White had never managed an army - even though there were only about fifty men, he did not expect the military affairs to be so complicated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Although in his plan, try to keep these things as simple and detailed as possible, and try to do it according to the requirements he wants to achieve. After thinking hard, Bai Qi finally decided to divide these fifty people into two teams and organize a marching drill before the formal training, so that except for a few people who have been on the battlefield, these noble children can understand what the life of the Tang army is like.

But now, the most important thing is to carry out the details of the marching exercise.

Most people agree with the idea of marching: people like Cheng Chumo, who have been on the battlefield, don't actually take it seriously; And people like Changsun Chong, who didn't go to the battlefield, are really confused about these. But when White put forward the details and requirements of the drill assessment, Cheng Chumo's face darkened.

"General, are you sure you're not trying to make things difficult for us?" Cheng Chumo turned his head and asked Bai Qi very puzzled, and Changsun Chong also looked over with a green face.

In terms of assessment content, in addition to stipulating the marching time and walking requirements, all marching plans are decided by their respective captains, that is, Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong will decide the marching plan of their own teams. After arriving in Luoyang, the assessment will be carried out according to the arrival time, as well as the mental outlook and physical fitness. Among them, the cost of marching is also included in the assessment content, and it is required to list each item of expenditure clearly, and its rationality and amount will also determine the level of the assessment score.

"Which team has the highest assessment score, Wang Yuanqing's temporary acting second lieutenant rank will be given to whoever is there, and that person will be directly responsible to me and lead everyone in our two teams!" Bai Qi looked at the somewhat tumultuous crowd and continued: "Then the attribution of this rank will fall to the winner of the next competition, and in two months, the individual who has received the highest assessment score will officially receive the rank of second lieutenant until he retires from my Cloud Breaking Army!" ”

At this time, everyone began to face up to the military flag flying in the air.

"Although my Cloud Breaking Army is a grass creation army, this is a strange army secretly created by His Majesty, and it will be used as a sharp knife of the Tang Dynasty military in the future, directly inserting it into the heart of the enemy! So, there will be the latest weapons, the latest tactics, the best treatment, but there will also be the most brutal training in the world! If any of you can't stand it, shout it out, because it's going to be dead! White said solemnly.

After a long time, seeing that no one had withdrawn, Bai Qi smiled on his face, opened his arms, and said loudly: "Congratulations, you have joined the Cloud Breaking Army, believe me, you will be proud of the Cloud Breaking Army in the future!" ”

For the remaining half a day, White asked the two teams to go down and make a detailed plan for the march. There are so many marching expenses in total, how to use them to maximize them reasonably, which route will be better, and what things to pay attention to on the way...... The details were listed one by one, and Cheng Chumo almost came out to find the white chess pieces and ended up, and the eldest grandson over there was full of green tendons on his forehead.

Since the veterans understood that this was a move by white chess to these noble children, they were not so polite. These old fritters in the army are not as high as the sons of Chang'an Xungui, but they have crawled through the army, and it is no exaggeration to say that the people selected by Baiqi are all people who have experienced a hundred battles and crawled out of the pile of dead, and they are well aware of all kinds of situations. They used a stern or ridiculous tone to talk to Cheng Chumo and others, but the people who listened couldn't lose their temper, most of them were the sons of the generals, and no matter how bastard, they still had respect for these veterans. As a result, the noble sons of the two squads spent the morning in a clueless nervousness and being thrown away.

At noon, the military department came and merged into the two squads, and as the people who assessed the marching drill, they followed the two teams to set off. Afterwards, Bai Qi and Cui Guoli, the squire of the military department, and a few attendants, rode fast horses, got on the boat to Luoyang, and traveled east along the Weishui Road.

Cui Guoli actually couldn't understand what White was doing, a little marquis who was less than twenty years old - although not many people knew about this position, to form an army half of the sons of Chang'an Xun, he would not be naïve to believe that this was an ordinary gamble between His Majesty and White Chess. So when he looked at White, his heart was full of curiosity. Cui Guoli knew that White wanted to give a little color to the group of young people who were also under twenty years old, but would such a marching drill really achieve its goal?

Along the Weishui, the boats flew fast and arrived in Luoyang two days later. Cui Guoli arranged for the defenders of Luoyang to vacate an open space and prepare, and then he saw the first batch of assessment letters coming from afar. Cui Guoli's expression was very strange, he didn't know that the whole person could be so exciting.

On the first day, Changsun Chong missed his accommodation in a hurry, and the whole team was drowsy the next day; Cheng Chumo strayed into the mountains and forests, and as a result, he hurriedly camped in the mountains, and was surrounded by a group of wild beasts at night, even though they had torches in their hands, everyone was brave and drove the beasts away, but Li Siwen was still slightly injured; The honest and lovely Fang Yiai was so hungry that she ran to the tree to touch the bird's eggs, but who knew that she had provoked a hornet's nest......

On the third day, I continued to receive an assessment letter, which was full of jokes caused by the two teams. Cui Guoli exclaimed while looking at the white chess pieces lying on the ground with squinted eyes, and said, "Fengqu, did you expect this result a long time ago?" ”

"Nope! I just want them to know that the real march is not to be sloppy, even if most of them are behind the gate, relying only on the shadow of their ancestors, and after that, they are exactly like ordinary people, without any capital to be proud of. Bai Qi smiled slyly: "Actually, if they can ask the veterans around them for advice, things won't be so bad!" ”

On the fourth day, both teams arrived.

The first to arrive was Cheng Chumo's team. At the beginning, they had been conserving their strength, hoping to reach Luoyang at a uniform speed, but unexpectedly, heavy rain fell on the way, which disrupted all their plans, and finally they were forced to rush through the stars on the night of the third day, overcoming obstacles all the way, and finally arriving in Luoyang first. After arriving in Luoyang, everyone in the team was already very tired, and after doing the final physical fitness test, no one had the strength to speak.

Changsun Chong's team arrived in the evening. They made a lot of jokes on the road, and they spent the most money. However, because their physical strength is better than that of Cheng Chu's team, they are the best in the physical fitness test.

In the evening, White gathered both teams together and asked them to tell what they had seen and felt along the way, and everyone laughed when they heard the troubles of the opposing team.

"Is it funny?" When the last man finished speaking, white stood up.

Everyone looked at each other, and some wanted to say something funny, but when they saw the situation around them, they fell silent again.

"Chu Mo, you're the captain, do you think it's funny?" White found that in the whole game, only Cheng Chumo smiled the least.

"If it was a real march to fight, it is estimated that most of us would have died!"

The rest of the people were silent, except for the crackling sound of wood burning in the campfire.

"The real purpose of this marching exercise is to let everyone know clearly that the real marching battle is completely different from what we imagined, and it will be even more cruel! Each of us may have some kind of expectation for the future of military life, and that's a good thing, and now there's an opportunity for you to fulfill that expectation. However, through this exercise, perhaps some of us will really feel that marching and fighting is not a matter of verbal entertainment. ”

Standing in front of the campfire, White looked around and continued: "Although this march was a failure overall, at least we have learned something, and this is the biggest result I wanted. This drill is not over, it is only halfway, after resting tonight, and returning to Chang'an from Luoyang early tomorrow morning, are you confident that you will do better than before? ”

There was silence for about a few seconds, and the crowd stood up with a deafening sound.

Who said that men are not afraid of death, they only hate blood in the gentle country!

"Very well, I heard the answer from your heart! Let us raise the wine glass in our hands together and salute those who have made contributions to my Datang, those who have worked hard for the prosperity of my Datang, and those heroic souls who have shed their blood for my Datang! White looked at the land with tears in his eyes.

"To the soul of the Tang Dynasty!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank down.

Cui Guoli stood in the distance and wiped his red eyes: "Damn, the wind in Luoyang is really strong!" ”
