"I know youre all wondering why Im picking you out of the slave camp, but I wont give you an explanation, and you dont have the right to know. What I will tell you is that what I need are people who can eat and drink, if any of you have a small appetite or cant hold your liquor, then Ill send you back to the slave camp." Persevering with all his might, Xu Haifeng shouted at the three thousand slaves in front of him.

  Satisfied, he looked down and saw a slight commotion rising among them. He knew his words had taken effect. As early as last night, he had already made a detailed training plan for the next three months. Now that everything was ready, it could be said that all preparations were complete.

  Xu Haifeng waved his hand and said, "Bring wine and dishes."

  Twenty large carts slowly pushed forward from outside the camp, and when they reached the center of the field, the Imperial Guards opened the car covers, and a strong aroma of food suddenly wafted out. The three thousand slave soldiers below simultaneously twitched their noses, and most peoples mouths kept moving. In the slave camp, they ate coarse grains with vegetable leaves, and occasionally finding two drops of oil was considered a delicious dish. How could they have eaten such a sumptuous meal? The sky is big, the earth is big, but the belly is bigger, and a rumbling sound quietly arose.

  "Now, lets eat. You are divided into twenty teams, with one hundred and fifty people in front of each car. Each person will get a bowl of rice, a piece of meat, and a dish of vegetables from me. Whoever cant finish eating will be sent back to the slave camp." Xu Haifeng shouted, gesturing with his hands.

  After a good deal of confusion, when everyone had finished eating, Xu Haifeng said: "From now on, you will have meat for every meal, and the amount of food will gradually increase. Once your stomach gets used to it, there will be no more restrictions. Food is guaranteed here. Now bring wine."

  The guards brought up dozens of jars of wine, opened the mud seals, and took out countless large bowls, pouring them one by one.

  "The meal is over, now give me wine to drink. Whoever cant finish this bowl of wine is a coward. I dont need such a useless person here, send them back to the slave camp."

  Since most of the slaves in the camp were either captured soldiers or convicts, their capacity for liquor was naturally not small. Seeing the fine wine before them, Xu Haifeng didnt need to say anything; they wouldnt let it go to waste even if he did. Besides, everyone had heard about it - as long as you stayed here, youd be treated to good wine and meat, whereas if you returned to the slave camp... well, the treatment was easy to imagine. On one side was heaven, on the other hell; even an idiot would know which side to choose. So even those who didnt usually drink were forcing themselves to down it all in one gulp.

  "Very good, your performance is not bad, and you must be like this in the future. If someone doesnt listen, send them away immediately, dont show any mercy." Xu Haifeng saw that they all drank up quickly, nodded satisfactorily: "Now you go back to camp to rest, lets meet again at dinner time tonight."

  Having said that, he led his personal guards away without looking back, leaving behind the three thousand men staring at each other in a daze, as if they had fallen into a dream.

  For three consecutive days, during these three days, Xu Haifeng appeared on time at meal times, with good wine and meat for each meal. The difference was that the meals were no longer held in a gathering of 3,000 people, but were divided into six teams, with 500 people per team eating separately. In addition, dinner was delayed by an hour every day, until the seventh day, when Xu Haifeng simply ordered the 3,000 soldiers to wash up first and then eat, and after finishing their meal, they immediately returned to camp to sleep, and were not allowed to leave the camp at night, with violators being beheaded without exception.

  On the tenth night, Xu Haifeng yelled again and then served dinner. Finally, he handed over a bowl of wine. After drinking, the slaves went back to their camp to sleep as usual. However, this time was slightly different. They all felt dizzy and sleepy, and as soon as they returned to their tents, they fell onto the carpet. Some people didnt even find their pillows before falling asleep. Occasionally, two people discovered that something was wrong, but under the impact of the drug, they were already helpless.

  Xu Haifeng carefully planned for a long time, all for this bowl of wine. After drinking the blood wine, they will definitely fall asleep within half an hour. If they were given blood wine to drink on the first day, they would definitely not be able to return to their camp within half an hour. If they fell asleep in a mess, even a blind person could see that there was something fishy about the wine.

  He had two purposes in doing so. Firstly, to cover up his true intentions, as he knew that his troops were performing too well on the battlefield and many people were paying attention to him, at least Gu Dao Yan Da Yuanshuai was showing great interest in his military training methods. Now, day after day, he only rewarded wine and dishes, so no matter who could not see the mystery behind it.

  Secondly, in order to put people at ease, although these slave soldiers were all starving miserably, not everyone was completely off guard. According to the private observations of the Imperial Guard, at least a dozen people didnt eat anything on the first day and only relaxed their vigilance and started eating on the sixth day.

  After ten days of repetitive actions, Xu Haifeng finally succeeded in getting everyone to drink the blood wine, and most importantly, everyone returned to their tents to sleep without arousing anyones suspicion.

  This night was destined to be a sleepless one. Among the 123 personal guards of Xu Haifeng, only more than 20 people could read and write, and only 15 people could write fluently. An hour later, these 15 people went to 15 barracks respectively, inquiring about each persons origin, ability, and specialty, and recording them for Xu Haifeng to review.

  The military camp here is more than thirty miles away from the Western Capital, and it was specially allocated to him by Gu Dao for training soldiers. Outside the camp, a team of 10,000 people is stationed, with the aim of preventing slaves from escaping and rioting, and of course, there is another unspoken goal of monitoring Xu Haifengs movements. Xu Haifeng, who knew this in his heart, would order the closure of the gate every night, and the guards would patrol 24 hours a day. If any suspicious person was found, they would be caught on the spot, and if they resisted, they would be killed on the spot.

  Every ten people live in a tent, three thousand people need three hundred tents. They ask one tent at a time and record it, which takes at least an hour. Fortunately, once they find someone with good writing skills, they arrange for them to work together. It was like this that after a busy day the next day, they finally got a rough count of everyones basic situation.

  Starting from the twelfth day, Xu Haifengs true training plan was put on the agenda. Under the leadership of Qin Yong, this big monster, all soldiers began to fight with real swords and guns, forgetting their lives. Once someone was seriously injured, they would be dragged away, drink a bowl of blood wine, sleep for an hour, and when they got up again, they would be refreshed and full of energy.

  These three thousand people came from all over the world, with five lakes and four seas. There were Caesarians who were at war with the Great Han, bandits from the south of the Great Han, Tuyuhun and Xixia people whose countries had been destroyed by the Caesarians, and dozens of Xiongnu people who had been sworn enemies of the Great Han for centuries.

  What delighted Xu Haifeng the most was that he unexpectedly discovered two talents among them.

  One was a martial arts expert from the southern empire, named Lin Changkong. According to his own introduction, he had a great reputation in Jianghu, but three years ago, he offended an uninvited enemy and had no choice but to flee to a distant land and hide in a slave camp. This person was originally a second-rate martial artist, but after drinking the blood wine, his martial arts skills greatly improved, and he has already joined the ranks of top-notch experts, second only to several legendary grandmaster-level experts.

  Xu Haifeng changed his mind once he investigated the matter and had him teach the soldiers basic martial arts. Although the close combat skills used on the battlefield were vastly different from the delicate skills in the martial arts world, not everyone could practice internal strength, but practicing some basic skills could indeed enhance physical fitness and increase individual combat capabilities. Lin Changkong also created a set of knife and fist techniques suitable for soldiers during his three years with the army in the Western Regions, each style was bold and powerful, relying solely on pure power and speed, which suited these slave soldiers who had drunk blood wine and had superhuman physical qualities.

  As for the other person, it made Xu Haifeng extremely happy. His Blood Wine could only have an effect on most peoples physical constitution once, and after that, drinking it again would only have a healing effect without being able to further increase their strength.

  But there is one person who can nearly infinitely increase his strength with the Blood Wine, and among the two thousand people last time, only Qin Yong was able to do so. This is also the reason why he can stand out on the battlefield, invincible, and practice the Thirteen Taobaos horizontal exercise to a realm of thirteen layers that has never been seen before.

  This time, there was also one person who, after drinking the blood wine multiple times, not only recovered from his injuries but also increased his strength. He was a Xiongnu man named Zhebie, which means "divine archer" in the Xiongnu language. His specialty was archery, and shooting arrows that could pierce through objects 100 paces away was childs play for him. However, after drinking the blood wine multiple times, his eyesight, wrist strength, and arm strength all increased to an unimaginable extent.

  He originally used a four-stone bow, with no misses within 100 meters, but now he has switched to a five-stone bow, with a range of up to 200 meters, far beyond the reach of ordinary people. And as the number of times he drank blood wine increased, his use of the five-stone bow had become somewhat soft.

  To be honest, during this period of time, Xu Haifeng was able to provide so much fresh blood wine, all thanks to the credit of Drunken Moon Wine. His physical constitution is special, and he can absorb the essence of Drunken Moon Wine and transform it into his own blood. If not for this, he would have been weakened to the point of being bedridden long ago. And the aftereffect of drinking so much Drunken Moon Wine was a surge in lust, making Xu Haifeng, who had just tasted the forbidden fruit, feel unbearably stifled every night, unable to fall asleep at all.

  But he knew that this was a critical moment, and even if he had the courage of a giant, he didnt dare to go to a brothel to relieve himself. The consequence of holding back was that every day he became more irritable and violent, training his soldiers with increasing ferocity, simply being ruthless. If it were an ordinary person, nine out of ten would have run away, while the rest would have been sacrificed in the training camp. Fortunately, the army that had drunk blood wine was willing to endure ten times the hardship without complaint, and even those who were seriously injured had good medicine and blood wine to save their lives. So a month passed, not only did no one die unexpectedly, but they also developed a fierce killing aura and an overbearing aura.
