The Dragoons and Guards were led by Zhao Yun and Xu Chu to the eastern part of the city, where the soldiers' houses were all wooden and stone structures, and there were tall guard towers next to the gate and at the corners, and the soldiers in the guard towers looked back and forth from time to time.

In the barracks, nearly 20,000 soldiers lined up neatly on the school grounds, and on the high platform in front of them, five law enforcement soldiers were standing with large swords, and in front of them were five shirtless soldiers, bound and kneeling on the ground.

Liu Lan came out of the crowd and loudly instructed the soldiers, saying: "These people molested women, they should be beheaded according to military law, and they will be executed in public today, I hope everyone will take this as a warning!" ”

Turning around, he shouted: "Execution"

"Poof!"

The big knife of the law enforcement soldier fell, and the seven heads fell to the ground immediately, and there was no sound in the field, and everyone gasped, after all, it was just a small responsibility to flirt with women, but they didn't expect to be sentenced to death, and they all understood that General Liu was going to take military discipline seriously.

Liu Lan had a serious face, with the expansion of the army, some problems were easy to ignore, and even some contradictions were covered up due to the situation, so he wanted to use this to stop this atmosphere, the atmosphere of military ruffians. Moreover, the phenomenon of officials bullying soldiers and soldiers bullying the people in the army forced him to deal with it.

But how to deal with it, he still has to study, and he can't make a decision now, so he can only take the military discipline of the soldiers seriously, and then introduce measures to purge his generals.

"Captain Pei!" Liu Lan looked back at Pei Yuanshao and said.

Pei Yuanshao hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down, and said, "The last general!" ”

Liu Lan looked at him without any expression: "Carry their corpses to the three armies for public display, if you dare to violate military discipline, take this as an example." Hang their heads at the gates of the city! ”

The law enforcement soldiers put the body on a stretcher and carried it to the public.

"The Last Will Do Duty"

Everyone behind him gasped. Such a punishment is too heavy, since it is shown to the three armies. Why hang at the city gates!

But none of the people dared to say anything to the murderous Liu Lan, after all, he was purging military discipline, and whether an army has combat strength or not, the first priority is military discipline, which is also the difference between bandits and army.

After a while, Liu Lan turned around and spoke earnestly to everyone, saying: "The three armies know that they love me like a son, and I love them like my parents." ”

Liu Lan came out of the school after leaving such a sentence, and he was thinking about officials and bullies all the way. How to solve the problem of soldiers bullying the people? And the most important point is that since there are officials bullying soldiers, will it happen that veterans bully new soldiers?

If the officers and men are not single-minded, how can this unit have combat effectiveness? If you don't eat defeat, isn't there a ghost? He looked back at Guan Yu and the others who were tailing behind him, and said, "What do you think about the serious question of senior and subordinate officers?" ”

Guan Yu looked at Liu Lan suspiciously and said, "Lord, what you just said is common everywhere in the world, why do you bother?" ”

"That's it, that's it."

Zhang Fei said disapprerovingly: "Isn't it just beating and scolding the soldiers, what's the big deal." Don't worry, nothing will happen. ”

Looking at Zhang Fei, who was not a big deal, Liu Lan's heart suddenly trembled, how could I forget that Third Brother Zhang is a person who loves to whip soldiers? And in history, the reason why Zhang Fei died was not because of the abuse of soldiers. If it weren't for Fan Jiang and Zhang Da who had no way back, how could they ...... His face was instantly gloomy, and he scolded: "Nothing will happen?" If something really happens. That's a big deal, don't you know that if you don't be kind, the three armies will not be close. If you are not brave, the three armies will not be sharp! ”

looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong has a good plan?" ”

Zhao Yun obviously didn't know how to solve this problem, and he was hesitant. Said: "Lord, I don't have any good plans. ”

"What about you, what about you, what about you?"

Liu Lan angrily looked at Zhen Yan, Zhang Jaw, and Xu Chu, and the three of them all avoided his sight, sighed in his heart, and could only stagger towards the mansion.

Back in the house, Liu Lan went straight to the bedroom, and at the same time said to everyone: "Don't bother me." Everyone looked at his back in the distance, you look at me, I look at you, they don't understand why the lord is so angry because of this matter, they laugh at each other, and then they say goodbye.

Liu Lan's room in Peixian is not big, there is no inner room, and you can see the whole picture as soon as you enter the door, so that the room looks more spacious, because there is nothing in the house except for a low table, a few kneeling pads, and a large bed and a very large landscape screen.

In such an empty room, the slightest louder it will be echoed. Liu Lan went directly to the bed, crossed Erlang's legs, but his eyes were looking at the beam in a daze, and he didn't know how long it took, maybe the crossed Erlang's legs were tired, maybe he was sleepy, but at the moment when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly exclaimed: "Yes." ”

Get up immediately, as if reminiscing, come to the desk table and sit cross-legged in front of it, the case is a few kiln cases, the case is a long strip on several sides, the two ends of the desktop are slightly wider and the two sides are slightly folded upward, the table top is symmetrical at both ends, the table legs are column-shaped, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and there is a horizontal bar between the other two table legs to make it connected.

One end of the desktop is close to the edge of the table to dispose of an inkstone made of swallow stone, the swallow stone has excellent texture, elegant color, the insect body on the stone resembles a flying swallow, like a relief, extremely chic, and there is an ink on the side of the inkstone; There is a pen on the inkstone, the pen is a Qi pen in the pen, Qi pen to Feng Ying sharp, fruitful and complete, neatly trimmed, soft and hard moderate, strong and powerful famous, with pointed, Qi, round, healthy four virtues.

Lifting up the pen, what was written on the silk paper, and from time to time using Arabic numerals to write some numbers on it, when everything was done, he stood up excitedly and said with a smile: "It's done." ”

Then he went out of the house and went straight to Xu Shu's room.

When Xu Shu saw him visiting, he bowed down and let Liu Lan into the house, and said in surprise: "I heard that the lord has been locking himself in the room since he came back, and he hasn't even eaten at night, but I don't know what is the matter so late?" ”

"Yuan Nao has heard about what happened today." Liu Lan saw Xu Shu nodding and said: "As the saying goes, if it is not broken, it will not stand, so I want to rectify the troops, and since the rectification must be carried out in an all-round way." ”

"Have you thought about it?"

Xu Shu nodded silently when he saw him. smiled: "The Art of War: Soldiers can't be played, but if you play, you are fearless; Soldiers cannot be abandoned. If it is abolished, it will be called, and the lord will rectify military discipline. The first thing to kill is to kill, now that people have been killed, then the next thing will be easy to do, after all, the lord's army is not deep, as long as the military discipline is strict, as for the all-round rectification, it is inevitable that some fuss will be made. ”

"This is not a big fuss, Yuan Zhi, over the years, I Liu Lan have rarely lost battles, thanks to what, thanks to the fact that I was in the mine to organize the army back then, not only the punishment of strict military discipline. The key is the reward for meritorious service, and it is precisely because of this that the soldiers understand that meritorious service in war can be promoted, not by seniority, let alone because of my Liu Lan's paper order, and because I have given the soldiers light in their eyes, there will be such an undefeated army in a hundred battles. Yuanzhi, you have been with me for so long, you should understand that now is different from the past. In the past, when the Han Dynasty recruited troops, it was to recruit generals first, and the generals would pick the troops, but now. Good veterans are here, do you need them? use, then you have to choose again. No, then the army will be selected. Which do you say is more expensive and time-consuming? It's definitely the latter, but the point is. If I put in the time and money to get results, then the reform will have an effect, but what if it doesn't? That's in vain, so these veterans can't be killed with a rod, so we must make good use of our foundation Our existing veterans, I gave them hope before, they have become an invincible army, and now I want to give them greater hope, so that they not only have light in their eyes, but also fear! So how can you make them afraid? It's not that you have to put up how many military orders you have and how many of them are 'unforgiving', but that you have to put yourself in their shoes to protect their interests. Also, the Liaodong Army, the Yellow Turban Army, their combat effectiveness is too weak, so they are mixed in the mine army to train together, the results are good, their combat effectiveness is improving, but the corresponding loose military discipline on their bodies has spread to the whole army, as well as since Zhang Fei to bully the soldiers, this must be changed, when the army appeared in such a situation, I established the Dragoon Army, these soldiers are almost all composed of officers such as Tun Chang and Qu Chang, Qu Chang, Qu Du, So in wartime, you will find that the cavalry governor of the dragoon army can become a captain, so such a cavalry governor is not only trained in the dragoon army, but also implemented in the whole army, this time I plan to reorganize the army, no matter what the bow and crossbow soldiers, sword and shield soldiers, and spearmen can no longer be divided according to the previous mountain, they must be selected from the whole army, and form an elite unit like the dragoon army, and set up the army Cao Tun or even the army Cao Qu and even the army Cao department, so that our future generals and governors can be independent!

Of course, this is not a wartime establishment, but a training establishment, for a year, in the first year, I think Yun Chang personally trained them, and it was the dragoon he captured at the beginning, which was quite effective.

"But so many Qu Commanders, Tun Chiefs, and Commanders are transferred at once, what should be done with the ordinary soldiers of these troops?"

"Downsizing, sending back to Liaodong, and even reducing all of them if necessary! We now have 20,000 troops, can we cut down 5,000 troops, and of these 5,000 people, 1,000 each will be sent back to Huangxian County and Liaodong, and the troops will be reduced by 2,000, and the remaining 1,000 will be reduced! ”

"Lay off a thousand?" Xu Shu was a little worried that this would definitely affect the interests of some people, and it would be detrimental to disarmament at that time.

"I know what you're worried about, I've already thought about it, just take the men and soldiers of each battalion as an example, you can all cut them down, and raise such a group of guys who do what you say you are doing? You say that once the fire head army is removed, at least 500 people will be vacated, as for cooking, you can let the soldiers take turns to do it, as for the saved men's salaries, they will still be distributed and distributed to the soldiers, you say that such a reform, the soldiers will not support it? ”

"Lord, I have to say, you ...... How did you come up with this? ”

"Don't forget, I, Liu Lan, climbed step by step from a pawn to today's position, I don't dare to say that I know 100% what the soldiers think, but I can also understand that eight or nine are not far from ten! If you want to lead a good soldier, it's nothing more than that, compare your heart with your heart, and treat them as people, so what you ask them to do, first of all, you have to do it yourself, you say that if our generals can eat and live with the soldiers, who else can they have half a complaint? ”

"Lord, do you want to?"

"Yes, everyone in his mother is crowded into the yamen wing of my county guard mansion and lives happily, who the fuck knows what the soldiers do every day? I have decided that from now on, when there is no war, those who have families below the rank of generals in an army must ensure that they live in the barracks for 10 days a month and live and eat with the soldiers of the troops, and the captains must live in the camp for 20 days, while the generals, captains, and commanders below the rank of military commanders must be in the camp every day. He looked at Xu Shu and said: "In this way, the officers and soldiers live in the same barracks, eat ordinary food together, and there is no unequal treatment, then the soldiers will return to their hearts." In this way, the officers and soldiers are regarded as children, and the soldiers regard the officers as siblings, and there is no unfair treatment between the upper and lower levels, and the upper and lower levels will return to their hearts, and the seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings must be affirmed again! Well, that's all there is to it for the whole army this time, and these matters should be implemented immediately. ”

"No!"

At this moment, I heard someone outside the house calling: "Master Xu, is the lord here for you?" ”

Hearing Zhen Yan's voice, Xu Shu opened the door and let him in, saying, "Here." ”

Looking at Zhen Yan's panting appearance, Liu Lan asked, "What's the matter with you, that you are so tired?" Drink a quick saliva. ”

"Lord, my sister has sent a letter, the letter says, the letter says ......"

I didn't know what to say for a while, so I hurriedly took out the letter and said, "Lord, you can see for yourself." The joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

Liu Lan thought that something big had happened in Huang County, but seeing Zhen Yan's excited and joyful look, it didn't seem like a bad thing, but a good thing, so he hurriedly took the letter and glanced at it, Huo stood up and said excitedly: "Jiang Er is pregnant?" ”

Happiness sometimes comes so quickly, but if it's just three minutes of heat, happiness goes just as quickly.

Just when Liu Lan just changed his role from a bachelor to a husband, and secretly decided to play this identity well, he learned that his identity had changed and he was about to become a father again, and he suddenly felt that the pressure on his shoulders was even heavier.

The change of identity came so quickly, it was definitely something he couldn't imagine, and it was something he didn't want to think about or dare to think, but there are some things, sometimes it is a happy thing in the eyes of others, but when it happens to him, it will make people feel that happiness comes too quickly.

Because of the role of his husband, he thinks that he has not played it well, but he has to face another identity: father, but he is unprepared for such an identity in his heart, and he is afraid that he will not be able to interpret this identity well.

Deep worries are buried in my heart, and what kind of thoughts are lingering in my heart? As if the Five Elements Mountain was no longer pressing on the walker, or he was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain instead of the walker, the heavy burden and deep pressure made him breathless immediately.

Is Liu Lan optimistic or pessimistic? Even he didn't know it, but he would properly adjust his mentality, although the inexplicable worry made his face gloomy, but it only disappeared in an instant.

Because he has to face reality and face reality.

Zhen Yan saw that Liu Lan was not as excited as he imagined, and his calm appearance seemed to be not so much looking forward to the upcoming arrival of 'Liu Baobao', but the next moment he found that Liu Lan's expression was firm, and his voice was unusually resolute: "It seems that some of you will be busy in the future." ‘

A letter made Liu Lan laugh and melancholy, and there was a talk to himself, which made Xu Shu confused, and even thought that the lord was not hysterical. Looking at Xu Shu's strange expression, Liu Lan was puzzled: "Yuanzhi, what's wrong with you?" ”

"What happened to my lord?"

"I'm going to be a father." Liu Lan was a little excited, and he couldn't wait to pave a way for 'him'. It can be said that as a young man in the new era, although he came to the end of the Han Dynasty, even if his thinking was different from anyone at this time, as the traditional Chinese 'father and mother', he was completely consistent with their thoughts at this moment.

Before the children are born and become adults, they are thinking about their future, and it can be said that they are arranging their future for their unborn children.

Parents have good intentions, we will not comment for the time being, but do not impose their will on their children, but Liu Lan, who is about to become a father, obviously does not think so, he thinks that only if he works harder and lays a broad road for 'him', is the best reward for the unborn child.

But Liu Lan is a little different from the parents of this era, that is, the problem of giving birth to a boy and a girl, in his heart he would prefer the first child to be a girl, they all say that the girl is rich, and the boy is poor, and he expects that he can cultivate a proud girl of the sky......
