And those who are lazy can't help but regret their intestines, you must know that the money and food given by being a soldier under Liu Bei are much higher than in other places, and if you are a petty official, it will be more, and now you are watching people double their salaries, how can you not be blushing? But what can be done, who told them not to work hard in the past two months, and from time to time laughed at those "fools" in their impressions, now I understand why Gao Ping made him carry 40 pounds of off-road, it turned out that he was only preparing for heavy weapons,

Gao Ping nodded with satisfaction and signaled everyone to be quiet and then said to the rest of the people in a deep voice: "It turns out that you have not met the requirements, only hard work will be rewarded, but after these two months of baptism, at least you will become the strongest among the soldiers, and you will enter General Guan's infantry army in the future, in fact, I am afraid that many people have already planned to do so," Gao Ping chuckled and said: "But I hope you can correct your shortcomings in the future and become a real strong one day." ”

Gao Ping asked Liu Bei after Guan Yu Zhang Fei was very reluctant to come to Gao Ping every three days to teach martial arts in this pitiful army, Gao Ping in peacetime training plus the formation cooperation, Gao Ping asked every three people in a group, each other's eyes and ears, advance and retreat together, because Gao Ping believes that the triangle is the most stable, in the battle three people have a relatively broad field of vision, cooperate with each other, can achieve the best combat effect.

In the autumn of the fifth year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, on the tenth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the sun hung high, the sky was clear, and the first military competition was staged in Xiaopei City.

On the teaching military field, there were many people, and Xiao Pei and the other officials were also very interested in it, almost all of them arrived this time, and Liu Bei also deliberately gave them a day off, in Gao Ping's words, it was a combination of work and rest! After learning the news of the military competition, the people rushed to tell each other, and in a short time there were several layers around the periphery, and people talked about it, and even some good people made a bet on who was the first, after all, there were very few entertainment activities in that era. Many of these soldiers who participated for the first time seemed to be indifferent, but when the first person was not only rewarded by Liu Bei personally, but also directly promoted from an ordinary soldier to a hundred generals, they would all scramble, Gao Ping secretly made a small calculation, and quietly told Liu Bei, who was sitting in the main seat, Liu Bei smiled and agreed to this proposal.

"Aha, Gao boy, it's in vain to play any tricks, you just wait for the Drunken Immortal Building to have a treat," Zhang Fei, who was standing behind Liu Bei, shouted.

"The army of Yide is really strong" Guan Yu also smiled and said: "It looks like the situation is decided."

It turned out that on the road, Liu Bei proposed that the cavalry should not be allowed to ride horses, so as to be fair, but Gao Ping actually said that even if Zhang Fei's cavalry rode two horses, it was not an opponent, and Zhang Fei was so angry that even Guan Yu was aroused by Gao Ping's arrogance, so he bet that the loser would have a treat in the Zuixian Building, the largest restaurant in Xiaopei.

The soldiers who won the top three from each battalion quickly stood in the center of the field, and they all stood in the middle of the field, because it was not only a matter of honor, but more importantly, there were plenty of rewards waiting for them.

First of all, a single duel, 12 people draw lots to fight against the elimination, unfortunately Gao Ping's three soldiers have two of them on Zhang Fei's cavalry, so that Zhang Fei was so excited that he clapped his hands, but the result made Zhang Fei's eyes widen, open his mouth for a long time did not speak, although Gao Ping soldiers are at a disadvantage to a person and a horse, but after these months of almost devilish training, its physical strength, endurance, especially wrist strength, arm strength has made breakthrough progress, the first cavalry several sprints knife and gun collision more than ten times, Gao Ping's infantry was knocked down several times, actually got up tenaciously every time, and when he reached the twentieth round, he actually rose up with a sword, and the momentum sank, and the weapon in the hands of the cavalry was shaken away.

The second person is even more miserable, Gao Ping's subordinates are a bearded man who only used one round, not only shook the cavalry weapons away, but also grabbed the horse man off the ground, like carrying a chicken, and suddenly won a full house, but the third person was slightly thinner to Guan Yu's spearmen It took some time, but still with sufficient physical strength to drag the other party down and knock him down, and the bearded man passed all the way to win the first place, in fact, this is not the result of Gao Ping, although the top three are Gao Ping's soldiers, But Gao Ping's original intention was to let Guan Zhang know that the elite soldiers are not as casual as they can train, especially endurance is particularly important, like the second and third, the two soldiers are the best embodiment, but this bearded man won too simply, almost all of them were done in one round, only when he fought for the first time with the black bull, the black bull showed tenacious perseverance, was knocked down ten times, and each time he stubbornly got up, and finally the bearded man pressed it under him, and Liu Bei was also worried that the two were injured and announced the champion in time.

When Liu Bei asked for his name, the bearded man may have been too excited and laughed: "A certain surname is Zhou Mingcang", Gao Ping was surprised and couldn't help blurting out: "What? Are you Zhou Cang? In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Cang was originally a robber, and when he saw Guan Yumian, he prostrated himself on the side of the road and said that he was willing to be the general's foot soldier, and he was willing to die with the whip and stirrup sooner or later, and he was willing to die. And Zhou Cang's martial arts are also good, although there is only this sentence in the romance, although there is only this sentence in the romance, the power of a thousand catties shows his bravery. Now Liu Bei's subordinates are short of talents, but they don't want this talent to be in the army all the time, but Gao Ping remembers that this person seems to be called Li Cang?

Zhou Cang's words were out of his mouth, and he was shocked when he saw Gao Ping hearing his name, and he knelt down on his knees: "My lord forgives me, not because Cang deliberately concealed it, Cangqian had followed the Yellow Turban, and although Cang was born recklessly, he knew loyalty and righteousness, and saw that the Yellow Turban was out of righteousness, so he fled to another country, and the day before yesterday he went to Xuzhou, and the people passed on the benevolence and righteousness of Lord Liu, and he was afraid that the Lord would be a thief and refused to take him in, so he came to serve under the pseudonym Li Cang, hoping that the Lord would be gracious, and he could punish him how, but he didn't drive Zhou Cang away. ”

When Gao Ping heard this, he felt that his surprise actually scared Zhou Cang half to death, and he was just about to say something to convince him, but he saw Guan Zhang and Guan Yu both stepped forward and said: "Big brother, this person is quite brave, you might as well stay." ”

"Haha, what the second brother said is reasonable, what kind of yellow scarf and black scarf, I look at him pleasing to the eye, see that he has the strength to accompany me to practice every day" Zhang Fei laughed and said.

Liu Bei waved his hand, smiled and helped Zhou Cang up: "The so-called heroes don't ask where they come from, the ancients are familiar with it, and if you change it, you will be good, and Liu Beijun will be your home in the future."

Zhou Cang thanked and returned to the team. And Gao Ping smiled silently, and said in his heart that with Zhou Cang, he would not have to work so hard in the future, and he could teach him about training, Zhou Cang seemed to be quite obedient in history, and Zhou Cang could bear it after listening to Zhang Fei's meaning, Zhou Cang was walking to the team but felt cold on his back, did the wind rise?

Then Liu Bei announced that Zhou Cang, the first place in the competition, would be promoted to a hundred generals, assist Gao Ping in commanding the Flying Dragon Battalion, and dare to appoint an unfamiliar person as the deputy commander of his own guard battalion, which shows Liu Bei's trust in people, and can also see Liu Bei's sharp vision. It's because of that kind of sincere trust, but this is Liu Bei's charm, don't use suspicious people, don't use people. The second black bull is mentioned as Dubo, and the third Li Ergou is mentioned as the chief (Han Dynasty military system, five people and one team set up the chief, two soldiers and one team set up the chief, five tithes and one team, set up the team rate, or Dubo, two teams and one tun, set up a hundred generals) So the whole army thundered, if there is no military merit in this era, it is not easy to stay up with an official and a half-post, and now the opportunity has come, so since then the whole army has set off a frenzy of martial arts, Zhou Cang is surrounded by a group of people every day to teach martial arts, and the black bull, two dogs and other superhuman endurance are also quite sought after.

The next confrontation between the teams is undoubtedly Gao Ping's three to take the top three, Gao Ping's team under the leadership of the chief, three people form a small triangle, three triangles and form a big triangle, Shi Chang in the middle of the command, advance can attack, retreat can defend, punctual like a hedgehog as impermeable, so that the opponent is difficult to mouth, attack like a pack of wolves hunting, first divide the opponent of the ten people into small pieces, and then with skillful cooperation with each break, but after all, the training time is still short, on the Zhang Fei cavalry is still difficult, with the strong impact of the cavalry, In particular, the power of ten people charging together is quite terrifying, fortunately, Zhang Fei only cared about rushing and killing during training, regardless of the formation and cooperation, so that the Gaoping Flying Dragon Battalion had a chance to take advantage of it, but it also won extremely reluctantly, and when the first time to compete for the first time, the ten knights quickly swept the six people of the Flying Dragon Battalion in one go, and finally Zhou Cang turned the tide and won the victory after knocking down four horses in a row. After the game, Zhang Fei punched Gao Ping's chest and grinned: "You kid really has a set, I will obey you." And Guan Yu's eyes were slightly softer when he looked at Gao Ping, but he still showed great arrogance and disdain.

Gao Ping bent down in pain, stared at Zhang Fei fiercely, and muttered in a low voice: "You don't have to use so much strength if you're happy, the soldiers under him are not opponents, so look for them here." ”

Liu Bei personally presented medals to the first three shi, and announced that due to the outstanding performance of the Feilong Battalion, all the officers and soldiers of the battalion were promoted to one level and were paid a 30% increase, so the whole army was shaken. After the competition, the Flying Dragon Battalion became famous in the army, Zhang Fei fulfilled his promise to hold a banquet in the drunken immortal building, and in addition to Gao Ping, Guan Yu, Liu Bei also led Xiao Pei Wenwu to the banquet, during the banquet Zhang Sanye was quite sincere to Gao Ping to discuss the art of training soldiers, Gao Ping later the world summarized the essence of Sun Tzu's art of war to take the opportunity to teach everyone here a lesson.

After that, Guan and Zhang imitated Gao Ping's training techniques and added their own style, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of their subordinates.

It is also worth mentioning that under the co-teaching of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Gao Ping finally learned to ride a horse.
