Chapter 35: Physical Fitness

Standing a long way from the barracks, you can clearly see that the barracks are already brightly lit. The soldiers are lined up in two columns, running in circles around the barracks. The breeze drifted east and west, and finally vanished into nothingness, dissipating in the higher night.

The barracks that used to be open now have a circle of wooden fences. Once the gate is closed, the barracks becomes a closed space. Two soldiers with long spears are always guarding the front of the gate. This is not a lofty arrangement. The decision made by Sun Xiao, Gao Yuan strongly supports Sun Xiao's idea, and is also very happy, because they finally began to use their own brains to think and make some proper and correct decisions.

After running the circle, the soldiers started different exercises as a unit. During this period of time, in order to improve the physical quality of the soldiers, such as strength, agility, flexibility and other basic things, Gao Yuan tailored for them He made different training plans, and arranging training plans every day became Sun Xiao's business. It seemed that he did a good job. After a group of soldiers completed one exercise, they moved on to the next one. They trained in an orderly manner. The field was filled with applause and cheers from time to time as the soldiers completed a high-quality exercise.

Gao Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Sun Xiao is a good subordinate. Although Cao Tiancheng can't lead the army, he can handle general affairs and logistics. Yan Haibo, Gao Yuan is doing his final inspection on him. He performed very well a while ago. If he can maintain such high enthusiasm and high-quality training in the next training, it is no surprise that the other one The position of the head is his.

Leading the horse, Gao Yuan slowly walked towards the barracks.

"Bing Cao is back, soldier Cao!" At the gate, the two guards clenched their fists with their right hands, placed their fists on their left chests, and saluted Gao Yuan.

"It's hard work!" Gao Yuan nodded and led his horse into the barracks.

The soldiers who were practicing in the barracks saw Gao Yuan come in, and they all saluted. Gao Yuan nodded and motioned everyone to continue, walked to the corner of the barracks, tied the horses, and Sun Xiao was already running over.

"Bing Cao, why is it so early, I thought you would come later!" Sun Xiao was breathing slightly while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"I can't sleep at home, and I can't worry about it, so come and see, Sun Xiao, you did a good job!" Gao Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "After breakfast, come to my room and have a look at the next training plan. "

"Yes, soldier."

While talking, Cao Tiancheng also rushed over, "Bing Cao, after you left yesterday, we also sent over the custom-made military uniforms, two sets for each person, one set of single clothes and one set of cotton-padded clothes. If it is not posted, do you think it will be posted today?"

"Fa, why not?" Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Your ragged clothes are really unsightly. Putting on new clothes makes you look more energetic. Going out like this will make me feel ashamed."

Both of them laughed, "In other words, Bing Cao is from a big family, and we are all used to it. As long as the balls under the crotch can be covered, other places are broken, and it's nothing special."

"You are soldiers, you are not ordinary people!" Gao Yuan did not laugh, "A clean and tidy military appearance is the basic requirement, the way you used to be, those who knew said you were soldiers, and those who didn't even thought you came from somewhere. The bandits, everyone dares to count on you to protect your family and the country, and you are not afraid that you will harm them."

Seeing Gao Yuan's serious expression, Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng also restrained their smiles, "Yes, Cao Cao has a lot of knowledge, I can't wait, and I will strictly require each soldier's dress in the future."

"By the way, Lao Cao, you go after breakfast, go to the city, buy a batch of sturdy cloth to bring back, um, it looks like two or three inches wide, try to make it as long as possible."

"Bing Cao, what's the use of buying these tapes?"

"Of course it works!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, "You'll know then, try to be as strong and soft as possible."

"I understand!" Cao Tiancheng could only keep his doubts in his heart, not knowing what medicine was sold in Gaoyuan's gourd.

Behind him came the voices of the commanders. The morning training was over. The soldiers who were on duty to cook also promptly moved out the baskets of miscellaneous noodles. The two large buckets were filled with vegetable soup. The training had just ended. The soldiers cheered and rushed over, lined up neatly in two columns.

"Let's go, let's get breakfast too!" Gao Yuan smiled, "I got the meal and said while eating!"

Gao Yuan led Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng over, to their surprise, Gao Yuan was at the end of the line.

"Bing Cao, you don't need to line up, right?" Sun Xiaoqi said ai.

"Why don't you line up?" Gao Yuan smiled, ignored the two, and stood firmly at the end of the line, but the soldier standing in front of him looked a little uneasy when he saw Gao Yuan standing behind him. The ground twisted and turned. Seeing such a scene, Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng could only lined up behind Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan led Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng into his room. He put the soup bowl on the table, biting the wowotou, while pulling out a stack of papers from the bedside, looking at After a while, I took one out of it and handed it to Sun Xiao, "Sun Xiao, look at it, we'll do this for the next ten days!"

Sun Xiao took the paper, but turned around and handed it to Cao Tiancheng, "Old Cao, read it to me."

Cao Tiancheng took the paper, just glanced at it, and with a snort, the soup in his mouth spurted out all over Sun Xiao, who was in front of him. The clothes I washed yesterday, aren't you hurting me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Cao Tiancheng waved his hands again and again, "New clothes will be issued today, new clothes will be issued."

Seeing Cao Tiancheng's reaction, Gao Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to it, he sat down on his own, took a mouthful of soup, and ate slowly.

"Old Cao, what are you doing, read me aloud, what task did Bing Cao arrange?"

"For the next ten days, we will quickly march from the barracks to the top of Nanshan Mountain every day. After arriving, rest for half an hour, and then return!" Cao Tiancheng looked at Sun Xiao and said word by word.

The expression on Sun Xiao's face froze instantly. From here to the foot of Nanshan Mountain, there are about five miles of road. If you go back and forth, it will be ten miles. If you climb the mountain again, the amount of training will be more than doubled immediately. There are no roads on Nanshan, only some winding paths.

"Sun Xiao, there is still a time limit for Cao Cao here. One time, one hour!" Cao Tiancheng stuck out his tongue and looked at Sun Xiao.

Sun Xiao suddenly felt that the vegetable bowl in his hand weighed thousands of pounds, and his hands were shaking a little, which was too difficult, "Bing Cao!" He called out.

Before he could speak, Gao Yuan had already stood up, "Old Cao is too old, there is no need to go, Sun Xiao, the two of us will lead the team for training."

"Bing Cao, are you running too?"

"Of course I run, as long as whoever beats me, I will be rewarded!" Gao Yuan said with a smile. "Today I have a day off, so I won't be training. It will start early tomorrow. Sun Xiao, don't talk about it in the team today. ."

"Understood, soldier!" Knowing that Gao Yuan's decision was absolutely impossible to change, although his heart was bitter, Sun Xiao could only agree.

"By the way, Bing Cao, the county magistrate summoned you yesterday, what happened?" Cao Tiancheng suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that our team has paid full wages,

Zheng Xiaoyang went to the county magistrate's place to make a fuss, and he had to pay the full salary, so the magistrate magistrate took me there and asked about it." Gao Yuan said indifferently.

Sun Xiao was furious, "Zheng Xiaoyang is a bastard, why are you courting death? Our team pays full wages, and we get soldiers and Cao's private money. He Zheng Xiaoyang pays his brothers if he has the ability, and what is wrong with the county magistrate? What do you mean?" Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng are both veterans, so they naturally know what Zheng Xiaoyang's trouble means. The county magistrate will either pay Zheng Xiaoyang full pay or get a bowl of water. They can't do this here, if they get it The money has to be spit back, and no one will be happy.

"It's alright, you don't have to worry about this matter. The money is sent by me, and it's also my personal. If Zheng Xiaoyang goes to the county magistrate to make trouble, he will let him make trouble." Gao Yuan smiled, "You just do your own thing. , worry about which stall you own, I only have one sentence, as long as I am still in this team as a soldier, I will not miss you a penny!"

"Thank you Bing Cao, Gao Bing Cao, I am convinced of people like you, I, Sun Xiao, will follow you all my life, so refreshing!" Sun Xiao said loudly.

Gao Yuan laughed, "Sun Xiao, I will never let the person who follows me suffer a loss. By the way, you are afraid that you are in your thirties, right? Are you talking about your wife?"

Sun Xiao blushed, "Bing Cao, I'm only twenty-eight! If I'm not thirty, it's not like you haven't seen me before, where can I find a wife, don't talk about me, we only have Lao Cao on the team. There are wives and children, and the others, like me, are all bachelors, and a small half of them have no family, so they really come and go naked."

"It's okay to have no wife. I couldn't afford it before, so why don't I even have a family?" Gao Yuan asked in surprise.

"Bing Cao, our Fufeng County is a Bian County. There are a small number of people on the team. Their hometowns are in some villages outside the Curie Pass. Those villages are looted once or twice a year by the Donghu people. These people's families are gone, not by Donghu. If people are captured, they will die. If they are not worried, how can they come to serve as soldiers? Sun Dutou is also like this, a whole family disappeared overnight, and he was the only one who escaped, so he came to serve as a soldier. Soldiers." Cao Tiancheng said solemnly.

"It's the Donghu people again!" Gao Yuan's face sank, "What about the other people?"

"The other families are all in the gate, and it's better, but there are so many people in the family that they can't afford it, and they have no food to eat, so they can only come to serve as soldiers. At least they can't starve to death, right?" Sun Xiao said.

Gao Yuan patted Sun Xiao on the shoulder, "Work hard, one day, let's take our brothers to the territory of the Donghu people and seek revenge for them."

Sun Xiao smiled bitterly, "The Donghu people are so powerful that even our prefect don't dare to provoke them. When the Donghu people came, they only dared to defend the city and did not dare to go out to fight in the field, watching the people outside the city being attacked. Looting and talking about revenge, I'm giving up!"

Gao Yuan's face changed, "Sun Xiao, I'll leave my words here today, just wait and see, I'm a manly man, Gao Yuan, spit and nails, one day, I will kill all the Donghu people."

"If the soldier dares to do it, I will sell you Sun Xiao's life!" Sun Xiao suddenly became excited.

"If you want to take revenge, you must first be patient!" Gao Yuan said: "We have to be hard on ourselves, and the Donghu people are big, so we must first strengthen ourselves, and when we have enough strength, we can go to them for advice. Impulsive, or you're going to die, understand?"

"Understood!" Sun Xiao nodded heavily, "It's no wonder that Soldier Cao straightened up military discipline and trained soldiers as soon as he arrived. It turns out Soldier Cao has great ambitions. I, Sun Xiao, saw the wrong person before, and then I recognized Soldier Cao."

"Okay, I've taken your words to heart, but Sun Xiao, you can't do it if you don't know how to read. When you're fine in the future, follow Lao Cao to read a few words, and at least understand the military orders!"

"Bing Cao asked me to learn, I will learn, I, Sun Xiao, are not afraid of death, are you afraid that I will not be able to learn a few words?" Sun Xiao raised his chest.
