The contest ended. Gao Shun, the original general of Xiyuan, was imprisoned for contradicting his superior. He was temporarily detained in a barracks in Xiyuan. After the Xiyuan Army was formally established, he would be transferred to a prison. This prison

After the disaster, Gao Shun's career may have come to an end.

Perhaps, the emperor's original intention was not like this, but in the end, the Xiyuan general selection became a joke in Chen Mo's eyes, and as the best general of the Xiyuan army, Gao Shun's end was also inexplicably chilling.

"Chen Mo, don't make a mistake, Duke Shuo has an order..." Early the next morning, Chen Mo carried the food basket and went to visit Gao Shun, but was stopped by two Xiyuan soldiers who were responsible for guarding the gate.

These people were originally candidates for Xiyuan's selection, but unfortunately they have been eliminated. Now they remain in the Xiyuan Army, and may be able to serve as garrison generals or team leaders in the future.

"Don't be so old-fashioned." Chen Mo carried the food basket, looked around, then walked forward and said with a smile: "That Qianshuo is just an eunuch. You are all from famous families, are you really willing to listen to his orders? Besides, you are so tall.

Although the general treats us harshly on weekdays, General Gao did not hesitate to fight against Qianshuo for us yesterday. It is difficult for me and others to redress General Gao's injustice, but we can at least let him live in this West Garden.

Feel more comfortable, what do you two think?"

"This..." One person hesitated, but the other sighed: "Military orders are like mountains, this is what General Gao taught us."

"Don't be like this and always listen to the general. You are destined to never be a general in the future. There are always exceptions in everything. That Qian Shuo doesn't know the art of war, but he gives random orders. Who knows whether you and I will be like General Gao in the future?" Chen Mo said.

He patted the shoulders of the two of them and said: "Open it quickly. I will bring some food to General Gao. After delivering it, I will leave. After a long time, I should give you this kind of kindness, right?"

"Then hurry up." The soldier hesitated after hearing the words, turned to look at the other person and said: "Look around, don't let the eunuchs and his minions see you."

"Here!"

"Thank you." Chen Mo chuckled and stuffed two chicken drumsticks for the two of them: "Let's have something to eat. I'll be right back."

"Hurry up. If you are caught, we will tell you that you entered without permission. We didn't see it." The soldier waved his hand impatiently.

"Understood." Chen Momo nodded really, and after asking the two to help him unlock the door, he walked into the room with the food basket in hand.

In the room, Gao Shun knelt down on the straw mat, closed his eyes and meditated. He heard the door knocking, but ignored it.

"General Gao!" Chen Mo put the food basket on the table, looked at Gao Shun, and called softly.

"Chen Mo? Why are you here?" Gao Shun finally opened his eyes and looked at Chen Mo in surprise.

"The battle to win the general is over, so I came here to see you." Chen Mo opened the food basket and found the roast chicken with two chicken legs missing, plus a few dishes of vegetarian dishes. Chen Mo couldn't help but smile and said: "The general selection is over now, I'll wait for the food and accommodation."

It's a lot better. I don't know what Qian Shuo's intention is, but this time I choose generals mostly from wealthy families, so I'm afraid it won't be effective."

"This is exactly what I'm worried about." Gao Shun frowned.

"Oh?" Chen Mo asked as he served Gao Shun a bowl of soup, "What do you mean?"

"Although Qian Shuo is incompetent, he is your Majesty's confidant. The new army is actually controlled by this person on behalf of your majesty. Now the generals of the new army are resistant to that Qian Shuo. What your majesty has been planning for a long time may not be able to work." Gao Gao

Shun sighed.

Chen Mo sighed, shook his head and said, "Then Qian Shuosheng ruined the selection of generals in Xiyuan, will the general not complain?"

"Of course I am resentful. This matter is related to the safety of the country. How can we abolish public service for personal reasons?" Gao Shun frowned.

"Most people don't understand these principles." Chen Mo nodded. This is what he admires most about Gao Shun. A person who can separate public and private matters may not be lovable, but such a person is definitely worthy of admiration.

"You are smart and resourceful. You are not here just to talk to me about these things." Gao Shun ate a piece of chicken and looked at Chen Mo and said suddenly.

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded: "No matter how absurd this selection of generals is, Mo was lucky enough to win. However, there are many things that I don't understand about the way to run an army, so I came here to ask the general for advice."

No matter how disappointed he is with the new army, now that he has come to this point, Chen Mo will not give up easily, so he came to ask Gao Shun if he can learn more, which will definitely help him in his future career. This reserve officer training

In fact, they are all good. If there is no prerequisite for selecting generals, this army is the closest to the army in the dream battlefield among the armies that Chen Mo has ever seen.

With someone like Gao Shun, it's best not to think about cheating, because he seems old-fashioned, but in fact he is not stupid, and is even very smart. Frankness is the best way. Gao Shun will tell you what he can tell you, but he can't.

That said, it's useless even if you call him daddy.

Gao Shun fell into silence after hearing this. Chen Mo's request was actually a bit excessive. You are a master of housekeeping. Why should I teach you if you have no relatives and no reason?

"General, don't worry, Mo doesn't want to learn everything the general has learned. He just wants the general to teach Mo a few methods of running an army so that he can see some results in a short time." Chen Mo explained.

Gao Shun nodded and said: "Actually, there is no secret. It is not difficult to achieve unity among soldiers. You only need to eat and live with the soldiers, but you must be strict with military laws. Even if you violate military regulations, you must also

When you are punished, you must be strict with yourself and military discipline, and you will be able to work together as one and conquer everything."

"This..." Chen Mo was stunned. Most of the art of war had similar explanations. He looked at Gao Shun and said, "It doesn't seem difficult."

"It is easy to be strict with others, but it is difficult to be strict with oneself. In fact, we know many truths in this world, but there are not many people who can do it." Gao Shun shook his head and said: "You are smart, adaptable, know how to advance and retreat, and can judge the situation. You are the right person."

It's a good thing, but it's always difficult to have both ends. What's important in the army is self-discipline. If you want to be a good general, you have to give up many things, but if you give up these things, it will be difficult for you to go far in today's world." Gao Shun looked at it.

Chen Mo said: "As for how to choose, it depends on what you want!"

What do I want?

Chen Mo picked up the bowl, took a sip of the soup, and shook his head. What he wanted was to get ahead and shine, and he had been working hard for this over the years.

He was exploring the road step by step. He made friends with celebrities and studied hard, but for many things, as he said to Lu Zhi before, three points depended on ability, six points depended on luck, and one point depended on fate. The new army was originally a very good person.

It's a pity that it's a good opportunity. Now it seems that it may be prosperous for a while, but if it continues like this, it may not last long. This is why Chen Mo came to ask Gao Shun for advice. Now he has no better choice to enter the new era.

The army may be able to use the temporary prosperity of the New Army as a springboard to enter the court.

As for what will happen next, Chen Mo is naturally not qualified to participate in the game between the big shots in the court. All he can do is to make himself as strong as possible and then find a way out.

When Gao Shun talked about making a choice, Chen Mo was thinking about it. After the new army, how should he choose? He wanted to prove his worth, and training troops was naturally one aspect of showing off his abilities. But Chen Mo had learned a lot, and he didn't know anything about it.

Chen Mo felt somewhat unwilling to let him establish himself only as a training general.

"I've finished asking, why don't you leave?" Gao Shun asked while eating chicken wings when he saw Chen Mo was deep in thought.

"In the eyes of the general, is Mo such a snobbish person?" Chen Mo said with some humor.

"You have a keen mind, a quick wit, and are good at learning, but that's just the way you are." Gao Shun nodded.

Chen Mo: "..."

A feeling of depression filled his chest. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. After a long time, Chen Mo shook his head and said: "I really came here to visit the general. Regardless of whether the general believes it or not, it is just a matter of course to ask for advice from the general.

"

"Maybe." Gao Shun nodded noncommittally. He was not in a high position and could not put his talents to use, but in these years in Luoyang, many people have become accustomed to the warmth and coldness of people. If he really has such a person without any utilitarianism,

He will be surprised.

"I will try to save the general from prison." Chen Mo stood up and saluted Gao Shun: "Although this place is not heavily guarded, there are many eunuchs and minions. I will look for an opportunity to visit the general again."

"No." Gao Shun just nodded and signaled Chen Mo to leave.

Chen Mo sighed helplessly, said goodbye and left.

After leaving the cell, Chen Mo was about to work up his strength when he saw Cui Geng coming over in a hurry. The guard officer in charge of the lookout also came back quickly. When he saw Chen Mo, he quickly said: "Chen Mo, that eunuch... Shuo Gong has entered the camp.

!”

Cui Geng ran over and said: "Chen Mo, Shuo Gong has gathered all the generals and come with me quickly."

"Okay!" Chen Mo nodded and left side by side with Cui Geng.

Before arriving at the school grounds, I saw the flags fluttering on the school grounds, the evil spirit was overwhelming, the swords were blazing, and many people had gathered in the school grounds.

"These are..." Chen Mo asked curiously.

"Elite soldiers from various states and counties are also part of this new army. In addition, Luoyang City has already openly recruited brave men to join the new army. We are waiting for these people. So Qian Shuo summoned us this time, probably for the purpose of conferring generals.

"Cui Geng grinned and said, in this way, he is a general with military power. Although the rank is not too high, these soldiers are a strong army at first glance. If there is a war in the future, why worry about not having merit?

"There are a lot of people, two thousand people!" Chen Mo glanced at it briefly and exclaimed. Two thousand people may not sound like a lot, but now the entire Luoyang includes the Chengmen School Captain, the Fifth School of the Northern Army, and the Guard Department.

, the total number of soldiers and horses in Guangluxun's department is less than 20,000. They usually perform their duties, and many of them even fight outside. In fact, the number of soldiers and horses in Luoyang definitely does not exist at present.

The two thousand people in front of us are only part of the new army. Nowadays, Luoyang and its surrounding areas are still recruiting a large number of soldiers. Based on this, it can be inferred that the number of the new army must at least double or triple.

"How do you know?" Cui Geng asked curiously.

"If it is a 100-man square, there will be ten columns vertically and horizontally. Look at the numbers vertically and horizontally, 40 vertically and 50 horizontally. That is twenty 100-man squares. There will be discrepancies, but the number is not more than two thousand." Chen Mo.

He smiled and said, this kind of square formation is also the best for counting troops. Like the legendary Han Xin's method of counting troops, it is a little more complicated. You need to know the approximate range, look at the number of vertical and horizontal directions, and understand the algorithm. It is not difficult to calculate.

It's just a matter of speed.

These soldiers and horses are different from the Northern Army in Luoyang. Before they get close, you can feel a ferocious aura. Two thousand people stand in one place, and the momentum is connected. Although it is invisible, it seems to have substance. It has not been fought before.

People, in front of him, will be timid before saying a word. As for the effect, you only need to look at Qian Shuo, who is standing on the stage with a pale face and weak legs, to know the effect.
