Fang Chao was convinced and felt ashamed of himself when he was called "Head Coach".
He maintained the posture of clasping his fists and saluting for a long time until the captain officially announced that Chang Suining was the winner.
The cheers from all around were overwhelming, like a fire that ignited this New Year's Eve, making it destined to be imprinted in everyone's memory and unforgettable.
As the defeated coach, Fang Da did not find the cheers harsh or embarrassing, because he also received goodwill.
It is difficult for people who are cared for with kindness to develop sharp anger.
At this moment, he believed even more sincerely than the onlookers that the girl deserved the cheers.
Looking at the figure who clasped his fists and saluted for a long time without moving, like a sculpture, Xiao Min and Chang Kuo sighed: "Mrs. Chang is so kind..."
Although she lost the last game, she won more things that could not be won by the word "win".
The title of "head coach" from the other party carries more weight than when it comes from the mouth of this cheap head coach.
This means that Madam Chang, as the chief instructor of the 170,000-man army in the future, will be able to issue orders without any obstruction.
Amid the bustling crowd, Master Fang, with his head bowed in shame, saw the young girl walking towards him in dark blue boots.
There were many other people surrounding her at the same time, but Fang Chao could only see that one person at the moment. She raised her hand and helped him up: "I apologize for offending you today, Master Fang, please don't blame me."
"No... I am the one who should apologize." Fang Chao stood up and asked apologetically, "Did I hurt Madam Chang just now?"
Chang Suining smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
Seeing this smile, Fang Chao felt even more ashamed, and wanted to slap himself. Looking at others, and then looking at himself, his loss was more than just on the surface. He could only say with shame: "It was Fang's men who lost their sense of proportion..."
"It's understandable that I'm not as good as others in sparring." Chang Suining said, "I'm weak, I hope Master Fang can give me more guidance in the future."
At this moment, there were already several circles of people surrounding her. The girl's voice was loud, frank and clear. She did not shy away from her own shortcomings and was not reluctant to acknowledge and praise others.
In other words, Chang Suining knew very well what he wanted from the very beginning.
She doesn't want to fight with others, she just wants to break down the prejudices that are unfavorable to her.
Therefore, it is enough to break down prejudices, and there is no need to break the dignity and backbone of others.
The other party is not her enemy, at least not at the moment.
Now they are comrades.
She has never seen the point of killing all of her comrades, and will not allow such a reason in the future, so she must set a good example herself.
Moreover, this fight was caused by her angering the other party. In a sense, she was standing at a higher angle and could see the whole picture and the result, while the other party was unaware.
Since she had the upper hand, she should have lost a round to the opponent. Otherwise, it would have been too inhumane.
At this point, some coaches belatedly understood the girl's intention of insisting on having the last round even though she knew she was weak and inferior to others.
"We were blinded by our own mistakes and our words may have offended you... Madam Chang, please forgive us!"
“…”
They all bowed their heads and apologized to the girl.
People have different hearts. No matter if they are sincere, or are following the footsteps of Master Fang, or have to bow their heads in order to weigh the pros and cons in the future, Chang Suining's goal has been achieved anyway.
She raised her hand with a smile: "No fight, no acquaintance. Thank you for your kindness. When we work together in the future, I will trouble you to give me more advice and care."
"Ms. Chang, you are too serious!"
"We are the ones who have to trouble Madam Chang. Please forgive me for my stupidity." Coach Fang's voice was hoarse, with a look of guilt on his face. Only by comparison can one see who is better. The battle simulation just now made him understand the real reason why Hezhou was able to repel Xu's army.
The soldiers they lead now...are truly a group of scattered sand and are of no use.
But it is easy to train two hundred soldiers, but it is not easy to reorganize an army of 170,000 inside and out.
Chang Suining is also very clear about this, so he has to work together with one heart. In this way, it will be meaningful to establish good relationships with his future subordinates.
She immediately showed some concern for her future subordinate and also satisfied her curiosity: "Is this the year of birth for Master Fang?"
She looked at the dark red cotton coat that was revealed under Fang Chao's robe that she had cut.
Fang Chao was stunned for a moment, then took a look and said with some embarrassment: "That's right."
"If Master Fang had told me earlier, I would have given the red feather arrow to Master Fang." Chang Suining said sincerely.
Deputy General Jin, who was squeezed to the front, laughed and said, "If that's the case, maybe Coach Fang will win!"
Fang Chao laughed helplessly. Not to mention the blessing of the red feather arrow, even if his great-grandmother, great-grandfather, and all eighteen generations of ancestors came to help him tonight, he still couldn't win.
However, speaking of these mysterious things, Fang Chao suddenly thought of something.
After this year, he turned 48. Before he went to the war, his mother personally sewed a red cotton coat and trousers for him and told him to wear them on New Year's Eve. His mother repeatedly told him that as long as he was still alive, he must wear them.
It was because his mother asked a Taoist priest to calculate for him and told him that he would encounter a hurdle when he was 48 years old, and told him not to be competitive and to bow his head when he should. If he could overcome this hurdle, he would have help from noble people and would have the opportunity to achieve great things in the future.
He was skeptical.
But at this moment, Fang Chao looked at his red cotton coat, and then looked at the girl in front of him...
It can’t be that...his difficulty and this noble person are both here?
Fang Chao was thinking.
"Sister Shepherd's Purse... do you have any dumplings left?" A coach asked loudly with a smile as he looked at Shepherd's Purse and the others who were walking over.
She Cai glanced at the atmosphere around her and saw Chang Suining smiling, so she also smiled: "Since you call me big sister, I have to accept it even if I don't have it!"
She is not a petty person. She doesn't understand other things, but she will be polite to anyone who is polite to the girl.
On the other hand, if anyone dares to be rude to the girl, her mouth and her knife will not agree!
Everyone around burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
Soon more hot dumplings were served.
Chang Kuo and Xiao Min did not return to the tent either. They took advantage of the atmosphere and drank with the soldiers around the campfire.
"Smells so good! These dumplings are just as delicious as the ones my mom makes!"
“As the saying goes…dumplings go well with wine, the more you drink, the better!”
Coach Zhu raised his wine bowl and said, "Madam Chang, I offer you a toast! Just consider it as an apology!"
Then the coach diligently wanted to pour wine for Chang Suining.
Chang Suining smiled and declined: "Thank you, I can't drink."
Everyone thought the girl couldn't drink well, and just when they were about to persuade her to just take a sip, they heard the girl explain: "I can't drink well, I'll grab people and beat them up if I'm drunk."
"..."Everyone was slightly startled, and their hair stood on end.
The competition just now was still fresh in our minds, making this sentence particularly intimidating.
Sure enough, no one dared to persuade her a second time. The coach who poured the wine quickly stopped himself and took back the bowl, not daring to let her taste a single drop.
"I can testify to that!" Ah Dian, who was sitting next to Chang Suining, was afraid that others would not believe him, so he raised his hand: "Xiao Jing was... umm!"
Yuan Xiang was quick to cover his mouth.
Ah Dian stared at him with wide eyes in confusion.
Yuan Xiang grinned and asked, "General Dian, can you guess what the filling of these dumplings is?"
Yuanxiang let go of his hand only after he saw Adian’s eyes rolling.
Ah Dian raised his chin: "I know! It's dumpling stuffing!"
Yuan Xiang gave a thumbs up in surprise: "...General Dian is truly a child prodigy!"
Adian was very proud.
Friendly laughter was heard all around again.
He usually prefers not to drink alcohol, so he drinks tea instead and shares it with everyone.
There were indeed many people who wanted to toast her, one after another. Others drank a belly full of wine, while she drank a belly full of tea.
The soldiers did not indulge themselves too much. After all, they were on a march and even though it was New Year's Eve, they should not let their guard down.
After leaving enough soldiers for night patrol, the rest of the people returned to the tents to rest.
Fang Chao was the last to leave. Before he left, he couldn't help but ask Chang Suining for confirmation: "I have one thing I don't understand... Madam Chang is extremely skilled in riding, shooting, swords and spears. In addition to her natural talent, she must have practiced hard for many years... If that's the case, then why is Madam Chang so weak?"
As an experienced coach who had fought with Chang Suining repeatedly, he was more sensitive to such things than ordinary people. He thought about it again and again but could not come up with an answer.
"Kung Fu is acquired through hard training. As for my lack of strength..." Chang Suining said as he walked, "That's because I had a serious illness last spring."
Fang Chao understood: "So that's how it is..."
It makes sense that a serious illness can reduce a person's strength, but the skills learned in prison will not be lost.
"It's okay. Madam Chang is so talented. As long as she practices hard, she will be able to regain her strength in time." Fang Chao comforted her.
Chang Suining smiled and nodded: "I think so too."
She will get back everything she once had, not just her strength.
And now, she is going to meet her former lover Adian.
…
On the other side, Xiao Min had just come out of Chang Kuo's tent. He had just sent Chang Kuo back. Of course, it was not because Chang Kuo was drunk, but to facilitate the discussion.
Chang Suining and Adian's tents were on the left and right of Chang Kuo's tent. At this moment, Xiao Min happened to meet Chang Suining.
Chang Suining raised his hand: "Commander Xiao."
"Madam Chang." Xiao Min came over and said in an admiring tone, "Madam Chang really opened my eyes today."
Only then did he get a chance to speak. Before this, Chang Suining was surrounded by a lot of people. In order to maintain his dignity, he, as the head coach, could not squeeze forward with the dumplings in his hand.
Now that he had the chance, he no longer concealed his admiration and sighed, praising her to the utmost. He then said, "Fortunately, Madam Chang is so talented that the former Crown Prince's spearmanship will not be lost..."
Chang Suining vaguely realized that he might have heard something that she herself did not know, so she just nodded and said nothing more.
Xiao Min said no more: "Mrs. Chang must be tired, go back and rest quickly."
Chang Suining raised his hand to see him off: "Master Xiao, take care."
Xiao Min left accompanied by a deputy general.
After walking for a while, the deputy general sighed and said, "Why did the commander lower himself to be so attentive to a little girl..."
Xiao Min paused and looked at him with a frown: "Where did you get this from?"
"I have no other intentions. I just feel that if you treat them like this for a long time, the Chang family father and daughter may not be able to see their own identities clearly... The people in the army are already biased towards them. If you continue to indulge them and praise them... In time, who will remember that the commander's surname is Xiao, not Chang?"
Looking at the deputy general's solemn expression, Xiao Min was silent for a while, and asked seriously: "Is Deputy General Dong drunk?"
Otherwise, why would he utter such crazy words?
Deputy General Dong was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak again: "Commander, your subordinates..."
"Okay, I know what I am doing. Since you've had too much to drink, go back and rest."
After saying that, Xiao Min patted him on the shoulder and walked away.
Deputy General Dong looked at the departing figure and felt confused for a moment.
If he understood it thoroughly, he would know that what Xiao Min must do every day is to reflect on himself three times before going to bed.
——Have you made enough progress today?
——Today, facing General Chang and Madam Chang, will I listen to their advice?
——Have your words, actions and mentality today been inappropriate? Are there any signs that you are repeating Li Yi’s mistakes?
Only after repeatedly making sure that everything was on the right track and not going astray did he dare to cover himself with the quilt, close his eyes and go to sleep.
He got this position of coach cheaply by himself, and his achievements were achieved by himself. He did nothing, but he wants prestige and people's hearts. With such a wild imagination, why doesn't he go to heaven?
Oh, there is one like this in front, and it is already in the sky.
Xiao Min admits that he has no special abilities, but his strength lies in self-awareness.
If it weren't for this opportunity, there was no one available in the court, and the empress didn't easily trust anyone, how could he have the chance to take on the position of commander-in-chief? How could he have the chance to work with a real person like General Chang?
As for the wife of the Chang family, although she is young, she has already gained fame and is a real figure.
He was lucky enough to be with such a person, it was already a good fortune, he could not take advantage of the opportunity to improve himself, how could he target him? Anyone who wanted to do such a stupid thing that was thankless and costly could do it, but he could not do it.
Xiao Min returned to the tent and continued to reflect on himself.
…
Before Chang Suining came to Adian's tent, Yuanxiang was the one who accompanied Adian here.
Ah Dian was in particularly high spirits tonight. While waiting for Chang Suining to come back, he did not forget to educate Yuan Xiang: "...I told you that little Ah Li could win. Yuan Xiang, don't be so shameless next time!"
Yuanxiang was so amused that he agreed immediately.
"I can give you one chance to correct your mistake." Adian said in a serious tone, "I won't tell Xiao Ali this time...but don't do it again next time."
Yuan Xiang scratched his head and said, "Thank you very much, General."
At this time, Adian finally yawned.
Upon seeing this, Yuanxiang said goodbye and went back, agreeing to come back to see Adian the next day.
After Yuanxiang left, Ah Che persuaded Ah Dian to go to sleep, but Ah Dian shook his head and continued to sit cross-legged, yawning and rubbing his eyes: "No, I have to wait until little Ah Li finishes his work."
But his eyelids were somewhat out of control and he sat there, nodding his head and falling asleep.
Soon, he felt a pair of cool hands covering his eyes from behind.
Ah Dian shuddered and immediately came to his senses.
"Guess who I am?" the girl asked mysteriously.
"Of course I know, little A-li!"
However, the familiar voice replied to him——
“That’s not right.”
I haven't asked for monthly tickets for a long time. Have you forgotten me? (Adian burst into tears)
Good night!
