Stimulated by Yao Jie's prestige and high welfare, the recruitment work was finally in full swing.

After leaving the prisoner camp, Yao Jie thought: "The population of Youzhou during this period is too small, if Liu Yu hadn't actively absorbed the displaced people before, I'm afraid it would have been even less." ”

Yao Jie had learned about the population of each county in Youzhou before, among which Zhuo County had the most, with 630,000, followed by 280,000 in Guangyang, 120,000 in Daijun, 510,000 in Shanggu, 430,000 in Yuyang, 80,000 in Liaoxi, 80,000 in Liaodong, 43,000 in Xuansu, 250,000 in Lelang, and only 50,000 in Youbeiping.

This person Yao Jie looked embarrassed, it was considered a poor soldier to recruit 5,000 people there, and finally Yao Jie was going to go to Liu Yu again to ask for assistance, as for he had just found Liu Yu, how could he be embarrassed to trouble people again, Yao Jie said What is the use of his face, can he eat it?

Jicheng, the state pastor's office, "No, absolutely not, this official has made an exception by allowing you to recruit troops here." Liu Yu learned that Yao Jie wanted to take all these captives away and enrich the population of Youbeiping County, so he shook his head again and again.

Although these tens of thousands of people are better than nothing, it is better than nothing.

"Lord Zhou Mu, the last general will lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Youbeiping this time, with the local population can not even solve the problem of grain and grass, and Youbeiping not only has to guard against the Wuhuan people in the north, Goguryeo in the east has occupied the two counties of Lelang and Xuansu, Liaodong and Liaoxi are occupied by the Wuhuan people, I heard that they are also preparing to invade Youbeiping, and the Goguryeo and Wuhuan people will be a big trouble in the future, so the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses will not be enough at all." Yao Jie said urgently.

Liu Yu was also silent after hearing this, Yao Jie was right, there are enemies in almost all directions of Youbeiping, not to mention anything else, even the Wuhuan people can easily gather tens of thousands of cavalry, and Goguryeo to the east can mobilize at least 50,000 troops, in fact, this is still Liu Yu underestimated Goguryeo, and now Goguryeo can take out more than 100,000 horses by gritting his teeth.

"Lord Governor, these captives have rebelled, and they should be beheaded according to the law, although you let them go because of your kindness, but it is inevitable that some people will spread rumors, and now these people can just use them to the border." Yao Jie saw that Liu Yu was still hesitating, and continued.

"Okay, you can take these people away, and in addition, this official will transfer 10,000 people from the Youzhou army to suppress the rebellion to you, but you will not only have to deal with the Wuhuan people in the future, but also have to find a way to subdue the lost land to the east, as for the grain and grass, even if you add these populations, you are not enough, this official will help you solve it." Liu Yu finally made up his mind.

"The last will obey." Yao Jie's heart has blossomed, Liu Yu's order not only increased his population by tens of thousands and 10,000 veterans, but also gave him a reason to expand eastward, anyway, he didn't plan to let go of the Goguryeo people, Liaodong, Liaoxi, Xuansu, and Lelang add up to 350,000 people, and there is absolutely no problem in recruiting 30,000 people, as for the west, that is Yuyang and Guangyang, Jicheng is in Guangyang, Yuyang is not far from Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, and the westward expansion is too ugly.

In the military camp, after three days of recruitment, there are now 18,000 recruits under Yao Jie alone, plus the 10,000 given by Liu Yu, it is close to 30,000 troops, but there must be a problem with combat effectiveness.

Not only do recruits need to be trained, but it also takes time for the troops to run in, but Yao Jie can't continue to stay in Jicheng, so Yao Jie is ready to let the battalions run in for three days before leaving immediately.

In the camp of the Chinese army, Yao Jie looked at the generals below and said: "You have the tun commander who has followed the general since Luoyang, and there are also newcomers who have been promoted by virtue of military merits before, as well as the generals under Liu Youzhou before, this time the general called you here for the training of recruits." ”

"The physical fitness of these recruits is passable, but it is not enough, we must continue to train, and the most important thing is discipline, a loose military discipline is no different from the rabble, from ancient times to the present, which strong army does not have strict military discipline, experienced cruel training, think about the Wei Wushu who swept the Warring States back then, and the stronger Qin Zhirui later, and more recently, the Han Iron Cavalry led by Huo Hussar, if you want to become these strong troops, you must train hard, train more sweat, and shed less blood in wartime, in order to supplement nutrition for the soldiers, Ben will decide to eat meat every two days, and the specific Ben will be solved, as well as some of Ben's rules for his subordinates, many people who have just joined may not understand, and Ben will say it again here. ”

"First, it is not allowed to bully and rob the people, and those who violate the order will be beheaded, second, resolutely implement the orders of the superiors, no matter whether they are right or wrong, they only need to be strictly implemented, and they must not be questioned, and if there is a problem, they will be dealt with afterwards, and third, everything seized will be returned to the public ......" Yao Jie once again perfected the military regulations, anyway, he took out the military regulations of later generations and revised them to be more suitable for this era.

The next morning, those recruits who had just passed the selection tasted the high benefits they needed to pay, and the intensity of the three days of training was much lower than that of normal training.

At the same time, Yao Jie did not forget the more than 100 soldiers who died in the previous battle, he didn't care about the affairs of the Youzhou Army, and he didn't have the ability to manage it, but he still had the ability to do so with the soldiers in his headquarters.

Yao Jie inquired about the information of these people, and ordered a few cronies to give the pension to their relatives, each of whom has a hardware pension, enough for their relatives to live well for ten years, this can be regarded as the first batch of soldiers under Yao Jie's favor, and the pension in the future will be strictly stipulated by a reasonable amount.

But I don't know what's going on, this matter has spread to the barracks, and those soldiers who have been complaining about it have trained harder one by one, and in this era when soldiers have no military pay, no pensions, and only reduce taxes and conscription, this treatment is undoubtedly very cherished.

After all, the modern army uses hot weapons, so Yao Jie only introduced queue training and some physical training, and the rest is still trained according to the cold weapon army, this problem is solved by Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, to know that this is a general who can be compared to Bai Qi and Han Xin, a top commander like him, who has fought in all directions in his life, and has made great achievements, destroying Xiao Liang, breaking the auxiliary Gongyou, pacifying Jiangnan, defeating the Eastern Turks, pacifying Tuyuhun, painting Lingyan Pavilion, ranking eighth, deserving of Wucheng Wang Temple, ranking ten philosophers, This is also the reason why Yao Jie chose to fuse him in the first place.
