Cheng Zheng soon discovered that he was not tempering Yuan Xin at all, but torturing himself.
Because Yuan Xin really didn’t understand the art of war at all, he had to explain almost every sentence.
Cheng Zheng worked non-stop, and he didn’t even have time to drink tea.
When he encountered something with allusions or deep meanings, he had to explain a lot more, which took Cheng Zheng all morning.
His mouth was dry, his scalp was numb, and he regretted why he decided to teach him personally.
He was just asking for trouble.
At noon, Yuan Xin had only read the third page of the book.
He couldn't help but feel discouraged and asked, "Am I particularly stupid?"
You know what Cheng Zheng was saying in his heart, but he didn't show it on his lips.
He forced a smile to comfort him, "No, you just don't have the foundation.
Take your time."
However, what really made Cheng Zheng angry was later.
When he came back from lunch, Cheng Zheng continued to talk to him.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xin actually fell asleep while listening to it.
Cheng Zheng raised his hand to hit him but stopped, "No, I said I won't hit you."
Cheng Zheng shouted to Yuanxin, "Cheng Yuanxin" Yuan Xin jumped up from his chair with excitement.
When he saw Cheng Zheng's eyes full of anger, he suddenly woke up and said, "I was wrong."
Cheng Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "I know you have a habit of going to bed after eating.
Is the study environment I gave you too comfortable?"
Yuan Xin lowered his head and said nothing.
Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Kneel down.
If you can still fall asleep, I will let you kneel on the nail board.
Do you believe it?"
Yuan Xin shrank and knelt on the ground, shaking his head repeatedly, "I don't dare, I don't dare anymore."
Cheng Zheng glanced at him and said, "Based on your condition, I think I have to keep an eye on you and eat less in the future."
Yuan Xin retorted in a low voice, "It's wrong of you to do this.
Being hungry and full is not good for your health."
Cheng Zheng asked, "So, do you think it would be better to receive a hundred military sticks?"
Yuan Xin immediately weakened when he heard the military stick, "No, no, no, I will do whatever you say, I will listen to you."
Cheng Zheng returned to the table and sat down, looking like he was waiting for something good to happen, "If your knee hurts, just say, don't hold on, I'm still waiting for you to beg me."
Yuan Xin curled his lips and lowered his head.
What kind of hatred do we have?
Cheng Zheng asked, "Where did you talk about just now?"
"I don't know, I just fell asleep" When the military camp was resting at night, Cheng Zheng asked Yuan Xin to review everything he had learned during the day.
Fortunately, Yuan Xin had a good memory and was very attentive even after being punished by Cheng Zheng, which made Cheng Zheng feel very happy.
Yuanxin was carrying a book when Jinfeng came in.
Yuanxin looked at him with pitiful eyes, "Jinfeng, I'm hungry."
Jinfeng shrugged helplessly and said that there was nothing he could do.
Yuan Xin lowered his head in disappointment and said, "I've finished memorizing it."
Cheng Zheng nodded, "Okay, you can go back."
Yuan Xin flipped through the books in his hands and counted them, and said reluctantly, "But I only learned a dozen pages today.
If this continues, I will definitely not be able to escape with a hundred military sticks."
Cheng Zheng looked him directly in the eyes and asked him, "Do you believe me?"
Yuan Xin nodded, and Cheng Zheng smiled with satisfaction, "That's good, let's go back.
Just work hard during the day, staying up late will hurt your health."

"But being hungry is not good for your health."
Cheng Zheng stopped pestering him and sent him away, "Go back.
Jinfeng and I still have things to deal with.
Get up early tomorrow and practice your martial arts first.
Come see me after breakfast."
"Yes.
Take care, two masters.
The apprentice has resigned."
Two months had passed in January, and Yuanxin finally believed that Cheng Zheng had painstakingly prepared and planned carefully for him, and finally understood why the progress was slow at first.
Cheng Zheng was not in a hurry at all, because he found that his reading speed was getting faster and faster.
Sooner and later, there were fewer and fewer questions that needed to be asked by Tu Zheng.
From the initial explanation step by step, now there would only be a question for several pages.
Yuan Xin's progress was astonishing, and Cheng Zheng finally found relief from Yuan Xin.
And the military camp seemed to be getting busier.
Cheng Zheng received more and more reports.
Sometimes he would go out for a whole day without seeing anyone.
On this day, Cheng Zheng got his cloak and sword and was about to go out again.
He said to Yuan Xin, "I will be away for two days.
Do you need to find a military advisor to teach you?"
Yuan Xin refused, "No need.
When I encounter something that I don't understand, I can go find someone for advice."
"Okay, study hard and I'll come back to check on you."
Cheng Zheng arranged and went out.
"Where are you going?"
Yuan Xin couldn't help but stop him.
Cheng Zheng turned around, and Yuan Xin suddenly knelt on the ground seriously, "I have overstepped my humble duty.
Please forgive me, Lord Marquis."
Cheng Zheng chuckled lightly and helped him up, "There are no outsiders here.
You are my brother.
There is nothing you shouldn't ask.
Start caring about me."
Yuan Xin lowered his head and did not deny it.
Cheng Zheng continued, "I'm going to the western border and will be back in two days."
Yuan Xin asked nervously, "Is there going to be a war?
Last year, we also fought in winter and spring."
Cheng Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's possible.
I'll go check it out and don't tell anyone else."
"I know."
Yuan Xin was a little reluctant to give up.
Cheng Zheng patted Yuanxin on the shoulder and left.
No one was staring at him.
Yuanxin not only did not feel relaxed, but also felt disappointed.
Yuanxin began to realize that I was used to being controlled by you.
It turned out that I was not I don’t really reject you.
It turns out that I would be so uneasy without you.

When Cheng Zheng returned to the camp again, he was surrounded by several generals who were discussing the war.
When Yuanxin saw the battle, he hurriedly resigned, "I will resign first because of my humble duty."
"Yuanxin, there's no need to avoid it."
Cheng Zheng stopped him and introduced to the generals who came in later, "This is one of my alternate lieutenants.
Cheng Yuanxin, the co-leader of the Thirty-sixth Battalion, previously worked with General Yang and General Zhao.
I have competed in martial arts and now I am learning the art of war.”
Yuan Xin stepped forward and saluted, "I have met several generals in my humble position."
General Zhao looked honest and honest, and patted Yuan Xin hard on the shoulder, "This boy, I could see it when the Marquis ordered me to compete with him.
He is very talented and talented."
General Yang stopped him and said, "Hey, hey, I discovered him first.
He didn't know anything when he first joined the army.
I saw that he had some dexterity and insight and promoted him to the position of assistant leader.
But he also His qualifications are indeed extraordinary, and he was able to catch my moves after practicing martial arts with General Jinfeng for less than a year, which really impressed me."
Yuan Xin declined modestly, "General Yang is too complimentary.
I dare not compare my skills with those of General Yang in a humble position."
General Yang sighed, "The younger generation is to be feared."
A military advisor came up and asked Yuan Xin, "Since Cheng Xieling is studying the art of war, I wonder if he has ever heard of the strategy of waiting for work in leisure?"
Yuan Xin replied, "Yes, it is slightly involved."
Military asked, "What does Cheng Xieling think of this?"
Yuan Xin's analysis was clear and logical, and he responded fluently to the military advisor's questions.
Everyone nodded in approval.
As the military advisor's questions gradually deepened, Yuan Xin admitted that he had not dabbled in it yet, and he was generous and neither humble nor overbearing.
The military advisor was even more impressed when he learned that he had only been studying the art of war for less than a month.
Seeing that the military advisor had come to an end, Cheng Zheng asked, "Are the generals satisfied with the deputy generals I selected?"
Everyone nodded in unison, and the military advisor praised him, "He is a tiger and a wolf.
If the Marquis trains him strictly in the future, he will become a great weapon."
When Cheng Zheng saw that Yuan Xin had been recognized by everyone, he was very happy and began to discuss the war with everyone.
Yuan Xin almost fell asleep after hearing this, but he was afraid that Cheng Zheng would ask him at any time, so he struggled painfully and rolled up his heavy eyelids until it was dark and heard Cheng Zheng said that everyone should go back to rest.
Yuan Xin suddenly became energetic.
Big sigh of relief.
After everyone retreated, Cheng Zheng asked Yuan Xin, "Are you sleepy?
I found that you have been able to sleep very well recently."
Yuan Xin muttered, "I get sleepy when I read a book.
I was like this when I was a child, you know.
I can't understand what you are talking about.
It's like listening to a book from heaven.
Can you not be sleepy?"
"You don't understand the military situation in Xichi.
It's normal that you don't understand.
Don't be discouraged.
Have you finished the book I gave you?"
"No, but the one-month deadline has not come yet."
Yuan Xin retorted with reason.
Cheng Zheng waved his hand and said, "That's it.
The military advisor is satisfied with you, so I won't pick anything against you."

Yuanxin smiled and said flatteringly, "That's what you taught me well."
"The books I gave you are all introductory books.
They have no weight at all.
They are just a bit in-depth when I taught you, and you could barely survive the military advisor's questioning.
Your foundation is too weak, and you will have to learn more in the future.
Study hard.
I will select some more books for you, study them carefully, and I will call you for questioning at any time."
Yuan Xin was dejected after hearing this, "There's more."
Cheng Zheng asked, "Do you think marching and fighting is that easy?"
Yuan Xin complained, "The art of war is a bit too difficult to understand.
It's better to practice martial arts."
Cheng Zheng advised earnestly, "To be brave but not to be wise is to be reckless.
Remember, no matter how skilled a person is in martial arts, he cannot become a general if he does not understand the art of war."
Yuan Xin was like an obedient child, "Oh, I remember.
You said I was your lieutenant, did you want to take me to fight?"
"Of course, I have worked hard to cultivate you, is it just to listen to a few compliments from others to improve my appearance?"
Yuan Xin looked embarrassed, "But, I don't know anything."
Cheng Zheng was very confident, "I will teach you well.
We are separated from Xichi by a mountain.
There is a river on our side blocked by the mountain, so this side of the mountain is rich in water and grass and densely covered with jungles, and the other side of the mountain is a large grassland.
Xichi Nearly half of the population relies on nomadic herding for a living.
If there is a drought, shallow lakes cannot solve the problem at all, or winter The weather is bad during the winter, and cattle and sheep will suffer from hunger and cold, causing a large number of casualties.
The herdsmen will be short of food rations, so the border will be turbulent throughout the winter and the following spring.
In the past two days, Jinfeng and I went to the border to check.
The situation there is indeed not very good, and there are also some.
With the trend of gathering troops, we must also start deploying troops and prepare for battle. " "Oh."
Yuan Xin responded calmly.
He had been sharpening his sword for a year.
Facing the war, he did not show any positivity or enthusiasm.
Instead, he felt a little sad.
Seeing his disappointment, Cheng Zheng asked, "What's wrong?
You have practiced martial arts.
Don't you want to try it on the battlefield?"
Yuan Xin said cautiously, "If I say I don't want to, will you be angry?"
Cheng Zheng walked towards him and asked seriously, "Why?"
Yuan Xin didn't dare to look directly into his eyes and took two steps back.
"I don't practice martial arts to kill people.
I don't want to kill people, let alone those who are in trouble."
Cheng Zheng continued to ask, "Then why do you practice martial arts?"
Yuan Xin weakly expressed his thoughts, "I want to become strong and protect the people I want to protect."
Cheng Zheng reprimanded sternly, "Cheng Yuanxin, let me tell you, you practice martial arts to defend your home and country, build a career, and protect the country.
As a member of the Yun tribe, you should be high-spirited when facing foreign enemies and kill the killer without mercy.
Instead of being compassionate in this place, Show your stupidity.
You are merciful to the enemy today.
Tomorrow the enemy will attack the border, burn, kill and plunder.

Thousands of our people are struggling and begging for mercy under the enemy's cavalry.
Is this the result you want?"
Yuan Xin confessed, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
"This is the first time I've heard you say such a thing.
If you let me hear it next time, I will severely punish you for disturbing the morale of the army."
"Yes." sjgsf0916:
