A month ago.

In the tired head mountain of Qixian County, the Great Wall of Qin is like a giant python, as if it is entrenched among the mountains.

When the sky was hazy, a slight vibration sounded in the valley, and the sound was monotonous and uniform. The birds of the mountains were startled by the sound and flew into the sky. As the birds looked down over the valley from the sky, looking for the source of the sound, they saw an army of heavily armed people running along the mountain paths.

The road between the valleys was not smooth, but the army marched in unison on the rough road, and the footsteps of thousands of people were not chaotic at all, as if they had been stepped out by one person. If you can get closer, you can even see that the chests of these soldiers rise and fall in the same rhythm between breaths.

At the front of the queue are all officers at the rank of captain, and ordinary soldiers are fortunately only wearing leather armor, while captains are wearing iron armor weighing dozens of pounds, and the burden is much heavier than that of ordinary soldiers.

Among them, Jiang Qi also wore iron armor and ran at the front of the team with his head held high. After coming to Bingzhou to train the new army for so long, running with weights has almost become a compulsory military training every day.

Walking side by side with him was a heroic young man in his twenties, they set off from the barracks when they were in Yin, and ran along the mountain road until it was almost dawn, Jiang Qi was able to persist because he had developed physical habits after a long time of hard training, and the young man next to him had not participated in their weight-bearing runs a few times, and his ability to hold on was completely dependent on his personal bravery.

Jiang Qi nodded secretly in his heart, since he came to Bingzhou, he met this young man named Zhang Liao under the introduction of Ding Yuan, the two hit it off at first sight, Jiang Qi liked Zhang Liao's humble character, benevolence and harmony, and Zhang Liao admired Jiang Qi's methods and insights in training the army and leading troops to fight. The two often talked about military affairs together, and after a long time, they became inseparable friends.

Zhang Liao was very interested in Jiang Qi's military training methods, and in his opinion, Jiang Qi inherited those military training methods that transcended the times taught by Liu Wei, although they were strange, but they contained many truths. At first, Jiang Qi was afraid that he would not be used to this kind of high-intensity training, but now looking at his full of energy, Jiang Qi understands that at least in terms of personal martial arts, Zhang Liao is far better than himself.

However, Jiang Qi was not jealous, just like Liu Wei often taught him, the army does not need the personal bravery of the generals, but the generals can command every soldier like an arm, and fully stimulate the bravery of all of them.

Jiang Qilang laughed loudly: "Wenyuan, can you still charge?" ”

Zhang Liao laughed and said, "Why be afraid? ”

Jiang Qi raised his left arm, and the lieutenant behind him immediately blew the horn when he saw it. The sound of the horn sounded one after another in the team, Jiang Qi had already launched a charge, and the whole team immediately changed speed to keep up, still maintaining a neat formation, but it suddenly changed from a gurgling torrent to a tsunami that shook the earth.

When the team ran onto a relatively wide and flat dirt road, Jiang Qicai ordered the soldiers to stop and rest. He himself was sweaty and out of breath. Zhang Liao also arched his body and gasped for breath.

Jiang Qi looked at Zhang Liao's flushed face and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan is really a good man." ”

Zhang Liao showed an embarrassed expression, and said to Jiang Qi seriously: "When Brother Yun Lei served in the Xiyuan Army, Liao often heard that the Xiyuan Army was the strongest army in the world, and it had broken countless enemies. Today, I understand that a strong is a blood and sweat. ”

Jiang Qi nodded in agreement, there was nothing to be modest about this. Whether it is the Xiyuan Army, or the Pingcheng Army he has formed now, the sweat of the soldiers is the most among other armies. This hardship cannot be erased, and there is no need to be polite.

Thinking that Zhang Liao was about to return to Ding Yuan's army, Jiang Qi asked again: "When will Wen Yuan return to General Ding's account?" ”

"I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow." Zhang Liao's words were filled with a little regret and reluctance.

Zhang Liao himself was a general under Ding Yuan's account, and Jiang Qi was training a new army in Pingcheng, and Ding Yuan was very interested in Jiang Qi's new military training method, so he sent Zhang Liao to Pingcheng Army to observe, which was regarded as a military observer. And if today's son wants to use troops to Jizhou, Ding Yuan, as the general of Zhengdong, will lead all the government troops in Jizhou to go out, and Zhang Liao will naturally return to Ding Yuan's account to perform his duties. Fortunately, Jiang Qi will also lead the Pingcheng army and Ding Yuan's army to converge, and the two will meet again in the near future.

"Goodbye, you and my brother will fight side by side in the bloody battlefield." Jiang Qi said with a smile.

"A good man should be determined to kill the enemy and serve the country." Zhang Liao roared dryly.

"That's right! When we waited for the training for a long time, the soldiers were full of spirit and fighting spirit. But only on the battlefield is the place to really test the combat power of soldiers! Jiang Qi said.

"At that time, Brother Yun Lei and I will discuss the leading strategy in actual combat." Zhang Liao's face yearned.

"Good!" Jiang Qi stretched out his arm and touched Zhang Liao's arm, and the two sides looked at each other and laughed.

Just as the two of them were parting and full of affection, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves on the road ahead, and after a while, a small group of cavalry appeared in front of them.

Jiang Qi led the troops out for training, but he did not display the Han military flag, nor did he bring his own handsome flag. The cavalry was obviously alert when they saw so many of them, tightened their horses and stopped urgently, and when they saw Jiang Qi and they were all wearing the military uniforms of the big men, they were a little relieved, and one of the generals rode up and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Liao's eyes lit up, but he knew that the general who was immediately questioned was Wei Xu, a lieutenant under Lu Bu, and he was quite powerful. It is reported that he just married his sister to Lu Bu as his second wife last month, and he and Lu Bu became in-laws.

Zhang Liao stepped forward and said, "Does Captain Wei recognize Zhang Liao?" ”

Wei Xu recognized Zhang Liao and asked curiously, "Why did Captain Zhang appear here?" ”

Zhang Liao replied: "General Ding sent me to the Pingcheng Army to observe General Jiang's training. ”

He pointed to Jiang Qi beside him and said, "This is Jiang Qi, the general of Zhenbei and the lieutenant general of the Pingcheng Army." ”

Jiang Qi's military rank was higher than Wei Xu's, and when Wei Xu heard this, he hurriedly dismounted and saluted Jiang Qi, and the others also dismounted to salute.

Jiang Qi asked Wei Xu: "Captain Wei came here to pass on the military information on the order of General Lu?" ”

Wei Xu replied: "No, my subordinates are going to the east on the order of the general, and at this time, I happened to meet General Jiang when I passed through here. ”

"I see." Jiang Qi nodded. Looking up at Wei Xu's team, there was actually a Tsing Yi scribe among the group of soldiers, and he was curious, so he asked the scribe, "Who are you?" ”

"General. His subordinate Chen Rang was a military advisor under General Lu. The scribe replied.

"Oh." Jiang Qi looked at him carefully, and the scribe hurriedly lowered his head, as if he was too cowardly to make contact with Jiang Qi's majestic gaze.

Jiang Qi laughed self-deprecatingly, just now this scribe let himself have an indescribable uneasiness in his heart, and then it was fleeting. He waved his hand again and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can go by yourself, don't miss the matter of your general!" ”

"Whoa!" Wei Xu and the others said in unison.

He got on his horse and galloped again.

Watching them leave, Zhang Liao said to Jiang Qi: "I have never seen that scribe under Lu Fengxian's account, I think it is a newly recruited subordinate. ”

Jiang Qi frowned and asked, "Wen Yuan thinks something is wrong?" ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "I just think that Lu Fengxian's account is now full of talents, Wei Xu, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, etc. are all brave generals, but the most powerful is Gao Shun, it is said that even Lu Fengxian admires him." ”

"And such people?" Jiang Qi looked curious.

In his opinion, Lu Bu was already the strongest warrior of this era. When I was in Luoyang before, I had only heard of his prestige, but I didn't have a specific concept. However, after coming to Bingzhou to contact Lu Bu, Jiang Qi found that no one in the world could match Lu Bu, whether it was his personal bravery or leading troops to fight. In a society like Bingzhou, where the people are fierce and the strong are admired, Lu Bu is the existence of the god of war admired by everyone.

The person who can make Lu Budu admire is definitely not an ordinary person. It's just that he has been in Bingzhou for so long, but he has never heard of the name Gao Shun, if a person reaches the point of being side by side with a person like the God of War, he can still maintain such a low profile, which makes Jiang Qi puzzled.

"If you have the opportunity, Wen Yuan can introduce me to you." Jiang Qi said.

"That's nature." Zhang Liao nodded.

Skipping the topic of Lu Bu, Jiang Qi laughed again, beat Zhang Liao's chest hard, and said: "Wenyuan will go back in the future, and tonight will set up a banquet to see Wenyuan off, and everyone will rest when they get drunk!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Liaolu also smiled happily and said boldly.

The two looked at each other and laughed, and led the army back to the camp together.

At the same time, after galloping on horseback for a while, Wei Xu and others slowed down. Wei Xuce rode a horse parallel to the scribe named Chen Rang, and said to Chen Rang with trepidation: "Mr. Gongtai, it was really dangerous just now. For a moment, I looked at Jiang Qi's expression as if I had discovered the identity of Mr., and I almost wanted to protect Mr. and leave. ”

Wei Xu's position is higher than this Chen Rang, but his attitude towards Chen Rang is extremely respectful. Na Chen Rang smiled slightly when he heard Wei Xu's words, and said disapprehantly: "I don't know anyone in Bingzhou, and my identity is extremely secretive, how can that reckless martial artist easily see through it." ”

Wei Xu nodded in agreement and said, "This time the matter in the east can be done, thanks to Mr. Strategizing, we deeply admire." Before leaving, General Lu ordered us to be sure to protect Mr. Quanquan, if there is a little mistake, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back to see General Lu. ”

Chen Rang sighed when he heard this: "Feng Xian treats me like a close humerus, and I will live up to Feng Xian's deep affection." ”

Then he said to Wei Xu: "People from Jizhou will arrive in Jinyang in a few days, and I need to rush back to meet with them immediately, so as not to miss the general's major event." ”

Everyone shouted in unison, and the horses under their feet neighed again and galloped.
