Soon after returning to Shuibo Liangshan, Li Yan ordered: All units of the Liangshan Army returned to Liangshanbo Dazhai for training battalion by battalion.

In the process of training, Li Yan personally awarded awards and badges to the soldiers who performed well - not only their performance during training, but also their usual performance, as well as their historical exploits.

At the same time, the Political Department examines the political outlook of these well-behaved soldiers.

After both passed, there would be special people to talk to them about their wishes - if they wanted, they could enter Li Yan's personal guards, and if they didn't, they would return to their original unit, and they would not be forced.

The pro-guard army has always been the fastest place to be promoted in the Liangshan army, like Li Yan's earliest pro-guard, many of them have now achieved the position of command, and the almost ones are basically officers such as the main and deputy generals, so those who originally intended to come to the pro-guard army must be promoted faster in the future than in other troops.

Those who are unwilling to come to the pro-guard army to serve Li Yan as a pro-guard will be marked on their resumes, and it will be slightly more difficult to be promoted than others.

Some people may want to say, why is Li Yan so domineering, unwilling to serve him, he will block other people's promotion path?

I'm sorry, this has to be so overbearing.

Li Yan must give more opportunities to those soldiers who are willing to support him and protect him with their lives, so that the army will get closer to him.

As for those who are unwilling to support themselves and defend themselves with their lives, no matter what their reason is, in short, they did not choose themselves, which means that they are not the most important in their hearts, and their future is not the most important in their hearts, so there is no need to give them a chance.

In addition, doing so can also prevent his generals from becoming bigger to a certain extent.

In short, after screening, Li Yan screened out 2,000 horse troops and 10,000 infantry troops.

These are Li Yanxin's pro-guard troops.

As for Li Yan's original pro-guard army, Li Yan selected two battalions of the most loyal and military skills to stay, one battalion to serve as officers of the new pro-guard horse army, one battalion to serve as officers of the new pro-guard infantry army, and the rest were all delegated to the newly formed army as officers.

At the same time, Li Yan named his own guards for the first time - Zhuxian Army.

Li Yan himself is not capable of commanding so many troops.

Therefore –

Li Yan appointed Xu Guanzhong and Hu Yanzhuo, who had no way out to join Li Yan, as the chief of staff and chief instructor of the Zhuxian Army, responsible for the formation and general training of this army.

Yuan Zhongliang was appointed as the commander of the 10,000 infantry army with the Zhuxian army.

Zan Tongmei was appointed as the commander of the 5,000-foot army with the Zhuxian army, which was under the control of Yuan Zhongliang.

Yu Cheng was appointed as the commander of the 5,000-foot army with the Zhuxian army, under the control of Yuan Zhongliang.

Chen Liqing, Hu Sanniang, Fang Baihua, and Qiong Ying were appointed as commanders of each battalion of horse troops.

The remaining battalion of horse troops is Tiefutu, and Li Yan has not yet found a suitable general.

In addition, Li Yan selected five hundred of the best cavalry from all the horse armies in Liangshan (including those reserves, including the old and new guards), and selected one thousand of the best horses from all the horses owned by Liangshan, and formed a battalion of the most elite cavalry, which was named "God Killing Battalion", which was led by Yang Zaixing.

In other words, the Zhuxian army had a total of 3,000 horse troops.

Ruan Xiaoqi, Ma Ling, Wang Dingliu, Jiao Ting, Bian Jiang, Chen Liqing, Hu Sanniang, Fang Baihua, and Qiong Ying are still Li Yan's personal guards, but because of their talent and age, Ruan Xiaoqi and the five of them are more of Li Yan's 100 personal guards.

By the way, Yuan Zhongliang learned that Li Yan asked him to lead the most elite infantry in the Liangshan army, and he was grateful and swore to sell his life to Li Yan.

This is also the reason why Li Yan uses Yuan Zhongliang, Zan Tongmei, and Yu Cheng, as for their command ability, it is secondary, because the real command of the Zhuxian Army is not them, but Liang Hongyu, Fang Baihua, Xu Guanzhong and Li Yan, they are only responsible for obeying orders.

As for the vacancies created by the formation of the Zhuxian Army, Li Yan made an exception and allowed the commanders of each army to go to the reserve to select excellent soldiers to supplement them - Li Yan did this. First, it is to appease the commanders of the armies, you must know that those who were picked out by Li Yan are all the elites of the armies, and all of them are the elites of the commanders of the armies who have worked hard to cultivate, and they must be painful. Second, it is to reduce the combat effectiveness of each army, after all, after drawing out the elite of each army, all armies will have to suffer a great loss of vitality.

At the same time as forming the Zhuxian Army, Li Yan built several new armies, and at the same time made some adjustments to some officers, and changed the stations of individual armies.

Let's start with the formation.

Formation: Ma 6th Army, Ma 7th Army, Infantry 16th Army, Infantry 17th Army, Infantry 18th Army.

Ma Qijun, the commander Wang Yin, the deputy commander Shangguanyi and Wen Zhongrong, with a battalion of the original Li Yan's personal guards and the elite of Hui Yanfeng (the people who returned to Yanfeng entered the Liangshan reserve system as a whole and went through Song Wan's training, and then screened by Wang Yin, Tang Bin, and Wen Zhongrong, and finally passed the assessment of the Liangshan Political Department to select the elite. ) is the backbone, and the non-commissioned officers are selected from the reserves and well-reformed prisoners.

It was formed with Li Yan's two personal guards and one battalion of the three infantry armies as the skeleton.

As for Sun An's vacant position, Tang Bin replaced him, Qiu Yue, Hu Chun, and Zhou Ang's vacant positions were replaced by Yu Deyuan, Sang Ying, and Hu Yanzhuo respectively (Hu Yanzhuo is Hu Yanzhuo's cousin, Yan'an Lian was born as an envoy, and also made double whips, and his martial arts ability to command troops is good, he killed Shangguan because of Shangguan's troubles, and then died in the rivers and lakes, and later found Hu Yanzhuo, and then persuaded Hu Yanzhuo to join Li Yan. ）。
