My players are all acting

After entering the second stage of the trial, the first thing Zhao Haiping noticed was that a brand new UI appeared in his vision.

At the top right of the field of vision, there is an icon similar to a character card. There are light effects around this card, which seems to be able to achieve some kind of charging effect.

After a brief research, Zhao Haiping quickly understood the usage of this new function.

This is what was said in the new version announcement before, he can perform heroic summoning.

But obviously, the summoning of heroic spirits is not completely unlimited.

When this function occurs in his mind, the card will manifest. At the same time, Zhao Haiping can choose the heroic character he wants to summon in his mind.

These tasks must have been encountered in the trial illusion before, and different characters need to consume different energy when summoning.

For some powerful characters, the basic energy consumed when summoning is relatively high.

As for those marginalized characters, it is naturally more frugal to summon them.

In addition, the full trusteeship method that Zhao Haiping thought of before is not completely impossible, but it needs to consume a lot of energy.

And if it is only to consult the person and ask the other party to provide advice, then the energy consumed will be relatively small.

As for the acquisition of energy, it depends on the player's progress in the current copy.

Since Zhao Haiping has cleared the first stage, he now has enough energy to summon a heroic spirit directly, and there is still some remaining energy that can be inquired or entrusted.

But what Zhao Haiping is most concerned about at this time is that since the acquisition of energy depends on the player's progress in advancing the trial illusion, then, if the player relies on the function of heroic spirit summoning, he can make the most correct choice at the most critical node every time , greatly advanced the progress and gained more energy...

Is it possible to create a perpetual motion machine effect?

Well, it's still possible.

Of course, the producer of this game will definitely limit the value in this area, so as not to allow players to achieve this cycle too easily.

In short, how to use the function of summoning heroic spirits, players still have to explore slowly in the dungeon.

Zhao Haiping didn't choose which Heroic Spirit to summon immediately, but decided to look at the dungeon challenge target at this time.

If the summoning energy of these heroic figures is the same, then he should be able to summon Sheng Taizu directly. After all, as one of the top emperors in Chinese history, Sheng Taizu has his own strengths in domestic affairs, diplomacy, military and other aspects. A set of things can be said to be the choice of panacea.

But Zhao Sheng Taizu is too expensive, Zhao Haiping's current energy is a bit difficult to maintain.

So you still have to look at what the goal of the dungeon is at this time, and then prescribe the right medicine.

The fog in front of him gradually dissipated, and Zhao Haiping found himself in a huge military stronghold.

The overall environment is somewhat similar to the barracks in the previous Ping Ding Army, but the conditions are slightly better.

In the army camps, one can see the soldiers of the Qi Dynasty busy with their own affairs.

In addition to participating in training every day, when they return to the barracks at night, they have to do smear work, or mend armor, or repair ordnance, and they often have to be busy until late at night before they can sleep.

Outside the barracks there are many wide school yards, which are divided into different areas, some are used to train infantry, and some are used to train cavalry.

These infantrymen are armed with uniform standard ordnance, such as long spears, large axes, etc., and practice this fixed move in the open space of the school field.

There are also instructors who are responsible for teaching them, constantly explaining the technical essentials of these movements and correcting the soldiers who made mistakes.

At this time, the infantry practiced some relatively simple postures, such as daily holding a long spear, stabbing in the upward, middle and downward directions, dialing the opponent's weapon, and other fixed actions.

Although these movements don't look complicated, the soldiers still practiced them in all kinds of ways and made a mess.

From this, it may be seen that the quality of soldiers here is relatively average.

And Zhao Haiping looked down at his clothes, and found that he was wearing armor and a cloak behind his back. He was obviously a high-ranking general.

"So, now my goal is... to train soldiers?"

Zhao Haiping reckoned that the scale of this barracks was not small, and there might be 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in it.

If these soldiers are trained well, they will definitely be able to play a huge role in some key battles in the future.

What's more, General Han Fuyue's military training ability is indeed seen in the annals of history, "Don't demolish houses to death from freezing, and don't plunder to death from starvation." To be able to train this kind of military discipline in the era of cold weapons can be regarded as ceiling level.

According to the consistent urgency of the game "Dark Sand", the development content in the first part of the dungeon is often closely related to the actual combat in the later part. If you are lazy in the front, you will definitely suffer later.

So Zhao Haiping didn't dare to neglect at all, and immediately replaced himself as a general, racing against time to train these soldiers well.

It's just that the matter of military training has indeed touched the blind spots of players' knowledge.

They have never encountered similar game content in the previous copy.

Of course, Zhao Haiping has seen a lot of things in the military camp, but observing the military camp from the perspective of a small soldier is tantamount to a blind man feeling the elephant, and it may be difficult to understand.

If Zhao Haiping is allowed to start from scratch and really develop a strong army, he may not know that it will be the year of the monkey.

Thinking of this, Zhao Haiping chose not to turn on the iron, and directly turned on the function of summoning the heroic spirit.

With a thought in his mind, a portrait of General Deng Yuanjing appeared on the card.

Then, the energy around the card began to be quickly withdrawn, and somehow, as if crossing the long river of history, the heroic spirit of General Deng Yuanjing was summoned here!

After a while, Zhao Haiping found that General Deng Yuanjing had come in front of him.

General Deng at this time was in his peak state after the Nanping bandits and the northern barbarians.

There is no need to explain the current situation, because the summoned heroic spirits are not these historical heroes themselves, but more like a collection of the knowledge of these characters, and they can naturally play the role of tool people.

However, although they are tool people, they are all heroes in Chinese history after all, and they still have to be respected.

Zhao Haiping asked respectfully: "General Deng, I want to train soldiers, what should I pay attention to?"

This question is very broad, even after asking, Zhao Haiping regretted it a bit.

But I have to say that the function of summoning heroic spirits is very powerful, and it seems to be in line with the famous saying: there are no bad questions, only bad answers.

In front of such a real master of the art of war, Zhao Haiping's very general question also received a very concise answer.

"Must practice will be the most important thing, and military training will be the second.

"Practicing generals is like treating the root cause. If the root is chaotic and the end is the end, there will be nothing."

These words are actually not difficult to understand.

To train soldiers, you must first train generals. The general here does not only refer to generals, but also includes generals at all levels in the army.

After all, whether it is the era of cold weapons or the era of hot weapons, the entire army is a huge whole. Whether it is daily training or subsequent marching and fighting, it is necessary to ensure the transmission of military orders, the maintenance of morale, etc., the generals at all levels are equal to An extension of the general himself.

If there is a problem with these people, then no matter how long the practice is, it will be a waste of work.

Zhao Haiping couldn't help but his eyes brightened, and felt that the heroic spirit summoning function was quite worthwhile.

In fact, what General Deng said was a bit vague, and it sounded like some kind of big truth that anyone could think of.

But the key to doing many things well is often hidden in these big truths.

Many people may understand a certain truth, but how important is this truth? What is the priority with other principles? What should be the choice if two principles conflict?

This is the difference between genius and mediocrity.

Zhao Haiping asked again: "Then General Deng, if you want to practice generals, where should you start?"

General Deng still replied naturally: "The method of forming an army is the foundation of building an army.

"To build an army, the soldiers are first selected, the generals are selected by the soldiers, and the soldiers are selected by the generals, and then the army is drawn up."

The so-called method of closing the army is actually discussing how to build an army.

Although most of what General Deng said carried the characteristics of his time and was relatively refined and obscure, due to the characteristics of the game "Dark Sand", Zhao Haiping could still clearly comprehend the meaning.

General Deng did not just talk in general terms, but also expressed the steps and details in detail.

Zhao Haiping listened carefully while memorizing the technical essentials.

According to General Deng, to build a strong army, we must start with the selection of soldiers at the lowest level.

You can't choose the slippery and treacherous ones in the big cities, and you can't choose those who are born with martial arts and have the habits of green forests.

As for those with rich combat experience, they should be selected carefully, because these people will know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Those who have made meritorious service can be considered as appropriate, and others can only be listed as second-class.

As for the first-class soldiers, they must be honest people in the countryside. It is best to have dark skin, tall physique, hard life, strong muscles, and a country look formed by years of hard work.

For soldiers, individual martial arts are not important, the most important thing is whether they are physically strong, obedient and obedient, and whether they can obey orders.

After selecting enough grassroots soldiers, generals at all levels can be further screened from these people.

Of course, as a general, you don't need to screen out all the generals at every level, you only need to screen out the level that you directly order.

For example, I only let the generals be placed by the players, and then let these generals go to the sentinels of the players, and then let these sentries go to the flags played by the players...

After this layer of selection, the overall framework of the entire army was set up.

The advantage of this kind of selection is that the superiors and subordinates understand each other, and it is easier to form cohesion and a sense of collective honor.

After setting up the whole big frame, you can carry out daily training.

For example, practice the tactics of various weapons, practice various formations, carry out ideological education and so on.

These are more details, and it is not something Zhao Haiping needs to care about for the time being.

After listening to the lecture, Zhao Haiping felt that he had benefited a lot.

As expected of General Deng!

You know, although Deng Yuanjing and Han Fuyue are both famous generals through the ages, and their military training is at the top ceiling level, in terms of military theory, General Deng is still slightly better.

It can be said that General Deng's art of war is the pinnacle of the cold weapon era. After reading his works, it is basically equivalent to directly learning how to build an army from scratch.

At this time, using General Deng Yuanjing's theory as a guide has actually far exceeded the military level of the Qi Dynasty at that time.

At this time, Zhao Haiping naturally determined the first thing he had to do: choose soldiers!

Although there were about 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in the barracks at this time, anyone who understands the phenomenon of redundant soldiers in the Qi Dynasty can understand it.

Among these soldiers, some were weak and weak, some were born in the green forest with bad morals, some were devoted to business, and some even wanted to escape all day long.

If this group of people were mixed together, they could basically only hold each other back. Not only would it not improve the combat effectiveness of the army, but it would directly reduce the combat effectiveness of the army to zero.

When Jin soldiers met 50,000 pigs, they might not be able to catch them all in one day and one night, but when they met 50,000 Qi troops, they would definitely be able to completely break them up in one meeting.

After all, pigs will not mutiny, escape, or trip up friendly troops.

Therefore, the first thing Zhao Haiping has to do is to screen out those soldiers who have real combat effectiveness and potential from the barracks, and then focus on training after being selected.

Soldiers are fine, not many.

"Order!

"Called several lieutenants over, I have something to say to them.

"In addition, inform the whole army that the school martial arts will be re-examined tomorrow in the school grounds. Those who perform well can be promoted as appropriate!"

Zhao Haiping gave an order, and the whole barracks began to get busy.

...

While Zhao Haiping was training soldiers wholeheartedly, Chu Ge was doubting his life.

He wondered from the bottom of his heart, is there a bug in this game?

After teaming up with Li Hongyun to kill Qi Yingzong, he has also passed the first stage and obtained the qualification for the second stage.

Among the three identities, after Chu Ge vacillated between the scribe and the prince, he finally decided to choose the scribe status.

Judging from the portrait on the card, this official's status should not be low.

After all, the Yushi Zhongcheng played in the first stage is already a third-rank official. If this is not Zaizhi, it will be difficult to end.

However, when Chu Ge was looking forward to waking up in Zai Zhi's mansion, the first thing that caught his eyes was the golden man's leather whip.

With a crisp sound of "snap", Chu Ge was pumped to the point where he was in a mess.

"Hurry up and go!"

A golden cavalryman on a horse cursed viciously, then put his legs between the horse's belly, and went to patrol the rear of the queue again.

Chu Ge looked dazed, and he touched the place on his body where he was beaten by the whip.

"hiss……"

Don't think about it, it must be a blood mark.

That's why Chu Ge wondered if there was a bug somewhere.

What about the high-status civil servants? Is it at least a prime minister?

Looking around, Chu Ge found that he was in a long queue, using his own two legs, to move forward with difficulty to the north.

"No way……

"Could it be that this is the way to be taken captive to the Kingdom of Jin?

"Damn! You've been duped!"

Chu Ge was speechless, and regretted choosing this identity very much.

How did it start here?

Obviously, this happened after the Jingping Incident.

During the Jingping Incident, the Jin people kidnapped the royal family and many officials of Bianliang, and drove them back to the Kingdom of Jin to paralyze the command center of the Qi Dynasty.

Along the way, naturally, it will not be a chic and comfortable travel.

For Jin people, although these people cannot be killed at will, is it important? That's not particularly important either. The female family members of the royal family can be abused wantonly. As for princes, civil servants, etc., it is just four words: just live.

In this case, the treatment can be imagined.

Fortunately, the designer of this game should have some conscience, and did not allow Chu Ge to fully experience the entire process of going north.

After symbolically explaining the process on the road, Chu Ge became a prisoner.

And in the process, he knew his name, which was still Li Hao.

It's just that this identity obviously didn't continue the plot development of the first stage.

This is normal, after all, in Chu Ge's previous story line, Yushi Zhongcheng Li Hao had already committed suicide because of adultery with the assassin.

But in this story line at this time, Yushi Zhongcheng Li Hao did not play a big role in the Jingping Incident in the end, and was finally taken captive to the Kingdom of Jin along with Qi Huizong, Qi Yingzong and many officials in the capital city. , became a prisoner.

Chu Ge also knew something about the history of this period of time.

After arriving in the Kingdom of Jin, Qi Huizong was forced to kowtow to the princes of the Kingdom of Jin, and to kowtow to the ancestors of the Jin people in filial piety.

Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong, these two trash, of course deserve it, but it's a pity for other innocent people.

It's just that these have nothing to do with Li Hao played by Chu Ge. At this time, he is just an ordinary member among many prisoners.

Although the place where he was held was not a prison with particularly bad conditions, but a very common residence among Jin people, the conditions and treatment in all aspects would certainly not be good.

Most importantly, without freedom, the days of captivity are far away.

Chu Ge also had the idea of ​​suicide and reopening, but after thinking about it, he decided to take another look.

It's not that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, this is a dungeon, and suicide is already a routine operation for players.

The reason why Chu Ge didn't die was just to figure out what the goal of this identity's customs clearance was, and why his clearance was the least difficult among the three identities.

Fortunately, the game automatically skipped some meaningless and boring links, and the goal quickly became clear:

In the process of distributing captives, look for your own lifeline!

Among the captives of the Qi Dynasty captured by the Jin people, civil officials like Li Hao were quite popular.

Female family members can only be reduced to the playthings of the golden man;

The royal family is basically imprisoned, and no Jinren really dare to use it.

Only these civil servants are educated, have certain skills and political ability, the key point is that they may not be really loyal to the DPRK, and there is a possibility of instigating rebellion.

For Jin people, these are quite scarce resources.

After all, it would be a good thing to be a senior official in the Qi Dynasty and be a staff member under his account.

Therefore, many nobles of the Jin people began to look for these high-ranking officials of the Qi Dynasty, and received them as staff under their own tents.

Chu Ge was clearly aware of the situation at this time.

From the perspective of the country's righteousness, of course it is impossible to give these Jin people a good face at this time. Even if they become captives, they cannot offer any strategy to the Jin people.

Or to be more extreme, you should die for your country.

But after all, those who really planned to die for the country had long since died. After all the hardships along the way to the Kingdom of Jin, the rest of them wanted to live on.

What's more, Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong, the biggest culprits of the Jingping Incident, are still alive and well. Why should we die for the country?

Many officials estimate that this is the idea.

If you don't do anything, the result is nothing more than two, either you will be killed one day because a certain golden nobleman is unhappy, or you will be a prisoner all the time, living in obscurity in the bitter cold place of the golden country until you die.

So, after thinking about it, Chu Ge finally made up his mind to be active in the process of allocating prisoners in order to explore what kind of possibilities there would be.
