The recuperation of the two armies lasted for a whole year, and apart from a few inconsequential skirmishes in Hanoi and Hedong, there were almost no more sword soldiers in all parts of the Han Dynasty.

How to make the most effective use of this year for pre-war deployment will be the key to influencing the outcome of the future, so both sides racked their brains to adjust their own armies to the best state.

Peng Yu has a heavy responsibility, military, political, and financial grasp, although there is almost no war this year, but Peng Yu feels extremely long, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest, of course, this year is extremely fulfilling, training, making weapons, making money, selling wine, and formulating combat strategies all need Peng Yu's participation, fortunately, there are many talents under his command, otherwise I am afraid that I will be tired to death in a year.

Wuguan General Peng Yu originally had a total of nearly 70,000 soldiers, but unfortunately except for Hongnong's 50,000 soldiers, the other soldiers were all transferred to Luoyang by Liu Hong, so Peng Yu still only had more than 50,000 Hongnong troops under him.

Because the 50,000 Hongnong Army is actually a captive of the Yellow Turbans, it can be regarded as a team that grew on the battlefield, so it does not lack actual combat effectiveness, they are also the elite of the Zhang Jiao team, what they lack is only loyalty, just make their sense of belonging stronger during the period of recuperation, and they will immediately be a team that can fight well.

Therefore, Peng Yu's training focuses on loyalty, and this is undoubtedly Peng Yu's strength.

What is loyalty, to put it bluntly, is to follow the hope of the commander of one side.

Why did you rebel with the Yellow Turbans? Most people are still just trying to eat, if they don't rebel, they have to starve to death, and they will sacrifice their lives with the yellow scarf, maybe they can not only make a full meal but also make a contribution, why not?

Why follow Dahan? It is also because of this that following the Han army has food, a way out, and meritorious service, so it is so.

Why did the 50,000 Hongnong army follow Peng Yu? Lao Tzu not only eats and drinks well here, but also looks forward to it, don't you see that Zhou Cang is mixed with the commander of one side? Anyone can be promoted, anyone can be promoted, as long as you meet the requirements of General Peng's military training.

Peng Yu's requirements for training are simpler, there is only one sentence, those who listen to Lao Tzu's orders eat and drink well, and those who do not listen to Lao Tzu's orders will be beheaded.

It's as easy to understand, simple and crude.

And Peng Yu's eating and drinking is not just a simple four words, Peng Yu has recently been extremely famous in the court, and the ministers of the court and the central government have to give a few thin noodles, so the soldiers' food and clothing have already been fully matched, and as long as the other requirements are not too excessive, the courtiers are satisfied to the maximum extent within their authority.

And Peng Yu himself is one of the richest people in the world, eating and drinking well means that there is meat every day, and there is wine every other day, so that although Hongnong Bingding is trained very hard, he has no complaints in his heart.

To treat the drills of this batch of Hongnong Army, Peng Yu combined the training method of the modern regular army, requiring all the soldiers under Peng Yu's command to run ten miles in the morning and evening every day, rain and rain, and the military posture for two hours a day is even more thunderous, and occasionally several emergency gatherings in the middle of the night, and the training highlights of each department can directly serve as the commander of each battalion, the commander of the pick-up and even the Dubo.

Eating and drinking well is to give this group of soldiers a current feeling, having the opportunity to be promoted is to give this group of soldiers a future, and there is no mercy on those who do not obey orders, with these three things, this group of soldiers slowly adapted to Peng Yu's rhythm.

As for the other drills of each department, it is fully handed over to the generals of each ministry to be responsible, Peng Yu does not participate, but will conduct a monthly training competition between the ministries, try to ask Xu Huang, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other leading generals, which is not above the top, that is willing to practice to be trampled under the feet of others, of course, is trying his best to practice the ministries.

On this day, Peng Yu went to reward the soldiers again, not only with wine and meat, but also with enough to be full, the soldiers around him couldn't help but shine but did not move, Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others were even more energetic, holding their heads high.

Because although everyone has a share in Peng Yu's reward, they are divided into grades, and the level of the exercise ranking corresponds to the amount of meat and wine, which is fair and reasonable.

Of course, the military posture that Peng Yu is most concerned about is the drill, the military posture is extremely simple, but it can best train the execution attitude of the soldiers, and they can not move for an hour in a row, and they can also exercise the willpower of the soldiers the most.

This group of soldiers has long been well-trained, and they are still motionless after approaching an hour, this grade is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish, but fortunately, Peng Yu has been prepared, and nodded at Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He.

I saw Lu Bu, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao walking in front of Zhang He's soldiers, Lu Bu suddenly made a move, and Fang Tian's halberd slapped towards a soldier's head like sweeping thousands of troops, this soldier was motionless, and only three inches away from the soldier's head, "swish" stopped the attack.

Zhang He almost couldn't help laughing, and secretly praised in his heart, this little soldier is good, he didn't embarrass me.

Zhang Liao shot straight through the door of another soldier, the soldier's eyes closed, but he still didn't move, "hey" Zhang Liao's gun stopped attacking three inches in front of the tip of his nose.

Zhang He's face was even more ruddy, thinking that as long as he passed Xu Huang's test, he was afraid that he would be the first this time, right?

I saw Xu Huang come to a soldier, suddenly shouted, a hammer fell on the soldier's forehead, the extremely large hammer whirring, but the speed of the fall was not fast, when the hammer was five inches away from the soldier, the soldier's face was pale, and his head involuntarily leaned back.

Zhang He's face changed, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were happy, the military posture training has been so far, it is almost difficult to distinguish the ranking, although this soldier only tilted his head back and did not move his steps, but he moved against the military order, this time Zhang He not only can't win the first, but also the penultimate first.

The soldier's face was pale, sweat was like rain, but he didn't dare to move at all, Zhang He's face was black, his teeth rattled, and his heart was furious.

Peng Yu is very satisfied with the tricks he came up with, it is not difficult to stand still in a military posture, but the difficult thing is to watch the knives, guns and sticks flying on your head, can you still be motionless? Only when you experience the moment of life and death can you know whether you still choose to carry out the order first!

This method can temper the iron will of the soldiers, and only then can they really achieve the order and prohibition.

However, when Peng Yu looked at Xu Huang's sledgehammer, Wu Zi felt a little palpitating, thinking that this soldier was just leaning back, if Lao Tzu demonstrated it himself, he would be scared to pee.

The crowd no longer stayed, but continued to come to other departments to continue practicing.

……

……

For a long time, Peng Yu's training was in the initial stage, and he did not put forward a comprehensive training plan, and this time, with an army of 50,000, he immediately used all the modern training and his own whimsical tricks on the Hongnong Army.

The military posture station meets the standards and then makes a queue, and the queue is neat and then an emergency assembly, and when these meet the requirements, the drill finally begins to practice late at night in the field.

In the middle of the night, the soldiers heard the drums, did not panic, quickly assembled, instantly formed a strong combat force, or counterattack, or raid, or even asked for a sound assembly, etc.

Not to mention that these training methods seem nondescript at first glance, they seem to be child's play, but after a long time, famous generals such as Lu Bu and Xu Huang have seen the clues.

The daily long-distance running exercises the physical strength, the daily military posture exercises the will, and the occasional emergency assembly exercises the vigilance, which is an excellent army that can strengthen the faith, iron will, quick response, and be able to fight well, and enforce the prohibition.

…………

Over the course of the year, as the soldiers' loyalty became higher and higher, the sense of belonging became stronger and stronger, and the sense of obedience became stronger and stronger, Peng Yu began to slowly create a large number of equipment for the soldiers, swords, guns, bows and arrows, clothing and leather armor and even bags for rapid marching were all equipped one by one, although these instruments were far from being comparable with the generals' equipment, but they were much stronger than any soldiers in the world during the same period.

Peng Yu also designed the "Peng Hou Repeater" with Pu Bai, although these repeaters are still in the initial stage, but they are still amazingly powerful, more than ten arrows can be produced in an instant, more than 1,000 people can come to a thousand arrows at a time, although the accuracy of the repeater is not as good as the bow and arrow, but such an instantaneous large area of coverage covers up this shortcoming, just imagine if it is used unexpectedly in the siege, or when the two armies face each other, the instant lethality is too amazing.

Pu Bai was extremely shocked by Peng Yu's design, and regarded Peng Yu as a celestial, but the ballista and catapult proposed by Peng Yu were still difficult to make after racking his brains, so he had to give up, but fortunately, with the "Peng Hou Repeater", it was also a killer weapon, and he was more confident when he marched and fought in the future.

As for the generals' equipment, Peng Yu is built at any cost, these fierce generals follow their own birth to death, but they can't be injured by hidden arrows, not only the generals in the army have a few sets of top-level armor equipment, but even the battalion Dubo and Du Lieutenant also have a set, but the materials used are worse than those of the generals.

When the weapons and equipment are sufficient, the combat effectiveness of the Hongnong Legion is getting stronger and stronger, Peng Yu began to practice the legion to cooperate with each other, and the combat design is extremely simple, such as the sword and shield soldiers, order to "advance", that is, to move forward three steps at the same time, "defense" is to raise the shield at the same time, and "attack" is to cut at the same time.

The most important thing in cooperation is to be uniform, thousands of people act together, just like one person, raising a shield at the same time, raising a knife at the same time, and cutting down at the same time.

As for the pikemen and other types of troops, the same is true, they advance when they hear the drums, retreat when they hear the gold, no one stops when they hear the drums, and they do not lose their equipment when they hear the gold.

The first thing that the big army can do with each other is to be able to understand the flag, which part advances, which part retreats, and there must not be the slightest mistake or omission, these are not Peng Yu's half-baked level can be fooled, so they have to be entrusted to Xu Huang, Lu Bu and others.

In this way, the whole army, the generals and soldiers are all linked, the drills of the 50,000 Hongnong Army are in full swing, the spiritual morale of the soldiers is changing with each passing day, and a team that will make the yellow turbans fearful in the future grows day by day.

The establishment of such a mighty legion is inseparable from the creation of huge money, and His Majesty Liu Hong has always been the emperor who only cares about chickens laying eggs, regardless of feeding chicken food, hoping to deduct money from His Majesty, that is an act of looking for death, so this huge cost can only be paid by Peng Yu out of his own pocket, but fortunately, in this year, Peng Yu has created several ways to make money.
