Chapter 107: If you want to govern the people, you must first govern the army

At this time, it is already the middle of March, which is equivalent to the end of February in the later Gregorian calendar, even if the climate of the Xiaoice River period in this era is abnormal, farming is almost postponed for half a month, and there are forty-five days, it is necessary to prepare for spring ploughing, Cao Cao wants a grain silo in Dongjun, not to maintain the status quo, for Wang Hou, it is really a tight time task.

So, early the next morning, Wang Congge took Wang Hou to stay up all night and write a long list of long and red eyes, and ran towards Xu Du quickly with a horse.

It's just that he accompanied Wang Hou to send Wang Congge out of the door, but Cao Hongjie's bright eyes were full of worry.

"Waste wood, spring ploughing immediately, cattle are used everywhere to shorten the time, five thousand official cattle, Xiang's father's stingy ghost is probably not able to drop the grade to you, as well as farm tools, grain, money and silk, you take care of Taicang, you also know clearly, Xu Du has to spend money everywhere, Xiangfu estimates that he can only give you one-tenth, maybe less!"

"One tenth of them I can steal the fun!"

Listening to Cao Xiaoniu's analysis, Wang Hou himself smiled helplessly, and then he slapped his face energetically: "Let's not talk about this, I'm going to go out to work!" Pole, you go and invite me all the military attachés among the clan masters who followed me to the north! ”

"Little obedience!"

Now these days are the weakest time in Puyang, this year everyone relies on clan power, Liu Yan controls the soldiers and horses of Dongjun, and also relies on his military attache surnamed Liu who is a descendant of King Jibei and the servant, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the same is true of the place, he goes, he goes, the captain of Puyang, the four military horses, and the twenty-two military marquis are all taken away by him, Wang Hou needs to quickly use the best of the military attachés and personal soldiers surnamed Wang in his mastery, and then fill these vacancies.

After all, under Yan Liang's nose, if you want to govern the people, you must first govern the army! First received the wealth left by Liu Yan, and under Wang Hou's order, the eight thousand Puyang soldiers were tossed by him to the school field in the north of the city in less than half an hour to accept the inspection of the leaders.

However, after taking Zhao Yun, Cao Hongjie, half of the officers, and seventeen Taiyuan Wang clans to follow his martial arts and personal soldiers to the school field, Wang Hou had a headache again.

It's really a county soldier, it can be called garbage, not to mention the old and the young, the 8,000 people have not been lined up until now, and they are chaotic into a big cake, and Wang Hou will still have people fighting for the position.

"It's all quiet!"

Pulling his throat, standing on the platform of the mound, Wang Hou shouted loudly, which had a bit of effect, the front two rows looked at him, and he didn't care how many people there were, so he stood in a ball, and the one behind continued to fight.

"Be quiet, listen to the orders of the king!"

The throat was about to be shouted, the old face was red, and Wang Hou roared loudly again, but this time, the county soldiers below should still fight, and they should grab the position.

Looking at the stunned and speechless eyes of the Wang officers, the corners of Wang Hou's mouth couldn't help twitching violently a few times, and then he gently waved two fingers at Zhao Yun.

"Call me!"

Now Zhao Yun is far from being the five tiger generals of Shu Han, his mentality is very active, he is willing to do this job, the wolf howled, more than 300 of his grain troops followed him is fierce rush down, the honest one in front of him slapped the two of them to stand in a position and pushed them back to a position, and those who were not honest dared to grin their teeth and hit them on the spot, and they were pumped according to their faces, their big mouths crackled, and they were pumped happily.

In these years, he is not as disciplined as in later generations, seeing that the new Taishou actually dared to order to beat people, there were really small and small mountain thorns in the army, and dozens of hundreds of fellow clans went up to the wheel electric cannon.

However! What did Wang Hou's subordinates eat? There is meat and vegetables in the meal, and an egg is made up from time to time, and the food is better than Cao Cao's personal guards! And twenty-five hours a day to train him to death, that is called a piece of strength, compared to these county soldiers are not good at idleness, dry and thin a large group. Good guy, even if Zhao Yun is not there, the divided grain team is also a tiger into the flock, and nine people dare to beat one or two hundred people, and what is even more unreasonable is that they have really been beaten.

In the stunned eyes of Wang Duzhong, the military marquis who was close to Wang Hou, he saw that a small ** leader was wearing a wallet against a Wang Hou's pro-soldier is kitten punch, bang, bang, all three fists called the face of the pro-soldier, not to mention, it was really useful, a nosebleed flowed out from under the nostrils of the pro-soldier, his face was a little blue, and the anger value of the pro-soldier was full, and then it was gone.

In the stunned eyes of that little **, this Wang Hou's personal soldier directly cut his left eye socket with an electric cannon, and even Wang Duzhong was the corner of his mouth was twitched, and the kid with black eyes went directly to the ground with a spin shell, and only foamed in his mouth.

The ancient famous generals have all kinds of methods of governing the army, but they can't change an eternal truth, and the hard fist is the truth!

Although it was not really 400 people followed by 8,000 people to bombard, but these strong men and big iron steamed buns from Xu Du were all sudden, and the soldiers of Dongjun County, who had blue noses and swollen faces, finally stood in a large phalanx of 80 by 100, looking at the soldiers of Wang Hou who were pacing around him one by one, these county soldiers were so frightened that they trembled.

However, for a while, Wang Hou was not busy with the appointment of officials, but sat on the bench and looked through the roster of sergeants with a frown, on which he could see that the problem was coming.

There are no subordinates, no garrisons, and there can be a lot of people with the same surname next to each other, which shows a problem, when I joined the army, it was a small family, and the township party was all squeezed into the same army.

In this way, the seven aunts and eight aunts went into battle together, which was actually the characteristic of the Qin and Han dynasties until the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the same is true for Lu Xiang's ascension to heaven at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious, one member of this family fled, and the whole family fled together, and one army collapsed.

In this kind of poorly trained county soldiers, this shortcoming is infinitely magnified.

In the trembling and trembling of a group of big ** people who didn't dare to come out, for half an hour, Wang Hou suddenly closed the roster in the army, and stood up, and a row of officers of the Taiyuan Wang clan also immediately stood solemnly and solemnly, waiting for Wang Hou's appointment, however, Wang Hou's next order was a surprise to everyone.

"Pass the order of the king of this mansion, the whole army will march towards the Yellow River at a high speed, and then run back here, this mansion will set up three sticks of incense here, and if you can't come back in time, kick out the Puyang army!"

At this moment, it simply made the county soldiers below blow up, and how many people buzzed and shouted in disbelief, but Wang Hou didn't care at all, and waved his face at another pro-soldier, who also didn't hesitate to bring the incense burner from behind, and then, the rumbling drum was suddenly blocked by the pro-soldiers.

And the fool was screaming there, the shrewd one had already turned around and started running, the three-way drum was finished, but all of them reacted, holding the big crotch of the pants and holding his tongue, baring his teeth and running out of the barracks, and lost more than a hundred shoes on the spot, Wang Hou once again covered his head speechlessly.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the entire Yellow River is flowing in the north of Puyang, and all the eastern counties are on the south bank of the Yellow River, but in the late Western Han Dynasty, the Yellow River was rerouted, and by Wang Hou's ancestor, the Eastern Han Dynasty hydraulic engineer Wang Yuan governance, today's river channel through Yanjin, Baima, next to Puyang south of the five miles or so to Shandong flow, Puyang City was isolated to the north bank of the Yellow River, the ancestor of the descendants of the pit also made Wang Hou sad must face Yuan Shao's army.

This pattern lasted until the Song Dynasty, when the three Zhao emperors who died artificially diverted the Yellow River three times, making the Yellow River 120 kilometers away from Puyang.

However, now, the Yellow River is only about five miles, and a round trip of five kilometers, three incense sticks for fifteen minutes is still more than enough.

However, Wang Hou still overestimated the quality of the soldiers in this era, and had no choice but to add an extra stick of incense, and the county soldiers who ran back on time were only more than 5,000.

The iron rice bowl is lost, can this person do it? The soldiers outside slapped the door panel of the barracks like zombies, and some people inside came back panting to resist.

But this time there was no need for Wang Hou's orders, Zhao Yun took action directly, and the guards of nearly 400 people drew their swords out of the sheath with a bang, and were neatly divided into two teams, one team inward, and one team outward.

Looking at the mess of more than 5,000 people, Wang Hou can be regarded as hugging his fists at the Wang officer who had been waiting for a long time.

"You and others followed Wang Hou to the north, this kindness Wang Hou remembers, but in the army, my military orders must be obeyed, otherwise they will be severely punished! Now you will draw lots for the chief and deputy military marquis, in groups of two or two, go down to select the soldiers of a song, and immediately form a roster, there must be no mistake! ”

agreed, and these family officers immediately tore a piece of paper into more than 20 pieces, drew lots, and then went down to pick up troops.

However, the nearest former military marquis who followed Wang Hou just now did not go to the lottery, but looked at the eliminated county soldiers who were still wandering outside with some worry, and hugged his fist at Wang Hou.

"Lord, those people are a hidden danger! If you can't be a soldier and eat food, you will either starve to death or become a thief in the mountains! Think twice! ”

Just to streamline the combat effectiveness, Wang Hou really forgot about it this time, and when he patted his head, he nodded helplessly.

"Prepare two more rosters, and you will go to command this elimination army for the monarch of this mansion, are you willing?"

"The last general obeys!"

It is said that the family gate valve is how, but the officials and generals of the family in this era are indeed capable, and this Wang Jinzhong almost immediately stroked his chest and saluted, and agreed.

This toss was tossed again until the evening, more than 5,100 people, a total of 11 pieces were recomposed, and four songs were one, that is, three parts.

Originally, the combat effectiveness was formed with the clan as a unit, and with such a toss, the combat effectiveness of the Puyang soldiers was actually weakened even more, but looking at the soldiers who were squatting on the ground and grabbing the dry food brought by Wang Hou and devouring them, Wang Hou was full of confidence and geared up.

"Puyang, it's stable!"
