In the afternoon of early winter, the biting cold wind seemed to be getting stronger, howling outside Chang'an City.
On the vast wilderness of the Royal Racecourse, the cold wind blew up the withered grass on the ground, turning it completely gray-white.
The blades of grass are blowing in the wind.
The war horses have been tied to the stables, and the vast wilderness is empty with only the blue sky.
There are no lead-black clouds, which is a rare good weather, but the footsteps of cold winter mean that the sun hanging high in the sky cannot bring warmth.
The cold wind blowing on the body makes people shiver.
The sun shines down and shines on the earth.
The slightly whitish sunshine makes people feel less cold.
Standing upright here on a flat and endless grassland, a figure like an iron tower stands, dressed in black.
The armor on his body made his majestic body even more burly.
A dark but rough-looking face was covered with sweat in the cold wind.
This person is Hong Li, who was forced to stand by Li Kuan.
Not long ago, he stood up and admitted that he had refuted it, but was then punished by Li Kuan to stand for six hours.
At first, everyone felt that this The punishment was very simple, and everyone even thought that Li Kuan decided to let Hong Li go because of Hong Li's previous fighting prowess.
But who knew that all this was actually far from being as simple as it seemed.
Only Hong Li, who was sweating in the cold wind, felt the deepest feeling.
It turns out that standing for six hours is so difficult, even more difficult than going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Because if everything had to be done according to the requirements of Chu King Li Kuan, it would be simply inhuman torture.
In the eyes of everyone's suspicion, Li Kuan began to carry out the so-called queue rectification.
All the soldiers who were standing crookedly were disrupted, and everyone was no longer surrounded by the people they were familiar with.
Zuo Qianniu guards about 30,000 people.
No one can know everyone, so it is according to human nature.
At the beginning, they all stood together with the people they knew.
Now, no one knows the people around them anymore.
Of course, sorting out the team did not require Li Kuan to do it himself.
Liu Wei, the newly promoted Xuanjia Guard Zhenwu Captain Liu Wei who he asked from Li Er, took over the job.
In addition, there was another A tall man with thick cheeks who was not inferior to Hong Li in stature.
Some veterans among these soldiers knew this guy.
He was Xue Wanche, one of the generals under the command of the former Xi King Li Jiancheng.
It's just that this person has disappeared long ago.
Why are they now under the command of His Highness the King of Chu, Li Kuan?
These two are experts in training soldiers, so Li Kuan can let go of ordinary formation training.
After organizing the team, all the more than 3,000 soldiers were arranged into small square formations.
Then Li Kuan, who was standing on the troops counting platform, spoke, and everyone began the first lesson of standing in military posture.
In the era of hot weapons, all soldiers had to undergo such training, but the scale was variable.
Some countries in Europe and the United States were more relaxed.
When American soldiers stood in line, they were all loose.
Don't look at the whites and blacks who are all awesome.
Martha's.
But the queue that stood out was simply appalling.
This aspect of the Chinese dynasty in later generations can be said to be arrogant in the world.
Now these soldiers are standing in line according to the standards of the Chinese army, and Li Kuan has already guided them.
Of course, in addition to Liu Wei and Xue Wanche, those guys who had followed him on the grassland were also called.
After all, they have been trained, so they should be little instructors and satisfy the desire of these big soldiers to become generals.
"The first thing I have to do today is to stand up, Hong Li, stand alone on one side.

Now let's talk about how to stand.
Your head should be upright.
Your neck should be straight, and your heels should be together.
The soles of your feet should be slightly apart to both sides. , stand in a herringbone shape.
Droop your arms naturally, lift your chest, restrain your buttocks, and tighten your legs."
Li Kuan said a lot of key points, and then he stood aside and checked from time to time.
He stretched out his hands to pull this and that, and from time to time he kicked them at the knees.
If they hadn't clamped their legs and tightened their thighs, the knee joints would have been unstable under this leg.
Such people will be called out of the queue and enjoy high-level treatment in a fenced-off area alone.
As for what it is, you can imagine the miserable howls coming from there from time to time.
As for Hong Li, he was the focus of Li Kuan's sole care, so among the three thousand soldiers receiving training, this guy's military appearance was the most standard.
From the time the sun rose in the morning, time passed little by little.
I didn’t have breakfast or rest time.
I just stood like this.
The faint sunlight from the morning sun broke through the sky and shone on the faces of these people, making them feel extremely overwhelmed.
It was dazzling because they all faced the east, directly facing the sun, and the open grassland did not weaken the sunlight in any way.
Everyone squinted their eyes in the sun, feeling their eyes sore, but no one dared to rub them, because a guy was called out for rubbing his eyes before, and now he was howling miserably.
So they could only endure it.
Everyone was muttering in their hearts that this was a prank on them.
Time passed slowly, and gradually everyone felt that something was getting worse and worse.
Their whole bodies began to feel hot, and even their shoulders and thighs began to ache.
Only then did they realize that standing was also a strenuous task, even more difficult than standing up.
The fatigue from the beginning of training is unbearable, because during training, although you are very tired, you can still do some movements to relax, but now that you are fixed like this, it feels like you can't do anything.
Crazy.
Many people felt uncomfortable, either itching here that they couldn't scratch, or feeling uncomfortable there.
But more people were crying in the wind under the sun.
Everyone was sure in their hearts that this was not a good job.
His Highness the King of Chu was here.
They were punished, but they dared to be angry and dare not speak out.
Li Kuan, the nominal supreme leader, did not get the love of his soldiers when they first gathered together, and all he gained was full of resentment.
But Li Kuan didn't care about this, because there were many such things in the military movies and TV dramas that he had almost forgotten, and he had experienced it personally once last year, although the number of people that time was only one-tenth of this time, But now, which one of these people is still resentful of those weird trainings that looked like bullying?
Everyone can feel that their combat effectiveness has improved a lot after such training.
The cooperation with Pao Ze around him is becoming more and more tacit.
The sun was rising higher and higher, and everyone felt extremely exhausted.
The body that had always been tense began to shake slightly because he had not eaten breakfast.
This made the stomachs of the soldiers who were accustomed to three meals a day growl.
But the cold-faced His Highness the King of Chu did not say anything, and no one dared to relax, and had to grit their teeth and persevere.
Gradually, some people began to lose their physical strength, and they realized that this thing was actually so energy-consuming, especially the armor on the body.
It gradually started to increase in weight from the first twenty to thirty kilograms, and became heavier after half an hour.
Doubled, now almost two hours later, the armor on their bodies probably weighs three hundred kilograms in their opinion.
These soldiers began to miss their old leather armor.
When I first came here, these dark black armors were issued.
Everyone was inexplicably excited, because wearing such a majestic armor also brings a lot of face.
Good face is not only the person who will be used in future generations.
This is only possible in a society full of material desires, because there is a saying that says a person lives with his face, and a tree lives with his skin.

The ancients were also good at saving face.
Not everyone in the Tang army can wear iron armor.
Only the super killers in the frontier army will go to the battlefield to fight at any time.
There are also the Imperial Guards who guard the imperial city and Li Er's personal guard Xuanjia Army.
It is the armor of all members.
They are said to be the troops protecting the capital, but in fact, they are not much different from the local soldiers.
It's just that they don't need to farm in their free time, they have to work as soldiers to feed themselves.
That's a bit far.
Because of the armor on their bodies, these soldiers' physical energy consumption was very intense.
Moreover, they woke up too early in the morning and didn't even take a bite of breakfast, which made them feel even more tired.
Until the end of the hour, they spent nearly three hours quietly.
Finally, someone couldn't hold on any longer.
A fallen man appeared.
When the armor that he had previously regarded as glory fell with his heavy body, the armor leaves fell to the dust and made a banging sound, triggering an explosion in the square formation where he was.
There was a commotion.
"Okay, everyone else, don't move.
If you dare to move, one hour will be added."
With a faint shout, the Xuanjia Guard soldier as an instructor shouted in front of the queue, and then waved to the two who had been waiting idlely.
The guy who was sitting stepped forward and dragged the fallen person away.
"Those who have fallen will be eliminated."
Li Kuan said softly on the high platform when he saw the soldiers being carried away, and then went to take care of the big black man again.
"Don't move, there are still those who fall down if you move, just pack up and go home."
Li Kuan used enough energy in his Dantian to stop shouting, making all the soldiers who were still holding on or who were preparing to pretend to be exhausted and fall down look tense. , although I didn’t know what was going on, but no one wanted to be eliminated on the first day, so everyone hurriedly stood up.
After standing in a military posture for three hours, everyone's final physical strength was almost exhausted.
The originally dark and large team now seemed much sparse, because many people could not help but move, and there were many People couldn't hold on and fell.
These people were dragged out and punished on the first day or sent directly to Zuo Qianniuwei.
These people will be pointed out by the people around them in the following years.
That's it, unless they take off their armor and return to the fields, and let their horses go to Nanshan.
Otherwise, it would be a great shame in front of those robes.
Li Kuan looked at the people on the field who were still holding on.
There were about half of them left, which meant that nearly 1,500 people had been eliminated in these six hours, and an average of 250 people were dragged out every hour. .
This is just the average data.
In fact, most people were carried away in the last half hour due to exhaustion of physical strength.
This was very busy with the Xuanjia Guard soldiers who were assigned to serve as logistics.
The 300 people who followed him into the grassland last year, almost 200 came back.
This time he brought them all, except for a few who were transferred to other places.
He's in the army, just like the guy who opened the gambling game before.
They're all here now: dozens of instructors, and the rest are medics.
For the next half hour, these people didn't have to carry anything anymore.
They dragged the two fallen soldiers one by one with one hand, running back and forth like they were dragging two sacks.
Fortunately, these soldiers only need to take a good rest and drink some warm water.
If they need to give medicine, they will probably be even busier
