Chapter 16 Pointing

The next day.

Maybe it was because he slept too much last night, Liang Feng woke up very early, and opened his eyes as soon as it was dark. With a thirsty and uncomfortable throat, he struggled to sit up, but a figure took a step forward and held his body.

Liang Feng was stunned for a moment, only to find that Yi Yan was standing by the couch and couldn’t help asking: “Why are you here?”

Yi Yan’s movements stagnated slightly, and he whispered: “I was watching outside at night and heard the movement.”

Did he stand outside the door all night? Liang Feng couldn’t help but laughed and laughed: “The night watch is not a guard. From now on, you will replace the green bamboo and sleep outside. If I have anything to do at night, I will ask you to get up and wait.”

His health is really bad now, and he needs help from others whether he wakes up at night or drinks water. Toss a little girl is really unbearable, it is more comfortable to change to a man.

“Lang Jun, are the servants not doing well?!” Lu Zhu also ran over in a hurry at this time, looking like he had just woke up, and he hadn’t even finished his hair bun. She was really exhausted these days when she was away from home, and she accidentally overslept, allowing Yi Yan to take advantage of the loopholes.

“If you stay up too late, you will lose your face. For this kind of work, let Yi Yan come.” Liang Feng smiled.

Lu Zhu’s face turned red immediately. In fact, she also knows that there are too few people around Lang Jun. Generally, people need at least four maids to serve her. She is only alone. How can she be busy? But the little girl is also selfish, and instead of having more smart sisters, it is better to add a servant.

After hesitating for a while, she leaned back and said: “Does Lang Jun want to get up? The slave maid will wait for Lang Jun to wash.”

Seeing that Luzhu started to get busy, Liang Feng turned to Yi Yan and said, “Did you sleep last night? Are you energetic now?”

“Yes.” At this moment, Yi Yan had retracted his arm and stood up straight, looking very energetic.

Liang Feng nodded slightly: “Let’s go for a run outside first, move your muscles and bones.”

This is naturally five kilometers for the morning exercise. Yi Yan trot out of the room without saying a word. Liang Feng took the veil from Green Bamboo, wiped his face, rinsed his mouth with salt water, and drank a cup of warm water before getting up from the couch. Washing his face and brushing his teeth is fortunate to say that dressing and combing his hair is really not something he can do by himself. Like a puppet, he obediently let the green bamboo put on his robe, and Liang Feng was pulled in front of the mirror and began to comb his hair.

Because he has been seriously ill, his hair has not been washed for a few days. Fortunately, it is combed neatly every day, which is not too difficult to suffer. It’s just that Green Bamboo’s combing hair becomes a bit strange, and it pauses for a while every few combs, seeming to be doing something secretly. Liang Feng just thought about it for a moment, and then said, “You don’t need to worry about your hair loss.”

Lvzhu’s small body stiffened, and only after a while he said, “Langjun, there are not many hair loss, just use more flax shouwu.”

Liang Feng smiled and did not answer. The sequelae of arsenic poisoning can also include hair loss. Anyway, people wear a crown or a towel, even if the hair is really sparse, it can’t be seen. These little things are far less important than the treatment itself.

The green bamboo didn’t dare to delay this time, he almost finished combing his hair, and carefully hid all the hair loss before helping Liang Feng to sit down in front of the case.

“Go and prepare some snacks first. If you have goat milk and eggs, you can also prepare some.” Liang Feng looked at the sky and ordered.

He now needs to take a lot of high-protein foods. Yiyan and Luzhu are also growing up, so it’s good to be able to eat more. Unexpectedly, Lang Jun had an appetite early in the morning, and Luzhu happily went down to prepare meals. At this time, Yi Yan also ended the long-distance running and returned to the courtyard.

No matter how good his stamina was, he was sweating profusely after running five kilometers. Yi Yan didn’t enter the door, but stood on the porch and tried to adjust his breath, trying to let the sweat fall off. Liang Feng didn’t give him a chance. He pointed to the lush plum trees in the courtyard and said, “Find a branch that exceeds your head, hold it firmly with both hands, use your arms, and lift the whole body up to see how many strokes you can do.”

This is a fresh job. Yi Yan blinked his eyes, walked quickly under the tree, picked out a suitable branch, and started pull-ups. Beyond Liang Feng’s expectation, Yi Yan did twenty repetitions in one breath before slowing down. When he reached thirty repetitions, his arms began to tremble, but he did not want to continue.

Only then did Liang Feng speak: “Okay.”

Five kilometers and fifteen minutes, thirty-five pull-ups in three minutes, this kid’s physical strength is better than he expected. Beckoning Yi Yan to stand beside him, Liang Feng said, “Being a soldier is nothing more than running and fighting. Running is the foundation. Only when you can run, you will not fall behind when you attack, and you can save your life when you retreat. Fighting is much more complicated, but Your body must be strong. If you go down with a knife, others will not be able to resist it. You will naturally be the one who wins. But there is one more thing that many people will overlook, that is, discipline.”

Running and playing Yiyan could understand, but he couldn’t figure out what “discipline” was. Liang Feng did not directly explain, but said: “Opening a big battle against a big enemy is different than catching thieves in a court. Thousands of people line up in front of the battlefield. The brave must not be the first, and the timid must not be behind. Cong spear poked, Cong spear poked, slashed with swords, killed him indiscriminately, just rushing in together, it is difficult to change hands, it can be tolerated to move left and right; one person looks back, the public agrees, one moves an inch, the public is all To win your heart, how can you tolerate advances or retreats.”

This is a sentence from the “New Book of Ji Xiao”. Qi Jiguang is a master of warfare of a generation. The words in the book are simple and straightforward, and they all hit the point. Yi Yan’s breathing suddenly rushed, her eyes gleaming, as if she understood something.

Liang Feng smiled: “This is the battle against the army as stated in the military book. A battle involves tens of thousands of people, and it is endless. If there is no discipline, it will be a mess of sand. Not only can you not face the battle, but you will also bite yourself because of cowardice. If it is a thousand people. One mind will become a powerful force, and everything will be invincible! So the most important thing for recruits to practice is to teach them discipline. How to line up, how to turn, how to step forward, and how to face the enemy side by side.”

Having said that, Yi Yan already fully understood. Just like the previous battle against the bandits, no matter how brave he was, he couldn’t resist more than a dozen enemies with one person. However, under the command of the lord, the servants who cooperated in twos and threes behind the cart were able to block the enemy’s attack. Everyone has different temperaments and strengths. How to turn these people into a force is the key.

Seeing Yi Yan’s excitement and impatient expression, Liang Feng nodded appreciatively: “Nowadays, the trilogy is all recruits, and what you need to train is to line up. From short to tall, they are neatly arranged, and they can retreat according to orders, no matter how tall, short, fat or thin. The pace of exit is consistent. Let them learn to stand still, let them not be shaken by swords, guns, arrows and feathers, and let them know how to distinguish left and right, can advance and retreat together, without chaos. In addition, there are daily routines. Training allows them to be physically strong, run fast, and have a lot of strength. As long as they can do the same thing, they will naturally be a strong soldier.”

This is simple to say, but not easy to do. Yi Yan frowned, thought about it, and suddenly asked, “What if someone doesn’t listen?”

“If you want to fight, then you should be punished. People in the army must obey the orders of the superior. This is military discipline. But if you want to lead a team, you can’t just put pressure on it. You have to be able to share the joys and sorrows with those soldiers and eat the same thing.” Meals, do the same exercises, and take the lead on the battlefield. Over time, you will have the capital to persuade people. But this is just the foundation of the foundation. If you want to become a general, you don’t rely on this.”

“What is it?” Yi Yan asked immediately.

“It’s the art of war. How do you use your advantage to crush the enemy when you have a lot of troops? When you have a few troops, how can you surprise and win more with less. Just like the famous Han Dynasty general Huo Qubing, when he was seventeen, he drove 800 Qingqi to Huanglong, beating more than 2,000 enemies, and sealing him down. Champion Hou. At the age of 22, he led 50,000 soldiers, fought for 2,000 miles, defeated 70,000 Hulu, sealed the wolves to live in Xu, and forced the Huns to escape. The once powerful empire must sing tragedy under his iron hoof: “The loss of my Qilian Mountain makes my six beasts liveless; the loss of my Yanzhi Mountain makes my married woman colorless.””

Liang Feng almost sang the last two sentences with his knees. The body was thin and slender, and his appearance was haggard and pale. However, his eyes were licked, his thin lips were slightly raised, and his body was full of pride and yearning. At this moment, Yi Yan only felt that his heart was beating very fast, he couldn’t help taking a step forward, and said loudly, “I can also be the champion of the lord!”

Liang Feng smiled and asked: “You can ride a horse? Are you good at shooting?”

“Yes! I can shoot through the eyes of a rabbit with one arrow!” Yi Yan wished to put a bow on his horse and practice.

“Are you a qualified soldier? A competent officer?” Liang Feng slowly put away the smile on his face, “Maybe one day, I will form a cavalry. But now, what you have to do is to train this branch well. Qu, let them act like arms. Yiyan, can you do it?”

“Yes!” Yi Yan’s gray-blue eyes were shining, and his chest was undulating. He had never studied poetry and did not understand the clichés such as “The king treats me with the scholars, and I will repay the scholars”. But he knows what it feels like to be trusted and respected, especially from someone he admires with all his heart. Of course he can!

This is the spirit he needs. Liang Feng nodded with satisfaction, and a soldier who didn’t want to be a general was not a good soldier. From this point of view, Yi Yan was a very qualified soldier.

“Lang Jun, let’s use some cold house first.” Green Bamboo has turned back from the kitchen, holding a wooden plate with a few snacks on it, a bowl of bean porridge and a bowl of goat milk, and two peels. Peeled eggs.

After talking for a while, I did feel a little hungry in my belly, but it was obviously not realistic to ask Yiyan and Luzhu to eat together. It would be more appropriate to use the excuse of dealing with leftovers. Thinking of this, Liang Feng lifted a chopstick to taste a piece of dim sum and drank a small bowl of porridge. Before he was humble, he realized that he really couldn’t move his chopsticks. This **** appetite is worse than a little girl.

Liang Feng picked up the bowl and tasted the goat’s milk. It may be that it was not treated, and the smell was very fishy. He just took a sip, and he put it down and said: “I can’t eat it anymore, you can eat the rest, don’t waste it.”

Lu Zhu’s eyes widened in surprise, but Yi Yan took a step forward, picked up a bowl of Gudongdong and poured the rest of the goat’s milk into his belly.

Luzhu almost didn’t jump up: “You, you silly slave…”

Liang Feng smiled and waved his hands: “Come on, use less egg snacks. When you are all growing up, don’t be hungry.”

In this era, most people can only eat two meals a day, except for a noble person like Liang Feng. The meal at nine in the morning is called Chaoshi, and the meal at four in the afternoon is called feeding. Get up at 6 or 7 o’clock and eat at 9 o’clock, which is too inhumane for children.

Lv Zhu struggled and bit his lip. Before making up his mind, Yi Yan wanted to reach out to the bean porridge again. She slapped her hand quickly, and pushed the bean porridge in front of Liang Feng: “Lang Jun at least has to finish this bowl of bean porridge!”

“Okay.” Liang Feng also declined, and slowly began to drink the porridge.

Lu Zhu thought for a while, then reached out and took an egg and two pieces of dim sum, carefully wrapped in a kerchief, her little face blushed in her arms, and it was estimated that she was going to wait and eat slowly. Yi Yan was not so particular, and gushed things into his mouth. He just ran for ten miles and practiced catching trees again when he was hungry. Not to mention, these things were shared by the master!

The wind swept across the mat, and the meal was immediately swept away. Liang Feng smiled and pointed outside the door: “Go and stand there, put your hands on both sides of your thighs, keep your back straight and look forward. This is called a military posture. You will stand at least one hour a day in the future. ”

Yi Yan nodded, walked outside the door and made a fairly standard military posture as instructed. Liang Feng smiled and didn’t explain much. This thing is actually not more important than queue training, but for Yi Yan to learn now, it is to let him master a tempering method. With both standing military posture and long-distance running, the one who can persist will not be the lazy guy. Naturally, it can screen out the real units and wastes that want to fish in troubled waters.

Looking at the sky outside, he ordered: “Lv Zhu, go and ask Doctor Jiang to come over.”
