The peace and optimism of the upper west gate were already sounding in the early morning before dawn when the soldiers' drills were already sounding.

A stone altar around Ping Optimistic is a huge empty field. In the fifth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty once held a military parade here, and the years passed, and now it is a training camp for the newly formed forbidden army.

Since the Yuan Kui rebellion, Liu Wei has been completely disappointed in the loyalty and combat effectiveness of the two forbidden armies of Yulin and Huben who participated in the Yuan rebellion. The edict dismantled and reorganized them, banned the military numbers of the Yulin and Huben armies, and transferred Zhang Fei from the Northern Army to reorganize and train the forbidden army.

The two forbidden armies of Yulin and Huben, which had a long history and outstanding military achievements, were finally annihilated in history. Instead, after hard training, the newly formed forbidden army led by Zhang Fei.

At the beginning of its establishment, this forbidden army was independent of the imperial court, and the food and salary were all provided by Liu Bian's internal affairs office, which was not affected by the court at all, and has been regarded as Liu Bian's personal armed force as a permanent example.

The whole army was divided into eight battalions, with a total of more than 5,000 men. The financial resources of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can only go so far.

At this time in the camp, the 5,000 soldiers and horses were training in batches. Or the two battalions of soldiers and horses fought against each other, or formed a phalanx to practice simple stabbing movements. And the most eye-catching thing is the obstacle course training on the side of the camp.

The rows of wooden walls are more than six meters high, and the distance between the wooden walls is more than one meter, and the trained soldiers not only have to climb the wooden walls with their bare hands, but also have to cross between the wooden walls, and after jumping to the last wooden wall, they have to spread out their bodies and jump down.

Two of his comrades will catch the jumping soldier below. The jumper quickly gained a foothold and then replaced one of them and caught the others. And the person who was replaced went around to the front to climb the wall again, climb vertically, and the cycle continued.

This kind of training is the most test of endurance, courage and mutual trust of soldiers. However, the soldiers who participated in the training did not hesitate at all, and everything was going on like a cloud, and they were obviously very accustomed to this kind of training.

Liu Wei, who was observing the training of soldiers on the stone altar, turned his head and asked Zhang Fei beside him curiously: "This kind of training method was thought up by Yide?" ”

Zhang Fei smiled proudly and replied: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, part of it is that the minister imitated the training methods of the Xiyuan Army, and the other part of the training soldiers did come up with the mutual cooperation and trust of the soldiers himself. ”

Liu Wei nodded. Modern training methods such as obstacle training were introduced to the Xiyuan Army, and Zhang Fei imitated them, not to show that he was lazy, but on the contrary, to prove that he was extremely discerning. The wise man walks with his strength. If you don't use good things, do you still spend time and effort researching one yourself? Moreover, Zhang Fei can also knead his own ideas into it while using it, which shows that he really put a lot of thought into the growth of this army.

"Yide has worked hard!" Liu Wei patted Zhang Fei on the back gratefully.

"For Your Majesty!" Zhang Fei immediately stood up and said with a solemn expression.

Belch? Liu Wei looked at Zhang Fei's performance with some surprise, this appearance gave him a familiar feeling, as if he was a loyal brainwashing and education for soldiers, he had taught Wei Yi.

Liu Wei turned his head to Wei Yi, and Wei Yi explained with a smile: "The newly formed forbidden army is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, and loyalty is naturally the first. Remember to be loyal to Your Majesty at all times. Yide took the lead, as an example for the whole army, and can be called a model. ”

Liu Wei couldn't laugh or cry, and whispered in Wei Yi's ear: "It's really thanks to your hard work." ”

can brainwash Zhang Fei like this, and I don't know how Wei Yi did it.

Many people feel that Zhang Fei has a short-tempered personality and a simple mind, and should be easily brainwashed. However, in the contact between Liu Wei and Zhang Fei, it was found that Zhang Fei had a violent personality and was simple-minded.

In fact, Zhang Fei is bold, careful, assertive, and has a high cultural foundation - this is related to the fact that he was born into a wealthy family and received an orthodox education from an early age. Even Zhang Fei's appearance is different from the face like the bottom of the pot and the tiger beard in the film and television dramas in his previous life. In addition to the tanning of his face because of his long-term military career when they first met, Zhang Fei has fought less in recent years, and he has begun to have a tendency to turn white, coupled with his drooping jaws, he is about to develop into a Wenchen style.

Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, who were born in poverty, are different, and their low culture makes them more likely to accept this kind of brainwashing education than Zhang Fei. Liu Wei heard that Guan Yu was illiterate before joining the army, and only began to study after joining the army under Liu Bei's persuasion. No wonder he always holds a copy of "Spring and Autumn" day and night, it turns out that he is not pretending, it is indeed that he used to study less, and now he is seizing the time to make up for it.

After Zhao Yun heard that Zhang Fei was imitating the training method of the Xiyuan Army, he joked to Zhang Fei: "Yide steals other people's skills, and he is so grandiose, it is really shameless!" ”

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "A soldier's ability to fight is the ability of a general." If my old Zhang bears a shameless name because of this, it will be nothing. If Zilong still can't look at it, how about punishing me with three jars of pear wine? ”

Liu Wei laughed and said: "Punishing Yide for drinking is a punishment, I'm afraid it's something you can't ask for." ”

Zhao Yun didn't speak, and looked at Zhang Fei enviously. This kind of killing character that is not afraid of criticism and lives recklessly is what he has always envied. And in order to care about the eyes of others, he didn't even dare to approach the person he loved in his heart.

Zhang Fei saw that Liu Wei was in a very happy mood, so he took the opportunity to make a request: "Your Majesty, now that the new army has been organized and trained, he will be attacked by thieves in the future, can you order the last general to lead this team to meet the enemy?" ”

Belch...... Liu Wei pondered for a moment, thinking about Zhang Fei's proposal.

He could understand Zhang Fei's thoughts, and he could also see that he had put a lot of effort into organizing and training the new army. Now that the forbidden army has just begun, there is already a prototype of a strong army. It's like a treasure knife quenched, so naturally I want to try the blade.

Zhao Yun, who was on the side, was a little worried, and said: "The task of the forbidden army is to protect the palace, if you go into battle to kill the enemy, who will be responsible for Your Majesty's safety?" ”

"That's fine." Liu Wei said. "When the thief comes, it is impossible for me to watch the soldiers fight to the death, I must personally lead the army to fight to the death, and then Yide will have the opportunity to participate in the battle. It's just that the forbidden army has just begun, and without war, will it be a little reluctant to face such a strong army in the world as the Bingzhou wolf cavalry for the first time? ”

"Your Majesty, the edge of the sword is sharpened, and if it is not sharpened, it will never become a combatable soldier. Facing the state army is a good opportunity to test them! Zhang Fei tried his best to persuade Liu Wei.

Liu Wei pondered for a while, then asked with a smile, "Yide really has the confidence to fight with Lu Bu?" ”

Zhang Fei's expression was serious, and his answer was sonorous and powerful: "When the national disaster is at hand, the officers and soldiers of our army have long had the heart to sacrifice their lives for the country and serve His Majesty. As long as His Majesty gives an order, he will fight to the death against the enemy! ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Wei smiled happily. Then I'm really going to see their mortal hearts! ”

The drums in the venue suddenly started, and the soldiers who were still training quickly gathered when they heard the drums, and their movements were orderly, fast and quiet.

In less than half a moment, the drumming stopped. The soldiers scattered around the field were assembled under the leadership of the generals, and the phalanx of 5,000 people was neat and solemn, and the birds were silent.

Liu Wei, Zhang Fei and others had already stepped down from the stone altar and came to the phalanx.

When the officers and soldiers saw Liu Wei coming, they all puffed up their chests, and their excited eyes showed a hot gaze.

Liu Wei nodded with satisfaction. The tutor in the army has done a very good job of brainwashing education for the soldiers' loyalty and patriotism, although it is not enough to hold Liu Bian's arm and cry like a mourner, but after the tutor's education and publicity, every soldier has fallen into a kind of fanatical worship of Liu Bian.

In addition, the middle-level generals in the army are all guards like Hu Cheer and Liu Rui, and Zhang Fei and himself are brothers-in-law, so there is no need to doubt the loyalty of this team.

Liu Wei rode on his horse, glanced at the soldiers in the army, and asked loudly: "The Lu thief rebelled, the foreign enemy is coming, when this country is in danger, can you dare to fight to the death?" ”

"Dare!" Thousands of people replied like a voice.

Liu Wei nodded slightly, and then said: "The Lu thief who came to attack is called the first person in the world, and the state army is also the strongest army in the world. They have defeated many of the soldiers of the imperial court, and I can tell you responsibly that the enemies you face are very strong, and many of you may die and never see your parents, wives and children again. Even so, do you still dare to fight to the death? ”

"Dare!" There was not a hint of hesitation from everyone.

"Well, that's all good! They are also very courageous. This is very good, courage is the key to victory on the battlefield, and a soldier without courage can only be killed like a pig and a dog on the battlefield. But the courage you are talking about now is not the courage of the battlefield. You can now say that you are not afraid of death, and you can think of things as cruel and bad. But on the real battlefield, things are a hundred times more cruel and a thousand times worse than you think! What you think now, your determination and your courage, may be lost by that time. Some will run away, others will surrender and be killed like pigs and dogs. At that time, I hope that you will be able to think about your parents, wives and children, and about what you want to protect and believe in. That's where the courage on the battlefield comes from. Not in our mouths, but in the courage that comes out to protect our loved ones from slaughter, to protect what we believe in from being destroyed. With this belief, each of you will be able to overcome the enemy on the battlefield. When the time comes, I will ask you again if you dare! ”

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he left with Zhang Fei and the others, leaving every officer and soldier present to think about Liu Wei's words.

Liu Wei turned his head and said to Zhang Fei and Wei Yi: "After all, he is a recruit, and he is still immature. Integrate what I say today into the patriotic education of everyday life. In addition, Yide went to the Ministry of Punishment to propose that some death row prisoners come out so that they could see blood. ”

"Your Majesty." Zhao Yun said worriedly. "It doesn't seem to be in accordance with the rules to do this, and when the time comes, the Imperial Observatory and the Grand Court will ......"

Liu Wei waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I greet the Criminal Department, you can be careful and it's no problem." ”

Zhang Fei remembered something, so he asked on the side: "Your Majesty, the new army has just been formed and has not yet been named, I wonder if Your Majesty can give a name?" ”

"It's a name." Liu Wei cupped his forehead and thought for a while.

"The Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven naturally has to have a resounding name, uh......"

Liu Wei's eyes lit up and said: "The unfathomable god of yin and yang, the power of the brave Congo." It's called Kamui. ”
