With the idea that "as long as you work hard, you can always learn the breathing method from Ban Dingyuan", Hu Biao planned to leave.
As a result, I don't know what Ban Chao was thinking. He turned around and was stopped by the other party again.
Perhaps Ban Dingyuan felt that his refusal just now was a bit blunt, and he was afraid that it would hurt Hu Duixiu, who had performed unexpectedly well recently and was quite satisfactory to him, that fragile little heart.
After calling Hu Biao, he asked kindly:
"Captain Hu, I see that you speak and do things in a very orderly manner. You don't look like an ordinary farmer's boy. Have you ever read a book or been literate?"
"Ban Sima, when I was young, my family's family background was quite good. However, I studied in the countryside for two years and I can recognize some words."
After Hu Biao heard this, he started telling lies.
But when he heard what Hu Biao said, Ban Chao became obviously interested; the main reason is that people who can read and write these days are much more valuable than those in later generations.
He asked further: "Oh! Does Captain Hu have any confession?"
"I don't have a word. If Ban Sima doesn't mind, I kindly ask you to give me a word." After hearing this, Hu Biao immediately climbed up the pole.
Because in ancient times, only very close elders would help give a cousin a name.
Now that Ban Chao is in his forties, it is reasonable for him to be treated like this by Hu Biao.
If Ban Chao agrees, won't everyone's relationship take a big step forward, and their favorability will skyrocket?
"Fine, I'll give you a nickname." Ban Chao hesitated for a moment, but he readily agreed.
Finally, after lowering his head and thinking for a while, he seemed to have an idea in his mind, and he said: "The ancients said that the sky is the father and the earth is the mother.
Let’s call it unity.”
"Unification, unity, wonderful! Thanks to Ban Sima for giving me the word."
Thinking about this name, Hu Biao, also known as Hu Yitong, is quite meaningful even in the modern dimension, and he quickly thanked...
It's night! Everything is calm and calm.
A group of horse bandits and sand bandits fled, showing no intention of coming back to fight again.
So early in the morning of the next day, under the guidance of an old soldier named Ma San, everyone began to make a big circle to the west, thus embarking on a new route.
Compared with the original route, this road is even more desolate.
But in the following period of time, they did not encounter any other enemies, and they could be considered to have left all the ambushers behind.
During this period of time, a group of rookies who didn't know how to start a business had made considerable progress.
In addition to training, I have become more familiar with battle formation coordination.
Also, when the tender meat on the inner side of the legs is continuously worn out and then healed, and then healed and then worn out again, there is a significant improvement in riding skills.
Although speaking of it, it means being able to trot on a war horse without falling off.
But it also made everyone move forward at a speed that was becoming more and more efficient.
It should be noted that Hu Biao and others only selected part of the 53 horses, weapons and armor captured in the last battle.
Specifically, each person chose a more majestic war horse, which would be used as an auxiliary horse for carrying weapons, armor, and supplies. The war elephants were a little more special, so they directly selected two.
Because she was riding three horses, she could barely keep up with the marching speed of the team.
If more war horses were chosen, they would not be able to sustain themselves with the water they currently carry; the only option would be to remove the saddles and reins and allow them to return to nature.
As for leather armor, each rookie would choose one to wear and a fixed knife as a secondary weapon.
Only the second fat man chose a little more. He selected a total of seven short spears and prepared them in a bag for future spear throwing.
The main reason is that in the last battle, it was proved that this method has a very good effect against lightly armored and unarmored targets.
All the other remaining weapons and armor were dug in a sand pit and buried in a random place to prevent the horse bandits from coming back and putting them to use again.
Anyway, not only Hu Biao and other veterans looked down on these rubbish, but also Han troops such as Gan Ying and Tian Lu also looked down on these poor equipment.
Because the current smelting technology of Han Dynasty is completely crushing the surrounding areas.
Just like the soldiers in World War II who looked down upon the little Japanese tanks at all...
****
In the next few days, Hu Biao and the others trekked through the desert again. Except for the less and less water they carried, everything else was quite normal and smooth.
Perhaps he was thinking of getting enough favorability with Ban Chao earlier.
Then, it was easy to learn some kind of powerful breathing method, so along the way, a group of veterans began to get better.
For example:
A guy like Hu Biao would ask for instructions in the morning and report in the evening. If anything happened in the team, he would report it to Ban Chao and Ban Sima.
He is very loyal and acts like Ban Sima's right-hand man.
In Huang Yizhi's case, every day he changed his method to prepare delicious food for Ban Sima with limited ingredients and even making a fire was difficult.
Fengrui and Ali, even if Ban Sima sneezed, they both wanted to give each other a full body check.
As for other people, they also have their own methods, which allows their subjective initiative to be used quite well.
Although it cannot be said that Guo Xun and Guo Zheng were completely ignored in the entire process, the degree of attention paid to both parties was not at the same level.
In fact, to be honest, these netizens don't seem to have big ideas.
If the gold was confiscated by Ban Chao, they would not say anything; but Guo Xunqian, a historical bastard, dared to steal their gold, which is completely intolerable.
That is to say, because of the mission requirements, they need to protect Guo Zheng, otherwise they would have beaten his sap long ago.
Do you still want to continue to respect him and love him? What a big face he has.
All in all, with the efforts of these guys, the results seem to be quite good.
Because someone like Huang Yizhi would be too embarrassed to open a small stove alone when preparing meals for Ban Sima, so he would always prepare a large pot of food for everyone to eat.
As a result, Gan Ying and others, with their mouths filled with oil, all praised Sergeant Huang for his excellent cooking skills.
Immediately, the relationship between everyone in the team became more harmonious.
Whenever they camped at night, or when they were resting, Hu Biao and other veterans came up to ask for advice on how to use weapons such as divination halberds, ring-headed knives, and bows and arrows. Gan Ying and others also seemed to know everything about them.
Not to mention, if Hu Biao and the others can combine their own combat and training experience, they can gain a lot by verifying it in pairs.
Even in detail, Hu Biao and others could not say what specific gains they had made, but in actual battles, perhaps a glimmer of hope could be gained in a situation where death was inevitable.
The only problem is that even if Hu Biao and the others have tried their best to save water; when camping at night, they even used the "condensation effect" to make some water to replenish it.
As time went by, the water they carried continued to decrease at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, among everyone's water bags, many people only had the last one or two sips of water left.
Even when some rookies had finished drinking the last sip of water in their water bladders, some desolate mountains in front of them were getting closer and closer.
According to the veteran Masanna, you can see a canyon as soon as you reach the foot of the mountain, and you should be able to find the spring in the canyon.
For a moment, I thought that I could finally drink a lot of water happily, instead of just moistening my lips a little every time.
Maybe I could plunge into the cool spring water, take a refreshing bath, and scrub the mud off my body.
Everyone in the team was in high spirits.
Especially the two girls, Ali and Zhan Xiang, their excitement can be seen in their eyes.
In short, everyone in the team is full of unspeakable expectations for the spring, which can be reached in two or three hours at most at the current speed...
