"General, I heard you were looking for me?"
On the side of the Black Armored Army drill ground, Third Camp Lieutenant Zhang Kangnian ran over to greet Qiu Xinggong.
"Mm!"
Qiu Xinggong nodded. Perhaps he realized that this wasn't the place to talk. After all, the soldiers of the Black Armored Army were still training. He turned around and led Zhang Kangnian towards the tents outside the drill ground. As he walked, he asked, "What's up with the A, D, and V Camps today? Why didn't they follow the usual practice? "
At this time, Zhang Kangnian wiped the sweat on his forehead and hurriedly replied, "Replying to the general, Adjunct Li made a new training manual last night. Zhang Shigui, Lu Da, and Sun Zhiping are now leading the soldiers to train according to the new training manual!"
"New training manuals?"
Qiu Xinggong was stunned when he heard this. Then, he suddenly had a bad premonition, so he quickly asked, "What new training manual? Li Zexuan just joined the army for a day. How could he come up with new training manuals? Tell me what the new training manuals are about. "
Zhang Kangnian pondered for a moment and said, "Early this morning, Adjunct Li asked all the commanders of the five camps to go to the side tent for a meeting. He showed us his new training manuals. The first rule of the new training manuals is long-distance running..."
As Zhang Kangnian explained, Qiu Xinggong's face turned darker and darker. After Zhang Kangnian finished, Qiu Xinggong finally couldn't hold it in anymore and exploded.
"Bastard! Nonsense! The Black Armored Army is cavalry. Why would they practice long-distance running? Why would they practice martial arts? And what are these push-ups and pull-ups? I've never heard of them before! What's even more ridiculous is that Li Zexuan is a brat who doesn't know anything about military affairs. He just joined the army and he's already causing trouble. Why would Zhang Shigui, Lu Da, and the rest follow suit? No, if this continues, the Black Armored Army will be ruined by Li Zexuan! Order Zhang Shigui, Lu Da, and Sun Zhiping to stop running and resume their usual training! "
Qiu Xinggong's anger was justified. Before Li Zexuan came to the camp, he had been in charge of the daily training of the Black Armored Troops. In the end, Li Zexuan had only been in the Black Armored Troops for a day and he had already overthrown the training system that he had painstakingly built. How could he not be angry? Furthermore, in his view, Li Zexuan's new training method was completely ridiculous. If they were to continue training like this, the Black Armored Army would become the laughingstock of Great Tang!
However, Zhang Kangnian did not immediately relay Qiu Xinggong's order. Instead, a troubled look flashed across his face. After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Kangnian said with a troubled expression, "General, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"
If one were to differentiate between civil and military, Zhang Kangnian would be more of a civil official than a military general. This fellow was extremely quick-witted. Compared to his ability in civil affairs, his military strength was simply trash. Thus, he had always been Qiu Xinggong's think tank.
Hearing this, Qiu Xinggong frowned and said unhappily, "What's inappropriate about it?"
Zhang Kangnian's brows furrowed as he explained, "Replying to the general, after Adjunct Li finished introducing his new training drill this morning, he claimed that he wouldn't force the battalion commanders to train their soldiers according to his drill, that it would all be voluntary. Zhang Shigui, Lu Da, Sun Zhiping, and the others … they all voluntarily accepted the new training drill. General, if you order them to stop training now, I don't think they would listen!"
"Outrageous! Do you think they would dare to disobey my orders? "
Hearing this, Qiu Xinggong was instantly enraged.
Zhang Kangnian immediately kept quiet out of fear, not daring to utter a single word.
"Sigh! Forget it, I'll go look for General Duan! Li Zexuan, this brat, this old man has really underestimated him. This old man has truly underestimated him! I can't let him continue messing around like this! "
After a moment, Qiu Xinggong probably felt that Zhang Shigui and the rest might really dare to disobey his orders, so he sighed and changed his words.
After all, Duan Zhixuan had said yesterday that he would hand over the daily training of the Black Armored Troops to Li Zexuan. Even if Zhang Shigui and the rest did not listen to his orders, it was understandable!
"General is wise!"
Zhang Kangnian clasped his fist and flattered him.
"Mm! You and Sun Tao did well! On this matter, you can't mess around with Li Zexuan! You go and lead the training! I'll go look for General Duan! "
Qiu Xinggong looked at Zhang Kangnian and waved his hand.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Kangnian accepted the order and left. Qiu Xinggong stood there for a while before walking towards the commander's tent.
Half a month ago, the Black Armored Troops had entered a state of closed training. Under normal circumstances, they were only allowed to enter and not leave the camp. This included Duan Zhixuan and Qiu Xinggong. These days, they had been living and eating in the camp. Of course, if there was an important court meeting, they could still leave the camp to attend it. The day before yesterday, Li Zexuan had come to Chang 'an to visit Duan Zhixuan. Coincidentally, Duan Zhixuan had just finished attending the morning court meeting. Otherwise, he could only come to the camp to look for Duan Zhixuan!
At this moment, Duan Zhixuan was staring blankly at a map in the command tent. Qiu Xinggong did not wait for the guard to come in and announce his arrival and strode in.
"Lawless! Simply lawless! General Duan, go and see what Li Zexuan has done! If he continues messing around like this, the Black Armored Troops will be completely crippled! "
Qiu Xinggong shouted at Duan Zhixuan, who was sitting at the head of the table, in a flustered and exasperated manner.
His loud shout immediately snapped Duan Zhixuan out of his thoughts. He could not help but frown and ask, "Xinggong, what did Li Zexuan do to make you so angry?"
Qiu Xinggong said angrily, "Hmph! This Qiu just heard that Li Zexuan summoned all the commanders of the five battalions to the side tent early this morning to discuss his new training manual. Zhixuan, tell me, this kid has only been in the barracks for a day. What kind of training manual can he write? Isn't this nonsense? "
"Oh? New training manual? "
In contrast to Qiu Xinggong's angry face, Duan Zhixuan's eyes lit up when he heard that Li Zexuan had written a new training manual. He asked with interest, "Xinggong, tell me, what is the content of the training manual that Li Zexuan wrote?"
To be honest, Duan Zhixuan was not angry at all. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised. That's right, pleasantly surprised. According to his original expectations, after Li Zexuan entered the Black Armored Troops, it would take at least three to five days before he could come up with any useful suggestions. He never expected that Li Zexuan would write a training manual within a day of entering the camp. This was too fast!
Cough cough! Of course, Duan Zhixuan still had some doubts about the quality of the training manual.
"Hmph! That kid's training manual is all nonsense. General Duan, listen to it first. The first rule states that the soldiers of each camp must start running ten miles in their armor at four in the morning … "
