Chapter 978

"If those new recruits hadn't been on the battlefield, why would we need to be left behind?"

"We must train them to death!"

"If you don't sweat in training, you'll bleed in battle!"

Deputy General Qian was very annoyed; if it weren't for these generals lacking experience,

they wouldn't have had to be left behind.

Now that they were left behind, his mood naturally wasn't any better.

"Yes, yes, yes."

The new recruit general could only nod and smile.

Deputy General Qian thought for a while and continued.

"How about this: of the 100,000 new recruits, leave 50,000 to patrol and 50,000 to continue training."

"Rotate them every two days."

"Have them all stay on the Great Wall and strictly guard against a Xiongnu attack."

"The two remaining telescopes must also be put to use."

"Make sure we aren't wiped out here by the Xiongnu."

Deputy General Qian issued one order after another.

Fortunately, two telescopes had been left behind.

Otherwise, this matter would have been truly difficult to handle.

The other generals nodded in agreement.

This group left the small hill and walked toward the camp.

The camp was now empty.

The 100,000 new recruits were also beginning their morning drills.

Soon.

Deputy General Qian's orders were quickly disseminated.

The 100,000 new recruits also quickly separated.

Although they didn't know what had happened,

nor did they know why the Border Defense Army had left so suddenly after just returning,

this did not affect their training or their obedience to orders.

50,000 soldiers were arranged to go to the Great Wall to patrol.

The training ground suddenly emptied out.

Only 50,000 soldiers remained to continue their daily training.

"Deputy General Qian, I wonder where the Border Defense Army went?"

"They left in such a baffling way."

A new recruit general wanted to inquire about some things.

But he was flatly refused by Deputy General Qian.

"This is a military secret."

"This is not something you should be asking about."

"Loose lips will cost you your head."

"Do not ask about things you shouldn't know in the future."

Deputy General Qian's tone was stern, scaring the new recruit general into a state of confusion.

Although he was also an old general and knew not to ask around,

he was curious, and many soldiers below had entrusted him to ask.

He himself also wanted to know what had happened.

Many people were guessing what had occurred.

Now that Deputy General Qian had spoken this way, they didn't dare to speak anymore.

They nodded timidly and agreed.

Deputy General Qian was also somewhat helpless.

This matter had been specifically instructed by Grand General Meng Tian.

Do not let too many people know about this.

This was not a good thing; he was just afraid of disturbing the morale of the army. ===== CHAPTER 980 =====
