Early the next morning, Wang Ding appeared at the school grounds.
Zhang Yu and Chen Shan have also led a team of forty people, lined up in four rows, and stood neatly in the school field.
There were hundreds of people standing crookedly on the other side, looking out of place with the forty people.
Wang Ding was slightly surprised.
The Han army is not completely rotten now, but that also depends on who is the commander-in-chief.
Although the troops stationed at this city gate are not rotten to the core, most of the soldiers are just eating and waiting to die.
Usually, they open and close the city gates, and patrol and stand guard at the city gates and walls.
Wang Ding asked Zhang Yu and Chen Shan to take a team of 40 people to train first.
He came before hundreds of others.
"I'm glad that you haven't given up completely yet. I want to know why you want to be soldiers?"
Wang Ding's voice was sonorous and powerful. The training during this period of time had already worn away the scholarly atmosphere in his life.
Now he is a tough and bloody soldier in the army.
"Tell me." Wang Ding pointed to a soldier in front of him.
The soldier was a little embarrassed, but still said: "For food and pay."
Laughter came from behind, and Wang Ding pointed at another person and said, "What about you?"
"I can't survive outside."
Wang Ding asked them one by one.
There are no broad answers. Most people just do it for food and salary.
Including those laughing in the background.
They are just the most ordinary soldiers, and their families are also the most ordinary people.
Others were forcibly recruited.
Soldiers are often forced to join the army, not what they want.
This is somewhat different from what Wang Ding thought.
But it doesn't matter, he's not nervous.
Wang Ding said loudly to them: "No matter what the reason is for you to come here, what I want to say is, do you want to change? Do you want your parents to live a better life? Do you want to marry a lovely wife? You guys
Do you want your son to have enough food and clothing in the future?
If you are in this army and just waste your time just for a little food and pay every day, you will have nothing when you leave here in a few years.
Even the few acres of thin farmland originally owned by my family have become someone else’s.
Now that you are here, don’t you want to make great achievements, don’t you want to become a general and a marquis?
Maybe you think it’s impossible.
Wei Qing, do you know? He was originally just a groom, worse than many of you, but in the end he became a general.
The groom can do it, why can't you.
If you haven’t tried, worked hard, or fought hard, why do you think you can’t do it?
How do you think you compare with the 40 of them?
They were just like you before, but now it's only been two months. I dare say that none of you can compare to them.
In two months, they are already ahead of you, and they are on their way to success.
Those who want to change their destiny, those who want to be granted the title of general, all come with me."
Wang Ding looked at the more than 500 soldiers in front of him and felt that it was almost done.
His current level is just like this. If he talks more, he is afraid that the morale of these soldiers will fall instead of rising.
That’s all for today. As long as they are willing to follow the training, their thoughts can slowly change, not overnight.
Among the more than five hundred people, some were excited by what Wang Ding said, but others were unmoved.
They came today just to take a look and wait and see.
However, when Wang Ding took the lead in running, five hundred people were still following behind, and no one had fallen behind yet.
As for the other two thousand people, some have not gotten up yet, while others are already standing on the city wall.
Many of them were dissatisfied with Wang Ding because of his age and the changes he had made since his arrival.
It was easy at first. They only needed to open the city gate every morning and close it at night, and patrol the city gate during the period.
Also, he was encouraged by several military princes and was unwilling to cooperate with Wang Ding.
After Wang Ding led more than 500 people to train for several days, some more people joined during the period.
In the end, there were thousands of soldiers willing to train with Wang Ding.
Running around Chang'an City every day has become a sight in the eyes of many people.
Every day, Xiliang troops came specially to watch the show.
That's right, I just came to watch the show and laugh at Wang Ding.
Wang Ding doesn't care about the ridicule of these Xiliang soldiers.
His current goal is to train his three thousand soldiers.
These people may be the sharp knives to deal with Dong Zhuo in the future.
In order not to be suspected by Dong Zhuo, Wang Ding did not deal with those military princes and village chiefs who disobeyed his orders.
Just remember their names.
A city gate garrison that is not under his complete control may make Dong Zhuo feel more at ease.
During this period, Wang Ding also made chess and mahjong, presented them to Dong Zhuo, and taught Dong Zhuo how to play.
It is said that Dong Zhuo quickly became addicted to the world of mahjong and had to rub his concubine for three or four hours every day.
Let Dong Zhuo indulge in pleasure, and Dong Zhuo, who was already low on energy, gradually no longer cared about what happened in Chang'an.
Moreover, during this period of time, Dong Zhuo did not encounter any assassination attempts by dead soldiers.
Lu Bu also got free time and didn't have to be with Dong Zhuo all the time.
However, when Dong Zhuo occasionally went out, he was still very vigilant. He always wore inner armor under his coat, and asked Lu Bu to accompany him. There were five hundred soldiers in front and behind, surrounding Dong Zhuo in the center.
No chance is given to possible assassins.
Of the 3,000 men stationed at the city gate, 2,000 were finally willing to train with Wang Ding.
Before every day's training, Wang Ding would instill in them the idea of protecting their homeland and country, as well as becoming marquises and generals.
As for those who were unwilling to come for training, Wang Ding asked them to be responsible for opening and closing the city gate.
Wang Ding ignored the military princes and village chiefs, they just did whatever they wanted.
However, the two thousand people who trained with Wang Ding became more and more convinced of Wang Ding, and their daily training also changed their spirit.
Now compared with the other thousand people, there is a clear difference.
Gao Shun took the time to watch it once and felt that Wang Ding's training results were very good.
The dock outside Chang'an City is almost completed.
Dong Zhuo has already begun arranging soldiers to transport food to Xiwu.
He wants to store enough food in the shed to feed ten thousand people for thirty years.
Wang Ding's hundred-man team hiding in the manor outside the city also increased to 500.
These people are elites who absolutely obey Wang Ding's orders, and they are also Wang Ding's trump cards.
If he can't, he won't be able to convince Lu Bu in the end, and when he finally kills Dong Zhuo, he can only rely on these five hundred elites.
Wang Ding returned to the Wang family, met Wang Yun, and discussed with Wang Yun how to instigate Lu Bu's rebellion.
When Dong Zhuo travels, he must take Lü Bu with him. If he wants to kill Dong Zhuo, he cannot go around Lü Bu.
Either incite rebellion against Lu Bu and let Lu Bu kill Dong Zhuo.
Or we have to kill Lu Bu too.
Over the past few months, the Wang family and his son had gained Dong Zhuo's trust. However, when they met Dong Zhuo, there were other people around them.
In the end, Wang Yun decided to find an opportunity to persuade Lu Bu personally.
