Chapter Ten: You're Just a Low-Ranking Soldier

  Since ancient times, special forces have been the ace of aces, the elite of elites.

  Special forces originated in Germany.

  Before World War II, in 1936, the head of German Supreme Command's Military Intelligence Bureau, Admiral Canaris, established the Brandenburg Special Forces. The members of this unit were all fluent in at least one foreign language and familiar with the situation in their respective countries. After the outbreak of World War II, the members of this unit infiltrated enemy countries to carry out extensive sabotage operations, achieving remarkable results. This established the main mode of operation for special forces around the world.

  Actually, in China as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, similar troops had already appeared. For example, Qi State's Jījī Knights, Zhao State's Hu Dao Knights, Qin Army's Tiěyīng Swordsmen, etc. Of course, there is also the most famous Xuānjiǎ Military of Tang Dynasty, and the Bèi Wèi Military in Yue Family Military also belongs to this category.

  But Du He's special forces team this time is fundamentally different from them.

  Whether it is Xuanjia Army or Beiwei Army, as long as they are brought out, they will have brilliant military achievements!

  As Li Shimin personally led the Xuanjia Army to defeat Dou Jiande's army of 100,000. Another example is that Yue Yun led the 800-strong Beiwei Army to resist the main force of the Jin State with a few dozen rounds of fierce battle, entering and exiting the enemy formation more than ten times, suffering over a hundred wounds. Historical records show that these Beiwei soldiers were killed one by one until "men became blood men, horses became blood horses!"

  These are all seasoned veterans, and just saying them out loud is enough to command respect.

  But Du He's special forces this time were not among the elite of these elites.

  He wants to create a mysterious troop that has never been exposed, and no one knows of their existence, as a trump card on the battlefield, able to turn the tide at critical moments, even sacrificing themselves in exchange for a decisive victory.

  It's not easy to achieve this, but for Du He, it's not very difficult!

  Because he practiced internal power and agility, "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" recorded not only Chu Liuxiang's unparalleled internal power "Five Qi to the Origin" and his unparalleled physical skills "Treading on the Moon with a Fragrant Step", but also the inner strength techniques of the Dà Qí Mén (Great Flag Gate) as well as some martial arts agility techniques.

  These may not be as good as the "Five Elements of Morning", but they are also a profound skill, and as long as they learn to achieve something, they will become a fairly formidable team.

  His only concern was loyalty, and his inner strength was the ultimate skill that allowed him to survive in the great Tang Dynasty.

  So he didn't want to cultivate a group of rebellious disciples to deal with him, but this worry was soon dispelled by Du He.

  Neigong has several types and emphasizes gradual progress.

  Du He's "Wu Qi Chao Yuan" is a top-notch internal skill, the rest of the Tie Xue Da Qi Men's skills are first-rate, and there is also the simplest breathing method. This is an introductory mind method that anyone can learn, but even if you practice for 40 or 50 years, your achievements will be limited.

  You can first teach them the most basic breathing method, and then select a trusted person to pass on the mental method of the Iron Blood Great Flag Gate.

  The Tiexue Dàqí Mén's mental discipline has a total of nine levels, each level is taught separately.

  To learn a new level, one must obtain corresponding merits and make Du He more at ease with loyalty.

  If someone really learns to the ninth level, that is an unknown number of times of life and death together with brothers. For such a brother, what else can Du He not let go? Moreover, at that time, Du He's "Five Elements Return to Origin" had already been practiced to the highest realm, who in the world could tolerate him?

  Du Ruohui was a noble prime minister and had 1,300 households of real fiefs, but because his fiefdom was in the state of Cai, he had to go to the state of Cai to select them.

  Since the goal has been decided, Du He also resigned from his honorary position as a student of the Hongwen Academy. Because in half a month he will be crowned and become an adult, with Du He's identity this adulthood, the court will have rewards coming down, appointing him as a court official, officially serving the Great Tang, and there is no need to read this book anymore.

  Du He bid farewell to Princess Chang Le and Li Xueyan, the two women were reluctant to part with him, but they also knew that their beloved was a man of great ambition and would not be deterred.

  Li Xueyan reluctantly said: "Leaving school, it will be difficult to see each other again!"

  Princess Chang Le didn't say it out loud, but her eyes meant the same thing.

  Du He smiled and comforted: "Don't be gloomy, just smile. At most, I'll find time to visit you, the Ren City Wang Fu is a familiar road, as for the Imperial Palace, I have Uncle Li's token, take advantage of it, I believe Uncle Li won't be so petty!"

  After Du He said that, Li Xueyan also smiled and said: "Then we have a deal!" She stretched out her little thumb to hook.

  Du He shook his head and smiled bitterly, stretching out his little finger to pull hers!

  Princess Chang Le said in a low voice: "I'll wait for you!"

  Since Empress Zhangsun took it upon herself to have Du He inscribe the painting, Princess Yongle also knew that Du He was not innocent towards her and became bolder in her words and actions. If it were in the past, this would be something she definitely wouldn't say!

  "Want to come too!" Du He stretched out her little finger.

  Princess Chang Le also stretched out her little finger, and the two fingers hooked together.

  Then, Du He bid farewell to Luo Tong!

  Luotong looked at Duhe in surprise and asked: "Why did you suddenly drop out of school?"

  Luo Tong was no stranger either, and Du He immediately explained the whole story from beginning to end.

  Luo Tong's face lit up with excitement as he jumped up and exclaimed: "You're telling the truth! There really is going to be a battle!"

  "I think so!" Du He nodded, this guess was at least 70% sure.

  Luo Tong didn't hesitate and immediately said: "Wait for me, I'll go with you!" As he spoke, he actually started packing his things.

  Looking at Du He's astonished gaze, Luo Tong replied while putting away his sword: "I'm the same as Fang Yi Ai, I like to practice martial arts. The difference is that I've been practicing since I was young and my mother didn't stop me. My greatest ambition is to be like my father, to go into battle, kill enemies, and make achievements! It's just that last time they thought I was too young and wouldn't let me join the army. Now that I'm sixteen, how can this upcoming battle do without Luo Tong!"

  His face was filled with excitement, apparently the idea of going into battle had been anticipated for a long time.

  If it weren't for offending Wei Zhengdu, Li Shimin would have forced him to come to the Hongwen Academy to study in order to avoid this little tyrant from causing more trouble. Luo Tong wouldn't waste his time coming here at all.

  The two dropped out of school one after another.

  As they walked along the road, Du He asked Luo Tong about his plans for coming here.

  "Study the art of war, practice martial arts, and wait for the opportunity to show off your skills!" As he spoke, he even made a gesture of thrusting his spear at an enemy on the street!

  "What about you?" he asked Du He back.

  "First go to Cai Di, gather some old soldiers who followed my father in the past, then hold a coronation ceremony. Let's see what official position the imperial court will give me! I hope it's not an idle post, best if I can lead troops. More or less, doesn't matter." Du He was also thinking about what position Li Shimin would give him.

  Luo Tong's heart skipped a beat as he asked: "How about this, I'll let you go and be a low-ranking soldier under my command?"

  Du He was stunned, how could he not know Luo Tong's martial arts? This guy looked handsome and elegant, but fierce like Zhang Fei. In a one-on-one fight, Du He wondered if he could beat him, but on the battlefield, it was certain that Luo Tong's killing would intimidate the enemy far more than his own.

  After all, this Little Overlord's reputation isn't just for show!

  Such a talent, wherever it is placed, even if it's not at the general level, it should be at least at the school or lieutenant colonel level. To use it as a small soldier would be a waste!
