After Liu Yi taught the soldiers a lesson, he called the two centurions out of the phalanx, and then said to the soldiers below, "Only they came to gather at the time I said this afternoon, so I have appointed the two of them as centurions, and from now on, you will have to listen to these two people in your daily life, do you understand?" ”

"I understand~" Everyone replied a little unconvinced.

Seeing this, Liu Yi knew that his goal had been achieved, and then said, "Since they have to work on your daily life, in return, there will be twenty copper coins as a reward every month" After speaking, Liu Yi rewarded the two of them with twenty copper coins in front of everyone, and the two of them took the money and knelt down happily to thank Liu Yi.

When everyone saw that there were still twenty copper coins every month, their eyes turned red all of a sudden, and they all began to regret why they hadn't gotten up earlier.

Liu Yi instructed the two to return to the team, and then shouted at everyone, "Don't be discouraged, our team will uphold the selection method of the capable and the mediocre in the future, and every month in the future, I will select two of you who are the best in all aspects to serve as centurions, so if you want to be in the position, you want to continue to hold an official position!" Then you have to train hard to make yourself the best! Did you hear me clearly? ”

"I heard you clearly~" Everyone replied loudly by pulling their necks.

Liu Yi saw that everyone's fighting spirit was stimulated, so he ordered Zhang Fei to start taking everyone to assassinate practice.

Zhang Fei stood on the high platform and held the Zhangba snake spear for the demonstration for everyone, the soldiers below took the spear and learned to draw the gourd, and Wang San was responsible for correcting the soldiers' movements in the phalanx.

On the other side, Yao Lie and others went to the open space on the other side of the school training ground under the leadership of Liu Yi, and at this time nineteen arrow targets had been erected on the open space, and the reason why there were nineteen arrow targets was because Liu Yi knew that his archery skills were not enough, so he also wanted to practice his archery skills with everyone.

The center of the target is made of a washbasin-sized, four-inch thick log, and the tripods made of arm-thick logs on both sides are firmly fixed, and the bottom of the tripod is fixed to the ground with rectangular nails, so that even if you have a thousand strengths, you will not shoot the target down.

Liu Yi instructed his subordinates to draw a line fifty meters away from the arrow target, and then distributed the prepared bows and arrows to the people, each with a five-bucket bow made of high-quality bamboo and wood (about 32 kilograms needed to pull the full moon), and fifty Yanling arrows.

Liu Yi asked everyone to stand outside the drawn line and prepare, and asked everyone to shoot all the fifty arrows in the quiver in a quarter of an hour, not only to ensure the rate of fire but also to ensure the hit rate, and the fifty arrows were only allowed to miss the target of five arrows.

After listening to Liu Yi's request, one of the people in the team smiled and said, "Lord, you are too underestimating me to wait, I will definitely be able to wait at such a close distance!" ”

"Yes, yes~ Besides, it's just fifty arrows, and we will shoot them in half an hour, hahahaha~" The rest of the people also smiled and agreed, feeling that Liu Yi's request was too simple.

"Presumptuous! How do you talk to your lord! Yao Lie saw that everyone was neither big nor small, and scolded sternly.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly retracted their laughter and didn't dare to say more, Liu Yi waved his hand at Yao Lie to stop him from reprimanding everyone, and then said to everyone with a smile: "I didn't say that I only let you shoot one round, I want you to shoot for an hour!" ”

Everyone didn't pay too much attention to the words, Liu Yi thought that there would be a time when you would cry, and then he didn't say much, so he began to practice with everyone.

As everyone said, in the first round, all 50 arrows were shot in less than half an hour, and none of them missed the target. At this time, everyone who was waiting stood aside and looked at Liu Yi who was still shooting arrows with a smile.

Liu Yi only shot out a dozen arrows at this time, and two of them missed the target, Liu Yi saw everyone looking at him with a lewd smile, his old face turned red all of a sudden, put down the arrows in his hand and scolded with a smile, "Don't look at me fucking you!" Can I compare with you! If I had you two, I wouldn't have come to practice with you! ”

The crowd laughed.

"The lord is too humble, the lord is in a high position and does not forget to train with us and other soldiers, he is really a model for my generation," Yao Lie put down the bow and arrow in his hand and complimented.

"You don't pat me on the back! I know my own pounds, I tell you Lao Yao, in a month you have to make me as good as they are now! Liu Yi pointed to the people in front of him and said.

"Don't worry! In a month's time, I'll make your archery better than they are now! Yao Lie patted his chest and reassured.

As soon as the words fell, the subordinates picked up all the six or seven hundred arrows and redistributed them to everyone, and then everyone fired another volley, although this time it was still a hundred shots, but the speed was a little slower, after all, every time the bow was drawn, it took sixty or seventy pounds of strength, and it was not easy for them to shoot fifty arrows at once.

The people on the street outside were very curious to listen to the shouts of "roar~ha~" in the school training ground and the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and they stopped to look into the school training ground, but because the surrounding area of the school training ground had long been surrounded by high wooden walls, everyone could only listen to the sound outside and guess wildly.

Everyone practiced for an hour, in fact, after half an hour, Liu Yi couldn't hold on and stopped, and Liu Yi, who stopped, stood aside while rubbing his arm while observing Yao Lie and others shooting arrows, wanting to see how people shoot arrows.

In the end, everyone couldn't shoot anymore, everyone was sweating profusely, and there were things that missed the target from time to time, Liu Yi saw that the time was almost up, so he walked up to the high platform and ordered everyone to rest for a quarter of an hour.

Liu Yi and Zhang Fei, Yao Lie, and Wang San, who were sweating profusely, sat on a wooden bench on the high platform, drinking hot water brought by their subordinates while resting.

Zhang Fei gulped down the water in the bowl, then burped heavily and then wiped the sweat on his forehead and exclaimed, "It's really cool!" Hahaha, it's really relaxing after this workout! ”

After Liu Yi finished drinking the water, he instructed his subordinates to distribute the hot water to the soldiers below, and then chatted with Zhang Fei and the others.

Several people were chatting, and a servant ran over from outside the school training ground, and the man hurriedly ran to Liu Yi and the others and said respectfully, "Lord, the housekeeper asked the villain to inform the lord, and the person who went to deliver the letter to Lord Liu Yu is back!" ”

"So fast!?" Liu Yiteng stood up and said in surprise, and then hurriedly ordered Zhang Fei and the others to hurry back to the house with the servant.

After Liu Yi arrived at the house, he found that Wang San's wife and the person who delivered the letter were waiting in the hall. ”

Liu Yi held the man's body and said, "Hurry up and excuse me!" Then let the man sit down and sit down beside him.

"What did Lord Thorn Shi say?"

"Back to the lord, Lord Thorn Shi has promised to allocate some food and cotton clothes for us for the winter, Lord Thorn Shi asked the villain to come back first to report, and those materials will be transported from various counties in the near future."

"Okay~Hahaha~ Lord Thorn really loves the people like a son, and now the people of our county will be saved!" Liu Yi patted his thigh and said happily.

After speaking, Liu Yi looked at Wang San's wife and said, "Brother and sister, you can arrange it, let this brother go and rest quickly, don't forget to give more rewards"

"Yes!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Liu Yi thought that he had finally solved his worries, and he couldn't help but be happy, so he thought that he would share such a joy with Cui Si first, and after calling someone, he learned that Cui Si was not in the mansion at this time, and this kid didn't know where he had gone since Liu Yi and the others left in the afternoon.

Liu Yi didn't have time to blame Cui Si, so he stood up and walked out of the house towards the school training ground with a spring breeze on his face.

At this time, in the school training ground, according to Liu Yi's instructions when he left, Wang San was wielding dozens of catties of double halberd axes on the stage and leading the soldiers to practice slashing, and the soldiers did not have the sophisticated ring-head knives of Yao Lie and others, so they could only practice with the ordinary machetes that Liu Yi had made up from everywhere.

At this time, Yao Lie was practicing in pairs, each holding a wooden gun in his hand, and the head of the wooden gun was wrapped in cotton cloth, which was covered with grass and wood ash. At this time, except for Yao Lie, everyone had some marks on their bodies that the other party had on them.

Liu Yi walked into the school training ground and looked at the sweaty people, he was very pleased, and after watching it for about half an hour, when he saw the sunset, he stopped everyone and let everyone rest for a while, and then called Zhang Fei and others to tell the three of them about the food and cotton clothes, and the three of them were also very happy after hearing it.

Knowing that the sky is getting dark, everyone's day's training is over, and everyone eats the same as at noon, which is also steamed bread and broth, but a large amount of ginger is added to the broth under Liu Yi's instructions, the taste is not very good, but it is very cold, Liu Yi is worried that everyone will sweat during the day, and if they don't drink some ginger soup at night to drive away the cold, they may catch a cold, so when they returned home in the afternoon, they deliberately explained to Wang San's wife that ginger should be added to the broth in the future.

Liu Yi and the soldiers finished dinner together, after dinner, Liu Yi and others went to the soldiers' quarters to check it out, according to Liu Yi's instructions during the day, the people have nailed a long wooden trough for soaking feet under the soldiers' kang heads, one side of the wooden trough leads to the outside drainage ditch, the head is tightly made of movable wooden boards, and the baffle can be removed for water discharge after use; The width of the wooden trough is a little longer than a person's foot, and the depth is about a foot, at this time the wooden trough has been filled with steaming hot water, Liu Yi also deliberately sat on the kang head with slippers and experimented with it, feeling that the size was just right, so he called the soldiers to come in and experience it.

Seeing that they could still soak their feet at night, the soldiers took off their shoes and socks one after another, sat on the kang and began to soak them.

"It's so comfortable~Cool~" The soldiers sat on the kang and soaked their feet in the hot water, shouting comfortably.

After standing for a day, everyone's shoes were full of sweat, and some people had sweaty feet, and suddenly the smell in the room was a little spicy.

Zhang Fei scolded while busy pushing open the window: "How long the hell have you not washed your feet?" It's almost impossible for you to open your eyes in this room!! ”

"Adults don't know, where do the little ones have the opportunity to soak their feet! If it weren't for the Lord's gift, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to soak it once a month," one of the two centurions replied respectfully as he helped open the window.

After listening to the centurion's words, Liu Yi promised everyone, "Brothers, I want you to promise that as long as you train in the future, you will definitely ensure that you can soak your feet every night!" ”

The crowd was overjoyed when they heard this, and shouted happily, "Thank you, lord!" ”

Liu Yi looked at the happy appearance of everyone, and was very proud in his heart, feeling that he had grasped something in the entire army, such a thing was the "military heart", Liu Yi's grace and power completely made these soldiers recognize him as the lord from the bottom of their hearts.

After Liu Yi explained to the two centurions, he took everyone back to the house, and when he arrived at the house, he happened to see Cui Sizheng's old god in the hall humming a little song and drinking tea.

Cui Si turned around and saw Liu Yi and the others coming to the door of the hall, and hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and greeted him with a smile.

"Lord, brothers, you are back!"

"We're tired outside, but you kid is at home drinking tea and singing! What a jolly! Liu Yi scolded with a smile.

"Lord, you can't say that about me, I've inquired about the news in the afternoon, and I have found good news!!"

"Oh? What good news, come and hear! Liu Yi asked with interest.

Cui Si looked at Zhang Fei and the others with a stinky face, and then came to Liu Yi's side and muttered a few words.

Liu Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, holding Cui Si with both hands, and asked while shaking Cui Si's shoulders vigorously, "Is this true!?" ”

"Seriously! Seriously... Lord... You tap, it hurts..."
