Hou Dayong led the soldiers to the ten-mile cross-country road. As soon as he arrived at the camp gate, he saw Dou Tian waiting in the camp gate. When he saw Hou Dayong, he bowed. Dou Tian said in great admiration: "The commander Hou Du is really reborn Lu Ban. I made a bellows according to the style you painted. Now the firepower has increased a lot. In the future, the Black Eagle Army can use good swords." Hou Dayong drew several other tools commonly used by scouts, asking Dou Tian to build it. Seeing that he had never seen the things he painted, Dou Tian thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, General, I should be able to do it."

In the morning, Hou Dayong gathered the entire Black Eagle Army and carried out a synthetic drill according to the tactics discussed with Shi Hu. The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Regiment had different weapons and their proficiency in cooperating with each other determine whether they could exert their full combat power.

Hou Dayong stood in the center of the playground, with drummers, trumpeters, flag soldiers, and commanders standing behind, and ten hard archers standing on both sides. The officers and soldiers of the Lion Camp were the central army, and the reserve team Hou was on one side.

Hou Dayong shouted at the entire army: "The first formation of exercises - breaking the enemy."

This is the tactic used by the Black Eagle Army when fighting with enemies of similar strength. The key point is to use long-range weapons such as crossbows and arrows to consume the enemy as much as possible, and then give full play to the rapid advantages of the cavalry, concentrate the new force to charge, and win in one battle.

"The tiger camp crossbowman is ready." Hou Dayong made an order. "Shoot."

The drummer and flag mutiny change the corresponding signal.

Sixty-six crossbowmen in the Tiger Camp stepped forward, fired crossbow arrows, and retreated after the launch. Immediately afterwards, the second group of sixty-six crossbowmen stepped forward, and then sixty-eight crossbowmen stepped forward. The three-wheeled crossbowmen kept shooting in turn.

When the enemy entered the archery journey, Hou Dayong shouted: "Be prepared for bows and arrows."

At this time, the tiger camp continued to use crossbows, and a thousand feather arrows from the other battalions flew forward in densely. Among them, the ten arrows behind Hou Dayong's range far exceeded the other arrows.

"Wolf Camp attack."

Two hundred wolf camp members assaulted the enemy, but did not approach the enemy. When they reached the middle of the journey, they took out their bows and arrows to shoot, and then ran away from a distance, shooting while running, attracting the enemy to pursue them, so as to disrupt the enemy's deployment and consume their living power. After the bear camp, leopard camp and tiger camp rushed out, they would circle back and raid from behind.

"Bear camp, leopard camp, tiger camp attack."

Two hundred spear players were in front, two hundred sword players and two hundred tiger camp players were behind, and quickly assaulted the enemy.

"Lion Camp attack." Two hundred Lion Camp soldiers attacked the enemy's central army.

The whole drill went smoothly. Before the drill, Hou Dayong and Shi Hu had a dispute. Hou Dayong asked everything to be carried out according to actual combat standards and the arrow must be shot out. Shi Hu was worried that the shooting would be damaged, so he could just show it. In the end, Hou Dayong decided to make the decision to shoot the arrow and try to get close to the actual combat.

After this exercise, the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion increased their confidence. Hou Dayong and several lieutenants carefully considered it, and finally officially named the formation as the "Breaking the Enemy" style.

"I haven't been home for several days, so how pleasant it is to take a shower." When it was Shi Hu's turn to be on duty, Hou Dayong took a vacation to return home.

Since she was intimate with Qiuju, Hou Dayong thought that this was an inevitable result, so she was not so dedication. Qiuju was shy than Chunlan, and Hou Dayong slowly guided her, and hugged her when she got home and took the time to hug her. The three of them were together happily.

When Hou Dayong bid farewell to the military camp, he couldn't help but blew a whistle that had not been blown for a long time.

After entering the city, Hou Dayong and his group came to a small shop similar to modern ladies' specialty. There were five or six horses in front of the store. Seeing that the horses were very strong, Hou Dayong took a look.

Hou Dayong wanted to buy some beautiful cloth for the two women. As long as they were girls, they loved to dress up, and no one in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad could do so. Hou Dayong was really embarrassed to buy women's belongings, so he asked the school to help.

Hou Dayong was riding the "wind" and was waiting for the primary school, but he heard the primary school quarrel with someone. Then, the primary school was kicked out of the small shop. The primary school was bleeding from the nose and was very embarrassed.

When Hou Dayong saw that the school was beaten and was about to find out the situation, he saw a person coming out of the store. It was Zhao Wen, the commander of the Zhechong, and laughed mockingly, "I tell you who it is. The commander of the Hou Dayong is so elegant that he sent soldiers to buy women's belongings." Seeing Zhao Wen's rude words, Hou Dayong said, "I just asked the soldiers to buy them. I don't like Zhao's official position and I have to choose them myself. I am so handsome and ashamed of myself." Zhao Wen immediately changed his face: "I have official duties, so when I have time to go to the store to do that woman's business, and Zhao is deeply ashamed of his colleagues with Hou Dayong."

"Stay, stay steady." Hou Dayong recited it twice in his mind. Whenever he encountered a special situation, he would remind himself that this was a magic weapon passed down to him by an old superior. Although it was simple, it was practical. In his previous office, he also hung a banner that said "Every time you encounter major events, you will be calm."

"Hou Dayong, you bullyed others and injured Zhao Wu, and even accused Zhao Wu of taking your sword. He is a hero. Do you dare to come to the competition? I will compete with you."

Hou Dayong said lightly: "I met a mad dog when I went out today."

At this time, several more people came out of the store assistant. One of them was a woman with green and moths, a crow yellow forehead, a branch like a willow, and a hair like a cloud. She wore a purple gauze dress on her upper body, which was noble and elegant.

She had heard the conversation between Hou Dayong and Zhao Wen, and came out. When she saw a thick officer sitting on the horse, she glanced at Hou Dayong with contempt and said to Zhao Wu: "Emperor Zhao, go, ignore this fool." After that, she turned over and rode her horse and left.

When Hou Dayong saw such a beautiful woman, his eyes lit up. When he heard the beauty say this, he was furious for some reason, but the beauty left after saying that, and did not give him any chance to explain or fight back, which made Hou Dayong very brave. When he arrived at the mansion, Hou Dayong had recovered his calmness. He was not surprised by the anger that suddenly came up today.

During dinner, Hou Dayong, Chunlan and Qiuju sat together. In order to adjust the atmosphere, Hou Dayong thought of a modern joke and told it to the two women.

Hou Dayong said quietly: A passerby approached a family and wanted to ask for a bowl of water. Seeing a little boy sitting at the door, a big dog lying beside him, he stopped early and asked, "Do your dog bite?" "Don't bite." The child replied. The passerby walked over with confidence, and suddenly the dog rushed up and bit his ankle. The passerby beat the dog away and asked the child angrily, "Didn't you say that."

Don't your dog bite people? You're lying to the face, you're so dishonest!" "Who's not honest?" the little boy replied, "My dog ​​won't bite people!" "I'm still saying I won't bite! Your dog doesn't bite people, where does the blood on your legs come from?" The passerby covered his wounds while talking. "That's the neighbor's dog. If you don't believe me, go and ask them." At this time, a puppy ran out of the door, and the child said, "This is my dog."

Chunlan heard this and blushed with a "giggle". Qiuju just smiled slightly. After Hou Dayong finished speaking, he continued to eat. Qiuju ate a few bites of food. Thinking of the bitten passerby, the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more funny. He couldn't help but lie on the table, his shoulders trembled, and he kept laughing.

At night, when Qiu Ju fell asleep, Chunlan walked to the inner room, took off her clothes, quietly got into Hou Dayong's quilt, and pressed against Hou Dayong tightly. Hou Dayong was awakened by Chunlan, and the tentacles were slippery, so she used her fingertips to wander around its sensitive parts. Chunlan turned over and lay on Hou Dayong, and the two entered the state of selflessness. When Chunlan got up and entered the inner room, Qiu Ju opened her eyes wide. After a while, there were sounds coming from the inner room. Qiu Ju bit her lower lip and clamped her legs.

According to old habits, Hou Dayong got up early in the morning, wore short clothes and practiced the five sword techniques of the He family in the yard. A few days ago, Hou Dayong took the time to discuss with Shi Hu many times. Because it was a competition, Hou Dayong could not use the secret moves and poisonous moves in the army, and his strength was greatly reduced. He was defeated by Shi Hu several times. However, Hou Dayong was the best in the three armies and did not meet an opponent. Hou Dayong was doing a handstand. Thinking back on Shi Hu's moves, Fu Gong sent an invitation to Guo Xingjian's 50th birthday.

Hou Dayong has always had a good impression of Guo Xingjian. He thought that Guo Xingjian was a literati and probably liked calligraphy and paintings of famous people. In Liu San's secret room, he saw a painting of Zhang Xu's "Four Ancient Poems". Hou Dayong knew Zhang Xu's name. When he saw Liu San put this post in the secret room, he thought it was very expensive. So he wrapped the post in paper and prepared it as a birthday gift.

Hou Dayong usually wears military uniforms. Today, he took a break from his busy schedule and asked Chunlan to find a casual outfit. When he saw Hou Dayong wearing military uniforms, Qiu Ju felt that it was very strange that Hou Dayong was wearing a fat casual outfit. He lowered his head and chuckled. Hou Dayong pulled Qiu Ju over and kissed him on his forehead, "Look, you dare to laugh at me." He turned Qiu Ju into a big blushing face.

Hou Dayong took Fu Gong and two accompanying schools to the Guo Mansion leisurely.

The Guo family was decorated with lanterns, and there were red couplets on the door. When the Guo family saw Hou Dayong just rolled up a paper tube, they muttered in their hearts, "Why is the commander of Hou Du so stingy?" Zhao Wen was also invited to come and gave the Guo family a beautiful Hetian jade horse. When they saw Hou Dayong empty-handed, they sneered twice in half mocking and half provocatively.

When Hou Dayong saw Guo Jiong welcome the guests in front of the door, he handed him the paper tube and said, "This is Zhang Xu's "Four Ancient Poems" and I believe the teacher likes it."

When Guo Jiong heard the "Four Ancient Poems" and his eyes suddenly shone. This was a treasure my father had been looking for for many years, but Hou Lang didn't expect that Hou Lang would send it. Guo Jiong asked the housekeeper to take Hou Dayong to the lobby to take his seat, and took the "Four Ancient Poems" to find his father. When Hou Dayong was just sitting in the lobby, Guo Xingjian hurried and bowed deeply to Hou Dayong, "How dare Guo take such a great gift?"

After Li Hui arrived at the Jiedushi, the dinner began. Li Hui sat on his head, next to him was a person he didn't know. Then, Guo Xingjian introduced the important guests to everyone. The person who talked to Li Hui was the special envoy of King Chai Rong of Jin. Chai Rong and Guo Xingjian had always been intimate. Although Guo Xingjian was more than ten years older than Chai Rong, the two regarded each other as close friends.

Guo Xingjian was a civil servant, and unlike Liu Cunxiao's mansion, he used meat and fish more often. His tableware was simple and elegant, and the dishes were matched with meat and vegetables, which was quite exquisite. There were some musicians sitting on one side of the lobby, and a musician was playing the piano music. Hou Dayong had never heard of this song, but only felt that the music was elegant. After the song, the envoy of Chai King applauded and praised: "Today I listened to a song "Falling Plum Blossoms", which made people feel sad and divorced."

Halfway through the banquet, the literati here began to talk about literature and books, and the military officers began to drink. Hou Dayong couldn't get in and could not do it, so he just lowered his head to eat vegetables and drink. Soon, Hou Dayong had enough food and drink, and wanted to leave, but he didn't see Guo Xingjian. Seeing that everyone was still in high spirits, he quietly withdrew and came to the yard. Thinking of the busy things in the army, he walked to the backyard and said goodbye to Guo Xingjian.

There were many flowers and plants planted in the backyard, and there was a pool next to the pool. Hou Dayong walked along the corridor. After turning a corner, two women came towards him, one of whom was the stunning beauty he saw yesterday. Hou Dayong recognized her at first glance, but the woman did not recognize Hou Dayong. Yesterday, she was just a hurry. Hou Dayong was dressed as a general at the time and changed into casual clothes at this time, so the woman did not recognize him. Seeing someone coming, the two women leaned against one side, leaned against him slightly, and gave way to Hou Dayong, which was very well-educated.

At this moment, Hou Dayong heard a scolding from behind, "Hou Dayong, a despicable villain." When he looked back, Zhao Wen followed him from behind. At this time, Hou Dayong made up his mind: "I have endured it many times. Today I want to teach Zhao Wen a lesson." Hou Dayong turned around and looked at Zhao Wen without saying a word. Zhao Wen approached and saluted the woman. When the woman heard Zhao Wen scolding, she realized that the person who came was the one he saw yesterday.

Hou Dayong observed the surrounding situation and the corridor was not wide. If he fought with Zhao Wen, there would be no room for maneuver. Zhao Wen is said to be the first person of the younger generation of the Zhao family. After a long journey to the battlefield, he should have some skills and should not be forced. He should use his strengths and defeat the enemy's shortcomings. He would accidentally throw him into the pool.

Seeing that Zhao Wen was very respectful to the woman, Hou Dayong had a plan and walked towards the woman. When the woman saw Hou Dayong approaching, she was furious and subconsciously retreated and leaned against the railing. Seeing this, Zhao Wen reached out to capture Hou Dayong. Zhao Wen happened to be trapped, and Hou Dayong was waiting for him to catch him. As soon as Zhao Wen touched Hou Dayong's shoulder, Hou Dayong quickly used a move to "push the window and look at the moon", which was an extremely small trick. Zhao Wen provoked several times, but Hou Dayong had not accepted the move, and he was already despised. Unexpectedly, Hou Dayong suddenly took action, without any sign, which caught him off guard. He felt his body tilted and fell into the pool with a "bang".

The pool was not deep, and Zhao Wen quickly stood up, mud and water mixed together, and he was extremely embarrassed. Hou Dayong made a deception and laughed at Zhao Wen in the water, "Haha, haha."

Hou Dayong waved to the beautiful woman and joked: "Little lady (Note: 1), I will leave, and there will be a time later." He left the beautiful woman with a chic back, but the woman was stunned by the sudden change.

As soon as Hou Dayong walked to the lobby, the school came over with a panic on his face and whispered to Hou Dayong: "I discovered the Khitan cavalry."
