The three main brigades are all composed of veterans, but this can only be a temporary approach, and in the future, it will definitely be necessary to slowly increase the number of new recruits. These three brigades are the main force of the Huashan homeless people, so they have to pick one of them.

Just in terms of defending the city, six hundred people can be used in turn, and then use new recruits as reserves, then, a small Huayin City should not be a problem. Even Li Xinxin thought of some bigger things, and he also had some hope, of course, it depended on Zhou Tong's situation when they went to recruit troops.

The advantage of veterans is that they have already experienced the baptism of war, so with a little training, they can quickly become an army. Although the number of people is a little less, after all, this is the era of cold weapons, and numerical superiority is sometimes very important. But for Li Xin, a small but lean and strict force is the most realistic at this time.

"In addition to the combat troops, the logistical baggage should also be prepared, even if there is only one shelf, this thing will be much easier. There is also the problem of military doctors, there should be no special military doctors at this time! Find a few more and form a special ambulance team! Otherwise, if you start a war, you won't be able to deal with it with a single doctor! And also......! In the side hall, Li Xin bit the pen and racked his brains to put together the little idea in his heart into a reasonable and rigorous system.

The recruitment process went quite smoothly, especially for those outside the city, who were much more active than those in the city. The reason for this result actually lies in the villagers of Huashan themselves, because when they first entered the city, the villagers disturbed the people everywhere, so the people in the city did not treat Li Xin and them very well.

If it weren't for the urgent measures taken later, all the looted things were returned to the people one by one, and Li Xin and the leaders came to apologize, let alone recruiting troops now, when the enemy soldiers attacked the city, it would be strange for these people to rise up and cooperate with the outside.

No matter what era people are, eating is the most important thing, especially for people in this era, there are people who can eat well, but definitely not those ordinary people. Although the harvest time has just passed, there are not many people with surplus food at home, so as soon as I heard that those people are in charge of food and shelter, where are those people in charge of so much, they all came to Hula.

Zhou Tong and the others selected about 1,500 people from these people, plus more than 400 people recruited from the city, just about 2,000 people. Counting the original Huashan villagers, it seems that in terms of quantity alone, at least it is not bad with the Tongguan defenders, and even a lot more.

"Big brother, you haven't seen that scene! When we went to the village, we didn't talk much, only said that we would recruit people to be soldiers, take care of food and housing, and as a result, the whole village people came! We've made a good selection, you see we're doing a good job! After returning to the city on the third day, Zhou Tong found Li Xin in a hurry, feeling a little invited.

"I remember there weren't many villages out there, right? How did you recruit so many people? You're not going to go far away, are you? Seeing so many people coming at once, Li Xin was surprised.

"We didn't think about it at first, but we didn't know until later that because Guanzhong has been chaotic recently, there are a lot of displaced people in the village at the foot of Huashan." Wu Heng said with a smile on the side.

Li Xin looked at the group of people standing crookedly in front of him, basically they were all in rags, with vegetables on their faces, and many of them were so thin that they didn't look good. Although it is said that it has been selected, if Li Xin is allowed to choose as much as he wants, he is afraid that less than half of the candidates who can meet the criteria in his heart. But these were extraordinary times, and he couldn't ask for more.

And the people in the city on the other side, although they seem to be relatively better, are actually not much better. Standing in front of such a group of people, Li Xin has an intuitive understanding of this era, they are poorer and more miserable than the villagers in the mountains, it can be seen that under the rule of Fu Qin, the exploitation is not light!

"I won't talk about nonsense and big truths, since you are willing to come and be a soldier, then you have to obey orders. As long as you are my soldiers for a day, then I will take care of you for a day and keep you fed and clothed! But there are some things I have to make clear first, being a soldier is very hard, and anyone who does not obey orders will be severely punished. So, now you can choose again, who doesn't want to stay and suffer, can just leave, and we won't stop you. But once you opt-in, it's hard to quit! Walking slowly in front of these people, Li Xin said.

Hearing this, there was a commotion in the crowd, I am afraid, this was something they had not thought of before they came. After all, some people want to have something to eat, but they don't want to be offended, and then they realize that they are thinking too beautifully. Some people thought about it and finally decided to quit, but there were not many of them, and the total number of them was less than thirty.

For Li Xin, these people are here to fight their autumn breeze, and they want to eat and drink for nothing here, so how is it possible. Therefore, he waved his hand and drove these people away, and then said to the rest of the people: "Since you all choose to stay, then from today on, you will be our soldiers, this is General Zhou, you go down to eat with him first!" Once you've had enough, let's start training! ”

After saying this, Li Xin asked Zhou Tong beside him to come over and whispered a few words. I saw the expression on Zhou Tong's face change, and finally showed a hint of joy, didn't say anything, turned around and walked behind the county government with those people.

"The first step in the long march! Now that it's officially kicked off, then you have to be busy for a while! Watching these people leave, Li Xin let out a sigh of relief and said secretly.

After dealing with this matter, he turned around and returned to the county office, thought about it, and called Tu Qi over. Since he found out that this kid has a very flexible brain, Li Xin let him stay by his side to do things, after all, judging from his current situation, it is really inconvenient to have no errands around him.

"What about those enemies in Tongguan? Did you mean to call? After the last battle, Li Xin asked Tu Qi to send people to monitor the defenders in the direction of Tongguan day and night, after all, it was the closest place and the biggest threat to Huayin City.

"No, since they opened the official road and knew that the last group of people were all wiped out, there has been no movement. I have sent someone to keep an eye on them, and once the other party makes any moves, they will definitely come back and report it as soon as possible! Tu Qi hurriedly said.

"Well done! This time, I am going to let you lead a team as well, what do you think? Nodding, Li Xin was very satisfied, glanced at the young man in front of him, and said.

"Leading the troops into battle? I'm afraid I can't do it well! I'm still willing to stay with you and do things at your command! When Tu Qi heard this, he quickly shook his head and said.

Looking at him, he seemed a little frightened, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to take on this great responsibility. When Li Xin saw his appearance, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What's wrong with this, I have also seen your ability during this time." Moreover, this time you are asked to lead the troops, not to let you fight in front like us, but there are some special tasks entrusted to you to do, understand? ”

"Special assignment?" Tu Qi said with some doubts.

"Yes, I'm going to form a scout team, and I'm going to prepare fifty people at the beginning, and you will lead it. What you have to do is very simple, that is, be in charge of finding out the news and monitoring the movements of the enemy army. For the time being, I only need to be in charge of the surroundings of Huayin City, this is a very important matter, and I have to let someone who can trust and have the ability to do it. Your role is like our eyes, and your message will provide the basis for our next plans and actions. Ordinary people can't afford this burden, but I'm sure you can do it well! Nodding, Li Xin explained to him.

To put it bluntly, this is a small improvised special forces, although under the current circumstances, Li Xin has taken too many steps to engage in this thing. But in this day and age, I am afraid that no one understands the importance of information better than him. Fifty people is not much, but it is a foundation, and if it really has a firm foothold, this is the team that will expand its scale.

Tu Qi is a smart person, and when he heard this at this time, he immediately understood the meaning, and also understood that this was Li Xin's incomparable trust in him. After all, it is impossible for ordinary people to sit in such an important position. Thinking of this, Tu Qi couldn't help but be full of gratitude and excitement, he didn't expect that Li Xin hadn't been with him for long, and he would be able to trust himself like this. Suddenly, a feeling of death for a confidant arose.

"Brother Li, don't worry, since the eldest brother trusts me, then I will do my best to handle this matter, and I will not disappoint the eldest brother!" Tu Qi bowed to Li Xin and made up his mind that he must work hard to do this errand well.

"Well, you understand! Your squad, I'm going to put it in the baggage squad, so that too many people don't know who you are. In that case, it will be much easier for you to get things done. Let's go down and get ready! Li Xin patted him on the shoulder, and then said.

Tu Qi didn't say anything more, and after giving him a resolute look, he turned around and went out directly. Li Xin returned to the back of the desk, took out a piece of paper, lightly sketched it with a pen, and after looking at it, he asked people to call Wu Heng and Li Erhei over.
