In the middle of the night, a bright moon rises, shining sparkling in the water. Next to Mizusawa, a group of soldiers was resting on the laid hay.

Yuan Xi unfolded the simple map in front of him towards the moonlight, slowly moved his index finger from one point to another, and then tapped hard, and said softly: "Juye Slope is here......"

Li Ping, the smiling tiger next to him, said: "Boss, there are still more than a hundred miles to go, and you have to walk for at least two days, so it's better to rest and rest." ”

Since the bet with Koji Yi, the two sides agreed to march separately, and the preset battlefield was the Juye Slope north of Yecheng. This slope is open, and whoever arrives first can be condescending and take the lead. Therefore, the early rapid march is also part of the competition.

Yuan Xi carefully selected fifty people from the previous team, formed a team, marched with heavy loads, and hurried day and night, only then did he arrive at a place two days away from Juye Slope. But at this time, people are already sleepy, and even if they can arrive in time, they may not have the strength to fight.

Yuan Xi thought carefully about the map, and suddenly said, "No, it can't go on like this." The men of Koji are all strong, and they walk faster than us during the day, and we rely on the march at night to keep us from falling behind. If we arrive at our destination later than them, I'm afraid our morale will plummet. At that time, even the gods will be unable to recover the defeat. ”

On the other side, Xu Dayan yawned and said, "Then what should we do?" ”

He and Li Ping and Fan Yang, who were usually close to him, became Yuan Xi's personal soldiers, giving orders for him on weekdays, and Yuan Xi also became a team leader in the real sense.

"You have to travel day and night, get to your destination tomorrow, and stay overnight to rest."

"How's that going to work?" Li Ping said: "Negative fifty catties, travel 100 miles a day, the Yulin Army, one out of a thousand, has this ability, where can we do it?" ”

"No, it has to be done." Yuan Xi said: "You go and wake everyone up, and you have to leave now, and arrive at Juyepo tomorrow evening." ”

A group of big-headed soldiers were woken up in the middle of the night and shouted one after another, but seeing Yuan Xi's serious face, everyone was embarrassed to make a noise. After more than ten days of queue training, these fifty people have instinctively obeyed Yuan Xi's orders, saying that they would gather, and they automatically formed a circle one by one without commanding.

"Tell me, what are you soldiers for?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xishen talked about this topic in the middle of the night, and the sleepy-eyed men suddenly became interested, and one said: "I am a fellow general, because I owe debts, and I was forced to follow the general." ”

Another person said: "The fields in my hometown were forcibly bought to build mansions, and I didn't want to be a tenant, so I came out to be a soldier." ”

There are also humanitarians: "It is best to make contributions in the future, go back and be able to divide dozens of acres of land, be a pastoral man, and then marry a mother-in-law......"

The crowd laughed and laughed at him for daydreaming.

Yuan Xi said: "Don't laugh, I think his idea is very good." Let's talk about whether his idea can be realized. ”

Some say yes, some say no.

Yuan Xi said: "I think I can, but the possibility is very small. First of all, you go to the battlefield and have to avoid the arrows. Then, if you want to charge, you have to avoid the sharp knives and halberds. In the end, you have to succeed in killing the enemy and cutting off their heads, which is considered a military achievement. Calculate how many of your companions you have to die in the process. How many of you of the fifty will stay? ”

The bubble blown by the truth is the most unpoked. Everyone's eyes widened in the moonlight, their expressions froze on their faces, and they looked at him in a daze, without speaking, but their lips trembled slightly.

Yuan Xi said: "One will succeed through the ages." As long as we lose a battle, those of us who are soldiers, no matter what our dreams are, whether we are farming or marrying a wife, it will be a bamboo basket for nothing. ”

One person asked, "What then?" ”

The others also asked, "What then......

Yuan Xi said: "First, you have to live, no matter what, stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood." The second is to win the battle, only by winning the battle, can you be promoted to captain and even general. Only by winning the battle can you save your life, otherwise you will die at the hands of the law enforcement team even if you become a deserter. ”

"Then how do you win the battle?"

Yuan Xi said: "One is experience, only by accumulating experience, you are more likely to survive on the battlefield." The second is discipline, a strong army, which is supported by discipline. This is my thinking in training, if you want to live well, you have to train well, and train according to my methods. ”

"But ......" Xu said with wide eyes, "Can you win a battle just by training like us?" ”

"Good question!" Yuan Xi said: "The general also has questions about my training method, so we have this competition. This competition has nothing to do with personal honor, for me, kowtow to the general and call grandpa, what is this? I'll go back and continue to be my young master. However, the impact on you is far-reaching. ”

"What does it mean for us?"

Yuan Xi said: "If I win, the general will have to admit that my set of works well, and in the future, we will go to the camp first, and we will use my training methods." With this set of training methods, we will be able to train into strong soldiers, and the chances of winning a battle will be much greater. ”

He thought for a while and said, "Actually, my set of military training methods was inherited from Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin in this dynasty. ”

"Oh?" Whoever was a soldier had never heard of the name of the founding general Han Shin, so he exclaimed.

Yuan Xi thought to himself, it is useless to explain so much to the ancients, and it is most practical to directly put on celebrities. Anyway, Han Xin has been dead for so many years, and there is no art of war in the world, so it's better to fool others.

"Han Xin is like a god, but in fact, his most powerful method is the method of drilling, and I learned this method from him. I stumbled upon a military book written by him, and I learned this set of training methods. ”

Xu Dayan and several people looked at each other, with a look of reverence on their faces. The bottom of my heart is also boiling. Although Han Xin was inexplicably killed by Gaozu later, as the most powerful general with troops at that time, it can be said that Gaozu ruled the world, and his credit was great. At that time, Gaozu was defeated and defeated repeatedly, but those defeated soldiers immediately became brave and good at fighting after Han Xinyi's training. Embattled and ambushed on all sides, Han Xin started as a small soldier, and finally became a prince, achieving a legend. It is only because he is not guaranteed in his later years, and his merits are high, and he is regarded as ominous, so he has not been widely praised. Now that Yuan Xi has brought out this great god, everyone can't help but lift their spirits, and the competition that originally felt hopeless suddenly showed a glimmer of victory.

Yuan Xi said: "If I win this competition, the general will agree to promote this method of training." When the time comes, we will be able to win battles like Han Xin, win many battles, everyone can survive, all can be promoted to military merits, and we can all make meritorious contributions, not to mention good fields and beautiful houses, and it will not be a problem to become a big official when the time comes. ”

"Oh!"

According to Herzberg's two-factor theory, it is only a matter of resolving the anxiety and boosting morale, and it is necessary to come up with some constructive motivating factors to ensure that everyone is ready to fight.

Yuan Xi lowered his voice again and said, "Do you know who my father-in-law is?" ”

Seeing that everyone showed a look of attention, he said mysteriously: "Shang Cai Ling Zhen Yi." Seeing that some people didn't understand, he added: "Have you heard of the Zhongshan Zhen family?" Half of the fertile land in Hebei is under the name of my father-in-law. When the time comes, everyone doesn't want to be a soldier, even if they come to me, they dare not say that they dare to say that each person has thirty acres of land, and they still dare to pack tickets. But if I can't win this competition, I will be kicked out of the barracks by the general, sorry, I can only say goodbye to everyone......"

"Wow!" At this time, the sluggish man was also excited.

The thirty acres of land in Yuan Xi's mouth are enough for a family of five to have a year's ration. But at this time, the unit size is different, but despite this, everyone has been burned. The beautiful flatbread is already in front of you. From ancient times to the present, the Chinese have not changed, they just want to have their own fields. Especially at the peak of a dynasty that will exhaust the annexation of land.

Mencius advocated the well field system, with 100 mu as the unit, advocating that each household should have 100 mu to have enough food and clothing. At that time, 100 acres was exactly equal to about 30 acres of modern units in Yuan Xi's mouth.

At the sound of the order, everyone began to pack up in an orderly manner, and ten minutes later, the camp set off.
