Volume II, Chapter 44, Under the Soldiers

This was the first order given by the general after they were selected into the army, and no one dared to disobey the order, and after a while, fifty people all put logs on their shoulders and ran under Zheng Xiong's order.

If you let them run, or just let them stick to the logs, none of these people will feel too tired, but if they have bars and logs, and they have to run, this feeling will be much more tiring, and they can't run more than a few hundred meters, and these fifty people have already begun to pull away.

Li Yuan and Yang Tian rode together on their horses and had already rushed to the front, while the back was supervised by Zheng Xiong with several team leaders who had been dispatched.

Li Yuan is already a prince of the state after all, it is not appropriate to let him start from the lower level, and the high-level military positions of the Xuanlong Army were all made up in the last competition and Yang Tian, and then it is not appropriate to adjust, Yang Tian temporarily arranged Li Yuan for a position of counselor in military affairs, this position can be big or small, just let Li Yuan and Yang Tian be tied together.

Although Li Yuan has no power now, but pulling him away is equivalent to getting closer to Li Yuan, the Duke of Yangping, and Li Mu of Shangzhuguo, and Yang Jian and his wife will approve of Li Yuan joining the Xuanlong Army, not to mention that Yang Tian knows that Li Yuan can create a situation in the Tang Dynasty, and he is by no means an idle person, and of course he will not let Li Yuan feel bad.

The speed of the two of them was not fast, and when they reached the flagpole, the sergeants who were racing did not even finish a third of the distance, and looking at the sergeants in the distance running with difficulty carrying logs on their backs, Li Yuan asked suspiciously: "What is the purpose of the general to train the sergeants in this way?" ”

Yang Tian looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "These people will need to wear armor in the future, so it is the power to train them to carry weights." ”

Li Yuan closed his eyes and thought for a moment before saying: "The general's method is really wonderful, the log must be grasped with his hands and kept stable, which is not much different from the cavalry battle of the Iron Armor Army, and the weight of the log can also be compared to the Iron Armor, which is just used to train the Iron Army." ”

At this time, the Great Zhou army is not pan ironclad cavalry, ironclad cavalry is amazingly powerful, but there are also many restrictions, mainly the ironclad cavalry is extremely heavy, the sergeant's armor weighs more than more than 100 catties, non-military elite people can not be competent, the method of training after the election is even more troublesome, if the ironclad cavalry is trained on a horse, the damage to the horse is too great, at least it will reduce the service life of the horse by more than half, and the ironclad cavalry must be a good horse, no army can afford such an expensive training fee. It can only be trained with less or the sergeant carries a sack on his back for training, and it is obviously more beneficial to use logs than to use sacks.

Yang Tian looked at Li Yuan in surprise, he was just drawing a scoop according to the gourd, feeling that this training method was useful for forming an ironclad cavalry, but he didn't expect Li Yuan to think of the key just by looking at it.

Although it was the first time to receive such training, it was not too difficult for these sergeants of the Xuanlong Army, and it only took about half an hour for someone to arrive at the banner. In a quarter of an hour all fifty men arrived, and although they were drenched and covered in mud, they were in a state of embarrassment, but no one had dropped the log on their shoulders.

The five people who arrived first were full of excitement, while the ten people in the back were a little depressed, Yang Tian rode his horse and looked at the five people who arrived first: "Report your names." ”

"Report to the general, humble and respectful."

"The lowly has shaved his head."

"Humble White Authority."

"Humble Li Da Niu."

"Humble Liu Xiaoshi."

"Very good, from now on I will let you be the deputy, but you remember, this time you are only temporarily ahead, if you fail to train in the future, you will still brush it down, after passing, I will appoint five real chiefs, now, each of you choose the team members."

"General Xie!"

The men knew each other well, and soon they each picked a line and stood in five rows, and the ten laggards were not discriminated against, because everyone knew that this was only the first training.

"Okay, now you pick up the log again, and the last one will be punished, remember, all ten must arrive to be completed, and the score is calculated by the last one to arrive."

"Yes." Although everyone is tired, they are not the elite selected from the Xuanlong Army. Hearing the order, he quickly picked up the log on his back and divided into five groups to rush back together.

For more than ten days in a row, Yang Tian trained these fifty people with new tricks every two or three days, Li Yuan was amazed, many training methods he had never heard of, every day these sergeants were tired and exhausted, and every ounce of energy was squeezed out, however, their progress was also obvious, no one quit, everyone gritted their teeth and insisted.

On this day, Yang Tian was training with his own soldiers, and Li Gang hurried to Yang Tian's side: "General, someone is looking for you in the barracks." ”

Yang Tian was a little surprised, these days he has been focusing on the training of his own soldiers, and he doesn't care too much about other things, how could Li Gang deliberately look for himself, and hurriedly asked, "Who is the other party?" ”

Li Gang said: "It's Yao Shengyuan's miracle doctor, and he pointed out that he had to be received by his son." ”

Yang Tian was even more surprised, Yao Shengyuan's medical skills are amazing, but he is arrogant by nature, he has always been begged by others, and Yang Tian is not familiar with him, how can he go to the military camp to look for him. However, hearing Yao Sengyuan's request to see him, Yang Tian still decided to put down his training for the time being and meet this Chang'an celebrity, after all, no one is immune to three diseases and six disasters, and it is not a good thing to offend a famous doctor.

Yao Seng Yuan is already eighty years old, and the white beard under his jaw is more than a foot long, in this era of knowing his fate at the age of fifty, it is really a rare high life, and he is still full of red light, a picture of good spirits, even if he lives ten years old, I am afraid no one will doubt it.

Yang Tian arched his hand to him: "Boy Pu Liuru Yong to meet the old divine doctor." ”

Yao Shengyuan looked Yang Tian up and down: "You said that ginkgo biloba can cure heart disease, where does this medicine grow, why hasn't the old man heard of it?" ”

Yang Tian didn't know that ginkgo biloba was called Gongsun tree in this era, or duck palm, Gongsun means that this kind of tree grows slowly, it takes about 40 years from planting to fruit, grandpa planted the tree, and the grandson can eat it, and the duck palm is named because the leaves resemble duck palms, and the name ginkgo biloba is used as an offering in the Song Dynasty, and the emperor dislikes Gongsun, and the duck paw is not good to change the name.

Yang Tian casually told Yuan Qing'er that ginkgo biloba could cure her heart disease, Yuan Qing'er was convinced, but when she sent someone to find it, no one heard the name ginkgo, so she had to ask Yao Shengyuan for advice.

Yao Seng Yuan was taken aback, there were still names of drugs in the world that he didn't know, and they could treat heart diseases, so he couldn't sit still, regardless of his advanced age, he personally chased to the barracks to inquire.
