Wancheng.

On the school ground outside the south city, ten thousand soldiers stood in formation, walking horizontally and vertically, full of energy. The autumn sun shone on the armor and swords and spears, but what is even more intimidating is the bright eyes and loud shouts of the soldiers. Although it is just an exercise, every step is unyielding, every spear is stabbed with all his strength, and every shout is full of fighting spirit to win.

The battle flags flew in the autumn wind, and the war drums echoed over the battlefield. Ten thousand people were like a monster that had been accumulating for a long time, spreading their fangs and illuminating their steel claws, which could swallow any opponent at any time.

Zhou Yu stood on the stage, holding the flag in his hand, standing tall with a long body. His white face was slightly red by the sun, and his forehead was slightly sweaty, but his eyes were as firm as a mountain. He carefully observed every corner of the formation and issued orders one after another.

Square array, circular array, straight array, curved array, practice one by one.

There is also a military watch platform on the left side of the Central Army General Platform. Yin, the priest of the martial arts hall, sat in the middle, and behind him was a group of teenagers, who were not as old as a crown, but each of them wore helmets, armor, and long swords around their waists, which was no different from the soldiers below. Although they didn't need to practice like soldiers, after being exposed to the sun for a long time, they were sweaty and their faces were red, but no one shouted to be tired, and their eyes were bright and they looked at the changing formation.

They are freshmen in martial arts lecture halls. Most of them are only about ten years old, and half have just graduated from kindergarten. Unlike those students who were selected from the ranks to study, they entered the martial arts lecture hall after completing their basic studies. The learning content is mainly military. The course is three years. After completing their studies, they enter the army as attendants and staff members of senior generals. After they are over 18, they are assigned to each battalion, and Qu Junhou, who leads 200 people, begins his military career.

Compared with those generals who were cut by ordinary soldiers, their starting point was higher and they could achieve higher achievements in the future. Being selected from so many classmates was enough to show their excellence. No one was willing to show even a trace of weakness at this moment. Yin Duan took them to watch the soldiers to let them know the hardships of the soldiers. Only by knowing the hardships of the soldiers can they truly understand the soldiers and truly love soldiers as their sons, rather than talking about them on paper and not being able to speak favorably.

It was not until the sun sets westward that the formation ended. Zhou Yu immediately commented and rewarded the excellent people in the drill. The generals each had rewards. They received them after returning to the camp. Ordinary soldiers rewarded money and wine, and distributed them on the spot. Under the envy of countless people, the rewarded soldiers set up a formation under the central army, and the students in the martial arts hall gave wine and paid money. The wine was only one bowl and only two hundred yuan, but it could play a role in boosting morale. For a time, everyone was jealous and excited. Those who received the reward should continue to work hard, and those who did not receive the reward should go back to summarize the lessons and strive for the next reward.

After the reward, each of them returned to the battle formation and returned to the camp one by one.

Zhou Yu came to Yin Duan and asked Yin Duan very politely. He was not a student in the martial arts hall, but he had always been very polite to Yin Duan and held the respect of his children. Yin Duan was very polite. After saying a few words, he asked the disciples to ask Zhou Yu. As soon as he finished speaking, a young man raised his hand.

"General, I have something to ask."

Zhou Yu smiled when he saw it. "Wei Yan, you had many questions when you were in kindergarten. Now you still have many questions. Can you ask someone else to ask a few questions first? You will follow me back to the city later and ask you to ask enough questions, okay?"

Wei Yan nodded happily. "Okay, okay. Please ask, I will go back to the city with the general later and go to see Mr. Cai."

When they heard that they were going to see Cai Yan, several young men shouted and wanted to go. Someone shouted, "General, do you care about food? We want to hear the gentleman play the piano and watch the general dance the sword." It was very lively for a moment, and there was no trace of seriousness anymore. Those young men who did not graduate from kindergarten looked at Wei Yan and others enviously. With the relationship between Cai Yan, the gentleman, Wei Yan and others were born with an advantage over them.

Yin Duan saw it, stroked his beard and said, "General, can I bother you?"

Zhou Yu bowed and said, "I am willing to come here, I can't ask for it. Let's do this, everyone here goes, how about it? I heard that this period of freshmen gathered, Mr. Handan from the county school, Mr. Hu, has a lot of opinions about Yin Jijiu. Yin Jijiu, you can keep some gods."

Yin Duan laughed loudly, her eyebrows were dancing, and her snow-white hair dyed a layer of golden light in the sunset.

The young men also bit each other's ears excitedly. Cai Yan is very famous in Nanyang. Many women take her as an example and want to do research and make their lives colorful. Especially those girls who graduated from kindergarten either find ways to continue their studies in the county school, or want to go to Mu Academy to study Mu Academy with Qin Luo, and some even want to go to the martial arts lecture hall to join the army. Anyway, few of them are willing to go home like their mothers and be a girl, waiting to get married.

Of course they were happy to see the legendary Mr. Cai.

Zhou Yu and Yin Duan returned to the city in the same car and closed the door. The smiles on their faces faded a little. Yin Duan sighed softly: "Gongjin, maybe I am old. When I think of this battle, I don't know how many of my students will be in the battlefield. I feel uncomfortable. Alas, the world is in chaos and the war is about to begin. How many people can be truly named marquis and generals in the end? One general will have thousands of bones woven."

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment. "Sacrifice wine, joining the army to fight, if you just want to be a marquis and generals, it is indeed a bit worthwhile. But if we fight for peace in the world, it is worth it even if we die in battle. Sacrifice wine, thirty years of conquest, thirty years of education, and one year of peace in the world, is this the hope of the world. How can we do it for our own achievements?"

Yin Duan looked slightly. "Gongjin, I am very pleased that you can think so. Of course, the achievements of soldiers are whatever they want in their battles, but just focusing on their personal achievements will lead to a mistake. If not, how could Dong Zhongying be ruined and laugh for the world?"

"Don't worry, if you have merits and demerits, the Cai Guild will give him justice."

Yin Duan sighed lightly: "Thinking about it now, it is better for me to do this. Although I am not as rich as a great man, I can be considered a disciple all over the world. I am old and cannot see the peaceful times. But when I think that my disciples will follow you to fight all directions and protect the country and the people, I am very pleased and die without regrets."

"The wine sacrificial is easy to say." Zhou Yu praised at the right time.

Yin Duan leaned against the car window, looked at the scenery outside, suddenly remembered something, frowned slightly. After a while, he turned to Zhou Yu and said, "Gongjin, Ling Zun is an official in Luoyang. Has there ever been a letter coming recently?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Some. After the Battle of Junyi, Luoyang was basically stable. Although Mr. Zhu was a little ill, it was not in the way. He was planning to farm in Luoyang. If the general handles these things, don't worry."

"I just don't worry about him. This Zhu Gongwei is very ambitious and talented, but he is a righteous man. The current situation is so chaotic, how can he be at ease to recuperate? In short, he should be over 60 years old. Let go when he should, don't think you are still young. If you have the chance, ask your father to persuade him."

Zhou Yu nodded and agreed. As he was talking, he arrived at the city gate ahead. Zhou Yu got out of the car and glanced at the crowd habitually. He was stunned and then smiled. He separated the crowd, walked to a middle-aged man, bowed and smiled.

"Xun Gongda, are you safe?"
