Although the training of the servants was somewhat harsh and arduous, Zhang Xiaowu was very good at mobilizing the rhythm and even taught them to sing ballads. Originally, the Han army did not have military songs, and compared to the surrounding aliens, the Han people were neither good at singing nor dancing, they were good at construction and farming, so wherever there were Han people, there must be food and cities.

Zhang Xiaowu asked the soldiers to shout and sing military songs, and he even took out a few songs adapted from his previous life, such as "Loyal to the Country", "Strong Army Battle Song", "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", "Heaven and Earth in My Heart" and other songs, requiring soldiers and soldiers to shout often when resting, everyone only felt that there was some fun at first, and they learned to sing when they listened to it, and when they were training hard, they found that singing could relieve fatigue, so they unconsciously sang it to relieve it, and the effect was very good.

After a few days of training, the soldiers learned that the real leader of the Dead Soldier Battalion was Colonel Zhang Xiaowu, whose nickname was Ghost General, and everyone was very curious about the origin of the nickname "Ghost General".

For many soldiers who came to Saibei for the first time, they needed a heroic figure to support themselves in their hearts, so that they had the confidence to meet the battlefield and a more difficult environment, so Zhang Xiaowu, a legendary figure who was promoted from a soldier to a school in only three months, became an idol pillar in everyone's hearts.

"Idol" Zhang Xiaowu often tells the soldiers about some battlefield skills, but he is not to show off anything to the soldiers, but to tell them the cruelty of war, and also to teach them survival experience. The soldiers were very strange and fearful of the battlefield, but they also naively believed that they would not die, and many even privately thought that they would become heroes in the novel. Zhang Xiaowu knew that the first thing they did when they went to the battlefield was not to become heroes, but to become cannon fodder.

Zhang Xiaowu used his own experience to tell everyone that the battlefield is not a novel, and even once Hu Li told the soldiers that the Wuhuan white devils were no big deal, and he killed several - and then he was scolded by Zhang Xiaowu, saying that he was sending the soldiers to death, and the soldiers on the battlefield can only defeat the enemy if they survive, and no matter how brave the soldiers are, they are just a speck of dust, and the soldiers must first learn to protect themselves, and then learn to kill the enemy.

At first, the servants took the advice of the capital chief Zhang Xiaowu very seriously, but after a long time, everyone did not believe it on the surface and in private. The soldiers of the dead battalion admired Zhang Xiaowu very much, and everyone understood that although the subordinates of a fierce general could achieve fame, they could die quickly, and a brave and resourceful general like Zhang Xiaowu on the battlefield would definitely live longer.

The old soldiers were not thinking about killing the enemy, but about how to live longer, and when the war was over, they would return home to meet their parents, wives and children.

"Then why did you say that to them?" Zhang Xiaowu asked Hu Li.

Hu Li smiled: "I'm afraid that I will scare this group of people to the battlefield, and when I hear the sound of killing, I will be so frightened that I will pee my pants and dare not move, and I don't know how to resist when people raise their knives to kill in front of them." Zhang Xiaowu told everyone the evil on the battlefield, so that more people can learn the ability to protect themselves and survive, while Hu Li told everyone the good on the battlefield, so as to increase everyone's courage and give everyone the confidence to live.

"Your first battle, did you pee your pants?" Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile that he also knew that Hu Li had not done anything wrong, and the two had nothing to argue about, so he had changed the topic and asked.

Hu Li scratched his head and said: "This is all experience, don't mention it, don't mention it." My lord, I've got two bottles of good wine, let's have some? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You must have been deceived from the epidemic camp." ”

"I met a second fool, he had a solid family, and he thought that he would be a hero in the small talk book when he went to the battlefield, but before he met the Wuhuan people, he was shot through by the rain of arrows in the sky. Fortunately, the bow and arrow only pierced his shoulder and did not kill him, and the two fools did not dare to go to the battlefield from then on, so they spent money to escape from the plague camp. Hu Li laughed and said, "My lord, don't you know that there are people in the epidemic camp, everyone has them, injured, pretending to be injured, and they have injured themselves, alas-when did our Holy Han Forbidden Army mix so many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "They are self-aware, they know how much they can do, since they are timid and afraid of death and incompetent, it is better to go home and have children, in case the child has a chance in the future." ”

Hu Li asked how the timid army could win the battle, and if the forbidden army were all cowardly, there would be no need to fight this battle again. Zhang Xiaowu said that it doesn't matter if you are timid, as long as the big war comes, the soldiers pick up their knives and guns, and those who can't kill in their hearts will also kill people crazy in the next second. But when soldiers go to the battlefield, the most important thing to remember is to remember two points, one is to obey military orders, and the other is to save themselves, most people are not ten enemies, hundreds of enemies, thousands of enemies, and ten thousand enemies.

Zhang Xiaowu later discovered that in fact, in terms of training soldiers, the most outstanding officer in the dead soldier camp was actually Shen Lindong, who was not only experienced and good at summarizing and improving, but also a good hand at training soldiers. Although Zhang Xiaowu thought that he knew many more scientific and effective training methods, after all, it was the training method of the era of hot weapons, and in this world of cold weapons, the ancient training and camping knowledge was not only necessary, but also had to be learned.

Zhang Xiaowu was a person who knew his mistakes and could correct them, he immediately corrected his thinking and reused Shen Lindong, and appointed Shen Lindong as the chief manager of the training of the dead soldier battalion, and led the training of 5,000 recruits. Shen Lindong saw that Zhang Xiaowu paid more attention to himself, and his attitude became more positive, not at all like the cautious decadence of the past.

With Shen Lindong's training, Zhang Xiaowu suddenly had more time, and at this time, Hu Sanwan recommended a talent named Wen Ruyu. Hu Sanwan said that this Wen Ruyu originally served as the commander of the baggage battalion in the White Tiger Army, and fought with the army many times, following the White Tiger Army from the Black Forest in the Kanto region to the Yeyatai in the southwest, from the expedition to the Western Regions to quelling the civil strife, fighting for eight years in a row, but only being promoted to the rank of chief after accumulating merit, and his subordinates really killed many rebels and aliens.

However, Wen Ruyu was unlucky in his boss greedy for military food, although Wen Ruyu did not participate in the greed for ink, but his officials were fellow villagers, and there were many fellow villagers in the army to take care of them, although he was repeatedly dissuaded, but he was ignored by his fellow villagers. Later, the official's greed for ink was exposed, and many people mistakenly thought that he had told the secret, and not only rejected him in the army, but also beat him several times in private, so that he could no longer stay in the White Tiger Army.

It happened that the prince led the Qinglong Army to the north to fight against him, and Wen Ruyu was able to go to the Qinglong Army.

Zhang Xiaowuxin said that Wen Ruyu's name is like a girl, but her personality is so upright, and asked Hu Sanwan why he recommended Wen Ruyu, Hu Sanwan said: "This person has a strong personality, seriously does not rub sand, and is intolerant of greed for ink, I think it will definitely help adults." Although I can't do it, I'm not jealous of people who have it. I can hold the position of commander at most in the army, but now that I am a captain, I am really ashamed to be the more I think about it, the more panicked I become, it is better to recommend a capable person to manage the baggage with me, so as not to delay the military of the adults. ”

Zhang Xiaowu laughed, asked Zhao Suo to go to the city to buy wine and come back, and invited his generals to eat meat and drink wine together and have a happy gathering.

Now Zhang Xiaowu's henchmen include Wu Song, Wang Yijin, Chen Guanxi, Zhao Suo, Xiao Kai, Hu Li, Zu Gongmao, Shen Lindong, Guan Cheng, Cao Li, Hu Sanwan, Wen Ruyu, and Li Chuncheng. Among them, Wang Yijin, Chen Guanxi and Zhao Suo were the first to follow him, although they were not good at work, they were rarely loyal; Wu Song, Hu Sanwan, and Wen Ruyu are in charge of logistics; The rest of the people were responsible for leading the troops, but they also seemed to be both civil and military.

Everyone drank wine and ate meat, Zhang Xiaowu suddenly found that the newly recruited Wen Ruyu actually didn't drink a drop of alcohol, and Li Chuncheng actually didn't get drunk, and he was quite interested, so everyone took turns to drink with Li Chuncheng, but he didn't want to be poured to the ground by Li Chuncheng one by one. Zhang Xiaowu knows that there is a kind of person who is congenitally immune to alcohol or quickly excretes alcohol after drinking, this kind of person is a hero in the wine and a bully in the wine, Li Chuncheng is powerful in martial arts, and on the wine table, it is a god who blocks and kills the gods and Buddhas, and finally when Li Chuncheng toasts to him, Zhang Xiaowu ran away to find Wu Song, a literati, to drink.

Although Wu Song is a literati, the amount of alcohol is not small, and after drinking three bowls with Zhang Xiaowu, Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said that he was too eager to drink and needed to slow down. Wu Song stroked his goatee and smiled, and suddenly said that there was a place in his hometown of Yangzhou, called Shazhou Island, with an area of 1,000 acres, and the island stood in the middle of the Yangzi River, which was made of silt. Because after the Yangzi River floods every year, half of Shazhou Island will inevitably be submerged, and the other half will also be soaked in water, so it has always been a borderless land, and if Shazhou Island can be bought, it will be enough to house many veterans.

Zhang Xiaowu immediately thought of Chongming Island in the future, but these are two worlds, he doesn't know the specific situation of the so-called Shazhou Island, but since it is a borderless land, if they occupy it, they will not be exempt from a part of the land. After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaowu asked Wu Song to return to the Central Plains with the veterans, and immediately occupied Shazhou Island, and spent money to repair the flood control levee, turning the useless island into the last reliance of everyone.

"This is at least three months, at most half a year, and adults must be careful of being stabbed in the back." Wu Song took a sip of wine and suddenly said, "Although you saved General Cheng, this person has a cold temperament, and he may not help you at a critical moment." ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said, "I naturally know that there are more than 800 people in our dead battalion, and we must return to the Central Plains alive." ”

The generals saw that Wen Ruyu was very shy in the new capital, so they changed from Li Chuncheng to him to crusade, Wen Ruyu pushed but only took a sip, and then blushed, his face was like a boiled crab, which really made everyone laugh. Hu Li also patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "How do you meet the big girl who is married?" ”

Wen Ruyu said depressedly: "I have had this problem since I was a child, and drinking wine is like being steamed......"

"It's okay, it's okay, you drink a bar, don't care if you're red or not, you must know that our favorite person here to be red is Master Xiaozuo." Hu Sanwan quipped, "Every time he kills and is covered in blood, he comes back." ”

Wen Ruyu was born as a military general, and he also killed several enemies with a knife, but he was not afraid of everyone drinking, so he drank with everyone, and finally when it was his turn to toast Zhang Xiaowu, I saw him raise his cup and say to Zhang Xiaowu: "My lord-" and then fell to the ground with a thud, drunk and unconscious.
