Chapter 33: Temporary Intentions
The next day, Zeng Yu asked Zhou Cang to inform all the centurions and tell everyone about some of the plans they had determined yesterday. Naturally, some people are happy and some are sad, but fortunately, most of them are happy. After all, their positions have not changed, they are still serving as centurions, but their authority is usually reduced, and Wang Qing will always lead them to conduct unified training.
However, after Zeng Yu announced the news and Wang Qing took them away, Wang Qing announced the new regulations to them. Their centurions are temporary, and in the future, all of them can challenge their centurions, and if they win, they can take their place.
At this moment, all the centurions were not calm, and when they thought that they might be climbed on their heads by their own soldiers in the future, how could they accept it, almost all the centurions blew up their nests.
"How can this be, I am a centurion I desperately took down. Now you say that I am only a temporary person, and there is no reason, and I am going to go to the Lord to judge the reason. ”
"Yes, we all killed out of blood, and it's not fair to us that you're doing this."
"That's right, let's go and comment on the Lord."
Some centurions disagreed with Wang Qing's statement on the spot, saying that they would go to Zeng Yu for comment. However, they didn't move, they just pretended to leave, but their eyes kept looking at Wang Qing to see if he would be afraid.
It's a pity that what disappointed them was that Wang Qing's face didn't change from beginning to end, and after seeing them calm down, he said directly to them: "The lord has already told you just now, and I am responsible for all the training." Even if you try to judge, it's useless. ”
"But we're not convinced!" Some centurions have already been appointed, but some are still not convinced, and continued.
"Why are you not convinced, if you are defeated by the chief below you, do you still have the face to be this centurion? Now everyone is treated equally, if you can defeat me, then you can sit in my seat, but I don't know if you have the strength. ”
After Wang Qing finished speaking, he let go of his momentum and pressed towards everyone. These centurions are all average, and they can withstand the momentum of a first-class military general like Wang Qing, and they all feel like a mountain pressing on them, and they are speechless.
"Moreover, I will announce one more thing, this time the cottage will only select fifteen hundred people for me to train, so only fifteen centurions are needed. These fifteen people will be selected from among you first, and they will go to the school field later, and the first fifteen people will be selected through a competition, and the rest of the team will be responsible for mining in the future, and my Wang Qing's team will never accept the weak. After Wang Qing saw that these people were convinced, he threw out another message, which was also what Zeng Yu asked him to do, after all, the mining team also needs to be managed.
These centurions were almost persuaded by Wang Qing's words before, after all, no one had the face to continue to serve as centurions after being defeated by Shi Chang. At this time, I heard Wang Qing say that he would not accept the weak, and they were all bloody, and if they wanted to behave well, they couldn't let Wang Qing look down on them.
Wang Qing saw that these centurions were gritting their teeth one by one at this time, and his eyes glanced at the comrades around him from time to time, he smiled in his heart, knowing that they wanted to defeat the other centurions at this time, so he said, "Let's go, go to the school field." ”
Wang Qing took the lead, and the other centurions followed, and the group rushed to the school field, and from time to time there were soldiers in the middle who saluted Wang Qing and them, and they all admired Wang Qing when they saw him, especially those who had attacked Canglong Ridge with Wang Qing.
Wang Qing also smiled and signaled to everyone one by one, and when the centurion behind him saw this, he knew that maybe in the minds of the soldiers, Wang Qing's status was higher than them.
When everyone arrived at the school, Wang Qing told several people about the rules of the competition. At this time, there were a total of twenty-three centurions in the cottage, and he asked everyone to draw lots to fight in pairs, and the eleven who lost plus the extra one in front continued to divide into two teams to compete and select seventeen people. He then selected two of the best archery skills from these seventeen people and left them to Wu Qin, Wu Qin is now in Jinniu Village, and he doesn't know the situation here, but he can select two centurions for them first, and the other person will be selected after moving to Jinniu Mountain.
Soon, more than twenty centurions completed the first draw and divided into two teams. Wang Qing asked them to compete one by one. The soldiers in the cottage saw their centurion competing, and those who had no tasks came to watch the battle, and soon, the periphery of the school field was covered with a circle of soldiers. The centurion standing in the school field was even more excited at this time, only thinking about defeating the opponent, first, he couldn't let Wang Qing see clearly, and second, he didn't want to lose face in front of the soldiers, especially in front of his own men.
I saw that the centurion of the competition was all using all their strength, but fortunately, Wang Qing asked the soldiers to prepare wooden knives and swords a long time ago. Watch them swing their swords hard at their opponents, while the other blocks with their swords, defending while looking for opportunities to counterattack, slashing back and forth. There is even a centurion competition when the two are competing fists and feet, this kind of fist to the flesh, until one person lies down to the confrontation, which makes the soldiers see the blood boiling, and the soldiers spontaneously cheer for their centurion.
"Come on, centurion!"
"each other!"
An hour later, the first round of the competition was over, and Wang Qing told everyone to rest first, and then prepare for the second round of the draw. There were only six games in the second round, and because there was one person who had a bye in the first game, his game was placed at the end, also to give the centurion he was compared more rest.
The second round of the competition is more difficult than the first round, after all, if you lose this time, you won't have a chance, so let the two people who competed on the field do their best. But alas, some people win, and there are always people who lose.
At the end of the competition, the six failed centurions stood by with their heads down, as if they felt that the soldiers next to them were looking at them with contempt, and they wanted to go down. Suddenly, they noticed that there seemed to be a few more shadows in front of them, and they couldn't help but raise their heads, and after seeing who it was, they were stunned for a moment.
Zeng Yu came over during the second competition, and he was also standing outside the school field, so these centurions didn't notice him, but after the competition was completed, he asked Zhu Wen to open the way and came to several people, followed by Zhu Wen and Pei Yuanshao, and Wang Qing also walked next to him at this time. Zeng Yu looked at the six people, and at this time they even had some bruises on their bodies and even faces, which were left over from the competition just now.
"I know you feel ashamed, but it's not terrible to be ashamed, it's terrible to lose your life. And you are in charge of the logistics troops, and he is also an indispensable part of our whole. You must also be trained in the logistics unit, and if you perform well in the future, you can also come to the battle sequence. Today I admire your spirit, you are all good. ”
Zeng Yu said to these people that he had just watched their competition, and no one flinched, and some even got up immediately after being knocked to the ground and continued to fight. Such soldiers, such centurions, even if they lost the competition, but as soldiers, their spirit did not lose, and they also taught a lesson to all the soldiers around them.
"I apologize to you for what I just said, none of you are weakling, you are a real fighter." Wang Qing watched their competition from beginning to end, and said to a few people at this time.
When several centurions heard Zeng Yu and Wang Qing's words, their hearts warmed, and tears appeared in their excited eyes, but they held back, they felt that they couldn't cry at this time, so they wiped their hands on their faces, and then knelt down in unison, and said: "Swear allegiance to the lord, we must strengthen training and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy as soon as possible." ”
"Swear allegiance to the death, strengthen training, and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy as soon as possible!"
When the soldiers next to him heard this, they also knelt down in unison, and shouted in their mouths, including the seventeen centurions who had won the previous competition.
Zeng Yu helped up a few people and let everyone else get up, he walked to the high platform and said to everyone: "I think many people know the news of the adjustment of the cottage system, and some people will feel that staying in the logistics will be looked down upon." I want to say, you are all wrong, there is no logistics, what do our fighters eat? What to drink? What to wear? With what? I assure you that I have not despised any of my men before, nor will I ever belittle. ”
"Swear allegiance to the Lord!"
At this time, people are so simple, there is a very direct morality in their hearts, if someone can treat themselves sincerely, they can give their lives to each other.
He stepped down from the stage and told Pei Yuanshao that he would call the centurions who failed the competition to the conference hall later. The environment just now is not suitable for talking too much, and he needs to explain something to a few people.
After Zeng Yu said something to Wang Qing, he took Zhu Wen to his residence, he originally planned to go to Li Hu, but here he was attracted by the competition arranged by Wang Qing and the soldiers on the field, so he delayed for a while, so he simply went back first and dealt with the matter here.
Not long after returning to his residence, the soldiers guarding the gate came in and reported to him that Pei Yuanshao had brought a few centurions over. He asked the soldiers to invite Pei Yuanshao and a few people in.
After a few people came in, they saluted Zeng Yu. Zeng Yu asked a few people to sit down next to them, and several people naturally sat down gratefully, and they all sat down very upright.
"Yuan Shao, I asked to bring them over this time because I had an idea. The soldiers in the cottage were almost all young and strong, and it was easy to select close to 2,000 people, and the rest of the horses were temporarily arranged for them to mine. But I don't plan to let these brothers spend the rest of their days mining, they also have to train, and after the expansion of the cottage, the mining business will be completely handed over to the captives, and now the mining brothers are responsible for taking care of them, and at the same time responsible for the usual patrol and vigilance of the cottage. ”
When Pei Yuanshao and the six centurions heard this, they were overjoyed, and immediately came to the middle, knelt down to Zeng Yu, and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, we will definitely double our training and never slack off." ”
Zeng Yu got up from his seat and helped Pei Yuanshao forward, so that the centurions also stood up. He looked at Pei Yuanshao and said, "Yuanshao, I plan to hand over the training of the logistics team to you, can you reassure me?" ”
"Lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, it's okay for you to let me kill people, but I really don't know how to train as an elite soldier." Pei Yuanshao touched his shiny head and said.
"It doesn't matter, I'll write you a training outline later, explain it to you, and you can train them according to this outline." Zeng Yu knew that Pei Yuanshao did not have a systematic training method, but the reason why he gave him this task was also because he had his own plans, he wanted to do an experiment in the current era with some of the training methods he had mastered in later generations to see if it could have better results, and he believed that Pei Yuanshao would definitely train in strict accordance with his own requirements.
"That's no problem, don't worry, my lord, I will definitely urge all the soldiers to strengthen their training." Pei Yuan said that when he heard that his worries were solved, he immediately agreed.
"The six of you, remember to cooperate with Yuan Shao's training requirements. If you can fulfill the training tasks I have set, I believe that your combat effectiveness may be able to catch up with Ziwu's team. Zeng Yu said to the centurions again.
"Yes!" When several centurions heard this, they admired Zeng Yu even more in their hearts, they didn't expect that their lord would have a new training method.
"Okay, you guys go down first, Ziwu is going to select soldiers in the next few days, and you should also cooperate."
"I'll retire!"
After a few people saluted, it was still Pei Yuanshao who took the lead and walked to their respective barracks, they knew that Pei Yuanshao would definitely have soldiers under them in the next selection, which required them to cooperate with the transfer.
