In the camps of the soldiers of the various departments outside the city, it seems to be a little panicked, and many of the soldiers in the camps have even been killed and wounded.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army outside the city, Lu Bu looked at the results of the record, and his face was a little gloomy.

After some generals saw Lu Bu's gaze, they lowered their heads.

"Last night, Ben Hou ordered the cavalry to test the training of various departments, but the result was unsatisfactory, do you know how many people will be killed and injured after such a training, the number of soldiers killed last night reached more than 20, and the number of wounded soldiers was more than 100." Lu Bu frowned.

"And three of the generals took away the banners of the enemy, and five of the armies were panicked in the face of the surprise attack, waiting for this kind of training, and still thinking about going to the battlefield to kill the enemy?" Lu Bu said coldly.

Surprise attack, if the soldiers in the army can gather quickly, there will be no problem, and the cavalry of the raid will not charge after seeing such a situation.

Several generals turned pale when they heard this, and they did not expect that when night had just fallen, the surprise attack would come, and according to previous experience, when the cavalry raided, they often chose to choose the time when the soldiers were most tired from the first to the third watch.

During the daytime, Lu Bu did not conduct an inspection, and the generals of the various ministries secretly raised their vigilance.

"The generals of the five chaotic departments were all demoted to deputy generals, and the generals of the three departments who were deprived of their banners were demoted to captains, and Wen He is responsible for selecting capable people from among the deputy generals of each ministry to serve as generals of each department, I hope you can take this as a warning." Lu Budao.

The eight generals who were demoted, their faces were ashamed, if they were replaced by the previous state army, it would naturally be okay to face such a surprise attack, but at this time, most of the soldiers in the army were soldiers who had just joined the army, although they had been trained to face the raid, when the raid came, they couldn't stop panicking.

But in the face of such a punishment, they have nothing to say, because the generals of other ministries can do a good job, and if they don't do a good job here, it means that their training methods are problematic.

If a deputy general wants to become a general, he needs to go through a lot of credit on the battlefield and have something commendable in the face of war before he can become a general.

Although the captain has a not weak position among the ordinary foot soldiers, there are three captains in the first department, and if you want to become a deputy general, you must not only compete with the other two captains in the army, but also compete with all the captains in the army, and it is not a small difficulty to return to the position of a general from the position of the captain.

This kind of punishment has made the generals in the army even more vigilant.

After everyone left, Lu Bu said: "Wenhe, the generals and soldiers in the army must also carefully investigate to ensure that there is no detailed work of the princes, and now the number of soldiers added to the state army is large, if there are princes' fine works mixed in, it will be extremely unfavorable to the army." ”

"Whoa." Jia Xu arched his hand.

The reason why Jia Xu's status in the Bingzhou Army is so high is not only because he is in charge of intelligence, but also because he is responsible for the investigation of the generals in the army.

"Soldiers in the army, not only to carry out such a test, but the most important way to test is what kind of response they will have when they deal with war." Lu Bu groaned.

Pang Tong was puzzled: "What does the lord mean?" After entering the state, he was reused, but in the face of Jia Xu's strategists under Lu Bu, he still restrained his arrogance, especially Jia Xu, under his plan, he let the princes' coalition army defeat outside Huguan, and fought against the strategists among the princes with the strength of one person, which shows Jia Xu's ability.

Jia Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he set his eyes on Lu Bu.

"Ben Hou decided to let the officers and men of each department conduct a drill, unless the necessary defenders are left, the rest of the departments are at the designated place, the time is limited, and the grain and grass baggage and the officers and men in the army must arrive, what do you think?" Lu Budao, in the future generations, this kind of drill is normal, but he also knows that in today's era, it is difficult to achieve the fastest speed of maneuvering, the fastest speed is no more than the cavalry, and similar to the foot soldiers, the team that transports the baggage is relatively slow.

"If the lord does this, the consumption of grain and grass will be huge, and it will also cause the princes to shake." Jia Xu said.

"What can the princes shake, what Benhou needs is an army that can fight well, and now there are 140,000 troops under Benhou's rule, if it can't be guaranteed to have a fast enough ability to deal with it on the battlefield, when facing a war in the future, it will definitely suffer a lot of losses, and even affect the outcome of a war." Lu Budao.

"Whoa." Seeing that Lu Bu's expression was firm, and he even carried out a large-scale drill at the cost of consuming grain and grass, Jia Xu and Pang Tong gave up, thinking about the benefits of this move in their hearts.

Now the army under the command of Lu Bu is not comparable to any of the princes in terms of combat effectiveness, and this has been proved on the battlefield of Huguan, but the drill of the army under his rule is of great importance, and even makes the princes panic, and looking at Lu Bu's behavior, it is clear that he did not take the attitude of the princes to heart.

After the war, the princes are in a state of recuperation, there will be no major war, they do not have the ability to deal with the war, it does not mean that Lu Bu does not have, now the officers and soldiers of the army are training, only war can make them grow up quickly.

When Cao Cao led his troops to attack Xuzhou, there were such thoughts.

"With Wenhe and Shiyuan, where would it be more appropriate to set the location?" Lu Bu asked, this matter was not a whim, he had been thinking about it secretly for a while.

As a strong army, it is necessary to be able to go to the battlefield at all times and achieve victory.

Especially in the face of long-distance travel, it is a huge test for the non-commissioned officers in the army, which not only exercises the ability of the soldiers to deal with the war, but also can see what kind of shortcomings exist in the army when facing the war, which is of vital significance for an army.

The two followed Lu Bu to the study, saw the topographic map hanging on the wall, and finally set their eyes on Jizhou, which was not only close to Qingzhou, but also Yanzhou under Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao had absolute control over Yanzhou, in the Yellow River it was divided into two parts of Yanzhou's eastern county, and if the army came to Jizhou, it would not only create huge pressure on Yuan Shao, but also make Cao Cao shake.

Today is still eight watches, a day on a business trip, so pitiful.
