Chapter 462: The Origin of the Demon King's Nickname
Before dawn the next day, Zhao Ziliang rushed to the barracks with his servants, and at that time, the bell rang for the assembly in the barracks, and the soldiers and military leaders in the barracks and tents hurriedly wore helmets and armor, and came to the school field with knives and guns.

Zhao Ziliang stood on the platform with the hilt of the knife in his hand, looking at the soldiers and military leaders who ran over from the barracks and tents in various places, and the subordinates, the generals of the Hou Mansion, the generals of the family and the captains of the battalions in the army all stood behind him with solemn expressions.
Within five minutes, all the soldiers and military leaders were assembled, and the school field was lined up in a neat horizontal and vertical queue, with swords and guns, and no one made a sound.
Zhao Ziliang shouted loudly: "Count the number of people in each battalion!" ”
The Tang army stationed here has a total of seven battalions, including 4,000 cavalry, 5,000 infantry, three cavalry battalions, three infantry battalions, plus a scout battalion, the scout battalion is all elite cavalry, proficient in espionage and reconnaissance, assassination, traps, intelligence gathering and other skills, suitable for survival in various environments, Zhao Ziliang is ready to report to the imperial court after a while to set up the Mobei Army here, and now this army has begun to appear in scale, as long as the imperial court gives a name, it can become an army, Zhao Ziliang prepared to write this matter into the chapter, and Cheng Yuanzhen brought it back to Chang'an to present it to Xuanzong.
With Zhao Ziliang's order, each battalion began to count the number of people at the same time, and the results of the count of the number of people were quickly reported to today's duty officer Gao Xiuyan here, Gao Xiuyan frowned after hearing this, turned around and walked to Zhao Ziliang and reported loudly: "Master Qiqi, there are a total of twelve people in the whole army who have not arrived, and they are all twelve new generals who came yesterday!" ”
At this time, there was a quarrel from the edge of the school field, and Zhao Ziliang raised his eyebrows: "Drink, what's going on over there?" Send someone to check it out! ”
"No!" Gao Xiuyan agreed, and immediately sent a captain to check the situation, and the captain quickly turned around and reported: "Master Hou, general, the twelve new generals and colonels who came yesterday all got up too late just now, and they were all late, and they were blocked outside the school yard by the soldiers standing guard, and there was a quarrel between the two sides!" ”
Zhao Ziliang's face was a little ugly, and he waved his hand: "Go and bring them in!" ”
"No!"
Cheng Ruobing, Xue Song, Su Jilie and other twelve new generals were quickly brought over, and stood in a row under the order to salute Zhao Ziliang: "See Lord Hou!" ”
Zhao Ziliang asked with a straight face: "What did General Ben tell you yesterday?" Let you order and practice with all the soldiers today, and do not do anything special, but you are not only late, but you are also late for a cup of tea, if the enemy army raids, will they give you time to be late? Gao Xiuyan, what should I do if I am late or not there? ”
Gao Xiuyan immediately said: "Those who are late for a tea time are not allowed to eat breakfast, and the morning exercise and running circle will be doubled; Confinement for a day. Those who are a moment late are not allowed to eat for one day and are locked up for three days; Those who do not arrive without asking for leave will be severely beaten with 20 military sticks and locked up for five days! ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded, and pointed to Cheng Ruobing and the other twelve people in the audience: "Did you hear that?" If you are a first-time offender, you will be exempted from confinement, you are not allowed to eat this morning, and you will double your morning exercise and running circles! If there is a lazy slipper, he will be beaten with thirty sticks. Yesterday you were appointed to your military posts, and you made a mistake before a day, and not punishing you is not enough to deter the morale of the army, and you are all removed from military positions, and from now on, you are a small soldier, and this general is personally responsible for training you every day, and the people who come will give orders to the battalions, and now start running drills! ”
"No!"
Starting from the scout camp, each battalion began to run out of the barracks and run around the north city of Zhenbei, after everyone ran out, Zhao Ziliang held the handle of the knife and walked down the platform to Cheng Ruobing and the other twelve people and shouted: "Obey the order, turn right, run forward!" ”
Cheng Ruobing and the others turned around one after another, and some of them couldn't tell the difference between left and right, which caused the surrounding servants and the generals of the Hou Mansion and the generals to laugh.
Zhao Ziliang ran beside everyone with a horsewhip in his hand, shouting as he ran: "Run, are they all girls?" You turn in the wrong direction, you can't tell the difference between left and right, are you a fool or a fool? ”
After saying that, with a whip over, Xue Song was beaten so hard that he almost fell to the ground, and finally stabilized his body, but the people behind him didn't pay attention to hit him, and knocked him down.
"The ones in the back keep up!"
Xue Song, who was behind the others who crossed the end, followed the large army and ran out of the barracks, leaving only Xue Song alone still lying on the ground grinning, Zhao Ziliang ran up and whipped another horsewhip, which made Xue Song let out a miserable scream, and immediately frightened his buttocks and urine, and ran out of the barracks with a rolling belt.
Zhao Ziliang practiced these new Second Ancestor generals, and his servants could not be idle, so they could only run behind him, Zhao Ziliang saw that so many people were following him and delaying time, so he asked Brehan to run to the front with his followers, and he stayed alone in the end to practice these Second Ancestors.
The entire team of the running circle was a few Cheng Ruobing, the second ancestors ran at the end, they ran quite fast at first, but after only running three miles, they were tired and out of breath, and several obviously slowed down, Zhao Ziliang immediately ran up and waved the horsewhip and whipped over, which made these people scream again and again.
Zhao Ziliang scolded while smoking: "What? Can't run now? Look at you bears, all of them are waste bags and rice buckets, and then look at the other soldiers running in front, even if it is an ordinary soldier, they are stronger than you, are you embarrassed to be a captain or a captain? I'm not ashamed! ”
"Hurry up and run, waste, rice buckets, manure machines! So tired like a dead dog? Aren't you arrogant in Chang'an? Take out your arrogance in Chang'an, and if there is a kind of you, you will catch up with the brigade and surpass everyone! Zhao Ziliang kept running alongside, scolding as he ran, and from time to time he whipped people who were slowing down.
Even Xue Song, who has the highest kung fu in this, has not undergone this kind of intense training, according to the normal amount of training, the morning exercise has to run two laps around Zhenbei City, about ten kilometers, and Cheng Ruobing, Xue Song, Su Jilie and other twelve people have to run four laps if they want to double, that is, twenty kilometers, and they will be tired like dead dogs in just one lap, including Xue Song.
During the whole process of running circles, Zhao Ziliang has been scolding and beating, these people are soaked after running a lap, Zhao Ziliang asked them to take off their armor and run again, which made them happy for a while, but they quickly realized how painful it was to have no armor, Zhao Ziliang's horsewhip was whipped on their smooth skin, and there was a blood mark in an instant, this pain was simply unbearable, everyone was more or less whipped a few times, and there were blood marks everywhere on their bodies, which was extremely miserable.
After four laps and 20 kilometers, it took three hours to finish, and when these people returned to the barracks, they all fell to the ground and gasped violently, and no one had the strength to get up alone.
Zhao Ziliang left them alone when he returned to the camp, and went directly to the cafeteria for breakfast, and these people regained some strength on the ground and began to complain.
I don't know who shouted first: "Oh, my, why is the morning exercise here actually running in circles, and running so far, is this killing people?" If you run like this every day, who can stand it? ”
Xue Song gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Ziliang, the demon king, is so hateful, he actually pampers us like this, I have never run so far since I was in my mother's womb, my legs are unconscious, and my lungs are blown up!" Is this a human life? How did the soldiers survive? ”
Unconsciously, the nickname of the Demon King became Zhao Ziliang's nickname, and after Xue Song called out, these people called Zhao Ziliang the Demon King from then on.
Cheng Ruobing said weakly: "Don't speak, you still have the strength to speak, and when the demon king comes back and is heard by him, I don't know how to fix us!" ”
"I feel like I'm going to die, I'm tired like this on the first day, it's still light, how will I live this day in the future? Hey, I think I'll find a way to write a letter to my family and transfer it back! ”
When Zhao Ziliang returned here after breakfast, these people had recovered some physical strength, but they were very hungry, and the consumption of three hours of running was too great, so it was strange that they were not hungry, but because of their tardiness, they were punished by not being allowed to eat breakfast, and they could only be hungry, and then they knew that the taste of hunger was so uncomfortable.
There were still several hours before lunch, Zhao Ziliang began to train them to stand in a military posture, at first these people thought that this was comfortable, and they would definitely not be tired of standing like this, but standing for several hours made these people as difficult as ants crawling, and the slightest movement was whipped by Zhao Ziliang's horsewhip.
In the next period of time, Zhao Ziliang trained them to stand in a military posture, stand up and take a break, turn and march in a queue, increase the amount of running laps that could not be thundered in the morning and raid emergency assembly every night, and practice every day so that these guys can't die if they want to die, and they can't live if they want to live.
Cheng Yuanzhen rested in Zhenbei City for three days, and then he couldn't wait to take Zhao Ziliang's recital to Emperor Xuanzong and take a few servants to Chang'an in a carriage, because there are still some horse bandits entrenched in the grassland, for Cheng Yuanzhen's safety, Zhao Ziliang also sent troops to escort him to the Great Wall, until he entered the sphere of influence of the cloud guard.
That night, Zhao Ziliang called Zhang Shouyu, Gao Xiuyan, Guo Ziyi and others and said: "In the battle to eliminate the Khitan and Xi people last year, you all performed well, and the general has already promoted Zhang Shouyu to the imperial court to take over the post of Datong military envoy, and to promote Gao Xiuyan to the post of Lan military envoy!" ”
The two were overjoyed when they heard this, and stood up together and saluted: "Thank you, Master Hou!" ”
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me, I believe that the appointment document of the imperial court will be issued in the near future, you must guard this foundation after you go back, now the Khitan and Xi people in the north are gone, but you still can't take it lightly, there are still powerful tribes such as Hui, Turkic, Ba Ximi and Qarluq in the west, and their territory is not far from Hedong, so you must guard against their sneak attacks!" In addition, we must also prevent the resurgence of the power of those families in Hedong, we finally have the foundation of Hedong, you must manage it well, don't let General Ben down! ”
The two arched their hands and said: "Don't worry, Master Hou, I will definitely live up to Master Hou!" ”
Zhao Ziliang looked at Guo Ziyi again and said: "Ziyi, this position is guarded in the clouds, and this general has always kept it for you, but your current credit is not enough, so let's do it, it just so happens that this general wants to eradicate the horse bandits hidden in this desert, this general will give you a chance, give you a thousand soldiers and horses, cavalry and infantry for you to choose, in short, it cannot exceed a thousand people, two months later, this general does not want to hear the news that there are horse bandits in our grassland, if you can do it, this general will promote you to be the cloud guard!" ”
From a deputy lieutenant to the position of the cloud guard and capture envoy at once, it can be said that he has been promoted several levels in a row, if there is no real combat exploits, it is easy to be criticized, but Guo Ziyi is obviously not a person who gives up easily, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your support, please rest assured, Ziyi will live up to expectations!"
