In the second year of Xingping, in June of 195 AD, Yang Lei looked at the army at the foot of the mountain and felt at ease. There were more than 10,000 people, and there was no end to it. This sentence was absolutely reasonable. The soldiers were training under the leadership of their own station commanders. Some of the stations were even fighting against each other. As for the rewards and punishments for winning or losing, they would decide on their own. In more than half a year, Yang Lei had already trained a troop of elite soldiers. What was even rarer was that he managed to turn Nine Mile Mountain into a fortress. Although this mountain was not tall and its circumference was not large, with this mountain, the northwest gate of Xu Prefecture was firmly in his hands. Looking at the stronghold on the mountain and the drill ground at the foot of the mountain, there were numerous archer towers, all of which were soaked in Yang Lei's blood and sweat. In the past half a year, Yang Lei's riding skills and archery skills had improved rapidly. Of course, this had a lot to do with a certain person. He was here again, and his voice could be heard from afar."Yuting, come, come, let's fight another 300 rounds.”It was none other than Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide.
As the saying went,'friends don't get to know each other without fighting.' At the very least, this saying was true for them. Ever since he was beaten up, Zhang Fei had frequently come to the military camp of Nine Mile Mountain to challenge Yang Lei. Of course, if Zhang Fei, who had been beaten up by Bu Zhan, wanted to take revenge, he would pick Yang Lei's weakest Ma Zhan. Everyone could imagine the result at the beginning. Yang Lei was swept off his horse in one round, and in return, Zhang Fei laughed maniacally. Yang Lei was very dissatisfied with this, but Zhang Fei came here for official business. He was either escorting grain or inspecting the training of soldiers. As for Guan Yu, he had never been here before. According to Zhang Fei, he was supposed to be Liu Bei's bodyguard. As for Liu Bei, he was busy trying to build connections with all the big families. Oh right, it was said that Mi Zhu had the intention of marrying his sister to Liu Bei. It seemed that he had already started preparations. Since he was abused by Zhang Fei several times, Yang Lei had become more cautious and his riding skills had improved. However, the most important thing was that he could fight Zhang Fei dozens of rounds with the help of the stirrups. As for now, although he still couldn't beat Zhang Fei on horseback, he had no choice. Zhang Fei had also made stirrups, but he could still hold on for more than a hundred rounds. Even Zhang Fei was surprised by this. Although he had the help of the stirrups, everyone had seen his rapid progress. As for stirrupes, they were already in existence in this era. However, they were only used on one side to make it easier to go up and down. Yang Lei only added one on the other side. However, this small improvement made the higher-ups of Liu Bei's army happy for a long time. However, there were too few horses, only a hundred in total. After all, Xuzhou did not produce horses. They could only buy them from the north through merchants. Yang Lei's military camp had more than twenty horses. They were made into rangers by Yang Lei for reconnaissance purposes. They were sent out every day to detect the movements in the surroundings.
Yang Lei turned around and saw that Zhang Fei was already approaching. He couldn't help but say with a bitter face,"Third General, I've already fought more than sixty matches with you this month. Basically, we have to fight twice a day. Even if you don't feel tired, the horse is still very tired.”Zhang Fei laughed and said,"It's okay. I'll ask my big brother to send over a few more horses." Anyway, I have nothing to do. If I don't compete, I only feel flustered all over. If he wanted to drink but was afraid of being punished by his big brother, then he could only have a martial arts competition.”
"Oh, you're feeling better." Yang Lei said angrily. I'm the one who gets beaten up every time. How can I not feel comfortable? Why don't we fight on foot?" When Zhang Fei heard this, he smiled and said,"I say, Yuting, I am a general on horseback, not a general on foot." Didn't you say that you should use your strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses? I, Old Zhang, did it according to your instructions.”Seeing that Yang Lei was about to speak again, he hurriedly continued,"I, Old Zhang, fought with you for your own good. As the commander of another division, you will definitely lead troops in battle in the future. You can still say,'Get off your horse and we'll fight on foot.' That would be a huge joke. If you train with me, Old Zhang, I'm not boasting, but even if you meet that kid Lu Bu, you can still fight him for dozens of rounds.”Hearing this, Yang Lei was dumbstruck. If he fought Lu Bu, he would be sending himself to death. Lu Bu was not only outstanding in martial arts, but also in archery. In the entire Three Kingdoms, the only person who could match him was probably Huang Zhong. Even Taishi Ci was probably slightly inferior to him. If he shoots an arrow at me, I'll probably be injured if not dead. Right, Huang Zhong, can you get this general to fight with us? When he was reading novels in school, he remembered that his son had lung disease. Although he didn't know medicine, he knew something that seemed to be very effective for lung diseases. It was loquat. He had no choice. When he was young, he ate loquat cream and pear cream the most. En, no matter what, he had to try. If he could get Huang Zhong's help, Liu Bei's strength would probably increase by a large margin. Thinking of this, Yang Lei couldn't help but giggle.
Zhang Fei, who was watching from the side, saw Yang Lei's expression constantly changing. In the end, he just smiled foolishly and couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that he couldn't win against me, Old Zhang, and was so scared that he was delirious? He hurriedly grabbed Yang Lei's shoulders with both hands and was about to shake him violently, wanting to wake him up. However, Zhang Fei had forgotten Yang Lei's previous warning, which was to never touch his body from behind, including when he was sleeping and when he was in a daze. In the end, there was a series of bangs. With another bang, Zhang Fei fell down elegantly. As for Yang Lei, he also had a helpless but somewhat teasing expression as he kept muttering,"This is a conditioned reflex, really, really a conditioned reflex.”
Zhang Fei turned over and shouted,"Yuting, you're doing this on purpose. I don't care. You have to fight me today. Otherwise, Old Zhang won't let you off today.”Yang Lei was dumbfounded. When have you ever been finished? An hour later, Yang Lei and Zhang Fei were drinking in the stronghold. " This wine is tasteless." Yang Lei introduced Huang Zhong to Zhang Fei while thinking. Zhang Fei was distracted at first, but when he heard that this person's martial arts skills were not inferior to Guan Yu's and that his archery skills were comparable to Lu Bu's, he jumped up from his chair and shouted,""How is this possible? If there is such a person, why is he so unknown?”Yang Lei rolled his eyes at him." Third General, if you hadn't fought with Lei, did you also think that you were invincible in infantry combat?"”Zhang Fei sat down obediently and asked,""Yuting, since you said that this person is invincible and is serving in Jing State, why would he come to Xu State?”Yang Lei chuckled." Huang Hansheng has an only son named Huang Xu. He has lung disease. He has tried many times but failed to cure it." It just so happened that Ray had a folk prescription that specialized in treating lung diseases. Third General, think about it. If you were Huang Zhong and heard that your only son's illness could be cured, what would you do?”Zhang Fei was stunned. However, how can a real man repay kindness?”"That's not the case. Third General, you've misunderstood." Yang Lei shook his head. Lei's original intention was to let a soldier take my folk prescription to Jingzhou and Changsha to pay a visit to Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing. He offered this prescription and explained that the lord had heard that Huang Hansheng's son had lung disease, so he had asked people to search for the folk prescription and specially sent it here. He hoped that Zhang Zhongjing would go to treat him in person and prepare a generous gift to thank him. Even if this move cannot immediately make Huang Hansheng come to surrender, it can also make him feel grateful, and he will certainly repay him in the future. However, I think Huang Hansheng is a hero, brave and resolute. After his son recovers, he will certainly bring his wife and children to congenial. At that time, if you get a general, Xuzhou will have another barrier.”When Zhang Fei heard this, he laughed and said,"Yang Yuting, you're really something. You're still trying to repay my kindness under your dignified appearance." However, this move could be said to be fair and aboveboard. I'll go back now and tell Big Brother to send someone over. Write down the prescription." Yang Lei chuckled and said," This recipe is very simple. It's just loquat and pear. Just let him tell Zhang Ji directly."”She felt awkward in her heart. How would she know what the recipe was? She only knew that it was these two fruits. Zhang Fei heard this and stood up." In that case, I'll go back now."”Just as Yang Lei was about to reply, a soldier reported,"Reporting to Third General, Lord Sima, the scouts have reported that there is an army coming from the west. There were countless people. It seemed that he was preparing to go to Xuzhou through Xiao County.”"It must be that Lu Bu," Zhang Fei shouted."He's come all this way to take my brother's Xuzhou."”After saying that, he was about to lead his troops to fight. "General, Lu Bu was fighting Cao Cao previously. He must have been defeated and come to surrender." Yang Lei hurriedly stopped him. The three generals should not be reckless. It is better to wait for me to lead my troops to stop him. The three generals will lead a few cavalry to Xuzhou to report to the envoy. Ray is waiting for the envoy's orders.”
Zhang Fei looked at Yang Lei and thought for a moment." That's good. I'm angry when I see those servants. I'll go back and report to my elder brother." Yuting, don't worry, I will lead the army to help you.”Yang Lei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If it was a one-on-one fight, he would definitely die. However, if the two armies were to face each other, these 10,000 soldiers who had been trained by him to the point of screaming would not be for nothing. Besides, Lu Bu's most powerful cavalry is his cavalry. If you send his cavalry to attack my Nine Mile Mountain, wouldn't that be a target? No matter how powerful Gao Shun's Breaking Ranks Battalion is, it probably isn't much stronger than the soldiers I painstakingly trained. One had to know that more than half of these 10,000 people already had the strength of the previous 100-man general. What they lacked was the experience of seeing blood. Moreover, they were doing battle drills every day. Did they think it was just for show? Didn't you see that all the marquises were holding back their energy and rushing towards the red flag of the number one position on Nine Mile Mountain? Of course, the red flag was rotated every month, but the additional material rewards, wine and meat, were real. Despite his criticism, Yang Lei still agreed loudly.
After sending Zhang Fei off, Yang Lei ordered the people to beat the drum. In a short while, all the military marquises in the stronghold arrived. There were a total of 62 people, making the huge hall a little crowded. There was no other way. Yang Lei's military position was the commander of another division, so his subordinates were all organized according to the song and trained according to the village. Otherwise, if a commander came, who would listen to whom? Moreover, Zhang Fei often came to monitor and oversee the situation. Therefore, although many people wanted to attack this team that Yang Lei said was doing well, they were all suppressed by Old Zhang. In short, unless it was time for war, without Liu Bei, Guan Yu, or Old Zhang's warrant, even Guan Ping could only watch. Twelve thousand men, sixty marquises, plus the leader of Xiao Pei who was trained by Yang Lei, the two station chiefs, Zhang Shan and Lin Feng, became the backbone of the ten thousand men of Nine Mile Mountain. Yang Lei glanced at his subordinates who were sitting in two rows on both sides. Looking at their solemn faces, he couldn't help but feel proud. These were the people he had personally trained, even though their loyalty was to Liu Bei. However, he was certain that these people had already left their mark on him. Sowing a seed, it would germinate sooner or later, right?
