Chapter 290
The dark sky above my head, and several lightning flashed from time to time to tear open the darkness of the night sky, and the rumbling thunder made the hearts of the people in the city tremble. When the raindrops as big as beans fell from above, even though it was just after dusk, Qingzhou City was already silent, and there was no one in the streets and alleys.
However, in the Xiangjun barracks north of the city, more than a thousand soldiers stood straight outside like javelins, letting the thunder sounds constantly above their heads, and the heavy rain had completely poured their bodies through. These people did not shake at all, and still stared at the front with resolute eyes, listening to the lectures of Sun Tu, the chief supervisor.
At this time, Sun Tu looked as embarrassed as others. He was completely wet from head to toe, but his voice was still loud, completely covering the heavy rain: "I know that you have worked very hard in the past half month, and many people have been injured and bleeding. You must feel that you have made great progress, at least you can be considered a real army. But you are wrong. In my opinion, you are still too far away from the title of military personnel. Just can only stand in line and walk in unison. Those simple battle formation killing methods can only prove that you have a strong body, but it is not enough to defend your country by using this. Even in my eyes, you are just a group of weak people!"
Listening to these obviously derogatory words, although the soldiers did not dare to speak, their eyes showed resentment. But Sun Tu still shouted loudly as if he had not seen their expressions: "You may not agree with it in your heart and think that this official is exaggerating, but you are wrong. I am just saying a fact. You have indeed made progress, and are even stronger than the Jiangzhou Township soldiers I have brought before, but this is because you are already stronger than the southerners, and you no longer have to worry about foreign affairs since you enter the military camp. In this way, you are only stronger than the Jiangzhou Township soldiers, which is really not worth mentioning.
"And you may not know how powerful my Qingzhou soldiers were. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was able to unify the north and make everyone in the world fear the heroes by the thousands of Qingzhou soldiers who started their own family. Back then, your ancestors could sweep the world under the leadership of Cao Cao with the most simple weapons, and almost unify the Central Plains. And you can only stay in this city until now, let alone resisting foreign tribes, even if you can eliminate the thieves and bandits from all directions for our Qingzhou people. Don't you feel ashamed or ashamed?"
Perhaps many of these people don’t know who Cao Cao was, and they don’t know how impressive he had achieved at that time. But they still understand how brave and good at fighting were his ancestors thousands of years ago, and they swept the world. What an elite Yum Army that was!
Found that everyone's spirit had improved again, Sun Tu shouted loudly again: "Let the thunderstorm today wash away all the laziness in your body. From tomorrow on, I will see a real Qingzhou elite soldier who is enough to make the bandits from all directions change in fear!"
After pausing, Sun Tu shouted loudly: "Did you all hear it clearly? Answer me?" When he shouted this, another thunder broke out from his head, but it still made everyone hear this.
Without any hesitation, the more than a thousand soldiers also shouted in unison: "We are obeying the order of the chief supervisor!" The voice even overshadowed the rumbling thunder and spread to all directions, allowing the people in the city to hear clearly.
Several generals standing beside him, such as Lu Da, were all admired. Unexpectedly, Sun Tu could have completely condensed the Qingzhou Xiangjun, which was originally a mob, into a team that could be fought. In fact, only they knew it was clear that the Qingzhou soldiers are now stronger than more than 80% of the local Xiangjun in the world.
After all, this is because Sun Tu was able to pay all the money and grain in place, which made this describe the reason why the soldiers were grateful to him. Qingzhou was originally simple and the soldiers of the wing army had already fallen to the bottom and could not even afford to eat. However, Sun Tu's appearance changed their destiny, which naturally made them grateful, and at the same time, they implemented the orders of Sun Dujian without any discount.
Of course, in addition to the soldiers' full dedication to their training, their great progress was also related to the fact that their physical spirit was originally stronger than those of the southerners, as well as the intimate guidance of military masters such as Lin Chong and Yang Zhi. Since Sun Tu came to Qingzhou and entered the military camp, these people have not had a day off. Everyone is practicing according to the rules set by Sun Tu, and they can almost do so, just like using their arms to force them.
But Sun Tu had greater expectations for them. As he said just now, the Qingzhou soldiers were an important team for Cao Cao to start a thousand years ago. With their strong combat power, he had not had much strength in the early stage, but he had pacified the entire northern Central Plains and almost swallowed up the Jiangnan land. So Sun Tu thought that this Qingzhou wing army still had a lot of potential to be explored. Not to mention that compared with the elite border troops that had been fighting for many years, he could at least pacify all the bandits and bandits in Qingzhou by his own strength.
After the troops dispersed to return to the camp with Sun Tu's permission, several generals came over. Among them, Huang Wenbing still had some doubts on his face. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Mainland, are you a little too anxious to do this? In fact, these soldiers have practiced with great care enough, after all, too much is not enough."
"You are just a little underestimating the potential of Qingzhou soldiers. I found that they have less ruthlessness in their daily training, so they have this lesson today. After all, I will soon ask them to try their best and fight a few battles with the nearby bandits and bandits. If they cannot fully stimulate their murderous aura before this, they will be afraid of many casualties when they really go to the battlefield." Sun Tu said with a serious face.
"Ah? Sanlang, do you really plan to let this team fight against the thieves in the mountains just for more than a month?" This time, even Lin Chong felt a little incredible.
Sun Tu nodded seriously: "No, right. Earlier, I had asked Shi Qian to take some brothers from the scout camp to several nearby cottages to investigate the specific situation, just waiting for them to come back, and once the opportunity is right, they will send troops."
During this period, Sun Tu had selected more than 20 elite troops from the Qingzhou Xiang army and joined the scout camp. He was responsible for the training of this team. After teaching them some special tactics of later generations, he sent the team out of the city to understand the various situations of several copycats within a hundred miles, which was also an assessment and trial for them.
"Is this... too anxious?" Even Yang Zhi asked with some concern. You should know that a month or two ago, although most of these people were nominally Xiangjun, they were actually no different from ordinary people.
"Time is too late, I must make some contributions to the court." Sun Tu shook his head and sighed. He knew his own affairs. Since he came to Qingzhou, he wanted to protect himself or achieve his grand goals, but he has completely destroyed the rules in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.
Such things can be covered up with his strong and strong fist in a short period of time, but it is hard to say after a while. Once the court really knows what he has done in Qingzhou, it will be difficult to guarantee that Liang Shicheng and others will not take the opportunity to attack. What he has to do now is to use military achievements to block the mouths of these people, so that the emperor and the people of the world believe that his series of decisions are for the stability of Qingzhou.
Of course, it would be even better if the Qingzhou army could really have strong combat power, even so strong that the court had some concerns. In fact, he had already heard that in the military prefectures bordering Xixia in the west, the military forces of the generals had long surpassed the civil servants, and they had their own system and had the saying of generals. The civil servants appointed by the court had completely lost their voice and could only obediently obediently obediently follow the orders of the military generals.
This was completely unimaginable before, but because it was related to the stability of the borders of the Song Dynasty, and the generals there also held large troops. Although they had not become the vassal state after the late Tang Dynasty, it was enough to make the court afraid and be afraid of it, so they could only turn a blind eye to it.
Now, what Sun Tu has to do in Qingzhou is actually the same. As long as he has strong enough power, as long as the court has a little concern, and with Tong Guan helping him speak, he is not afraid of being framed. Since he has taken this step early in the morning, there is no possibility of turning back. He can only move forward step by step and master greater power, and finally the court can only pinch his nose and admit his existence.
Of course, he could not speak out this thought at this time, and the only thing he could say was to protect himself.
Lu Da and Yang Zhi didn't think deeply. Although Lin Chong vaguely noticed something, he was introverted and would not point it out at this time. Only Huang Wenbing seemed to have seen through something. When he looked at Sun Tu, his eyes flashed with some other meaning.
However, such a big thing is still too far away for Sun Tu, who is just starting out now. He is still focusing on training troops. In addition, there is another big thing he needs to face-
Just early this morning, Yuan Jiangzhou soldiers who had been patrolling outside brought back news that a team of grain escorts had come to Qingzhou. Seeing that they were raising the banner that the transfer jail of Jingdong East Road was coming to deliver military escorts. What Sun Tu had to do next was to take this batch of grain directly into his hands, instead of letting Murong Yan surpass his previous one, so that he could ensure that he had no worries!
At the same time, it was precisely because of learning this news that Sun Tu felt that time was tight and he suddenly summoned the entire army to give a speech in the rain just now.
Time is endless, only self-improvement!
