Chapter 3: Li Chong's Journey to the Army
In 203 AD, Li Chong and Guan, the yellow-haired boy in the past, have now become a handsome guy. Maybe it's because he is a young man practicing martial arts, Li Chong is burly, with a height of 1.9 meters, and he looks taller and stronger than Li Ming.
Li Chong condensed his innate Qi when he was less than ten years old, and cultivated "Domineering", this kid now has a tendency to catch up with Li Ming. Sometimes, Li Ming even has a feeling that this world is about to belong to these young people!
Li Chong, a kid, also officially graduated from the Shouchun Military Academy and went to the front line to serve. During his time at Shouchun Military Academy, he used the name Xiang Chong, because no one knew his true identity, including his instructors. After graduation, he did not take special care, and after the assessment, he was finally transferred to serve in the Northern Expeditionary Corps and was placed under Wei Yan.
"Father, mother, aunts, brothers and sisters, I'm gone!" Li Chong entered the barracks before dawn under the farewell of everyone, and when he left, he didn't even dare to walk at the main gate, but walked through the back door.
"Why don't you take care of it?" Xun Cai was a little sad, and his mother was worried, not to mention that he was still in the army.
"I have ordered Wang Yu to take care of it quietly, and there are shadow guards to protect it, the key is that this is his choice. I let him run the government, but he was not interested, so I let him go crazy in the army for a while. Li Ming sighed, this son is like him, it is a good thing and not a good thing.
A second-generation king needs someone with strong governance ability to serve as a general. Li Chong's military talent is very high, but his political talent is not satisfactory, which can only be maintained under the influence of Xun Cai and Cai Yan.
In contrast, thirteen-year-old Li Nan has shown excellent political talent since he was a child. On the contrary, his military talent is average, coupled with his congenital deficiencies, he cannot condense his innate qi, and for him, his acquired qi is only used to strengthen his body.
Li Ling and Li Neng have not grown up yet, and they can't see anything yet, but the focus is estimated to be on Li Ling.
"Hehe, I never thought it would reach the point where I would have a headache with the heir!" Li Ming couldn't help laughing at himself.
"Li Chong was only twenty years old, and Wang Yu looked at him and taught him something political. What will happen in the future, who knows, not to mention that you are only 38 years old, and you are in the prime of life. When Xun Cai heard this, he couldn't help crying and stepped forward to comfort him.
"That's right, I'm the Great Chu God of War, surpassing the existence of the Western Chu Overlord!" Li Ming said with a smile.
The atmosphere also eased, everyone watched Li Chong leave, and ten days later, Li Chong also took the name of Xiang Chong, said goodbye to his classmates, and then went to Puyang to take up his post with the same officer. Yes, Wang Yu relocated the general command center of the Northern Expeditionary Corps to Puyang.
Wang Yu did not summon Xiang Chong personally, he knew Li Chong's identity, but here he was only the newly promoted Xiang Lieutenant.
What's more critical is that Li Chong and Wang Xi are engaged and will get married five years later. Considering Li Chong's occupation, it is estimated that there is more to gather less. Thinking of this, Wang Yu was indignant, for the sake of his daughter, he had to clean up this rabbit cub.
Then someone discovered that this training task called Xiang Chong was actually half more than others. Wei Yan couldn't figure out why Wang Yu was targeting Xiang Chong so much, but seeing that Xiang Chong still completed the task on time, he couldn't help but wonder if he wanted to add some burden to the other rabbit cubs, and if he didn't train hard, he couldn't force out their potential.
So from this year onwards, the recruits and officers under Wei Yan had a hard time. The effect is very good, they have all been exercised, and the achievements are destined to not be bad. Of course, that's all for later, so let's not mention it now.
"Liangzhi (Li Chong's words), did you offend General Wei there? How did you toss so much? Wen Qin (Wen Ji's eldest son), who was also a school captain, watched Li Chong complete the indicators and come back to rest, and couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"Is there one? I think this is just right, and the tasks that were originally assigned are a bit lighter. Actually, I think our chief has taken good care of me. Li Chong smiled, Wei Yan obviously just obeyed the order, and the only one who really gave the order could only be Wang Yu.
It is understandable that Wang Yuhui looks at him unpleasantly, he has had a close relationship with Dong Bai since he was a child, and the key is that Dong Bai is older than Wang Xi. It is estimated that the future father-in-law is also worried that Wang Xi will be excluded by Dong Bai if he marries him, and his life will not be good. At this time, the mother's family is Wang Xi's biggest backer, so before that, he has to let him know the ability of Wang Xi's family.
"Your family must be very wealthy, look at your figure, no matter how you look at it, you are not from a poor family. Look at me, my father is also from a small family, but as a result, I don't have a Xuan-level exercise foundation to build a foundation, so I can only condense the acquired qi. Entering the army, the amount of training now is barely enough for me to cope with desperately, and if I increase it by half, it is estimated that I will be exhausted to death. Wen Qin smiled bitterly.
"The ancestors accidentally left this secret book, but in order to survive when I was a child, I didn't suffer less. You and I are both in the same term, so naturally we know! Li Chong said with a smile.
This Wen Qin had to admit that after Li Chong entered the military academy, he took on several work-study tasks without being delayed in his studies. It is precisely because of this that there is enough nutrition to grow. It's not impossible to cultivate the innate qi, this thing involves follow-up nutrition, and if the nutrition can't keep up, there will be a problem, and it is possible to regress into the acquired qi.
The drill is quite heavy, but the food is really good, with meat and soup. Everything is open to supply, but refuses to waste. This policy of preferential treatment of soldiers has been implemented since Li Ming commanded the army, and has become a tradition of the Chu army.
Without such supplies, how could the Chu army become the world's strongest army? Training plus nutrition, one can't be missing!
After eating and washing, everyone began to rest. Next, they undergo a three-month acclimatization training, followed by additional training. It is necessary to study not only the combat effectiveness but also the knowledge of command, especially the ideological and political education, and this disqualification will even affect promotion. Finally, there are appropriate actual combat exercises where what you have learned can be put into practice.
Li Chong likes military life very much, and sometimes he feels that this is the place where he should stay, even to study cultural courses, and he does not reject military knowledge. On the contrary, let him govern the government and manage logistics, but he can't manage people and even balance the interests of various factions.
Joining the army, there may not be no intention of escaping, he doesn't want to be an emperor who has been nesting in the palace for a lifetime, if he can, he would rather give up, even if it is comfortable to be a general.
"This Li Chong...... How can I say it...... "Three months have passed in a blink of an eye, Li Chong has performed well in various tests, especially in the actual combat exercises, and has stood out with excellent results, even Wei Yan has a different view of him, only Wang Yu saw something after looking at these reports.
"He's going to tell us, 'He just wants to be in the army, not to inherit the throne!'" Wang Yu sighed.
"He is the eldest son in the end, and some things are inevitably involuntary. He is still young, and some things will naturally be figured out later, and it is useless for us to be anxious now, isn't it? Zhang Ning put his arms around Wang Yu's neck behind him and said in a loud voice.
"Also, maybe he is not the emperor, but it is a real good thing for Xi'er." Wang Yu sighed, because of some special circumstances, he didn't have a second child, seeing that he was such a sweethearted baby, he naturally took out his heart and lungs.
"It's really troublesome!" Wang Yu picked up a piece of information from the front line and whispered to Zhang Ning, "Our side is actually not very peaceful, what did Li Ming think, he actually let Li Chong come to us!" On the battlefield, I can't take care of him! ”
According to accurate intelligence, Yuan Shao's side is actively preparing supplies, or there is a possibility of starting a war!
