Chapter Twenty-Four: The Name Is Coming
Three days passed in a flash, and Liu Xun's ultimate test came as scheduled.
On this day, Liu Xun was on the edge of a small cliff, about twenty meters above the ground. He secretly buried a large amount of hay, sand and other cushioning materials in the ground. The guarantor can't die by jumping off the edge of the cliff, and he can't be crippled.
By the time all this was done, Huang Xing had already led Liu Xun's order to gather them here. Only a hundred people came up at a time, and those who came behind waited at the bottom of the mountain.
The 100 people who came up at the front stood on the edge of the cliff, all of them at a loss, looking left and right trying to find something, but unfortunately it was all in vain. After all, Liu Xun thought of a bad move that they could figure out as rough people.
Just when they were puzzled, Liu Xun's voice sounded without the slightest emotion: "Don't talk to each other, now listen to my orders, line up, one zhang apart, after the lineup, I count to three, and you will all jump down for me." ”
Hearing this, everyone was immediately frightened, although they have no culture, they still have common sense in life. This cliff is a few feet high to the ground, and even if you don't die, you will be crippled if you jump like this.
As for the large amount of cushioning material buried in the ground, they did not know in advance. Liu Xun was naturally not stupid enough to tell them that there was hay, sand and other things buried in the ground.
This time, Liu Xun not only trained their military orders, but also trained their courage. Only with an army that can carry out military orders and courage can it move forward indomitably and be invincible.
Looking at the stunned crowd, the black-hearted Liu Xun gloated, regardless of the fact that he began to count, and when he counted to one, the expressions of these people obviously changed a lot, and they were basically still hesitating and struggling.
When the count reached two, someone began to make a decision, and many people looked at Liu Xun's face, wanting to see something from Liu Xun's face, but unfortunately they were doomed to disappointment.
When Liu Xun's cold voice sounded, and when he counted to three, most of the people gritted their teeth and jumped down. There were only a dozen or so people left who hesitated and still didn't have the courage to jump down, and chose to be timid.
A miraculous scene happened, and at this time, everyone who jumped down was ready to close their eyes, and life or death went with the flow. As a result, there was no pain in my body, just a feeling of sinking into the earth. When I opened my eyes, I saw that there was a thick layer of hay, sand and other things underneath. When they reacted, they couldn't help but secretly congratulate themselves on their decision.
And the mood of the people above is naturally diametrically opposite, and everyone is depressed. At this moment, they couldn't wait to arrest Liu Xun and beat Haibian, but thinking of their cowardice just now, they all blushed again. After all, fighting is about death, and even this is afraid, who will believe that they can dare to fight the enemy on the battlefield when the time comes.
Liu Xun was secretly happy when he saw this scene. Now it seems that the results of my training are still very good: "Very good, very good, this is what I want." As a soldier, when the military order is issued, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he must move forward. Today, if you have violated military orders and stopped moving, I will not spare you if you are on the battlefield. Today, I will spare you once, but the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and those of you who did not jump will all be demoted by one level and fined 20 boards. In the future, I hope you will be ashamed and courageous. ”
"Thank you for not killing." Those who didn't jump hurriedly thanked them.
Liu Xun nodded, didn't have time to pay attention to their thoughts, and then said:
"Okay, your group has completed the task, now leave quickly, don't contact the people behind."
Soon the day passed, and as night fell, when the last batch of dances was finished, Liu Xun showed a satisfied look. "It seems that my training methods are still very effective, basically more than 80% of the people choose to jump bravely. With such achievements as they have now, Liu Xun now firmly believes that when they meet Sun Ce, who is in full swing, even if they are afraid, they will be afraid of the majesty of the military order and choose to persevere.
Time passed like a white horse, and soon came to January 199, on this day Liu Xun held the news from Zhang Brown tightly in his hand, and Lu Bu was hanged in Baimen Tower after being broken by Cao Cao a month ago. As the princes left one by one, a sense of urgency followed, and Liu Xun's long-suppressed mood could not be relaxed.
Liu Xun couldn't sleep peacefully that day and night, so he simply read the military book in the study. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, but it was the attendant who came to report that a guest had visited.
Liu Xun was very surprised, which bastard ate the ambition leopard guts and dared to disturb his rest at this time?
"Who is it?" With curiosity, Liu Xun turned his head and asked the attendant on the side.
The attendant said with a bitter face, "My lord, the person who came did not report his name, only that you asked him to come, and he still has your handwritten letter, and the villain has also verified it, it is indeed your handwritten letter." And this person is resolute to see you in the middle of the night, and the little one sees that you have just fallen asleep, so he naturally does not dare to delay and asks him to wait in the front hall. ”
"I called? And my handwritten letter? ”
Liu Xun was suddenly confused, and suddenly Liu Xun threw away the military book in his hand, stood up suddenly, and strode towards the front hall. At this time, Liu Xun finally reacted, and the person waiting for him must be Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin or other famous historical generals who he had been thinking about for a long time. In addition to these celebrities, it is unlikely that anyone else will have their own handwritten letters.
So who is the one who came?
Liu Xun was instantly excited, and ran towards the hall with a flushed face. In order to show his attention to this person, Liu Xun deliberately took off his shoes and socks on the way out. Needless to say, this trick that Cao Cao often used to win people's hearts has already been thoroughly learned by Liu Xun from later generations.
Liu Xun couldn't wait to come to the hall, and he vaguely saw a burly man standing in the hall from afar, this person was dressed gorgeously, and he was better than Liu Xun.
Before Gan Ning could react, Liu Xun, who was excited, had already arrived before he could speak: "I am Liu Xun, but Gan Xingba is in front?" ”
Although Liu Xun is 90% sure, he still doesn't feel at ease and wants to determine where the other party comes from.
"It's Ganning." A majestic voice rang out in the hall.
After a pause, another voice sounded: "I heard that Liu Taishou summoned me, so I came over to see him." ”
After listening to Gan Ning's self-report, it was confirmed that this person was the Wu general Gan Ning in history. At this moment, Liu Xun is completely relieved,
Then Liu Xun smiled and said loudly: "I heard that Xingba is a rare bold person in the world, I have admired it for a long time, if there is a place where the hospitality is not good, please bear with Xingba." ”
Before Gan Ning could reply, Liu Xun paused, and said: "Now that the weather is cold and late at night, Xingba specially invites Xingba to drink and warm up, how about it?" ”
