Hanhou

The cook cooked the cattle and sheep, and the soldiers lined up to receive the meals.

The three leading teams, from the team leader to the captain, from the corporal leader to the soldiers, all held their heads high, holding steamed cakes in their hands, and the wooden bowls were filled with mutton soup with oily flakes, and there were large pieces of mutton in the soup. Lamb and lamb bones.

Not to mention that, the chef cut the roasted beef into large pieces, disassembled the beef leg, and under the envious eyes of a thousand soldiers, picked out the best part, spread it on the wooden board, and let the winning team do it by themselves Pick.

The three teams took the lead, and 150 soldiers lined up again. Their hands were full, and they simply bit the steamed cakes in their mouths. When it was their turn, they grabbed the whole piece of beef from the board regardless of the hot hands.

After receiving the meals, the soldiers gathered in one place, squatting or standing, eating and laughing, which was rare and easy.

Zhao Jia invited Wei and Tong to the guard room. On the table were sliced ​​roasted meat, mutton soup sprinkled with green onions, and steamed cakes just out of the cage.The sauce in the bean comes from the county city, with a spicy taste, it is very appetizing.

Wei and Tong had been in the livestock farm for a long time, so they knew Zhao Jia's style of work, so they were not polite to him. They each grabbed steamed cakes and wooden chopsticks, and ate with open appetite.

I have to admit that on the way of "eating", Zhao Jia dared to be the second, and no one in Yunzhong County could be the first.Such as dough cakes, buns, soup cakes, etc., all come from the Zhao family.Even the prefect's mansion would come to the Zhao family every now and then to learn scriptures.

It is reported that recently there have been more steamed stuffed buns wrapped in bean paste.

Both corn and wheat can be used as skins, and a little sugar is added to the stuffing, which has a sweet taste, and the price is slightly high.The border residents bought at most three or five, took them home, and gave them a taste for the children and the elderly.Hu Shang is rich and powerful, just like the steamed cakes with meat before, basically he bought a big basket at a time.

Although the demand is great, food is precious after all.A few days after the sale, there was no longer a cart selling bean buns in the city.

Many Hu merchants received wooden signs and rushed into the county town, but they didn't want to, but they were all in vain.Just as he was about to return home disappointed, he happened to see Shi Bing’s big truck. Based on the principle that he had to go back to Yunzhong City after a long time, he bought half a truckload of ice at a high price and prepared to transport it to Hu Shi for sale.

They wanted to buy a whole car, but Wei Qing and Zhao Ponu from Shibing didn't nod, and they didn't dare to play tricks in the city, so they could only pay for the ice and drive the carriage out of the city.

It's a pity that they are newcomers, and they didn't know the depth of Hushi, and they didn't know that the ice business in Hushi was monopolized by several Qiang tribes.With half a carload of ice, I thought I could make a lot of money, but I didn't make any money, and was beaten up by the Qiang people, almost losing my life.

The surrendered Qiang tribes are at odds, but at the moment of interest, it doesn't matter whether they have any bad ideas hidden in each other, whether they want to stab each other, they must have the final say on the ice business in Hu City, and no one else can intervene!

These people from the Dayue clan who came from afar did not know how deep the water was, so they dared to grab the meat from the tiger's mouth.If you don't teach them a lesson right away, the outsiders will definitely think that they are weak and easy to bully!

The Qiang tribe united together, and the Dayue clan was killed as an example to the monkeys and expelled from Hushi.

When the news came out, the Han merchants just laughed it off, and continued to sell the goods in the market. After the goods were traded, they organized a team in an orderly manner, put on carts, paid taxes to the city officials, and set off for the south together.

The Hu merchants did not have the confidence of the Han merchants, so they had to be careful and observe carefully for two days, and they had the bottom line in their hearts, and decided to be cautious in their actions in the future.At least when their own tribe stayed on the grasslands and did not descend to the Han like the Qiang tribe, they resolutely refused to touch some businesses.In order not to be beaten up like these Da Yuezhi people, and even be listed as a refusal to do business in Hushi.

Zhao Jia was training soldiers in the camp and rarely went back to the livestock farm, so he didn't know much about what happened in Hu City.

Both Wei and Tong were included in the cavalry and stationed on the border with Wei Yue, and they knew exactly what the Qiang tribe was doing.When the joke was told to Zhao Jia, instead of making the latter laugh as expected, it was seen that his brows were deeply furrowed, obviously lost in thought.

"County Zhao?"

"What does the third son say about this matter?" Is it a joke?

Seeing Zhao Jia's serious face, Wei Shan and Wei Tong looked at each other, and suddenly remembered that Wei Yue didn't laugh when he heard about this, but was just like Zhao Jia in front of him, with a serious expression, and wrote a letter that day, and sent someone back to the prefect's mansion .

"The third son said that the Qiang people are growing, and they should be suppressed." Wei Shan said.

In the eyes of most Han cavalry, Qiang, Di, Xianbei, etc. are miscellaneous Hus, the generation of slaves, and the Huns are their opponents.Wei Yue and Zhao Jia were naturally somewhat puzzled by the seriousness shown.

"That's good." Zhao Jia breathed a sigh of relief, shaking his head and laughing.

He thought badly.

She can find something wrong by herself, let alone Wei Yue.

The matter was brought before Wei Taishou. With the wisdom and means of the county boss, what he was worried about was basically impossible to happen.

Calculating the time, the farm will become busier and busier as the autumn harvest approaches.At that time, Wei Qing and Zhao Ponu will go to the field to help, and Shi Bing's business will come to an end.Cut off the interests, just to take the opportunity to see whether these Qiang tribes will continue to unite, or will become a mess and restart the mutual bite mode.

If things don't happen by chance, the Qiang tribe really has the potential to be twisted into a rope, and the big bosses in the county will definitely cut the rope.After chopping it down, I felt that it was not safe, and I would burn it with a fire, and it would never bury any hidden dangers for Bianjun.

After eating, the bowls and plates were removed, Zhao Jia drank half a cup of cool fruit soup, and informed Wei and Tong of the upcoming training plan.

Before arriving at the barracks, Wei Tong and Wei Shan had made many plans, even if Zhao Jia ordered them to teach riding formation, they could think of a way.Unexpectedly, Zhao Jia didn't mention it, but assigned them a task that they never thought of.

"Continue to practice running?" Wei Tong was stunned.

"Of course." Zhao Jia nodded and drank the cup of wild fruit soup.

It's not that he doesn't want to practice cavalry, but that he needs to eat at one bite, and do things one by one, and he can't take too many steps at once, otherwise it will easily pull his hips.You have to slow down even if you run eight hundred, and you suddenly jump high to challenge Everest. This is not bravery, but stupidity.

The reason why the pawns are arranged to have three meals a day and to slaughter fat sheep every other day is to replenish their physical strength so that they can persevere in the high-intensity training.

After preliminary tempering, the five-hundred-watch soldier passed the test physically, and the formation was well practiced.The next step is to start adding codes.For this reason, Zhao Jia asked Wei Yue for a loan.

"What do you two think?" Zhao Jia put down the soup bowl, and glanced at the two of them.

Wei Tong and Wei Shan were suspicious, but they received military orders before coming, so they should act according to the orders.Immediately stood up, clasped fists, and took orders in unison.

Zhao Jia nodded in satisfaction, summoned the civil servants and ordered them to follow the plan.

The pawns who had eaten lined up again, moved the leftover wood and stones from outside the camp to build houses, and piled up ten piles in front of the school yard according to the instructions of the small official.

The two civil servants had known the plan earlier, and the junior officials present had heard a little bit, exchanged glances with each other, looked at the five hundred watchmen in front of them, and sneered.

The watchman's scalp was numb, and he wanted to retreat subconsciously.However, after several days of training, people have formed a habit, and the team leader has no orders, so he dare not move half a step at all.

Ignoring the reactions of the guards, the clerk took out the measuring tools from the warehouse and began to weigh the wood and stones in batches.After recording the results, he brought up the ax and hammer, and asked the soldiers to further divide the wood and stone, combine them into the same weight, and wrap them with coarse cloth.

"What is this for?" A soldier asked curiously.

The little official didn't answer, but just waved his hands, asking them to stack the cloth bags together.

After everything has been dealt with, the civil servants inform everyone that they will continue to run without learning the array tomorrow.It's just that they were not in the camp, but led by Wei and Tong, went out of the camp for five miles, and then returned.

"The first to return will be rewarded, and the laggard will be punished."

That night, the soldiers of each team returned to the barracks. Under the mobilization of the old soldiers, all of them were full of fighting spirit.Especially the corn and wheat as a reward made everyone's hearts even hotter.

The winner gets the millet!

If you win, you will have food!

Is there anything more motivating than this?

Everyone was excited, lying on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, wishing that it would be dawn in the blink of an eye.If it weren't for the old soldiers who were so noisy that they couldn't sleep well, kicked one after another in anger, reminding them to sleep to accumulate energy, it is hard to guarantee how many people would open their eyes until dawn.

In the anticipation of the younger generation, a ray of light finally appeared on the horizon.

The little official went to the barracks routinely, and found that all the soldiers had got up.After knocking the gong a few times, inspecting the barracks and counting the number of people, he reported to Zhao Jia.

When everything was ready, Zhao Jia stepped onto the wooden platform, and Ji Bao beat the leather drum.

Under the leadership of the team leader, the soldiers stepped forward to grab the cloth bags one after another and tied them tightly on their bodies.

Wei Shan and Wei Tong each got on their horses, one of them led the way, and the other walked with the small officials in the team to ensure that no pawns fell behind.Although there are signs along the way, as Captain Zhao said, precautions should be taken in advance, and safety is the first priority.

Zhao Jia did not leave the camp, but stood at the starting point of the pawns and told everyone that he was here waiting for the teams to return, and that he would send rewards to the winners as soon as possible.

Zhao Xianwei's move aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers even more, and all the teams were gearing up.

Accompanied by the sound of drums, Wei Tong rode his horse first.He deliberately lowered the horse's speed to avoid running too fast, and the pawns would not be able to catch up.

Unexpectedly, the five hundred soldiers seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, took Dali pills, carried more than twenty catties of wood and stones, and ran out of the barracks screaming.The first batch ran faster than expected.Two of the big men were almost at the same level as the horse's body!

Wei Tong was a little confused.

It was the first time he had seen such a pawn.

Finding that more and more pawns were catching up, Wei Tong subconsciously kicked the horse's belly, and the horse neighed under his crotch, speeding up instantly.

After running a certain distance, Wei Tong turned his head again, and almost fell off his horse in surprise.

I saw dust billowing behind me, and more than 20 soldiers scattered, less than [-] meters away from the horse.And he didn't feel tired at all, but showed signs of speeding up.

Behind this group of pawns, more pawns chased after them with cloth bags on their shoulders, and their speed was also accelerating.

Wei Tong tried to speed up again, and the distance between the two sides widened a little.But as long as his speed is a little slower, the pawns will catch up immediately.

Since this is an individual race, there is no need for the strong to lead the weak, the five hundred pawns put aside their scruples, and the dozens of fastest runners seem to have springs on the soles of their feet, and they collectively ride the waves.

In the middle of the run, instead of saying that Wei Tong was leading the way, it might be better to say that he was being chased by the soldiers.

For the cavalry, such an experience is simply aggrieved.

In this situation, it is simply two legs chasing four legs, why not go to heaven?As a result, the questioned flicked his head, grinned, and directly forced him to go to heaven, what the hell!You have the ability to speed up!

In short, insist that Qingshan will not let go, work hard, and vow to chase you to doubt your life.

Running to the predetermined spot, Wei Tong bypassed the wooden pole and started to turn around.Not long after, the fastest pawn ran past and followed him.

It is absolutely abnormal for a person to run at the same speed as a horse.

However, the "abnormality" happened right in front of his eyes. Wei Tong felt more and more confused after witnessing and experiencing it himself.He really couldn't figure out where Lieutenant Zhao's method of training soldiers came from, and what kind of soldiers he wanted to train.

Wei Tong returned to the barracks with a head full of question marks.

When he saw the gate of the camp, he was slightly distracted, and was almost overtaken by the pawns who suddenly accelerated.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Jia was also a little surprised.

In the final analysis, he still underestimated the physical strength of these pawns.

In the era when rabbits eat meat and reed chickens hate eagles, people can run faster than horses. I guess it's not so incomprehensible?

Two guards crossed the finish line at the same time, Zhao Jia handed out a wooden token that could be exchanged for food, and looked at the several people following them, feeling even more surprised.Back and forth for ten miles, with a cloth bag weighing more than [-] catties on his back, running at such a speed, the word "sturdy" cannot be described.

The pawns arrived one after another, and even the slowest ones were no weaker than the pawns.The fastest more than 100 people can be called elite in terms of physical strength and speed alone.

Panting heavily, the soldiers still lined up quickly when they heard the whistle, and their actions were not chaotic at all.Even though he was sweating profusely, he didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, he was full of energy and high-spirited, and he seemed to be able to run another ten miles.

Sun Tzu's law of war says that when you roll your armor, you will move forward. You will not stay day and night, and you will do both ways. If you fight for profit for a hundred miles, you will capture three generals. As a general, half of his methods are perfect; when fighting for profit within thirty miles, two-thirds of them are perfect.

That is to say, "military struggle" is good, but we must pay attention to methods and do what we can.If we ignore the actual situation and blindly emphasize the urgent march, most of the soldiers will not be able to arrive as scheduled, and the victory is still uncertain.

However, the batch of pawns trained by Zhao Jia are obviously against the art of war... no, they are making up for the gaps pointed out by the art of war!

Wei Tong and Wei Shan looked at each other, made up their minds, firmly memorized Zhao Jia's military training method, and reported to the third son when they went back, they must be thorough!
