"Get up, get up, hurry up, wash your face, rinse your mouth, fold your futon, assemble, walk bare, put on your pants! Plantains, tell you how many times, when you sleep, don't press your shoes under your pillow! As soon as the sky was bright, the gang leader Zhang San got up one by one, pulled his throat, and shouted in the dormitory.

The recruits of the first team and five groups of the third regiment and the second brigade of the new training camp jumped off the ground one by one as if they had been stung by a wasp, and began to clean up in a hurry. One by one, the movements are faster than the rabbits.

However, their gang leader, Zhang San, was still not satisfied, and while quickly packing up his clothes and bedding, he urged hoarsely: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's all neat." Remember, you only have a quarter of an hour. Washing his face, rinsing his mouth, folding quilts, and going to the thatched house, a total of a quarter of an hour, when it was over, Lao Tzu definitely did not wait for him. Grandma, you're too lazy like a pig at this time, when you were a shepherd slave, why didn't you see any of you daring to snooze?! ”

The recruits were trained to be red-faced, but none of them had the courage to talk back. The gang leader Zhang San scolded people ugly, but the scolding was all true. When he was working as a shepherd slave for the Turgish, no one dared to sleep until dawn, even if he was sick. The rooster crows twice and dares not to get up, and the whip of the clan has already been drawn on the body, and those who have been beaten have to kneel on the ground to thank him, otherwise, the whip will become a knife.

"Don't rob it, there is enough water to wash your face, poplar branches, you are a girl, wash your face once with a large basin of water." Iron pillar, wash two more handfuls and you will die, you touch, you touch, the snot that flowed last night is still hanging on your face! And you, Lu Dechuan, don't squeeze forward. When they wash their faces, won't you fold the quilt first? What is squeezing? Anyway, you've read too, why are you as stupid as a donkey?! The scolding continued to echo in the dormitory, and the gang leader Zhang San had already finished packing up his clothes and bedding, and then began to supervise the brothers under his command one by one.

None of the brothers whose names he had named dared to speak back. Blushing and trying to make it right. According to the rules of the Broken Leaf Tang Army, whether the recruits can be smoothly turned into soldiers or not, the opinion of the gang commander must account for half of the weight. If you offend the gang leader Zhang San, the latter only needs to move his fingers a little during the assessment, which can ruin the possibility of them "turning positive".

And the gang leader Zhang San, except for his fierce mouth and his ability to scold people, is actually quite good to them. Even if you scold them, most of the time, it's for their sake. In another ten days, the final assessment of the recruit camp will begin, and if anyone is caught by the instructor of the training camp because of snooze at this time, resulting in the failure to pass the assessment, the pain of more than three months of training will be in vain.

"After washing, I quickly rinsed my mouth with salt water. If you have a heavy breath, chew the willow branch and wipe your teeth. One by one, he "reprimanded" his brothers, and Zhang San was finally satisfied. He commanded loudly again, and then he came to the urn filled with water, and the last one scooped water to wash his face.

His brethren stuck out their tongues and went out with wooden cups scooped up with water. Pour the fine salt powder into a wooden cup and melt it with cold water first. Then put cold water in your mouth and rinse your mouth repeatedly.

Before the recruit Wang Debao was captured by the Turks to become a slave, he used to be a small proprietor of a grain store. So I didn't think that the salt was so precious, and after rinsing my mouth, I immediately spit the salt water in my mouth into a designated soil pit. And his good friend Lu Dechuan, as well as the rest of his partners, all took advantage of the fact that the gang leader Zhang San was not paying attention, and swallowed the mouthwash salt water into their stomachs, even if they were so salty that they frowned, they refused to waste a drop.

"If you eat too much salt, it will damage your kidneys. Be careful, if you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you will marry it for nothing! Wang Debao was born to like to joke, and immediately pinched his waist and eyes, and ridiculed in a low voice.

"Worry about you?!" Immediately, a recruit named Talhu turned his head and sneered, "You better think about yourself, running, riding, archery, and stabbing are not working. If you don't work hard, you won't be allowed to pass unless the examiner is blind. ”

"But isn't it, Wang Fatty, you don't know how to farm, you don't have skills, and you don't have the capital to do business. If you can't even pass the soldier assessment, see what you will do to marry a daughter-in-law in the future! Another recruit, nicknamed Lu Guang, also whispered to Tal next to him.

"How do you know that Lao Tzu can't pass the test?" Wang Debao was poked in the sore spot, and retorted in a low voice with a red face, "Lao Tzu has been practicing with the gang leader every day for the past few days, and when the assessment comes, I am sure to surprise you all." It's you, Lu Guangyu, you didn't have any better results than me in the last round of assessment. And the face to say Lao Tzu, if ......"

Before he finished speaking, the words of the gang leader Zhang San had already sounded behind him, like thunder in the middle of the night: "What are you talking nonsense again?" It's all itchy skin, isn't it! Wash up. Hurry up to the thatched house, and then the whole team will report the number! ”

"Yes!" Wang Debao didn't dare to talk to anyone anymore, shrunk his neck, trotted back to the house, put the wooden cup back on the windowsill, and then trotted out to stand in line.

The other eight recruits all did the same as him. According to the training standard of more than three months, everyone lined up in front of the dormitory door in front of the window, and then loudly reported the number, "One, two, three......"

"Hmm!" The leader, Zhang San, also put the mouthwash cup back into the house. Then he walked out quickly, nodding lightly to everyone. Immediately, he quickly stood in front of the team, opened his throat and shouted: "Three regiments, two brigades, one team, five groups, departure, target, school field." ”

Let's take the lead. The other brothers followed closely, and in the blink of an eye, with the morning breeze, they appeared heroically in the large school field dedicated to the morning training of recruits.

On the school field, there are already seven or eight teams, under the leadership of the veteran captain, they have begun to run laps. Everyone was covered with beads of sweat, but they were in good spirits.

The training period for recruits is coming to an end, and although they are tired and bitter, as long as they pass the assessment, they will be beckoned to them with a daily salary of 100 copper coins. In addition, the soldiers' luggage, shoes and socks, mounts, and weapons are all issued by Broken Leaf Town, and they don't have to spend a penny.

"Three regiments, two brigades, one team and five gangs, keep up!" Seeing that other teams were walking in front of him, the team leader Zhang San immediately became competitive, and shouted at the top of his throat, and then his footsteps began to accelerate.

Lu Dechuan, Wang Debao, Lu Guangyu, Gai Ze and other recruits silently followed in the footsteps of their own guys. Run along one of the largest oval circles in the school yard.

Among the recruit assessment criteria of the Leaf Breaker Army, running is one of the basic items. In a quarter of an hour, 1,500 steps are considered qualified, and 2,000 steps are considered excellent. This standard, the leader Zhang San originally thought that he would not be able to reach it in his life, but after running for a few months, he found that in fact, 2,000 steps is not difficult, and most people can complete it within a quarter of an hour. And himself, if he is ruthless, within a quarter of an hour, he can even run a large section more, directly reaching two thousand two.

Most of the time, though, he doesn't run that fast. He is the only veteran of the five groups of the third regiment, the second brigade, and the first team, and he is also the leader of this team. He had to take care of the other nine brothers under his command, advancing and retreating together. Although he, a veteran, is not old at all, and his qualifications are only six days earlier than the recruits who enlisted in Frozen City!

He was in Gumo City and joined the Broken Leaf Army. At that time, many of the rescued slaves were not optimistic about the future of the Broken Leaf Army, so they took the money and dry food given by Zhang Zhenshou's envoy and fled for their lives. He was young and had no relatives to run to, so he simply turned his heart on and joined the army. I thought that I would die on the battlefield soon, but I was a hundred. Who would have expected that he would follow Zhang Zhenshou all the way from Gumo to Frozen City, and then took down the broken leaves.

Before entering the frozen city, the Broken Leaf Army did not distinguish between soldiers and recruits, so Zhang Sanyi enlisted in the army and became a soldier. As a soldier, his combat skills are really far behind the soldiers around Zhang Zhenshou and the veterans from Shule City. Therefore, when Suo Ge was completely exterminated, soldiers like him who joined the army halfway were sent to the new training camp along with the recruits who enlisted after the recovery of Frozen City.

This arrangement once made Zhang San very disappointed. However, he soon regained his strength.

The reason for this is not because after arriving at the new training camp, he is still the leader of the recruit group, and most of the brothers under his command are acquaintances who began to follow him in Frozen City. It's not because he himself still enjoys the treatment of a soldier commander, and he should get no less military salary. It's because most of the subjects learned in the recruit camp were formulated by Zhang Zhenshou himself, and each of them was personally demonstrated to everyone.

"Zhang Zhenshou didn't drive everyone into the new training camp because he disliked everyone. Instead, he wants to train everyone as a descendant! When he received Zhang Qianyan's teaching for the first time, Zhang San suddenly realized, and then put all his mental and physical strength into training.

Under his leadership, the three regiments, two brigades, and one team of five groups cannot be regarded as the most outstanding performance in the entire new training camp, but they can definitely rank in the top ten. The ten recruits, including himself, were all reborn compared to their previous selves. If the final exam starts now, Zhang San believes that except for Wang Debao, who will have some difficulties, he and the other eight brothers will definitely be able to pass the test smoothly. However, he hoped that he would be able to bring all the brothers to the barracks.

"Guy Zhang, this is the record of the first lap, and then!" Zhou Kuang, who was in charge of counting the statistics for the morning exercise, stood on the edge of the school yard and shouted and handed over a bamboo stick.

The gang leader Zhang San quickly withdrew his mind from the reminiscence, took the bamboo stick with a smile, and shook it at the brothers behind him, while continuing to walk. The oval circle is about 600 steps after running a lap, and two and a half laps can complete the training target of the day. However, he usually led the brothers for three full laps, followed by a round of push-ups, just in time for the whole camp to assemble for a procession.

A team that started the morning run first was silently overtaken by him and the brothers behind him. The other party was not convinced, and also collectively accelerated the pace, but it didn't take long for the front and back of this team to start disconnecting. The leader of the team was forced to be helpless, so he had to slow down again, and let Zhang San and the others pass past him, running farther and farther.

Another team was silently surpassed by Zhang San and others. Immediately after that, there was the third, the fourth. The second lap of the ring ran ended quickly, and behind Zhang San, there was a noticeable wheezing sound. He frowned, but didn't slow down. In the blink of an eye, the second and a half circles, the wheezing behind him became heavier and heavier. He looked up at the finish line, his pace slowing slightly.

The big man Gai Xue quietly changed positions with Lu Dechuan, and then, Lu Guang, horseshoe nails, iron pillars, poplar branches, talhu, plantain, and Bao Ge also surpassed Lu Dechuan. Lu Dechuan, who changed himself to the penultimate position, quietly stretched out his right hand. Wang Debao, who was in the penultimate position, saw it, and immediately unceremoniously stretched out his hand and put it on Lu Dechuan's palm.

This is an obvious cheating, and although the gang leader Zhang San did not look back, he knew it. However, he did not intend to interfere.

The third lap has already run more than half of the time, even without Lu Dechuan's help, Wang Debao has completed 1,500 steps. The next small half circle belongs to additional training, and Wang Debao does not quit, which is a victory. Moreover, in his opinion, taking care of each other is definitely a virtue and worth advocating.

However, today, Wang Debao's luck is a little worse. was dragged by Lu Dechuan for less than a hundred steps, and behind him, a clear sound of horses' hooves sounded. Immediately after, the angry reprimand fell from mid-air, "Stop, stop, who told you to drag each other and run?" What's the use of running like this? I've been practicing for more than three months, and if I don't even have the physical strength to run 1,500 steps, I quit as soon as possible. Otherwise, when you get to the battlefield, you don't wait for the enemy to kill, you will lie down first, and you will drag down the robe! ”

"I, I've run, I've run fifteen hundred steps." Wang Debao gasped and stopped, holding his knees with his hands, and defended loudly.

"Sir, he's done the day. If you don't believe me, you can ask about the weekly travel rate! Lu Dechuan also stopped and explained carefully.

Gang leader Zhang San secretly screamed bad luck in his heart, stopped with all the other brothers, and then held two bamboo sticks and saluted an officer dressed as a head on horseback, "Shangguan Rongyu, the five groups of the third regiment, the second brigade and the first team of the new training regiment have completed today's 1,500 steps of daily training tasks, and their subordinates are taking them to practice. The recruit Wang Debao was not physically strong, but he was unwilling to quit, it was his subordinates who allowed the recruit Lu Dechuan to help him nearby, not the two of them working together to cheat! ”

The latter's surname is Ren, with a single name and a longevity character, and he is one of the leaders of the new training camp and a well-known "Shijing". likes to find fault without saying anything, and any mistake that falls into his eyes will be infinitely magnified. Therefore, in order to avoid Wang Debao and Lu Dechuan from being arrested by this person, Zhang San must explain everything clearly before the misunderstanding happens.

However, it was good not to listen to his explanation, and when he heard it, Ren Bing, the head of the sect on horseback, immediately thought that he was shielding his brothers. He raised the horsewhip in his hand and slammed it on his shoulder, "Are you blind or stupid!" I was standing at the gate of the school just now, and I can see clearly when you came! I arrived earlier than you, and I haven't finished two laps yet, and you actually ......."

It was the first time for Zhang San to be whipped, so he didn't dare to dodge, and stiffened his shoulders and back. Wang Debao watched from the side, feeling guilty in his heart, and rushed forward without hesitation, covering his back with his body, "Don't beat our guy, he didn't lie to you." If you don't believe it, you can check the bamboo sticks in his hand, or you can go over there and ask Zhou Lurate! Why rush to power?! ”

"What if Lao Tzu hits?" The head of the sect, Ren Bing, was originally a quick temper, and he firmly believed that he would not succeed if he didn't fight, so he had strength in his hand and swung the whip higher. As a result, it was accidentally whipped on Zhang San's face, and suddenly, a crimson whip mark floated on the latter's face.

"How unreasonable are you!" Lu Dechuan couldn't bear it anymore and raised his hand to grab the whip sheath. "Our guy has explained it to you clearly, why are you still beating him!"

"Look at the bamboo sticks, two, if we run a lap and a half, how can there be two bamboo sticks?!"

"Zhou Lulu is nearby, you can figure it out by asking!"

……

Lu Guangfu, horseshoe nails, iron pillars, poplar branches, Tarhu, plantain, Bao Ge and others, with the same hatred of the enemy, stepped forward together, glaring angrily at the head of the sect, Ren Bing.

The head of the sect, Ren Bing, suddenly understood that he might have really misunderstood Zhang San. However, it is absolutely impossible for him to admit his mistake to a small recruit commander. Pulling the whip back, he continued to scold, "Let go!" Otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you! ”

"You're welcome, what can you do?" Lu Dechuan had never been whipped by the horsemen before, and he never had the courage to resist. And today, I don't know why, the blood is up. He firmly held the whip sheath with one hand, and looked at him angrily, "Lao Tzu is here to be a soldier for Zhang Zhenshou, not to be bullied by you." If Lao Tzu violates military discipline, he will be beaten by you. Obviously you're wrong, and you still beat people, you ......"

"What about fighting? If it weren't for Lao Tzu, a few of you would still be making big animals for the Tuqi Shi people! All day long, I don't know how many whips I will receive! "Lu Dechuan said that he was weak-hearted, and Ren Bing was stubborn and forceful to reason." Lao Tzu beats you because he looks up to you. If you change someone else, Lao Tzu will only draw a knife! ”

There is a saying that you don't hit people in the face, and don't expose your shortcomings when you scold people. Lu Dechuan's most humiliating experience in his life was to be used as a slave by the Turgish people in the frozen city. Wang Debao, Lu Guangyu and others are the same. Immediately, several robes grabbed the leather whip and pulled it hard, "Lao Tzu is not lacking, you can afford it, if you have a kind, you will draw a knife!" ”

The leather whip was taken off, Ren Bing was angry and anxious, shouted, and instinctively pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist. At that moment, a pebble crept through the crowd and hit the back of his hand. Immediately after, Luo Huaizu's voice also sounded in everyone's ears, "The town guard is here, don't make any more trouble." If you have anything to say, you can talk about it slowly after going down for a while. ”

"Owner!" Ren Bing shook his head and immediately came back to his senses. Quickly turned his head and saluted in the direction of the source of the sound.

"I've seen the town guard!" Zhang San raised his hand to wipe the blood and tears from his face, and took his brothers to salute Zhang Qian, but his eyes refused to meet Zhang Qian, and his eyes were full of disappointment when he looked at the ground.
