Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 5
For several months in a row, Zhao Feng trained with Zhang Fei.But after a few months, Zhao Feng gradually felt something was wrong, as if this training was far from his previous military training.After thinking about it again, I finally found out that something was wrong.

"Three generals, we don't seem to have done too much confrontation training!" Zhao Feng said to Zhang Fei during the training break. "Aren't we doing confrontation training every day? Isn't it enough?" Zhang Fei retorted a little strangely, and at the same time pointed to the soldiers who were fighting against each other on the field.

"What I mean is, we seem to be fighting with bare hands, but we haven't used weapons?" Zhao Feng explained further.When he was training in the military, he once heard the instructor say that infantry has five basic skills: bombing, shooting, assassination, blasting, and soil work.Now is the era of cold weapons, there is no way to talk about blasting and bombing, and there are also special crossbowmen for shooting, leaving only assassination and soil work for these ordinary soldiers to practice.But assassination obviously requires equipment. Such bare-handed confrontation training can't be said to be useless at all, but it is still very different from fighting with a guy in your hand on the battlefield.

For training, it is necessary to simulate actual combat as much as possible, so as to achieve the best results, otherwise it is meaningless to make those showy, this is Zhao Feng's idea.

"Using weapons?" Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Feng in surprise, then frowned and said, "You must know that swords have no eyes. If you really use weapons to fight against training, even half of these soldiers will die from training."

"Huh? How could this be? Don't I often learn martial arts with the third general and the second general?" Zhao Feng was a little hard to understand. "That's me, my second brother, and you are all people who have practiced martial arts for many years. There is a natural sense of proportion between the two. These little soldiers, how can you make them send and receive freely. Let them use weapons to fight against training, I am afraid that once they fight If it gets lively, then mutiny will be used." Zhang Fei said angrily.

"So that's how it is." Zhao Feng finally understood.I, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu can compete with each other, but it is really difficult for hundreds of people to compete with each other.what can we do about it?Zhao Feng had some headaches, the training effect would not be the best if he didn't fight against it, and it was not allowed to fight against objective conditions.After much deliberation, it seems that this is a contradiction that you can't have your cake and eat it too.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Feng suddenly had an idea. "It can be like this." Zhao Feng thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this method, so he immediately pulled Zhang Fei to explain in detail.After hearing this, Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily, and patted Zhao Feng on the shoulder and said loudly: "Bo Tao, your idea is really brilliant. When everything is ready tomorrow, we will take your camp first." Give it a try." While talking and filming, Zhao Feng smiled a little forcedly.Although I am not a weak literati, but being photographed like this, I also feel that my skeleton seems to be trembling a little.

That afternoon, Gongcao Jianyong received a strange list.This list was made by Zhang Fei, who proposed four hundred bamboo poles, some rags, and two buckets of white lime.Jian Yong thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what Zhang Fei would use these things for, but they were not important materials, so he immediately ordered the warehouse to bring these things up and send them to Zhang Fei.At almost the same time, Liu Bei was also informed by the mysterious Zhang Fei that there would be a special training session tomorrow, and he hoped that his eldest brother could watch it and give some pointers.

"But I don't know what kind of training it is. Can the third brother tell me?" Liu Bei was a little surprised that his brother pretended to be mysterious. Zhang Fei is notoriously straightforward, and he will pretend to be mysterious at some point. "Hey, big brother, you will know tomorrow." Zhang Fei laughed, but he also murmured in his heart: If Zhao Feng didn't ask me to stop talking, I wouldn't have to hold back.

And that night, after Zhao Feng returned to the barracks, he summoned his two military marquises, Lin Bao and Yang Xing, and informed them that a large-scale confrontation training would take place tomorrow. "I don't know Master Sima, what training is tomorrow?" Lin Bao first asked.He was originally a village chief, and he can be considered an experienced veteran, so Zhang Fei transferred him to Zhao Feng's department as a military lord to assist in training and management. "There is no other, it's just you waiting for the confrontation between the two songs." Zhao Feng said truthfully.Lin Bao and Yang Xing nodded and didn't ask any more questions. They just went back and informed their subordinates to prepare.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei came to Zhang Fei's barracks to watch the training.In addition to Liu Bei, Jian Yong, a civil servant, also came. He wanted to see what Zhang Fei was doing with the pile of things he received yesterday.

"I have met the lord!" After everyone saluted, the formal confrontation training began.Lin Bao and Yang Xing led 200 people each to stand separately on the field. At this time, several Zhang Fei's personal soldiers stepped forward and distributed 400 bamboo poles to each of them, and each of them distributed a piece of rag.At the same time, several other people came forward with two large buckets, which contained mixed lime slurry.

"All sergeants, wrap the end of the bamboo pole with cloth, then dip the lime in the lime bucket, and then start the battle!" Zhao Feng explained the rules succinctly.After a pause, he continued: "Anyone whose vital parts are stained with white ash is deemed to have lost the ability to fight and immediately retreat. If anyone continues to fight with white ash on their body, they will be punished!"

"Promise!" All 400 people agreed with a loud bang, gearing up to start preparations.Not long after, everyone tied up the bamboo poles, dipped them in lime, and then started a formal confrontation. "Kill!" "Come on!", the shouts of killing were loud, but because the bamboo pole was used and one end was wrapped with cloth, none of the hundreds of people in the field saw blood.

Not long after, some people got white ashes on their vital parts and quit the battle. Of course, there were also people who continued to fight sternly, but the soldiers in charge of supervision on the sidelines were not blind.Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people fighting fiercely in the arena. In the end, there were only thirty people left in the song led by Lin Bao, surrounded by Yang Xing and more than a hundred people in the core.Moreover, most of Lin Bao's subordinates have white and gray spots on their bodies, while Yang Xing's men only have a little bit of white ash on their arms or some secondary parts, which seems more like splashed gray spots.

At this point, the outcome was clear, and Yang Xing's team won. "It's really wonderful!" Liu Bei was also amazed when he saw it. After all, he is not an idle person. Once Zhao Feng finished talking about the rules, he basically understood the meaning of such a confrontation. By doing this, he could simulate actual combat as much as possible while ensuring safety. The effect of military training is naturally twice the result with half the effort.

"Third brother, it's really rare to think of such a way to train soldiers without thinking about you." Liu Bei sincerely praised this time. Although his brother sometimes has subtleties, it is rare to have such a wonderful idea. "Brother, I didn't think of this, it was Zhao Xiaozi who came up with it." Zhang Fei is a straightforward person, so naturally he doesn't want to pretend to be someone else's credit.

"Oh? It's Bo Tao?" Liu Bei looked at Zhao Feng with admiration now. "This subordinate is just thinking wildly for a while, and the specifics are yet to be tested in actual combat." Zhao Feng didn't dare to be too arrogant, and said honestly at the moment, but he couldn't help secretly proud of it: This is the training session described by Shi Naian in "Water Margin". The method is definitely not ordinary, and today's test is really extraordinary, it seems that even Lao Liu, who has been in the field for a long time, was shocked.

"That's not easy!" Liu Bei also liked Zhao Feng's modesty, and then ordered: From now on, each department will conduct this kind of confrontation training at least once a month, and the winner will reward the soldiers with half a catty of wine and half a catty of meat. The winning Yang Xing trilogy became the first batch of beneficiaries, and immediately thanked them.

"Bo Tao, it's really rare for you to come up with such a method of training soldiers. If you have such a wonderful method in the future, you can recommend yourself." Liu Bei added a special sentence at the end.Zhao Feng knew that although he didn't get any substantive awards today, in fact Liu Bei would treat him differently in the future, at least he would not treat himself as an ordinary military commander.

In the following training, the enthusiasm of the soldiers in all units was unprecedentedly high.There is no other reason. Although the honor is false, the wine and meat are real.After each confrontation, those who won did not want to lose, and those who lost did not want to lose again, so they all shouted at each other to train.At the same time, it is precisely in this large-scale confrontation that the cooperation between the soldiers has become more and more tacit. From the chaotic and disorderly desperate struggle at the beginning, to the gradual offensive and defensive order, the division of labor and cooperation, the various ministries The degree of tacit understanding is also increasing day by day.

"It's really good, Bo Tao, your wonderful ideas, combined with my good training method, so that what we have trained is definitely a rare and elite teacher in the world." Zhang Fei Seeing the soldiers under his command practicing in the school field today, every move and every style is much better than before, he can't help being as rough as he is. "Three generals, let's recruit more soldiers next year." Zhao Feng looked at the scene of thousands of people training together, and felt that he was full of pride. No wonder those school leaders in the previous life liked to watch people sit on the radio. Doing the same action together in this way is indeed a spectacular scene!
"That depends on whether there will be a bumper harvest of grain this year!" Zhang Fei is not a brainless person, and knows the importance of grain and grass.Just when the two were chatting vigorously, they saw Yuan Yi hurriedly coming on horseback. The soldier on the horse hurriedly jumped off the horse and ran towards Zhang Fei without waiting for the horse to stop, shouting as he ran: "Three General, something is wrong, the lord has been assassinated!"
