lying down

Xu Shiji sat cross-legged behind a short table, drinking the rice porridge in the bowl, and at the same time picked up the green vegetables on the plate with his chopsticks. When the chopsticks were half down, he stopped suddenly and asked softly, "Is there any movement over there in the special brigade?" !"

The guard standing beside him clasped his fists and said, "Captain, everything is fine, it's just..."

Xu Shiji turned his head to look at the guard, and saw that he could not help smiling, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Why, is there something new and wonderful about it, tell me quickly!"

The personal guard took a step forward and said: "I heard what the generals in the camp said. Around today's hour, Ouyang ordered the soldiers assembled within a hundred breaths to eat, and the soldiers after the hundred breaths were not allowed to eat. He himself did not care about his injuries. Standing there stupidly starving with a group of soldiers who got up late, everyone passing by in our camp couldn't help laughing, it was a joke!"

Xu Shiji shook his head and smiled, put the vegetables into his mouth, chewed them a few times, swallowed the rice porridge and vegetables in the bowl with a sip, and said with a sigh of relief: "Everything that this kid thinks, says, and does comes out Unexpectedly, it looks novel and funny, but there is truth in it. Don't just look at it, don't look at it. Take what happened last night as an example. Do you think he is just talking empty words? !"

The guard frowned and thought about it. Since the governor said so, it stands to reason that what happened last night must have some meaning, but after thinking about it, he didn't find anything worthy of his attention, so he couldn't help being a little puzzled: "Dudu, I have no idea!"

Xu Shiji got up slowly, and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, learn more, ask more why, there will always be gains, and there will always be a time when you lead the army in the future, as for Captain Zhenwei Ouyang Yu?" , as long as he doesn't violate the important rules, let him do it, I'd like to see how the "king of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty" in his mouth is trained in a month!"

The soldier nodded in agreement, but he murmured to himself: "Training a strong army for at least two or three years, and at most four or five years, what can he achieve in only one month..."

The 59 people stood in six rows in the open space in front of the camp. Although their standing posture was far from the requirements of the brigade commander, they were much more energetic than yesterday. In general, it looks decent.

It's just that the sound of "grunting" and sniffling in the queue broke the solemnity, and many starving soldiers felt a little bit of resistance in their hearts, thinking to themselves that it was because they woke up a little late Son, as for letting them skip breakfast, are they still standing in the freezing cold for half an hour?

They still felt that the young brigade commander and captain defended themselves yesterday, but now, all the good thoughts in their hearts have been washed away by this meal and punishment.

Ouyang stared at the expressions on the faces of these people, and guessed their thoughts clearly. He walked into the queue, put his face in front of those who were starved and punished one by one, and asked coldly: " But I hate that I didn't let you have breakfast, but I hate that I let you stand in this cold weather for half an hour without understanding, but think that getting up late after the sound of the horn is nothing important!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many of the 14 people lowered their heads, feeling guilty.

Ouyang turned and walked out of the queue, stood in front of the crowd with his feet crossed and his hands behind his back, and asked sharply: "You all have such thoughts, let me ask you, if the enemy raids the camp and the horn sounds, if you still dawdle like this, But if you have time to put on your armor, if you have time to pick up a weapon, you may be set on fire and burned to death in the camp before you even come out. Even if you come out, you will be hacked to death by the swarming enemy soldiers. There are still lazy sleeps to sleep in, but there is also the easy matter of just starving here for a meal and standing for half an hour, there is a fart, and it will be useless when your intestines are full of regrets!"

He let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "Don't treat everything in the army as a trifle. In this war, anything can happen. I don't want to see you die in this seemingly insignificant place without even killing an enemy." Get used to it, understand!"

"understood!"

"Understood." Scattered answers sounded, sounding weak.

Ouyang roared: "Got it!"

"Understood!!!." All the soldiers roared in unison, piercing the sky.

Ouyang continued: "Starting tomorrow, you must dress neatly and gather here within [-] breaths after the sound of the horn. If you are too clumsy to make it in time, then you will never leave your armor, your sword in your hand, and leave an ear for me when you sleep!"

After talking so much, Ouyang's throat was a little dry, so he paused for a while.

Liu Yuxuan stepped forward in two steps, clasped his fists and saluted: "Brigade Commander, we actually understand what you said in our hearts. It's just that it's been a long time, and we only know how to fight on the battlefield. After returning to the camp, it will not be so strict. What you said today, We must keep it in mind, you see, brothers are waiting for training..."

Ouyang nodded, thinking that it's useless to talk too much, just tap it appropriately, and it won't work if you talk too much.

He said with a clear and dry voice: "The special training will officially start today, but everyone should know what to expect. This training may be a hardship that you have never thought about. Let's not talk nonsense. There are four items today: Stand in a military posture, give a military salute, walk in unison, walk forward, the team leader goes out and stands in a row, I will only teach you eight people, and you will be responsible for teaching the rest of the brothers!"

After all, he dressed up solemnly, stood in front of the eight people and explained: "The first item is to stand in a military posture, and watch my movements: straighten your feet, keep your heels together, separate your toes, keep your legs together, draw your abdomen in, straighten your legs Keep your chest and head up, look forward, spread your shoulders open, let your hands hang down naturally, and divide the Qi in your body into three strands: one strand goes down from the dantian along the legs, making the legs straight and clamped like pillars, The legs are full of vigor, tightly grasping the ground, and there is a feeling of stepping on the ground; the breath is not enough to the legs, the legs are weak, and the lower body is unstable. A stream rises from the dantian and spreads to the shoulders and the top of the head, making the shoulders flat. Standing upright against the sky, staring straight ahead without squinting, not blinking when the wind blows sand and blinding the eyes; not full of breath, body slack, eyes dull, one pulls the abdomen and lifts the buttocks, protects the body, making the body as strong as steel Otherwise, the waist will be weak and not straight up and down, and it will be able to coordinate the Qi in the body with every muscle and bone in the body, and stretch the Qi and strength perfectly, forming the largest combined force, standing like a tall and straight pine tree, forming a Five o'clock and one line!"

After he finished speaking, the eight people were already dumbfounded.

Ge Ye swallowed and spit, nana said: "Eighth brother, are you sure you are talking about standing posture!"

Ouyang thought he had made a mistake, so he thought about it for a while, and replied seriously: "Third brother, that's right, I'm talking about standing in a military posture!"

Ge Ye smiled wryly and said: "This is almost catching up with the inner exercises I've heard before, what about 'three strands of atmosphere, starting from the dantian', this is the first time in my life that I've heard people say that standing up to this point !"

Ouyang was helpless, this is the way to stand in military posture, there is no way to be lazy, "Just learn from me, and you will get used to it." After that, he stood in a standard military posture, and it was as if he was about to unsheath The sharp sword suddenly burst out.

Liu Yuxuan, Ge Ye and others took a general look, and continued to adjust while doing it. After Ouyang saw how they were doing, he stepped forward to check and correct them one by one.

It's okay for Ouyang to stand alone, these eight people were corrected by Ouyang once, and they stood in a row, and they were really energetic and beautiful.

"Marshal Lu, we have to learn too, this is good!"

"Team Zheng, stand behind him, he's really handsome, hurry up and learn to teach us!"

When a group of soldiers saw these eight people standing there like eight javelins, they were all moved and couldn't help booing and shouting.

Ouyang walked back and forth, adjusted the posture of the eight soldiers to the best posture, and said loudly: "Okay, hold on and don't move around, and let me tell you how to perform the military salute. The essentials: the upper body is upright, and the right hand is quickly raised , five fingers close together and straightened naturally, the middle finger slightly connected to the temple, at the same height as the eyebrows, the palm of the hand facing down, slightly outward, the wrist must not be bent, the right arm is slightly flat, slightly in line with the shoulders, and at the same time, look at the recipient!"

After all, on the basis of the original military posture, a crisp military salute came with a "snap", repeated several times, and then taught eight people by shouting the slogan "salute, salute".

By the time Goose Walk was finished, an hour later, all the soldiers found it enjoyable to watch, shouting and booing over there, but the officers here were dumbfounded, tired and sore all over, and when it was time for lunch, eight This officer has initially mastered the basic essentials of the four movements, but these things are too new for them, and everyone cannot absorb and accept them all at once, and it takes time to digest them.

Ouyang wiped off his stinky sweat. He was tired from being taught, and he couldn't be more relaxed as a teacher. After the eight people went down to teach the soldiers, Qin Feng came up and asked, "Eighth brother, do you still have this weird thing?" How much, it seems that you have spent a lot of time, we only have one month before the competition, are you sure about it!"

Ouyang put his butt on the ground, looked at the three of them and said: "This is not something that can be practiced in a day or two at all, but it is the foundation of building a house and the foundation of an army. It must be learned. One month is really short. I There will be targeted training for everyone, so don’t worry, just focus on training, and you will be tired by then!”

Wu Lang knelt down and said, "Eighth brother, I'm not afraid if I'm too tired. We made such a big commotion in the camp last night, and now everyone knows about it. Don't let us be named!"

Ouyang shook his head, fixed his eyes on the soldiers who were practicing over there, and wanted to laugh seeing their strange movements, and said while watching: "You will never lose your reputation, and you won't practice like an embroidered pillow. I'm afraid that when the soldiers are really trained, others will squeeze their heads and try to sneak into our special brigade!"

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help thinking about it. In the past, no one could control it. If the death squads like those in the downtown area really became the king of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, they might make other people's eyeballs fall out. Glancing at it, he turned around and practiced like the eight officers...
