After entering the valley, it was as if he had come to another world, and the spectacular scene that greeted his eyes made Sun Ce feel a sense of heroism in his heart.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is a plain with a radius of dozens of miles, and there are hills, woods, two small hills with camps, and even a small city in it. Countless soldiers were in separate formations, dressed in bright armor of different colors, armed with wooden weapons dipped in paint, and formed in these places to catch and simulate a fight. Some fought head-on on the plains, some defended the city and attacked the city, and some practiced ambush and ambushed battles.

On the river farther away, the same two fleets were practicing the battle, shouting and killing, and from time to time soldiers fell off the boat, splashing waves.

"With such a drill, how can you not send elite soldiers!" Although it was not the first time he had been here, Sun Ce couldn't help but sigh that once upon a time he was one of these people.

"General Ji Ling is worthy of being a soldier in the world, just this hand is enough to shock the world." Zhao Yun sighed.

When Sun Ce heard this, he smiled slightly: "Zilong, you are wrong about this." It is true that General Ji Ling is a soldier in the world, but this method is not created by him. ”

"Oh? Who is that? Could it be General Gao Shun or General Lu Yi? Zhao Yun asked, Da Chu is the best at training soldiers is none other than these people.

"Neither, Your Majesty." Sun Ce said: "Training troops in battles, simulating various scenarios, and trying to be as close to actual combat as possible are all ideas from His Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty is indeed a British lord, and he is so proficient in military affairs."

"Okay, anyway, there has been no war in Liaodong for the past few months, we can all stay here during this time, let's talk about these later, let's go to General Ji Ling first!" Sun Ce said.

The two led the horses to the right. It is a flat land that covers no more than a tenth of the valley, and is divided in two. In front is a huge training ground, and in the back are tens of thousands of tents for soldiers to rest. After Sun Ce and the others moved the horses to a special position on the side, they went straight to the high platform in the center of the training ground.

Although it was late afternoon, it was already winter, and it was very cold, and the cold wind blew from time to time.

On the huge training ground, tens of thousands of soldiers lined up in neat rows stood in armor and spears in the shape of stabbing attacks. The neat array is so shocking, giving people an incomparably solemn feeling. These soldiers are all new recruits, and they are basically around 20 years old, and they are all young and strong. Since Sun Ce walked in all the way for nearly a quarter of an hour, their movements have not changed, and I don't know how long they have been persistent, and they can basically be said to have not moved at all.

And in the array, there are many soldiers who patrol back and forth, these soldiers are quite old, they are all veterans of Da Chu who have retired from the army because of their age over the years, they exude evil aura all over their bodies, and many of their bodies are full of scars, and they are elite soldiers in a hundred battles at a glance. They patrolled the recruits with long whips in hand, and saw a soldier in the wrong posture with a whip on his buttocks.

Sun Ce couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes when he saw this scene, remembering the unbearable past for a certain period of time, and his ass was faintly hot. With his lawless character, he was not less smoked back then. Although this kind of whipping does not leave a scar or hurt people, it is extremely painful.

The soldiers who were pumped on the field all had red faces, and they didn't know whether they were in pain or ashamed, so they hurriedly looked at the front of the team and turned to the general who was also holding a gun to stab, and re-standardized their posture.

The whole army, whether it is a general or a non-commissioned soldier, is treated the same, without exception, all of them maintain the same standing posture, even Ji Ling on the high platform. The only difference is that the generals with more than 100 generals are at the forefront of their own teams, and they stand in the opposite direction to set an example.

After Sun Ce and Zhao Yun ascended the high platform, they did not make a sound to disturb Ji Ling, but silently took out a spear of moderate weight from the weapon rack on the side, and stood up in a "military posture".

After a long time, it was not until nearly 100 soldiers on the training ground collapsed to the ground and were carried away because they couldn't support it, that Ji Ling stopped and shouted to stop and rest for a while.

Sun Zhizhi looked at the soldiers who were carried away with regret. He had participated in this kind of training before, and he knew that these soldiers who were the first to fall because they could not support it would be kicked out of the team in the future.

They are all good soldiers! But it's a pity that Da Chu's recruitment is so strict. Choose the best of the best, whether it's because you're not strong enough or because you're not strong-willed, as long as you fall first, it means that you're not good enough. At least 30% of these tens of thousands of recruits will eventually be eliminated. It is precisely such a strict selection of soldiers that can ensure the quality of non-commissioned soldiers.

After Ji Ling ordered a temporary rest, he turned to look at Sun Ce and Zhao Yun, and casually picked up two bowls of light salt water from the table on the side and handed them over: "What are you two doing here?" ”

Sun Ce took the bowl, raised his head and drank the water without answering, smacking his lips and saying, "General, why has the taste of this water changed?" It's so unpleasant. ”

"I asked His Majesty to let Doctor Hua add some Chinese medicine to it, and the taste is naturally worse, but the effect is much better than simple salt water." Ji Ling looked at the recruits who were happily grabbing water below, and a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The general really loves soldiers like a son!" Zhao Yun said with respect in his eyes.

"After all, it's a soldier who walked out of my hands, and I don't want them to embarrass me." Ji Ling said lightly as if he was indifferent.

"General, you are still so cold on the outside and hot on the inside, if you care about the soldiers, you just say it, you have to pretend to be indifferent." Sun Ce grinned and debunked.

As the general of Zhenguo, Ji Ling can be above all the generals with Huang Zhong and Sun Jian, and no one in the whole army is unconvinced. The oldest, loyal, and fair, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Dachu have been trained by his hands, and they have won the respect of the soldiers of the whole army, and their prestige among the soldiers is almost second only to Yuan Shu.

"I see that your ass is itchy again, haven't you learned a lesson in the first war in Northern Xinjiang?" Ji Ling said in an unkind tone and unceremoniously.

As soon as these words came out, Sun Ce's face tightened, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and bowed his head in a slightly hoarse tone: "It's my fault, I'm sorry, general." ”

Ji Ling looked at Sun Ce with a serious gaze and said, "You should say that it's not me who is sorry, but those soldiers who died in battle." As a Great Chu soldier, it is natural to defend the country and die on the battlefield, but I hope that they will not die in vain, and it will be more valuable to die. A general is incompetent and exhausted to the death of the three armies, their sacrifice saved your life, you should know what you are shouldering, don't let your majesty and those soldiers under the nine springs down! ”

Yuan Shu's thoughts and the importance he attached to Sun Ce Ji Ling were clear. It can be said that the tens of thousands of soldiers who sacrificed were simply the nourishment prepared by Yuan Shu for Sun Ce's growth.

Only after experiencing it will it grow, in history, Sun Ce was able to create a huge foundation in Jiangdong at a young age and become a hero, and Sun Jian's death played a great role.

Losing his father's protection and shouldering the heavy responsibility of avenging his father and the family, Sun Ce quickly matured and grew up in such a short period of time and became the little overlord of Jiangdong.

And Yuan Shu's current approach is the same, those 20,000 loyal soldiers fell alive in front of Sun Ce, and many of them died directly to protect and save him. This kind of loss, this responsibility, is the best nourishment for Sun Ce's growth.

Ji Ling had no objection to Yuan Shu's approach, but he was extremely sorry for the more than 20,000 soldiers who had died in battle, so he couldn't help but say this when he saw Sun Ce.
