Chapter 50: Recuperate
Liu Yi's trip to the party can be said to be a full return, successfully through Zhao Hai to marry Zhao Zhong, the head of the permanent servants, and even got the appointment of a Pingqiu County Lieutenant, and Xu Gang created the White Dragon Bright Silver Spear and the Zijiao Broken Wave Knife for the two brothers respectively, and the mood was naturally extremely comfortable. Because this trip to Luoyang was much earlier, he also made a special detour back to Yushan, and the wolves could still dominate the mountains and forests after he left, and he was also very affectionate to him, the wolf king.
Reliving the old life in the mountains, Liu Yi rushed to the town and Zhao Yun and others will be united and return to the party, he has sent a fast horse to inform his family when he left Luoyang, the news reached Liu's mansion, and the whole was extremely happy, especially Liu Yu, although he is only a county lieutenant, but Liu Yi is only eighteen years old now, and his future is limitless. Liu Yi did not stay at home for long, and after meeting Zhang Yang on the second day and being encouraged by him, he went to Pingqiu to take office.
Liu Yu is full support for this, has long prepared a lot of local information for his grandson, its details are far better than the official documents given by the imperial court, although Liu's mother is reluctant, but this is her son's business, naturally can not be delayed, Yu'er is pregnant, it must be more appropriate to take care of it at home, anyway, Pingqiu is a one-day journey from the party, and it is extremely convenient to go back and forth.
This Pingqiu County is already close to the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, the place is not small, a radius of dozens of miles, but it is vast and sparsely populated, according to the official documents of the imperial court, there are 3,000 local households, the population is about 10,000, and the people from all over the country report every three years, and the population has increased by more than 2,000 people in the information provided by the grandfather. Almost all of the local people are ordinary people, looking at the pity of the various taxes, they also know that the people live in poverty, not only that, the county is crisscrossed by mountains and forests, there are many bandits, and the previous county lieutenant actually only has Longshan Town, and the imperial court has crusaded several times and always returned due to the complex terrain.
This appointment is also the first time that Liu Yi has become an official in this life and later generations, although he has to study many laws and rules, but in later generations, he has more than 100,000 employees under his business group, and he can get started very quickly with the support of a small official. Liu Yi is still very interested in these local administrative matters, but his arrival has not brought any changes to this small county, everything is developing step by step, Pingqiu is just a springboard for him to step into the world, while gaining some experience in governing local administration, his biggest purpose is to maintain local stability.
Liu Yi, the five hundred private soldiers at home, brought it out this time, but he was not stationed in Longshan Town, which is a taboo thing, he has no army that can be mastered except for the government service, and he has to rely on the strength of the family to deal with the many bandits in the territory, of course, this is also a good opportunity for them to train the army, under Liu Yi's careful arrangement, he and Zhao Yun led these private soldiers to successfully set up a trap, which brought a heavy blow to the local bandits, making them shrink in the cottage, not daring to act rashly, with this, He won a good voice from the people.
After recruiting nearly 500 brave villagers to join the team in the name of clearing out bandits, Liu Yi chose to clean up the lair of these bandits, some time ago he has not launched for two reasons, one is that the newly recruited soldiers need to be trained, he clearly knows the time of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, before this, he must have a well-trained force in his hands, as Mr. Kong Ming said, soldiers are not trained, ten difficulties are one, practice and practice, one is a hundred! The second reason is to wait for Gan Ning's arrival, Xingba did not hesitate after receiving Liu Yi's fast horse transmission, his arrival not only added more than 200 brave men to Liu Yi, but also made a lot of money.
With Gan Ning's joining, the work of suppressing bandits has become extremely easy, the tricks of the bandits and bandits are Xingba, but the door is clear, less than three months, the largest forces in Pingqiu County have been wiped out, Gan Ning also selected soldiers to supplement the soldiers, after these battles, he and Zhao Yun have established a very high prestige in the army, of course, there are endless sources of money, those bandits are ruthless, and the tone is also extremely tight, but in front of Gan Ning and his brothers, none of them can hold on, Their methods will definitely make you regret why your parents gave birth to you! Liu Yi also specially gave the second brother the title of a family raider.
After clearing the bandits, Liu Yi gave a small part of the spoils to the people, which won him enough fame. After that, the focus was completely shifted to the training of the soldiers, in addition to formal training, Liu Yi carefully selected thirty people among the soldiers, hand-to-hand combat, tracking and hiding, inquiring about news, physical training, all the techniques are just to create a team that can become the eyes and ears of the army in the battle, in the war, especially in the cold weapon battle of this era, military intelligence is undoubtedly the key element of victory, as for the training method is the three brothers to figure it out together, Gan Ning's brothers can have a lot of capable people, They accounted for most of the thirty people, this team, Liu Yi called it "Tianer", and in addition to "Tianer", he also had a sharp weapon to investigate the military situation, Falcon Flying Feather! With it, Liu Yi is not afraid of sneak attacks and ambushes.
If an army wants to become elite soldiers, in addition to strict drills and actual combat tests, auxiliary work is also crucial, and the nearly 2,000 elite soldiers under his command were divided into four battalions by Liu Yi, named after the Qinglong White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, he did not hesitate to purchase perfect equipment for these soldiers, and many of these equipment were from the hands of Xu Gang's disciples of Bailian Mountain Villa! The second battalion of the Qinglong and White Tiger is an infantry battalion, and the standard weapon is a large knife and spear of a water, each of whom has a half-body armor during the war, and a long shield, and the second battalion is led by Gan Ning. The Xuanwu battalion is based on the bow and crossbow as the main weapon, everyone is equipped with a short knife for close combat, led by Liu Bao by the Liu family, the rest of the Vermilion Bird Battalion spent Liu Yi's greatest thoughts, just more than 700 war horses exhausted Liu Yi's savings to suppress bandits, of which three hundred are light cavalry, Zhao Yun is the most suitable candidate for the commander, and the remaining two hundred are heavy cavalry, everyone puts heavy armor all over the body, and the weapon is a thick-backed machete, and there is usually a horse used to carry armor, if the light cavalry can be defeated under the leadership of Zhao Yun, and travel thousands of miles, In Liu Yi's hands, these heavy cavalry draped in the whole body during the war were invincible weapons for charging into battle.
The meticulous work is not only these, every soldier must learn the techniques of battlefield self-rescue and simple bandaging, for this reason Liu Yi also specially invited Zhou Qin from the party to popularize basic first aid knowledge for the whole army, and each battalion has a medical officer, the life of veterans is the most important, they are the greatest guarantee of an army's combat effectiveness. In addition, after the daily practice, there will be invited gentlemen to teach the soldiers to learn words, in that era, literacy is very respected, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers in this point made Liu Yi a little shocked.
In order to build this elite army, Liu Yi invested the greatest energy and time, and he also shared weal and sorrow with the soldiers during the exercise, and those endless techniques and meticulous arrangements also made Gan Ning Zhao Yun more admired this big brother. Even Yu'er gave birth, Liu Yi only went back for three days, the birth of his son will undoubtedly make him more mature, and the right to name it was obtained by Liu Yu, for this great-grandson, the old man loves it somehow, Liu Huan, this is the name that Liu Yu thought of a few months ago, on the day his great-grandson was born, he pulled Liu Yi to talk at night, and almost had to plan Liu Huan's life before he was satisfied, which made Liu Yi speechless.
After accompanying his family and beloved son for two days, Liu Yi rushed back to Pingqiu, and a few months later, a long-awaited news came, and he knew that he could finally take the first step in his great journey!
