"One-two-one, one-two-one, one, two, three, four......" There is only one explanation for the sound of the trumpets shouted during the training of the later army in the military camp of Qingzhou City in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, the cadets who have just arrived at the barracks are running, these trumpets were made by Zhao Yan at the beginning, although it is very simple, but it can improve the morale of the cadets when running.

"The military order is like a mountain, let you arrive before noon yesterday, but it was half an hour late, and now you are punished to wear armor and run ten miles, do you accept it?" Zhou Tong next to him shouted loudly to the students while running.

"Serve!" The running cadets also immediately shouted loudly, they had just arrived at the barracks yesterday, but after only one night's rest, they were called up by Zhou Dong to punish them for running, on the grounds that they arrived at the military academy half an hour later than the stipulated time, although most of these cadets are still suffering from frostbite, but no one has any complaints.

Now it's just dawn, and the soldiers in the barracks have just gotten up, and their drills all start after breakfast, so at this time, seeing these military cadets who have just arrived are practicing, it has also aroused the curiosity of many soldiers.

"The military order is like a mountain! What a military order! Yang Wenguang, who was outside the school grounds, looked at the students who were wearing armor weighing dozens of pounds and still running without changing their faces, and couldn't help but show an expression of admiration.

"It's not wartime, and it's snowing so heavily, so it's understandable to arrive half an hour late, isn't that Instructor Zhou a little fussy?" At this time, Gu He, who was next to Yang Wenguang, frowned and said, most of the cadets of the military academy are not very old, in order to arrive at the barracks on time, they ran against the wind and snow for almost a night the night before, and finally almost crawled to the barracks. And it was only half an hour late, if this was put on other troops, I am afraid that most of the commanders would open the net, except of course in the event of war, and no one would blame the use of strict military law in war.

Hearing the words of his right-hand man, Yang Wenguang did not answer immediately. Instead, he pointed to the cadets who were running on the school field and said, "Furukawa, have you noticed anything different about these cadets when they run?" ”

"Something different?" Furukawa couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Yang Wenguang's words, and then turned his head to carefully observe the running students, and soon he was shocked to find that these students still maintained a neat line even when they were running in armor, and the footsteps were also neat, sounding like a person running, Furukawa had been in the army for so many years. It's the first time I've seen such a neat team.

Yang Wenguang saw the change in the expression on Guhe's face, and couldn't help but smile at the moment: "See, these military cadets can maintain a uniform pace even when running with weights, and this is not something they deliberately do, but something they do naturally, which shows that they are extremely rigorously trained in the military academy and do not allow any mistakes." Over time, these students became accustomed to this rigorous training. As for their arrival half an hour late, it may seem excusable to us, but in the eyes of these students, it is an unforgivable mistake! ”

"I see, no wonder these students have only had a night's rest and are also suffering from frostbite. But no one complained during the run, and it seemed that they already knew about the punishment they were going to receive. Furukawa also nodded at this time, and at the same time, he was more curious about the military academy, wanting to know what kind of training these cadets received in the military academy?

Under the supervision of Zhou Tong, the cadets of the military academy finally ran ten miles. Yang Wenguang and the others outside thought that the punishment would end here, but what they didn't expect was that then these students climbed on the ground, and then supported their bodies with their arms and leaned together, I heard that it was called push-ups, and they could only stand up and go to eat after doing a hundred.

Seeing the training intensity of these students, Yang Wenguang and others outside were also stunned, if they were just running in front of them wearing the armor of the students, many people present were confident that they could run down, but after running, they would have to do a hundred push-ups, although they had not done it, but they knew that it was not easy at a glance, and some curious soldiers learned to try, and none of them could do a hundred in one go.

In the next few days, Yang Wenguang and other generals in the military camp would take time out to watch the drills of the cadets almost every day, and even Yang Wenguang called his grandson Yang Anxing and others to ask them about their life in the military academy and what they usually learned, and even he deliberately considered their art of war, and found that these juniors of the Yang family were all fluent in answers, but there was no experience in some places, so the answers were too dull, but this is not a big problem, as long as they have experienced a few actual battles, I will definitely deepen my understanding of the art of war, and I will be able to apply what I have learned more flexibly in the future.

The arrival of the cadets not only attracted the attention of Yang Wenguang and others, but also Zhao Ji in Gyeongju City came to the military camp to visit these cadets after knowing about it, and he also served as the vice principal of the military academy, so these cadets are also his students, plus he is also very satisfied with the performance of these cadets, so he specially told Yang Wenguang to treat these cadets seriously, and strive to cultivate them into the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty.

In his opinion, these cadets have learned all the things of being a general, but they are different according to their personal abilities, and at the same time, they have not undergone the baptism of actual combat, and they are lacking in some aspects, which is also the main reason why Zhao Yan and Yang Huaiyu sent them, that is, to let them grow up in the war.

It is precisely because he knows the above that Yang Wenguang quickly appointed these military cadets as low-level generals in the army, either chiefs or heads, in charge of a team of ten or a hundred people. Among the three major components of the forbidden army, the Western Army is notoriously fierce and xenophobic, and the cadets of the military academy suddenly parachuted into the bosses of those officers and soldiers of the Western Army, which naturally caused many people to be dissatisfied, but thanks to this period of time they have been practicing in the military camp, which also makes many people greatly admire the cadets of the military academy, so although those cadets are still a little ostracized after taking up their posts, they are much better than expected, and I believe that as long as they are in a period of time, they will be fully integrated into the Western Army.

"Third brother, I heard that the first batch of students in the military academy left the capital, where did they go?" In the garden of Zhao Yan's newly bought house, Hu Yanping asked Zhao Yan while eating roast duck, in addition to the two of them, Cao Song, who is usually busy and doesn't see anyone, is also here, but at this time, he only cares about eating roast duck, and he has no time to talk to Zhao Yan at all.

"Hehe, this matter is confidential, so please ask Brother Huyan to forgive me!" Zhao Yan smiled when he heard this, the departure of the cadets involved the battle of annihilation that the Great Song Dynasty was preparing for against the Western Xia, so naturally he couldn't tell others casually.

"Third brother, your roast duck is so delicious, bring me another one!" At this time, Cao Song ate with a mouth full of oil, he was not there when the roast duck was just roasted successfully, and this time he was finally able to be free, so Zhao Yan invited him to taste the roast duck, and by the way, he also let him take a look at his newly bought house.

"Give me another one, speaking of which this roast duck is really boring, if our roast duck restaurant opens in the future, I have to eat it every day!" Hu Yanping also shouted loudly at this time, he was very concerned about the affairs of the military academy, but when he heard that the departure of the cadets was related to confidentiality, he immediately stopped asking, and instead focused on the food in front of him.

Zhao Yan also laughed when he heard this, and immediately asked people to send three more, speaking of which, his meal volume also increased, and a roast duck couldn't eat enough at all. However, at this time, Cao Song heard Hu Yanping's words and asked again: "Third brother, I heard the meaning of the third brother-in-law's words just now, do you want to partner up to open a restaurant that sells this kind of roast duck?" ”

"Yes, Brother Huyan's Zhuangzi is a duck breeder, and it just so happens that I know how to roast this delicious duck, so last time my lady discussed it with the third sister and prepared to open a shop in partnership, mainly selling roast duck, and there are some other ways to eat duck, so you must visit more at that time!" Zhao Yan explained to Cao Song with a smile that last time Hu Yanping's wife saw through Zhao Yan and Cao Ying's intentions to help them at a glance, but in the end she agreed, after all, first, her family was indeed in some difficulties, and secondly, Cao Ying was her sister, and it was normal for her sister to reach out to help when her sister was in difficulty.

"That's great, I don't know when it's going to open? I really want to be able to taste such delicious roast duck at any time! Cao Song said a little exaggerated at this time, he also knew the difficulties encountered by Hu Yanping's family before, and he wanted to reach out to help, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan to take the lead, so he could only do his best in other aspects.

"It is estimated that in the past two days, the location of the roast duck restaurant has been chosen, near the South Gate Street in the north of Xiangguo Temple, where there was originally a restaurant, and it can be used if it is rebuilt, and then Brother Jiu'er, you have to pull a few more people over!" Zhao Yan also replied with a smile. He doesn't care about the roast duck business, but for Hu Yanping and his wife, the roast duck restaurant is not only about their income, but also about whether the ducks in Zhuangzi can be sold.

"Don't worry, this roast duck is so delicious, it is estimated that as long as you eat it once, you will be completely obsessed with it, and I can't wait to get hungry soon, so that I can eat it again." When he said this, Cao Song suddenly seemed to think of something, and said to Zhao Yan with a solemn face, "Third brother, there has been a strange thing during this time, I don't know if you have heard of it?"
