Crown Prince's Counterattack

Outside the western suburbs of the city, the sky just revealed the twilight of sunlight when the sound of clappers in the barracks resounded throughout the camp.

Compared with usual days, today's assembly was extremely early. All the soldiers were fully dressed and rushed to the sandy ground where they usually train.

This group of soldiers was recruited from nearby villages and towns a month ago. Some of them wanted to defend their homes and the country in troubled times, but most of them did so with the food and salaries given by the Li family to support their families.

The atmosphere today is extremely tense. Many soldiers who just arrived were not familiar with the rules. They thought that no one noticed. With a bit of envy and fear.

The news that the eldest son of the Li family came to the military camp yesterday quickly spread throughout the camp. Everyone was a little curious about the noble son of the family, but they were more suspicious. It was obvious that he came to take power, but this Li No one knows whether the eldest son is just based on his family background or is really capable.

However, there are still some people who welcome him. If they want to get ahead, apart from accumulating military merits honestly, there is another way to reach the sky in one step. If they can get the appreciation of Mr. Li, they will definitely have a bright future.

Naturally, Sima Yi couldn't notice the changes in everyone's minds. Looking down from the stage, the team of 3000 people gathered in this huge school grounds seemed rather magnificent.This group of people are mostly illiterate rural farmers who can sell their strength. I heard that the Li family pays high military salaries. Thinking that the family has not been able to solve the problem, and there is more than one male in the family, there are naturally some who are willing to come out and venture out. , put on the armor, naturally there is a fierce spirit, they all look similar, and the adjutants standing next to them all showed satisfied smiles on their faces. After all, they have only trained for less than a month, so it is a good thing to have such morale. Very good, the survival of the fittest in a few more battles, the soldiers who can survive at that time will be the real soldiers of all battles.

"My lord, are you not satisfied?"

The adjutant has been paying attention to the changes in Sima Yi's demeanor, seeing his brows slightly frowned, his thin lips slightly pursed, showing no sign of joy, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy and unhappy.

He had known for a long time that his superiors would send people down, so he put a lot of thought into training the new army, just to please his superiors, but he didn't expect that it was the eldest son who came. He thought he could get into the eyes of the eldest son with this, but he didn't Thinking that this eldest son is only mediocre, he must have shown this expression because he doesn't know much about military affairs. The adjutant felt a little more contempt in his heart, and his expression was more cautious.

Of course Sima Yi was dissatisfied, it didn't matter how others saw it, but if such an army was brought to the battlefield, even if it was a victory, it would be a tragic victory, and all of this was not what Sima Yi wanted.It's not that he's so kind, it's just that looking at the young faces in the audience, maybe he hasn't married and have children yet, it would be a pity if he left his life on the battlefield.

The voice of one or two people is not obvious among thousands of people, but the voice is louder, and the audience seems a little noisy, and the team is not as neat as before. Want to kill yourself?Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by Sima Yi.

"One month from now will be the day when the army will be launched. Within this month, I will train with everyone. I have to remind everyone that this will be a very difficult process, but I believe everyone will benefit from it. A lot, if you sweat a little more on the battlefield, you will shed a drop of blood on the battlefield, so in the end, whether you survive the battlefield after a month or splatter the battlefield with blood depends on your efforts during this month "Sima Yi's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the people standing in front to hear it clearly. It was both a warning and an advice. The atmosphere also quieted down.

Sima Yi didn't say too much. Based on his experience, talking too much is of little use. The key is to see what to do next. This is a challenge to them, but it is not to himself. He has been the emperor of the Qing Dynasty for decades But he didn't have the opportunity to personally lead the troops to touch the real battlefield. His eyes were solemn. This was not a game. He shouldered the lives of himself and the thousands of soldiers behind him.

The training content on the first day was naturally running. After running for a few miles with heavy loads, no matter how strong the man was, he was out of breath. Sima Yi was also sweaty, and he couldn't see the elegance of a nobleman, but everyone looked at him. There is also a little more change.

After running, there was no time to rest. After a hasty lunch, he began to practice moves and line up troops. Before the Dynasty, he also spelled it out step by step from the barracks. The adventures of his youth gave him an unnamed book. Because of his excellent marksmanship, he has the status he has today. Sima Yi sent him out to teach these new recruits.

In the afternoon, Sima Yi didn't have time to train with them. He called all the generals in the camp to discuss the marching route, the situation of food and grass, and the method of attacking the city.

One month passed quickly, and the training of the recruits had somewhat achieved some results. Sima Yi transformed the modern army training methods into the soldiers' daily training. The spirit is also completely different from before January.

Although this kind of training makes people feel very hard, Sima Yi put in a little more effort on the meals in the barracks. Although he spent more, the resentment in the army quickly calmed down. After all, to be a soldier, suffering is not considered What, as long as you eat enough and eat well.But there are always some thorny things that cannot be suppressed no matter what, and they are still active in the army. Sima Yi knew without thinking that some people secretly foreshadowed. When an order was issued, the person died, and not only secretly warned the people behind the attack People, the goal of killing chickens and monkeys has been achieved, and the soldiers looked at Sima Yi with a little more awe.

A month of sharing joys and sorrows allowed Sima Yi to integrate into the barracks, and the soldiers became a little closer to this noble man who didn't have much airs. This was what Sima Yi wanted, but it was far from enough. It's a prestige, but if we really want to gather this team, we need to win a big victory in the next battle.

"Eldest son, I received a letter from the spies yesterday. The second son has allocated a large amount of food and grass in advance, so our food and grass are probably...do you want to delay it for a while?"

The day of the expedition is approaching, but there is a problem with the most important food and grass, and the dynasty's mouth is full of bubbling. He started to persuade Sima Yi to postpone the expedition, and the autumn harvest will soon come, and the food and grass will definitely not be a problem by then.

Sima Yi frowned slightly, obviously this news disrupted his actions, but he had another idea in mind.The expedition should not be postponed any longer. He needed a victory to maintain his status. Although food and grass were a big problem, he always had a solution.

"No, I'll figure it out"

Seeing Sima Yi's resolute face, Dynasty no longer tried to persuade him, but no matter what happened, he always supported the eldest son's decision.

Flags fluttered, gongs and drums sounded, and the wine was sent off. With the sound of wine bowls breaking, the team of thousands of people moved slowly and disappeared into the vast mountains.

"My lord, something happened!"

Dynasty hurried in.

"What happened?"

"Someone just came to report that the soldiers below injured the local people in order to grab food."

When Sima Yi heard this, his face turned ugly.

Most of the grain and grass came from low-cost purchases from farmers. Since he knew that the allocated grain and grass were insufficient, Sima Yi had the idea of ​​buying grain from farmers along the way. This would not delay the march, but also ensure the supply of grain and grass along the way. It is the farmers who are willing to sell grain and grass to them.

"Catch me all!"

Sima Yi felt like gnashing his teeth.

Before marching, Sima Yi issued a strict order, prohibiting the soldiers in the army from robbing the people's property and harassing the houses. I didn't expect that some people would dare to shoot at the muzzle of the gun after repeatedly instructing them. This inevitably made Sima Yi feel a little more suspicious. Even premeditated.

But this is something that will be pursued later, and the most urgent task now is to calm this matter down.The army has traveled all the way with the people without any offense, and has accumulated a lot of good reputation and received a lot of help. Many people are even willing to use the food stored at home to support the army. This is to please the people, so If this matter is not handled well, the next thing will be difficult to handle, and even the previous efforts will be wiped out.

Sima Yi gathered all the soldiers together, Wang Chao pushed the troublemakers up one after another, and knelt down in front of the soldiers.

Sima Yi stepped forward, and a smell of alcohol wafted over. The faces of several people were pale and bloodless. Obviously, they all knew that they had made a typo. You guys, no wonder you dare to drink during the march.Sima Yi dispelled some thoughts in his mind, maybe they were drinking and making trouble at this time, and there were not as many conspiracies as he imagined.

A few people knelt in front of the army, all with pale faces. Even if they were afraid in their hearts, it might not be because of shame. They didn't expect that such a big disaster would be caused by drinking secretly. Seeing the current posture, several people felt a little embarrassed. Bad premonition, it seems that this matter may not be easy to expose.

The scene froze for a moment, and everyone was paying attention to how Sima Yi would deal with these people.
