this day.

Jingliao County School Field.

After breakfast, the soldiers began a day of rigorous training, first of all, running ten laps around the school field, one circle of the school field is one mile, ten laps is ten miles, 30,000 soldiers ran quickly around the school field, stirring up dust.

Sun Yu, Zhang Meng, Huang Quan and Wang Xu stood in the school field, and Huang Quan said: "Lord, this is running around the school field every day, can you kill the enemy?" ”

Sun Yu was also puzzled: "Except for being able to tire the soldiers half to death, it is useless; The subordinates suggested that they immediately conduct training in wielding knives, bayonets, bows and arrows, etc."

"Well, this run is what the soldier must do every morning, although he is not a skill to kill the enemy, but it can exercise the soldier's body, and it will be beneficial and harmless; There must be no interruption under any circumstances".

For the training of soldiers, Wang Xu has drawn up a rough plan, in general, it is divided into three steps, first, to exercise the physical fitness of soldiers, because these 30,000 soldiers can be said to be selected from the victims, compared with poor physical fitness, Wang Xu decided to run for ten miles every morning; In fact, running is not exactly for exercising, and it is important that there is no shortage of neatness when running can also make soldiers feel the discipline and unity of the army.

The second is to teach the skills of killing the enemy, which are spear assassination, horizontal knife swinging, and bow and arrow shooting, which are also often used by soldiers and must be trained; Due to the lack of weapons and armor, the 30,000 soldiers were still not fully equipped, and most of them were still holding only a sharpened wooden stick. Although only 10,000 people can participate in Tianyunzhai's anti-bandit operation, Wang Xu thinks it is enough; If 10,000 well-equipped soldiers can't handle 5,000 bandits, then what kind of battle is there to fight?

Third, we must practice courage, in the end, we still need to fight with our lives, and we need to fight with blood and courage, and we can't fight without courage and courage; Often many soldiers can compare with each other on the training ground, but it is not the case on the battlefield, Wang Xu's purpose in training soldiers is to avoid this situation; However, it is impossible to really practice killing the enemy on this school field, Wang Xu can only give the soldiers a simulated killing every other day, that is, a side of 500 people to fight, can only use wooden sticks, and is not allowed to beat people to death.

"Huang Quan, among the 10,000 soldiers equipped with armor, there are 5,000 sword and shield fighters and 2,000 archers, these 7,000 people are the main force attacking Tianyun Village, and now you are responsible for the training, I will only give you ten days, and after ten days, these 7,000 people should be like an out-of-body sword, and I will take him to sweep Tianyun Village."

Huang Quan was a little surprised, thinking that his art of war was not as good as Sun Yu, and his martial arts were not as good as Sun Yu, let alone this war, but the lord still took himself so seriously, if he didn't make some achievements, how to appreciate the lord's appreciation, Huang Quan nodded seriously, to: "Don't worry, your subordinates must be trained strictly."

"Sun Yu, your weapon is a spear, and you are familiar with the use of spears, so I will hand over the remaining three thousand spear warriors to you, you must train well and not slack off."

"No".

Zhang Meng stood behind Wang Xu, seeing that Huang Quan and Sun Yu had received soldiers, he was a little anxious, but he could pinch his fingers and count, there are still 20,000 people, does the lord want to hand over these 20,000 people to me for training? Look at the school field, although there are many people, but who else can lead an army of 20,000 besides himself.

Zhang Meng asked excitedly: "Lord, there are still 20,000 people, are you going to hand it over to me for training?" ”

"You?" Wang Xu smiled, pointed to the soldiers standing at the gate of the school, and said, "Your soldiers are there, five hundred sword and shield hands."

Seeing that Zhang Meng was a little unhappy, Wang Xu said: "Didn't you already say it two days ago, you are responsible for training your own soldiers, think about it, if you can train these 500 people to beat Sun Yu's 3,000 people, then."

"Okay, I'll train my own soldiers," Zhang Meng said briskly.

Three poles on the sun.

In the backyard of the government, after explaining all the things in the barracks, Wang Xu was idle, as the master of the people, he didn't need to do many things himself, and he was not as good as Sun Yu and Zhang Meng in terms of martial arts and the art of war, but this was not important, and he was also self-aware; As the master of the people, you don't need to know the soldiers, but you need to know the people, especially who to fight for yourself.

Jia Hui hurriedly walked into the backyard, with a smile on his face, and said, "Lord, the 50,000 grains in Minglan County have arrived, and the subordinates have stored the grain in the warehouse and sealed it."

"Well, with this batch of grain, we won't have to worry about food in two months."

Jia Hui seemed to remember something, and said: "Lord, there is one more thing, Hu Ling, the deputy general of Minglan County, did not leave after transporting the grain to Jingliao County, but continued to stay thirty miles outside Jingliao County, camping, I don't know what the intention is."

Wang Xu doesn't know much about this Hu Ling, the only thing that can be determined is that this person is as timid as a mouse, several times Zhang Meng chased him alone, he avoided fighting and retreated, for such a person, Wang Xu's method is to ignore it.

"Don't worry about him, he didn't dare to fight me when our army only had 5,000 soldiers and horses before, and now our army has 30,000 soldiers, how dare he offend me." Jia Hui served as a county magistrate for five days, and he was happy and sincere to the young man in front of him, although he was only sixteen years old, he was resolute and thoughtful; At a young age, he has already led troops outside, has tens of thousands of soldiers, and has a good way to control his subordinates; In time, it will not be in the pool.

Seeing that Jia Hui was distracted, Wang Xu asked, "What are you thinking, is there anything else?" ”

Jia Hui came back to his senses and continued: "Lord, now the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims in the city have nothing to do all day, and the subordinates want to mobilize them to build the city wall, I don't know what the lord will do?" ”

"Accurate, idle is idle, you can deal with these things" In fact, building the city wall is not a little good for Wang Xu, although Jingliao is good, it is difficult to hold for a long time, maybe the prince will die that day, and the prince will seize the throne, then his good days will come to an end, how can a small Jingliao county block the 100,000 army of the prince, no matter how much it is repaired, it will not help.

"No" Jia Hui saluted and turned around and walked out of the backyard.

Thirty miles west of Jingliao County, here is Hu Ling's military camp, 5,000 soldiers camped for several miles, the military appearance is quite neat, after transporting the grain to Jingliao County, Hu Ling did not lead the army back, but stationed in place, the reason is not the order of the Hou Ye, but Hu Ling had to do it if he wanted to save his life.

As a general, he was afraid of the enemy and avoided the war, and repeatedly delayed the fighter plane and fell into the little marquis and danger, Zhu Huan sent someone to send an order to remove Hu Ling from the post of deputy general, return to the county government to await trial, and all military power was handed over to Zhu Yu.

At this time, the herald had just finished delivering the order, and Zhu Yu took more than a dozen personal guards to wait in the big tent of the Chinese army, but Hu Ling was not in the big tent of the Chinese army at this time.
