The banquet was harmonious and warm.

There is no intrigue.

This made Xu Ding feel very pleased.

Only when the rear is stable can we concentrate on dealing with the Western Shang Empire.

Midnight.

The banquet ends.

Xu Ding went to Cai Yan's dormitory and rested with her.

The other concubines were a little unhappy.

However, they also know that Cai Yan is the queen, although she has not yet been officially canonized, but Xu Ding has already said it, and she is the natural mother of the country.

Xu Ding went to her to rest first, and everyone had nothing to say.

"Husband, how long are you going to stay in Xuchang this time?" Lying on the bed, Cai Yan asked.

"From tomorrow, I will be responsible for training special forces. You need to go outside the city, train in the toughest places. Therefore... Probably won't be back anytime soon. ”

Cai Yan was a little disappointed.

She hugged Xu Ding and seemed to sobble again.

"Why are you crying?" Xu Ding wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her.

"It's fine." Cai Yan said: "The husband is outside, you must be careful. I've heard that the enemy's weapons can shoot from a distance of kilometers, which is terrifying. The husband must not be too close. ”

"I know."

Xu Ding smiled and hugged her and fell asleep.

Next.

Early morning.

After Xu Ding washed up, he had a little breakfast.

Take Dian Wei to the arsenal.

There was a large amount of weapons and equipment in the arsenal, as well as a batch of clothes newly made in the knitting workshop.

Xu Ding went to check.

Received 2,000 automatic light machine guns, 2 million rounds of ammunition, 2,000 sets of newly manufactured clothes.

Under the arrangement of Dian Wei, ten military vehicles were loaded.

There were ten Guards on each military vehicle.

"Your Majesty, you're all ready." Dian Wei Dao.

"Let's go, go to the barracks outside the city." Xu Ding got into the military vehicle.

The soldiers who are in charge of driving are all trained.

Although the technology is not good, there is absolutely no problem in walking the main road.

Soon arrived at the barracks.

Knock knock...

Beat the drums of war.

The soldiers all rushed out and gathered in the open space ahead.

Since there was no one to command, the speed of the assembly was slow.

The line is also crooked.

Xu Ding shook his head when he saw it.

"As a special soldier, any ability is better than that of ordinary soldiers, including drills and gatherings. Look at you guys... It's been a long time, and I haven't stood up yet. ”

When Xu Ding reprimanded, the soldiers all looked at each other and tried to keep the queue as neat as possible.

However, in Xu Ding's view, it still does not meet the requirements.

"Today is the first time I've taken sides, and I can forgive you. But next time, you have to do it quickly! Quickly assemble, stand in line, and then report the number... Xu Ding said a few words, but did not explain what the number meant.

"Today's training for you is weight-bearing extreme off-road! Only fifteen hundred of you will be selected, and the rest will be eliminated. Xu Dingdao.

"Your Majesty, what is the extreme off-road with weights?" One of the soldiers closest to Xu Ding asked.

"If you ask questions in the future, you have to shout a report, and I agree with you to ask, so you can ask. Also, during the training, I was your instructor, not Your Majesty. Do you understand? ”

"Understood."

Xu Ding continued: "Extreme cross-country with heavy loads is to carry a weapon on your back, go out of the barracks, and run in one direction. Run until you die! ”

"If anyone can't hold on and stops halfway, he will be eliminated directly. Stick to the best, and I'll give him a reward, no less than a month's ringing money. ”

The salaries of special forces are inherently high.

10,000 dollars a month.

Ten times more than an average soldier.

Xu Ding even promised to reward a month's worth of money.

That's a lot of money.

According to the market price, you can buy a small private house.

The soldiers mostly had no money.

Now that I have the opportunity to make a fortune, I will certainly not give it up.

Suddenly, everyone was gearing up to get this reward.

"Dian Wei, send the gun down. The bullet is not fired first. Xu Ding said.

"No."

Dian Wei sent dozens of Imperial Guards to hand out automatic light machine guns to the soldiers.

Xu Ding taught them the correct posture of holding guns, then got into a military vehicle and said, "Follow me, target Suiyang!" ”

Suiyang is far away from Xuchang.

About a hundred miles.

Even if you ride a horse, you have to run for half a day.

I can't run now.

Just think about how hard it is.

The reward of 10,000 dollars is really not easy to get.

........

Xu Ding led the way in front.

Nearly two thousand people followed.

"Send a couple of military vehicles to the back. If someone is tired and lying down, write down their name. On the way, Xu Ding said to Dian Wei on the side.

"Yes."

Dian Wei personally went to the rear.

This extreme off-road, starting from the southern suburbs of Xuchang, all the way to the south.

The speed of travel is not much slower than that of a military vehicle.

The soldiers were tired and sweaty, drenched and soaked, but none of them gave up. Some of them couldn't run anymore and fell to the ground, but they immediately got up again and kept running.

Dian Wei watched from behind, and couldn't help but admire the perseverance of the soldiers.

I can't hold on, but I still have to hold on.

Three hours later.

I ran forward for more than seventy miles.

Loyal to some soldiers could not hold on and fell to the side of the road.

This time they never got up again, because they fainted.

Dian Wei dragged them to the car and drove them forward.

However, the size of the military vehicle is not large, and it has to be loaded with soldiers and bullets of the Royal Forest Army, which really can't fit too many fainting soldiers. As the number increases, they can only be placed on the side of the road. Every once in a while, send a Royal Forester to take care of them, providing them with water and dry food.

When I ran to eighty miles.

Almost all of them fell.

Dian Wei reported to Xu Ding: "Your Majesty, these three hundred and forty-five people are the first to fall. ”

"All out! When they wake up, collect their equipment and let them go back to Xuchang. Xu Dingdao.

"No."

Considering that most of the people were tired and lay down, they couldn't move. Xu Ding let the Imperial Forest Army camp in place, and let the 1,500 people who passed the pass enter the camp to rest.

At noon.

Xu Ding received a letter.

This epistle came from Hanzhong.

Cao Cao, with the help of Sima Yi, had already defeated Zhang Lu and captured the entire territory of Hanzhong. And the ten counties of Xiliang and Dasanguan, Chencang and other places are connected.

Although Cao Cao did not have many troops, his territory was not small.

If you add the Qinling Mountain Range, it is even larger than the territory he had when he was in Guanzhong.

After Cao Cao obtained Hanzhong, he sent someone to send a letter to Xu Ding.

Expressing their willingness to unite and fight against the enemy in Koto.

But.

Cao Cao had few troops and little food, and Hanzhong and Xiliang had just been pacified, and they needed troops to defend them.

In order to stabilize Xu Ding, he promised in the letter that he would send 30,000 troops to help in the war next year.

After reading the letter, Xu Ding smiled softly: "Cao Cao is afraid that I will attack Xiliang, so hurry up and give in." "Qiankun Listening Book Network

"Cao Cao didn't have many troops. If we send any troops, we can take Xiliang. Dian Wei said.

"Forget it, the Western Shang Empire is trying to attack the Central Plains, and I must go all out. Besides, Cao Cao lost Guanzhong, his strength has dropped greatly, and he can no longer pose a threat to me, so why should I make a big move to attack Xiliang. ”

Xu Ding replied with a letter and handed it to Dian Wei: "Send someone to Hanzhong." ”

"No."

Dian Wei took the letter and left.

.........

Set up camp and rest for the night.

Early the next morning, we continued to Suiyang.

From the camp to Suiyang, it is only less than thirty miles.

Arrived soon.

Xu Ding gathered everyone together and said, "This time we came to Suiyang for two main purposes. One is extreme off-roading, eliminating unqualified soldiers. The second is to learn to swim. There is a river next to Suiyang, and I will give you half a day to study. Half a day later, swim towards the opposite shore. Whoever doesn't know will be eliminated. ”

This was all planned by promise.

As a special soldier, all kinds of techniques must be mastered.

Climbing, diving, overcoming obstacles...

These may be encountered in future battles.

"Well, no more nonsense. Let's get acquainted with the water. Early tomorrow morning, I will take you to the assessment, and if you fail the assessment. will be eliminated. ”

Xu Ding said.

"Yes..." The soldiers did not dare to relax for a moment, and hurried to try to learn to swim. There is only one afternoon, and everyone has to rest in the evening, and they can't study.

If you fail the assessment, you will have to be eliminated.

Then the cause of becoming special will fail.

More than 1,000 people present ran towards the river.

It doesn't matter how deep or shallow the water is, jump in.

Soldiers who are familiar with the nature of the water can naturally swim, and soldiers who are not familiar with the familiar ones will be miserable and eat a lot of water.

Time passes quickly...

Arrived the next day for breakfast.

Xu Ding took everyone to the river.

The river is 100 meters wide and 6 meters deep, which can be regarded as a large river.

Soldiers who do not know the nature of water will not survive if they go down.

Even if you know the nature of the water, you should swim well.

Otherwise, if you are swept away by the waves, you will have to go downstream.

Not being able to reach the other side means that you have failed the assessment.

Xu Ding stood on the shore and said, "In this assessment, the number of people eliminated is not fixed. However, I hope that everyone will give it their all. Do your best. Because if you can't complete the task on time, you will be eliminated. ”

"Dian Wei..."

Xu Ding Chaodian Wei glanced at him.

Dian Wei gestured and said to the soldiers in front of him: "The assessment has begun, so the people go to the Ning River and swim from the south bank to the north bank. A quarter of an hour is limited. ”

"After a quarter of an hour, anyone who does not leave the river is considered a mission failure."

"Let's get started!" Dian Wei shouted.

The soldiers all ran into the distance.

In order to complete the task on time, even his life was sacrificed.

Plop, plop...

Ran to the bank of the river and jumped into the river.

Xu Ding didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he asked Dian Wei to take someone to the side to watch: "Wait for someone to be washed away, hurry up and salvage it." Try not to get killed. This is training, not fighting, no matter how tired and hard we are, we can't train to death. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my people are watching from below. Once someone is washed away, it will definitely be salvaged. Dian Wei said.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly.

The soldiers who jumped into the river were swimming to the other side.

They practiced all night and had some experience.

Those with good water quality sneak in the water and quickly reach the opposite shore.

Stealth is not disturbed by nearby soldiers, and can speed up the journey.

But those who can't swim are miserable.

Jumping into the river, like a weighing stone, fell into it at once.

In addition, the river was turbulent and was quickly washed away.

The soldiers sent by Dian Wei waited downstream, and when they saw those who had been washed down, they all salvaged them.

It didn't take long.

Most of the people swam across the river.

Only more than 200 people did not complete the task on time, and according to the previous regulations, they were all eliminated.

Xu Ding arrived on the other side early.

Anyone who swam past was arranged to rest in a specific place.

"Instructor, when will we train like this?" Not far from Xu Ding, a soldier asked with a pant.

"What, you can't hold on?"

"Nope. I'm just a little tired... ”

Xu Ding said: "The training of special forces is inevitably tiring. ”

"This is just the beginning, and when you actually train, you will know how hard it is to be a special forces. But I can tell you that becoming a special forces soldier is definitely an honor for the whole army. The benefits you have received are not found in other armies. ”

The soldier said: "Instructor, rest assured, we will hold out to the best in the other place." ”

"It's for the best."

Xu Ding also hopes that everyone can stick to the best, so that the number of special forces will increase a lot.

Dian Wei came from a distance and said, "Your Majesty, there are three hundred and thirty people, but they have not been able to swim to the shore on time. I've written down their names. ”

"All eliminated!"

There is no emotion to talk about this kind of thing.

Everyone can learn to swim, but you can't, there is no other way but to eliminate.

"Let's take a break, and after an hour, go cross-country with weights and return to Xuchang." Xu Ding stood up and said.

"Yes."

There were more than 1,100 soldiers left, and they did not dare to take it lightly.

One careless person may be eliminated.

The benefits mentioned before will also be lost.

For the family to get better benefits and live a good life. They must be selected to become special forces.

Titicaca...

The soldiers rested, and when they saw Xu Ding driving away, they all followed behind.

All the personnel carried the weight to the extreme off-road, and then returned to Xuchang.

From Suiyang to Xuchang, more than 100 miles.

It took a day and a half the day before yesterday, and this time it's certainly not too much worse.

In a military vehicle.

Xu Dingchao Dianwei said: "The training and selection of special forces are very strict, and those who are not qualified must be eliminated. If there is something clear, you must not agree. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, no one has come to me to intercede." Dian Wei Dao.

"That's good."

Xu Ding just reminded Dian Wei.

Special forces are the trump card of the Second Army and will have to carry out some impossible tasks. If you don't have real kung fu, you have to die on the battlefield.

For the sake of the overall situation, all the soldiers who are selected must be genuine.

Early the next morning.

The group rushed to Xuchang, about 20 miles away from Xuchang.

The soldiers couldn't run anymore, so Xu Ding asked everyone to come down and rest.

He flipped through everyone's report cards.

The last time I went from Xuchang to Suiyang, I only ran 70 miles, but this time I ran 80 miles. The soldiers are still improving. But the group of people who remain still need to be strengthened.

Only if it is even more unexpected, can it meet the criteria for being selected as special forces.

Da Da...

Ran from the direction of Xuchang for a ride.

Xu Ding was improving the training plan of the special forces, and immediately put down what he was doing and took Dian Wei out.

The soldier ran over and said, "Your Majesty, the defeat of Yangzhou has been reported." ”

Defeat?

Xu Ding hurriedly took a copy of the notebook.

This is written by Zhuge Liang himself.

Since returning from Guangling Port, he and Liu Bei jointly guarded Shouchun. However, the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce, and dozens of bombardments were carried out in a row. The Central Plains Field Army suffered heavy casualties and had retreated to Huainan.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's troops also abandoned Shouchun and went to Huainan to defend it.
