In the first five years of the Han Dynasty, in 194 AD, it was said that Cao Cao and Lü Bu fought fiercely in Shandong, and there were mutual victories and defeats, Lü Bu used the strategy of Chen Palace to earn Cao Cao into Puyang, fortunately Dian Wei, Xiahou Yuaner rescued Cao Cao from smoke and fire in the death battle, and then Guo Jiaxian defeated Lü Bu with a plan to deceive death, Lü Bu retreated to Puyang and held out, it was a year of locust plague, the price of rice in Kwantung skyrocketed, and the crops were almost lost.

Xuzhou, Xiaopei, Gaoping for Liu Bei to offer the first strategy is to refine the soldiers, Xiaopei City originally had more than 2,000 soldiers, most of them were brought by Liu Bei from the plains, plus five thousand Danyang soldiers won from Cao Bao, a total of 7,000 people, more than 500 cavalry led by Zhang Fei, more than 600 archers led by Guan Yu, the rest are all infantry with guns, there are knives and shields mixed together by Liu Bei, nominally Liu Bei's soldiers can also be called the army, but the good and the bad are uneven, the five flavors are mixed, the old is old, The combat effectiveness of the few is quite limited, and it is naturally stronger than the Yellow Turban Army, and it is not a little worse than Cao Cao's elite soldiers, no wonder Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao several times in history, and the huge gap in military strength is a serious problem, Gao Ping first re-recruited troops in office, and more than 1,000 soldiers were recruited within ten days, this kind of recruitment speed surprised Gao Ping, the conditions are not rich, and at present, it is only said that there is food and clothing, how can so many people come to enlist? Only after a careful inquiry did I know that the government of the late Han Dynasty was corrupt, and the style of selling officials and lords prevailed, and once the buyers went to the place to change, they would desperately search for money, if the human skin could be peeled off as a tiger skin to sell, the people did not know how many layers of skin were scraped, coupled with the local tyrants and powerful annexation of land, so that the people were not able to make a living, as long as they could have food to eat, it was their great luxury, and Liu Bei's name of benevolence had already spread far and wide, so the conscripts flocked to it, and the original army Gaoping was screened, and the old and weak were eliminated, and a total of 5,000 soldiers were obtained. Zhang Fei once asked Gao Ping suspiciously: "Gao boy, everyone recruits more and more, and you recruit less and less of your eldest brother's soldiers, what is the reason?" Gao Ping explained with a smile: "The soldiers are fine but not many, if the training is successful, my 6,000 elite soldiers can withstand the original tens of thousands of troops." ”

"Bragging, I'll be old Zhang too," Zhang Fei went straight to the restaurant with a questioning voice.

After consulting with Liu Bei, Gao Ping set up a cavalry battalion of 800 people, still led by Zhang Fei, 1000 spear battalions, 1000 sword and shield battalions, the second battalion was led by Guan Yu, and the bow and arrow battalion of 1000 people was temporarily led and taught by Liu Bei, (Note: In fact, Liu Bei's martial arts are also good, especially archery, although it is not as good as Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and others' marksmanship, but there is no problem in teaching the average archer, the second time in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Bao was killed by Liu Bei and others, and walked away, Xuande sent an arrow, right in his left arm, In the battle of Wancheng, Xuande opened his bow and an arrow, in the middle of Sun Zhong, turned over and fell off the horse, this two times one wounded and one dead, and both are the enemy's leading figures, Liu Bei's archery skills can be seen (it seems to be a hundred shots, never seen it shot again, hehe)) Another 1200 people are responsible for protecting Liu Bei's safety for the guard battalion, in fact, the most important thing is to protect Gao Ping himself, looking at Liu Bei's life, there are countless times when he is at the end of the road, but he has never fallen into the enemy formation, and even few injuries, this battalion is personally responsible for training by Gao Ping, When Liu Bei asked what weapons were used in the guard battalion, Gao Ping actually said that he would not distribute weapons, Liu Bei asked again, and Gao Ping only said that he would discuss it in a few days. Liu Bei didn't know why.

Liu Bei trains soldiers with everyone every day, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also very conscientious, but the two of them are immediately superior, Guan Yu's command is determined, and the team is forbidden, which is quite a general's style, and Zhang Fei has almost no rules to speak of, but a lion's roar can also inspire morale.

Gao Ping took out the method of coaching athletes in middle school, and now it is mainly physical training. In the infantry training ground, Gao Ping designed two circular fields similar to modern playgrounds, about 400 meters a circle, Gao Ping was very puzzled by the Three Kingdoms scale, so he used his own foot measurement, and secretly calculated in his heart that he would definitely reform the weights and measures.

What surprised Gao Ping was that not only Zhang Fei was good at drinking, Liu Bei was also quite good at drinking, and often gossiped with the grassroots soldiers while drinking, who was short of food, who had many children, who had serious patients, and whose daughter-in-law was about to give birth Liu Bei could know at the first time and try his best to help, so the soldiers were willing to be close to him. How does Gao Ping think that Liu Bei does not have the resources of the emperor, at least not now, but like a good man in Liangshan, he drinks wine and eats meat in a big bowl, and acts chivalrous and righteous, perhaps it is because Liu Bei himself is from the common people, and he is more concerned about the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the small people, and these ordinary people naturally do not understand too many big truths, and a porridge and a meal can make them more grateful to Dade, perhaps this is the best means for Liu Bei to win the hearts of the people. Is it deliberately hypocritical? Or is it nature that is naturally revealed? Gao Ping put a big question mark in his heart.

Every morning, Gao Ping has to take these 1,200 soldiers for morning exercises, the content of the morning exercise is to pull physical strength, run around the playground for 30 laps, about more than 10,000 meters, this distance ordinary people can bear, and then personally teach military boxing. The first time Gao Ping ran with the soldiers, many people showed suspicious eyes, and Gao Sima, who was weak in appearance, could hold on for a few laps, and even many veterans made a bet on it.

After gritting his teeth and breaking through the fatigue period of his body, Gao Ping was already sweating profusely and panting, but all the soldiers looked at Gao Ping differently, they didn't know how strong Gao Ping's body was in his previous life, he was also an athlete, and the police academy was even more militarized.

Then the soldiers on the scene were stupid, because there were only less than 500 people who could finish the 1,200 people, and Gao Ping did not blame those who did not finish, after all, everything had to be done step by step, thinking that he was not as good as them when he first trained. After breakfast and a little rest, I still run, 30-meter sprint, 50-meter sprint, 80-meter sprint, 100-meter sprint and 150-meter sprint, interspersed with push-ups and sit-ups, and repeat these sprints in the morning to practice explosiveness and speed.

In the afternoon, I still run 30 laps first, and then carry out strength exercises, hold dozens of catties of boulders, lift hundreds of catties of iron rods, do pull-ups, good strength and require them to do finger push-ups, at the end of the day, let Gao Ping too much coach addiction, but many people fell to the ground and couldn't get up, there was no way There was no sports equipment in the Three Kingdoms era, so according to Gao Ping's drawings, the blacksmith in the city barely hit a simple barbell, horizontal bar, the physical strength was sore, hundreds of pounds of barbells on the body, the soldiers suddenly couldn't bear it, Every day is so tired that they don't even have the strength to speak, and many soldiers have red and swollen necks, these training methods make Guan Yu Zhang Fei laugh, and even Liu Bei frowned, but the three of them admired Gao Ping's perseverance, in their minds, it is simply impossible for a literati to run ten miles.

At the same time, Gao Ping formulated some military regulations and military disciplines on the original basis:

First, obedience is the duty of a soldier, and in battle, he must obey the command and do what he is ordered and prohibited.

Second, those who are not allowed to loot property, disturb the people, or take anything from the people in vain will not be forgiven.

Thirdly, treat the captives well, and those who surrender are to be distributed among the captives with food from their own army, and they are not allowed to be abused;

Fourth, the establishment of deputy positions among the soldiers, from the commander to the hundred generals are divided into principal and deputy, who escape from the battle or surrender to the enemy immediately beheaded, if the captain escapes or surrenders to the enemy, the deputy commander kills, this deputy commander automatically becomes the commander, the chief escapes or defects to the enemy, and the deputy commander kills the deputy commander becomes the commander, and so on, if the soldier dies in battle, the same is true, so as to avoid chaos caused by the soldier without command.

Fifth, three months after the formation of the new army, a military competition will be held once a month, divided into two aspects: the individual side will be carried out separately for each battalion, and the top three in each battalion will be given a certain reward, and then the top three in each battalion will be gathered together to compete for the honor of "the first soldier in the whole army", and the first three soldiers will be personally issued a bronze medal and generous material rewards by Liu Bei, and at the same time be named on the military bulletin board of the training ground for seven days as a commendation; In terms of groups, each battle is taken as a unit, from the queue formation, military appearance, military posture, army morale, proficiency and actual combat training five aspects of assessment, the top three will be given by Liu Bei personally to win the battle banner, and the first place each soldier monthly salary plus three percent, the second two percent, the third one percent.

Liu Bei couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "As soon as Ziqing's article comes out, it will be difficult for him not to train seriously." Gao Pingxin said that this is not easy, under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!

After nearly 20 days of physical training, Gao Ping's 1200 soldiers were finally able to run 30 laps, and even some did not even take a few breaths of air, and the speed has also been greatly improved, but the soldiers were very dissatisfied with Gao Ping's lack of weapons, and after a month, Gao Ping increased the difficulty, pinned the weight bags on the soldiers' ankles, and a few days later pinned the weight bags on both wrists, and then added a 40-pound backpack on the back, and carried out a 30-mile rapid march drill every three days, and carried out a 50-mile weight-bearing long-distance cross-country every seven days.

"Third Brother Zhang, what do you say is surnamed Gao?" A black-faced recruit asked the veteran next to him during the training break: "You have traveled a lot and have a wide range of knowledge, you tell everyone that this is not to give us weapons, but to let us run and jump like a foal every day, and there is also a stone hugging, what do you say is this called?" "The repetitive hard training every day has taken a toll on some people.

"Isn't it!" A little man said: "You see that Zhao San has learned a lot of martial arts from General Guan, and now he is majestic."

"Fuck, I'm about to tear down all my bones."

"And that off-road is literally killing people"

"Not to mention off-road, compared to heavy bags and backpacks, I now miss the original off-road with bare hands"

"Silly, Lao Tzu has already replaced the contents of the weight bag and backpack with rice husks," the veteran patted himself on the back of his bag.

"This ginger has to be your old spicy, why didn't I think of it, and when I go home at night, I will let my mother-in-law change it."

"Why don't we go and beg Lord Liu to transfer us to General Guan."

"It would be better if you could go to the third general to be a cavalryman" So seven or eight people complained about it, and then many people began to secretly "adjust" the heavy bags and backpacks, and fortunately Gao Ping didn't seem to find out and let it go, because Gao Ping knew that before the training had no effect, it was impossible to make these people obey his orders and meticulous training, but after these serious training people were rewarded, I am afraid that there would be people scrambling to come to the guard camp.

After two months of training, Gao Ping finally brought weapons to the soldiers, 200 blue and blue broadswords, completely in accordance with the style of Guan Yu's broadsword, but the size is slightly shorter, and the weight is much lighter, the Qinglong Yanyue knife weighs 82 pounds, and these broadswords are more than 40 pounds, in Gao Ping's heart, a Guan Yu is powerful, but if there can be thousands of small Guan Yu, then even if it can't be attacked, but it is not a problem to protect the safety of the coach (author's words: "Alas!"). It's not promising! ”）

, 200 big knives have been all the blacksmiths in Xiaopei City for nearly a month, and Liu Bei came forward to ask Mi Zhu to pay for the iron and talent to complete it. Liu Bei also apologized to Gao Ping for this incident, but Gao Ping smiled and said that 200 was enough. Originally, Gao Ping also wanted to build 200 sets of all-iron armor, but his economic strength was limited, and now Liu Bei's subordinates are not ordinary soldiers, and even some generals have all-iron armor yet, alas! You can't do anything without money.

As the saying goes, pay is rewarded, Gao Ping is not very demanding of them, as long as they can pick up and run 30 laps normally, and then play more than a dozen rounds, the results came out quickly, there are 600 people who can run down, and only more than 300 people are out of breath and play more than a dozen rounds, all of them are people who are strong and usually train hard, Gao Ping gathered these people together, selected the strongest of them 200 people, the corner of his mouth showed a smile, and said loudly:

"Brothers, congratulations on persevering to the end, it turns out that you belong to the strong, only the strong in the world can enjoy honor, in the future you will become the strongest army in the world, I am proud of you, do you know what the strongest person in the world is?"

"It's the legendary dragon" didn't wait for everyone to answer, Gao Ping himself replied: "Now I will name you the Flying Dragon Battalion, each of you will enjoy double military salary, and in the future, the two generals Guan Zhang will personally teach martial arts, and belong to Liu Bei's personal guard troops, no one has the right to transfer at any time, believe me, in the future, you will be born as a dragon and become a hero of ten thousand people!" Gao Ping's sharp eyes scanned everyone's voice, in fact, doubling the military salary was really Gao Ping's excitement for a while, but the words spilled out, Gao Ping knew that even if Liu Bei could promise Guan and Zhang, the two would never agree, why should your troops take double the money? There is really no way to only pay out of his own pocket, anyway, there are not many people, the big deal is to go to Liu Bei's every day to eat, Gao Ping began to secretly calculate Liu Bei again.

"Drink!"

"Drink! Drink! ”

"Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! ……”

200 people roared one after another with weapons, expressing their inner joy and the bitterness of many days of hard training.
