Chapter 195 The word Chongye is given and the army is available
Mi Yang looked at Ding Feng and asked, "Do you really want to go out for training?"
Ding Feng, who had a look of yearning on his face and was constantly looking outside the tent, suddenly saw Mi Yang looking at him and asking this question, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face.
The Ding brothers were born in poverty, but perhaps it was because of their poor background that Ding Feng was not afraid of death after joining the army, thinking of using his life to fight for a way out in the army.
Under the influence of his elder brother Ding Feng, Ding Feng's dream since childhood was to become a fierce general and fight on the battlefield.
After Ding Feng was taken into Mi Yang's account and became a pro-soldier, as Mi Yang's pro-soldier, he had the best food, armor and other treatment in the entire army.
The rest of the soldiers could only get a little bit of minced meat in seven days, but as Mi Yang's personal soldier, he could get a small piece of meat in seven days.
This kind of life in the heart of Ding Feng, who grew up in hardship, is no longer the same as before.
But Ding Feng was influenced by Ding Feng, and his character was restless.
He doesn't like a life that is too easy. He wants to fight on the battlefield through his own efforts and achieve higher achievements for himself.
It was this mentality that caused his mind to be drawn involuntarily when he heard the sound of the army training outside the tent.
Facing Mi Yang's inquiry, Ding Feng did not hesitate. He bowed to Mi Yang and replied: "Wei."
Seeing Ding Feng answer his inner thoughts calmly, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.
As a general, Mi Yang was very happy to have people under his command who dared to fight.
He could also understand that Ding Feng's thoughts must have been greatly influenced by his brother Ding Feng.
Then Mi Yang continued to ask Ding Feng: "Your brother's name is Chengyuan, what is your cousin's name?"
Before, Mi Yang's eyes had been on Ding Feng, but she had somewhat ignored Ding Feng.
The reason why he put Ding Feng into his own army was not to contain Ding Feng.
When Mi Yang asked about his cousin's name, Ding Feng's face showed embarrassment.
When Mi Yang asked him if he wanted to go out for training just now, Ding Feng answered Mi Yang decisively, but now that Mi Yang asked about his cousin, he hesitated.
After hesitating for a while, Ding Feng finally replied: "Subordinate, I don't have any words to express at the moment."
When Ding Feng said this, a look of surprise flashed across Mi Yang's face.
No wonder Ding Feng had a look of embarrassment on his face just now when he asked him his cousin's name.
Biaozi is very important to a person in this world.
"Book of Rites: Qu Lishang" says: "For a man in his twenties, his hairpin is the name of his wife. ... If a woman is to be married, her hairpin is the name of her hairpin."
It is inconvenient for a Han man to call him by his first name after the crowning ceremony. Therefore, he chooses another alias that is related to the meaning of his real name and calls it a character to express his virtue.
When people call each other respectfully, they must call them virtuous words.
Having a cousin is the most important rite of passage for a man in this world, and it is also an important symbol of respect for others.
However, not everyone can obtain the name, such as those who come from poor backgrounds.
For example, Wang An, Gan Gao.
According to the world's concept, if you don't have a nickname after you become an adult, it will really make you feel embarrassed to express yourself.
Because this is a sign that you are not taken seriously by others.
Historically, Ding Feng's name was not recorded in the history books of the State of Wu, and Mi Yang originally thought it was omitted.
But now that I think about it, Ding Feng later became a general and was granted the title of Marquis of Xuancheng. Facing such an important figure, there is a high probability that he was not missed. Therefore, it is very possible that Ding Feng did not obtain the title until his death.
This is not surprising.
Biaozi is very important to a person in this world, but not everyone is qualified to have Biaozi.
And this qualification does not depend on the identity of the person whose name is taken, but the identity of the person who takes the name.
People who come from poor backgrounds are certainly qualified to take the name Biao.
But you must find a respected elder or someone who is famous in the world to represent you.
Otherwise, you will be considered as a fool and not recognized by the world.
For example, Deng Ai represented himself as Shizai. At first, he was ridiculed because of this.
When Ding Feng saw that he had no words to express, a look of surprise appeared on Mi Yang's face, and the look of shame on his face became even stronger.
He and his brother Ding Feng grew up in Hanwei. When they were in the countryside, they didn't know any respectable elders.
This also makes the Ding brothers always feel ashamed.
After all, there is no name, so when you are called by someone in this world, you have to be called by his first name. This is an act of contempt and humiliation.
Of course, the Ding brothers can also choose a cousin name for themselves and then falsely claim that it was given by a respected elder. This is also a method.
But the Ding brothers were brave enough to disdain this method.
What they thought was that since they had no alias, they would use the meritorious act of killing generals and seizing flags so that the famous generals in the world would have aliases for them.
Later, Ding Feng's elder brother Ding Feng often killed generals and captured flags. He was brave and fearless of death, and was appreciated by the original owner Gan Ning for his military exploits.
With Ding Feng's pleading, he successfully obtained the pseudonym "Chengyuan".
As for Ding Feng's previous military exploits, he was not as great as Ding Feng, so he never had the opportunity to obtain a title.
In desperation, he could only continue to wait for the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
This is also the reason why Ding Feng yearns to fight on the battlefield.
Seeing the embarrassed and ashamed expression on Ding Feng's face, Mi Yang expressed her understanding.
Then a thought came into his mind. Mi Yang looked at Ding Fengyan and said, "Since you don't have a confession at the moment, how about I give you one?"
Mi Yang's questioning tone fell on Ding Feng's ears like the sound of nature.
The Mi Yang in front of him is a famous general in the world, and he is also a student of a famous family in Guanzhong. Such a person is certainly qualified to give him a nickname.
Moreover, the more famous a person's nickname is, the more people will pay attention to this person after learning the origin of the nickname.
For example, Mi Yang's name and surname were chosen by Liu Bei himself.
Because of Liu Bei's reputation, no matter how hostile some people were to Mi Yang, when calling Mi Yang, they would at most just call him "Mi Zisheng" instead of scolding him behind his back with some overly insulting words.
This is the unique Chinese character culture of our time.
Well, except Sun Quan
And Mi Yang's move of wanting to give him a cousin name is undoubtedly a sign of love.
Facing Mi Yang's love, a look of joy appeared on Ding Feng's face. He immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Mi Yang and said, "Please give me your words, general."
Looking at Ding Feng kneeling in front of him, Mi Yang's brain started to work.
The name cannot be chosen randomly. The name must have a similar or opposite meaning to the person's name, or the name must be taken from classics and historical books.
In today's world, the word "feng" has many meanings, the most well-known of which is the meaning of a reward.
Thinking of this, Mi Yang said to Ding Fengyan: "From today on, you will show your respect for industry."
Advocate: It means prosperity
Industry: meaning of meritorious service
Therefore, the meaning of Chongye is the hope that Ding Feng will achieve more and more achievements in the future, and finally achieve the result of being rewarded by the monarch.
This is Mi Yang's blessing for Ding Feng, and it can also echo Ding Feng's name.
After Mi Yang took out the cousin name for Ding Feng, Ding Feng kept mumbling the word "Chongye" in his mouth. The more he murmured, the happier he felt.
From then on, he also had a word, and the word had a very good meaning and was in line with his aspirations.
After receiving the letter, Ding Feng quickly kowtowed to Mi Yang and thanked Mi Yang incessantly.
From now on, he will no longer be called by his first name, and his given name was chosen by Mi Yang, so it will be more honorable to say it out.
Seeing Ding Feng kneeling in front of him and kowtowing, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.
People in this era are sometimes easily satisfied.
For example, Ding Feng would be so excited that he couldn't contain himself just after getting a word.
For example, the army under his command only had minced meat to eat for seven days, so they were extremely grateful to him.
This is a kind of helplessness in this era, but sometimes it becomes Mi Yang's weapon to win people's hearts.
Mi Yang asked Ding Feng to stand up, and after Ding Feng stood up, he looked at Mi Yang with extremely grateful eyes.
Mi Yang gave him the word, which was a kind of kindness. Under this kind of kindness, Ding Feng's sense of belonging to Mi Yang was greatly strengthened.
When the rest of the guards in the tent saw that Ding Feng had received a cousin from Mi Yang, their faces showed more or less envy.
For example, if Gan Ning had not died, Ding Feng would not have surrendered to Mi Yang, but would have tried his best to return to Gan Ning.
Because in a sense, Ding Feng is now Mi Yang's "disciple and old friend" just like Ding Feng back then.
After Ding Feng stood up, Mi Yang also stood up from the general's seat, and then led Ding Feng and his bodyguards towards the outside of the tent.
After arriving outside the big tent and standing high on the platform, Mi Yang and his party saw thousands of soldiers training enthusiastically below.
From Mi Yang's gaze, he could see that in the vast river valley below, thousands of troops had been divided into two distinct armies.
In the center of both armies, there is a general tent where Meng Da and Zhang Yi stand respectively.
Where the two generals Meng Da and Zhang Yi were, there were countless banners and golden drums.
On their left stood spearmen, on their right stood large swordsmen, and at the front of the formation were groups of shield warriors.
Behind the shield warrior were thousands of crossbowmen who had been ready for battle.
The two battalions of troops in formation below seemed to be aware of Mi Yang's appearance on the stage. Meng Da, who was in the left camp, took the lead in waving the command flag in his hand in order to show off in front of Mi Yang.
With the command flag in Mengda's hand waving, all the generals in his army noticed this move, so the generals at all levels reminded the soldiers in each column to be ready.
Soon after, Meng Da ordered the drummer beside him to beat the drum of attack.
When the drums sounded behind them, Mengda's battalion of three thousand troops began to advance.
Zhang Ni on the opposite side saw Meng Da's preemptive move. He was not nervous. Under his command, the army on his side also began to attack forward.
When a drum sounded on Mengda's side, the general beside him immediately raised the green flag in his hand.
After the generals and colonels at all levels saw the cyan flag, they immediately raised the cyan flag in their hands.
After the three thousand troops saw the cyan flag, they immediately changed their formation into a straight military formation.
When Zhang Ni on the opposite side saw Meng Da forming a straight formation, he immediately ordered the drummer next to him to beat the war drum twice.
After two war drums sounded, the flag bearer beside him raised the red flag, and the formation of the army on his side turned into a triangle-like arrow array.
Many pikemen stood in front of the arrow formation as arrows.
Under the command of their respective commanders' flags, the two armies transformed into different formations and collided fiercely.
Although it was training, both armies were armed with edgeless weapons.
But even so, it was very painful to be hit hard by the soldiers on the opposite side with wooden weapons.
Because of Zhang Yi's proper formation, when the formations of the two armies began to collide, Meng Da's army felt defeated.
As a veteran, Meng Da couldn't help snorting when he saw this scene.
Mi Yang was watching from the side. If he lost again today, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
So Mengda started to change his formation again.
After Meng Da's order, the general next to him beat the war drum to the rhythm of three times in succession.
After hearing the drum sound of this specific frequency, the flag bearers in Mengda's military formation raised yellow flags one after another.
Under the guidance of the yellow flag, Meng Da's army began to form a square formation.
Although the two armies were connected at this time, the change of formation seemed a bit hasty.
However, under the strict military orders and many days of training, there were still many soldiers who had not started to confront the enemy on the opposite side and changed their formation into a square formation.
Because due to Meng Da's timely change of formation, Zhang Ni's arrow formation was divided by the square formation set up by some of Meng Da's soldiers, forming a Broken Arrow formation where the left and right sides could not look at each other.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi did not panic.
He calmly ordered the general beside him to beat four high-pitched drums.
Under the guidance of four drums, Zhang Yi, the general in the military formation, raised white flags one after another.
After seeing the white flag, the soldiers under Zhang Yi followed the trend of being divided and formed into circular formations to resist the continued division and outflanking of Meng Da's army.
Under the resistance of the circular formation, Meng Da's army was still unable to completely defeat Zhang Yi's army, which had been divided by him.
When Meng Da saw this, he was a little anxious. He immediately beat the war drum himself, and the war drum made five consecutive beats.
This powerful drumbeat made the generals in his army raise black flags one after another.
After Meng Da's soldiers saw the black flag, they immediately organized their formations into scattered military formations and attacked every circular formation of Zhang Yi's army.
Meng Da's move made Zhang Ni smile.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly commanded the army in front of him and formed the long snake formation that Meng Da had just formed.
The military formation of Zhang Yi's army was originally a circular formation relying on each other.
When they began to turn into a long snake formation, each circular formation was like a poisonous snake wrapping its body and began to straighten its body, completely collapsing the scattered military formations in Meng Da's army.
There are only the above five basic formations in the world, but these five basic formations can be repeatedly converted into new formations under the command of different generals.
And at each different stage, the effects brought about by using different formations are completely different.
After the formation of Meng Da's army was completely divided, it was suppressed and beaten by Zhang Ni's army.
The sound of wooden sticks hitting the body was heard far away in the ears of Mi Yang's people on the high platform.
Because of the protection of the armor, hitting the body with a wooden stick may not cause much damage, but the physical pain will not be less.
Seeing Meng Da's side being defeated by Zhang Yi's side again, Mi Yang did not stop immediately.
On the training ground, failure will hurt. On the battlefield, failure will kill you.
There must be no lack of lessons that should be learned.
I just watched the two armies form formations today. Although I saw the Mengda side suffer a disastrous defeat, the Mengda side was defeated because of their command. In terms of the execution of orders and prohibitions and the unification of orders, both armies did a good job.
This made Mi Yang have an idea in his mind: the army is available.
