Chapter 20 The cavalry camp

In his previous life, Cao Liang was quite lazy. He would play games until late at night every day off, and then there would be no morning. He would often wake up in the afternoon.

And even when he is at work, he has to be alerted by his mobile phone alarm at least three times a day before he gets up sleepily. He doesn't even have time to have breakfast. In this way, he is also the person who is late most often in the company.

But after traveling through time, Cao Liang found that he had changed his bad habits and became a model of going to bed early and getting up early.

The reason is, of course, that the nightlife in this era is too poor. Apart from sleeping, there seems to be nothing else to do during the long nights.

It’s no wonder that the fertility rate in this era is so high. Apart from exercising in bed at night, there is almost no other fun. Moreover, they don’t know what contraception is, so naturally they have babies one after another.

Cao Liang was not married, and the Cao family's upbringing was very strict. Although there were many maids, there was no such thing as a common maid. Cao Liang was alone in a cold quilt, and had nothing else to think about except being with Duke Zhou.

It stands to reason that Cao Liang should get married at this age, but given his status in the Gaoling Marquis House, this marriage cannot be done carelessly. People in this era attach great importance to marriage, and will not marry unless they are well-matched.

Not only does one have to look at the family status, but one also has to consider the consequences of the marriage. In this era where three clans are often killed, if one is not careful, the whole family will be executed.

Therefore, marrying a wife is risky, and marrying a husband should be cautious.

Going to bed early will naturally result in getting up early. For an energetic young man, seven or eight hours of sleep a day is enough.

And the more important reason is that after Cao Liang traveled through time, he was no longer the mediocre and unmotivated ordinary person. He was now an ambitious young man with great ambitions and ambitions, working tirelessly to defeat the Sima clan.

Don't move.

Revolution requires capital. How can we do it without a good body?

Now Cao Liang's body is a little weak. Not to mention going into battle, even if he wears armor and is on duty in the palace for a day, he will be exhausted when he comes back.

How could he do it with such a physical condition, so Cao Liang secretly made up his mind to exercise for half an hour every morning, running, practicing swordsmanship, and trying to improve his physical fitness as soon as possible to adapt to this cruel environment.

This kind of training was generally very effective. In the first few days, Cao Liang could not run a few laps in the house before he was so exhausted that he was out of breath. His legs were as heavy as lead and he could no longer run.

After these days of intensive training, Cao Liang can already run more than ten laps relatively briskly, and his steps are much lighter. He doesn't feel too tired even after being on duty in the palace for a day.

Just when Cao Liang was running the twelfth lap with a heavy breath, Cao Yan suddenly appeared in the corridor, with his hands behind his back and looking at him coldly.

Cao Liang stopped and saluted: "See you, father."

Cao Yan frowned slightly and said coldly: "What's the point of running around like this every day? Do you think that in a war, those who run fast can definitely escape with their lives?"

Cao Liang really wanted to spread the common sense about sports to Cao Yan, but after thinking about it, he let it go. For people of this era, these later theories are completely fantasy. There is no Tianfang Kingdom in this era, and no one knows about it.

What does Arabian Nights mean?

"Father, haven't you heard a story?"

"What story?" Cao Yan raised his eyebrows.

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, a pair of hunters from the Song Dynasty went up to the mountains to hunt. Unfortunately, they encountered a tiger. Zhang San ran away. Li Sixai laughed and said, 'Don't be stupid. No matter how fast you run, can you outrun the tiger?'

Zhang San said while running: 'Of course I can't outrun the tiger, but I can outrun you.'" Cao Liang told Cao Yan a story he had heard.

Cao Yan suddenly felt a slight pain in his teeth. What the hell did he mean by asking? Why did he feel like he was being led astray by Cao Liang?

Cao Yan paused and said in a deep voice: "On the battlefield, a soldier who only thinks about escaping will never become a soldier who can win the battle. As a general, only marching forward bravely is the soul of an army."

Cao Liang couldn't help but feel a little pained. He said this joke story just to lighten the atmosphere. Who knew that Cao Yan didn't have any sense of humor? Moreover, running has something to do with escaping on the battlefield. If it's difficult, you can't think of running fast.

Is it useful for chasing the enemy?

"I understand, kid, and I will follow my father's teachings." Cao Liang could only say seriously.

Cao Yan showed a satisfied smile, he liked hearing what Cao Liang said.

"Are you on duty in the palace today?"

"It's my day off today and I haven't been on duty."

"Well, my father is going out of the city to the Xiaoqi camp today, so please accompany me." Cao Yan said calmly.

Cao Liang was not very happy, and was quite surprised. It was definitely a certainty that Cao Yan would go to the Xiaoqi Camp to perform his duties. In fact, Cao Liang really hoped that he could accompany Cao Yan to the Xiaoqi Camp to experience it. Cao Liang was still thinking about the reason.

At that time, he did not expect that Cao Yan would take the initiative to let him go, which was really beyond Cao Liang's expectation.

"No." Cao Liang agreed immediately.

Although Cao Liang was said to be part of the Imperial Guards Camp, as a general of the Knights Cavalry, it was not a big deal for Cao Yan to bring a few trusted people into the Knights Cavalry Camp.

Cao Yan deliberately trained Cao Liang to be a general capable of fighting on the battlefield. Being on duty in the palace was not his original intention, but was just a temporary expedient. This time he took up the post at Xiaoqi Camp and asked Cao Liang to accompany him.

It also allows Cao Liang to get to know and get in touch with real field troops and make some preparations for future job transfers.

After the father and son had breakfast, they took four servants to serve as personal soldiers, rode out of the city, and headed towards Xiaoqi's camp.

Except for the Wuwei Battalion, which serves as the Imperial Guard and is deployed in Luoyang City, the other four battalions of the Chinese Army's fifth battalion are stationed outside the city. After all, the total strength of the five battalions is more than 50,000, and it would not be suitable for all of them to be stationed in the city.

What's more, although the Fifth Battalion of the Chinese Army is an internal force and is responsible for defending the capital, when encountering a military emergency, the Fifth Battalion of the Chinese Army is likely to be mobilized immediately and put into the battlefield.

In the second year of Taihe, when Zhuge Liang launched his first Northern Expedition, the northwest frontier of the Wei State was slack. The three counties of Tianshui, Nan'an and Anding fell, and the Wei State was shaken. Cao sent Zhang to lead the Chinese army to assist Longyou, and Zhang led his army to advance thousands of miles.

, conquered Jieting in one fell swoop, forcing Zhuge Liang to abandon the three counties of Longxi and retreat to Hanzhong. The first Northern Expedition of the Shu army ultimately failed due to the decisive attack of the Wei army.

The Xiaoqi camp is located at the foot of Beimang Mountain, very close to Luoyang City. After leaving Daxiamen, walk five miles to the north, and it is far away from Jinyong City.
