One hundred and fifty pounds of wild boar, after removing the internal organs and bones, one person can get at least one and a half pounds of pork.

So, in the eyes of many people, this meal tonight can be called the best meal they have ever had in their lives.

After eating and drinking, feeling the residual aroma of pork in their mouths, everyone's vegetable-colored faces finally appeared a hint of ruddyness. A smile that is hard to see also appears on everyone's face from time to time.

As the night gets darker and deeper, the lively cottage slowly quiets down. Among the more than sixty bandits, the two with the highest prestige and the strongest strength. Wang Feng and Zhao Yun were successively called by Wei Zheng to their rooms.

For Zhao Yun in front of him, who was dedicated to helping him establish his prestige in the cottage, Wei Zheng was full of gratitude.

Under the gaze of two pairs of shocked eyes, Wei Zheng suddenly bowed to the two.

Then, he said with a grateful face: "Brother Zhao, Brother Wang, both of you are older than me, I will call you that from now on." During this time, if it weren't for your help, my Wei Zheng might have been killed by the Tartars in yesterday's operation. So, tonight, I specially brought the two eldest brothers to express my gratitude..."

"Especially Brother Zhao, I see everything you did today. If it weren't for you, my Wei Zheng's prestige among my brothers would never have become so high..."

Zhao Yun and Wang Feng hurriedly gave Wei Zheng a salute and said, "The big boss... Don't dare to be, how can we accept your courtesy....If you hadn't saved us at the critical moment, we would have been separated from our bodies a long time ago, and we wouldn't have survived now. ”

As a high-ranking person, especially in this hierarchical old society, some things can be pointed.

Therefore, Wei Zheng did not dwell too much on this matter.

After waving his hand to stop them from continuing. Wei Zheng directly started the real topic of tonight, and after a short period of contemplation, he asked directly to the two henchmen.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Wang, I won't say more about some compliments. I want to know what is the morale of the brothers after tonight's events, and whether they can fight in a few days...."

Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, this is the truest portrayal of Zhao Yun's heart at this moment.

Especially after experiencing yesterday's fiasco, as soon as Zhao Yun heard the word 'battle', his calm face turned pale directly. Facing Wei Zheng, he asked worriedly: "Big boss, are we going to fight again..."

Thinking of the more than sixty subordinates who could be called weak and weak, Wei Zheng didn't want to go out of the mountains to fight now.

According to Wei Zheng's cautious character, at least the bodies of the more than sixty brothers under his command must be well raised, and only after training can they take the initiative to attack.

However, time waits for no one.

The food of the cottage has bottomed out, and in history, the Houjin Tartars will have to stay here for half a year before retreating.

If you want to survive this war, enough food is absolutely necessary. Therefore, Wei Zheng had to affirm helplessly: "If we don't go to war, what will we eat..."

Seeing the increasingly worried look on Zhao Yun's face, Wei Zheng continued to speak: "But don't worry, this time we will definitely not be as reckless as yesterday, and if we are not ten percent sure, I will definitely not let my brothers die again." ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng changed his words and said in a non-negotiable tone: "Don't continue to discuss the matter of going to war, it's still the same question just now: how is the morale of the brothers, and whether they are determined to fight..."

After glancing at Wang Feng, Zhao Yun, who looked helpless, had to answer: "Please rest assured, the morale of the brothers is absolutely no problem." A word from the big boss: Just let the brothers die, and everyone will not frown. ”

Wei Zheng smiled, and immediately shifted his gaze to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng comprehended God's answer: "The big boss, the military spirit of the thirty brothers on my side is also very stable, and there should not be much problem in going out to fight." It's just that the brothers' physique is too poor, and the physique is not something that can be exercised in a short period of time. So, I'm worried that we're going to lose as much as we did yesterday. ”

Compared with Zhao Yun's honesty, Wang Feng is obviously more knowledgeable, and he is more organized than Zhao Yun.

After casting a hint of praise at Wang Feng, Wei Zheng had to reassure the two henchmen: "Don't worry, there may be losses, but it will definitely be within our tolerance." As I just said, I will never do this attack without complete certainty. ”

Now that Wei Zheng has made up his mind, Zhao Yun and Wang Feng of course only have to obey.

After the same bitter smile appeared on Zhao Yun's face, he asked directly at Wei Zheng.

"The big boss, since you want to attack, you have to be prepared... You say, if there is anything to prepare, I will start doing it tomorrow and try to go out and win a big battle. ”

Wei Zheng's face immediately became stern, and he resolutely opened his mouth and ordered: "The first thing to solve is to eat..."

"Not surprisingly, from tomorrow onwards, the pit I dug in the back mountain will be rewarded. Therefore, starting tomorrow, strive for half a pound of pork a day for everyone, and the lard should be sufficient. In addition, take out all the food we have left, make it dry for everyone to eat, and make sure that the brothers will have enough to eat for the next three days. ”

Seeing the two nodding approvingly, Wei Zheng continued to order: "Second jump, starting tomorrow, as long as the brothers who are not injured, all participate in the training." I want to train for the next two days to fundamentally change the faces of my brothers and teach them some skills to save their lives on the battlefield. ”

Early the next morning, when the bandits, who were rarely without hunger, were still lying in bed dreaming, a crisp metal knock suddenly sounded in the training ground. Then, Wang Feng's roar reached everyone's ears...

"The big boss ordered: everyone should get up immediately for training, and those who are late will not have lunch......"

The cottage has limited food, and everyone lives a hungry meal. If you don't have lunch, you can imagine that the day of hunger must be very difficult.

Sixty bandits muttered these complaints as if they had suddenly been injected with a dose of stimulant, and quickly picked them up from their beds. In less than a minute, he put on his thin and shabby clothes and rushed out of the thatched hut with his own weapons.

After seeing Wei Zheng, Zhao Yun and Wang Feng, who were already standing in the middle of the training ground, the resentment in everyone's hearts immediately disappeared.

Even the big bosses got up to train with themselves, not to mention a small gong of their own.

Glancing at the sixty subordinates who quickly gathered in front of him, there was no order, there were sixty subordinates with spears and broadswords. Wei Zheng shouted in the loudest voice he could, "Brothers, I have something to announce to you now, I hope you all listen well." ”

"I don't care what the original rules of our cottage are, from today onwards, all the rules will be done according to what I say now. From now on, the cottage will have formal training every day, and during the training, all the brothers will eat dry, and each person will have half a catty of pork every day. Everyone sue me, can you accept ......"

Although the sixty men standing in front of Wei Zheng were all dressed as bandits, before joining the cottage, they were all the lowest military families and ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty. For them, as long as they can eat enough, let them kill the Tartars, let alone a training.

In addition, in addition to the promise of a full meal, the big boss in front of him also has half a catty of pork every day. Compared with the days when I couldn't even eat enough food before, I can call it a fairy life.

Therefore, as soon as Wei Zheng's voice fell, all kinds of answers began to sound in the training ground.

"We can accept the ...... of the big masters"

"As long as you give me meat, you will let me die immediately, and I will listen to the ...... of the big boss"

"We will do whatever the big boss says, and swear allegiance to the big boss's ......"

Compared with Wang Feng and Zhao Yun, who were satisfied with the faces next to him, Wei Zheng not only did not have a smile on his face, but showed a trace of solemnity.

Because, from the sixty people in front of him, Wei Zheng did not find any of the suzune and discipline that later generations of soldiers should have.

However, Wei Zheng also knew that what he was thinking in his heart could not be seen in these bandits in a short period of time. His immediate need now is to train a squad that can fight against the Tartars in a short period of time, and grab the food he urgently needs from the Tartars, instead of thinking about those things in the future.

After quickly suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Wei Zheng shouted in a calm tone as much as possible: "Very good......"

"In order to improve everyone's combat effectiveness, I have decided to start today, and we will be divided into two teams for training. One is the pikes, which specialize in assassination. One is the Broadsword Team, which specializes in practicing close-quarters combat. ”

"Wang Feng of the spear team is the captain of everyone, and I will train myself for the time being. Zhao Yun of the Broadsword Team was the captain, and I also trained myself. ”

"I'll give you half a pillar of incense time to think about whether to join Wang Feng's spear team or join Zhao Yun's big knife team, I hope you will make a decision immediately."
