Wang Feichen couldn't help but admonish: "Madam, if you want to organize a raid team or elite soldiers, you can't just consider the ...... of strength" He thought about the more euphemistic adjectives for a moment before continuing: "The most useless ability." ”

"Is great strength a useless ability?" Zheng Quqi asked curiously.

"It's not that it's completely useless, it's that it's not the number one advantage that generals see compared to others."

Wang Feichen wanted to explain to her that the most important thing for a soldier is obedience, self-denial, loyalty and teamwork, not just who has the most strength, who is a good soldier.

But when he thought about it, it was useless to explain to her, she was neither a soldier nor a general, and she really couldn't understand the profound truth contained in it in just two sentences.

Zheng Quqi saw that Wang Feichen wanted her to think about it again, obviously disagreeing with her selection of people with such a "casual and one-sided" idea.

It seems that this Wang Feichen and Huo Ting are really people with two personalities, obviously Wang Feichen looks more casual and free, not like a person who can correct mistakes more seriously, but in fact, he has an upright personality and can't hide what he has to say.

And Huo Ting, a middle-aged man, looks like an honest uncle, but he is a man with a city government, who knows how to take care of proportions and advance and retreat appropriately.

If you want to say which kind of person is better, I can't talk about it, for Zheng Quqi, as long as he doesn't have bad intentions, the level of ability to deal with things, and the different views on problems, he can be tolerated.

"Lieutenant Wang has a point." Zheng Quqi agreed.

Wang Feichen obviously didn't know Zheng Quqi, as soon as he heard her say this, he thought that she was moved by what he said, so he hurriedly hit the railroad while it was hot: "Then Madame might as well tell me your requirements, and let the humble post pick some favorite soldiers for you?" ”

Zheng Quqi looked at him with a pair of innocent and bright eyes, and said categorically: "I want to have a lot of strength." ”

Wang Feichen: "......"

Huo Ting listened to the conversation between the two on the side, especially when he saw Wang Feichen's face collapse at this moment, he couldn't help laughing, and his big throat tube was almost visible.

"Hahahaha, Lieutenant Wang, we all saw it at the night banquet that day, the general's wife is not an ordinary woman, she must have her own ideas when she picks people, don't mix it up, let the lady make her own decisions."

Wang Feichen was reminded by Huo Tingyi, and also remembered the general's wife he saw at the beginning of that night.

Although she was not as glamorous and jeweled as the queens, princesses, and ladies at the banquet, she was undoubtedly the most important one to be reckoned with in the final scene.

Wang Feichen was embarrassed and irritated by General Huo's laughter, and he said: "I just want to share the worries of the general's wife, not to interfere with her decision." ”

At this time, Zheng Quqi also helped: "General Huo's words are exaggerated, and Lieutenant Wang obviously understands better than me when he uses soldiers, and he will choose it for me, and I am more at ease than myself." ”

Zheng Quqi opened his mouth, Huo Ting naturally had to take care of her face, and no longer "recruited black" Wang Feichen, and Wang Feichen also listened to Huo Ting's words.

"If Madame insists on finding someone with great strength, Feichen thinks that although Chang Shubing has some advantages, it does not mean that others are not suitable, so it is better for Feichen to select the three hundred with the greatest strength in the army for the general's wife."

Wang Feichen's initiative to ask for help made Zheng Quqi happy.

And this good thing?

Her eyes lit up immediately, but she added: "Of course it's good, but Lieutenant Wang had better hurry up, can you elect 300 people in the general election at noon?" ”

Wang Feichen said confidently: "Please rest assured, Madame, there is no problem." ”

Wang Feichen said that, he went down to the school ground, he summoned all the officers and soldiers in training, he seemed to have an idea in his heart in a short period of time, without any delay, let the gathered 2,000 soldiers form a square formation of ten people, and then six or six rows, neatly listed.

Then, he asked for dozens of exercise equipment to be brought.

"The general's wife came today to select people for the six countries to test the troops, but whoever can be selected will be doubled, and there will be meat for food."

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers were boiling, and their eyes were green with excitement.

"Lieutenant, how can I be chosen?"

"Next, the official will come to do a test, but whoever can achieve the upper lift will be selected."

Zheng Quqi watched this scene above, and couldn't help but sigh that these officials had ways to mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers, such as adding money and meat, so that these soldiers who were trained to sweat can sweep away their tired expressions and boost their morale in an instant.

"Is the food poorly fed by the soldiers?" Zheng Quqi asked Huo Ting.

I thought that only gold, silver bounties, and promotions could make these soldiers strive for the top, but I didn't expect that eating meat could also be counted as one.

Huo Ting shook his head and sighed for a long time: "It's not bad, compared to the garrison at the border gate, Lao Huo thinks it's good that they can eat enough, isn't it?" ”

Zheng Quqi saw the deep meaning in Huo Ting's eyes when he said this, and it seemed that he also knew that King Ye had cut off the grain of the Changtaming Slope camp.

"Is it a good thing to be able to eat a full meal these days? It may be so in Ye country, but it shouldn't be so bleak. She said lightly.

"yes, but I can't help it."

Zheng Quqi was not affected by him, and there was a light in her eyes and said: "There will always be a way." ”

Huo Ting looked at Zheng Quqi at this time, his face was gratified.

"Madame said so, then Lao Huo also believed Madame. We people are useless, we have to rely on you young people, I have supported it for so long, that is, I have tried to make these miscellaneous soldiers who are despised by the powerful also have the strength to fight, so that there will be no chaos, the regular army is occupied by private power, and even the stragglers and miscellaneous generals are unbearable. ”

When Zheng Quqi heard this, he looked at him with a sly look.

"General Huo, ...... you secretly training the standing soldiers and guards?"

Huo Ting's expression was extremely serious at this time: "General's wife, Lao Huo knows that on the occasion of the night banquet, the group led by Empress Ye behaved obediently and arrogantly, leaving you isolated and helpless, and we people would only be turtles with shrunken heads, and even had to bare faces and break the back to curry favor with the envoys of other countries, you will definitely feel very disappointed." ”

Zheng Quqi didn't know how to answer for a while.

He was quite pertinent in his assessment of the matter.

"Lao Huo is a rough man, he doesn't have any great resource, even if I came forward at the time, I couldn't make any waves, but it would affect the family afterwards, but I always thought that the whole country couldn't do it, there were always some things that our Lao Huo could do."

Huo Ting smiled bitterly, his eyes were gloomy and self-deprecating: "Mrs. General, do you think that my old Huo is cowardly and timid, and he has no prospects?" Although he is a general, he can't win the enemy army, and he can't even carry a fart in front of the enemy country. ”

After Zheng Quqi listened quietly, he said "Huh" and said, "It turns out that General Huo was also there at the night banquet at that time." ”

Huoting: "...... Madam, can you pick and choose the key points to listen to?"

Zheng Quqi said again: "So, you are secretly training these soldiers, thinking that one day they will also be able to come in handy, right?" ”

"Look, General."

Zheng Quqi pointed to the school field below, and then said, "Are these soldiers like young seedlings below cultivated by the general?" In the future, if one day they can grow into towering trees, you can also have a clear conscience, general. ”

After hearing this, Huo Ting wanted to laugh, but his eyes turned red first.

He shook his head: "I'm incompetent, useless, just an old waste, I don't deserve to have a clear conscience." ”

Seeing that he was so excited, Zheng Quqi persuaded: "General Huo, I came here today to select the secret team to participate in the Six Nations test the day after tomorrow, you can't share the heaviness in your heart if you complain to me, it's better for you to hand over your own strength for the rise of Ye from today onwards, some things are not afraid of being late, but I am afraid that it will be too late, you are still in time, it is too early to say those discouraged words." ”

As soon as Huo Ting heard this, he immediately pinched the corners of his clothes and wiped the old tears at the end of his eyes, and looked determined: "What the general's wife said is very true, my old Huo will leave the words here today, and I will definitely advance and retreat with His Royal Highness the Prince in the future, please Mrs. will definitely bring the intention of humility to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zheng Quqi was stunned by his sudden big turn, but with a little brain, she understood what was going on.

She smiled and said, "General Huo really knows how to show loyalty." ”

dared him to talk so much to her, just to use her as a springboard to catch the big ship of His Royal Highness the Prince.

This Huo Ting is really cunning and cunning, think about Wang Feichen, who only knows how to do practical things, and then look at his "good singing and writing", if it is someone else who comes today, it is estimated that when Wang Feichen is busy with this meal, he finds that people have long been close to General Huo, and he will get the credit of running errands.

"My old Huo used to not be with Empress Ye, and was often treated coldly and xenophobic by his henchmen, so he couldn't speak a lot of times, but now that His Royal Highness the Prince has returned, not only has the country of Ye been saved, but people like me who are loyal to the country have also dared to come forward." He said it very emotionally, and he almost burst into tears.

Zheng Quqi couldn't fight his emotions in place, so he could only be silent for a while, and said: "General Huo, Your Highness actually doesn't like noisy and exaggerated people, he prefers subordinates who are simply shocked...... Me too. ”

Huo Ting's expression immediately froze, obviously understanding what Zheng Quqi meant.

Being exposed on the spot, Huo Ting's face quickly flashed a touch of discomfort, he clenched his fists and cleared his throat, but soon returned to normal, he said seriously: "Old Huo, thank Mrs. for mentioning it." ”

This Huo Ting is really a very "interesting" person, chatting with him for a while, he not only cleared up the relationship with the Ye Hou faction, but also expressed his merit and loyalty to His Royal Highness the Prince, and also planned to show affection to her, so that she could empathize with him, and then speak for him in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.

In order to climb into this relationship, he simply started from the first step she came into his eyes, step by step, layer by layer.

Zheng Quqi slandered, this kind of person must be very mixed in the officialdom, he is exquisite on all sides and makes friends on all sides, but it's a pity why didn't he go to be a civil official with intrigue, and he came to be a military attaché?

Huo Ting had already received Zheng Quqi's "warning", and he didn't dare to continue the previous topic, so he got back to the point with her: "Madam, please see, the lieutenant asked someone to bring the lifting stone for the usual training. ”

"Lifting stones?"

Not to mention, the appearance of those "lifting stones" looks a little familiar, and if you look closely, Zheng Quqi's eyes widened, isn't this the barbell used by weightlifters?

It's just that the kind she has seen is made of stainless steel rods and rubber-coated iron, while Ye Guo's "lifting stones" is made of a wooden stick with stone circles strung at both ends, which looks like that.

"This stone lift is divided into 120 pounds of small lifts, 180 pounds of medium lifts, and about 240 pounds of large lifts.

Zheng Quqi couldn't help but say when he heard the weight: "This big move is really amazing, I think they basically choose small moves and medium lifts, and they have eliminated nearly half of them in this way?" ”

"Not everyone in the army has strong arm and back strength, and most of the pawns are practicing foot strength and formation."

"I have to say that Wang Feichen's selection method is fast and simple."

Seeing that she looked at Lieutenant Wang differently, Huo Ting thought carefully and hurriedly said: "This method of lifting stones is what Lao Huo learned from books, and it is said that the soldiers of the Beiyuan Kingdom used this method to exercise the strength of their arms and back, and it was very effective. ”

When Zheng Quqi heard that Huo Ting wanted to take credit again, he thought he couldn't understand: "Is it?" ”

Zheng Quqi saw that these hot-blooded teenagers or young people took turns to lift stones, thinking that the strength was small, so they chose to weight the small lift with fewer stones, and some of them were full of confidence in themselves and chose the middle lift, she looked around, but she did not choose the big lift.

But all those who have passed the small and medium lifts have been arranged to line up in a small number of teams on the side, Zheng Quqi took a rough look, there should have been more than 100 people here.

Most of them are tall and have solid muscles, and at a glance they know that they usually exercise less, eat a lot, and grow stronger.

"Can this make up three hundred?"

"Naturally, Mrs. General, don't worry, even if you don't have enough here, we will find you all the numbers in other places." Hotin patted his chest and reassured.

"Huh? General Huo, who is that person? ”

Zheng Quqi waited for so long, and finally saw a soldier walk in front of Daju, only to see him look disdainful, pick up his sleeves, and pull up at the barbell, and then he bent his legs apart, and then lifted it hard to the shoulder, the process looked relatively easy, enough to prove that this person's strength is definitely far more than that.

When Huo Ting saw it, he was not surprised, but frowned: "That person...... It's a thorn, he's from the Liu family. ”

"The Liu family?"

"That's right, I heard that the Duke of Liu Guo has two unsuccessful descendants, one is Liu Fengmian, who only understands Fenghua Xueyue and befriending idle people, etc., and the other is this Liu Chai Ji, who reads well and doesn't read, and runs to be a soldier, although he has the background of the Liu family, but he is short-tempered and does not listen to orders at all, such a character is estimated to be only a low-class soldier for the rest of his life."

"But he has a lot of strength." Zheng Quqi couldn't help but sigh. (End of chapter)
