Chapter 150 - Zhao Zhe

Zhao Zhe was standing on top of the walls of the Dazhang Pass, looking into the distance!

"What is Big Brother looking at?" A middle-aged general came behind Zhao Zhe and asked curiously.

"I'm wondering when Curved End will be able to come to Dazhang Pass!" Zhao Zhe laughed.

"Is Big Brother sure that Curved End will come to Dazhang Pass?" The middle-aged general said in shock.

"Of course I'm sure! I've been with him for almost twenty years, and I know him best! On the surface, he appeared to be a wise man who was good at fighting, but in reality, he was indecisive and had no ambition! At the time when Valkyrie had just invaded, the north fell and the Emperor Kang became the Great Marshal of War, I advise him to follow Emperor Kang! With his experience at that time, whether it was Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, or even Wang Yan, he was far inferior to them. If he had followed the Emperor Kang, he would have been the number one general under the Emperor Kang! Unfortunately, he didn't listen to me! In this chaotic world, the hero should have taken the opportunity to establish his unparalleled achievements, yet he was hiding within the Jingyuan City and guarding the hundred thousand soldiers without doing anything! Afterwards, when His Majesty ascended the throne of Middle Han Area, he did not want to rely on His Majesty. With his personality, he would never dare to go against His Majesty! If His Majesty stops Jingyuan Army's food supply, he will have no choice but to head to Middle Han Area! Just watch and see. Within two to three months, he will head to Hanzhong City! " Zhao Zhe said.

"I have always admired General Qu, I never thought that General Qu would actually be this kind of person!" middle-aged general said.

"He has always been this way! If it wasn't for that, Wang Shu, Liu Qi and I wouldn't have been so disappointed with him, to the point where we all sided with His Majesty and helped him to clear the throne, helping him to truly grasp power! " Zhao Zhe said.

"Big Brother, Hanzhong City has received some news. His Majesty is currently in the Forbidden Army and has been training those Expeditionary soldiers s everyday. Have you heard of the news?" middle-aged general said.

"I've heard of it! I also heard that His Majesty is in the Imperial Guard, sleeping and eating with those crude soldiers. Whatever those soldiers train His Majesty, they will train him! "Whatever suffering those soldiers have to suffer, your majesty will suffer too!" Zhao Zhe said.

"Is Your Majesty trying to bribe the will of the army?" middle-aged general said.

"Naturally, it is the tactic to bribe the military's hearts! If I were those ordinary lowly soldiers, I would be extremely grateful to His Majesty for following me to eat, sleep, and train! The Imperial Guard was originally the Home Breaker, and when Zhe Keqiu was killed by the Emperor, there must be someone in the Home Breaker who was dissatisfied. With the Emperor coming here, no matter what the generals did, the ordinary soldiers must be loyal to the Emperor! The Imperial Guard would never betray His Majesty again. They would become the sword of His Majesty's hands! Your Majesty, I am impressed by your means! " Zhao Zhe said.

"I heard that His Majesty's training method in the Forbidden Army is different from before. Now, Expeditionary soldiers has to stand still everyday and run for more than 10 Li everyday! The martial arts practice was also different from before. Although it was called a formation array, not a formation array, and was much more orderly than when a soldier was training alone, it was not as mysterious as the formation array! Brother, what do you think about this method of training the soldiers? " The middle-aged general said.

"This training method is indeed strange!" I don't think this training method will have much of an effect! However, I am surprised when the rumors say that the Imperial Guards will train once a day! There is no army in this world that can do a day and a night's worth of training. Furthermore, the Home Breaker was so lazy back then, how could she do such a thing? " Zhao Zhe said.

"Hmm, I also think that this day's training is just a rumor. It's impossible for the Imperial Guards to do this!" middle-aged general said.

Just as the two were talking, a few soldiers suddenly ran over to them. They went over to Zhao Zhe and the other two and knelt down, one of the soldier gasped: "General, His Majesty has arrived at the foot of the mountain!"

Zhao Zhe was shocked, and said: "What? Your Majesty is at the foot of the mountain? "

The soldier said, "His Majesty has sent an order for the general to see him tomorrow morning!"

Zhao Zhe nodded, and said: "Alright! I got it! "

The morning of the second day, Zhao Zhe and middle-aged general led dozens of soldiers down the mountain.

After walking for four hours, at noon, they heard countless shouts coming from afar!

After walking for a while, a few soldiers from the Imperial Guard suddenly rushed out from the forest around them. These soldiers stopped them and carefully checked their identities before letting them leave!

Zhao Zhe and the rest walked forward. In the forest, they saw the Imperial Guards training!

All the soldiers were bare-chested. Each of them was carrying a huge wooden log as they ran towards the front. All the officers and soldiers were drenched in sweat as they constantly heard their shouts! On the other side, another group of soldiers was crawling forward in the mud. One of their arms was under the ground, while the other one was holding a weapon! They were all doing their best to move forward, but they had completely ignored Zhao Zhe and the others who were already walking over!

Zhao Zhe and the rest were all stunned!

Zhao Zhe himself was completely shocked, he clearly remembered that one month ago, the Imperial Guards were incomparably lazy, but in just a month, the Imperial Guards were actually working so hard, almost as if they were training with all of their strength! Moreover, this kind of training method seemed to be no small matter. The formation that seemed like the "spear array" actually made him feel an astonishing killing intent! With his innate skills, he might not even be able to please the spear array!

"How is this possible? In just one month, this Forbidden Army has undergone a tremendous change! " Zhao Zhe said in disbelief.

"Big brother, I think that the Imperial Guards are even stronger than our Jingyuan Army!" middle-aged general was also secretly shocked!

"Carefully memorize the training methods of the Imperial Guards!" When I return to Dazhang Pass, I will also learn the ways to train the Imperial Guards! " Zhao Zhe said.

middle-aged general and the soldiers behind him all nodded. They were carefully observing and memorizing everything, not mentioning anything at all!

After walking a few more steps, they finally saw Zhao Chen in an open space in front of them! At this moment, Zhao Chen was rolling in the mud like a group of ordinary soldiers. Zhao Chen's clothes had already turned black, and his head and face were covered with mud!

Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhe was stunned again!

finished his training and stood up from the muddy water. He only used his hands to wipe his face, and with large steps, he arrived in front of Zhao Zhe! Zhao Zhe!

"General Zhao Zhe greets Your Majesty!" Zhao Zhe and the people behind him had already knelt down.

"Both of you, rise!" Zhao Chen laughed.

Zhao Zhe looked towards the group of people. He realized that the middle-aged general behind Zhao Zhe was somewhat similar to Zhao Zhe, they were all tall and handsome, however, the middle-aged general did not have Zhao Zhe's terrifying eyes!

"Your Majesty, this person is my younger brother, Zhao Wu. He is also in the Jingyuan Army!" Zhao Zhe said.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why they looked so similar!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"As the emperor, I will naturally set an example! As of right now, the Imperial Guards are training extremely hard, I want to tell them that I am suffering alongside them! I can even endure hardships, so of course they wouldn't complain! " Zhao Chen said.

"Your majesty is righteous, this general admires you!" Zhao Zhe said.

Zhao Zhe was truly impressed from the bottom of his heart, let alone the Emperor Zhao Chen, even if he was allowed to do such a thing under the control of the Jingyuan Army, he would definitely not be willing! This was just too dirty, it was hard for him to imagine how the precious Zhao Chen could endure such filth! However, he could imagine how much of a boost Zhao Chen would give to their morale! No wonder the Imperial Guard had undergone a tremendous change in just a month. With Zhao Chen's actions in the military, it was impossible for the Imperial Guard to not change!

His face was full of admiration, and so were Zhao Wu and the others behind him! There was no need to mention the Jingyuan Army soldiers who followed them, at that moment, all of them felt extremely agitated. The Emperor's status was precious, he was actually able to train like ordinary soldiers, and it was such a dirty training! How could such an emperor not move the soldiers?

"I have already sent people to find Yue Fei, I have some important matters to discuss with you!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, may I know what is it?" Zhao Zhe said.

"It has to do with the current situation of the world! Wait till he comes! However, before that, you all can take a look at the infantry exercise code that we have been preparing for the past month! " Zhao Chen laughed.

"infantry exercise code?" Zhao Zhe was startled.

"The infantry exercise code is the infantry's training method! This was something that we wrote together with Yue Fei and the others after we came to the Imperial Guards! Take a look! " Zhao Chen said.

Immediately, Zhao Chen ordered people to retrieve the infantry exercise code, which had already been honorably written several times, and he handed one portion over to Zhao Zhe!

After Zhao Zhe received it, he started to carefully read it. There were training methods ranging from standing to running, to rushing, to training with spear array! The purpose and significance of these training methods were written inside! This included the importance of promoting and educating the military!

After Zhao Zhe finished reading, the admiration in his heart had reached the pinnacle! He had never seen or heard of most of these training programs, but they all had extraordinary effects according to what was written in the book! Thinking about it, it made sense! If they were to carefully train according to the infantry exercise code, I am afraid the strength of the army will experience an earth-shattering change!

"Is this really a letter from His Majesty?" Zhao Zhe said in disbelief.

"Of course it's written by This Emperor himself. If there's anything wrong, just tell me!" Take one when you go back! Let's discuss our research and come up with the best way to train our troops! We Chinese have invincible military strategies, but we lack good military training methods! "I hope that all of this can be changed from my hands!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the military is just serving as a soldier in war. Is the 'education' coming in handy?" Zhao Zhe asked with some suspicion.

"Of course it's useful! Soldiers understood why they were fighting. Once they understood who they were fighting for, they would naturally go all out in the training ground. Only then would they be able to fight without caring about their own safety! I can't explain this logic to you right now! If you are willing to carry out the 'propaganda and education' mentioned in the order, I will naturally get Li Gang and Wang Shu to send the relevant personnel into your army! If you are unwilling, I won't force you! When the true great war arrives in the future, you will realize that there is a huge difference between the Jingyuan Army and the Imperial Guard! " Zhao Chen said.

"This... I will think about it! " Zhao Zhe said.

Zhao Zhe's view was basically the same as Wang Shu's. He also believed that this "education and propaganda" was a measure Zhao Chen had taken to control the army and prevent it from causing trouble. He also found it hard to imagine the importance of spiritual energy in the army. He did not approve of this' publicity and education '! Zhao Chen did not force her, everything needed to be done step by step, he had to change the Imperial Guards first! Once the Imperial Guards were completely changed, he would slowly change other armies!

It was at this moment that the sound of footsteps came from afar. Yue Fei had already brought a few generals with him as he strode over!

"Very good! Now that everyone's here, let's talk about this together! " Zhao Chen said.

Immediately, Yue Fei, Zhao Zhe, Zhao Wu and the rest were all seated there. Zhao Chen said: "This matter is related to the Privy Council!"

Yue Fei asked in shock: "What does that have to do with the Privy Council?"

Zhao Chen said: "Today is a chaotic time, the war does not end! There was an emergency military situation at the border. This emergency military situation had to be sent to the military through the relay stations! When he reached the army headquarters, he would be sent to Privy Council after their research! The structure of the Privy Council was complicated, there were 12 rooms that had 100 divisions, and there were 12 rooms that had hundreds of officials that went through layers after layers of examinations, finally sending them to the Privy Envoys and the secret envoy! When we get the military information, we still have to discuss it with the Prime Minister, the Deputy Minister and the other ministers of the imperial court. After we finish discussing it, we have to issue a decree! This decree was first sent to the Privy Council, then forwarded several times by the Privy Council, and even passed through the army before it was delivered to the generals at the border! If that was the case, who knew how much time would be wasted! On the battlefield, a slight delay could lead to defeat! Furthermore, there were too many military and Privy Council officials. It was hard to avoid them leaking information. Therefore, we have decided to establish another place outside of Privy Council, which is specifically responsible for the emergency military affairs! "
