"Hah!"
"Hah!"
Under the scorching sun, the soldiers in Cao Cao's camp trained tirelessly.
Zhang Wu purposely found a shady place and set up a pergola. In this damn summer, a cup of herbal tea and high-quality beef jerky were good.
Tiger Cage Pass was the most powerful pass in the world. If the Western Liang Army did not come out, it would not be possible to attack it in a day or two. Naturally, Zhang Wu had nothing to do.
Two 'handsome' bodyguards followed behind him on his left and right.
The bodyguard had red lips and white teeth, looking like a pretty boy. Who else could it be but Cai Yan who was dressed as a man? The other person was naturally the pretty maid Xia Zhu who followed Cai Yan wherever he went.
After slowly getting to know each other, Cai Yan finally threw away the burden of being an idol of a great talented woman. Ever since she was born, she had never stepped out of the manor door. The outside world, everything was novel to her.
And Zhang Wu, who was about the same age as her, naturally became her tacit playmate.
"Hey! I'm almost exhausted. Can you get up and let me sit for a while?”
Although Cai Yan was wearing the highest grade light armor in the army, she was after all a weaker woman. Moreover, the weather was so hot, she had long been a little unable to hold on.
"How is that possible? I'm the general, and you're the personal guard. Now that I've let you take my position, what authority do I have to command the soldiers in the future? Do you know the most important thing about leading troops? Prestige! Prestige, Young Miss!"
Cai Yan rolled his eyes in disdain." The military books say that if you want the soldiers to die for you, you need to have the same desires. It means that if you want the soldiers to fight bravely and not fear death, as a general, you need to eat and live with them, advance and retreat together. Look, right now your soldiers are training under the scorching sun, while you are lying here enjoying yourself. In the future, when they go to the battlefield, how can they possibly die for you?”
Zhang Wu looked at Cai Yan suspiciously.”
In his memory, women in ancient times didn't learn needlework or needlework. If they were more advanced, they would learn zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Even if they were the most talented women, it would already be very impressive if they could recite poetry.
Why did Cai Yan even read military books? Did he have to be so passionate about learning?
Zhang Wu was under a lot of pressure. Anyway, he had opened nine out of ten apertures and knew nothing about military books.
"I've read a little. I've read some of the books in my father's study.”Cai Yan made a face at Zhang Wu, pulled him up from the rattan chair, and sat on it himself: "Alright, Great General Zhang, quickly go train your soldiers. I'm exhausted.”
After doing all of this, Cai Yan realized that she seemed to be a little rash and blushed slightly.
When they were at home, not to mention having physical contact with men, even discussing poetry needed to be done through the curtain.
But now, she was coming into contact with him more and more, intentionally or unintentionally. This was a very dangerous signal.
'Cai Yan! Don't let your imagination run wild. You only treat him as a playmate. Yes, a playmate. Just treat him as a woman!'
Fortunately, Zhang Wu couldn't read minds. Otherwise, if he knew that someone treated him as a woman, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
"Same desires? It should be similar to the meaning of imitating their superiors, right? Then should I teach them martial arts?”
As Zhang Wu thought about it, he took his spear from the weapon rack behind him and walked to the center of the drill ground.
The soldier in the lead was wearing leather armor. His muscles were bulging, but his face was dark and his beard was unkempt. When Zhang Wu walked over, the other soldiers stopped what they were doing. Only he was still brandishing his broadsword with all his might.
"Alright, Hwa Xiong, stop for a moment. Are you here to train your soldiers or to practice your saber?”
Hearing this, Hwa Xiong snorted coldly and retreated to the side.
After being captured by Zhang Wu, dozens of people had come to persuade him to surrender, but his family was in Luoyang. Moreover, Dong Zhuo had treated him well, and his loyalty did not allow him to surrender.
He was prepared to die, but this shameless person in front of him bent his waist.
First, Zhang Wu did not feed Hwa Xiong, and then sent a few soldiers to beat him up every day. He even called it 'education of love'.
Hua Xiong was the general of Western Liang. How could he endure the humiliation of being beaten by soldiers? Just as he was about to commit suicide, Zhang Wu ordered people to help him. He sent people to feed him a little muddle-headed every day to keep him alive.
Seven days later, Zhang Wu sent someone to tell him that if he helped Cao Cao train the army for a hundred days, he would be released.
Of course, Hwa Xiong knew that there was an unknown conspiracy behind this, but at that time, he could no longer bear the humiliation, so he could only take the opportunity to agree.
Now that Zhang Wu was in front of him, how could he give him a good look?
Most of Cao Cao's infantry were equipped with spears, which were fundamentally different from sabers.
Zhang Wu didn't think that he was some martial arts grandmaster who could casually teach soldiers to become fierce generals.
However, the spear was not too bad. He still had some experience in the most basic stabbing and picking of spears.
"Little Six, right? Come, stab me with your spear.”
"I asked you to stab me with your spear, but you were embroidering?”
"You don't have any strength at all. Did you not eat?”
Zhang Wu originally wanted to demonstrate his combat skills to the soldiers, but the strength and skills of ordinary soldiers were worlds apart from his, so he could not demonstrate them at all.
"Forget it, forget it. Watch carefully. Hwa Xiong, you do it!”
Hwa Xiong stepped forward expressionlessly. Although he had been defeated and captured in the battle that day, he did not think that it was because his martial arts skills were not good enough. It was just that Zhang Wu had used the advantage of the horse to trick him. He did not expect that in the blink of an eye, he would welcome the opportunity for revenge.
If he killed Zhang Wu, perhaps he would die. At the very least, this way, he could protect his family in Luoyang.
"All I've learned in my life is to kill enemies, not to spar.”
Zhang Wu was stunned. This rough man was quite interesting. Did he really think that he could kill him? With a wave of his spear, the surrounding soldiers retreated in unison and formed a large circle around the edge of the drill ground.
After a few days of interaction, the soldiers were very clear about the strength of the yellow-faced man. However, no one thought that Zhang Wu would lose.
Ever since Zhang Wu left the mountain, he had won all the battles, big and small. He had already established a preliminary prestige in Cao Cao's camp. Moreover, everyone present was a witness when he broke into the Western Liang army alone.
"Think about it carefully. I'll give you the chance to challenge me, but if you lose, you'll have to train in Cao Cao's camp for another hundred days.”
"Hmph, I won't lose. You'd better think about who will take care of your funeral.”
"Hahahahaha, the person who can take care of my funeral has not been born yet! As long as your blade can cut off a single strand of my hair, I'll let you go. How about it?”
"It's a deal!"
Hwa Xiong shouted and raised the hilt above his head with both hands, slashing at Zhang Wu.
This time, they did not ride horses. Without the advantage of horses, Hwa Xiong did not think that he would lose.
