The night passed quickly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cheng Pu stayed by Sun Ce's side and didn't close his eyes almost all night. He didn't know what Sun Ce was thinking, but he believed that Yuan Qi's words, what Sun Ce was thinking about now must be very important. At this point, Yuan Qi has no need to deceive himself.

At night, there were several teams of people and horses patrolling the night in the Youzhou camp quietly passing by. Even in the middle of the night, these soldiers who patrol the night are also full of energy and neat, through these soldiers, Cheng Pu deduced that Yuan Qi is not only brave and brave, but also deeply understands the way of governing the army, which also makes Cheng Pu's impression of Yuan Qi climb another level.

When the sky was dark, the soldiers in the Youzhou Army camp started a new day, shouting majestic and powerful slogans and starting their morning exercises. This is also the military rule set by Yuan Qi, in Yuan Qi's words, the plan of the day lies in the morning, and early morning is the most suitable time for drills.

The Youzhou army drilled for an hour, and then returned to the barracks to have breakfast. Several sergeants held two huge food plates and brought breakfast to Cheng Pu and the others. The breakfast of the military career is very simple, two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge per person. Cheng Pu took the breakfast handed by the soldier, and he was surprised to find that there were a few shredded meat in the porridge.

Holding a sergeant who was delivering food, Cheng Pu asked curiously: "This little brother, are these porridges specially prepared for my eldest son?

The sergeant glanced at Sun Ce, who was still lying on the ground, shook his head and said, "No, these porridges were originally like this. In the army, everyone's diet is the same, even my hussar general is no exception, this is the rule set by my general. As for this porridge, it is the food standard set by my general a long time ago. The general said that the Son of Heaven is not short of hungry soldiers, so our Youzhou army, especially our soldiers in Beiping, can eat meat every day. ”

Hearing the soldier's story, Cheng Pu understood. It is no wonder that the Youzhou Army has a reputation for being an invincible and invincible iron army, in addition to the martial arts and wisdom of the commanders Yuan Ying and Yuan Qi, the physical fitness of the soldiers is also a major factor. Let your subordinates eat meat every day, this is not something that any prince can do, in this **** era of this world, basic food supply is a problem, let alone meat. Yuan Qi also relied on the fertile land of Youzhou to encourage the people under his rule to work hard, and only collected a small amount of taxes, coupled with the financial support of the Taishi Chamber of Commerce, so that the soldiers could have meat to eat every day.

It is a very ordinary thing to let the sergeants have meat to eat, but Cheng Pu knows that there are too many things involved. The character of the monarch is a prerequisite, and only a monarch who loves his soldiers like a son will do so; secondly, it is also a great test of the monarch's financial strength, and it is a large expense to supply the meat of his subordinates for a long time; thirdly, from the military level, eating meat will definitely make the soldiers physically strong, and the chances of victory in the war will be greater; finally, and only the most important point, this practice is undoubtedly an extremely clever but very simple way of domination, which can invisibly enhance the sense of belonging of the soldiers and make them loyal。

With a simple bowl of meat porridge, Cheng Pu saw so many doorways, and this was just what he saw, what about those he didn't see? This little overlord is really not simple! Cheng Pu sighed in his heart.

"Guys, have you eaten well? If you eat well, we'll clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Another sergeant who delivered the meal asked.

Woo woo woo -

A hurried horn sounded, which was the order for the whole army to assemble issued by Yuan Qi.

Several miscellaneous soldiers who delivered food heard this series of horns, quickly packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and ran to the place where the horn sounded, while still arranging their clothes and armor.

Looking at the figure of several miscellaneous soldiers running away quickly, Cheng Pu once again sighed that Yuan Qi managed the army well, and even the miscellaneous soldiers who delivered food were much higher than those county soldiers in the local area.

Half an hour later, the entire Youzhou battalion rose up, all the soldiers lined up in echelons in an orderly manner, and a group of sergeants marched towards the north with high morale and neat lines.

Soon, Yuan Qi's Chinese army column came over. Yuan Qi rode on a pure white jade unicorn, dressed in a golden dragon roaring heavenly armor, carrying the Chitian Divine Sword at his waist, and holding a mixed yuan halberd in his hand, walking at the forefront of the team. Ma Yue and Xu Chu followed Yuan Qi left and right; Dian Wei, who had a grand face, walked on the side of Yuan Qi's horse's head, still holding the reins of the jade unicorn in his hand; the rest of the generals spread out in a fan shape after Yuan got up, hesitating the stars to hold the moon and guard Yuan Qi in the middle. Among the generals, only the tiger general Zuo Ci was missing, and at this moment, Zuo Ci had already led 3,000 cavalry to take the lead as a pioneer.

Cheng Pu hurriedly tidied up his clothes and armor, stood up respectfully with a dozen followers, and stood in place with his head bowed. This is the basic etiquette, the etiquette that should be when meeting a superior official.

Yuan Qi was worried about the battle situation between Feiru and Yuyang, and he had no intention of staying longer, so he nodded slightly to Cheng Pu, even if he had said hello, and then rode his horse and passed by Cheng Pu and others.

Suddenly, a majestic and powerful voice rang out: "Where are you going?"

Cheng Pu turned his head in surprise and whispered, "Eldest son, have you woken up?"

Sun Ce didn't seem to hear Cheng Pu's question, looked straight at Yuan Qi, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Yuan Qi turned his head, looked at Sun Ce, stretched out his hand and lifted the dragon mask covering his face, exposed his entire face, and said with a smile: "It's been more than five hours, have you ever thought clearly and clearly?"

Sun Ce first nodded, then shook his head again, but did not speak.

It turned out that in yesterday's battle, not only Yuan Qi broke through his own bottleneck, but even Sun Ce was on the verge of breaking through. Yuan Qi was naturally very clear about the subtle changes in Sun Ce's strength, he knew that Sun Ce was facing a huge opportunity at that time, and if he could understand it, his strength would definitely improve a lot. However, Sun Ce is a high-minded and arrogant person by nature, and the first defeat in his life will inevitably make people feel depressed, especially when he is defeated under Yuan Qi, who is also known as the little overlord. This competition subverted Sun Ce's long-standing concept, and it was easy for Sun Ce to have psychological obstacles, if Sun Ce successfully passed this hurdle, his strength would soar; on the contrary, if he couldn't survive this hurdle, his martial arts would not advance but retreat, and now it seems that the result is not bad.

Yuan Qi sighed, and then said with some seriousness: "As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat." The truth of human nature is as simple as that. Good travelers drown, and those who drown are often swimmers. It's good to have an obsession in your heart, but don't get too attached to it. ”

Yuan Qi and Sun Ce are about the same age, but this remark is serious, similar to the words of the elders educating the juniors, but it did not arouse the disgust of anyone present, it seems that all this is taken for granted, and it should be like this. Including Cheng Pu, the eldest and almost forty years old, they all listened carefully, carefully savoring every word between the lines of Yuan Qi's words.

After saying this, Yuan Qi no longer stayed, and rode his horse on a journey.

Sun Ce muttered, "Water... Yes... Carry... Boat, also... Yes... Cover... After repeating it a few times, Sun Ce seemed to have figured something out, and then sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. At this moment, Sun Ce has faded away from the arrogance of the world, like a jade that has returned to its true nature after washing away the lead, falling into a temporary silence, and can be carved into perfect jade at any time. And if Yuan Qishui can carry a boat and overturn a boat, it is like the sharpest carving knife in the world, helping Sun Ce to carry out the final transformation.

When Yuan Qi led the army dozens of miles away, Sun Ce, who was sitting cross-legged in the open space of the Youzhou camp, suddenly opened his eyes. The light in his eyes flickered, making people dare not look directly.

Cheng Pu, who had been waiting beside him, immediately felt the change in Sun Ce, although it was not as obvious as the change in Yuan Qi yesterday, but Cheng Pu still felt it clearly. Sun Ce can be said to have grown up watching Cheng Pu, and he can't hide all the changes in Sun Ce from Cheng Pu's eyes.

"Eldest Prince, you're awake. Cheng Pusheng asked.

Sun Ce smiled and nodded with emotion: "In ancient times, there was Qinglian, and I talked about jade crumbs. Where did the hussars go?"

Cheng Pu shook his head and smiled: "Yuan Hussar has a good way to control the army, and the army is strictly organized, and the sergeants under his command refuse to tell where they went, but when they saw that they were marching north, they must have gone to Yuyang to fight the rebellious Zhang Ju." "In terms of force, Cheng Pu is really not in the stream, but when it comes to marching and fighting, Cheng Pu is a good hand, and he guessed Yuan Qi's whereabouts at once.

Sun Ce nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's go to Yuyang too." ”

Cheng Pu originally thought that after Sun Ce had learned to put away his exposed edge after this setback and epiphany, but Cheng Pu never expected that the first thing Sun Ce did when he woke up was still to find Yuan Qi! Whose trouble, hehe, someone has done a great favor, this love has to be repaid. ”

After hearing Sun Ce's words, Cheng Pu secretly put his mind at ease, no matter what Sun Ce went to Yuan Qi for, as long as he didn't make trouble, Cheng Pu would let Sun Ce go.
