Chapter 82: Prepare for the Great Joy
Ma Yan's change made Guan Ping happy, and Ma Liang's arrival was a surprise.
Guan Ping received Ma Liang wholeheartedly, drinking and talking about it until the night, of course, Guan Ping didn't feel too much drinking, just took a sip from time to time, and talked more often.
Talk about everything, southeast and northwest winds.
Ma Liang was more talkative, and the two of them chatted while drinking until night. Ma Liang had planned to stay in the barracks for a few days before leaving, but he heard Guan Ping say that tomorrow he would be interested in the big competition in the army.
After nightfall, the two separated. Guan Ping asked people to set up another tent for Ma Liang to live in, and let Ma Jian sleep with him.
After a night of silence, it was the next day.
Before dawn the next day, the old soldiers in the army began to beat the drums, and the earth-shattering drums woke up the soldiers, but today they did not train, but Dabi.
Under the supervision of the commander, the chief, and the uncle, the soldiers began to have breakfast, then rested, and waited for the day to break, and then competed.
Last night, Ma Liang and Ma Jian lived together, and the two brothers slept together. When the drum sounded so early, Ma Liang was still a little angry and lazy.
Ma Tan was neatly dressed, and bowed to Ma Liang: "Fourth brother, I'll go." ”
"Go ahead." Ma Liang nodded, then squinted, and then got up to wash and dress. After washing and putting on his clothes, and putting on the crown, Ma Liang stood in front of the wooden basin again, Ma Liang looked down and saw that he was neatly dressed, so he smiled with satisfaction, walked out of the tent, and went to close the tent.
Guan Ping also finished washing up and was about to have breakfast. Seeing Ma Liang coming in, he hurriedly greeted: "Ji Chang, let's eat together." ”
Ma Liang smiled and nodded, then sat down. Soon after, the old man brought breakfast, rice porridge, eggs, and a plate of meat, as for the wine, forget it, it is not good to drink in the morning.
After Guan Ping and Ma Liang had breakfast together, they took Ma Liang out of the tent and planned to hold a big competition. Dabi, without his presence, it can't be compared.
Who knows, suddenly an old soldier hurriedly came to report and said: "Lord Junhou, the lord and all the civil and military are here." ”
Guan Ping was very puzzled when he heard this, what are these guys doing? Immediately Guan Ping understood, this is knowing that there is a big competition in our army, and he came to hear the wind?
It must be that Sun Gongyou, Mr. Sun revealed the news.
Guan Ping rolled his eyes, but he had no choice but to say to Ma Liang: "Ji Chang, go with me to meet my lord." ”
Ma Liang's face was solemn, and he was a little nervous. Don't look at him being hearty and calm in front of Guan Ping every day, but it is also the first time he has seen Liu Bei, and it is natural to be a little nervous.
That's the best man in the world, and his father is a figure that he is optimistic about.
Guan Ping led Ma Liang to the front of the camp to greet him, Liu Bei was very well-behaved, although he was honored as General Zuo and the lord, he did not trespass into the barracks, and led the civil and military to wait outside the camp.
Seeing Guan Ping, Liu Bei turned over and dismounted, and walked up with a smile. Guan Ping looked up, hehe, everyone who should come is here, Dad, Zhang Laosan.
"My lord." Guan Ping bowed and saluted, and Ma Liang said respectfully after him, "I've seen General Zuo." ”
"Ping'er, I heard that there is a big event in your camp, I came to take a look. Wouldn't be presumptuous? Liu Bei smiled and touched the horn on Guan Ping's head and joked.
"The lord can come when he wants, and he can leave when he wants. Say anything presumptuous. Guan Ping rolled his eyes and said. Immediately, Guan Ping pointed at Ma Liang again: "This is the son of Mr. Ma in Yicheng, Ma Liang, the word Ji Chang." As the so-called Ma's five permanent white eyebrows are the best. The lord needs to be taken care of by a good life. ”
Liu Bei had already noticed Ma Liang, the white eyebrows were the best, he had also heard that Ma Liang's pair of white eyebrows were also eye-catching and abnormal.
Let's not talk about Ma Liang, Ma Jie is very good with him, of course he has to take care of it.
So Liu Bei called Ji Chang with a smile, and then asked curiously: "Ping'er, why is Ji Chang in your military camp?" ”
"Not only the season, but also the young." Guan Ping smiled and told Liu Bei about the matter. Liu Bei was a little surprised, but he didn't take it seriously.
Ma Liang, the Ma Tan brothers are young after all, and Liu Bei has never gotten along with the two, so he is naturally not profound. If Liu Bei and Ma Liang were talking in the study for a day, it would be different.
Ganning is an example.
Liu Bei is still very knowledgeable.
After that, Guan Ping stepped forward to greet his father and uncles. Dad Guan Yu is still the same, with a cold face, like a sculpture in the cold wind, exuding a cold and proud atmosphere.
As if to say.
You scumbags, I still don't wear clothes in such a cold winter, but you freeze into dogs one by one.
Guan Ping also complained.
Zhang Laosan still made a bad move, and the vicious bear pounced on Guan Ping, hugged it hard in his arms, rubbed it for a while, and patted Guan Ping's shoulder with a smile and said, "Ping'er, I heard that you are good at managing the army." Big brother specially asked us to come to observe and learn, you have to behave well, don't mess up. Otherwise, everyone will laugh at it. ”
"Do you think so?" Zhang Laosan also turned around and asked everyone cutely.
"Hehehe." The civil and military people did not have such a bad taste as Zhang Laosan, but just let out a good-natured laugh.
Guan Ping rolled his eyes, there was no such thing as a bird. After a round of salutes, Guan Ping welcomed Liu Bei and others into the camp, arrived at the school grounds, and stood on the platform.
It is said that it is a point platform, but in fact it is just a platform made of wood, not high or big, and so many people are squeezed in at once, and it is immediately crowded.
Guan Ping looked condescendingly and was a little satisfied, only to see that the audience was divided into ten squares, each of which was very neat and impressive.
The soldiers were armed with spears, bows, and shields, and they smelled of discipline.
If you look closely, there is a phalanx that is particularly peculiar. The other phalanxes are all dressed in leather armor on the outside and black on the inside, but this phalanx is wearing leather armor on the outside and red clothes on the inside.
The flower of the flock.
Guan Ping was surprised for a moment, and then guessed, "I'm afraid this is Li Zheng's department." Guan Ping was deeply impressed by this Li Zheng, he was really a very clever person.
Guan Ping guessed correctly, the phalanx of soldiers dressed in red was Li Zheng's department. Li Zheng was ambitious and intended to show himself, so he paid out of his own pocket to make red clothes for the soldiers, and practiced at night, and his department was the most elite.
At this moment, Li Zheng raised his head and faced the general, he was very excited. Because he can see that there are probably a lot of big people on this stage.
Zhou Xiong is jealous and unhappy, this guy not only practiced at night, but also hid his hand, and it was terrible to get the first skill at this time.
Besides, the civil and military personnel on the stage are also solemn.
Guan Ping is good at governing the army, but this matter is only known to Liu Bei and Sun Gan. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Gan Ning and others didn't know.
Today, Liu Bei suddenly summoned them and came to observe and study together. There is nothing to be dissatisfied with, after all, Guan Ping is a group pet, but he is more or less dismissive.
You must know that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Gan Ning, and Wei Yanke are all top generals, and the leaders naturally have their own set of skills, and it is natural not to think so.
But seeing that Guan Ping made ten parts, the display was impressive, like an old pawn.
Or this neatness, this momentum, is better than the average veteran. And this is really just a recruit who has only just been recruited into the army, almost four months.
This shocked them a little, it's really not blowing, it's really a set.
As for Liu Bei, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and he is happy at the moment. stroked his palms and laughed, and then touched Guan Ping's horn, and said happily: "True prodigy." ”
Guan Ping shook his head, forget it in private, just accept it. Now in full view, in the midst of the bright future, don't touch me like this.
I want to save face, too.
"Now let's start the first competition, whoever runs the fastest 10 kilometers first and has the most neat queue will run first."
After Guan Ping dumped Liu Bei, he immediately yelled.
"No." The ten men and horses on the school field responded to the promise in order, and then left the barracks in an orderly manner, lined up on the south bank of the creek, and ran eastward under the order of the old man.
Guan Ping, Liu Bei and others rode horses to accompany them.
"It's a good run, not only fast, but also neatly aligned." Liu Bei rode his horse, smiling, nodding from time to time, his face was about to cramp with laughter today.
"Such a speed, although not as fast as a war horse, but faster than the average foot march, can also play an unexpected role. In addition, the display is neat, and if you suddenly encounter an enemy army, you can also fight quickly, which is really amazing. ”
Zhao Yun is the commander of the cavalry, but he is also very good at studying the infantry army, and the cavalry soldiers are very fast, and he is very satisfied with the marching speed of Guan Ping's department.
Guan Yu's arrogant father didn't say a word, but he touched his beautiful beard from time to time, revealing a little satisfaction.
I was actually very satisfied.
The son inherits the father's business, and the son inherits the father's business.
"This makes me a little embarrassed, I also recruited new troops, but the training is not as good as Ping'er." Zhang Laosan reached out and scratched his head, rarely a little embarrassed.
Individuals have their own means of training, because of the problems of the times, Zhang Laosan and their training of recruits is indeed not as good-looking as Guan Ping, but in fact, the actual combat effectiveness is probably half a catty and eight taels.
The practice is not the same.
Guan Ping is about absolute obedience, absolute military discipline, and then physical fitness, fighting. And Zhang Laosan and others trained their troops, paying attention to taking the camp step by step.
Teach them how to use weapons first, and then form formations.
Of course, Guan Ping's recruits are much more bullish.
Gan Ning was also surprised, he conspired with Su Fei that day, planning to leave Huang Zu and go to Sun Quan, but was stopped by Guan Ping.
Guan Ping saw his strategy and persuaded him to come to Xinye.
He felt that Guan Ping was not simple, but he didn't expect Guan Ping to be so good at training. Gan Ning couldn't help but admire in his heart and thought.
It is worthy of being a tiger of the gate.
Even Ma Liang was surprised, although he had heard Ma Jian say it last night, but seeing it with his own eyes was still different.
This military appearance.
Let's not talk about the surprise and discussion of these people, but it is said that the ten soldiers and horses are going east in unison, and everyone can be tied at the beginning, but running and running, Li Zheng's red-clothed policy stands out.
And rightfully so.
Li Zheng trained extremely hard, and paid out of his own pocket to increase the food for the soldiers, and practiced more at night. Only with input can there be results.
Zhou Xiong actually wanted to pay out of his own pocket to practice, but he didn't have the money, and he didn't dare to open up to his father Zhou Cang, so the plan ran aground.
Today, I can only watch Li Zheng win the first place in running.
Three months ago, running was five kilometers. Today, three months later, the number of runs has increased to 10 kilometers. After the 10-kilometer run, we hike back together.
After returning to the barracks, he rested for a while. The ten men and horses also carried out bow and arrow competitions, various formation competitions, round formations, square formations, goose marching formations, cone formations, and sparse formations.
Without exception, it was Li Zheng who won the first place.
Li Zheng held his head high and his spirit was flying.
Zhou Xiong's face is very dark, blacker than black charcoal. Others such as Zhao Tong, Mi Wei, Zhang Bao and others are also not good-looking.
These three people Zhang Bao are self-motivated, Zhao Tong, after Mi Wei joined the army, he was actually just treating a job, and his attitude was decent.
Zhao Tong is the son who succeeded his father, and Mi Wei was sent by Mi Zhu.
Zhang Bao is straightforward, has good martial arts, and is also interested in inheriting his father's business in the army, so I am afraid that he will be able to lead troops to fight in the future.
And Zhao Tong, Mi Wei may just be a guard general.
It's like a character like Ouchi's senior sword guard.
Protecting the emperor is also indispensable for an empire. Moreover, Zhao Tong and Mi Wei both have advantages, and after both of them are heroes, they are decent people.
Great for doing this.
But these three people didn't know that their father would also come to watch the competition, after these three civil and martial arts, they lost to Li Zheng, a halfway monk, these three people were naturally worried and felt that they had to be scolded.
These three stinky boys guessed correctly, Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu, and Zhao Yun's faces were somewhat unnatural. Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu is still good.
Zhang Fei's face was very dark, as black as a briquette, and he was angry.
Shame on you. My son actually lost to an unknown guy. It is estimated that a meal of fried pork slices with bamboo shoots is inevitable.
In this big competition in the army, Li Zheng won the first credit, and Dubo Xu Chongguo ranked last, and each received rewards and punishments. Guan Ping paid out of his own pocket and spent about 60,000 coins, which is equivalent to two gold.
For Guan Xiaohou, it is naturally a small amount of money.
Preparation is a joy in countenance, and a reward should be given to the victor.
After the big competition ended, Liu Bei led Wenwu to Guanping's big tent and added seats, which was a little crowded. Liu Bei sat on the northern throne without concessions, beckoned Guan Ping to come and sit down beside him, and touched the horn on Guan Ping's head, and his affection was overflowing.
"Ping'er, call in the victorious Li Zheng. I'm going to give him a horse. Liu Bei said.
"No." Guan Ping promised and personally went down to bring Li Zheng in. Li Zheng was very nervous, extremely nervous.
General Zuo Liu Bei is too high-end for an unknown villain like him.
"The villain has seen the lord." Li Zheng spoke with a trill, but he tried to hold his head high and said.
He knew it was an opportunity. Li Zheng's dream is to be a marquis and a general, and his being a Dubo is just the starting point, and he hopes to be appreciated by Liu Bei, the general of the left, so as to soar.
This is not disloyal to Guan Ping
Not to mention Li Zheng, Zhao Tong, Mi Wei, Zhang Bao, Ding Feng, and even Zhou Xiong and Li Fei, they are all likely to fly alone in the future and become Shu Han generals.
Guan Ping will still be his second ancestor in the future, and he may not lead the troops anymore.
"You've done a great job, and you'll have to work harder in the future. And I will give you a good horse and reward you. Liu Bei was very kind.
"Thank you, Lord." Li Zheng was so excited that he thanked him loudly.
After Liu Bei rewarded Li Zheng, he also wanted to reward another person. Liu Bei turned his head to look at Guan Ping, who was sitting next to him, with a look of distraction.
