Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 54 Good Hope
Liu He looked at the people wolfing down their food, and was thinking about the next arrangements in his mind.

"It seems that we need to prepare more food tomorrow. If we want to improve our combat effectiveness, training alone is not enough. We must at least be well fed. How can we fight on an empty stomach?"

These soldiers certainly couldn't enjoy medicinal food and baths every day like them. Even if he had ten more medicine gardens, they wouldn't be able to feed so many people. But at least they had to have enough food and clothing, otherwise they wouldn't be able to adapt to the high-intensity training he required.

After everyone finished eating and drinking, they all showed satisfied smiles, especially the more than 130 people. They felt that although they had been bandits for several years and had a carefree life, it was only today that they felt happy. It was a great feeling to receive recognition and praise from others, which made them more determined to do their best to protect this land.

After Liu He saw off Xu, Zhang Yu and many other villagers, he returned to his original place.

"Brothers, let me explain our temporary training plan."

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully. If one of them didn't hear clearly, they might have to run another lap.

This plan was discussed and decided by Liu He, Guan Yu, Zhang Yong and others in the past few days. Zhu Ye's requirements were too high, and Zhang Yu's requirements were too low. After a compromise, it became what it is now.

"Just like when we first started training, we first trained our physique and then trained our weapons. Since everyone is new to this kind of training and we have farm work to do at home, we have decided to train every three days, starting at noon each time. As for how to train this physical fitness, let Brother Zhu Ye explain it to everyone."

The reason why Zhu Ye was asked to explain was mainly because of Zhu Ye's bravery, which left the deepest impression on these people, especially for the 130 people, Zhu Ye's hammering down the village gate was deeply rooted in their hearts.

Zhu Ye, holding two hammers in his hands, walked to the center with a proud look on his face.

"Brothers, if you want to be as strong as me, you need to be strong! How can you be strong? The first thing is to eat enough and get enough sleep!"

Zhu Ye's words caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the atmosphere immediately eased.

"Hehe, I wasn't wrong!" Zhu Ye grinned.

"After eating, what should we do? We need to train. How should we train? It's very simple. We can follow the training method that we followed Brother Liu. The content is the same, but of course the difficulty of training is lowered a bit, so it's still very easy!"

"In addition to the regular drills, morale-building and discipline, each training session also includes running, wrestling in pairs, and some special movements. Of course, these contents are only temporary and will be gradually strengthened in the future, and the punishment content will be increased depending on the situation. As for the movements of these training contents, we will demonstrate them later."

In Zhu Ye's opinion, this training content was too easy. When he first followed Liu He, the intensity was much higher than this.

However, just these contents have already made the people below sigh.

“There are so many. It’s so difficult.”

"I feel like I'll never be able to catch up with these heroes in my lifetime."

"It's much more tiring than farming."

"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't you hear what Zhu Yingxiong said? They trained like this in the beginning. As long as we keep training like this, maybe in a few years we can become as powerful as those heroes!"

"Yes, yes, if that is really possible, then maybe we will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield and make achievements, bringing honor to our family!"

When they thought of this, they forgot the difficulty of the training. They were all very happy, as if they had seen the day when they would stand out. Liu He and others were very pleased to see the high morale of the militiamen.

Liu He and others personally demonstrated and explained several training items one by one, led everyone to train together, and corrected their postures and movements one by one.

Guan Yu and the other five each led a team of local militia, totaling 46 people, with Liu He as the general commander.

Ye Xiang's fighting power is relatively low, and although he is called a commander, he is actually just receiving training together. However, his archery skills are quite good, and everyone admires him, so he is able to lead a team.

After a day of training, these people were all sweating and panting. Some of those who were weaker even looked a little pale.

After Liu He announced the end of the training, everyone dispersed and went back to their homes. Of course, Ye Xiang followed Liu He and others back to the Liu family, where they had medicated food and took a medicated bath together.

These people are Liu He's first batch of military generals, so of course they have to be trained with the best resources. This way, when the Yellow Turbans revolt, they will have enough capital to make a big splash.

The so-called combination of work and rest, the theory of the stick and the sweet date, Liu He has practiced hard for so many years and knows this truth very well. If you keep making strict demands on the militia team without any practical benefits, it won't be long before everyone's enthusiasm will decline, because strength is something that cannot be significantly improved in a short period of time.

Without feeling the huge improvement in strength and with the training being so strenuous, it is inevitable that the morale of the troops will begin to wane.

So after two more training sessions, Liu He took out some money and asked his father, Chief Qian, and a few villagers to go to the county town to purchase some food and meat. They prepared a pretty sumptuous meal the next morning for the militiamen to have a good meal.

Meat is as attractive to these villagers as gold. When they see that there is real meat cooking in the pot, everyone's eyes widen.

Only after eating and drinking enough and resting for fifteen minutes did we start training. Everyone's enthusiasm was obviously much higher than in the previous two training sessions.

Liu He stipulated that after every five training sessions, as long as no mistakes were made, one could enjoy a public lunch, and there would be some meat. Everyone's morale was immediately high, and they trained harder and harder.

As a result, the physical fitness of these two hundred people improved rapidly, and many of the younger people grew taller, but the downside was that everyone's appetite also increased. Even after raiding the stronghold and selling the money left by the Zhu family, they could only sustain for half a year.

Fortunately, under the leadership of Liu Qian and Qian Tingzhang, everyone worked together to reclaim wasteland and adopted the new irrigation and planting methods explored by Liu Qian and others according to the manual given by Liu He, which increased the yield of corn per acre by about 15%.

The per-mu yield has increased, the land has been increased, and safety has been guaranteed. The two pavilion chiefs estimate that the total grain output of the township can be increased by 40% to 50% this year, so after the autumn harvest, self-sufficiency in grain can be basically guaranteed.

In the past, after paying various taxes and levies, people might not even have 20% of their harvest left. Add to that the looting by bandits and the occasional natural disaster, and you can imagine how hard life was.

Now that the harvest has improved and the threat of robbers has disappeared, life has naturally become better.

"Good days are coming. People in our whole village are becoming more and more hopeful, all thanks to your good son."

Chief Qian said this to Liu Qian while they were resting in the fields. This made Liu Qian happier than eating meat.
