In early May, the sun shone scorchingly on the earth, and the weeds in the wilderness were dried out by the sun. The forest was lush and lush, with lush branches, cicadas chirping, and occasionally the roar of jackals and tigers.
Although there was a severe drought in the Central Plains in the first year of Yonghan, the mighty Yellow River still flowed turbulently. On the official road west of Pingyuan County, a group of people walked slowly along the official road.
Liu Bei and his men in Qingzhou had just bid farewell to Chen Mu, who was leading his thousand profound armored heavy cavalry towards Luoyang in a mighty manner.
It is a well-known fact that Qingzhou has two thousand mysterious heavy cavalry. Among the four brothers, Liu Bei once thought that it would be more appropriate for each of them to have five hundred as personal bodyguards. This way, evenly distributed, the safety of the four brothers could be protected.
But who are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?
The force value was second only to Lu Bu in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty. He went into battle to kill enemies on weekdays, but he was basically unable to get close to a hundred or eighty people. He didn't feel that he needed protection at all, so he flatly refused, saying that his eldest brother and fourth brother needed Xuanjia more.
Protection of heavy riders.
Liu Bei actually thought so too. After all, although he was not as good as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he still had a force value of over 80. He was a top-notch type among second-rate generals. It was still very difficult for ordinary people to kill him.
But as the boss of Qingzhou Group, he has been assassinated many times. As the saying goes, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. A good tiger cannot fight against many wolves. Even if he is covered with iron, how many nails can he hit?
Therefore, after everyone persuaded him, he had to recruit a thousand people as personal guards. At the same time, the first guard chief was Dian Wei, the second was Zhao Yun, and then Xu Chu.
As for Chen Mu, he has always been surrounded by Ada, Aer, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others as middle-level officers, because before that, the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry had always been a unit. In name, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun had always been their captains of guards, and now
It was replaced by Xu Chu, so Chen Mu had a thousand people but no captain of the bodyguard.
In addition, people like Ada, Aer, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, etc. actually have enough qualifications, but their force value and commanding ability are very average. They can only be regarded as elite soldiers. The captain of the guard of Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry is already at a very high level. His official name is Xuan.
Riding school lieutenant belongs to the category of school lieutenant.
Therefore, there has never been a qualified person on Chen Mu's side to serve as the captain of the black armor heavy cavalry.
But today is a little different. A thousand profound armor heavy cavalry are protecting Chen Mu as he goes west. In the past, Chen Mu was followed by Ah Da, Ah Er, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu. But now there is an extra person beside him who is wearing profound armor and wearing a mask on his face.
The strange man with half of his mask on was just following Chen Mu, and was still ahead of Ah Da, Ah Er and others.
This is the new captain of the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry Guard, named Tao Polu, a three-character, very strange name. Ah Da and Ah Er were convinced by the former Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, but they were not interested in Xu Chu who appeared later.
It's just that Xu Chu stayed by Liu Bei's side, and they didn't have the chance to express their dissatisfaction.
But now Tao Polu appeared standing above them, and everyone was naturally unconvinced. According to their seniority, even if Ah Da, Ah Er, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were not the captains of the bodyguards, they should have someone with the same qualifications as them and a higher force value than them.
, let the person they are convinced to do it.
It would be really shameless to come by just anyone. So everyone held back their energy and walked all the way for two days. After passing Liaocheng, when they rested by Luoshui in Leping, everyone started to get angry.
A group of people were resting on the grass on the river beach. Don't think that cavalry can move very fast. They are heavy cavalry, with one man and two horses. If they have to protect their horse power, their moving speed is basically the same as that of infantry. Seventy miles a day is the limit.
During the journey, Tao Polu had been following Chen Mu. Now when he was taking a break to tend the horses and let them drink water, he had to ask for advice.
At this time, Chen Mu was chatting with Tao Polu about something. In the distance, soldiers led their horses to drink water by the river, and some soldiers gathered around and urged a few people to go over.
Ah Da, Ah Er, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others had already discussed their tactics. Seeing that the time was right, Ah Da came up with a smile and said, "Four generals, this march has been uneventful, and the soldiers have no way to entertain themselves, so they are quite bored.
"
Chen Mu saw what he wanted to do and smiled as if he was having fun: "What, you also want to perform a sword dance for me to entertain me?"
"How dare you?"
Ada looked at Tao Polu and said with a smile: "It's just that the brothers are really bored. They just want to do some martial arts exercises in the army during the break. It happens that Captain Tao is our leader, so he wants the captain to comment and see us.
Brother, do you make any mistakes when performing martial arts on a daily basis?"
Chen Mu smiled and waved his hand: "You go there first, I have something to talk to Captain Tao."
"Four generals..."
"Go quickly, go quickly."
"All right."
Ada reluctantly passed by.
Seeing the state between them, Ju Yi frowned and said, "Is this how you usually deal with them?"
Chen Mu said indifferently: "You and the guards around you must not be too majestic, otherwise it will make them feel that they are no different from ordinary soldiers. We should make them feel that they are superior to ordinary soldiers, so that they can use their lives in the war."
Save your life, isn’t that how you survived in the first place?”
"What you said is correct, but for me, I won't let them be lazy to this extent. If the superiority and inferiority can be different, sooner or later they will think that you are good to them.
It’s a matter of course.”
Ju Yi's pupils shrank, and there was a look of reminiscence in his eyes, as if he remembered the valley where the fire spread. It was the guards around him who protected him, and he was lucky enough to save his life.
"You are right."
Chen Mu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that what Ju Yi said was not unreasonable.
The personal guards must be different from ordinary soldiers. Otherwise, why would the personal guards work for you?
But the general must also have his own majesty. Otherwise, if he is like this in front of his personal guards, how can he be convinced once he commands the three armies?
It's just that Ah Da, Ah Er, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and the others were the 500 veterans who followed Zhuo County when they raised their troops. We have been with them for too long. Unknowingly, they seemed to have become like family members, and their words became unscrupulous.
Instead, they lost the strict hierarchy that should exist in the military.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Do you want me to help you beat these guys?"
Ju Yi smiled.
As a top military training talent in the late Han Dynasty, he still had this confidence.
Chen Mu spread his hands and glanced at Ah Da Ah Er Zhang Long Zhao Hu: "Your opportunity has come. Let's just watch your performance."
"Yes, General Four!"
He bit hard when he said the three words "Four General", and there was clearly a hint of joking in his eyes.
It is true that the Xuanjia heavy cavalry selected the strongest elites in the army, but because they lacked a general to lead the army, they were very lazy, and Chen Mu didn't care about them much. Therefore, people like Ada, Aer, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, etc.
He is very domineering and is considered the leader in the military.
After so many years, apart from being trapped in a camp that they did not dare to provoke, during the occasional military exercises between the three armies, the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry often bullied other armies, causing the entire army to criticize them.
Now that Ju Yi is willing to teach these brats a lesson, Chen Mu is also happy to see this scene, lest they cause trouble again in the future.
Then he saw Ju Yi walking over slowly, with a cold face, and shouted sternly: "Who said you wanted to perform martial arts just now?"
Ah Da was complaining to Ah Er, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and other brothers about the four generals protecting the new captain of the bodyguard. Unexpectedly, Ju Yi came to the door on his own initiative. He felt happy and immediately responded loudly: "Return to the school captain
, it’s me, Zhu Da!”
As he spoke, he also winked at his brother Zhu Er and his good brother Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, indicating that the new Captain Tao had fallen into the trap.
Ju Yi walked up to Ah Da, his cold face suddenly smiled strangely, and said: "Since it is a martial arts performance, it is natural to set up the formation. Except for those who are herding horses over there, everyone who wants to participate in the martial arts performance comes here, and those who do not want to participate
Just stay away.”
"only!"
This was originally a plan designed by a group of people for Ju Yi. Since he was so fooled, he would naturally act according to the plan. The surrounding soldiers smiled and walked away, leaving Ada, Aer, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and more than ten
Middle and lower-level officers such as captains and village commanders who are better at martial arts.
In fact, it stands to reason that Ah Da, Ah Er, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and the others are also veterans in the army. They followed Liu Bei when they were seventeen or eighteen years old. After more than ten years, they are already around thirty and have killed countless enemies in battle. At least they should be more mature, no.
It should be such a child's play.
But they just refused to accept it. In terms of seniority, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were several months older than Dian Wei. When it came to...well, it could only be based on seniority, because they had strong military strength and commanding ability.
No.
Dian Wei and others must be convinced. When Dong Zhuo's camp was breached by the Yellow Turbans, he was like a mainstay and led more than a thousand brothers to hold on to the camp gate. It can be said that he made great achievements in battle.
There is no problem with Zhao Yun. It is true that his qualifications are not as good as theirs. But who can let him kill the generals in front of the battle and also fight against Lu Bu, the best in the world?
Xu Chu and Ju Yi are different. Two airborne captains of guards have no qualifications and no military merit. How can they lead this group of people?
In fact, in the minds of Ah Da Ah Er, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others, Hu Ping was the most suitable person to follow Chen Mu. Hu Ping was originally a Wu'an bandit. After the Luo City thieves were defeated, Liu Bei surrendered them. His qualifications were slightly inferior to them, but he
Their force value and commanding ability are a little higher than theirs, and they have followed Chen Mu for many years. Hu Ping is the captain of the guard, so they feel a little more balanced.
The main reason is that the four of them have the same qualifications and the same military exploits. No one can take it seriously. It will definitely be no problem to push Hu Ping out. Unfortunately, Hu Ping's father Hu Zhi is very old. Hu Ping retired a few years ago and went home to take care of his old father. Last year
Hu Zhi died of illness, and even Hu Yong and Ding You returned home, so it was naturally impossible for Hu Ping to come back.
Someone once suggested that Ah Da should be appointed, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu had no objections, expressing their absolute support for him. However, Ah Da was more loyal, and he was still worried about Zhang Long and Zhao Hu. After all, the four of them were originally on equal footing, and Ah Da suddenly became a bodyguard.
Long, there must be a gap in their hearts.
In this way, the position of captain of the bodyguard beside Chen Mu has always been vacant. Although Ada was embarrassed to serve as the captain of the bodyguard because he took care of his three brothers, he naturally did not want to agree to the parachute landing of someone who was not as good as them in his heart.
In this way, they will definitely take action against the newly emerged Tao Polu. It is definitely not possible to openly disobey military orders. Although they are as close to Chen Mu as family members, doing so really goes against the qualities of a soldier.
When performing martial arts, if the Tao Polu can be defeated in a duel and embarrassed in front of the army, then it is a suitable choice.
Although doing this will offend Tao Polu to death, the military relies on ability. How can you get our respect if you don't have ability? What's more, doing so is within the scope of not violating military rules and is reasonable and reasonable.
Accidental injuries are common in martial arts performances. If you are not as good as others, don't blame others for their powerful attacks.
Therefore, with this idea in mind, everyone decided to give Ju Yi a show of strength.
Chen Mu himself thought about it carefully and realized that Ju Yi was right. Ah Da and Ah Er indeed lacked an excellent leader to lead them. He had other things to deal with and it was impossible to train them all the time.
He is used to allowing them to be free and loose. If a big problem occurs in the future, he will be the one who gets hurt, so he is happy to see this scene.
Everyone pretended to start practicing martial arts, because they had no intention of seriously performing the exercises in the first place. They all performed a few moves with a smile, including grappling, slashing, and wrestling. Ah Da and Ah Er practiced several moves almost in a programmed manner.
Then he shouted to Ju Yi: "Colonel Tao, what do you think?"
Ju Yi only felt a question mark and stood there without saying a word. After a while, he turned to Chen Mu and said, "Is this the world-famous Black Armor Heavy Cavalry?"
Only then did Chen Mu realize the seriousness of the matter. He walked over with his hands behind his back and looked very serious. He looked at Ada, Aer, Zhanglong, Zhaohu and the four of them coldly, staring at them until chills ran down their backs. The scene suddenly became tense.
It became quiet, and everyone who was originally laughing and joking fell into silence, not daring to speak.
"Li Biao!"
"exist!"
"Get the army stick!"
"Four generals..."
"Get the army stick!"
This time Chen Mu didn't tolerate it anymore.
Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry has been his bodyguard for many years and is the guarantee of his life safety.
After all these years, he has never treated them badly.
All military salaries are very high, and their family members are also given land and even property to ensure that they have no worries.
Moreover, people like Ada, Aer, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, etc. are only elite soldiers, but they can serve as mid-level officers, which is comparable to the level of military commanders in the regular army, which is already a very high standard.
He originally thought that they would always be his support in running around the world, but today's performance made him greatly disappointed and extremely angry.
If he doesn't teach them a lesson, if he encounters an emergency in the future and is not careful, he will be the one who dies!
This is not only responsible for their life safety, but most importantly, it is also responsible for your own life safety.
Before Ah Da and others could figure out the situation, Li Biao, the captain in charge of the military discipline of Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry from a distance, had already brought his military sticks. Chen Mu said coldly: "The four of you, each get ten military sticks, and the others,
Five army sticks!”
Li Biao hesitated and said: "Four generals, we still have to ride on horseback..."
Chen Mu shouted: "If we didn't have to ride on horseback, I would have beaten them until they couldn't get out of bed for three days. What are the military discipline officers doing in a daze? Beat them!"
Not daring to disobey, the members of the Military Disciplinary Corps came up and grabbed more than a dozen middle and low-level officers, including Ah Da and Ah Er. They apologized in a low voice, told them to lie down, and then began to beat them with sticks. These people were very tough and did not beg for mercy during the whole process.
, lying down silently and accepting the beating. Once Chen Mu became serious, they would never dare to smile as playfully as before.
After being beaten here, except for most of the soldiers who were still herding their horses in the distance, the surrounding soldiers watched silently and did not speak. Ju Yi looked at these men and just gritted their teeth and accepted it, nodded and said: "No one is dead to the end.
In Zili, there is hope."
Ten sticks is not much, so I finished it quickly.
It was just a skin injury, not to mention they were all brothers, so they used their hands carefully and would not hurt the internal organs. It was just painful, and they all stood up and touched their buttocks, grinning.
After they stood up, Chen Mu said coldly: "Do you know why I beat you?"
Ah Da hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "I know."
"Why did I hit you?"
"Because we, below, should not offend Colonel Tao."
"fart!"
Chen Mu was so angry that he pointed at him and cursed: "I know you are dissatisfied with Captain Tao and want to give him a blow. But since it is a martial arts show, give me a good beating. Each one of you will use your fists and legs to practice sparring with my grandma.
Even though you are better than you, you still have the nerve to show off to Captain Tao? I feel embarrassed!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Only then did they understand that the reason why the four generals suddenly lost their temper was not because they wanted to discredit Tao Polu, but because of their training attitude.
Although the hierarchy in the army is strict, the army also relies on its ability to make a living. If you can fight or lead troops, everyone is willing to obey. After all, when you go to the battlefield, you are risking your own life, and everyone is afraid.
When you meet a useless Shangguan, take them to die.
So it doesn't matter if you go and test the Shangguan's abilities. As long as the Shangguan is confident and capable, he won't be afraid that he won't be able to convince you.
The problem is that even if you want to test him with an excuse or give him a blow, you should at least be more serious. You can't joke about martial arts in the military. Everyone has a playful and smiling face, like an old lady sitting on a stake. Not to mention that Chen Mu is irritating.
Ju Yi, the newly appointed captain of the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, felt that the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry was not worthy of its name.
In fact, it is because Chen Mu has been too busy these years and has no time to take care of the guards around him. Secondly, they do lack a commander who can supervise them properly, and people like Ada, Aer, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, etc. do not have the ability to command troops.
As brothers, he was not strict with them, causing the soldiers to become more and more lazy.
After all, training does not rely on self-consciousness, but strict discipline and supervision. When Dian Wei and Zhao Yun were there, the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry was indeed the best in the world, but it has not fought much in the past few years.
In addition, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun were away, so it was normal for them to relax.
Hearing Chen Mu's words, Ada, Aer, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others lowered their heads in shame. Ju Yi smiled and said: "At least you can still obey the punishment and endure the pain without shouting. There is still rescue, come, come, come.
Aren't you going to test my abilities? Who goes first?"
This is a straightforward procedure.
Everyone took pictures of Chen Mu's anger just now, and none of them dared to come up.
Chen Mu felt that his blood pressure was about to rise, and shouted: "Are you all deaf? Captain Tao asked you to go up, didn't you hear?"
"I'll go first!"
At that moment, a warrior came up with empty hands and shouted: "I'm here to compete with the captain in wrestling, Captain Tao, be careful."
Ju Yi didn't even take off his armor. He clapped his hands and said happily: "Come on!"
Seeing that he was so confident, the man immediately found the opportunity to come.
As we all know in wrestling, wearing armor with sharp edges and corners is not only bulky, but also gives the enemy a fulcrum, making it easy for them to find a flaw and knock them down.
But who is Ju Yi?
He is a Xiliang man with tough folk customs and is proficient in Qiang people's fighting methods. Ordinary soldiers are still too far behind to cause trouble for him.
I saw the warrior coming up to find an angle, and was about to hug him. Unexpectedly, Ju Yi made a roundabout step and came to his side instead. He hooked his feet slightly, and then stirred again without even touching his body.
, and threw the warrior to the ground.
Seeing that the soldier who was the best at wrestling in the army was knocked over, another man came up, raised the big sword in his hand and said: "I'm here to compete with the captain in swordsmanship. Swords don't have eyes. If I hurt the captain, please forgive me."
Ju Yi pulled out the knife from his waist, and the blade showed its cold light. He hooked his finger at the man and motioned for him to come forward.
The man raised his knife and struck.
The clinker Ju Yi blocked it with his sword, then pushed hard to the left, and hit the soldier's face hard with his right elbow, knocking him to the ground. When the soldier tried to get up again, the tip of the knife was already pinched
under his neck.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As a brave person who once killed Gongsun Zan's general Yan Gang, Ju Yi may not be as powerful as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but he is still at the level of a second-rate general and an ordinary elite soldier.
, is really no match.
If there were one or two, there would naturally be three or four. Soon everyone came up one by one. Even Ju Yi was not satisfied and asked everyone to form a battle formation in twos and threes and come forward to compete.
As expected, he knocked down one of them, knocked down two of them, and defeated three of them very quickly.
For a moment, the ground was full of soldiers who had been beaten down by him, leaving everyone around stunned and speechless.
"Are you convinced?"
Ju Yi stared at them with a pair of big cannibal eyes.
Ah Da, Ah Er, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others did not go up. Their butts were sore from the beatings, so it would be difficult for them to perform if they went up.
But no matter how stupid they are, they should know that with their abilities, they are definitely not capable of dealing with so many soldiers. They knocked everyone over when they attacked, and they were no match for them in groups. They obviously kicked the steel plate.
For a while, no one dared to offend, and said calmly: "I've accepted it."
"Just take it!"
Ju Yi looked around at the crowd and suddenly grinned, showing his big, formidable white teeth: "The whole army listened to the order, a team of five hundred people, leading horses and riding, galloping for twenty miles. The other five hundred people wore armor and hurried forward, running forward, following
Don’t fall behind after a horse. If you fall behind, you will perish! Do you hear me?”
"ah???"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They are heavy cavalry, so their armor weighs more than ten kilograms.
Weight-bearing training is commonplace and a piece of cake for the people's troops of later generations. It is also commonplace for the Qingzhou Army, because this is a training plan formulated by Chen Mu to train more elite soldiers.
If you are trapped in the camp, let alone twenty miles, even fifty miles, it will be a piece of cake.
But there is still that problem. Because there is no one to supervise them, Black Armor Heavy Cavalry often don’t pay much attention to their daily training. To put it simply, they have been neglected for a long time and their physical strength is even worse.
Now that he suddenly starts running forward, many people may not be able to bear it.
However, when he gave someone a blow, he was given a blow in return. Now that he was convinced, he had to obey orders no matter what. There were so many military orders that everyone had no choice but to obey them and began a journey of torture!
Chen Mu watched everyone suffer at the hands of Ju Yi, without any sympathy or intention to help them explain.
Again, soldiers must have the attitude of being a soldier. If they continue to neglect training because they have no time and no one to lead them, there will definitely be big problems in the future.
Not long ago, Yuan Shao actually ordered all Ju Yi's family to be executed. Except for the eldest son who served his grandfather in his hometown in Xiliang, none of his wives, concubines and other children survived.
This made Ju Yi full of hatred for Yuan Shao, and surrendered to Qingzhou, vowing to make Yuan Shao pay for his blood debt.
It just so happened that Chen Mu also needed Ju Yi to train troops for Qingzhou. Both parties took what they needed and hit it off immediately. It would not be a bad thing to start with Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry now, just to see his ability in training troops.
