Gu Tongming, the envoy of the Kelan Army, is an honest man and a relatively upright person.
The problems of the Kelan Army are all on the surface.
Zhao Ziliang has given solutions to these problems, but what he needs most is The combat effectiveness of the Kelan Army.
On this day, after he reviewed the training situation of each battalion and unit of the Kelan Army, he was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Kelan Army.
Logically speaking, the Kelan Army was stationed on the edge of the Yellow River, with fertile military fields, sufficient food and grass, and it was located in the middle of the entire Hedong.
Southwest , there is no need to worry about being attacked by the northern nomadic army, and with sufficient training time, the combat effectiveness and morale should be very good, but Zhao Ziliang was very disappointed after watching the training of each battalion of the Kelan Army.
The soldiers stood and walked loosely, the military formations were uneven, and they were weak when rehearsing combat movements.
The transformation of military formations was too slow and often made mistakes.
The tactical cooperation between the soldiers lacked tacit understanding.
The shooting of the crossbow units was accurate.
The speed is really hard to compliment.
The cavalry's riding skills are barely passable, but in cavalry battles and In terms of cavalry and archery, it was completely useless.
Maybe in Gu Tongming's eyes, his soldiers were pretty good, but in Zhao Ziliang's eyes, such an army was really bad.
However, although he was Gu Tongming's direct superior, he had no idea how to do it.
It is not easy to intervene directly in training and improving the combat effectiveness of Kelan Army.
After all, Gu Tongming is the envoy of Kelan Army.
At the end of the drill of each battalion of the Kelan Army, Zhao Ziliang discovered a bright spot.
The 50 people in the team led by a young man in his twenties were particularly outstanding in the drill.
It can be said that the soldiers of this team were both energetic and energetic.
Conveniently, his performance in various exercises far exceeds that of others.
Zhao Ziliang immediately asked: "Who is this person?"
The official position of team leader was so small that Gu Tongming, the Kelan Army envoy, had to ask someone else to learn the name of this person.
After asking, he reported to Zhao Ziliang: "General, this person's name is Liu Zhengchen.
He is twenty-three this year."
At the age of 30, he served in the army for three years and is now the captain of the first team of the second battalion, third regiment, second brigade."
Zhao Ziliang couldn't remember whether this person existed in the history of the Tang Dynasty in his previous life, but this person could be described as standing out among the Kelan Army.
It was because the others were too mediocre.
He said: "Call Liu Zhengchen.
"Meet someone" "promise" After a while, Liu Zhengchen was called over.
He recognized Gu Tongming and immediately bowed to Gu Tongming and said: "Liu Zhengchen, commander of the first team of the second battalion, third regiment, second brigade, pays homage to the general."
Gu Tongming now discovered that Liu Zhengchen's talents were extraordinary, and he became fond of and interested in him.
He quickly helped him up and said, "Okay, get up, this is General Zhao Ziliang, the commander of the army on the left side, and my immediate superior.
Go and meet me quickly” Liu Zhengchen looked at Zhao Ziliang.
Although he was surprised at Zhao Ziliang's age, he still responded quickly and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "I pay my respects to General Zhao."
"Without courtesy," Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and asked, "Liu Zhengchen, I have a question, General.
You personally trained these soldiers under your command in accordance with the drill subjects prescribed by the Military Envoy Office."
Liu Zhengchen nodded and said: "Yes, General" Zhao Ziliang frowned and asked in confusion: "If that's the case, then why are the performance results of your team so much better than those of other teams?"
The question "this" made Liu Zhengchen hesitate, and he did not say the next words.
Zhao Ziliang saw this and immediately said with a serious look: "Liu Duizheng, I hope you will tell the truth.
You may be worried about the presence of some people, or you may not dare to speak, but you should understand that it will make me unhappy."
What is the result?"
After hearing this, beads of sweat appeared on Liu Zhengchen's forehead.
After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Because the other battalions and units only practice for one hour a day, while the soldiers in Xiaoren's team practice for two hours a day."
Zhao Ziliang turned to look at Gu Tongming and the other generals of the Kelan Army.
The expressions of these people were very calm, which made Zhao Ziliang even more confused and puzzled.

He looked at Liu Zhengchen and asked, "It's that simple."
Liu Zhengchen said: "The villain dare not deceive the general, it's that simple."
Zhao Ziliang saw that Liu Zhengchen didn't look like he was lying.
He waved to Qiu Zhen, who was standing not far behind and joined the army.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Zhen quickly ran over and saluted: "General" Zhao Ziliang nodded and asked: "Does the imperial court have clear regulations on the length of daily drill time for the garrison in various places?"
Qiu Zhen thought for a while and said: "It seems that there are precise regulations for the Sixteenth Guards and the prefectural troops across the country.
However, the situation of the border troops is special.
Because they have to be prepared for enemy attacks at any time, the specific conditions in different places are not the same.
The leading general can make decisions based on the actual situation.
Some frontier troops train for two hours a day, some train for three hours a day, and some only train for one hour.
This is all true."
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
An army only trains for two hours a day.
It's strange that such an army can have combat effectiveness.
No wonder Kelan's army can't even move in line, and the changes in military formations often go wrong.
If this happens, On the battlefield, I'm afraid there will be chaos soon.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ziliang turned to look at Gu Tongming and said: "General Gu, the situation is obvious.
The rest of the Kelan Army only practices for one hour a day, while the soldiers under Liu Zhengchen's Army practice for two hours a day. , so the soldiers under him are much better than the soldiers of other teams in every aspect.
Let me ask you, who stipulated that the Kelan Army only trains for one hour every day?
Isn't it you?"
Gu Tongming said quickly: "General Mingjian, the last general has been like this since he came to Kelan Army, and it has never changed."
Zhao Ziliang was also helpless towards Gu Tongming.
This guy was just a step-by-step person, a person who was afraid of trouble.
He was promoted to the position of Kelan Military Envoy entirely through qualifications.
The mission and affairs were afraid that they would remain the same.
This would lead to a new era.
Infinite loop.
Zhao Ziliang had the idea of transferring Gu Tongming away at this time, but he quickly rejected the idea in his heart.
Not long after he took office, he had already started a war with the Datong Army in the past few days.
If Gu Tongming, the Kelan Army, was transferred again, If the envoy is transferred, the entire Hedong Army will have opinions about him.
This will also make him look too ugly, which will not be conducive to his future actions in the official circles of Hedong's military and political circles.
Zhao Ziliang thought about it and decided to give Gu Tongming another chance, so he said to Gu Tongming: "Okay, we won't pursue this issue anymore.
I will solve the issue of Kelan Army's military pay and ordnance supplies for you.
In the future, Kelan Lan Jun's place Any military pay, ordnance and supplies will be allocated by the Jiedushi Mansion to the Zuoxiang Soldiers and Horses Mansion.
You can come to the general to ask for it, but the general needs you to improve the combat effectiveness and military discipline of the Kelan Army, and there are still vacancies for soldiers.
Please fix it as soon as possible.
Is there any problem?”
Gu Tongming replied: "General, there is no problem in filling up the missing soldiers, but there must be a reference for the improvement of combat effectiveness."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment, then looked up and saw Liu Zhengchen still standing aside.
He suddenly felt something in his heart and said to Gu Tongming: "I think Liu Duizheng is very good and has a good way of leading troops.
It's a pity to be a Duizheng with his talents.
Let's do this." , this general made the decision to temporarily promote him to the rank of captain of the sixth battalion.
This general just saw that the third The Sixth Battalion is the worst in every aspect.
He will lead the Sixth Battalion.
After March, each battalion of the Kelan Army will conduct competitions and actual combat exercises.

If the level of various training subjects of other battalions of the Kelan Army can exceed The Sixth Battalion commanded by Liu Zhengchen, and in actual combat only one battalion defeated the Sixth Battalion commanded by Liu Zhengchen , the general is satisfied.
This shows that General Gu still has a way of commanding and training troops.
By then, General Gu can continue to serve as Kelan's military envoy, and Liu Zhengchen will go back to continue to be his commander.
But if after March In the competitions and actual combat exercises, no battalion outperformed the Sixth Battalion in various subjects.
Battalion, and defeated the Sixth Battalion in actual combat exercises, this shows that General Gu is no longer suitable for the post of Kelan Military Envoy.
At that time, I will suggest to Lord Tian, the Jiedushi Commander, that you be transferred and let someone else serve as Kelan Military Envoy. position, and Liu Zhengchen, the captain of the 6th Battalion, is now secure in his position.
General Gu, what do you think?"
Gu Tongming felt bitter in his heart.
He knew very well that his abilities were limited, and he was indeed not an enterprising general.
His biggest wish was to be able to sit in the position of Kelan Army Envoy and become an official.
However, This wish was questioned by Zhao Ziliang, the new boss.
Although Gu Tongming is an honest man, Zhao Ziliang undoubtedly despises and looks down on him by doing this.
He is also a little angry.
How can he swallow this?
He immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since the general said so, how can the general not If you agree, just do as the general said, Liu Zhengchen, from now on, you will be the captain of the 6th Battalion.
Xu Feng, the former captain of the 6th Battalion, has been temporarily transferred to a certain person as a Yamen general."
Xu Feng glared at Liu Zhengchen fiercely, cupped her hands to Gu Tongming and said: "No" Zhao Ziliang said to Liu Zhengchen: "Now it's time to call you Captain Liu.
However, your title of Captain Liu is temporary for the time being.
It will only be worthy of the name when you, the Sixth Battalion, become the leader after the competition ends in three months." , so Lieutenant Liu, whether it’s for your own future or for the ideal in your heart, you can’t lose.
Don’t let this general down.
If you lose, you have to go back and continue to be a captain.
It’s very likely that you will be a captain for the rest of your life.
There is no future left” There were beads of sweat on Liu Zhengchen's forehead.
He cupped his fists and raised his hands in salute to Zhao Ziliang: "I remember the general's words.
I will try my best."
"well" After Zhao Ziliang stayed in Kelan's army for another day, he returned with the generals and retinues of the army.
On the way back, Qiu Zhen, the military recorder, said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, what you are doing is tantamount to calling that Liu Zhengchen's team is being roasted on the fire, and I don't know if he can withstand it.
Maybe someone in Kelan's army will warn and threaten him as soon as we leave."
Zhao Ziliang said calmly: "If you want to get ahead, how can you do it without taking some risks?
If he has this talent, he will make money.
If he does not have this talent, he will have no choice but to leave
.
