Chapter 186: Training

Ten miles away from the northwest of Linzi City, next to the downstream of the water, there is a vast palace complex, built on a rammed earth platform like a hill.

This is the largest rammed earth pedestal in the palace building of Qi State, the palace building on the pedestal, majestic and magnificent, tall and majestic, the surrounding of the main hall, the ancient trees are towering, the green trees are shady, the plane trees are planted everywhere, this palace is also named because of the plane trees that can be seen everywhere, it is called the Wutai Palace.

"Notes on the Book of Water" contains: "Chu envoys are hired by Qi, and the king of Qi is on the Wutai." This magnificent Wutai Palace is the place where King Qi was specially used to receive important foreign guests outside the city.

Under the foundation of Wutai Palace, surrounded by Wutai Palace, there are one after another aristocratic manors, which are the properties of the nobles in Linzi City, some manors are used for vacation, some are used to raise guests, but most of the manors are empty on weekdays.

At dusk in the West Mountain, the sky was dark, Lu Yunzhou took his five hundred soldiers, under the order of Meng Fu, carried his bags, walked quickly, and quietly crossed Niu Mountain at the speed of a rapid march, and rushed on foot to the outside of the Qi family manor located one mile away on the south side of Wutai Palace.

Lu Yunzhou raised his eyes and looked around, looking at the situation near the Qi family manor, and nodded with satisfaction, this neighborhood is vast and sparsely populated, and each manor is very far apart, there will be almost no pedestrians passing by, and the courtyard wall of the Qi family manor is also very high, and you can't see the situation inside, which can be said to be the most ideal place for military training!

After all, even if this mission does not involve war, it needs to be kept strictly secret.

Along the way, Lu Yunzhou deliberately detoured, marched in the deserted wilderness, avoided places with many pedestrians, and avoided their actions from attracting the attention of passers-by.

If the general does not know how to conceal the march, then tactics such as dividing troops, sneak attacks, and ambushes will not be able to be used.

Along the way, Lu Yunzhou benefited a lot under the guidance of Meng Fu.

And Lu Yunzhou's suggestion to paint the soldiers' clothes, armor, helmets, and weapons with camouflage green paint was also greatly appreciated by Meng Fu.

This Qi family manor is idle on weekdays, and only a few servants work in it to keep the manor tidy.

And Lu Yunzhou planned to train with his 500 soldiers in this manor in the few days before the mission to cultivate tacit understanding.

The reason why he didn't choose the location of the training was in the barracks was because Lu Yunzhou wanted to use some training methods from modern times, and he didn't want to be known for the time being.

When Lu Yunzhou arrived with the soldiers, the manor had already been cleaned up, and all kinds of ingredients had been delivered one after another, all of which he had already arranged with someone yesterday.

Lan Shiqi took his servants to greet the arrival of Lu Yunzhou and the others at the gate of the manor.

"Childe!"

As soon as Lan Shiqi saw Lu Yunzhou, he was about to step forward and salute, but was pulled by Lu Yunzhou.

"Brother Lan, during this time, I plan to sleep in the camp tent with the soldiers, so I won't live in the house."

Of course, there are buildings in the Qi family's manor, but Lu Yunzhou naturally can't let his soldiers camp in the open air and endure hardships, and go to live in a comfortable place by himself.

"Yes, Childe!" Although Lan Shiqi didn't understand, he still obeyed Lu Yunzhou's arrangement.

And the soldiers behind Lu Yunzhou looked at the magnificent gate and tall outer wall of the Qi family manor in front of them with a curious expression.

Lu Yunzhou followed the path in his memory, led the soldiers through the gardens and residential areas, and came to the largest racecourse in the depths of the manor.

The racecourse is very large, and after the northern area is used for camping, the large area vacated in the south can also be used for military training, and there are stables near the racecourse, which have many horses for soldiers to practice.

The soldiers marched all the way, originally very tired, but seeing a noble son like Lu Yunzhou, who not only ran more than 20 miles with them in a rapid march, but still participated tirelessly at this moment, he immediately felt admired, and his spirit was hundredfold, and he began to work in full swing, and he didn't feel hard at all.

Lu Yunzhou and Meng Fu's commander's tent was set up in the center of all the tents, and the 500 soldiers were divided into three groups, distributed in a triangle on the three corners around the commander's tent, and the distance between each group of tents was close, which not only echoed each other, but also was independent, so that it was convenient and flexible to deal with different emergencies.

Soldiers patrolled the tent day and night, and except for the fact that no fortifications were dug in the racecourse, everything simulated a real battlefield.

After everything had been implemented, Lu Yunzhou was patrolling around the situation in this simulated camp, and at the same time asked Lan Shiqi to send all the prepared ingredients to all parts of the camp, and began to bury the pot to make rice, and invited the soldiers to eat a sumptuous dinner of big fish and meat to replenish the physical energy consumed before.

These soldiers are used to eating dry military food on weekdays, and it is already a blessing for them to be full, and they have never seen so much meat in the meal, and immediately cheered, and with Lu Yunzhou's back and forth inspection, the soldiers kept taking the initiative to salute him, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

After inspecting the camp for a while, Lu Yunzhou invited Meng Fu to his camp tent, and while having dinner, he began to discuss how to train the soldiers.

"Brother Meng, my thoughts are probably like this, what do you think?"

Lu Yunzhou racked his brains to recall, and then said all the methods and concepts he had learned from watching TV series, movies, and novels in his previous life, and some methods and concepts of training soldiers in modern troops like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and then looked expectantly at Meng Fu, a professional general of this era, and waited for his professional comments.

Meng Fu nodded again and again, thoughtful: "Hmm...... Weight-bearing cross-country march, queue stance, emergency assembly...... Well, these ideas are very good! Armed swimming, obstacle climbing, rock climbing, and wilderness camouflage are also very useful...... Protection from the sun is necessary...... Oh, you saw it from a fragment of the ancient art of war? These are all good, but there are a lot of training programs and limited time, so we still need to think about the specific schedule and the amount of training......"

Lu Yunzhou discussed with Meng Fu, set the daily training program, and felt that he had gained a lot.

Meng Fu is indeed worthy of being a famous general, and quickly extracted effective information from the fragmented training items proposed by Lu Yunzhou and supplemented it to the training content of this era.

Fortunately, these 500 soldiers are not a blank sheet of paper, but elite soldiers who have undergone rigorous training, and they have mastered many skills that need to be mastered on the battlefield of cold weapons, and they have already mastered them very skillfully, so they can skip many training items that must be mastered on the battlefield of cold weapons, and spend more time training these new items to improve the quality of soldiers in an all-round way.
