"...Joining the army, it's late at night, or I won't watch the remaining few. Anyway, everyone is only slightly injured, so it doesn't matter!"
The night was getting darker, and a crescent moon hung in the sky. Li Zexuan and his party had visited more than thirty camps. Sun Zhiping said to Li Zexuan at this time.
Cheng Chumo thought he would have fun when he came out, but after following a few camps, he found that there was nothing interesting, so he told Li Zexuan and went back to sleep. After all, this guy was also Li Zexuan on the surface. Personal bodyguards, this kind of personal bodyguards are as incompetent as they are!
However, Yuchi Baolin did not walk away and followed Li Zexuan silently.
"You've already said it. There are already a few above. There is no reason to leave them alone! Let's go! Let's seize the time to inspect the remaining soldiers and try not to disturb the rest of the rest!"
Li Zexuan shook his head, and then said: "Zhiping, lead the way! Go to the next camp!"
"Yes! Join the army!"
Seeing that Li Zexuan had made up his mind, Sun Zhiping stopped trying to persuade him. He clasped his fists in response, then turned around and walked towards a tent in the northwest corner.
In fact, he somewhat understood Li Zexuan's approach. The harsh training of Wuzi Camp this afternoon made the soldiers complain about Li Zexuan, especially the sergeants who were injured during the training. They all complained about Li Zexuan in their hearts. . Regarding these, he had heard reports from his subordinates in the evening.
So at this time, it was time to stabilize the morale of the military. Li Zexuan visited the camps of the injured soldiers tonight and checked their injuries. This was an act of stabilizing the morale of the military!
"Forty-two injured soldiers have been visited. It's getting late now. Join the army and go and rest!"
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Zexuan and his party finally visited all the remaining injured soldiers. After walking out of the camp, Sun Zhiping cupped his fists and said to Li Zexuan.
Tonight, their group spent more than an hour inspecting thirty-four camps (although there were forty-two injured soldiers in total, many of them lived in the same camp). Everywhere they visited, Li Zexuan personally checked the injuries and bandaging conditions of the wounded. If he found that the injured area was not bandaged properly, he would directly bandage it for the soldiers. Of course, after the bandaging was completed, Li Zexuan would also say a few words of encouragement to the soldiers in the account, and also tell them about the competition with Yiziying ten days later to increase their sense of urgency.
After completing the "combination of practical actions and ideological work", Li Zexuan can clearly feel that these soldiers are no longer so resistant to the new training drills!
This is the effect he wants!
"Don't sleep yet! Zhiping, come to my camp. I have something to discuss with you!"
Li Zexuan patted Sun Zhiping on the shoulder and said.
He has solved the problem of military morale, and the next step is to solve the problem of competing with Yiziying.
After a conversation with Duan Zhixuan during the day, Li Zexuan had a general understanding of the "military exercises" of this era. He also had some ideas in his mind, but whether these ideas were feasible or not, he still needed an expert to check them!
He doesn't want to make a joke about this!
And Sun Zhiping has been in the army for many years, so he must be considered an expert, and he is also "one of his own". For Li Zexuan, he is of course the best candidate for negotiation!
"Yes! Join the army!"
Sun Zhiping responded without hesitation and cupped his fists.
………………………………
"Zhiping, in ten days, the Y-zi camp will have a military competition with the E-zi battalion. You must have heard about this, right?"
After a while, Li Zexuan took Sun Zhiping and Yuchi Baolin back to the camp. He and Sun Zhiping sat opposite each other. After drinking a glass of water, he looked at Sun Zhiping and asked softly.
The reason why he whispered was because Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were both asleep at the moment, and he didn't want to affect the two brothers' rest.
Sun Zhiping nodded and said, "My subordinates heard from Zhang Kangnian and others about this matter at noon..."
After saying that, Sun Zhiping paused, hesitating to speak.
Li Zexuan's eyes were sharp and he naturally noticed the expression on Sun Zhiping's face. He smiled and said, "Zhiping, if you have any ideas, just tell me. It's not like you don't know my character. I won't be angry with my own people because of a few words." !”
"Um!"
Sun Zhiping said "hmm", and then he said with a serious face: "My subordinates think it is unwise to compete with the Y-zi camp with the Wu-zi camp. The strength gap between the soldiers of the two battalions can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Our Wu Zi Camp is now using a new training routine, but the gap in strength may be difficult to make up for in ten days of training. It will be difficult for us to win this competition!"
"Haha! You, you! Are you finally willing to tell the truth?"
Li Zexuan pointed at Sun Zhiping and said with a smile.
There was no sullen look on his face at all, as if he was not the one who made the decision on this competition!
Sun Zhiping touched his nose, his face a little unnatural. The reason why he didn't say these words before was mainly because he didn't want to dampen Li Zexuan's enthusiasm. After all, Li Zexuan had just entered the military camp and had just joined the army. It was already very difficult for him to achieve this level!
"Zhiping, you are right. In fact, I don't know about these things. But some people have put knives on our necks, and we have to do it even if we don't want to!"
After a moment of silence, Li Zexuan sighed and said with emotion: "Everyone knows that the current Xuanjia Army's A-shaped battalion is the strongest, followed by the B-shaped battalion, and the W-shaped battalion is the weakest. The reason why Qiu Xinggong dared to take the B-shaped battalion Isn't this the reason why we are competing with our Wu Zi Camp? But then again, if the weak cannot defeat the strong, how can we prove that the new training code is more advantageous? So I must accept this unfair challenge from Qiu Xinggong! And! , we may not have a chance to win in this competition!"
Sun Zhiping pondered for a moment and nodded: "My subordinates have heard a little bit about you and General Qiu this morning. According to my opinion, the reason why General Qiu is so aggressive is to drive you out of the Xuanjia Army, or He completely ignored you in the Xuanjia Army, so you proposed a new training code, and he opposed the new training code!"
"It's okay not to mention that old stubborn one!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand, interrupted Sun Zhiping, and said: "Before joining the Xuanjia Army, I knew that Qiu Xinggong didn't like me, but this competition is not only a personal grudge between me and him, but also about Xuanjia Army." The future training methods of the Xuanjia Army! Not only has the Xuanjia Army recently been expanded and lacks running-in, but the armor and equipment used by the soldiers are very different from before. If they still train according to the original method, there will definitely be big problems. If this affects the situation of the national war, then the Xuanjia Army will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame in history! So in this competition, we must not only win, but also win beautifully, so that Qiu Xinggong will be convinced that he lost! "
Sun Zhiping clasped his fists and said: "Since you have decided to join the army, I am willing to help you! And if you want to compete with Yiziying, then many of our soldiers in Wuziying are willing to help you join the army!"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Li Zexuan heard something unusual from Sun Zhiping's words. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
Sun Zhiping explained: "Wuzi Camp is full of elites from various guards in the capital, and they almost don't know each other. During the time when they were first transferred to the Xuanjia Army, most of the brothers were unfamiliar with the place where they were born, so it was inevitable Will be bullied by the "veterans" in the military camp. Veterans bullying new recruits is actually a very common thing in the military camps of the Tang Dynasty, but some people in the Y-zi camp are particularly excessive!
During our training, the brothers were often bullied by the people from Camp B. They even took away some of the meat that was supposed to be allocated to our camp! This means that people in Yiziying can eat two meals of meat a day, but we here can usually only eat one meal of meat a day. The brothers are actually holding their breath in their hearts! "
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are struggles. There are struggles between high-level generals, and there are also struggles between low-level soldiers! Sun Zhiping's words completely exposed the darkness behind the Black Armor Army!
Li Zexuan stared and said in shock: "Is there such a thing? But when it comes to military rations, aren't the people in Yizi Camp afraid of being dealt with by military law?"
It is almost a common phenomenon for veterans to bully new recruits, but grabbing meat is too much! This is considered to be withholding military rations, but it is a serious crime. As long as someone reports it, the person who robbed the meat will definitely die!
Sun Zhiping gave a wry smile and said, "You don't know something about joining the army. The commander of the Y-zi camp is a member of General Qiu, and the deputy general Qiu Datong is a distant relative of General Qiu. The person who brought the people here to steal the meat was the leader of deputy general Qiu. Afterwards, The subordinates also reported the matter to General Duan, but General Qiu was generally in charge of military affairs, and he had the authority to manage military supplies. The subordinates' secret report fell into the hands of General Qiu.
Later, General Qiu persuaded General Duan to let the five battalions compete for strength. The weakest one would only be provided with one meal of meat a day from now on. Our battalion has undoubtedly become the last one, so Vice General Chen can justly intercept part of our battalion's meat to the B-zi battalion! "
"Oh? So the W-Zi Ying and Y-Zi Ying have already competed before? What were you competing at?"
Li Zexuan never expected that the Wu-zi camp had a grudge against the Y-zi camp, and he never expected that before he came to the military camp, the five battalions within the Xuanjia Army had already competed with each other!
Sun Zhiping replied: "According to the rules at that time, each battalion selected a hundred elite soldiers, mounted war horses, wore armor, and fought with each other with wooden guns. If they were shot down and dismounted, they would be defeated! Those who came out of the Yzi camp were all veterans, and they fought against each other. There is a tacit cooperation among them, and those people are experienced in many battles and have good martial arts skills. Naturally, the Wuzi Battalion, which is full of new recruits, is no match for them!"
"Each battalion selects a hundred elite soldiers, armed with wooden guns and riding horses to fight. Those who fall off the horse will be eliminated!"
Li Zexuan muttered something thoughtfully, and after a moment he said: "Since the grudges between Wu Ziying and Yi Ziying have been going on for a long time, then we are even more likely to win this competition! The rules of this competition are up to me. Determined, Zhiping, in your opinion, what should we compete with them this time to have a better chance of winning?"
"this……"
Sun Zhiping was stunned for a moment. After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke: "It is a good thing that you, the soldier, will decide the rules of this competition, but if you decide too much and favor our battalion too much, I'm afraid General Qiu won't agree either." , we have to set a competition rule that is acceptable to General Qiu and that gives us a better chance of winning!"
"Yeah! Zhiping, your analysis is good! I think so too!"
Li Zexuan nodded, first affirming Sun Zhiping's point of view, and then said: "But what can we do more specifically so that we can have a better chance of winning and make Qiu Xinggong accept it? You also know that I don't know much about military service. Just give your opinion based on your experience and knowledge in the military over the years!"
"...Let me, my subordinates, think about it!"
Sun Zhiping clasped his fists, then frowned, and began to think deeply. After a long time, he looked at Li Zexuan and said: "Joining the army, in fact, there are only two types of military competitions in the past. The first one is like our five majors before. Battalions compete with each other in the same way, with two armies facing each other directly, but with wooden weapons to prevent casualties during the battle;
The second method is to go hunting in the mountains and forests. The party with more prey will win. However, this method is not suitable for our Xuanjia Army because the roads in the mountains and forests are rugged and it is difficult for the cavalry to spread out on a large scale! Therefore, according to my subordinates, why not let the soldiers on both sides change into wooden weapons and then charge into each other's battle lines? "
Hearing this, Li Zexuan's eyes narrowed. He stood up and walked around with his hands behind his back for two steps. Then he turned to look at Sun Zhiping and said: "Competing with the formation? Do you think that after ten days of training, our battalion can win in the formation?" Yiziying?”
Sun Zhiping nodded seriously and said: "It should be possible! Today's formation rushing training has given my subordinates some hope. Perhaps under the guidance of the new training code, our battalion can really beat B Zi in terms of formation rushing." Battalion! Because our training methods are better than theirs, and our soldiers train harder than them, although ten days is shorter, it may not mean there is no chance!"
"..."
Li Zexuan frowned and said nothing. Although Sun Zhiping's suggestion was reasonable, he still felt that the chances were slim. He didn't like to do things he was unsure of. At this moment, his mind was racing, and thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, but he "passed" them one by one. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He looked at Sun Zhiping said:
"I thought of it!"
Sun Zhiping was immediately overjoyed and asked quickly: "What's the clever idea of joining the army?"
Li Zexuan smiled, shook his head and said, "I can't tell you now. You'll know tomorrow morning! I have to write it down as soon as I have the inspiration. It's getting late. Zhiping, please go back to your tent and rest. We have to train tomorrow!”
After saying that, Li Zexuan found paper and pen from the wooden box on the couch and began to write quickly at his desk.
Sun Zhiping was speechless for a moment. He wanted to step forward and take a look, but since Li Zexuan said that just now, how could he have the nerve to step forward and take a peek? He had no choice but to clasp his fists, stand up and say: "Then my subordinates are resigning! You should rest early if you join the army!"
Li Zexuan was engrossed in writing and there was no response. Sun Zhiping could only leave the camp by himself.
Alas, how can I let myself sleep like this? !
Sun Zhiping outside the tent looked up at the sky and sighed.
