On the night of the first formal training of the Junzi Army, the first deserter appeared in the Junzi Army, which had only been formed for one day, and this deserter was none other than Lin Qing, who was named by Tao Ying as a personal soldier. When he escaped, Lin Qing also left a line of words on the wall with Juanxiu's handwriting - boring! Too lazy to play with you nerd!

There were deserters in only one day after the army was formed, which was naturally not good news for the newly formed Junzi Army, and the morale of Tao Ying, who was not very high, was somewhat affected, and Tao Ying's cousin Tao Ji, who had never been optimistic about the prospects of the Junzi Army, was even more depressed, sighing that the future of the Junzi Army was completely bright, and secretly complained that his uncle was harmful, and forced himself to be under the command of such a useless cousin, which affected his own great future. After Tao Ying received the news, he did not get angry, nor did he jump like thunder, but before the second training of the Junzi Army, he gave another lecture to the Junzi Army.

"Brethren, there is good news for you." Standing in front of the queue of nine hundred gentlemen's soldiers, Tao Ying said in a surprising voice, smiling loudly: "The good news is that a coward who will drag you back on the battlefield, a scourge who will kill you in vain on the battlefield, and a scourge that will turn us from sincere unity into a plate of loose garbage, got out of the way last night!" Become a deserter! This is a gratifying thing, and all of us in the Gentleman's Army should be glad for it! Rejoice! ”

There was a whisper among the soldiers of the Junzi Army, all of them were very surprised by Tao Ying's words, and Tao Ji, who was standing in front of Tao Ying, didn't give his brother face, he directly rolled his eyes, and secretly scolded his brother for being an idiot, how could such a thing be publicized with great fanfare? also publicly expressed congratulations, isn't this a disguised incitement of the soldiers of the Gentlemen's Army to be deserters?

"Brothers, you must be very strange that there were deserters on the first day of our gentlemen's army, why should I want you to celebrate?" Tao Ying didn't pay attention to Tao Ji's eyes at all, but continued to say loudly: "I'm not a swollen face and a fat man, I'm sincerely happy!" I'm glad you all the same! ”

"Brothers, you can imagine if the scourge named Lin Qing didn't get out of the way in advance, but continued to hide in the ranks of our gentlemen's army, and got by, then what would happen on the battlefield? When we charge, he will run at the rear! When he holds on, he will take the lead in running for his life! "In a bloody battle with the enemy, he will push you to block the enemy's knife! When he fails, he will not hesitate to betray you and trade your lives for his life! And when it comes time to win, he will rush to the front to snatch the spoils that belong to you! Snatch the spoils of your blood! If you don't give it, he will stab you in the back and stumble, making you uncomfortable! ”

Speaking of this loudly, Tao Ying raised his voice again and asked loudly: "Brothers, tell me, tell you the commander of the Gentleman's Army, such a companion, do you want it?!" ”

"Don't!" The newly trained Gentlemen's Army officers and men answered unevenly, but their voices were loud and their attitudes were resolute.

"That's right! I don't want it either! I don't want such a coward! Tao Ying shouted loudly: "We are a gentleman's army, a gentleman's army that is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, guards justice, and rejects evil!" A gentleman's army that stands up to the sky! Don't be a coward, don't be shameless! We are hard-working, thrifty, smart and brave, our journey is the world's Kyushu, we don't want to drag the waste behind! Tell me, brethren, that we should be glad that the waste that dragged us back escaped? Or should it be sad? ”

"Rejoice! We should be happy! Surely should be happy. The nine hundred gentlemen's soldiers replied unevenly.

"Didn't have breakfast? Why is the sound so quiet? Tao Ying yelled: "Answer louder, answer neatly, happy or not?" ”

"Happy!" The nine hundred gentlemen's soldiers finally began to answer neatly, and their voices became much louder.

"Good!" Tao Ying nodded vigorously, waved his arm again and shouted: "Happy to be happy, but deserters and traitors can't be spared, I have already sent someone to contact the Assassin Mansion, and ask the Assassin Mansion to post a list and offer a reward for the capture of the traitor Lin Qing!" After he is caught, he will be severely punished with a hundred military sticks! It's up to me to do it myself! ”

"Childe, that traitor should be cut down!" Countless gentlemen and soldiers shouted.

"That's not necessary." Tao Ying shook his head, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "Brothers, there is a very important reason why I am only going to fight that traitor with a hundred military sticks!" Our Gentleman's Army was just formed the evening before yesterday, and everything is difficult at the beginning, I want to turn the little-known Gentleman's Army into a famous Hundred Battles Heroes in Kyushu, I am difficult! It is even more difficult for you to go from a rookie who has never touched the handle of a knife to an elite among the elite, to a captain, a chief, a Dubo, a hundred generals, a tooth general, and even a general! There are countless hardships and dangers ahead of me and you, and I, like you, have to endure countless hardships and sins! ”

"It's nothing to endure hardships and sins, only when you suffer hardships can you become a superior person! I am convinced that I will be able to endure so much suffering, brothers, what about you? So I'm here to ask you, will you be able to persevere? Can you endure such suffering? If you don't have confidence in yourself, and you feel that you can't stand so much, you can stand up now, take a hundred sticks, and leave! I won't stop you! ”

"Brothers, do you understand what I say?" Tao Ying raised his voice again, waved his arms vigorously and shouted, "Brothers, choose! Are you imagining Lin Qing, leaving the barracks with your tail between your legs, to be ridiculed by your fellow villagers, despised by your relatives, and a waste coward who can't hold his head up all his life? I still want to join me in enduring countless hardships and sins, and finally become a human being! The choice is yours! You only have this one chance, if you don't leave now, if there are any escapees in the future, it will not be as simple as beating a hundred military sticks, and those who escape from the battle will be severely punished! ”

The nine hundred soldiers of the Junzi Army did not move at all, including Tao Ji, who had long wanted to leave the Junzi Army, the soldiers of the Junzi Army had just received Tao Ying's training for only one day, and they had not yet seen the real hell, and they all thought that they would be able to persevere, but Tao Ji couldn't pull this face and escaped from the Junzi Army in public, let alone the infamy of a waste coward, so he and the Junzi Army officers and soldiers stood up and put on a resolute attitude.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no soldier came out to say that he was a coward, Tao Ying nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Very good, since no one wants to be a coward and a waste, then the training begins, just like yesterday, and marches ten miles with a load!" The first 30 people who ran the first 10 miles today will be promoted to the Judge Advocate General tomorrow to supervise the rest of the march with heavy loads! Begin! ”

After that, Tao Ying took the lead on the road of training and carrying weights, and while trotting and gradually speeding up, he shouted, "Shout with me, shout neatly, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime!" Shout neatly, shout loudly, the neater and louder the better! ”

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime!" The gentlemen and soldiers carefully selected by Tao Ying were really obedient, and under Tao Ying's repeated requests, the slogans were really neat and loud. And with the infection of this neat slogan, the adverse effects of desertion on the first day of the establishment of the Junzi Army have completely disappeared.

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime!" Tao Ying took the lead in shouting the slogan, and whispered in his heart, "Damn, it's self-defeating, and I planned to use it day and night, but I ran away in less than two days, I really can't steal chickens and rice!" Little girl, wait, wait until I catch you, you don't even want to run away if you have a 'military stick'! Let's see if you dare to give up halfway in the future! ”

When Tao Ying muttered quietly, in fact, Lin Qing was hiding in the crowd of onlookers not far from Tao Ying, but Lin Qing had already changed back into women's clothes, and she was hidden in the carriage, and there were servants and maids to protect her, so the Xuzhou soldiers who wanted Lin Qing had a hundred guts, and they didn't dare to lift the curtain to check if there were any deserters, and at the same time, Tao Ying's words were also heard by Lin Qing a lot. The result is natural............

"Blind nerd, how dare you insult this girl in public! Very well, you can remember it for this girl! This girl wants to see if you have the ability to beat my baton! ”

………………

When Tao Ying was training the East Gate Elementary School, people with a heart did not completely relax the monitoring of Tao Ying and the Junzi Army's every move, but after five or six days of monitoring, these people were also completely disappointed and completely relaxed, because Tao Ergongzi's military training method really did not have any commendability, the first three days in addition to running with weight was to practice formation, and on the fourth day, he joined the soldiers to practice five bird plays in the morning, and then joined the knife training, and this knife training was also outrageous, only let the soldiers of the Junzi Army practice three knives, Chopping on the head, slashing obliquely from top to bottom and slashing from bottom to top is even as simple as the training method of Cao Bao, a third-rate military general in the world.

If you insist on saying that Tao Ergongzi has any shining points in military training, there may be only two, one is that Tao Ergongzi attaches great importance to the discipline of the gentleman's army, and in five or six days, a group of recruit eggs have turned into a barely formed whole, whether it is shouting slogans, marching or wielding sabers, every move is very neat, and it looks quite beautiful. The second is that Tao Ergongzi attaches great importance to the arm strength training of soldiers, and has created an arm strength training method called pull-ups, which allows the soldiers of the Junzi Army to hold the wooden pole with both hands and pull up their bodies to exercise the strength of their arms.

But it's a pity that Tao Ying's two small flashes of light are not enough to satisfy his relatives and friends who are looking forward to him, because although Tao Ying's gentleman's army is only 900 people, but the early investment alone is almost the same as the early investment of the 4,000 recruits recruited by Cao Bao.

On the contrary, there are some people who are very satisfied with Tao Ying's performance, for example, Liu Bei Liu Xuande, who claims to be the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing and the queen of Zhongshan Jing, after carefully understanding Tao Ying's training methods and processes, Xuande Gong showed some imperceptible joy, and secretly said that he was really cautious and suspicious. Lowering his tall and glorious image in the minds of the Mi Zhu brothers may also cause Tao Qian to be disgusted, which is really worth the loss.

After secretly laughing at Tao Ying's paper talk and his own caution, Xuande Gong quickly accepted the kindness of the Mi Zhu brothers, selected the inferior Northern Xiongnu war horses in his cavalry team, and replaced them with the good horses in the Western Regions that the Mi Zhu brothers bought with a lot of money, and then handed over these inferior war horses to Mi Fang, who personally sent the horses, and asked Mi Fang to bring them back to Xuzhou to Tao Qian and his son, and then let Tao Ying take these second-class horses to arm the destined third-rate gentleman army.

At the same time, Liu Bei explained to Mi Fang: "I am tired and advise Mi not to drive, Xuzhou is always owned by Tao Fujun, everything is too public, and it is also harmful to the reputation of the other brothers." Therefore, Bei thinks that don't drive brothers don't need to take the affairs of the gentleman's army too seriously, if there is a leak, it will inevitably cause Tao Fujun to be disgusted and bring unnecessary trouble to other brothers. ”

"Thank you Xuande Gong for your advice, Mi Fang will definitely tell my brother." Mi Fang understood and knew that Liu Bei wanted his brother to relax his surveillance of Tao Ying, so as not to leak the news and cause trouble, which caused Tao Qian to be angry.

After agreeing, Mi Fang suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly said to Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong, my brother still has something to do with Mi Fang to play Xuande Gong, my brother found out, Tao Yingxiaoer ordered Cao Hong to prepare ten carpenters and a batch of good wood for him, and borrowed fifty Danyang soldiers from Cao Hong, and set aside a few grass houses in the Junzi Army camp, so that the carpenter can make some wood in the grass house, but what kind of wood is it, because the Danyang soldiers are tightly sealed, and the brother and Mi Fang have no way to explore. My brother suspects that Tao Ying'er is likely to make a new weapon! ”

"Wood? A new weapon made of wood? Liu Bei smiled dumbly and said, "No matter how good the wood is, the weapons made can catch up with the hardness and sharpness of iron weapons?" ”

"yes." Mi Fang echoed: "Mi Fang also thinks that my brother is making too much of a fuss, but my brother must Mi Fang tell Xuande Gong about this matter, and ask Xuande Gong to be careful and give instructions." ”

"There's no need to waste time and energy." Liu Bei said contemptuously: "A nerd, holding a pile of wood, what new weapon can he make?" Crash or ladder? I'm afraid he hasn't even seen what a crash and a ladder look like, right? Zifang went back to say goodbye, don't spy anymore, Tao Fujun even found out about your secret purchase of horses for me, and if you continue to spy on Tao Yingxiao'er, not only will you not be able to hide Tao Fujun's eyes, but it will also further anger him. ”

"What Xuande Gong said is very true, Mi Fang remembered it." Mi Fang replied respectfully: "Actually, Mi Fang doesn't want to startle the snake, so that Tao Fujun is wary of Xuande Gongsheng, but the elder brother is too suspicious, and Mi Fang must secretly monitor Tao Ying'er, that nerd." ”

"Zizhong is not too suspicious, but cautious." Liu Bei changed his solemn face and said very seriously: "Tao Yingxiao'er went deep into Cao Ying to deliver the letter, everyone is that he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he doesn't know the height of the sky, Liu Bei also thought so at the time. But now Liu Bei thought about it carefully and found that there may be another possibility, that is, Tao Ying Xiao'er may have known the news of the attack on Yanzhou by Lu Bu, the third surnamed family slave, at that time, and it was expected that Cao Thief would inevitably withdraw from Xuzhou, so he dared to rush to Cao Ying alone to deliver the letter! ”

"Impossible, right?" Mi Fang was surprised and said, "This is absolutely impossible!" At that time, if Tao Qian knew that Cao Thief was about to retreat, he would never let Xuande Gong's army enter Xuzhou City, but would only let your army be stationed outside the city. ”

"How could it not be? After all, Tao Fujun's family has deep roots in Xuzhou and has hidden news channels, which is not surprising. Liu Bei shook his head and said with a sneer: "Maybe Tao Yingxiao'er received the news and didn't pay tribute to Tao Fujun, and then pretended to be born and died for the people of Xuzhou, risked going deep into Cao Ying to deliver a letter, and snatched away the great merit of Xuzhou that should have belonged to me!" ”

"Is this possible?" Mi Fang's eyes widened, and she said even more surprised: "Just that nerd who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains, can he have such a scheming?" ”

"Of course there is this possibility, but there is no evidence, and it cannot be confirmed that this second son of Tao is a stupid nerd with no heart?" Liu Bei snorted coldly again, "Or is it a poisonous snake that is extremely hidden?" ”

Speaking of which, after talking to Mi Fang about Tao Ying's suspicions, Liu Bei inevitably had some doubts in his heart, and felt that it was best to be cautious again, so Liu Bei only thought about it for a while, and immediately changed his words: "Zifang, as the saying goes, be careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years, your brother Zizhong's worries are not unreasonable, Liu Bei also feels that before confirming what kind of character Tao Er Gongzi is, we can't take it lightly." ”

"What Xuan Degong means is that we take another risk and find out what kind of wooden tools Tao Ying'er is making?" Mi Fang asked tentatively.

"Not bad." Liu Bei nodded, and said coldly: "If you find out what kind of wooden tools Tao Er Gongzi is making, it is equivalent to finding out what kind of goods Tao Er Gongzi is, whether he has real talent in his stomach, knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles, and taking another risk, it is worth it!" ”

"Hearing Xuande Gong say this, Mi Fang also felt that she should take another risk." Mi Fang is very similar to Liu Bei's eight characters, and immediately smiled and said: "Please rest assured that Xuande Gong, at least ten days, more than half a month, what kind of wooden tools Tao Ying Xiaoer made in the Junzi Army camp, Mi Fang must be clear and clear for Xuande Gong!" ”
