At the time of his death, Yuan Xi was watching the training of the recruits in the large camp of the Iron Guard Battalion, and saw that on the huge school field, thousands of soldiers wearing armor were holding swords and spears and constantly waving vigorously, the movements were quite simple, but it was just a split and stab, but that's it, and there were also captains and chiefs around from time to time roaring loudly, obviously dissatisfied with their strength and angle.

"What are you doing, haven't you eaten? Give me momentum," shouted a military marquis with extreme dissatisfaction.

On the high platform, Yuan Xi sat on the main seat, Jiao Touch, Yuan Ping, Hu Niu'er, and Gao Ran stood on both sides, looking at the situation in front of him, Yuan Xi frowned slightly, although the recruitment speed was very fast, and more than 1,300 people had been recruited in two days, but these people used to be farmers or blacksmiths, and they were seriously lacking in training, not only compared to the ruthlessness of the veterans, but the momentum alone was not the same, if they were allowed to go to the battlefield now, there would be only one result, and they would be completely slaughtered.

After the group returned to the tent, Yuan Xi asked Gao Ran, whose loyalty value had reached 76, "Jingzhi! What do you think? ”

Gao Ran smiled bitterly, in the past few days, not only Yuan Xi is trying his best to win him over, Jiao Touch is even more likely to run to find him every once in a while, his face is extremely thick, especially when he greets him, he has pulled all the high-level officials of the Iron Guard Battalion over, he must personally help him on the horse, he is not a stupid person, although Jiao Touch is still a captain, but he is Yuan Xi's close minister, after going to Youzhou in the future, the official position may surpass him anytime and anywhere, the other party is so respectful, the intention is already obvious, Originally, although he had a good impression of Yuan Xi, but it had not yet reached the level of submission, but Jiao Touch's attention did make him feel a sense of importance that he hadn't paid attention to for a long time, after all, under Yuan Shao's command, although his official position was not low, but in Yuan Shao's heart, he was far inferior to Yan Liangwen and Chou, the two peerless generals, and even Chun Yuqiong couldn't compare, especially last time, Yuan Shao judged that he framed Yan Liang without a detailed investigation, and he couldn't help but have some complaints and dissatisfaction in his heart.

If the above just makes him excited, then after coming to the Iron Guard Camp, Gao Ran really saw Yuan Xi extraordinary, the so-called mediocre second son, finally showed his minions in front of him, he is a general of a hundred battles, and naturally can find that although there are few soldiers and horses here, it does have an extremely strict military prestige and a positive fighting spirit, this military prestige, this kind of fighting spirit is rarely seen even in Yuan Shao's army, which can only be brought by the Lord's huge requirements for his soldiers and a strict management system, And especially the appearance of the military department shocked him even more, once this strange department plays a huge role, it will inevitably greatly increase the loyalty and combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

Coupled with Yuan Xi's help and love for him, Gao Lan's heart has gradually moved closer to Yuan Xi.

Hearing Yuan Xi's question at this time, Gao Ran's eyes froze, and he respectfully hugged his fists and said: "Yu Gongzi, although the training of recruits is not enough, but the foundation is still there, let the veterans bring more recruits, occasionally go out hunting, sharpen the blade, there are still four months before the son goes to Youzhou, and the last general thinks that it is completely enough."

Yuan Xi immediately laughed happily when he saw the loyalty value of Dao 85 at that moment, knowing that Gao Ran had finally returned to his heart.

"Haha, okay, Jingzhi is worthy of being a good general of wisdom and bravery, I am relieved to have your words"

"Gongzi Xie" After Gao Ran finished speaking, he continued with a solemn face: "Gongzi, the last general is currently guarding Wei County, with a total of 23,100 soldiers and horses under his command, and the last general asks Gongzi to send some military personnel over to teach them well."

Hearing this, Jiao Zhi's pupils shrank, and a smile instantly appeared on Yuan Ping's face, Gao Ran was making a name for himself, and the military commanders were all brainwashed one by one, and they were absolutely loyal to Yuan Xi's people, and they went to teach, which means that Gao Ran had already planned to hand over all his soldiers and horses to Yuan Xi.

A trace of excitement also flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes, he slowly stood up, and said with a proud face: "Jingzhi, Xi really didn't mistake you, don't worry, what you pay today, he will pay back ten times as much, you give me 20,000 today, and he will pay you back 200,000 troops in Rixi."

At this moment, he could not be humble, not only because of the 23,000 troops, but also because he was located in Wei County, which was close to the Yellow River and adjacent to Yanzhou, which might play a crucial role in the future Battle of Guandu.

A trace of emotion suddenly appeared in Gao Ran's eyes, and he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you to the last general."

"Haha, General Gao, Touch has been waiting for this day, from today on, you are the first general under the lord's command, whoever dares to have one, I will cut him down with Jiao Touch" Jiao Touch said excitedly, without the slightest jealousy on his face, he will always remember Yuan Xi's words in his heart, he must be superior to others and the means of unity and cohesion.

However, hearing this, Gao Ran was not only not happy, but hurriedly retreated: "Captain Jiao, you are chilling me, no matter when, you are the first general of the son, your character and mind are really admired by Ran."

"Haha, the two generals don't have to be humble, you are all unparalleled generals under the command of the second brother," Yuan Pingzhan came out and praised.

"What about me?" Hearing this, Hu Niu'er became a little dissatisfied

Seeing this scene, Gao Ran and Jiao Touch immediately looked at each other and smiled, Yuan Ping shook his head helplessly, "Captain Hu is naturally the peerless general of the lord, he will fight the enemy every day, and he will inevitably win countless victories."

Hu Niu'er suddenly showed a happy expression, raised his head arrogantly, and said loudly: "That's, except for Gongzi, who can take a certain hammer"

"Yes!" Yuan Xi suddenly snorted coldly, Hu Niu'er couldn't help but tremble, and immediately lowered his head and retreated to the side.

Yuan Xi really couldn't help this stupid cow, he looked at Yuan Ping and said, "Fifth brother, how many people are there in the military division?"

"Second brother, the number of soldiers recruited recently has reached more than thirty, but it still needs a period of training," Yuan Ping replied.

"There are only more than 30 people, too few, with the current soldiers and horses of Wei County, at least 100 people can be allocated!" Gao Ran was a little worried, he knew the deployment of the military division, if he wanted to assign each team, more than 23,000 people, a hundred was already extremely reluctant.

"General Gao rest assured, this has nothing to do with it, the key to the military division is his development, they can go to Wei County, and it will be gradually unfolded, but a good leader is needed" Yuan Xi said softly.

"Do you have a suitable candidate," Yuan Xi asked.

Yuan Ping frowned slightly, and said with some concern: "There is one, but this person is a little extreme."

"Extreme" Yuan Xi was surprised.

"Yes, this person's name is Li Yong, the word Xingwen, a person from Qingzhou, he has read books for a few years, and he has a little knowledge, after joining the Iron Guard Battalion this time, I arranged him to the military department, and I originally wanted to teach him, but I didn't expect this guy to be particularly talented, and he easily understood the essentials of the military department, not only put forward some suggestions for improvement to the current military department, but more importantly, he seems to have been fanatical about the second brother to the extreme, and often said that he has found his lifelong ambition" Yuan Ping said softly.

"Really?" Yuan Xi's eyes showed a hint of interest, and he ordered: "Bring him to see me immediately"
