On the vast training ground, at least 7,000 Eagle's Nest warriors were sweating hard. Each of them is a long-trained warrior, who has seen the tragic battlefield where rivers of blood flow, and can be described as perseverance both physically and mentally.

However, at this moment, among these fighters, there are many people who are not only clumsy and shrunken, but also have bitter words in their hearts.

On the south side of the training ground, rows of cavalry were hurriedly controlling their horses and moving forward slowly, without taking more than ten steps, the overall formation was already in chaos, and from time to time some unlucky people screamed and fell off their horses.

"A bunch of rubbish! Again! The equestrian instructors shouted hoarsely: "Relax, don't be stiff like a piece of wood!" ”

"Keep your upper body straight, and hold one rein in each hand!"

"What are you doing in the saddle? Like a! ”

"Phew! Just a fool like you, you still want to follow the general to the Bohai Sea? Stop daydreaming! ”

In the end, the instructors' fingers pointed together to a big banner: "Give up!" Just go and ring that gong under the banner, and you will not be devastated by this, and you will go back to be your miscellaneous soldiers! ”

The clumsy cavalrymen all looked miserable, but they all gritted their teeth in unison. Your grandmother's, Lao Tzu was originally an elite infantryman, and there are many people who are excellent archers, how can they go back to be miscellaneous soldiers? That's too much of a bully!

"It seems that I am not convinced!" An instructor suddenly laughed: "Boys, I know your background, there are the Northern Army shooting, there are Yiyang County soldiers, and the brothers of Taihang Mountain and Tianshi Dao, all of whom have never ridden a horse, right?" ”

"People who have never ridden a horse can't easily train to become cavalry, and that's too embarrassing! That's what you think, right? The instructor walked slowly past the cavalrymen, and a voice like a bell echoed in the ears of every soldier: "You are wrong! I'm not afraid to tell you that Lao Tzu didn't ride a horse more than a year ago, because Lao Tzu is simply a Bandun barbarian who has lived in the mountains since he was a child! ”

"What!" The soldiers looked at each other and almost exchanged ears. Barbarians? Doesn't it say that trekking through mountains and rivers is like walking on flat ground? How could there be such a good ride?

"Actually, we have all experienced your suffering today! The lord trains cavalry, not only to improve combat power, but also to protect us! The instructor sighed, "You were all infantrymen, and you went into battle again with the exhaustion of a hasty march...... This kind of consequence, if not to mention, you will also understand! ”

The doubts on the soldiers' faces faded away, replaced by a look of excitement as they finally understood the instructor's deep meaning.

"And the value of a war horse, everyone knows better! In order to save the lives of the brothers, the lord is willing to pay his capital! He yelled, "Don't disappoint your lord, so don't even think about giving up!" ”

Another instructor beside the instructor suddenly raised his arms and shouted, "For the sake of the lord......"

Everyone burst out of their mouths together: "Never give up!" ”

On the north side of the training ground, the rows of infantry formations are also slowly showing the dispersion before the collapse, and the brave cavalry who originally galloped across the field, the ruthless characters who ran hundreds of miles a day, were defeated in the queue training for several hours.

Many of them's faces were as swollen as pig's liver, sweat was trickling down their foreheads, their legs were shaking as if they were sifting chaff, and all they heard was the roaring and invincing of the officers.

"What are you shaking? Stand up straight! Chest up, belly tuck, chin tucked! ”

"Didn't you kid get enough? What does it look like to keep your legs together and cross your hips? ”

"What the Northern Army is riding! Get off the horse, all of them are soft eggs! ”

"You can't even pass the basic foot battle, how can the general lead you to the Bohai Sea! Cheer up! ”

In the angry shouts, a young general walked with a smile, he turned around a few times with great interest, looked at the cavalry's eyes like pleading, and finally stopped in front of a cavalryman of the former Northern Army: "What? Anything to say? ”

"Gao Sima!" The cavalryman believed that he had once been the general's personal soldier, and hurriedly said: "The subordinates are all cavalry, why do you want to practice the skills of the infantry?" ”

"That's a good question! But before answering your question," the general's face suddenly turned cold: "If you open your mouth for no reason during the exercise, drag him down and whip him five times!" ”

In the screams of the cavalry, the general stared at him with a straight face, and nearly a thousand subordinates all avoided looking at him in shock, only to hear the general sneer: "You are all the elite of the Northern Army who have been following the general, and you are all proud soldiers!" The general usually cares about you very much, but the general hopes that you will not lose the general's face! ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" All the soldiers replied respectfully.

"The general said that he only needs two thousand of the most elite soldiers to accompany him to Bohai to take up his post!" The general continued to sneer: "Do you hear clearly? The most elite! As a warrior, the upper horse is the cavalry, the lower horse is the infantry, and the bow is the archer. If you can't do that, what qualifications do you have to continue to make up for it without being defeated? ”

"I'm not afraid to tell you! All the warriors of the Eagle's Nest have already done this! And they ......" the general nodded towards the central area of the training ground: "Look! I'm still practicing! ”

"Although Ben Jiang is also from the Eagle's Nest, he has been your Sima, and of course I don't want you to be embarrassed!" He shouted with a calm face: "Two months! Two months from now, the day of the open selection will come, and if you throw in the towel now, it will be better than being degraded and called a bunch of bastard and drunk waste! ”

As soon as he said this, the faces of all the former Northern Army soldiers changed.

"What do you say now?" He glanced at the soldiers who were constantly soaring: "Do you want to continue to practice?" Or go and ring the gong that represents humiliation under the flag? ”

"Practice! Train! Train! He was answered with a tsunami-like roar.

"Excellent! However, in the words of the general, it is a donkey or a horse, and it needs to be finally pulled out for a walk! The general nodded, and turned to look at the soldier who had just been whipped and was grinning back: "You! If you don't want to admit defeat, continue training after half an hour's rest! ”

"Back to the general!" The soldier tried to straighten his chest and said proudly: "My subordinate was a little sleepy just now, but after receiving a few whips, I felt very refreshed. So, subordinates don't need to rest! ”

"There's a kind!" The general finally showed a smile, and he yelled at the soldiers in front of him, "Boys, keep trying!" ”

"No!"

"General!" On the high platform in the distance, several young generals were hugging Nanying to watch the exercise, and one of them couldn't help asking: "If only 2,000 elites are selected, then it is enough to survive the fittest from the nearly 8,000 people in our department at present, why do you have to force them to start over again?" ”

"Do it all over again? Ben will just give them a make-up lesson! Nan Ying glared at Su Fei, who was asking, and said, "I think you are a rookie egg, and I won't care about you in general!" ”

"Hey, hey! What a plan! Li Jin suddenly laughed: "The general's move can be described as killing three birds with one stone, right?" ”

"Three birds with one stone?" Gan Ning was puzzled: "Integrating subordinates and improving combat power is counted as one, and the selection of two thousand Bohai Expeditionary Forces is also counted as one, what is the last one?" ”

"And!" Li Jin changed his solemn expression: "Although it is the first time I have come to the Eagle's Nest, I have heard of the situation here. There are 50,000 residents in this city, among which the Han, Qiang, and Barbarian ethnic groups stand on their feet, and the relationship between them is complicated! ”

He looked at Nan Ying with some admiration: "If you change to any lord, I'm afraid that you will be anxious to mediate internal disputes." Only the general, relying on his incomparably strong strength and benevolent government that loves the people like a son, can make everyone unite and help each other in the same boat! ”

"What exactly do you want to say?" A faint look of appreciation flashed in Nanying's eyes, and he smiled.

"Although the people are calm, what about the army?" Li Jin looked at the roaring training ground in the distance with some concern: "Now our total military strength has reached 8,000, and its composition is more complicated, not only divided into new and old subordinates, but also divided into seven or eight factions according to the seniority of following the general, including the old department of the Eagle's Nest, the officers and soldiers of the Northern Army, the ordinary county soldiers, the Yellow Turban Army, the remnants of the Heavenly Division, the Taihang Mountain Wandering People's Army, and so on. Not to mention, they also have their own national beliefs! ”

"Although these soldiers are good at fighting, most of them are unruly. To you, the general, they are naturally happy and convinced, but what about other brothers, allies, and even generals? Will they be convinced? If the situation is allowed to develop, the end will almost imagine the tragedy that will cause a disaster in the future! A wry smile swept up on Li Jin's lips: "If you are the last general, I'm afraid that you will be so worried that you can't sleep at night!" ”

"Oh? Are you saying that this kind of training will bring harmony to the marches and the soldiers will be of one heart and one mind? Nanying asked rhetorically.

"Of course not!" Li Jin shook his head and said: "The last general guesses that the general intends to make all the soldiers master the infantry and cavalry battles, and his deep meaning should be: to use the opportunity of this training to put the soldiers at the same starting point, so that they are familiar with each other, and have a feeling for robes, and then they can be broken up and reorganized, making it difficult for them to give birth to the division of the group realm." In this way, naturally there will be no factional disputes in the army! ”

"Hearing you say that, it seems that it will be a person who has a deep scheming in the city!" Nan Ying suddenly swung a circle of ever-expanding laugh lines from his lips, he patted Li Jin heavily, and laughed: "However, Ben will roughly mean that!" ”

Looking at the thoughtful expressions of the generals, Nan Ying let out a soft sigh: "Actually, although the deep meaning of this training has been broken by you, there is still a layer of shallow meaning in this general!" ”

Seeing that all the generals showed surprise together, Nan Ying said helplessly: "The best of the best, and the selection of Bohai's accompanying soldiers and horses to take up the post, this is indeed a high-sounding reason." But the more elite the generals, the more arrogant they are, and it is absolutely impossible to melt with their comrades in the short term. At least that's what Ben Jiang personally thinks, the true righteousness of the robe can only be established after experiencing life and death together! ”

"It's been a long time, general, do you want to take away those disobedient ones?" Su Fei suddenly realized: "It's indeed a good plan!" Get rid of all the thorny boys with horns on their foreheads, and the defenders of the Eagle's Nest will gradually form a real run-in! ”

"You can't say that, can you?" Nan Ying stared into the distance: "This trip has a long way to go, and no one knows what kind of difficulties and obstacles will be encountered." Only by leading these hot-blooded men can the generals fight their way out of the thorns! ”

The crowd will be silent together.

"Jujube!" Nanying suddenly shouted, "Come here! ”

Zao, who was hurrying in the distance, looked up in amazement, and then quickly hurried over.

"Lord!" He saluted, "What are the instructions?" ”

"You and Yan Pu are in charge of selecting talents from all walks of life, right? How many talents have been recruited? Nanying said with some expectation: "This is the point, we must have as many as possible!" ”

"The point? Oh! The lord is talking about carpenters and blacksmiths, right? Zao only pondered: "After preliminary selection, about four hundred people were selected, right?" ”

"Four hundred? So much! Nanying was overjoyed and said, "Okay! Well done! ”

"But do we have so many craftsmen in the Eagle's Nest?" He was suspicious: "You're not going to find some two knives to fool the general, are you?" ”

"What two knives? Oh, you mean vulgar skills, right? Zao was stunned for a moment, and then called out to hit the sky: "How could I act so hastily?" Have you forgotten, my lord? There were hundreds of skilled craftsmen in the Heavenly Master Dao army alone, and most of these people volunteered to settle in the Eagle's Nest! ”

"I see! Ben almost forgot! Nan Ying's eyes were shining and said: "Immediately order to improve the living conditions of these people, and bring them all to the Bohai Sea!" ”

"And one more! Ben will go and please in person! He said heavily: "Mo Men master Mo Rang!" ”

"General, you are going to Bohai to serve as an official, what are you doing with so many craftsmen?" Gan Ning was puzzled and said, "Could it be that you are also preparing to overhaul the equipment?" ”

"I heard you're good at water? Fiddling with ships also has a set? Nan Ying squinted at Gan Ning and said, "Seal your official position in advance?" ”

"The last general is indeed proficient in water!" Gan Ning was even more like a five-mile fog: "What official position does the general plan to give to the last general?" ”

"Commander of the Bohai County Naval Army! How is it? Nanying smiled and said, "Now you understand why Ben Jiang is going with a large number of craftsmen, right?" ”

He looked leisurely into the distance, and said with a yearning look: "Bohai? Close to the vast sea! There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea, if the ship is not built, how can it sail to sea? ”
