Naturally, nothing would happen to Tang Haochu as Fu Chengyan was worried about, but he encountered a small problem.The [-] soldiers stationed on the border of Beizhou have always been led by veteran Sui Zhen, and they only obeyed Sui Zhen alone. Especially when they preconceived that Tang Haochu was too young and had little combat experience, they began to disobey Tang Haochu's orders openly and secretly. instruction.In addition, these soldiers have not fought for many years and are used to living a comfortable life, and Tang Haochu's military training methods are very strict, which can be called devil training, and their resentment is even greater.

Among them, Sui Zhen's sitting idly by also contributed to the flames to a certain extent. The army is the place that pays the most attention to merit and seniority. Even though Tang Haochu is Tang Liming's successor, he has successfully suppressed bandits many times under Tang Liming's arrangement. Li is still not qualified to be a coach.

In fact, Tang Haochu didn't care about Sui Zhen's attitude at all, and he didn't care about the mere 5000 people. He had already established a comprehensive and complete succession team. There was no shortage of useful generals or well-trained soldiers. Not to mention, Xu Xingfu alone brought a total of [-] elite soldiers.

Xu Xingfu was picked up by Tang Haochu from the Beizhou Military Academy. He is capable and loyal. These [-] elite soldiers were replaced with a new type of rifle modified by Tang Haochu himself and mass-produced, which is full of lethality.So Tang Haochu can wait for the first battle to be victorious before punishing Sui Zhen and his subordinates. Firstly, there is not enough time—the horn of war has already sounded, and time cannot be wasted; secondly, it will be easier to rectify after winning the battle. , but also more convincing.

But the character of the little big brother is here, and no one will be allowed to be contemptuous, even if it is only a momentary contempt.This is the case in the last days, you give an inch, and the other party will advance three feet. Some people never know what is enough.What's more, what Tang Haochu wanted to do was not only to take over from Tang Liming's class to lead Beizhou, but also wanted to expand the territory from blue to blue, and to accommodate other states under his rule.The rulers in troubled times are different from those in peaceful and prosperous times. They want to establish their prestige from the very beginning, they want to live in people's admiration and fear.

The sun was about to set, and today's training was over, but Tang Haochu ordered Liu Ying to call all the five thousand soldiers under Sui Zhen.

After training for a day, these soldiers were full of resentment. Tang Haochu rode a horse and waited on the training ground. It took him a long time to wait for the procrastinating soldiers. Some of them even couldn't find an excuse to come.So he asked Liu Ying to take the guards directly to drag the man to the training ground, no matter what excuse the man used.

In the twinkling of an eye, only one line of the sun is left, and the people are finally complete.After counting the number of people, Tang Haochu rode his horse to the front of the phalanx, and looked back and forth among the soldiers expressionlessly.

——From the appearance, the little big brother is no different from other ordinary teenagers, and he looks younger than his actual age. When he is sitting quietly, he seems to be well-behaved and harmless, even because his appearance is very delicate and good-looking , It will make people unable to bear contempt and other thoughts that they shouldn't have.But at this moment, he was riding a tall horse, his eyes were getting darker and darker and the fierce murderous look on his body couldn't be concealed, which made people feel a little frightened for no reason.

Because this murderous aura is different from ordinary people's murderous aura full of anger, it is only after the training of blood. The soldiers are feeling the pressure because of this invisible murderous aura, Tang Haochu suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, stopping the shock He looked anxiously, and then pulled out his horsewhip without warning, aiming at a soldier's knee and slamming it down.

The whip full of tenacity screamed in the wind and made a piercing sound. The man was still thinking about why Tang Hao had the murderous aura of a veteran who had fought in the battlefield all year round at a young age, so he felt a pain in his knee and fell to his knees with a plop on the ground.

——The little boss was not pacing back and forth on horseback just now, but was using his abilities to detect the degree of malice that everyone had towards him.Even if there is a gang of mobs, there will be a leader, and this person is the one who takes the lead and refuses to obey him, and is also the most malicious.

After the man fell to the ground, the soldiers on the left and right immediately bent over to help him, but they were also whipped the next moment they bent down.Naturally, these three were not the only ones who were beaten, and almost everyone who was dissatisfied with Tang Haochu was whipped.

They were in so much pain that they couldn't even get up, and their expressions were filled with resentment and resentment. They were about to ask Tang Haochu why he did it for no reason, but Tang Haochu took the first step and said in a cold voice: "One, the military order is like a mountain. As a general, I order you to assemble , but you procrastinate or even evade for no reason. You don’t have the basic qualities that soldiers must abide by. Second, after queuing up, not only are the lines uneven, you can’t stand upright, and you don’t have the basic physique that soldiers should have. ——How can such a person You can call it a soldier, but it's a waste, Beizhou doesn't need this kind of waste!"

This is actually true, but some people just never understand what reflection is, and Tang Haochu stopped talking nonsense, picked up a whip and casually pointed at the dissatisfied person closest to him, "Why, are you dissatisfied?"

As soon as the soldier got up from the ground, the slender whip wrapped around his shoulders again like a snake, and he felt that the voice of the young man in front of him was like a snake spitting out letters, with icy cold air creeping up Touching his heart, he couldn't help but be filled with fear, the instinctive fear of the strong that the weak who is not controlled by the brain even made him tremble.

Weak people often don't hate their own weakness and incompetence, but only hate those who oppressed him when he was weak, so his hatred for Tang Haochu became deeper, and he didn't know where the courage came from, loudly said: "Say we are not qualified to be soldiers , What qualifications do you have to be a commander! You are not old enough and seniority is not enough, and there are endless scandals in the newspapers. General Sui has led the army for decades, but he still listens to your command, I refuse to accept!!"

Tang Haochu actually raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Is this your idea, or Sui Zhen's idea?"

"Of course it's my own idea," the other party replied immediately, "It has nothing to do with General Sui!"

Tang Haochu was noncommittal, and only repeated once: "Are you really dissatisfied?"

"Dissatisfied!"

Tang Haochu raised his eyebrows, and then raised his voice to the entire training ground and asked, "Who else is not convinced?"

As soon as the words were finished, voices sounded one after another from all corners:

"I don't agree!"

"And I!"

"I'm not convinced either!"

……

Tang Haochu raised his eyes and glanced around, and used his amazing memory to memorize the locations of all the dissatisfied people.The corners of his lips were still slightly hooked, but when he was smiling, he took out the gun he carried with him, raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

bang bang bang-

Before the soldiers could react, they heard the sound of gunshots, and there were six shots in succession.Wherever the bullet fell, someone's blood would be splashed on the spot, it was a fatal shot.Those who died were all the people who had just shouted dissatisfaction - only to see that the bullet was right between their eyebrows, and none of them escaped.

There was no time for the crowd to panic because of the death, and it was too late to protest or condemn Tang Haochu's cold-bloodedness, because the shock emotion had already occupied the whole brain. ——The few soldiers who shouted disobedience were scattered in almost every corner of the phalanx. It took a lot of effort just to identify the exact location of each person, but the young man in front of him was able to kill them one by one without even spending time aim.

This marksmanship is so accurate that it is terrifying, not to mention Sui Zhen, even any professionally trained sharpshooter can't match it.Especially the soldiers who stood close to the people who were killed had a deeper understanding of this, because the bullets passed by them, and then hit the target accurately, simply and neatly.

Tang Haochu once again raised his voice to the entire training ground and asked, "Who else is not convinced?"

This time the training ground was completely silent, and no one responded. The soldiers were obviously still terrified by his precise marksmanship, and they no longer felt that the young man in front of him was not qualified to be a leader. ——The boy has changed from a weak and incompetent cub to a beast that is good at dormant. The figure hidden in the grass looks lazy and harmless, but it can jump up in an instant and bite people into pieces.

Sui Zhen rushed over at this time.

Before Tang Haochu called the soldiers to the training ground, he didn't inform Sui Zhen, and now he didn't say hello to Sui Zhen when he shot and killed. He said quickly: "Young commander, this is murder, how can you be so careless about human life! They are soldiers from Beizhou, not enemies!!"

Tang Haochu fixedly looked at Sui Zhen for a long while, and even saw that Sui Zhen was a little hairy, and then asked: "General Sui, the military law of Beizhou, knows about it?"

Sui Zhen nodded subconsciously.

As Tang Haochu said, the corners of his lips curled up again, revealing a sneer.It's good that he didn't smile, but this smile has an indescribable evil oncoming, it seems that the originally slender and harmless appearance has been completely uncovered, revealing the frightening true face, "It turns out that General Sui knew that they were soldiers from Beizhou , I also know the military law of Beizhou."

The voice of the little boss was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present: "Article [-] of the military law, those who do not obey military orders and are difficult to educate, shall be punished with death. Capital crime.——I executed soldiers who committed crimes according to military law, which is reasonable and legal, so how did it become a disregard for human life?"

Sui Zhen frowned and retorted: "Even if the military law is like this, it should be educated first..."

In fact, if there were other methods, Tang Haochu would not choose this one. This method is indeed too simple and crude, but it is fast and effective.Tang Haochu directly interrupted Sui Zhen and said, "As a soldier, I can't even complete the basic training, and I still don't obey the military order. Do you think that if you persuade them well, you can make them change their past and boost their morale?"

Sui Zhen opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. Tang Haochu glanced at him, and continued: "Compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth. It would be too naive for General Sui to have such thoughts. They know that the military order is like a mountain and the military law is ruthless, so they will be inspired with real morale. What's more, the death of a few people now is to save more people in the future, otherwise, according to the performance of those people, going to the battlefield will only drag down other well-trained soldiers, and may even affect the outcome of the entire battle—if this crime is pursued, who can afford it?"

Sui Zhen didn't even open his mouth because he couldn't say a word. Tang Haochu helped Sui Zhen think of what he could say: "Actually, General Sui should thank me."

The little boss paused slightly, "They were originally your soldiers, and you should have executed them in accordance with the law, but I consider that General Sui will wait two years at most before retiring, and I can't bear to see you commanding soldiers with a benevolent image. After many years, at the end of the day, people criticized you for being hypocritical and kind, not to mention that people tend to soften their hearts when they are old, so they bear this bad reputation for you."

Sui Zhen was so angry that he couldn't speak this time, but no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do.Tang Haochu didn't look at him anymore, he rode past him, walked to the front of the army again, and asked for the last time: "Who else is not convinced? Stand up!"

While speaking, he moved gracefully and quickly reloaded the gun, as if what he was holding was not a killing gun, but an attractive reward.

The huge training ground was so silent that even a needle could be heard dropped, and the soldiers didn't even dare to breathe.Seeing that no one complained about dissatisfaction for a long time, Tang Haochu seemed a little disappointed. He put down his gun and said, "In this case, please strictly observe military discipline from now on. Military law is merciless and you must be punished if you do something wrong. You must be rewarded, as long as you make military exploits on the battlefield, Beizhou will never treat you badly,...do you remember?"

After the audience was silent for two seconds, there was a neat reply: "Yes!"

This sound was not only neat, but also extremely loud, and it felt like the state of the entire army was different.The soldiers were obviously shocked. They just thought that Tang Haochu was not capable and experienced enough before, and they were not stupid enough to risk their lives. Now that they saw Tang Haochu's methods, how dare they refuse to accept it, and even developed a deep-seated fear of Tang Haochu.

Teenagers are really scary.

Not only the marksmanship is terrible, the means are terrible, the cruelty is terrible, even the way he smiles is terrible.

But this was not Tang Haochu's scariest time.

Because they soon realized that Tang Haochu on the battlefield was truly terrifying.

He seems to be able to predict the movement of the enemy, deduce the change of the opponent's formation, can accurately and effectively issue offensive instructions, rush into the formation to kill the enemy regardless of danger, and even target the enemy general at a distance of thousands of meters. The key point, directly take its life.The blood splashed on his face, making his porcelain-like face even whiter. When he was sitting quietly, he still looked like a young boy, but no one dared to underestimate him.

The Beizhou army won the first battle and directly broke through Yizhou's defense line. Yizhou's two cities adjacent to the border of Beizhou were all lost.After the news came out, many newspapers reported the news, and Fu Chengyan learned about it from the shopkeeper of the bank branch earlier.

Fu Chengyan imagined the appearance of a young man fighting, and felt proud at the same time as he was worried, and the shadowy longing also came to him, making it difficult for him to sleep peacefully.He heard that the front line could also receive telegrams and letters, so he wanted to write a letter to Tang Haochu, looking for an outlet to confide in his thoughts, but he couldn't finish it after a long time.

With love in my heart, it's hard to keep writing.I dare not write about the clear sky and bright sun, I am afraid to remember the bright and moving smile of the young man, I dare not write about the moon and stars, I am afraid to recall the eyes of the young man that seem to be full of stars, I dare not write about the drizzle and the breeze, I am afraid to remember that the young man is not by my side, My heart felt like it had gone through a violent storm, and it kept crashing.

The battle on Tang Haochu's side was also like a storm, and it developed very rapidly. After the first battle, there were two consecutive victories, which were like breaking a bamboo.Yang Lu, the commander-in-chief of Yizhou, was not popular with the people. Under his leadership, Yizhou, which was considered wealthy, became the weakest state. The soldiers surrendered directly to the Beizhou Army under Tang Haochu's policy of 'If you don't kill the soldiers, you won't harm the people'.

And it took Fu Chengyan another full day to finally finish writing the letter.

He went to the post office to post the registered mail in person, and when he drove to the corner and waited for the tram to pass by at the intersection, he faintly heard a familiar tune amidst the noise, and he froze for a while.

——Because this tune was exactly the one that Tang Haochu played to him at the temple fair for the Autumn Festival that day.

The tram had already jingled away, and the driver was about to start, but was suddenly stopped by Fu Chengyan.The driver hurriedly braked the car, and was a little surprised to see their usually calm and calm boss get out of the car in a hurry, and hurried to the western restaurant across the street.

The sound came from the western restaurant on the opposite side. Fu Chengyan opened the door and went in, ignoring the waiter who came forward, just fixed his eyes on the phonograph that was playing, and asked, "What song is this?"

The waiter didn't know, but the owner of the restaurant came over and replied, "This record is sent by my friend from abroad. It seems to be the work of a pianist who is popular abroad recently..."

As he spoke, he enthusiastically found the outer packaging of the record on the counter, and then read in half-baked English to the track list on it: "The song that is playing now is called Youaremyloverinmypastlifeandthislife..."

Fu Chengyan, who had studied abroad, immediately translated: You are my lover in past and present lives.

The restaurant owner saw that the expression of the man in front of him changed from stunned to surprise to uncontrollable excitement, his whole body trembled slightly, and his dark eyes were shining brightly.

Fu Chengyan bought the record at a high price.

Walking out of the restaurant with the record in hand, I suddenly longed to see Tang Haochu. Once this kind of thought arises, I can't suppress it. For a moment, my mind is full of the boy's face, and my ears are full of his voice, and I think of the day when the boy forced him to admit that he Do you really like him?

He wanted to come to him and tell him in person how deeply he liked him, not just liking him so much, but loving him so much, to the bottom of his heart.

After all, Fu Chengyan couldn't help leaving.He first took the train to Yanshi in Beizhou, and then transferred to Hongcheng next to Yizhou, where the Shunxing Chamber of Commerce also had a bank.According to the accurate information found by the shopkeeper, the Beizhou Army is now stationed in Anzhen, Yizhou. It is only a two-hour drive from Hongcheng to Anzhen, but a pass is required to enter Anzhen.

It's still the same old saying that money can turn ghosts. Even though it was very difficult to get a pass, Fu Chengyan still got it and contacted a person who responded.The person who responded to him sent him all the way to the logistics department of the barracks, but he didn't dare to send him any further, saying: "The young commander is currently training in the training ground, and the training ground in front of him is absolutely not allowed to go. To find someone, you have to wait until the training is over and it’s time for dinner before you have a chance to go there.”

He didn't know that Fu Chengyan was looking for the young marshal, he only thought that Fu Chengyan was looking for some ordinary officer or soldier, he paused and said: "Military discipline is strict, outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission, although you can go to the camp to find someone during dinner time, but it only takes a quarter of an hour It’s time, and it’s over once it’s found out. It’s still a long time before dinner time, if you don’t have something urgent, you’d better leave as soon as possible and don’t wait here.”

Fu Chengyan's expression seemed to be full of patience, and he stood there calmly and said, "It's okay, I can wait."

Fu Chengyan waited like this from noon until evening. Seeing the sunset gradually sinking to the west, he finally couldn't help but go to the training ground, wanting to take a look at Tang Haochu from afar.

It was too far away, Fu Chengyan couldn't see Tang Haochu's face, but he recognized his profile at a glance.Fu Chengyan tried his best to open his eyes wide, and vaguely saw the young man's cold expression and indifferent eyes. The figure on the horse was carrying the setting sun behind his back, but it seemed to be shining from head to toe.

Fu Chengyan really likes him like this. Even if he has a blank face on the floor, he feels that every part of his body exudes an irresistible charm.

The training was finally over, Tang Haochu didn't let Liu Ying follow, and walked back to the military tent alone, but he keenly felt that there was someone nearby.The muzzle of the gun was silently aimed at the back of the opponent's head, only to realize that the opponent was Fu Chengyan.

He didn't expect Fu Chengyan to come, his first reaction was not joy, but frowning, "Why are you here?"

Fu Chengyan said truthfully, "I miss you."

Tang Haochu paused for a moment because of this sentence, but he still had to keep a cold face to let the other party understand the danger of the battlefield: "You know where this is, this is the frontline battlefield! The enemy's outposts are in Anzhen and Qingshan Town At the border, military rifles can kill people thousands of meters away, not to mention other weapons, accidents may happen at any time, we can't take any chances!"

Fu Chengyan stood there quietly and listened to Tang Haochu's training. He was not angry at all, but showed a slight smile, and his usual stern eyebrows were also gentle, "I'm here, and you can't drive me away at this point Let's go, don't be angry, huh? Actually, I just want to meet you and have a word with you. "

As he spoke, he pulled out Tang Haochu's hand, and gently caressed the boy's face with the other hand, his expression was unprecedentedly gentle and serious, as if he had delivered the most real and softest part, "I love you, I love you very, very much."

Tang Haochu seemed a little shy by the sudden love words, he was stunned for a while before he realized, and hastily pulled his hand away.The twitch hurt his arm, and he couldn't help but frowned and hissed.

Fu Chengyan noticed it immediately, and asked nervously and worriedly, "Are you injured?"
