Chapter 59 Hard work is very hard

Duan Jiong resolutely said to Cao Jie: Didn't you say, Da Changqiu, that you want to use first-class lecturers to teach first-class military affairs?Since I promised you at the beginning, I must teach first-class students. Cao Jie smiled wryly and had no choice but to nod in agreement. At the beginning of March, half a month before the spring break, Cao Jie and Cai Yong couldn't hold back Duan Jiong, and agreed that he would lead the whole class for a month-long rigorous training at Hulao Pass.This is an imperial military fortress, located in the southeast of Luoyang, and is one of the famous ten passes.

They will learn horseback riding, archery, driving, fighting, marching, camping, first aid and other skills there, and even learn divination, Zhouyi, weather reading, astrology, and military survival skills such as digging stoves, cooking, and chopping firewood. . Cao Song still did not allow Cao Cao to go, and locked him at home.He was so anxious that he let Ah Cai act as a ladder, stood on Ah Cai's shoulders, struggled to climb over the courtyard wall, jumped into the alley, and went straight to Taixue. Perhaps Duan Jiong and his classmates had already set off by now.Cao Cao changed direction and headed straight for the north gate of Luoyang, and might be able to intercept them.I really saw several carriages on Luoyang North Street where Duan Jiong and his classmates were riding. Duan Jiong wanted the carriage to stop, but Cao Cao ran dozens of steps, jumped into the carriage, and was injured on his elbows and knees. It crashed, and immediately blood oozed out.The carriage stopped, and Duan Jiong bandaged his wound with cloth strips.Cao Cao looked at Luoyang City, which was drifting away, and guessed in the pain all over his body that his father would definitely clap his hands and stomp his feet to scold Ah Cai when he found him gone when he came back from get off work.

With so many events, just one month is not enough, Duan Jiong had to increase the amount of training.Under the scorching sun, the students climbed the city wall with ropes, hiked with sandbags on their backs, jumped into the moat with logs on their backs, trudged through the muddy depressions again and again, shot arrows over and over again, and drove their cars into the ditch once. The pot of noodles was thrown away by Duan Jiong, and he was asked to starve and continue training... The hellish training camp on earth made the students regret being here. Duan Jiong led the students to carry out tactics such as street fighting and block warfare in Hulaoguan City. They also learned to draw city defense maps, city bird's-eye views, mark streets and buildings, etc. The course ended at the end of March.Duan Jiong watched the elastic youthful muscles being trained by him into extremely hard and intimidating tendons.In the evening before the farewell, the teachers and students drank on the city wall facing the houses in the city and the fields outside the city, and vividly described the scene of him killing the enemy in the northwest border.

Cao Cao was very envious when he saw that Duan Jiong was victorious and returned to the court. He hoped that he could make meritorious deeds like him, so he asked Duan Jiong: General, what should I do to make meritorious service...to be a marquis? Duan Jiong looked at Cao Cao, pursed his lips and thought for a while: I don't know, but when I saw my compatriots being burned, killed and looted by foreign bandits, there was only one thing in my mind, revenge for my compatriots!Drive them out of my Han country.As for the conferment of Marquis, it is a reward from the emperor. Whether it is conferred or not, I will fight the enemy just as bravely!This is our duty as border guards!

Cao Cao and the students applauded in unison, one cup after another. Gradually, everyone was drunk. When Duan Jiong heard that Cao Cao would compose a Fu impromptu, he ordered Cao Cao to compose a poem. Cao Cao watched the smoky trees blurred in the setting sun, outside the rice paddies, and the farmhouses inside and outside the pass. Compared with the inhuman life of the previous month, it was like enjoying himself in the sky.Suddenly sighed: the cliff is unclimbable, and the light car fell into the river. The students laughed, isn't this the ugliness they made during training? Cao Cao continued to compose Fu: the bow and arrow fly like passing away, and the contradictions are in conflict.

Duan Jiong followed the students and shouted: Good!it is good! Amid the urging voices of the crowd, Cao Cao uttered the last two sentences: Jianer Huai Suzhi Xi, riding a horse to Yurong Qiang.Praise my majesty, the empire is actually peaceful. The students applauded again, Duan Jiong also nodded frequently. Duan Jiong worked hard to teach the students, which benefited Cao Cao and his classmates a lot.Among the students in this class, there will be a Wei Wang (Cao Cao), a Zhi Jin Wu (Hu Mu Ban), a Yuzhou Mu (Yuan Shu), and a Chenliu prefect (Zhang Miao). As soon as Cao Cao returned home in Luoyang, he saw Xia Houyuan hiding in the corridor and pointing at Cao Song's room. It seemed that something was wrong.

Today is a day off, Cao Song was reading a book in the room, when he heard Cao Cao coming back, he put down the slip of paper with a slap, and walked to the door quickly, thinking about it, he was still walking squarely with his hands behind his back, and appeared in the corridor.He worried about Cao Cao for a whole month, and wanted to send his pent-up complaints to Cao Cao.Cao Cao's face is dark, with a faint beard at the corners of his mouth, his figure is tall and straight, and even his steps become masculine, calm, and even have a deterrent force, which makes Cao Song feel the obvious change. It seems that military training has indeed changed not only Cao Cao's skin color , as well as spiritual and inner.

Cao Song instantly turned his stomach full of blame into: Go wash up, eat later, your mother left you a big pot of pickled venison. Cao Cao jumped up: ah!venison!Thank you, Father! Cao Cao ran and jumped into the yard, and went to wash the room with Xia Houyuan. There was a sound of water in the bathroom, and there were bursts of laughter from the two of them. Cao Song stood in the corridor, shaking his head: Hey, I haven't grown up yet. On the first day of April, the summer semester started, and the study became more and more intense.In addition to the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", the main courses of this semester also include arithmetic, sacrifice, divination, and "Hundred Crafts".

How can one get the talent to govern the world and defend the country without putting in a lot of hard work?In order to prevent the students from becoming useless scholars and formulate a set of strict "Hundred Skills" courses, what kind of experience will Cao Cao and his classmates experience?
