Today, the main forces of Xuzhou are scattered in the hands of the five chief officials, among which the soldiers Cao is the most elite under Wei Shuo. But Wei Shuo's position is the most embarrassing among the generals in Xuzhou, and after many inquiries, Zu Ti put the first object of struggle on Wei Shuo.

Early this morning, Zu Ti came to Cao's house with a few entourages to visit Cao Hong, and then quietly came to Wei Shuo's station outside the city under the guidance of Cao Hong.

Cao Hong pointed to the brand-new camp and introduced: "General, this is the garrison for adult training, and the soldiers of the day Lord Cao did not compete with the generals, and took the initiative to station in the old camp outside the city, thus avoiding the complicated power struggle in Pengcheng." ”

"Since the arrival of Lord Bing Cao, he immediately mobilized soldiers to clean up this place, and soon made this place look new. Now it has become the residence of Lord Wei, and few people come on weekdays. ”

Zu Ti raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and found that the flags were fluttering in the barracks, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and it was obvious that intense military training was being carried out inside. There were several mighty soldiers standing at the entrance of the barracks, and even a few archers were ambushed in several places in the distance. Seeing this scene, Zu Ti couldn't help but have a good impression of Wei Shuo, and it can be seen from the strict security around the camp that this maverick guard Cao is a person who knows soldiers.

When Zu Ti and his entourage came to the gate of the camp and were blocked by the soldiers, Cao Hong hurriedly stepped forward to talk to the soldiers and was soon released. Cao Hong came to Zu Ti's side and explained: "General, don't blame, this is the rule of Lord Cao, anyone who enters and leaves the barracks must leave a record. If a stranger enters, he must be accompanied by an officer of the battalion. ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zu Ti smiled disapprovingly, but in his heart, he valued the guard Cao who he had never met even more.

After entering the camp, Zu Ti looked at the hot scene on the training ground, and suddenly became enthusiastic, and he couldn't wait to go down and move with those soldiers.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a lively training scene, Zifu, what's the purpose of that?" Zu Ti asked, pointing to the obstacle training base.

Cao Hong turned his head and explained: "It was made by Lord Cao, what is it called 120 zhang obstacle training, which is specially used to train soldiers' physical fitness." You see, those ditches, low walls, ladders, single-plank bridges and other obstacles were all made by the craftsmen of Hyoso-sama. Soldiers participating in the training must safely pass all obstacles within a fixed time frame to be considered qualified. ”

Zu Ti stood by with great interest and observed for a long time, and it was obvious that he had discovered the beauty of this training base. With this obstacle training, it can not only improve the soldier's ability to climb mountains and mountains, but also improve the soldier's reaction, and at the same time it is also very helpful to exercise the soldier's physical strength.

What kind of person is Wei Shuo, who can come up with such an ingenious method? Zu Ti couldn't help but fall into deep thought......

"One, two, three, thorn!"

"Thorn Left!"

"Thorn right!"

Soon Zu Ti was interrupted by the training of spearmen, and two thousand spearmen lined up in formation, exuding enough momentum to make any enemy fearful! Zu Ti seemed to see the future, and when the Hu people's iron cavalry was helpless in the face of the barrier made of spears.

After nine deaths under the iron hooves of the Hu people, Zu Ti knew the power of the Hu cavalry. Before, he always thought that the only way to deal with the Hu cavalry was to ride against the cavalry, but he didn't expect to see another way to deal with the cavalry today. Just looking at those spears that are one zhang long, it can be seen that these spearmen will mainly face the Hu cavalry in the future.

"If you had known that there was such a method of training, why would you be defeated in the face of the army of the Hu Cavalry Imperial Court!"

Zu Ti endured the grief and indignation in his heart, looked up to the sky and sighed. After all, Cao Hong was also a child of a family, and he had some affection for the Western Jin Dynasty, so under the infection of Zu Ti, he couldn't help but feel gloomy.

"Jifu, did this spearman training method also come up with that guard Cao?"

"Yes, it is said that this method was handed down by the ancestors of Lord Wei, and many soldiers said that it was from the hands of Wei Qing, a former Han general. However, I have never heard this talk from Master Wei, and I only know that this method was taught to everyone by Master Wei himself. ”

"Oh? Is the guard Cao Nai from the Hedong Wei clan? ”

Cao Hong, who was leading the way in front, heard this, immediately stopped his figure, turned around and glanced at Zu Li fixedly, and said cautiously: "General, there are some words that should not be said too much, but since the general mentioned it, then some words are not easy to hide, and the future of the province will be mistaken by the general." ”

Zu Ti's face turned pale when he heard this, and he arched his hand and said: "Please speak up, Shizhi will listen to you!" ”

"Actually, the adults of my family are from Qingzhou, and it is not clear what the relationship is with the Hedong Wei family, but he has always looked down on the children of the family and has a lot of disdain for them. Because of this, Lord Assassin Shi Pei gradually alienated my family. If the general wants to unite with my family, it is best not to put on the arrogance of a child of a family in front of him. ”

"Moreover, my Jiawei's style is not like that of other bureaucrats from the noble clan, and he does not pay attention to the background of his subordinates, but attaches great importance to the actual talents of each person. Especially for the children of the family who like to talk, I don't have any good feelings! ”

Zu Ti was thoughtful when he heard this, since Wei Shuo didn't like the family, he had to change his original plan. In fact, Zu Ti doesn't like the children of the family who talk about it very much, otherwise when he and Liu Kun were the chief bookkeepers, they wouldn't have smelled the chickens dancing and practiced martial arts hard.

The group continued to walk forward, passing through the spearmen training ground, and came to the sword and shield soldier training base. At this time, under the guidance of the five sect leaders, the six hundred sword and shield soldiers were seizing the time to master the technique of sword and shield combined attack. After the deliberation of several experienced veterans, the six-move sword and shield combined attack technique was finally determined.

This six-move sword and shield combination technique adheres to Wei Shuo's requirements, and it looks very simple and practical, and it is easy for soldiers to master. However, it is not easy for soldiers to fully master and exert their power, and the most important thing is that recruits always become very nervous when they arrive on the battlefield, and often forget the moves they have practiced before.

In order to avoid this as much as possible, it is necessary to repeat the training a lot and many times on weekdays, and only by making these actions become the instinct of the soldiers, will they not lose their lives due to tension on the battlefield.

Zu Ti himself is a strong martial artist, and he can see at a glance that this set of sword and shield combined attacks with only five or six strokes is very practical, and this set of combined attacks is very suitable for promotion. The martial arts that circulate in the world are often in the hands of high-ranking generals, and ordinary soldiers do not have much professional swordsmanship training except for relying on experience.

"This set of sword and shield combined attack techniques is compiled by Lord Wei gathered several elite people in the army, and according to the simple, direct and practical requirements put forward by Lord Wei, there are only six tricks finally determined. These six sword techniques are the result of the life's work of several experienced soldiers, and once they are popularized throughout the army, combined with spearmen and archers, our army will be invincible. ”

"Alas, I really wish I couldn't get to know the guard Cao early!"

For some reason, such a sentence suddenly popped into Zu Li's mind. After watching many new things in the barracks, Zu Ti is now eager to see Wei Shuo. He was eager to see what kind of person Wei Shuo was who created all this.

"According to the method of foot combat of our Lord Wei, when facing the Hu cavalry in the future, it is best for the spearmen to assault in front, and the sword and shield soldiers on the left and right to guard against the enemy's cavalry from raiding, and the longbowmen in the back."

"If these three arms cooperate properly, where will they not go in this world?!" Every time he thinks of the scene against the Hu cavalry in the future, Cao Hong always can't help but be proud.

Zu Ti didn't think that Cao Hong was talking big, if he had this 100,000 army in his hands, he would definitely be able to sweep through the north and recover the rivers and mountains. Although he has not yet witnessed the power of this battle array on the battlefield, Zu Ti judged based on his years of military experience that the spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, and longbowmen discharged by Wei Shuo are really sharp weapons to restrain the Hu cavalry!

As soon as he thought of this, Zu Ti couldn't wait to see Wei Shuo.

"Zifu, where is Guard Cao now?"

Cao Hong smiled and said: "Actually, my family has long been looking forward to meeting General Zu, and at the banquet in the Assassin's Mansion the day before yesterday, my family spoke highly of the general, saying that the person who can work with him in the future must be the general!" Unfortunately, Master Wei went to the baggage camp today to inspect the logistics and equipment matters, and I am afraid that he will have to wait a while before he returns. ”
