As the sky turned bright, the horn sounded in the school grounds.

The soldiers woke up with a start, put on their clothes in a hurry, and rushed out of their respective camps like flying.

The school ground is very simple. There are no walls around it, just a simple fence made of wood. The situation inside can be seen at a glance, and the school ground covers an area not large. The south is the soldiers' camps, and the north is used for gathering.

There is an open space, and to the east are various equipment used for training.

The soldiers gathered were not too many, only more than a thousand in total.

They stood in line here, wearing their armor and carrying their swords, looking straight ahead.

Xiahou Zao yawned, rubbed his eyes and walked out of his tent. He seemed to have not slept well. He drooped his head and walked to the side of many soldiers in a hurry.

After paying attention to the soldiers who had already prepared, he ordered the lieutenant on the side to get him water, squatted down and started to wash up. After washing his face, he finally became more awake and ordered: "Let them wear armor and go around ten times!"

"

The deputy general led the more than a thousand soldiers and began to run around the school grounds. Xiahou Zao dressed up unhurriedly and stayed aside, watching them run. After watching for a moment, Xiahou Zao picked up the long whip from the side and

Then he chased after him.

"Run for me!!"

Xiahou Zao waved the long whip in his hand and followed behind the soldiers. The whip was swung with a sound of breaking through the air. The soldiers all worked hard and kept running.

Xiahou Zao was tall and powerful, and could carry someone several steps ahead with one step. Under his spurs, the soldiers kept running wildly, howling like ghosts and wolves.

In the Xiting Kingdom, even the Taiwei used them as military governors.

I saw a group of soldiers running with all their strength. Lieutenant Xiahou followed behind them with a long whip, roaring angrily. The long whip kept falling on the last few soldiers. The soldiers ran harder, some

When he couldn't support him and fell, Xiahou Zao didn't help him. He just beat him all over his head and face, causing the soldiers to roll forward and crawl forward.

"Run with all your strength! No need to maintain formation!!"

Xiahou Zao gave the order, and all the soldiers immediately ran away. The deputy general wanted to say something to Xiahou Zao, but as soon as he slowed down, Xiahou Zao whipped him, and the deputy general was screamed and ran away.

While shouting: "General!! It's been more than ten rounds! It's already fifteen times!!"

Xiahou Zao didn't care about him, "I'm not tired yet! Keep running for me!!"

In this way, he drove his soldiers for more than twenty rounds before Xiahou Zao put away his whip. The soldiers were already panting from exhaustion, and some even fell to the ground.

Xiahou Zao stood in front of them and said loudly: "Get up! Don't lie on the ground!!"

"These are all the tactics of war taught to me by the Marquis of Huaiyin! This is all for your own good!"

"In the future, when we go out to fight and run too slowly, how are we going to behead the foreign king?!"

Xiahou Zao used the same old rhetoric. After boosting their morale, Xiahou Zao led them to eat. These more than 1,200 soldiers were already all the elites of the Xiting Kingdom. Xiahou Zao sat with them to eat.

, the food is quite good

, with the growth of the national power of the Xiting Kingdom, the food is getting better and better. Xiahou Zao finished his meal in a hurry, stretched out his head again, looked at the meals of the soldiers around him, and took away some of their food.

I just started eating this dish.

The deputy general on the side asked helplessly: "Lieutenant, is this really the art of war taught to you by the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

"Of course! Can I still lie to you?"

"When Zhou Yafu asked the Marquis of Huaiyin about how to manage the army, I heard the Marquis of Huaiyin personally tell Zhou Yafu that when training troops, the general must know how to spur the soldiers and let the soldiers move forward. He must spur the soldiers at all times."

The lieutenant general was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Is it possible that when he talks about whipping, he means encouraging the soldiers instead of whipping them?"

"No, that's what the Marquis of Huaiyin said himself. Also, he said that generals should eat and drink with the soldiers. Look, aren't I just implementing the Marquis of Huaiyin's art of war?"

"He said he wanted to eat and drink with the soldiers, but he didn't ask you to steal the soldiers' food and drink, right??"

Xiahou Zao suddenly became a little unhappy, "Are you trying to say that my military training method is wrong? Look at these soldiers, can you find anyone in the entire Xiting Kingdom who is more elite than them?"

"Even if you compare it with the Northern Army, you won't be far behind!"

Xiahou Zao was quite proud, and he wasn't bragging. His soldiers were really well trained. Liu Qi was very attentive to them, and they had meat every meal. Xiahou Zao's physical spurs also played a role.

It has a lot of effects. Anyway, if these soldiers run, the Northern Army will never be able to catch up.

After finishing eating and living with the soldiers, Xiahou Zao asked his deputy to continue training the soldiers on his behalf, while he left the school grounds.

Xiahou Zao sat in the car and chattered endlessly to the person driving him in front of him.

"You've been following me for so long, but your driving skills haven't improved yet? It's such a flat road, and you can see how the car shakes. I'll have to continue teaching you how to drive another day."

The driver was an honest and honest soldier who was not good at words. Liu Qi personally arranged it for him. At this moment, when the man listened to the Taiwei's complaints, he was not angry, but just smiled stupidly.

The city is extremely lively. Merchants came out early to sell. There are merchants of different skin colors along the street, working hard to sell their products.

When they saw the familiar car, these merchants also started to avoid it very skillfully.

They were very familiar with this car. When setting up a stall here, they would be hit by this car eight times out of ten. Fortunately, they found another driver and the situation improved, but they still did not dare to get close.

Xiahou Zao inspected the surroundings with a proud face.

"These people still respect me very much. They all know to avoid me and salute when they see me!"

The carriage finally stopped at the gate of the palace, and the soldiers stationed here hurried out to pay homage to Captain Xiahou.

Xiahou Zao jumped out of the car and walked swaggering towards the palace. The soldiers who met him along the way all bowed to him. Xiahou Zao nodded arrogantly in return and walked into the innermost room. Soon, there were attendants

He took him into the inner hall.

Liu Qizheng was sitting in front of the case, with memorials from all over the place in front of him.

Seeing the Taiwei, Liu Qi's face was filled with a warm smile. He hurriedly took his hand and asked him to sit next to him. Until Xiahou Zao sat down, he still held Xiahou Zao's hand tightly, no matter what.

Not willing to let go.

"O blessed general, you are my blessed general!"

"You have made great achievements this time!! You should be rewarded! You should be rewarded!!"

Xiahou Zao also laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. This is what I should do. How dare King Kangju hide a poisonous person? I led the soldiers to defeat him this time. They will not dare to be enemies with the Han again in the future."

Got it!"

Liu Qi was stunned, "Actually, they are not Kang Ju. You hit the wrong person."

"No matter who it is! Anyway, they are harboring a poisonous person!!"

"Lieutenant, that poisonous man is here to pay homage to His Majesty, and he has no place to live. Forget it, you have made a great contribution this time anyway!"

"You have once again defeated our enemy. I have already submitted a petition to His Majesty to express your credit! Based on your credit this time, I am afraid that I can even increase the amount of food by five hundred!"

Xiahou Zao was overjoyed, but he lowered his head and made calculations, but his face was aching, "What's the use of this? My prodigal father lost another thousand food a few days ago, I took five hundred

, and I lost five hundred Xiahou."

"Captain be careful what you say!!!"

Liu Qi hurriedly interrupted Xiahou Zao's rebellious words, and then comforted him: "There is no need to worry, Lieutenant, there will be many opportunities in the future. I think you have trained the soldiers well, and the casualties this time will be minimal. In the future,

There are definitely a lot of opportunities.”

This time Xiahou Zao led his army to chase the poisonous people, but accidentally ran into the opposing Wusun people who came to graze their cattle. After the Xiongnu's defeat, the Wusun were divided into two groups, one surrendered and the other fled further north.

, often intruding Beiting Kingdom, they did not expect that,

They would encounter the Han Dynasty's army at that position. After all, there were no Han Dynasty cities, roads, or even Han Dynasty pastures there. With no defense at all, Xiahou Zao directly launched a total annihilation, and was stunned to see the defecting Wu.

All the kings of the Sun people were hacked to death.

Liu Xun, the king of Beiting, wrote a letter to thank Xiting for its help.

Liu Qile was upset. These people were hiding everywhere in the past. The Hexi Kingdom sent troops to conquer several times but could not find them. Unexpectedly, they fell into the hands of our Xiting Kingdom in the end.

Relying on this matter, Xiting Kingdom can gain a lot of benefits.

Liu Qi waved his hand, "You have made great contributions to me, and you deserve to be rewarded. Tell me, what do you need? I can give it to you!"

“I want to go back to my father’s thousand-eight-year-old house!!”

Xiahou Zao was completely unrestrained and asked for it directly.

Liu Qi was stunned and said helplessly: "This is a matter in the temple. I have no right to interfere. How about you change it?"

"Then next time you go hunting, can you let me drive the car?"

Liu Qi was silent for a long time, "Let's talk about this food town."

When leaving the palace, Xiahou Zao was laughing so hard that he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear.

Behind him were six attendants, all holding things in their arms, which were obviously rewards for Xiahou Zao.

Xiahou Zao asked them to put these wooden boxes on his carriage and tied them with ropes. Then he jumped on the carriage and shouted: "Let's go back!"

Xiahou Zao did not have a residence in Xiting, and his life and office were all on the campus. Liu Qi originally gave him a residence, but he sold it for money and exchanged it for someone else. He would never dare to sell the things that the king had given him.

It's lost, but Xiahou Zao doesn't matter at all, just sell it when you get it.

Sitting on the carriage, Xiahou Zao couldn't help but talk about his contribution again.

"We have accomplished a great feat this time. If I kill Kang Ju, I will kill the opponent's king anyway!"

"The king said that at least five hundred more food can be added!"
