Cao Cao was a smart man, and he was a very attentive person.

A few days ago, Cao Cao didn't observe too many things, thinking that what use would be it for the soldiers to turn left and right.

But after a few days, he observed that many aspects of the soldier had changed.

Especially in terms of mental outlook, there is a new feeling.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that many people came to serve as soldiers just for a mouthful of food, and although they came, they looked lifeless.

But today's soldiers are slowly starting to glow with vigor.

"This Zhang Yu is a rich man, if you make this way of eating, where will the military salary given by the imperial court be enough."

Cao Cao is quite familiar with the situation of Zhang Yu's army, and he eats three meals a day, and he is full of meat for two meals.

Nowadays, it is difficult for many soldiers to be full, and they still want to eat meat, and it is estimated that they will not be able to eat it twice a month.

But Cao Cao deliberately asked people to go back to investigate and calculate, and the food of these 6,000 people is tens of thousands of dollars a day, which is terrifying for high military expenses.

But Cao Cao discovered Zhang Yu's intentions after a few days.

"This food can not only quickly improve the morale of the soldiers and give them hope for life, but also their physical fitness will also be improved quickly."

Obviously, many people couldn't eat enough before, but now they are not only full, but they can also have meat every day, and these people naturally recover quickly.

It was originally carefully selected, the quality is very good, and with good food, it will naturally recover quickly.

After they slowly recovered, Cao Cao also found that their training intensity was also slowly increasing.

"This Zhang Yu led the troops, and there really is a set, not to mention how much combat effectiveness there is, these people, in just a few days, have been trained very well, and the order in the army is good." Cao Cao summed up another one.

Nowadays, the soldiers' routines, rest, walking, eating, sleeping, and so on are all in accordance with the rules, which is very organized, and the entire military operation is very orderly.

That's why Cao Cao admired it very much.

Despite Cao Cao's continued belief that although these benefits were very great, they did not have much effect on improving combat effectiveness.

Zhang Yu has been training for so long, just training these, and has not trained soldiers to fight and arrange troops.

"What the hell is this Zhang Yu, he didn't even train the battle array, you know, it is impossible for soldiers to train the battle formation for half a year, but he Zhang Yu has not started for a long time."

Cao Cao observed in Zhang Yu's military camp for half a month.

One day, Cao Cao did not come alone, but brought several people.

"Meng De, you hurriedly summoned a few of our brothers from Chenliu in order to let us watch Zhang Yu's training?" Cao Hong said.

"Not exactly." Cao Cao looked at Xiahou beside him and said to the clansmen of the Cao clan: "Zhang Yu fought with Liu Bei's generals before, let me know that my strength alone is too weak, so I summoned you over, and took you to see Zhang Yu's training, I found a lot of shocking and incomprehensible things, so I took you to see." ”

It turned out that after Guan Yu and Dian Wei fought that day, Cao Cao sent someone back to call the people from the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

"You guys go separately first, I've already said hello to Zhang Yu, as for the rest, we'll talk about it again when we go back in the evening."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, let them each go to see the soldier training.

At the end of the day, Cao Cao carefully observed and did not let go of any details.

Cao Cao almost went down to practice with the soldiers in person.

If it was in his own military camp, Cao Cao would not hesitate to do so, but this is someone else's territory, and he must take into account his own identity.

Another day passed, and Cao Cao returned to the city.

"Tell me all." Cao Cao said to the people who went to see the training with him today.

Cao Ren spoke first: "Meng De, don't say anything else, the order of this Zhang Yu's military camp is really good, he is indeed a general with a good army. ”

Cao Cao nodded and let the others continue.

Xiahoudun said: "Meng De, I don't understand, their military camp is indeed very orderly, and the discipline is also very strict, but all day long there left and right, walking around, what combat effectiveness can they have, it is estimated that they went to the battlefield and were crossed by the enemy." ”

Cao Hong, Xia, Hou Yuan and others also expressed their opinions.

Everyone was not optimistic about Zhang Yu's training methods.

"There is one thing you may not know, that is, this army has only been eighteen days from the completion of recruitment to now, and in just eighteen days, Zhang Yu can do this, no matter what the combat effectiveness is, it is absolutely amazing." After they all finished speaking, he said solemnly to a few people.

Everyone listened to Cao Cao's look of disbelief.

On the training ground, they saw that a few soldiers were training with dozens of soldiers, and during the training, the veterans carefully taught and corrected them one by one.

Of course, the training is also very strict, and if you give an order, if you make a mistake, or if you don't care about it during training, those so-called instructors will punish them.

The punishment is just a hundred or other "push-ups." ”

In Cao Cao's opinion, this push-up is easy to complete, but what they don't know is that this is also training, and at the same time, everyone has a sense of shame, and it is very humiliating to be punished in front of a group of comrades.

In their opinion, it may not be of much use to combat effectiveness, but everyone does not doubt the usefulness of these trainings.

At least it can quickly make a newly formed soldier run in quickly and become a disciplined army.

As for combat effectiveness, Cao Cao has always had reservations.

Cao Cao carefully studied Zhang Yu's past battles, and Zhang Yu never had an advantage in terms of strength, but he won every time, so Cao Cao did not doubt the combat effectiveness of Zhang Yu's army.

It's just that Cao Cao thinks that because he has been watching there, Zhang Yu deliberately did not conduct other training, but just trained these to show him.

"This Zhang Yu is guarding against me, how can I know how he is training later, I don't believe that Zhang Yu has no other good training methods, you know, he suffered great casualties on the battlefield, and then constantly replenishes new troops, if there is no good training method, replenish new soldiers, and command the combat effectiveness of the army to decline." Cao Cao said.

"Meng De, this Zhang Yu is guarding against us, but for a while, he can't keep not training, and when the eight captains are all formed and set up camp and train together, Zhang Yu won't be able to train at that time." Cao Ren said.

Cao Cao nodded, but it was a pity, now he has the most time, and when the eighth lieutenant is formed, he will also have to train the army, where is the time.

If these speculations of theirs were heard by Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu would definitely feel very aggrieved, he didn't want to hide it from them, but it was indeed not time to train for other years.

In Zhang Yu's opinion, the queue training of recruits takes at least a month, and it is only less than twenty days.

But a month later, although the training is rest, the queue training still has to be trained every day.
