Although Yang Huaiyu was full of fighting spirit and wanted to start training immediately, but the time did not allow it, after all, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, Zhao Yan also had to move to the city to live for half a month, and training nearly two hundred people also needed a certain venue, and he definitely couldn't do it in this courtyard, so while making the sand table, Zhao Yan had already asked people to prepare the venue.

"Brother Huaiyu, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, will you go back today or tomorrow?" Zhao Yan asked Yang Huaiyu beside him with a smile, now they are on their way to the training ground, this training ground was found by Lao Fu, and it is less than five miles away from the courtyard, and it can be reached quickly by walking.

Yang Huaiyu's family members all live in the Yang family's Tianbo Mansion, and usually go back to visit his wife and children every half a month, and when he heard Zhao Yan ask about his New Year, he also replied with a smile: "Let's go back tomorrow, anyway, it's only twenty-nine today, and there is nothing at home, I'll take a look at the training venue for a while, if there is a problem, you can also put it forward for people to modify." ”

Zhao Yan and Yang Huaiyu were talking, and soon came to a large area of the highland, although it is now winter, but this highland is in full swing, many hired villagers are either carrying soil or lifting beams, are nervously building houses and walls, and there are several foreman-like people are directing around, and the scene is a busy scene.

"Brother Huaiyu, please see, this highland occupies a large area, and it is not far from the other courtyard, which can just be used as a training ground, and now you only need to build a house and a wall here." Zhao Yan smiled and pointed to the busy crowd and asked, this place was found by Lao Fu himself. It is very in line with Zhao Yan's requirements.

However, Yang Huaiyu looked at the busy venue, but couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "King Jun, with such a cold season now, I'm afraid it's not suitable for building a house, right?" In particular, the ground is very solid, and it is not easy to lay a foundation. ”

Hearing Yang Huaiyu's words, Zhao Yan laughed and said: "Brother Huaiyu doesn't know, the reason why I chose this place as a training ground, in addition to the fact that it is not far from the other courtyard, the most important thing is that this was originally a big temple, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the war. The bricks and slabs on the ground were taken home by the villagers to build houses. However, the foundation is very well preserved and still very strong, so I just need to build a house on top of the original foundation. ”

"I see, if only you need to build a house on the ground. That's a lot simpler. It is estimated that the Lantern Festival has passed. The house can be built and you can start training! Yang Huaiyu was also overjoyed when he heard this, and now he only wanted to make the preliminary preparations quickly. Then start training right away.

However, Zhao Yan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Brother Huaiyu, don't be too anxious, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, although these villagers are anxious to earn wages, but they also have to go home for the New Year, so after finishing work today, they will not go to work until the fifth day of the new year, and the Lantern Festival will also stop work for two days, so I estimate that it will not be completed until about January 20 at the earliest." ”

Yang Huaiyu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, he only thought that he was going home for the New Year, but he didn't expect that these villagers would also celebrate the New Year, but the twentieth day of the first month was not too late, just so he could take advantage of the time to build the site to study the training plan for those people, especially those people are fat, and the general training method is not applicable to them.

Next, Zhao Yan took Yang Huaiyu to visit the training ground under construction, pointing out the barracks, canteens, training grounds and other places, and Yang Huaiyu also proposed some suggestions for future training. However, after Zhao Yan finished introducing this place, he suddenly asked with a mysterious smile: "Brother Huaiyu, can you guess what kind of temple this temple at our feet is?" ”

"Huh?" Yang Huaiyu was stunned when he heard Zhao Yan's question, he didn't expect Zhao Yan to ask such a boring question, but he still thought about it and replied, "I'm afraid it's just an ordinary Buddhist temple, after all, since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism has flourished in the Central Plains, and this temple seems to be not small in scale, and it is not far from Kaifeng City, it is estimated that it is a Buddhist temple." ”

"Hahahaha~" Hearing Yang Huaiyu's answer, Zhao Yan laughed loudly, and after a while he shook his head and said, "Brother Huaiyu guessed wrong this time, this temple under our feet is not ordinary, this was originally the Sun Bin Temple dedicated to the war ** everyone." ”

"Sun Bin Temple?" Yang Huaiyu was stunned again when he heard this, and then he thought of one thing, and said eagerly, "If I remember correctly, the battle of Guiling where Sun Bin captured Pang Juan was born near Kaifeng City, could it be that this temple was built to commemorate Sun Bin?" ”

"Haha, yes, the battle of Guiling that year, was born not far north of Kaifeng City, it is said that Sun Bin once passed by this highland, and also set up camp for a few days, and the people who built this temple are not simple, I am afraid that Brother Huaiyu will be even happier after hearing it!" Zhao Yan laughed again at this time, after he heard about the abandoned Sun Bin Temple from Lao Fu, he immediately decided to put the training location here, because this place was simply prepared for the future military academy of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Oh, who built this temple for Sun Bin?" Yang Huaiyu heard this with some excitement, Sun Bin is a famous master of the art of war in history, and legend has it that Sun Bin wrote the art of war behind it, and if he can train soldiers in his temple, it is also a beautiful talk to spread it.

"Hehe, although this temple is used to worship Sun Bin, but it was built in the Tang Dynasty, and according to the county records, the first general Li Jing in the early Tang Dynasty passed by after destroying the Turks, I heard that this was once Sun Bin's garrison, and I was very interested at the time, so I took out a part of the spoils from the Turks, and sold it for money to build this Sun Bin Temple, which was later expanded several times, but unfortunately at the end of the Tang Dynasty, this Sun Bin Temple with good incense was also destroyed in the war." When Zhao Yan talked about it at the end, he couldn't help but sigh a little, but the temple of a generation of military masters was destroyed in the war, which is also a kind of irony in a way.

However, Yang Huaiyu heard that this Sun Bin Temple was actually built by Li Jing, and it was built with the spoils brought by the destruction of the Turks, which made him even more surprised and happy, but he didn't expect this little-known temple to be related to the art of war of two generations, no wonder the king of the county will choose to train soldiers here, if he can train a group of generals here, then in the future, wouldn't it be comparable to Sun Bin and Li Jing?

Seeing the surprised expression on Yang Huaiyu's face, Zhao Yan laughed secretly in his heart, originally he just wanted Yang Huaiyu to help him deal with the fat people who lost weight, but he didn't expect that his inadvertent flash of aura made Zhao Yan have a deeper plan, maybe he could take advantage of this opportunity to help the Great Song Dynasty open a military academy, with Yang Huaiyu's qualifications, there is absolutely no problem to be a military instructor, and those who need to lose weight are either from Jiangmen, or they are from the royal family, and those from the royal family forget it, But if those who are from the generals can produce one or two talents, then on this basis, the military education of the Great Song Dynasty can be continued, and the Great Song Dynasty will no longer worry about the problem of no generals in the army in the future.

Although Zhao Yan already had the idea of establishing a military academy in his heart, he didn't tell anyone about it, and even Yang Huaiyu just had the idea of cultivating talents for Jiangmen and thus sharing the burden for his father, and he didn't know Zhao Yan's plan for the military academy at all.

The reason why Zhao Yan is so secretive is mainly due to two considerations, the first is that the idea of this military school is very immature, and he didn't know much about the military school in his previous life, so he is not sure if he can make achievements? The second is that his identity is too sensitive, and if people know that he is meddling in the military, it is likely to attract a siege by the civilian clique.

It is precisely in consideration of the above that Zhao Yan decided to keep this matter a secret for the time being, anyway, those who lost weight were sent by others on their own initiative, and they were taught military under the banner of weight loss, even if it was known in the future, they would only think that he was messing around, after all, who would believe that the more than 100 big fat men would become the generals of the Great Song Dynasty in the future? Taking a step back, even if someone knows his true intentions, he can deny it, anyway, with his identity, as long as he doesn't admit it, others can't do anything about him.

The next morning, Zhao Yan also got up early, among which Lao Fu and they prepared things yesterday, and then after breakfast, Zhao Yan took the family back to the county king's mansion in Kaifeng City, the headlights in front of the mansion have not been built, but today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, all the craftsmen have also gone home on vacation, leaving only a lonely shelf there, and will continue to build until the fifth day of the new year.

However, Zhao Yan didn't stay long in the county palace, because according to the rules, he wanted to enter the palace on the afternoon of the thirtieth day to pay New Year's greetings to Zhao Shu and the Empress Dowager Gao, and by the way, he had a reunion dinner, and not only did he have to go, Cao Ying and Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang all had to go, but as a prince who had already married, Zhao Yan could return to his home to keep vigil after eating the reunion dinner. In addition, Zhao Yan's fourth brother Zhao Yan was also brought to the palace together, but he needed to accompany Zhao Shu in the palace to keep vigil together, after all, he was still a child.

Zhao Yan also knew this rule, and he had already planned it, the sand table in Tokyo City that he and Yang Huaiyu made before happened to take this opportunity to send it to the palace, and it is estimated that Zhao Shu will definitely be very happy after knowing the purpose of the sand table. In addition, Zhao Yan is also thinking about whether he wants to tell Zhao Shu about his plan to serve the military school? (To be continued!)
