"My lord, what is systematic training?”
" The systematic training is a system," Liu Heng explained." It includes five parts: posture, morale, martial arts, battle formation, and thinking.
Mannerism was the appearance and attire of a soldier. It was the direct embodiment of a soldier's temperament and honor, and temperament and honor were the embodiment of a soldier's soul.
What was the soul of an army? It was a kind of qi, a kind of dauntless, bloodthirsty, and murderous dominance, a kind of heroic spirit that dared to face strong enemies and win, a kind of courage that was not afraid of danger and continued to move forward.
The training was done from the outside to the inside. The soldiers were trained to have the temperament of a soldier through standing, walking, sitting, and lying down.
Morale was the addition of combat power and a direct manifestation of combat strength.
It was a manifestation of a sense of justice. Morale training was mainly completed through daily education.
Martial arts was the foundation of an army's combat effectiveness, and it required a long period of hard training to produce results. Battle formations were the sublimation of martial arts. It emphasized that the overall strength was far greater than the combined strength of individuals.
As such, it was a weapon that increased the combat power of the army, and it was also the foundation of the army. It could not be formed overnight.
Thoughts were the most important. Not only did they have to teach soldiers how to fight, but they also had to teach soldiers how to be human.
There were always only two core thoughts in the army: Protect the country, protect the people, and have one goal: Destroy all enemies!
It was the core of the systematic training and needed to be picked up by the children…The training time of these two hundred people was less than a month, and the effect was not obvious. And this kind of systematic training would take at least a year to form true combat strength.”
Gao Shun couldn't help but nod. Although he didn't understand the thought part, it still couldn't stop his surprise and admiration for Liu Heng's erudition.
Among these 200 people, Liu Heng also selected 30 smart teenagers between the ages of 10 to 15 to form his personal guards. They would train with the 200 people during normal times and receive Liu Heng's systematic education and strict military guidance at other times.
Liu Heng, who came from the future, knew very well how important it was to have an army that was absolutely loyal to him. In order to achieve this goal, he must have a group of officers who were absolutely loyal to him.
These youths were to be trained to become the future backbone of the army.
The thirty personal guards were divided into three teams. One team leader, Zhang Xiong, was fourteen years old. His ancestral home was Xuantu. His parents died in the hands of the Wuhuan.
Second squad leader Wu An, thirteen years old, his ancestral home was Xuantu, his parents died, he escaped with Zhang Xiong, they were like brothers.
Xiao Gang, the leader of the third squad, was twelve years old. His ancestral home was in western Liaoning. His father died early and fled here with his mother.
After many rounds of elimination, these three people were all superior in terms of intelligence, physical strength, and endurance. They had strong physiques and did not lose to a twenty-year-old youth. He was also born in Xuantu and Liaoxi, which gave Liu Heng a sense of familiarity.
The 200 guards were divided into four groups, and the four leaders were selected through martial arts and intelligence competitions.
One of the captains, Sun Hong, was from Ji City.
Han Hao, the second captain, was thirty-two years old. His ancestral home was Xuantu Fengyang.
Three captains Mu Xin, ancestral home in western Liaoning;
Du Lei, the leader of the Four Great Commanders, was from Yuyang.
Other than Han Hao, the other three were all around twenty years old and were strong. More importantly, they were always willing to help the weak and were deeply loved by others, which was why they were appointed as the team leaders.
When they first heard of the word 'guards' and 'personal guards', Jushou and Xun Yu were equally surprised. It was fine for the guards, but it was the first time they had heard of the word' personal guards'.
"Guardians, protect the guards," Liu Heng explained. Guards, personal guards."
Ju Shou smiled and said,"Wonderful, close guard, appropriate."”
Xun Yu had a different opinion and privately said to Ju Shou,""Duke Ju, there is only one word difference between 'Guards' and 'Guardian'.”
Qiushou still smiled." You don't have to care so much. As long as you are sincere in serving the world, it's fine."”
After that, Gao Shun and Ju Shou suggested that these team members address Liu Heng as their master to confirm the master-servant relationship.
He didn't want Liu Heng to object and insisted that they call him Lord.
"The relationship between master and servant is much stronger than the relationship between master and servant. Why does my lord insist on…?"
"My lord sounds more emotional than my master." Liu Heng laughed. Master, Master is calling me as if I'm a powerful landlord…Haha!”
However, Liu Heng thought to himself," The relationship between master and servant is semi-slave. Although the Eastern Han Dynasty is much better than before, it still limits people's freedom. On the contrary, the relationship between master and servant is only a kind of master-slave relationship. It is much more flexible than the relationship between master and servant, and it also lacks the color of slavery. Moreover, for people who have received modern education on equality and freedom, the latter is more pleasing to the ear."
After resting for three days, Liu Heng tidied up everything in Ji City. He left the women behind and headed to his first base, Xuantu Prefecture, with only Gao Shun, Xun Yu, and Ju Shou. He ordered Zhao Feng to lead the four battalions, Du Lei, and fifty men to Youbei Prefecture to take over the post of prefect. As for Liaoxi Prefecture, he would consider it last because it was a vast and sparsely populated place. The Wuhuan were rampant there, and they could not fully control it with their current strength.
Along the way, he thought of all the experiences he had experienced when he came here, and a feeling of rebirth welled up in his heart. I also want to walk my own path."
The team consisted of nearly two hundred drivers, thirty carriages, and hundreds of large and small boxes.
However, due to the presence of three large groups of guards, they were relatively safe all the way to the guest house. The small groups of bandits were repelled, and only a few people on their side were lightly injured.
However, there was a cavalry team of about ten people that often appeared at the end of his line of sight, which made Liu Heng feel uneasy. His mind kept replaying the thrilling encounter in Liaoxi last time.
But Gao Shun was unusually calm and said calmly,""It must be a scout from the Wuhuan. Based on Shun's many years of experience in fighting the Xiongnu, the journey after leaving Bintu is the most dangerous.”
"So you have a plan to repel the enemy, Commandant Gao?"”
Gao Shun was still calm." My lord, please buy more banners and golden drums. This will do after we set off tomorrow."”
The next day, the sky was clear and cloudless. Although Bintu City was small, it was a place where tourists and merchants gathered. After the rooster crowed three times, the carriages left one after another for Liaoyang.
Among them, Liu Heng's fleet was the largest, so four or five small fleets followed closely behind Liu Heng and hitched a ride that seemed to be the safest.
By the time the sun had risen above the treetops, the convoy had already left the guest house for more than thirty miles. They saw the steep mountain peaks in the distance and heard the chirping of sparrows in the dense forest nearby.
Liu Heng, who was lying flat in the car, stared at the blue sky in a daze. He slowly recalled all kinds of memories from the past, trying to see how many of them could be used in this era.
Suddenly, Gao Shun, who was in the front carriage, stood up. His vigilant gaze focused on a mound five kilometers away.
Everyone looked over and saw three or four riders standing on the top of the hill in the distance, as if they were also using the horsewhip in their hands to guide the convoy.
Liu Heng and Gao Shun looked at each other and nodded.
Then, Gao Shun calmly gave an order,""Sun Hong, immediately lead a large group to protect the front of the convoy.
Han Hao led the second team to protect the rear of the convoy. They had to pretend to be in a panic to lure the enemy into close combat.
The personal guards will protect the lord and the two gentlemen.
Mu Xin led his troops to sneak into the forest on the right front with flags and drums. When he heard the sound of the horn, he immediately waved the flag, shouted, and beat the drum in unison. He also used branches to sweep up the dust, pretending that the army was going out to fight.”
Hearing Gao Shun's arrangement, Qiushou stroked his beard and said with a smile,""Wen Ruo, what do you think?"
Xun Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly." You and your brother can deduce the strategy of Commandant Gao just from the word 'banner'. I admit defeat. I'm convinced!" I'm convinced!"
Qiushou didn't think much of it and instead praised,""Wen Ruo's talent is not inferior to mine, this weakness is within Wen Ruo's expectations.”
As he spoke, dust rose from the north, and the rumbling of hooves gradually approached.
Liu Heng, Ju, and Xun hid behind the carriage under the protection of the personal guards to observe the battle.
When they saw the chaotic scene of the convoy, the first half of them fled in panic (fake), and the second half simply fled in all directions (real).
The cavalrymen in the distance were overjoyed. After shooting a few arrows randomly, they shouted and waved the weapons in their hands as they rushed forward, ready to kill and plunder wantonly.
Behind the large group of cavalrymen, there were more than ten cavalrymen slowly following behind them. From their attire, they were obviously officers.
Gao Shun was still calm and composed. Seeing that the enemy soldiers were less than 200 feet away, he shouted,""Guards, listen up! Protect yourself with your shields!”
After saying that, he quickly rushed forward and raised his saber to slash at the enemy soldiers and horses.
The enemy soldiers had no choice but to slow down their horses in order to rob and kill, which was exactly what Gao Shun needed.
By the time they reacted, the thirty cavalry at the front had already suffered.
Gao Shun was swift and ruthless. While he used his shield to block the enemy soldier's sword, the blade had already cut into the side of the enemy horse's abdomen. His ribs and internal organs were turned into a bloody mess. The horse neighed in pain and lost all strength in its four hooves. It fell down with a plop, and the enemy soldier on the horse was thrown out heavily. He knocked his head against the car's axis and immediately died!
