The next day, Xia He and Wang Erpang arrived at the training ground early.
The army was about to set out to suppress the barbarians in the early spring, and the atmosphere in the military camp became much more solemn than before.
Fighting a war is not as simple as charging forward blindly; there are many complicated things to consider and prepare for.
First of all, we must ensure sufficient food and grass supply, and secondly, excellent weapons and equipment, which are directly related to the survival and combat effectiveness of soldiers on the battlefield;
There is also the issue of losses that cannot be ignored, including casualties and material consumption, which all need to be carefully calculated.
When Cao Cao crossed the river, his soldiers were all from the south and had never been on a boat. They suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and were not used to the local climate, so they built an iron chain bridge. However, it was destroyed by Wu Hou's fire.
From this we can see that war contains endless knowledge and strategies. For this reason, it is particularly important to read military books and summarize the valuable experience of predecessors.
During the short break, Xia He was seen concentrating on reading a thick book on military strategy.
The fat guy next to him came over while wiping his sweat:
"Brother He, can you understand such a profound military book?"
"It's okay."
In addition to personal bravery, the real advantage of an army often lies in the sophisticated use of military formations.
It is by no means as simple and crude as rushing onto the battlefield without any order.
Only by deploying troops rationally and giving full play to the coordination and cooperation between various arms can we be invincible in the fierce battle.
It incorporates the Qimen Bagua, which can sometimes significantly reduce casualties and suppress warriors.
For example, if a Bone Refiner arrives on the battlefield, wouldn't he be able to kill everyone? But if ten Blood Refiners form an army formation to surround and kill him, the Bone Refiner can only suffer regrets, and there won't even be many casualties.
Although war is a meat grinder, everyone is an individual and has parents. Who would be willing to die in vain?

"Hey, can reading military books awaken skills?"
Doesn't that mean that I'm also good at marching and fighting?
Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, it was noon.
Just when he was reading with great interest, Erpang called him to go to the kitchen to eat. Only then did he close the military book in his hand with a sense of unsatisfied desire.
Just as he stood up, a burst of rapid gong sounds rang throughout the camp.
"All military households muster at the training ground urgently! No delay!"
Upon hearing the order, many military households including Xia He cursed but did not dare to delay and hurried to the training ground.
Not long after, everyone gathered on the parade ground. Captain Fan was seen walking out of the tent with another person.
Captain Wang, who was standing nearby, lowered his voice and explained to Xia He, "This is the confidant of the Jiedushi, the Jinglüeshi, who came here to inspect our military camp."
A vassal state has a vast territory, with at least seven or eight thousand households under its jurisdiction. As a military governor is the commander-in-chief, the military governor is naturally the person he trusts the most.
The general had a gloomy face and a stern expression, which made people intimidated.
What made people feel even more uncomfortable was that his sharp eyes always scanned everyone present intentionally or unintentionally. When his gaze fell on Xia He, it stayed for a long time, causing Xia He to frown slightly.
Captain Wang, who was standing by, saw this and jokingly said, "Hey, Brother Xia, it seems that you have become famous recently. The governor has also noticed you."
As soon as these words were spoken, several soldiers around him laughed softly.
As expected, the envoy did not say much. He just glanced at everyone and then directly called out the name, "Where is Xia He?"
"Call me directly?"
When Xia He heard his name being called, he felt a little confused, but he did not hesitate at all and walked straight towards the military tent where Captain Fan was.
Everyone's eyes followed Xia He's gradually receding figure, until he completely disappeared from their sight, and then they reluctantly withdrew their gazes.
But they still couldn't calm down in their hearts, and they couldn't help but start whispering and talking to each other.
"Xia He is really lucky! If he can really get the favor and appreciation of the governor, wouldn't his status in the future soar like a rocket?"
Someone said with envy on his face.
"Who says he isn't? Maybe in a short time, he will be able to become a centurion! We have worked hard for so many years and finally climbed to this position, while Xia He has only been here for a short time... Oh, this comparison is really infuriating!"
Another person sighed in agreement.
For a while, all kinds of envy and jealousy were heard one after another.
Many people showed obvious jealousy on their faces, but even so, they knew that they were completely helpless and could only watch Xia He rise step by step with his good luck.
Open the tent.
The atmosphere inside is completely different from what people outside imagine.
There were only Captain Fan and the General in the spacious tent, and Captain Fan was standing in a lower position.
"Are you Xia He?"
The governor sat on the mahogany chair where Captain Fan was supposed to sit, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"That's me."
"I wonder what instructions the General has for you?"
The general let out a light "Oh" and straightened his body slightly. His sharp hawk-like eyes were fixed on Xia He.
Without beating around the bush, he said straight to the point: "Xia He, you have amazing talent in martial arts. It would be a waste of talent if you were trapped in this small town."
