Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Muscle Man and the Rib Man

Early the next morning, the 3,000 period gate sergeants and soldiers were thinking about the direction of Lantian Mountain.

Lantian Mountain is located on the south side of Zhangfu and the north side of Dinghu Yanshou Palace.

The palace where Liu Che lives naturally pays attention to sitting in the north and facing south, while Zhang Yuan doesn't have so many things, just have a place to live.

The training station of the Qimen Army this time is on the west side of Lantian Mountain, and if someone mentions the departure of the Qimen Army from the station, Wei Qing can use the reason of guarding the Dinghu Yanshou Palace to shirk the past.

Second, because of the proximity to the mountains and forests and the proximity to the water source, the troops can be stationed for a long time without enjoying the rations of the imperial court.

After walking all day, the army arrived at the western foot of Lantian Mountain, found a flat land, and directly began to set up camp.

Wei Qing was also very satisfied with this place, but he mainly considered accommodating Zhang Yuan's feelings.

He was worried that Zhang Yuan would not be able to endure the long military life, so he thought about coming to the edge of Zhang's mansion.

After Zhang Yuan arrived at the place, he looked at Lantian Mountain, and he was still a little worried in his heart.

"Brother Qing, you may have to issue the first order later."

Wei Qing looked excited, thinking that Zhang Yuan always had to talk about the training plan of the army.

"Brother Yuan, you just say it."

Zhang Yuan looked at the sergeants of the period gate who were all holding swords, and said with a worried face.

"There are many people on Lantian Mountain who are unwilling to leave their hometown because of His Majesty's expansion of the Forest Garden.

Brother Qing, the first order you want to give in a while is to let the sergeants and soldiers not harm those people, no matter what the court says, those are all living lives after all. ”

Fortunately, Wei Qing was born in poverty, and he understood Zhang Yuan's request very well, if he was replaced by another noble son, Zhang Yuan estimated that it would take a lot of words.

"Okay, I'll give the order in a moment.

Brother Keyuan, tomorrow we will be completely rooted here.

Tell me about this training plan, you can't just do nothing during the day tomorrow? ”

Zhang Yuan had already thought about the training plan, and since Wei Qing asked, he opened his mouth and said it directly.

"For the first month, we need a lot of meat to let the soldiers go to the neighborhood to hunt wild beasts.

There is enough meat for 3,000 people, and tomorrow I will go home and bring all the potatoes, weeds, and beets that I have stockpiled at home.

But these are things that you need to spend money on military supplies. ”

After Wei Qing heard this, he directly subconsciously thought that Zhang Yuan wanted to station the army in Lantian Mountain in order to catch wild boars.

"Brother Yuan, you won't still be thinking about those wild boars, just find some people to catch a few in your spare time.

I can't let the whole army arrest it. ”

In fact, Wei Qing didn't say it, Zhang Yuan almost forgot about this stubble.

"You have to let these guys kill the Huns for you, at least you have to take care of their bodies.

Why are the Huns so tall and brave, all of them are bigger than you, don't they still eat meat all day long?

If the soldiers of our Qimen Army want not to fall into disadvantage when facing the enemy Huns, the first thing is to do a good job in health. ”

Zhang Yuan has never seen the Huns, in fact, he is also nonsense, but the northerners are stronger than the southerners, this is for sure.

Especially in ancient times, those nomads were definitely stronger than the Han Chinese.

Wei Qing did not object, that is, he agreed with Zhang Yuan's statement, but he still looked suspicious.

Zhang Yuan didn't know how to continue to explain for a while, and when he saw a pawn walking by, he waved him over.

"General, long history."

The pawn said to Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan.

"Take off your shirt."

Zhang Yuan ordered. The pawn was directly stunned in place, rubbing his hands awkwardly, and looked at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing's eyes widened, and he shouted fiercely.

"If you want to take it off, you will take it off, the military order is like a mountain, don't you understand the prohibition of the order?"

Thinking of what Zhang Yuan did yesterday, the pawn trembled, and immediately took off all the armor and lining on his upper body.

Seeing the thin body of the pawn like a rib, Zhang Yuan knew that he was not wrong.

"General, take off your shirt too."

When others were around, Zhang Yuan called Wei Qing a general or an official name, and Wei Qing did the same, and he called him as usual where there was no one else.

Hearing what Zhang Yuan said, Wei Qing was also stunned for a moment, and his eyes were stunned.

"Am I going to take it off too?"

Zhang Yuan nodded.

"Drag it, the contrast will be obvious after taking it off."

Wei Qing looked at the pawn next to him, and couldn't bear to damage Zhang Yuan's prestige, so he also took off the armor and lining of his upper body.

Although Wei Qing suffered a lot when he was a child, since Wei Zifu entered the palace, Wei Qing's living conditions are compared with when he was a child.

After so many years of nutritional supplementation, his physical condition has fully recovered, and with the usual training, he will be a man in the future.

Looking at Wei Qing's tendon meat, Zhang Yuan touched his stomach again, and could only sigh, but he didn't have the slightest idea of exercising.

"What do you eat on weekdays, and what is the configuration of military rations in the army?"

Zhang Yuan asked at the pawn.

"Looking back on the long history, the villain usually has some steamed buns, and then there will be a bowl of porridge with pickles.

Occasionally, when he traveled with His Majesty to hunt, there would be some prey as a reward for everyone, and at that time they would be able to eat meat. ”

The pawn replied honestly.

His awe of Zhang Yuan is greater than that of Wei Qing, and he has to listen to Zhang Yuan if he doesn't see Wei Qing.

Zhang Yuan turned his head and began to ask Wei Qing again.

"Is the general indispensable for meat on weekdays?"

Wei Qing saw the obvious contrast in front of him and nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing Wei Qing's affirmative reply, Zhang Yuan knew that Wei Qing probably understood the intention in his heart.

"Alright, you put on your clothes and go down."

The pawn nodded confusedly, answered Zhang Yuan, and then retreated.

"How? Brother Qing, you can figure out why I let these soldiers go to hunt down the beasts first. ”

Zhang Yuan asked Wei Qing with a smile.

"The younger brother knows, and the elder brother's talent is far from being comparable to the younger brother.

Does the elder brother want these soldiers to make up for the shortfall in their bodies, so that they can train normally after they are strong? ”

Wei Qing said to Zhang Yuan with admiration.

Zhang Yuan shook his head.

"The first thing that hunts wild beasts is to get meat and make them stronger.

The second is to let them engage in actual battles, and some beasts are no more stupid than humans.

If all the general's crossbow arrows are confiscated, and these soldiers are allowed to hunt wild beasts, there will definitely be casualties.

Compared with the Huns, the beasts have no weapons, and if they know how to use weapons, the three thousand soldiers of the regular gate army will die more. ”
