(By the way, no one has beards, or mustaches, or long hair well except maybe for the women.)
It was the next day when all the new recruits would start their training near Shanghai. It was decided that they would train here because they would be able to train the new naval staff as it was a port city, the world's busiest. Soldiers started their day's as early as possible, including Cao. Although he sometimes he hated getting up too early, it also resulted in having a long day. But he would've enjoyed it more if he could do as he pleased. Anyway, he was now supposed to help train these conscripts. He had been summoned to the auditorium for an introduction like the others.
Here were the few hundred recruits standing in groups according to their military department: there were those in the PLA, PLA-Air Force, and PLA-Navy. They had not yet been given their uniforms since they were not considered fully fledged soldiers. They took a seat and before them was a dais with a speaker on it and behind were chairs much comfier than the recruits sat it. He was to sit in one of the comfortable chairs. As he made his way to one, there were those sitting in them already. Out of all of them, he knew Lu Bu, Sun Ren, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Lu Xun. Their were three others two of them had true blue air force uniforms he had not yet met: one was a bald man with a muscular exterior with a mean, evil looking face in army uniform. The next was an air force captain who had a calm face that seemed to have no expression on it. The last was another air force officer who was slim and had an oval-shaped head.
He took his seat and sat next to Dun. They waited a bit and Bu got up from his seat and went to the dais. He turned on the speaker and took out a piece of paper and read from it.
"Comrades, welcome to camp. My name is Comrade Bu and I'll be in charge of your training. You will all be working together because we must learn to work together."
Taking his eyes off the piece of paper, he now looked at the staff.
"Here are your instructors. The army trainees will be under my supervision in addition of running the whole thing myself. Your teachers will be NCO 6th Class Dian Wei..." Cao saw as Bu looked the evil-looking muscular man. So his name was Dian Wei.
"...then next is Lieutenant Xiahou Dun, NCO 6th Class Sun Ren, and Captain Cao Cao. Then we have Cadet Lu Xun, 2nd Lieutenant Sun Quan, and Lieutenant Sun Ce to teach those who signed up for the navy. Finally, we have the air force instructors. Qualified officers are understaffed so we only have 2nd Lieutenant Zhang He, and Lieutenant Zhuge Liang" he said finally finishing introductions.
"I should let you all know that being in here means you'll have to do very well. You'll all have to be tough to survive.", Lu Bu said at last.
After that, training immediately began. Bu left somewhere to do whatever, and the naval and air force trainees went to do their training under their instructors. So that meant Cao was in charge of drilling the troops. Randomly choosing what to teach them first, he decided that the most important was to be fir for service. It would be hard to make sure that nearly three hundred men were watched over so he split them up into four groups. Dun would make sure that his group were fast runners. Dian Wei would make sure that they were strong. Next, Ren's job was to make sure they passed her survival challenge. She herself told him what that was. It would be interesting, so he had his approval. Then to make sure they all knew what a good soldier was, they will take turns teaching groups. As for him, he decided that he'd take part in these excercises. Then he would give them all a lesson on knowing strategy and tactics.
Cao chose to go with Dun first. They were about to go on a 3 and half mile jog. Cao decided to tell them the importance of it.
"With Lt. Xiahou, you will have to learn to be good runners. Having speed gives you an advantage over your enemies. The Mongols had speed using their cavalry. Because of that, they were able to conquer much of Eurasia!" he spoke up to them. Their jog began. He told Dun to be behind everyone as he led the group while all others were in front. He knew very well that Dun was aggressive so if you fell behind he'd do anything to make sure you keep up. He would.
They had been going for only 10 min. and Dun already noticed that two people were behind everyone else considerably. He ran up to them.
"You two! Keep up!" he barked to them. He saw that they were sweating a lot more than he was. One was a very large man with a round body. His eyes and mouth were big. The other had a muscular body and a serious face. He concluded that they weren't able to keep up because of their bigger masses. Instead of doing what he told them to do, they began to sweat more and the bigger one fell down coughing and as well knocking the other down.
"Get up!" he said fiercely to both. They tried, but were not able to due to apparent fatigue. Both were coughing. "I said get up!" they still could not. Dun had to make sure they were able to. "On the battlefield, you won't have time for anything! You'll need to run as fast as you can or else the enemy will shoot you!" He moved over to help them get up, but he wasn't gentle. Just then, Cao came running over to them. Up ahead Dun saw the whole group just sitting or standing. In order for them to do so, Cao himself had to give the order.
"What's going on?" Cao asked Dun.
"Sir, these two slacked behind" Dun responded attentively.
Cao took a look at them. He knew that one of them was Zhang Fei, the one who had the thunderous voice. For a moment, he didn't recognize him because his beard and mustache was shaven off. He noticed his eyes burned with dislike as he took a quick glimpse at Dun. Then the other. He had large eyes and a large mouth. And of course, his body was too. Both looked tired, especially the big one.
"What is your name?" he asked looking at the extremely exhausted one.
"Xu... Shu..." he managed to say heavily trying to catch his breath.
"Dun, he is in no condition to do such a form of exercise yet. He will have to walk the rest of the journey. And you may do the same too if you feel like it" he said to Shu then Fei.
The rest of their short journey came to an end about one hour and forty- five minutes later. Cao saw that they were'nt fast enough, but if they kept doing this, they would become better eventually. Dun had to go take the next group on their jog. Now the group he jogged with would now participate in Wei's excerise.
It was the next day when all the new recruits would start their training near Shanghai. It was decided that they would train here because they would be able to train the new naval staff as it was a port city, the world's busiest.
