Chapter 45: The Beginning
Liu Bei's military exercises, a total of twice a year.
Once in the spring, once in the fall.
In the last spring drill, Kou Feng was in the limelight, and this autumn drill, Zhang Fei was out of the limelight.
For no other reason, Zhang Fei really commanded a group of sergeants who looked like peasants with various weapons in the drill code, and defeated the Bai Yu soldiers commanded by Wei Yan.
Although Wei Yan was very unconvinced, he claimed that as long as he gave himself a little more time, he would definitely be able to turn defeat into victory.
The reason is that he has already killed near Zhang Fei's Chinese army, and once he breaks the Chinese army, he will be able to win.
And all the generals present did not believe this.
Let's not talk about whether Wei Yan can defeat Zhang Fei in the Chinese army, let's just say that the Bai Yu soldiers led by Wei Yan have all been "killed" thirty percent, and nearly forty percent of the "wounded and unable to fight", leaving only the fifty commandos led by him, as well as some stragglers on the edge of the battlefield.
Even if Wei Yan really defeated Zhang Fei, as long as he didn't kill Zhang Fei on the spot and give Zhang Fei a chance to retreat, then when Zhang Fei slowed down and re-commanded the military formation, Wei Yan, the fifty people who were deeply trapped in the Chinese army, would definitely die.
This competition, to a certain extent, also proves how difficult it was for Guan Yu to kill Yan Liang on the White Horse.
The battles in these years are not like those written in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", before the war, the main generals fight each other alone, and whoever wins will rush to the soldiers...... No one did this back in the Spring and Autumn period.
In today's battles, most of the generals command the soldiers, and unless it is a last resort, the main general will not personally go out to fight alone.
During this period of time, the two armies clearly recorded in the history books were singled out in front of the battle, and it seems that only Lu Bu singled out Guo Yan.
And compared to Zhang Fei, the current Wei Yan is still a little immature, and he is also competitive.
As for Zhang Fei, he won the battle, and it was quite easy.
Only one percent of one's own "killed" and two percent "wounded", but because of the particularity of the Mandarin Duck Formation, the whole team can be combined to fight, so it has not lost its combat effectiveness as a whole.
The reason why there are so many casualties is that, on the one hand, the soldiers' familiarity with the Mandarin Duck Array has not reached the peak, and on the other hand, because their opponents are not pirates with blood and bravery, but white soldiers.
The army guards in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were a question of who was worse than whom, and they couldn't be called soldiers, so it caused the flood of Japanese pirates.
Look at the Hongwu Yongle and Yongle dynasties, don't there be two dynasties without Japanese robbers?! There are too! But who has ever seen it erode like the Jiajing Dynasty?!
After all, they are just pirates, not well-trained troops.
Therefore, the Qi family's army, which has undergone strict training, strict military discipline, and rich rewards, can burst out with super combat effectiveness as soon as it comes up, and with an unbelievable casualty ratio, it kills the Japanese as if it were chopping melons and vegetables.
But what Zhang Fei trained was only a high-imitation "Qi Army" after all, and it was inferior to the Qi Family Army in terms of equipment, and there was no musket or tiger cannon as a big killing weapon.
However, Zhang Fei was already very satisfied, and Liu Bei was also shocked.
Wei Yan's ability Liu Bei knew, although Liu Bei also knew that now that Wei Yan and Zhang Fei were in command of the same army, Wei Yan was definitely not Zhang Fei's opponent.
But Wei Yan brought his own white soldiers...... Liu Bei subconsciously looked at Chen Dao, the first commander of the Bai Yu soldiers, but saw Chen Zhi shaking his head at him slightly.
That means that even if I am in command, this is just the result.
This made Liu Bei really surprised.
couldn't help but come to the middle of the school field, and began to talk to the soldiers in Zhang Fei's camp, and asked Zhang Fei a few more questions, probably after figuring out the principle of the Mandarin Duck Array, he left the school with laughter.
Liu Bei was very happy, because he had obtained another elite soldier, which was still stronger than his white soldier.
Zhang Fei was also very happy, because at the dinner party after the drill ceremony, Liu Bei specially allowed him to drink, and asked Zhang Fei not to get drunk and not return.
Xu Shu was also very happy, after seeing the combat effectiveness of Lieutenant General Zhang Feijun with his own eyes, he was more confident in some future plans.
Wei Yan and Zhang Xi were not very happy.
Wei Yan was still unhappy about losing to Zhang Fei.
Wei Yan didn't know too much about the inside story, he was only responsible for protecting Liu Bei and following Liu Bei's side on weekdays.
Therefore, Wei Yan only knew that Zhang Feijun used a new method to train soldiers, and this new law was presided over by a "deceitful and famous" person he recruited when he was the owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion.
He also thought that the three generals were deceived by that person's rhetoric, and he wanted to take this opportunity to let the three generals recognize the true face of that guy.
Well, now it's yourself who gets slapped in the face.
Wei Yan was unhappy, and Zhang Xi was also unhappy.
He never thought that the guard who followed Liu Bei at the beginning was actually the famous Wei Yan.
Seriously, Zhang Xi knew that Wei Yan was a generation of famous generals, and he also knew some of his bold words, and even knew that he was hacked by Luo Guanzhong...... But he really didn't know that Wei Yan was actually by Liu Bei's side now.
He also thought that the current Wei Yan was a city gate official in Xiangyang City, and he would not appear until Changbanpo.
Why did he, Wei Yan, suddenly appear here...... Can't figure it out.
In fact, Wei Yan is Liu Bei's minion, and people who don't watch "Three Kingdoms" really don't know much, because the original work and TV series of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, causing Zhang Xi to think that Wei Yan is Liu Bei who took refuge halfway, but he doesn't know that people have been following Liu Bei since he was in Runan.
This also just explains why, after Zhuge Liang's death, Wei Yan reacted so much to Zhuge Liang's appointment of Yang Yi instead of him to take charge of the army.
In terms of official position, after Zhuge Liang's death, he was the largest Wei Yan. In terms of qualifications, Wei Yan is older than Zhuge Liang when he was alive, why should Wei Yan listen to the orders of a little Yang Yi?!
Of course, Wei Yan's popularity and emotional intelligence are negative, and he Wei Yan is not conscious of this.
For example, now, Zhang Xi thought, he is a general, and he will also be the existence of the town guard in the future...... Although it was a little dirty before, it's good to repair the relationship now.
Therefore, Zhang Xi took the wine, walked up to Wei Yan, raised his glass and said with a smile, "Xi didn't know the general's name before, and he was rude to the general, so please ask the general Haihan." ”
Zhang Xi took the initiative to bow his head, and took the initiative to call Wei Yan, who was just a subordinate leader, "general", which was already an apology to Wei Yan in disguise.
But Wei Yan was good, looked at Zhang Xi, lowered his head and snorted, as if he didn't see such a person in front of him.
Zhang Xi's embarrassed and angry ...... If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat him, I really wanted to splash the wine on this anti-bone boy's face.
Well, well, Wei Yan is not an anti-bone boy...... But now Zhang Xi is more and more unpleasant to see this guy, so it's called an anti-bone boy? !
Anyway, he shouted in his heart, but he Wei Yan didn't know.
Since Wei Yan didn't give this face, Zhang Xi didn't want to take care of this goods anymore, so he turned around with a wine glass..... Farts to please their former top last time, Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong.
"Mi engaged, please drink this cup full!"
Zhang Xi and Mi Zhu had a friendship and said good things.
In the past, Zhang Xi was Mi Zhu's subordinate, and the relationship between the two was not bad, and Mi Zhu was also Zhang Xi's "old leader".
Now, Zhang Xi's status is not as good as Mi Zhu's "engaged in Zhonglang", but the difference is not big, plus now that he is under Zhang Fei's control, Mi Zhu also greeted Zhang Xi with a smile.
The two of them praised each other for a few words, and then Zhang Xi said goodbye and went to find another idol present, Zhao Zilong of the white horse and silver gun.
Zhao Yun's age is actually not young now, he is already in his thirties and forty years old, and he has grown a beard, and he does not have the feeling of a white-faced, jade-faced young man like a TV series.
But this does not affect Zhao Yun's status in Zhang Xi's mind.
A horse single-handedly went out of the encirclement, and the heroic wind was terrifying.
Moreover, Zhao Yun's personality and temper are very gentle, neither the squinting arrogance of the second master, nor the straightforwardness and irritability of the third general, Zhao Yun is not so much a military general, but more of a scribe.
Well, well, if you don't look at his burly figure, the horrible calluses with a gun in his hand, and his height of more than one meter and eight.
No matter what happened, Zhang Xi finally found a chance to talk in front of Zhao Yun, or complimented each other and chatted with each other.
Although I have met Zhao Yun a few times before, it is basically a public occasion, and it is not easy to establish a personal relationship on a public occasion.
Now it's different, Zhang Xi finally got his wish.
In these years, I met Liu Guan, Zhang Zhao, Zhuge and Xu Shu...... Zhang Xi felt as if his life was already very satisfying.
Well, well, that's it.
And just when Zhang Xi was immersed in the beautiful feeling of talking to Zhao Yun, a certain black guy held a jar of wine and grabbed Zhang Xi's neck, which woke Zhang Xi up from his sweet dream.
"It turns out that the chief is here...... Come, come, drink two more glasses! Zhang Fei dragged Zhang Xi over, and poured wine into Zhang Xi's wine glass without saying a word.
While pouring wine, he muttered, "This time, my eldest brother Xu I was drinking, you can't stop it anymore, and you can't tell me any more big truths...... It's so hungry that I'm Lao Zhang! ”
When Zhao Yun heard this, he looked at Zhang Xi in surprise, smiled, and signaled Zhang Xi to be casual.
And Zhang Xi also had no choice but to raise his glass and have a drink with this black guy.
"Okay, refreshing, the people who came out of my old Zhang army are really refreshing people...... One more drink! ”
“......”
