Chapter 59 Making a Show

"One more time." Liu Xieyang raised his hand. "Eat after this time."

"Wei!" Wang Chang and another Huben servant responded, and ran down the hillside.

The moment they turned around, both of them showed painful expressions at the same time.

They had already run a dozen times on this uphill road about a hundred steps long, and their legs were as heavy as lead, but they dared not have any opinions.

Because the emperor followed suit before, but his body was too weak, so he was eliminated the third time.

The two of them are the two who persisted until the end.

This trip was harder than ever, and every step was a torment.

When they reached the finish line, they could not stand still, and they just wanted to sit on the ground, or simply lie on the ground.

"Now let you attack them, is there any chance of winning?" Liu Xie said to the two young soldiers who were huddled together.

The two teenagers glanced at each other, stepped forward, one with a sword and shield in front, and the other with a spear behind, and attacked Wang Chang first.In normal times, Wang Chang would not take these two half-grown children seriously.But now, his physical strength was exhausted. Although he tried his best to raise the shield in his hand, he couldn't move his feet.

The two teenagers cooperated with each other and easily defeated them, symbolically wiping their necks with their sabers.

"Your Majesty, it's very easy." A young man said proudly.

Liu Xie turned around, looked at a group of thin soldiers and said, "Look, no matter how strong you are, if you climb up this hillside ten times in a row, you will be too tired to handle even a child. You are all adults People, as long as their hearts are not flustered and their hands are not soft, they will be able to deal with it."

The soldiers nodded again and again, full of confidence.

These are the weak ones selected from Dong Cheng's army. Dong Cheng originally arranged for them to do some work such as carrying ordnance and the wounded, but Liu Xie felt that Dong Cheng's troops were too small, and he wanted to use every soldier as much as possible. , specially arranged such a demonstration.

To get them to fight the enemy, the first step is to get rid of their fear of Xiliang soldiers.

In the beginning, Wang Chang and others were able to easily defeat these thin soldiers with one against ten, but after letting them run a few times, less than half of them could easily win.After ten times, even the thinnest young soldier can defeat the strongest Wang Chang.

A living example is right in front of your eyes, everyone has lost their fear and saw the hope of revenge.

They were singled out because they all had the tragic experience of their relatives being killed by Xiliang people and their homes burned down by Xiliang people.If they were given the chance to take revenge, most of them would be willing to give it a try.

Liu Xie assured them that they were only allowed to serve as the reserve team to give the main force a chance to replenish their physical strength, and they would not be allowed to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Such things are commonplace for many generals, which can not only consume the opponent's physical strength, but also reduce food consumption.For Dong Cheng, no one would believe it, but Liu Xie is the emperor, and his words are golden.His personal promise still has a certain degree of credibility.

"You have worked hard, go eat." Liu Xie said to Wang Chang and the others: "One liter of wine per person, and an extra half an hour of rest."

Wang Chang and others, who were as tired as dead dogs just now, were revived with full blood, jumped up, thanked loudly, and rushed to the big camp where they were eating.

Those Huben servants who were lazy and afraid of being tired and refused to participate in the drill looked at each other with jealousy.

It's okay to rest for half an hour, but a liter of wine is too rare.After eating wheat rice with His Majesty for a few days, birds can fade out of his mouth.How comfortable it would be to have a few sips of wine.

Unfortunately, this opportunity was missed.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." Dong Wan reminded.

"I'm not in a hurry, I won't be too late to eat after they finish eating."

Dong Wan let out an "oh" and didn't say anything else.Since Liu Xie came to the camp, he has formed an unwritten habit of not only eating rough wheat rice with ordinary soldiers, but also being the last to eat.As long as there is a soldier who has not eaten, he will not eat.

As a nobleman, Dong Wan could only accompany her, while watching the soldiers eating, while holding her growling stomach, thinking about the pain when the rice slid down her throat, she hesitated whether to apply to go back to the imperial camp.

Although Yuying only has one meal a day, after all, it needs to be finer, so that it is not so difficult to swallow.

Liu Xie couldn't bear to see it, but he could only pretend not to see it.

In order to gain the support of the soldiers and go all out in the next battle, he had to lead by example.

Even if it's a show, you have to stick to the show to the end.

This is related to whether he can gain a firm foothold in the army, whether he can restore the dignity of the court, and whether he can make everyone—including Jia Xu—believe that he is the son of destiny and the master of ZTE.

Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.

"Your Majesty, look." Wang Yue suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance, and called in a low voice.

Liu Xie turned his head to look, and saw two cavalrymen galloping towards the horizon, the horses flying all four hooves into the air, pulling up two streams of smoke.

After a while, the cavalry rushed down the slope. Before their horses stopped, they jumped off their horses and rushed a few steps forward. One of them fell into the loess, struggled a few times but failed to get up, and the other staggered up the hillside. .

"Your Majesty..." the cavalryman was out of breath, pointing to the distance. "Fly...the Flying Bear Army is here."

"How many people in total?"

"There are more than [-] cavalry and about [-] infantry. One of the generals commanding the army is surnamed Li and the other is surnamed Hu."

Liu Xie nodded and ordered people to spread out the map.The cavalry pointed out the location of the Feixiong Army on the map, which was about ten miles away from Guo Si's camp.

"Have you met the enemy?"

"No, I will bear in mind Your Majesty's order and avoid contact with them as much as possible." The cavalryman raised his sleeves, wiped his face, and the loess wet with sweat was pulled out in a row. "They shot a few arrows from a distance, but we all have iron armor for self-defense, so it doesn't get in the way."

"Okay, let's go get something to eat."

"Wei!" The cavalry responded excitedly, and went to eat with his partner who had just climbed the hillside.

Liu Xie stipulated that scouts consume a lot of energy, and every time they get useful information, they can get an extra piece of food.If you get important information, you can also earn a reward for your family, usually a bowl of wheat rice.

People who have never been hungry do not know the value of food. Most of these people have experienced starvation, and some have even eaten people, or almost been eaten by others. They cherish this opportunity very much and try their best to find out the news.

For this reason, Liu Xie had to repeatedly tell them not to get too close to the Xiliang Army's camp, and not to easily contact the Xiliang Rangers, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties.

Still, there are people taking risks for useful information, and casualties are reported almost daily.

But no one complained, it was all voluntary.

From noon to night, more than a dozen pieces of news came successively, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

Liu Xie ordered that the exercise of each battalion be over, and the whole army be turned into an actual combat state.

　Xie Shuyou, who is conscientious and lonely, donate thousands of points and add a new chapter.
