Peng Tuo can sleep soundly, but Xu Kang cannot.

There are more than 60,000 Yellow Turban troops in the camp, and although these people have surrendered, they are still an unstable factor, and once the situation changes, they may immediately become Yellow Turban thieves again.

And Xu Kang's total strength is only 4,000 people, and there is no way to absorb all of his fifteen times the Yellow Turban Army in a short period of time, and even if he can barely absorb it, equipping weapons is also a big problem.

It's impossible for them to go to the battlefield with hoes, nails, rakes and battles like before, right?

Moreover, among the more than 60,000 yellow scarves, there are still many old and weak women and children, and even if such people go to the battlefield, they will only become cannon fodder, and they are of no great use.

So Xu Kang gave an order about the selection of soldiers - as long as the strong man between the ages of sixteen and thirty-five!

As soon as this order was given, ninety percent of the people were eliminated at once, and only more than 6,000 people remained.

And this number also happens to be the largest number that the troops can quickly absorb at present.

In order to facilitate the management of these people, Xu Kang organized them into an independent corps and named it "Huaihe Soldiers" to commemorate the bloody battle of Huaihe on the night before.

The Huaihe soldiers who had completed the adaptation put on armor, got halberds, and turned into Han infantry.

In order to appease them, Xu Kang also gave one to each of them when he distributed magic bread to the cavalry regiment and the artillery regiment as a sign of equality.

As for the old and weak women and children who were screened out, Xu Kang asked the soldiers to make porridge and distribute it to them, which made their uneasy mood become much more stable.

By the time everything was more or less in order, it was slowly getting brighter.

Although Xu Kang wanted to rush to Changshe immediately, he also knew that both his own troops and the Yellow Turban Army that had just been accepted needed to rest and reorganize.

So he called Zhao Hong, Zhang Cheng, and Niu Sheng, the generals of the army, to his side, and then ordered them.

"Pass the order, rest for a day today, the soldiers can move freely, they can leave the camp if they want, they can stay in the camp to rest, but they are not allowed to make trouble!"

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly added.

"By the way, no one is allowed to disturb the women and children in the camp, since they have surrendered, I will regard them as the people under my rule, and anyone who dares to bully them will be killed!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, the generals hurriedly responded with a serious face.

Seeing this scene, Xu Kang nodded, and then waved his hand at them, "Okay, Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng stay, and the others go to give orders, go back and take a bath when you're done, they stink to death one by one, hurry up!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

The generals were used to getting along with Xu Kang, so after hearing his words, they immediately laughed, and then went out with their shoulders hooked.

After they all went out, Zhang Cheng smiled and arched his hand to Xu Kang: "My lord left the two of us, is there anything special for us to do!" ”

"Haha, that's right!"

Seeing that Zhang Cheng guessed his intentions, Xu Kang suddenly laughed, and while laughing, he took out the paper he had written yesterday and handed it to them.

"As the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, this is the military rule I set last night after thinking about it all night, you two take a look, what questions can be raised!"

"Mil-spec?"

Hearing Xu Kang's words, Zhang Cheng and Zhao Hong immediately took the paper in his hand, and then curiously glanced at the contents inside.

"Three disciplines and eight attentions?"

Looking at the contents inside, the eyes of the two suddenly became brighter and brighter, and finally they saluted Xu Kang with a fist in their hearts.

"My lord, this military regulation is very good, with this sharp weapon, our army will definitely be strong!"

"That's right, the last general thinks that he should immediately post the various departments and read them out, so that all the soldiers can memorize them!"

Xu Kang originally thought so, so now after hearing the words of the two, he smiled and nodded again.

"Well, since you think it's okay, let's do it, just take advantage of today's rest, and make sure everyone knows!"

"Yes!"

Hearing his words, Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng immediately agreed, and then withdrew from his camp tent with this military regulation, went back to find someone to copy hundreds of copies, and read them out in various departments of the military camp.

"Lord Xu promulgated the new military regulations, three disciplines and eight points of attention, everyone must be familiar with it, if there is a violation, it will not be punished!"

"The first of the three major disciplines is to obey the command in all actions, the second is not to take a stitch from the masses, and the third is that all seizures must be returned to the public."

"Eight points of attention, one: speak kindly, two: buy and sell fairly, three: borrow things to pay back, four: compensate for damaged things, five: do not beat and scold people, six: do not damage crops, seven: do not molest women, eighth: do not abuse prisoners!"

"Read it again, everyone pay attention to it, and pay attention to the three disciplines and eight points ......"

The soldier in charge of reciting it repeated it over and over again, four or five times before leaving, and after an hour or two, he ran back and recited it again.

No way, most people can't read, they can't read.

Moreover, even those soldiers who were responsible for reading military regulations were almost illiterate, and Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng read them to them first, and then let them memorize them by rote.

Fortunately, there is not much content in the first place, and the vernacular is also easy to remember, and when it is time in the afternoon, not to mention the soldiers, even the old and weak women and children in the camp can remember.

It is precisely because of the appearance of this military regulation that many women and children feel a lot more at ease, and there is some laughter in the camp.

Some of the women sang while doing their laundry.

"I have thorns, Cen Jun cut it, I have a thief, Cen Jun curbed it, the dog barked and was not surprised, the feet were angry, the belly was fed, and I knew the disaster, I like me to be born, when I was alone, the beauty of Cen Jun, in the drama Xiuzi ......"

They sang there, and Xu Kang stood aside and listened, although he couldn't understand many of them, but he knew that they were singing the praises of a person named "Cen Jun".

So when he heard the end, Xu Kang couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, an official just did his own thing, and was actually made up into a song and praised by the people, this is really a world of dog food......"

When he said this, he also secretly made a decision, as long as he was able, then as an official, he must benefit one party.

Not for fame or profit, only for the toiling people of this world, only for those siblings who followed him to fight thousands of miles behind him and shed their blood!

Thinking of this, Xu Kang only felt a burst of blood surging into his heart, and he couldn't help but sing his favorite song - "Loyal to the Country"!

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rises and rolls the horse, the sword is like frost, the heart is like the Yellow River, who can fight in 20 years!"

"Hatred is crazy, the long knife is going, how many siblings are loyal to their souls buried in other places, what a pity to die to repay their family and country, endure sighs and regrets, and are speechless with blood and tears......"

With his singing, the soldiers who had been sitting on the ground stood up one by one.

They looked at Xu Kang blankly, and there were faint tears flashing in their eyes.

The night is near.
