Cao Cao is a wise man and a very careful man.
A few days ago, Cao Cao didn't observe many things. He thought it would be useful for soldiers to turn left and right.
But after a few days, he observed that many aspects of the soldiers had changed.
Especially in the mental outlook, there is a new feeling.
Let's not say anything else. Before that, many people came to be soldiers just for a meal. Although they came, they were dead.
But today's soldiers slowly began to glow with vitality.
"This Zhang Yu is a rich man. If you make this way of eating, the imperial court will not pay enough."
Cao Cao knew the situation of Zhang Yu's army very well. He ate three meals a day, but he was full and had meat for two meals.
Nowadays, it is very difficult for many soldiers to have enough to eat. They still want to eat meat. It is estimated that they can't eat twice a month.
However, Cao Cao specially asked people to go back to investigate and calculate that what these 6000 people eat is tens of thousands of dollars a day, which is frightening because of the high military expenditure.
But Cao Cao discovered Zhang Yu's intention in a few days.
"This meal can not only quickly improve the morale of the soldiers and give them hope for life, but also improve their physique."
It is obvious that many people did not have enough to eat before, but now they not only have enough to eat, but also have meat every day. These people naturally recover very quickly.
It was carefully selected, with good quality and good food, it naturally recovered quickly.
After they slowly recovered, Cao Cao also found that their training intensity was gradually strengthened.
"There is a set of Zhang Yu leading the army. Not to mention the combat effectiveness, these people have been trained very methodically in just a few days, and the order in the army is good." Cao Cao summed up another one.
Nowadays, soldiers work, rest, walk, eat and sleep according to the rules. They are very organized, and the whole camp operates in a very orderly way.
That's why Cao Cao admired it very much.
Despite Cao Cao's view, although these benefits are very great, they have little effect on the improvement of combat effectiveness.
Zhang Yu has been training for so long, but he has never trained the soldiers to fight and arrange the troops.
"What's the matter with Zhang Yu? He didn't even train for the battle array. You know, it's impossible for a soldier to train for the battle array without half a year, but Zhang Yu didn't start it."
Cao Cao observed Zhang Yu's camp for half a month.
One day, Cao Cao did not come alone, but brought several people.
"Meng De, you summoned our brothers from Chen Liu so that we could watch Zhang Yu's training?" Cao Hong said.
"Not quite." Cao Cao looked at Xiahou next to him and Cao's clansmen and said, "before, Zhang Yu fought with Liu Bei's generals. Let me know that my strength alone is too weak, so I called you here. To show you Zhang Yu's training, I found a lot of shocking and incomprehensible things, so I'll show you."
It turns out that after the war between Guan Yu and Dian Wei that day, Cao Cao sent people back to call Cao's and Xia Hou's people over.
"You go to see separately first. I have already said hello to Zhang Yu. As for the others, we'll go back and have a detailed talk in the evening."
Cao Cao said, let them go to see the soldiers training.
At the end of the day, Cao Cao carefully observed and did not miss any details.
Cao Cao had to go out and practice with the soldiers.
If he was in his own camp, Cao Cao would not hesitate to do so, but this is someone else's territory, so he should take his own identity into consideration.
One day later, Cao Cao returned to the city.
"Tell me all about it." Cao Cao said to the people who went to see the training today.
Cao Ren first said: "Meng De, let alone other things, the order of Zhang Yu's barracks is really good. He is really a good general."
Cao Cao nodded and let the others go on.
"I don't understand, Mendel," said XiahouDun, "that their barracks are really in good order and well disciplined, but they turn left and right and walk around all day. What combat effectiveness can they have? They are expected to cross the battlefield as soon as they are attacked by the enemy."
Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan and others also expressed their views one after another.
Everyone is not optimistic about Zhang Yu's training method.
"One thing you may not know is that this army has only 18 days from the completion of recruitment. In just 18 days, Zhang Yu can do this. No matter what the combat effectiveness is, it is absolutely amazing." Wait for them to finish before serious to a few people said.
People listen to a pair of Cao Cao can't believe the appearance.
On the training ground, they saw that several soldiers and dozens of soldiers were training. During the training, the veterans carefully taught and corrected one by one.
Of course, the training is also very strict. If an order goes on, some people make mistakes or don't pay attention to the training, the so-called instructors will punish them.
The punishment is just a hundred or so "push ups."
In Cao Cao's opinion, this push-up is very easy to complete, but what they don't know is that it's also training. At the same time, people have a sense of shame. It's a shame to be punished in front of a group of comrades in arms.
In their opinion, it may not be of great use to combat effectiveness, but people do not doubt the role of these training.
At least it can make a newly formed soldier run in quickly and become a well disciplined army.
As for combat effectiveness, Cao Cao has always had reservations.
Cao Cao carefully studied Zhang Yu's past battles. Zhang Yu never had an advantage in military strength, but he won every time. Therefore, Cao Cao did not doubt Zhang Yu's army's combat effectiveness.
But Cao Cao thought that because he was watching all the time, Zhang Yu deliberately did not carry out other training, just trained these to show him.
"This Zhang Yu is defending me. How can we know how he trains behind him? I don't believe that Zhang Yu has no other good training methods. He has a lot of casualties on the battlefield, and then he constantly adds new troops. If there is no good training method, he can add new soldiers and command to reduce the combat effectiveness of the army." Said Cao Cao.
"Meng De, this Zhang Yu is defending us, but after defending for a while, he can't stop training. When all the eight captains are set up to camp together, Zhang Yu can't stop training." Cao Ren said.
Cao Cao nodded, but it was a pity. Now he had the most time. When he formed the eighth school captain, he also wanted to train. Where was he free.
If they let Zhang Yu hear these conjectures, Zhang Yu will surely feel very aggrieved. He doesn't want to hide them, but it's really not the time to train other people.
In Zhang Yu's opinion, it takes at least one month for recruits to train in line, which is less than 20 days.
But a month later, although the other training, the queue training still need to train every day.
