Chapter 137: No Competition, No Progress
Of the 12 leaders who stood out from the Ministry, the original first team accounted for eight, and the remaining thirty-six gang leaders, and the first team has as many as thirty. The further you go to the grassroots, the advantage of the first team The bigger it gets, Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha have to face up to this reality. This is the gap between them and Gao Yuan's troops. It is very good.
Gao Yuan's lottery decided the ownership of all the soldiers, which completely disrupted the organizational system, and the four soldiers who were originally under their command were all in the next lottery for soldiers, and all of them left their command. The six unfamiliar capitals, apart from wry smiles, all the flames in their hearts were extinguished. They understood that now Gao Yuan has completely controlled the thousand soldiers in Fufeng County. Violation, these bosses and gang leaders can easily lift themselves up.
Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't say anything. The methods used by Gao Yuan were aboveboard and he couldn't find any flaws. Having had a sense of urgency, Gao Yuan unabashedly showed his ambition in front of them, that is, this army will never stop here, maybe the next army expansion will come soon, and this selection method has already It is clearly defined as an important step for the promotion of the army. If they are also included in this competition system in the next military expansion, but lose, then they will really lose face. More importantly, they Will be gradually marginalized and reduced to dispensable characters.
If you want to maintain your status, the only possibility is to continuously improve your combat power and get enough military merits in the upcoming wars.
At this time, the two of them had completely extinguished the idea of competing with Gao Yuan, and set their target of competition on Sun Xiao and Yan Haibo. They understood that now they and Gao Yuan were not on the same level.
Naturally, Gao Yuan didn't know what the two of them were thinking. It was necessary to exchange his control over the entire army at the price of a temporary decline in the combat effectiveness of the entire army. The army is a double-edged sword. May hurt yourself. And Gao Yuan also believes that under the brand new military system he has drawn up, it is only a matter of time before the combat effectiveness of this army recovers and advances to a higher level.
And when a process is completed, it will be time to infiltrate and expand into the area controlled by the Donghu people.
In Juliguan, the military training in full swing immediately started vigorously. Not only Sun Xiao and Yan Haibo, but Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha also took action. The energy shown by the two was even stronger than that of Sun Xiao and Yan Haibo. It greatly stimulated Sun Xiao and Yan Haibo. If these two latecomers were to compare, how could I have the face to stand in front of Gao Yuan?
Now Sun Xiao and Yan Haibo don't have any advantages over Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha. The whole army has been disrupted and reorganized to bring the strength of the four teams back to the same level. It is not so easy to stand out things.
The competition between the four teams is exactly what Gao Yuan wants to see. The military competition once every ten days is the touchstone for reviewing them. , and even a confrontation was slowly added in, and Gao Yuan began to consciously train the command ability of the grassroots officers under his command. In this kind of combat, the more people there are, the lower the level of personal force will be. The command ability of officers and the ability to cooperate with soldiers become more important.
In gang-to-gang battles, the third and fourth teams of Sun Xiao and Yan Haibo were still able to gain the upper hand in the battle with Zheng Xiao and Yonaha.
But as soon as they were promoted to Du, the battles of the team seemed a bit difficult for the two of them, especially in the battles above the level of the team, both of them won less and lost more.
For this result, Gao Yuan was not surprised. Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha had been in the position of soldiers for many years. Compared with Sun Xiao and Yan Haibo, how to command hundreds of people in battle, the two were a level higher, especially Yan Haibo, in this kind of confrontation, he will lose every battle.
For the victor, Gao Yuan's reward is a pennant, the winner is eligible to hold him in the team until the next confrontation, if he loses, the pennant will be taken away by the winner.
Gao Yuan is well aware of the weakness of his team, that is, there are too few qualified commanders. When there were only a few hundred people, the combat level was limited to a low level, but as the number of people increased, this defect They were infinitely magnified, and if they were not exposed now, it would be too late if they were not discovered until the war came. And the result of being too late is losing the war, which is countless lives, blood and benefits.
Pustules, the sooner you poke through them, the better. The vast open land outside Juliguan provided the best place for Gaoyuan's large-scale military training.
"County Captain, Yan Haibo lost again!" Cao Tiancheng held his pen and turned his head to look outside. Under the leadership of Yan Haibo, the soldiers of the fourth team walked back from the outside in a dejected line. The team of more than 200 people was silent, and the silence was somewhat suffocating. "He's lost six games in a row."
Six games, that's two months. In these two months, Yan Haibo will lose every battle in this kind of large-scale confrontation.
"Not bad!" Gao Yuan sat opposite Cao Tiancheng, a small knife as thin as a cicada's wings fluttered between his fingers, and the nimble fingers flicked, and the knife turned into a living thing between his fingers. White light. "From being completely wiped out at the beginning to now being able to maintain more than half of his combat effectiveness, he has made great progress."
"It's not that I lost!" Cao Tiancheng smiled, after thinking about it, his face straightened, and he looked at Gao Yuan, "Bing Cao, do you think that if you keep losing like this, it will make him feel psychologically shadowed and make him no longer confident. It will not be a good thing in the future!"
Gao Yuan shook his head, "Yan Haibo is the kind of person who becomes more courageous as he loses. I have been watching him for the past two months. Every time he fails, this kid will sum up the gains and losses, and he is not alone, he always They will convene all the subordinates to summarize. This point, the other three teams have not done it. Sun Xiao and the others only focus the scope of discussion on the capital. Haven’t you noticed? Yan Haibo never made any mistakes in the subsequent battles, Tian Cheng, Yan Haibo's future achievements must be far above Sun Xiao, Zheng Xiaoyang, and Naha."
"I didn't expect the county lieutenant to be so optimistic about him?" Cao Tiancheng said in surprise.
Gao Yuan smiled, "Failure is not invincible, but as long as you win in the end, you are winning. Yan Haibo is so young. At this age, he is at the time when he is not convinced by anyone. Yan Haibo has made rapid progress. Just look at it. In another one or two years, Sun Xiao and the others will definitely not be his opponents."
While the two were talking, the door creaked and was pushed open, and Sun Xiao came in beaming, holding a pennant high in his hand, "County Captain, I won, this time I won."
This is the first time for Sun Xiao to win this pennant. Of course, he was overjoyed. He immediately ran back to announce the good news to Gao Yuan. You must know that Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha won the first five of the six competitions. Sun Xiao, who regarded himself as Gao Yuan's direct descendant, was naturally very annoyed, and this time he finally let out a bad breath.
"Okay, okay, let's add some dishes tonight, let's celebrate the third team finally winning a game!" Gao Yuan laughed and stood up. "It's really not easy, it's finally a victory."
Hearing the sarcasm in Gao Yuan's tone, Sun Xiao couldn't help but hesitate, and lowered the pennant he was holding high, "County Captain, just watch, since this flag is in my hand, Sun Xiao, I won't let him was taken away again."
"Really, then I'll wait and see." Gao Yuan looked at him with a smile.
While talking, Zheng Xiaoyang, Naha, including Yan Haibo who was the first to come back, all pushed the door and walked in. Sun Xiao held up the flag and shook it at the three of them, his pride was beyond words.
Zheng Xiaoyang snorted, "I only won once, so there's nothing to be proud of."
"That's right, I've already won three times!" Naha also snorted heavily.
Yan Haibo didn't speak, and stared at the flag with both eyes, but his eyes were extremely hot. Although he suffered repeated setbacks, it did not make the young man feel confused. On the contrary, in the battle after battle, what Yan Haibo saw was that his own losses were getting smaller and smaller, while the losses caused to the enemy were getting bigger and bigger. Yan Haibo Believe it, if you come back a few more times, maybe you will be able to win again. If the time is pushed back, he snorted heavily in his heart.
The reactions of several people fell into Gao Yuan's eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction. This kind of atmosphere was what he wanted. Without competition, there would be no progress.
There was a sound of horseshoes outside the window, and the cavalry team, led by the infantry, returned to the barracks after training. After a while of people shouting and neighing, the barracks fell into silence. Immediately, the sweaty infantry appeared in front of Gao Yuan.
"Infantry, you came just in time!" Gao Yuan waved and smiled. "How are your cavalry doing now?"
"Great progress!" The infantry said with a smile. "When Instructor He Lan returns, he will definitely be surprised."
After He Lanyan talked with Gao Yuan once, she returned to the Helan tribe to assist her brother in integrating the Helan tribe. It has been more than a month since He Lanyan left.
"Infantry cooperation and confrontation have been going on for two months, and the next step will be infantry confrontation!" Looking at the five soldiers under his command, Gao Yuan said.
"Fighting on horseback?" The five asked in unison.
"Yes, fight on foot and horse." Gao Yuan nodded affirmatively.
The infantry glanced maliciously at the other four soldiers, "Have they been beaten?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the angry eyes of the four people immediately greeted them.
