Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 234: The road may be long, but we will reach our destination if we keep going! (6k)

At that time, Su Yun rushed down on horseback first, and Huo Yong and others also followed him and ran down madly. They originally thought of fighting to the death, but they didn't expect to see Su Yun and another sharpshooter chasing after the Dangxiang cavalry. It was truly a miracle that was rarely seen in life.

While in Mizhi Village, they learned that this person was Su Yun's follower, named Wang Shunchen.

Wang Shunchen shouted, "It's not a war, it's not a war! From today on, all the drills in the Qiying Camp will be personally led by General Su. It's not a war, it's not a war! Everyone, eat without worry!"

When they heard this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but then they quickly rushed over to get the steamed buns, fearing that they would be gone if they were too late. The rest did not matter, whether it was training or fighting, they had to eat first.

Su Yun stood in the barracks and looked out. Seeing the noisy scene, he couldn't help laughing.

There is a long way to go.

However, it doesn’t matter. As long as you take the first step, you will reach your destination even if the road is long.

Su Yun waited for a quarter of an hour until the soldiers had finished eating. Then he walked out of the barracks into the playground accompanied by Qi Ying and seven or eight captains, immediately attracting the attention of all the soldiers.

Brother Luguan was sharp-eyed and whispered, "It's Brother Qiji!"

Huo Yong patted the man's head and said, "That's a fake name. He's Su the steward!"

Huo Yong raised his head and saw Su Yun's gaze sweeping over him, then he nodded slightly to him.

Huo Yong was immediately filled with joy.

Su Yun stood still in the middle of the field, looking at the soldiers standing, sitting or lying on the field, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Everyone, get up! Get ready for training!"

The soldiers stood up reluctantly one by one, and some even muttered in a low voice: "Who the hell are you? Why are you making such a fuss?"

These words were spoken in a low voice, but Su Yun heard them after all.

Su Yun pulled the soldier out and shouted, "Say what you just said again!"

The soldier turned pale with fear. He didn't know Su Yun, but Su Yun was the commander and many people came out with him. It was no wonder that he was an important figure.

Someone actually heard what I said, insulting my superior. This is a violation punishable by a military stick!
The soldier trembled and said, "I didn't say anything. Don't hit me, don't hit me!"

Su Yun patted the soldier on the shoulder, looked at the gathered soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "Let me introduce myself to you. I am Su Yun, the Imperial Court Assistant, the General Manager of the Jinglüe Division of Fuyan Road, and the Military Officer of Suide. I am also Su Qinxia, ​​who annihilated dozens of Xixia Iron Harriers with his own horse, bow, and sword some time ago!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was in an uproar.

Official positions such as Chao San Lang, Qiu Ji She Lang, Fu Yan Road General Manager, etc. are indeed intimidating, but the soldiers know that they are not from the same world as them and may not care much.

But this guy who single-handedly annihilated dozens of the Xixia Iron Harriers whom they feared like tigers is different. What is this? This is the God of War!
What the military admires most are these tough guys with explosive martial arts skills. It’s not because of any other reason, but because only when you have worked hard, you will know how awesome the people standing at the top of the industry you are working hard for are.

The soldiers make their livings with swords and guns, so they know how incredible it is for someone to be able to fight against hundreds of Iron Harriers alone!

So, after the uproar in the audience, hundreds of eyes turned to Su Yun with admiration.

Su Yun nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that this accident was really a good thing. Promotion was secondary. The key was that through this incident, not only could Qi Keyong support him in training soldiers, but now the soldiers respected and feared him. Then, the resistance to the subsequent things would be a little smaller.

Su Yun took a closer look and was quite satisfied. The basic quality of the soldiers here was not bad. Well, at least they were taller than the average person, their expressions were more arrogant, and also more slick.

Su Yun was quite satisfied that he didn't have a big belly or any white hair.

But it is understandable. After all, this is the front line. People will die in war. Even for their own safety, the generals have to select some trustworthy soldiers.

Su Yun said loudly: "When I was fighting the Iron Harriers, you were all my comrades who fought side by side with me. I am very happy to see you all again."

When the soldiers heard this, they all smiled, but their smiles froze the next moment.

Because Su Yun said: "...This time, I proposed to the commander of the Xiangdu Army and other generals to lead a battalion of soldiers for training, and strive to teach them my skills. General Qi and his men were very happy, but they had different opinions from me on the specific choice.

I was going to choose you, after all, you are my comrades who fought together, but Qi Shuai and the others disagreed. They said that you have been scared by the Iron Harriers and you are useless! ..."

When these words were spoken, the soldiers' expressions froze, and then they were in an uproar.

One soldier said boldly: "General Manager Su, we are not useless, we are still good men!"

Immediately, many people followed suit and shouted: "Yes, we are still heroes and men!"

Su Yun nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right! I still believe in you, so I chose you, and I hope you won't let me down!"

Everyone in the room looked at Su Yun solemnly.

Su Yun's clear voice echoed over the school field: "...Today's breakfast consisted of three steamed buns and a large bowl of thick rice porridge. Everyone ate it. From now on, every day's breakfast will be of this standard!
For lunch and dinner, each person gets four steamed buns per meal, and each meal also comes with one or two ounces of five-layer fat meat!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience exclaimed in surprise.

"What? From now on, breakfast will be the same as today, and lunch and dinner will have big fat meat? Is this going to be Chinese New Year every day? How is this possible!"

"That's impossible. I've never heard of any army having such good food. Only officers can have such a standard of living, right?"

"Butler Su is teasing us, hahaha, how can we have such a good life? With such a good life, wouldn't we be going to heaven? Hahahaha."

"..."

The soldiers couldn't believe it at all, even the commander behind Su Yun showed an expression of disbelief.

Su Yun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, you will see it, eat it, and swallow it anyway, and then you will naturally believe it.

However, I let you eat so well because our training in the future will be much stricter than before. If anyone can’t stand it, they can quit at any time.

Well, now let me tell you about the daily training standards. That is, three training sessions a day, one before breakfast, one after breakfast, and one in the afternoon. In the evening, various entertainment activities will be mainly carried out.

Anyone who wants to quit now can do so. When you can't train anymore, you can quit at any time. However, if you quit, you can no longer stay in our camp, but will be assigned to other camps. As for the daily meals, you will naturally no longer be able to enjoy them.

In addition, starting today, your monthly salary will be paid in full. I will not be responsible for other battalions for the time being, but in our battalion, as long as we have enough food and eat well, our salary will be paid in full. This is my promise to you!"

After Su Yun finished speaking, the playground became lively again.

The so-called "serving as a soldier and eating food" is the simple idea of ​​many soldiers. Some of the soldiers here are conscripted, but most of them come here to serve as soldiers on their own initiative because their families are too poor. Serving as a soldier and eating food is their most basic need.

Su Yun did not mention anything like being able to become an official if one fights in a war and makes meritorious contributions in the future. After all, those things are too far away. Now, in order to strengthen the confidence of these people, they must start with food and salary.

Su Yun stretched out his hand and pressed it, saying: "Now, does anyone want to withdraw? If anyone wants to withdraw, please bring it up immediately."

Su Yun looked around and found that no one was willing to quit at this time. After all, who would be willing to quit when there was an opportunity to eat delicious food and get a full salary?

Besides, didn’t Su Yun say that if he wanted to quit in the future, he could do so at any time? So there’s no need to rush, just wait and see.

Seeing that no one had quit, Su Yun smiled and said, "Okay, since no one has quit, let's start today's training. Coach Wang, let's get started."

Wang Shunchen nodded, and roared like thunder, "Soldier Su Yun, get in line!"

Su Yun touched his feet together, saluted, and said loudly, "Yes!"

Then Su Yun trotted into the soldiers, found the location of Huo Yong's team, and joined the line without looking away.

Su Yun’s behavior made everyone’s eyes widen: What is going on?
Manager Su wants to train with us?
Then Wang Shunchen shouted to Qi Ying and the captains behind him, "Please, soldier Qi Ying, and all the other soldiers, line up together. From now on, there will be no general manager, no commander, no captain, no captain. This is where I, Coach Wang, take charge!"

Qi Ying was stunned, then he reacted and immediately imitated Su Yun by touching his feet together, giving a military salute, then trotted over and stood behind Su Yun.

The other captains understood what was happening at once, and quickly followed suit, saluting and trotting over, then lined up behind Su Yun.

Wang Shunchen looked fiercely at the more than 500 people on the parade ground and shouted, "Now, run after me and keep the formation. Those who fall behind will not get any fat meat for lunch!"

After saying that, Wang Shunchen ran in front. The soldiers behind him were a little confused, but they hurried to catch up. Suddenly, more than 500 people started moving, but their steps were very messy.

Wang Shunchen shouted as he ran: "Now follow my pace, one, two, one! One, two, one! One, two, one!..."

Wang Shunchen shouted very rhythmically. Many soldiers didn't understand why at first, but slowly, although the formation was not neat, the footsteps gradually became more similar. The chaotic footsteps became much less, and after running for a while, the footsteps became one.

"One two one!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"One two one!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

After completing a circle, Wang Shunchen stopped shouting slogans, but his footsteps remained in unison.

Amid the sound of orderly footsteps, everyone felt a spontaneous sense of excitement. This feeling was powerful and immediately made many people feel proud.

Of course, what made the ordinary soldiers even more excited was that the commanders, captains and other people who were originally high up were also running with them. Even the chief steward of the Jinglüe Division and the minister of the court, Su Yun, was in their formation. This feeling was extremely wonderful.

The training ground of Qiying Camp was not small, and one lap was about 400 meters. After one lap, many soldiers were already panting. The sequelae of their lack of nutrition had come out, and their bodies were very weak. After the second lap, no one fell behind, but many people's faces had turned pale.

By the third lap, the orderly footsteps at the beginning had become scattered, and some people had begun to fall behind.

But the main force was still running. When they reached the fourth lap, the people who had fallen behind were caught up. Wang Shunchen directly drove them out and asked them to stay in the western corner of the parade ground. More than 200 people were driven out in this wave.

By the fifth lap, more and more people were falling behind, and only about 200 people were still running. Su Yun, who was originally at the back, gradually ran to the front and moved forward side by side with Wang Shunchen.

Qi Ying and most of the captains persisted to this circle.

The meals of the captains were much better than those of the soldiers on weekdays, and basically all of them knew some martial arts, so their physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary soldiers, so they reluctantly followed.

But it was obvious that they couldn't hold on any longer.

It is normal for people who don’t run long distances on weekdays to not be able to sustain a 2,000-meter run.

The soldiers who fell behind watched Su Yun and the others continue running in the corner. In addition to Su Yun, Qi Ying and others, there were about three hundred other soldiers following them.

Wang Shunchen shouted: "Those who have run five laps and cannot continue can go to the east to rest. There will be fat meat for you to eat at mealtime.

If you can run, keep up. If you run one more lap, you can get an extra piece of fat meat. If you run two more laps, you can get two more pieces of fat meat. There is no upper limit! "

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers who were still running showed joy and ran even faster.

However, after running another lap, more than a hundred people gave up, leaving only about a hundred people running.

Those who retreated were arranged to stay in the southern corner, where there were also four or five captains.

By the seventh lap, only a few dozen people were left.

Qi Ying gritted his teeth and stayed by Su Yun's side. In fact, he had already been exhausted, but he was still struggling to hold on.

As a middle-level military officer, his political sensitivity was much higher than others. He could naturally see that Su Yun was carrying out some kind of reform or experiment.

During this process, many people will be selected. Once they are recognized by Su Yun, their future prospects will be very different from what they are now.

Therefore, even if he died here, he would not give up this opportunity easily.

By the eighth lap, Qi Ying already felt a taste of blood in his throat.

But at this time, only a few people could run away, including Wang Shunchen, Huo Yong, himself, a soldier he did not know, and Su Yun.

Su Yun took a look and felt that it was almost done, so he smiled and said, "Okay, it's almost done, you all take a walk and take a break, I just felt something, I want to sweat a little first."

As he spoke, he stretched out his long legs and rushed to the front in a flash.

Su Yun's speed was seen getting faster and faster, but in a blink of an eye, he was running at full speed like an ordinary person, and Su Yun looked very relaxed.

Qi Ying was horrified: It has come to this, and he can still run?
Is this person a beast?
Hundreds of soldiers who had been resting on the side were all stunned, watching Su Yun run round and round.

"It's the fifteenth lap!"

Someone shouted in surprise.

Wang Shunchen originally wanted to compete with Su Yun, but after running for a while, he was left far behind. He immediately gave up the idea and was shocked in his heart: This guy is really a beast!

After Su Yun ran eighteen laps, he felt the blood boiling in his chest. He couldn't calm his breath down, so he slowed down and ran two laps slowly to stabilize his breath. After he stood still, he relaxed his body a little, and suddenly white smoke came out of his whole body.

This is a way of practicing Plum Blossom Fist, which is somewhat similar to internal force. Of course, it is not as mysterious as internal force. It is just a method of luck. This method makes him far superior to ordinary people in strength and endurance.

The soldiers all looked at Su Yun with awe.

Su Yun ran a full twenty laps, which was simply inhumane for someone who could only run four or five laps.

Most of these soldiers had heard of Su Qinxia's deeds, and some had even seen it on the spot, but some of them ran fast at the time and did not see Su Yun's performance, so they did not quite believe it. But today they were all convinced.

They were impressed by Su Yun's ability and his willingness to train with them. The former was shocking, and the latter was unbelievable.

After all, in this era when military men were generally looked down upon and even high-ranking generals were looked down upon by the court, these low-level soldiers were even more despised. If they did the slightest mistake, they would be executed without anyone caring.

Those high-ranking civil servants would not even roll up their sleeves to train with them, and they would probably feel it would pollute their eyes if they even looked at them for one more second.

But what surprised them even more was that Su Yun actually had dinner with them!

After running, Wang Shunchen began to direct everyone to conduct queue training. Queue training is extremely important both in later generations and now.

In fact, the need for formation training was even greater at this time than in later generations. The formation training in later generations was more about training soldiers' obedience and discipline.

But this era has a more practical significance, that is, when fighting, you can maintain the formation, whether facing cavalry or infantry, you will be more lethal!

After a month of undercover training, Su Yun felt that the Song army had not put enough effort into their formations. Or, in other words, the intensity of training every five days was basically no training at all.

So he discussed with Wang Shunchen, and this time they used running to build up their physical strength, and used queues to practice discipline and formations, which would be the basis for all subsequent advancements.

I get up early in the morning, have breakfast, and run, around nine o'clock. I practice from nine to about eleven o'clock, and then the chef comes in and starts cooking next to the training ground.

Some people were making steamed corn bread, while others were processing a big fat pig next door. They would steam the corn bread over a firewood fire, while the pork was stewed in a big pot with some simple and cheap spices such as star anise and bay leaves.

After a while, the aroma of the steamed buns and the taste of pork fat made the hungry soldiers drool!
“There’s really some fat meat to eat!”

Some soldiers couldn't believe it.

The masturbator's eyes sparkled and his mouth was watering. He was extremely excited. He ran eight laps, and he could get a piece of fat meat for five laps. For every extra lap, he could get an extra piece of fat meat. That meant that he had four pieces of fat meat for his lunch!

That’s right, the soldier who was one of the last five to run away was him, the masturbator.

Therefore, the fact that some people can still have the energy to masturbate under such difficult conditions already shows their physical talent.

At around half past eleven, Wang Shunchen ordered the meal to begin.

Brother Luguan ran to the dormitory to get his lunch box and rushed directly to the big pot. The others were also fast.

The man ran straight to the braised meat. The soldier who was recording said, "He has four pieces of meat."

The chef quickly scooped out four pieces of thick and fatty braised meat for Brother Luguan. The braised meat was red and greasy, and you could tell at a glance that it was top-quality fatty meat.

Brother Luguan didn't even bother to take the steamed bread. He just picked up a piece with a spoon and took a big bite. Wow, as soon as the meat entered his mouth, the rich fat immediately filled his entire mouth!

Brother Lu was so moved that he almost shed tears.

When will I be able to eat meat with such big mouthfuls? I have never had this experience in my life!

Under the envious gazes of others, Brother Luguan directly finished a large piece of braised meat.

At this time, a dispute suddenly broke out.

"I also participated in the running laps, why didn't I!"

"You can only get fat if you run five laps. You only ran three laps. How dare you come and make trouble?"

"I'll run five laps next time, and you give it to me first this time!"

"Bullshit! Come back next time after you've run five laps. You definitely didn't do that this time. Get out of here! If you dare to pester me again, I'll beat you with a military stick!"

The masturbator chuckled.

Someone else's voice came from behind, saying, "Ah, it's you, Captain. Why are you here to eat with us? Ah, Steward Su, you're here too..."

Brother Luguan looked back in disbelief, only to see Su Yun, Commander Qi, and the captains also queuing up to eat.

The hierarchy in this army is very strict. Not to mention the commander, even the captain would not eat with the soldiers like them. The company commander would eat at the special kitchen. Why are they all here today?

Training together was already shocking, but I actually had to eat with these dirty soldiers?
The soldiers in front hurriedly tried to make way, but Su Yun shouted, "No one is allowed to make way. Line up. We are all human beings. Whoever should go first should go first!"

After these words were spoken, the soldiers in front did not dare to move. They received their meals tremblingly, then quickly ran away to find a place to squat down and eat.

Su Yun and others lined up at the back. The chef wanted to give the meat according to the number of circles Su Yun made. Su Yun smiled and said, "Only three pieces are enough. I can't eat more than that."

Su Yun received the meal, and under the secret observation of many soldiers, he walked to a place in the training ground, sat down and started eating.

Suddenly, many soldiers showed strange looks in their eyes.

Some veteran soldiers chuckled and said, "Famous generals in ancient times ate and slept with their soldiers. It seems that our General Su has imitated the ancient sages, but I don't know how long he can keep it up."
