Today's Chinese army soldiers are particularly passionate when they practice.

The war drums were bursting, and under the loud reprimand of the generals, the soldiers in heavy armor began to gallop, the armor collided, the two sides encountered, and the people turned on their backs.

There was a strong smell of sweat everywhere.

The shouts of the soldiers were like thunder, constantly resounding in the camp.

The armor soldiers of the Chinese army are not disgusted with this kind of exercise, and Cao Wei's Chinese army is different from the past, they are not recruiting, but recruiting.

They were not the kind of farmers who came to serve as soldiers for three years in the Later Han Dynasty, they were full-time armor soldiers recruited by the temple.

Therefore, the ideas of the two are also different, the farmers who serve only want to survive this day as soon as possible and then return to their hometowns, and these professional soldiers, they do not survive the time, or they will fight and get ahead.

Either they work in the position of the low-level armor until they are old and can't hold a spear.

But the original Chinese army had no way to get ahead through military exploits.

With the corruption of the ruling class, the position of the Chinese army was gradually occupied by those high-ranking disciples who were obedient and drunk, and they directly parachuted in and were unreasonable.

They don't participate in drills on weekdays, and they hide at the end when they fight, but the credit is that they get it first.

And the armor soldiers are no longer busy with training or anything, but just thinking of ways to flatter these people, to bribe, and to gain the favor of these people.

The truly talented armorers were buried, and those flattering villains were elevated.

Even those positions that the children of the high-ranking families look down on, such as the most basic positions such as the official, the fire head, and the column chief, are also replaced by their minions, and when they arrive at Quhou, they will begin to be held by scholars, and the Ministry Sima will not have the share of ordinary people, as for the captain or something, heh.

Not only is the reward and punishment unfair, but in other respects, the treatment is also extremely unfair, even the food is deducted, and the officers are often swallowed up their rewards and subsidies on various trumped-up charges.

The big families will become the world's richest because they can swallow money by any means.

Even robbing with soldiers can be done, what is it to them?

Since the arrival of Malone and the others, the situation has changed significantly.

In the past, generals rarely practiced to the death, and even if they did, there would be no rewards and promotions.

However, Malone personally led the soldiers to participate in the drill, promoted outstanding people, punished the wine bags and rice bags that could not be completed, and batch after batch of related households and straw bales were pulled out by Malone, some were beheaded, and some were driven out.

Those who blatantly engaged in restraint were beheaded and displayed to the public, and the children of the high-ranking families ran away with their heads in their hands.

The atmosphere of the Chinese army suddenly became different.

And when Xiahou Xian became the commander-in-chief, he began to use Ma Long's method to rectify the army, and for a while, the battalions of the Chinese army were chickens and dogs, and a large number of rats were driven out, and that Feng Zhen got out of the way.

The reason for his dismissal was not that he was implicated by the Sima family as he said, in fact, there are still captains of the Sima family in the Chinese army.

"Captain Ma! How's the drill? ”

Xiahou Xian's chariot stopped at the backbone camp, and Ma Long hurriedly stepped forward and said, "According to the drill you ordered, the ranking was established, and the excellent were rewarded and the backward were punished. ”

Ma Long was very humble, but Xiahou Xian nodded, "Very good!" ”

He looked at the young man in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

He didn't know where the emperor had found such a good young man.

Ma Long wrote to himself, in which he mentioned many training methods, and he believed that in order to maintain a combat-effective army, it should be closely linked with rewards, and follow the example of the former Han Dynasty, and compete for a period of time.

Malone said in the above book: "First compare the fire, then the officials, then the songs, and then the camps." ”

This is a competition according to different ranks, and those who rank well are rewarded, and those who do not rank well are punished by their officers.

Xiahou Xian thought so.

Ma Long is different from Wen Yang, Wen Yang is a very powerful general, and Ma Long is an excellent military strategist.

In history, Malone wrote military works, expounding the principles of leading troops to fight and training the army.

Just when Xiahou Xian was talking to Ma Long, a scout suddenly came in a hurry.

"General! Your Majesty is coming! ”

"Huh??"

Xiahou Xian's eyes widened, and his face was a little surprised, "What is Your Majesty doing here?" ”

"Isn't something big going on?"

Xiahou Xian immediately frowned, and he hurriedly led the people towards the gate of the camp.

And when he hurried to the gate, Cao Chao was standing in front of a few armor soldiers with a comfortable face, asking something in a low voice.

The armor soldiers looked quite restrained, trembling at the moment, and answering the emperor's questions incoherently.

"Your Majesty, it's been twelve years, and it's not been unso."

Xiahou Xian hurriedly got out of the car, walked in front of Cao Chao, and interrupted the words of the Jiashi, "Your Majesty!!" ”

The armor didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly stood aside.

Cao Chao looked at Xiahou Xian with a smile, "Father Zhong, I can hear the sound of the soldiers of each battalion practicing in the Taiji Hall,"

"These days, I've really bothered my father, and my father is really a famous general who can govern the army!"

Xiahou Xian didn't even dare to say it, Cao Chao smiled and said to the Jiashi: "Zhao Jiaerlang, right, I remember your name, and I will come to you in the future!" ”

The warrior was flattered and hurriedly saluted again.

Cao Chao pulled the confused Xiahou Xian and walked towards the camp.

Xiahou Xian looked at the armor soldier in the distance, and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, but what's wrong with that person?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with him, I saw that he was quite courageous and eloquent, so I talked to him a few times."

Xiahou Xian is a little confused, what do you have to talk about as an emperor and a soldier? ?

However, Xiahou Xian didn't ask much about this, he was more curious about His Majesty's intention, and he asked again: "Why did Your Majesty come to this camp?" ”

Cao Chao replied calmly: "Naturally, I came to see their drills, and these major events can't all bother the middle father." ”

Xiahou Xian immediately reacted, and he immediately smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and the Chinese army should have obeyed your edict, you don't have to."

Xiahou Xian knew the emperor's intention, this was obviously to show favor to the Chinese army, and to win over the soldiers, but why bother?

You are the emperor, these people are your people.

Xiahou Xian suddenly had some hatred for Sima Shi again, blaming this guy, making His Majesty so unconfident, and even coming to the Chinese army camp in person, since Emperor Wen, how many years has the Son of Heaven not been to the Chinese army camp?

Cao Chao said: "Now that the Chinese army is in full swing, it naturally needs me to come and appease it." ”

"It's helpful for what you're going to do next."

Xiahou Xian didn't refute it again, he didn't want to be in charge of the military alone and not let the emperor ask, he just felt that the emperor was thinking a little too much, and there was no need for this at all.

Cao Chao went all the way to the first battalion, which was the camp where Ma Long was.

When Tianzi Huang Gai appeared here, it immediately caused an uproar among many soldiers, who stopped practicing and stood on tiptoe to look in the direction where Huang Gai was.

Ma Long even took many generals to visit him.

"Hahaha, Captain Ma, yes, this Chinese army has changed a lot!"

"You really have the demeanor of an ancient famous general!"

Cao Chao praised.

Ma Long didn't even dare to say it, Cao Chao exchanged a few words with the rest of the generals, and finally looked at the armor soldiers in front of him.

"Are there any people who are excellent in practice?"

Ma Long was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly called a few armor soldiers, who all looked extremely frightened and trembling.

"These are the best armorers in this competition!"

"Hahaha, there is such a competition, why is it not called Shangme? Next time, you must call me, I want to see it with my own eyes! ”

"Yui!!"

Cao Chao looked at the people and asked for their names and places of origin, and they quickly answered.

Cao Chao was very happy, holding their hands and encouraging them one by one.

"There are such warriors in the world, what else do I have to worry about? Come on, 10 gold rewards! Ten horses of silk cloth! A sword! ”

Xiahou Xian's eyes widened.

The armor soldiers' faces turned red and they didn't know what to do.

Malone said solemnly: "Why don't you thank you?!" ”

The armor hurriedly thanked Cao Chao.

"Hahaha, it doesn't have to be like this, I have to work harder in the future, General Xiahou's competition is very good, and I will continue to promote it in the future, I will come to watch it in person next time!" If only you could win! I have a big reward! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

Those armorers are going crazy with joy.

Cao Chao asked Ma Long to continue practicing, while he watched from the sidelines, with the emperor watching, and the entire camp, from top to bottom, was very hard, and no one dared to delay.

Cao Chao looked at them, his face full of emotion.

He said loudly, "I am very pleased that the soldiers are so brave. ”

"They are all fighting for the world and for me, and they can't be treated badly."

"I have decided to raise their salaries, increase their rewards, improve their food, give them a chance to return home on vacation, and make proper arrangements for the old men who have left in old age and who have been wounded by the war."

"Huh??"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Ma Long looked at the emperor deeply and didn't say anything, but Xiahou Xian was a little anxious at the moment.

He hurriedly blocked in front of the emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't!" ”

"Sage Yun: Qi's skill strike, you can't meet the Wei clan's martial arts! The warriors of the Wei clan can't meet the sharp soldiers of Qin! Qin Zhiruishi, you can't be the temperance of Huan Wen! Huan Wen's moderation cannot be against Tang Wu's benevolence and righteousness! ”

"Your Majesty should govern the army with the benevolence and righteousness of Tang Wu, how can you be fierce with Qin? What about luring them with rewards? ”
