In the past, the army was conscripted, unless the people were forced to join the army consciously for life, normal people who would be willing to send their children to the army, but now, as long as it comes to the conscription of the state army, the first reaction of many people is to send their children to the army, spontaneously go to the army, and the forced joining of the army has a world of difference, and the non-commissioned soldiers who spontaneously enter the army should work harder and harder in training, because they enter the army is their own wish.

"Don't talk about these, no matter what orders the Marquis of Jin has, this general is fighting this old bone, and he will not let the princes' treacherous tricks succeed, what kind of goods are they, when Bingzhou faced the siege of the Xianbei army, there were people who took action to merge the state, and when the state army and the Youzhou army fought against Xianbei, I didn't see the princes send reinforcements or transport grain and grass to come." The more Xiao Yan spoke, the more angry he became.

"It turned out to be Xu Taishou and General Xiao, please come in." Dian Wei, who was guarding outside the door, saw the two and greeted them with a smile.

The two of them didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute, not mentioning anything else, the identity of the commander of Dian Wei's personal guard was enough to make all the generals respect.

After entering the governor's mansion, the two also felt the solemnity of the atmosphere, no matter how confident the two were in the state, but now the situation facing the state is very critical, the strength of the princes on all sides is very strong, especially after successive battles, the soldiers in the princes' army are not comparable to the past.

When the princes are fighting, they pay more attention to the improvement of military strength, only when the strength of the army is strong, can there be more say among the princes, which is the same even now, so the princes also attach great importance to the army, and no one wants to be worse than others.

In the hall, the generals from various counties gathered together, Lu Bu sat at the top of the position, and the civil and military generals of the state were on both sides, but anyone who could come to this occasion was a figure with a head and a face in the state, and had a certain status in the army or in the officialdom.

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Bu coughed lightly and said: "Now the situation in the state, there is no need for Benhou to say, I think you also have some understanding, among the armies of each county, except for the Yanmen defenders and Yunzhong defenders, the armies of the rest of the counties, Benhou does not know. ”

"The war is coming, the sergeants and soldiers of the army must ask for the elite, three days later, Benhou will evaluate the various departments, and if it is found that the unqualified soldiers will be sent out of the army, all the unqualified generals will be eliminated, and no one will be allowed to fill the number of people in the state army."

Lu Bu's loud words made the generals in the field secretly raise their vigilance, and they were all thinking about how to make the soldiers under their command meet the qualified standards after going back, and although Lu Bu's words were aimed at the generals from various counties, they did not exclude Jinyang's army, and if they were eliminated in this assessment, it would undoubtedly be a shame.

The generals also pay a lot of attention to face.

"Wen He is in charge of intelligence, don't slack off, and closely inquire about the news of the princes of all parties." Lu Bu turned his attention to Jia Xudao, the head of the civil officials.

Jia Xu said that in recent times, Jia Xu has been the busiest, not only to make a strategy for the princes to attack and annex the state, but also to collect news from all sides, and discover the movements of the princes' army from these news.

Subsequently, after Jia Xu and others analyzed the current situation in the state in detail, everyone got up and left, but when they walked out of the state pastor's mansion, everyone's faces were a little heavy.

"Xu Taishou and General Xiao have been stationed in Yunzhong and Yanmen Pass for many years, which can be described as hard work." Lu Bu said with a smile.

The two didn't dare to say anything, at the beginning, Xiao Yan was dissatisfied with Lu Bu, but after a series of wars, the dissatisfaction had already disappeared, and how chaotic Bingzhou was at the beginning, it was because of Lu Bu's arrival and strong means that the young people in Bingzhou were awarded the head, such merits, looking at the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, few people can compare.

"Xu Taishou, whether you are leading troops to fight or governing places, you are a very outstanding talent." Lu Bu did not hesitate to praise him.

"Humble duty is nothing but doing what is within one's duty, and it is not worthy of the praise of the lord." Xu Rong hurriedly arched his hand, he could imagine that if it wasn't for Lu Bu to capture him, after following Dong Zhuo back to Chang'an, the situation at this time can be imagined, for Lu Bu, he is grateful, it was Lu Bu who gave him a stage to display his abilities.

Needless to say, Xiao Yan has been guarding Yanmen Pass for many years, and he can be said to have a deep affection for Bingzhou, Lu Bu defeated Xianbei, he has been convinced by Lu Bu, and it is natural to obey Lu Bu's orders.

"I wonder what Xu Taishou and General Xiao think of the troops from various counties?" Lu Bu asked.

There were 30,000 soldiers and horses left in Chang'an, and the standing troops and horses in Jinyang were only 20,000, even if they added the retreating army in Hanoi, there were no more than 30,000 at most.

Now that Xianbei has been pacified, there are few thieves and robbers in Bingzhou, and it will not be a big deal to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Xu Rong said: "My lord, the three thousand soldiers in the clouds are definitely brave and good at fighting, and the elite of the defenders of Yanmen Pass is also undoubted, but the defenders of other counties and counties in Bingzhou lack experience in war. ”

Xiao Yan echoed: "Xu Taishou's words are very true, the soldiers lie in the essence and not in the many, the strength of Huguan that can withstand the attack of the princes' army is only a few thousand, and from the perspective of his subordinates, there are 40,000 defenders who are enough." ”

Lu Bu said slowly: "40,000 defenders are enough, if one day the Japanese marquis is forced to fight a decisive battle with the princes' coalition army, the soldiers of other counties may lack experience on the battlefield, and the Huguan battlefield is where they have experienced." ”

"It's the subordinates who are not thoughtful." Xu Rong arched his hand.

"After three days, the Benhou will inspect the soldiers who come from each county, and the unqualified generals will be demoted." Lu Budao.

"The lord is wise." Xu Rongdao.

"After the two of you go back, you must also train the soldiers and horses carefully, if you compare the soldiers of other counties and counties at that time, your face will be dull." Lu Bu said with a smile, the standing soldiers in the counties and counties in the state are also extremely strict in training, what they lack between them and the elite is the experience on the battlefield, in the execution of orders and the level of training, it is not much worse, and what Lu Bu needs is the absolute elite of the army under the rule of the state, and the battlefield is indispensable.

After talking freely with the two, the two got up and left, and at the same time became more confident in Lu Bu's victory over the alliance of princes.

In Jinyang Prison, when Qin Yang and Qin Yan saw Qin Tian, their expressions could not hide their shock, Qin Tian was not only the master of the Black Ice Platform, but also the strongest in the Black Ice Platform in terms of swordsmanship, it was with his powerful swordsmanship and extraordinary means that the Black Ice Platform had been greatly developed in Qin Tian's hands.
