Liu Qi had not been lying down in the grass nest for half an hour, and the meal had already been prepared. Although he really didn't want to eat, he had to force himself to eat in order to have the strength to continue the march in the future.

This time, Liu Qi deliberately ate the same meal as the soldiers, and he looked very sweet and gobbled up, which further established Liu Qi's image in the army, and the 9,000 army all supported him.

After dinner, after a short rest, Liu Qi dragged his legs again and issued an order to continue the march.

This time, he had just walked less than a mile, and Liu Qi felt that his legs began to become sore, but he still didn't say a word and continued to grit his teeth and walk.

And Pei Qian and the others, who were riding horses and slowly following behind, were all guilty, and they also dismounted, declaring that they would walk to Anzhong with everyone.

Liu Qi endured the soreness of his legs, and said with a smile: "This is a physical job, a few people can insist on it, if they can't insist, everyone is not reluctant." ”

Pei Qian and the others all said with a resolute face: "If the general can do it, a few of us must also do it, not to mention that the general has already walked more than fifty miles on foot, if we can't do it again, it will be really embarrassing." ”

Liu Qi smiled and nodded, and stopped talking, so he led Pei Qian and the others to advance on foot with the nine thousand army, while their horses were all tied behind the grain and grass carts.

It took nearly two hours to finally complete the day's marching task, more than 9,000 people, even counting the time for meals, marched one hundred and forty miles in less than six hours, such a marching speed is definitely a miracle, of course, this miracle is mainly inspired by Liu Qi was created, the officers and men of the three armies were all tired, but none of them complained, but they were all high-spirited and morale-high, because they knew that their march was not alone, The generals, captains, military commanders, chief bookkeepers, military marquis and others in their army all accompanied them on foot!

"Today the mission has been completed, everyone can stop." Liu Qi ordered the engineering battalion to set up camp, and the Huotou army buried the pot to cook, and at the same time asked Sima Liu Shi of the Chinese army to arrange the defense, and then sat down with Pei Qian and others to rest.

Looking at the exhausted appearance of those scribes, Liu Qi asked with a smile, "Princess, how do you feel today?" ”

A smile appeared on Pei Qian's face, and he said loudly: "Although we are tired and our legs and feet are sore, we have also gained a lot today, the last general never dreamed that I could last hundreds of miles at such a marching speed, it seems that the body of the last general is okay, and we literati are not as described by others, we are powerless, at least we can't do this kind of marching record, even a slightly weaker sergeant can't do it." ”

Wang Cang sighed: "My subordinates understand a truth, that is, it is easy to know and difficult to do, it is one thing to say it, and it is another thing to do it, if you want to turn your ideal into reality, it takes countless hard efforts in the middle." ”

Sima Zhi smiled and said: "Because of our drive, now the morale of our army is high, and my subordinates think that even in the face of the most elite troops in the world, our soldiers have the confidence to fight bravely." ”

And Fanqin just said a sentence: "Although the body is tired, the food is fragrant, the previous subordinates were treated as guests by General Zhennan, and they eat and drink spicy food every day, but they always feel tasteless when they eat. ”

When Liu Qi and the others heard this, they looked at Fanqin's slightly protruding abdomen again, and they all laughed.

After a while, Liu Qi said slowly: "My harvest this time is more than this, this time the trekking has taught me more of a kind of persistence, a kind of firmness that will never give up no matter what circumstances, so, in the future journey of life, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will never give up lightly, I must grit my teeth and persevere, there is a good saying, where there is a will, there is a way, the cauldron is broken, and the eight hundred Qin Pass will eventually belong to Chu; The hard-working people do not live up to the sky, and the salary tastes the gall, and the three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. Therefore, we are for the country and the people, Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, relying not only on enthusiasm, but also on this indomitable persistence. ”

As soon as Liu Qi said this, he was immediately appreciated by everyone, and at the same time, these young talents were also completely convinced of the young commander in front of them, they knew that this person had this ambition, and the future would never be a thing in the pool, and if they followed him, there would be a bright road in the future.

So they all made a decision in their hearts: "This life will be handed over to the eldest prince, he is our only lord, even Liu Jingzhou can't do it." ”

After a while, the meal was ready, and the five people, together with Liu Shi, were surrounded by all the soldiers in the middle, eating happily, and then Liu Qi and the generals checked the night together, until they had arranged all the qiē before coming to the Chinese military tent to rest.

Five young boys, in this big tent, slept on the ground, no one disliked the harsh environment and poor conditions, but they all fell asleep in a moment.

At dawn the next day, Liu Qi woke up, he saw that one of Pei Qian's legs pressed against Wang Cang's waist, and Wang Cang's head also crossed to Fanqin's fat lower abdomen, but Fanqin's stinky feet happened to press on the bridge of Sima Zhi's nose, and he couldn't help laughing.

Everyone was awakened by Liu Qi's laughter, and then they saw the scene in front of them, and they all laughed wildly.

"Everyone hurry up to eat, and after this meal, we need to go another sixty or seventy miles before we can continue eating. Hehe, I was tired for a day yesterday, I don't know if you still have the strength to go on? Liu Qi wiped his face simply, and then said with a smile.

"Haha, don't worry, general, we are all young people, everything will recover after a night's sleep, today we will be able to run another hundred and fifty miles, maybe everyone will have a good time, and go directly to Anzhong."

Fanqin's words immediately drew a burst of laughter.

Half an hour later, Liu Qi endured the soreness of his legs and feet, and led everyone to the direction of Anzhong again, this day's march speed was even faster than yesterday, it only took five and a half hours to walk one hundred and fifty miles, originally according to Wang Cang and Fanqin's meaning, everyone can take advantage of the fact that it is still early, and then advance another thirty miles, but Liu Qi insisted on letting everyone rest, his reason is that since he promised to let everyone rest for one hundred and fifty miles, he must not keep his promise.

Liu Qi's words were later spread to the army, and those soldiers admired Liu Qi even more, and secretly decided in their hearts that they would repay him with death.

Due to the high morale of Liu Qi's army, although tired, the speed of the march was not slow, and he arrived at Anzhong in the middle of the day on the third day.

When he saw Liu Qi's general flag appear, Wei Yan's eyes showed an unbelievable look, he really couldn't understand what kind of magic this young general had, so that the soldiers were so desperate, they actually advanced four hundred miles in less than three days, and those soldiers not only did not have a trace of complaint, but they all had a proud and proud look.

And when he saw Liu Qi and the five high-ranking people in the army all walking to the front of the camp gate, he understood that this dignified son of the state pastor, a pampered son, and a general known for his frailty, actually advanced four hundred miles on foot, which created a miracle in front of him!

Wei Yan's eyes when he looked at Liu Qi were immediately filled with a deep reverence, if the original loyalty to Liu Qi was due to the other party's appreciation of himself, then now, it has completely turned into deep reverence. Marching 400 miles on foot, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, don't say that the other party is just a weak son, even if it is a martial artist like himself, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do.

"The master of such great perseverance will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future, and from the current point of view, the lord has completely won the approval of the soldiers, and they are absolutely willing to serve the lord to death, such a general is only like this even if it is Wu Qi in ancient times."

Wei Yan sighed a few words, and then immediately saluted Liu Qi, and said respectfully: "The last general, Wei Yan, greets the general, now that the camp has been built, and the rejecting deer and other things are also ready, please accept the general." ”

Liu Qi smiled and helped Wei Yan up, and walked to the camp accompanied by Wei Yan.

He has also learned a lot of knowledge about building camps with Pei Qian these days, seeing that Wei Yan has built the camp impeccably, and seeing that Wei Yan has already prepared the antlers, and even the facilities such as roadblocks and horse traps have been built, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, patted Wei Yan's shoulder and said, "With Wen Chang and all of you here, why should the general be overwhelmed?" ”

Next, Liu Qi asked Sima Zhi to send scouts to pay close attention to the movements of Cao Cao's army, and once he found that Cao Cao had withdrawn from the siege, he would immediately make preparations, and this time he would definitely attack Cao Cao and win the battle.

Sima Zhi nodded solemnly and arranged this matter personally.

Liu Qi then ordered the army to enter the camp to make corrections, but he himself, accompanied by Wei Yan and Pei Qian, explored the terrain in order to formulate a strategy to defeat the enemy.

"This is my first battle since I crossed here, I must fight beautifully, and Cao Cao is the stepping stone for me to be famous in Jingzhou in the future, and even famous in the world, as long as I have the halo of 'defeating Cao Cao's army', I will be a huge help in the future, whether it is among those talents in Jingzhou, or for my future development." Hehe, Cao Apu, although your strategy and tactics are strong, and your military advisors are wise, how do you know that the reality of this battle is in a certain memory, with this advantage, if I can't win again, it will really be in vain. ”

Liu Qi stood with his hands in his hands and thought with a smile on his face.

Soon after, I heard the scout report: "Tell the general that Cao Cao's army has withdrawn from Qixian County, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Anzhong tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Okay, Wen Xing, inform Wen Chang, Zihua (Sima Zhi), Huber (Fanqin), and Zhong Xuan to go to the Chinese military tent for a meeting together, and we will study the strategy of breaking the enemy together."

Liu Qi smiled and commanded Pei Qian.
