Five days later.

Lu Yao lay on a slope, squinting his eyes to avoid the sunset.

There were rhythmic vibrations coming from the ground beneath him, and gradually approaching here. The soldiers were doing long-distance running training. After the team was established, Lu Yao immediately organized training, such as knife skills and archery skills. Long-distance running once in the morning and evening really made everyone feel sad.

Every day before the sun came out, the three hundred soldiers had to wear all their clothes and carry all their baggage, running around the entire Jicheng for two laps, and those who could not finish running had no breakfast. And the commanders and the squads complained even more because even if one of their soldiers failed to complete the training, they did not have breakfast. After breakfast, the normal training and patrol values ​​did not decrease. And before dinner, they had to come like this.

The vibration on the ground became clearer, and Xue Tong's roar was faintly heard. Xue Tong was born with strong energy and martial arts skills. She was not interested in the long-distance running of a mere ten miles of land, and she claimed to be able to lead the other soldiers at least five miles away. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lu Yao asked him to put on three layers of sleeve armor, iron trunks, and big swords, spears, bows and arrows, as well as ten servings of dry food and drinking water, which combined more than 120 kilograms. Ordinary people carried so many things, and they might not be able to run fifty steps before they could fall down; Xue Tong forced himself to support him, but he was also very tired. Especially in the last part, he was almost exhausted every time.

The soldiers behind Xue Tong were even more unbearable, and they were all exhausted. Some soldiers with poor physical strength almost relied on their colleagues to drag and pull to the end of the flag gate. Some even more unbearable were rolling to the ground dozens of feet away from the flag gate and could no longer get up.

At this time, Deng Gang showed off his killing weapon. More than a dozen soldiers carried large pots full of food and lined up behind the flag gate. The fragrance of food blew in the wind, squeezing out the last physical strength of the soldiers.

The training intensity arranged by Lu Yao far exceeded the usual standards, and the soldiers consumed a lot of physical strength every day, so their appetite became astonishing. The food allocated by the camp alone was not enough to meet the needs in any case.

Fortunately, he was prepared and sent people to set up traps in the mountains and forests every night, and caught countless birds and beasts as extra meals. The attractiveness of a meat-filled meal to the soldiers was incredible, and it inspired them to move forward bravely every time.

In modern times, Lu Yao has read many online novels that travel through history. In those novels, after the protagonist comes to a certain historical period, he can cultivate a powerful soldier to defeat the attack by relying on the military knowledge learned from the TV series. When he travels to the Western Jin Dynasty by himself, he finds that the fantasy of online novels is really unbelievable.

Since the rise of China, from Yanhuang to Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties, every dynasty was born in wars. Ancient Chinese history is almost a history of war. With the accumulation of countless bloody battles, advanced military systems and military management ideas will naturally be formed.

In the past, there were 53 widely circulated military books, with as many as 790. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos and heroes emerged, so the "New Book of Meng De" by Emperor Wu of Cao Wei and "Twenty-Four Chapters of War" by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu. The military system of this dynasty inherited the system of Han and Wei, and at the same time it also had some gains and losses. Whether it was arrays, tactics, equipment, gold drums, flags, or logos, there were unique features, and it was by no means possible to imagine the otaku in the hot weapons era.

The main reason for limiting the combat effectiveness of the army is not military ideas and training methods, but logistics support. The army is a bottomless pit that devours money, food and materials, and when fighting, training, and driving, the consumption must be doubled. Therefore, the military strategy says: Anyone who builds a hundred thousand troops and goes out for a thousand miles will spend thousands of miles on the people's expenses and the government's service will spend money every day; those who are both internal and external disturbances and are sluggish on the road and cannot handle the work. With the production level in ancient times, where can they bear such consumption?

Training elite soldiers and strong generals, paired with sharp blades and good horses, and providing sufficient food and fodder, one hundred thousand people will be enough to rampant the world... But who can do it? What to eat, what to wear? Where do the weapons come from? These three questions are enough to force a wealthy dynasty to a downturn.

Emperor Wu of Han relied on the rich accumulation of Wen and Jing's rule, and after several battles, he also caused waste of the world and the people were sad. This dynasty was not long after the end of the Han Dynasty, and the vitality of the world had not yet recovered, and he could not bear the investment in raising troops. Therefore, the dynasty's dynasty's military was abolished and the county soldiers returned to farming. Most people think that the court officials were indulging in peace, which was because they could not bear the financial situation.

After the Eight Kings Rebellion, the kings raised their own troops, but occupied the land of one state and one county, and often had tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of troops, which far exceeded the limit of the burden of the people's power. Since then, diligent support was almost gone, the so-called army became synonymous with armed refugees.

Therefore, Lu Yao did not intend to use the pitiful military knowledge in his previous life to transform his troops. What he wanted was actually just to emphasize the obedience of the troops and the sense of teamwork.

His subordinates were all the rest of the Bingzhou Army. The advantage was that they were all experienced soldiers; and the disadvantage was that many of these people were soldiers who were good at protecting themselves and often obeyed the instructions of their superiors; and because they were temporary alliances, they lacked trust and mutual assistance.

These shortcomings can be solved by long-distance running training with large amounts of exercise. The situation of long-distance running training is boring, monotonous, and consumes a lot of money. As the soldiers work hard to complete it, they invisibly train their obedience.

At the same time, Lu Yao stipulated that every team and every team must use the whole team to reach the finish line as the indicator for the end of the training. This forces the strong to help the weak, encourage each other, and support each other. This is how teamwork spirit emerges.

"Daoming's military training method is very rare!" Wang Xiu's voice came from beside him. Liu Kun's relatives are now familiar with Lu Yao, and whenever they are not on duty, they often come to Lu Yao for chatting.

Lu Yao knew in his heart that this was not what Yue Shigong meant. Perhaps Yue Shigong also wanted to see through Wang Xiu's eyes whether he could be competent for the position of General Bi.

"Brother Zihao, this long-distance running training seems useless, but it is actually most beneficial to the formation of the new army. It has a great effect on enhancing the physical strength, perseverance, cultivating the obedience of the soldiers, supporting each other, and so on." Lu Yao smiled and said, "Mo Zi said: In ancient times, Wu Helu taught in seven years, and held troops under armor and ran for 300 miles and left. It means that King Helu of Wu used the method of Sun Wuzi to train troops. The soldiers wore armor and held troops and ran for 300 miles before they could rest. This training method lasted for seven years. Seven years later, the Wu army rushed thousands of miles, won five battles and five victories, and went to Yingdu, and the hegemony was completed."

"It actually has such a miraculous effect? ​​The thieves under my subordinates must practice like this!" Wang Xiu was eager to try.

Lu Yao shook his head repeatedly: "I can't catch up, I can't catch up."

"What does it mean to tell?"

"After the soldiers exercise, they sweat heavily. If they cannot wipe their bodies in time and keep them dry, they will easily suffer from epidemics. Since ancient times, epidemics have been a taboo in the army. Sun Tzu said: "There is no disease in the army, which means victory." This sentence will be able to overcome diseases and maintain the health of soldiers closely linked to the victory or defeat of the war. Therefore, after training, the military camp must provide a large amount of hot water for the soldiers to bathe and change clothes. Where do we have these conditions at the moment? Once it is cold and snowing, we must stop training with large amounts of exercise."

Lu Yao raised his hand and pointed at the several big pots in front of the camp gate: "In addition, whether military training can achieve good results, we must also consider whether nutritional supplements can keep up. If there is not enough supplements, a lot of training will only lead to physical decline and mental depression."

"What is this 'nutritional supplement'?" Wang Xiu asked in a daze.

"How should we say it?" Lu Yao frowned. He is not an encyclopedia, so he could not explain it clearly for a while. After a while, he reluctantly said: "The so-called nutritional supplement is probably the process of our intake of beneficial ingredients in food to replenish our body consumption."

He thought for a while and said, "For example, the starch and sugar contained in grain and the protein contained in meat are important nutritional supplements. Our army lacks food and fodder, so I sent people to the mountains to hunt and provide meat for the soldiers. Over the past few days, I have almost wiped out the birds and beasts nearby... Even if Brother Zihao wants to follow the example, there is no inventory available in the mountains."

The two were talking, and suddenly heard the sound of powerful drums coming from the camp. Wang Xiu's face changed: "Lord and the generals!"

He jumped up and led the war horse, and whipped it hard. The war horse neighed and ran towards the camp.

Lu Yao did not dare to delay and hurriedly urged the horse to follow.
