In addition to daily physical fitness and technical and tactical exercises, soldiers also have to conduct simulated actual combat under the leadership of officers.
In the simulated actual combat, everyone is fully armed. Except for the wooden swords and wooden guns used as weapons, the other weapons are all real ones.
Moreover, once the two teams started fighting, it was difficult to stop. At the end of each sparring session, the camp was full of injured soldiers, with bruises and purples all over their bodies. Some even had broken arms, legs or broken ribs. Of course, there are some.
Because the training produced a large number of wounded soldiers, the military medical system in Liu Bei's army was very developed. When Zhang He participated in the training, he found that military doctors and medical assistants were standing on the sidelines waiting.
As soon as the training was over, the screaming wounded soldiers were immediately separated by the swarming military doctors and assistants, who immediately provided emergency treatment. Some wounded soldiers who needed to be rehabilitated were directly carried away by something called a stretcher. Wounded soldiers recuperate in the camp.
The speed is called fast.
Regarding this situation, Zhang He consulted old officers and veterans in the army and learned that they were very familiar with and agreed with this. They felt that it was training combat soldiers and medical soldiers at the same time, so it was perfect for both.
To sum it up, just two sentences.
First, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime.
Second, it is better to be injured in training than to die in combat.
If you are injured during training, the well-prepared military doctors will treat you and allow you to report back to the military camp intact. But if you die in battle, the only thing that can go back is your ashes.
Which one do you choose?
Zhang He was surprised, and talked with the soldiers again, and learned that the soldiers generally understood and were willing to accept this situation.
Comparatively speaking, so many military doctors and military medical assistants also cost money, and there are so many herbal medicines, treatment tools, etc., which also cost money.
General Liu spent a lot of money just to train us well and not lose our lives. If we can't understand this kind of love and care, it would be too ungrateful.
After Zhang He learned about it, he was deeply moved. Thinking of the survival mode of natural selection in his original army, he suddenly felt a little unacceptable.
And he also learned that Liu Bei's army had a strong philosophy of "never give up, never give up". Not only that, but there were also tangible rewards.
That is to say, rescuing a fellow wounded soldier who was injured and unable to move but did not die on the battlefield is also considered a military merit.
Just one companion is equivalent to killing one enemy.
Rescuing comrades is an old tradition in Liu Bei's army. The existence of this tradition makes Liu Bei's army have a very high proportion of veterans.
For example, Zhang He's superior in the army, a military commander, was a Sanhe veteran who had followed Liu Bei during the Yellow Turbans.
When he talked about the strong tradition of never abandoning or giving up among Liu Bei's army, he was very happy when he talked about it.
He said that when he fought desperately, his stomach was broken, his intestines were exposed, and he fainted, but he was carried back to the military camp by two comrades gritting his teeth, and then he was saved by military doctors.
He often showed the big scar he had left back to the recruits, and sighed with emotion when facing a group of recruits, saying that he could survive to this day only because of this tradition and because Liu Bei was willing to spend a lot of money to save wounded soldiers like them. , otherwise he would have died long ago.
At first, everyone didn't understand that it was purely for military glory, but later on, especially when more and more guys like him survived relying on this tradition, this tradition really became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and entered the marrow of this army. Inside.
After all, who doesn’t want to live?
After hearing this story, Zhang He was also deeply touched. Thinking of his previous behavior of only focusing on military merit regardless of when he led troops to fight, he began to feel that something was wrong.
For Zhao Yun, who has no military experience, the various special existences in Liu Bei's army also made him quite emotional.
But what impressed him most was the strong learning atmosphere in Liu Bei's army.
Zhao Yun knew how difficult it was to study and learn calligraphy. For those who had no way, even if they had money, they would not be able to find a way to learn, and no one would teach them.
If a normal person can learn to read and write, he is already a first-class educated person and is ahead of most people. Wanting to learn more is wishful thinking.
You have learned how to do it, how can I control you?
But in Liu Bei's military camp, even the lowest-level soldier has to learn to read and write. In addition to daily physical exercise and technical and tactical drills, he also has to spend a certain amount of time learning to read and write.
Soldiers learn to read and write, and then starting from junior officers, in addition to reading and writing, they are also exposed to the art of war.
Because Zhao Yun had little experience, he only held the position of commander in the army as a general. He originally thought that this position would not bring anything, but he did not expect that even the commander below would have to start from " Start learning the art of war with this basic military book: "Military Training and Drill Code".
According to the military instructors who taught them their knowledge, this "Military Training Code" is a military reading compiled by Liu Bei himself based on his many years of marching and fighting experience. The content is not only theoretical but also supported by practical cases. It is Liu Bei's guide for building an army. Base.
Starting from the most junior officers, officers at the grassroots level must learn the "Military Training Code" and master the most basic knowledge related to marching, commanding, and training.
When you reach the rank of military lord, you will be exposed to higher-level teaching materials on the art of war and learn more in-depth knowledge of leading troops.
The teachers also said that every job promotion not only requires military achievements as a basis, but also requires taking a promotion exam. Only by passing the promotion exam can the position be officially promoted, and the higher you go, the more difficult the promotion exam is, and the more you need to go to college. Kung Fu ponders the art of war.
Because Liu Bei believes that a qualified general is a qualified general who is both civil and military. If he cannot meet the standards for passing the promotion examination, it can only prove that this person is not capable enough and talented enough. He cannot entrust more soldiers to him, no matter how high his achievements are.
Zhao Yun was very emotional about this.
He read the "Military Training Manual" and found that there were really many practical skills in it. They were things that he had not been able to access in the past but were really meaningful. After studying in the army for a few days, he felt that he had an understanding of the military. Totally different perspective.
In the past, he was well-known in the county for his own bravery. He fought all over the country with his bravery, but there was no opponent, not even his brother. He was very proficient in riding and archery. He felt that he must You can achieve a great career.
But now he realized that relying on the things he had mastered through wild methods would not work.
Fighting in groups is okay, and competing with dynamic social groups is okay. But if you fight against a professional army, you will definitely die. The gap between the two sides is too big. The "Military Training Code" even mentions soldiers digging stoves and dry latrines. There are, this is something he never thought of.
So he studied this knowledge eagerly and tried his best to enrich himself.
On the day when Xun Shuang came to talk to Liu Bei about the matter, Zhao Yun also happened to have his once-in-10 report day, and returned from the army to the general's mansion to report to Liu Bei.
He told Liu Bei what he had learned in the army during this period. Liu Bei asked some questions, and he answered them well. Liu Bei was very happy, encouraged Zhao Yun, and rewarded him with two big fat sheep. Let him take it back to the military camp and share it with his men to eat.
"You are still young and it is the time when your body is growing. Eat more meat and exercise more. Your body will be stronger and you will be able to take on big things in the future."
"Thank you, Lord!"
Zhao Yun felt Liu Bei's care and concern for him. He was overjoyed and felt deep gratitude in his heart.
When he came to Luoyang before, he curiously asked Liu Bei how he learned about him and decided to summon him, but Liu Bei gave him a very mysterious answer.
Dreaming about him.
Liu Bei said that he did not know the existence of Zhao Yun at first, but in his dream, he dreamed that he was in danger on the battlefield. At the critical moment, a young general with a white horse and white robe appeared in front of him, saved him, and helped him out of danger. .
He asked who the young general was. The young general shouted "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong" and then rode away.
Zhao Yun was surprised at that time.
The cousin Zilong was given by his elder brother after he decided to respond to Liu Bei's summons. Before Liu Bei's envoy arrived, he was not yet an adult and had not decided to become an official, so he had not yet taken the cousin.
At that time, he himself didn't know his cousin's name, but Liu Bei knew his cousin's name before that?
Could it be that there are really such mysterious things in this world?
Because this matter was too mysterious, Zhao Yun didn't dare not believe it. He could only think that he and Liu Bei might have a wonderful destiny destined by God.
This wonderful feeling filled Zhao Yun's heart, gradually making him full of expectations for the future.
Of course, Zhao Yun didn't know that Liu Bei also said the same to Zhang He, the same to Liu Ye, and the same to Cheng Li. It's just that the versions are different and the details are different, but the general story line is the same.
Anyone who has no reasonable contact channels will always be his loyal minister.
In the dream, he encountered various dangers, such as falling into a well, being plotted by political opponents, and almost eating something poisonous. Anyway, it was a disaster.
Then these disasters were resolved one by one by these talents who suddenly appeared, and then left their names and places of origin, and then disappeared in front of him. He stretched out his hands to catch them, but they seemed to be phantoms, and they could not be seen at all. Can't hold it back.
After Liu Bei woke up, he was very surprised, so he sent people to look for it, and finally found it.
Fate, fate destined by God, it seems that you and I are destined to achieve a great career together!
Liu Bei held their hands and showed great courtesy to them.
No one can withstand the enthusiasm and joy of the general.
No one can question this mysterious and mysterious rhetoric.
Therefore, they all felt that they were Liu Bei's wise ministers and they were destined to achieve a career together with Liu Bei.
