Chapter 378: Crazy Training
Du Jingyi shook her head. Not to mention coming back, even the news might not have arrived yet. Du Jingyi was even more worried now. What a blow her husband would suffer when he knew that his grandmother had passed away?
The city of Jinling was filled with gloom and sadness, but the days in the city of Sui'an were peaceful and fulfilling.
Du Jingyi and the children were not in the general's mansion, and Gu Shaoyu was too lazy to go back, so he simply packed up his luggage and moved back to the Huben Army's camp. Everything in his life seemed to have returned to the way it was before.
They got up early and went to bed early, and trained with the other soldiers every day, even doubling the intensity. This stimulated many young boys, who secretly practiced more.
On this day, when Gu Shaoyu finished washing up and was about to lie down, Luo Yuan rushed in, complaining.
"General, don't go to the drill ground tomorrow. Look at those young men. They are like crazy. They haven't slept at any time and keep training. Lao Zheng and I asked them to stop training, but they just said that the general is so powerful, they can't stop training."
"It's like we've just said something back at you. Look, you're about to lie down. If they keep practicing like this, they'll probably have to lie down too. What should we do?"
After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu rarely showed a smile on his face, and then said disapprovingly.
"I remember that when you and Deputy General Zheng first entered the camp, you also practiced hard without sleep, which is why you have the skills and status you have today. Why can you practice but they can't? Are you afraid of losing your position?"
Gu Shaoyu's teasing did not sound happy to Luo Yuan.
"Old Zheng and I are training reasonably. Even though we train hard, we still sleep soundly when it's time to sleep. These young calves train day and night. If they continue to train like this, I'm afraid they will become useless. So General, you should go and take a look."
"How many days have you been practicing?"
"It's been at least half a month. I saw that two of them had bloodshot eyes. I wonder how long they slept every day."
Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu picked up the clothes with tight sleeves and trouser legs beside him and put them on, then followed Luo Yuan to the place where the troops were training.
Sure enough, there were about twenty young men standing inside, practicing very hard and concentrating on it.
Gu Shaoyu looked at this scene and recalled many past events when he and his cousins exercised together. However, they were not completely voluntary at that time. After all, there were four uncles standing beside them, so even if he wanted to be lazy, he couldn't stop.
"Alright, alright, come here, the general has something to tell you!"
Luo Yuan shouted loudly, and then the soldiers who had been concentrating on practicing saw him. They patted the dirt off their bodies, tidied their clothes, and came over.
"General!"
"Um."
At first glance, these people were young, strong men, tall and sturdy, and looked full of power. Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu asked a question.
"Why are you practicing here instead of sleeping? Do you want the lieutenants to see and report to me?"
"No! The General misunderstood!"
One of the little boys with bright eyes and brows was not afraid of the general's power and spoke.
"We practice because we are not strong enough. If we don't practice more, we will be the ones who die under the swords of the enemy on the battlefield. I don't want to die, so I can only practice!"
When he shouted this, the person next to him glanced at him sideways, thought what he said made sense, and then nodded and shouted loudly.
"We don't want to die, so we have to practice!"
I thought Gu Shaoyu would be pleased when he said this. After all, as a general, how could he not be pleased to see such a passionate person among his subordinates? But who knew that Gu Shaoyu snorted coldly and said.
"Stupid, the purpose of military training is to improve your physical endurance and agility, but what you are doing is just stupid. It may not produce any effect even if your brain becomes numb. Moreover, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Knowing how to kill the enemy and not be killed by the enemy is the most basic thing. If you only have strength but no wisdom, it is useless."
Hearing this, many people lowered their heads and hung their heads, as if they had done something wrong. Seeing this, Luo Yuan, who was standing next to them, couldn't help but come up to Gu Shaoyu and say.
"General, I asked you to come here to persuade them to go back and rest, not to pour cold water on them. Look at these children, they are starting to doubt themselves because of what you said. How can I take care of them in the future?"
Gu Shaoyu didn't say anything and just waited quietly.
Before Luo Yuan could say the second sentence, the boy who had just spoken spoke again.
"Thank you for your advice, General. We will definitely work hard. In the selection competition in half a year, we will definitely stand out and become the general candidate!"
His bold words surprised Luo Yuan and Zheng Deli.
This new recruit had only been in the barracks for a few days, but he was already shouting that he wanted to break out of the siege and become a general. It was obvious that he wanted to challenge these "old men", so that was fine.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
They even set a date for themselves to show up in the selection competition in half a year. This was a bit too confident. You know, although the two of them did not come out of the selection competition, they have been watched for the past two or three years. If they were really allowed to go, they might not be able to pass.
He was quite boastful and brave, like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu asked a question.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Mu Lianying. I am from Cezhou. I have been in the army for two years and am currently serving as a vanguard under General Ni Yang."
He spoke clearly and expressed himself accurately. After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu didn't say anything, but turned around and left.
Looking at the general's leaving back, Mu Lianying's eyes revealed some doubts, but they disappeared quickly. Before Zheng Deli and Luo Yuan could say anything else, he called on everyone else to go back and rest.
Looking at their backs as they left, Na Luo Yuan pretended to be sad and sighed.
"It's true that the younger generation always pushes the older generation forward. Look at these people, they are about to knock us old guys down one by one."
Zheng Deli didn't care about this.
"No, if you want to be an old guy, don't drag me into it. I haven't even got a wife yet, so how can I be old?"
Luo Yuan glanced at him and said something sarcastic.
"Oh, you haven't married yet? Then you have to find a matchmaker to finalize this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid that when the girl hears that you are still unmarried at your age, she will think that you have some hidden illness!"
