that this was Li Shimin's return from Lingzhou's great defeat of Tuyuhun.Before he could speak, a black-faced general next to him roared, "If you're afraid of a ball, you yell at the city wall. The King of Qin is here. If you dare not open the door, I'll kill you and go in!"

"Respect! Don't talk nonsense!" King Qin reprimanded, thought for a while, looked around, and then pointed the whip at the east of the city and said, "That's Xu Qingde's house over there. Let's go and stay at his house. I heard that this bastard The boy swallowed up all the hundreds of dead soldiers I trained so hard, and also caused my eldest grandson Wuji to suffer a big loss. The whole two thousand acres of land were sold to Xu Qing at a low price of one or two acres."

"Hahaha, didn't the old grandson vomit blood?" Yuchi Jingde laughed and said, "But that brat Xu Qing, I haven't seen you in three months, but this side is so powerful, it's really scary!"

"Let's go! Go to Shantianzhuang!"

"promise!"

In fact, the real reason why Li Shimin came back was that he heard that Li Yuan asked Xu Qing to choose soldiers from his army. It is fine to move my officers, and it is fine to move my vassals. no.

"This is Xu Qing's house?" A general who was silent at first spoke, but he looked at the opening of Shantianzhuang and seemed to be a little thoughtful.

"Why, what did Shu Bao see?" Li Shimin looked at him with a bit of respect in his eyes.

Qin Qiong stared at the mountain pass for a while and shook his head: "I can't say it, but there is some murderous aura here, and it is well hidden, can't I see it?"

"Even Shubao can't see what's wrong, it seems that Xu Qing really has some skills..." At this time, another general came out, his name was Gongsun Wuda, and he said: "Oh, don't worry about it , We are still afraid that Xu Qing will fail? This general is already so hungry that his chest is stuck to his back."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Hehe, don't worry, Xu Qing's family's wine and food are famous in Chang'an, and they are also top-notch in the palace. Wait a minute, you five must pay attention to how you eat."

While speaking, Li Shimin's cavalry came to Xu Fu.

To be honest, Li Shimin had a very strange feeling towards Xu Qing.The two of them didn't have many contacts, and the biggest communication was just as a comrade-in-arms when they fought Liu Heita in Hebei.Later, Xu Qing had nothing to do with him. Xu Qing even killed hundreds of his dead men, and even saved his opponent Li Jiancheng.

But for some reason, Li Shimin trusted Xu Qing very much from the bottom of his heart. When he saw Xu Qing, he felt inexplicably at ease.There are some secrets and thoughts in his heart that Guanyin's maid is unwilling to tell, but he wants to talk to Xu Qing quickly.He also had a feeling that no matter whether the crown prince won or he won, this Xu Qing was the talent they had to win over, but this Xu Qing was just waiting for the one of them to win.Therefore, the current Xu Qing will never get involved in the affairs of the two of them.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't like the other ministers who got involved, and advised him to kill his brother, how could he be a good person.But, hey, maybe the best is not the most suitable.

Walking to Xu Qing's door, Li Shimin knocked on the door, and let the door in to inform Xu Qing.It was a rainy day, Xu Qing was taking a bath, when he heard that Li Xiaoer was coming, he was flustered, so he put on a casual dress, since it wasn't cold anyway, so he went to greet him.

"My minister Xu Qing, I didn't know that His Royal Highness King Qin was coming, and I was far away to welcome you. Please forgive me, His Majesty King Qin!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Master Xu, please don't do this. This king came back from Lingzhou and didn't inform Mr. Xu. I'm a bad guest. I'm really sorry. However, this king is hungry now, and I still want to beg for a drink from Mr. Xu." Beauté to drink."

"What did the King of Qin say?" Xu Qing clasped his hands and said, "The King of Qin can go to the house and live in the next house." Then, Xu Qing welcomed Li Shimin inside, and took a look at them: "Generals, the wind and rain are here. , your body must be wet. If you don’t let me wash it here, I’ll prepare clean clothes for you to wear?”

Xu Qing, King Qin and Li Yuan were all about the same size, and others like Yu Chigong were about the same size, and they were all similar in size, so this clothes can really be borrowed.Ke Shi, Yu Chigong heard something else, and yelled: "Why, I'm afraid that if I get dirty, your house won't work?"

Li Shimin stopped him for a while and said: "Jingde, don't be like this, Mr. Xu is kind, he is afraid that we will catch a cold."

The rest of the generals said it would be good to take a bath.Xu Qing took them to the bathroom, told them how to use the soap and the faucet, and went to prepare the banquet by himself.The servants got busy, cutting meat and stir-frying, making a few home-cooked dishes, and filling their stomachs is enough.Xu Qing also asked people to bring out five altars of good wine, aged by immortals. With this wine, a few home-cooked dishes can also be turned into a grand feast.

In the bathroom, several rough men cursed after getting into the water: "Why is this cold water, how can I wash in cold water!"

"Hey, hey, there's hot water in this pipe!"

"Hey! Miao, Miao, I have to pretend to be one when I go back..."

"Um, King Qin, you are particular about people, but you know how to use this soap, Xu Qing just said it, I forgot..."

Li Shimin muttered, just to wipe it on his body?
