Wu Zheng smiled and said, "So this is stir-fried vegetables. Isn't it worth a lot of money?"

Su Fei waved his hand, "No matter what the price is, it's going to be eaten anyway..."

"Hahaha...that's right!" Li Zhu is also a free and easy person.

Due to the limited space, the three of them did not share meals, but adopted a shared meal system that was rare in this era.

"Come on, come on... Let's have a drink first!" Su Fei took the initiative to pour a small glass of wine for the two of them.

At this time, Li Zhu had doubts in his heart, "Is Su Jun's wine available on the market?"

Su Fei shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it... let's try this braised pork... This is your favorite thing..."

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Why do you know what your prince likes to eat?"

While talking, he put a piece of meat into his mouth.

Then his eyes lit up, "This meat is actually sweet. How much sugar was put in it?"

While Li Zhu was enjoying the delicious food and wine, he became suspicious of Su Fei's identity.

…

In the Yunyang Hou Mansion in Luntai, Zhang Yue was also dining with the two ladies.

After the meal, the second wife, Princess Yutian, asked, "Alang, my brother has been naughty since he was a child. I hope you will bear with me this time when I join the army..."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he smiled and said, "No need to worry, Xiaojun. Ah Fei performed well this time. The Qianniu Guards came to report yesterday, and now that boy was lucky enough to make friends with two heroes..."

Princess Khotan heard this and said with surprise, "Anyone who can be called a hero by Alang must be an extraordinary person..."

Princess Shache also said with envy at this time, "It seems that A Fei has grown up too. I really envy my sister..."

Princess Khotan smiled and said, "In a few years, A Fei will also be your brother after marrying the fourth princess..."

When Princess Shache heard this, she smiled and said, "Yes, yes..."

Zhang Yue said, "I want A Fei to join Liu Yi's army after the new recruit training is over. What do you two think?"

When the two women heard this, they both said happily, "This is so good!"

Zhang Yue was about to speak but hesitated at this time.

According to the news from Qianniuwei and Sogdian caravans, the Kangju people and Dawan people have been in frequent contact with the Xiongnu recently.

It's not necessarily a good thing for A Fei to go to Yarkand right now. It's not necessarily a bad thing to catch up with the war, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. In this age of great strife, it's not a bad thing to see war early.

But seeing the two girls enjoying themselves, Zhang Yue didn't want to spoil the fun.

After the meal, Zhang Yue took his whole family out for another trip.

…

On the other side, Su Fei and the other three were so drunk that they fell to the ground and slept all night.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for other soldiers to return to the camp and wake up the three of them.

On the second day, Wu Zheng and others started new training.

But this time, I started to practice adding weapons.

Considering that Su Fei and Wu Zheng have different personalities and skills.

Li Zhu re-divided the entire village into two teams, Wu Zheng was responsible for crossbow training, and Su Fei was responsible for close combat training.

The two teams took turns, training crossbows in the morning and melee combat in the afternoon.

In the morning, I trained on melee combat, and in the afternoon, I trained on crossbows.

Because there has not yet been a division of arms, all soldiers must undergo crossbow and melee training at the same time.

In addition to the necessary sword skills, the rest require different training according to different types of arms.

After training like this for seven days, Li Zhu finally distributed the actual combat weapons.

After getting the real weapons, everyone was very happy and started making gestures one after another.

According to these seven days of training, half of the soldiers received crossbows and Huanshou swords, and half of the soldiers received spears and Huanshou swords.

The main battle weapon Wu Zheng received was naturally a bow, but what Su Fei received was a spear.

However, the two of them had one more cavalry ring-headed sword than ordinary soldiers.

"Wu Jun is showing off his skills to everyone..." Su Fei shouted loudly.

Seeing the excitement, the soldiers on the side also started making noises.

Seeing that Wu Zheng couldn't shirk it, he smiled and said, "Okay, but Su Jundang has to show his hands..."

Su Fei waved his hand carelessly, "Yes!"

The surrounding soldiers were happy when they heard what the two said, and immediately helped them lay out their utensils.

What Wu Zheng showed to everyone was naturally his archery skills.

It has to be said that Wu Zheng is quite talented in this area.

His shots on foot and on horseback all hit the mark, drawing bursts of cheers.

Su Fei's eyes suddenly turned and he said, "Wu Jun is a eagle shooter, why not shoot an eagle for fun..."

Wu Zheng also let go at this time, "Then try..."

Perhaps there were too many people in the training venue, but unfortunately after waiting for a long time, no eagles were seen flying by, so everyone had to give up.

"Su Fei, it's time for you to show off your skills to the second and third sons?" Wu Zheng put away his bow and arrows and said.

Su Fei smiled, got on his horse, and showed off his riding skills to everyone.

Finally, at the request of everyone, he also showed off his skills of charging and slashing immediately.

The technical level displayed by the two men was far superior to that of the other soldiers, which also convinced the new recruits to admire them.

When the two of them continued to assist Li Zhu in training, things went much more smoothly.

Cold weapon warfare is mainly based on phalanx combat. Tens of thousands of spears are poking at you, and tens of thousands of spears are stabbing you away. There is no room for dodge at all.

Therefore, for soldiers, the more complicated and fancy it is, the faster they will die. The ranger's approach on the battlefield is to seek death.

After so many years of development, the training methods of the Han Army in the Western Regions have not changed much.

When the soldiers practiced spears, they still only practiced one move, "stab". They were asked to practice "stab" repeatedly every day until their movements became standard, fast, and conditioned reflexes.

As for practicing swordsmanship, there is also only one move, which is to raise the sword to slash diagonally. The movement of raising the sword also needs to be standard, and the angle of the sword slashing action is also strictly regulated!

As time passed, the weather became colder and colder. After training in the previous period, the soldiers finally had a certain combat effectiveness.

In Li Zhu's words, although they are far inferior to the veterans of the Western Regions, they are not much different from the county soldiers in Neijun.

…

In the blink of an eye, the first snow of the year arrived.

Because of the heavy snow, the soldiers' training was temporarily suspended.

"Why did winter come so early this year? I'm afraid there will be a white disaster on the grassland!"

That day Pan Hong looked at the north and couldn't help but talk to himself.

Pan Hong's words reminded Zhang Yue that if winter comes earlier, food on the grassland will definitely be scarcer.

Judging from past experience, in this case, the possibility of harassment by the Huns or other grassland peoples will also be greatly increased.

In order to take a comprehensive approach, Zhang Yue ordered increased patrols and vigilance in the northern region.

However, this year, the Huns had no intention of attacking the Han army in the Western Regions.

On the contrary, the Wusun people suffered a lot of losses.

Due to lack of food, the Xiongnu tribes who moved westward continued to enter the Wusun people's territory to clear grass and valleys.

All the Wusun tribes were in unspeakable misery, and the princes of each tribe reported their losses to Weng Guimi one after another and asked for support.

Facing this situation, Weng Guimi couldn't help but think of what Cai Ting said in the past.

Princess Jieyou also blew the wind from time to time, which made everyone in Wusun wary of the Huns.
