Chapter 41: Training Recruits

After Liu He and Fu Zhu returned to Lulong from Jicheng, half a month later, the imperial court reported urgently: Liu He was promoted to be the captain of the school according to his military merits and clan status, and the rest of the people were promoted to one level and rewarded with one million, but it was only 500,000 yuan.

"Officials are corrupt! Officialdom is dim! We fought bravely against the enemy, but they started to divide the money. Liu He sighed, and immediately turned his head to frustrated: "Mr. Wronged, come with me to this lonely place." ”

"The son has great ambitions, has good plans, has the opportunity to contain the universe, and has the ambition to swallow heaven and earth, which is called heroic! It is a blessing to be taught by the son. Why worry about such things, as long as the son has a heart to support the Han family, he will definitely be able to turn things around. The four bold words of the son were also heard: 'Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations'.

"Sir is false! Heaven and earth have no heart, but people have a heart, that is, the heart of compassion, the son said, 'Do not do to others what you do not want', do not seek benevolence in the knowledge of benevolence, good benevolence and evil are not benevolent, can be like this, but for heaven and earth to establish a heart. Liu He looked at the wilderness outside the pass: "Establish a life for the people, that is, for the 'people and my compatriots to come', its destiny lies in teaching, and 'cultivation is teaching', which is also said." In order to continue to learn from the saints, revive the hundred schools, and pass on the art of the sons to rejuvenate the country. In this way, peace can be opened for all generations. ”

Liu He paused and said: "But now I want to take the old county to govern Pinggang and recover the six counties of Beiping on the right, why can Mr. teach me?" ”

"Childe has long been careful, and he is willing to check and fill in the gaps for Childe." Fu Zhu also looked outside the gate: "What a great river and mountain! ”

"Sir is too modest, and he wishes to hear about it." Liu He turned around and said.

"Relying on Xu Wu and Junmi two counties, farming and Yimin are accumulating grain; Then enter the Tun Baicao Valley, build the city and gradually camp through Xu, Jun Er County, Galulong Fortress, each other into a horn trend. After the treatment of equipment, the dispatch of elite horses, the money on the border, so that the Xianbei main department is not at ease, I take its escape. Frustrated.

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, build hard villages, and fight in a daze." Liu He said with a smile: "Sir's plan is a dignified plan, step by step." ”

"But for now, we still have to let the soldiers recover their combat strength." Frustrated.

In the fortress, more than 300 wounded soldiers have been healed, but half of the 500 seriously wounded soldiers are dead, plus 700 remnants, and now the garrison is only more than 1,000 people. After January, the Assassin Mansion sold the war horses, had money and food, and Liu He's supplies arrived, and he discussed with Cheng Pu and Fu Zhu to recruit new soldiers.

"Childe! If you want to recruit soldiers, you must first recruit displaced people, and first, you can organize households to gather people and increase tax revenue; Second, those who have constant production have perseverance. Frustrated suggested.

"There is no urgency. Demou, how is the recruitment of troops in the three counties of Xu Wu, Wuzhong, and Junmi? Liu He asked.

"Two hundred." Cheng Pu looked at the bamboo slips.

Liu He thought that he could only focus on training these 200 people, and let Zou Jing and Guan Yu practice.

Guan Yu asked Liu He: "Lord, tomorrow for the first time, I don't know what the plan is?" Is it to learn to practice martial arts? Or swords, archery? "He is one of the tun chiefs, and he will practice for the first time tomorrow, so I can't help but ask Liu He what the charter is.

There is no need for him to ask, Liu He also plans to say that his drill plan must be cooperated by everyone.

"How did you practice in previous years?" Liu He looked at Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu replied: "In previous years, I practiced fighting first, then learned swords, and finally archery. ”

Liu He smiled: "I plan to change it this year, and I plan to do so tomorrow." Sui'an and Yunchang, I have to rely on you a lot. ”

After Zou Jing and Guan Yu heard what he said, they were stunned at first, and then they were very puzzled, but when they saw that Liu He was unquestionable, they took the order.

The next day, Zou Jing was blind, because he didn't know anything about the method of training soldiers that Liu He said, as far as he knew, the infantry was to train the individual combat of the sergeants, and when he was a soldier before, he also trained him in this way, but now Liu He has to train the queue first. First of all, you must stand neatly and know the direction, and then turn left and right, turn forward and turn back, and turn people to the fullest.

"Lord, what are you doing with this for the training of recruits, standing neatly and can't be eaten, and we are not royal honor guards!" Zou Jing said distressedly.

Liu He knew that he couldn't say it clearly, so he went into battle in person.

In the era of cold weapons, the most important thing for infantry is discipline, an order, move forward bravely, imagine what you can do on the battlefield, your martial arts can be all over the sky, thousands of spears poke around, thousands of long knives one after another, that is, the gods descend to earth, but also poke a few transparent holes for you, and cut you down.

The queue, the first thing to practice is discipline, to let the sergeants form a knee-jerk reaction, go to the battlefield, the commander gives an order, and naturally make corresponding actions. Kung Fu is of course good, but only if there is disciplined kung fu. Now that I don't have the capital, let everyone who has kung fu go to be scouts, and I don't need any kung fu to train the infantry, just have discipline.

Liu He knows that it took several years or even more than ten years to build an elite army in ancient times, and now the farmers he recruited are completely starting from scratch, no better than the light heroes recruited in Zhuoxian County before.

Zuotun Tun Tun Chang is Zhang Fei, he stood at the head of the queue with an aggrieved face, Liu He walked around with a horse whip, and saw which one stood crooked, it was a whip, which one stood loosely, and it was a whip, and the sergeants who were not the same thing before saw that even the tun chief Zhang Fei was also beaten twice in a row, and finally knew that it was powerful, all of them stood straight, and their eyes did not squint, but it was quite a bit of a look.

Guan Yu only had about fifty people under him, barely standing in a phalanx, Liu Bei was relaxed, and with his fifty or so people practicing his fists and feet in the other corner, you come and go, hey, come and go, and cast sympathetic glances here from time to time.

After practicing for more than ten days in a row, this team of more than 200 people finally stood in shape, Liu He began to turn left and right, poor these sergeants have never heard these passwords, and they turned messy at the beginning, either you touched me, or I took you, and from time to time the two came face to face, so the whip fell on them mercilessly, and now Zou Jing and Guan Yu led the team themselves, and the two also carried the whip and joined the ranks of the wrong whip.

At the end of the day, I was much more tired than practicing fighting in the army before, and all the sergeants went to the training ground, ate in three or two times, and fell asleep one by one, and the snoring in the barracks came and went, like thunder, and now it was Liu He's turn to suffer, and he couldn't sleep at all.

A month later, Liu He said to Zou Jing, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei with satisfaction: "Now it's a little bit of a look, you select the team leader from your subordinates, and the team leader leads the team to practice, and you supervise, well, you can practice with weapons now." ”

Zhang Fei, who had suffered for a month, asked cautiously: "Lord, then what are we practicing?" ”

"What is the most weapon in our battalion right now?" Liu He asked.

"The most are guns and spears, guns and spears are cheap, and then there are Pu Dao." Zhang Fei said.

"Well, the spearman will practice a move, stab. The sword soldier will practice a move, split! Liu He didn't think about it, and blurted out.

"Huh?" The generals looked at each other.

"Yes, it's stabbing and splitting!" Liu He said, "But at the same time of stabbing and splitting, the queue must be neat and not chaotic!" Not only for new recruits, but also for veterans. ”

Alas! The generals sighed at the same time. I thought I was out of the sea of suffering, but I didn't expect that there would be a deeper front, it was difficult to keep it neat empty-handed, and it took a month to have a little appearance, and now to hold a weapon, the difficulty has increased not a little or two.

"Also, gather all the literate sergeants, train during the day, and teach the illiterate soldiers to read at night." Liu Hedao.

"Lord!" The generals shouted in unison, "We are the only ones who can read." ”

"Then you teach. Remember that now these more than 1,000 people are seeds, officer seeds! What if I can't read? Will I use the drawing after I give the order? ”
