The night passed quickly.

Cheng Pu stayed by Sun Ce's side and didn't close his eyes almost all night. He didn't know what Sun Ce was thinking, but he believed Ao Lie's words, and what Sun Ce was thinking about now must be very important. At this point, there is no need for Ao Lie to deceive himself.

At night, there were several teams of people and horses patrolling the night in the Youzhou camp quietly passing by. Even in the middle of the night, these soldiers on the night patrol were in good spirits, their military appearance was neat, and everything seemed to be in order. Through these soldiers, Cheng Pu deduced that Ao Lie was not only brave in martial arts, but also well-versed in the way of military governance. This also made Cheng Pu's impression of Ao Lie climb to a new level.

When the sky was dark, the soldiers in the Youzhou Army camp started a new day, shouting majestic and powerful slogans and starting their morning exercises. This is also the military rule set by Ao Lie, in Ao Lie's words, the plan of the day lies in the morning, and the early morning is the most suitable time for practice.

The Youzhou army drilled for an hour, and then returned to the barracks to have breakfast. Several sergeants held two huge food plates and brought breakfast to Cheng Pu and the others. The breakfast of the military career is very simple, two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge per person. Cheng Pu took the breakfast handed by the soldier, and he was surprised to find that there were a few shredded meat in the porridge.

Holding a sergeant who was delivering food, Cheng Pu asked curiously, "This little brother, are these porridges specially prepared for my eldest son?" How can there be shredded meat? ”

The sergeant glanced at Sun Ce, who was still lying on the ground, shook his head and said, "No, these porridges were originally like this. In the army, everyone's diet is the same, even my hussar general is no exception, this is the rule set by my general. As for this porridge, it is the food standard set by my general a long time ago. The general said that the Son of Heaven is not short of hungry soldiers, so our Youzhou army, especially our soldiers in Beiping, can eat meat every day. ”

Hearing the soldier's story, Cheng Pu understood. It is no wonder that the Youzhou Army has a reputation as an invincible and invincible iron army, in addition to the martial courage and wisdom of commanders Liu Yu and Ao Lie, the physical fitness of the soldiers is also a major factor. Allowing his subordinate soldiers to eat meat every day is not something that any prince can do, and in the turbulent era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it is not easy to get even a large amount of food, let alone meat. Ao Lie also relied on the fertile land of Youzhou to encourage the people under his rule to work hard, and only collected a small amount of taxes, coupled with the financial support of Wantong Commercial Bank, so that the soldiers could have meat to eat every day.

It is a very ordinary thing to let the sergeants have meat to eat, but Cheng Puzhi said that there are too many things involved. The character of a monarch is a prerequisite, and only a monarch who loves his soldiers like a son will do so; Secondly, it was also a great test of the monarch's financial strength, and it was a large expense to supply the meat of his subordinates for a long time; Thirdly, from a military point of view, eating meat will definitely make the soldiers physically stronger, and the chances of victory in war will be greater; The last and most important point is that this practice is undoubtedly an extremely clever but very simple way of domination, which can invisibly enhance the sense of belonging of the soldiers and make them loyal.

With a simple bowl of meat porridge, Cheng Pu saw so many doorways, this was just what he saw, what about those he didn't see? This little overlord is really not simple! Cheng Pu sighed in his heart.

"How many people, have you eaten? If we eat well, we will clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and we will go on the expedition in a while. Another sergeant who delivered the meal asked.

"Expedition? Where to go? Cheng Pu asked suspiciously. He had just come from Jiangdong, and he didn't know much about the war in Youzhou.

Several sergeants who delivered the meal glanced at each other, and one of the leaders said, "I'm sorry, we can't say it without the order of the general of our family." This is also the military rule set by Ao Lie, all actions are under command, and military secrets are highly maintained. These few are just miscellaneous soldiers who deliver food, and they are also very well executed.

Woowoo woo –

A hurried horn sounded, which was Ao Lie's order for the whole army to assemble.

When a few miscellaneous soldiers who delivered food heard this series of horns, they didn't care about putting away the dishes and chopsticks, and ran towards the place where the horn sounded, while sorting out the clothes and armor on their bodies, and really did the order and prohibition.

Looking at the figure of several miscellaneous soldiers running away quickly, Cheng Pu once again sighed that Ao Lie's army was well managed, and even the miscellaneous soldiers who delivered food were much more sophisticated than those county soldiers in the local area.

Half an hour later, the entire Youzhou battalion rose up, all the soldiers lined up in echelons in an orderly manner, and a group of sergeants marched towards the north with high morale and neat lines.

Soon, the Chinese army column where Ao Lie was located came over. Ao Lie rode on the pure white Shining Night Snow Dragon Pony, dressed in a golden Dragon Roaring Sky Armor, carrying the Chixiao Sword at his waist, and holding the Overlord Spear in his hand, walking at the forefront of the team. Ma Chao and Xu Chu followed Ao Lie left and right; Dian Wei, who had a majestic face, walked on foot beside Ao Lie's horse's head, holding the reins of the snow dragon horse in the night; The rest of the generals spread out behind Ao Lie in a fan shape, and the stars hesitated to guard Ao Lie in the middle. Among the generals, only the tiger general Tai Shi Ci was missing, and at this moment, Tai Shi Ci had already led 3,000 cavalry to be the pioneer of the way.

Cheng Pu hurriedly tidied up his clothes and armor, stood up respectfully with a dozen followers, and stood in place with his head bowed. This is the etiquette that lower-level officials in the Han Dynasty should have when they meet higher-level officials.

Ao Lie was worried about the battle situation between Feiru and Yuyang, and he had no intention of staying longer, so he nodded slightly to Cheng Pu, even if he had said hello, and then rode his horse and passed by Cheng Pu and the others.

Suddenly, a majestic and powerful voice rang out: "Wait, where are you going?" This is the voice of Sun Ce.

Cheng Pu turned his head in surprise and whispered, "Eldest son, have you woken up?" ”

Sun Ce didn't seem to hear Cheng Pu's question, looked straight at Ao Lie, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Ao Lie turned his head, looked at Sun Ce, stretched out his hand and lifted the dragon mask covering his face, exposed his entire face, and said with a smile: "It's been more than five hours, have you ever thought clearly and thought clearly?" ”

Sun Ce first nodded, then shook his head again, but did not speak.

It turned out that in yesterday's battle, not only Ao Lie broke through his own critical point, but even Sun Ce was on the verge of breaking through. Regarding the subtle changes in Sun Ce's strength, Ao Lie was naturally very clear, he knew that Sun Ce was facing a huge opportunity at that time, and if he could understand it, his strength would definitely improve a lot. However, Sun Ce is a high-minded and arrogant person by nature, and the first defeat in his life will inevitably have a certain impact on him, especially under Ao Lie, who is also known as the little overlord. This subverts Sun Ce's long-standing concept, and it is easy for Sun Ce to have psychological barriers, and there are barriers that are difficult to break when he breaks through his perception. If Sun Ce successfully survives this hurdle, his strength will increase greatly; On the contrary, if he can't survive this level, the martial arts will not advance but retreat. But now it seems that the result is not bad.

Ao Lie sighed, and then said with some seriousness: "As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat." The truth of human nature is as simple as that. Good travelers drown, and those who drown are often swimmers. It's good to have an obsession in your heart, but don't get too attached to it. These words also apply to your strange set of exercises. ”

Ao Lie and Sun Ce are about the same age, but this remark is serious, similar to the words of the elders educating the juniors, but it did not arouse the disgust of anyone present, it seems that all this is taken for granted, and it should be like this. Including Cheng Pu, the eldest and almost forty years old, they all listened carefully, carefully savoring every word between the lines of Ao Lie's words.

After saying this, Ao Lie stopped and rode his horse on a journey.

Sun Ce muttered: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat" After repeating it a few times, Sun Ce seemed to have figured out something, and then sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. At this moment, Sun Ce has faded away from the arrogance of the world, like a jade that has returned to its true nature after washing away the lead, falling into a temporary silence, and can be carved into perfect jade at any time. And if Ao Lieshui can carry a boat and capsize a boat, it is like the sharpest carving knife in the world, helping Sun Ce to carry out the most transformation.

When Ao Lie led the army dozens of miles away, Sun Ce, who was sitting cross-legged in the open space of the Youzhou camp, suddenly opened his eyes. The light in his eyes flickered, making people dare not look directly.

Cheng Pu, who had been waiting beside him, immediately felt the change in Sun Ce, although it was not as obvious as Ao Lie's change yesterday, but Cheng Pu still felt it clearly. Sun Ce can be said to have grown up watching Cheng Pu, and he can't hide all the changes in Sun Ce from Cheng Pu's eyes.

"Eldest son, you're awake." Cheng Pusheng asked.

Sun Ce smiled and nodded, and asked in a tone that was many times gentler than before, "Uncle Cheng, where did Ao Hu go?" ”

Cheng Pu shook his head and smiled: "Ao Hussar has a good way to control the army, and the army is strictly organized, and the sergeants under his command refuse to tell where they went, but when they saw that they were marching north, they must have gone to Yuyang to fight against the rebellious Zhang Ju." "In terms of force, Cheng Pu is really not in the Three Kingdoms where fierce generals gather, but if you want to talk about marching and fighting, Cheng Pu is a good hand, otherwise he will not be second only to Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, in the future Eastern Wu military, so he guessed Ao Lie's movements at once.

Sun Ce nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's chase to Yuyang." ”

Cheng Pu originally thought that after this setback and epiphany, Sun Ce had learned to put away his exposed edge, and speaking in a very rare gentle tone just now was the proof, but Cheng Pu never expected that the first thing Sun Ce did when he woke up was still to find Ao Lie! opened his mouth, Cheng Pugang wanted to organize language persuasion to persuade Sun Ce, but was stopped by Sun Ce reaching out.

With a soft smile on his face, Sun Ce said: "Uncle Cheng, don't worry, we are not going to find trouble with Ao who this time, but, hehe, when the time comes, you will know that you have done a great favor, and this love will always have to be repaid." ”

After hearing Sun Ce's words, Cheng Pu secretly relieved himself, no matter what Sun Ce went to find Ao Lie for, as long as he didn't make trouble, Cheng Pu would let Sun Ce go.
