This kind of thing is actually very common, when you are fighting, you have a small team, you feel that you have no possibility of survival, you want to defect to a big warlord, you hope to follow the eldest brother to have meat to eat, then vote! Didn't Liu Bei also cast everywhere in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? And Liu Bang too, isn't it that others voted for him, he also voted for others!

As a result, Fan Liang soon got more than 5,000 people, Fan Liang was very happy, don't you think this person will be recruited? The land is there, the money is in place, the people are coming, and the next thing is to start working.

Fan Liang divided the more than 5,000 people into ten battalions, and ordered the battalion officers Ji Bu and Ma Ting, as well as Lao Liang Luonan, who was training in Tan County, Huzhou, to also come to Fan Liang and let them train these militiamen.

Because the money was in place, during the exercise, Fan Li dared to make a request: every day at five or three o'clock, the cannon was fired, and ten people were sent to patrol each battalion every night. It is not allowed to sleep lazy, and the battalion officers and junior officers must be present in person before dawn. Roll call once at noon, evening exercise at sunset, and roll call again before the second watch! This is a day's work and practice!

What is the concept of the five more and three points mentioned above? It's about 3:50 to 4:10 in the morning every day to get up and practice, may I ask normal people, who gets up at this point? Let's just say that I get up to study, and I get up to work.

Then, every three days, Fan Li would personally go to the training ground to supervise the drill and give lectures. In this way, the training ground was full of people, and every day there was dust and killings, and the local people were very strange, and everyone came to watch.

At the same time, when Fan Li's military training was in full swing and a thriving scene, during this period, Zhong Yuan sent a letter to Fan Li.

Because at this time, although the rebel army is still gathering men and horses, and the general offensive has not been launched, there are always frictional or tentative battles around the suburbs or surrounding areas of Wuzhou City, that is, today I will take hundreds of people to provoke you, and tomorrow you will bring hundreds of people to provoke me, anyway, some small and medium-sized battles will be carried out around Wuzhou City, and Zhong Yuan is the military commander in charge of this piece!

So Zhong Yuan said in the letter: I fought guerrilla warfare in the area around Wuzhou City, I felt very difficult, the Tiger Ben Army really couldn't support the wall, too lazy and too faced, and it was difficult to call! But the militia you gave me is very useful, the militia you trained is really good, and the small victory I won in which piece was the militia you gave me.

But it's easy to use, but there are too few people to continue to fight the rebels. Therefore, we can only continue to expand the militia, a few thousand more people, and you train these people into elite soldiers to supplement me, we are taking the right line, this path is right, and we will definitely be able to win against the rebels in the future.

After Fan Li read Zhong Yuan's letter, he felt that this was a particularly good start and was very encouraged, so he replied to Zhong Yuan and said: I am much better than before, because I used to be in that small and broken place in Huzhou, and there was no place to use it, and now I am training in Huizhou, and I am at my disposal in the vast world.

But now I have an idea, that is, I think I can't just rely on the usual theoretical exercises, and now that I have come here, I wonder if I can take the opportunity to combine the usual training with actual combat, so that our team pulled up by the common people can grow rapidly. Otherwise, although this group of people is well-trained in peacetime, if they have not been on the battlefield, if they start a big battle in the future, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand it.

So I want to pull out one or two battalions from the ten battalions that we've trained about the same, and go to fight with you, to train on the battlefield. Then let them go back to the furnace for further study, so that I have a lot of soldiers who have experienced actual combat, and these new militiamen I recruit in the future will let these veterans who have been on the battlefield help to train, so that I will be much easier to train!

Fan Li expressed such thoughts to Zhong Yuan in the letter, and for Zhong Yuan, he couldn't ask for it, I was originally nervous, since you think so, then hurry up and come over to help!

Well, under the condition that both sides are willing to do so, Fan Li selected from his ten battalions, and chose two battalions, the "Nan" battalion and the "Ling" battalion, one of the battalion officers of these two battalions is Lao Liang Ronan, and the other is Lin Ling!

Lao Liang Luo Nan said before that he was a native of Tan County, Huzhou, and was a good friend of Fan Li, who had been training in Tan County by himself, and when he heard that Fan Liang came to Wuzhou, he brought his own hundred people to defect to Fan Li, and Fan Liang let him lead a battalion, called the "South" word battalion.

And Lin Ling's situation is similar to that of Ronan, a native of Huai County, Huzhou, like Ronan, he recruited some people in his hometown to practice there, and he also came to Fan Li, and Fan Li also let him lead a battalion, called the "Ling" word camp!

After choosing these two battalions to come out, Fan Liang said: You guys, let me go to the frontline battlefield to follow General Zhong Yuan for a walk, to familiarize myself with what it means to fight!

As a result, Fan Liang let the two battalions go out and follow Zhong Yuan, and he almost didn't go lame. What's going on? It boils down mainly because the soldiers and generals are not compatible, and they can't save each other if they are defeated! Let's say the two of us go out to fight and say, "If you lose, I'll support you." I'm defeated, you come to support me! As a result, I asked people to clean up, and you didn't come to help, you said it was so infuriating!

This is a particularly serious problem, so what caused this result? Mainly because when recruiting brave people, a few people are recruited in this place and a few people are recruited in that place. These people's life backgrounds, customs, personalities, etc., are different from each other, so the soldiers are not very harmonious with each other, and they all have their own gangs or gangs! For example, if I am a soldier of this county and you are a soldier of that county, we will not be close to each other!

The second is that there will be no support with the future! There is disagreement among the battalion officers, there are different opinions, you want to do this, I want to do that. And then there are also unfair places in the process of assigning commands, and as a result, sometimes you do less work, and I do more, and I have complaints in my heart!

Therefore, when the "South" Battalion and the "Ling" Battalion worked together, it was originally said before, if the "South" battalion could not withstand it, your "Ling" battalion should come to help, but when the "Ling" battalion appeared, he did not appear! As a result, Ronan's "South" battalion suffered particularly heavy casualties.

After returning from the battle between the "Nan" battalion and the "Ling" character, Zhong Yuan brought such a letter to Fan Li, which explained what kind of situation was here. Now that he knows, Fan Li must deal with this problem, the key is how to deal with it!
